THE OMAHA .DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , MAY 4 , 1804.

May 3. ( Spclal to The Bee. ) Govern r Cronnie Rtated to The lite this afternoon that lie WES highly pe ! rt with the ( Iccisl'in of the supreme court In the case brutight by himself to teat the Uw requiring the state treasurer tu Invest the perniauent ncl'ool fund Iti state warrants. "The decision Is In every way nails- factory to myself , " Bald the governor. 'Tndcr the Juclslon. there can be no possible excuse for the further evasion of th law , although It Is likely that other technical objections may be raised. I hope the Board of Edti'jt ' onal Lands and Funds will hold a meeting immediately and Instruct the treasurer to purchase a large amount of the outstanding warrants and thug save the In terest for the use cf the temporary school fund. As I understand the decision , the board can by resolution direct the treasnri r to Invest a stated amount In warrants at a stated price. Then when that amount Is expended the board may by furlnc ; resolution direct the treas urer to make another purchase. Of course , the board rany Instruct the treasurer that In case any warrants arc presented that may seem to him to be Invalid , ho may hold such Individual warrants for the Inspection of the board , but this , I apprehend , will not occur. As far as I am concerned , the Uoaru of Public Lands and Buildings will take Imme diate action. " Secretary of State Allen , also a member of the Board of Purchase and Supplies , had not rend the full opinion carefully , but stated that he approved Us general provisions. He thought thn main difficulty In the way of the enforcement of the law was to secure the warrants. Unless tire board could authorize the treasurer to pay a premium ho did not nee haw parties holding warrants could be compelled to surrender them and thus lose the premium tlmt they now command. War rants for less than $100 , said the secretary of state , do not command par , and the decis ion will enable the holders of small warrants to get their money at once. To this extent , nt least , he believed the decision of the su preme court was a good one. MAY HAVE A NEW EXCHANGE. Tlio prospects that Lincoln will have anew now telephone company are Improving. It is stated on good authority that A. D. Kitchen and other well known citizens have Interested themselves In the project and that they have been in correspondence with several eastern parties. The fact that the new telephone ordinance refused to give the Nebraska Telephone company an exclusive franchise Is freely commented upon In Lincoln. The first ordinance Introduced - ' -duced gave that company practically the ex clusive right to operate a telephone system in Lincoln. It was defeated largely through the efforts of Councilman George Woods , who prepared and offered the substitute ordinance which was passed Tuesday night. Tbo substitute ordinance hardly meets the approbation of the Nebraska Telephone com pany , and it is freely predicted that they will bo In no hurry to commence the ex tensive Improvements which they have so long promised In the way of underground wires , a flro proof building and a new awltch board.

Holt , the man wuo has secured Lin coln park for the ensuing season denies the statement that he Intends to run it as a beer gardrau In a card published in the Lincoln papers this afternoon he says : "For the benefit of my many friends and tha public at large , I wish to state that my plans for conducting Lincoln Park the com ing summer are to make It a first class family resort , where a man can take or send bis wife or daughter , knowing they vlll be protected from harm or Insult. I intend removing my family to the park for the summer , and this fact alone would give the 3Io to the rumors referred to. The fact of my uot making the- change In the manage ment public was owing to arrangements not yet perfected. At the proper time due announcement will be made of the opening. I hope my long residence and square deal ing In Lincoln will shield me from the scandalous tongue of envious parties well known to me. " _ Interesting Hutting I.ltlgntlou. HASTINGS , May 3.

The attichjjcnt was sustained. Some little time after Mrs. Anna D. Elnspahr brought an action against Cox , administrator , for conversion , Yeaznl hav ing In the meantime died. She c'almed that < he property attached and not replevled be longed to her under a secret bill of sale from lier husband. After a lengthy trial a ver dict awarding her $6,000 was brought In , and Judgment rendered accordingly. It Is this Judgment that Is reversed.

Pamphlet of Sir Joseph McKennn Crerxtra Suniotrlint of u Sensation. LONDON , May 3. At this morning's ses sion of the International -Bimetallic confer ence at the Mansion house , Sir William II. Houldsworth , who was the delegate of Great Britain at the monetary conference at Brus sels , read a paper on the "Effects upon Agriculturists , Manufacturers , Wage Earners , Merchants. Bankers and Investors of the Fall In the General Level of Prices , " M. Thery , one of the French delegates , warmly urged the establishment of an In ternational bimetallic league. The proposal was cordially supported , and It Is generally believed that It will be carried Into effect. A pamphlet upon the silver question has Just been published by Sir Joseph McKenna , ex-director of the National Bank of Ireland. The pamphlet Is creating a sensation in financial circles and at the bimetallic con ference. It Is devoted to proving that Lord Liverpool's legislation of 1S1C was simply a fraud , the object being to cheat the public out of 4 shillings In each pound , troy weight , of new coin. U Is added that Lord Liverpool made that paltry gain not for himself , but for the treasury. Sir Joseph McKenna ac quits Lord Liverpool of Intentional dishon esty , and prefers to attribute the fraud to his stupidity. The sllverites claim that when this is understood It will strongly establish public opinion in favor of the reestablishment ment of bimetallism. WASHINGTON , Slay 3.

