CAPTAIN SEAvEY processes to hold
in profound contempt everything that
ia published about the police or the
conduct OF police officers. He appears
to delight in insulting reporters and
treating them with discourtesy. This

know how to treat citizens politely, he

ANOTHER BIG FOKGEH.
A New York Street Car President In .
FelOn's Cetl

NEW YORK, August s.-lSpecial Telegram
to The BEE. l-Eben Allen, president Of the
Forty-second and Grand Street Ferry rail-
road company, who was arrested W Wednesday
afternoon, Is in common felon's cell with
the ugly charge confronting him of having
forged the signature of former president
and treasurer of the COMPANY to certificates
for stock and with having hypothecated
these and converted the proceeds TO his own
use. His fraudulent transactions certainly
amount to over SAC, 900 at the market value
of the stock, and they may reach $225, 600.
The story of Aliens operations is another of
those oft-recurring illustrations of tho almost
reckless confidence in humanity with which
large financial transactions are conducted.
Allen was taken to the Tombs police court
this morning and after some delay was held
in SlO0, 600 bonds, in default Of which he was
locked up. Allen admits of issuing 200
shares of stock and getting the benefit Of 1t,
but denied the forging Of the signatures OF
John Green and Charles Curtis, former
presidents of the road. When the
charge of over-issne of stock was
read to Allen, he replied he was guilty OF the
charge, hut denied he had committed forgery.
Allen states that his partner IN the iron COM
pany, Ferdinand Koefele, was in no way con-
nected with the guilty transactions

THE call issued by Chairman Walker
for o meeting OF the Interstate Com
merce Hallway association next
week is significant Of trouble ahead.
We pointed out some days ago that the
railroad situation had critical aspect,
and the development OF q serious phase
has not come sooner than was expected.
The unquestionablo fact is that there is
a great deal OF discomfort with the ex-
listing conditions, and those roads which
feel that they are not getting fair show
under the prevailing arrangements are
determined to find way to place
themselves In more favorable po-
sition. 1t has taken great effort to
curb the tendency OF the managers Of
such roads to proceed to radical meas
ures, and every day weakens the force
OF such effort. For this situation Of af-
fairs the Chicago & Alton 10 very
largely, II not wholly, responsible. That
company appears disposed to aggravate
the difficulties and increase the COM
plications regardless OF consequences.
AS its policy and conduct are no longer
subject to the jurisdiction of the rail
way association, 1t is only aues-
tion OF time when other roads will with
draw and take their chances in rate
war.

WYoMI MINGs CONVENTION.

A convention to frame state consti-
tuition for Wyoming will meet at Chey-
enne on the first Monday in September.
At the election of last year for delegate
in congress the vote In Wyoming was
In round figures eighteen thousand,
which, by the ordinary rule OF computa-
tion, gave the territory population at
that time OF ninety thousand. The num-
ber at PRESENT. is doubtless not less than
one hundred thousand. The territory
contains an area OF about ninety
eight thousand square miles, about
equal TO that of New York, Ohio,
New Jersey and Deleware COM
bined. The resources are great
and very diversified. The grazing fields
are said to be unsurpassed on the conti-
nent. There 10 an abundant supply OF
timber. The coal area Of the territory
covers moro than nineteen million
acres. 1t Is believed that the oil fields
are not equalled elsewhere In the coun-
try. The iron deposit is described in
report OF the senate committee on terri
tories as truly wonderful. There are
soda deposits covering hundreds OF
acres, and said to be the most
extensive discovered on the con-
tinent. Gold, silver and copper
mines are found in the territory. Mar
BILE, granite and sandstone OF excellent
qualities for building purposes are
abundant. In word, so far as natural
resources are concerned. Wyoming is
most richly supplied, and with the
means OF development provided her
growth IN material prosperity and in
population could not fail to be rapid.
For the purpose Of agricultural devel-
opmsnt Wyoming will require an ex-
tensive system of irrigation, hut this
will not he SO difficult to provide as in
some other arid sections. 1t is esti-
mated that from tan to twelve
million acres of the arid lands OF the
territory may be reclaimed with the
water found in the streams In the terri
tory. The soil Is fertile, aud wherever
irrigated becomes exceptionally pro-
ductive. There is no doubt that agri-
culture can be successfully prosecuted
with an adequate system of irrigation,
but the wealth of the territory will be
derived from its great mineral re-
sources. The people OF Wyoming are
anxious for statehood, and they
will urge their claim TO con-
sideration upon the next congress

A Maine Girl Who Gives Her Parents
Lots of Trouble.

