The Norlhwcstcrn's do fcnso was a general dental of all the charge : nmtlo and a claim that they must fall npoi the Snntn IVn own Knowing. According ti the Rtatcmcnt made by the Santa Fe , thi tickets alleged to have been purchased by It agent at n reduced rate consisted of twi pnrts. Ono of tlieiso parlit wan n card read Ing over the Northwestern from Chicago t ( Omaha , for which the full rate of J 12.50 wai paid , The other \\as a prepaid order , signet by the Union Pacific agent hero and readlnt from Omaha to Los Angeles. With the Rah of that prepaid order the Northwestern ha ( nothing whatever lo do and cannot In an ] sense bo held responsible.

Mr Holly has recently been accused of selling cut rate tickets via the Union Pacific fron Die Missouri river and has been subjected U no end of annoyance from both Hie IHtr- llngton nnd Hock Island through theli testa of the market , Wednesday Mr. Hollj stated he had ( jnlto nn experience In selllnp n ticket to n passenger and an hour latci was called upon by the passenger departmonl of the Hock Island to redeem the ticket which he did. He then went Into n broker's o 111 cu next door and found to his surprise thai the broker had used the Union Pacific ticket regularly , the scalp , however , uliow- Ing Itself In the going portion of a Hocl- Island ticket , which the broker had used , "These .situations are of dully occurrence , " said Mr. Holly. "Tho Union Pacific In variably gets the worst of It from the Chicago cage papers , tlio railroad men on the dallies calling upon Kustls , Sebastian and White , and totally Ignoring our side of the case , probably fearful that they will bo compelled to form a different Impression of the situa tion. " Concerning lioiitner'n Itexolutlon Judge Kelly of the legal department ol the Union Pacific , In speaking of the Boat- ner resolution Introduced Wednesday In con gress , said : "The grievances complained ol In the resolution nra aulto ten years old , and the consolidation "matters referred to have been approved by congress and en dorsed by the supreme court In two or three cases. It would seem that after allowing these things to sleep for ten years , In all that time the authority of congress nnd the supreme court bolng . unquestioned. It ought to bo allowed to rest In peace. No one , however , would pretend to speak Intel ligently on the resolution at' . length until the whole document Is seen , and not having seen that , I must decline to give an opinion about the resolution. " President Clark remarked , when shown the telegram : "It comes pretty late In the day , don't H ? " liars Down for : i I'lght. The truce between the Santa Fo and South ern Pacific Is at an end , President Huntington - ton of the Southern Pacific having given final notice to President Helnhart o.f the Santa Fa yesterday that the latter's proposed basis of settlement could not be ac cepted. Of course this can only result In ono way. Within a day-or.two all further consultations will end and then there will bo a hustle for California business which will put In. the bhade previous efforts' to round up thousands of eastern travelers In California. At Unlo'n Paclllc headquarters peace seemed to reign , Mr. Lomax stating that all the talk about a boycott of the Union Pacific on the part of the Western Passenger association was of llttloinoment to him. "We are en tirely Ignorant of the charges made In re gard to California business , our only effort being to keep up with th'o procession. " Doing Xo Diiniugu. Vice "President A. S. Totter of the Omaha Terminal , company stated to a Bee reporter Wednesday that all the talk now being heard about the Htreet that the channel of the Missouri had changed to such nn extent that it left n sandbar under the draw span of the Bast Omaha bridge was totally unfounded. "I have been out to the bridge In the last day 6r two and found that there was enough water to float any river boat on either sldo of the draws although the river is not very high. All the debris left In the river dur ing the process of construction of the bridge has gene out , , and I feel certain that with the Juno rise there will bo a channel "left on cither sldp of the draw to float any boat passing up or down the river.

About n score of railroad presidents and managers of the Central Tronic association were In session today. The main object was to consider the eastbound rate question.

