AnU-H fur llrHcr llnti-x to Allmitle
PiirlH.
The Chicago papers have taken up the
light of the Chicago-Omaha lines against the
Chicago-New York lints for better grain
rates. They declare that it U all the fault
of the lines east of Chicago that New Or
leans has become the principal corn export
port of the United States , and that other
southern ports arc jumping to the front
and pushing Atlantic seaboard ports to the
background. It Is said the Iowa llnrs are
perfectly agreeable to do anything necessary
to retain the grain btialnisj they have al
ways been used to hauling , but that the
great obstacle encountered Is the adverse
attitude of thp lines between Chicago and
the Atlantic coast. Meanwhile the south
ern ports appear to prosper at the expense
of thrlr eastern competitors.
Ilo'.lilti.v Travel \ot Heavy.
Christmas travel In the west was not what
the pajrcnger representatives ot the various
western llnoi had anticipated. It was not
at all good , although railroad men say them
appears to be no cxcuce for the tcrrlblo
wall sent out from Chicago. Inquiry among
the Oniulia line develops the fact that
while travel Just before Christmas hereabouts
wai not what had been hoped for , It did not
qnlto roach the lowest notch. Through | > 33-
nengcr traffic , na usual during the holidays ,
dropped to a minimum. I.o-al travel was
more brisk than It was a fortnight ago , but
was behind the travel of November. It Is
confidently expected that ill least through
travel to California will Improve soon after
the first of the year.
Hnten fur Lumbermen.
Another vote of the roads In the Western
PaF.spnijer association on the proposition to
glvo a one-fare rate for the round trip to
the lumbermen and Implement dealers' con
vention , soon to convene In Kansas City , Is
being taken. A rate of one and one-thlrrt
regular fnre for the rouinl trip has already
been drcluied , but that doesn't exactly suit
the delegates to the convention. They want
a one-faro rate for the round trip. Their
eaune Is being championed by the Missouri
Pacific. The matter proml.srs to develop Into
nn Interesting light among the roads In the
Western Passenger association.

So far In the supreme- court Judgeshlp
muddle no report has been oliiclallv signed
by the state canvassing board. The repub
licans say that the plan of the. populists Is
to make no formal report , but to allow the
now legislature to find that there has been
no action taken by the canvassing hoard , and
elccbiro Klrkpntrlck and Neville elected , nnd
let the republicans force the fl < ; htng ! In the
supreme court nfter such declaration. The
populists claim that tb'b supreme court can
not override the action of the legislature
any more than Iho legislature can undo
n decision of the court. For. this reason
iiome republicans arc saying It would ho
best to romir.enco the fight In the supreme
court before the meeting o . .thelesUlature. .
nnd this may 'bo done. Any citizen cmi
bring the action , but the- question M who
slull It be ? It Is evident that the populUla
are relying on .the new secretary of state
to attest t'.ic signature of the governor ft >
the certificates of ele'ctlon of Neville anil
Klrkpatrlck. as Secretary of State Piper
has positively refused to do so. At all
events there promises soon to bo aonio sen
sational movements In this matter. It is
stated around the capltol today that Commis
sioner Itairan has refused to advise the popu
lists In the matter , holding with the real of
the court , that Neville nnd Klrkpatrlck were
not cl ° ctcd.

was accorded a great ovation. The party ar
rived here on the 4:45 : Uurllngton train yes
terday afternoon , and In the evening the
sporting editor had a brief Interview with
Lanky Robert. Ilo never looked bettor In
his life , with a line color , bright eyes nnd
all the evidences of first-class condition and
robust health. I'ltzslmmons Is one of the
few representatives of the manly .irt who
is always In proper fettle. H make-s no dif
ference whether lu > has any engagements on

ough and systematic to over bo caught out
of form , lie Is a lighter of the moat ster

