TOPEKA , Doc. 5. The adjourned meeting
ofthopnlfnnd interstate railroad conven
tion which was to have met at Representa
tive hall nt 10 o'clock this morning did
not materially , but a few enthusi
asts were gathered nrouud Presi
dent Close nt the governor's ofllco
about the hour the convention should have
been called to order. Every one present was
positive that the noon trains would bring
that by afternoon
In n larger attendance nnd
noon , the convention could bo called to order
with several states at least represented.
Judge Foster of Marlon , who Is a Kansas
delegate to the convention , was the Hrst to
call at the executive ofllco to Inquire what
time and at what plaeo the convention would
niscmblc. No otio seemed to know anything
about It , except tint It would be held nt
Representative hall when enough delegates
pot together to do any business , but the
opinion prevailed that a majority of the uolo-
gates would not ho In attendance. Ihls
morning only one state was represented ,
Missouri , which sent up n delegate from
Kansas City. . . . , , . .
The only onicor present Is Vlco President
Tolllngcr of Iowa. Only seven delegates
had reported up to 10H5 , six of whom wcro
from Kansas City. Ton states should bo
represented according to the call issued
from Lincoln. If enough delegates can bo
secured to constitute a convention , ways
nnd moans will bo discussed as to construc
tion , cost and equipment of the proposed
north nnd south road from Omaha to the
gulf.
gulf.As the noon hour approached the seven
delegates filed Into the big Hcnresentativo
hall reinforced by Alonzo J. Wardoll of North
Dakota , ouo of the enthusiasts who had just
arrived. President Close was almoit
stared out of countenance by the
great array of vacant chairs ns he ranpcd
the coinontlon to order. State house of
ficials , a janitor or two , and several citizens
swelled the audience to twenty-three. J. C.
Illbbaid , for a tlmo Senator Pcffcr's private
secretary , wns formally chosen secretary.
Somn objection was made because he wns
not n delegate , but this wns overruled by u
pacifying remark from President Close :
"This Is everybody's convention , and ollgl-
lillltv dons not nnter into It. "
"This scheme , " said the chairman , JumpIng -
Ing Into the midOlo of the question , and
somewhat startled at the echo of his Intro
ductory words , "is bound to succeed , it
will help the farmers moro than any other
thing. AVe can build and rqulp tlio road for
tlO.OOO a mile , nnd save in live years in
freights enough to cover the total. 1
hnvo received scores of letters from
men In this country nnd Europe
urging forward tlio enterprise. I have hero
loiters from Copenhagen , saying that sev
eral ships have boon built by a firm which
seeks to co-operato with us ut.d carry the
freight from the gulf to the world's foreign
markets. This convention is nonpollticnl.
Six delegates present nl the opening out of
eight were populists , it was called by n re
publican governor ; It is a move of the pee
ple. "
Alonzo J. Wardell spoke enthusiastically
in the sumo strain. The convention ad
journed till 2 : 0. A number of delegates
came In on the noon trains.
In the nfternoon the attendance had in
creased to about fifty. Among the late ar
rivals were four delegates from Nobraskn ,
ono from Texas and- one from Missouri.
Others are looked for on Inter trains. No
men of national prominence hnvo appeared.
The convention has no llxed order of bus
iness. Every delegate who has nny in
formation to give is permitted to speak , the
object being to hold bacic the business until
the Texas trains nrrivo in the expectation
tbnt ex-Governor Ireland or ex-Governor
Ilubbard will como. H. II Keefor of Kansas
City , Mo. , read a long essay on the subject
of food production in the west nnd railroad

Sloddnrd of Nebraska , H. A. Reefer nnd H.
M. Drake of Missouri , M. II. Kcmpton of
Texas and A. Word ell of South Dakota.
At < the evening session the committee reported -
ported a series of resolutions embrac
ing n plan for bulldinir a single track
railroad from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico. The plan provides for n board
df eleven provisional directors , ono from
each state through which the road is to
pass , this board to have full charge of the
preliminary work , for which they are to re
ceive legitimate oxpencbs nnd fctf per day for
services. 1C is made the duty of the board
to proceed nt once to receive necessary char
ters , procure right of way nnd es
tablish a bureau of information. The
board Is empowered to build the road
nt the lowest posslblo cost , the
ownership to routlnuo in the hands of the
directors as trustees and under no circnm-
btances to bo transferred to a corpnrat lou or
n private Individual , but it is provided that
the government ipny at nny tlmo purchnu
the road at nctual coil. Money is to bo pro
vided by popular issue of construction bonds
innmountnof ft each nnd multiples thereof ,
up to $1,000 , the bonds to run forty years at 5
per cent interest. They nro tirst to bo offered
to the school funds of the several states In

