O BAILWAY M | Divigion of Great Northern and Union Pacific Traffic Arranged. | | | | . OMAHA, Neb.,, Nov. 14.—The report of the result of the conference of the Great Northern and Union Pacific officials at St. Paul last week is denied at the Union Pacific headquarters to-day. It was re- ported at the time that the Union Pacific and the Great Northern had made a close tie-up from St. Paul by way of the newly acquired Wilmar and Northern line of the Great Northern into Sioux City, thence | over the Omaha to the Union Pacific, | | either down to Omaha or to the nearest meeting point, at Norfolk. The facts, equally important, have been given out here. On the north Pacific Coast the Great Northerrn gets into_the | whole country north of the Columbia Ri | er. On the other hand, the Oregon Rail- { way and Navigation Company, now a Union Pacific line, gets into the country sputh -of - the~Columbla, with an equal |.amount of mileage and energy. It is now | proposed to make a close traffic agree- ment between the two lines from Spokane west, thus giving the Union Pacific ac- cess 10 almost the whole State of Wash- lington-on as good terms for the pur-oses desired as the ‘Great Northern, while in | return jt gives an equal privilege to the | Great Northern in Oregon. | = This was the proposition discussed ana | | informally agreed upon. It is now await- ing confirmation. SUICIDES IN THE ARMY ! ON THE - DECREASE filnt&e-flng Statistics Prepared by | Surgeon-General Sternberg and Comparisons Made. WASHINGTON, Nov.-14.—Surgeon Gen- eral Sternberg has prepared . statistics making a-comparison of cases of suicides and homicides. which occurred in the army during the years 1898 and 18%,-com- pared with the ten years between 1888 and 1897. It shows thai there were relatively fewer homicides during these two ‘years | than- during _the* previous decade.’ = The average number of suicides per,year in an army of 27,116 for the ten vears was 17. e ratio 1000 was .63 per cent. The st h of the army in 1898 is given at 147,79, the average number of sucides 38 and ~ the Jemnu(e per 1000 .28. The strength the army in 18% is given at 105,646 and the number of suicides at 30, retio per 1000 .28 per cent. During the ten years from 1888 to 1897 the homicides are given at 5.5 per cent and the ratio per 1000 .20 per cent. For 1898 the number of homicides is 19 and the ratio per 1000 .13 per cent; for1889the num- ber of homicides is 23 and the ratio per 1000 .22 per cent. MYERS' WOUND WAS CAUSED BY A SPEAR| | Evidence of Close Quarters at Which American Commander at Peking | Was Engaged. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14—Rear Admiral Van Reypen, surgeon general of the navy, has recelved a report concerning the wounding of Captain Myers, the rankin, arine Stger At Peling.” The wouns | | proves to have been most novel, being made by a Chinese spear, and is one of | the few wounds from such a weapon that American 'urfeonl have been called upon to treat. It also evidences the close quar- ters at which the American commander at Peking was engaged with the Chinese | spearmen. The wound has healed tosomne | extent and Captain Myers is convalescent, | although it has been deemed advisable to | remove him to the naval hospital at Yo- kohama. Population of Ohio. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—The popula- tion of the State of Ohio as officially ‘an- nounced to-day is 4,157,544, against 3,672,316 in 18%0.

He urged opposition to the ship subsidy bill, and spoke of the growth of industrial combination ‘“‘until the entire country is justly alarmed.” He urged an amendment to the constitution, clear and expressive in its terms, empowering Con- gress with the right and authority to reg- ulate corporations. The interstate com- merce law, the grand master argued, should be amended so that all sections of the country could secure fair and equi- table freight rates.

PORT TOWNSEND, Nov. 14. — The steamship Topeka, after a tempestuous veyage from Alaska, arrived this even- ing, two days late, bringing 150 ‘passen- gers, most of whom were from the west coast of Alaska. When boarded by United States quarantine officers M. H. Foster, a_steerage passenger, showed symptoms of emallpox and the vessel will be de- tained in the stream until to-morrow, Seventy-eight first-class passengers who had not come in contact with the suspect were transferred to the steamer Prosper and allowed to continue to Seattle.

Tweed Will _Get the Place, General Superintendent ,F. H. Mc- Guigan to Succeed Hays as Gen- eral Manager of the Grand Trunk. iRl NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—For some unex- plained reason the meeting of the Pacific Malil directors, which was scheduled for to-day, was again postponed, this time in- definitely. It was expected that at this meeting Charles H. Tweed, vice president of the Southern Pacific, would be elected president of the Pacific Mail Company. Although E. Z. Harriman is likely to re- main a director of the company, the other members of the board will shortly tender their resignations. It was rumored at the Waldorf-Astorfa to-night that Henry Hartz's resignation had been asked for and that the resignations of two other directors are in the hands of the manage- ment. The latest story in connection with the Pacific Mail is that the Occidental and Oriental and the Japanese steamship com- panies are to have some sort of a work- ing agreement, and it is also reported that the Union Pacific will have an interest with the Southern Pacific in the Pacific Mail. Both these stories were denied. The latter is altogether unlikely in view of the prompt way in which the Speyer interests frustrated the plan of the Harriman syn- dicate to get control of the steamship company. The Bvening Post to-day reports that the executives of the Grand Trunk Rail- way are likely to soon formally announce the selection of General Superintendent F. H. MeGuigan as general manager of the Grand Trunk. He has been the chief sub- ordinate of Mr. Hays In the operating de- partment during the latter's administra- tion of the Grand Trunk and was_for- merly on the Wabash, when Mr. Hays was gerteral * manager of that road, and went to the Grand Trunk a month after his chief had enterd the service of that company.

