Australian Lyrs Birds Being Ruthlcssly
ExtermInated.
Unless strict measures are taken in
the Immediate future, the native fauna
of Victoria, Australia, will soon be-
come extinct The reiterated CO n
plaint to the customs department is
that of ''wnnton destruction" Such
unique specimens as the pIatvpus and
the Tyre bird are already very rare,
and, if the present state of things
continues, their total disa .pearance
will be matter of but few years.
The police have frequently reported
the fact of Tyre birds having beon S hot
in the ranges, and also the sale of the
tails, bat, through inability to prove
the actual killing of the birds, they
have not succeeded in having often.
dsrs punished
The Royal naturalization society
has now addressed the minister of
trade and customs on the subject, and
points out that in one shop alone in
Melbourne twenty-five birds tails have
been displayed for sale at one time,
and that as the hens lay, as a rule,
only one egg each in the season, the
present rate of destruction must soon
extinguiSh the species.
1t In further mentioned that the
bird has an inveterate enemy in the
fox, and that sixteen tails were re-
Gently found near 4 fox's lair in the
ranges Protection should certainly
be afforded to the Tyre bird and the

communicative friends and whispered:

publican convention. was at the Wind
sor last night. There will be full con-
ference with the candidates of that con-
vention. aud the political accoutre-
ments of the party will be FURNISHED up

-stitute the state central committee,
The meeting will convene at Repub-
lican headquarters In the EndicOtt ar
cade at 10 O'clock this morning. Gov.
Rarto was seen by GLOBE reporter at
the Windsor last night. surrounded by
a. number of the candidates. He
thought that the session would con-
tinue from morning on through the
afternoon. He intimated that there
would be number of discordant ee-
ments TO harmonic. Aug. T. KOerner,
nominee for state treasurer, overhear-
ing this sentiment, said that Gov.

needed. Gov. Barto was asked as to

state central committee, but thought
best TO keep his own counsel. From
talks with various nominees, it was
conceded on all sides that Tams Bxby
would be unanimously chosen chair
man. Gov. Barto did not deny that
there might be quite a number OF
members of the old committee that
would not be reappointed. Iu fact, he
intimated that there were good many
new men who might be selected.

GOES To THE COURT.
This Morning the Wagener-Horst
Contest

The evidence will be concluded in the
Wagner-Horst contested election case
this morning and then Judge Kerr will
probably take some time to review the
voluminous evidence and decide the
case. The attorneys for Wagner assert
that it has been shown that their client
is entitled to the office. The attorneys
for the other side say they don't know
what the outcome will be until Judge
Kerr decides upon the alleged illegal
votes. The only new feature Of the ev-
idence yesterday was the showing that
Owen Sullivan was denied the right to
vote at the first precinct of the Third
ward upon the allegation that he was
not on time with his ballot. He was
given ballot and asserts it was offered
ten minutes before the time set by law
for the polls to close. He wanted to
vote the straight Democratic ticket.
The. Pennington Hare contest will be
taken up Monday by Judge Willis. The
ballots have been inspected in this case
by the referees aud number of them
referred to the court The referees
changed the plaurality of three in favor
OF Hare to one for Pennington.
The Meiady assembly contest will be
taken up by Judge Kerr in few days
and referees will be appointed to in
spect the ballots.

UNION PACIFIC ORDER.
FEDERAL COURT APPOINTS CORNISH
MASTER IN cHAhcERX.
ONE DEPENDENT Topped Off.

Other Branches OF the Union Pa
cific Left in Charge of the
Receivers Until the Master in
Chancery Can Ascertain and
Report the Earnings-Federal
Grand Jury Reports.
Judges Walter II. Sanborn and Elan
S. Dundy, who heard the petition of the
receivers of the Union Pacific road to
be released from contracts leasing GER
tain branch roads, havs made TWO or
ders in the matter. BY one order leave
is given the parties interested in branch
roads to file answers or intervening Pc
titlOns on or before Aug. 8. The re-
ceivers may reply by Aug 10. Hon.
William ID. Cornish was named mas
ter in chancery to take proof in the
matter at Omaha, beginning Aug. Is,
and report to the court by Oct. ID.
By the second order it is recited that
the receivers continue to operate the
Carbon cut off-railway and the Omaha
& Republican Valley railway as hereto
fore until the further order of court
They shall operate the Selma d. South
western railway, the Kansas City &
Omaha railroad, the Atchison, Colorado
& Pacific railroad, the AtchiSon, Jewell
County & Western railroad. and the
Kansas Central railroad until the hear
ing on Nov. 10.
The matters are referred to Hon. w.
d. Cornish, to hear and report deficien-
cies arising from operating the branch
roads, and to ascertain what modifica-
tons and adjustments may be made in
freight or passenger rates.
The physical condition of the Kansas
Central road is to be investigated by the
master, SO that its safe operation may
be provided for.
The DEFICIENCIES in the operations of
any of the roads shall stand AS obi
cations against the roads until the
further order OF court. The accounts of
the receivers of the Denver, Leadville
d Gunnison railway shall be invests
gated by the master to ascertain priority
of liens.
The hearings of the master will be
had at Omaha up 10 Oct. Is. Leave will
be given to except to findings OF the
master up to Nov. l. On Nov. Is the
court will hear the general matter in
st. Paul.
d The court deems it inexpedient for
the receivers of the Union Pacific sys-
TEN to longer operate the Denver, Lead
vile u GunniSon railway, as the ex-
penditures are far greater than the rev.
enue. The receivers are therefore de
rected to surrender all the property of
the Denver, Leadville 81 GunniSun road
10 the American Loan and Trust COM
panv. trustees of the mortgage of Aug.
l, 1889, and in case the trustee refuses
10 accept the road, then it is to be
turned over to the executive officers of
the road on Aug z.
AS to the Washington & Idaho rail-
road and the Oregon Railway Extension
company. of which E. Mcneil has been
lately appointed receiver, the ADJUST
ment of deficiencies arising from the
past operations of those roads is re-
served until the accounting of the re-
ceivers of the roads who had possession
prior to the appointment of Mr.. MeNeill

Large Attendance at the Summer
Institutes.


There are in progress in different
counties of the state fifty-one Institutes
and summer training schools. I'VE are
having most excellent reports from
these schools" SAID Superintendent of
Instruction Pendergast yesterday.
"The attendance is unprecedented-one
OF the schools reports an attendance OF
800; two or more, 200; anu the general
average shows that all the teachers OF
the state must be devoting their time to
these schools. The conductors and
county superintendent give the in
creased attendance as more than so per
cent greater than i'll former years, and
are all feeling the impetus of such EN-
couragement. This state of facts is as
high an encOmium as can DE bestowed
upon our state school system, and is eX-
ceedingly hopeful for the cause of edu-
cation among u.s."
