Now that the viaduct Is so nearly com pleted tlio city council Is confronted by a question that assumes serious proportions. TJmlor the contract with the railroad com panies , the latter advanced all the money required to complete the structure ns well as to pay damages to abutting property owners , with the proviso that tlio final esti mates will bo paid by tlio city. The final estimates now amount ] to about $35,000 , nnd the city has no meaiy to pay them. The work nnd material have been furnished and there Is hardly any way by which the city can ovndo Immediate payment. It Is Romcthlng of n problem for the city council to solve , nnd the prediction Is freely made that the emergency can only be met by the submission of another bond proposition. A great many citizens nro claiming now that the attorneys who drew the contract between - the railroad and the city were very /tweon exacting In looking after the Interests of , iilc. railroads , whllo these of the city were lost sight of. The matter will bo the sub ject of 'an exceedingly lively discussion when It comes up In the city council , as It must within n short time. HE ADVOCATED HAYONETS.

Ho asked the crowd If they sympathized with the Coxoy Idea and then said that unless the armies went to Washington with their demands In ono hand nnd the bayonet In the other they ) might ns well stay at homo. His remarks \\ero listened to In perfect silence. The friends of the Industrial army are today doing everything possible to counteract the sentiments expressed by McHeynolds. They claim ho was not Invited tci speak and that ho was sent to the meeting to discredit hon est laboring men who had taken up the movement In earnest. LINCOLN IN 1JRIEF.

ENGLAND AND GERMANY BOTH WANT HER Niitlvcs of the Islunils Are Quirt , Although tlio A u mi Trllio ItttfiiHcs to DUiirni Treaty I'onrra Salil to Ho 111 Correspondence. ( Copyrighted 1SDI by the Associated Press. ) MELIIOUHNE , Victoria , April 26. Ad vices received hero today from the Samoan Islands , dated April 19 , say there has been no further outbreak upon the part of the na tives who have recently been causing so much trouble to the authorities. The Aana natives , however , still decline to give up their arms in accordance with the agreement arrived at between them and the foreign consuls who have been acting as mediators. The natives base their refusal to disarm on the fact that they are still threatened by the warriors of the govern ment , claiming to apprehend nn attack If they relinquish their weapons. The representative of the French govern ment at Samoa , on behalf of the French mission , has filed a claim for damages , claim ing that the French schools and the property of the mission were destroyed by the gov ernment troops during the recent outbreak. A SECRET UN'DEHSTANDING. To nil appearances some secret understand ing exists between Great IJrltaln nnd Ger many regarding the Samoan Islands nnd this understanding Includes the United States. A person in high authority bora who wad questioned by a reporter of the Associated press regarding the attitude of England nnd Germany In the attempt being made by New Zealand to assume ths administration of the Samoan Islands stated today that the pro tectorate movement upon the part of Great Ilrltaln was progressing with the sanction of the United States government , which Is represented as caring nothing as to who manages Samoa , so long as the rights of the United States under the Ilerlln treaty are continued. Color Is given to this assertion by the United States ambassador , Hon. Thomas F. Ilayard , who , In an Interview today spoke In the highest terms of Sir John Thurston , governor of the FIJI Islands and British com missioner tor the western Pacific. Mr. Bay ard U quoted ns saying : "Tho presence and counsels of a man of such ability would , In my opinion , offer a happy solution to the present dllllcultles. " Mr. Ilayurd added at the same tlmo that ho had received no Information on the. sub ject from his government , either In regard to any present negotiations between the United States , Great Britain and C.jrmany , or In reference to an Impending conference of the three powers Interested In the Samoan Islands. AN OLD RESIDENT TALKS. A gentleman who has Just returned from Samoa nnd who Is the oldest British resi dent there , ns well as the owner of the har bor of Pango-Pango , In nn Interview this afternoon , confirmed the report that the British project of u protectorate over the Samoan islands was Impending.