In response to a query as to whether 1'e
thought the present proposed oncoualor with
Jim Corhett , the ex-chnmnlon , would be a
go or not , ho replied : "So far as I r.m con
cerned It Is as sure ns If it had al ; cr.dy
taken placo. It has been my one iimbllon
for nearly four yenra to meet ibis fellow ,
nnd just why I have not been granted tMs
privilege I leave the public to form Its own
Ideas. "
"Will you elpn the articles to which Cor-
belt has put his signature on your ar
rival In Now York ? "
"Just as soon as 1 get there and have
had a day's rest. I always oald that 1
would allow no obstacles lo block a meetIng -
Ing with the cx-ehamplon , and now as 1
have got him where. I want him I will ac
cept Dan Stuart's terms without quibble
or argument. "
"Where do you think the battle ground
will take place ? "
"Well , like yourself , I think Juarez , Mexico
ice , Is ns likely a spot os any , although It
may take place near San Antonio , at Lerado
or at Carson City. I have had a pretty
Kood tip. recently , that Carson City la apt
to have the call. Hut It matters little to
mo. Any old place will do outside of Cali
fornia , and I'll fight him there It no other
site can bo secured. "
"How about It any way , can you lick
him ? "
"Well now , that'a good. You know I can
You've seen mo whip several men just as
good ns he Is and If I didn't think so , 1
certainly would not Jeopardise my chances
for future glory nnd fortuneby getting
In the ring with him. "
"And the California affair ? "
"Oh. that In a matter 1 don't like to talk
about. In the whole history of pugilism
there never was a colder case of robbery.
That man Sharkey Is unworthy of any
Jinnon man's attention. Ho Is not only
crooked to the core , but the rankest speci

Hoyd's theater win packed to density last
night by nn audience which gathered os
tensibly to see that sterling old masterpiece
of llrltlsh melo.lramntlc architecture ,
"Saved From the. Sea. " but , without any
reflection upon either the character of the.
melodrama or the rather excellent company
which proeluced It , It may be ventured that
the major portion of the nmllonoe was at
tracted by the announcement that llobcrt
Kltzi'liiYinons , the champion heavyweight
pugilist of the- world , was to he a p.irt and
parcel of the last act. As for the piece It
self , It may be truthfully paid that It Is one
of the best of Its kind on the boards today.
Its cast Included the whole rnngo of dram
atic possibility from the promising child to
the crafty villain , and from the artful
maiden with her cocknoy'lovor to the robust
hero and his tearfully clinging wife. The
company Is well selected to meet the cx-
Igenclcy of the "thrilling situations" which
are plentifully distributed through the four
acts , and the scenery and mechanical effects
were far above the average.
"Saved from the Sea" will play at the
Hoyd the balance of the week at the regular
prices of the house. The advanced price's
of last evening were solely on account of
the Joint engagement with Fltzslmnions.

There Is a good de'al of speculation In the
city hall Just now as to the probable action
of the council relative to the charges
against City Engineer Howell. It wee
stated by an olllclal who Is In a position
to know the facts that Instead of recom
mending the Impeachment of the city engi
neer a majority of the special committee
will bring In n report by which n coat of
whitewash , millleloutly thick to cover all
the Indiscretions ot that olllclal , will be
distributed. He hays thnt Rlnce the In
vestigation thn friends of Mr. llowcll have
made a deal , by virtue of whleh Councilman
Taylor -Is to change front and stand by
Howell. Dlngham and Axford me prc-
oumcd to bo with him already , and thta
would give him a rmjorlty of the com
mittee. According to the authority men
tioned , Taylor Is lo recrivo the support
of. the administration toward getting his
city Jail Job through the council , while If
he votes against Howell It will ho vetoed
by the mayor. His son. who was dismlajod
from the engineering department sometime
ago , is also to be re-cmploycd ns a further
compensation for his goad ofllccs , nnd with
thU arrangement In view , It Is given out
that Howell will bo mildlv censured for 1111
