NEW YORK. n. Y, Jan. 13.-The Her
ala says: Reports were in circulation last
night that the Union Pacific reorganiza-
ton commission, having now within its
control nearly all of the bonds and stock
of the company by means of the agree
ment under which they were deposited,
is ready to bid fair sum for the road from
Omaha to Ogden.
The programme is said to be to take up
the Government bonds on both the Union
and Central Pacific roads so as to give
tn EN- through line to the coast.
According to the report the support of
the Vanderbilts and J. Pierpont Morgan is
expected to be obtained. In fact, if 1t is
carried out they may head the syndicate
that furnishes the necessary capital for
thereby the Vanderbilt roads would secure
a through line from Omaha to San Fran
cisco. This would give continuous sys-
tenn from Boston and New York to the
Pacific Coast and it would constitute the
strongest system in the country.
No confirmation was obtalnabie last
night, but, in the opinion of railroad
men, the presence of two recognized Van

According to Washington dispatches

last night about the plans of the Union

a vigorous effort to secure some sort of
settlement with these roads before March

facts remain to be gathered before the de.

such as information con corning the titles
to branch lines, terminals and more par
ticularly as to the prospect of there being
a Satisfactory bid for the roads in case the
courts order auction sales.

recommendation to the Health Board,
suggesting that a hospital be erected for
the exclusive treatment of consum ptives
The report says that there are 10000 cases
of consumption in the city and that at
least fifty persons daily contract the dis
ease from coming in contact with those
already infected.
Consumption, the committee declares.
is contagious and deadly disease and
should be treated as such. The records of
the health department show that there
were 5000 deaths from tuberculosis Outing
the past year.
"a great portion of this suffering and
death" the report says, ''in view of mod
ern scientific knowledge, we know to be
largely preventable by the efficient en-
forcement of simple MISUNDERSTOOD and
easily applied methods of cleanliness, dis
infection and isolation"
The Board of Health adopted the report
and decided to take the necessary steps
toward the erection of the hospital pro-
posed. Nothing can be done in that di-
rection immed lately, as the board has
already made its appropriations for the
year. At its next regular meeting the
board will adopt an amendment to the
sanitary code and the Legislature will be
asked to aid the desired reform.

Ev1I11nffoas

OMAHA, NEB., Jan. 13.-Paul Van Der
WORT, president of the National Reform
Press Association, was seen this evening
and shown the dispatch which was sent
out from st. Louis to-day relating to the
strained relations which exist between
the officers of the association. He noted
the fact that Secretary Roselle had called
convention at Kansas City in opposition
to the regular one at Memphis, Tenn.
February o. and then dictated this reply !:
Referring to the dispatch from ST. Louis in
the evening papers, have the following STATE
ment TO make: The executive committee, with
one dissenting voice, voted TO hold the annual
m citing ct Memphis Mr.. Roselle also took
vote, with the same result. We also poled the
officers of the association, and all but MI.
Roselle voted for Memphis. He protested, and
wanted to hold the meeting at ST. Louis or
Kansas City.
Full arrangements have been made at Mem
ph;s, and at all cities the authorities are CO.
operating. Mr.. Roselle went in with the
Dem ocratic party in Missouri and is seeking
an office at the hands of the Democratic Gov
erncr. He is seeking to disrupt the party and
turn it over to the Democrats. In accordance
with our constitution l have taken a vote of
the executive committee and its members
have decided 10 suspend Mr.. Roselle from his
position and membership, which hereby an
nounce. He can hold any Sldeshow he pleases.
The great majority of our members have
hoisted the black flag against fusion. During
the campaign we were all willing 10 support
Mr.. Bryan If the agreement to withdraw
Sewall was kept. 1t having been broken by
the Democratic party we were under no obi
cations to support man who did not repre-

silver and was only a recent convert to that.

day Kumler & Smith, attorneys for
Thomas J. Kuhn of Cleveland and Ar
of the stock holders, filed petition asking
for receiver.for the Woolson Spice Com
pany. Judge Morris caused temporary

motion January %.
The petition names the Woolson Spice
Com any and the American Sugar Rein
ing Company as defendants, and states
that the stock of the Woolson Spice Com
panv i valued at $500, 900. Kuhn and the

with the Woolson Company in the coffee
business; that they sold sugar bought in
The so-called trust.
1t is further stated that last year the
ArbuckIes started a sugar refinery in
Brooklyn; that thereupon the trust went
INTO The coffee business, purchased all but
slxty-Une shares of the Woolson Spice
Company and announced that 1t would
operate the Woolson plant in the sole in
terest OF the American Sugar Refining
Company.
1t is alleged that the trust gave out
that the deal was made to crush the Ar
buckles, and that when that was accom-
plished the Woolson stock would go back
TO the original holders; that the Woolson
directors have resigneds leaving no board
to appeal to; that in the face of the rising
market roasted coffee has been reduced
cents pound and the pant is losing $1,000
day.
The court is asked for an inquiry into
the loss sustained by the sugar trusts

PENDANTS make an accounting for all such
losses. Also the COURTS asked to appoint
a receiver.

The Buckeye State WIN Be Lost -Four
Years Hence Unless Something Is
Done for the Farmer

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. 13.-For the
first time the Ohio Wool-srowers' Asso-
citation. in sits meeting to-day, was not
unanimous regarding tariff protection.
The resolutions reported from the COM
mittee set forth that the removal of the
tariff on wool had ruined the sheep-rais-
ing business and demanded the res
toration of protection. They did not in
dorse the Dingley bill now before the
Ways and Means Com mittee of the House.
Judge William Lawrence. president of
the association. moved to amend by in
sorting an indorse ment of the Dingley bill.
1t was developed in the discussion that
followed that the committee thought the
bill too radical, and would not report the
resolutions with the Endorsement in them.
The amendment offered by Judge Law
renee was finally adopted on weak vote.
In the course of his remarks Judge Law
renee said if t e incoming administration
did not do something tor the farmer Ohio
would go for free silver four years hence
The preamble declares that the severest
blow ever dealt the agricultural in
terest of the United States was inflicted by
the tariff of 1894, and the most disastrous
of all was the placing of wool on the free
list. this action depreciating the American
flocks one-third, reducing the price of
wool so per cent and causing loss to the
wool growers in three years of over
$175 600, 900; that it is fast eliminating the
most important branch of industry from
the farmer and farm laborers as well as
others who must draw their support from
agricultural industries; that it is the first
and highest duty of the incoming admin
istration to revise the tariff at the earliest
possible moment. The resolutions de-
mand that such duty as will fully restore
the industry be put upon wool, and the
new tariff act should contain clause pro-
viding for additional duties on wool and
