" The action ot Governor Ilolcoinb In refus ing to approve the bonds ot the four banks Included In the last tabulated statement maybe bo guessed ot. In order to place the gov ernor's refusal before the people In diagram form tlio following statement will servo : lly the provisions of the law under which no deposltoiy Is entitled to more than one- halt of the amount of the bond given to secure the state , the First National bank ot Platts- moulh would bo entitled to $10.000 ot etnto funds. The treasurer's report shows that it hold on the day Us bond was approved by the Bccretary of state and attorney general $11- 7CI. or $1,761 In excess of the legal amount. The Columbia National of Lincoln should hold not to exceed $50,000. The report fihou-8 that Ho holdings on November 30 , 1S96 , were $61,950 , or $14,950 In excess of the legal amount. The First National Dank of Greenwood should hold not to cxroeil $10,000. The report < port nhowfl tlrat on November 30. 1S96 , It licit ! $10,674 , or $574 In CXCCM ot the legal amount The First National of Lincoln held bill $56 In cxccns ot the amount Its bond entitled It to. Treasurer Mesorvo holds that the obvlotm violation of the plain provisions ot the de pository law In reference to these four hanks may vltlato their bonds. This Is ona of the features of the law which the supreme court has been nuked to Interpret. Several days before his retirement from ofllco Treasurer Hartley called In $300,000 In outstanding warrants. Thcso warrants will Imvo to be met from the funds volun tarily turned In by depository bnnks nnd collected from county treasurers. The com- IDK monthly statement of the ntnto treas urer promises to show a marked reduction In the total amount of outstanding general fund warrants. The members nnd employes of the legis lature received warrants for the first In- nlallmcnt of their pay loday. While It was at first reported that these warrants would have to bo cold at the otllccs of local brokers at G per cent discount the state treasurer redeemed nil that were presented at par.

The Board of Directors ot the Transrals- slsslppl and International Exposition hclO a npedal meeting yesterday afternoon tc receive the report of the' expert engineers employed to examine the 'five * ltcs tendered ns locations for the Exposition , and report on the most valuable Bite for Exposition pur poses. Every member of the board was pres ent , with the exception ot General C. F. Mandcrson. The cession was short but de cidedly animated , although nothing was done In the way of opening the report of the engineers , or voting upon a site , all action In this direction being postponed for two weeks. The meeting was held In the now quarters of the Exposition , In the 1'axton block. The room where the directors will hold all thcl meetings IB barely large enough for all th dltcelors to bo sealed , consequently the lobby was compelled to occupy the hall adjoining the room. The lobby was very numerous the supporters of all the sites being prcscn In force. The hall and doorways wer crowded nnd every point of vantage wa filled. After the usual preliminaries , the bus ) ness of the meeting opened with the Introduc tlon of a resolution 'by ' G. M. Hltchcocl providing that after reading and dlscu&lni , the report of the engineers , further ccnsldcrn tlon of the report and the vote upon a sit bo postponed until after the legislature o Nebraska has acted upon the bill now pend Ing , which provides for a etate appropriation In explaining the resolution , Mr. Hltchcocl said that unless the legislature of Nebraski makes a liberal appropriation there Is no us In attempting to carry on the Exposition , a the legislatures ot other states would re fuse to support an exposition In Ncbrask : that was not supported by the legislature o that state. For this reason Mr. Hltchcocl said he was opposed to taking any further action until It IB determined what the leg Islature will do. DISCUSSION OF RESOLUTION. This resolution formed the subject of ni animated discussion In which nearly over } director tcok part. The resolution was op posed by several ot the directors on the ground that no harm would result fror. choosing a site , and that It would look more businesslike to .go ahead as far as possible without Incurring large expense. Thews dl rectors wcro In i favor of opening the repor of the engineers and voting at once upon the location. This course was warmly sup ported by J. O. Wharton , Dr. E. W , Leo C. E. Yet , Alvln Eaunders , J. L. Webster and others. T f The resolution was supported by all the members of -executive committee , nnd a largo number of others. C. S. Montgomery said It would be an Insult to the people o the communltyto open the reports and vote upon a site without allowing the report o the engineers to be made public and glvo the cltlzeno on opportunity to be-heard In the matter. Herman Kotfntze 6ild the resolution shouli bo adopted , but If iliould first bo amended to provide that the report should not bo npcnci at this time. In support of this Mr. Kountzo made a shortcut earnest talk which had a very perceptible effect. G. H. Payno' ' drmanded that the rcpor should ha oponedand'inado public some time before a voto.i34akc , i.thnt nianibors ot Uiq board , no well aa the General public , mlgh have nn opportunity 01 learning what the report contains/ This Idea did not meet w.lth favor and the amendment was adopted. , , GOES OVER FOR TWO WEEKS. J. L. Wcbetcr then ottered a oubstltute providing that the special committee ap pointed to employ engineers to examine the 3ltC3 bo given two weeks longer In which to report. After a brief discussion the substi tute was adcptcd. C. S. Montgomery , of the special commit tee of lawyers appointed to Investigate the legal right of the city of Omaha and Douglar county to make appropriations for the sup port of the Exposition , reported that the authorities of the city or county have no such power. Ho aald It would bo acceasao for the Icglslnturo to enact laws giving the city nnd county such power before such ac tion could bo taken. The executive committee reported that It liad not yet taken nny action upon the reso lution of Director Youngs regarding the em ployment of Douglas county labor on the Exposition , and asked that It bo given fur ther time. The request was granted and the board then adjourned for two weeks. TKAI.V CJOKS THROUGH A TltKSTKK. Three I'erHOiiH Arc ICillnl nil it Fifteen Olh'erx Are Injiireil. CLARION , Pa. , Jan. 23.

The greatest feelIng - Ing ot alarm prevails hero among the masses of the population on account of n number of suihien deaths which have occurred In one street. 01110 ton dnyn ago a report was circulated hero that a case ot bubonic plague had been discovered.

Under the circumstances It Is not extra ordinary that the authorities wcro greatly alarmed when the report was first spread that a case of bubonic plague had been discovered , but It was not until today that the general public became frightened. It was announced that nine sudden deaths had occurred In ono street within a few days , nnd of , course the plague wns blamed , rightly or wrongly , In every case. The health officers declare that nil nine cases wcro deaths from "Infectious pneumonia , " but the public Is very far from being satis fied. fied.Dispatches Dispatches received here from Paris show that tbo government Is fully allvo to the danger.
