( Special. ) A remonstrance against the petition for the pardon of John \V. West , the defaulting ex- trecsurer , Is now being circulated. The re monstrance says that the pardon of West would be a travesty on Justice ; that the fact of West's plea of guilty nnd his confes sion were considered In the light sentence given him , consisting of only twenty-five months for the embezzlement of J15.009 , and that West not only Immediately upon his assumption of the duties of the offlce began to embezzle , but deliberately continued to dose so during the six years of his Incumbency.

JUDGE DUNDY REFUSES TO ADVANCE II KfTorts of Attorney * to Secure n Honrlng lUcolvr * No Sympathy from the Court , Uho SIIJ-K thn Matter 31 list TM 1(0 111 Turn. LINCOLN , April 23. ( Special. ) U Is con sidered rather Indefinite now when the Flournoy Land company's and other Injunc tion suits relating to leasehold settlers on the Wlnnebago agency will come up In the federal court , or whether they will be heard In Lincoln or In Omaha. This afternoon District Attorney Sawyer nppsared before Judges Uundy and Rlner , sitting together , and asked that they be taken up and dis posed of. He argued that the situation on the reservation was serious and that In his opinion something should be don ? at once In regard to It. Judge Dundy said that the cases were on the calendar and would not be taken up until reached In their regular order. When It was suggested that thay were now down below every other case , Judge Dundy , with some warmth , assured him that so far as ho was concerned , personally , no one who bad a case In court at this tlm ? should bo discriminated agalntt on account of the government. When the cases were reached. If any one was there to represent the two sides , they would be tried and not before. Then Attorney Ralph Dreckcnrldgo took an Inning , but his remarks wcro not In the nature of oil on troubled waters. Attorney Ureckenrldge called the attention of the court to the fact that the cases had been sent back to this court by order of Judge Sanboru nnd the tlmo for trial sot for yes terday , the 22d Instant. Hut neither side had been ready at that time In Lincoln , and they had been passed. Judge Dutidy re plied that such was Iho case , but that It was no fault of the court's. If attorneys wished to go up among the Indians instead of attending to their cases they must take chances on delay. The Judge said ho would take up the call of the calendar where Judge Rlner had left It , and so soon as the In junction cases were reached they would bo tried. The matter was left with this under standing. Messrs. Dromo and IJennett , rep resenting some 225 tenants on the land , were In court , and were anxious for a hearIng - Ing Immediately. CAPITAL NATIONAL OPINIONS. In federal court this afternoon two Im portant opinions were banded down involv ing questions submitted relating to the late Capital National bank. The opinions were read by Judge Illnor nnd concurred In by Judge Dundy. The receiver was victorious in one of them ; In the other ho lost. In the case where the receiver of the bank brought suit against the stockholders to recover $243,000 paid to them as stock holders as dividends , whereas , In fact , the bank had never earned a dividend , the court sustained the demurrer 111 ml by defendants on the ground that the statute of limitations had run against the action , the dividends having been paid over four years ago. There were other objections 111 the demurrer which were also sustained. The material point In the opinion , a voluminous one , was that re lating to the bar of the statute of limitations. The other case , Receiver Hayden against A. P. S. Stuart and Gruettor 6 Joers. was brought for the purpose of holding Stuart responsible on his Capital National bank stock to the amount of $15,000. A few weeks before the failure of the bank he had traded Oruotter & Jeers a big brick block , after which ho transferred all his other large property to Charles Holland , who Is said to have deeded It back to Stuart's wife. The court held that Stuart had transferred the property to avoid liability on the stock , and was liable to the comptroller of the cur rency for the amount of additional liability thereon as a stockholder. CAN INDIAN 1'OI.ICI : UK A KKICS1 iiV I.rgillty of Shorlrt Mull'n'a Action to Up Unmltloreil nt Wellington , WASHINGTON , April 23. ( Special Tele gram. ) A letter was today sent to the de partment of Justice from the Indian office , transmitting for consideration by the at torney general one of the questions Involved In the conflict between Sheriff Mnllin and Captain Beck at the Omaha and Wlnnebjgo reservation. The nature of the communica tion Is not divulged , but it is surmised that it is a request for an opinion as to the legality of the arrest of Sheriff Mullln , nnd also whether or not the sheriff can take Into custody the Indian police on the reservation. The letter from the Indian ofllco has been referred to Solicitor General Conrad , and the whole matter will be considered by that oin- clal. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Brown ing today said that as far as he could see there Is nothing whic-h the Indian office can do In this matter. Ho thinks that It Is en tirely a question to be settled In the local courls , and that no action Is likely to be taken by bis offlce. At a late hour this evening no request had been received for authority to employ additional police. Some ( inoil Alimln A nrr < l. GRAFTON , Neb. , April 23.

