N symptoms The meeting ntents were Babeock ipresided Rand announced that the purpose of the meet- ing was to consider the acts of the board of directors in agreeing to remodel and enlarge the Chamber of Commerce huilding for the of the Commercial club. Mr, Yisher, of the firm of Fisher & Lawrle, the architects engaged to make the plans, ex- plained in a general way what the proposed *hanges were, and sta that the cost would not exceed §,000. Numerous questions were asked of him by varicus members and an- swered. Advantages of the Plan, F. C. Ayer stated that the Commerci club agreed to pay £1,.800 per annum for the rooms, and that a standing offer existed fc the present offices of the directors of £800 and for the restaurant of #1,200. J. A, Con- ners submitted a report showing what the directors had _already accomplished and what they would accoriplish for the Board of Trade if the new arrangement was al- lowed to go into effect. The top floor, he said, had yielded #1508 and in 180 The Commercial club would pay in round numbers about #00 more than | this. The dir the present ‘tors’ rooms would bring $500 staurant #1, S0 tary's v of #1800 would be saved and dues amounting to #4100 no longer be demanded.” These were transactions 1o future. The board had already saved to the Board of Trade $5,000 and 00 interest on o loan ‘I'his statement, with a total of 11,020, whether or not the board was This statement his 1eet, brought W. L. Breen to and he began to criticise the board turning in o report of savings merely in prospect. Some one a point of order that they had not come there for the purpose of coasidering the past doings of the directors, buv to deliberate upon what they were about to do for the Commercial club, D, H. Whecler arose and insisted that Mr. Breen be al- lowed to talk The question whether the intended ‘tion on the t of the board was judicious and the ter contained in the rep ont. | insisted that the item of commission saved on the loan was really not a saving, beeause any one could have done the same thing. The cha an submitted that if any one questioned the truth of the report he should examine the secretary's books. And he further said that if money was obtained for less than it had been se- lcured on former occasions, it was a saving. Stephenson Had a James Stophenson broke in upon the run- hing discussion and held the fort. He said hat a club with such a large membership hs the Commercial club expected to have, ould certainly render necessary another plevator and many other improvements. ohn D, Knox explained that of the present 00 members, nearly onefifth resided in uth Omaha and would hardly visit he club rooms once L Week. any others would be traveling men and out n the road much of the time, Quite & num- ber would be residents of other towns in the Jstate, holding associate memb would entitle them to the pr club when in the ei This satisfied Mr, tephenson. He brancheds out, however, Hundreds of dollars which the Board of I'rade should now have for rents remained unpaid. He wanted his moncy out of the concera. Some one suggested that he had received some for carriage hire. This roused Mr, Stephenson's anger. He finsiste 1 that he had given five times as much to the Board of Trade as any man in it; that he had not churged 1 cent for the use of his oaches in the Black Hills, and that the con- temptible loafer who wrote the article charging him with having received pay for it ad not the truth in him. He had made nu- perous trips for the board and had never re- eived a cent in return. I, C. Ayer here offered a resolution that he acts of the board of director: relation o the proposed change be concurred in by hose prosent. A. P2, Tukey's speech v neiliatory, He showed ho the Board of Trade was to be enefited. The building was now renting or 15 or 20 per cent less than other buildings which were no moro desirable. — The occu- fal club would increase sancy of the Comme the rents and, as a business proposition, the iighly desirable. shange w Furay Scored a Point. Major Furay then took the floor and made a redhot speech in support of the dircetors, Ho said that the purposes of the Commercial club were as b Omaha was. The alleged Board of Trade had not accomplished what was expected of it. There were two elements in it, one which sought to build up the town aund the other which re- garded their investment purely as a speculation. The Commercial club was an oevidence of broad and ex- pansive ideas. Why talk of a small matter of a fow hundred doll The people who were forming this new club gave evidence that they loved the city, and the Board of Trado, which pretended to do the same, should help it as much as possible. He was amazed that any man should stand up and oppose this broad, progressive spirit. The Board of Trade ought not to charge the club more than §1 per annum for the rooms, and he would favor such a proposition. Tho spesker was roundly applauded, the resolution endorsing the actions of the board put and carried with only two disseuting votes, and the mecting adjourned. The membors crowded around Major Furay snd shook his hand vigorously. e had struck a responsive chord and was for a few momeats the hero of the occasion, THEY WILL TRAVEL FREE, 1evance.

As un the maunufacturers’ exposition it was pro- to furnish the deiegates with free transportation to Omaha and return.

