TUE O31AJIA DAILY J3EE : F1UDAY -J , 18JS. ) 9 001 PAUL'S ' SIDE PARTNER He Hails from Ireland and Controls an Effective Pull , POLITICAL POWER OF PETER GILLINGHAM llc Helped Tito ToIIUK Amer ican * to Interview 1'rcnlilcnt KrtiKcr Ilrlit In High Kxtccni liy ( lie Dutch. President Kruger of the Transvaal Is a man who may be classed as approachable with limitations. Through all seasons ho rises In the morning nt 6:30 : o'clock , and Immediately fortifies himself with a cup of ntrong black coffee , so hot that , to use n tropical simile of the old burghers , It will burn the hair off a Hon. After this ho reads the Blblo nnd prays exhaustively , some of his most Intimate friends at times joining In the orisons. Then the president la ready to hold an Informal levco on the quaint little - tlo veranda , up the posts of which creep uleopy-looklng nasturtiums and varl-colorej morning glories. From C:20 : to 7:30 : o'clock Mr. Kruger sits In a rocking chair , giving rapid little puffn at a meerschaum pipe , filled with Boer to bacco , sometimes talking very rapidly , with a semi-sputter to ono of his executive coun cil on state affairs ; sometimes lapsing Into silence , his eyes narrowed to a mere glint , and ngaln reaching forward his puffy little right band , which Is minus a thumb , to greet an old Boor who may have trekked eighty I miles and camped over night In the church square In order to consult oem ( uncle ) Paul about something of vital Interest to the rural population. In this respect Mr. Krugor baa not departed from the pastoral and patriarchal government under which the Boera lived when they made their "great trek" from Capo Colony In 1833 , on whlcu expedition tbo little band killed 0,000 lions , and fought Innumerable battles with the savages. And It Is for this reason that he is loved so much by the old Boers. Mr. Kruger , however , makes ono excep tion to the gucHla at hla early levee , and that Is newspaper correspondents. Ho will occasionally talk with a representative of the Johannesburg Standard and Diggers' Nowe , the Pretoria Press or the Volksteln , all of which papers are subsidized by the Transvaal government , but for the corre spondents of foreign papers It Is next to Impossible to gain an audience and secuiu an Interview. Mr. Ellcrthorpo of the London Dally Tele graph and a representative of Black nnd White had been working unsuccessfully for two months to this end when the writer reached Pretoria , though they wore handi capped by Mr. Krugor'a Intcn&o dlsllko for everything English , eo Intense that he will not allow the language to bo taught In tbo Boer schools. It was therefore with no llttlo misgiv ing that wo set out to accomplish this de sideratum , which had been on our minds over since leaving Now York , thrco months before , and which was brought about by a man who occupies euch a unique position In the Transvaal government that ho Inter ested us cqualry with Kruger himfielf. Home of the HCIHH. Living In a modest .frame house , the front part of whloh Is occupied by li bakeahop and confectionery counter , holding no position other than Justice of the peace , and not even having the merit of being a native Boer or Hollander , this man wields an Influence equaled by no other resident In the Trans vaal. Ho Is , In fact , the political boss of the South African republic. Ho Is consulted ty nearly all the members of the raad , In both the progressive and conservative par ties , advises the executive council and Is per sona grata with President Kruger , who treats him as his most Intimate friend and looks to him for clever ndvlco In ticklish political crisis. And yet Mr. Peter Gllllngham claims allegiance only to Ireland , though ho speaks the Dutch language fluently and Is heart and hand with the Boers lu their differences with the English. Ho has been In the Transvaal thirteen years , going there from Capo Colony in the capacity of a general speculator. How well bo has succeeded In this no ono knows , tout I'rctorlans say that behind the counters where he dispenses ginger cakes and bread , Mr. P. Gilllugham , Urldes , nnd It was only after considerable ecarch ttiat McDrldo tbo wolghmastor was located In the second level , 2,000 feet below the surface , whither the American manager gave us permission to descend on a past.cn- Ber car. Tbli was not an Inviting expedition find It was rather discouraging after the run , to have Mr. McDrlde tell us he could not fur nish the Introduction. "I will give you a loiter to McCann , though , " he offered , "ana he will send you to Ollljigham ) nnd Ollllug- hnm owns Ooirt Paul , " Mct'ium the 1'iillor. Our next step toward securing the Inter view , therefore , was to meet Mr. K. C. Mc Cann , proprietor of a little tailor shop , near the Uarnato buildings In Johannesburg , fcnd the reception accorded us there nearly turned us from our purpose. Neither of the two employes at work on the counter looUr.U at'or spoke to us for some time. "What do you want , " finally Inquired a large man , with Immense shoulders and a forbidding face. "Wo want to see Mr. McCann , " we replied modestly. "Wo have a letter from the na tional alliance In New York. We're good Irishmen and wish to get an Introduction to Mr. Kruger through him. " At this there was a great clatter In an adjoining room and from the doorway emerged a tall man with an exceedingly red nose , a gray dragoon mustache and envel oped In a long frock coat. "I'm McCann , the tailor , " he said , looking at us keenly. "Who arc you ? " Hut without giving us a chance to answer he snapped up the two letters and disappeared In the street. Astonishment gave way to anger at this shabby treatment and we were on the point of giving vent to the latter when the tailor attracted our attention from the opposite corner by winking violently and beckoning. "You never want to make a break Ilko that , " ho eald angrily. "It you arc good Irishmen , as you Bay you are , you ought to know that the English government has spies all through the Transvaal and you never know who you are talking to. " With that he led the way to a 'basement ' saloon on Com mtssloner street , selecting a email room In the rear. "Ben , " he said to a tough-looking citizen , who answered the electric summons , "you see these gentlemen ? Well , lock the door on the outsldo and don't let them out until I glvo the word. "Now , " he continued , turning to us , "what's your game ? If you think you can como It over old McCann , why guess again. You are no more Irishmen than the prince of Wales. Your names are not Irish , neither are your faces. You are spies , by God ! and you've come here to find out how strong the alliance Is In Johannesburg. Well , you got In the wrong shaft. I don't require a etono house to fall on mo before 1 tum ble. " Thnt'fl Different. It was not until wo admitted that none of our ancestors had ever seen Ireland that the eccentric old tailor's eye softened and a genial smile illumined his face. "Now , boys , " ho eald , "that's different. I see your game. All you want Is to meet Oem Paul through Irish Influence. You're straight Americans , which Is something un usual to eeo down here. I like you , and It you como to my store In two days I'll have the way prepared. " McCann's preparation consisted In writing to the "boss , " who undertook the mission , apparently , with the impression that It eomo way It was all for the good of "old Ireland. " The tailor gave us our creden tials and bid us goodby , with the parting Injunction : "For heaven's eake , don't ro- fufio coffee , should the president offer it , even If It scalds you speechless. " "Boss" Gllllngham is the busiest man In the Transvaal. We had been In Pretoria two days before we found him at home. In compaby with numerous speculators and foreign agents wo haunted the sign of "P. Gllllngham , Baker , " underneath which 'is another legend In smaller type , "And Jus tice of the Peace. " One of the men was from Dayton , O. , and sought Gllllngham's Influence to sell Oem Paul a phaeton. Another represented an American marble firm and he wanted to build a mausoleum for the president and his family. Gome of them had already seen and talked with this influential "fixer" and testi fied that ho was no myth , as wo had con cluded after being told continually that he was "not at home" or "had a meeting to at tend. " Eventually we were ushered through the bakery Into a small sitting room , where the president's right bower receives all his PETER GIL LIN'GHAM. Irishman and Boer , caresses a goodly for tune , which ho has acquired by brisk Celtic hustle , coupled with the advantages provided iiy the patrpnago of the president. On leaving New York for a tramp through South Africa \vi\h \ a fellow newspaper man on a very Ihrtlted capital , ono of the most Important points , as It seemed to us , wan to secure Just such an Interview with Oem Paul. Several foreign consuls offered to give us letters to their representatives In tbo Transvaal , tint could not promise that they were In such close touch with the Grand Old Man of South Africa as to Insure us a wclcomo reception. In this predicament wo wcro directed to C. O'Connor ( McLaughlln , a well-known New York journalist , at that tlmo secretary ot the Irish National Alliance , who , looking over a llmo-worn volume on his desk , found the name of McDrlde. 'Hew Is a man , " said he , "who will put you on the right track. Our directory gives him as a welghmastcr In the mines of tbo I.andlaagta estate , two rulloa from Johannes burg , near tbo Simmer and Jack I have no Idea where that Is , anil I nevtr heard of the man , but U you give him this IctUr and tell him you are a good Irishman he'll get > ou the Introduction , for we nro very strong In that country. " It was not such an easy matter to find McDrldo after getting to Johannesburg. Even after the I.andlaagto bad been located it srrmrd to be operated entirely by Me- V callers , and met a man with keen blue eyes , light hair , mustache and chin beard , ot well-set figure , square shoulders and speak ing good , pure Kngltsh. lie greeted us warmly and got right down to business. "I've told His Honor about you , " ha said , "and ho Is anxious to meet you. If you will come to my house at C o'clock tomorrow morning I'll take you down and you can talk to him as long as he desires. He's In a good humor now and will talk 1C you know your business. " Qllllngham was not disposed to speak of himself and evaded all questions bearing on politics , but told us with no llttlo pride thai ho was but 39 years old. Ho was torn at the Cape , ot Irish parents , and there ab sorbed the customs of the Dutch so thor oughly that he Is regarded In Pretoria as a stanch burgher and good Dutchman. Set-ret of HH 1'opulnrlty. Though born under the English flag he hag no love for It , and that Is the secret of his popularity with President Kruger , who. though n mighty shrewd old hunter and politician , has points of weak ness bordering on fatuity. Ollllngham made bis first coup with Kruger at the time ot the Jamison raid , when Eng land threatened to wipe out the little re- ptfbllc. With the hosts of England arrayed against the Transvaal , and no friends , this plucky Irishman got together some of bis countrymen and offered to raise a regiment to fight for It against the Drttlsh. Further more , ho communicated with Irishmen In \tncrlca nnd proposed that they arm and equip forces to send down to aid the Doers. Oem Paul , who Is Just as generous ns ho Is vindictive , was qulto overcome by this offer , and he has ever since Kept a warm spot In his heart for the Irish. Moro than this , however , Ollllngham hna 1 long head , knows when to tulvlse , whdn o keep quiet , and Is so genial and adaptable that he IB always "In tbo know. " This Is appreciated by Oem Paul , to whom the Itlshman Is loyal , for such Is the political strife In the Transvaal , that Kruger Is often at a loss to know whom to trust. Oilllngham has no other position than jus- .Ice of the peace , seeks for no public honors , la never written nbout and posca as a strictly neutral person. In this ca pacity Kruger accepts his advice on the most Important national and International questions , and the only way ho prollts is : iy concessions. Concessions are granted for the moit ab surd purposed. Ono man has the exclusive right to make Jam In the Transvaal. The dynamite concessionaires give the govern ment five shillings on each cnsc and clear about CO shillings. Such a high duty is put upon the American article , which Is vastly superior In quality , ns to practically exclude it. The unsubsldizcd press IE very bitter against Mr. Kruger on account of this concession business nnd goes no far ns to ask how the president could amass n fortune of Moro than $1,000,000 on a salary of 7,000 , nnd how his son-in-law , Klolf , could build a $250,000 palace on no salary. Ollllngham Is In the front rank ot con cessionaires and It was one of these con cessions that kept him engaged whllo we were there. Among the questions put to Mr. Krugpr In our Interview was the following : "Are you not afraid that , without a sea port , the English will starve you out ? " "If God wills It , " he replied , "they c.in do It. If not , the English might build a wall around us high as Jericho and we would live comfoltably. " At this ho looked to the wily Irishman as though for assent and Ollllngham Informed us later that Mr. Kruger was greatly delighted at his prop osition to erect hugo cold storage ware houses , wherein 23,000 beeves could be stored a safeguard against being starved SOME OLD TIME ROAD RACES Reminiscences of Warm Brushes Between Noted Horses and Drivers , LOWERING THE SIX-IN-HAND RECORD t .N.

