Now that the municipal year has closed, the treasurer should pub lish a financial statement of the city's receipts, expenditures and indebtedness. By this the citizens will know "where they are at. The Tribune is in line with the western republicans who believe that America should coin up American silver into American dol lars. It also believes that this and protection to American industries and American workingmen will be the issues championed by the -re-oublicans in he great battle of 18.

Jennings Bryan, who boasted a few weeks ago that the Wilson free trade wooL would not hurt the farmers of the country any,: as wool had not de creased innrice. The work of Professor Wilson and Mr. Bryan is at least ielling with great effect on making things "cheaper." Doubt- i less, however, Mr. .Bryan will ex plain in his next creat speech that the demonetization of silver in '73 is what has sent wool down to 16 cents a pound. Journal.

The interstate com merce commission today began hearing the charges of discrimination in freight rates preferred by the Omaha Commer cial club. All the commissioners, ex cept Judge Yeomans, were present at the opening of the case. The charge was made that the rates made by the roads across the bridge discriminated against Omaha in favor of Council Bluffs. The roads, in conjunction with Council Bluffs business men, filed a pe tition in intervention, reciting at length their side of the case. The petitioners state that prior to the year 1887 upon all shipments to Omaha of merchandise originating east of the Mississippi river, to the Council Bluffs rate there was added an arbitrary of 5 cents per 100 pounds by all the defend ants and other railroads handling Oma ha business, but about the first of the year, 1887, by an agreement made be tween the several railroads interested.the incoming tariff on all such ship ments to Council Bluffs was advanced 5 cents per 100 pounds, while no ad vance was made at Omaha, and ever since that time the same rate has been charged to Council Bluffs as to Omaha, to the great advantage of the jobbers, manufacturers and business men of Omaha. After listening to the reading of the document, the commission took a recess. A decision of the matter may be expect ed in perhaps two or three months. Engineers Will Combat the New Rnle. Cleveland, April 29. It is rumored in railway circles that a rule will soon be put into force on the railroads in the Vanderbilt system, which, in brief, is that hereafter officials when making promotions among employes will con sider only efficiency. It is said that if the rule is adopted it will meet with stubborn resistence by the men. Chief Arthur, of the engineers' brotherhood, in discussing the matter, said: "I should think the enforcement of such a rule would be injurious to tho best in terests of the company. Our contracts with the railroads expressly provide that when all things are equal the preference shall be given to the men who have served the company the longest. If such a rule is adopted tho engineers will, I think, use every honorable means to combat it."

The Tri bune is not over-confident in say insr that it the proper material is put forward a republican nomina tion will be equivalent to an elec tiom.

The proceedings to oust from the receivership of the Chi cago and Northern Pacific Messrs. Mor gan, iowiana ana van JNoraen were De- gun before Judge Jenkins today. The petition filed by the bondholders' com mittee made no charge against the re ceivers. It simply set forth that the pe tition represents $24,000,000 out of the $28,000,000 issue of bonds and that the bondholders believed they were not properly represented in the receivership and that their interests were jeopard ized. The bondholders suggested A. Lawrence Hopkins of New York as sue- cussor to the present receivers. Senator Spooner, representing the other side, op posed the removal of the present re ceivers on the ground that there were no charges against them. Nebraska's New Bailroad. Fremont, April 29.

