THE OltrAHA DAILY BEE : NOVEMBER 25 , 1894. tf 1JANY BIDDERS FOR BONDS o Now York Syndicate Makes a Bid for the Entire Is .uo. CARLISLE V/ILl / M\KE THI AWARD MONDAY r/cmlum ORers AInko the Intereit flnte on the New Issao n Little llolotr 3 1'or Cent Total Illd Amount to 8154,370,000 , WASHINGTON , Nov. 21. The bids for the $50,000,000 bond Ittuo recently offered by Eecrctary Carlisle were opened at the Treaa- ury department today shortly before 1 o'clock , At 4 o'clock It was stated at the department ' that a hurried calculation showed that the ' total number of separate bids was 297 , ag- gregatlng $151,370,900. The largest bid was the syndicate bid of the United States Trust company , Drexcl , Morgan & Co. and others , at 117.077 for the whole amount or none , This was the best bid offered , as the aggregate - gate of bids ubovo this figure were about $10,324,150 , leaving about $39,675,850 $ at a " * less figure. It therefore seems quite proba- bio that the syndicate bid will be accepted , nlthough Secretary Carlisle stated that he could not express an opinion as to the result until next Monday , when the awards will be made. According to the terms of this bid the Eovernment will pay 2.878 per cent In Interest on the $00,000,000 , as against 3 per cent carried by the first Issue. There Is a possibility , however , that a close calculation will disclose the fact that there Is a sum- clcnt number of bids at a better rate than this , which , with the second syndicate bid Bt 11C.8898 , or 2.899 per cent , make a combl- nation slightly more advantageous to the Government than the other , although this Is very Improbable. Altogether the result of the bids Is eminently satisfactory to the treasury officials , as It shows that not only : > . . VM there n brisk rivalry for the bonds , but the rate of Interest demanded was even lower than was generally expected. OFFERED TO TAKE THEM ALL. Secretary Carlisle shortly after noon held a conference with treasury officials for the purpose of deciding whether the bond pro posals should bo opened In public or private , At 12:45 : o'clock a large delegation of bank trs present and representatives of the pros ; assembled in Assistant Secretary Curtis' ' office to hear the bids announced. In the corridor outsldo was a largo gathering of correspondents , who could not , owing to the limited capacity of the room , be admitted. Among the bidders present were Mr. J. Pler- pont Morgan of Drexcl , Morgan & Co. , bank- crs of New York ; Robert Bacon of B. Rollins , Morse & Co. , bankers of Boston ; Albert Btethclmer , broker , New York ; F. W. Relm- Ick , with Kldder , Peabody & Co. , bankers , Boston ; 1'llny Flsk , of Harvey Flsko & Co. , bankers , New York. The reading of the bids closed at 1:50 p. m. The aggregate. Including both bids of Drexcl , Morgan & Co , , amounted to about $ 155,000,000 , counting only those above five million. The { 50,000,000 bid provides that $40,000,000 of bonds are to bu delivered In New York , 13,000,000 at Boston , $3,000,000 at Philadelphia , $2,000,000 at Chicago and $2,000,000 at San Francisco , The bid Is made by tha United States Trust company of New York , Drexel , Morgan & Co. of New York , First National bank of New York and Harvey Flsko & Sons.

WIUGUT STANDS 1'AT. Every Allocution In the Strlko CommHiton Itoport Huntntiioil by the Kvlilcncc. WASHINGTON , Nov. 21. Hon. Carroll D. Wright , chairman of the strike commission , has addressed on answer to the open letter to the commission recently published In the Railway Age. The commissioner's letter Is as follows : Hnrry P. Robinson , KSII. , President of the Hallway Age , Chicago , 111 , : Dear Sir Yours of the 19th , enclosing- copy of your open letter to the strike commission , was duly received. 1 have examined the points you attempt to make nRaln. t the commission nml find every material position taken by you Is false , while our own positions uro In the main clearly substantiated by tne evidence taken by the commission , and chlclly by the sworn testimony of the rail way nml Pullman ofllclals. This evidence can be freely examined by nny one you see fit to send to this olllce , as I have an extra copy of it , or you can llnd copy of it In the hands of Judge Worthlngton at 1'eorla , The testimony will be printed by order of consress , and then every one can satisfy himself us to the truth of the position taken by the commission. 1 believe the re port of the commission to be thoroughly Impregnable as to every material state ment of facts. Whatever specific answer the commission may make to the charges of the Hallway Age , and of the other papers , I presume the commission will prefer to make ofllclallv , and not to any Individual publication. Such an answer I have no right now to make , because I have not consulted the members of the com mission. I write this letter on my own responsibility. Whoever calls on me for the purpose of examining the testimony will be accorded every privilege. I am , respectfully yours , CAR110T D. WRIGHT , Chairman. FOK SUHVKY1NU VUULIO DOMAIN.

