Drowned-Other Items

New YORK, Nov 10.-Charles .F.nncis
Adams, president of the Union Pacific rail
way, has sent the following communication
to Sidney Dillon, explaining the
financial condition of the company:
During the three months of July to Sep
tember, inclusive, we received S1,005,00J "a
month net from Omaha BY net, ] mean
over and above Omaha drafts During Oc-
tober we received 81, 450, 900, and paid about
Sl5O0 on Omaha drafts, leaving US net
81, 100000 tOr the month Between now and
Jan. l expect to receive 200, 900, $780,
900 of which will lie necessary to pro-
VIDE for coupons and maturing obligations
which must lie paid off. But | am con-
tident that we will have in these two
months 81, 500 0o0 net to apply to the floating
debt l may overestimate in these figures,
but do not think | do The PuIlmaninotes
gwen Tor our share III the contract are re
ducei now to $l50,000 The company owes
Us about $4,000 Meanwhile our accounts
at Omaha are in better condition than they
have been for a long time. There are no ar
retrs of vouchers and auditor reports
everything Is well paid up The reduc
ton in the gross earnings the past
month was largely due to the fact of
the changed methods of keeping accounts.
Last year we credited ourselves with about
Sl70,O0 freight paid on coal used for our 10
comotives. OF course, we never received
this money, and it went into subsequent ex-
penses. This year the system of charges is
actual, and the apparent gross is decreased
in so much During September, therefore,
we practically received about SG0, 900 more
in money than last year. 1propose to come
| Oh to New York next week and take
hold Of the tieating debt. From this time
forward the plan is to reduce it steadily and
| by every means in our power until it is ex
| tinguished."

The Cholera in Paris.

PARIS, Nov. 10.--Only a few new cases of
cholera has been reported here during the
twelve hours ending at noon Saturday and
these were not of Virulent type. The
authorities are taking every possible pre-
caution against the scourge. The ad
ditiop to other sanitary regulations
now being enforced. The dust-bins,
which are every morning placed on the
streets, are provided with covers and disin-
fected by the concierges every night previous
to any of the refuse from the various
kitchens being thrown into them. The
dustmen who come around in the morning,
disinfect each dust bin after emptying its
contents into their cart. The appearance
of cholera here has caused great alarm
throughout Europe. The authorities
of Germany and Spain are about adopting
very extensive precautions to prevent the

AN ADDRESS OF WARNING

NEW l0RK, Nov. 9.-1he democratic
state committee today issued the follow
ing address of warning to the people of
the state:
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC STATE
COMMITTEE HOFFMAN HOUSE, New
YORK, Nov 8, 1SS4-We deem it our
duty to announce to the people of the
state that the republican managers have
within the past forty eight hours con
ceived new scheme for throwing again
into dispute the resultof the election in our
state. For several days after the election
they, in entire bad faith, claimed for the
republican candidates several states which
they knew they had not carried. In the
same bad faith, when every source of i'll
formation, including the Associated press,
has demonstrated that the vote of New
York has been given to the Cleveland
electors they still claim the state. No
fact of history is now better known than
that the results of the election as asccr-
tanned, declared and certified by the
election officers, and of public record
throughout the state, give New York to
the Cleveland electors by decisive plu-
rality. These public certified returns have
been sifted in the several counties by both
parties with the most conscientious care
during the last four days, until every pos>
sible doubt as to the result has been re-
moved Knowing this fact, they now pro
pose as a last desperate resort to make OF
the boards of country canvassers through,
out the state, where controlled by them,
so many returning boards after the pat
tern of those not long since used by them
in the southern states Wherever the
boards fail them judicial orders are to be
applied for. Thus relying upon partisan
ship of the boards in the first place, anC
judges of their own POLITICAL faith in the
second, they intend and expect to throw
again intosdispute the result of the cleo
aon and involve it in interminable litiga'
ton To this end printed papers hav,
been sent by them to their agents anC
representatives in every county in tht
state of New York, to be used with the
courts whenever an occasion can be man
ufactered OF the entire reliability of Ou
information as to this scheme there car
De no question.
We call upon the representatives of the
party in the various counties in this state
to be alert and by every proper method
to resist and defeat this last desperate
device.
Mindful of the grave consequences I,
the business interests of our state, whicl
such conspiracy necessarily involves
we deem it our duty to assure our people
who havenow generally acquiesced in th
result, that they may confidently rely tina
by no such scheme or device will tn
state be deprived of the result of its de
liberate choice. 1t may disturb and pro
tract the determination; it will not chang
the result. W. E. SMITH.
