PRESIDENCY. It t» llell*v*d I !«•» < »n Keep the I’Iiki If He WanU It. OMAHA. Nov. 11.—The belief that Silas H. H. Clark will be the presi dent of the reorganized Union Fael flr railroad, Is strengthened by the news that he Is greatly improved in health and will go from St. 1-outs to New York City this week to attend a meeting of the receivers and the re organization committee. It Is an ac cepted fact among many well posted men that Mr. Clark will be formally offered the presidency of the future company at this meeting In New York City. It has been reported that Mr. Clark would come to Omaha this week. It Is known that such was his Intention, but something has occurred within the last few days to change his plans, and he will go to New York City within a few days and not come to Omaha un til Ills return from the east. This Is what General Manager Dickinson, of the Union Pacific said. The health of the president has greatly Improved, that he has fully recovered from Ills recent illness. General Manager Dickinson was asked about the dale for the transfer of the property from the receivers to the reorganization committee, and In reply said: "There Is a good deal of work Involved in turning over such a big property, and It will take time to accomplish it. There are Innumerable accounts to be gone over before the transfer Is mode, 1 have thought that perhaps everything could be finished and ready for the transfer front the receivers to the reorganization com mittee by the first of the year. Maybe matters ran he fixed so that It will come ulong by December 1, I do not know. No one can say exactly when the formal transfer will be made.” It la announced that the name of the new company will be "The Union Pa cific Railroad.” The word "system” will he dropped from the new title. There is said to be some significance in the onimixsion of the word "sys tem." which has so long been u ed in conertlcn with the denomination of the Union Pacific lines. It Ilea in the fact that the reorganization company it once dill. It is believed that the Oregon Short Line, the Kaunas Pa cific. the Kansas Central and the Cen tral Branch (the latter now leased to and operated by the Missouri Pacific), will be the lines that are now apart, from the Union Pacific system, but which will be controlled by the Union Pacific railroad after the reorganiza tion shall have been effected. i:**i»lr I* FrUMiill.v. WASHINGTON. Nov. 11 It 1h stated on good authority that Premier Sagasta's reply to Minister Wood ford's note, the full text of which was read at yesterday's cabinet meeting, is eminently satisfactory to this gov ernment. In it the Spanish ministry pledges itself to correct the abuse of power in Cuba, which was the sub ject of so much complaint during the Weyler administration, aud gives as surance of its friendly feeling toward the American people. It accepts our good offices in its efforts to restore peace in Cuba and in a perfectly re spectful and friendly spirit asks this government so far as possible to re strain tlie insurgent sympathizers in the United States from giving mater ial aid to the enemies of Spain In Cuba. The reply intimates tnat hut for the assistance that lias been given them by filibusters from the United States peace would liuve been restored long ago. IVffttorn Mm, Win. llir lll.hoprlr.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.—Will iam Henry Theodore Durrant, the young medical student condemned to death for the murder of Blanche l.a mont and who is undoubtedly the mur derer of Minnie Williams In this city in April, 1895, was brought over from San Quentin prison yesterday, and upon being taken before Judge Bahers shortly before noon was sen tenced to be hanged on Friday morn ing next. Cleanly shaven, with the exception of Ills moustache, which has been al lowed to attain a luxuriant growth during his sojourn In the prison; at tired In his best suit of clothes, over which he wore a faultlessly fitting overcoat, light In color, Durrant made a conspicuous figure on the train and ferry bout. His reappearance In public was tin signal for the gathering crowd. Durrant was taken Into the report ers' room adjoining Judge Bahers and remained there until the hour for hearing the 'Ugp arrived, which was 11 o'clock. Promptly at the appointed hour Judge Baher called upon Durrant to stand at the liar. The defendant's at torney Interposed an objection to the proceedings upon technical grounds, which was, however, overruled. "William Henry Theodore Durrant, stand up," ordered the court. The young murdered stood up and then his marvelous self-control as serted Itself. He looked Infinitely cool er. wonderfully better than he did in the anteroom. He was deadly pale, but calm and self-possessed. He faced the Judge without flinching and llsten I ed intently to the Judge’s words, j Judge Babers reminded him that on I December «>. 1895, the Judgment of 1 death was pronounced upon him for j the murder of Blanche Damont April l 3, 1895. and that Judgment still re I rnaineu in jorre. j\u »* ! state supreme court had been dia I missed and a writ o/ habeas corpus i>. tiw. sUutpH court and ! ihe refusal affirmed by the supreme j court of the I'nited States, the high.at 1 tribunal of the land.

