Workers Decides to Expend $4,000
on the Project.

tional convention of the Green Glass Blow

plants to resume work at once is based on
the extraordinary emand for fruit jars,

are still advancing. September 1 is the
date fixed for resuming work. Atlantic

MONEY DUE THE GOVERNMENT
Genern Gown Looks Up n Claim
Against Tho Old Union Pa
cihc Company.

WASHINGTON. July ~19.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-General J. G.. Gown is in the city
en- route for New York. General
Gown is here relative to unsettled
matters connected with the old
Union Pacific company, and will consult At
torney General Griggs as special counsel Of
the government relative to u deficiency claim
which the government has against the Kan
sas Pacific. General Gown, previous to his
leaving for New York. filed a claim with
the master of the Union Pacific for the
amount of the deficiency on the Kansas Pa
cific of Sc. coo. 900. When asked how the
government expected to get this amount
from n corporation hat was to all intents
and purposes d%efunct, the general said there
were a number OF general assets of the Union
Pacific remaining in the hands of the late
receivers and as the government claimed
it was entitled to a pro-rata distribution OF
this fund it would devolve upon the courts
to say whether the contention of the gov
srnmen was right or wrong.
Congressman Stark has developed a rather
remarkable ruling of the commissary depart
ment OF the War department in his brows-
ing around In the interest Of Nebraska so far
as the war Is concerned. He has discov-
cred that there is a regulation In existence
prohibiting the purchase of hornless cat
tie by the commissary department on the
ground that the absence Of horns precludes
the ability OF experts to tell the age OF cat
tie. Stark was nonplussed with this regu'
lation and he has gone to work to SHOW
that this rule works q great hardship upoI
the cattle raisers Of Nebraska, who for
number OF years past have been in tn
habit Of dehorning their cattle. upon tn
theory that 1t made cattle more tractabl
and much more easily handled.
Max j., Bacher OF st. Paul, who has beel

pect TO encounter any great obstacle in pass
ing a satisfactory examination.
William Gown will be appointed as cap
tain of commissary, his nomination in a
probability being made tomorrow. Delay i

SEVERE STORM IN WISCONSIN
Fear Expressed TINT the Damage VIII

MILWAUKEE, July ia storm APP
preaching the character of a cyclone started
at WATERFOWL, Wis, about 100 clock this
afternoon. Trees are reported being up

storm was followed by a heavy fall of rain
At Sun Prairie the storm did considerable
damage. Wires were Frustrated in many
directions in the northwest, the storm eX-
tending as far north as Green Bay, and 1t
ia feared the damage will be great,
Previous to the storm the weather was
hot and the thermometer registered near
the 100 mark. %.
At Beloit trees and wires In all parts OF
the city were blown down, rendering the
streets impossible. Several business BLOCKS
were unrooted.
At Menasha lumber piles were strewn
broadcast and the roof Of S. A. COOK
manufacturing plant was blown of.

Indiana. Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
New Jersey, Rhode Island, West Virginia
and Wisconsin have exceeded their quota,
but all the others are behind in the supply
of troops. The worst delinquent is North
Carolina. which has furnished only fifty
Ave soldiers to meet its quota of 1888. other
delinauents are Colorado, Louisiana, Ten
nessee, Virginia and Nevada, each of which
has supplied less than one-third of the
men required. Alabama, Massachusetts, Ar
kansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Oregon and
| Texas have done very little better and are
all very much behind in meeting the re-
quirements.
Complaint has been made also that in
several of the states an effort has been made
to folst poor material on the government.
The total enlisted strength Of the regular
army to date is about A, 900 men, being
about IS, 900 short of its legal complement.
The volunteer army consists of 1SS, 900 rlen
and is only II, 900 short of its maximum
authorized strength under the two calls is
sued by the president. The total strength
of the army, regular and volunteer, is 227,-
900, as now organized.
The statements in the above so far as
they relate to Nebraska are erroneous. The
two regiments when mustered into the serv-
ice, though not up TO the maximum, eN'
ceeded the number asked for from this
state. In addition to this Captain Culver
troop OF cavalry from Milford was accepted
by special request and now forms a par
of Grigsby's cowboy regiment.
Under the second cali as given in thu
above table at coo, Nebraska has sen
enough men to fill the first two regiments
up to the maximum, this alone beint
enough, to supply the quota. In addition
to this the Third regiment, which lef
Omaha Monday, was 1900 strong, ever!
company in the regiment being recruited
to the maximum before it was mustered
into the service.
Each of these three regiments and tt
troop of cavalry are out of the state, on
regiment and the troop of cavalry at Chick
amauga, one regiment on its way to Manil
and another on its way to Jacksonville.

GERMANY CAUSES NO WORRY
Belief Department Has Assurances Regarding
Its Course at Manila.
DEAL CAUTIOUSLY WITH INSURGENTS
Dewey Has Carefully R%cfrntned from
Committing himself In His
Intcrcourse with
Them.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-It was stated at
the Navy department today that no dis
patches had been received from Admiral
Dewey relating to the important events at
the Philippines described IN the press dis
patches. 1t is evident, however, that the
officers do not feel the same concern rela-
tive to the attitude OF The German naval
force at Manila that they did
when the admiral's last dispatch
was received. 1t was not SO
stated officially, but there Ii good reason to
believe that either through .AmbaSsador
White at Berlin, or the representative OF
the German government here, the State de-
partnent has received some assurances as
to the attitude OF Germany toward the fhil-
ippines that have in n large measure re-
moved the grave apprehension heretofore
entertained that Germany would offer OBJ
stacles to the execution OF our plans. II is
not known Just what the nature of these
assurances is and 1t may be that they are
based upon some facts communicated by
Admiral Dewey as to the exchanges witch
have taken place between himself and the
German admiral in the philippines, for it is
known that for polite reasons the Navy
department withheld from publication a
large and important section of Dewey's
. cablegram received several days ago.
The reported negotiations be-
tween the insurgent leader, Aguin-
aldo. aud the Spanish captain
general, Aususti, have not yet been reported
officially to our government. 1t is. however,
a matter Of congratulation TO the officials
here that in all the relations we have had
so far with tho insurgents, Admiral Dewey
has carefully refraiDed from committing
the United States in any way and has never
in the slightest degree relaxed the extreme
caution he adopted originally as his guiding
principle in dealing with the insurgents.
Unsavory stories of previous exhibitions OF
lack of integrity on the part OF the IN
surgent leaders had led the government
here to adopt a very wary attitude IN All
communications with this people ana the
same rule of action now governs Its con-
duct. 1t does not follow from that the
government is convinced that Aguinaluo Is
playing false. There is no doubt that the
pro- Spanish element in the philippines ana
in Asia would lose no opportunity TO create
that impression with a view to causing d
breach between the United States military
and naval commanders and the insurgents
nut the very suggestion of the adoption D!

them tends very strongly to retard tue
