Representatives of Both Sides Are Uncommunieative, but It Is Plain Developments Are Hourly Expected. S P S TOPEKA, Dec. 15.—Opinions concern- Ing the telegraphe strike have mate- rially changed to-day. Instead of the in- difference which has been manifested: by some of the railroad offictals during the past few days a disposition to be con stantly on the alert has shown itself. The officials of the Santa Fe have at last become convinced that means something. The cause of this is the unrest prevalent among the engineers, | conductors and brakemen. It is regarded as almost a certainty that some ot these workers will go on a sympathetic strike within two days unless the differences between the company and the operators are speedily adjusted. The resolution of tne trainmen in tak- ing this step is not thought v compre- hend so much sympathy tor the operators as it does their own inter . Said a prominent engineer to-day: “if we suffer this thing to go by un- questioned, the right of the company to do as it pleases will be permanently es- tablished and in spite of anything we can do the rights and privileges of organized labor will be hopelessly lost. It is the principle we are striving for, and come what may, the principle must and will be | maintained that organized labor must and will be maintained—that labor must have its rights.” As far as can be learned there have not been any conferences held between the telegraphers and the representatives of the trainmen’s organizations. There = apout all the transac- which makes it amount to a practical certainty that there will be something done within a short time. President Dolphin looked very wise when asked by a press correspondent to- night what was in the wind. “Well, just wait a little while,” he re- plied. “We will have something to spring soon that will ‘curl your hair,’ so to speak. What is it? 11, I cannot give that out to-night. However, you may say this with confidence: The telegraphers never felt so good at any time during the pro- gress of the strike as they do right now, We recognized from the start that we had a hard fight, and we did not go into It unadvisedly and without a knowledge of what we could expect in the way of sup- | | port from the other organizations. | around to-morrow and I think I will have Come something to tell you that will make the people unanimously of the opinion that there is something in the strike." The Santa Fe officials deny that there have been any representations made to them by the officers of the trainmen’s or- ganizations According to the best information that ecan be received, however, representations will be made to the officers of the road Monday morning and they will be In- formed that the best thing they can do will be to adjust things with the oper- ators CALIFORNIA SAFE DEPOSIT COMPANY One of the Best-Known Trust Cor- porations of the Pacific Coast. The California Safe Deposit and Trust Company occupies a conspleuous position among the financial Institutions of Cali- fornia.

THE LITTLE SICKNESSES ‘Which Grow Into Big Omes. { A little cold in the head is a trifle, but if negiected and It hangs on from week to week and gets Into the throat and lungs it is no longer a trifle. It is then no longer a slight cold but the beginning of chronic | catarrh. Do not make the mistake of thinking you | have no catarrh because the head an nose appear to be clear. If there is cough, | tickling in the throat, hoarseness or a | sense of oppression in {he chest you have | throat and bronchial catarrh. If the ap- petite Is poor, nausea, gagging and dis- gust_for food, especlally in the morning, | you have catarrh of the stomach. gy The surest and safest treatment for | every form of catarrh is an internal rem- edy which acts especially on the Blood | and mucous membranes. Such a remedy is the new catarrh cure, sold everywhere by druggists under name | of Stuart's Catarrh Table medicine in pleasant, convenient tablet form and con- tairing all the best and latest specifics for | catarrh, whether located in nose, throat | bronchial tubes or stomach. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets ‘are composed | of Sanguinaria, gualacol, Red gum and ! similar antiseptics which destroy the | germs of catarrh in the blood, and no one | Who suffers from any form of catarrh and has seen the uselessness of sprays, douches, an@ powders will ever go back i to them after once trying so convenicnt, pleasant and harmless a remedy as Stuart's Catarrh tablets and one which gives relfef in so short a time. Even in ¢ where catarrh has af- fected the of smell and hearing, these tablets accomplish a cure because the blood being cleansed of catarrhal germs, the mucous surfaces of the nose and throat no .onger clog up the respira- tory passages with catarrhal secretions. All drugglsts sell full sized treatments of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for the nominal price of 50 cents, and the regular daily use of them will effectually cure this trouble- some and dangerous disease. | A Financial Institution of Recognized | Strength and Stability. | When the history of banking in San Franclsco comes to be written, the story ! of the foundation and future growth of | | the Bank of California will be among its most conspicuous features. Recognized as one of the soundest financial institutions in the world, the bank still occuples the | quarters at California and Sansome | streets in the bullding erected for it by its founders years ago. In this location the bank has experienced the vicissitudes that confront every human endeavor and each in turn was vanquished by its wise and fearless conductors, so that to-day it | is stronger than ever before in its financial career. | The Bank of California was incorporated in April, 1864, by D. O. Mills and William | | C. ‘Raiston. ' The capital stock at that time was fixed at $3,000,000, but two years iater this was increased to $5,000,000. In 1881, however, certain unfavorable legis. iation affecting banks prompted the reduc- | tion of the increased capital stock to be | reduced to the original figure, at which it stands to-da 1 The roman of the history of the bank | is colncident with that of the Comstock. In those days of unparalieled activity in Comstock stocks, local banks did not hes- | itate to advance as high as $600 on shares of that stock. The reaction which inev- itably succeeds periods of inflation set In, and the result was the suspension of the bank in 1§78. Mr. Ralston's death under pathetic circumstances followed, but forty | days after closing its doors the Bank of California had redeemed itself in public confidence by paying its obligations doilar for_dollar. This great result was accomplished through the sagacity and skill of Presi- dent D. O. Mills and his coynselors on the | board of directors. In April, 1878, he re- signed his office in favor of Willlam Al- | vord, a financier of note, who has since | that time ably conducted’ the multitudin- ous affairs of the institution. President Alvord, whose conservatism | has won for him the esteem of all con- | | nected with the bank, has an able coad- | i jutor In Thomas dBrown, the veteran cash- | ier, whose connection with the bank dates back to October, 1870.

( VANCOUVER, Dec. 15.—The coming of several new companies Into the coast| | steamship traffic between Fuget Bound} | and British Columbia ports and Alaska | | threatens to make rates take a tumble | | early In the spring. Steamboat men say | that with the competition now in prospect | rates probablv will be cut in half. ur- | ing the past two vears the Alaska Steam- poassociation ‘has pretty fully = con- | trolled rates, but this organization is now { dormant and company managers claim | that no effort will be made to effect any | definite amalgamation of traffic the com- ing season. | The Pacific Steamship Company has | contented itself with running the Cottage | City and smaller boats on the Ekl? y | run, and the announcement that the Sen- | ator and two or three other large ves- sels will be put on has been received with much concern by local owners. Dodwell & Co. have commenced operating the Vic- torian and the City of Seattle and will put on two more boats. A Vancouver company will operate under civic sub- sidy two large steamers being negotiated for on the Atlantic, while the smaller | companies are increasing thelr capacities | for business. The probability is that by! May 1 the first class rate of $30 to Skag- uay will have been cut one-half. —_— DENOUNCES CLAIMANT OF THE EKASSON mLTEi Mary E.
