LINCOLN , Juno IS. ( Special Telegram. )
The residence of D. E. Thompson nt the
corner of Fifteenth and H streets , Immedi
ately south of the state house , was pur
chased this morning by the Board of Pub
lic Lands and Buildings for a governor's
mansion , the consideration being $20,000.
This Includes nearly all of the furniture at
present In the house. The board acted
rather unexpectedly In the matter and only
the secretary of state , the treasurer and
land commissioner wcro present at the
meeting. It was stated at the capltol this
morning that Mr. Thompson agreed to sell
hlo house and furniture for $25,000 at the
tlmo the other bids were submitted , and of
this sum $24,900 $ was for the house and $100
for the furniture.
The three houses that received favorable
consideration by the board were the ones
belonging to J. A. Duckstaff , George Lowry
nnd U. E. Thompson. Mr. Thompson ,
through his nccnts , Elmer Stephenson and
0. 1) . Mullon. Intimated that ho would reduce -
duce his price tmd the offer of $20,000 was
mado. Today Mr. Mullen and Mr. Stephen-
eon notified Secretary of State Porter that
Mr. Thompson had agreed to sell at that
price and the deal was coimuramatcd In five
minutes.
Other HniiNpN OITcrnl.
J. A. Duckstaff , the father of the bill ap
propriating money for the purchase cf a
governor's mansion , was very anxious to
dUposo of his house to the state ami the
action of the board In making a proposition
to Mr. Thompson without giving the other
bidders an opportunity to change their price. ?
Is taken as an Indication that there WHS
no difference of opinion regarding the house
to buy and that the price was a secondary
consideration , for had such an opportunity
been given , the other ( bidders they perhaps
would have been as anxious to shave their
prices as wag Mr. Thompson. The bill as
originally Introduced provided for an ap
propriation of $50.000 for the purchase of
the Buckstaff residence , but It was after
ward amended to provide $25,000 for a house
and furniture. Among the houses offered
for sale to the 'board ' were some of the most
costly homes In the city , but the members
of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings
favored the Thompson , residence and but
very little difficulty was experienced In ef
fecting a compromise. There Is no com
plaint as to the -price the 'board ' has agreed
to pay for the house , 'but the unsuccessful
bidders feel they were treated unjustly when
the board made a proposition to Mr. Thomp-
eon without giving them an opportunity of
changing their bids.
There probably Is not a more handsomely
furnished house In Lincoln than the one
that will soon bo the property of the state.
It Is finished throughout in hard wood with
onyx washstands and bathtubs In several
of the upstairs rooms. The floors are all
of polished hard wood and the walls are
decorated in many of the rooms with beauti
ful ibas relief figures. In the receiving hall
are several expensive divans , ono of which
was purchased by Mr. Thompson In Con
stantinople. The lower floor Is divided Into
four largo rooms with a kitchen and ac
companying closets In the rear. On the
right of the entrance or receiving hall Is the
main drawlng.room.anfl back of this Is a.slt-
tlng room. " * The dining room'Is'at" the fight
of , the sitting room _ and at the
rear of the ' receiving hall. From
near the door a beautifully carved stairway
leads around and above to the second floor.
On this floor the northeast room has been
used as a smoking room and the others for
bedrooms. All are papered and- furnished In
different colors. The third floor has been
finished for dancing. Perhaps the most at
tractive features In the architecture of the
residence are the broad porches that extend
nearly around the house on the first and
second floors. Ever since the house was con
structed It has been pointed out as one of
the handsomest houses In the city.
Mr. Thompson has been Interested In an
l extensive coffee plantation In Mexico for
several years and he has recently Invested
In the Irrigating business In this state and
It Is qulto probable that he will decide to
locate In Mexico or some othnr city In Ne
braska. Ho stated today that ho had no
plans for the future and was undecided as to
whether to remain In Lincoln or not.

