Application For a Receiver For the
Sioux City and Northern.

Application For a Receiver For the
Sioux City and Northern.
Sioux CITY, Ia, Oct. 6.-The appli-
cation for a receiver for the Sioux City
and Nor thern road came up in the
United States court here. Mr.. Coombs
in his argument openly charged that
Kennedy, Todd & Co. and j. j. Hills
interests had conspired to wreck the
company and throw the property to
the Great Northern. He stated that
$40. coo of interest came due on the
81, 500. OOO loan of Kennedy, Todd &
Co., July 10; that he secured an extern
sion of time to Sept. rs and then ten
dered the interest, but that Todd re-
fused to take it and informed him that
he was stakeholder and director in
Hills road, the Great Northern. and
that the Great Northern had $500, 900
of the loan. M. G.. Stoddart of the
Third National bank, St. Louis, secre-
tary of the creditors organization, and
who represents 100000 of the claims
against the company held in st. Louis.
substantiated what Mr.. Coombs said
that the creditors said they thought it
best to have a receiver. The petition
was taken under advisement by the
court.

SPAIN is ACTIVE.
Troops Sent to Morocco to Punish
the Natives

troops sent 10 morocco TO Fun1Sh
the Natives.
MADRID, Oct. 5.-Not within recent
years has public sentiment been so
thoroughly aroused as it has been by
the attack of the Moors upon the Span
ish garrison at Melilla on the northern
coast Of Morocco. The government has
taken prompt and energetic measures
to punish the Riff tribes who attacked
the Spaniards. dispatching with all pos
sible speed after the receipt of the news
of the battle gunboat to bonn bard the
Rifian strongholds and special steam
or with battery of artillery to rein
force the Melilla garrison. The Span
ish naval stations were buster
than they had been in years. At the
military headquarters. too, there was
an air of suppressed excitement and
orderlies were dispatched frequently to
the barracks conveying instructions to
certain regiments to hold themselves in
readiness to proceed Immediately to
Melilla. But, notwithstanding all
these preparations, the people are dis
satisfied. The populace do not seem to
understand that some time is necessary
to prepare the troops for foreign serv-
ice. They are bitterly angry at the
Moors, and all the pride of race, which
has distinguished the Spanish nation
for centuries, unreasonably demands
that summary vengeance be wreaked
upon the barbarians who have dared to
insult the yellow and red flag of Spain.

May Be DELAYED.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 5.-The vote of
the employees on the Denver and Rio
Grande road relative to the proposition
to accept cut of 10 per cent until Jan
uary next, which was at first expected
to be canvassed on Friday, may be de-
layed several days. The engineers and
6remen on the mountain divisions op-
pose bitterly any cut for any time. 1t
is generally understood that the con-
auctors and trainmen are voting for
the proposition. The engineers are
afraid that their full pay will not be
forthcoming on Jan. 1, and they do not
want to make the decision until they
know neither they are to have their
pay permanently reduced or not.

hour set for the reconvening of the
body, which was . o'clock. They
dropped into the hall in twos and threes,
but they came very slowly and it was
nearly 10 o'clock before there were
enough of them on hand to warrant
Governor Lewelling in resuming busi-
ness. The programme for the days
proceedings was announced as Discus
sion," and almost all the bimetallists
came prepared to make a speech. In
deed. to discuss the great problems
which the league desires to clear up, is
the principal work of the convention.

the forenoon. Governor Lewelling,
upon calling the delegates to order,
read large number OF letters from
prominent bimetallists who were I'M
able to attend. Each of the writer's
expressed his regret in his inability to
attend, and then went into an argu-
ment, more or less lengthy, setting
forth the reasons why there should be
two money metals and why the South
and West should unite for their COM

resolution was offered by Mr.. Nor
gan (Dem., Ala.) which went over, in
structing the judiciary committee to
consider and report what provisions of
the law of 1887 (the free coinage act)
are still in force.
The silver purchase repeal bill was
taken up at 1880, and Mr.. Butler
Oem., S. CO. addressed the senate
against it. He replied to Mr.. Palmer's
remarks of Tuesday, criticising the
senate for its action.
Mr.. Butler having spoken for nearly
two hours and becoming much fatigued.
yielded the floor without finishing his
speech. Mr.. Blackburn Dem., KY
then took the floor and made an argu-
ment against the repeal bill.

POINT TO A SETTLEMENT.

The Union Pacific May Remain in the
Western Passenger Association.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5.--Present indications
point to settlement of the Union Pa
cific's differences with the Western
Passenger association so that it will
not withdraw therefrom. It has con-
sented to suspend its notice of with
arawal from the association until Oct.
IL This was done to allow the associa-
ton to take up the matter on Oct. 10,
and remove, if it so desires, the Union
Paciic's objections to remaining. 1t is
thought settlement will be arrived at.
The general impression is that the
Union Pacific was hasty in its actions
and shouted before it was hit. Its con-
nections will see to it, agreement or no
agreement, that its interests are not al
lowed to suffer through the non-use of
rates rendered by it as basing rates.

sideration of all the facts, the commit
tee, it is understood, decided there was
no good reason why Mr.. Van Allen
should not be confirmed.

Kansas City Dealers Anticipate 9
Strike.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 5.-There is con-
siderable anxiety among Kansas City
coal operators over the prospect of a
long winter strike among the coal
miners of the Bevyr and Ardmore dis
tricts, in Macon county. The first in
timation of serious trouble came Sat-
urday afternoon when a dispatch was
received at the Kansas and Texas Coal
company's Office stating that the men
were "squaring up their rooms and
quitting work" The mines are idle
and the miners are at Ardmore, where
a mass meeting is being held to deter
mine what course they shall pursue.
There are between $500 and 5000
miners in the district.
The trouble grows out of an effort on
the part of the companies to reduce the
prices paid to the miners. Heretofore
there has been a summer price of 50
cents ton for mine run coal, and a
winter price of 60 cents, the winter
price goin 6 into effect Oct. and last

Captain OF the Milwaukee Lite Saw

MILWAUKEE, Oct. t.-P. A. Peterson
Of the Milwaukee life saving station is
again the subject of official investiga-
ton that may lead to his retirement
from the service. Some time since
Captain Peterson had a falling out
with Charles Nelson, who. held the po-
sition Of surfman No. /. and summary
dismissed him. Nelson promptly de.
manded an official inquiry and Lieuten-
ant Rogers made thorough investiga-
ton of Captain Peterson's management
OF the station. In making his report
to Washington, Lieutenant Rogers
approved the dismissal of Nelson
from the service, but it is evil
dent that he was not satisfied
with the conduct of Captain Peter
son, as the captain was formally noti-
he'd to hand in his resignation by Oct.~
!. Nelson, feeling dissatisfied with the
hndlng in his case, then wrote to
Washington for a further hearing.
Captain Abbey received orders to look
into the matter. Captain Abbey con-
cluded his investigation and left the
city on MOI day. Captain Peterson re-
mains on duty, the inference being that
the reopening of the case suspended the
order of dismissal temporarily and no
further action may be looked for until
after Captain Abbey's report has been
received in Washington and consid-
