LINCOLN" , Oct. . 13 , ( Special. ) The mib-
Ject of jury bribing continues lo he. the all-
/ilisnrbltu ; tuple of conversation on the street * ,
in the court house , hotels and other places
nlriut the city.
.N'ot only were the attorneys out In full
force at the Investigation , but a large num
ber of citizens was present as. well , many of
v ' ntn hail Intereita In cases which arc on
tti docket for this term , and consequently
Vvti ! anxious lo see to just what extent the
lunds of justice would be exerted.
The result of ( he court's action dlil not
ntrlke everybody In that llghl. The promise
that the mailer would be Investigated Is
Itterpreteil In some 'quarters as meaning
simply that after the present flurry Is overj I
Dm matter will be allowed to drop.
These state as their reasons that there has
never been a person convicted of jury bribing
In the history of Lancaster county , although
In I lines past , and Indeed , within the past
elx months , cases of the most glaring ami
opparnnt attempts at bribery have come lie-
lore , the court's notice , and was of universal
l.-rowjedgo still nothing was over done.
Many attorneys claim thut no such tiling
( is jtifltlcn can be- had here , nnd Indeed can ,
In five cases out ot ten. prophesy correctly as
to the verdict that will be reached In cases
yhcrti justice should win but docs not.
On being interviewed today several of the
nttorneys expressed the hope that the Lan
caster County liar association would lake
U > e matter up at once and rec what could

TOPEKA , Oct. 23. The protectlves , headed
by General Tracey , havp > scored the lltet
point In the Santa Fo light. Their advantage
may be only temporary , but It la a decided
one lor the time being. They have tied the
har ot the majority by an Injunction which
der the use ot ( lie cumulative system
ofmil voting. If the general reorganization com-
mil tee represented by the board ot directors
refuses to adopt the cumulative system then
the court's order forbids an election until a
hearing on the Injunction takes place. The
time set for this hearing Is October 29.
There will In any case bo no election of di
rectors today , for the directors' committee
has ! decided to resist the cumulative plan of
voting proposed by the protectlves , who are
In the minority anil have no hope for a rep
resentative on the board except under the
system In question. The order from the
United Slates court Is thus In force. The di
rectors" committee will make n strong re-
slsterice to the restraining order on Monday
next.
next.The
The restraining order Issued
. . was by Judge
Foster ot the United Stales district court late
last night. The movement lo obtain Itwus
a bit of strategy by the protectives which
the opposition did not anticipate. They looked
for _ a. fight llrst In the meeting and for legal
proceedings ( next. Under cover of darkness
and a closed carriage ex-Secretary of the
Navy Tracey and his fellow representatives
of Ihe protectives- went to Judge Poster's
residence last night. So quickly was this
mission performed that little ol a definite
nature leaked out till Ihe day for Ihe meeting
ttawneil and the many thousands of shares
were being bundled together by the directors'
committee for the purpose of carrying out
their plans.
HEADED OKIAT THE START.
At 10 o'clock sharp the room of General
Manager Frye In the Santa Fe general office
building was packed with the representa
tives of the present management. Vice
President Itoblnson anil Director Gleed wete
seated at the table conning the Injunction
papers that had been served. In a few min
utes Mr. Hoblnson declared the meeting
ready for business. Secretary Wilder read
the 'call , and Immediately thereafter Air.
Hoblnson announced aa a committee to take
down the proxies and see who was entitled
to vote. Charles Illood Smith , James Walker ,
Jr. , and George VC. Porter. Newman Erb
strongly objected because the protective com
mittee was not represented , and moved that
Henry Woolman of Kansas City be added.
A dozen tried to get the chairman's atten
tion after the motion was seconded. Mean
while Director Gleetl moved to adjourn to 2
o'clock. The motion to ndd Woolman finally
carried , and the adjournment was taken.
The committee on proxies will report at the
afternoon hour of meeting : .
The general committee Is confident that
tlie restraining order gives the protectlves
nothing In the way ot permanent advantage.
They declare that they are sure ot winning ,
and are carrying out the plans of selecting
the present directors without the proteof0
lives having a- single representative on the
board. They declare that all the talk about
the expiration ot the Santa Fe's charter Is
simple' In the extreme ; that the company Is
operating under a charter granted in 1859 ,
unlimited as to time. They further declare
lliat the cumulative plan of voting was
brought up years ago and declared to he
inapplicable to the Santa Fe's voting system ;
that this decision was reached by unanimous
consent of the ablest counsel Irr the Santa
Te's -employ , and also that the settled policy
of the company has been llxed against the
cumulative plan.
Newman Erb , attorney for the protectlves ,
will not do much talking. II ? says thai he
will leave for New York and that the local
attorneys will look after their side of the
ease at the luarlng on Monday.
The session of the stockholders this after
noon will be formal and will merely elect a )
chairman of the meeting , who , it Is agreed I , |
will be Hon. Thomas A. Osborn , ex-governor.
After an hour's session thla afternoon
Thomas A. Osborn was elected chairman
and the meeting adjourned to 10 o'clock
Thursday , November 1.
Considerable bitterness was displayed over
the election of a chairman , the protectlves
clalmtig that the rules required that the
vice president preside. The committee
showed that Vice President Robinson was
obliged to leave Topeka and that therefore a
chairman could be elected. Newman Erb
introduced a resolution that the federal court
bo asked to appoint a committee to Invest.-
gate the company's affairs ami report to the
stockholders within about thirty days. Thla
resolution was shut out by the passing of
the pending motion to adjourn made by Di
rector Gleed.
D. P. Cheney. ] r. , of Doston , the repre-
( tentative of 19.0U shares of stock and the
largest Individual stockholder , said the i i
present board would concede mothlng to I
the. protective committee.
"Thla injunction , " lie said , "Is undoubt '
edly sprung to compel us to give representa
tion on the board tn them , but we will not
do it. Wo will not compromise or make |
concessions to them. "
| ] far the most
y Important point from a
railroad standpoint that has developed BO
far Is that the- general committee , It It wins
this fight , will make n. P. Cheney , Jr. , chair
man ot the bimrd. This IR the highest ex
ecutive position on a railroad , and Is always
held by men of high financial standing.
Cornelius Vanderbllt is chairman of the
New York Central board , an olllce higher |
than the presidency held by C. M. Depew.

