City Comptroller Goodrich was calm , cool
, nd collected yesterday M ho looked after
the duties ol Uls olllco whllo waiting for the
much talked of viaduct bonds to pub In an
tppcaranco. Ho had received satisfactory us-
turanccs that the bonds would bo returned
to 111 in and to this fact and ngood digestion
i bis peaceful frame of mind largely duo.
comptroller Tuesday watted upon
Vlco President Klmball of the Union Pacific ,
and was assured 03 * that gentleman In the
l > rcscnco of witnesses that , should tbo state
auditor turn over the bonds to him ho would
promptly return them to tbo city comptroller.
The mayor likewise waited upon Mr. Hoi-
flrcgc , general manager of the B , & M. , and
received similar assurances. These comfort
ing words from representatives of the only
Iwo roads figuring In the union depot coinpa-
by satisfied the comptroller that all was well.
When culled uponyestcrday morning bosntd
that ho did not thlnfc that tlio bonds had yet
been recorded ana did not bcllevo that they
would ho until ho had an opportunity to
BCO the nutlltor. Ho wni very \\cll pleased
with the outloolc. Ho was certnln that the
Union depot company would not stoop to qies-
tlonnblo methods regarding the bonds , as
thus far , to use the comptroller's ( expression ,
"tho city had the dead wood on "em. "
Further inquiry revealed the fact that the
rlccdx to the lots recently acquired by the
company liavo not yet been signed nor turned
aver , and the injunction restraining the do-
Uveryof the bonds also enjoins the delivery
tt these deeds.

Speaking of tlio existing situation between
the Itock Island nnd Milwaukee companies
nnd the Union 1'aclflc , General Solicitor
Thurston said :
"Tho point at Issue does not in tlio slight
est degree effect the matter of the mo of the
UrJon depot or the Union Pacllio bridge by
tl'J ' passenger trains of either company , nnd
the oor.tract with the city of Omaha will bo
carried out with respect thereto In the utmost
good faith. There Is no disposition whatever
on the part of nny ofllcinh of the
Union Pacific to prevent either of these com
panion coining into thu union depot on tbo
Jilaa proposoii In the ordinance under which
the city bomls were voted. The real ques
tion nt Issue Is this ; A lenso was oxccutod
Wltn these coiripanlo.i whereby all the mnln

"To provo the utmost good fnlth of the
Union I'nciilo so far as the people of Omaha
nro concerned , it is only necessary to read
the provisional undertaking nnd arrangement
"between Mr. Oould ana Vlco President Bond
of the Milwaukee road , mudo la Now York
oayesterday , which is as follows :
" Provisional agreement between the TInlon
Faclllo limit liu Chicago , Milwaukee A. St. Paul.

unit tracks from Council HlutH to Onmhu fur

that ho respective rights of Iho Halil parties
Bliall not by reason hornet In nnv wlso bo al
tered. atTectpd or Impulreu. Any party may
tcriuliinto this inirtk'uliir contract on thirty
duj-H notice- , und fall buck on the existing
status without projnulco to either. '
"This agreement , which Is ns fair ns could
Ijo asked for , and which permitted the Mil
waukee rend to run Its passenger trains as it
had Intended , was rejected today by Presi
dent Miller of tbo Milwaukee road , who so
advised Mr. Clark by wire.
'Tho question , therefore , Is not as to
whether or not the Milwaukee or Hoclc Is
land roads shall run their trains Into Omalm.
Taut it Is ns to whether or not they are to bold
n lease of a very valuable portion of the
Union Pacific road for 090 years , during
which tlmo they will fix their own rates , col-
Icoct their own tolls , for freight and passen
ger business under tbo franchises grouted
exclusively to the Union Pacltlo by tlio
United States.
"In thU snuio connection , I dcslro to notlco
the foolish and uncalled for application for
nn Injunction , nn account of which I saw In
the morning p.wers , which purports to bo an
action to restrain almost everybody from dU-
poshiKof the bonds of' the city of Omalm
issued to the Omaha Union depot company ,
a'ho citv comptroller , having failed to secure
tbo registration of thcso bonds at Lincoln
owing to the absence of the state oftlcors ,
allowed Mr. Klmball to take thorn on his per
sonal assurance thnt ho would secure tticlr
registration nnd return thoin to the comp
troller. Any ono who knows Mr. Klmball
knows that bo hnd no other Intention nnd
Hint it Is moro nonsense to think that tlio
Union depot company or the Union Paelflo Is
engaged In the business of attempting to
occuro these bonds by a trick of logordomuln.
"Tho bonds have been fairly earned by the
compnny , Thcra Is no question as to their
legality , and the auditor of state now has nn
order signed by Mr. Kimbull directing him
to tarn the bonds over when tticlr registra
tion is completed to the city comptroller.
Iain advised th at the registration will bo
completed ana the comptroller will have the
bonds on Friday next.
To any ono who looks at this matter from
the simple question of dollars and cents. It
might suggest Itself that the Union Pacltlo
could innko n great deal of jnonoy by refusing
to take thcso bonds and hnvo the Union depot
and brtdga run without regard to the
agreement contained in the ordinance under
which the bonds are Issued. The fact of It
is , however , that the t.roseut management of
the company Is In entire harmony with the
people of Omalm on tbu question of establish
ing u union passenger station Into which the
tralni of nil roads may bo run on term ) that
nro fair ant ) just. "
Mr. IJentoii niul tlio Iloncln ,
Auditor IJenton arrived In the city nt 11 : RO
o'clock yesterday morning nnd Immediately
proceeded to satisfactorily explain his action
with reference to the bonds. Ho stated thnt
the bonds were delivered to him by Mr. ICinv
ball's private secretary nnd ho was therefore
res pan si bio to Mr. Ktmball for them. Said
ho : ' 'Whca Mr. ( Joodrlca brought the
bonds to mo ho wanted n receipt
for them , and I refused to glvo it.
I liavo made U a custom during thn twelve
years 1 have been In oftlco not to glvo n re
ceipt for bonds , but to return them to the
mnn who gave them or let them go on Ids or
der. Thlswiswhv I could not return the
viaduct bonds to Air. Goodrich. I had no
personal feeling or Interest in the mattcrand
only noted lo protect my.self.
"A wrong impression has gone out regard Ing
my purported nction In refusing to hare the
sheriff ( tcrvo the Injunction on me. I was In
bed and had been so much annoyed during
the past few weeks by midnight visits from
men In the employ of tlio con install tain the
election contest that I gnvo Instructions that
I was not to bo disturbed , but could bo seen
at my oflko on the following dny. That -as
why I did not got up. Thcso men did not
announce their business , aud I did no
know who they wore , or I would
certainly hnvo. gene to the door.
It Is nil arranged now that the bonds are to
bo returned to the comptroller. Mr. Klmbull
has glvon mo hiHtrui'tlons to that effect "
Mr. Benton slowed the following letter ,
and allowed a copy of It to bo tnkon :