A light mu latto woman dressed In mourning occuple a seat next to Miss Pollard's lawyer In th circuit court today and looked curiously n Colonel Urccklnrldgo and Miss Pollard n they entered tlio court room. Slio was th first witness called to tlio stand and her ox amlnatlon was conducted l > y Mr. Farrcll , th young Lexington attorney who nssistoi Messrs. Carlisle and Johnson In taking dcpo sltlona In Kentucky. According to the woman's story , she hai been born n slave In Alabama forty-si : years before , had lived In Lexington "scnc during the wall" for twenty-five or twenty six years. Sarah ( Joss , for she1 was th woman over whoso deposition there Wa trouble In Kentucky , had "knowed Kurne Hrecklnrltige sence I was a little girl. " When Mr. Farrell asked If Mr. IJreckln rldgo had over visited her house accom panlcd by any person , Attorney Shelby ob jected that the question should connoc Colonel Urecklnrldge'a companion with tin plaintiff , a point which Judge Uradley sail was well taken. "Do you .know Miss Pollard ? " Inquired tin attorney. " "I do. " "Do you see her here ? " Rising , the colored woman pointed to the plaintiff and resumed her seat. Ten years ago , she continued , Colone Brecklnrldge had begun to visit her house 01 Ilroad street In Lexington with Miss Pollard Before the first visit ho had called on Thurs day In summer tlmo to ask that Miss Pol lard bo kept there from Friday to Monday a request which was at first refused becausi the witness had no room , but was flnallj agreed upon. Friday night , just at dark they came , and Colonel Brecklnrldge was It the front room with Miss Pollard until 1 ] o'clock. Colonel Brecklnrldgo knocked on thi middle door for the woman to let him oul when he was ready to go. "She was In the bed with her night dress on , " said the witness. "lie kissed her am : bid her good night , putting his arm around her. " Saturday night and Sunday night Colonel Drecklnrldgo had repeated his visits , each night kissing Miss Pollard goodby In the presence of the cotpred woman. The bed gave evidence of having been occupied each night. She ( Miss Ijollard ) was In It and It was rumpled up-,4 , , tlje witness explained. Sunday night Colonet'Brecklnridgo had said that Miss Pollard { must , get down to the depot early In thetinvjrnlng to take the first train and the witness had overheard him say that slio was-i'to moot Mr. Rhodes there. I , Mr. Farrell asked the opinion of Sarah Goss as to. the ago'1 of Miss Pollard at the time , a question objodted to by the defense , admitted by the judge , an exception noted and the answer flvflitnsfollows : "Sho had a dress up to the top of her shoes , a school girl dress , and seemed to bo about 17 or 18. Some times she wore her hair down her back In a plait. " , "Had Mlss/iPollardtpver vlslted our h'ouse before that time Wib1 camo'wltli Colonel Dreckinrldge ? " asked the attorney. "No , sir. " "Had Colonel Brpeklnrldge ever visited " II , > ' there beforc4 | | ( This question rmseh a "breeze. Attorney Shelby was on hlsfect _ instantly , objecting' , the spectators leaned 'forward eagerly while Sarah spoke , up olearly : "Yea , sir. " Judge Bradley sustained the objection and the question and t answer were ordered stricken from the record. BRECKINRIDGE HER ONLY VISITOR. Colonel Thompson offered the explanation that the witness said that Colonel Brcckln- rldgo had visited her before to make ar rangements for bringing Miss Pollard there , but nevertheless the audience snickered over the answer. "Did Miss Pollard ever como there with any one but Colonel BrecHlnrldge ? " asked the lawyer. . "No , sir. " was the answer. The pair had visited her house about fifty times. A year ago last" fall Colonel Breck- Inrldgo had como there , asking to bring Miss Pollard again , but the witness refused , loclarlng she was not , taking people In any longer , although Colonel Brecklnrldge In sisted that the witness was the only woman Miss Polfard would trust herself with. Then the witness created a sensation by relating that Colonel Brecklnrldgo had visited her last summer after the suit hod been filed , iad told-her ho hoped she would have noth- ng to do with the case , to which "she had re plied that she must tell the truth. Colonel Qrecklnrldge had Inquired where Mary Scott and Mary Wilson were , saying that ho wanted to keep them out of the way. IIo md also asked It Miss Pollard ever came to .ho house