DECKS CLEARED.
Complications Are Reduced by
the Suit at st. Louis.
WHAT THE BEE PUBLISHES

The Foreclosure Of the Union Pacific
Thought to be Necessary PreIim-
mary to Reorganization Suit Also
Instituted In the State of Nebraska.
OMAHA, Neb., January 25.-The Bee
to-day says: There is food of un-
written history connected with the re-
cent foreclosure suit brought by the
trustees of the first mortgage bonds of
the Union Pacific in st. Louis last week.
AS early as last July Judge Sanborn in
timated to the trustees Of the first mort
gage bonds that an action in foreclosure
would have to be brought in order to
keep the stockholders interest in the
property subject to the direction of the
court; otherwise the court might decide
to transfer the direction of the property
back to the directors of the company.
There are so many contracts, which, in the
present depressed condition Of business,
operate again st the advancement OF the
Union Pacific: system that it has be-
come essential ly necessary to have these
contracts amer lded or revised along lines
favorable to on of the parties at least
to the contract. This could not be done
without foreclosure, and in order to
clear the decks for reorganization it was
decided to bring suit in foreclosure,
which would have been necessary under
any circumstances if q readjustment OF
present difficulties was at all desirable.
As these suits in foreclosure are
brought upon various lines, and the
present receivers are ap pointed under
the bills of the complaints, the old suits.
brought by the stockholders begin to
grow less burdensome and finally the
receivers under the new suits cease to
have any interest in the old cases, and
they are removed from court, SO to speak.
Until the foreclosure suits the earnings
are kept separate, the court directs what
use is to be made of certain funds and
gradually the end approaches when the
property is to be offered for sale. So
the grind OF the court reduces the many
complications until the final run is
made, when the property is in position
to be taken for its actual value In reor-
ganiZation. 1t is pretty gener ally un-
derstood that all the foreclosure proceed
ings brought on the various properties
formerly continuing the Union Pacific
system will be pushed rapidly to final
in order that the reorgan-
ization committee may have something
to work upon in reorganizing what was
once the greatest railroad property in
the country.
SUIT BEGUN AT LINCOLN.
LINCOLN. Neb., January 25.-Proceed-
ings in foreclosure against the Union Pa
cific railway similar to that instituted
at st. Louis were begun yesterday in the
Federal Court before Judge Dundy by
F. G. Dexter and Oliver Ames, trustees
of the mortgage bondholders. The
plaintiffs set up that the company de-
faulted on the interest of July l, 1894,
and continued in default until Novem-
Der q, when the receivers offered to pay
the defaulted interest at the face of the
coupons, but not the accrued interest.
Plaintiffs relate the appointment of the
receivers October Is, 1898, by Judge
Dundy, and allege that therefore all
of the railway is in the hands
Of the court.

DEPEND UPON CHARITY.

GREELY CENTER, Neb., January 23.-
The distress in this part of the State is
appalling. No picture of the suffering
has been overdrawn, and great many
sad cases have been suppressed. Thus
far stock has lived by pasturing on dry
grass, and there has been but little cold
weather and no snow. Hundreds of fam
lilies have nothing to eat and no fuel,
and children are so nearly naked that
they are kept from school. At least one
fifth of the people of this county have
become county charges, which has de-
pleted the county treasury and depreci-
ated county paper until it is not worth
more than half its face value, and is still
going down. 1t is impossible for the
people to care for the destitute, and un-
less large amount of outside assistance
is received at once some of the worthy
farmers and their families will perish.
The people are most in need OF clothing
and anything in that line cannot fail to
alleviate the suffering. Some of the best
farmers, whose lands are unincumbered,
are as destitute as the tenants, because
they cannot realize on any kind OF Sc
curities. A great many of the floating
population left the State last fall, and
all who are here are actual residents,
most of them owning their homes. All
the hogs and salable cattle have been
sold and shipped away, and the people
have only to depend upon charity, and
il that fails it is certain death.

The welsh Afraid.

