BONDS TAKEN AT LOW RATE
City Council Succeeded in Selling
Sewer Bonds at a Very Low
Rate of Interest.

The city council held a special
meeting Saturday evening for the
purpose of opening bids tor the si0,-
GOO sever bonds and Tor laying water
mans north of the Omaha railroad.
There were - bids presented for the
100000 bonds, Trowbridge and NiVer
Coo! Chicago. having two bids, one at
) per cent with sl,755 premium and
the other at AZ per cert with SO. 90
premium. 1t was the opinion of
some members of tue council that the
first Ind OF > per cent and 81, 155 pre-
miuu would be the best Oh account
OF the large premium which would 20
into the city treasury and could be
used to pay outstanding interest.
But on further consideration it was
shown that by accepting the AZ per
cent bid So, 900, would be saved in in
terest il the bonds run for 20 years.
The sl755 premium with the 5 per
cent bonds would be paid out imme-
diately so could not be allowed to
draw interest for the city. The ac-
cepting of the AZ bonds practically
shows a saving OF $4,000 TO the city if
the bonds run 20 years. The second
bid was accepted and The bonds were
sold to Trowbridge \ Nivel Co. at
~ per cent interest payable seui
annually. Not alone does the saving
of interest mean a great deal 70
Mitchell but the fact that the bonds
We're sold for ~ per cent puts our
city on a financial standing equal
with the great cities of the country
and far anead of other cities in the
state. 1t gives US a financial stand
ing consistent with our growth and
prosperity and the size OF II city.
The council rendered a vote Of
thanks to w. A. Heimberger, for it
was through his personal efforts that
the council was successful in selling
the bonds at Az per cent as he nego-
tiated the sale and asked Messrs

JAPAN Is MODEST
IN HER DEMAND
REPORT THAT RUSSIA WILL AC-
CEPT TERMS OF PEACE.
The Hitch Will Probably Come on
the Question of Indemnity and
the Disarmament Of Her Only
Port in the Pacific Ocean.

-. Peters burg, June PA well de-
Aned report was current everywhere
lANt night, although the Associated
Press could not trace its source, that
Russia had already practically ob'
1liuco Japan's conditions, ard that
they proved SO surprisingly moderate
tnat Russia would certainly accept
them as a basis for negotiations.
There is an infinite amount Of gossip
here about Japan's terms, but it is al
most altogether irresponsible, the best
informed members of the diplomatic
corps, even the British embassy, being
convinced that while the main out
lines are matters Of common knowledge
in America and in the chancellories Of
Europe, Japan has not revealed her
exact terms, even to her ally.
Russia is not likely to be recalci-
trant. According to the best advices,
she is ready to abandon the whole OF
her Manchurian venture and give guar
antees.
The rub will come on the question OF
indemnity, which, it is the consensus
Of opinion in diplomatic circles, Japan
will exact, but if it should be made
moderate and sugar-coated SO that it
could be liquidated by the sale of the
Chinese Eastern railway and the ces-
sion Of Russian property and leases in
the Kwantung peninsula, it might be
overcome.
Russia will probably insist on hold
ing the railway to Viadivostok through
Northern Manchuria, and will never
submit to the humiliation of disarm-
ment Of her only port in the Pacific

The following are the alleged con-
ditions Of peace: An indemnity Of

sion OF Port Arthur and part of the

AGAINST AMERICA
Legation at Washington Receives
News Confirming Reported Ae-
tion Of Merchants Guild.

Washington, d. c., May 1S.-The
Chinese legation in this city has re-
Ceived advices confirming the Publish
ers Press cables that the Merchants
Guild, in China, has determined to
institute a boycott against all Ameri-
can goods until less rigorous exclusion
laws are adopted by the United States
toward Japanese merchants and lab
crers. At the legation it is said that
this will mean that not single yard
of American cotton goods, for example,
will hereafter be purchased in China.
At the state department however, 1t
is suggested that the Chinese will con-
tinue to get the American cottons by
purchasing from foreign merchants
and will pay more for them than If
they bought direct. The Chinese mer-
chants guild is, however, very power
full organization and practically con-
trolls the trade of the country, and, in
fact, even dictates to the government.
Its action, If persisted in will undoubt-
cdly affect American trade with China
to considerable extent.
