WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator Brce
held a three-hours' conference with the
Attorney General to-day, discussing the
affairs of the Union Pacific Railroad and
trying to devise means for protecting the
Government interests i'll that road. Brice
said after the conclusion of the conference
that the Governments debt against the

have to pay for it. 1t is understood the
Attorney-General is taking steps to have
receivers recently appointed by the
United States Court at Omaha removed,
and that proceedings to this end would
probably be initiated within the week.
The resolution of Senator Manderson,
amended at the Instance of Brice, which
the Senate adopted a few days since.
seemed to assume the court had no right
to appoint receivers, and it is probable
the Attorney General will take this posi-
ton. Brice says he is engaged in formu-
lating measure in accordance with the
bills and the resolutions referred to this
committee for protection of the Govern
ment interests.

assembled nations.
The great audience some Of whom had
come from far distant States to assist at
the rejoicings over the successful ending
of the great exhibition, filling every seat
and occupying every foot of standing
room, was hushed.
President Palmer of the National Com
mission presided.
Rev. Dir. Burrows delivered a prayer
and read an address prepared by Presi-
dent Higlnbotham of the Fair Directory
previous to the Mayors taking off. This
was thought best, because it was so con-
sonant with the spirit of the meeting.
After Mr.. Higinbotham's speech, ap-

his memory tribute of respect and ad-
miration were adopted. Engrossed cop

in view of the sad circumstances which
brought the assemblage together the
closing OF the fair would be marked only
by a salute of cannon and the hauling
down OF the flags. When that took place
he declared, in obedience to the Act of
Congress, the exposition was officially
closed.

HEALDsBURG, Oct. $50 far there has
been no material developments in the
Treasury robbery case. The latest comes
from Dry Greek, about seven miles from
town, where some one was reported to
have told of the robbery at six o'clock,
a. NJ. three hours before it was known
in this city, but so far the clue has fur
nished nothing that would lead 10 the ar
rest ofthe offenders. it has become the
settled conviction of many that the rob-
berry was the work Of an organized gang,
duplicating some prominent citizens of
the county. and that should the perpe-
traitors be apprehended, some startling
and sensational developments may he
looked for. Mulligan IS out, and is lend
ing all the aid in his power to assist the
authorities in their ondeayors to find the

Totheron wished Coleman to make. and
which would accord with the defense
which Totheron intended to set up before

Coleman was in Totheron's company at
