WESTERN RAILROADS. S-gnifiGanceof the Purchase d the Colo .. v .: . '. rado Midland by the Atchison. "> ' CjaiCAOO, Oct. 4.— The Tribune says: •The. purchase ot . the Colorado Midland by the Atchison, Toreka and Santa Fe appears to. have greater s-giiiiiean c than has been the general impression. It becomes more ;-.- : --ev.'-s'.er;.- day ml it Vms not the object of the. Santa FV,- or rather the bankers who control 'that road, to crowd out the Rock • Island.or any -other road which now termi nates at the eastern slope of the Rocky - Mountains. The Impression Is gaining Strength (hat the deal-was consummated : with the- view of bruising about the forma tion of a gigantic railway trust or combina tion .of' all • ads between . Chicago . and the Pacific Coast;. 'Hie railroad situation in the West-is in a more demoralized condi tion than. before, and unless a pool or. Combine Is specially formed that will insure the maintenance of high rates, many roads will be pushed to. the wall to save them .selves from serious 'losses,": and bankers who .invested, heavily in Western roads shortly after-he foriuation 01 the "G. ntle man's'.

Against.the latter ihe arrows of tie bankers will be .directed. - All oilier . Western roads are sufficiently subju gated.to enter.. into any arrangement .iho bankers may propone, Jay Gould appears .to be in.-full a.- 'uid with them* but the .North western- Pacific combination stands - out. '.Thebaeking of the Van gives 'ih". i latter combination such .strength it can . not. be dislodged without a serious conflict. The Union Pacific, since, its. alliance with the. Northwestern, or rather the Vanderbilt combine, . has . been encroaching-' upon the territory of the Santa. and Gould lines in ail directions. .It lias ob.aiirtd outlets into Texas both Irom Denver' and Omaha, and is now extending the Utah Southern from Frisco, Utah, to'Mojave at the connection of the Santa Willi the Southern Pacific. Tapping the latter at' Ogden ami Jlojave, the I'liioii Pacific and Northwestern com biha'.h would stand invincible and be able to control nearly ail California traffic by en compassing an. alliance. With the Southern Pacific To spoil such a game seems lo have bien ihe. object of the Santa Fe people when they! secured -control of the- Colorado Mid land.. II" they secure the Denver and Itio Grande Western also; they will have a line through' to Sait-.Dake Ciiy ami Ogden, where they can retaliate against the' Onion Pacific Northwestern combination it the latter attempts, to show fig lit at Mojave when they git l here, or try to engineer ' an exclusive arrangement With the Southern Pacific. The issue is nothing more, nor less than a test of -strength between the bankers, aided by Jay' Gould and nearly all the other West ern roads, against the Union- Pacific and Vanderbilt combination," and whichever side comes out ahead will be master- of the situ ation. Until this' lssue" is decided improve ment in Western railroad affairs is not to be looked for. ■ - ' ' "Nothing but assumption, and the most absurd assumption at that," Is what Presi dent ilanveil of the Santa Fe'said to-day when questioned.. Man veil would not say, in so many words, thatthe Colorado Midland had been taken Into the Santa Fo family, but "if it ha?," he observed, "1 can assuioyou the transaction was not backed by any com bination to antagonize the Northwestern- Union Pacific or other alliances. • The pub lished runiois of the three-headed article in the Tribune, stating that the Santa Fe, Mis- souri Pacific awl Southern Pacific were com bining lo control the transcontinental busi ness, are entirely without foundation. The Santa Fe has already a transcontinental line, and is well enough sou -lied with it nut to be trying to secure another. 1 have nothing to say regarding all ih se flying reports, ex cept iley are, as 1 said before, mere assump tions ou the part of some one whose imag ination reaches beyond the limits of legiti mate business propositions." • Another official ot tie ' Santa Fe declared that no effort had been made to gel control ol the Rio Grande Western, but it would be perfectly natural, he thought, for that con cern to waut to make a satisfactory agree ment for the Interchange of business with its strongest connection.

