The conve ntion was called to order

After an adjournment for dinner,
the commissioner again convened
ready for business. Promptly at 1

fore the commissioners and requested
the privilege of explaining council bill

a bill in relation to bonding the coun-
ties to release their indebtedness.
Mr. Vanarsdale discussed the bill
very intelligently and mggested that
the indebtedness be. paid from a sink-
ing fund without the necessi ty of issu-
ing bonds.
Air. tucL>owell, of Ivingsher, said it
all tended to the same thing whether
bonds or sinking fund. You could
wind a string with your left hand
your riirht hand, you wound the string ' t on
jmt the same. A rose by another
name smelled just the sane.
Judge James, of Gat tit id county,
expressed it as his opinion that the
passage of this act did not compel any
particular county to bond unless they
so saw lit to do so, but it would enable
these counties that
do so.
The bill was recommended for pas
sage by the legislature.
Council bill No. 90, "an act regulat-
ing the sessions of the county commis-
sioners, their time of meeting, length
of sessions, etc.," was next under con-
sideration.
fc. Mr. Olmstead,of Noble county,spoke
in favor of the bill.

boards of county commissioners of Ok

way and manner to final passage

territory, whose duty it shall be

sion to the end of such needed legisla
The chair appointed Messrs. Jame
of Garfield; Overholser of Oklahoma
and Stapleton, of Logan, as such com
mittce.
Senator Tankersley of Payne ad-
dressed the convention on the bond
question and stated that he was not
wished to bond to in f.ivor of bonding any of the coun
ties, lie also stated that some of the
salaries of the officers were too higli
and the expenses too heavy. lie did
not favor bonding but did favor the
cutting down expenses.

extended to Senators Scott, Fegan
and Tankersley for their suggestions

ry ought to have more time to do busi
ness if they needed it.
HMr. Thomas moved that the bill pass
except that the time be doubled* for
the session of the commissioners. The
bill was recommended for passage by
the legislature.
The committee now reported on
council bill No. 1, to regulate he fees
ftid salaries of count otlicers and other
purposes. The committee reported
that the section in regard to the fees
of sheriff be as follows: "Resolved,
that the fees of sheriff be all allowed
and that he shall pay all deputies out
of said fees. Also that all delinquent
taxes shall be put up and sold at auc
tion and sold the same as delinquent
real estate, the sheriff to get a fee for
selling the same."
Mr. Maxey, of Garfield, moved that
bill be endorsed in general.
Mr. Owen?, of Kay, favored the en
dorsement of the bill.
The bill was endorsed and recom
mended for passage.
Mr. Overholser, of Oklahoma county,
then called the attention of the com
commissioners to C. li No. 24. to de
fine contempts of court and to pre-
scribe penalties for the same. On mo-
tion the bill was endorsed without
discussion.
C. li. iNo. 30, "To provide for the re
moval and suspension of county and
city officers." The bill was read by
sections and recommended for pass-
age.
Judge James, of Garfield, now called
the attention of the convention to C.
B. No. 53, providing for juries in the
iistrict and probate courts and pre-
scribing the manner of summoning
them. The bill was recommended for
passage without discussion.
C. H. No. 22, limiting the sessions of
grand juries. The bill was recom
mended by amending the bill to read
seven days instead of twenty at a con-
tinuous sitting.
Judge James of Garfield introduced
the following resolution, "Resolved,
that this body recommend that the
legislature of Oklahoma Territory
enact a proper statute limiting th<
liability of counties for fees in crim-
inal prosecutions in sums not to 'ex-
ceed as follows:
District court. 8200 oer annum.
Probate court, #200 per annum.
Sheriffs and deputies in any one
people were aware of and deserved
much credit for t'.ieir latftns and
should be paid accordingly.
The convention adjourned to meet
at 0:30 in the morning, and attend the
legislature in a body.
AieKNING SESSION.
The commissioners met this morn-
ing and proceeded with the business
on hand.
Mr. VVm. Tomkins, of Oklahoma
•ounty, arrived this morning and re-
ported for duty.
After the usual routine work, the
matter of pay for court stenographers
came up for consideration and a reso-
lution was passed asking the legisla-
ture to so amend the present law as to
place these claims on the same basis
as other claims, and have them aud-
ited and allowed by the county com-
missioners and to be paid in county
warrants, also to limit to county's lia-
bility in such cases.
On motion the organization was
made permanent. An executive com-
mittee of three, consisting of Messrs.
Atherton, of Logan; James, of (Jar-
field, and Weir, of Payne, with full
power to act in regard *o matter per-
taining to permanent matters, such as
time and place of next meeting.
Thanks were voted to the Logan
county commissioners and the city of
Guthrie f >r the courtesy and hospital-
ity extended.
On motion the convention adjourned

committee.

will offer as a substitute for the ad-
ministration scheme if he thinks hi«

poses to restrict the law of is:;, which
authorises the secretary of the treas-

ness to pay current expenses, the cer-
tificates to be iu sums of $2.1, #50 and
8100, and any multiples thereof, bear-
ing interest at H per cent, and payable
in coin. The bill, as Mr. Ueed ex-
plained to the republicans whose sup-
port he sought, is but a temporary ex-
pedient to cover the present distress.

provisions of the administration plan
is expected to win for it toleration, if
not support, of the free silver men,
who bitterly oppose all propositions to

in favor of gold, it is comparatively

mend the bill to the house in prefer-
ence to more complex plans.
TIIK PACIFIC RAILROADS.
U Asm.No ton, Feb. 0.—Senator llrice
said yesterday that he was convinced
that a proposition from the govern-
ment to take a certain amount of
money, say j-:;,.000,000, for its claim
against the Pacific railroads would be
accepted by the various companies in-
terested. Since the defeat of the Ucilly
bill in the house the senator l-dieve,
that this is the most probable aud
feasible outcome of this long ami seri-
ou < difficulty. The senator says he re-
gards this as the best way out of it for
the government. The sum of S7. .ooo,-
000 is mentioned because that is about
the amount of the priucipal owed to
the government by all « f the roads of
the middle Pacific system. Of course,
in accepting such a plan the govern-
ment would completely throw away
immense sums of interest which it has
paid upon these government bonds,
but the outlook for regaining the full
amount due it is now hopeless or else
so involved iu endless difficulty us to
be well-nigh hopeless. And, moreover,
the government has benefited to a
great extent by the building of this
first transcontinental line and can well
afford to pay something for the benefit
.lerivcd.
