any five or six-story structure. To teat
thorn out would bo u waste of fully
twenty thousand dollars. Ono of the
most potential arguments In favor ol
retaining thu city hall whore itvas
originally located was the fact thai
the city had already expanded
over thirty thousand dollars on the
basomont. All architects who entered
competition for the city hall plans won

POSTAL SEUVICE ItEVOtlMS.
The reforms in the postal service ox-
pcclcd under the present Administra
tion could not bo accomplished In a day.
The service hatt become very greatly
demoralized under the previous admin
istration. During the nearly three
yean that Mr. Vilas was at the head of
the postofllco department the postal
business of the government wont steadily
from bad to worse. It was the first am
bition of that ofllolnl to obtain
national notoriety ns n faithful
nnd active partisan. Advanced
to prominence from comparative
privacy , nnd having hail but n narrow
political experience , ho fancied that ho
saw the way to national fame nnd n
higher honor in turning the postal
service into a refuge for the reward of
democratic politicians. Ho had very
good success in doing this , but with
consequencesoxtremoly detrimental to
the service. Incapable and inolllclont
men by the thousands found their way
into it until everywhere the norvlco
suffered demoralization to the great
injury of the public. Another ambi
tion of Mr. Vilas was to make
n reputation for economy in his
department , nnd this ho sought
to effect by reducing mall facilities in
portions of the country , the west Buffer
ing most severely from this policy. All
this was .made apparent to the succeed
ing postmaster gonocal , Mr. Don Dick
inson , but ho was so handicapped that
ho could do little to improve mutters ,
however much ho might hnvo desired
to do so. The incoinrjotonts that had
giiined admission into the service be
cause they were useful partisans had to
bo kept thero. and , while 'in some cases
the facilities that had boon cut off in
order to make a show of economy
were restored , every in&lanco of which
was a rebuke to Vilas , care had to
bo taken not to proceed too far In thus
condemning the administrative con
duct , of a member of the cabinet.
Thus it was that for four years the
postal service , which had boon raised tea
a high state of clliclcnoy under republi
can administrations , was allowed to run
down because of Incapacity and a nar
row economy thai took no account of the
progress.of the country. Men who had
given almost a lifo time to this service
and knew its requirements thoroughly
were displaced and the" positions filled
by others who had little or no knowl
edge of the service. The task presented
to the new administration wad that of
almost completely reorganising the
service. Experienced men wore to bo
restored , facilities increased , practices
prejudicial to the service eliminated ,
and a very general reformation offcctod.
This was no easy task and required time
for its accomplishment. A year would
not have boon an unreasonable time to
allow the now administration for com
pleting this work , yet in the four
months it has been in power there has
been a very marked improvement i'n
the postal service , and especially
so in the west , where improvement
was most needed. The reforms in
stituted and the greater efficiency at
tained nro apparent to all business men ,
'and they are au assurance of still fur
ther progress. The revenues of the de
partment for the last fiscal year were
largely increased over those of the preceding -
ceding your , and as it is the sole ambi
tion of the present head of the depart
ment to place it on a thorough business
basis , keeping pace in ita fnuilidos with
tnc growth of the-population and busi
ness interests of the country , he will bo
prepared to recommend to congress a
move liberal policy for the postal ser
vice , with every probability of having
his recommendations acceded to.
PJIOULEMS.
The semite sub-committee investigat
ing the relations of Canadian railroads
to A-morican lines , as affected by the
intw-stato commerce law , has resumed
its inquiries. When the committee
adjourned the investigation , some two
weeks ago , the weight of opinion it had
heard was unfavorable to any legisla
tion which would discriminate against
Canadian railroads to the extent of cut
ting off their competition. The views
of a few AtneriCfVi railroad managers
were strongly in favor of such legis
lation , but a largo nutnbin- otliors
wore not , while the sontinont :
of shippers was uniformly opposed
to restricting competition , ex
cept so far as this might necessarily re
sult from requiring Canadian roads
doing business in the United States to
comply equally with American roads
with the regulations of the intor-stato
commerce law. The information ob
tained by another senate sub-committee ,
investigating our commercial relations
