The county convention of the Pottawat- tamie republicans was held yesterday after- noon in the superior court room at the county court house, and in spite of the bad weather there was a good attendance from all parts of the county. The meeting was called to order at 2 o'clock by Chairman Hazelton of the county central committee, and Roscoe Barton of Knox township was chosen temporary chairman. L. C. Dale was elected temporary secretary. The following committees member being taken from each the county: were chosen, one district in Credentials Baird, J. 8. Norton, C. F.Lindell, C.

Bardsley, R. B. Wilson, ks, G L. Wilkinson, C. G. . M. Harl, B. E. Hart. The irregularities discovered in the count of votes cast at the last state election ed Pottawattamie county out of one to each convention, as the First of the Third and Sixth wards ot Council Bluffs, which had been thrown out at first, had after the issue of the official call been counted. Hazelton moved that in addition to the twenty-one delegates authorized Ly the call an extra delegate be chosen to each convention and that the delegation be instructed to bring the mat- ter before the sev 1 conventions and se- cure for Pottawattamie her due representa- tion. The motion was carried. The committees then retired to make up their report. After the report of the com- mittee on credentials had been adopted Frank Shinn of Carson was called upon for a speech, but declined, g that the condition of the country under the present democratic administration was such that there was no need of any speech, Mr. Preston of Avoca, a newcomer from Poweshelk county, made a few remarks, which were followed by the report of the committee on permanent organization. C. M. Harl was made permanent chairman and A. N. Lund secretary. Mr. Harl, on taking the chair, made a few remarks in his _characteristic manner, after which Frank Shinn, chalrman of the com- mitteo on resolutions, reported that no resolutions had been handed the committee and that the members of the committee had none of their own to offer. The report was adopted. C. G. Saunders moved that the delegates to the state convention be mstructed to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of Jacob Sims of Council Bluffs for the office of attorney general, The motion was unani- mously carried and Mr. Sims was called upon amid loud dpplause for a speech. He re- ferred to the stupidity of a few people as being responsible for the election of a de- scendant of Baslam's ass in 1884 and the de- feat of the pecrless Blaine, and eight years later he said, by the working of a gigantic confidence game, Cleveland was agaln put into the presidential chair and Benjamin Harrison was defeated, only to find himself twelve months later the greatest statesman of his time. The democratic party was de- nounced for its responsibility for shutting up the factories of the country and throwing thousands of workingmen out of employ- ment, and for its continually wavering pol- fey. ‘When he mentioned Tom Reed for the presidential chair in 1896 there was a dead calm, but the name of “the little Napoleon of Ohio” was greeted with enthusiastic cheers.

The election of a chairman of the central committee was postponed until the next con- ventlon. It is stated on the authority of some who claim to be posted in local politics that the delegation to the judicial convention is favor- able to Green rather than to Lewis, the present incumbent. At least ten of the twenty-two are Green men, and only three or four are known to be for Lewis. It is commonly understood that there will be practicaliy no opposition to the candidacy of Judge Smith and Judge Thornell. The Boston Store Parade.

