DR3 MOINE3 , March 16. ( Special Tele
gram. ) A great victory was scored today
by the friends ot a liberal appropriation for
ttowa'n representation at the Omaha Exposi
tion. By a vote of 59 to 30 the house passed
the bill to give $30,000 for this purpoie. In
addition to the $10,000 already voted. There
was a lively discussion , I'orter of I'otta-
wattamlo making a strong plea for the bill ,
of which he was the author. Ho called on
the state j > rldo of the legislators to sec thai
the state bo given a creditable representa
tion at the exposition , which would do Iowa
more good than any ever before held. Hlnk-
son of Guthrle offered an amendment to cul
the amount to $20,000 , which was lost aftci
further discussion. The original bill ther
passed ,
In the senate It was admitted that the overwhelming -
whelming , vote of the house had exercised a
good Influence and that the bill's chances
for favorable consideration were much bet'
tcr than at any previous time. It will comi
up as soon as the board of control bill Is dls
posed of.

or 100 varieties of potatoes grown In tha
county , which make a specialty of growlni
the tubers. "We will beat them all to piece

potatoes , all grown In Oregon , and I gues
If wo sot out to do It wo could find anothe

A press dte atch'from New York last
night says : "The subcommittee appointed at
the conference yesterday of passenger agents
to formulate a plan for settling the trans
continental rate trouble reported back to the
main body today announcing ! Its Inability tc
agree on any basis of settlement.
"Two main propositions were presented In
the tension of the subcommittee , one to re-
stot-o rates and submit to arbitration the
question Involved , the other to let the rates
alone during the arbitration proceedings.
"Neither met the wishes of oil parties
partly because the situation In local mtcs
In Canada , as between the Grand Trunt
and the Canadian Pacific , -\\as eo atralnei
that no arbitration eeemcd potstble. Chair
man Martin of the subcommittee said he was
hopeful some agiUenicnt might be rcuchct
It further time ere given and the sub
committee was continued. It will report a
another meeting tomorrow. "
Much regret but little surprise wus mani
fested by the pasvongen oiIlcUls of Omnh ;
lines when , Informed of this state of affairs
It had been hoped that some early settle
ment of the dlfllcultles could be reached , ni
the Omaha lines , while not strictly In thi
atorm , are suffering greatly from the gen
ctml demoralluitlon In through passcngci
rates.
General Passenger Agent Lorn ax of thi
Union Pacific eald : "It's too bad , but we'l
hope that tomoiTow'a meeting may find i
( solution for the trouble. I doubt very mucl
If 'there will be any arbitration of the mat
tcr , aa the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific declare that they will not eub
mil the demand ot the Canadian Paclil
for a differential to arbitration. "
Assistant Geneml Passenger Agent Smltl
of the B. & M. said : "I think It is l.urdl ;
likely that the lines that ara deepest In th
flght will submit to arbitration. A differ
ontlal by the Canadian Paclfli through SI
Paul might bo agreed to , but the America :
lines will evidently not conceed to the Can
adlan Pacific thei privilege of putting In i
differential on transcontinental travc
through 'the Port Arthur ( Ontario ) gutcwaj
That's how the matter standa now and ap
parcntly no solution U In eight. "
MEANS EVEHYTH1NG TO IIOADS.
The result of the meeting today lu anx
lously awaited by all passenger men hurt
as It Is believed that a failure to reach som
agreement today will mean the coutlnuntlo
of the great rate war to the bitter end wit
a probability of rates to tbo northern ccaa
points going do\vii to $1 or less. As the rat
war now on Is the greatest that has eve
been to northern Pacific points , eo the meet
Ing called to attempt a settlement of th
controversy Is the largest and most rcpre
sontatlvo passenger meeting that has bee
held among American lines for several years
Over sixty prominent passenger tralllc me
are In attendance and the committee that 1
working toward a solution consists of : I
B. Martin , manager ot passenger traffic c
the Baltimore & Ohio , who Is chairman ; General
oral Passenger Agent Hanson of the Bcsto
& Albany , for the New England Passenge
association : General Passenger and Tlcke
Agent Hcafford of the Chicago , Mllwaukc
& St. Paul , for the Western Passenger assj
elation ; General Passenger and Ticket Agen
Whitney of the Great Northern , for th
Transcontinental Passenger association
General Passenger and Ticket Agent E. A
Ford of the Pennsylvania lines , west c
Plttsburg ; Passenger Traffic Manager Me
Nlcol' of tbo Canadian Pacific , and Qencri
Passenger and Ticket Agent Davis ot th
Grand Trunk.
Should the committee to which the subjec
was referred succeed In securing a rcstora
tton to the standard rate of $30.50 pcndln
arbitration , and tbat Is 'tho best result no' '
expected , notice of an intention to thus ad
vance the rate must be posted ten days be
fore the advance Is put Into effect. Allowln
for the tlmo for printing and dlstrlbutln
such notices , It is a conservative csttmat
to say that an advance will not bo cffcctlv
before April 1. With ten days' notice the
rates are to bo raised , It Is fair to presum
that the rush of spring travel for the Klor
dike will have to bo handled by the rallroat
at the lowest rates to the Pacific slope eve
seen.