with Canada , wn.i to a like effect.
The question now being investigated
is whether the transcontinental lines
arc suffering a loss ol business , through
the operation of the Intor-stato co m-
moree law , which is being di
verted to Canadian railroads ,
and if BO , whether nny log ;
Islation can be enacted to prevent It.
The committee' has received communl-
ctitionn from one or moro of the olllcials
of the transcontinental lines urging
Unit the remedy Is to bo found in tlio
repeal of the long and nhorl haul clause
of the intei'-stato act , but there must bo
stronger reasons than have yet boon
presented to bring publlo sentiment to
accede to thin view. This clause is tno
very backbone of the law , without
which It would amount to very little as
a protection to the people against un
fair discrimination In rates. Sdnator
Cullom la quoted as saying tlmt
the cvidonco presented thus far has
not indicated that wo have suffered
much from Canadian 1'aciflo competi
tion , yet it is unquestionably true that
a great deal of trallle which naturally
belonged to the American roads haa
boon diverted to the alien corporation.
The statistics of the bublnoss of the
roads , if correotly reported , clearly
show this. It is very questionable ,
however , whether the remedy proposed
by the transcontinental managers would
bo effective , nnd it certainly could not
bo without a loss to the people.
There nro other features of the prob
lem ol our commercial and railway
relations with Canada which are
importan t. Both the question of allow
ing bonding privileges to tlio Canadian
Pacillo railway and of asso&slng a duty
on Canadiun-bullt cars are before thosJ-
Hcltor of the treasury for his opinion ,
nnd results of considerable consequence
affecting the trade between the two
countries nro dependent upon his de
cision. It is believed that the tendency
at the treasury department is favorable
to n restrictive policy towards Cntula ,
but the department will ttiUo action In
these matters with great doHbornltoTT ,
and may lonvo thorn to the
determination of congress. The
pressure for placing restrictions upon
Canadian rntlroaus , nnd for a oolicy
that would con fine American trnlllc to
American lines , is unquestionably
strong ; but , on the other hand , there is
a very largo und vigorous sentiment in
Now England nnd the northwest in
opposition to such a course. Thla the
depirtinont cannot wisely or safe ly Ig
nore , and the treasury authorities may
prudently determine to leave this
knotty question , regarding which there
IB such a wide nnd decided diversity of
opinion among our own people , in
abeyance until congress can consider
nnd pass upon them In the light of the
information obtained by the senate
committees.
COJtMISSIONKU ROOSBVKLT 1ms
deemed U nocoswry to sot himself
aright on the question of civil service
examinations by writing n loiter to tbo
Milwaukee Sentinel. To the thousands
of applicants for fodor.il offices , it will
bo interesting to learn that Mv. I'ooao-
velt never asserted that ho could not
himself pass the civil service examina
tions. On the contrary , M * . lloosovoU
says that people who speak about their
severity and their scholastic character ,
either err from pure Spraoranco or else
make malicious misstatemouts. The
character ol the examinations , accord
ing to the commissioner , is to test either
the candidate's special fitness for his
work or else of his general gotul sanso
and intelligence. It is found that the
average ngo of applicants is about
thirty-one , and the oxnminatio'iH nro
drawn so ns to suit the average man of
full growth , and not boys just out of
schools and collleges. And now the
applicant who wunts , ' federal position
under the control of the civil service
commission should pluck up heart and
stand in no fear of the civil service
examinations.
Tin : adverse criticisms of the Amer
ican agricultural display at the Paris
exposition has been a source of annoy
ance to the pcoplo of this country ns
well us to the agricultural department.
Secretary Ktiak especially has been
nettled at the reports , and has cabled to
the commissioner general of the United
States as to the truth ot the criticisms.
The reply received was that all juries
who have examined the agricultural
exhibit pronounce it excellent , in
which the commissioner general
agrees. This ought to bo satisfactory
to most people , and will probably mol
lify Secretary Rusk. For all that , the
critics will find fault with the exhibit ,
and apparently they have considerable
cause for it.
Tin : old cratot-s in the S'urra Nevada
mountains have not ina'do muu5i of a
stir for homo timo.Itis highly proba
ble , however , that they will bo hoard
from nt no distant day , as an almost
ceaseless trembling of the earth
has been felt and internal rum
blings have boon hoard by the
people living in Lo.'sou county , Cal
ifornia. A smoking volcano tun thous

