WASHINGTON , March 4.-Spceal ( ! Tele
gram. ) Interest In tlio coming Trnnsmlssls-
dippl exposition In Omaha \t \ greatly on tlio
increase , the exhaustive report of Senator
Thurston made today In reporting the bill
favorably having brought forcibly to the at
tention of the legislators the fnct that
Omaha Is very much In It just at this mo
ment. This , coupled with the fact that Sen
ator Gear of Ion a has sent a personal let
ter to every member of the Iowa legislature
urging a liberal appropriation on the part
" o ( Iho state nt this session for the Iowa
building , begins to look * like business.
The report made by Mr. Thurston Is ex
haustive. Alter amending Senator Allen's
bill by making the exposition International
in character and fixing the maximum cost
to the government at $260,000 , J50.000 to be
upent on the building , the icport goes Into
thn history ct what led to UIP desire tor
this exposition at Omalia , giving considerable
ftpaco to the Transmlsslsslppl congress and
the work It has done In the past ten years.
lAttcnllon la also called In the report to the
fact that the territory from which tills
exposition would draw exhibits Is the richest
In mineral wealth and the largest ot pro
ducing and grazing areas In the United
States. The feasibility of the settlement of
this vast territory and for the Investment of
both homo and foreign capital was strongly
_ rced as ono ot the chief benefits to bo de
rived from the holdlnc of the exposition.
The committee further reported that It had
limited the participation of the United States
In this project to the same amount And con
ditions as given to tho. Atlanta oxposUI'm ,
although the territory Included and the
states and territories Intending to participate
ot this exposition 'ar exceeded tlioso at At
lanta. Finally , congressional aid was all
that was needed to give the project inter
national standing , and would be Immediately
followed by state aid. especially from those
states and territories west of the Mississippi
river. Articles of Incorporation of the Tranu-
inlsslsslppl and International exposition were
appended and the business ability and flncn-
oal ! standing of the promoters highly en
dorsed.
TIUKD TO SAVE SAWYER'S SALARY.
Judge Strode occupied the attention of the
house- today by proposing an amendment to
the bill fixing salaries for the district at
torneys by Increasing the amount allowed
the district of Nebraska from $3,500 to $4,000.
Ho showed the Inequality between the two
districts ot Iowa and districts of Colorado
Kansas and Missouri , which were allowed
94,000 each , but the house refused to grant
his request. Ho expects to propose the same
amendment to the bill fixing salaries ot
marshals , whlcli will coma up tomorrow.
The Pine Rldgo Indian delegation , now In
the city , had1 a conference with the commls-
Bloner of Indian affairs today with refercncp
to the allotment of the lands In their reser
vation. They said to the commissioner that
their lands were only fit for grazing purposes
and that their chief mode of livelihood was
the raising of cattle , whlcli would bo en
tirely broken up If land were parceled out
among the members of tbo tribe. Com
missioner Browning explained to them how
this action would bo- Impossible without
tliolr consent , for the treaty provides that
no subdivision of reservation lands shall bo
made unless two-thirds of the Indians agrco
to such division. The delegation will prob-
obly go before the Indian committee of the
house later In the week to explain their
needs and the claims which they think
they have on tlio government for gold and
frame In the Black Hills , and a portion of
the land 'In the state of Nebraska which
should bo theirs or for which they should bo
paid.
Senator Allen succeeded In passing his bill
appropriating $10,000 for postofllce sites at
Hastings and Norfolk.

termaster at Omaha. Ho is hero on special

ELMWOOD ELEVATOR CASE.
Before thn maximum rate case came on
for argument In the supreme court today , ' tha
care of the Mlaaourl Pacific agalrmt the Ne
braska State Doard of Transportation was
argued by Judge J. V. Dillon and the at
torney general. Judge Dillon , notwithstand
ing his reflections on the Farmers' alliance ,
which Bought to have an elevator erected at
Elmwood , Neb. , on the Missouri Pacific right
'of way , did not make any great hit with the
court , so far as could bo noticed , and sonio
of the questions directed to the representa
tives of ( ho Missouri Pacific were decidedly
embarrassing to thta great legal light. Mr.
Churchill made a matter-of-fact speech .of
halt an hour , when the court took the
case under advisement. :

the Hoimc Committee.
'WASHINGTON , March 4. A delegation
representing the Interests of authors , photog
raphers and publishers appeared before the
liouso committee on patents today In opposi
tion to the Troloar copyright bill. In tho.
party were Robert Underwood Johnson , BCC-
rotary ot the Authors' and Publishers' league ;
1 Charles A. Hello , secretary , and D. L. Owen-
son , attorney ot the Photographers' league ;
. Charles I ) . Bailey of Washington and Li
brarian Spofford of the Congressional library.
Mr. Johnson presented resolution ! adopted
by the Authors' league , and spoke In elab
oration of them. The authors contended that )
the bill renders It uncertain whether the
work of a foreigner can bo copyrighted other-
wlso than through the assignment of his In
terest to a citizen of the United States , and
that Ita effect would bo to bring1 about a re
vocation ot the copyright relations entered
Into under the act of 1891 with foreign gov
ernments. A protest was presented from the
American Publishers' Copyright league , prin
cipally against that feature of the bill stip
ulating that musical compositions and repro
ductions of works of art In the form ot en
gravings , etc. , must bo manufactured wholly
in the United States to bo copyrighted.
OPPOSE TUB ANTI-OPTION HILL.