Dr. G. O. W. Farnam of this city ha
written 'Mayor ' Wlnnctt a letter demanding
to know why the city boo not taken some
stops toward executing a Judgment for $111-
000 delinquent paving taxes , rendered in tlio
district court several months ago against ,
the Lincoln Traction company In favor of
the city of T.i coln , Dr. Farnam has threat
ened to enjoin the city It it" "Ulcers at
tempt to compromise with IV : trcet car
company for less than the jtuJ.'ii" nt and en
account of the complicated < > iidltlon of
affairs It will probably bo several years
before the city recovers anything.
AH soon ao Judgment was rendered the
Traction company appealed the case to the
supreme court on 11 supersedoas bond for
$5,000 , the amount of the bond being fixoil
by the court. Attorney r. 0. Whedon ,
counsel for Dr. Farnam , holds In a letter
to Mayor Wlnnett that the Judgment has
never been superseded and that there Is no
reason why the cliy should not go ahead
und execute the Judgment , Ono section of
the civil ccdo relating to superBedeas bonds
provides that such a bond shall bo in the
sum of twice the amount of the Judgment ,
or , In case the court orders the snlo of real
property , the amount of the bond may bo
fixed by the Judge. It Is contended that
the bond filed 'by ' the street oar company ,
although In accordance with the order of t
the court , Is so far out of proportion to the )
Judgment , there being n difference of $101-
000 In favor of the Traction company , that t
It U not legal. The appealed case Is now tI tf f
pending before the supreme court , but It will I
not be reached In the regular order for two )
or three months ,
Mayor Wlnnett hne referred the letter of t
Dr. Farnam to City Attorney Webster and tr tI I
will await his opinion before taking any
action In the matter. The alrcet railway
company has made numerouu propositions
to the city looking toward a compromise
and each one has been better ( ban the pre
ceding one. The case has been pending
In the courts for several years and has
.
been decided three times , once In favor of
the company and twice In favor of the city.
The last proposition was to settle for
$60,000 cash , the contention of the street
railway company being that all of the Judg
ment over that amount represents back taxes
and penalties for their non-payment of

30. There nro six trotting and pacing
events and all have filled well. The small
est number of entries in ono event Is nine
and the largest number fifteen. In addition
to the six trotting and pacing events there
will be three running races , one < ? ach day ,
and It is expected they also will fill in good
shape. Owing to the fact that only $300 In
purses were hung up for the trot'lng and
pacing events and $100 for the running
races and the further faet that several race
meets had teen declared off because the
events did not fill the large number of en
trks for the races here was something of
a surprise. The half-mlla track hor-j Is the
fastest in the state and aoma fast tlmo and
hot races are anticipated.

SERVES NOTICE ON MOTHER COUNTRY

Settlement.
NEW YORK , June 19. A special to the
Journal dnd Advertiser from Washington
says : Canada has served notice on England
that It must choose between the United
States and Its North American dominion In
the settlement of the Alaskan boundary
question. It | s stated on the highest author
ity th.it this settlement repieaents accu
rately the condition submitted to England ,
which has delayed the negotiation ! ! between
Ambassador Choato and Lord Salisbury on
the provisional line of the modus vlvcndl.
This position of Canada Is known hero of
ficially. The official to whom It Is known
feels authorized in saying that there are
only two ways out of the difficulty , first , that
Canada will voluntarily recede from Its de
mands for a Pacific tidewater port ; or ,
second , that the United States shall pur-
render the principle laid down by Secretary
Hay In his tentative boundary line , that
America will not grant temporarily or other
wise any port facilities to the Canadians.
That Canada will yield Is considered by
State department officials who have dls-
ciwsod the now and acute phases of the filt-
uatlon as Improbable. It Is asserted oa au
thority that England hue been forced to
yield to Canada and that the United States
and England are wider apart today In the
controversy than at any time since the ad
journment of the high Joint commission.
The present situation , In the light of this
Important news , Is that the conflict which
the provisional boundary line was Intended
to prevent may be precipitated at any mo
ment and with greater show of probability
when It becomes known that England has
decided to stand irrevocably behind Canada.
OTTAWA , Juno 10. The statement pub
lished In 'New York today that the Domin
ion sovernment has told England to choose
between Canada and the United States In
the Alaskan boundary negotiation Is posi
tively contradicted In government circles
here.
Deny the Story.
LONDON , Juno 19. The officials of the
colonial office today were shown the dis
patch from Washington saying that Canada
had served notice on Great Britain that It
must choose between the United States and
Its North American dominion In the settle
ment of the Alaskan boundary dlsmito.
They declared that the story Is wrongjpoth
In substance and fact , and that It can bo
further reaffirmed that a modus vlvcndl was
reached early last week , as cabled to the
Associated Press at the time. The arrange
ment , which Is a verbal one , deals with the
question on broad lines. One or two minor
details are still under discussion and when
they are settled a final arrangement will be
drawn up.
Generally speaking. It may be said that
the boundary agreed upon follows the sum
mits of the White and Chllcoot passes.
