Within a short time the reorganization committee is expected to aiako public ita new plan for the reorgani zation of the Union PacUIc railway , as as surances have been rectrred that the plan will be acceptable .to the representatives of the zovernment. The new plan is said to provide for the ae- curiag of the road by the reorganization committee for the actual net sum of CS 33L- 33 . although the mimmum bid waa flxed at J43.7j4.0'W. It is said that the plans for reorganization have proceeded so tar hat the chances ta be made in the board of directors hav been decided upon , and Oliver W Mink of this city a named as the probable president of tbe ntrw corporation. The tlloCnent of flret i mortgage 4 per ceat bonds , which1 under the | orisriaal plan , was to be $100.000 000. is ta be reduced under the new plan to $73.009.900. and there Is to be an Increase in thd allot ment in preferred stock to the Caioa Pacidc sinking- fund S * aad the Kansas Paciflc con sols. Tta reorgan ration committee has aow secured practically all of the outstanding bonds afloat and nearly ali thf stock. The Ume far the actual sale of the road to the new company under the foreclosure prorrediaga was set for ine arst week in July. but. owing to necessary legal formall- ti : . naicn mast be complied with. It is aot expected that the crest system will be operated by the aew company much before September or October of this year. The Kansas City & Omaha , and the St. Joseph & Grand Island being separately or- eanlzed. pass out of the Union Pacific system. The Denver & Gulf and some of the smaller roads In Kansas and Nebraska which are profitable properties , are aot to be included In the reorganization plan and are to shift for themselves.

"With the forced exception of the govern ment organs , the reilly tree aad intensely patriotic press of the nation proclaims it. Spain'4 more than 12.OO1.000 of illiterate peoI I I pie understand the situation fully as well ! as their fewer enlightened brethren and feel i It a hundred fold more. The Spanish peasant I parents have offered up their sons to Cuban | | fevers for mare than two years. Many of those sons have came home , only as disease ! broken and bullet shattered tokens of a war which means nothiac to them or to their iamihes. a war which is not azajnst the Span ish people , but against the Spanish oflce holders in Cuba , aad the sponsors of the conservative part ? In Spain. I have ques tioned many Spanish soldiers In the towns aad fields- .Cuba. Net one of them knew why there was war there. They had been told simplv that it was 'para la patrla.

While th Spaniards , ! to a man proudly refue to think of confer ' ring with tie Cuban insurgents and , indeed , could not accomplish much should they do so. for the Cubans would think such over tures the plainest confession of weikaess aad certainly would go no further than to reaew an offer of money far absolute inde pendence , and should th Spanish zavera- ment rejecr the proposition as ronralaily as it does now. the solution of the Cabin ques- con would be Indeflaitely postponed. Therefore , as the bulk of the Spanish pea- pie are averse tn trying to settle the ques tion by further war against the Cubans and as all the people oppose settlement by peace ful meana directly with the Cahans. the thirl alternative , the settlement by the United States , is the only one at sre = s nt feasible for Spain.

Tie receipt of the news of the ? ov raor'3 action waa the cause of zreat satisfaction amen ? the friends of the exposition In this city. In fact , ther ? has been nothina la con- nectian with the exposition which has ? leas d the officers to much , anless It was the auccfc a of the ? overraent appropriation. The WH prnvidini ; for the apprnpriation by Illinois was prepared under the direction of the executive committee of the exposition when there were v ry few outside who save the committee any encouragement to hope for anything from a state aa tar east. But the committee took the ground that the Inter ests of Chteaco in the success ot Nebraska and other western states w re so ? reat that that state , poselbly more than most of the states in the tracsmiasisatppi country , would desire to be appropriately represented at the exposition. The bill waa sent to Spriag2eld and was introduced , referred to a committee. and then a delegation of business men from this city went to Chicaso and from there ta the capital of the state. At Chicago the party ' was the zuiat of men who had taken . an active part in the bulldinsj ot the World's fair aad niaav of these were interested In the western enterprise to the extent that they also went to Spnnii3eUl to aid by their presence and support the bill for the appro priation. At SpriBii2eld the two hous of the legislature had a joint se&aton for the benefit of the Jeleeation and listened to arsa- raents by Nebraska men and by men from Chicaao why Illinois should make the appro priation acked for. INCREASES THE APPROPRIATION. The result of this visit was that the bouse i paisei the bill providing for an appropriation of J.S 000. 'he same amount that was set auide for the Nashville exposition. The measure , however , seemed to ham ; fire in the senate , | and another delegation was sent over from | Omaha. A member of this party was Lucius Wells ot Council BluSa. who has stmnir business connection in Illinois , and the fact of whobe residence in Iowa had considerable i weicht appearing as he did as a champion of taa exposition. While this committee au on ; the ground the senate took up the bill and [ passed it. amecdtn ? by raisin ? the amount | of tht appropriation to SoO JOO and providing 'h" ? Jo.owl of the amuunt should be set a ide | for the salaries and expenses of the com mission to be appointed to have charge of I the disbursement of the fund. ! The house was act willing ta accept the provision for salaries for ths commission , but was satisfied" with the Increased appro priation. The aeEate wis dUgga d Ja taag out for its amesjlmects , hut on tSe advlca ir the- delegation Cam the exposition manage ment , aad of other friends of the enterpr.s- on the zrouad. the senate receded from the salary amendment and the bill wad then sent to the coveraor. with a net appropriation at J43 000. The niinois friends of the bill felt sat isfied taat Governor Taamr would sign it. In fact he did siga it last week , but fearing ing- afterward ttat the total appropnatioas far tae year would exceed the limit he Wth- drew the bilL This action was communicated to the exposition authorities and the latter telc rapU'd to E.