CLOSE OF THE ENCAMPMENT, Woman's Relief Corps Installs Tts Ofcers for the Ensuing Year. Yesterday was the closing day of the Grand Army encampment, but the blaze of glory which was rather suddenly extin- guished by the wetting it recelved Wednes- day night did not revive. The morning was occupled with a business meeting, at which no business was transacted of any special public importavcs, and in the after- noon the veterans ccmmenced to leave for their homes, There was a great exodus on every train, and the last of the visitors will probably be gone by the time this morn- ing's trains have left the city. To all ap- pearances the encampment has been a source of pleasure both to the entertained and the entertainers, The police had very little trou- ble in keeping order, and there were fewer acts of lawlessness perpetrated than is usu- ally the case where so large a crowd fs turned loose in the city. The veterans themselves were exceedingly orderly in their actions, and it is to be doubted if a of them knew that the order of the commit- tee requiring the banner “Welcome, Com- rades,” to be taken down from in front of the city jail, was not complied with. At the meeting of the Woman's Rellef corps vesterday morning a delegation was present from Crocker corps of Des Molnes, and its leader, Mrs. Mitchell, presented to Mrs. Evans a beautiful bouquet with a few words of congratulation upon her re-election and commendation of work in the past year. Mrs, Dunn also presented Mrs. Evans a dainty pin, the insignia of office of com- pany Q, thereby promoting her from the ranks to the office of fourth corporal. Mrs. Grifiiths, delegate at large to the last encampment at Indianapolis, read a very interesting report of the proceedings. During the afternoon session Commander Phil Schaller of the Grand Army Introduced the new department commander, George E. Newman, who made a few remarks and pledged the relief corps the hearty support and co-operation of the Grand Army of Towa. The convention adjourned at 6 o'clock until the evening session, when the officers were installed, in the presence of a large audience of members and outsiders. The following is a list of the officers elected: President, E..Flora Evans of Clinto senior vice, Eleanor Drew of Council Bluffs junior vice, Adelaide Ballard of Hull; depart- ment treasurer, Nannie B. Howe of Des Moines; chaplain, Aunt Beckey Young of Des Moines; executive board, Mesdames Grif- fiths, Creighton, Detweiler, Rollins and Mur- phy; delegate at large, Mrs. Helen Longley of Waterloo. The encampment cost the city in the neighborhood of $1,090, and the committee had enough money on hand to pay the entire expenses and may have a little margin to g0 on.

An Interesting Ploco of Handlwork. Mrs. M. B. Ayres of 810 Thirteenth avenue, this city, is the owner of a very unique quilt. Its dimensions are about six by eight feet and it contains the names and autographs of 714 persons. It was made by the ladies of the Henry Dillon corps of the Woman's Relief corps and netted that organization $75. It is made up of small pleces of cloth, upon which the persons whose names appear have paid 10 cents for the privilege of writing their autographs. These names were written in lead pencil and were outlined in red by the members of the corps. 1t was voted to Mrs. Ayers, who has since secured the signatures of several notables, ameng the number being those of ex- Prosident Harrison and Mrs. Harrison. It also contains the autographs of Post Presi- dent Annie Wittenmeyer and Post Secretary Abble Lynch. Mrs. Evans, the department president, has received a silk block from each of the corps, giving the name of the corps sending it. There are enough of them to make two large quilts.

The park commissioners seem to have stood in with the cyclone whose tail end vis- ited Council Bluffs Wednesday evening. But very little damage was done to property, but there was hardly a tree in Bayliss park that did not show the ill effects of the wind. Great limbs, some of them a foot through, were broken off, and one or two trees were almost ruined by losing the greater part of their lmbs. Where the stand-in with his cycloneship comes in, however, is in the fact that nothing was done excepting what the park commissioners were intending to do themselves as soon as they cold get to it. Not a tree was ruined but what had already been marked for the slaughter, and no more limbs were taken out than should have been removed for the good of the grass growing beneath, Cutting & New Channel, For the past two weeks the “Big Muddy"” has been making a big cut into the farms along its banks south of town, but while it has taken some big slices they are small compared to the big cuts T.

