This resolution wai passed by the boar
of directors of the Transmlsslsslppl and In

called to consider the matter yesterda

of tha lire stock men present at the meet

leld In the United States.
This action of the board was taken afte

Twenty-nine members of the board wer

made short talks , explaining the position c
the committee In the matter. They ex
plained that there Is no disposition on th
part of the committee to belittle tha llv

for medals only was taken after careful con
slderatlon of the matter when there secmc
to bo no way of providing the money ncccs

The matter was discussed at length by

TREASURY FATING OUT GOLD
Dftllr Hev n e * at the Clovernnteat

. U l'ed ' la' > af4iiK Bx | eae * .
WASHINGTON , Mfcr.ll. When asked to
day as to the reasfltp.tor go large disburse-
mcnts In gold Asslsfflflt Secretary Vonderllp
explained that with 'th'c present largo stock
of gold In the treasury , about $180,000,000.
and with the daily rfrvnucs coming In paid ,
as they arc substantially , In gold , It was Im
perative thnt dlsbttrjergents should be mada
In similar funds. > ,
The fact , too , that the dally payments are
now and for sometime will continue to be
In excess of the receipts makes It plain that
the large gold balance ? will be reduced. This
will continue , he sAlfl Mntll by the proceeds
of sales of the new bomls to be provided for
the receipts are augmented.
Comparing the receipts of the several
kinds of money now In the treasury with
, the figures of November 11 last It Is found
( that the amount of gold has Increased from
[ $155,036,050 to $1S0.696,9I4. The amount of
I free silver has decreased from $16,142,314 to
$6,734,109 , and the amount of United States
I notes has decreased from $39,937,958 to $31-
11,6,53. The amount of treasury notes Is
hewn to have been decreased by over $2-
40,000. and the national bank notes about
1,900,000 ; and during the same time the de-
loilts In national banks have Increased
about $10.000,000 on account of deposits at
money received from the Pacific railroads.
For some months prior to the declaration
of war the receipts from customs \vero con-
tnntly Increasing. This Is shown by the
ecords of the department , from which It
appears that since August , 1897 , the rc-
dpts from this source were 03 follow * :
August , $5.978,702 ; September , $7,943,100 ;
October , $9,713,491 ; November , $9.830.025 ;
December , $11,660,788 ; 'January. 1898. $14.-
09.492 ; February , $15.040,680 ; March. $15-
50,431.
In April the customs receipts fell off to
14.193,967. For the first eleven days of the
resent month they amount to $5,157,221. So
ar the actual disbursements made on ac
count of the war amount to about $16,000-
000. . _ _ _ V

against the Union Pacific Hallway company.
Each of the two successor } ' receivers must
file a bond for $300,000 before or on Muy
20 , 1S9S9. Omaha Is named as the city for
the location of the principal office of the
successor/ receivers , nnd one of the two
must be In attendance at the office In this
city whenever his duties In that office do
not call him elsewhere.
In the suit of the American Loan and Trust
company , trustee , against the Omaha &
Republican Valley Railroad company , Oliver
W. Mink and Thomas P. Wilson are named
as succcssory receivers , and Q. M. Lambert-
son as counsel nnd attorney. As succcssory
receivers for the Omaha & Republican Vol
ley railroad each must give a bond of $10-
000 by May 20.
The principal reason given for. the resig
nation of Receivers Clark , Mink , Anderson ,
Coudcrt and Doane Is given In the follow
ing language : "Nearly all of the railroads
which were placed In the hands of the said
receivers for operation have been sold and
delivered to the purchasers , and It Is nc
longer necessary to employ live receivers tc
complete the administration of this trust. "
Letters of resignation as receivers In all
the receivership cases from S. H. H. Clark ,
Oliver W. Mink , E. Ellery Anderson , Fred
eric R. Coudert nnd John W. Uoano are at
tached to the orders. The letter from S. H ,
H. Clark , formerly president of the Union
Pacific , is similar to the others , and Is as
follows :
ST. LOUIS. April 16. Hon. Walter H
Sanborn. United States Circuit Judge , St
Paul. Minn. My Dear Sir : Your lettei