SWAMPED WITH BUSINESS. A Day of Excitement at the New York Custom-House. Throngs of Importers and Brokers En deavoring to Make Their Entries. The Last Day for Admitting Goods Under the Old Tariff Law— Treasury Offi cials Hard at Work. . Special to Tub: Morning Cali. %& New York, Oct. 4.— The most Intense ex citement prevailed in and about the Custom house all day, while troops of importers and' brokers kept coming and going. As 3 o'clock approached the numbers increased until the rotunda was filled with a solid mass' of humanity, which jostled, pushed and yelled. All wished to get their entries in under the old .law, and stood ready to make entries the moment vessels were sighted at Fire Island. By a decision of yesterday 'the Custom-house was to have closed at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The mass of im porters and brokers in the Custom-house was so great at 3 o'clock that Collect r Erhard announced the time extended until 4 o'clock. Each moment after Li o'clock the excitement became greater and those in the rotunda appeared to bo going crazy. They shouted, yelled and made futile efforts :o move about. Clerks in various divisions were swamped with business. Not for years has such a scene been enacted in the Custom-house, The Collector was in a quandary. His office was jammed with importers, who waved rolls in their hands and shouted .to him not to close. The pressure on the Collector became so great that finally he telegraphed Secretary Win dom for advice. The Secretary soon replied for the Collector to use his discretion in the matter. Accordingly the Collector decided to keep the Custom-house open until 12 o'clock to-night. The steamships lb gnals, .City of Chicago, Vandam ' and ■ City of Columbia, the latter from Havana with a cargo of tobacco, were due to-night." At s:3o. o'clock the City of Chicago was entered, and a great part nt the waiting crowd was relieved. At 6:03 o'clock tho steamer I.egulus, with a cargo of laces, silks ami velvets, was entered. There was still due the Eiruria. Thingvalla and Zundam, and news of them war- anxiously awaited. At 10:30 o'clock it became known that th- Etruria had been sighted off the inter bar at 9:34 o'clock. Atone minute of 12 the cap tain of the Etruria had not arrived. Ten seconds later, wheu half the lights were out a carriage came on a rush to the door and a great shoot went up. From it jumped Cap tain Hams, who was immediately behind the counter and entered his vessel just be fore tho clock s:ruck midnight. Three cheers and a tiger were given for him. The captain had come in a special tug and was driven at breakneck pace from the dock to the Custom-house. The receipts at the Custom-house to-day were 51,134. 353. the second largest amount taken in thereldnce the war. The receipts for tlie week were over SG.OOO 000. ■ Washington; Octs.— Secretary Windom, Assistant Secretaries Spanlding and Nettle ' ton and Genual Appraiser Tichenor spent to-dry over Questions that have arisen re garding tin- execution of the new tariff law, wbicb t«kes effect Monday morning. Several importers, desirous of receiving the full benetit of existing tariff rates, applied to tho Treasury Department for.permission to en ter their goods, at the Custom-house- up to midnight Sunday. Assistant Secretary Spaulding has informed them that this is a matter entirely within the discretion of the Collectors of Customs at.the various ports, and that the. department is not dis poser! to interfere in tie matter. General Spaulding said to-day that he did not antici pate trouble with regard to the execution of the new law on the Pacific Coast by reason of the failure of customs officers to receive official copies of tli" law at the date it goes into operation, as entries mane on and alter Monday under the present law can be readily liquidated under the new rates with very little extra labor. . Halifax, Oct. 4.— Discussing the Boston Herald's article on the"effectof the McKinley bill in Europe, the Halifax Herald of this morning says: "Whatever other countries may do, we conceive it t" be almost impera tive on Great Mritain to take decided action in the matter.' The McKinley Bill has been passed with the avowed purpose of .coercing Canada into severing her connection with the Biitish Empire and becoming pin of the United Slates, It is therefore, iv its nature, an act of war on the British Empire to bring about dismemberment. Will Great Britain go on affording her enemies the same trade facilities in her ports she accords her own children? It is a case for discrimination against the United States." New Voiik, Oct. 4.— The Herald's Lon don correspondent says that representatives in Manchester of an American dry goods house believe that the new tariff will not af fect the trade in cotton goods, except in the case of velvets and other fine fabrics, and •that Germany and France will suffer more than England. ♦ LODGE'S OPPONENT. A Cue Where the. Office Was Compelled to Seek the Mnn. Boston, Oct. 4.— The eagerness of the Democracy .nf Massachusetts to defeat Henry Cabot Lodge for Congress in re sponse to the cry from all over New En gland to down the author of the Force Hill and a lieutenant of Speaker Reed resulted in a curious complication to-night. Mr. Lodge has been so actively at work strength ening himself in his district during the past six months that not a soul could be found in the same district to accept the nom ination against him. Tbe Democratic con vention was died for to-night, and up to (I o'clock the Nominating Committee hadn't the slightest idea of whom to propose. Several prominent citizens were ap proached and declined emphatically, and In despair the conveuion named as their choice Dr. William Everett of Qtiincy, tiring the almost unheard of tiring of going out of the district lor a can didate. This placed the Second District people in a hole, as they intended themselves nominating Dr. Everett on Monday. The selection ot .such a man to run against a pol itician like Ijitlze causes considerable amusement. Dr. Everett Is the youngest son of Edward Everett. He is a D.D. and Ph.D., ex-Harvard professor and a Unitar ian divine. He is known for his religious writings and as being the original mugwump. • THE MOIIHuN CHURCH. President Woodruff's Rtvilation— Prediction of Apostle;. Salt Lake, Oct. 4.— The Mormon semi annual conference was opened to-day by George Q. Cannon. Elder Itoberts spoke of a revelation to come from President Wood ruff, and said 1890 would rank as an epoch in the history of the church. President Woodruff then came forward and said the Lord wouldn't reveal the time, but he had talked twice recently with Joseph Smith in the spirit, and the purport of it was the bridegroom was about to mate the bride. He also talked behind the ' veil with llrig liam and was encouraged greatly. Apostle Richards said the kingdom was "to advance more rapidly than ever, hut the Son of Man and the angels would not come on' earth until Jerusalem is rebuilt. The saints should study tho Scriptures mure and then young men would see visions and the old men dream. Apostlo Thatcher advised the saints to prepare for 1891. They had prospered greatly of late and that made him feai ful. What they need was persecution and plenty of it. He expressed full belief in • Woodruff's conversations with s Joseph Smith and lSrighmn Young. The time «as coming when this country would again engage in strife between labor and capital," and- the Mormon question be forgotten for a time. Then the people would flee from all parts of tbe land to Utah, and the Mormons would welcome them, and would establish here a true Republican Government with Demo cratic principles. > THE SEASON ENDED. So Enthusiasm Manifested in the Closing r ysl Bill Games at tha East. Chicago, Oct. 4.— The championship sea son of the National and Players' base-ball leagues closed this afternoon. Since the first few weeks of the season Interest in the came in the East has died out wonderfully, and this week, instead of their being, as in the past, excitement at various points over the closing contests and the standing of the dif ferent clubs, the interest has, if . anything, lessened.

