from tho postmasters In tho smaller towns.

that during the ensuing week, which will

So far tho largest remittance from any

Grand Island, tho postmaster remitting

two residents of Omaha, leaving Blair,
with a contribution of $10.60, the town
sending in tho largest amount directly
from tho residents of tho town.
Tho result of systematic work In Omaha

Threo or four schools In the stato havo

There has been no exact tlmo fixed for

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. The senate will
devoto Its principal attention this week to

poso of Senator Lodge, who Is In chargo
of tho bill, to keep It beforo tho senato
porslstcntly until It Is disposed of. He
does not count on final action for soma
time. "
It Is not tho present purposo of tho

attacks which will bo made on It nnd upon

many of tho ropubllcnn senators.
It Is understood that a majority of tho

nro Senators Cnrmack. Money. Toller, cm

Senator Lodge will seek tho earliest op

PROPERTY TO BE CONDEMNED
Site far Pennsylvania Itallrnad Ter
minals p lie Secured liy Legal
Proceedings.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26. Samuol Mc-
Ren, fourth vice president of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, who will have direct con
struction of tho New York tunnel for that
compnny under the two rivers nnd Man
hattan Island, In discussing tho reports that
tho company will be forced to pay exor
bitant prices for property in Now York tor
terminal purposes, because speculators
havo obtained possession of much ot tho
property needed, said today:
"When tho Pennsylvania railroad first
began to purchaso property In New York
for terminal) purposes, und beforo It was
known what tho purposo of these pur
chases were or what tho real purchaser
was, certain real estnto speculators, ob
serving the uctlvlty In real estate In the
vicinity ot tho proposed terminal, bought
up cortntn properties nnd secured options
on others In advance of tho company's
representatives.
"When It woe finally announced that the
Pennsylvania railroad proposed to tunnel
under the two rivers nnd Manhattan Island,
together with tho location of tho terminal
station, theso speculators at once placed
a prohibitive value upon the proporty se
cured by them. Bolng unable to come to
terms with them as to price, there Is noth
ing left to do but to secure It under con
demnation proceedings, which will bo In.
stltuted at the propor time.
"In tho purchase of the property by the
speculators tho prices paid by thcra were
greatly In excess of that of surrounding
property secured by the company, and
which under such proceedings will form
largely the basis of value for the property
yet to bo obtained, some of which is held
by tho speculators. On that basis these
speculators are likely to be awarded less
for the properties held by them than thoy
paid torjthem."
