Maw Company Will Create aa Ioe f Fifty-Year Income Bonds Secured by Mortgage Covering aa Property m How Second Mortgage. Nw Yobk. The plan of reorganiza tion of the Atchison and Topeka baa been submitted by the reorganization committee. The plan contemplates a foreclosure either under the general mortgage dated October 15, 1889, or un der the second mortgage dated May 1, 1802, securing the so-called Atlantic and Pacific, and the formation by the pur- chnnera at unch a&la of n new mmninr. t it u mi. j i ii ir .i I wnfch 1 be 'reed 'rm U obligations ' the present company except such as are prior to the mortgage foreclosed or ....

The new com pany will create an issue of fifty-year income Donas secured oy a mortgage covering the same property as the new second mortgaire. The total authorized amount of such income bonds shall be j limited to $11,600,000. Such income bonds shall be entitled to 6 per cent br terest per annum, payable annually out of the net earnings.

COOPERS STBIKM. Chicago Packing Bonaee May he Com pelled to Shut Down. Ciucaoo, Tit,. Nearly all the cooper in the stock yards are on a strike. It is said that if the trouble is not speedily settled the result will be that some of the big houses will be forced to lay off their employes because of the scarcity of barrels. When the strike took place the houses were nearly all running at full capacity. The packer say it was necessary for them to make a reduction in wages. This as done three month ago, and waa general iu the yard. The coopers were not the only one who suf fered, all the other branches of the packing industry being affected alike. The coopers say thoir wagea were cut from (2.85 and (3.50 a day to (2 50 and (3.30. The reason they did not object at the time was that they thought the cut waa only temporary, and that wage would be restored as soon as warm weat her came. It is to enforce a restora tion that they struck, and they say that they will remain out until every the stock yard ia out. in SUNDAY IN THB ARMT. It Is a Day of Rett ao Far aa th Service Will Permit. . Washington, D. C. A story coming from Omaha, Neb., that Charles Ceder- quis, a private in the Second Cavalry, is under arrest waiting court-martial for refusal to participate in the target prac tice Sunday, met a very prompt denial at the War Department. The officers say the man has undoubtedly assigned a false reason for bis arrest, aa Sunday target practice is unheard of in the army, and it would decidedly be iu violation of army regulations. The United States soldier has always been exempt from any unnecessary toil on Sunday, and in that respect has much the advantage of European soldiers. Even in time of war this rule ha been observed whenever practicable, and during the late civil war i'resident Lincoln, quoting tne word oi watmngton, made a general order en ioining observance of Sunday on the of ficers and men of the army, and the spirit oi una order sua pervade the service. Conn of Tenement. Nw Yobk. The tenement-house cen sus, taken nnder direction of the Board of Health during the past two months, has been completed. The census shows there are 30,133 tenement houses in the twenty-four wards of this city, of which number 2,346 are rear house. The pop ulation of the tenement-house district is 1,332.773, of which 180,309 are children less than five years of age. Rear houses contain no less than 50,130 persons, in cluding 8,784 children under five years, who must exist with little or no chance for sunlight or fosh air. The Twelfth Ward is the most densely populated, there being 252.331 persons packed - in 7,702 houses, of which seventeen are rear tenements. The greatest number of rear tenement bouses was found in the Twen tieth Ward, there being 341 out of a to tal of 2.830 in the ward. The ward has a tenement-house population of 80,499, including 8.121 children under five years of age, while the population of the rear houses is 6,977, including 651 children nnder five years of age. A certainty of having the milk of fifty cows and the promise of 300 later on if the venture is a success is not enough to start a creamery or cheese factory on. It would be difficult to make it a success with that number of cows and to pay fair wage to a skillful butter or cheese maker. Nor can a encceas be made by hiring cheap or unskilled labor. Three hundred cow should be had at first, un less some one desires to run it a season as an experiment or to learn th busi naaa and would work at low wage.