drawing card for California to tuld to

NKW YORK CITY is about to spend
five million dollars on street pavements ,
and Mayor Grant has insisted that all
necessary excavations and underground
work shall bo completed previously.
Many cities might profit by the mayor's
foresight , and thus , by u little attc-u-
'tiou , avoid the absurdity of breaking
up streets immediately after being
paved. The Omaha streets uro paved
with In-attontions.
LAXDS THAN' OUIiS.
Notwlthstandlnc the expressed belief ot
Count Knlnoky , that the peace ot Europe is
not nt nrcieni endangered , there can bo no
question that the country south of the IJ.in-
ube is Just now in an unusually InlHmmablo
condition , nnd that the czar is not unlikely
to apply the torch ns soon nt he can do it
with a reasonable ctmnco of safety. That
chance will Imvo arrived when Franco is
willing to attack Gonnuny mong the Hhlno.
Then the altormittvo to war would bo that
partition of the JJalkun region bouvcou
Russia and Austria to which the Magyars
have thus fur shown themselves opposed ,
and against which Montenegro would cer
tainly protest. The droaui in which the
prince of Montenegro U at present encour
aged by his Kussian natron Is the revival of
the old Servian empire , ( unbracing not only
the present kingdom and Bosnia nnd Herzo-
goviiux , but also the Sorb-spoalclng provinces
of Austria. Such hopes would doubtless bo
rudely expelled if Austria would accept
Surviu nnd a section of Macedonia , iiicludinpr
Salonlca , and pormlt the c/.ar in turn to oc
cupy Bulgaria , the district or Adrlanoplo
and Constantinople. Most of the London
newspapers , in their rccout discussion of this
umttor , oplnu that the Vicmnu uovormnont
will in the end agree to a partition of the
kind. There is no sign , however , of any
change of fooling on the part of tlio Hun-
parlans. On the contrary , during the recent
session of their diet at Huila-l'esth their
objections to any further absorption of Slav
elements wcro repeatedly dcolared. Tlio
Magyars find it difllcult enough , as It is. to
control the Sorbi comprised within the
Trnnsloithan kingdom , nnd they would never
make such concessions to thorn in Count
von Taafo has made to the Czechs in the
Clsloltlmn moloty of the empire. Their
opposition to the occupation of Bosnia and
Hcr/egoviua was only allayed oy placing
these provinces under an independent ad
ministration , That expedient could not bo
applied , should Austria acquire n largo
section of the Balkan punlnaula , stretching
from the Dauubu to the ; K0roan. Then the
Tranaloithan kingdom would have to under
take Its share of the worlc of assimilation ,
but the task would bo Impracticable for the
Magyars , who are already lu a majority.
Instead of maintaining n preponderance over
their Slavic fellow subJocU , they would sco
tholr nationality subordinated und effaced.

The present disturbed condition of Belgium
Is rluo to tbo opposition by the ministry to
the popular demands for a revision of the

to have acquired as a coallit ? nnd naval
station , nnd n Russian man-of-war now con
trols all landings mid departures thero. For
several ycara this project of Russia haa been
spoken of. At ono time she was said to have
seized Quclport , n large island exceedingly
uoil situated for approach to China , Japan ,
and Corea ; but Its lack of n good anchorage
In n sea sweptod by fierce storms during a
part of the year \vas an impediment to carryIng -
Ing out that plan. Then it was alleged that
she had her eyes on Port LazoroiT , In Bough-
ton Bay , n good harbor on the eastern coast
ot Corca , and well sheltered by the Nukhlm-
ofi Peninsula. It was even reported that
China made up her mind to anticipate tlio
seizure of this place by sending troops thoro.

