8 THE OJMAIIA DAILY BJSEt SUNDAY , DECEMBER 15 , 1805. SHOWING AMERICA ABROAE Flan to Bend Heating Expositions U Foreign Ports. SHIPS TO BE BUILT FOR THAT PURPOSE ( 'orre | ioinlenre of Major IlcinlN III ( In- Promoter * of the Sehenie Olijeel ( o Help tinknlc ofi American ( iooiln. Mayor Uemls has had 'conslderabls corre > rpomlcnco with the promoters of the plan ol sending uhlps containing expositions of Amcf lean products to foreign ports. In the scheme Is Included the project of an excur- nlon ot representative citizens In a steam yacht , the object of which Is to bring about a personal acquaintance between the dele- , Katci and the leading commercial men ol other countries. Correspondence that had been had when the TrnnKiilsslsslppI congress met was laid before that body , but came at RO late an hour that action could not be taken on It. Since then , when only an outline - line of the entcrpriss had ben described , the mayor has hid further communication on the Mibjcct , nnfl n few days ago received from E. K. Keeling at New York , n letter more fully Indicating the obj ° ct. Mr , KeelIng - Ing Is Decretory of the proposed American Kxpedltlan association. Says he : "Referring to a recent communication on the subject of foreign commerce and the need of some plan to facilitate and cncour- ngo a more social and Intimate relation with the Individual people of foreign nations , to , \ the end that we may bo bstter enabled to ' Introduce our proJucto In a far more ex- > tensl\e anil profitable manner than ever hcre- ft tofort attempted , I will say ' , "We addressed the governors of the states , mayors of cities , commercial organisations , und leading social people throughout the ' country. The answero- received are most gratifying and satisfactory , very few falling HO far to reply , showing plainly that tha com mercial bodley , slate and municipal e'xecu- , lives and leading citizens ore alive Lo this question , and realize to a man that for con tinued prosperity wo must extend our Influ- unci both socially and commercially beyond the borders of the United States. The an- \\ers demonstrate the need of , emphasize the desire for , and n willingness to co-oper- nta with und support any legitimate move ment to this end , but Indicate a demand for two separate and distinct plans , each having the Binie object In view. "The two plans referred to are : First , a Kcheme that will lead to n more Intimate relation with the leading Individuals of for- t'lgn countries. To carry Into effect this proposition It la proposed to construct a magnificent steam yacht for the solo purpose ot furnishing a conveyance- with commodious living apartments for a commission to b 1 composed of our official and representative cltUens , both social and political , who shall i visit foreign countries as semi-official dcle- j. ' gate's the power appointing these delegates not to bJ vested alone In the president of j the United Slates , but also In governors of Mates , mayors of cities , commercial bodies nnd biiclnl organizations. " "The commission going as a representa tive bady with the cloak of diplomacy and ' commeiclal pursuits entirely and actually thrown off , would bo strictly a social and political feature and thus receive a recogni tion not usually extended any Individual or business organization. In ths | way the yacht expedition becomes a social affair for the ' I purpose of entertaining and becoming more j Intlmato and better acquainted with the rep- Individual people of foreign coun tries. This would put us In a stronger light than hctetoforo bqfore the leading countries ' of the world as a political , social and Intsl- j , lettual people. The mauy valued personal , i acquaintances malic- upon * this extended trip ? ' i would nt n later day enable ihe social and fi 1 olltlcal people of our country" to Introduce J" and to otherwise Interest their new made nc- | qtialntanccs with our commercial nnd rnanu- facturlng advantages. ( _ "Tho second plan calls for the construction ot ono or more exposition ships , where space can bo rented for the dfsplay of the products .of both sol ) and mlllens Is dona in exposi tions such us was held nt Philadelphia , Chicago cage , ami now being held at Atlanta , except that In the proposed floating exposition only American products shall be exhibited. These ships or floating exposition buildings are to bo built especially for the purpose Intended. "lOach of thosa plans has such strong points In Its favor .hat we are encouraged to adopt both. While ono voyage will be etrlctly commercial , the other trip will beef of a seml-soclul und political commission or delegation , roprebentlng the leading social , political and Intellectual people of this coun try , which Is bound In the fu ure to Inure to our great advantage qoclally , politically and commercially. "A movement Is already on foot to carry out both plans. For these purposes an or ganization will bo created to be known au the American Expedition association , under whose * direction the yacht and exposition tlilps will ha built. "Thei number to bo built will be de termined by the demand , and limited strictly to Ihe ppacu required and previously con tract c d for. Exhibition space will be solder or leased , prr square foot , on the same plan mtiially adopted In exposition buildings. There will be a restaurant on board with moderate charges for the convenience of tlioin in charge of exhibits and their guests. .As fast as built and equipped they will be -cnt on their way , one or more along the Central and South American shores , touch ing at all poits of Importance ; the others to iiio tllhpalclieu to tlio Australian Islands , Japan , China , Slam and India. On arrival at nvery Important point , the ship will be opn 1o visitors. Special rates of transportation may b ? tecured for merchants and visitors from the Interior. The exposition will be b lied and advertised abroad at every port upon the same principle as our land exposi tions , and It ' safe to predict that the ves sels will be taxed to their utmost rapacity to accommodate the Immense crowds that A\lll bo attracted for days by the novel and Interesting lloatlng exposition from the United Stales of America. The advantages of this plan over that of , the usual expositions are manifest ; Ihe aUoiiuunco nt expositions held In this country Is confined mostly to our own people , with the exception of perhaps n few who are hero more for thu purposj of exhibiting their own wares thun In the character of buyers. And further , when Anarlean piodiicts arc exhibited In foreign expositions they arc only a part of n vast colltct'on from all over the world , and at heat only irc-hu a divided Interest , , but on the proposed lloatlng exposition we secure u monopoly of attention which cannot but re- nlt ; In opening up markets for our goods not herolofoie possible. "Contemporaneous with the construction of these cxpitslMon ships , ami as first mentioned , there will be built the palatial jiicht , to be railed the "Palace of Neptune. " All ro.oms In the yacht and all spare In the ship must be engaged and contracted for before con- Klructlon ; books for engagements of same will be open toon.

