THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1896. DECLARES TS INDEPENDENCE, The Panama Railroad Out in a Ringing Mani- festo. ITS POSITION DEFINED.

As aining this prominent atti- , operated under the name of_the and plylng between New York 1 giving it & through line from ork to Panama. This makes it inter- ested in the New York and San Francisco trade f 55 per cent, and it is Dot rea- ppose that it will close its line , of which it has demonstrated ) curry so large a volume and from this reasonable share of the e to sn which it earnin, 1 understand the contract gives your com- pany the right to name westbound rates. Now, ”1 it is the intention of your company to be identif] d with this traflic, why did you dis- e a1l quotations on westbound iraffic at iis end of the line? You are right; the contract givesus the ex- clusive right to make the westbound irates, and my discontinuing quotations here on this ss is purely temporary. It arises from act thet we ure now doing the rican business from New York whic heretofore done by the Pacific Mail ships. The retiring of those ships from the Atlantic ser- vice throws the traffic referred to on our Columbian line ships, and this leaves a lim- ited space for the California business. To £v0id the possible embarrassing complications of quoting rates without being able to guaran- tee room; of having freight shipped to our ntral was il Steamship Company and the run- | Pacific Mail Steam- | bordinate to its for- | to interfere with its maintaining a | ght and now owns its own fleet in | | | line from outlying points areund New York | and having it refused on account of scarcity of room, and other like complications, we con- | cluded it would be better to make no quota- | tioms here until we have increased our facili- | ties in the Atlantic. | Ttis the iutention of the company to add to | the Columbian line, 0 as to have & weel | service between. New York and Colon, which | | will be done at the eariiest practicable | moment. In the meantime John Muir, our | traflic manager, is quoting westbound rates in | New York and engaging California cargo to the extent required by the present limited | room. Assoon as additional ships are put on | we will want quite as much, if not more, of the | California traffic than we bave ever enjoved, | and our temporary withdrawal of rates should | 1ot be supposed to indicate any lack of interest | in the business on our part. It is the inten- tion of our company to maintain an agency in | San Francisco, and apart from looking after the | general interests of the line in any direction it will be the duty of the agent to quote rates on | and ook after westbound business particnlarly. This in itself is significant of the independent | attitude of the compeny, since it would not go | to the expense of logking af business from | which it had determined to r How about eastbound business? Are you as | much interested in that asin tue westbound business, and, if so, did you surrender the right to make the rates? . We are quite as much interested in one asin the other, and we be found quite as SURIBUEG aeralon castbound tratlic as in | the past. to th making power it always 1 transportation lines | 4 he business to make | the contract simply t because the Panama he castbound it by they have retired from | act pledges each party to Panama Toute all the freight be secured with & A Tout to the agreement should fail such rates from San Fran- 1k as_are mecessary to furnish a route its full share of the traflic ction in competition with the such feilure would be a viola- tr is obvious from this Irond does not make iness 1ts relinquish- rivilege is not a surrender of the titwill always havea very lively ntrolling influence in the gen- | distinctly assured under reement. ou refer to giving the Panama route <hare” of traflic, what do you mean? csent this is limited only by our capi iich 1 have explained, is considerably )y reason of our taking on the Central an cargo from New York and from The general merchandise movement to v southbound from New York and the coffee movement from that terri- v is also heavy northbound from Colon, so our “full share” now of the California uflic, exther eastor west bound, is a great deal s than we have formerly carried and very ch less than we shall require when we shall ve inereased our fleet in the Atlantic. The impression is general that your company isabout to enter a combine to_ndvance rates for the benefit of the overland lines; is this true ? It is rensonable to suppose that an advance will be reached at some time. As transporta- | e the ag | ke t E | tion people we want to get a fair return for the service rendered, and we would be glad to see | rates restored 10 a reasonable and remunera- tive basis, but it is ridiculous to suppose that we are controlled by other interests than our own in sdvancing any rates. Of course the a 11 probably be made by agreement with e interested lines, as uniformity in rates can > reached in no Other way, but the Panama »ad’s representative, who has under the ct the exclusive right to conduct such {ations, will join in the advance solely in the interests of the Panama route, and not in the interest of any overland line or combi- nation of lines. The Panemea Railroad has not sold out nor | surrendered, and its interest in the transcon- | tinental traffic is not one whit less keen than | it Las been during the last three years. To | quote the language of our president. J. Ed- | ward Simmons, the Panama officials, in formu- | 1ating a contract, “made it an indispensable | condition that thé Panama Railroad should be | kept open asan independent and active com- | petitor of the transcontinental lines.” One of | the most marked features of the new agree- | ment is the strong guarantee it _affords of the | perfect independence of the Panama route, | and the line isentitled to just as cordial sup- port now from the merchants of San Francisco s though the Panama Railroad Compan: were operating its own steamers in the Pacific. HAS THE LION'S SHARE: Railroads After Some of the Southern Pacific’s Immigrant Business. Excessive Commissions Said to Have Been Paid in the Securing of Trade. CHICAGO, Irr., Jan. 14.