The annual meeting of the Richmond Terminal was held today, and Jay Gould, his son George Gould,, Russell Sage, Abraru S. Hewitt and A. T. Wilson were elected to the directory. Hewitt and Wilson came into the board at the special request of President Ionian. Roth nuiu have very large personal interests in the south, and es-pecially in that section through which the Richmond Terminal extends. It in a mistake to helievo that there is any unpleasantness between Gould, Briee and Thomas. There is no truth in the report that Gould forced them out of their Richmond Terminal holdings, ns had been alleged. They had been from the tirst thoroughly in accord with Gould, and were not only apprised of his intentions, but they 'aided him in every wav to carry ootids plans. The stock ho bought, and he had been buy-ing it for several weeks, was purchased quietly in the open market. LOCAL QUARRIES. A Magnificent of Building Stone on Inhibition.

It has been reduced the past year by and is now about Jll.oOd.OOO. Mr. Gould knew all about the floating debt when he entered tha directory and hns discovered nothing new about it. He agreed to take care) of it ainl has provided for the January 1st requirements, which are less than $',000,000. Mr Gould expressed great satisfaction at the appearance of every thing in connection with the property. He has no more idea of a receivership for the property than I have for the Ames building. I do not know of any scheme for funding the Union Pacitio debt. We can easily pay it when tha railroad bond market revives." THE iDAHOToUTLOOlL It is the Field Against Dubois, aud a Dark Horse May Get in, A PROBABLE DEAD LOOK. Combinations and Slates are Suggested, the Oombiue Being Broken and the Slates Smashed. Boise Cii y, Idaho, Deo. 9. Special to The Times.) The senatorial con-test is becoming more complicated every hour. The northern men showed their teeth yesterday afternoon and they are enclined to be ugly. They are determined to have tho tirst senator and will oppose every movement that is not In that direction. Chggott who is now tho strongest candidate from the north, was heard to make the statement that thero would be no vote taken for United States senator for ten days. The Du Bois men will do everything in their power to force an eariy vote. Every hours delay brightens the pros-pects of the north and makes more dif-ficult the election of either Du IHois or Shoup. It is known that a compromise has been proposed to Du Hois that he form a combine with some man from tha north. Mr. Hey burn has been the man talk'ed of today and the dropping of Shoup. This would insure his election by a practically unanimous vote. This Du-bois has, however, refused to do, and at a caucus of the southern members it was resolved to stand by the two south-ern candidates and mako no conces-sions to the north. This promises to prolong the struggle and mauy of the friends of Dubois do not approve of this course. Tho chilly north wind tiiat shattered the Dubois slate in the house yesterdvy tilled them with alarm. There is no doubt that Dubois could bo elected if he went in without being tied to Shoup, but as long as he holds on to Shoup the north will insist that they get their sen-ator tirst. Once allow them to elect a senator the indications point to a dead-lock between Shoup and Dubois that will allow a dark horse to slip in. The friends of the north are this morning jubilant. They have mapped out their campaign and will use every effort to delay the organization of the senate, so as to put off as long as pos-sible the poll on the senatorship. Tho events of yesterday give some color to the claim of the north that they own , and control the Democratic vote. It nlso made apparent the fact that in this contest it is the field against Du-bois. I The Statesman, the Du Bois organ, this morning brings vague charges of corruption and intimates that tho "bar-rel" of the north is more potent than principlo with some members, of the legislature. A canvass by the friends of Du Bois and Shoup, 'they report, shows that these two candidates have 2H votes. This is just enough to elect but the north claims they cannot con-trol that number by some hnlf dozen. The candidacy of Delamar is stronger, than was at first supposed. Tho sup-porters of Shoup and Dubois still claim that his head has been swelled by the ' gang" from the north for the pur-pose of "tapping his sack," but the fact remains that he is a promising dark horse; this is, however, only in the event that the north succeeds in delaying a vote until they can by some means recruit RtilHcienl strength to cause a dead-lock. A would-b- e dark horse here is Sav-- ' idge, the Union Pacific attorney at Mr. Savidgo has just returned from Omaha, and it is reported here that he has brought with him several kegs from the Union Pacific barrel with which to help along his condidacy. Savidgo is an enemy of Dubois, and in this light is training with tho north. About a week ago a henchman of his approached a papor in southeastern Idaho with three col-umns of copy which w'as a "savidgo at-tack" on Dubois and Shoup. This copy was furnished by tho "gang from the north" aud arrangements were made for its publication. They evidently became afraid to spring it as it has not yet ap-peared. Later today it was learned that Mr. Savidge has now in his pocket a tele-gram from John M. Thurston, ordering him to leave Boise and stay away until after the senatorial election. Another telegram was also received from Mr. Thurston by another of the senatorial candidates, stating emphat-ically that the Union Pacilic was abso-lutely taking no part whatever in the senatorial struggle in Idaho. This blasts the hopos of Mr. Savidge . and it is intimated that ho will also lose his ollicial head because he did not leave Boise last night.

Follow. a Celebration In Which Many ara Killed. San Francisco, Dec. 9. Advices from Chungking, China, say the trou-bles at Ta Chu Hsien arose from a mas-sacre of Chinese .christians at Loong Tuyn Isin by members of tlie Loo Huy Los society during a celebration in honor of their patron diety.

I'romla.d But there la a Strong; Flavor of Flah About tha Whole A flair. New York, Dec. 9. Special. It is ucunitely understood now among prom-inent democratic politicians that Gov-ernor Hill will accept tho United States senatorship, succeeding William M. Evarts, and that he will not be au as-pirant for tho presidential nomination before the next democratic national convention. It is furthor understood between the Cleveland and Hill man-agers that in the event of the former being elected president, he will not seek a but that he will exert all the power at his command to secure the nomination for Hill. As no bond is given with the agreement, no petialty can be visited on tha party who vio-lates its provisions, and therefore it is believed that the compact will last only so long as it serves the best political interests of either of tho parties di-rectly interested. Mayor Chapin of Brooklyn will be nominated to succeed Hill as governor. CLEVELAND TALKS Aad 8ya lie Will Surely ba tha Nomln.e In lSifJ. , Siorx Falls, S. 1)., Dec. 9. J.