LONDON, January 25.-The Chamber
of Commerce in Swansea was addressed
to-day by Sir John Jenkins, Chairman
of the Harbor Trust. He said that the
Welsh tinplate industry was threatened
with severe competition from America,
where tinplates would be manufactured
more extensively in the future. The de-
cline being entirely in the shipments to
America, he believed that other markets
might be opened to make good the loss.
Already more shipments were sent to
Russia than were sent to the whole
world forty years ago.

none of the moving parts is subjected

In France the gun has been fired
rapidly for three hours. during which
time 100, 000 cartridges were discharged,
without any inconvenience because of
expanded parts.
The total weight of a gun that will
fire 80 caliber cartridges is 20 pounds.
It can be mounted on any type of naval
or military carriage or ON a tripod like
that shown i'll the cut for use by caval-
~. It can also be attached to a ships
rail or mounted in the tops of armored
masts. One man can handle it readily,
but the services of another would be re-
CURED to supply ammunition. Inas-
much as 500 shots a minute means
SO, coo an hour, the cartridge passer
would naturally be kept reasonably
busy during any extended time of con-
tinuOps rapid firing. The mechanism of
the piece is extremely simple Exclu-
sive of the sights, but including barrel,
shoulder piece, ETC., there are only SO
separate parts and only four springs
the main spring, the scar spring, the ex-
tractor and the pawl spring. All the
parts are made to fit together Withoat
the use of screws, and no tools are neces-
sary to completely dismount or to as
Bem5le the gun excepting a small mon
key wrench
The most novel element of the gun is
its automatic feature. Beneath and par
allel TO the barrel is a cylinder, which
is the largest part of the mechanism.

small port or hole through the lower
side of the barrel. At the rear end of
the cylinder is an exhaust port opening
20 the air. When the gun is fred, as the
bullet passes the forward port, the gas
Of the exploded powder passes from the
barrel INTO the cylinder and quickly
forces a long piston of small diameter
toward the rear with extreme rapidity
and force. As the piston rushes back
ward it comes in contact with mechan-
ism which throws out the empty shell,
places a new one in the bore and dis
charges it, all with the most Incredible
rapidity. OF course this operation is re-
peated when the second shot is fred and
SO on indefinitely, as long as ammuni-
ton is furnished. When it is desired to
begin firing, the gunner pulls the trig-
ger. If ne desires to fire but one shot,
be releases it instantly, but if he de-
sires to fire rapidly he simply holds the
trigger back, and the automatic mechan-
ism above described keeps at work Re
leasing the trigger throws out of posi-
ton the scar spring, so that the piston,
afte~ its impetuous backward rush, re-
mains at the back of the cylinder. In
order to insure rapid firing the. cartridges
are packed into metallic clips, each con-
tanning 80 rounds. These clips are car

ied in pasteboard boxes from which
they can be fed regularly through the
guns, and when place in position are
moved forward automatically by mech
anism connected with the piston. 1t is
possible to fire as much slower than 600
times minute as may be desired, and
1t is claimed by the Hotchkiss company
shat as accurate aim may be taken for
single shots as with any ordinary gun,
This gun is not the invention of an
American, Captain Gdolphe Odkolck Of
;he Austrian cavalry having produced it
after long and careful experiments. 1t
should be said, however, that in its pres
INT form it is the result of several i'm
provements made by the Hotchlziss COM
oany after that corporate on purchased it
from Captain Odkolck The new gun is
ioon to be thoroughly tested by the
United States authorities along with
other machine guns at Indian Head.

part Of the world the negroes in slavery

TEN SHOTS A SECOND.
Marvellous Work of Captain Cd
kolck's Machine Gun.
IT IS CLAIMED THAT THIS WEAPON
Has Been Fired at the Rate OF SIX
Hundred Shots n Minute For the
space ef Three Hours without
Heating.

1t is easy to say that the new Hotch-
kiss machine gun will fire ten shots a
second, or 900 d minute, provided it is
furnished with the necessary ammuni-
ton, but it is not easy to comprehend
what that means. 1t is easy to under
stand, however, that the Introduction
of such a weapon into modern warfare
means nothing less than revolution in
fighting, and there are those who claim
that this gun and other improved kill
ing machines are like to do away with
war altogether, since men cannot be
found 20 enlist as soldiers and stand up
against such terrible weapons. 1t is per-
fectly clear that one man armed with
one of the new guns could sweep every
thing before him within the arc of
half circle by simply keeping the ma
chine in operation and swinging around
from side to side. The execution would
be terrible, and it is hard to see any
thing wrong in the statement that one
such man would be equal to at least 100
armed with the old guns.
Unlike most other machine guns, this
new weapon has but one barrel, and ali
the bullets pass through it and all the
explosions take place in the same pow
der chamber. At first thought it would
seem impossible to operate such gun
without causing the chamber and barrel
to heat in very short time to such
degree as to render further firing impos-
