ATCHIsoN REoRaANIzATION.
English Bondholders Much Displesse
IVAN, A..


English BondhoIders Much Displessed
With the Plan.
New YORK, June 22.--The Evening
Posts London cable says:
The chairman of the London Atchison
bondholders' committee has resigned,
ewing to the nature of the reorgsniza-
tion scheme. The published details oil
the scheme equal the worst anticipa-
tions, but it may pass, though fears oil
foreclosure by the per cent stockhold-
ers is felt. The whole Atchison bust
ness, frst to last, thoroughly disgusts
the English bondholders.
The stock markets were dull and
Americans fiat, lead by Atchison, but
the close was above the worst.
LONDON, June 22.-The Atchisou bond
holders committee announces, as the
proposed reorganization plan is the best
attainable, though not altogether salts
factory, it has decided to submit it to
an early meeting of the bondholders.
Mr.. Herring, late chairman of the COM
mittee, will propose an amendment to
the plan, which he declares is quite un.
satisfactory.
CHICAGO, June 22.-Somer Hayes,
chairman of the reorganization commit
tee of the Atchison road. is in Chicago
today. Speaking of the plan of the re-
organization. he said it was mistake
to suppose the stockholders would be
deprived OF their right In unta 49,
oral questions submitted.
1.-The depositing of their stock with q
trust company" he said, sis mere
matter of convenience to provide way
by which the jne0mee hp s6s hnaa,na thsy
derive no income from the securities.
The laws OF this company provide that
only stockholders shall have voice in
the company, but by agreement we have
arranged to allow the income bondhold-
ers the came privilege When any
question is to be voted on there will be
a preliminary meeting OF both stock
holders and bondhoders, something
like primary meeting at elections. At
this meeting stockholders will cast an
informal vote, the result OF which will
be placed in the hands OF the trustee of
the stock, and he will cast the formal
vote in conformity Herewith"
Mr.. Haynes appeared to have little
doubt that the plan of reorganization
would be success.

Mr.. CLEVELAND, in his later nomina-
tons in this state, is giving a Great deal
of pleasure to Democrats. This is nota-
bly, the case with the appointments OF
Hon. Frank MacCoppin to the post
Office of San Francisco, ex-Controller
John P. Dunn to the registership OF the
land Office and Gen. Walsh as pension
agent. Mr.. MacCoppin is one of the
most distinguished Democrats in Cali
fornis and one of the most distingue
looking gentlemen in the United States.
In addition, he ia noted for a splendid
vigor OF intellect and for executive abili-
ties OF the highest order. Mr.. Dunn
has earned notable reputation for in
tegrity and ability during two terms as
state controller. No man who ever
held public Office in this state has
emerged from it with a higher standing
before the community. The record Of
Gen. Walsh is exceptionally good, his
party services being of the highest
order. Democrats, in the face of such
nominations. are Inclined to feel some-
what encouraged. 1t is a great pity
that Mr.. Cleveland's earlier policy with
respect to this state did not have the
wholesome cast that has signalized il
lately.
