ROOSEVELT SCOLDS.
Severely Censures Naval Officer and
Court Martial.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The navy de-
partment has made public the proceed
ings of the court martial in the case of
Lieut.. c. Stanworth, charged with in
toxication on duty ON board the Adams
at Port Angeles, Wash.
The papers are remarkable for the
severity of the censure passed on both
the court and the defendant by Acting
Secretary Roosevelt in his Endorsement
upon the case.
The defendant pleaded in bar that he
had previously been suspended from
duty by the captain, and the court al
lowed the sufficiency of this plea IN
his Endorsement Mr.. Roosevelt says, ar
ter reviewing the history OF the case;
1.-The court clearly erred in the case
in the first instance in sustaining the
plea of the accused in bar trial, ana
again in refusing to correct its error
when pointed out by the department. II
is difficult to understand the display OF
obstinacy thus presented. IN as much as
the court thereby assumes to put IT'S
own Interpretation OF precedents anu
decisions originally established ana rem
dered by the department above the m
terDretation placed thereon by the de-
partment itself.
ssBy shielding himself behind atechni-
col nIea Lieut. StanwOrth has practi-
caiIv admitted his guilt. The case of an
ofIicer of the navy who is obliged to
odmit bv a plea of this character and
Who does not deem it prudent to sub
roit the question of his guilt or 1nno-
nence of a grave charge to the JudS-
,oent of the court martial, is most de-
DlOrable"

GOLD DEMOCRATS MEET
And Nominate a State Ticket in Ne
braska.

Omaha. Neb., Sept. 23.-Thirty-nfh
counties were represented in the Ma
tionals Democratic convention, which
met here last evening. There was but
one point for dispute, and that was
whether a ticket should be put in the
field.
Chairman Mahoney of the state com
mittee offered resolution declaring it
the sense of the convention that as no
national issue is involved, no ticket be
named.
After a rather animated debate, this
was voted down and full ticket nom
mated. James NJ. Woolworth was
named for judge and Judge ]. S. Craw-
ford of Westpoint and J. Sterling Nor
ton of Nebraska City for regents.
The platform adopted reaffirms the
Indianapolis declaration as 1.-The true
exposition of Democratic teaching in
respect to finance
1t goes on: I'VE condemn the hypoc-
risy and double dealing of the Repub-
Hcan party in keeping trinity of pros
elyters abroad pretending to solicit for
eign governments to embark in the free
coinage of silver, when it is known that
the entire drift and tendency of all COM
mercial nations is toward a universal
gold standard as a measure values,
with a limited coinage of silver on a
gold basis under suitable safeguards of
law-the only manner in which both
metals can be kept in concurrent Cir
culation among the people,"

GOLD FLOWING baa.
$1,ooo,ooO Coming to New York
From the Bank of England.

New York, Sept. pa special cable
gram from London to the Evening Post
says:
Gold to the amount of 900 900 has
been withdrawn from the Bank of Eng
land for shipment to New York. These
shipments are regarded as the results of
York, which is now watched more closely
than is the rate of exchange. More gold is
expected to go, but present opinion here
favors only moderate total in all. That
will depend however, of necessity. largely
on the course of the markets.
The officers of the National City bank
were not inclined to discuss their action
in engaging gold for import, though the
fact of such engagements was admitted.
1.-The gold was engaged said the cash.
ier, to a representative of the Associated
Press, lin the regular course of exchange
business in the settlement of balances"
The question was asked whether it was
in the nature of special transaction or
was a natural movement due to the con-
dition of the exchange market. To this
it was replied that it was quite possible
for exchange bankers to have special ad-
for gold bullion, which would give them
an opportunity to import gold and that
it was of course natural that oppor-
tunity to import gold would be taken adj
vantage of. The inference to be drawn
is that at the present rate of exchange
here, and with the present prices of gold
bullion abroad in the market, there is no
profit in the Importation of gold

EASY VAGRANCY CHARGE.
Summary Manner in Which the
Charge is Brought in Court

a0day in police court when Chief of
Police Henry NJ. Steele asked John A.
Walker what his occupation was, he
said that he was not doing anything.
Ten minutes afterwards his name was
placed on the police register with the
charge of Vagrancy against him.
Walker is a young man who is known
by the surname Johnny. He lives with
a woman whom he claims as his wife.
Tuesday night this woman was arrested
by the police on the charge of street
walking. Today in police court the case
was called. She tripped into police
court in fine clothes. Her neat fitting
silk waist and novelty cloth skirt, pat
tern hat and soft kid gloves, silk para
sol and white net veil gave an appear
ance of prosperity. Johnny" was pres
ent to conduct her case.
Il want this case continued to Satur-
day." said Chief Steele, when the case
had been called. 1--WE were unable to
get the witnesses today. Some of them
went to Atchison.''
81 would like to have this case tried
today" said young Walker. Il have got
to go to Horton tomorrow, and 1 can't
be here Saturday"
Chief Steele-Johnny, what do you
do?
WaIker-I'm not doing anything.
Judge AtchiSon-The case viii be con-
tinued till Saturday
Arrangements were made for a bond
for the woman, and Walker was about
to leave when he learned that he was

Pressure for Room for the Big
Floral Ball
So Great That Senate Chamber
Must Be Used.
BANQUET is GIVEN up
In Its Place Elaborate Refresh
ments Will Be Served.
Price of Ball Tickets Therefore
Reduced to $3.

