hall.This
This cnmo about by Mayor IJomia vetoing
nn item of KM In the monthly appropriation
bill. The $500 had boon allowed by the coun
cil on account for Mr. Holndorft's work on
the building. Mr. IJemls , In explaining his
reasons.for vetoing the $ : > 00 Horn , stated that
Mr. Uotndorff had already received to apply
on his services a * architect something over
$15,000. Tlio mayor believed that no further
payments slioulil bo made to him uutll It
was definitely determined how much was
duo him.
"It Is n question , " the riayor said ,
"whether Mr. JJolndorff Is not. responsible
for some of the numerous mistakes that have
been made in connection with llio construc
tion of the city hall. "
Among other changes mentioned was the
one concerning the stops at the main ontrnnco
on Knrnam street. Mr. HomU said that at
the present time ho wns not prepared to say
whether Mr. Hemdorft was wholly responsi
ble for the mlslnkos , but ho contended that
the responsibility for the errors should bo
located somewhere.
President Davit , as well as others , In voting
ing on the question , stated that the architect
was not responsible for the nilstulioi , If any ,
as the city had accepted Mr. Bolndorfl's '
plans and ho had constructed the building
accordingly. The mayor's vote was not sus
tained , and Mr. ISoludorft will bo allowed his
WOO.
Mr. llriiiilorfV Milken u Stntnmuiit.
The accusations evidently did not sot well
with Mr. Uelndorff , who was present at the
meeting , for ho Immediately rushed to hU
ofllco und soon returned with n communica
tion , saying that the statements intimating
that mistakes and blunders had been made
by him in the propiralion of the plans for
the hall were absolutely untrue. The city
bad not boon called upon to pay him ? !
extra for tiny mlstuUcs in the plans bccauso
none had been made. Ho further said that
there wcro about 1,000 duo him for work.
Ho reijuoiU'd an early investigation.
The matter was referred to the Hoard of
Public Works and the city attnrnoy.
Relative to the resolution authorizing the
library board to proceed with the construc
tion of the library building. Mayor Bomls
vetoed the measure. The mayor said that ho
had no objection to the library board select
ing plans for the building , subject to the ap
proval Of the council , which , under thn law ,
must make a proper contract for such con
struction. In order that It might bo done
legally , tlio mayor thought the plans should
bo approved and the contract made by the
mayor and council. After thU was dotio ho
bttd no objection to the board supervising the
construction of the building.
The mayor recommended that an ordmanco
bq passed at an early day carrying out the
provisions of section 39 of the city charter.
Councilman Lowry stated that the mayor's
vote should bo sustained or there might bo a
cloud thrown upon the library bonds. VVhon
the question was put to a vote the veto was
sustained.
The mayor in another communication
stated that ho had unproved a number of
contracts , resolutions and ordinances which
were recently passed.
The mayor returned without his approval
the ordinance ordering the repaying of that
part of Leavonworth street between Six
teenth street ni.d Twenty-ninth tivonuo , for
the reason that the ordinance did not pro
vide for tlio street railway company to re-
pave between the tracks and for the space of
twclvo Inches ouUida iho rails , as required
by law.
An Opinion from tlio City Attorney.
The following opinion of Cltv Attorney
Con null was submitted with the vote :
TOTIIK llONOUAIU.K TUB OlTV Co'INCII , OK
TIIK t'lTV OK OMAHA : Gentlemen In rnsponso
to the i ( 'tine.- , l of your honorable body , cullIng -
Ing upon me ( or my opinion regarding the
amount of paving required lobe done by the
si i cot r.i I w.iys . owning street railway tracks
on tin' street , ordered to bo paved. I have the
honor to report that In uiy opinion all street
lallwuy companies owning trucks on any
Mroolnrdoiuil paved can bo reijnlrod to puvc
not only the space hetuoen llio rails , but
also llio space between the tracks and an ad
ditional bpaco of twelve Indies ontslUo of tlio
Otlls do rails of the ontslilo trncl.H.