KNIGHTS OF LiAIIOU. Alle?ed E'asrns for the Recent Order of the N w York Central. New York, Oct. 4.— lt is reported that the management of the New York Central Kail road was askidby other labor organizations to drive the Knights of Labor from the service of the company. A correspondent writes; lt is not generally known, but it is a fact, that this latest order not only has the approval of some oilier organizations, but the Central management has been actually requested by representatives of the L co motive and Firemen's brotherhoods todiive the Knights of Labor from the system, llemlieri of the brotherhoods, as in the Switchmen's Union, have been complaining ever since the strike that they were mo lested, threatened, abused and were at times in a state of terror on account of intimida tion practiced by walking delegates and other acts of the Knights. A committee of the Locomotive Engineers' Brotherhood went so far as to tell Webb that the com pany would have to choose between the, engineers' organization and that of the; Knights of Labor. There is no opposition on the part of the Central management to any labor organization whatever exreptin. the Knights. In fact it is claimed that all of the others are encouraged and supported. i — -♦ Afrinl Ship Cnmpiny.

CAMPAIGN LITErtATUIiE. „V-. - A remarkable line of campaign literature has been prepared by the Republican Con gressional Committee. These documents are short and attractive. They relate almost entirely to issues that have developed in the last administration. One of these pam phlets is. entitled "Facts From the Treasury." This pamphlet shows how this administra tion has saved the people no less than $5i.000.000 in its redemption of the bonded deft. Another Is entitled "Fair Elections or Foul— Choose." the significance of which is apparent. Another Is entitled "Better Days lor Farmers," and relates to the effect of the McKinley bill upon all agricultural products and supplies. The Silver Dill, Pennon Bill ana various other issues are also treated. These documents have been circulated by the million, and a force of about 100 men and women is employed night and day in sending them off.- The scene that is presented by all tills activity is unique aud interesting.

