PORT TOWASEND'S PROJECT. Aspires to Eecome the Terminus of a Huntington Railway From Portland. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasu., Oct. 15 — send Board of Irade last night formal | action was taken toward inducing (be | uthern Pacific Railroad Company to extend its lines from Portland to this | point, giving it an outlet to Puget Sound. Ten years ago when on a visit to this | section, C. P. Huntington spoke favorably of Port Townsend as a railroad terminus, and he expressed the same sentiment three years ago. The Pert Townsend Southern Railroad, with thirty miles in operation and an ex- tension projected to Portland, is an asset of the Orcgon Improvement Company and is to ve sold, with extensive land donations and subsidy, on November 6. President Dennis of the Board of Trad was sent to Portland last week to int view business men and Soathern Pacific officials there regarding the completion of the pojected branch. He was so much encoursged bv his visit that the Board of Trade has now taken up 'he matter in earnest, and a strong committee has been appointed to confer with Huntington and bis associates about the purchase of the road. The road, if put through, would tapa timber belt containing more than 120,000, 000,000 feet, and would give an easier grade to the Sound. than any of the other transcontinental roads. g L STABBED BY HIS BROTHER.

Projected Scheme to Give Los #n. geles an Entirely New Water System. LOS ANGELES, Car.. Oct. 15.—The con- test between the citizens of Los Angeles and the City Water Company bas been given a new turn. Convinced as they are that the water company is delaying as far as possible all negotiations looking forward 10 the transfer of the plant to municipal ewnership the people are now trying to bring ti:e subject to a head. Petitions are in circulation and being generally siened, asking the Council to at onte take the necessary steps to call an election {o vote upon a proposition to issue bonds for building an entirely new water system for this city. The petition recites the fact that the Council has gone to great expense to ascortain the value of the o'd plant, now held by the Los Angeles City Water Com- pauy, and to have plans made for an en- tirely new system. A price fixed by the city engineer has been offered for the old plant, with generous aliowance for incidenta's, all of which bas bsen refused by the water company. The offer of arbitration has been de- clined by the conipany, ana that corpors- tion made excuses and resorted to subter- luges to cause delays, 5o that on the eve of the termination of the thirty-vear lesse almost notning has been accomnplisied toward acquiring the works for the city. It is said to be the intention of the water company to take some legal action bearine on the bond election proceedings that will tie up the matter for years. Feeling on this subject runs very high in this city. e MASONS EXCOMMUNICATED. Archbishop Lopez Creates Consterna- tion in Catholic Church Fanks in Sonora.