ChnrKC I'jjctru Pure.
CHICAGO , May 11. The fast train prob
lem Is again before the western roads. Thi
last cause of trouble Is the fast train whicl
the Rock Island has Just put on bctvwer
Chicago and Denver and It Is the roads frorr
St. Louts which arc making the ohjectlonf
this time. They say that by reason of It :
connections at Kansas City the Rock Islam
has cut the time between St. Louis and Den
ver and that U should therefore charge ar
extra fare on Its fast train.
The Rock Island has declined to entcrtalr
the proposition and says that for years the
Union Pacific has been making as good tlmi
between Kansas City and Denver as It It
now doing and that as that road has not
been asked to pay any extra fare on Iti
trains there Is no reason why the demam
should be made on the Rock Island.
The Burlington takes a strong view U
the opposite direction and says that If th <
Rock Island does not charge the extra fan
It will not charge any extra fare on Its fas
train between Chicago and Denver and thui
the entire fast train question will be openec
up once more.
A meeting has been called for next Tues
day to consider the matter.

MILWAUKEE , May II. A hot discus-
slon developed today at the meeting of the
Transcontinental Freight bureau relative to
iroposed changes In rates on carload and
ess than carload lots between Chicago and
San Francisco.
A big delegation of San Francisco nnd
other .Pacific const Jobbers , manufacturers
and hardware men appeared at the meet-
ng with a request that local rates bo ad
vanced 60 per cent above carload rates.
The demand Is being fought by A. J *
Valandlnghntn , commissioner of the St.
Louis Traffic bureau , and others from Chicago
cage , who demand that the difference bo
maintained as at present , or If any changes
> e made they bo graded In the same pro
portion all over the country.
The object of the San Francisco and
other Pacific coast Jobbers Is to prevent
competition from Chicago nnd St. Louis
jobbers.

Mind Made Up Del-
nHelr.
"If the United States government will onlf
make up Its mind where It wants to Mn4
the Nebraska troops the railroad companlM
will soon get In readiness to handle th
business , " Bald a railroad official to tM
Dee Wednesday noon. Jut after the tatttt
change In orders had been made. lie et *
pressed the opinion that was general
throughout railway circles.
Last week U was conceded that ( ho N
braska troops were to be sent south. It tlwf
were to leava the state at all. On Sunday II
was announced that ono rcglmunt of Ntt
braska's Infantry would surely go to 9a *
Francisco , the news having been coiiveywt
In a telegram to Governor llolcomb from lh
War department at Washington , It was sur
mlscd that the other rcglmcut would be Bent
south. Thereupon all the railroaders com
menced to figure how they could get sotn *
of the business , the westbound roads looking
toward the posslblo haul to the Pacific count ,
and the southern and eastern lines havlnf
In mind the other movement.
On Tuesday night Acting Quartermaster
Jones of the Department of the Missouri ,
U. S. A. received n telegram from the waf
department that the troops of Nebraska ,
among other western troops would be split
south. Accordingly there wna a conclave of
passcziRpr men of all the lluus runulug east
and south out of Omaha at the department
headquarters In The Dee building on
\Vednt-sday morning. Dlds were asked for.
and Captain Jones told the railroad men
that IIP wanted to bo able to reply to tha
War department that transportation facili
ties could bo furnished within six houra
uftcr notlOcatlon to begin the movement ,
All the passenger men then returned to their
respective olllees nnd bcgnn to llgUrc on
rates for a big southern movement.
Tills procedure was about knocked in the
head at noon when It was learned that
( lovcrnor Holrorab hnd received another
telegram from Secretary of War
Algor to thu effect that the First regiment
of the Nebraska Infantry bhould bo scut
without delay to San Kranclsco. This news
set the railroad men guessing again , and
by afternoon they hardly knew what to do.
If the First regiment Is Rent to the Paelflo
coast , as the latest Information Indicates ,
thu competition will bo between the Union
Pacific , the Hock Island and the niifllnctdit
railroads. If the movement Is u "rUiih
movement , " It Is probable that the Union
Pacific will bo used , ns that Is the shortest '
line , but If the government Is after the low
est bid for the haul there Is apt to bo a
stiff fight nmoiiK ull thren of the lines.