Mr. Fuller said the other day : i i "I bcllevo that six horses can be made to' ' ' trot n nillo in 2-15 or better , and that I own the six horses that can do It. But since it Is rather costly , both lu time and money , to train six horses to do their best , I should to Fuller George again. Then ho began to I gain , Inch by Inch , Inch by Inch.

"Commodore Vanderbllt , though a skilled rclnsnian , was the most reckless driver oh the road In the old Harlem lane days , and his collisions with other drivers were fre quent. "Tho narrowest escape of my life was when the commodore ran Into me. 1 wua driving n single horse. Ho was driving Mountain Maid nnd Mountain Boy. He was going up the lane nnd I was coming down , I first saw him whizzing along like a streak o.1 greased lightning two or three blocks away , his horse swaying from side to side. ' As near ns I could tell ho was duo to bo on my side of the road about the time wo were to meet nnd I looked for trouble. So f % r did my horse , and It was hard work to keep him from turning short about and upsetting mo right there.

The first question asked us by President Kruger when wo finally reached him 'was : "Aro ydtf from Tlhbdcs ? " Ho looked "at'us rather sharply from the silt of , ono eye , embedded in puffy flesh , seamed with wrin kles , and wo hastened to reply In the nega tive. "They're both good Irishmen , " added Gllllngham , and tbo half dozen members of the raad , Paymaster General Van Alpen , Commissioner of Mines Kroeblcr and Com missioner of War Smldt , all of whom came along to hear the interview , laughed heartily. "What's your religion ? " was the next question , and this put us for a moment In a trance , from which wo were extricated again by the Irishman's wit. "The Reformed church is very strong In Now York , " ho ob served carelessly as a cue. We remembered then that the president Is a most bigoted Dutch Reformer and explained to him that while an American newspaper man's re ligious views must necessarily be very clas tic , we were at the present moment stanch Dutch Reformer. At this Oem Paul puffed fast , smiled wide and eventually chuckled , whereupon took occasion at Gllllngham's suggestion to ply him with a volley of questions. At the end of the Interview we hardly know which In terested us most , the shrewd old Boer or the clever young Irishman , who seemed to un derstand each other thoroughly. Gllllnghara lives in more simplicity even than Mr. Kruger , who dines with his coach man. His two sons , Joseph and Parnell , attend the town school ( though Mr. Gllllng ham intends giving them a college educa tion ) and they may bo seen at times behind the counter. Gllllngham lives plainly and dines plainly , his only Indulgence being good cigars and a fine pair of horses. His team is usually on the go all day , for he is In no one place for many minutes. Ho Is closeted with Mr. Kruger more frequently than anyone else and. the president often calls at the bakeshop and chats In the rear room with the proprietor about doings In the raad. Though seldom seen actively engaged in his place of business nowadays , no false pride absents Gllllngham , and when we called in the evening to bid him farewell ho was engaged in wrapping up some hot buns for a comely Boer maiden. Ho looked at us with a benign smile , shook hands warmly , and then tipped an almighty shrewd wink , as though ho would say : "It's a smart man who can tell a valuable diamond In the rough.

Judging from the crowd that witnessed my record-breaking performance of 1S9C at old Fleetwood Park , the men who put up the $5,000 need not run the slightest risk or loss , for they could fully recoup themselves from the gate money.