—Representa- [ tives of the railroads in the Western Im- | migrant Clearing-house were in confer- | ence to-day with Assistant General Traffic | Manager Hawley of the Southern Pacific | road in Chairman Caldwell’s office for the | purpose of getting that road into the | | clearing-house. The combined lines had | made a proposition to the Southern Pacific | for a division of the immigrant business, the lion’s share of which, it is allezed, 1s | being diverted across the continent via | New Orleans by the Southern Pacific paying | excessive commissions, if not directly then | through its immediate connection, the | Seaboard air line. Mr. Hawley made a | counter proposition to-day, and as the conference adjourned at a late hour with- out reaching an agreement it is presumed the Southern Pacific Company, which has 'a big natural advantage, wants a percent- | | age of the business the competing lines are not disposed to grant. All the business hich passes through the Clearing-house is being thrown to the Santa Fe at the | Missouri River, 50 as to drive the Southern | Pacific to terms if possible. | The Colorado passenger-rate war which began yesterday was ended to-day by the | Union Pacific road giving notice to its | | fighting connection, the Denver and Gulf, | | that it would refuse to honor the cut-rate tickets, and the war is still confined to | Colorado. Officials of the Rio Grande and Gulf lines are on their way to Chicago to confer with President Ripley of the Santa Fe to bring peace among the three fight- ing lines regarding coal rates. e WRECKED ON THE REEFS.

WASHINGTON, ., Jan. 14.—Foreign | affairs were evidently not considered at the | Cabinet meeting to-day as Secretary Olney was not present. He had a short interview with the President this morning and re- turned to the State Department before the meeting began. Mr. Olney’s object in ab- senting himself from the White House was to give him opportunity for an inter- view with Senator Sherman, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela- tions. Mr. Olney and Mr. Sherman were clfln_seted for some time in Mr. Olney's office, but ng as owned by { Sy A Warchouse Burned, BUFFALO, N. Y., Jan. 14.—The ware- house of the Jewett Stove Works was de- stroyed by fire early thisevening. The loss is estimated at $250,000, of which $150,000 is on stock. The origin of the fire is unknown. ) ol “Chimmic Fadden” a Success. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 14—The play of “Chimmie Fadden” is & success. The Journal, Advertiser, Record, Mercury, World and Times all speak well of the in- RUSSIAN COUNT OR SIBERIAN CONVICT., Toulouse Lutrec Said to Be a Fraud. OFFICIALS ARE EXCITED. Consul-General V. Artsimovitch Thinks the Traveler Is the Notorious Savin. A PRINCE OF THE SWINDLERS. Savin Was Pretender to the Bulgarian Throne and His Escapades Are Famous. The giant-sized, handsome Count de Toulouse Lutrec, who arrived here tweo weeks ago from Siberia, is a most unfor- The Alleged Nobleman De| time the count’s callers continued. He | grew in importance apace. | What 1s regarded as a strange thing, | however, in that in all the time he was here he did not call on the Russian Consul-General. ~Another strange thing is | that none of the Russians who arrived in from Vladivostok can remember any railroad contractor of the name of Count | de Toulouse Lutrec. They think, too, that held a contract. Consul-General Artsimovitch of Russia, who was seen yesterday, said : “I think it quite probable that this man is Savin. The latter has recently finished his term and he would have about tire enough to comfortably get here.” He de- scribed Savin as a very shrewd big-brained throughout Europe. His manners, he said, were perfect, and he thought men here were taking great chances with any | stranger who did not come well recom- mended. A colonel commanding the Cossack brigade in the Amoor region, who arrived here recently, had heard of the alleged Count in Seattle, where he remained sev- eral days prior to coming here. The colonel was told on the train, near Ta- coma, that a very distinguished country man of his, namely, the Count de Tou- louse Lutree, had been there. The colonel had not heard of any Count Lutrec in Si- beria other than Savin, whom he knew. He asked for a description of the Count. It was given to him, and he was so well convinced that it was the man who had such a strange course in Europe that he¢ told 1t all here, and advised his friends to be on their guard. A strange thing about this Count Tom~ | THE MAN KNOWN IN THIS CITY [Sketched from life AS COUNT DE TOULOUSE LUTREC. by a “Call ” artist.] tunate man if he is not the worl adventurer and swindler, Savin, who wa once pretender to the throne of Bulgaria. Russian officials now in this City, among them Consul-General Vladimir A. Ar simovitch, thinks that the man who h arrived here is the swindler. Savin committed many offenses against the laws of France, Germany, Belgium, Russia and other countries. swindled many people, doing it in so ac- complished a way that he was a very Napcleon. His master stroke was in 1887 while Bul- garia was at war with Servia. Then he appeared as claimant to the Buigarian throne. Many people believed in him and his claim, and advanced a large amount numerous offenses, he was extradited to Russia, and on conviction was sentenced to aterm of years in one of the colonies. This term has recently expired. man physically almost the exact counte part of Savin should arrive here from § beria; next, that the man should bear the name of Count de Toulouse Lutrec. No other alleged Count of th was known in Siberia by the R have arrived here recently. 