BECAUSE.

love you not because your eyes
The color of hazel are,
Nor yet because your cheek outyies
The summer roses far.
The locke OF brown that cling and curl
Around your forehead fair,
Your ruby lips and teeth of pearl
Did meier my heart ensnare.
lis true the songsters in the trees,
The larks in ether clear,
Will often cease their melodies
And list your voice to hear.
To match your hands no lilies grow
In wood or garden plot;
But for white hands and accents low,
Sweetheart, love you not.
But It's because that voice so soft
Has kindly words for all;
Because the tears of pity oft
From your bright eyes down fall;
Because your hands are strong to do
Good for the peer and lone;
Because your heart is brave and true
Ny heart is all your own.

Returns From the State.

ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. 3.-The COM
Bfesed returns from the state, coming
tn slowly, demonstrate that the repub-
lican landslides of the past two years
have been reversed, if not by giving as
large a majority for the democrats at
least by changing something like 24O,-
600 votes. Gov. Blacks plurality in
the state last year was over 200, 600.
John Palmer, the republican secre-
tary of state won the year
previous by over 100, 600. The indica-
tions are that these enormous plurali-
ties have been swept away and a reverse
plurality of between 80, 900 and 80, 600
given The greatest surprises of the
returns are the great gains made in
the assembly by the democrats, many
of them being in counties and districts
where there was no expectation on the
part of democratic managers of win
ming. The returns indicate that the
republicans will still control the as
sembly, although by a largely de-
creased majority.
More surprising, perhaps, than the
returns on the state and assembly dis
trict tickets, were results of the NUM-
cipal campaign in the large cities.
New York, Buffalo, Rochester, Bing-
hamton, Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Troy
and Schenectady, elected democratic
mayors. In Albany the conditions
were very similar to those
in New York. Two republican
candidates split up the vote of that
party and allowed the democrats to
win. The combined republican vote
was 1000 in excess of the democratic
vote. In Buffalo and Rochester repub-
Iican success was thought to be almost
assured prior to election, but the re-
suits are foreign to the predictions.

A GOOD
Paid for Fifty Miles of Road and Shows
Large Cash Balance.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 4.-The Union
Pacific, Denver & Gulf, in addition to
paying for 80 miles of road out of the
earnings, has $500, 600 cash on hand.
Receiver Trumbull has made his report
and there is quiet satisfaction among
the eastern stockholders.
Everything is pointing to a reor-
ganization of the road.
The receivers office yesterday re-
ceived news from Boston and New
York, where the majority of the MEM
beers of the reorganization committee
reside, which was made public, with
out comment, as it speaks for itself.
1t can be definitely stated hat the
Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf
will never go back into the
Union Pacific system. The inter.
ests of east-and-west lines and
north and south lines are usually i2
conflict, and the present reorganization
and managers of the Gulf road intend
to maintain its independence and work
for traffic toward the gulf.
Orders will soon be placed for extra
equipment.

United States, Russia and Japan will Form.
ally Execute u Sealing Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Nov. At is expected
that a treaty or convention between
the United States, Russia and Japan
will be formally signed and executed
at the state department during the
present week, carrying out the propo-
sition before the Behring Sea confer
ence, for a suspension of peIagic seal
ing. The present understanding is
that signing of this document will oc-
cur within the next few days. 1t will
represent the completed efforts of the
conference and with the signing con-
Guided, the conference will adjourn.
The terms of the treaty or convention
will follow the lines of the proposition
considered by the conference and re-
ferred with favorable recommendation
to the authorities at st. Petersburg
and Toxic.
The essential feature of the treaty,
or convention. is for the suspension of
pelagic sealing for such n period as
will permit the seal herds to revive.
The period of this suspension is not
disclosed. One report is that it will be
for n year, subject to extension.
Another is hat it Will cover a term of
years. But the exact duration of the
suspension cannot be verified.
The conference resumed it's sessions
at the state department, but no official
statement was made as to what had
been done or the plans in view.

oner'S friends.

but declined to make any further state
ment.

