LIVELY TINE LOOKED FOR.
Earrings Here to Attend the Atch-
ison Meeting Tomorrow.
Rumors OF n Rebate Overcharge Of
Over S7,OOO,OoO.

The Atchson meeting. which will be
held Tomorrow, Is attracting the atten-
ton of Wall street. and it Is likely to be
unusually lively on account of the pres
cnce of MIR. Thomas Barring. who. with
the Hon. Cecil Baring, arrived here
from London yesterday on the steam
ship Aurania.
This visit OF the Earrings Is an un-
expected move In the Atchison muddle,
and Is taken, by those opposed to the
Reinhart party, AS indicative that some
thing radically wrong has been dis
covered by Expert Little in his exami-
nation of the Atchison books.
About three weeks ago a statement,
purporting to emanate from Mr.. Little,
was made public, saying that an over
charge in. the rebate amount had been
discovered amounting to over S,WO.G0
This statement was no SOONER out than
II was denied, and claims made by the
Reinhart faction that Mr. Little did not
understand how certain items had been
charged
Mr.. Reinhart himself stated that so
far as he had seen Mr.. Little's report
1t was practically correct. but that he

opposed to Reinhart and claims to rep

ready TO take sensational action when
Mr.. Reinhart returns to the city to at
tend to-morrow's meeting. and generally
pretty lively time Is looked for.
When he landed from the steamer yes

books and the alleged deficiencies there

II know nothing of these things. i
have only heard of them. and have come
over to find out for myself There Is a
great deal Of English capital invested
In the Company, and intend to satisfy
myself thoroughly as to the real condi-

This afternoon Mr.. Barring was little
more communicative and said:

make any statement in regard to the
actual status of the affairs of the Atch-
ison system. So far as I can see every
thing now current Is Of a hearsay char
