LINCOLN, April 26.—(Special to The Bee.) o —The West O street v Bur- lington and Unfon Pacific tracks 1s 8o nearly complated that the final estimates are nearly aduct over the ready for eity council. The viaduct presents a graceful appearance and s well and compactly built. It has been presentation to the under way about a year, and had it not i beon for delays enforced by property owners 4 4t would have been completed some time since, Inasmuch as the work is one in which 1 the people of Lincoln take considerable pride, the following figures concerning the struc- ture will be of interest: Length, pproach, 117 feet; length 4 fron work, 1,745 feet; length west approach, 316 feet; total length, 2,178 feet; number spans, 35; length longest span, 132 feet; width of roadway, 25 feot; two sidewalks, 6 feet cach; roadways of approaches to be paved with brick; roadway on fron work to be paved with S-inch pine block; one street cast raflway track on north side of roadway pounds of metal in viaduct, 1,465,000; feet of lumber to be used, 377,000; carrying capac- ity, 100 pounds to square foot of surface.

POSER FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, W that the viaduct is so nearly com- ted the city council is confronted by a tion that assumes serious proportions. the contract with the railroad com- the latter advanced all the money ed to complete the structure as well as to pay damages to abutting prop owners, with the proviso that the final mates will be paid by the eity. The estimates now amoun to about and the city has no meang to pay que Under panic them, The work and material have been furnished and there is hardly any by which the eity can evade immediate payment. It fis something of a problem for the city council to solve, and the prediction is freely made that the emergency can oniy be met by the submission of another bond proposition. A great many citizens are claiming now that the attorneys who drew the contract be- tween the railroad and the city were very exacting in looking after the Interests of the railroads, while those of the city were iost sight of. The matter will be the sub- ject of ‘an exceedingly lively discussion when It comes up in the city council, as it must within a short time. HE ADVOCATED BAYONETS. ‘The notorious Bob McReynolds, whose re- cent letter to Governor Waite adyising the secession of all the states west of the Mis- o sourl river threw the eastern editors into a panic, was in the city last night and took advantage of a gathering of several hundred men at the federal building to make one of his celebrated incendiary specches. He ad- vised the Commonwealers to camp on the arsenal grounds at Washington, and after raiding the arsenal to surround congress and give that body just twelve hours to pa needed laws for the benefit of the peopl “If they don't do it in twelve hours, give *em hell,” yelled McReynolds. He asked the crowd 1f they sympathized with the Coxey fdea and then said that unless the armies went to Washington with their demands in one hand and the bayonet in the other they might as well stay at home. His remarks were listened to in perfect silence. The friends of the Industrial army are today doing evérything possible to counteract the sentiments expressed by McReynolds. They claim he was not invited ta speak and that he was sent to the meeting to discredit hon- est laboring men who had taken up the movement in earnest.

STREET PARADE, SPEECHES AND DANCE Something About tho History of the Fra- ternity In Americn—Three-Quarters of a Century of Rapid Progress —One Million Members. Seventy-five years ago yesterday the first lodge of 0dd Fellows was instituted in America, and in commemoration of that event tke Odd Fellows of Omaha turned out in full force last night and carried out a program of literary and soclal features, which was preceded by a street parade of all the local lodges. From a lodge of five persons which was in- stituted in Baltimore on April 26, 1819, in the Seven Stars inn, this order of friendship, love and truth, represented by three golden links, has grown until lodges exist in every clvilized country. Thomas Wildy, John Welch, Richard Marley, Augustus Mathiot, John Boyd and J. P. Entwisle organized the first lodge, which became known as Washington lodge' No. 1. The growth of 0dd Fellowship since then has been marvelous, and its mem- bers are now numbered by the hundreds of thousands. The local lodges assembled at on the corner of Fourteenth and Dodge streets about 7 o'clock la: evening, and after forming in line paraded to Douglas, down Douglas to Tenth, thence to Farnam, to Fifteenth, north to Cass, west to Six- teenth, south to Farnam, west to Eighteenth, south to Harney and then to Washington hall, where a couple of short speeches were made, "and then the room was cicared for dancing, which continued until a late hour. -ade was headed by Colonel Nichols, past commander of the Department of the Platte, and N. B. Heim, major C. C. G., third division, Mississippi Patriotic Militants. They were followed by Ezra Millard canton, justavus Adolphus canton, Dannebrog lodge No. 216, Wasa No. 183, South Omaha, Goo rich No. 144, State No. 10, Allemanen 8, Omaba, No. 2. After tlie parads the 0dd Fellows and their friends filled Washington hall and were wel- ymed by James L. Alvison in a brief speech, he speech of general welcome was deliy-red by E. P. Smith, who congratulated the members on the substantial growth of the order, and spoke of the manner in which the order’ had originated. Owing to inability to get a plano into the hall the solo which Miss J. Alvison was to have given had to be omitted, much to the regret of her friends Judge Felker then gave a brief review of the history of 0dd Fellowship. One of the first lodges was instituted in Manchester England, in 1812, Then shortly afterward the Washington lodge was instituted in this country. There are now 1,000,000 members of the lodge in the world and between 700,- 000 and 800,000 of this number belong to American lodges. In 1525 the first grand their hall lodge met in this country, and in 1842 Ameri- can lodges declared themselves separated from the lodges in England, and became known as the Independent Order of Odd Fel- lows. In 1851 the first lodge of Rebekahs was organized as an auxillary to the Odd Fellows. Their membership includes wives and daughters of 0dd Fellows. The speaker Aid tribute to Rutherford B. Hayes as one of the grandest of Odd Fellows Mrs. W. 8. Felker recited the poem, “Three Links,”” and was heartily applauded. Then dancing was commenc:d.