the Uat few dayi a quantity ot Wind In the
northwestern part ot the city h s been
purchased by the company and negotiations
are still pending fdn more. From Ed Cas-
eldy the road has purchased four halt
blocks1 of ground at Thirty-eighth and L
afreets ; five blocks from Peter Lienagh In
the same locality ; lx blocks fiom G. W <
RUM * ! ! on Thirty-eighth street between K
and li etreets , and a few more scattering
pieces. Condemnation proceedings have
been commenced to obtain possession of
another tract In the same locality. Good
prices have been raid for the land already
acquired and It Is thought that fatlsfactory
arrangements will yet bo made with the
party agaln.it whom condemnation proceed
ings have been commenced. It Is stated
that the 'Burlington ' Intends straightening
Its main line und also locating snitch yarda.
A depot to be located at Thirty-seventh
and F streets his been planned and thld
will bo built during the spring , provided the
land necessary Is obtained. Among the Im
provements contemplated Is a viaduct across
L street at Thirty-eighth street. In case
It la deemed Inadvisable to erect an over
head 'bridge ' the trackii will bo lowered seas
as to .pass uudeii the grade creasing. When
these Improvements are completed or well
under way the residents ot the Fourth nurd
expect that the Hanscom park car line ,
which ends at Shccly station , will be ex
tended no far south ns the liurllngton depot ,
and possibly as far as the north entrance

On Friday evening the nast Side Improve
ment club will meet to hcur the report of
the committee appointed at the last meet
ing > to visit the officers of the Omaha Street
Hallway company. This committee had a
conference with representatives of the com
pany yesterday and are now ready to make
a report. In compliance with the demands
made by the east sldciu of 'this ' city and
the south s Id era of Omaha the street car
people have agreed to extend the Tenth
fitreot line as far eouth as 'Bancroft street-
and the Thirteenth street line to the south
entrance of lllverviaw park. It Is stated
that u double track will bo laid on Thir
teenth street from Vlnton street south to D
street , nhi'ro ' the park entrance Is located.
In regard to the question of extending this
line on a mile further Into the heart ot
South Omah'i the company la not ready yet
to give a definite ansuer. It hns been
ttated by President Frank Murphy 'that ' he
has the matter In charge and will personally
go over the ground as eoon as ho can And
time. He expects to make this trip In a
few dayal and has agreed to notify the com
mittees appointed by the East and South
Side clubs of the date. Only a short time
ago It was stated by officers of the street
uillway company that the Thirteenth etreot
line would be extended If , after an Inspec
tion , It was found that the extentlon would
pay operating expenses. The east slders
have taken this matter up and now etand
ready to furnish a bond to Indemnify the
company in case the pationago U not up
to expectations. Residents In the eastern
portion of the city are very anxious to have
'this ' mat tor settled ono \say or the other
and feel that the street car people should
do what they > could to hasten mutters. Inas
much ao the application for A new franchise
has 'been ' postponed for the time on account
of the promises mada by onicera of the com
pany.

to jail. She had , she eald , taken advice
from an ex-Justice of the peace , and he had
Instructed her to refuse to submit to ar