Mr. and Mrs. Judge W. S. Strawn returned last Thursday from a six months' sojourn In Europe , having spent the time In Great Britain and In the principal countries and cities of the continent. They returned on the steamer City of New York , landing In New York last Friday , after a most disagreeable voyage , which lasted more than two days longer than the scheduled time. For five days on the return voyage their steamer passed through terrific gales and storms , but the passage was accomplished without danger and without any accident of note. Judge Strawn was found at his office In the First National bank building Saturday after noon , busily sorting and reading several hun dred letters and documents which had accum ulated during his absence. He desisted long enough , however , to chat entertainingly with The Bee reporter for half an hour. He re latcJ many Incidents of the trip and gave the result of his observation In the different cities which ho visited. "I am very glad to talk for The Bee , " said Judge Strawn , "for It Is to Tlio Bee that both Mrs. Strawn and myself are Indebted for many little courtesies extended to us by the ofll- clals of the American steamship line. You will remember that during our stay abroad Mrs. Strawn contributed a number of articles to The Bee. After we had secured our passage for the homeward voyage the general agent of the American line at London learned that Mrs , Strawn had been a regular contribu tor to The Bee and looking us up Informed us that he would bo glad to extend us any courtesy he could. Consequently we found ourselves transferred to one of the finest and most luxurious suites In the steamship , and It was our pleasant surroundings that did so much to relieve the monotony of the stormy voyage home. VIRTUE OF THE COMMONS. "Many points of our tour have already been 'fully ' covered In Mrs. Strawn's letters to The Bee. Our visits to the House of Commons and to the French Chamber of Deputies have been related , and I do not know that I could add much to what has already been written that would be of espe cial Interest to The Bee's readers. From a political standpoint , I may say that I was much impressed with many points of su periority possessed by the English form of parliamentary government over the more cumbersome procedure in our own congress. , Mind you , I am not critically comparing the two forms of government with any Idea of drawing conclusions unfavorable to our own congress , but the English Parliament , or rather the lower branch of the English Parliament , possesses features \\hlch might bo reproduced In the United States with good effect. In England the government Is essentially ministerial , but the ministry Is so closely identified with the House of Com mons that It is the Commons fliat governs and not the ministry. This fact IB , of course , so well known that It Is idle to men tion It here , but it is a fact which proves that the people are In closer touch with their government than they are In the United States. "Wo visited the French Chamber of Depu - ties and the French Senate- and found much to observe in both that was of Interest and value to us. Our visit to Switzerland was also an enjoyable one. Of course , our trip included nil the principal cities of Italy and wo spent days and weeks among the treas uries of art accumulated through the cen turies. FASCINATING RUINS. "I can say. however , that the time we spent among the ruins of the formerly burled city of Pompeii was the most Interesting and ; the most enjoyable of our trip abroad. Tliere Is something about Pompeii that carries the visitor back through the centuries to the tlmo when the city was * the most famous of the pleasure resorts of the great Roman empire. There Is nothing In the ruins ol the city destroyed by Vesuvius that suggests the museum. There Is no assembling ol relics , no reconstructed buildings or walls no retouohed decoration or plaster casts. Ar tificiality Is go-no and you stand there In the city Itself , with Its streets paved as they were pavoJi eighteen Centuries and more ago and Where the original conception of the e , artist remains In Its proper place untouched by the hand of time. We walked where Rome walked dim centuries ago , and w. < Etood where Rome stood , and wo did not fee st that we were surrounded with ths guide books and catalogues of the modern museum "In 1740 , to drop Into the language of th historian , it was discovered that underneatl the orchards and vineyards that had beer planted for centuries , was still to bo founc the city of Pompeii. The Italian government ! with a forethought for which the world mus give It credit , at once asusmed entire contro of the ruined city. The work of cxcavatlnf the ruins was conducted entirely under tin auspices of the government. As a result tin e ; old city , once the glory of the Roman cm to i3 tea plre , Is still preserved against the Sawl o a- the vandal and the relic