The pjss agreement- which wn adopted
at the meeting of western and southwestern
railway lines at St. Loujs a fortnight ago and
which has since r jc lved the endorsement
of the executive conimttee | , ID giving no end
of trouble to rallroail nien In ( his section.
Ono road received a' ' telegram from Its gen
eral manager yesterday calling In all the
trip passes In possession of the local odlce ,
while another general agent received Information
mation from the general passenger agent
that no trip passes must be Issued to secure
' or influence business In any w y.
Ordinarily the piss agitation has not come
up until January , but the representalives of
the lines , members ot tliu association , have
taken the bull by tlio liorns and evidently
mean to give the pass question a fair and
Impartial trial. "Why the heads of the pas
senger and freight , departments should com
mence to pull In passes nt this timeIs ono
| of the questions part solution. " said a well
known passenger agent. "It will make
enemies for our road and will do little good
In the long TUB. I nni heartily In favor of
dolni ; away with the trip pass , but I be
lieve their abolishment should not bo done
hastily. What will prevent a railroad de-
Hiring to Issue u pass from fllvltig an annual
and dating It before
tlio pass agreement was
adopted ? Should any question urlse the rail
road man could easily state that It had gene
out long before the pass proposition was
over thought of. "
The oxcutlve committee of the western
nnd southwestern lines Is in session In
Chicago now , J. A.Miniroe. . freight traffic
manager , represent Ing the Union Pacific In
the meeting. The Simla Fo , It is under
stood , has abandoned the Issuing ot time
passes or mileage books , and the road In

footsteps. However , the people who have
been the recipients of passes In the past
nro denouncing the action of the roads and
a parrot of a time Is anticipated by freight
nnd passenger agents tn the very near fu
ture.

