The road was bid in by John l..
Webster, of Omaha, representing the
Manhattan Trust company, the plain
tiff in the foreclosure proceedings. The
sale was opened at the depot in South
Sioux City at 10 o'clock and this was
the only bid made, bur the sale was
held open for one hour. Z. p. Reynolds
& Co., of Wayne, Neb., through their
attorney, served notice that they will
attempt to enforce their Judgment of
$4,000 against the road as prior lien.
The mortgage on the line was ST.
100000, and these bonds we're held by
the trust company as trustee for the
Tods, who had made a loan of ST.
100000. The revenue stamps on the
deed will amount to $3.50.
Mr.. Webster paid up $4,000 cash to
bind the sale. The futise of the line
is still a mater of speculation, as it
will take ten days before the sale can
be confirmed, and after that it may
be managed by the present receivers of
the Sioux City & Northern until fur
Their arrangements are made. 1t is
pretty certain the line will be for sale,
but no one will say who will be the
buyer.

Decline to State What Was the Occasion
OF Midnight Conference at White House

Decline to State What Was the Occasion
OF Midnight Conference at White House
WASHINGTON, June 6.-No def
mite information was obtainable yes
terday as to the subject of discussion
during the conference at the White
House late last night between the
president, Acting Secretary of War
Meiklejohn and Adjutant General Cor
bin. The latter refuses to refer to the
matter. Mr.. Meiklejohn says the dis
patches received referred exclusively
to future military movements which
it would be impolitic to make public
at this time.
Secretary Hay was a party to the
conference, a fact not generally known
last night 1t is believed that advices
are received from President Sherman
OF the Philippine commission. The
conference prepared some instructions
to govern the conduct of the officers
in the Philippines in accordance with
the suggestions contained in the cable
advices and these were promptly ca
bled to Manila. The fact that the Sec
rotary of state was called into the
conference by the president is taken
as an indication that the subjects dis
cussed were not purely military in
character, but related in some manner
to large questions of policy connected
with the Philippines; perhaps relating
again into some fresh oVertures from
the insurgents. The matter is said to
be in such shape that publication IT
this time would defeat the object in
view

ALLISON ON MONEY QUESTION.
Iowa Senator Believes Cong ress VIII Pass
Conservative Currency Msasure.


WASHINGTON, June 6.-Senator
Allison of the senate finance commit
tee in an interview said:
I'm my judgment the next congress
will pass a financial measure My
Judgment is also that the finance COM
nittee will take up the silver Ques-
ton anew. The bill agreed upon by
the republican committee oe the house
will no doubt be laid before US in the
nature of suggestion and we will con-
slider it as we will other plans which
present commendable features Per
haps in the future we will meet with
the house committee, but nothing def
initely in that line has been arranged"
Have you any idea of the nature
Of the bills scope?"
Il do not anticipate any very radi-
cal measures. We want to maintain
our standard and at the SAM tire
give the country a safe and yet fleX-
ible currency. 1t is said we ought to
declare for the gold standard but we
are on the gold standard now. The
recommendations of the president rel
alive to the issue of national bank
currency to the par value Of the bonds
deposited with the United States
treasurer. a decrease in the tax IN
national bank circulation and the pay
ment of gold for greenbacks when the
latter are taken out of the treasury
are all worthy of enactment into law
and l should not be surprised to see
them adopted. There may be some
new suggestions, as for instance. some
legislation regarding our silver certii-
Gates which would relieve them from
the least degree of uncertainty"

Protocols Are Out of Date.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-While the
department Of state has acceded to the
request of the British government for
permission to publish in Canada and
England that part of the protocols
of the joint high commission which
related to the proposed arbitration Of
the Canadian boundary question, it
has done so, it is stated. not because
these particular protocols are regard
ed as conveying an accurate under
standing of the present state of the ne
gotiations, but as matter of diplo-
matte courtesy. These protocols are of
no contemporaneous interest, it Is
said, relating as they do to a phase
that has been so modified by subse-
quent negotiation as to be now of no
Importance. The only manner, how
ever, in which this fact could be made
to appear officially, and the state de-
partment's contention established as
to the responsibility of Canada for the
failure of the arbitration proposition,
would be by the publication of the cor
respondence and the verbal exchanges
that have occurred since the commits
sion adjourned. But this the depart
ment is unlikely to attempt, owing to
a sincere purpose i find a solution
for the present difficulty and belief
that this would not now be facilitated