with Colonel Swopc , and witness md assured him that he was the only man Miss Pollard had over mot there. The visits of Colonel Brockliirldgo and .Ilss . Pollard to Sarah's house , the witness cstilicd , had extended over a period of hrco or four years. Colonel Shelby began thp cross-oxamlna- lon by inquiring : "Sarah , how long have 'ou been keeping an assignation house In .exlngton ? " Whereupon S.irah rolled her oyea to the celling and responded : "Nino- eon years , " In a. matter of fact way. "Who brought you hero ? " "Mr. Farrcl telegraphed for mo to come. " "How long have you known Mr. Farrol ? " "Oh , ever since ho was a young man , " answered the witness , a reply which drew a visible blush to the cheeks of the attorney , because the audience persisted In mulling. The first visit of Colonel Brcckinridge and Miss Pollard had been In the latter part of August , and Sarah Goss understood that the girl had been brought from school , as most schools wore closed from Friday to Monday. Colonel Brecklnrldge had said the girl came on a train. The next wltnesi was a well dressed lady , Lucretla Marie Mlneur of Washington , whoso voice trembled us she announced Rjie had lived at 25 Lafayette square , the fash- lonablo boarding house between the Cosmos slub and Senator Uwf1' Cameron's residence , ind but ono door f/titt'tho Illalno mansion , where Miss Pollard-hHtl boarded In 1S92 and 1S93. Colonel Brtll.lnrldgo had often i-lsltcd Miss PollaM at the housu. The witness , It appcaVctt\vua the landlady of the Lafayette square liou-so. Mrs. Mlnear liad last seen Mlss''IpJllard ' walking In the Dark with Colonri nrt/cklnrldge in April or May of 1893. Onf"fto occasions Colonel Urecklnrldge had brought Miss Pollard liomo In the evening at ! > or half past 9 j'clock. ' " ' MRS. HURTS * EVIDENCE. Mrs. Kate W. R\i \ ( { .1 Mont , mlcldlo-aged lady , a clerk In tho'Wml ollice , had boarded at Thirteenth and' if' strasts. When Mr. Wilson asked If MIsS 'Pollard had lived thora and under what naniL1 Mrs , Hurt expressed u desire to see Miss PUllard , The plaintiff had'just left the court room with her compaiUbjt'1 mid Mr. Curltsla hastened after her , " Imf'illd not return , Mr. Wilson explained thiit-MlsH 1'ollard wan not reeling well and ho had iidvlucd her to go to her room. So the witness was nxciiboJ until 2 o'clock. Soon , however , Miss Pollard retuined , and ludgo Wilson went In search of the \\itnusa nnd Mr. Carlisle , Mrs. Butt recognized Miss Pollard ; said she had lived at Thirteenth und F BlrcuU tor ten days In October , 1S87 , under the iiumci of Mr a. Foster ; The witness had seen Colonel Drecklnrldga At tlu > door twlco and ho had Keno to Mrs. I'oatsr'H room an ths third floor. "Do you know what Mrs. Foster's condl < tlon wan ; whether there were Indications that she was about to bccoma n mother ? " ishcd Mr. Wilson. "Yes , " was the utmost Inaiidlblo reply. "Did Colonel Brecklnrldgo ask It Sam Walter of Kentucky was living thoraV' xsked Colonel Thompkon , on cross-examina tion , to which Mrs , Hurt said ho had , but -hat Sam Walter wa * dead , After this Mr. Carlisle partly emptied the court roe by beginning to rend a deposition by Mr M. A. Kctchum of l.axlngton , with win Miss Pollard had boarded In 1834. 1885 , ni 1S8G , during the tlmo she attended II Sayro Institute. Colonel llrccklnrldgo man foiled Impatience nt the trivial details i the deposition , urging the lawyers to sk them nnd hurry up. Tht > deposition of Ml s Mary F. Hey 79 years of age , who lived with her slate Mrs. Kctchum , followed. To her Miss I'o lard had represented that she had loft tl Wcsleyan Institute nnd had coma to aclio In Lexington to bo nearer her mother. Mil Pollard had said her expense ! ) were ral by her aunts In Plttsburg and when she let at the tlmo the first child Is said to ha\ been born , declared she was going to tl : Mnrdl Gras with an aunt from Fratikfoi who was In delicate health , Rhodes had visited Miss Pollard nnd tl : girl had once said ho offered to pay IK school expenses If she would marry hln but did not say whether she had agreed i the proposition , The old lady had bee asked It James Lniui Allen or Colon * Swopo had visited Miss Pollard and I < n answered In the negative. It would hnv been possible for Colonel Swopo to call will out her knowing It , but not probable. Mlf Pollard had occupied a room down stair whllo the old lady's room v > us upstairs.

