gan Central 100000 and the Lake Shore $15000,0

for some time there has been speculation as TO
the probable nature Of the bonds which must be
issued that date to provide for their retire

The Michigan Central. it is said. will issue about
$4,000 600 debentures. out of which the notes will
be paid off, and an issue of S1506G0O Grand River

CALLS ORDER ILLEGAL.
admiral Co5cles Objects to Part
of DIR. Neuberrus Plans.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington, April Rear Admiral Cowles
chief Of the bureau OF equipment, submitted to the
Secretary OF the Navy to-day brief setting forth
that portion of the so-caIed midnight orders of
Secretary Newberry Illegal and would involve
the department in difficulties with the Controller Of
the Treasury Admiral Cowles maintains that the
Newberry system. whereby the chief Of navigation
approves acquisitions for coal and the paymaster
general obtains bids, awards contracts and dis
burses the money, is contrary TO the intent OF Con-
gress. which specifically appropriated funds with
view to their disbursement by the bureau of equip
ment. It is improbable, however that Secretary
Meyer will make any change in the existing regula-
ton pending the report OF the special board of
which Admiral Sperry is the president
The Sperry board has adjourned until next week
In order that fits members may become familiar with
the new regulations. When they meet Mr. Meyer
VIII probably lay before them Admiral Cowless
brief, which may ultimately be referred to the At
torney General for decision.
Admiral Cowles further maintains that the trans
fer Of the supervision of construction. development
and maintenance of the naval coal depots from
the bureau Of equipment to that of navigation is
without legal authority. As result Of this conten-
ton the awarding of the contract for nearly
$4,000 for the construction of coal shed az a
point on San Francisco Bav has been indefinitely
postponed. This postponement IS the occasion OF
no little anxiety to those bidders whose bonds or
certified checks held by the department pending
the award.

against the foreign cars had been that American

that he purposed to show that the Simplex could

that the rules We're eminently satisfactory to him

Rev. Cox who has so ably fill

will be succeeded by Rev. Hen

departure we certainly lose a
good man. He came to this
charge four years ago when the
membership Of the Methodist
church was about sixty, and by
his untiring efforts and honest
work, has brought the member
ship of the present day to over
one hundred and sixty. During
his stay with US as pastor he has
made many warm friends who
are sorry to see his work cease
in our community. as whatever
they found him doing it was al
ways in Christian spirit Most
of the old members have made
the statement and also the
church record shows, that dur
ing the past four years the
church has been in the best cir
cumStances ever known to be,
and is in better condition than
any other M. E. church of it's
size in the Northwest Kansas
conference. Much of this de-
ponds upon the pastor, and if

we have no doubt but what he
will be, we certainly will have no