ton was that from Iowa, numbering
500 men. Over 5000 visitors are ex-
pected. Today the state caucuses are
deciding on officers and the next place
of meeting. The principal contest is
for head banker, with Frank r.
Croker of Iowa apparently in the
lead. Practically all the other big

| Party of Actors Is Given Permission to
Land Under Well Defined Conditions.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Mr. Pow
Derby, commissioner of immigration,
with the approval of the secretary of
the treasury. has issued instructions
to the officials Of his service at San
Francisco to land the company of
Filipino actors who have been de-
tanned there some weeks pending a
final determination of the case. In the
course of his letter Mr.. Powderly says
that the persons who have a con-
tract with the Filipinos and who were
instrumental in brinta1g them to this
country. assert that it was their in
tention ito procure the services of
natives of the Philippine islands who
would be fair tyres of the people Of
that race. That, in addition, there
should be competent to illustrate the
domestic life, habits and customs of
their countrymen and that there
should be actors of recognized abil-
ity to enable them to faithfully por-
tray, as actors, the scenes and Incl
dents of life in the Philippines, to
sing the native songs and dance the
native dances of the FiliDinos, and
further, to illustrate the games and
festivals which form part of their do
mestic life, and that under no circum-
stances would they be allowed to per-
form any service in competition with
American labor"
Continuing, Mr.. Powderly says:
THE testimony in this case goes to
show that the appellants are actors
hnf bot Arf@
messed by one who testified to the
fact. 1t is true that they follow 9TH
err occupations, but that is also true
of many we'll known actors in the
United States. The point raised as
to their compensation is not material
since there is no recognized rule or
standard by which managers of thea
tiers are governed in paying the sal
aries OF actors
Mr.. Powderly has secured a pledge
from the persons bringing the COM
pany over that they will execute a
new contract with the Filipinos which
will provide that their services shall
be now only for the purpose of exhib-
itlng the songs, dances, games and
plays of the said islands; that they
will cause them to be supported,
maintained, clothed, fed, lodged and
supplied with medical attention when
required, so long as they remain in
the United States, and that they will
not require them to do any other la
Dor or service than above specified
and that they shall be returned to
their native country at the cost and
expense of the contractors at the
time specified in the oroginal con-
tract"

Building Two Miles a Day.

Boone dispatch: Two miles of track
day are being laid by the gang at
work on the extension of the Chi
cago & Northwestern from Wall Lake
to Denison. The work was commenced
on Thursday of last week at Wall Lake
and is being pushed in the direction
of the new town of Boyer. All the
grading is not yet completed, but will
be finished in few days. The piling
for the bridges has all been driven
in and there is nothing to impede the
rapid completion of the work. The
portion of the track which is not yet
graded is nearly in the center of the
line, and to expedite the building work
will be commenced at the other end
of the line at Denison and also pushed
towards Boyer.
The first sale of lots in any of the
new towns on the line in the valley
was held at Schleswig. where lots
25X1-0 feet, out in the center of a
pasture. were sold at prices ranging
up to 5000. Forty lots were sold at
auction at an average price of S195.
When right of way agents of the
Northwestern were negotiating for
land in the vicinity of Kiron the own
ers of land refused to sell unless the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway COM
pany would sign a contract to use its
inuence against saloon ever being
established there. The company in
stead of signing the contract, ran its
line to one side of the town.

Starts for Manila Alone.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.--The lit
tie schooner-rigged Coke, about thirty
feet long and only five tons measure
ment, sailed for Manila today. Cap
tain Freeitsch, the sole occupant Of
the vessel, proposes to make tour of
the world in the apparently frail cock
le-shell, which he constructed with his
own hands. He claims to have crossed
the Atlantic in a vessel of even small
err dimension. His only companion on
his long voyage will be a cat, to which
he is much attached, as it has been
with him before on long and lonely
cruises.
The Coke is a thorough sea-going
craft of her kind and her venturesome
skipper does not anticipate any trouble
in making the trip.
The little schooner Coke returned
to port tonight, having been unable to
make any Roadway against the strong
southwest wind prevailing outside Col
den Gate. Her captain proposes to
make another attempt to get started
on his way to Manila in a day or two.