Marshall Is the coloret Australian featherweight who Is ever hen In quest of George Dlxon's scalp and who ha succeeded In making a most favorable I in presslon on the California sports , who an willing to go broke that ho can lick nnj man of this weight in the world. "Wo Intend to lay over In Chicago , ' said Qulnn , ' 'to see Ike Weir am Young Grlffo Saturday. Jerry hero Is de > si rous of ( seeing his fellow countryman It the ring once more. They fought Uvlco it : Australia , making a draw the first time but Griffo got tlio decision In tlio secom : fight by being In collusion with the referee and club managers. Marshall had him all but out when the fight was suddenly broughl to a close on n technical foul , and the award made to Grlffo. " In speaking to Marshall about Grlffo , hi said there was no denying that he was one of the greatest little men in the world. "Why , " said the good-natured llttlo black , "didn't ho make a draw with me , " as mucli as to say that settled it ; "but more than that , " ho continued , "ho made a draw witli no less a man than Dan Creedon , and Cree- don was bloody well glad of it. " "Then Creedon can't bo the man he Is rated over hero ? " "Not by a long shot , and If Dick Moore li half as good as they tell mo lie Is ho ought tu beat Dan In a finish contest. " Marshall Is Jet black , with long arms am ! a bulky body , and with legs that look as II they were good enough for almost any Jour ney. IIo Is built upon the Fltzslmmons stylt of architecture , , nid ( Is a good man beyond doubt or quibble. Maher Is a genial , pleasant mannered big follow , and says ho Is In better condition than at any time since he put foot on these shores. "Peter , " Interrupted Qulnn , "is after Stove O'Donnell , and if ho can get him wo are counting on a cinch. O'Donnoll , so Jerry says. Is ono of your Charlie Mitchell-Jack Burke sort of fighters that Is , he has never licked any o.ne , but has a number of credit able draws on his lis't. Jerry Is of the opin ion that big Steve's cleverness would cut but llttlo figure against Peter's pllcdrlver punches. If wo can't get O'Donnoll we'll bo satisfied with Joe Choynskl , and If we can't got Joe most > any ono will suit our purpose , and It matters little who It Is. " "Thought Peter was to flsht Lawrence Farrell at Denver ? " "Well , so he was. but we couldn't see n dollar In It , so wisely concluded to let It go by the board. Now don't make any mistake about tMaher. You remember what I told you about Denver Ed In the St. Charles tlio night bcforo ho fought Goddard. Yo3 ? Well , Peter Is another man who Is liable to fool the best of , them. Ho was In awful condi tion when ho foucht both Fitzslmtnons and Goddard In fact I don't want to tell you how bad ho was. But It Is different now. He Is sound as a dollar today nnd I think will double my money any tlmo ho goes Into a fight. But , here , shako ; the train's moving.