The _ rumors that have been floating about for some days of changes In the proprietorship of 'the Inter Oceanwere _ today verified. Mr. II. II. Kohlsaat , who for three years has been publisher of the paper and proprietor of the majority of the stock , disposed of his entire interest to William Perm Nixon , who lias been editor of the paper for more than eighteen years. The gentlemen lire warm friends , but In some points they have not agreed as to the management. Mr. Kohlsaat was young and ambitious and desired to control nil departments. But not wishing to create friction he pro posed to Mr. Nixon terms on which he would buy or sell , and the latter accepted his offer to sell and purchased Mr. Kohl- saut's entire holdings. Mr. Kohlsaat was also repaid for all advances made to the company. It is undertood he received about $400,000. Mr. Nixon said : "There will be no change In the character of the paper. There is no political scheme under the transfer and the paper will continue the advocate- republican policies , but be the organ of no man or set of men. " During his administration Mr. Kohlsaat spent money freely , largely Increasing the business and circulation of the paper. He- has added greatly to the newspaper plant and leaves it bettered by more than $100,030. He sails for Europe with his family next week. It is understood that It was through the aid of personal friends tjutt Mr. Nixon was able to make the purchase. The names of these ' friends are not known to the public. Mr. Nixon already owned a large interest In the paper and Mr. Kohlsaat bad a con trolling interest. The men who took Sir. Kohlsaat's Interest are said to be William Henry Smith , formerly of the Associated press ; Delavan Smith , Ills son ; R. S. Peale and two or three others. No authorita tive figures are given , though Mr. Kohl- snat's price Is said to be somewhere be tween ISil.OOO and $27JtlOO. Mr. Nixon had a controlling interest by virtue of trusteeship when Mr. Kohlsaat bought in nearly three years ago. Mr. Nixon picked up a controlling Interest for him , buying from forty or more stock holders all over the country. Mr. Kohl- I , saat at once devoted himself actively tu | the ntjwn department , Mr. Nixon contlnlnK i himself to the editorial page. There had | i never been any actual clash between the ; two men. They are , however , of widely different temperaments , and held more or less different opinions as to the paper's policy. This naturally was not entirely pleasant and last January , it is said , Mr. Kohlsaat , to avoid any possibility ot trouble , offered to buy or sell , or to allow Mr. Nixon to retain his Interest , provided Mr. Nixon withdrew from active manage ment. The latter propqjiltion was not acceptable to Mr. Nixon. ' and he finally agreed to buy or sell l/y-noon May 3 , later notifying Mr. Kohlsaat that he would buy. Mm. AVottou'H ORANGE , Mass. . May 3.

SAN FRANCISCO , May 3. The Chronicle prints the following Honolulu correspond ence , under date of April 15 , received via Port Townsend by the United Sttites steam ship Adams : HONOLULU , April 1C. News of the ap pointment of Admiral Walker to succeed Admiral Irwin and the announcement of the intention of the United States to take pos session of Pearl harbor and establish a coaling and naval station , received here on the 10th by a vessel , followed by the ar rival of Admiral Walker two days later , has set the populace to talking , and many con jectures are being made us to the result of the admiral's appointment and instructions. The royalist papers declare that the admiral comes for the -purpose of taking possession of Pearl harbor and that as soon as It is accomplished he will proceed to organize a new government. They even go so far as to say that Admiral Walker will restore the ex-queen to the throne. The provisional government and annexa tion press construe Admiral Walker's ap pointment and presence to mean that the United States has had a change of heart aid that the government assuming control of Pearl harbor sets at rest all doubt OR to the course of the United States toward Hawaii and ultimate annexation. This view Is based on reports and advices re ceived from the Hawaiian minister at Wash ington. Thus far Admiral Walker has not given out what he intends to do In this country. There Is a serious spilt in the ranks of the royalist party through the efforts of the number desiring to poso' as leaders. They expect to receive information from their agent in the United States by the next steamer as to the hope of restoring the queen. If the reply is In the negative it Is anticipated that the party will rush Into politics and endeavor to have all members of the constitutional convention elected , with a material change In the oath of al legiance. Delegates from nearly all of the districts in the Islands have been nominated , and matters In connection with the constitutional convention are running smoothly. There is not the least excitement prevalent In the Islands. VALLEJO , Cal. , May 3. The Ranger has all stores on board und is ready for sea.
