LONGSTREET SO REPORTS NO REASON WHY UNION AND CENTRAL CANNOT SETTLE. In His Annual Report the Commis- sioner Recommends Construction of a Government Road rrom Kansas to San Diego. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—General James Longstreet, the Commissioner of | Rallroads, in his annual report, made | public to-day, calls attention to the general prosperity in railroad affairs, and recommends the Government con- struction and operation of a first-class double-track raillway from Xansas City, Mo., to San Diego, Cal.,, by air- line route. He says the physical condi- tion of our railroads generally is better than ever before. He points to the spectacle of roads which only two or three years ago were in recelvers’ hands now paying dividends on their preferred stocks and piling up sur- pluses whic' ‘n the course of a very short time, his report says, will be dis- tributed among the common stockhold- ers. Many roads which, in 1893, were forced to cut salaries 20 per cent, he says, have voluntarily restored the old basis of wages. In April, 1894, receiv- ers controlled in this country 210 roads, embracing about 20 per cent of the total mileage. On June 30 of this year there were only 119 railroads in the hands of receivers, and General Longstreet pre- dicts that under the present condition of prosperity within another year the list of insolvent railroads will be as small as in the years immediately pre- ceding 1892. Reporting on his inspection of the properties of the Union Pacific and Cen- tral Pacific and several of the land- grant lines in the West and on the Pa- cific Slope, this autumn, the Commis- sloner says that substantial improve- ments have been made on the road beds on the main lines, wooden bridges replaced by iron and steel and the bal- lasting is more extensive and much im- proved. He recommends a Government air line transcontinental route in the following language: The annexation of the Hawalian Isl- ands, the possible, probable control of the Philippine and Ladrone Islands, must open up new trade relations of such growing proportions with them as to so materially increase the business of all the bond-aided roads as to be well within the scope of reason to anticipate their ability, at an early date, to pay principal and {nterest of their debt to the United States. These new_ eastern acquisitions, with Cuba and Porto Rico, producing trop- ical products, our annual demand for whic! is to the extent of $22,000,000, about one-third of our entire imports will in a few years be entirely furnished from these new possessions, and our products taken in exchange, while now our ex- f isiands, 1 believe, do not xceed $15,000,000 annually. Heretofore, under former sway, every effort has been made to discourage busi- ness intercourse with Americans. Under the new order of things in these islands every effort will be made to encourage trade with us, and when the population doubled in numbers and is increased ten times in ability to produce and con- sume, which s not an unreasonable an- ticipation, what then will our_ trade amount to? It is almost impossible to imagine. Less than 5,000,000 British colonists in" Australasia exchange prod- ucts to the amount of $630,000,000 annually. it is only reasonable to suppose that in a few years the trade with our new pos- sessions will fully equal if not surpass this, and the United States must control of wheat and other cefeals which now grain prairies to Asia and other countries of the Western Hemisphere via the At- lantic seaports will, in a very few years, reach these same destinations via Paci- fie seaports, and with this changed con- dition will ‘come vastly increased ton- nage and revenues to all the transconti- nental lines. Che diversion of this very traffic o this idea is now recelving the careful ar: tention and consideration of the execu- tive and managing officials of some of the leading lines between Chicago, St. Paul and other Middle Western grain centers and the Pacific slope, and therefore it seems to me that the interest the United States has in bond-aided railroads, and especially in the Central Pacific, Should not be “scaled,” but that we have every reason to look for repayment of dollar for ggl‘!:;,cep;l;clp‘a\l and interest, loaned and 'y the Governm !hlese COI’D:!‘XLUODS. s o t may be timely just now to su that the Government comstruct ang em. erate a first-class double-track railroad from Kansas City to San Diego by air- line route. This ‘will open the shortest line, measured by the map, from Boston, New York and Philadelphia to the coast and along the coal flelds of the East and West, this side of the Rocky Mountains, and making the most direct iine from our great commercial centers to the Sandwich Islands and the Philippines.

As trade increases it may de- velop the importance of a direct similar line to Seattle, Wash. St. Louis is_a little south of the direct line between New York to San Diego, but the topographical features of the country indicate that possibly a better route may be found from that point, and the bridge over the Mississippi River at that point may prove an important consideration. A survey, therefore, by direct line should be made from each of these points. The report says of the United States subsidy bonds under theactsof 1862 and 1864 to aid the Pacific railroads’ con- struction, there have matured $50,618,- 592, of which $50,489,952 have been re- deemed and paid out of the treasury, leaving still due and unpaid $129,000. The remaining bonds of this issue fall due as follows: Union Pacifie, January MARTIAL LAW AT PANA. Commanding Officer to Take Posses- sion of All Arms. SPRINGFIELD, I, Nov. 21L—Gov- ernor Tanner to-night issued a proclama- tion placing Pana under martial law.

