Within- few days , unless some word is received from Mr. Harrlman the attorney general will announce the Intention of the department of jus tlce to fllo a suit to compel the dls solution of the close relations now ex Istlng between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. It may be two or three weeks be fore the suit actually Is brought , owing to the absence In Europe at the present ent time of one of the special counse who Is particularly familiar with this case.

The verdict did not contain any reference to the loss of political rights , but ? uch loss In evitably follows , according to the sen ate's Interpretation of the electoral law. BOOTH'S ' 7NTU > SDT BUREAU Says 75 Per Cent of Applicants Were Diverted from Ending Life. London , Jan. , , 2. Twelve months ago General Br 'h of the Salvation Army started anti-suicide bureaus In various cities of the world , and he now has issued a review of the year's work. Altogether 1,125 men and nine ty women sought the assistance of the London bureau to save them from self destruction , while at least an equal number applied at the bureaus In other cities. It appears from the review that the seekers for help be longed mainly to the middle classes More than half of them attributed the desire to end their lives to financial embarrassment or helpless poverty. From the small number of women applicants , General Booth deduces that they are better able to bear up under sorrows and trials than men He thinks It safe to say that 75 per cent of the applicants have been diverted from contemplated sul clde and helped to surmount their dif ficulties. Clergymen , naval and military offi cers , doctors , newspaper men and bakers were among those saved from committing suicide. Suffrage League Calls Meeting. Boston , Jan. 2.

VERDICT IS EVEN AFTER TWEN TY-FIVE ROUNDS IN THE RING. GREAT CROWD SEES THE dOUT Referee Jeffries' Decision Is Unques tioned , Except by Violent Partisans. Both Men Land Shower of Blows In Final Round , Ban Francisco , Jan. 2. Owen Moran - ran , champion featherweight of En- land , made a draw fight of twenty- five rounds with Abe Attell , champion of America , who was thought to bo in vincible. Moron was strong and ag- greeslve , quick as a flash and kept on top of Attell all the time. Attell seemed to lack force in his punches and found It difficult to land a blow ou a vital spot. Moran's eye was black ened and his nose bled , but the pun ishing rips to the stomach and the swings to the jaw were missing. Mo ran's game was to lead with either right or left and then close in. In the clinches he fought viciously , but did not do Attell much harm. The final round was most exciting. Moran seemed to take on a new lease of vigor and , with head down , waded Into Attell , swinging rights and lefts. When the gong rang for the close both men kept on fighting fiercely and big Jim Jeffries had to separate them. His decision of a draw was received with approval , except by violent par tisans. There came near being no fight , ow ing to the fact that Moran was two ounces overweight. Attell did the Shylock act , and had to be paid $250 for the surplus two ounces before he would consent to go on. Between seven and eight thousand people witnessed the contest. Referee Jeffries said after the bout thnt thf > fight was so close that he found it difficult to give a decision In favor of either man. He thought thnt Attell had slightly the better of it on points , but not sufficiently to justify a decision In his favor.