It lias bipeii claimed that until the 1st of
January , It-KI , btreet railway companies could
only bo required to pa > o between their rails.
This cla in Is made under llio supposed
ainumlmunt to the charter by the loKlalaturo
in Ib'JI. At the lust legislature , suction TO ut
the charter , which rolutps to paving by street
railway companies , was attempted to ho
nimmdud by extending the tlinu when the
htioot railway companies could bo required
to pave between thulr tracks and a sp.tco of
twelve Inches outside thereof In addition to
tlio space between the rails , from January 1 ,
IbUI. to January I , 18'ft. ' UN my opinion ,
however , that tillsiittomutoJ amendment was
not legally imssod and that section TO of thu
charter , as 11 exists In the compilation of 18'JO ' ,
Is still In forco.
I havecaturnlly examined the session laws
of IHlil and llnil thai suction 70 appears In thu
body of Ihu net amending vorlnln sections of
thu charier , but. deus not appear In the tltlu
of said act or In Its rcpuallnx c'lansu. It has
bcun expressly decided by your supreme court
that nosoutloii ofuny act can lie changed or
amended nnloss the sumo Is referred to In thu
tltlu ol Iho amendatory act ami the section as
previously oxlstIna Is repealed. In my opin
ion tint oil v lias tliu clour and just right to ro-
qnlro all strii'jt ' railway companies lo pave or
lopavu , as llio ease may be , at thulr own cost ,
not only tliospuco Iwtwcun the UlfTnruiit rails
but also thu spucu between thu tracks and
twelve * Inches outsldu thereof , This applies
uotoiuy Jo n.aln trucks , but to sldotiaolcs ,
crossings ana turnouts as woll.
The opinion was placed on llio and the
nmvoc'a ' veto was sustained.
Mayor H'-rais made the following appoint
ments , which were conilrmud : 11 , L. Kamao-
clottl , city veterinary surgeon : John Spoorl ,

to Mr. Council , who , In reporting
upon it , said it wat impossible for him to
pitiparo u now moasuo as instructed by the
council , as chapter 40 of the compiled ordl-
iinncos of IS'.H ) . untltlod "Market House and
Market I'lnco" was sufllcient to allow any
prlvato person or corporation to construct a
market house , if desired , in the city. Ho
thought the provisions In that clause were
reasonable. Those contained in tbo proposed
now ordinance to him worn unreasonable.
Ha thoutfliltlmt chapter 40 should remain and
that at the curliest time practicable the city
should provldo foronuconstruct IU own mar-

Butilatlon wcro given bonuses to get

Intcmtatn llrhlgu anil ICiillrimil Company.
John It. Webster , attorney for the Inter
state Ilridgo and Street Uaihvay company ,
submitted n prnprositlon lo gra'nt a bonus
for the building of a bridge and terminal
railroad through Omaha. It was stated that
the company had already procured a charter ,
and that the plans and specifications for a
bndgo from East Oinubn over the Missouri
river had been completed and approved bv
the secretary of war. Surveys for a terminal
railroad ftom the bridge to South Omaha
have uccn made and a route selected which
Is to n largo extent the same
as that of the Nebraska Central
Kallriad company. Upon this and other
preliminary work of the Interstate Hndco
ni.il Street Hallway company has expended ,
it claims , a largo amount of labor and money ,
and tins nearly completed arrangements for
the construction of the road without asking
a bonus of either Omaha or Douglus county.
Under these circumstances the company
asked that a short delay bo made bofora the
council takes action on the proposition sub
mitted bv the Nobr.iska Central until cer
tain amendments could bo submitted , which
would bo somewhat as follows :
I'lrst That the aid , it anv is granted , shall
bu not to the IS'uhrnska Central or any other
particular company , but. that It shrill bo
ler.intcd In cenor.U turins to any party who
will comply with the terms of Iho irrant. und
bu pnvahlo to the first company which will
irlvu to the count v a good and sulllclent bond
In tlin sum of ? .VXUu ) , that the company will
construct thu hrldiu and terminal facilities
for which the bonus is nlvcn within the tlinu
prescribed.