DUTIES WINE MODIFIED FASHODA AFFAIR INSTRUMEN- TAL IN THE ARRANGEMENT. Secret Negotiations During William’s Absence From Germany That May Affect European Alliances. Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Nov. 21.—It was quite unex- pectedly announced this afternoon that a ‘commercial treaty has been con- cluded between France and Italy, granting mutually favored treatment except for silk goods, which will re- main subject to the maximum tax. A bill embodying the agreement will be submitted immediately to the Chamber of Deputies. The Government also introduced a bill in the Chamber to-day modifying the wine duties favorably to Italy. The negotiations that have culmi- nated in these arrangements have been on foot for two years, but nobody be- lieved that a definite agreement was pending. It is believed that the Fashoda affair was instrumental in inducing France to grant the necessary concessions, though it is noteworthy that the silk duties, which caused the breaking of the treaty in 1887, remain almost un- changed, The negotiations have been conducted with the utmost secrecy. The effect of the concessions involved is not yet known, but it is expected that they will have an important pclitical influ- ence for the removal of a long-stand- ing friction between the two countries. The treaty, it is noticed, was con- cluded during the absence of Emperor William from Germany, and there is much speculation regarding its prob- able results upon the European alli- ances. ALARMING GROWTH OF SALVADOR'S REVOLT May Involve All Five Central Ameri- can States in a General Conflagration. Epecial Cable to The Call and the New York Herald, Copyrighted. 189, hy James Gor- don Bennett. PANAMA, Nov. 21L.—Late advices from Salvador via Nicaragua indicate that the revolt is more serious than first thought. It may involve all five States in a gen- eral conflagration. According to advices, the real object of the movement is the overthrow of the Federal republic, which was organized November 1 at Amapala. To accomplish this Regaldos called in the ald of Guatemala and Costa Rica, who always viewed the union of Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras as a constant menace to their sovereignty. The Herald's_correspondent says the rebels are now in possession of all the de- partments with the exception of La Union and San Miguel, the latter the sironghold of Horacio Villavicenico, who is a can- didate in_opposition to 'Regaldos. The Federal Government is hurriedly ~mobil- izing its forces to march against Regal- | dos. Honduras sends 4000, Nicaragua 4000 and the Federal district of Salvador 2000. | The movement is bac¢ked by capitalists who are well-known military men. Cable censorship has been established at La Libertad. e o LOOKING FOR HEIRS OF VESTA HASTINGS State Department Inquiring for the Legal Representatives of the Dead Californian. HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 21.—The State Department at Washington advertised in Harrisburg Saturday for information as to the legal representative of Vesta Hast- ings, who died Countess d'Henriot in Paris on October 30 last. that property awaits her heirs. It developed to-day that Vesta Hastings was Bonnle Riley . to her friends. She came here in 1873 as a stu- dent in Miss Woodward’'s seminary. Her father is a Californain. Leaving here she went to Washington and then returned to her home in Califcrnia. A few years later a story floated hither from New York, in which Vesta Hastings was the central figure in an apartment house sen- sation, the man with whom she had been living causing the trouble. went to Paris. Two years ago she visited this country and called on old friends, whom she told of her marriage to Count d'Henriot. MEXICO GIVES UP CONDUCTOR TEMPLE And Now He Will Be Tried in Ari- zona on the Murder Charge Against Him. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21L.—The case of the American railroad conductor who has béen held under arrest in Mexico for kill- ing a man on this side of the line has been satisfactorily adjusted. United Btates Minister Clayton has reported to the State Department by telegraph that the Mexican Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senor Mariscal, had agreed to stop further proceedings against Temple under the Mexican law and surrender the man to the Arizona authorities on extradition proceedings on Mr. Clayton's statement that he would be tried in Arizena. The United States Government had previously demanded Temple's release before the de- mand was made for his extradition in or- der to avoid recognizing the Mexican claim of extra territorial jurisdiction, and the present outcome is satisfactory in that regard. SR S A HUNTER'S CINGULAR FATE. Bullet Intended for a Coon Proves a Boomerang. MILTON, Cal., Nov. 2l.—Florian Far- num, a well known resident of Copperop- olis, was killed on Sunday afternoon near that place under peculiar circumstances. A party of young men were out hunting wild hogs, when Farnum saw a coon and discharged his rifle at it without effect. Laying aside his rifle he drew his pistol, and, climbing on to a large rock, fired again at the coon. In some way the bul- let struck another rock, and in the recoil traversed nearly the same course first taken and buried itself in Farnum’s ab- domen. After being shot he descended from the rock and walked a few steps up the hill, at the same time telling one of his companions that he was shot, and then sank to the ground. He was remov- ed in a wagon to his home, and expired on arriving there. Farnum was 26 years of age, married and had one child. DECLARES HE IS SANE.