APPROVAL OF THE PLAN.
SCHEME OF THE UNION PACIFIC
REORGANIZERS MEETS WITH
FAVOR.
RECEIVER CLARK SAYS THAT ALI.
INTERESTS ARE TO BE PROP
ERLY PROTECTED.

OMAHA, NEBR., Oct. 1S.-The plan of
the Union Pacific reorganization commit
tee, as published in the telegraph reports
from New York. is the topic of discussion
in local railroad circles. The officials gen.
orally consider the plan an excellent one
and the most feasible method of bringing
the road out of its financial slough of
despond and at the same time protecting
all of the many interests involved. Re-
ceiver Clark, on speaking of the plan as
proposed, said:
II consider it the best solution of the
problem OF taking care of the property that
has yet been offered. 1t is the plan agreed
upon by the reorganization committee
composed of some of the best railroad men
and ablest financiers of the country repre-
senting the interests of the stockh olders
and bondholders of the system. The fact
that all of the interests were represented
in the committee on reorganization, and
that the plan proposed met with favor
from all of them, was evidence that all
rights of the various holders of stock and
bonds in the company were satisfied that
their interests would be properly guarded
and protected under the plan proposed. In
brief, the reorganization plan contemplates
the retirement of the various bonds of the
company and the issuance in their stead
of new bonds at lower rate of interest
with provisions for the payment of the
interest on the Government and other
bonds now in default and the payment of
the operating expenses of the system.
Under the plan the new management will
take hold of the road in January, 1897, at
which time the present receivers will be
retired from their positions"

During the early part of the year reso-
luton was passed by the board that in the
future the State would pay for no more
telephones used by State officials. If they
wanted to hello to each other they
would have to pay for that luxury out of
their own pockets.
Exception after exception has been
made to this ruling, and telephones have
been placed i'll the Office of the Attorney
General in San FRANCISCO aud in the
offices of the Controller and Governor.
These last two have entered a general
complaint to the effect that, having the
only telephones in the building with the
exception of the public one in the rotunda,
they are constantly bothered with calls
for the other offices. Warden Hale had n
claim for telephone between the gates at
San Quentin, and on resolution the matter
was laid over awaiting the opinion of the
Attorney General on the question, and it
is more than likely that the telephones
will be restored as needed.

AIDED BY The REDSKINS,
Brilliant Scenes at the Denver
Mountain and Plain
Carnival.
Indian Sports Followed by Parades
and ReveIry In the
Streets.

DENVER, Colo, Oct 1S.- Upon the
sloping surface of the half-mile bicycle
track at City Park fully $4,000 people stood
for three hours this afternoon watching
with intense delight the Ute and Santa
Clara Indians at their games, races and
dances. In the center of the great oval,
excited by the thunders of applause from
the spectators, the Utes gave their famous
war dance with all the intensity possible.
The squaws and papooses also participated
in the fun. The Pueblo Indians excited
the greatest attention because of their more
picturesque attire. In the footraces the
bucks were stripped almost naked and
their copper skins fairly glistened with
paints and oils. They closed their enter
tainment by giving several pony races
around the oval. Six brass bands sta
toned at intervals around the track fur
nished the music for the occasion.
While this entertainment was in progress
at the City Park the downtown streets
were wildly hilarious from noon until
P. NJ. by the antics of several thousand peo-
pie en- masque, who held the streets almost
to the exclusion of traffic.
In the morning there was brass band
stand and series of miners drills for
prizes at City Park. Crowded into the
days programme was parade of the city
Fire Department, the apparatus lavishly
decorated with the carnival colors.
AT night the Mysterious Order of the
Slavs of the Silver Serpent gave parade
under the thousands of colored incandes-
cent lights which made Sixteenth street so
beautiful. Several thousand dollars had
been expended by the order upon their
floats, and the effect was dazzlingly bril-
liant, rivaling the best efforts of New
Orleans Mardi Gras. The festival of
Mountain and Plain closed at late hour
by reception held in the Brown Palace
Hotel by the officers of the Silver Serpent
order and grand ball participated in by
the Slavs and invited guests.
This October festival has been the
means of attracting the greatest crowds
ever seen in Denver, and the success of the
affair has established it as permanent
annual event

FIVE-CENT TICKETS MAY CARRY

AGREEMENTS ARE SHELVED.
The TROUBLE STARTED BY Con-
CEssIONs GRANTED TO BICYCLE
TOURNAMENT VISITORS.

LOS ANGELES, GAIL, Oct. 18.--There is
a rate war on between the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific railroads.
The Southern Pacific has spent about
900 at Santa Monica, building the finest
bicycle track on the coast and in other i'm
provements, and announced the opening
events for tomorrow. The Santa Fe has
also line to Santa Monica, and there ap-
pears to have been some agreement made
between the representatives of the two
roads as to the roundtrip rate to be
charged. The Southern Pacific announced
recently that holders of tickets overits line
would be admitted to the ground free, a
privilege that is denied to the Santa Fe
patrons. The latter road Immediately be-
gan to cut rates. The situation tonight
looks as though a und-trip rate of cents
is among the possibilities. Both COM
panies claim they are right and express
determination to carry the largest share of
the traffic.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Oct. 49,
The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe rate
cutting war is on in earnest. Following
the announcement that holders of South
ern Pacific tickets would be admitted to
the Santa Monica bicycle tournament free
of charge, the Santa Fe cut the rate from
81 so to 81 25 and announced that it would
keep % cents below any rate offered by its
competitors.
The Southern Pacific met the reduction,
but hedged by raising the price of admis-
sion to the races at so cents to all except
holders of Southern Pacific tickets,
who would still be admitted free.
The Santa Fe promptly saw it
one better by reducing the rate
to 70 cents, which gave it the best of it, as
it would thus haul all of those who desired
to go to Los Angeles or the coast without
seeing the races. Later in the afternoon,
however they weakened and restored the
rate to 81, where it now stands.

BIG STRIKE OF c0AL-MlEERS.
Twenty-Five thousand Men Are Idle in Con-
sequence of the Action of the
Pfttsburo Convention

BRADFORD, Pa, Oct. 1s.-P.J. Meehan
and Thomas Widen of Dubois, Pa, are in
the city soliciting aid for the striking
miners OF the soft coal regions. They re-
port that every mine in Central and West
ern Pennsylvania is tied up, and that at
least 25,OO0 men are idle as O consequence
OF the strike ordered by the Philhpsburg
convention of Wednesday last. The
strike is under the auspices of the
United Mine-workers of America, and
is ordered for the purpose of obtaining a
40 cent rate for each ton of coal mined
At present 80 and 35 cents are the prices
paid per ton for mining.
The strikers will not resort to violence,
but are very stubborn. The companies
are determined to make a firm stand
against the demands of the miners, and a
long and bitter strike is threatened.