In order to faclllUitp the gathering of material on the groAirt-l a temporary track has already been laid from the east end of tlio Cast Omaha bridge along the cast bank of the river to'tlid'Tool of Twenty-fourth street In Council lllutls. Tha construction of this temporary track has created a stuall sized nutter of excite ment on th Id-fra side of the river. In quiry at the ofllces of the East Omaha Drldgo company In this city reveals the fact that Chief Engineer Harris received a telegram Saturday evening from Hie War department Instructing him to construct the temporary track with all haste. Mr. Harris con strued the telegram as being urgent nnd Sunday morning ho commenced the work ot gathering his men and getting out the ma terial , lly evening he was ready to com mence wcrk on the track itself , and it was put down that night. For months the engineering department has been deliberating over Iho problem of transporting Hip material to be used In the improvements along the river nt this point. The engineers divided upon the expediency of hauling the material In barges down the river or In hauling It overland by rail. Last Saturday afternoon the department ran out cf red tape and then decided all at once to haul die necessary material overland. The terminal company had long before offered to lay a temporary track to enable Hie ma terial fcr the worlc to bo dumped along the river bank where It was needed. Conse- tiuently Kie engineering board determined to adopt the system of rail transportation. It wanted the track laid right away , and got it In true Omaha style. The Importance of the work to be done on the river at Omaha cannot be overestimated. It must bo finished before the June rlso In the river takes place. If It Is not com pleted by that time there Is some danger , re mote , of course , , that the property of the bridge company may be endangered by a change In the river banks. The conditions for a change In thp banks opposite this city have been favorable for some time. The work to be donu this spring will forever , It Is claimed , obviate any such danger.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Session Opens with the Sintatning of the Vetoes of Throe Ordinances. SEVZRAL PAVING CONTRACTS APPROVED Clmlrnmn Wlnnpcnr'ii Slap ut Hugh ainrphy Cutiiira Tilt Among Mnulicrs Waiting on Union I'nclllc Itrrclvern Tirol of Itrimlrlng Drinking Fountains. The mayor succeeded In having three ve toes sustained at the regular council meeting last night , although one of them , which af fected the Interests of the water works com pany , only lacked one vote of being passed over the veto. This was the ordinance lo cating six flro hydrants on Maple and Blnney streets , between Thirty-first and Thirty- fourth. The reasons given by the mayor were that the size of the connected mains had not been specified. Prlnco and Jocobsen declared that the mayor had promised to approve the ordinance , but they could only muster eleven votes , and the veto was sustained. The following veto was sustained by a unanimous vote : I herewith return without my approval n concurrent resolution , of ilnte April 9 , 1S35 , authorizing the Hoard of Public Works to hire help to have the rock tinder the Sixteenth street viaduct broken up nnd iiHod for the repair of str ; ts > , for the reason thut 1 believe what I.H proposed would be nn unnecessary nnd useless expenditure of the public money. To the full limit of fund.s available unemployed men can be fur nished employment In doing woik of n dlffeu-nt chnrnpter from breaking stone nt n rock pile , nnd In consideration of which the city will get some substantial return. IT any considerable quantity of stem wns to be bioken or crushed to be used In the ropnlr of streets , the snmo could be broken or crushed , as Is usual , by machinery , nt nn InslBiilllcaiit cost as compared with the cost of doing It by bund with hummers. So far n.s the stone or rock under the Sixteenth street viaduct Is concerned , Ihls might be broken by the city prisoners , which not only would result In bnvlnj the rnme broken without cost to the city , but would "urnlsli suitable employment to the city rlsoners. I urn not in favor of convict or rlson labor romlng Into conflict with hon- st labor , neither nm I In fnvor of putting lonest laborers nt work Rt u rock pile , vhleh Is commonly regarded ns the work if prisoners , especially when other suitable vurk can be furnished to the limit of nil h funds which the city will have to ox- end. WILL NOT REPAIR FOUNTAINS. Similar action was taken on the veto of he resolution by which the watering troughs rid drinking fountains were ordered re > njred at an expense not exceeding $171.50. Mi" veto was on the ground that three- ourlhs of the amount was to be expended n the fountains nt Twenty-second and Cum- iiK , Nineteenth street and St. Mary's ave- ue nnd Jefferson square. These had ben : onated to the city by the water works 'onipany ' and had proved expensive luxuries. One-third of the total amount that had been xp'nded for