Trust Company in behalf of the bondholders. The
road extends fnom Hannibal, Mo-, to Denison, Tex,
distance of $40 miles. II operates, In addition
branch lines from Parsons to Junction CITY, Man,
and from Holden Mo-, to Paoa, Kan. lhese
branches add over 900 miles to the length OF inc
main line. The Chicago. Burlington and quincy
Railroad, by its branches, connects at hahnlOa'
No.. with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Road
Negotiations have been peuding for several weeks
between the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Com
pany. or persons representing it, and the bond
holders of The Missouri, Kansas and Texas ROAD, LOT
lease 10 the former company of the property OF the
latter company. No definite result mas been reaches
vet. and NJ is SAID to be doubtful II the eHoItS VIII
meet with success.
The first mortgage of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Road amounts to SD, 1852, 900; and besides
mortgages on its branches OF nearly S4,OOO,oOo
there Is a second income mortgage on It's property
Of over SO SOC, 600 These latter bonds were gwen
mainly IN settlement of the floating debt OF the
company. Default in the payment OF interest," on
It's first mortgage bonds was made by the company
in December, 1873. In the negotiations for lease
Of the road to the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
l
latter company was for the payment of per cent
interest on the first mortgage bonds, which were
sold on tho promise of per cent, provided the IN
teregt were earned. The bOndhOldcrs rep1ed IN
effect that they would continue the operation OF the
road and pay s per cent, on the same conditions
The bOndhOldeTs were asked then II they WoulG ac-
cept pcr cent, guaranteed by the Chicago, Bur
liugton and Quincy Company, but 1t is SAID that
the question has been answered IN the negative
The negotiations, which thus Tar have lalied Oh re-
suit have referred only to the payment OF interest
on the first mortgage bonds. No provision has been
made for that on the second income bonds, A syndl-
ga q OF Dutch bankers is said TO control about So
10000 of the first mortgage bOndsj but it is under
stood that they are satisfied with the security ior
their debt Large holders of the first mortgage
bonds have been urged to consent TO the lease Oh
the road to the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Company, but the efforts thus Tar have been uudNa-
ing They demand, 1t is said, fair return on the
money invested. and an absolute guarantee OF the
payment Of the interest by the Chicago. huntington
and Quincy Company. 4 circular addressed 10 the
bondholdcTs, and cmbOdying the proposed plans OF

ANEW CURIOSITY AT THE AQUARIUM.

A NEW CURIOSITY AT THE AQUARIUM
The arrival of manatee or Mexican sea-cOw at
the Aquarium on Tuesday caused a cOmmotion in
the large tank, which has had no occupant since
the death OF TIE muchlamented white whale some
months ago This manatee is O full-grOwn male,
and the largest of his kind ever exhibited. tits Of
dark iron-gray color on the back and lighter gray
underneath. The hide is tough, and covered with
thin coating of hair about one 10 tho square inch
and this as fine as silk. From the tip of his mastif
like nose to the farthes point on his round tail the
creature measures twelve feet, or five feet longer
than the one exhibited at Central Park some Sum
ncTs ago. That specimen weighed 400 pounds, but
this one weighs about 5000. The tan Is circular,
resembling the blade Of propeller. Ii measures
three feet across the blade He has two hippeTs,
which are tipped with fiat, ting:I-llke nails. lie
feeds on herbs eating about baTTelfull of common
river grass in day. His preference Is for fresh
water although he can live In salt. lie moves on
land if at all, by extending and contracting his
body after the manner of the despsed caterpillar.
Albert Stypman, who, with the aid OF another
man captured the specimen in the ST. Lucie River,
FLORIDA four months ago, and who has had long
. experience m watching the growth and habits OF
the creature, says that oil naturallsts who have
written about IL have been incorrectly informed as
to It's habits. The reports that 1t broWses on SHORE
are GctIOns lie would not cat out OF water II be
went hungry two weeks, and he does not Ike grass
which grows on dry land. The average length OF
an adult mlnateo is nine feet. They have occa-
elonally reached the length Of twenty feet, weighing
two or three tons. This specimen, after being cX-
bibited al the Aquarium for several weeks, viii be
taken 70 England, and thence to France.

The committee appointed by the property holders
IN the Twenty-third and TwenJy-tourth Wards,
consisting of Leonard Jerome r. A. Brick, Charles
w. Bathgate, and w. w. Niles, called on Mayor
Cooper Yesterday. and presented petition asking
forthe appointmentofa new Rapid Transit Comruis-
sion They represented to the Mayor the great need
OF rapid transit communication in the annexed dis
trict at as carly a date possible They said the
work of the old commissioners was practically at
nm end inasmuch as the Board OF Aldermen had
refused to confirm theirTeport. IN order that there
might be no delay IN building the roads, they
Thought the easiest method would be to appoint
new commission. II any work should he done on
the strength OF the report of the present commits
gioners il ght lead long litigation some time III
tie future. Capitalists would be dislnclDed TO
lend money to an enterprise that was not started In
en- uuexcepuonable manner. IN regard 10 the old
commissioners, the committee thought they should
be asked To resign. In that case the residents OF
the annexed district would see that their expenses
were maid. The committee also expressed their in
tention of visiting the old commissioners foT the
purpose Of securing their resiCnGtiOns The Mayor
took the petition, and said that lie wanted to think
over it before acting. He thought the matter was
mixed enough without getting II into any greater
confusion.
