While no decision baa been announced by
the executive officers on the application of
citizens ot Holt and Knox countleu of this
state for an extension connecting the North
western lines from Emmet to Verdlgre It Is
practically certain that neither this extension
oi > any other In the west will bo built this
year. General Manager Bldwcll ot the Elkhorn -
horn road la authority for euch a statement.
Applications have been made for numerous
extensions of the Elkliorn , Omaha and other
Northwestern roads In Nebraska. All euch
requests have been referred to the heads of
the Northwestern system , and eome of them
are under consideration. It baa been de
cided In a general way , however , that It Is
not practicable to build any extensions dur
ing the year 189S. Whether the extension
asked from Emmet to Verdtgre elands any
better show of being built than any of the
Doveral others that have been asked Is
merely a matter of conjecture.

All the railroads leading Into Omaha re
port good rains along their respective lines
during Sunday. The rain was heaviest In
the eastern portion of the state , being of
about the same depth as In Omaha. The
railroads In the eastern and central parts of
Kansas reported heavier rains than the Ne

there were snow flurries all day on Sunday

one of exlreme delicacy. Having frequenlly

have always found ! that his attitude as re

they have not the slightest Influence with
him. He Is a mart of remarkable Intelli
gence , an admirably equipped diplomat , al
ways cool , knowing when to be firm or con
ciliatory , and the sincere admirer of our people
ple and our InstltUllons. He Is equally
friendly to the Spanish government and our
government.
"The fact Is that If our government In
tends to take any decisive action which
would lead to hoslllllics It can discard any
apprehension that any European power would
take any active part against our uovernment.
Alliances In European politics have become
so fashionable that they become a most Im
portant factor In settling any European
question , but with us the case Is different.
No European power could have any possible
Inlerest in Intermeddling In a question of
peace or war between Spain and the United
States. "
"What do you think of the present crisis ? "
Mr. Eustls was asked.
"I think that we are unavoidably drifting
Into a war. From""the moment that Mr.
Cleveland and subsequently Mr. McKluley
asserted the right of our government to Intervene -
tervene to etop the war In Cuba I have
never been able to discover any pacific solu
tion of this question. I would deprecate a
war with Spain , but It Is evident that tha
present situation la becoming unendurable
and that the American people are determined
that this running sore In our International
politics shall bo cured. "