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 21.—The first general snowstorm of the winter has pre- vailed throughout the Northwest during the past twenty-four hours and is still continuing without much abatement. The snow has been accompanied by a high wind. Dispatches from various parts of North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Northern Iowa report local business impeded. The weather observer here pre- dicts that the storm will continue to- night and to-morrow and will be followed by a cold wave. Battieford and Calgary, in the British Northwest, report temperatures of 24 and 26 degrees below zero, and other places say zero weather is prevalling. Locally the storm has veen quite severe, causing delay to streetcar traffic. The mercury is rapidly falling, and the Weather Ub- server believes it will go to 10 or 15 de- grees below zero to-morrow. Railroads centering here report trains moving with but little delay. The storm was especially severs on Lake Superior, Duluth reporting a Sev- enty-mile gale. A Duluth special says a report is €urrent there that the steamer Hiram R. Dixon of the Booth Packing Company's line has foundered. The Dix- on left Duluth this morning, and the last heard of her she had passed Two Har- bors. KANSAS CITY, Nov. 2L—A severe storm prevails throughout Western and Northern Missourl and the State of Kans: Very mild weather on Sun- day followed by rain, which turned into sleet early this morning, with an un- usually sudden fall in temperature, and the sleet has been followed by snow, Which is being driven before a strong wind from the northwest. At many points in the two States the mercury has fallen from 50 to 60 degrees in twenty-four | hours. Reports received to-night indi- cate an average temperature of 10 to 15 degrees above zero, but the indications are for colder weather. The storm and sleet prostrated telegraph wires in all directions. The drifting snow has impeded railway traffic, but there has been no serious blockade. Atchison re- ports that two trains are snowbound in Kansas on the central branch of the Mis- souri Pacific. In Kansas City, Kans., two lines of elec- tric street railway have been forced to suspend operations. At Leavenworth electric wires are down all over the city, and the authori- ties ordered the electric railroad to cease operations, owing to the danger from stray eleciric currents. Secretary Colborn of the Kansas Board | of Agricuiture is authority for the state- ment that while the storm will cause suf- fering among the cattle on the ranges there will be no loss from freezing un- less the storm becomes much more se- vere. DENISON, Tex., Nov. 21..—This city was visited to-day by the most disastrous storm of vears. The wind blew a hurri- | cane, unroofing houses, uprooting trees and leveling telegraph poles. There was considerable damage to property. A del- uge of rain and sleet accompanied the storm. | NEW HAVEN BELLE AND A YALE MAN MISSING Detectives Eearching 1or a Pretty Girl and the Son of a West- ern Millionaire.

S SPANISH GUNBOATS SHELL SORSOGON But When the Insurgents Show Fight the Vessels Hastily * Retreat. MANILA, Nov. 21.—Passengers who ar- rived here to-day on the steamer Ade- lante report that two Spanish gunboats recently visited Sorsogon and fired three shells into the town, claiming that the insurgents there had refused to lower their flag when ordered to do so. On the | insurgents showing fight, it is added, the gunboats left hurriedly.” The shells’ did little damacge. Sergeant Price of the Minnesota regi- ment, who was stabbed by disorderly Filipinos on Friday night and who was reported to have been killed, is still alive. = | DR. BENNETT PLEADS POVERTY. But the San Joée‘rDéhhst Must Pay Alimony. SAN JOSE, Nov. 21.—Dr. A. G. Bennett, | i t s arey i | | | | cles, was before Judge Hyland this after- | noon on an order to show cause why he ghould not pay his wife alimony pending the result of the suit for divorce filed by her. Mrs. Dora Cambers Bennett did not appear, but her attorney showed by affidavit that her husband was able to pay alimony. Dr. Bennett showed that his pathway had not been strewn with roses since his marriage, and that his income has di- minished. He testified that before his marriage his income had been from to $200 per month, but since he took unto himself the responsibility of caring for a better half his dental practice had stead- ily decreased. At present it amounted to not more than $65 per month, which was not sufficlent to pay expenses and was a clear loss of $30 per month. The court issued an order for Dr. Ben- nett to pay $50 counsel fees, $20 a month alimony _and costs of suit. After four short months of married life the sepafation of the couple came as sud- denly as their marriage, which savored of an elopement. The ground on which a divorce is asked is cruelty.