The pris oners whose punishment was to fo ? meted out were thrre , the audlcnco nnd attorneys were there , and Judge Scott was there. De spite all Dili , however , nobody was sentenced. The first man called up for sentence was Ocorge Morgan , the convicted murderer of Ida Uankni , . As teen us the case was called ono of the "attorneys for Morgan nrogo and asked that SHitcnco bo delayed until 2 o'clock. He said that he made the request at the wjggestlon of the coun'y attorney. A motion for a new trial had been mnde In the case and the affidavits had bc'n given to the county attorney only that morning. As he was In the Ish case the county attorney de sired to have un'll 2 o'clock to flic counter affldRViti ! . "Yes , I flrul that the county attorney Is not ready In any of the cases , " said the court , "He has had plenty ot time In which to get ready. I will adjourn all these sentences until next Saturday. " At this point the attorney for Pat Ford , Jr. , who was awaiting sentence for highway rob- cry , staled that ho way ready to argue n motion for a new trial. "The county atlonify Is not ready In > our case , either , " remarked Judge Scott. "You have brought your man three different times for sentence , and In each case the county attorney has not been ready. I'll have no hearing now. 1 will postpone all these sen tences until next Saturday , and If the county attorney Is not ready then we will have to know the reason. " With that court was adjourned. There was a crowd In the court room which rivalled those which had been present dur ing the trial ot Morgan. This was due In all piobahlllly to the fact that It was ex pected that Morgan would be sentenced. Kvery Inch of room was occupied , and when court was adjourned the crowd Died out slowly and reluctantly. Morgan walked to the court room , and while there remained as collected and self- possessed as ho ha appeared since his ar rest. On his way to the court room he was handculTcd with Ford and joked with him all the way up the Blairs. "Wo arc the two stars of the show , " he remarked with a laugh. The others who were to be sentenced were r. J. Pjerrou , convicted of highway robbery , Charles Cummlngs , convicted ot manslaughter , and two negroes , Sam Sid ney , convicted of nrauilt with Intent to com mit great bodily Injury and James Smith , convicted of burglary. OIUJAM/.r.l ) TO 1100.11 MMlllASIvA. Preliminary Slop * Taken to Oruaiilie the Cluli. Under tlio auspices and call of the Manu facturers and Consumers association a meetIng - Ing was held nt the Commercial club rooms yesterday to consider the plan of organizing a commercial body which should do for tht state what th& Commercial club Is seeking to do for Omaha. About thirty were present , among them being General Monderson , J. 0. Phllllppl , J. K. Buchanan , Q. M. Hitchcock , L. M. Khcem , O. C. Holmes , Euclid Martin , M. C. Pe'rs , C. S. Hay ward , S. N Powell , Lt > uls Hugglns , Gajlord Watson , William Fleming , Samuel Kecs , H. A. Thompson , C. R. Sherman , C. . Black. J. F. Helln , C. C. George , Dr. Dcnlse and A. Hospe. According to a resolution by General Man- derson. Samuel Hees , A. Hospe. jr. , C. N. Powell , O. C. Holmes and C. C. George were appointed a committee to arrange for a meet ing of men from different parts ot the state at t'uch time as the committee may select , to further the plan. The committee Is also In structed to present articles of Incorporation for an organization that shall have as Its object the general development of the state and the plantation of Immigration thereto. The committee will , In audition , suggest a board of directors. What the organization shall bo named has not been intimated. It Is suggested that the capital stock be $100,000 , divided Into 100.000 shares of $1 each. Discussion of the plan followed a dinnsr. General Manderson and others made brief speeches. General Manderson counseled that by all means the organization should be not of local , but of state character , and he ad vised , that the railroads , while he had no doubt they would do all they could In the direction Indicated , should be kept In the background. He believed that one of the things to be urgjd by the new organization was the cession by congress of the govern ment lands to the state , the non-Irrigable lands to be leased cr sold nnd the proceeds devoted to the building of ditches for the reclamation of the Irrigable portions. tiuowN is A < ; AI\ iTUOL'HM : .