I have now found the horse and my team will bo made up In this way : Snip nnd Wlfkea , leaders ; Flora and a mare I call Josephine , In the middle , and Flcotwood and Fleet- wing at the wheels. I haven't the slightest doubt that this team will bo able to better the old record. " \VUrii Viillcr Ilent VimuVrlillt. Mention of the lamented Dexter , named for the famous trotter of that name owned by Robert Bonner , always awakens a train of reminiscences In Mr. Fuller's mind. "I thought a good deal fof Dexter , " be snld , "but I thought moro of his elre , Putter George. I have owned scores of good lively steppers , but Fuller George was the best one of them all. Ho was true as steel. His temper was perfect. He waa never In bad condition. Ho was positively the pret tiest horie I ever saw. Best of all , he was never beaten on the road. "I shall never forget the day ho out- trotted Small Hopes , driven on old Harlem lane by Commodore Vanderbllt. Any oM- timer will tell you that Small Hopes was one of the crack steppers of his day , his track record being 2:18V4. : My Fuller George had no track record. None of my horses have been track horaea , slnco my only ob ject In owning fast horses has been that I might win pleasure and health by Jrlvlng them. But Fuller George was a better footer than. Small Hopes , as I proved to the commodore one pleasant June morning about twenty-flvo years ago. "A good many of the commodore's friends bail told him that Small Hopes was all right , but ho wasn't In tbo came class as Fuller George. Vanderbllt pooh-poohed at that , of course. But. all the same , ho understood full well that his horse must beat mine or be beaten sooner or later and so ho was on the lookout for me. "As I drove down the lane that morning I saw the commodore sitting up stiff and straight behind his pride and joy , and I no ticed that be had his eye on uie and my horse. Small Hopes had his eye peeled , too. Highbred horses know when their drivers are getting ready to speed them as well as the drivers do , and Small Hopes was per fectly aware that he wau about to bo tested. I was ready , of course , and EO was my horse. But , as I wished to beat the commodore In my own way , I let him drive up alongside mo and get almost a length ahead. "When the hind wheels of his wagon were about even with Fuller George's head I stirred him up a little. Not by yelling nt him or by using the whip. I just telegraphed along the reins by a slight pressure of ( he left llttlo finger. My horse knew what that meant , nnd from that on the commodore could not Increase the lead. The race was fairly begun at Ono Hundred and Forty- fifth street and It lasted till wo reached One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Just a mile. "Tbo old Harlem club house stood at One Hundred and Thirty-third street and a short time before we arrived there I telegraphed things my horse and Mountain Boy came to gether so hard that It knocked the breath out of both of them. "Vnnderbllt's rig was all smashed up and I thought the commodore was killed , sure. Ho went right down among the horses , bead first , with his feet in the 'air nnd yelling like n wild Indian. The shock knocked him senseless. The wagon was not damaged be yond the springing of the front axletree and my horse was injured so llttlo that I was able to drive him home. They carried the commodore to the clubhouse nearby anil brought him to. As i.oon as ho opened his eyes be nsked for mo. " 'Ob , Fuller has driven home , ' they told him. him."What "What did IIP say ? Nothing. Ho wasn't a. man of many words nt any time , and be had some hard thinking to do just then. He never spoke about tbo accident to me. " Homier anil Ileeuhor. Mr. Fuller -Is almost the solo active sur vivor of the famous drivers on the fane In Its palmy days. Russell Sago used to drlvo there a good deal then , and so did the Harpers nnd Robert Bonner. But the driv ing Harpers , like Commodore Vanderbllt , have long been dead. Sago is still with us In tbo flesh , but his present driving tame In comparison with that of the old times. Bonner Is nllve , too , but he doesn't drlvo much on Manhattan island nowadays. "Bonner was ono of the best drivers I ever knew , " Bays Mr. Fuller , "and he drove for pure pleasure. But a moro awkward driver never handled the ribbons. That was because ho didn't learn to drlvo when be wau young. Ho .never couM hold his hands gracefully. All tbo same , the most Impressive eight I remember on the lane was Bonner driving Peerless over Its whole length ono day with Henry Ward Bcecber on the scat beside him. Peerless waa In mighty fit condition that day and he got over the ground In record-breaking time. Bonner was clearly Intoxicated with de light as the splendid horse came down the road at whirlwind speed. Beecher's face fairly glowed with excitement. His eyes were like stars and his long gray hair floated out In the breeze like the pennant of a crack man-of-war going at full speed In a gale of wind. "Beccher was writing for the Independent at that time and the next week's Issue bad an article from his pen defending the speed ing of horses. It was really a description ol that drlvo down the lane behind Peerless , nnd It was such a beautiful piece of writing that I cut It out and preserved It. Once It a while I hunt it up and read U over , and when I do I see a mental picture In which Peerless and Bonner and Beechcr arc the central figures. " To Stop it IlimiMMiy Train. Mr. Fuller has been driving over the roads of Manhattan Island for moro than forty- five years and computes that In that time bu has driven 475,000 miles. In the forty- five years he has suffered six runaways , no counting such Incidents as his collision with Commodore Vnndcrbllt. The best way to stop a runaway team , Mr. Fuller says , Is to throw the horses. "I learned that trick , " lie explained "when a boy. I was champion wrestler litho the county of Franklin , Vermont , 1 hal from. Collar and elbow was my favorite bold and constant practice at that made me strong in my arms and shoulders. You know how a man la throun In collar am elbow wrestling. All you have to do Is to pull pretty steady for a while to the rlgh and then glvo a sudden Jerk as hard as you can to the left. If you know how to do 1 you can down your man nine times In ten without tripping him. "I never thought of trying collar and elbow tactics on a runaway team till one day I got in a pretty tight place with a pali o : horses that took the bit In their teeth not many blocks away from whera I hai beaten the commodore. At first I though I could hold them , but I couldn't , and 1 began to wonder what I should do. Then I remembered how easy It used to be to yank a husky chap off his feet at collar and elbow. There was no reason why the fcchcme wouldn't work with horses as well as mej > , ( GO I pulled them steadily to the right. though gently at first. I wanted to down ( them where there wag a soft place to light and presently when I neared such a spot I let go of the off rein , grasped the nidi ono with both hands nnd brought the horses' bonds nrouii 1 with a sharp Jerk. If the rclu had broken I'd have been n goner , sure , but It stood the strain all right. Just ns I had expected , down went the team In a heap , the off horse on top. W s 1 hurt ? Well , 1 went Hying about twenty feet nnd 1 lit on my shoulders , tint I struck the soft ppot I'd been looking for and was only shaken up a mite. | "After that I Knew how best to stop n | runaway team. It make n her e feel sheepIsh - i Ish to bo thrown , nnd ho Is sure to show It In his looks , too. And the best of It Is that once throun he will never try to run away again.

