GOOD FOR UNION PACIFIC.
lt Makes Move Which Again Reunites
and Strengthens IL.
Bv Tho Assoc intcd Pres,


OMAHA, Aug. 30.--The appointment of
Union Pacific receivers for the Oregon
Short Line at Cheyenne has provoked
much comment among Western railroad
men, as IL practically united the Union
Pacific which was lately threat
ened with total segregation. Should
the road have broken away from the folds
as in the case of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company and the Union
Pacific, Denver a. Gulf Companies, 1t
would have seriously embarrassed the
main line, and earnings would have fallen
off in consequence. Had things been diff
ferent, the Burlington, Rio Grahde
and even the Rock Island might
have gone into the Sound country on a
traffic basis, but now the Union Pacific is
in position to fight the boycott, inaugu-
rated in 1892 against the road because it
demanded the long haul one way. This
appointment OF Judge Rynor OF Wyoming
closes the gateway in the interest OF the
Union Pacific and the road will continue
to enrich itself in consequence.
There was a time when il was seriously
thought the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
tion Company might absorb the Short
Line, in which event the whole railroad
situation of the West would undoubtedly
have undergone change.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.
The Mazzni Republican Club Elected
Officers Last Evening.

A very enthusiastic and we'll attended
meeting was held last night by the Maz-
zIni Republican Club in their commodious
quarters at ia Atwells avenue. The OBJ
ject was To elect officers for the ensuing
term of one year, and the following gentle
men were elected: Henry G. Salandri,
president; Frank T.. Ventroni,
ice-president A. Fattero Smith,
secretary; Louis Ferri, vice-secre-
tary; Vincenzo Storti, treasurer;

Nicola +. Tedschi, and Albert Bucci.
A resolution endorsing the Republican
party as the only one able to free the
country from its present predicament and
expressing mistaken faith in Protection
was unanimously approved. 1t was also
decided to continue the private school at
club headquarters. 1t has been a decided
success.
A resolution thanking THE NEWS for
the moral support it has given the Club
was enthusiastically passed.

aid of the city authorities and he commu-
nifty at large to help the officials OF the
Club in their efforts to maintain the in
stitution and render 1t a worthy organiza-
tion in every respect.

IN NO HURRY.
The City Council May Postpone the
Convention to Elect an Auditor.

There seems to be growing sentiment
among the members of the City Council
to defer the convention for the election
of city auditor, possibly until the in
auguration of the new city government in
January. There are many advocates of the
policy of civil service reform, and
there is a disposition TO recognize the
claims of Mr.. Magoon, the temporary in
cumbent, who has been identified with
the department for 13 years by affording
him an opportunity TO test his ability and
judgment in the conduct OF affairs.
There are several candidates for
the Office in addition TO those who
have been previously mentioned. Among
those who have been seeking to size Up
the situation are said to be Thomas Il.
Shedley and Fred w. Barney, while the
friends of Colonel Philip S. Chase have
been engaged in missionary work. 1t is not
thougot that the Mayor will convene the
Council in special session. and If in the
course of the next three or four months
the administration of the Office proves to
be satisfactory, it is thought that Mr..
Magoon will be elected.

CUBA IN DISTRESS.

BY The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Consul General
Williams at Havana, has transmitted to
the state department a report made by
the board OF planters upon the sugar in
dustry in Cuba, which will form the basis
OF statement to be laid before the Spanish
Cortez at the next session with view to
securing remedial legislation. The report
shows dresry picture of depression in
Cuba, stating that with very few excep-
tions the sugar works not only yield no
profits, but they do not meet expenses,
including interest. This unfortunate
condition is ascribed to three principal
causes:
The defective economical regime estab-
lished by the abolition of slavery without
compensation to the slave holders and
the great fall in the price of sugar. In ad-
dition to this, many imported articles
which are indispensable to the sugar
industry are burdened with duties of from
30 to 100 times their value. No previous
period in the history OF the Cuban sugar
works has been so disastrous as that be-
ginning in August, 1898.

A PUBLIC MARKET.
The Great Need OF One in This City
Near the Great Bridge.

In the distribution OF joint special COM
mittees of the City Council at the opening
Of the current municipal year, that to
consider the establishment of a public
market was dropped. The committe
of 1898 gave some attention to the
subject, having received a proposition
from well-known market man to erect
market building on Crawford street
bridge, near Market square, provided the
city would set apart the site rent free.
The committee would not recon-
mend the acceptance OF the offer,
and hence the petitioner was granted
leave to withdraw. There were
some citizens who advised utilizing the
old passenger station on Exchange place
for this purpose as soon as il was vacated,
but there was a big protest from the
Public Park Association and other
esthetically inclined inhabitants who
had studied the plans for pic
turesque lay out of the old cove
basin, giving an unobstructed vista
from Exchange place with the stately
Capitol in the. background. Those who
have occasion to do business in the
vicinity of the murky and redo
lent stream which bubbles slug
gishly between the Great and Craw-
ford bridges question whether
meats, vegetables and poultry would be
materially improved in freshness and
flavor il the market was stationed above.
Not until the improved sewerage system
is completed and manufacturers volun-
tariiy consent to treat their wastes, will
the establishment of market in that To-
cation commend itself to the citizens. And
such a healthful condition of affairs
is likely to be coincident with the dawn
ofthe millennium. Meantime the yeomen
hucksters will monopolize the sidewalks
and impede public travel in tine immediate
vicinity, and the Canal street produce
dealers will possess their souls in patience.