ENGLAND AND GERMANY BOTH WANT HER Natives of the Islands Aro Quiet, Although the Aana Tribo Refuses to D) Treaty Powers Said to Be Corresponden (Copyrighted 1894 by the Assoclated Press.) MELBOURNE, Victoria, April 26.—Ad- vices received here today from the Samoan Islands, dated April 19, say there has been no further outbreak upon the part of the na- tives who have recently been causing so much trouble to the authorities. The Aana natives, however, still decline to give up their arms in accordance with the agreement arrived at between them and the foreign consuls who have been acting as mediators. The natives base their refu to disarm on the fact that they are st threatened by the warriors of the govern- ment, claiming to apprehend an attack it they relinquish their weapons. The representative of the French govern- ment at Samoa, on behalf of the Irench mission, has filed a claim for damages, cf ing that the French schools and the property of the mission were destroyed by the gov- ernment troops durlng the recent outbreak. A SECRET UNDERSTANDINC To all appe some seeret understand- ing exists between Great Britain and Ge: many regarding tho Samoan islands and this understanding includes the United Stat A per:on in high authority her: who was qQuestion by a reporter of the Associated press regarding the attitude of England and Germany in the attempt being made by New Zealand to assume the administration of the Samoan islands stated today that the pro- tectorate movement upon the part of Great Britain was progressing with the sanction of the United States government, which is represented as caring nothing as to who manages Samoa, 8o long as the Tights of the United States under the Berlin treaty are continued. Color i3 given to this assertion by the United States ambassador, Hon. Thomas I Bayard, who, in an interview today spoke in the highest terms of Sir John Thurston, governor of the Fiji islands and British com missioner for the western Pacific, Mr. ard is quoted as saying: “The presence counsels of a man of such ability would, in my op'nion, offer a happy solution to the present difficulties. r. Bayard added at the same time that he had recefved no information on the sub- ject from his government, either In regard to any present negotiations between the United States, Great Britain and Germany, » to an impending conference sted in the Samoan or in referen of the three powers inter islands, AN OLD RESIDENT TAIL A gentleman who has just returned from Samoa and who 18 the oldest British resi- dent there, ns well as the owner of the har- bor of Pango-Pango, in an Interview this afternoon, confirmed the report that the British project of a protectorate over the Samoan islands was impending. gentle- man referred to also asserted that the United States would not obfect to this action on the part of Great Britain. The owner of the harbor of Pango-Pango also asserted th a_continuation of the preseni situation of affairs in Samoa was impossible, There was no government, he claimyd, and some of the most powerful chiefs of the islands had b sent to work in chalns on the highroads the American lawyer who Is chief justic referring to Chief Justice Henry Ide It is belleved here that Pango-Pange will be selected as the landing place of the proposed Pacific cable and as the junction of the branch lines to New Zealand and the Fiji islands.

The Herlin treaty, it is sald, never co templated more than ordinary commerelal r lations, and the stato of things, it 1s added, will naturally compel Great Britain, in the inte ts of the colonles, to insist upon & modification and readfustment which will not cause a lessening of United States and German rights under the treaty, The Best Shoes for tho Least Money.