TUESDAY, JUNE 18th, 1895. PAUL'S SIDE PARTNER He Hails from Ireland and Controls an Effective Pull, POLITICAL POWER OF PETER GILLINGHAM He Helped Tito Toil American to Interview President Erik the Brit in High Exhibit By the Dutch. President Kruger of the Transvaal Is a man who may be classed as approachable with limitations. Through all seasons he rises in the morning at 6:30 o'clock, and Immediately fortifies himself with a cup of strong black coffee, so hot that, to use a tropical simile of the old burghers, It will burn the hair off a Hon. After this he reads the Bible and prays exhaustively, some of his most intimate friends at times joining in the orisons. Then the president is ready to hold an informal levee on the quaint little veranda, up the posts of which creep yellow-looking nasturtiums and various-colored morning glories. From 8:20 to 7:30 o'clock Mr. Kruger sits in a rocking chair, giving rapid little puffs at a meerschaum pipe, filled with Boer tobacco, sometimes talking very rapidly, with a semi-sputter to one of his executive council on state affairs; sometimes lapsing into silence, his eyes narrowed to a mere glint, and again reaching forward his puffy little right hand, which is minus a thumb, to greet an old Boer who may have trekked eighty miles and camped over night in the church square in order to consult "uncle" Paul about something of vital interest to the rural population. In this respect Mr. Kruger has not departed from the pastoral and patriarchal government under which the Boers lived when they made their "great trek" from Cape Colony in 1833, on which expedition the little band killed 10,000 lions, and fought innumerable battles with the savages. And it is for this reason that he is loved so much by the old Boers. Mr. Kruger, however, makes one exception to the guests at his early levee, and that is newspaper correspondents. He will occasionally talk with a representative of the Johannesburg Standard and Diggers' News, the Pretoria Press or the Volkstelling, all of which papers are subsidized by the Transvaal government, but for the correspondents of foreign papers it is next to impossible to gain an audience and secure an interview. Mr. Ellerthorpe of the London Daily Telegraph and a representative of Black and White had been working unsuccessfully for two months to this end when the writer reached Pretoria, though they were handicapped by Mr. Kruger's intense dislike for everything English, so intense that he will not allow the language to be taught in the Boer schools. It was therefore with no little misgiving that we set out to accomplish this desideratum, which had been on our minds over since leaving New York, three months before, and which was brought about by a man who occupies such a unique position in the Transvaal government that he interested us equally with Kruger himself. Home of the Bishop. Living in a modest frame house, the front part of which is occupied by a bake shop and confectionery counter, holding no position other than Justice of the peace, and not even having the merit of being a native Boer or Hollander, this man wields an influence equalled by no other resident in the Transvaal. He is, in fact, the political boss of the South African republic. He is consulted by nearly all the members of the land, in both the progressive and conservative parties, advises the executive council and is persona grata with President Kruger, who treats him as his most intimate friend and looks to him for clever advice in ticklish political crises. And yet Mr. Peter Gillingham claims allegiance only to Ireland, though he speaks the Dutch language fluently and is heart and hand with the Boers in their differences with the English. He has been in the Transvaal thirteen years, going there from Cape Colony in the capacity of a general speculator. How well he has succeeded in this no one knows, but Pretorians say that behind the counters where he dispenses ginger cakes and bread, Mr. P. Gillingham, Urquhart, and it was only after considerable search that McDowel the welghmaster was located in the second level, 2,000 feet below the surface, whither the American manager gave us permission to descend on a passenger car. This was not an inviting expedition and it was rather discouraging after the run, to have Mr. McDowell tell us he could not furnish the introduction. "I will give you a letter to McCann," he offered, "and he will send you to Gillingham, and Gillingham owns Coart Paul." Our next step toward securing the interview, therefore, was to meet Mr. K.C. McCann, proprietor of a little tailor shop, near the Barnato buildings in Johannesburg, and the reception accorded us there nearly turned us from our purpose. Neither of the two employees at work on the counter looked at us for some time. "What do you want," finally inquired a large man, with immense shoulders and a forbidding face. "We want to see Mr. McCann," we replied modestly. "We have a letter from the national alliance in New York. We're good Irishmen and wish to get an introduction to Mr. Kruger through him." At this there was a great clatter in an adjoining room and from the doorway emerged a tall man with an exceedingly red nose, a gray dragoon mustache and enveloped in a long frock coat. "I'm McCann, the tailor," he said, looking at us keenly. "Who are you?" But without giving us a chance to answer he snapped up the two letters and disappeared in the street. Astonishment gave way to anger at this shabby treatment and we were on the point of giving vent to the latter when the tailor attracted our attention from the opposite corner by winking violently and beckoning. "You never want to make a break like that," he said angrily. "If you are good Irishmen, as you say you are, you ought to know that the English government has spies all through the Transvaal and you never know who you are talking to." With that he led the way to a basement saloon on Commissioner street, selecting a small room in the rear. "Ben," he said to a tough-looking citizen, who answered the electric summons, "you see these gentlemen? Well, lock the door on the outside and don't let them out until I give the word. "Now," he continued, turning to us, "what's your game? If you think you can come it over old McCann, why guess again. You are no more Irishmen than the prince of Wales. Your names are not Irish, neither are your faces. You are spies, by God! and you've come here to find out how strong the alliance is in Johannesburg. Well, you got in the wrong shaft. I don't require a stone house to fall on me before I tumble." That's Different. It was not until we admitted that none of our ancestors had ever seen Ireland that the eccentric old tailor's eye softened and a genial smile illumined his face. "Now, boys," he said, "that's different. I see your game. All you want is to meet Coart Paul through Irish influence. You're straight Americans, which is something unusual to see down here. I like you, and if you come to my store in two days I'll have the way prepared." McCann's preparation consisted in writing to the "boss," who undertook the mission, apparently, with the impression that it somehow was all for the good of "old Ireland." The tailor gave us our credentials and bid us goodbye, with the parting injunction: "For heaven's sake, don't refuse coffee, should the president offer it, even if it scalds you speechless." "Boss" Gillingham is the busiest man in the Transvaal. We had been in Pretoria two days before we found him at home. In company with numerous speculators and foreign agents we haunted the sign of "P. Gillianham, Baker, underneath which is another legend in smaller type, "And Justice of the Peace." One of the men was from Dayton, O., and sought Gillianham's influence to sell Oliver Paul a phaeton. Another represented an American marble firm and he wanted to build a mausoleum for the president and his family. Some of them had already seen and talked with this influential "fixer" and testified that he was no myth, as we had concluded after being told continually that he was "not at home" or "had a meeting to attend." Eventually, we were ushered through the bakery into a small sitting room, where the president's right hand receives all his guests. PETER GILLIN'GHAM. Irishman and Boer, cares for a goodly fortune, which he has acquired by brisk Celtic hustle, coupled with the advantages provided by the patronage of the president. On leaving New York for a tramp through South Africa with a fellow newspaperman on a very thrifted capital, one of the most important points, as it seemed to us, was to secure just such an interview with Oliver Paul. Several foreign consuls offered to give us letters to their representatives in the Transvaal, but could not promise that they were in such close touch with the Grand Old Man of South Africa as to insure us a welcome reception. In this predicament, we were directed to C. O'Connor (McLaughlin), a well-known New York journalist, at that time secretary of the Irish National Alliance, who, looking over a well-worn volume on his desk, found the name of McDride. "Here is a man," said he, "who will put you on the right track. Our directory gives him as a weighmaster in the mines of the Landgaagte estate, two rules from Johannesburg, near the Simmer and Jack. I have no idea where that is, and I never heard of the man, but if you give him this letter and tell him you are a good Irishman, he'll get you the introduction, for we are very strong in that country." It was not such an easy matter to find McDride after getting to Johannesburg. Even after the Landgaagte had been located it seemed to be operated entirely by non-English-speaking men, and we met a man with keen blue eyes, light hair, mustache, and chin beard, of well-set figure, square shoulders, and speaking good, pure English. He greeted us warmly and got right down to business. "I've told His Honor about you," he said, "and he is anxious to meet you. If you will come to my house at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll take you down and you can talk to him as long as he desires. He's in a good humor now and will talk if you know your business." Gillianham was not disposed to speak of himself and evaded all questions bearing on politics, but told us with no little pride that he was but 39 years old. He was born at the Cape, of Irish parents, and there absorbed the customs of the Dutch so thoroughly that he is regarded in Pretoria as a staunch burgher and good Dutchman. Secret of His Popularity. Though born under the English flag, he has no love for it, and that is the secret of his popularity with President Kruger, who, though a mighty shrewd old hunter and politician, has points of weakness bordering on fatuity. Gillianham made his first coup with Kruger at the time of the Jameson raid, when England threatened to wipe out the little republic. With the hosts of England arrayed against the Transvaal, and no friends, this plucky Irishman got together some of his countrymen and offered to raise a regiment to fight for it against the British. Further, he communicated with Irishmen in America and proposed that they arm and equip forces to send down to aid the Boers. Oliver Paul, who is just as generous as he is vindictive, was quite overcome by this offer, and he has ever since kept a warm spot in his heart for the Irish. More than this, however, Gillianham has a long head, knows when to advise, when to keep quiet, and is so genial and adaptable that he is always "in the know." This is appreciated by Oliver Paul, to whom the Irishman is loyal, for such is the political strife in the Transvaal, that Kruger is often at a loss to know whom to trust. Gillianham has no other position than justice of the peace, seeks for no public honors, is never written about, and poses as a strictly neutral person. In this capacity, Kruger accepts his advice on the most important national and international questions, and the only way he profits is by concessions. Concessions are granted for the most absurd purposes. One man has the exclusive right to make jam in the Transvaal. The dynamite concessionaires give the government five shillings on each case and clear about 50 shillings. Such a high duty is put upon the American article, which is vastly superior in quality, as to practically exclude it. The unsubsidized press is very bitter against Mr. Kruger on account of this concession business and goes so far as to ask how the president could amass a fortune of more than $1,000,000 on a salary of 7,000, and how his son-in-law, Kritz, could build a $250,000 palace on no salary. Gillianham is in the front rank of concessionaires and it was one of these concessions that kept him engaged while we were there. Among the questions put to Mr. Kruger in our interview was the following: "Are you not afraid that, without a sea port, the English will starve you out?" "If God wills it," he replied, "they can do it. If not, the English might build a wall around us high as Jericho and we would live comfortably." At this, he looked to the wily Irishman as though for assent and Gillianham informed us later that Mr. Kruger was greatly delighted at his proposition to erect huge cold storage warehouses, wherein 23,000 beeves could be stored, a safeguard against being starved out. SOME OLD TIME ROAD RACES Reminiscences of Warm Brushes Between Noted Horses and Drivers, LOWERING THE SIX-IN-HAND RECORD N. Fuller of New York, the veteran driver of fast horses, though 75 years old, believes that he can break the six-in-hand team record of 2:30, which he himself established in 1886, and he is eager to make the attempt. Mr. Fuller said the other day: "I believe that six horses can be made to trot a mile in 2:15 or better, and that I own the six horses that can do it. But since it is rather costly, both in time and money, to train six horses to do their best, I should try Fuller George again. Then he began to gain, inch by inch, inch by inch. Just in front of the club house we were going a 2:18 clip and you could have covered both horses with a blanket, as the reporters say. Vanderbilt looked across at me. I telegraphed Fuller George again and he jogged by easily. Then the commodore began to call on Small Hopes and the horse went right up in the air. There was quite a crowd at the club house and every man in it hauled till he was hoarse. The commodore was so serious about it that he never thought to mention the circumstance. Vanderbilt was a Skilled Driver. "Commodore Vanderbilt, though a skilled driver, was the most reckless driver on the road in the old Harlem lane days, and his collisions with other drivers were frequent. "The narrowest escape of my life was when the commodore ran into me. I was driving a single horse. He was driving Mountain Maid and Mountain Boy. He was going up the lane and I was coming down, I first saw him whizzing along like a streak of greased lightning two or three blocks away, his horse swaying from side to side." As near as I could tell, he was due to be on my side of the road about the time we were to meet and I looked for trouble. So did my horse, and it was hard work to keep him from turning short about and upsetting me right there. The crash came in less time after that than I can tell you of it, but I did the best I could by swinging my horse so that he wouldn't be pierced by the pole of the commodore's wagon. The way I fixed out in case of war with the English. He had just been granted the concession, to build the houses. Talking with General Paul. The first question asked us by President Kruger when we finally reached him was: "Are you from Thames?" He looked at us rather sharply from the seat of one eye, embedded in puffy flesh, seamed with wrinkles, and we hastened to reply in the negative. "They're both good Irishmen," added Gillingham, and the half dozen members of the band, Paymaster General Van Alphen, Commissioner of Mines Kroehler and Commissioner of War Smith, all of whom came along to hear the interview, laughed heartily. "What's your religion?" was the next question, and this put us for a moment in a trance, from which we were extricated again by the Irishman's wit. "The Reformed church is very strong in New York," he observed carelessly as a cue. We remembered then that the president is a most bigoted Dutch Reformer and explained to him that while an American newspaperman's religious views must necessarily be very classic, we were at the present moment staunch Dutch Reformer. At this, General Paul puffed fast, smiled wide and eventually chuckled, whereupon he took occasion at Gillingham's suggestion to ply him with a volley of questions. At the end of the interview, we hardly knew which interested us most, the shrewd old Boer or the clever young Irishman, who seemed to understand each other thoroughly. Gillingham lives in more simplicity even than Mr. Kruger, who dines with his coachman. His two sons, Joseph and Parnell, attend the town school (though Mr. Gillingham intends giving them a college education) and they may be seen at times behind the counter. Gillingham lives plainly and dines plainly, his only indulgence being good cigars and a fine pair of horses. His team is usually on the go all day, for he is in no one place for many minutes. He is closeted with Mr. Kruger more frequently than anyone else and the president often calls at the bakery and chats in the rear room with the proprietor about doings in the land. Though seldom seen actively engaged in his place of business nowadays, no false pride absents Gillingham, and when we called in the evening to bid him farewell, he was engaged in wrapping up some hot buns for a comely Boer maiden. He looked at us with a benign smile, shook hands warmly, and then tipped an almighty shrewd wink, as though he would say: "It's a smart man who can tell a valuable diamond in the rough." Politics James Hamilton Lewis. This evening, James Hamilton Lewis, known in the native wilds of Washington as "Dude Lewis," owing to his penchant for fine raiment, fitting neckties, and loud apparel, spoke at Metropolitan Temple, reports the San Francisco News Letter. Lewis is a member of congress for the northern state, a democrat, and a recognized leader of the laboring element here. When he first reached Seattle, he had a hard time, for he had no law practice and less money. His voice is light, and his lungs not strong. It was his practice, for some time after arriving in the town of saw-logs and steep hills, to go in the early morning hours out on a long railway trestle and shout the scales and declaim at the top of his voice, even as William Tell held up his arms and shouted at his native mountains. One moist, foggy morning he was thus declaiming with unusual vigor when his foot slipped and he was precipitated a distance of thirteen feet into the mud and water beneath. A boom of logs fortunately lay near, and upon these he crawled, plastered with slime. Here he gave vent to the most doleful cries for help, and was finally rescued by the owner of the logs, and, chilled to the bones and with teeth chattering, his first action was to tender a profuse apology to his rescuer for occupying the boom without first having secured invitation. He is so polite that it is impossible for him to pass a looking glass without taking off his hat and profoundly thanking himself. Detroit Journal: They controlled abroad under the British sky, titled us they saw fit, they talked. "He is a man of many sides?" "The usual number, I think." "Marmaduke?" "An outside for clothes and an inside for victuals." Presently they bid each other good night, thus bringing the chapter to an end. I do not believe he will be willing to make the attempt entirely without inducement. Five thousand dollars should be hung up, and if that is done I will put my horses into training at once, the entire purse to go to the winner if I lower the record to 2:50. If not, I promise to receive nothing. Or I will trot my best horses against any other three participants for $3,000 a side, the winner to take all. "It would take me about a month to get ready. I would be willing to trot on any first-class track, Hartford, Poughkeepsie, Cleveland, or one of those further south. Of course it is too late to bring the event about this fall, but my announcement is out in plenty of time to make it easy to arrange for the test early in 1899. Judging from the crowd that witnessed my record-breaking performance of 1898 at old Fleetwood Park, the men who put up the $5,000 need not run the slightest risk of loss, for they could fully recoup themselves from the gate money. I should prefer to trot my horses against some other six-in-hand, because I should be surer of winning such a match than a trot against time, but I am quite ready for the latter, and on the shortest notice feasible. "The team would be the same as the record-breaking one of 1890, with one exception. Dexter, the high leader of that team, is dead. It was about ready to propose an attempt to make a 2:45 record when he died and have been waiting since then to find a horse to take his place. I have now found the horse and my team will be made up in this way: Snip and Whiskers, leaders; Flora and a mare I call Josephine, in the middle, and Fleetwood and Fleetwing at the wheels. I haven't the slightest doubt that this team will be able to better the old record." Mention of the lamented Dexter, named for the famous trotter of that name owned by Robert Bonner, always awakens a train of reminiscences in Mr. Fuller's mind. "I thought a good deal of Dexter," he said, "but I thought more of his sire, Putter George. I have owned scores of good lively steppers, but Fuller George was the best one of them all. He was true as steel. His temper was perfect. He was never in bad condition. He was positively the prettiest horse I ever saw. Best of all, he was never beaten on the road. I shall never forget the day when out-trotted Small Hopes, driven on old Harlem lane by Commodore Vanderbilt. Any old-timer will tell you that Small Hopes was one of the crack steppers of his day, his track record being 2:18 3/4. My Fuller George had no track record. None of my horses have been track horses, since my only object in owning fast horses has been that I might win pleasure and health by driving them. But Fuller George was a better footer than Small Hopes, as I proved to the commodore one pleasant June morning about twenty-five years ago. "A good many of the commodore's friends had told him that Small Hopes was all right, but he wasn't in the same class as Fuller George. Vanderbilt pooh-poohed at that, of course. But, all the same, he understood full well that his horse must beat mine or be beaten sooner or later and so he was on the lookout for me. "As I drove down the lane that morning I saw the commodore sitting up stiff and straight behind his pride and joy, and I noticed that he had his eye on me and my horse. Small Hopes had his eye peeled, too. Highbred horses know when their drivers are getting ready to speed them as well as the drivers do, and Small Hopes was perfectly aware that he was about to be tested. I was ready, of course, and so was my horse. But, as I wished to beat the commodore in my own way, I let him drive up alongside me and get almost a length ahead. "When the hind wheels of his wagon were about even with Fuller George's head I stirred him up a little. Not by yelling at him or by using the whip. I just telegraphed along the reins by a slight pressure of the left little finger. My horse knew what that meant, and from that on the commodore could not increase the lead. The race was fairly begun at One Hundred and Forty-fifth street and it lasted till we reached One Hundred and Twenty-fifth, just a mile. "The old Harlem club house stood at One Hundred and Thirty-third street and a short time before we arrived there I telegraphed things my horse and Mountain Boy came together so hard that it knocked the breath out of both of them. "Vanderbilt's rig was all smashed up and I thought the commodore was killed, sure. He went right down among the horses, head first, with his feet in the air and yelling like a wild Indian. The shock knocked him senseless. The wagon was not damaged beyond the springing of the front axle tree and my horse was injured so little that I was able to drive him home. They carried the commodore to the clubhouse nearby and brought him to. As soon as he opened his eyes he asked for me. " "Oh, Fuller has driven home, " they told him. "What did he say? Nothing. He wasn't a man of many words at any time, and he had some hard thinking to do just then. He never spoke about the accident to me." Homer and Beecher. Mr. Fuller is almost the sole active survivor of the famous drivers on the scene in its palmy days. Russell Sage used to drive there a good deal then, and so did the Harpers and Robert Bonner. But the driving Harpers, like Commodore Vanderbilt, have long been dead. Sage is still with us in the flesh, but his present driving game in comparison with that of the old times. "Bonner was one of the best drivers I ever knew," says Mr. Fuller, "and he drove for pure pleasure. But a more awkward driver never handled the ribbons. That was because he didn't learn to drive when he was young. He never could hold his hands gracefully. All the same, the most impressive eight I remember on the lane was Bonner driving Peerless over its whole length one day with Henry Ward Beecher on the seat beside him. Peerless was in mighty fine condition that day and he got over the ground in record-breaking time. "Bonner was clearly intoxicated with delight as the splendid horse came down the road at whirlwind speed. Beecher's face fairly glowed with excitement. His eyes were like stars and his long gray hair floated out in the breeze like the pennant of a crack man-of-war going at full speed in a gale of wind. "Beecher was writing for the Independent at that time and the next week's issue had an article from his pen defending the speeding of horses. It was really a description of that drive down the lane behind Peerless, and it was such a beautiful piece of writing that I cut it out and preserved it. Once in a while I hunt it up and read it over, and when I do I see a mental picture in which Peerless and Bonner and Beecher are the central figures." To Stop a Runaway Team. Mr. Fuller has been driving over the roads of Manhattan Island for more than forty-five years and computes that in that time he has driven 475,000 miles. In the forty-five years he has suffered six runaways, not counting such incidents as his collision with Commodore Vanderbilt. The best way to stop a runaway team, Mr. Fuller says, is to throw the horses. "I learned that trick," he explained, "when a boy. I was champion wrestler of the county of Franklin, Vermont, and I had from. Collar and elbow was my favorite hold and constant practice at that made me strong in my arms and shoulders. You know how a man is thrown in collar and elbow wrestling. All you have to do is to pull pretty steady for a while to the right and then give a sudden jerk as hard as you can to the left. If you know how to do it, you can down your man nine times in ten without tripping him. "I never thought of trying collar and elbow tactics on a runaway team till one day I got in a pretty tight place with a pair of horses that took the bit in their teeth not many blocks away from where I had beaten the commodore. At first I thought I could hold them, but I couldn't, and I began to wonder what I should do. Then I remembered how easy it used to be to yank a husky chap off his feet at collar and elbow. There was no reason why the scheme wouldn't work with horses as well as men, so I pulled them steadily to the right." Though gently at first, I wanted to bring them down where there was a soft place to land. And presently, when I neared such a spot, I let go of the off rein, grasped the near one with both hands and brought the horses' heads around with a sharp jerk. If the rein had broken, I'd have been a goner, sure, but it stood the strain all right. Just as I had expected, down went the team in a heap, the off horse on top. Was I hurt? Well, I went flying about twenty feet and landed on my shoulders, then I struck the soft spot I'd been looking for and was only shaken up a might. After that, I knew how best to stop a runaway team. It makes them feel sheepish to be thrown, and he is sure to show it in his looks, too. And the best of it is that once thrown, he will never try to run away again. For broken sores, insect bites, rashes, skin diseases, and especially piles, here is one reliable remedy, DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. When you call for DeWitt's, don't accept counterfeit or frauds. You will not be disappointed with DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. The coyote, speaking about smart animals, is the Kansas City Journal, I want to go on record as saying that there is no animal that can hold a candle to the coyote for smoothness. When I first went out to Kansas, I had an ambition to kill enough coyotes to make an improvement to send back to my friends in the east. I tramped all over that country with a gun, but I never could get nearer than within a mile of a coyote. I needed to drive out in my buggy and hide the gun under the seat, but it didn't make any difference. Not a coyote over got near enough so that he could have been reached with anything short of a long-range cannon. One day I started out in a hurry and forgot my gun. I hadn't gone a mile from town before I ran into a group of four coyotes. The critters didn't even take the trouble to lope off out of sight. They just walked off two or three rods from the road and sat down and looked at me and laughed. It made me madder their infernal impudence and I made a dive as if I were going to get the gun out from under the seat. I thought sure I would scare them away. Well, maybe you wouldn't believe it, but those cursed coyotes never moved. They just sat there and actually grinned. They said just as plain as if they had used words, 'Oh, you needn't try to bluff us! We are strictly onto your job.' How they knew I hadn't the gun, I don't know, but I have had great respect for the senses of a coyote ever since. RENOWNED BEER Budweiser, Michelob, Muenchener, Faust, Anheuser-Standard, Pale Lager.