including Anticipated swords, pistols,
arrows, sings and false boards, were

Il UNION PACIFIC.
Sold Under Foreclosure Of the Gov
ment's Mortgage.
Government Interest Fully Met-How ID
Accrued-Principal and Interest Total
Amount-The Bid of the Re~orgsniza-
ton Committee-Earnings-

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 1.-The interest
of the United States government in
the Union Pacific railroad terminated
at 1l:4a O'Clock yesterday morning
when at the foreclosure sale of the
mortgage held by the United States
the road was purchased by the com
mittee of eastern capitalists formed
for its reorganization.
The full amount accruing to the
United States from the sale cannot be
given exactly, but is estimated to be
SIS, Cos, AS. ~. 1t was impossible to
determine the full amount at the time
of sale for the reason hat the monthly
statement made by the secretary oi
the treasury to the management of the
Union Pacific on the first of every
month, was not available yesterday,
and it was found necessary to estimate
some items, although it is admitted by
both sides that the estimates are APP
proximately correct.
The amount due the government is
made up as follows:
Principal of debt, S27, 236. 5l2.
Interest paid by the government up
to September 30, 1897, $50, $50, $50. 81.
Interest accrued to September 80
and still unpaid, $3.50, l47.6S.
Interest accrued in October, $685.
49,. 81.
Total due the government, SIS, AS.
92S.6 Ill.
Against this is the following credits:
Cash and bonds in sinking fund, Sls,-
49,, 466. SO.
Estimated credits for the quarter
ended September 50 and for the month
of October including government earn
ings and the interest on bonds in the
sinking fund, amount not yet credited,
S3S4, $50. Il.
Total credit, SIS, 565, $40. "A.
Total debt of the railroad to the
government, SIS, AS. 92S.6l.
Total credit of railroad with govern
ment, SIS, 565, 646. ~.
Balance and amount bid by reorgan-
ization committee, $50, SnS, 2Sl.S7.
The sinking fund bonds sold for SIR
645, 80. SO.
Total bids by reorganization com
mittee, $50, 52S, $50. 10.
The amount earned by the road dur
ing the quarter ended on September 80
and during the month of October is
estimated, but is practically correct,
and as the government will simply re-
tain the cash, crediting the amount on
the bids of the committee, the amount
to be turned over us a consequence of
the sale is SIS, O65, 74S. 40.
After the sale was concluded Gen.
Gown, the representative of the gov
eminent, was assured by the commit
tee that if the amounts were not &C
curately figured or should differ from
the figures given above, whatever may
be lacking will be paid by the commit
tee and will in no way be allowed to
interfere with the confirmation of the
sale. There was no opposition to the
committee and no bids were offered
against theirs.
None of the reorganization commit
tee cared to make any statement re-
garding the Kansas Pacific sale. which
has been postponed until December Is.
None of them would say Il word as to
whether the committee intended to bid
or moi.

THE FRAUDULENT WARRANTS.

Special Agent Zeveiy's Report to the
Secretary of the Interior-The Cover
ment VIII Suffer No Loss, But Spectators
Will be Pretty Hard Hit.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Especial Agent
Zevely, of the interior department.
whose sensational discovery of 500, 900
worth of fraudulent Creek Indian war
rants was announced last week,
reached here yesterday. He had q
conference with Acting Secretary of
the Interior Ryau and made a verbal
report of his Investigations.
This was contirmatory of the pub
lished statement showing that the
amount of fraudulent warrants on the
st. Louis s~ubtreasury had been issued,
but that the government would lose
nothing by the transaction. The
losers are outside parties who pur-
chased the warrants on speculation.
One of these discounters, acting in
good faith, bought $50. 900 worth of
these warrants, paying 81 cents on the
dollar. The remaining $40, 900 is un-
derstood to be confined to a few par
ties.
The United States district attorney
has the case in his hands, now and it is
probable That indictments will soon
follow. The investigation developed
the existence of a conspiracy within
and about the tribe to float these war
rants.
A number of the most prominent off.
Gals in the tribe are charged with the
offense as we'll as several employees,
while assistance of outside parties, not
responsible for the accounts, and the
clerical work within the Creek nation
was necessary to complete the scheme.
The formal report has not yet been
written, but it will be prepared imme-
diately and submitted to Secretary
Bliss shortly after his return from
New York