REDUCE CAPITAL.
Directors of the Third Ma
tionaI Bank Advise 1t.
Meeting Of Stockholders Called
The Action Is Purely Voluntary.

The stockholders OF the Third National
Wednesday, Oct. 10, at 10 o'clock, for.the
purpose of voting TO reduce It's capital
stock to 100000 "by writing of slow
and doubtful assets" A vote will also
be taken TO place to the surplus fund any
amounts which may be realized on such
assets. This bank was Incorporated in
May, 1864, and its capital stock is $4,000
the par value OF which is 800. The board
of directors, consisting of Oliver A. Wash
burn, Jr., William p. Chaplin, A. L..
Sayles, John Eddy, William III. Perry and
Edward IL. Mason, decided upon the issue
OF the proposition on the Goth inst. They
found that in common with similar insti-
tutions the value OF certain invest
ments in real estate had been affected
by the business depression which has pre-
vailed for year and half. They deter
mined upon the conservative course in
the reduction Of the capital, acting volun-
tarily without any notification from the
comptroller of the treasury that such a
step was necessary in view of any
impairment of their capital. In
fact the last return to the
bank examiner showed deposits OF s621,-
600 and a surplus of $4,000. The stock is
quoted in the local markets at from 90 to
81. The bank has passed its last two divi-
dends. The unanimous consent OF the
stockholders is necessary forsuch disposal
and the wise and conservative plan OF ad-
justment will doubtless commend itself
to their endorsement.

TROOPS SHOT DOWN.

SAN DEIGo, Cal, Aug. 30.-Details of
another ambuscade of Yaqui Indians on
Mexican troops, have been received. On
July 20, 40 men OF the 14th battalion were
ambuscaded in thickly wooded part Of
the road near Los Guasmas by party
of about a hundred Indians. AT the first
fire nine Federals dropped. Captain
Gomez, in command, rallied his men and
when the Indians attacked, the troops
furiously resisted, but were repulsed more
than once. The fight lasted more than
an hour and half, the Federas remain
ing in possession of the field. While
some OF the Indians were fighting,
the remainder stole the baggage
animals, money and as much OF the am
munitlon of the troops as they could carry
off. Two Indian women and six or eight
boys were among the combatants of the
Federals. Twelve men were killed. six
wounded, the wife of a sergeant killed
and little child of s and boy of 8 were
wounded slightly. Four Indians were
killed and q slightly wounded and taken
prisoners.

GREEN CAR PROBABILITIES.
Ten Years Before Emerald Hue Domi-
mates the Town.


What's all this CAB about green cars?
1t will be 10 years, at least, before the
street railway can get the uniform color
and it may never come.
Wise corporation sometimes change
their minds and keep ont OF the
fool class. At present there are six
cars decked with a faded hue OF the ever
lasting hills. Perhaps the corporation
liked the everlasting idea aud decided
upon this color. It's big jump toward
economy, anyway.
The much talked about Interstate rail-
road, il signs don't fail, will be in posses
sion of the TractionCompsny before long.
made to pay and be a great accommoda-
tion to the public along its length.
But to return to the green-car idea.
There are two of the to- be-genersl color
on the Prairie avenue line. two on the
Branch avenue route and one each on
Mount Pleasant and East Providence
lines. All the other cars, and there are
lots of them, continue TO be the most at
tractive in the world. They have been
painted to stay and it can be readily seen
it will be years before that body paint
will be valuless. Until il becomes so, the
cars will retain their present various
colors.
Should an accident or other happening
mar the present paint beyond restoration,
the car will be painted green, so that in
the lapse of time, say dozen years,
"green above the red " will be on the
Eimwood line. BY the way, there are 10
open cars on the Elmwood route without
ornamentation of any sort beyond big
number.
Patrons have to stop and read the signs
just as they do on the Olneyville line, and
this cry about uniform color mixing peo-
pie hasn't a real up-and-dow first class
excuse. The Olneyville is the most pat
ronized route in the whole system and
from the start the color was green.
What of it,? Well, there are Brook
street cars, Governor street cars, Turks
Head cars, and Hartford street cars all
green. Color doesn't count much in their
respect. Riders don't depend on the
Hope reservoir or Swan Point
cemetery. They simply read the signs
and get on the right car. When the
children grow up and the uniform color
system is in vogue they probably won't
get any more mixed up in the town than
their fathers and mothers over the Olney-
willie and way stations route at the present
time.
The thing to get worried over in this
town and the greatest menace and shame
to the whole city is the States sewer that
flows through the heart OF Providence.
Come down to Dyer and South Water
streets, lean over the iron railing and take
a look at il.
You'll say, "Horriblel" And the worG
will not include the disgrace OF so much
filth, dyeing the water deep, sioKening
looking red.
