JACKSONVILLE , Jan. 10. Manager Bowdon's errand in Tallahassee was the principal sub ject of conversation among the followers of the Corbott-Mltchcll contest today ; Al though dispatches this afternoon announced that his interview with Governor Mitchell was of a private nature , still the statement that the situation is unchanged gives friends of the Duval club reason to nope nothing was developed averse to thu interests of the club. Tonight a crcat crowd of citizens thronged Metropolitan hall , called thcro to protest against the intended action of Governor Mitchell in calling out the militia to prevent - vent the Corbett-Mitchcll contest. ' Speeches were made of ufiery nature' , some of the most prominent men in the city responding to calls from rtho audience. After three of the city councilmcn had spo ken , saying they protested moro against the insult offered thecltv a a law-abiding city than against the anticipated stopping of the contest , tha following resolutions wcro In troduced and adopted umiast great applause and niw.li excitement : Whereas ; It It currently reported on the streets of Jacksonville" that Uon. H. L.

Wliorqas , , Wo doom the massing of troops In this city unwarranted by law and a serious ro- llcctlon upon the character of our citizens and a Horlons detriment to tho- business Interests ot the city ; therefore , thecltyof Jacksonville and Duval county , In muss moating uasumbled. pursuant to a call of u largo number of our eminent business men , do resolve its follows : First \Vo earnestly protest against threatened massing of troopa in our city , wo having ample confidence In the civil local authorities and their ability fully'to preserve the uonco and maintain , thu dignity of thLs city and county , Second That wo.

Third That wo earnestly protest against such rumored action on the pirt of the gov ernor and must respectfully request that ho desist therefrom and leuvo the conduct and guidance thereof to thu civil law authorities. Fourth That u copy of these resolutions bo Hont the governor. Then the meeting adjourned , From sentiments expressed by i the promi nent citizens after the meeting it scorns should the military be ordered out serious trouble will certainly follow. Ono man , who Is well known at the Florida hai- , expressed himself us follows : "It Governor Mitchell orders out the mill- tla to supprnss an anticipated riot ho will , instead , precipitate a riot us sure as I stand on my feat this moment. If the troops come to Jacksonville January 23 murder will' bo done ana Governor Mitchell will ' bo respon sible for it. " < The crowd was worksd up to o high pitch of excitement and throats were frequently heard Mint the first attempt by the military woulo result la bloodshed.

AGREEMENT WILL-BE REACHED TODAY tip 11 Canadian i'ncino to lie Olvon Admntnccs Hint Will Cntno It to Cancel It * Contrnot 'Itldi1 ' tile Steam ship Company. CHICAGO , Jan. 10. ( Special Telegram to TUB BBH.J A doilnito settlement of trans continental rate troubles before twenty- four hours has elapsed Is now almost ns- Burcd. George Olds , general t radio manager of the Canadian Pacific , the rend which has proved the disturbing factor in all the efforts for nil agreement , arrived nt tbo Great Northern hotel this morning , and in a short time the representatives of three other big lines wcro at work Upon the Cana dian manager. No formal meeting is in progress , the railroad men merely holding informal discussions of the situation In their apartments. General Passenger Agent Homax of the Union Pacific said to Tan Ben correspond ent this aitbrnoon : "So far wo have been unable to reach an agreement with the Canadian Pacific. There will In all proba bility bo a conclusive agreement before to morrow evening. " If the terms should bo accepted by the Canadian road it will bo done with the understanding that Its- claims for differ entials on Pacific coast business 1mVo'boon abandoned , Tbo Great Northern , the North ern Pacific ana the Canadian Pacific will then endeavor to work in harmony. Somit Contracts Must He Oiuicolloil. The next step will be to Induce the Can adian road to cancel Its contracts with the Pacillc Coast Steamship company and dis continue Its water route from Victoria and Vancouver to San Franuisco. The Great Northern , Northern Pacific nnd Southern Pacific : combined will agree to furnish tbo Canadian road an alt rail route from Now Whatcom clear throuirh to San Francisco. They will further offer to haul a tourist car as far as Tacoma. T5ythls plan it is argued that the revenue of the Canadian on all rail business will amount to as much ns it now does on business sent via water from Van couver to San Francisco. , It is along this Una of procedure that all transcontinental roads hope to reach an agreement with the Canadian line which xvill prevent future demoralization of rates. There is hardly any doubt that tbo "Western Passenger association roads will ratify such an agreement , but it is Intimated that nn effort will bo made to bring the Union Pacific and the North Pacific coast lines into the immigrant clearing house agree ment before such ratification Is carried out. The situation is ono that would give the Chicago-St. Paul lines an opportunity to try to obtain any concessions which they might particularly desire. Whether they would gam them Is another question. K SANTA FE. Why the Company liiu Ifallcn Uclilnd in the I'ui-mv-iTt or Wanes. TOPEKA , Jan. 10. Treasurer Wilder of the Santa Fo this"oventag mado. the following statement , which ls'api > ? oved * by Receiver J. C. Wilson : ' ' The published distralcb ? as to the communi cation by our employes to tbo governor rep resenting that , bucuuso otr delayed pay day a , many of dur employesVuro 'on thu verge of starvation , seems tomd to glvouivory errone ous Impression , which au nt to bo corrected by prompt explanation < to the governor and others in authority "and , by mien publicity as may , , bo- deemed proper. Under our old-tlmb 'ttchodulos of pay ments , the ichoclcs * fdr1" the Colorado division were sent out from heroiabout the 25th of the followlmrrniontb. As a result of thu recent financial disturbunceswo were cora- pollcd.to fall behind thUdato , and tha checks tor Septotnbor were not sent out until about tbo.l&th of .November , thus being twenty days late. The checks for October were sent out from the Istto the 4th of Uaccmber , thus hav ing caught up ton dnysovor the September , schedule. Unavoidable causes compelled a doluy Iu sum'lng out November checks until the IGth to the 17th of this month , which Is about the time1 that the September checks were sent outw and had wo not tried to catch up on the October deliveries the pay day * would 1mvo been just about thirty days apart. Wo all appreciate how Important It Is for our men , and ' -specially for thu merchants on the line , on whosu business wo depend for a rovoiuie , to have our pay days us regular as possible , and this , mutter receives our con stant and first consideration. In the twenty-two years of my own oxporloncu with the company wo have never had hiich demoralizing conditions to contend with as have prevailed within thu last six mouths , und In all this period the regularity or pay day bus been very nutleoablo and bus done much to confirm the Impression that , no matter - tor what happens , tno pay checks will go out promptly. When It Is realized that moro than 1,000,000 a month Is disbursed fcr Hhls purpose It cau readily bo understood- how a auurcsslon. In general business aud disturbance la income may compel Irregularity , especially during periods when banks , from the sumo causes , wurounauio to make- temporary loans which had always heretofore been available freely to preserve our regularity. It IH confidently expected that the checks for Uecembor will go out for the western division at least u week earlier than those for November were sent , and that another gain will bo made on the January Checks , so that the February chccl.8 may bo sent out approximately on our old time schedule. This depends much on the heartiness with which nil the employes unlto In preserving u prompt movement nf business on the line , and the avoidance of disturbances , which tend to de crease revenue and Increase expenses. I thlnlc them must booomo serious mistake In thoioport that employes who have been , re ceiving monthly waves even though delayed from one to tlui'o weeks , are on the verge of starvation. There may bo a few Individual ( ruses of now employes or of special misfor tune , which do not form a class and should not be uvul to convey u fatso Impression nf a gen eral condition. _ _ E.