OMAHA. Dec. 31. To the Kditor of TUB
BISK : Onoof the most important questions
affecting the citizens of Omaha nt present Is
how shall we maintain In the future the era
of prosperity the city has enjoyed
during the past flvo years.Vo
have now paved neatly ah our
streets that needed paving.Vo have completed -
ploted a system of sewerage through out the
city that amply meets our requirements and
In n very short tlmo wo shall hnvo finished
nearly , If not all , our public buildings and
other publiclinpravoiucuts that ivero needed.
To bring about the present metropolitan con
dition of the city u vast army of workmen of
every description hnd to bo employed and
this stimulated commercial activity uioro
than anything else.
But the question now arises , what can wo
do in the future to give employment to the
mechanics nnd others that nro hcroi I pro
pose to lay down a plan for your considera
tion nnd tnat of the public that in my opinion
would solve the dllllcu'ty ' , and that is that
the citizens of Omaha nnd Doughis county
petition the coming state legislature to pass
a special net authorizing the city of Omaha
and Douglas county to issue special bonds to
the amount of $ . " ) , UOO,000 , to boused for the
construction of ncnunl from the IClhhoni
river through Douglas county and tlio city of
Omaha to the Missouri river , and to chmige
the channel of the ISlkhoru river to the pro
posed canal. The management of the con
struction of the canal should bo intrusted to
aboard of llvo commissioners elected by the
people. Tlio canal could housed for supply
ing power to factories and other establish
ments thut need power , nnd also for the
drainage of the city. Our present drainage
Is far too small to drain that part of the
county lying west of Thirtieth street. If
this project was successfully carried out , I
feel certain thnt theio would bo no tnoro
question about the future prosperity of our
Kreat and growing metropolis.
FlIAMC .T. IvASPAIl.
Regarding this suggestion Mr. Andrew
Ilosowater , civil engineer , says :
The legislature can not pass special acts
under our constitution. A general act ,
however , for such improvements , providing
a method of condemnation for right of tvny
and appraisement of damages from diverting
channels of streams , etc. , could bo passed ,
A canal from Klkhorn into Omaha , however -
over , is not feasible , but n canal for water
power to Homo elevated point above Papllllon
valley near Seymour Park is practicable.
From the summit in thnt vicinity , water
would ha-e a fall of 100 foot or more Into the
Pnpilltou which would nocd to bo enlarged
and deepened and thus servo as an outlet.
Water and water power for from fi.OOO tolU-
000 liorso power could bo secured at a cost
probably of loss than ono-hnlf of the amount
named.

II , J. Johnson , nn insurance agent repre
senting a foreign company , filed a complaint
In police court Tuesday afternoon charging
M , J , Burns , secretary nud manager of the
ts'ubrasha flro Insurance company , with hav
ing committed fraudulent and illegal ncta In
falling to file with the county clerk a aw orn
statement to the effect that , the company had
complied with the law nud was authorized to
do business In the state.
M. .f. Hums , upon whom was served n
notlco of arrest , was interviewed yester
day by n Unn reporter. Ho said :
"Thcso proceedings are in my opinion an
attempt on the part of nnoutslJo Insurance
company to make war upon the various hqmo
companies nnd to injure mid discredit them
in tliuir business for the purpose of Increas
ing thereby their own business in Nebraska.
"Tho ground upon which the arrest was

was not properly ( lied In the olllcooftho
clerk of Douglas county. The certificate ns
filed by throe icadinc companies are substan
tially the same , and were tiled la uqcorilnnco
with directions of their legal adviser , and I
understand it h believed by the best legal
authority that the local companies have all
complied with the law in every particular.
"This attempt to make a personal attack
upon the secretary of a homo company
upon n pretext , which at best , could bo b.utn
morn technicality , Is very clear evidence that
the local com | ianics nro mailing It cxticmcly

turers'association hereafter no boxes would
bo allowed to bo returned by dealers after
soap had been sold.
It was also decided that the custom or giv
ing cue box of .soap free with every ten hoxys
of soap ordered would bo abolished.
The abolition of this custom was accom

tricious inducement to purchasers of soip.
Hnllrond rates had l > ocn discussed , but
nothing conclusive was decided upon.
Prices were talked about nnd it was de
cided that they should bo neither reduced nor
raised.
A long discussion took place over jobbers
and manufacturers to determine when a uinti