Peru appears to bo about to fall Into new
troubles. The prolonged hitch over the rail-
licution of thn compact with the holders of
Peruvian bonds has now given way to a
political crisis of tlio sharpest kind. The
Ujughnomore contract failed of legal ratifi
cation through the pjrsistant absence from
their seats of a number of members of the
house of deputies , who too'.t that , way of de
feating a measure extremely obnoxious to
them. President Caocres has responded by a
dccreo declaring thu scats of thosa obstruc
tionist deputies vacant. A cry of protest
at once came up from tbo departments
thus summarily doyrlvo.1 of representa
tion. The reply of the president
(
was the dlsp.Ucjimg of a body of
troops to quell the- rising discontent ,
nnd to urrost qll thosa who hud the

The IJolajcoa Bay railroad , over which has
arisen the uending dispute between England
and Portugal , would , if completed , open the
region wntnrod by the Xambesl rlvor to com
merce nnd establish direct connection be
tween Dolagoa Bay and Pretoria , the most
considerable settlement in the Transvaal.
Nearly eighteen months ago fifty-four milea
of the road were formally opened to trafilo
by the Portugese governor of Mozambique
In the prcsunco of rcDroscntatlvos of Capo
Colony , Transvaal and Natal. Taking advantage -
vantage of the alleged violations of contract ,
the Portugese In Mozambique concluded to
wlpo out the rights of the English owners of
the road. Hut the homo government in Lis
bon has prudently ii-jreed to submit the
whole Question to arbitration. There is ac
cordingly no probability of a serious conflict
between the governments of England and
Portugal over this railroad and the region it
traverses. There is certainly not the slight
est occasion Tor this government to mlnglo in
the fray.

LINCOLN , .July 5.1
"I see Hint THK BF.R says this morning , "
flalcl Auditor Honton , " 'tlmt the utato board
transportation had boon In n stow for eight
dtiya ntul was still bubbling with wrath niul
chagrin. ' So far us I nm concerned 1 know
nothing of the umttor until I saw it In this
morning's UKK. I Imvo not talked with n
slnglo mruibor of the board regarding the
matter. I did hnvo n talk with Secretary
Onrbcr , and In n joking manner told 1 Im
that hu had stolen my thunder. I suggcsliv
to him that his proper course would have
boon to liuvo submitted Ills findings to tlio
board before making thorn publlo. I have
been In favor of n rcduntlon In the coal rates
since our meeting nt Tckamah , nnd so stntod
to Secretary Garbor. There Is no fooling
whatever between Secretary Garbor nnd
myself or any member of the board. I do
not think Gurbor guilty of 'nrtful posing , '
but us having done what ho considered to bo
his simple duty. "
"Slneo my return from the north the busl-
nets of this department haa been so great
that I have not had time to oven read Secre
tary Garber's letter , " said Attorney General
Loose , "und do not know Us contents. If ,
however , us stated , it lowers tlio rate on
coal and lira stock , I am In favor of it , I am
not only in favor of lowering the rates on
these articles , but the rates in general are
too high In this state. I will give the letter
careful consideration before the meeting of
the board of transportation , nnd will act In
the matter as I believe for the best interests
of the pcoplo of the statu. I Imvu had no
conversation with nny member of the board
regarding Mr. Garber's removal , and I will
sustain him or nny other member of the
board for making reductions on freight rates.
I can say further that no member of the
board over said anything to me about asking
for his resignation. Such a suggestion even
is an Injustice to him. I have watched him
carefully since his appointment und llnd him
to bo a closu thinker , a hard worker and u
thoroughly conservative- . And I do not
believe that ho will go very far astray. "
"As a matter of fact , " said Secretary of
State Laws , "wo have had no meeting of the
board and tliero is no misunderstanding
between any of its members. I can say , too ,
that so fur as I know ttioro is no misunder.
standing between the board of secretaries.
I never heard of the suggestion that Garbor
might bo asked to resign until I read It in
THE 13r.i : this morning. While I might critciso
Mr. Garbur for hnv'ng ' published his ilndings
on the Sutherland-Manning case , reducing
rates on coal and live stock , in advance of
having submitted them to the board of trans-
portatloni J can also suv that I tlilnk all the
more of him for having given his own
opinion , free from bias and from his own
tundspomt. "
"I was surprised to sco tlio statement In
Tin : BKK this morning , " said Treasurer J. 13
Hill , ' 'that tli ore was trouble between the
state board of transportation and Secretary
Garbor , of the board of secretaries. I think
1 hoard so mo criticism of his course in pub
lishing the report before the board proper
passed upon it , but I am not sure of this.
Since his report the board has not oven hold
a meeting. Garbor is held in high esteem ,
and I am satisfied there lias never been a
whisper to the effect that his resignation was
wanted. I must say Tins BEE bureau has
done him great injustice. "
"In regard to the recommendations mndo
'
by Socre'tary Garbor , I have this to say , "
said Secretary Giichrist , Monday , beforotho
ronort was published , which was on Wednes
day. "I said to Mr. Gnrbor , who was ut that
time working on the report , that I was going
to Grand Island tlmt night nnd might not bo
back for a couple of days. Ho said , 'I liuvo
got this report nearly limshed and want to
submit it to the board as soon as possible. '
I said to him if I don't telegraph to you I
will be back Wednesday. I returned late in
the night Tuesday , and Wednesday morning
saw the report In the dally papers in full for
the first lime. My understanding was that
the report was to bo considered by Gilkinson ,
Garbor and mysulf and then submitted to the
board for their consideration. I signed the
report in the evening of the day that it ap
peared in the morning. My idea of the right
thing to do is to submit any conclusions the
secretaries may arrive nt to the board before
they are submitted to the reporters of tlio
daily press. So far us the report goes , tlmt
this matter has caused unpleasant or disa
greeable relations between Mr. Garber and
myself , there is nothing In it. "
"Yes , I have soon the report in this morn
ing's line about the hair pulling supposed to
bo going on in tbo board of trade transporta
tion , " said Secretary Garber. "It's news to
mo. I haven't scon any fur flying. Every
thing is lovely and harmonious BO far as I
know , and I have talked with about all the
members nnd the secretaries. Some little
dissatisfaction exists , I believe , owing to my
recommendations being mada publiu before
action was taken by the board. But on the
whole I am inclined to think there is a feel
ing of relief at the same time. I think I can
safely say that there existed among nil mem
bers of the board n strong belief in the un
reasonableness of the existing local coiil
rates. The extent of the unreasonableness
was n matter of individual opinion , so far as
conclusions hud been arrived at by any of
the members. To have someone sot the ball
rolling , ho that n conclusion can bo arrived
at wittiouta shouldering of the responsibility
by nny ono individual member is , 1
judge , gratefully received. My idea
on the questions are firmly estab
lished. They nro contained In the report.
My part in the business is done. Whatever
action the board sees lit to take cannot niter
my conviction as to the justness of the pro
posed rates as between the pcoplo and the
railroads. If there is a loaning towards
cither side it Is certainly in favor of the
railroads. I nm convinced 1 could go over
the same ground again and find incontro-
vortablo arguments for a still grcator reduc
tion than is proposed. I may yet have to dose
so in justification of my position. "