The names sentto the council last night wcro sent to the committee on Judiciary , ns were those sent In n week boforo. No report was forthcoming on those first submitted , and what the council will finally conclude to do is as much an un known quantity ns It was before. Hascall had nothing to say concerning im pcachmont , although ho had kept the city clerk's stenographer busy in executive BOS ston all the afternoon , hammering out mys terious manuscript on the typewriter behind closed doors. A largo gathering of would-bo appointees and their friends crowded the lobby , and n number of curious ones , who had expected to see something sensational , wcro on hand early to witness the fun , but they wcro dis appointed , and as soon ns the commlttoo on Judiciary was passed without bringing forth the anticipated difficulty there was a no ticeable thinning of the ranks. N Another Hatch of Appointments. The following appointments wcro sent in and rofoircd to the committee on judiciary : Dr. J. J. Savillo , health commissioner ; James Gilbert , gas inspector : John Mathlo- sen , superintendent city hall ; Joseph Michal , clerk of poiico court : Charles Sandcnburg , boiler Inspector : A. C.

The mayor submitted nls approval of the contracts and bonds of the Nebraska Fuel company for furnishing coal and C. L.Chaffco for furnishing lumber. A communication was received from A. W. Clark , a W. Lyman , W. H. Roberson , N. J. Ponfold and J. A. Glllcspie , stating that the labor test had been applied to over SOOincn at Rescue hall and it had been found that they were faithful workingmen and anxious for employment by which to earn their meals and lodging. It was asked that employment bo furnished for fifty men at a time on street cleaning work. The let ter1 was ncc9tnpanicd by another from Street Swooping Contractor Steplionsoi , who said ho waa ready to employ men at current wages whenever ordered to proceed with , work on the streets. Ho suggested that employment bo given only to married men or those having families to support , who were actual residents of Omaha. He also suggested that It would , be wise to alternate the forces from day to day , so as to give work to as great a number as possible , and that the money ho , paid to the wives of tho. men so employed so as to insure its expenditure for the necessaries of life. SueguMlons of the Mayor. The following communication from the mayor on this subject was also received : The city as u municipality , as well as our charitable Institutions , Is confronted with the iroblemof llmllngsomo menus of giving tem porary relief and assistance to the urge army ot unemployed In our midst. i'ho question is not ono of "work ior starve ; " It la rather ono ot finding worker or starving. I bollevo the city should uxorclso ovury power at Its disposal to pro vide employment for those desiring work for he hupportrif themselves and families. While t is true that the city luui no funds at Its disposal for the relief of those In distress , It can adopt measures whereby u considerable amount of employment can lawfully bo 'mulshed , und thereby relieve a largo amount ofsulToilng. With this view , I sug gest that action be tnlcon by your honorable jody authorizing the Hoard of I'ubllo Works to rcnulro us much work ut may bo practicable dutlngtho winter months to hodoneundor ho ton per cent clause of the street sweeping contract. 1 have no doubt that a satisfactory arrangement could bo made with Mr. BtopheiiHon , the contractor , whoiobv In mrstuuico of such an order tiom the Hoard of 'uhllc Works ho would tobato hU 10 per cent , except so far n might apply o the suparlntendliiff foreo dliuctly u his employ.

This U nspcclally trim of some Htrect.s whuru the principal grading would bo leavy embankments which wouldn't be seriously affected by the fiost.