Second That the amoiintof aid to be voted
shall bo icdncnd to Viilt.WU In all : iJ.'W.uuo from
the cltv and $ . ' . " > ) , IKIU from thu county.
Third -That thu brldKU. having Its west end
In Douglas county , may bu located anywhere
bet cen thu present Donzlas street brldgo
and thu north boundary of East Omaha.
Fourth That thu route Tor thu terminal
line through Omaha shall u.Mund from the
brldco to onth Omaha , aim may bu any
where. within thu prosunt Missouri t'aulllu
licit line.
In regard to thcso amendments tha follow
ing was submitted :
If Omaha really wants the hrldso and ter
minal line Is It wlso to tlu up so larju a sub
sidy to onu company fur three years ? The
uiructof such action must hu to b-tr out , all
ether parties ( luring ilmtilmu. Thus our lib
erality may bo the vury moans of defeating
llio object for which It isgrantol. The pro
posed ainundiiiOnt can do no harm to thu No-
hraska Central company. If that company Is
piopured to curry out its part it will surely
bu in its power to file the bond suggested and
thnsiiilvo. the city assnr.mco that our loir.
hopud foi emancipation from llm Union I'a-
cillu monopoly Is about to hu realised.
If the .Nebraska C'untral bo nn.ihlu to carry
tosueee.vs Its proscnt uxpuctallnns. the pio-
pose'l amendment will leave thu matter in
stiuh shapu that some other company can take
It up without further action on the part of
Iho city.
So liirito a honiivwill ho a uruat Inducement
to capitalists lo Invest In such an enterprise.
and It Is hulloNod will bo elTcutlvo In seunrin : :
the improvements for which It Is granted If
It Is In such shape that advantage can ho
taken of It. On the nthor hand , If It Is granted
uxclnsiviily to the Nebraska Central company
and that company should , through some ac
cident with whicli tollKhtolT nil other parties.
It Is convudud by all dlsinlurcstud parties
that Oiniilia needs an indopundunl brldgo and
terminal railroad. Hcg.irdlni ; thu location of
that hridgo there mav bn soma dllTurunco of
opinion , und wu submit that tno great bulk of
thu tr.illlu for Omaha will ho In her heavy
manufactories. It is those wo dcslru to build
up. The prosperity of the city iloponds on
icciirlng thnin. Whurouau thuy ho located ?
Curtulnly not on the expensive lots of the
city , duvotcd to mercantile business and
dwellings. It must bo conceded that thu
f iituiu homo of Omaha factories will hu on the
level and cheaper lands northeast of thu
city , and a brldgu M ) located that
from It tialllc cannot roachlhc.su lands will
not hu as valuable as onu from which a rail
road will run through thulr midst.
UcgardlnK the amount of the bonus , wo
submit tliat IVHWU is certainly a vury larsu
sum and ought to Inducu thu building of thu
brlduo and line. As to thn route lliroiish
Omaha. It Is Immaterial to Ihu olty or county
through Just what lots or blocks thu line shall

clo has been discovered , but owing lo the
prompt action of thn pollco It Is believed that
nil danger for the tlmo bolng Is nvcrtcd. It
Is no longer n secret Hint Vcne/.ucla's chief

or the executive castle , have bcon redouolod
nnd ovcry possible precaution has boon taken
to protect tbo president's ilfo , but the throwIng -
Ing of the dynamite boi.ib the other day
frightened the government so much that it
has not yet recovered Us equanimity. r\ot
only has the administration to fear Its ene
mies In the Hold , but nlsn in
ihls cltv , for here the revolutionists
hnvo made considerable headway. Their
emissaries have succosstullv Invaded the
ranks of the pollco force of Caracas , upon
whoso loyalty Iho administration has so
strongly relied , mid it h said that many of
the pollco have deserted nnd gone over to Iho
insurgents.
