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 ;

office to hear the bids announced. In the

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 ,

counting only those above five million.

of bonds are to bu delivered In New York ,

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 ,

VISITED HISTORIC SPOTS
Judge Strawn Talks About His Six Months'
Tour of Europe ,
FOUND POMP II MOST FASCINATING
Something About tlio famous Hulns Wnllt
Over the ricltl tit Waterloo with Victor
Hugo for n ( luldc JCngllsli and
Trench LogltlatUu Chamber * .
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

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

inc water that fell during the rainy season wi

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

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

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

Prussian ministers of agriculture and finance
arc still negotiating as to the amount ot the
credits to be asked for. The agrarians will

SAN DIEGO , Nov. 24. A proposition Is
now well under way to erect on Mount San
Miguel , about eighteen miles from this city
an observatory 1th the largest telescops
In the world ; an observatory In which al
civilized nations shall have not only a scl
entlfic but a financial Interest. The schemi
at first reading Is so stupendous that It ap
, pears visionary. Negotiations have beer
going on for several years and have reaches
a stage where It was Impossible to longei
, keep the matter a secret.
It has been known for years that the wlfi
of Sir Richard A. Proctor has been deslrou
of founding a memorial In honor of her de
ceased husband , who , when living , was
! brilliant luminary In the astronomical world
Mrs. Proctor finally selected , from persona
observation nnd experiment , the summit o
Mount San Miguel. Contributions for con
< structlon are asked from all civilized nations
as well as governments and Individuals , am
for Its subsequent maintenance , by an Issu
of certificates for orchard and fruit bearlni
t. bends. The practical reasons for the selec
, tlon of Mount San Miguel by Mrs. Procto
are the remarkable clearness of the atmos
phere , the freedom of that locality from fog
and the uncqualed number of cloudles
ie nights and days. U Is positively ascertained
i- that nowhcro on the globe do the same con
dltlons obtain.

'
; cently lleen Done 111 the
f llulldlng Lino.
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. An attempt was made
to rob the State Bank of Nortonvlllo at
Nortonvllle early this morning , The door

they did not complete the Job und secured
nothing. Nothing was known ot It until
this morning , and there Is no clew to the
robbers. A horse and buggy that was taken
during the night was found near Atchlson
this morning , and It Is supposed the rob
