The interest would begin with toe ex-
piration of the old contract about a
year ago last November.

proved by City Clerk Catlin and be ex-

to-day and appointed a committee to
work out a plan of reorganization. The
committee is C. C. Hughes, j. F. Harder
and F. w. Jansen. On the subject of
reorganization Mr. Hughes said:
at has been decided to reorganize the
national association and to change its
scope to anti-colonialism. There has al
ways been a majority Of the leading
men in the national association of anti
imperialistic clubs who believed that
the association should be devoted to OPP
posing that system of establishing colo
nies. 1'he object of the reorganized
antt-colonial league will be to limit its
work to nominating and electing candi-
dates who are in favor of opposing the
policy of the republican party in the

NEBRASKA RETURNS.
Mckinley sur e of the State Legislature
still In Doubt.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 8.-Complete re-
turns from two-thirds of the counties
in Nebraska and scattering returns
from the balance show Mckinley has
carried Nebraska by plurality Of at
least 1000. An equal number of re-
turns on the state ticekt indicate that
Nebraska has reelected Governor
Poynter and the entire state ticket by
pluralities ranging from 500 to 1900
over the republicans, the governor be-
ing high man. If the balance of the
state shall show the same percentage
of gain and loss. Poynter's election is
certain and the counties to be heard be-
ing mostly in the western part of the
state it is fair to presume that this Is
the case The legislature will probably
be decided by Douglass in which it
will take the official count to determine
the vote.

TIE ELECTORAL TOTE.
Standing About Definitely Settled
Mckinley Has 292, Bryan 1856.

New York, Nov. S.-The standing of
the presidential candidates in the cleo
tOlal Coilese seems now about DEFINITELY
settled The last state to leave the
doubtful column was Idaho, which
shows a plurality of something over a
thousand for Bryan. four-fifths Of the
voting districts having made returns,
This seems to be conclusive, there being
little probability of enough republican
votes in the late districts to change the
result. Nebraska is apparently repub-
lican, though there is still some doubt
as to the complexion of the legislature
Both parties still claim the state for
presidential electors and for governor.
The vote in the electoral college will
probably be: For Mckinley, 1912. for
Bryan, 1856. The legislature of Delaware
is now reported to be in doubt, the Of
fetal count being awaited to decide the
question of party control there.

CONFIRMATION OF OCEAN LINES
Reports that Extensive Interests Are to
CansoIidate.

Baltimore, Nov. S.-Rumors were cur
rent to-day concerning combination
of transatlantic steamship companies
which will involve several companies
and many millions of dollars. 1t was
said that the Atlantic Transport COM
pany, which has lines between New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
London, will be a part of the combina-
tion. Persons interested in the COM
pany are ret.cent, but it was learned
from an apparently reliable source that
negotiations are going on in New York
and that representative of the Attain
tic Transport company is in that city
looking after It's interests.
Color is given to the rumor by the
strength of Atlantic Transport company
stock on the exchange to-day. There
was an active inquiry for 1t on the
board and on the curb, but the only
sale recorded in the early dealings was
ten shares at $50, an advance of Is per
cent. compared with the last preceding
sale. Since August 80 the stock has ris-
en- As points.
Details of the deal are carefully
guarded. but it is understood that the
stockholders of the Atlantic Transport
company will receive more than 200 per
share for their holdings, in the event of
a consummation of the deal.

The somewhat unusual, though by no

THE BOARD OF FINANCE
Letter Received from Treasurer
Fresentus Registrars Biiis Approved
-Selecfmen Sent In Big BllI for
Lunches and One for Jachknives-
Other Business Last Night

| The board of finance at its regular
meeting last night again considered
the matter of the depositing Of city
money which was investigated recently.
| Controller Rowe offered a resolution
providing that Henry Fresenius, treas
urer of the city, be ordered to deposit
| at once in the Merchants National
bank all moneys belonging to the city
which he now has on hand or which
he may receive, the said Merchants
National bank having been designated
the city depository by the board of
finance. Alderman Wright of the
board moved that the resolution be
tabled and Councilman Wheeler sec
onded, The motion was carried, Messrs.
Wright, Wheeler and Curtis voting for
it and Messrs, Dewell and Rowe against
It, Mr.. Atwood was not present.
Mr. Wright stated that his reason for
wishing to table the resolution was that
he feared that If 1t was passed 1t might
interfere with any suit which might be
brought by the city against Treasurer
Fresenius. He thought that If Mr..
Fresenius did not deposit the money in
the bank designated the finance board
should again figure up what was due
the city as interest and bring second
suit for that amount
A letter was received form Mr..
Fresenius in which he stated that for
sixteen months the board had said
nothing to him about depositng money
in the Tradesmens bank and that he
had been allowed to go on depositing
money In that bank. He did not sup
pose that the action of the old board
was binding on him. Now that the
board had designated to him bank of
deposit he was going to request from
the corporation counsel an opinion as
to whether he would be liable if he de-
posted money in the designated depos-
itory and that bank failed If the cor
poration counsers opinion was that he
would not be liable he would at once
begin to deposit money in the Mer-
chants bank. The letter was placed on
file
The bill of the deputy registrars for
the expense of the last registration of
voters, 1880 was approved. The bill
for election expenses amounting to ST.

was returned unapproved with the in
formation that ii a bill for $40 was APP
proved by the registrars it would be ap-
proved by the finance board