repairs during the past three ears had ben expended at these points and Ii3 mayor thought that further repairing vould be sending good money after bad. A resolution was adopted by which the Board of Health was directed to detail an nspector to prevent dumping of garbage In he northern part of the city. Walter M. Carter was appointed assistant o the clerk of the police court at $00 pr iionth. He will hold office during the re- nalnder of Clerk Michael's term. The resignation of Elizabeth E. Poppleton , s a member of the public library board was cndered and accepted. The mayor rccom- ncnded Mrs. Mary Luddlngton Hull to fill IIP unexplred term and the appointment was efericd to the Judiciary committee. The report of Chairman Wlnspear of tht Joard of Public Works on his trip to the wvlng exhibit at Minneapolis was read and [ ibccd on file. 'The repair bill of the Barber Asphalt com pany for the last six months of 1S94 was submitted with the approval of the Board if Public Works and referred to a specla" committee for Investigation. Contracts were approved with the Barber company for paving Twenty-sixth street from \Voolworth avenue to Hickory street , Jack son street from Thirty-sixth to Thlrty- Ishth and the Intersection of Eighteenth street and Capitol avenue. SLAP AT MURPHY. In this connection the Board of Public Works submitted a protest against the bids ot Hugh Murphy which specified seven kinds of asphalt from which the contractor re tervcd the right to choose. Howell said that it was by reason of Mr , Murphy's competition that the Barber com pany had put In a bid of $2.19. He did not propose that the board should dictate to him what sort of bids should be received by the council and If the Barber company could lay pavement for ? 2.19 why had It been robbing the city for years past by charging nearly- double that amouut. He moved that this paragraph be stricken from the report. Snnnders contended that the board was a chartered organization the same ns the city council and the latter body had no right to strike out any part of a. communication submitted by the board. The matter was tojfcd back and forth on successive orator ical upheavals until Howell's motion -pre vailed. The most spirited debate of the session occurred on Kmont's resolution calling for a report from the committee on viaducts and railways on the union depot ordinance which was referred to It two months age. Mr. ncchfl , as chairman of the committee , ex plained' that Mr. Clark had assured him that he would notify the committee as soon as the receivers had madeup their minds what course thy were willing to pursue. Kment sucgested that If the city waited for tiie receivers they would be waiting for the next hundred yeais. Bark nnd Howell also supported the resolution , but it was practically killed by n rc' ? gnee tn the same committee In whose hands the ordinance reposed. On the recommendation of the judiciary committee , the ordinance providing for the IBMIC of bonds In various street Improvement districts , was placed on flic and a substitute placed on the fib for passage. The substi tute ordinance omlta one or two districts in which there was some question as to the pay ment of the ta > cs. THANKED CHURCHILL FIRST. A rather humorous Incident attached to the committee report on Churchill Parker's bill for $13.30 for expenses Incurred In working for the Omaha charter amendments at Lin coln. The committee recommended that the bill be allowed , nnd presented a resolution of thanks for Mr. Parker's services tn that con nection. Through some oversight , the last name was omitted , and the resolution as read , tendered th3 thanks to Mr. Churchill. A dozen member's were on their feet In an in stant to protest , but the omission- was ex plained nnd the resolution waa adopted. The report of fho finance committee re jected the old bills of the water works com pany , amounting to $12,000 , which had been ordered placed In the appropriation ordinance. This Is the same bill that has been a prolific Bourcc of trouble In the council and more re cently In the courts , and the controversy was renewed on the committee report. A motion to reject the committee'report was finally carried by a vote of 8 to 7. and the bill was left In the appropriation ordinance. Additional files will be purchased for the vault In the office of the city clerk. These are necessary for the reception of documents that are now stored In chests , where they are practically Inaccessible. The city engineer was Instructed to fur nish the chief of the fire department with a map cf all water mains and fire hydrants In the city. A watering trough will ornament the cor ner of Thirty-fifth and Leavcnworth streets. The bill of the Klopp & Bartlett company lor printing the annual reports , was ap proved and ordered placed In the next ap propriation ordinance. The appropriation ordinance containing the water company bill was passed , Burkley , Calm , Kennard , Kment , Lemly and Saunders voting In the negative. Krrrlvpr fur Nloux 1'iilU Illortrlc I'liint.

