Proposition OF IA New Chicago Eievato,
Syndicate.
CHICAGO, Sune 9.-The elevator con,
troversy on change is assuming an
aspect which bodies no good to the rich
warehousemen. Now IL is rich men
against rich men. Millionaires are
coming to the rescue of the rank and
file Of the board. A syndicate Of
wealthy people, who own valuable pat
ents for grain elevators, will make at
the next regular board of trade direc-
tors meeting next Tuesday afternoon,
n proposition to supply all the
storage room needed to take care Of tho
grain Of Chicago. They are prepared
TO step into the shoes which tho
present elevator men say they will
never wear again, on account of the
peas put into them by the recently
adopted resolution of the board OF
trade regarding the conduct of their
business. The syndicate, which is pre-
pared TO do the elevator business of the
port in place of Armour, Wearc. Coun-
selman and the rest, Is prepared to
build within three months structures
with steel bins, having a storage
capacity Of 10, 600. 900 bushels, and in.
crease the capacity to 80, 00o, 900 bush
els as soon thereafter as required.
Those steel bins nre n feature of the
patent owned by the syndicate propos-
ing to build the grain stores. Tho
projectors will bind themselves &c
do what the present elevator
men refuse to do. They
will confine themselves to the storage
business and will neither directly nor
indirectly engage in the buying or sell.
ing of grain. They profess to be salts
fed that at half the present rate OF
storage they can pay handsome divi.
dends on the expenditures. They do
not ask "a dollar Of Chicago capital for
their enterprise, and already own sufii-
cient land In South Chicago, around
where the last new Counselman eleva-
tor vas built, TO furnish sites for their
houses. All they will ask of the board
of trade is a guarantee that while they
provide all the storage required and act
mp to their other undertakings they
shall have a monopoly for a period of
from five to ten years Of issuing certifi.
Gates. which shall be regular for deliv.
cry on board of trade contracts.

New YORK, June 9.-Racing Mt

by electricity, Is one Of the probabili.
lies of the future hore. The Brighton
Beach Racing association is consider
ing this scheme, and 1t is probable that
The matter may be taken up seriously.
In this event a series of eleven or
.welve races would be given each day.
Six of these would be given in the aft
rrnoon and the same number at night,
with nm intermission Of a couple of
hours. Raccgoers could then return to
the city or perhaps the association
would put up u lot Of hunks where one
could turn in, SO as TO be up bright
md early to watch the work of the
horses in the morning.

scheme is certainly feasible.

the light we would need. Fields would
have to be limited, Of course. The

New YORK, June s.-Mr. A. A. n.
Roissevain, the representative Of the
Dutch security holders of the Union
Pacific Railway company and an active
member of the reorganization commit
teI, sailed for Europe Thursday to con-
fer with the Amsterdam committee.
Mr., Boissevain said that the Ameri-
can committee had reached the con-
clusion that any plan of reorganization
which might be adopted must be based
upon n read justment of the company's
indebtedness to tho United States.
This necessarily implied, he said, that
the United States would have to make
concessions The debt to the United
states with interest amounts 10 about
$40, 900, 600, and this debt, together
with that owing on the prior first mort
gage bonds, amounting in all TO about
$50, 900, 300, will mature at several dates
before the year 1890, and must, neces-
Sarily, be provided for In any reorgan-
ization.

and submitted TO congress a bill provid-
ing for q settlement by the delivery
20 the United States of l00-year bonds,
bearing interest at ? per cent, and such
bonds TO be secured by a mortgage on
he main line and Kansas Pacific divi-
sion of the Union Pacific Railway COM
oany. including the Omaha bridge and
terminals, and n sinking fund to be
provided for the redemption of the en-
lre Issue within 100 years by annual
payments after the year 1905.
This would create a charge of 81, 400,-
100 per annum for interest until 1905.
De 81, $50, 900 for interest and sinking
fund combined.
The securities now held by the United
States In the sinking fund under tho
Thurman act, it Is provided, shall be
applied TO the redemption of underlying
hrst mortgage bonds, amounting to
about SEQ, 900, 900, to be extended or re-
newed at a rate Of interest not exceed
ing 8 per cent, q sinking fund being
provided for the redemption of these
bonds.
Mr.. Boisseva;n said he had some hope
that congress would pass this bill. IL
II did the Union Pacific creditors would
be given general mortgage bonds bear

tire system, subject to the lien of the
United States, and in order TO take up
outstanding obligations an assessment
would he levied and n new block Of