1 10 TICK OMAHA DA1LV 1VRE : VIUDAV , -I , 1808. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Deolincs a Point on Heavy Increases of European Stocks , PROVISION MARKET GAINS STRENGTH Corn IjOnen Onc-HlKhtli of n Cent , Out * ftne-Fonrth of H Cent Kllm Up Twenty-Oil ! ; Ceil ti . CHICAGO. Nov. 3. More peaceful news Trom nbroiid today and a slack export tie- Jnand , tosctlicr with a heavy Increase for October In Ktiroponn stocks , caused a de cline In wheat. December closed ' yu-Sc lower. Corn lost l-8c. Oats advanced Vic. 1'ork left olt 2'/jC ' higher , lard Zijlfoc and ribs 2' ' c. Wheat opened weak enough to suggest thit : un era of universal peace hud 'sud denly supplanted the late protracted period of bolllgprancy. Kngllsh government secu rities , however , opened somewhat lower than they closed the day before and ac- fordliiB to rumors lloatlng around Iho pit , ! Kr gland appeared to be spoiling for an 1m- inrdlato tussle with Ilussla as well as J-'iunre. 'An InUlltiK of what subseciiient cablegrams revealed must , however , have bfcn known to some traders , who at the fUiirt had December wheat for sale at from 'AfiS-Sc below last night's clofc. Some of the early st'lllng was doubtless duo also to Hir iippoarance of line wuather and the jirobablo effect on prolonging the time of mavy deliveries by farmers. Chicago re ceipts were 313 cars , compared with llfi the Mi-responding day of last year , while Min neapolis and Duluth got 1,201 car ? , against 3.037 a year ago. Primary western market rerc-lpts aggregated 1.530,000 bu. . against 1.423,000 bu. a year ago and 1,2SS,000 bu. for Iho same day last week. The Atlantic and Kulf port clearances of wheat and flour ivtTo equal to 000,000 bu. New York ri- imrtud lorelgn acceptances compnnilively JUjht both from the United Kingdom nnd Hie continent. The opening prices here per mitted the working of EO.OOO bu. No. 1 north ern for shipment to London. A Liverpool cablegram reporting Odessa Btoclw of wheat olllclally to be over C.OOO.OliO bu. . Instead of only 3,400.000 bu. as reported nt the end of October , had a considerable bearish Influence. Another depressing fea ture of the day's news was Uearbohm'H Htiitfment. which made European and on jmswigo stocks of whsat and flour 0,700,000 bu. larger than estimated October 1. Ue- ocmbor opened ' .i < f(3-Sc ( lower at CfiliflCC 7-Sc , declined to fiBG-Sc , advanced to 07c , then reacted to fifii c. At this low llgure holders of put prlvllegs hud a profit and In trying io secure profits , advanced the price to tfiVsifiW ! C-Sc sellers at the close. Trading In corn was not of an Important haracter and although the feeling was rather heavy at times on account of the decline In wheat , the loss for the day was till accomplished at the start. The fine weather was suggestive of Increased of- J'erlngs from the country ' " t" ° near fu ture and the estimated number of carloads for Inspection favored the same Idea. The uhlpplng demand wa.i light , but the Htrength displayed by oats maintained prices. Hecelpts were US oars. Dacembcr opened ' c lower at " 2 1-Sc , declined to 32 B2Vic , advanced to 323-Sc , and closed at S2'ic buyers. OatH was particularly active and decid edly strong nt times. Continued light re- eMpts and n good general cash demand Inspired heavy buying of futures. Re- clpts were 215 cars , or considerably less than estimated. May began a shade , lower nt 215-S(24 : 4C , advanced to 2. > 1-Sc , and closed at 25c sellers. Liberal hog receipts and the weakness In pralns started provisions weak. There were more buyers for the offerings , however , than could be supplied at the lower figures with which the market began. Buying on a moderate scale continued even when prices rose beyond yesterday's closing prices. January pork opened Be lower at $9.00 , ad ! vanced to J9.12'A , then reacted to $ ! t.07 buy ers. January lard started a shade lower nt $ l.a7V4. declined to $1.93 , then advanced to $5.02'y buyers , the closing price. January ribs betrnn 2 c lower at II.IK1roso to Jt.CT'fe'S't.TO ' ' , and closed at $ l.fi"i buyers.