P they are to bo sold In open mnrkci to the
If- best possible ndvantace. The plan also pro-

RESULT OF MISMANAGEMENT
Receiver Appointed for the Chicago Trust
and Savings Bank ,
PRESIDENT TOLMAN'S ' CLAIMS DISPUTED
Capital Stock Doubled liut No Now .Money
rnld In Knnnns City Unpltnllili
Charged with Orttnd
Ijirceny.
CniCAOo , Deo. 5. William M. Robertson
wns appointed receiver for the Chicago
Trust and Savings bank this afternoon. This
action wns the outcome of a regular meeting
of the board of directors held today. The
directors passed n resolution that Tolman ,
the president , had mismanaged the affairs
of the bank and converted largo sums of
monuy belonging totho bank by transferring
largo amounts of commercial paper that
were uncollootablo and using the money of
the hank to further his Individual interests.
In 18ST the capital stock was Increased from
* r , QDO to $230,000. fully paid up. The bill
states that In 183B the capital stock wns in
creased to $500,000 , but that no now capital
was paid In , each ot the stockholders
being glvon a double amount of stock.
Several months ago the stockholders decided
to quit business and divide tno stock among
themselves In contormtty with this
business was stopped nnd for several months
the bank has been paying off its depositors.
The bill then sols forth thnt President
Tolmnn has informed the directors that ho
is an unpaid depositor of the bank to the
amount of $175,001 ; that his brother , S. A.
Tolman , U nn unpaid depositor also to the
amount of $25,000 ; that there is about
$20,000 owing to savings depositors anil that
the entire assets consist of n llttlo over
$000,000. The amount Mr. Tolman Is cred
ited with consists ot notes and bills receiv
able , a largo amount of wlilch is past duo
and uncolleotablc. and it is doubtful if the
stockholders will receive anything whan
the business Is settled up. The directors ,
claim thnt Tolman has grossly mismanaged
the concern and that there is no money duo
him.

Ullloori oT the Contliiontiil Trust Company
Arrested at KIIIIIUH City.
KAX3A3 Cur , Jeo. ) 5. Warrants for the
arrest of George S. Toulmln , president of
the suspended Continental Trust company ,
and Horace S. Linn , vice president and
treasurer of the same institution , were is
sued this afternoon on complaint of County
Prosecutor Maroy K. Brown. They are
charged witn tne crime ot grand larceny by
receiving n deposit of $788 while they know
that their company wns In an insolvent con
dition.
The appraisement of the bank's assets
show that tno chief debtors of the bank at
the time of its failure were Directors Linn ,
Toulmin and Hoffman/-- Their indebtedness ,
ns evidenced by their notes , amounted to al
most the full amount of the deposits , which
were about ? 115,000. SInce the assignment
both Toulmln nnd Linn have deeded prop
erty to Assignee Young as further security
of their dobts. Iho property turned in bv
Toulmln is said to bo heavily incumborcd.
and that turned In by Linn Is stated to bo of
small value.
Tiio appraisers were John W. Byors and
James II. Chandler. Their appraisement is
somewhat surprising In view of the fact
that depositors have received only 8 per
cent of their deposits. It places a total
valuation on tne assets of $115,820.20. The
notes , among which. are Toulmln's , Unn's
nnd Hoffman's are appraised at 309,734.90.