WASHINGTON , March 4. The hearings In
r ' opposition to the anti-option bill were begun
by the house agricultural committee today.
Those who appeared included Mr , Labous&o
ot the Now Orleans Cotton exchange and
Mr. Henry Pcnzo and others ot the Now
York Cotton exchange. Their argument waste
to the effect that the dealing In options
and futures was not harmful to the cotton
producers ; that on tha contrary It tended
to advance prices and keep the market
steady. If the bill were enacted Into law ,
It would , the gentlemen auertod , practically
kill their builncss and result In consequent
harm to the producers.

lltXTI.NCITON'S PLAV IX I-'AVOIl.
Ontrnl 1'nrHlr'n Proposition for
Vinnllncr Hip lrl , Mny < Accepted.
WASHINGTON , March . ( Special Teln-
gram. ) The Pnclflo railroad situation has
cons.1 ! rably cleared , Central Pacific Inter
ests , represented by ncnor.il It. It. Hubbard
ot Now York , made to the houro committee
some days since a proposition tor the adjust
ment of the government debt , The measure
proposed provldta for the payment by the
Pacific railroads of the principal ot their
respective debts to the government In cash ,
after the application of the sinking funds
pertaining to thcso companies , and the fund-
Ins of the accrued Interest upon the Indebt
edness ot the roads to the government Into a
second mortgage , bearing 2 per cent Interest ,
pnyablo out ot the Income , and to run for a
period of fifty years. This proposition was
received quite favorably by the house com
mittee , and la far In 0X6688 ot anything pro
posed at this session. Much doubt haa ex
isted until today as to whether Union Pa
cific Interests could afford to accept this
solution of the matter. After today's hearIng - .
Ing It may be assumed that Union Paclflo
Interests will fall Into the proposition ot
settlement. This conclusion comes from the
supplemental statement made by Mr. Pierce ,
representing the Union Pacific reorganization
commlttco , at today's t-osslon of the house
committee. Mr. Pierce was prcco.led by Traf
fic Manager Munroo of the Union Pacific sys
tem. Mr. Munroo reviewed the tralllc and
ralo conditions prevailing on the Union Pa
clflo system slnco the consolidation of 1880.
Ho described the Union Pacific system as It
was conditioned when It passed Into the
hands of the receivers , on October 13 , 1S93 ,
and detailed the process of disintegration ,
beginning with the loss ot the Gulf system ,
followed by the loss of the Oregon Railway
nnd Navigation company , and the separata
foreclosures more recently Inaugurated. The
decllno In rates and the annual reduction of
the revenues of the properly , both net and
grotil , the decllno of the rate per ton per
mile , and the relative tonnage of successive
years were presented by Mr. Munroo as con
siderations bearing upon the limited fixed
charges , which might bo safely assumed by
a reorganized corporation. The conditions of
competition and the growth nnd extension of
competitive lines -railway slnco the lime
when the Union Pacific was constructed as
a single line of transcontinental traffic wcro
presented In historical order ; and the probable -
able effect upon the revenues of the main
lines ot the Union Pacific as a result of the
falling off of the branch line system was
discussed at length. Ho gave detailed sta
tistics concerning the earnings of the road
for several yeara. From these figures ho
drew the conclusion that no gross earnings
exceeding $14,000,000 could bo counted upon
'
for the futu'ro. and that not more than 25
per cent of tftat amount could bo considered
net earnings. In answer to questions , ho
said that the Oregon and Gulf connection de
rived very llttlo business from Denver south ,
which would otherwise have been handled
by the Union Pacific.
Mr. Pierce , following Mr. Munroe , pre
sented a statement of the plan for the re
organization of the Union Paclflo Railway
company which was proposed by the reor
ganization commlttco. Ho detailed the mort
gage debts affecting the aided and non-
aided portlono of the railway , and discussed
the provisions of the plan relative to each
of thcso debts. The total bonds at their
face value and exclusive of accrued Interest
to bo provided for In reorganization ( oxclu-
tlvo ot the debt to the government ) would
ba $55,653,400. The entire amount of new
bonds necessary to retire the old , ho stated ,
was limited to $51,244,720 , Imposing upon the
new company an Interest charge of $2,049-
783 , against an Interest charge of about
$3,698,234 on the same bonds now , an an
nual saving of $1,618,440. The plan contem
plated that provision for all outstanding se
curities and future corporate requirements
should result In a fixed charge of not more
than $4,000,000 , reorganization on a higher
basis furnlshlnc- securltv acalnst fiittirn
Insolvency. The plan dealt only with the
lines of railroad , the lands , equipment , ter
minals and appurtenant properties of the
Union Pacific proper between Council Bluffs
and a point five miles west of Ogden , and
between Kansas City nnd Denver , and Den
ver and Cheycnno , Including the Omaha
bridge , and with the mortgages affecting
these properties only , together with certain
branch line properties which .are controlled
by ownership In mortgage trusts. Ho con
cluded his statement with a reference to
the adjustment of the debt to the govern
ment proposed by General Hubbard , and
whllo Insisting upon the onerous character
of the proposition as applied to the Union
Pacific railway , he conceded that It would
probably not Impose a burden of fixed charge
In excess of the present earning capacity
ot the property , and stated that the Union
Pacific Interests wcro In consultation with
Interests In Central Pacific property and that
the probabilities were that the proposition
advanced by the latter Interests would be
accepted on the part ot tbo Union Pacific
and made the basis of a Joint measure.