S EMBRYO WIGGINS. One Boy Who Shows Promise asa Wenther Foreeaster, Father Charles Beitkops, who has charge of Joseph's parochial school on Castella stroet, is going to send to the World's fair some very clever drawing done by the pupils of his school. The work is of a unique and practical line. One of the pieces is a weather map, upon which the atmospheric conditions fora certain day are artistically and irately shown by the isoba isotherms, arrows and other charact ployed by the weather bureau in describing the progress and location of areas of high and low barometer and of variations of temperature The map is remarkably well executed and cousidering the fact that one of the boys not only drew the isobars and isotherms but actually made the forecast himself from the appearance of the map it i3 quite extraordi- nary. The lad who made the forecost is but 11 years old, but he has for several months been deeply interested in the daily weather maps puv out by the weather bureau and has made the business something of a study in school. Father Breitkops is Justly proud of his bright pupil and think he sees in the boy the making of a wonder- ful student of the elements that wrap the earth around. Half a dozen of the pupils in St Joseph's school had a hand in the mechanical work on the map. Father Breitkops took the map to the weather bureau yesterday for the purpose of showing it to Captain Hunt and other employes of the oM The work greatly admired. The pupils are all Ger- man and they naturally have a fondness for the Fatherland. The forecast is placed on the map in both Eoglish and German, and on the margin of the map there is the pic- ture of a ship putting out of New York harbor for Germany They Broke the Neutrality Laws SAN ANtoNI0, Tex., April 20.—Deputy United States Marshal Fink Barnhill, sherift of Starr county and eight guards, arrived here today, having in custody thirty-two prisoners, all charged with violation of the United States neutrslity laws.

Howe quit, on account of his health, tobe the general attorney for the Sioux ¢ rarlrond with headquarters at St. Paul, he not only has had the most violent antipa thy toward railroads, but has posed us the guardian ad litem of the people. As such guardian he injected himself into the Stuht s periodically appeared in the the champion of the people s the great protector of their In view of the statement contained in one of his Fecent piteous appeals that he left all future responsibility with the citi- zens, it was hoped tho citizens would be spared any future card writing by him, but he has suddenly broken out in a new place and terday gave to Tue Bee another of his cards on the depot controver His last effusion, however, lacks the force and point of those previously published. It has neither the wit nor the brilliancy which accompanied his former effo . He wholly fails this time to state that *‘A billy goat in the barn is worth two that are unborn.” A card from John D. Howe v not stated is like the play ot Ha Hamlet left out Liven his *Ha, ha, and his win up lacks its usual pathos. Here is how one of his former cards closed: “If you get no union depot; new bridge; if Omaha for ye hangs pendant from the tail of th monopoly (the Union not point your finger to the undersigned hercof, for now as ever he warns youagainst the great breaker of contracts, the party that suYers so much from ultra vires and so little from intra ditto." What a lo of his country is Howe! What a protector of the defenseless he makes! Judging him by his former cards he is entitled to a place alongside the liberty bell at Ch but like the old liberty bell he is what cracked, and unlike the liberty bell he is not what he seems, It he was only truly representing the peopl he claims, we might vote him a place at the World's fairas a unique specimen of loyalty and unsclfishness. But when it is understood that for a retainer from the Milwaukee company he is merely seeking to pull the chestuuts of that company out of the fire at the expense of the city of Omaha, his supposed ¢ and unselfishness vanishes into thin air. ¢ under a false d guise he has done this city o greater injury than he can atone for if he lives w bea hundred years old. The delay in the struction of the union depot has alr e Omaha ivreparable damago. dirvect damage to our city by the delay in building the upion depot excoeds a thou week, and the indirect damage has amounted to hundreds of thou- sands of dollars. So far as 1 am personally concerned 1 am desirous ouly of what may be for the best interests of the city. 1f what is proposed is not best, or is not favored by the people. n 1 am entirely willing that the views o e should prevail. Ido not think,how- for the reason that ne is secretly representing other interests, or is seized with rabies of the most violent type every time mention is made of the Union Pacific or B. & M. railroads, that Omaha, to use his own expression, should remain “bottied up" for all time to come. I do not ap- pear in defense of either of these corporations. [ recognize as fully as Mr. Howe that neither the Union Pucific or the B. & M. railroad companies have ever thus far given Omaha fair or lit- eral treatment, but [ donot believe for this reason in continuing an unnecessary fight which is causing serious injury to Omaha It is foily to cut off your own nose, John, to spite your face. 1 believe a much better plan is to secure a fair, friendly, amicable adjust- ment of ail differences if this can be done, With this in view, early in 1802 4 committee was appointed by the Real Estate Owners ass0iation toconfer with the representatives of the Unfon Pacfic and B, & M. railroad companies.

All the members of the com- mittee, with the q-n-rl: o of Mr. Poppleton, and p ibly Mr. L ;Fr, had a personal ‘ interview with Mr. mball and Mr. Hold- rege, at which interview it was proposed that the city give the deed required for depot grounds, including. streets and alleys, in consideration of the cancellation of the £15),000 bonds and thaprompt completion of the union depot. Af this inte)view 1 in- sisted that if tho city confirmed the title to the depot grounds by giving the deed déthanded so as to enable the Union Depotcompany to raise the required funds on its bonds, that all other matters of difference between the roilroad companies and the city,should be taken into | account and co s made to the city by the railroad companies.