Ayres, last night on Ryan’s slough hill, three miles from this city, who was re- turning from Bayside, and at the point of a pistol demanded his cash. Ragon of- fered no resistance, and the road agents relieved him of $3 75, all the money on his person, and ordered him to drive on.

NOISY RUSTLE THE CAUSE MINISTERS INDORSE THE WAR AGAINST THE GARMENTS. Theatrical Managers Also Glad That the Nerve-Rackers Are Doomed and Approve the Movement. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Nov. 21.—The silk skirt, the rustle of which is so dear to the heart of the wearer, must go, and its rustle is the cause of it. An item ap- peared in the morning papers setting forth the fact that the Women’s Club of Atlanta had declared war on the dainty garment because its “swish, swish,” as the wearer walked down the aisle of the lecture hall or church worked disaster to the nerves of the male and non-silk-skirt wearing mem- bers of the audience or congregation. It came to the notice of many minis- ters who attended the regular Monday meeting of the Ministers’ Association, and in the course of proceedings it was | taken up for discussion. While treated in a jocular sense by many of the di- vines present it was unanimously voted that there was no agency more potent to disturb divine service than the rus- tling silk skirts of late coming women, who, sailing toward a seat, distracted the attention of all present, whether they were praying, singing or listening to a sermon, and the action of the At- lanta women was heartily indorsed. A round among theatrical managers found them even more opposed to the nerve-racking garment than were the preachers. Milward Adams, manager of the Auditorium, where Grau’s song- birds now hold fcrth nightly, was par- ticularly outspoken. “It is an outrage,” he said, “for la- dies to array themselves in garments that on the slightest movement of the wearer produce a sound like that of a wind machine used on the stage in mel- odrama. It is quite fashionable for la- dies to come to the opera late, and hundreds of them are usually being shown to seats at once during the over- ture. The resuit is the piano passages are completely drowned out, and real music lovers lose their tempers and much of what they paid money to hear. Away with silk skirts if that is the cause of the trouble.” Managers Davis of the Columbpia, Powers of the Powers and Litt of Mc- Vicker's agreed with Adams, but could see no way to rid the theater-going public of the nuisance complained of. All hoped, however, if attention was called to it the ladies themselves would | do the right thing, as they had with the big-hat nuisance. | At the Woman's Club the silk petti- coat was characterized by a prominent | member of the board of directors as a nuisance. “You would agree with me,” said she, “if you were to attend | one of our meetings. Ycu can hardly | hear what is going on for the noise of | rustling skirts. However, we do not| contemplate any movement toward | abolishing the silk petticoat habit. The | ‘Woman’s Club has never taken a stand | for or against dress reform, except in | regard to the hat. We have done away | with the big hat at the opera, and at | our meetings, but I am sorry to say the | society skirt is still in evidence, and I | see no hope of abolishing it.” TO PREVENT THE { RE-ELECTION OF GOMPERS An Important Caucus of Members of the Federation of Labor to Be Held. CHICAGO, Nov. 21.—A caucus having for it5 object the prevention of the re-election of Samuel Gompers as President of the American Federation of Labor and se- curing the adoption of a Socialist platform by the coming convention at Kansas City will be held in Chicago December 12. The prime movers in the calling of the caucus are the ultra radical and socialistic lead- ers In the federation, assisted by those who_consider they have been ignored by the federation’s present administration. The only two 'men prominently men- tloned among the ranks of the opposition for the presidency are Douglas Wilson, editor of the official journal of the In- ternational Assoclation of Machinists, and Harry Lloyd, ex-president of the Brother- hood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. As James O’Connell, third vice president of the federation, Is a ma- chinist as well as Wilson, and as two from the same trade are never elected officers of the federation at the same time, Wilson’s friends are saying that O’Connell s not a good socialist and should, therefore, not be re-elected, and consequently are laying plans to take his scalp. e STAR POINTER GOES UNDER THE HAMMER The Peerless Pacer Brings $19,000 at Auction in Madison Square Garden.