Coe of Denver, who has just arrived here after a visit to New York and other eastern cities in the interest of the min ing exposition, which is to be held in Denver next year, reports that he found considerable interest in the enterprise. Speaking of the exposition today he said: "Little is known of Colorado's re sources, and we propose to let the world know what we have. A great many think silver is our only product. This is entirely a wrong impression. Very con servative men estimate that our gold output this year will be not less than $20,000,000, and some place it as high as $30,000,000. If we never mined an ounce of silver, we would still have our gold, zinc, lead, marble, iron and coal, which exist in great abundance. We will show the various methods of min ing the ores and extracting the mate rials. We are already assured that the mining display will be superior to that of the World's fair. "We also intend to show on a com prehensive scale what can be done in arid countries by irrigation. All known methods will be exhibited and there will be an irrigated farm in connection with the exposition, on which will be grown all the products of the soil capable of being grown in an arid country." Baldwin Changes Trainers. San Francisco, April 29. Sam Hil- dreth has been engaged to train the Santa Anita string and William Brien is to be relegated to obscurity. Xter XepeTts More Than Coaflrm the Tint News of the Flood at Boasey. Epinal, France, April 29. The list of the fatalities caused by the breaking of the great Bousey dyke in the Vorges, increases every hour. One hundred and fifteen deaths have already been re ported, but only 50 bodies have been recovered. It is believed the death list will be greatly in excess of the figures above given when all the districts are heard from. It is supposed many of the dead were swept into isolated places where it will be a long time before the bodies are found. The region over which the tons of. water swept in a resistless flood is strewn with every sort of wreckage, and the whole country presents a most desolate appearance. In many places the early crops were swept clean out of the ground and the losses thus incurred will be very heavy. Six brigades of gen d'armes have been detailed to act as guards. Every at tempt is being made to reorganize the district, but this is rendered difficult by the waters. The Aviere, a small stream, is now in some places a mile and a half wide. The railway in the vicinity of the Daruiulles station was torn up. Important Developments Looked For. Salt Lake, April 29. Important de velopments are looked for in connection with the recent murder of the three men at Pelican Point, Utah. On the strength of a letter received from Mon tana the sheriff of Lehi made another visit to the cabinet formerly occupied by the murdered men and found it occupied by Hayes, Tyrel and Lars Peterson. Hayes is the father-in-law of one of the murdered men. The sheriff discovered evidence which is thought will lead to arrests. The exact purport of the let ter irom iuontana cannot do learned as the officials claim its publication will be detrimental to the investigation. Explosion of Natural Gas. Pittsburg, April 29. At Edgewood, a suburb, the residence of Attorney A. Li. spinaier was Diown apart by an ex plosion of natural gas which leaked into the cellar through a drain. Rebecca Spindler was probably fatally injured by falling from the second floor to the cellar. Her sister, Mary, and Officer Selhormer were seriously but not fatally burned. The explosion was fol lowed in quick succession by two others, which wrecked the adjoining dwelling houses of A. L. Swift, Professor D. W. Downing and A. J. Johnson. Total loss, $20,000. California Athletic Team. Berkeley, April 29. The university athletic team will next Thursday morn ing start on the transcontinental trip, which has been under consideration for some time past, to meet the eastern col- lege atmetes. xne amount oi money on hand at present will allow Captain Koch to take a team of only 10 men, but an effort will be made to raise sufficient money to take 12. If 12 men go the two others to 30m the team will be Scoggin, a sprinter, and Everett Brown, a mile runner. Active Mason Over Seventy Years. Minneapolis, April 29.

Durrani the prisoner has consented to talk. He said: "Judging by newspaper com munications I am looked upon as a cold blooded, diabolical monster. I am painted as a devil in human shape, and very little is said of the possibility oi any other person killing these two girls, but when the trial is over the world will know that I am innocent. My com posure and self control since my arrest are held against me, but no person will ever know the terrible ordeal I am un dergoing. It is said that I use opiates to induce sleep. That is a lie. I am able .to sleep well because my conscious is clear of all crime. I am not of a ner vous temperament, and have always been able to keep cool." He accuses the police of working sole ly from the premise that he is guilty ot the crime and ignoring all other clews. EXCITEMENT IN CHINATOWN. Placards Posted In the Chinese Quarter Denouncing the Police as Blackmailers. San Francisco, April 29. Rising with the fetid smells in the heart of Chinatown Sunday there was a babel of shrill voices that could be heard for blocks and a great crowd of pigtailed. blue Moused and greasy looking Chinese was fairly wedged in two corners on Dupont street, where Washington and Jackson intersect. So dense was the excited mass that it blocked the street and compelled the cable line to suspend operations pending a clearing of the way. The trouble was over four Chinese pla cards at each of the points named, evi dently a manifesto issued by Highbind ers., and which may be productive of a war in the Chinese quarters. The pla cards accuse the Six Companies' polic t of blackmailing. The police could not disperse the crowd until finally one offi cer torn down the placards. Bobber Shot by a Bank Teller.