hunter. Barbarlsn it- itty tore down the marble walls of the Collseun ty tyr : and with It constructed huts for the savag ; id peasantry. The same barbarism tore up mo sale pavements.and with the fragments bull the enclosures for Its cow pens. But Pom pell has been saved all this. Today over wall , every statue , remains In Its prope cd place , every decoration has been preserveO You walk the streets of the city just as yo ry wouU have walked them nearly 2,000 year ago , as The streets are all paved , many of ther a. , with the finest marble. The palaces con structed of marble still stand , the uppe stories , which were constructed of wood id alone being destroyed. Crossing the thresli ; old the visitor Is greeted with the wor IV. IV.M. . "Salve , " wrought In mosaic In the pavemeni , , . Then ho passes Into the atrium , or larg in : , ' outer hall. In this hall will frequently b found a marble bust of the owncrwlth hi name engraved on the pedestal. Passln through the atrium the visitor finds hlmse next In the Impluvlum , generally a clrcula art room open to the sky. and with a marb my basin In the floor. In Pompellan duelling tlo the roofs sloped Inward , BO that all th inc water that fell during the rainy season wi collected Into the marble basin In the cei bor ter of the Impluvlum. This room Is almo : 3th Invariably surrounded with beautifully flute 'let columns , sometimes of marble and again < stucco closely res-ambling marble. Beyon 'as the Impluvlum U the triclinium , or dlnlr vas room. Opening out of this room ara tl lay sleeping apartments. The walls of the ! rooms are frescoed In beautiful tints , tl jys floors ara of marble with Intricate borders I aa mosaic. md : SEEN EXACTLY AS LEFT. In "Tho wine shops , the bakeries with the o\one , tl'o s gns over the sbop doors , all sen um to vividly Impress upon the mind ot tl visitor that he Is In a city that from all ai pearances may have been deserted yestcrda In the wine shops the huge jars which fu nlshed the receptacles for the wlr led still stand In their proper places. 1 the bakeries are still to be four for the shelving of marble and often I the ovens are found the charred loaves bread left by the baker as he rushed fro irl- his shop In a vain endeavor to escape fro the rain of fire , ashes and lava that in tlir days burled the city and Its Inhabitants , ex- know of nn spot In Europe that offers ; much that Is attractive to the tourist i Pompeii. Whole \olumes might be flil.d w the descriptions ot Its ruins and still the su Joct could not be exhausted. "From Italy we visited Austria , German -U. the Rhine and many points of Interest , n icr- forgetting the battlefield ot Waterloo. V or- followed Victor Hugo very closely and o > conception of that greatest of all Europe : ; E91. battlefields greatest In Its significance w . 31 greatly heightened by examining the fle 17 with the greatest of French authors as 25 guide. 1 would like to describe the mai .00 , things which attracted our especial nolle tlon but one hardly knows where to commen " or where to leave off. I can assure the re a 1 ers of The Bee that our trip was dellghtl 85 and profitable beyond all expectation , a : 3 our happiest wish to alj U that they m C83 be able to go over the same ground.

"Many bodies were upheaved In the cemetery of San Procopla at the time It was disturbed by the earthquakes , and a number ot bodies remain In sight and will have to be Interred. Horrible scenes have been witnessed 'In the stricken dis tricts , where numbers of people have been wounded , and In several cases horribly maimed. Some of the sufferers had limbs torn off , which caused their death before they could be removed from the street. The military and volunteers of all classes of the Inhabitants arc working with energy building huts and providing food for those who are most In want.

A band of foreign brigands attacked a tobacco store at Garlban- nella , near Fcrrara , while several other out laws guarded the streets In the vicinity , threatening anybody approaching. The brigands tried to force an entrance Into the store , but Us owner and his servants fired guns at them. The fire was returned by the brigands and the town was Boon In a state of great excitement. The tocsin was rung from the church steeple and assistance In the bl.ape of a number of gendarmes soon ar rived nnd drove the brigands out of town. Two of the Inhabitants and one brigand were killed during the affray , nnd an officer of the gendarmes was wounded. Heavy Appropriations for Agriculture. LONDON , Nov. 24. A Berlin dispatch to the Times says the semi-official North German Gazette states that the anti-revolu tionary bills which were referred by the Bundcsrath to a committee will probably take precedence over all other bills In the Reich stag. Despite the unfavorable financial situ ation , the Prussian budget will contain large demands for agricultural Improvements , af fecting specially the eastern provinces.