I am ready to hear you.” The defendant’s attorney again en tered the technical objection to the proceedings, and the judge after list ening to all they had tosayswept their protests aside and pronounced Judg ment slowly and impressively, ordering that the young defendant, standing alone In the crowded court room, he hanged on Friday, November 12, be tween the hours of sunrise and noon. !

At the Invitation of the United States a conference on the fur seal question will be held at Washington In October. The United States. Great Britain, Russia, Japan and Canada are expected to be represented. The purpose of the conference Is to consider the reports of the British and American experts upon the present con dition of the seal herds, and to draft measures for their more effective pro tection. The powers of the conference are not Anal; but its conclusions will be referred to the respective governments as a basis for an international agree ment. The conference will not reopen the question of exclusive jurisdiction In Bering Bca, which was decided against tile United .Staten by the Paris tribunal of 1833. Neither will the eonferenre have anything to do with the amount, of damages which the United Sta'es should pay Great Britain for unwar ranted seizures of the vessels of Brit ish subjects. That question was not udjudlcated by the Paris tribunal, but It Ib in process of settlement by a com mission appointed by Great Britain and the United States. It Is with the question of pelagle or deep-sea fishing that the conference will deal. While the Paris tribunal de cided that the United Stntes bad no ex clusive rights in the seal fisheries ex cept on the Prlbilof Islands and with in three miles of them, It established a protected zone sixty miles wide around the islands, within which the taking of seals was at all times prohibited; and it forbade sealing in any part of the North Pacific or Bering sea be tween the first of May and the first of August in each year. If these prohibi tions were observed, there would be little danger of the extinction of the herds. But there is a large destruction of seal life In violation of these conditions. During the breeding sea son the seals swim northward to feed ing grounds at a long distance from the Islands. They follow a narrow route, which makes It easy for the pel agic sealers to intercept them. Most :i/.n tkemioh out the day ana on week day*.

Hilly Edwards’ Bright Scheme A Sol dier Boy Improvad a Tempting Op portunity—Wo Investigation Wa* Ever Made. OWARO the close of the year 1861 the 75th New York vol unteers, a newly recruited regiment from Cayuga and Wayne counties, was put on board a steamer In New York Harbor and sailed for Santa Rosa Island, at the mouth of Pensacola bay, says the New York Tribune. The boys had got some what used to army fare by this time, but it was not what they were ac customed to at home and It Is not to be wondered at thut. they occasionally hankered after the fleshpots of Egypt Time hung rather heavily on the hands of these young warriors for a few days, because there was no guard mounting, drill or dress parade on shipboard. They wandered about curiously, so far as the discipline and usages of the oc casion would allow; closely observing the architecture and other naval fea tures of their floating abode. There was a mischievous fellow in the regi ment who, for convenience, may be called Billy Edwards, although that was not his name. One clay, while piowling about on deck, Billy and some of his companions detected an odor pleasantly suggestive of viands In pro cess of preparation for the table. Following the clew afforded by their noses they soon ascertained that a tur key, designed foi; the officers, had been roasted in the cook's galley. Pursuing their investigations still farther, they found that this well-stuffed and gltsten , ing bird was exposed to view almost ill reel ty miner u ssyiigui m mi: iihr on which the soldiers were at liberty to stroll.