1t is said th: as far as the Russian branch of the Tou- louse Lutrecs is concerned there are none of the male line living. The family had its origin in France. Count de Toulouse Lutrec, or the pre- tender to that title, registered at the Pal- ace on his recent arrival. He changed, however, almost immediately and went to the Hotel Gailhard. On being inter- viewed he gave out the statement that he had been for two years in Siberia as a con- tractor on Russian railroads. He said that he was by profession an engineer, The alleged count said that he was on his way to Paris. He told of the money there was to be made in Siberia in taking contracts for building the Russian road. This, he said, he was anxious to have known in California from purely philanthropic motives. Several railroad contractors came to see him, among them F. Erickson, who has a contract in San Luis Obispo County for grading on the Pacific Coast Railroad. Mr. Erickson built a great deal of the Canadian Pacific, and also has built railroads in Africa. As a resultof his conferences with the Russian visitor it is said he has bought his transportation for Vladivostock and is to sail in a day or two. The count said there were loads of money in taking railroad contracts there. He also said that we could send all oprold things to Vladivostock and get good money for them. He deplored the fact that there were no modern machinery and appliances for railroad building in Russia, and said that one object of his was to pur- chase extensive supplies on this line. He was soon in telegraphic communication with manufacturers in 8t. Louis, Colum- bus, Chicago and other places. He is saidto bea man of great enter- prises and purposes. He had also a great admiration for the ladies and went into name itial performace. raptures about their loveliness, Mean- Austria, | He | of money for him. Finally, for one of | Icis pointed out as an odd thing that | just after the expiration of thisterm,a | sians who | -famed | louse after his arrival was that, though according to his own story he had made plenty of money on his railroad contract, which according to one story was for twenty-four miles of grading, and by an- other 120, he had collected material for a book exposing the cruelties of Russian prison life. This book, he said, was to be a very thorough - one, of many thousands of | words. He said that it would surpass the most tragic features of the stories of orge Keunan, and cause a sensation throughout the world. How & man who had made big profit from a Russian rail- road contract, and who expected to get | more contracts, could expect to hold these contracts while exposing the Government prisons he did not attempt to say. Those who are suspicious of his movements, however, think he got mixed up on his plan Anyway, the nobleman has gone right along ficuring and meeting his friends every day., A week ago B. A. Aldrich, & manufac- turer of St. Louis, arrived here and regis- tered at the Palace. He was not long in meeting the Count de Toulouse. The up- shot of the meeting was that he took the Jount, bag and baggage, with him to St. | Louis. They leit in the evening train yes- ter . | “I am going to furnish a lot of im- | proved machinery for railroad building in iSiberin,” said DBir. Aldrich, as he was | | ready to depart with the Count. “This machinery will consist of plows, wheel- dumps and all the modern appliances used in constructing railroad grades. I am going to be a partner with the Count. We | expect to take contracts for hundreds and | possibly thousands of miles of railroad. I am taking the Count back with me and am paying all his expenses.” If Count de Toulouse Lutrec is the real | Savin the falling in with Aldrich would, | according to the stories told, be as good a ; thing as he could desire. Such things would | be right to the Russian’s hand. Savin is nimble of intellect and absorbs money from all quarters with little effort. Savin comes of a noble family in Rus- sia. Heis a finished French scholar 4nd understands many languages., He came of a race of landholders, He is described as a very large, handsome man, with dark brown or slight reddish hair and piercing dark eyes, His age ought to be about 40 years. Count de Toulouse Lutrec, who has the misfortune to have one of the names that Savin bad, is something over six feet high. His eyes are dark and piercing, his nos- trils very prominent, his hair dark and his mustache and scraggly chin whiskers are a sort of reddish brown. He cannot be more than 40 or 45 years. It is a curious thing, as those who know something about both aver, that there should be so many resemblances in com- mon. Savin was in the midst of his career when about 30. He was extradited to St. Petersburg, tried and convicted, and de- ported to Siberia. He was not, as is stated, incarcerated in prison, but was always left under the eye of the police. C. M. Grunwaldt, a great friend of the they would surely have known him had he | man, who had swindled many people | Russian Fur Company until recently, came from Vladivostok, had seen Savin | at a prior period. He then was smooth- faced, and in size a Hercules, Mr. Grunwaldt never heard of any real | Count de Toulouse being in or about Viadivostok when he was there. He thinks it singular that he should not, if the former really was there. Savin was sentenced to several years in Siberia. It is thought he may have done some work on the railroad in company with other prisoners. AT TOM EDISO. V'S MINE. Practical Conclusion of the Ore-Separat- ing Process. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 14.—Thomas Edison has just breuglhit to a practical con- clusion his great ore-separating process at the mine at Edison, near Ogden, N. J., on which he has been at work for many years. After overcoming obstacles that would have conquered any less persistent experi- m nter, the process has at last been fin- ished and the great plant 1s in running order. The scheme is an interesting oue, in that there is no human intervention during the entire process from start to finish. When the cars of ore or rock are dumped in large masses into the massive crushers that form the first step in the process the rest of the process in entirely automatic, the crushed rock and ore being carried automatically from one set of crushers to another by means of endless belts and bucket elevators, till the material is re- duced to the requisite fineness, and then another series of belts and elevators carry it to the separating house, where the ma- terial falls in a fine stream across a field of large electro-magnets, which divert the iron from the direct {ine of fall and drop it in one receptacle, while the refuse and rock fall into another. This process is re- peated a number of times, till at last the resultant product is pure magnetic oxide of iron. Automatic carriers take the iron ore thence to the bricking plant, where, by in- genious mechanism, over which the great inventor has spent thousands ot dollars in experimentation, the ore is mixed with binding material and pressed into small bricks for convenience in handling. These are then baked and are ready for the mar- ket. The sole remaining work of con- struction yet to be done is the building rotary furnaces which shall bake the bricks as they are delivered and turn them out automatically. There are no mechan- ical or scientific difficulties connected with this part of the process, and these furnaces are to be built as soon as the frost is out of the ground in the spring. S A FLAMES AT A WRECK. An Explosion Scatters Qil Over Many Persons. PITTSBURG, PA., Jan. 14.—News has | been received here of a bad accident that took place this morning on the Alleghany Valley Railroaa’ at a point fifty-eight miles north of this city. A special freight- train struck the engine of a local freight, which was standing on Mahoning bridge. The force was so great that the local freight-engine was knocked off the bridge and fell into the Mahoning River, sixty feet below. At the same moment the boiler of the wrecked engine exploded, throwing flaming coals in all directions’ and setting | fire to the bridge. From the bridge the flames spread to the freight-train, and a number of cars were burned. ; During the fire an_oil tank exploded scattering burning oil over the surround- ing crowd, which numbered fully 200 persons.” Nearly every one in the crowd was injured, some seriously. e No Questions Answered. LONDON, G., Jan. 14.—A meeting of held in London this afternoon. Barney Barnato presided and made a statement explaining the position of the bank. This statement was followed bv a number of motions and debate, which frequent and persistent interruptions rendered desul- tory. A motion of confidence in Barney Barnato was finally carried, after which some shareholders essayed to put ques- tions to the chairman, but the meeting was declared adjourned, cutting off all in- terrogatory proceedings. Thefact that the questions remained unanswered caused some hard feeling and a great deal of loud talking, but the shareholders eventually dispersed in apparent good humor, SR A Treason and Espionage. BERLIN, GERMANY, Jan. 14.—The trial of Paul Schorens, a native of the duchy of Luxemburg, but a naturalized Frenchman, upon charges of treason and espionage, has been postponed indefinitely. He was ar- | rested in conuection with the Cologne | espionage case last fall and conveyed to Leipsic, to be tried asa spy. The suppo- | sition is that the indefinite posponement of his trial is due to fear that the dis- | closures of his trial would compromise | some exalted personages. ————— Robert Kneebs Convicted. BERLIN, GErMANY, Jan. 14.—The trial | of Robert T. Kneebs, the American horse- | owner charged with having entered and | started on German tracks the mare Bethel under the name of **Nellie Kneebs,” which began on Saturday, ended to-day. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty, and the courtsentenced Kneebs to nine months' imprisonment and to pay a fine of 5000 marks, aud also ordered the seizure and forfeiture of the mare. AL Ry The Manitoba Elections. WINNIPEG, Max., Jan, 14.—To-morrow the Manitoba general elections will be held. A review of the situation on the eve of the battle shows that Premier Greenway is certain to carry the country on his schools platiorm. He is conceded twenty- one seats in a house of but forty, but the ovposition hopes to reduce his majority in the Legislature. The prospects are, how- ever, that Greenway will scoop the province. L e Canal Laborers Strike. COLON, Coroxpra, Jan. 14.—The labor- ers on the canal at Culebra have struck for an increase in their wages. A detachment of soldiers has been detached to the scene to preserve order. Several of the em- ployes of the canal company are about to return to France. el e i Baron de Ros Married.