E. L. Corthell, civil engineer, stated a break water at Santa Monica would cost (3, 729,199, while he quoted the report of the Board of Engineer showing the cost at San Pedro would be (4.845.440. En gineer Ramond spoke on the Sau Pedro site. The Attorney-General of the United States haa instructed Acting United States District Attorney Piatt of the southern district of New York to at once institute suit in that district before Dis trict Judge Wallace against the Northern Commercial Company to recover (132,000 for the laet three years' rent and premi um on seal skins due to the government from the company. This action is taken by mutual consent of the contending parlies. There are indication that Ezeta'a case will cause onr. government to as sume a definite position in the matter of the right of asylum. Although the Salvadorian refugees, with one excep tion, are safe on board the Bennington. the Salvadorian provisional government determined to press its demand for the surrender of Ueneral Antonio .zeta, Vice-President of the late government. it Is likely that tlie other relugees will not be included in the demand. The prediction that the reform insM tnted by the Democratic administration of the pension bureau would result in covering into the treasnry at the end of the fiscal year several million of dollar ia about to be realised. Commissioner Lochren ha had prepared a careful esti mate showing that the surplus will be (25,000.000. Commissioner Lochren's es timate for pension disbursement in the fiscal year 1895 has been reduced from (165,000,010 to (140,000.000, so that the coming year's disbursement will effect a saving equal to another Z&,uou,uuu. The details of the Nicaragua canal bill, which will be reported to the House, were practically closed up at a meeting of the subcommittee the other day. There will be recommended a directorate of eleven members, eight beinggovemmentdirect ora. one representative of the company. one from Nicaragua and one from Costa Kica. Three government engineer will have charge of the work. It will be pro vided that dividends shall not exceed 5 per cent, so that a sinking fund may be established. The government share of dividends will be credited to a sinking fund. Some members of the committee think the debt can be raised in twenty. five years on the lines laid down. Bond were practically decided upon for the whole amount, as the proposition to com silver involved troublesome complica tion and opposition. However, that section of the bill is subject to change: so that, if any plan involving the use of silver seems practicable, it can be adopted. a n: .1 tvi j t..i. vuniin D. vim. vi iuccwwu lark. Pa., has been before the Congressional Committee investigating the armor plate frauds. , He was associated with C. E. Sill in giving the main in forma. tion of irregularities at the Carnegie works. Craig's evidence waa much like that recently given by Sill and corrob orative of it, lie testified that he made reports of the work on armor plates from the workmen's slate giving the actual work done. The reports were submitted to Superintendent Kline, who changed them to bring the work within the government contract. The altered reports were then furnished to the government officers. Craig gave from U note book a list of platea which had been doctored after they had been turned over to the government as test plates. He gave details of the retreat ment of each plate. Many of them were retreated after the government had rejected them. He testified that he had been instructed by Superintendent Kline to bum the original records showing the real work done. Craig said that while assistant heater he observed much surreptitious work on the plates. He gave the technical details of these ir regularities. This waa done without the knowledge of the Government offirwra. and waa to deceive them. The capacity of the Carnegie works waa not sufficient to do the work properly. He had heard Kline complain to Assistant Manager Hnnaicker that saore fnrnacea were nec essary. Mr. Craig Identified a number of alterations in report-made by Super- luwiHiiui auiain. A LONDON SENSATION. Diamond Stocks Among the Rothschilds Securities. PREMIER RHODES' DECLARATION a Claim Tbnt Secretary Carll.to Prom ised That the Senate Woald Modify the High Duty Fat oa Diamonds In the Wllaoa Tariff Blil. . Londok. Senator Teller's proposed high tariff on diamonds is causing a sen sation here, where the Rothschilds have recently bonded four and s half millions sterling (nearly 120,000,000) of bonds for the South American Diamond Trust. Besides these bonds the Rothschilds are known to be very largely interested in the stocks of the Diamond Trust. The proposed high tariff would produce a great fall in the value of the immense stock of unsold diamonds on hand and greatly reduce the dividends to holders of the trust's stocks, which for years past haa been 25 per cent. A cable re ceived by the officials of the trust from Premier Rhodes of Cape Colony, it ia stated, declare that Secretary Carlisle promised last March that the Senate would moony tne duty put on diamond when the Wilson bill passed the House. Teller's amendment increasing the duty to 30 per cent ia regarded a a blow aimed by the leader of the American j free-silver men at the Rothschilds, the leading banker in Europe, who have I done so much to maintain the single I oold mnnetnrr standard. The Colorado Senator and ex-Speaker Reed have con sidered various forma ef discriminating duties against those countries wnicn op pose an international agreement for free use ot silver.