The Commercial club Is In receipt of mofe propositions for the location ot factories and other largo establishments than ever before T In the history of that organization. Capltal- ' * Ists are beginning to look about them for the purpose of Investing some of their surplus , while everything Is at bedrock , so that It U reasonable to assume that the season ot 1895 will bo one of great Improvement so far as this city Is concerned. The destruction of the Morse-Coo shoe fac tory and the Hammond best racking establish ment by fire Is a cloud with some silver In Its lining from the fact that these firms are going to rebuild at the earliest opportunity and Hammond & Co. already have a large force of men at work , thus giving employment it to many men who would have otherwise been 10 out of employment. This packing company will erect a new beef killing establishment IB as fast as men and money can put It up. len n- The new building will cost between $135OOC nt - and $150,000. The shoe factory has received tle about $79,800 Insurance money and this sum les. will likely be expended In repairing the dam- s.of ago done by flames some time ago. 10.n ' This year up to the 14th of November 720 nof building permits had been Issued by the bullet of i Ing Inspec or. The amount covered by th so per neh mits aggregates $690,467 , and while this Is a hy. - small falling off from those Issued last year , It y.th ; must be remembered that a good many large th thn structures commenced last year were not n , this and thess amounts in I completed until season , as are credited to 1893. For the first eleven ys months of 1894 the building permits will nt average about $69,000 per month. The largest number of permits was Issued In March , when the total aggregated $160,000. The total amount of permits Issued last year was $975- 450. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. Among the more expensive structures com pleted this year ara the Omaha club house , at the corner of Twentieth and Douglas o. , street ) ) , which cost In the neighborhood of $70,000 , and which Is now nearly ready for Us occupancy. The permit for this building Is fie credited to 1893. The Boston store at Six teenth and Douglas streets was erected this he year at a cost of over $100,000 , and Paxton & iyu Vlerllng built a new foundry at the Seven In teenth street crossing of thn Union Pacific le.ng tracks which cost them about $25,000. Mul- ng : ler's candy factory at Twenty-eighth and at Leavenworth streets cost $12,000 , and the lat Schlltz roof garden at Sixteenth and Harney lot streets cost $18,000 , while the Omaha Brewing company's ctablei on the corner of Fifteenth and draco streets cost $12,000. The new 3th warehouse built by John Harbach at Twelfth cal and Harney streets required an expenditure of $15,000. Among the more expensive resi vs : dences erected this year are : Herman Cohn. Us ; 214 South Thirty-second street , $15,000 ; lot Charles Offut , Thirty-ninth and Davenport nd , streets , $15,000 ; Dr. John Shelby , 1707 Cali .illM - fornia street. $10,000. and some others coating M- from $5,000 to $8.003. Forty-four residences ay. costing between $2,300 and $5,000 have been Us. erected In various portions ot the city , and ted thirty-four mere ranging In price from $1,500 ge- to $2,000 have been built. Sixty-two dwell ings and cottages have been completed at an expenie not less than $1,000 nor greater than $1,500 , making a total of 140 well constructed and subitantlal homes for residents of this In city. Among the good things promised by the tan Commercial club for the coming year are ; oed A barbed wire factory , a butter tub and egg an. oisb factory , an Implement factory for. making hay rakes and cultivator ! , a linseed oil worki , a large barrel factory to supply the packing houses , brewrles and distilleries , with tierces and receptacles for their products , and last , but not least , a mammoth beet sugar factory With a dally capacity of 200 tons of this sweet Edmmodlty. WANT TO COME HERE , in speaking of these new enterprises Com missioner John Utt of the Commercial club said : "We are receiving propositions nearly every day from outsiders who desire to locate in Omaha. The only trouble In eecurlng these institutions seems to be that they ask too much assistance from Tiomo capitalists , but As there Is plenty of money In the banks It seems as If the stringency was bound to ease up by the first of the year. I think there Is 6very probability of Omaha having the largest boot sugar factory In the world next year , the plans are being considered In all serious ness and from now on wo propose to thor oughly agitate the matter until the people be come well posted ! on the subject. The pro posed plant will cost not less than $175,000 , and when completed will have a capacity of 200 tons of sugar per day. This estimate Is based on securing ten pounds of sugar from 100 pounds of beets containing 13 per cent of sugar , which Is the average percentage. The plan Is to erect the plant and take $75,000 vorth of stock and have the citizens of Omaha ubscrlbe the remainder. In case we cannot 'also ' all the money wo have reliable assur- hces that wo can borrow $50,000 to assist us fter the plant Is built. "Tho Oxnards claim that they cannot pay more than $4 per ton for beets since the 'iQiinty has been taken oft , but wo will guar ntee to pay $5 per ton for all that can be alsed In this vicinity. The plan ot this en- .erprlse will bo presented to every farmer llv- nK near Omaha and all \vlll bo asked to ake stock in , the concern , paying for the ame when they market their beets. We will give them two-thirds cash and credit them with the remaining third on their stock. This is the plan pursued In Germany , and under his system farms have Increased In value and stocks have paid dividends , so that they have received a great deal of benefit. Ex periments In Douglas county and In Pottawat- amle county , Iowa , show that from fifteen to eighteen tons of beets can bo raised on an acre. At $5 per ton this would make a valu able crop on any piece of land. The building of such a plant will be opportune and of bene fit. A great many ot the Omaha business men liave expressed their willingness to subscrlbf liberally and I think that there Is every possl blllty of the plant being begun before the 1st of June , 1895. It could be completed then In time to utilize the beet crop of 1895. " Hank Holders .Scared Away. TOPEKA , Nov. 24.