There wus a good deal of activity during the first hour , mainly centered In the specialties and changes In the railroad list were almost unappreclablc , although the market held a very hard sur face. "Trading was dttl. almost to the point of stagnation until the last fifteen minutes , when the most notable gains were made. The movement started with n sudden advance vanceof nearly 5 points In Metropolitan Railway , and Consolidated Ons followed with tin almost equal gain. St. Paul sold nt 162' ' < , , a new high record , and Great Northern preferred Jumped over a point. Other railroad stocks which extended their net gains to a point or over were Omaha , Northwest and Denver preferred. Galis In the grangers and Northern Pacific iind one or two other stocks approximated a point. The market was held throughout the early dealings by the strength of Sugar , which rose above 115 and closed U above this point after various fluctuations. To bacco and Federal Steel preferred also showed a hardening tendency , but were much less actlvo than of late. The recovery In stocks was attributed to relief over the moro peaceful prospects abroad , as Indi cated by the recovery in Urltlsb consols , the easing of the discount rate In London and the weakness of the wheat market. London bought In this market for the first tlmo In several days. In view of these de velopments and the continued ease of the local money market the advance In sterling and continental exchange Is dllllcult to ac count for. An Incident of the outside market was the declaration of Standard Oil "assign ments" of what Is , In spite of circumlocu tion employed In announcing It , a dividend of 3 per cent regular tiuartcrly and 4 per cent extra , bringing the dividends for the year up to 30 per icnt , against 3.1 per cent last year and 31 per cent the year before. The traffic statement of St. Paul , allowing an Increase for the fourth week in October of J114.4UI , was a sustaining force through out the railroad list. There was a good business done in bonds , especially In reorganization 4s , which showed a tendency to advance. The liquida tion of some heavy blocks of Atchlson ad justments carried the price down 3-S. with a subsequent recovery. Southern Railway 5s rose to par. Total sales were fiOI5,000 : United States old 4s coupon advanced 1-S and the new 4s coupon declined V4. In the bid price. The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says ; The stock markets here opened dull today , but closed strong on the better political outlook. Consols nnd other markets closed quiet at the best. If to night's political rumors are conllrmed to morrow the markets will look better than for some tlmo past. Americans were steady.