But this does , not ahnw all the work done by tae executive committee and other Jrieads of the exposition in favor of this Ulinola appropnanan. Many tnps were made to Chicago by membtrs of the committee , ind.- vldualy and collectively aad the powers in that city were made to understand the im portance of secunasj the appropriation. The measure was clo * < ? iy watched from tae time ot ifcj introduction till it was aimed by the governor , aad in tte cloatns hours of .ta history the bill had no warmer fnends in this alt ? than some of those business men in Chicago who chimptaned it. The bill as it became a. law provides for an. appropnanon of Wo.uW. with which Illi nois shalt erect a suitable building for an exhibit of the product- * and industries of tie state.

The sisth day af t3e Hartley trial i-lafd with a most startling situation un. tt > d and with tile possibility that the trial may cmne to an abrupt ending with a verdict of "not guilty" retKraml by direction of tha court. This state of attain was anught about br the Sling at a motion by the de fense , after thi > state had rested iSa case , asking the court to direct the Jury to re turn a verdict for tan defendant for the reason that the evidence hail failed a dis close that any "money" had been embez zled by the defendant. The argument an this motion was made by Mr. Mahoney. who took the asiUon that his client could not be charged and tried tor embezsiing money and be convicted of embezzling a credit la a bank , this argument being bawd an the testimony af the oQciala of the Omaha Na tional bank to the effect that the whnlo trantuctian in the ease bad been by muaoa af a. shifting af cmMU on the bank s books. The argument in support of this motion oc cupied the time uf the court from 4-2U to 5 p. m. , and court was adjourned until this morning when the attorneys for the stata will arzue against the matiun. The serious part of the matter lies in the tact that Judge Eaker stated In reply to Jlr. Mahoney's argument that this very ques- uon had given him a great deal at uneaor- ness since the trial commenced and that 1C was a very grave question In ha mind. whether the motion ought not be sustained. The defense gave an indication yesterday morainir , for the first Ume since trial started , of one line of defense * hiou will prob ably be followed In caa the motion to instruct the jury la ovemued. To state it briefly. thea bole a3air will ae modu a. matter at bookkeeping , and the attempt will probably be made to contuse the Jury by raising quiu- tiona of intricate bookkeeping and mejgt- iag ( hat there has been no defalcation , hue that the money ! a la the treauury. Thz attitude of the defense developed In the crosa-eiaminaEoa of Bookkeeper Wilson and ex-D"puty Treasurer G. II. SartieU , who were recalled : Sis moraing by the defense for croES-esammanon. The questions aukcd these witnesses showed plainly that the de fense intends to set up that the portion of the staking fund which was lo t by the failure of the Capital National bank , ot Lin- coin baa been earned along In the fanda as though it was available , and that the JlS-3.iflI.T5 which waa wlpidrawa from the senerar fund to reimburse the sinking fund for the los waa never credited to that funi because such a course would have resulted in a. double entry The prosecuaon announced on Saturday that It would rest Us case with the reading of the documentary evidence to the jury , but the action taken by the defense this mora ine may result in prolonging the imroduc- ion of evidence for the state by several days , as experts will probably be called to analyze the records of the treasurer's offlca and clear the minda of the Jurv of the foi { raised by the attitude of the defense. THAT CREDIT NOT APPA&E1ST. The morning session opened with the read- ins of the documentary evidence introduced by tne state. Attorney General Smyth read and showed to the Jury an entry in th daybook of the treasurer's office , showing ; a JhargB asainst the general fund on January LsOT of J20L.SS4.05. on account of a ch clt payable to "J. H. Jfillard. Ft. " Deins the check drawn by Bar-ley in the Omuba Na tional bank on the date named tor payment of the principal and Interest of the warrant in controversy. The attorney general thea read the sinking fund account covering iho pt-riod from April 10. tSSS , up to the tirna Hartley went out of office. January 1. ISflT. Every item was read. sBowtng recuipui from. all sources , but no Item appeared to snow where the fund had ever been Increased by the addition of J1S0.1ULT3 , covered by tin warrant. Tha monthly statements made by Hartley to the auditor of state -iMrins the period be ' tween April L 1S95. and January . 1S3T , ere i also read to the JuryTbes * are the state ments which wer- strongly objected to by tha defense on the ground that they * r * not reports required by la * to be made and * re. therefore , of no afflptal value. They show the receipts -IiBburaementa in each fumi during the ma nth covered by the report , and the balance in the several funda it tha data af tJie rsport.