JUNE 22, 1894, [IT 1S AN INTRICATE QUESTION ] Some of the Difffioutes that Surround a @rowing Finducial Problem, PACIFIC ROADS' DEBT TO THE GOVERNMENT Something About the Different Behemes Now Before Cobgress and Thelr Chances of Passage — Deo- Iayed by the Tariff, WASHINGTON, Jane' 21.—Few more In- tricate and difficult problems have ever faced congress than the settlement of the financlal arrangements of the Pacific rail- roads which has engaged the attention of committees of the house and senate this session. Two propositions have been ad- vanced and more or less discussed, the priveipal a funding plan by which the status of the Pacific debts Is readjusted, the government assuming all,the bonded Indebtedness of the companies and requiring graded payments extending over a time varying in the different bills from fifty to 125 years; the secondary plan contemplates proceedings in the courts against the in- dividual stockholders or their estates, under the California law, which makes them in- dividually responsible for the debts of the road. On the other hand Is proposed a resort to foreclosure proceedings under the terms of the charters by which the govern- ment would secure control of the property and either sell or manage it after the first mortgage had been satisfied. For the first plan the chairman of the house committee, Representative Reilly of Pepnsylvania, stands sponsor. Representa- tives Boatner of Louisiana and Clark of Missourl have Introduced propositions em- bodying the second, while the California members, Geary and Maguire, have favored the last, also advocating that the Hopkins, Stanford and Crocker estates and President C. P. Huntington of the Central Pacific should be held responsible for their handling of the government subsidies so far as Is practicable. One objection to the funding plan which some members consider fatal is that the charter of the Central Pacific expires within twenty years. They hold that the govern- ment cannot make any arrangement with a corporation for a longer term of years than the Mfe of the body, so that a fifty-year funding would be impossible according to their views. Mr. Huntington has held out the contention that his company would be able to meet its obligations of interest and semi-annual payments upon the principal, but the opponents of this plan argue that it gives the government no greater assurance of recovering its claims, while it bars it from resorting to any sum- mary methods of forclosing for fts debt, although the funding bills do contain a clause authorizing the government to take possession when there Is a default in pay- ment. As for the proceedings against stock- holders under the California law some un- certainties in regard to the application of that law have been suggested, while the fact that the Hopkins and Crocker estates have been distributed presents complica- tions, not taking into consideration the senti- ment agalnst menacing the endowment funds of the Stanford uniyersity. Although the funding plan has in the house committee been narrowed to a fifty-year term and a 8 per cent rate of Interest been decided upon, the success of that plan is by no means assured. SIx members of the house committee of fifteen, are known to be opposed to any funding scheme, while others are un- certain, Altogether the prospect for any solution of the Pacific railroad question by this congress is not considered particularly bright. i Senator Brice, chajrmitn of the senate com- mittee on Pacific Yaflroads, says that the tariff bill has prevented the consideration of the Pacific funding bills that have been sent to that committee. ‘‘There is a dis- position in both sensta’ and house,” said Senator Brice; “to pass some kind of a funding bill. In the house there have been hearings with an effost to get at the facts. The trouble now Is that no one can realize the way in which the earnings of the Union Pacific have been decreased and the reduction that Is still going on. A funding bill must be made on the basis of the business of the road. It is quite likely that it will be nec- essary for the committees of congress to go over the roads and the books of the com- pany in order to get at all the facts. Owing to the time taken by the tariff bill and the way in which the appropriation bills will crowd the business of the senate, and the general desire to get through the pressing business, it Is possible that the consideration of the Pacific funding bills cannot be reached during this session. The desire seems to bo to get a bill that will secure the govern- ment lien, and I think that is possible. 1 won't say that it will extend the time 100 years, or even seventy-flve years, but some adjustment will be made.” IN DANGER OF DRFEITURE. Railroads Liable to Have to Surrender Lands to the Government, WASHINGTON, June 21.—Of considerable interest to western and southern railroad men, as well as to settlers along railroad lines, is a bill Introduced by Representative McRae of Arkansas, which the committee on public lands has under consideration. The measure provides for a forfeiture to the United States of all land grants to the rail- roads, opposite the portion of the lines as originally planned, which were not structed and completed within the stipulated in the granting acts. S A total of 155,604,994 acres of public lands were dlsposed of in this way. In most of the earlier grants a quantity not exceeding 120 sections of land included within a length of twenty miles of road, under the condition that unless the road was completed within some specified time, generally ten years, no further sales should be made and all unsold lands chould revert to the government. Whenever this was extended for completing roads which had land grants, as congress was frequently called upon to do, some simi- lar provision was pliced In the supple- mentary acts. Mr. McRae holds that it has been the only vurpose of congress to make the time within which railroads should be completed an es- sential to government aid and that after the period of time had elapsed there was no power to make sales except of the lands as earned by building roads within the specified periods. ~ He thinks that in many instances construction of land grant roads has been purposely delayed wmtll the surrounding country had becomeso thickly populated that they might have: been built without aid. Under the practice “of the Interior de- partment in permitting lands to be with- drawn as soon as maps were filed nothing was lost to the rallroads; they had no taxes to pay and the land wab increasing in value. Some of the grantssibw called in question were made nearly:forty years ago, thirty years have elapsed since forfeitures were made, according to the acts, yet within a few years these roadsihave been carried to completion, w Twenty-five rallroads corporations are affected by this bilkw It 18 estimated by the Interior department that they have failed to build 4,698 mbles of road according to the terms of thetr charters and that their land holdings which (would be forfeited amount to 64,323,000 ‘acres. The Northern Pacific would be compelled to forfeit 39,458, 000 acres if the bill pussed; the Southern con- time Pacific, 4,740,000; the Oregon & California, 2,084,000; the California & Oregon, 1,740,000 the St Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba, 1,118,000; the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, 1,446,000, and other roads would lose smaller holdin, Evans Is Not Yet Satisfled, NEW YORK, June 21.—John Evans, a shareholder in the Unlon Pacific, Denver & Guit company, has begun an action in the supreme court against that company, the Union Paclfic Railway company, the Central Trust company, the American Loan and Trust company and the Mercantile Trust company to compel an accounting from the Union Pgcific company of securities to th amount of over $100,000,000. Evans fea the bonds RQW, 1o the bands of the trusteeq may be sold for nonpayment of Interest and he therefore asks for an Injunction restrain- ing such eales and an accounting. ATCHISON REORGANIZATION, - . Plan Contemplates the Sale of the Prop. erty Under the Mortgages. NEW YORK, June 21.—The plan of reor- ganization of the Atchison has been sub- mitted by the reorganization committee. The plan contemplates foreclosure either under the general mortgage dated October 15, 1889, or under the second mortgage dated May 1, 1892, and sccuring the so-called A and B bonds, and the formation by the purchasers at such sale of a new comp which will be freed from all the Mbligations of the present company, except such as are prior to the mortgage foreclosed or are assumed by the new company. 1f foreclosure is had under the general gmortgage the new company will provide fof the payment of the past due interest on the general mort- sage, and will f{ssuo new bonds to the holders of the general mortgage, such bonds to have the same lien and to be the same in terms as the old bonds. Under the second mortgage the company will provide for all past due interest and will also provide for the principal and interest of such bonds, The company will issue $102 000,000 of stock.