In llrnzli.
An audience of BOO nt the First Methodist
uhurch last evening heard Bishop Newman
deliver a lecture on ' 'South America.
Mayor Bom is presided.
After speaking of the wonderful resources
of the southern continent , Its climutlo
advantages nnd its commercial possibilities ,
the bishrfp referred to the present revolution
in Brazil. Ho said thnt Mnrtlncz , who
makes his headquarters at Rio Granda do
Sul , wns really the central llguro , Mello nnd
other loaders wore merely tools In his
hands. Martinez ho rognrded as the
prime mover in a colossal conspiracy that
hud been formed for the purpose of over
throwing Iho existing government of Brazil
nnd substituting n government simitar to the
ouu now oxistin ? in England. Martinez
wanted a King and parliament shaped on this
plan.
Bishop Nowmnn said that Martinez bore a
striking resemblance to Charles Sumner and
was a brainy man who would eventually
succeed in his dcslcns.
The speaker then praised Pat Eg-ansaylng
tlmt ho was a splendid diplomat and the
right man in the right place at the right
time. He also spoke in comuionnable terms
of oil ox-President Harrison's appointees
to positions in South American capitals. The
bishop said with emphasis that England
was seeking to control the financial policy of
South America , but would , never control or
dictate the finances of America.
After the lecture Bishop Newman was en
tertained bj Mr. Paul at the Paxtou. Thu
bishop will leave for Mncon , Ma , today.
Af tor delivering a lecture at that plr.ce he
will proceed to Scrauton , Pa. , whore ho will

the committee to take up the tariff question
immediately. . It hns been supposed the
question 'would bo allowed to rest In this
stnto until the Wilson bill should bo pnsscd
by the house of representatives nnd re
ported to the senate in the regular order of
business.
Mr. Voorhoes , ns chairman of the com-
mlttco of the meeting today , brought up the
subject and gave it as his opinion the condi
tion ot the buslnois interests of tnn country
is such that the committee should use all
expedition possible in the consideration of
the question , so as to bo able to report to
the senate on the bill at the earliest possi
ble day nftor the bill comes over , to the end
it may bo soon reported and passed upon by
the sonata at the earliest practicable tlmo.
Ho suggests that , with tno vlow of accom
plishing this purpose , the members of the
majority of the committee should begin at
once to hold dally meetings. There was no
opposition to this course ,
It Is understood the republican members
coincided In the idea that it would lie best to
have the bill reported as soon ns It can bo
without passing lightly over any of the mat
ters.
IMnns to Mnkn Up the 8GOOOOOOO Deficit.
The decision of the ways nnd means com-
mlttcc not to take up the tariff bill till Mon
day loaves the time for Its being reported to
the house In great doubt. When the com
mittee ttiltcs it up next Monday there will
bo a general discussion , and the republicans
may oocldo to offer amendments. The dem
ocrats of the committee have boon consult
ing , and , while no agreement has been *
reached , there scorns to bo n tacit under
standing thnt the bill , oven If reported before -
fore the holidays , will not now bo called up
for consideration until after the holiday re
cess.
cess.Tho committee has made comparisons and
estimates which show the deficiencies
created by the Wilson bill will bo about
JGO.000,000 a year. This Is in addition to the
deficiency now oxlstlntr. but the estimates
are that the differences in the revenue under
the now bill will be $00,000,000 , nnd it Is to
make up this amount the committee will
direct itself In the preparation of increases
of internal revenue taxes. Between now
nnd next Monday the majority members of
the committee will prepare a measure for
making up the dotlcit.

Mr. Dnlzotl of Pennsylvania , a member of
the committee , raised n point today which
will bo considered by the committee. The
'
now bill puts'petroleum on the free list.
The present law doos.not include petroleum ,
but it is classed as , distilled oil.
Mr. MoMillin says it was the intention of
the committee to plale'o petroleum on the free
list. Mr. Dalzoll says If tnts is done it will
break every oil mnniin.his state.

tor Vent. One comds from the Merchtftifs

Stuto Manic Tax.
Tuo banking and currency committee had
'
qulto a spirited meeting'today. . During the
discussion it developed that there was con-
slder'aolc disappointment among those fav
oring the repeal of the state bank tax because -
cause the president said nothing on the
subject in his message. Mr. Johnson is re
ported ns having said there was nothing fur
ther for this committee to do and thought it
might as well look up nnd go homo. Never
theless , the committee decided to ga on with
the consideration of sorno bill for repealing
the tax and will meet Friday for that pur
pose.