In addition to the fresh receipts there was a large number carried over from yester day , 1,500 head being reported us left In the yards last night. The market on beef cattle was in fair shape , though there was no great amount of activity visible In any quarter. Cornfed cattle went at about the same prices ns yesterday and the desirable loads for the most part sold In good season. There seemed to be a pretty good demand for grass beef steers nnd anything among the wi stern rangers that would do for killers sold readily at fully steady prices. There was quite a string of western cow stuff in the yards and the market on any thing good enough for the dressed beef men was fairly actlvo nnd fully steady. Feeder cows rind heifers naturally felt the effect ot the decline in the market for feeder As was th case yesterday , the big end of the days receipts consisted of feeders and the general situation In the feeder mar ket was about as unfavorable for the sell ers as could he imagined. In addition to the large , fresh arrivals speculators' pen ? were few and far between. There wre still cattle , and good cattle , too , In first hands this morning when the market orc-ned. The country demand all this week has besn light , which linn allowed the cattla to accumulate In the hands o speculators until they feel that they have ns big a load as they are willing to carry. It is said that the farmers are busy getting their corn out and will not take the time to come in after feeding cattle. Others explain the small country demand as due to n wide spread feeling among farmers that feeding cattle are too high and that the market will be lower later on. Whatever may or may not have been the cause , the fact re mained that the feeder market today was flat for the want of buyers. Speculators would pick out a few cattle that Just hap pened to suit them nnd that they thought they could use , but the market even on the good kinds was lower , while the common and Inferior enttle were practically unsal able. The forenoon dragged along with few cattle selling In comparison to the offer ings. Representative sales : STKURS No. Av. Pr.

A week ago the receipts footed up 117 earn. two weckr. ago , 134 curs , atul three weeks ago n'nety-three cars. With only on i xcep- tlon it was the lightest run for n Thursday In over two months. The market opened a little stronger than yesterday's close , or about like yesterday morning , and wan fairly active at prevail ing prices , HO much HO that the most of the early arrivals changed hands In good sea son. A few loads of right good Ik'lit hogs brought M.r.j. with good mixed loads largely at Ji.47'il&3.M and heavy loads largely nt 1.45. The demand was good and the later arrivals kept selling , so that a clearance wus effected Borne tlmo before midday. The --lose was a little easier than the early market. It will be noted from the table of average prices atentl \ \ of column that the market is now a little vtroncer than It wan a week ago. but "oimlderably lower than It was on Monday of the present week. Thei average price paid for hogs yesterday was i the lowest of thr yenr slive Jnnunr.v , when the nvrniBf prliv dropped ns low ns $3.37. . . . . . . , . SHEEP Today's arrivals were the largest since Monday , but among all the sheep and lambs hero there was not very much mutton. The market as u whole was slow and weak.

1 10 TICKET OMAHA DAILY NEWS: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1908. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Declines a Point on Heavy Increases of European Stocks, PROVISION MARKET GAINS STRENGTH Corn Rises One-Half cent; Oats Advance One Cent Chicago, Nov. 3. More peaceful news From abroad today and a slack export trade, Together with a heavy increase for October in Russian stocks, caused a decline in wheat. December closed slightly lower. Corn lost 1-8c. Oats advanced 1c. York left off 2-1/2c higher, lard 1-1/2c and ribs 2c. Wheat opened weak enough to suggest That an era of universal peace had suddenly supplanted the late protracted period Of hostility. English government securities, however, opened somewhat lower Than they closed the day before and according to rumors floating around the pit, England appeared to be spoiling for an iminant tussle with Russia as well as France. 'An Insight of what subsequent cables revealed must, however, have been known to some traders, who at the start had December wheat for sale at from 5c below last night's close. Some of the early selling was doubtless due also to the appearance of fine weather and the probable effect on prolonging the time of army deliveries by farmers. Chicago receipts were 313 cars, compared with 156 the corresponding day of last year, while Minneapolis and Duluth got 1,201 cars, against 3,037 a year ago. Primary western market receipts aggregated 1,530,000 bu., against 1,423,000 bu. a year ago and 1,258,000 bu. for the same day last week. The Atlantic and Gulf ports clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 8,000,000 bu. New York imports dramatically decreased both from the United Kingdom and the continent. The opening prices here permitted the working of 80,000 bu. No. 1 northern for shipment to London. A Liverpool cablegram reporting Odessa stocks of wheat officially to be over 6,000,000 bu., instead of only 3,400,000 bu. as reported at the end of October, had a considerable bearish influence. Another depressing feature of the day's news was Hearbox's Department, which made European and on Swingo stocks of wheat and flour 6,700,000 bu. larger than estimated October 1. December opened slightly lower at 52-5/8c, declined to 52-3/4c, advanced to 57c, then reacted to 55c. At this low figure holders of put privileges had a profit and in trying to secure profits, advanced the price to 57-1/2c sellers at the close. Trading in corn was not of an important Character and although the feeling was Rather heavy at times on account of the Decline in wheat, the loss for the day was Still accomplished at the start. The fine Weather was suggestive of increased offerings from the country and the estimated number of carloads for inspection favored the same idea. The demand was light, but the Strenght displayed by oats maintained Prices. Receipts were 215 cars. December opened 1-1/2c lower at 32 1/2c, declined to 32 75c, advanced to 32 1/2c, and closed at 32 1/2c buyers. Oats was particularly active and decidedly strong at times. Continued light receipts and a good general cash demand Inspired heavy buying of futures. Receipts were 215 cars, or considerably less Than estimated. May began a shade lower At 25 1/2c, advanced to 25 1-1/2c, and Closed at 25c sellers. Liberal hog receipts and the weakness in Provisions started them weak. There were More buyers for the offerings, however, Than could be supplied at the lower figures With which the market began. Buying on a Moderate scale continued even when prices Rose beyond yesterday's closing prices. January pork opened 5c lower at $9.00, advanced to $9.12 1/2, then reacted to $9.07 buyers. January lard started a shade lower At $1.37 1/2, declined to $1.93, then advanced to $1.92 1/2 buyers, the closing price. January ribs began 2c lower at $1.31 1/2, and closed at $1.31 1/2 buyers.