Vice Chancellor Stevens of Newark, N.'J., will on November 21 hear an action in chancery involving title to contracts valued at over $600,000, which has been in- stituted by the International Emery and Corundum Company, The company has applied to the court for an order directing the National Abrosive Company to assign to it the contracts fn question. The suit is brought In New Jersey because both are ‘organized under its laws. The con- tracts, it is claimed, were originally cured from the Turkish Government by William F. and Alton H. Kimball of Tif. fin, Ohio. . The International Company ob- tained an option on an assignment of them. This option, the present defendant claims, expired through failure of the complaining company allowing the option to lapse. Californians in New York.

P e 51 Officer Grapples With the Intruder and Aftera Desperate Encounter Succeeds in Handcuff- ing Him. ——o— o Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Nov.:M.—Police Officer David Campbell had a desperate encoun- ter with a burglar who entered his home at 381 Market street about 4 o’clock this morning. The officer, who is on the day watch, was aroused by a noise in the rear of the house. He started to Investigate, and discovered a man ransacking some bureau drawers. Campbell seized him, and a terrific struggle ensued. The burglar struck at Campbell, who parried the blow, and knocked the fellow down with the butt of his revolyer. A rough and tumble fight followed, the com- batants traveling irom one end of the house to the other. Campbell, who had bold of the burgiar, stumbled over a piece of furniture, and the fellow shook him- self free and made a dash for the fromt door. The officer was wfter him in a minute and grabbed him as he went through the door. The men then fought out to the sidewalk, where Campbell finally downed his man’ with blows with his_revoiver. Mrs. Campbell then threw her husband’s handcuffs to him from a second story Wwindow. He handcuffed the thief to a tree and went into the house to change his night dress, which had been torn to shreds, for his day clothes. The man was finally taken to the police station. The burglar has been identified as H. C. Raymond. who feigning insanity escaped a penitentiary sentence a year 280 after he had robbed the office of Dr. La Spada. He presented a ghastly ap- arance this morning. His head and ace were a mass of cuts and bruises, his left jaw was swollen out of all proj and great clots of blood were in his Raymond has been arrested {n seves California cities and is an ex-convict. ‘Whenever arrested he pretends to be in- sane, but the local police declare he is not demented MINE EMPLOYES MAY BECOME STOCKHOLDERS Plan Inaugurated by the Pittsburg Coal Company for the Benefit of Workingmen.

NEVER T00 LATE To Try a Ooc;d Thing. I am fifty-two years old, and for forty years of that time I have been a chronic catarrh sufferer, says Mr. James Gleshing of Allegheny City; with every change of weather my head and throat would be stuffed up with catarrhal mucus. I could not breathe naturally through the nostrils for months together and much suffered from catarrh of the Finally my hearing began to ;ail and I realized something must be one. I tried inhalers and sprays and salves which gave me temporary relief, and my physician advised me to spray or douche with Peroxide of Hydrogen. But the ca- tarrh would speedily return In a few days, and I became thoroughly discouraged. I had always been prejudiced against . | patent medicines, but as everything else had failed I feit justified In at least mak- DES N i G o - r g0 amily physiclan, Dr. Ramsdell, jaughed at ms a e, poi said if T was determined to try patent med'- cines he would advise me to begin with Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because he knew what they contained and he had heard of several remarkable cures result- ing from their use, and, furthermore, that they were perfectly safe, containing no cogaine or oplates. The next day I bought a fifty-cent box at a drug store, carried it in my pocket and four or five times a day I would take a tablet. In less than a week I felt a marked improvement, which continued until at this time I am entirely free from any trace of catarrh. My head is clear, my throat free from irritation, my hearing is as good as it ever was and I feel that I cannot say ¢nough in praise of Stuart's Catarrh Tab- ets. These tablets contain extract of Euca- lyptus bark, Gualacol, bleod root and other valuable antiseptics combined in pleasant tablet form, and it is safe to say that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are far su- rior in convenlence, safety and effec- a.vennl to the antl nalehd treatment by inhalers, sprays and douches. They u.’ sold by druggists everywhere in the United States and Canada. wisir DR. JORDAN’S sacar MUSEUM OF ANATOMY 1051 NAREET 5% et G3AT, 5.7.0s, g oy OR. JORDAN—PRIVATE Lonwulration 1 [