A Maine Girl who Gives Her Parents
Lots OF Trouble.
BANGOR, Me-, August S-[Special Tele-
gram 70 The BRE. The escapades Of Maud
Abbott, who attempted suicide few weeks
ago because her parents insisted upon her
marrying man Of their selection, have
been varied. AS II Maud had not succeeded
in demonstrating yesterday that she was SO
much In love with her Bangor fascinator
Sprague, that she could not live witho ut
him, she started in again in the early hours
this morning to further demonstrate this
fact. The Bucksport train left that point
for Bangor at o'clock, ana before IL terted
the men on board were surprised to see a
girl fairly flying down the street. bare
headed and with her hair sailing straight
out on the breeze. Her dress was covered
with mud, and she appeared to be wildly ex-
cited. 1t was Maud Abbott, and she had
run two miles from her home in Verona,
having escaped from her people, by
whom she was carried home yesterday.
She ran directly for the train and after re-
marking to the fireman that she intended to
ride TO Bangor with them, she jumped upon
the cow-catcher of the acconunodation. She
meant to ride thus to Bangor. The locomo-
, tive had already commenced moving when
the trainmen saw Mr.. Abbott himself COM
ing up in hot pursuit crying "Stop that train
and give me my daughter" Tho old man
had run the whole distance and was breath
less and only about half dressed. The girl
discovered her father about this time.
Quickly jumping from the engine she started
for the head of the wharf, but her father
caught her in time TO save her from second
attempt at suicide. AS the train had left she
permitted herself TO be conducted back to
team which was in waiting to carry her
home again. When asked to get in she
said laughingly TO the driver, "No. II you
get out will drive the horse myself.n

THE mishap in Newport harbor to
the bran new cruiser Boston, which

naval regulation forbidding ships OF
war to take on q pilot in United States

commanders Of our navy are unfamiliar
with the sunken rocks and currents in

THE success of the Sioux commission
in it's negotiations for the opening OF
eleven millions Of virgin soil can not
fail to be Of inestimable benefit to Ne
braska. There will be added to the
area OF the state an irregular strip just
north of the NiObrara and Keya Paha
rivers comprising five hundred thous-
and acres of good farming and stock
raising land within the counties OF
Holt, Knox and Keya Paha. The OPEN
ing to settlement, however, of the
great reserve In Dakota Is OF prime inn
portance. Within o very few years
the vast tract will be peopled with a
farming population and dotted with
thriving towns which will be largel y
dependent upon the cities OF Nebra ska
for markets in the interchange Of com
modities. The people of Niobrara
have therefore good reasons to feel
jubilant over tho prospects before
them. oThe situation of that city at the
juncture OF the Niobrara with the Mis-
souri, rivers, together with its railroad
connection through Dakota, makes it at
once the gateway into the new lands.
The long looked for extension of the
Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley
railroad from Verdigris into that city,
distance OF less than twenty-five miles
under the circumstances can not be de-
layed much longer. This would place
Omaha in direct line with Southern
Dakota and the Sioux reservation, and
give the merchants of this city the key
TO the trade OF the northwest.

NEBRASKA cIrY,s COMPLAINT

NEBRASKA CITY'S COMPLAINT
The Nebraska City Neaos charges the
Omaha dailies with treachery and con-
spiracy in their anxiety to injure Me-
braska City and its hog packing inter-
est. According to our amiable con-
temporary down the river, the Omaha
papers have an agreement to suppress
from the Associated press reports any
reference 10 Nebraska City's packing
house records.
The truth of the matter is that the
Associated press does not send to Omaha
or any other town the weekly re-
ports of pork packing that are made
up for the Cincinnati Price Current.
These reports are wired from Ciucin-
natl exclusively to THE BEE for this
section, and like the bulk of the So
called special dispatches that appear in
other Omaha dailies, are stolen bodily
from the telegraphic columns of THE
BEE.
Under the circumstances it is absurd
to talk about conspiracy or compact
to injure Nebraska City. If anybody
is to blame for emitting the Nebraska
City figures from his kilograms to THE
BEE it is the reporter in Cincinnati.
We pay for all these dispatches and
certainly would have no design in sup
pressing news We pay for. The proof
OF this is that THE BEE has published
the Nebraska City packing record for
last week. Previous to that Nebraska
City's quotation had been included
under the general heading Of ''all
others" which means all packing points
that are not enumerated specifically.
Without consulting any of the parties
to the alleged conspiracy we feel quite
sure that the Omaha dailies will quote
the figures for Nebraska City whenever
they are wired TO The BEE. The scis-
sors conspirator does not discriminate.