Chlonconim Tnko Stops to Organize n
Now ( Jovorninont.
CIUOAOO , July 5. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BEE. | A number of prominent Irish' -
Americans held n private meeting last evening -
ing to discuss the feasibility of organizing nn
Irish-American republic to advance the In
terests of Ireland and the Irish race. After
n lengthy discussion It was unanimously de
cided to adopt n plan of notion formulated
nnd prouosod by William T. Grlflln. Accord
ingly nn organization was perfected , to bo
known ns the Irish-American Kopublio tisoo-
elation , nnd an election of ofllccrs was hold.
After the election of oftlcors , n committee ,
with Newton Corbott as chairman , was np
pointed to call upon prominent Irish nation
alists of the city uiu1 secure tholr cooperation
tion and support. A committee was also ap
pointed to draft n sot of resolutions nnd by
laws to present at the next meeting. ,
It Is the Intention of the projectors of the
association to organize n land syndicate , com
posed of Inlluonlial nnd wealthy Irishmen ,
and send representatives to Canada , Chill ,
Peru and Mexico. The latter country , it is
understood , would bo willing to dispose of
Lower California or n neighboring state
under certain conditions , with the privilege of
establishing nn Irish-American republic
thereon. It is proposed to secure n grant of
land there or elsewhere , sulUelont to ao-
commodato from 2,0011,000 to 10,000,000 of
people , and divert the enormous Immigration
pouring Into this country from Ireland to
this land , erect improvements on the same
nnd furnish immigrants with necessaries
until after crops can bo raised. The money
expended on improvements , , necessaries nnd
land will bo secured by mortgage without
interest , or n very low rate , and collected in
small annual installments , thu same ns rent ,
This money will bo utilized to build tm4
equip n navy , organize an army , dovo'oo the
resources of the country and establish a re
public.
