How to settle the Spanish Quarrel.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Madrid dispatch in the Journal of to-

Mr.. CLARK'S CONVENTION.
The king of the Push" Says 1T VIII
BE the Biggest Thing Going.

All last evening Allen W. Clark, king
of all the push Parks Martin, chairman
of the Democratic state committee, and
other members of the executive and recep-
ton committees of the Bi:netallic League
were busy at their room in the Grand Hotel
with discussion of ways and means for
handling the big crowds expected at the
convention, which opens at Tomlinson Hall
to-day.
Hardly any of the visitors except those
from this neighborhood We're present, and
the great bulk of attendance will probably
not be in evidence before tomorrow, when
William J. Bryan is slated for a speech
Chairman Allen w. Clark states that
there will be at least 5000 people present
by Thursday, end perhaps more. He claims
that the convention will be the largest that
has over been held in indianapolis, and the
speaking talent WILL in his estimation, equal
that of national conventions,
The educational effects of the convention,
he said would be incalculable, and he had
no doubt that its influence will be largely
felt in the national campaign of 1900 Geo.
Fred Williams, of Boston, and General
Warner, of Ohio will be here to-day, while
Congressman Towne, of Minnesota, and
William J. Bryan will arrive Thursday
noon.
AS an indication of the size of the crowd
expected, Mr.. Clark said, word was re-
ceived last night that Hancock county alone
would furnish 1000 delegates, who will
arrive Thursday morning. special train
of four cars from Shelby county and two
sleepers from Allen county will arrive to-
day over the Big Four, and the Jackson
Club, of Terre Haute, with 400 men, will be
here tomorrow. while a Cincinnati dele
cation with special train is expected to-
day.
The Cleveland Club will furnish uni
formed escort to meet all delegations at the
station. The committee worked hard with
several plans for handling the enormous
crowd expected tomorrow.

COUPON TICKET SALES
INDIANAPOLIS ONCE LED IN SALES
OF LONG-DIsTANCE TICKETS.
Pullman Company Renews Its Con-
Pacific-New Fast Freight Line.

In commenting on the increase in business
with indianapolis lines since it's roads were
opened to traffic, a Union Railway official
remarked that ii was singular that the in
crease in sales of tickets at the Union Sta
ton had not kept pace with the increase in
travel since 1853. This was due to the fact
that for years people who were going east
or west, north or south, purchased local
tickets to Indianapolis, and on reaching
here purchased coupon tickets to long-dis-
lance points, Indianapolis having the only
coupon ticket Office in this section. The
second year that the Union Depot was
established the sales of tickets reached
$1,000 coo, and for several years ranged about
that sum, while in 1897 only 81, $50 900 in round
numbers was realized from sales of tickets
at the Union ticket Office Outside ticket
offices hive cut into the business of the
Union Station office more or less, and in
the days of their prosperity scalpers cut
down the revenue, which would otherwise
have gone to the Union Station. However,
ticket scalpers have been quite liberal pur-
chasers of tickets at the Union Station
since the outside ticket offices near by We're
closed, These brokers received from the
roads issuing the tickets a commission or
rebate, and some of the strong lines have
helped the scalpers by this method. 1t is
stated that the outside ticket offices are
now selling fully 60 per cent. of the tickets
from Indianapolis proper, which is known
as coupon business, as at these ticket Of
fees 1t is easier to get information as to
route time, lowest fare, etc. This fact has
also helped scalpers. One of the number
said that it was a very common thing for
a stranger or person who was anticipating
taking trip to come to them and say: Il
don't want to buy ticket, but would
like little information which 1 am unable
to get at the Union Station" If there is
any one thing that would be of benefit TO
the travelling public it would be to have an
information bureau established at the Union
Station. The business done at Indian
apolis would certainly justify such an ex-
pense

STREET-CAR LITIGATION
DECISION In THE NOBLEsvILLL CASE
READY TO BE HANDED DOWN.
Roth Succeeds Mcguire on the Board
of Public Safety-Other Mu-
nicipaI Matters.

City Attorney Kern yesterday received a
letter from Judge Neal, of Noblesville, say
ing that he was ready to render a decision
in the three-cornered suit in which the
city, the Citizens Street-railroad Company
and the City Railway Company the liti-
giants. Judge Neal said he would give his
decision either Saturday or Monday, to suit
the attorneys in the case. Mr.. Kern will
consult with Messrs. Miller and Winter,
attorneys for the Citizens Company. and
NIcssrs. Harris and Elliott. attorneys for
the City Company, and the day will be
agreed upon. The attorneys in the case will
so to Noblesville to hear the decision
The case is the one brought by Mr.. Kern,
as the representative of the city, to quiet the
title of the two companies to the streets of
indianapolis after JaniT1S. 1901, the date of
the expiration of the Citizens Companys
franchise. The case was taken to Hamil-
ton county on change of venue from the
Marion Superior Court, and Judge Neal has
already rendered a decision against the
Citizens Company holding that its rights
to occupy the streets expire with the date
of the expiration of it's franchise.
The City Company set up a claim that 1t
had been awarded franchise to succeed the
Citizens Company, and that it would be the
rightful successor to the rights of the Citi-
zens Company in the use of the streets.
The claim of the city, in its contention with
the City Company is that the latter has for
feited any rights it may have. had by fail
ing to take possession of the streets and
build street-railroad system within the
time required by it's alleged franchise; that
the city limited the company to a fixed time
to accomplish these things, and that there
was no provision for an extension of the
time for any reason such as has operated to
prevent the company carrying out its con-
tract.
1t is believed that Judge Neal will sus-
tain the city's position. In either event the
whole case will go t5once to the Supreme
Court where it will be advanced and finally
decided as quickly as possible.

VIOLATED THE CHARTER
GameweII Battery Sold the City at
EXOrbitant Figure.


The deal which the Board of Public Safety
made Monday with the Gamewel Company
for storage batteries to operate the police
telegraph system is no doubt an Illegal one,
says man who has given attention to mu-
nicipal affairs 1t is in violation of the city
charter, which requires that all contracts
for purchases and work done by Independent
contract shall be let by competition. There
was no competition in the deal with the
Gamewell Company. Last August bids were
opened for the placing of a new police tele-
graph system in operation in the city. There
were bids lower than that of the Gamewell
Company. but the Gamewell Company's bid
was considered best" for the reason that
the workings of the system were we'll known
and satisfactory. it was alleged, while it
was claimed that little was known of other
systems. The Gamewell Company bid was
$4,000, to which was to be added $500 if the
automatic CUTOFF were used and $4,000 if
the storage battery were used. The board
closed the contract in which it was provided
that the automatic CUTOFF be used but the
storage battery was omitted, and under the
terms the company agreed to put in suf-
nclent gravity battery to operate the plant.
The contract was tsagned on these terms
and the work commenced on the plant
The plant Is now almost completed and
Monday the board received a proposition
from w. Chandlee, agent for the Gamewell
Company Offering to put the storage bat
terry in on trial for six months, to cost the
city $500 at the end of the time if the
city wanted to keep it. The board accepted
the proposition; Under the charter the meth
cd is an illegal one. While it has been the
custom for small contracts to be let without
competitive bids, It IS unprecedented to
award a contract of this size without COM
petition. The battery is not necessarily a
part of the Gamewell system, and any other
company in that business could put in the
same battery with as good result as
though 1t be done by the Gamewell people.
An electrician who has made a study of
such things said yesterday that the price
charged for the storage battery was ex-
orbitant. He said it ought not to cost more
than 500, allowing a fair profit, and he be-
Heved that If bids Were asked for the work
would he dn11n or haf r,ril.n