H. H. Clark, who was then in New York. A copy of the telegram is as follows I'he committee of Omaha citizens pro: poses to huve deed without conditions exe- uted by city for land proposed to be con- veyed to Union Depot_company to either Union Pacific or Union Depot company ; also dismiss pending suit and waive conditions of gnaranty bonds on bric nd depot, the railroad company to release claim to said bonds and «t once commence work and | build depot in accordanc Van Brunt & Howe plan without unne answer immediately The action of the committee was published in Tue Bre and the World-He expression of disapproval as to what was pre posed was published in either p Clark failed to mak response to telegram, and as th along wi it any ‘The eity council fir and appointed a sp to confer with the repres of the Union depot ailroad companies with a view of get- tory settlement.

What id demand, however, was far beyond any member of the committee of itizens, or any other member of the council committee, demanded or considered it possi- ble to secure. In_addition to the release of $150,000 viaduet bondsyoted by the people, the Union Pacific company. by the settle ment 1 proposed, which pprozed by the council, was to convey to the city the disputed land, known as the “Winspear Trinngle, with its accretions, except its hundred-foot right-of-way to Iast Omaha, and was “also to' convey to the city Dblocks L, M, N, O and P along the river fyont, which, with the Winspear Triangle compris i worth today ).000 and w pectively to the city of Omaha £1.000,000.

[n other words, to sum the whole matter up, in addition to certain ad- jacent streets and alleys which are of no prac- tical use to the city and cannot be occupied for travel, the city wasto convey to the railroad company what it already possesses, and which it can continue to occupy until the end of time the same us it has done for th past twonty-five years, In place of the dec to the railroad company being uncondi- tional, as Mr. Howe would have the people believe, the deed for the depot grounds was to be conditioned that the said grounds should be used only for depot and railwa purposes, and the deed for the shop grounds was to be conditioned that the same should be used and occupied as shop grounds, both of id deeds to contain conditions for reversion as woald fully protect the city. These provisions, 1 contend, re both substantial and desirabie, and would fully protect the city in making the deeds. The principal objection of Mr. Howe to consummating the proposed settlement is that the deeds fuil to contain a certain other coudition which was inserted in the ders trustee deed made in 1872, This condi- tion is as follows: 1t under proper rules for their regula- tion, to be prescribed by said party of the first part, the trains, cars and engines of all railroads now or hereafter running into or out of Omaha and Council Blufts shall have unobstructed access and transit to, and over said briags nd its approaches, and such ads shall have the right to take or cause to be taken their trains, cars and engines reight and engers over and bridge and its approaches at compensation, without discrimi- nation, preference, hindrance or delay; pro- vided, however, that the Union Pacific Rail- road company shall in all have the op- tion of substituting its own engines for those of other roads in the operation of its said bridge, receiving reasonable compensation thi As will be observed from the given, the above condition has been in ex- istence for over twenty years. It has thus far been absolutely valueless to the city of Omaha, and will so continue for all future pit By the terms of said proviso the trains of other railroads desiring the use of the Unipn Pacitic bridge and 1ts approaches must in all cases, if at the option of the Union Pacific company it so desires, be hauled by the engings gf the Union Pacific ‘ompany upon receiving reasonable compen- ation. The undisputed fact iis the Union ific Railroad company has never yet re- 1 to permit the trains of any other road to cross its bridge and approaches on the terms and conditions stated in the fore. going proviso. The fmct also exists, as stated before, that this proviso up to this time has been of no practical use or benetiv to the city, When thesituation of the Union Pacific depot grounds’is considered it 1s manifest that the mere right of other rail- nterini Council Bluffs to have trains hauled ovar the Uni Pacific bridge with Union Pacific engines at reason- able compensacion is of little or no value, Under this proviso the frains of other rail. roads could merely rurTito the Union Pacific depot grounds and batk out again, The situation is much the sdme as a woodchuck's hole, you have to come 04} the same way you go. in. Unless the railk8id companies” cen- tering at Council Bluffs can come into Omaha and get out westward as well as eastward, the right so to do is of little value to either such roads or to Omaha. The value of the agreement between the Milwaukee and Rock Island roads and the Union Pacific Railroad ¢ ronsists in the provision to go ucross Tenth street westward along the right of way of the Union Pacific so as to reach their own depot grounds and western connecting lines. The agreement referred to has been sustained by the United States circuit court and the court of appeals at St. Louis, and will undoubtedly be sustained by the United States supreme court, thus giv- ing to the Milwaukee and Rock Island roads, as well as 10 the city of Omaha, some sub- stantial benefits.