The steamship Hmpross of India just arrived from the Orient brings the Dlaro do Manila of the 15th utt. , containing the following par agraph : "Marano Santa Ana , n native of Albany , who was born In the year 1777 , ami Is consequently 117 years of ago , was dis missed from the hospital at Sau Juan do Dlos yesterday. Old Santa Ana completed also yesterday Ills long term of Imprisonment of fifty-eight years , which were accumulated for his sentence and his three escapes from prison. The unfortunate man on being Kent n\\ay from the hospital requested that ho should be pel milled to remain In the place , seeing that It Is Impossible for him to earn his living through old age. " A proclamation by the government province of Kiang reminds the native converts to Christianity that they are still Chinese sub jects and on the other hand the nonconvcrts nro exhorted to consider the former still as brethren and put aside further doubts and suspicion about them. But while this Is so , converts are warned against relying because of their entrance Into .1 foreign faith too much on foreign protection , for In that case they will bo punished with the utmost rigor. The United States steamship Moncacy re turned to Woosung from Chin Klang on the 13th lust , with several cases of smallpox on board. Six of her crew \vero at once taken to the general hospital at Shanghai. A military mandarin , wearing the third grade or light blue ribbon , was decapitated at See Chow January 31. Ho was convicted of having robbed a silk boat at Tslngpu of $10,000 last summer while proceeding from Shanghai to the silk districts of Pee Chow. Two other persons were also beheaded at the same time , one a male and the other n female , the latter suffering the slicing pro cess. They were paramours and compassed tlio death of the woman's husband by poisoning. The past year's working of the Bank of China , Japan and the Straits , limited , shons a net profit of 18,000 , which now Is absorbed by exchange and other losses amounting to 137,000. Full provision has been made for the loss In exchange on all funds remitted homo nnd for all London assetn. The bal ances of eastern assets remain ntp shillings for a dollar nnd 1 shilling for a rupee. On the night of the 7th tilt , the Steame Hang Chow collided with an unknown vessel supposed to be the St. Asnpli of Breage Point , Hong Kong. The unknown vcsse sank Immediately , while the Hang Chov was much damaged. The St. Asaph was engaged gaged In the coal trade and was enrouli from Moqulto to Hong Kong. She had enl ; seven Europeans on board , the balance o the crew being Chinese. She was commandei by Captain Wood. A naval court of inqulr ; Into the disaster was held on the lUth am the eaptaln of the Hang Chow exonerate ! from all blame. Her majesty's ship Pigmy was ordered t sea to search for the St. Asaph , but failed t find any trace of her. The railway from Tlcn Tsln to Shangha Is now an accomplished fact , and the nev route Is belnc patronized by Immnso nuin bers of passengers and carries largo quan titles of heavy goods , which formerly had t be conveyed , with Immense numbers of pas seiigers and with Immense labor.

Alread ; the road from Sheng , known from the Kwai to the Tallng river , a distance of SCO miles has been leveled , and It Is expected that tin coming spring will see the work of laylni sleepers and rails commenced. On China's New Year's day eighteen Chinese nose lost their lives In a fire In Hong Kong The fire originated through the explosion o a bundle of fire cracliers. A Tien Tsln correspondent Informs the Shanghai Mercury that the Chinese empress gave birth to a son last month , and thai n succession of the present dynasty Is as' sured. A competition between the P. & 0. com pany and the N. Y. 1C. ( Japanese steamship company ) on the Bombay route , has become very keen. The Japanese has made an agreement with the Cotton Spinners union and Is by degrees acquiring a largo share ol the trade. Preparations were being made when the Empress of India left for d colobratlon on the 13th inst. of the silver wedding of the emperor and empress of Japan. The Japan Mall says that henceforth silver weddings will become u feature' of Japanese national customs and thus another link will be added to the chain by which Japan lif rapIdly - Idly becoming bound to the Occident. Postage - ago stamps are to be Issued In commemora tion of the silver wedding. The danomlna- tlon are 5 BCJI and 2 sen , respectively. The Japanese are jubilant over the success of the trial shipments of coal to San Francisco. Having received word that , according to ex periments made by gas companies , it Is at least two candle power richer In gas than Australian coal. Four more ships are now under charter to carry the coal. Oriental advices which have hern received hero state that u disastrous collision oc curred recently In the strait between lien galscio and Clngal. T\\o steamers , the Songguan and Alnghoo , collided while going at full speed. Those on board tlio Songguan jumped Into the Water and erc picked up by the crow of the Alnghoo. Hardly had they reached the deck when both steamers lurched nnd went down. About fifty people were drowned and as many sa\ed them selves by swimming ashoro. Among them were two Americans , Captain Miller of the Songguan and Chief Engineer PIrlo. SAJ10AN AI'TAIUS.
