AGAIN URGE MAYORS RECALL.
Trouble. Believed Settled. Renewed by
Administrators Opposition.

Pittsburg, Kan, June 1.-The insur-
rection last week against Mayor A. c.
Graves and Commissioners William
Lanyon, James oliver and Bert A
Nichols, based upon the alleged infiu-
ence of politics in the matter of ap-
pointing police officers, which threat
ened to develop into a movement for
their recall. but which later simmered
down and was supposed to have died
a natural death, has leaped back into
life and petitions asking for the recall
of those officials are being circulated
throughout the residence sections.
1t was felt a day or two ago that
the trouble had been settled satisfac-
torily. Just what has occurred to re-
kindle the flames of opposition to the
officials is not clearly ascertainable.

WHAT HILL WILL DO.
Bond Issue Means He'll Control the
Burlington.

St. Paul, June 1.-The issue of $780,
100000 in bonds by the Great Northern
as announced by J. ]. Hill means that
a number of large projects are in pros
pect according to prominent official
who declined to allow his name to be
used. First it means the taking up of
1890, 100000 of gold bonds of the Great
Northern, including $22, 400, 600 in bonds
of the Burlington road for which the
Great Northern is responsible. Accord
ing to this official it also means that
the Great Northern will take over the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad,
separating it from the Northern Pa
cif1c. In view of the recent opinions
Of the United States supreme court in
defining reasonable restraint it is
thought a merger of the Great North
ern and the Burlington railroad will be
deemed legal merger.
The fact that Mr.. Hill has been plan
ming on acquiring absolute control of
the Burlington, releasing the Northern
Pacific Of it's responsibility and control
of that line, has been a matter Of COM
mon gossip for some time. It has been
reported that he was simply waiting
until the time would be propitious for
the contamination of such a deal. That
may be two or three years before it
may be two or three yaers before it
can be carried through successfully but
that it is under way is regarded as GER
tain by those who have been watching
the trend Of events.

the leading physicians OF France, Eng

ed, attracted the attention Of the en-

from friends and strangers in the

spread sympathy felt for him.

any amount on anything.