THISTLE -TAX LAW.
HERRICK , Neb. , 'Feb. 29. To the Editor
of The Bee : Allow mo to express a few
thoughts on the m'qs lqn thlstlo question
from the standpolnt.of a farmer and also a
member of the Doard of-SupervIsors of Knox ,
county. Under eectlffnn18 of' the 'so-called
thistle law the different6 amounts duo road
overseers and their help" shall be paid out of
the county general fund. Section SCO ,
statutes of IS'Jl , provides that the county
board at Its regular meeting In January shall
prepare an estimate of the necessary ex
penses of the county for the ensuing year
and no levy of taxes shall bo made for any
other purpose or amount than are specified
In such estimate , etc. And further , If any
levy shall bo made in excess of such esti
mate the tax shall not therefore bo void ,
but the members of tho' county board and
their sureties shall be Jointly and severally
liable upon their official bond for the full
amount of such excess , etc. The estimate
contemplated In section SG9 for the year 1895
had to bo made at a time prior to the date
of the enactment of the thistle law , which
was not approved until April 5 , 1895. That
is , a county board could not Include the ex
pense of destroying tbo thistles In the levy
of 1S95 , becaura no estimate had been made
or could have been inado to authorize such
lovy. Section 3976 provides that not more
than 9 mills shall be levied by the county
board for general fund purposes. As a mem-1
her of the Board of Supervisors for flvo
years , my experience haa been that the 9
mills general fund Is not quite sufficient to
meet the general expenses of Knox county.
The fact that claims against the general fund
of Knox county to the amount of about
$3,000 nro now on fllo and not paid for
want of levy , that being the accu
mulation of the last -"two years , goes to
show the correctness of my position. Per
haps more than one-lialf , of the counties of
the state como under this head. In order to
mike this law effectual and practical It
would have to bo accompanied by an ap
propriation that would enable every county
in the state to comply with Its provisions.
If a slnglo county In the state could not
comply with this law , and all the others
did , the amount expended by the counties
that did comply would be a dead loos. There
are also thousands of acres of state lands
and lands bold In severally by Indians that
do not and probably could not bo made to
como under such a law. Section 4 of this
act provides that the land owners must
have their thistles destroyed by August 15 ,
This date alone would make the law In
valid , * as I have known this thtstlo seed to
ripen at least one month earlier. To my
mind , therefore , the proper couree to betaken
taken by the several county boards of the
state , would ho to Instruct the county clerks
of the several counties to notify ( ho road
overseers not to act under said law , as the
legislature failed to make the necessary ap
propriation. I believe the law , as It Is , a
greater uulsanco ( ban the thistles.

IT WILL 1113 IX FAIR AVEEK.
of Ak-Sar-lleii AVI1I Xot Post
pone tinCarnival. .
The directors of the Knights ot Ak-Sar-
Bcn have decided not to postpone the date
of the festivities next fall. At a confer
ence with a committee of the OmabatRc-
tallers * association yesterday at noon It was
determined that the festivities should occur
In fair week.
The commlttco from the Retailors' as
sociation consisted ot Messrs. Hardy , Pat-
fenrath , Bcldcn , Cartwrlght and Klpllngcr.
They urged that the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities
should bo held later than fair week , which
opens August 31. It was held that the date
waa too early In the season for the retailers
to do any business with country customers ,
because the fall and winter stocks would
not bo on band.
The conference between the two bodies
lasted for several hours , but the directors
of tbo. knights decided not to change the
dato. It was not considered advisable to
separate the state fair and the carnival , and
consequently both will bo held at tbo aamo
tline.
The dlrectqrs decided not to hold their
ball on the same night on which a parade
Is given. In consequence every night dur
ing fair week \\II1 \ bo occupied with a parade
or other attraction , except ono night , on
which the ball will be given.