Gas Companles Brought to Time by the Use of Petroleum Successful Fights Made to Compel Manufacturers to Keep Within Proper Bounds. Special Dispatch to Tre CALL VIENNA, AvustiiA, Oct. 15.—A new de- parture from the usual method of increas- ing strikes is in progressin all parts of the Austro-Hungarian empire. This time it i3 not the laboring classes trying to ob- tain higher wages or other advantages, but it 1s the people striking against, or rather boycotting the monopolies, and as it seems, with the best results for the people. Within the last three months the in- habitants of some thir'y provincial towns have iusisted that the gas companies in their localities shonld reduce the price of zas, and on the refusal of the companies to do so, had the meters removed from their houses and commenced buranin American petroleum. The gasworks of the twin-cities of Krems-Stein on the Danuve have not furnished gas to any of the inhabitants for over four months, and a similar state of affairs prevaiis in other towns. Many companies have already succumbed any agreed to lower their prices as demanded by the people. As American petroleum is really much cheaper than gas, there can be no doubt whatever that all the companies will soon be forced 1o fellow suit. This kind of boycotting is by no means practiced against the gas companies only, but also agaiunst a large number of brew- eries and distilleries -whose beer or liquor is not obtainabie at as low a price orin as good a quality as the consumers think it ought to be. A large number of brew s in Bohemia have been unable to sell a single barrel of their product for many weeks, and no caterer or bottler deres to patrou zs them, for if they do they will not have a customer left. In the province of Styria and Salzburg the saloons have been oblighd to import their beer and the largest part of their liquors from Lower Austria, and in locali- ties where this was not done with promp- ness the people have abstained altogether from dringing beer or liquor and have re- sorted to wine, which can be obtained just ascheap and in very fair quality almost anywhers in Austria. The boycott is by no means reduced to gas, beer ana liquor, as sugar refineries, mustard jactories and many other food producing or manufacturing enterprises are involved. As far ascan beascertained the demands of the people appear fully justified, and the unanimous proceedings against exorbitant charges and voor quality have been beneficial. SALVADOK ANXIOUS TO EXPLAIN. But the Fact Remains That Revolu- tionists /nvadsd Guatemala From the Borders. NEW YORK Y., Oct. 15.—A special from San Jose, Guniemala, says: Since the invasion of Guatemula by the rebel leader, Leon Castillo, from Salvadorean territory, who now seriously menaces the Barrios regime, several sharp nctes and messages have been exchanged between the governments. Salvador claims that despite her utmost vigilance along the border she could not prevent the invasion of Guatemala. On the other hand, Guatemala charges that Saivador is lending, if not material aid, silent consent to the rebellion. Itis a noteworthy fact that a large number of Salvadoreans accompanied General Cas- tillo. Salvador is anxious to give ample ex- planations to Guatemala and has sent General Rafael Reyes as special envoy to Guatemala. General Reyes arrived here this morning and started for the capital a few hours later. Informal news was received here last night that General Salvador Toledo, Presi- dent Barrios’ chiet of staff, haa been wounded and taken prisoner by the revo- lutionists. Two thousand men under Colonel Sanchez arrived at Escuintla yes- terday. They will be sent east. The Britisu flagship Imperieuse is expected to raturn here to-morrow. = SOCIETY WOMAN'S SUICIDE. Hopelessly 1ll and Saw Ao Way to Relieve Her Kisery but in Death. NEWPORT, R. L, Oct. 15.—The funeral of Mrs. Atherton Biight, a well-known so- ciety woman, took place to-day from Trinity Church. This afternoon the at- tending physician filed with the Beard of Health a certificate of death, which sets forth that Mrs. Blight met her death from a pistol shot, self-inflicted. The act was apparently done in a moment of insanity over hopeless iliness. —_—— Grand Chnpier, Koyal Arch Masons.

NEW TO-DAY. “THE ACADEMIE DE MEDECINE OF FRANCE HAS PLACED Apollinaris (“THE QUEEN OF AT THE HEAD OF TABLE WATERS™) ALL THE WATERS EXAMINED FOR PURITY AND FREEDOM FROM DISEASE GERMS.” BEWARE OF SUBSTITUTIO’NS. Increased Grain Tariff From Chicago to the Seaboard. But Among Western Rcads There Is Yet Considerable Slashing. Now There Are Rumors of Strife Between the Canadian and Northern Pacific Lines. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. CHICAGO, 1LL., Oct. 15.—All rail rates from Cnicago to the Atlantic seaboard on grain and grain products have been ad- vanced 214 cents. It was the intention of the Essiern roads to advance the lake and rail rates also, but the Soo line refusea to participate in the advance, ana therefore the 1ake and rail rates will remain as they are until the close of navigation. Although it is only a few days since the executive officers of the Western roads announced that hereafter there wouid no more excessive commissions paid \ the territory of the Western Passenger Association, it is reported that the situa- tion is already as bad as before the ex- ecutive officers beld their meetine. It is said excessive commissions are being paid in all directions, and especially between St. Paul and Minneapolis and Chicago. The roads whichare members of the as- sociation say that they have been come pelled to pay the commissions by the action of the outside lines, but these lines deny it and say that the association roads are themselves responsible ior all the de- moraliz stion. Rumors wera current to-day of a warin eastbound ireight rates between the Cana- dian Pacific and the Northern Pacific. It was said that tbe Canadian Pacific had made deep inroads into thesalmon trade of the Northern Pacific by reducing rates from the Pacific Coast to St. Paul and Min- neapolis, and that the fight had extended to other classes of freight. The reductions in some cases are said to have been five cents per 100 pounds. It is likely that the executive officers of the Western roads will call a meeting witbin a lew duys for the purpose of see- ing if something cannot be done in the way of keeping up the freight tariffs. The demoralization among the Western rords has reached a point that, in their opinion, calls for prompt action, and a serious loss in revenue is expected if the roeds do not get together inside of the next week or ten days. All interested lines have announced their intention of meeting the rates on first and second class freight made yesterday by the Atchie <on road.
