REORGANIZING THE UNION PACIFIC.
Committee Has Practically All the
RnudS Af1Ont


Boston, June 15.-In a short time
the reorganization committee is expect
ed to make public its new plan for the
reorganization of the Union Pacific
railway, as assurances have been re-
ceived that the plan will be acceptable
to the representative Of the govern
ment. The plan is said to provide for
the securing Of the road by the reor-
ganiZation committee for the actual net
sum of $2S, ,691 1886, although the mini
mum bid was fixed at $45, ,545, 600. 1t is

proceeded SO far that changes to be
made in the board of directors have
been decided upon, and Oliver w. Mink
of this city is named as probable pres

SULTAN is IN AN ANGRY MOOD
European Ambassadors Will No
Permit Unjust Demamls.

London. June 10.-The latest advices
from Constantinople deny that the
powers are advocating direct negotia-
tions between Turkey and Greece. In
other respects, however, the aspect of
affairs is rather worse than better. 1t
appears that at Saturdays conference
the ambassadors declined to accept
either Assem- Bey or Siam Bey as a
Turkish peace commissioner. This, to-
gether with their refusal to discuss the
retention Of Thessaly, threw the sultan
into such a rage that he forthwith
summoned a meeting of the special
commission appointed to consider the
terms of peace. All day Sunday he
was in telegraphic communication with
most of the European capitals, and in
the evening he gave stringent orders
to the grand vizier, who Immediately
resigned. The special commission sat
until the small hours Of the morning,
accomplishing only a split among its
members, the majority Of whom ex-
pressed themselves emphatically as
opposed to yielding to the powers.
The Turks are very angry at the al
legged brusque declaration Of Sir Philip
Currie, the British ambassador, that
England will never permit Christians
to return to Turkish rule.

Negro, Crazy Drunk, Started to Kill
Every One He Met.

Meridian, Miss. June 14-News has
been received here of the murder
of five negroes in the extreme north
western portion of Kemper county. A
negro man named Silbey, while crazy
drunk, secured a gun and started out

he came across happened to be five ne
groes, three women and two children,
and the fiend shot them down and left
them dead where they fell. He also
shot at six other negroes, who narrow
ly escaped.
AS soon as the bloody work of Sibley
was discovered the most intense excite
ment prevailed, and mob was or

took to the woods, carrying his shotgun
with him, and at last accounts the mob
had surrounded him and a bloody fight

CHANGE IN TARIFF AMENDMENTS
Additional Tax on Beer VIII Be
Withal

Washington, June 10.-The republican
members of the finance committee will
withdraw the amendments for an ad-
ditional tax on beer and for duty Of
10 cents a pound on tea. The question
of revenue is giving the committee con-
siderable concern. If there should be
withdrawal of the increased tax on
tobacco the bill would not meet the
needs as a revenue producer. For this
reason it has been practically deter
mined to make a bank check stamp
tax.
The senate committee on finance has
agreed upon number Of additional
amendments to the agricultural sched-
ule, the most important of them relat-
ing to fish. A new paragraph on choco
late has also been agreed to.
The paragraph relating to extracts
of meat was amended so as to provide
that the dutiab'e weight Of this article
should not include the weight of the
package in which it is imported.