IIOSTON , Ocl. 25. Prof. Pickering of the

opinion on the report that the Harvard astron
omical station at Arequlpa , Peru , had been
sacked. He said that he could not verify any
reports. The authorities In Cambridge sel
dom have any telegraphic communication with
the station owingto the fact tint it costs
some $3 for each word.
"I Imvs hopes , however , " he said , "that the
port as published is illHtorlcd by being
mndled about from one country to another ,
think that the station that has been sacked
Is the ono on 131 Misli and not tlmt at Are-
.ulpa. This station Is extremely Important ,
or It Is the highest meteorological station In
he world and observations tiiiidu there h&ve
.Ircady been very valuable. The losk of what
nstruments there arc there will not amount
o much as far as actual mcney goes , for
he Instruments would only cost a few hun-
reds in America , but it would nevertheless
IB a great loss to have any ot theseIn -

greatest difficulty lliat anything can be car-
led there.
The atmosphere Is BD rareon the- summit

discovered a scheme whereby It Is estimated
th t GOO pauper Japanese have been admitted
this year. The only restriction to Immigra
tion la that each applicant for admission
shall possess $30. It now develops thut when
a party of pauper Japanese arrives In Vic
toria they are met there by agents from this
aide , who supply each with $30 and a ticket
into this country. Upon arriving here the
Japanese are taken to the customs house ,
examined and as each has they requisite
amount the party Is passed. Before starting to
Interior points the money la refunded to the
agent , who crosses the line again lo await
another batch ,
The discovery of the statemi-nt Is second
only to that made during the term of ex-
Collector "WasBon when a party of twenty-
seven Japanese applied for admission. They
were lined up In a hall outslne the. collector's
office and were called In and re-examined
separately. An Inspector standing near hap
pened to see one giving money to another
and , suspecting fraud , had the entlro party
taken before the collector In a bunch , result
ing In the- discovery that there was bul $30
among the wholecrowd. . As a consequence
the whole crowd except ono were bundled ( j
back to Victoria , where the agenta evidently

FORT SMITH , Atk. , Oct. 25. A report
as reached this city to lho effect that the
ttle town of Gibson station has been robbed
i pretty much the same fashion as the
Vatova holdup , the express olllce and several
tores being looted. The place is six mllou
outli of Waggoner on the Missouri , Kansas
& Texas , anil there la no telegraph office
here. Particulars of the robbery have not
n received here. It Is lilted that atx
ncn took part In the holdup. Marshal Orump
ecelved a telegram yesterday from Deputy
< amblon , who hail gone In pursuit of the
Jook gang , saying that a fight between the
dltH and ollleers was expected at any
line , The latest robbery reported hero up to
his morning was tlmt of a preacher last
light at Illinois s.tation , perpetrated by two
lu'ii. It Is not known how much was se-
iiircd. The train from Waggoner , which ar-
Ived hero at 1 o'clock this morning , -was
guarded by 11 force of twenty-five men under
ho leadership of Sheriff Ilrown. The same
posse guarded the westbound train , leaving
licro a few hours later , and u-ere rclnforceil
jy twenty-live others at Kennetla , as the
allroad people were expecting a holdup at
lllnolB slntloii. The Cook gang is supposed
o be In that vicinity , as ten men were seen
at the water tank there when thu euslbound
rain came through. Conductor Conkllng
was on the lookout for a holdup ut Ilraggs
and later at Illinois , hut ho came through
all right. Me reports the whole country
as up In arms ami on the hunt of outlaws ,
saying ' there are fully 1,00 men In the chase ,
'till Cook la to IM ? shot on sight.
All day long the marshal's olDce has been
expecting a telegram from lho deputies in re
gard to a fight with the Cook gang. About
150 deputies have been ordered to filbson by
United Stales Marshal Crump to participate
In the chase lifter the bandits , Gibson la
the place Cook-haa heretofore , made his head
quarters. There Is little doubt , however ,
that his gang hast scattered , learning of the
coming of the deputies und Indian police.
Indian Agent Wisdom liail the Indian police
join In the &earci ) along with the deputies.
Troops would bo useless In the territory , ex