At the List meeting of the council $500 was appropriated to purchase seed for the poor who have signified their Intention to work the garden tracts. A protest against the granting of a liquor license to R. Berlin. 2101 N street , was filed by Mrtf. O. "V. Rath , by her attorney. T. W. Elliott. Three reasons were given , that Berlin was not a person of gnod moral character. that he runs a gambling house and s.'lls liiiuo- on Sunday. Attorney Elliott filed a protest against Charles Durr , Albright , alleging that Durr sold liquor to minors and kept his saloon open on Sunday. Both protests were referred to tin- license committee. Mrs. Bertha Emm put In a claim for $10- 000 against the city for Injuries sustained while walking along the sidewalk at Thirti eth and R streets. The ground beneath gave way and Mrs. Emm wns thrown Into a sewer and was badly Injured Internally. Re ferred to Judiciary committee.

RAILROAD MEN INTERESTED. lYatcliIng the Onlroinn of the I'lglit lie- t wr < Mi Union I'urllUi mill r.ulf Ilo.uK The outcome of the conference between th > ralllc officials of the Union Pacific and thr Gulf companies Is exciting considerable In- crest In railroad circles Just now. 3oneral Solicitor Thurston of the Union 'acific Monday said that there was no rafilc agreement between the two companies except a thorough understanding aa to the landllng of business between Denver anil Julesburg , the operation of trains , etc. Thr receivers of the Union Pacific have not en- ered into any written agreement with Re ceiver Trumbull of the Gulf , but maltere have been allowed to drift along under old conditions. Giving to the Gulf company 'ho right to operate trains over the Union 'uclfio tracks , tiie olficials naturally think hat freight should come east via the Union 'aclfic. But there Is indisputable proot that .ho Burlington has been getting a large sharr of the freight hauled by the Gulf to Sterling , " 'olo. , where it Is delivered to the Burllng- on. This Is regarded as a slap In the face ! > y Union Pacific people , and they have quietly intimated to Mr. Trumbull that he will have "to fish or cut halt , " which means hat the Union Pacific will run all its trains via Cheyenne , instead of over the Julcsburg branch.

Some of the Texas roads which are not members of the Western Lines Passenger association have taken ac tion which will tend to demoralize the home- seekers' excursion rates put on by the west ern lines. They have knocked off the $2 which all other lines have added to the ex cursion rates , and made it one faro for tbf round trip. The Atchlson has declared tha to meet this competition It will bo necessarj for it to make a one-fare rate from all points on Its lines in Illinois , Missouri and easterr Kansas to all points in Texas and Arkan EUS. The other HUPS declare that Arkansas and Texas are no more entitled to a one-far rate than Kansas , Nebraska , Colorado am the LKikotas. There Is now every probability that the general rate for the excursion to In run April 30 , May 21 and June II will be one fare for the round trip. ToliMti ) Ann Arlior'H Nrw PrmlilBiit.