The check In ques'lon Is one given out to Bou- quette , a hackrnan , during the period of Brown's late drunk. In which he Is charged with having taken Vera Wells' diamonds and also $86 from the funeral fund of an old col ored woman , Ablgel MHI'T.

EX-SHERIFFS OWE THE CODNTY Ton Thousand Dollars Hold Back by Oo- bnrn and Bojd. RESULT OF RUAN'S ' EXAMINATIONS C < nnij" ( CiMiiinlnnltinert liefer All I'liptTH to tlio County Attornpj "Not Confident that the AinoiintH Can lie llecov ereil. There was something of n sensation sprung nt the meeting of the Hoard of County Com missioners yesterday. It came In the shape of two reports from the finance commit , tec , which Instructed the county attorney teat at once take- steps to recover certain surplus fcea which It Is alleged were collected and retained by cx-Sherlffs Coburn and John K. Uoyd. In the report of the commlttte regarding Coburn it Is stated that during his term of office , from 1886 to 18S9 , Inclusive , ho col lected $5,745 , which sum belongs to Douglas county as surplus fees , nnd also that he re tained $2,050 for salaries for deputies and olllco help which was not _ authorized by the board , making a total of $7,795 , which It Is alleged IE duo the county. The books In the oIIIco of the clerk of tlio district court also show that there have been $736 fees col lected , part of which may have been turned over to Coburn. The Investigation has been made by James Kunn , the man who figured so prominently In the Moores Investigation. He gives a de tailed account of his findings , which Is as follows , the time covered being the entire term of Ccbiirn : IJnlanes due the county nt expiration of Coburn's ycnr , as shown by M * own reports $ 1GD.16 Errors In the reports 118.23 Fees collected In civil cases nnd not reported 2,029.15 Tees collected In civil cases after Co- burn's term expired nnd not re ported 1,02190 Commlttnl fees collected during term of Olllce 33800 Court fees In September term , liS7 , collected nnd not reported 5.18.50 Court fees In September term , IbSD , collected nnd not reported C5S.BO City committals collected nfter expi ration of term 5,10.00 Insane fees collected after expiration of term 33100 Total $3,715Ifi UNAUTHORIZED HELP. It Is also shown that despite the fact that the board passed a resolution which provided for the employment of only two deputies , Coburn employed three at a salary of $900 a year each. The resolution was rescinded In 1888 , but In the two years , ISSfi nnd 1887 , the salary of one of these deputies Is claimed to be due the county. This amounts to $ lSOO. It is also shown that In the third and fourth quarters of 18S9 Coburn hired unauthorized office help at a cost ot $250 , making a total expense of $2,050 , which It Is claimed was not allowed by the commis sioners. The findings In the resolution regarding ex-Sheriff Doyd are similar. It Is charged that he collected and retained fees to tha amount of $4.282.60. This Includes $ S9S.fi7 which was collected by Clerk of the District Court Moorw and turned over to Administra tor Sharp of IJoyd's estate. There htlll re main $1,527 collected fees In tire hands of Moores. In addition to this It Is , charged tint Doyd failed to account fcr various amounts that were paid to him' for board'ng ' prisoners. He also failed to report "per diem" fees paid to him by the state for taking nrlsoners to the penitentiary. The amounts of these nnat be found without examining tlie books In the office of the state auditor. The reports simply brought the results of the Investigation before tlie board and then recmmemled that all ofthe papers b ? re ferred back io the committee and the county ! attorney , with instructions to at once take steps to recover the amounts claimed to b ; due. Both reports were unanimously adopted. In connection with the same matter thp following resolution was introduced by Sten-1 barg and passed : Resolved , That the 'counly clerk be and' IB hereby Instructed to procure from the auditor of state a statement of all fees col lected by John P. Boyd , ex-ther'ff , deccascJ for conve.vlng prisoners to the state peni tentiary , and this without delay. It appears that the findings are the result of an Investigation made by James Uuan under thei Instructions of the Hoard of County Commissioners. Kuan has been em ployed In checking up the books of all the- offices of the county. The Investigation was begun some fifteen months ago and necessi tated the examinations of all the dockets In the ofilcp of tht > district clerk. FEAR THEV CANNOT RECOVEll. Tne county commissioners are not ap parently very sanguine of the success that would be- met In bringing action to recover the amounts. All the papers are to be- sub mitted to th. ? county attorney and it will rest with him whether suits will be brought against Ccbiirn and the estate ot Doyd. A report recommending that the taxes on one lot owned by the German Catholic church nt Seventeenth and Center streets bo re mitted , because th > property is used for church and educational purposes , cre ated considerable discussion. It ap peal s