Kuinors til .Mure I'lotx.
Humors of plots are heard on every .side.
No ono would Lo surprised to hoar tbat
President Palaclo had been assassinated ,
He spends mo.it of his tlmo In his mansion
conferring with his cabinet. Thn friends of
the supreme court judges who hnvo boon Im
prisoned by his orders are vorv Indignant nt
what they charactcri/.o as dictatorial and
tyrannical measures. Pnlanlo'.s high handed
methods , Instead of subduing have Increased
thu bitterness entertained aualnst him.
CiPiioral Crespo , leader of the insurgents ,
continues In thu meantime to receive adhe
sions to his rnnks from nil juris of the repub
lic. Among his forces are imich of the host
lighting material of the country. With oven
numbers nny conlllct between his men and
the government would , ton certainty , result
in n triumph of the former. Reports from
the different states i ml lento the rapid crowth
of the Insurrection. Dnrquosimoto , Core , Los
Andes and Xulia hnvo declared in favor of
Crespo. Other states , it is believed , will
follow their example. Hnrmiojiinoto has n
population of over 150,000. Us capital of the
hamo nnmo has a population of ever 30,000
und is KM mlloi southwest of Caracas.
Advantages ot tlin liiKiirgonlH.
Core Is the capital of the state of Folcen
and has a population of 10,000 nnu s near the
ben , affording the revolutionists n irooJ place
for landing their armj nnd ammunition. Los
Andes has a population of iV.Ti.OOO nnd X.ulia
bus (50,000 ( inhabitants. Muracalbi H the
capital of tbo latter slate. The bills adjacent
to Curabobo nro occupied bv the followers of
Crespo. Caracas contains anumbcrof armed
revolutionists awaiting nn opportunity to
come out boldly ngalnst the government.
The authorities have been reduced to their
last extremity and are collecting custom
duties on sixty-day drafts. Tno outlook is
certainly very dark. Palncio seems to be
losing ground ovcry day nnd Crespo's forces
grow stronger nnd'stronger. . There is no
concealing the fact that the government is
very much alarmed at the prospects. Re
ports from the headqunrters of the insur
gents are to the effect that the greatest
activity prevails there nnd that the indica
tions are that n move is to bo made at an
early duto in tbo direction of Caracas.

Mumin , April 5. After his arrest Del
Rocho was examined last night nt the min
istry of the intnrlor. Ho wns very violent
and instead of replying to the questions put
to him , he fought and pounded ' .his list on
the table. Tbo lancuago used was the usual
rant indulged in by tbo mono ! his class. Ho
denounced all forms of government ns un
just , nnd dcclnrcd iu substnnco that every
man should bo allowed to follow his own in
clinations , witli no regard to others nnd that
the anarchists sought to attain this
end by the use of dynamite. The
defense the prisoners made today be
fore the r.agistrato was ludicrous. Today
bolh of them protested , In the fnco of
their previous statements , that they were
perfectly innocent of any attempt to destroy
eilherllfoor properly. Del Koctio denied
any knowledge of the' bomb that had been
found in his possession , aim this declaration
was inudo puspito the fact that papers found
on the prisoners showed that they were en-
paced in a conspiracy to blow tno Chamber
of Deputies , the state chamber , the royal
palaco. the Bank of Spain UIK ! other public
buildings up.
Fclrerra was not so professedly Ignorant
ns his companion. Ho admitted thai ho know
ho wns cnrryinc n bomb , but denied nny
criminal intent. This was the only defense
the prisoners made , and oven the magistrate
was compelled to smile at the idea that such
n dofon.se could avail anything In the face of
the overwhelming evidence ngalnst them.
The prisoners wcro hold for trial.
Upon tbo conclusion of evidence the pollco
mad'i n mid on nn anarchists' club nnd ar
rested twelve of Its members. They nlso
seized n lot of documents nnd rod und black
flags. Among the things that foil into the
hands of Iho police wcro u number of dis
