of the Arkansas companies that will drill for
prizes this afternoon.
delegation of 1000 came over from
Little Rock this morning to cheer their local
soldiers This reinforcement, with an agree
able change in the weather, promises to swell
the crowd of spectators at the camp to fully
5000. The attraction this morning was an
| exhibition drill by troops e and X, Third
United States cavalry. All the troops then
exercised for an hour and the forenoon closed
| with the usual concert by the Iowa State
| band.
Lieutenant General schofeld will arrive
Saturday morning and will review the troops
| In the afternoon. He remains until Tuesday
| when the prizes will be awarded.
| The large crowd of Arkansas people at
| Montgomery park this afternoon was not
! disappointed in the work Of the two Little
| Rock companies. The Mccarthy Light
] Guards were at a slight disadvantage in
being the first company to drill in class A.
| The Chickasaws, Fencibles and Seelys all
watched the program in this drill, and, while
it is not a difficult one, they will undoubtedly
be able to profit by their observations. The
McCarthys did very creditable work.
The feature Of the afternoon was the drill

BoNDHoLDBRs GET THE WORST OF II
Milwaukee Street Car Company TO He
Place d In n Receivers Hands.

MILWAUKEE,, May l5.-Advices from New
York state that application will be made in
the United States court in this city tomor-
row for a receiver for the Milwaukee street
railway properties. The company has de-
faulted on three sets Of coupons, but II was
hoped that 1t would be able to meet the June
obligation. Such will not be the case, how
ever. Two receivers will probably be ap-
pointed, one in New York and one in this
city
1t is understood that the North American
company and other large bondholders have
agreed upon plan of reorganization OF the
Milwaukee property. Director Pfister said
this evening: I'VE out here know nothing
definite in regard to the matter. Mr.. Payne
went east to confer with the eastern bondhold-
ers as to whether interest on the bonds should
be passed this June again or not. There was
but one alternative. Either the coupons must
be paid June l or the road go into the hands
of receivers. SO far we have heard nothing
officially as the result OF Mr.. Payne's trip.
This looks as If they had decided that 1t was
best to make application for receiver.
1--WE have a good property and II it is put
on a cash basis there Is no doubt that 1t Will
pay At present II Is one of these Willard
affairs and the poor bondholders have to suf-
fer the results of his financiering. The prop
erty will doubtless be entirely reorganized
and its bonded Indebtedness cut down. The
bondholders will take the matter into their
own hands and look after the property.
"Of the 10000, 900 or more OF bonds the
North American company owns about IS 100-
900. The Deutsche bank Of Berlin, Germany,
holds about s., 900 900 and the rest is dis
tributed in small lots here and in the east.
Before the board of review last summer Mr..
Payne, who was contesting the assessment
of the company, made affidavit that the com
pany's property carried a mortgage bonded
Indebtedness as follows: Underlying bonds,
81, 500 900; first mortgage bonds, $4,000, 900;
second mortgage bonds. 81 ,300,0 900; making a
total bonded Indebtedness Of $12,S00 900, At
the same time the capital stock Of the cor
poration was placed at $1,0O0,000 At the
same time it was stated S6,095,000 was paid
for the lines and that the reconstruction into
electric lines cost $l,260,000"

WESTERN FEDERATION OF MINERS.
Labor Organization that Has Got the Nor
aud Got the Money Too.

DENVER, May 15.-The most important
work accomplished in many years in the
interest Of organized labor has been consum-
mated by the convention of the western feder-
alton of miners The coal miners unions
representing thousands of men in several
western and northwestern states) were ad-
mitted to membership in the federation. The
step was made without any extended discus
sion and the proposition TO admit carried by
a heavy majority.
The result of this action will be that the
federation, which now has over 900 mem
bership, will be greatly increased in num-
bers and financial standing The trouble in
Cripple Creek last year was a serious drain
on the order but still 1t Is said that the or
ganiZaton has a surplus of over 100000.
The federation was organized on the basis
that every miner in the west could be a
member, and 1t was never intended that its
membership should be confined to metalifer-
| Gus miners.
In the new arrangement all the states and
territories as far east as Kansas and all
| north and south and west Of Colorado will
| be included under one head.