The state executive council having made
the order that all galleries in both Senate
chamber and Representative hall shall be
the Festival Queens ball, the same as at
the inaugural ball, a change in the ar
rangements has been made necessary.
In order to accommodate the invited
guests, room has now to be made on the
floor of the ballroom. This would so
overcrowd Representative hall that it has
been decided that both the Senate cham
Der and Representative hall shall be used
as bathrooms. OF course, this prevents
the use of the senate chamber as a ban
quet hall,as had been intended, and causes
the managers of the ball considerable in
convenience, because they had already
made their plans on the first understand
ing with the executive council. They will
gracefully accept the requirements of the
council and go ahead with the ball with
some necessary notifications.
In place of the banquet elaborate re-
freshments will be served in all the COM
mittee rooms adjoining the bathrooms.
Since the banquet is dispensed with the
cost of the entire entertainment will be
greatly reduced, consequently tickets to
the Festival Queens ball will be made 50
instead of IS. This necessitates the re-
turn of 81 apiece to more than $50 peo-
pie who have already purchased tickets.
The pressure for tickets has been so
great that it was already certain that
every one of them would be gone long
before the ball and that hundreds of
those who will be in town Festival week
would be unable to obtain them.
1t will be with pleasure that the public
will receive the announcement that room
will be made for all by opening both halls
for the ball, and making making the
price SO, which is made possible by hav-
ing more tickets to dispose of.

M'KINLEY AGREES.
He Sanctions the Sale of the Union
Pacific Railroad

Chicago, Sept. ga special to the
Tribune from washington says:
The Union Pacific reorganization
committees proposition for the settle
ment of the company's debt to the
United States will be accepted, the gov
ernment mortgage will be foreclosed,
the road sold and the company reor-
ganized.
This statement is made on the high
est authority. For several days past
the president has had conferences with
the representatives of the company and
with the attorney general and before
he left Washington he agreed to the
sale of the road and it's reorganization
upon the basis which the reorganiza-
ton committee suggested. The an
nOuncement of the decision may be
looked for at an early date. 1t will
come in an order for foreclosure issued
by the president to the secretary of
the treasury.
The agreement to which President
Mckinley has decided to give his sane
tion is the same which was submitted
to congress by President Cleveland last
January. Under this agreement the
reorganization committee will bid foc
the road under foreclosure sale the
sum of s45, ,754, ,O59.
In order to give an ineligible state
ment of what this bid viii mean to the
United States it is necessary to enter
cific obligation to the government.
The principal debt Of the Union Pa
cific to the United States was $35, $780,
512. A portion of this has not yet been
advanced by the Emitted States. The
interest paid by the government
amounts to $50, ,954, ,S93. The whole in
debtedneSs on the first day of July,
1897, was 70,494;405. The sinking fund
of the Union Pacific, in the hands of
the treasurer of the United States on
the same day was $17, 73s. .209. After de-
asset of the company in the hands of
the United States for the purpose of
paying the debt of the Union Pacific
Railroad company to the government,
the sum of $2S, Ole, $50 remains to be
paid. That is the only sum which
Fitzgerald'S reorganization committee,
as it is known, will be required to pay
the government.
The loss to the government is the
difference between $53, 100000, which is
the net amount due the government in
round numbers, and the $2S, 900, ,O0O
making a loss of nearly $25, ,000, 900 in
round numbers, according to the figur-
ing of the opponents of the agreement.
The agreement for the foreclosure sale
also contains a provision for the reor-
ganizatiOn of the Union Pacific Rail-
road company and it's Kansas Pacific
branch.
The reorganization committee con-
sists of Louis Fitzgerald, Jacob H.
Schif, T. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., .,Chaun-
cey M. Depew, Marvin Hughitt and Oh
iver Ames. The new capitalization of
the company under the new Fitzgerald
plan will be 100000 900 four per cent
bonds, $4,000, 900 of preferred stock and
SCI, ,000, 900 of common stock.

The public is confidently expecting

ment. A national institution should not
be irnperilled and the whole financial
system of the country excited by Such
vagaries.''
Tine Westminster Gazette this after
noon. touching upon the increase In
from , to 21L per cent says: 1.-The fin
ancial market would much prefer the
bank rate to have been advanced to B
per cent However, 1t is an 1ndica-
fton that the directors do nat antici-
nate large Withdrawals of gold at pres
ent and it has had the effect of
gthstrening prices on the stock ex-
change.