These Indians, led by-'Captiin Jack, had taken up an almost impregnable position in the lava beds. A commission was sent out by the Government to negotiate peace. -At the head of the commission was Colonel A. li. Meacliam. The interpreter for the commission was a man named Kiddell. His wife was a Modoc woman, Winemah I'.iddell. The Commissioners offered amnesty, and the Modocs sent back fair promises. Several overtures were made, and each time Winemah warned the Com missioners that the Indians un nut treachery. Later came a proposition from the Modocs for a council, at which half a dozen on each side shoulu appear unarmed. It was refused. THE MASSACRE. The Modocs repeated the request for a council the next day, ami said that if the talk was satisfactory they would all come into ca nip and surrender. Reddill went be lore the Commissioners and told again of Wincniah's warning. He said to the Com missioners that if the meeting must be held he wanted to l.c tree from the responsibility, but General Canby and Dr. Tliomas of the commission refused to believe there was any danger. They insisted on keeping the ap pointment and going unarmed. A confer ence with the Indians was held, ami General Canby was asked to withdraw his troops. His relusal was tbe signal for the massacre. Cunby and Thomas were shot dead, Colonel Meacliam fell witb two bullets in his body, and a brave had torn a portion of his scalp off. who|| Winemah rescued bim and car ried hinibiick to camp, where ho recovered.

Washington, Oct. 4.— The proposed in vestigation of the office of General Dumont, Supervising Inspector of Steam Vessels, ap pears to have come to an abrupt end. The reference of the resolution introduced by Flower back to the Committee on Rules is probably the last of it. Last. Monday when General Dumont, the Supervising Inspector- General, was before the Committee on Mer chant Marine and Fisheries, which had been given charge of tbe investigation, it was dis covered that the charges were not signed. Flower was sent for and asked by the com mittee if be wanted to take the responsibility for the charges. ,-■■■. lie replied that he did not; that, be knew nothing about them except thnt a Mr. Dusted came to him with a leiterof recommendation and introduction from George L. Norton, editor of the Marine Journal, and claimed to represent the Grand Harbor of the Brother boon of Pilots, comprising 33,000 licensed pilots, who claimed to be persecuted by Gen eial Dumont. General Dtimont disputed tne authority of either 11 listed or Norton, and wrote to. Cap tain Tuthill, Grand Captain ol the Grand Harbor. A reply was received, from Tut hill. In which lie said Dusted was not known to bim, and did not represent the Grand Harbor at all. He said, further, that there were no complaints from the Grand Harbor, but there was some grumbling among probably a half dozen disgruntled men in Harbor No. 1. Yesterday General Dumont wrote an of ficial letter to Flower, quoting from the let ter of Tuihill, and stating that Norton was a persistent and bitter enemy of his (Du mout's) because he had refused to pass some accounts which Mr. Norton insisted should be passed. ... ■ . .. v , NAVAL 'AFFAIRS.

" ■ , The Secretary also notified the Union Iron Works of San 'Francisco that they . will be given the contract for the construction of ' one of the battle-ships on the same plans as the other two, provided they are willing to undenako the work for $3,180,000, being ihe price at which the Cramps offered ■to build ■ the vessel, plus 8190,000 allowed for trans portation expenses.!- This is 8(10,000 less than the bid of the Union Iron Works. - _ Orders were issued to-day from tho Navy Department to the Commandant of the Navy- yard at Mare Island, to accept Cruiser No. 5, known as the San Francisco. Orders were issued from the Navy De partment to-day to the Commandant of the navy-yard at Mare Island to accept ■ the cruiser No. 5, known as the San Francisco. The report of the trial board, of which Com modore John Irwin was President, gave the ship on her trial trip an average speed of 19._63 knots per hour. This speed was based on a run of four hours, an allowance of one minute forty-two seconds being made on account of the necessity of stopping the forced draught to the two lower furnace air-ducts to the boiler iv the second fire room forward during the latter part of the run, and to all of the furnaces In the for ward fire-room fer fifteen minutes. This was necessary, for water, was discovered coming into the forward fire-room, where it had been used for circulating through the guide-sprays on the bearing and crank pins and the extra water supply of all of the eccentrics. It had drained into tbe bilge wells and risen to a point higher than the drain valve in the forward boiler compartment, which opens Into the main drain that connects with the bilge well, and as this valve was accidentally open, the water from the bilce pump backed up through the drain pipe valve on to the fire room floor, and partially filled the two lower furnaces and ducts of tne boilers in the second fire-room forward. Without this allowance of one minute forty-two seconds the speed of the vessel was 19.818 knots. The board states the cause for closing down was entirely outside of the working of the engines and boilers, as required by contract. The vessel's speed during the hist fifteen minutes of the run was 20.115 knots; per hour and by the patent log she averaged, for the four hours, '2u.fio4 knots. WYOMING'S PROGRESS.