PULLMAN HAS FIVE DAYS TO SETTLE, American Railway Unlon Lays Down the Law to Sir Georgo. CHICAGO, June 21.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.) — Unless the Pullman company agrees to arbitrate its differences with its men within five days a boycott will be put on its cars wherever the American Railway Union is powerful enough to stop them. This is the positive assertion made tonight by Eugene V. Debs and George W.*Howard, president and vice president respectively of the organization with which the Pullman strikers have connected themselves. Late this afterncon Chairman Heathcoate at Pull- man came forward and stated that they had but $1,500 in the relief fund, and the daily demand upon it exceeds $300. He thought it not best to wait before appealing to the organization as a whole for aid, which must sooner or later be given. The announcement roused the convention in an instant, and a vote to assess every member of the organiza- tion 10 cents per week was carried with a whoop. Vice President Howard requested every delegate present to telegraph to his local union immediately for instructions regard- ing a boycott upon the Pullman cars. Not less than 200 of the representatives had al- ready heard from their constituents, he said, and ‘in every case it had been favorable to immediate action in cutting oft the cars, President Debs followed, urging-immediate action, saying that the organization would never be stronger for such purpose. A committee of five was thereupon ap- pointed to report back to the convention, It was learned tonight that the committee will report tomorrow, favoring giving Pullman five days to arbitrate, Debs says the con- vention will adopt the report unanimously. FREIGHT RATES ADVANCED, Westbound Merchandise Rates from Chicago Put Up a Notch, KANSAS CITY, June 21.—It has just leaked out here that the westbound mer- chandise rates from Chicago and the Missis- sippl to the Missouri river and westward are to be advanced all along the line July 1. The advance was decided upon at a meeting of the traffic managers in St. Louls, but it was agreed to keep the matter qui The fol- lowing is the scale of advances: Class 1 and class 2, 5 cents per hundred welght; class 3, 8 cents; classes 4, 5, A, B, C and D, 2 cents. There will be no advance on class B. This will put the rates higher than they have been in five years in this ter- ritory. —_— Balloon nightly at 8, Courtland. —_— Stevenson's Indisposition O WASHINGTO y Temporary.