that the church owns two lots on the corner running from Sixteenth and Seventeenth sttcets. On ono a church and school Is erected , but the other Is free from buildings and appears to be used as o school ground. Commissioner Stenberg opposed the report because ho said that the lot was being used for speculative purposes. The other commis sioners were of the same opinion , but thought that under the exemption law the courts would decide that the lots could not be taxed. It was held , however , that the taxes could not bo remitted and therefore Dreen , who brought in the report , a sited that It bo laid over for one weik. A large number of bonds of minor officials elected at the last clectldn were approved. The bond of W. W. Wilde , Justice of the peace for Clontarf precinct , was rejected because the sureties were lawyers. The statutes pro vide that attorneys cannot sign ofliclul bonds. The application of Hardy to be appointed constable of Clontarf precinct to fill vacancy left by Charles W , King , was laid over be cause Hardy failed to file an affidavit showing that howas a resident of the precinct. A resolution Introduced by Stenberg was passed calling for bids for supplies for the court house , the hospital and other county departments. The bond of Sheriff-elect McDonald for $10.000 , signed by W. J. Hroatch , William M. White nnd William J. Maxwell , was ac cepted. The board of County Clerk-elect Hedi field for the same amount , signed by the Fidelity and Deposit company of Maryland , was also accepted , A request was received from C. A. W. Fash , superintendent of police of Peorla , ask ing for the reward of $200 offered by tlio county commissioners for the capture of Abe Lander.

In the meantime the members of the committee are very reti cent In their stat ntorrti ot what transpired during their stay In Chicago. The appoint ment of the committee * as the flrrt step In an effort to Arbitrate the differences between the railroads and to sscure united action. The purpose was to ascertain whether It was true that the roads mentioned were really standing In the way of the project as was represented and If eo to try to agro * upon some under standing by which they could bo Induced to withdraw their opposition , The committee consisted of J , E. Utt , E. E. Bruce , Dudley Smith , John A. Wakcfleld , Allen T. Rector , Charles E. Welter and John R Webster. Mr. Wnkefleld was unable to go on account of the affairs of the Onnha Fair and Speed associa tion , but 'no ' other members met the Chicago ofllclals nnd went over tlr nmtter In full. The following report which will be presented Indicates that the committee received some now Ideas during the conference which require quire- some additional time for digestion : "OMAHA , Dec. 14. The committee ap pointed by the Commercial club met the manngsrs of the different roads In Chicago yesterday and the depot proposition was thoroughly dlsctrescd. They all stated that cur present depot facilities wore entirely in adequate and a disgrace to our city and to lh railroads running Into It , The committee having other parties Interested In the vropo- sltlon to sso. Is not now prepared to make a more detailed report , but a full and comple'o one with such recommendations as they may have to offer will bo made. In due time. " This report Includes about all tlrs mem bers of the commltteE''are willing to divulge They say thnt the railroad officials were all agreed In denouncing the present depot facil ities , but a number of new complications wers developed that will have to be att ° ndeil to before the officials will make final answer. It Is understood that the committee was treated to the ether half ot the story for the purpose of showing that the railroads were not entirely to blame In the matter and that they had some grounds for their action in refusing to accept the depot proposition. It Is the adjudication of these matters that tne com mittee proposes to attempt bffore making Its final report. DOA.MTS HIM , Tlii : > IT. 1'nrk ConiinlNNloii nnil Clly Council Mtiy .loin Issues. There Is a prospect that the city council and the Hoard ot Pork Commissioners will lock horns In o legal battle soon. It Is the same old controversy , as to whether the council has the right under the charter to disavow Ihe official acts of the municipal departments which wore created , and operate under special provisions of the charter. When the Jefferson square fight was on In the courts the board engaged George W. Doane as counsel under a contract , by which ho was to obtain a stipulated sum for fight ing the case In thp .district court and $200 additional In case It was carried to the su preme court. The casa'went to the supreme court , and recently the board allowed the bill of Judge Doano tot the amount specified. Dut the council refused to pass the appro priation , and the vrartant has never been dtavvn. It Is expected that the board will make a test case In this Instance , and Jirdg" DDane will probably begin mandamus proceedings In the name of the board to compel the coun cil to approve the octldn of the board.