Lively trading in Railroad Retrieves London's losses in American Steel. NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The market practically retrieved today the losses of the last two days, the majority of railroad stocks closing within a small fraction of the prices of last Monday. There was considerably irregularity at the opening, due to the depression in London. There was a good deal of activity during the first hour, mainly centered in the specialties and changes in the railroad list were almost unappreciable, although the market held a very hard surface. Trading was dull, almost to the point of stagnation until the last fifteen minutes, when the most notable gains were made. The movement started with a sudden advance advance of nearly 5 points in Metropolitan Railway, and Consolidated Oil followed with an almost equal gain. St. Paul sold at 162 1-2, a new high record, and Great Northern preferred Jumped over a point. Other railroad stocks which extended their net gains to a point or over were Omaha, Northwest and Denver preferred. Also in the grangers and Northern Pacific and one or two other stocks approximated a point. The market was held throughout the early dealings by the strength of Sugar, which rose above 115 and closed above this point after various fluctuations. Tobacco and Federal Steel preferred also showed a hardening tendency, but were much less active than of late. The recovery in stocks was attributed to relief over the more peaceful prospects abroad, as indicated by the recovery in British consols, the easing of the discount rate in London and the weakness of the wheat market. London bought in this market for the first time in several days. In view of these developments and the continued ease of the local money market the advance in sterling and continental exchange is difficult to account for. An Incident of the outside market was the declaration of Standard Oil "assignments" of what is, in spite of circumlocution employed in announcing it, a dividend of 3 per cent regular quarterly and 4 per cent extra, bringing the dividends for the year up to 30 per cent, against 31 per cent last year and 31 per cent the year before. The traffic statement of St. Paul, allowing an increase for the fourth week in October of $114,400, was a sustaining force throughout the railroad list. There was a good business done in bonds, especially in reorganization 4s, which showed a tendency to advance. The liquidation of some heavy blocks of Atchison adjustments carried the price down 3-8, with a subsequent recovery. Southern Railway 5s rose to par. Total sales were 601,500; United States old 4s coupon advanced 1-8 and the new 4s coupon declined 1-4. In the bid price. The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here opened dull today, but closed strong on the better political outlook. Consols and other markets closed quiet at the best. If tonight's political rumors are confirmed tomorrow the markets will look better than for some time past. Americans were steady. The following are the closing quotations of the leading stocks on the New York market today. In his last paid.

United States Attorney Willoughby has reported to Governor Candler on the claim set forth by Georgia that 1,500 square miles of territory lying in Tennessee and North Carolina belong to the first-named state. He goes over the case as far back as 1832 and says the question is still an open one and is a matter for the courts to decide. There is still some doubt whether Chattanooga is in Georgia or Tennessee. Referring to this matter, the state's attorney says: "Chattanooga is within the ancient boundaries of Georgia. If the question is reopened and that boundary is established, Chattanooga will, of course, be in this state." THE REALTY MARKET.

In addition to the fresh receipts there was a large number carried over from yesterday 1,500 head being reported as left in the yards last night. The market on beef cattle was in fair shape, though there was no great amount of activity visible in any quarter. Cornfed cattle went at about the same prices as yesterday and the desirable loads for the most part sold in good season. There seemed to be a pretty good demand for grass beef steers and anything among the western rangers that would do for killers sold readily at fully steady prices. There was quite a string of western cow stuff in the yards and the market on anything good enough for the dressed beef men was fairly active and fully steady. Feeder cows and heifers naturally felt the effect of the decline in the market for feeder As was the case yesterday, the big end of the day's receipts consisted of feeders and the general situation in the feeder market was about as unfavorable for the sellers as could be imagined. In addition to the large, fresh arrivals, speculators' pens were few and far between. There were still cattle, and good cattle, too, in first hands this morning when the market opened. The country demand all this week has been light, which has allowed the cattle to accumulate in the hands of speculators until they feel that they have as big a load as they are willing to carry. It is said that the farmers are busy getting their corn out and will not take the time to come in after feeding cattle. Others explain the small country demand as due to a wide spread feeling among farmers that feeding cattle are too high and that the market will be lower later on. Whatever may or may not have been the cause, the fact remained that the feeder market today was flat for the want of buyers. Speculators would pick out a few cattle that Just happened to suit them and that they thought they could use, but the market even on the good kinds was lower, while the common and inferior cattle were practically unsaleable. The forenoon dragged along with few cattle selling in comparison to the offerings. Representative sales: STOCKS No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

A week ago the receipts footed up 117 cars, two weeks ago, 134 cars, and three weeks ago ninety-three cars. With only one exception it was the lightest run for a Thursday in over two months. The market opened a little stronger than yesterday's close, or about like yesterday morning, and was fairly active at prevailing prices, so much so that the most of the early arrivals changed hands in good season. A few loads of right good light hogs brought 47c, with good mixed loads largely at 47c-53c, and heavy loads largely at 45c. The demand was good and the later arrivals kept selling, so that a clearance was effected sometime before midday. The market was a little easier than the early market. It will be noted from the table of average prices given in column that the market is now a little stronger than it was a week ago, but considerably lower than it was on Monday of the present week. The average price paid for hogs yesterday was the lowest of the year since January, when the average price dropped as low as $3.37. SHEEP Today's arrivals were the largest since Monday, but among all the sheep and lambs here there was not very much mutton. The market as a whole was slow and weak. Eastern markets at Chicago have weahknen the eastern market, and while there has been no over-supply at this point the market here could hardly avoid being influenced to some extent at least. The trading was rather slow this morning under the influence of weak advices from other selling points, and was at no time very active. Quotations are: Good grass westerns, $4.10-$4.75; choice yearlings, $1.23-$1.40; fair to good yearlings, $4.15-$4.30; fair to good grass westerns, $1.00-$1.10; good to choice lambs, $3.15-$5.30; fair to good lambs, $5.00; feeder wethers, 2-year-olds and over, $3.83-$4.00; feeder yearlings, $1.00-$4.25; feeder lambs, $1.50-$3.35; cull sheep, $2.50-$3.00; cull lambs, $1.00-$1.25.

12 THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt FRIDAY , -I , 1898. piMiiMpn Tfnt 111 I\TT i ixti n SER\ICE \ TO BE MAINTAINED Few Passenger Trains to Be Taken Off After the Exposition. NO IMPORTANT CHANGES SCHEDULED Ilnllroniln Arc SH KnuoiirnHrd ' > ' Hull * licit * I'riiNtiL'otn Hint .Mont Trnlim L'ltrryltiK .Nil in NUT ItiiMh Will Stny mi Diitj. The effect of the Transmlsslsslppl Expo sition on the passenger train service of Omaha Is going to bo hcncflclnl. While a tow local trains that have been added dur ing the last llvo months will be dropped during the winter , thu bulk of the new trains and all of the old ones will lie main tained. The officials of the passenger and of the operating department of the Omaha terminal lines are conferring with each other this week relative to train service In and out of Omaha for the coming winter. There will naturally be some reductions In train servIce - Ice on account of the closing of the exposi tion. Hut there- will not be so many trains taken off as were put on the road on ac count of thu exposition. The changes under cnnsldeintlon alTect none of the through trains , but only local trains that wore added to accommodate the exposition rush. There uro now sixty-nino trains leaving Omaha and sixty-seven entering the city every twenty-four hours. During a greater part of the exposition period , notably during the months of September nnd October , many of these trains have been run In tuo and three sections , making about 200 trains In and out of the city every day lu the week for that time. The extra sec tions have already been dropped nnd the jogular trains are generally running la only one section now. Union I'nclfla I'lun * . General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific yesterday eald : "Our meet ing to decide on winter train service has not yet been held. I can assure you , however - over , that there will bo no Important changes. Yes , sir , the Colorado spe cial will remain In service , and BO will the rest of our trains. There may bo a few changes of ten or fifteen minutes In the time of the local trains , but I think noito of Uio principal trains will bo changrd at all. " Assistant General Passenger Agent Smith of the n. & M. said : "The question of winter - tor train service will not bo finally decided until Mr. Francis returns , but I believe there will be no Important changes. Our double afternoon service between Omaha and Lincoln , which was established during the exposition , will probably bo cut down to ono train. It Is possible the Creston local may also bo given up , as It was placed In Borvlco for the exposition. Our midnight trains will bo kept In service. During the exposition they have done a splendid busi ness , dcsplto contrary reports. " On Saturday the Milwaukee road will take trains Nos. 25 and 26 out of service. They are local trains between Omaha and Manilla nnd were put on to help accommodate the exposition rush. An Improvement to the Milwaukee's train service that will more than counter-balance the loss of thcao locals Is being urged by General Western Agent Nash with good chance , for success. The change contemplated Is for better through service over the Milwaukee from Omaha to DCS Molnes and from Omaha to Sioux City. I NorthwcNtcrn'N Winter Card. The Northwestern expects to have Its win ter time card arranged within a few days. General Agent Kuhn says lie feels quite potltlvo that none of tbo live Chicago trains of that line will bo taken off , and Is sure the mldulght train from Chicago will remain In service. The Elkhorn road will toke off trains Nos. 25 nud 26 , a local passenger train between Omaha and York , on Sunday. The other trains will remain as now throughout the winter. General Passenger Agent Sebastian of the Jlock Island said to The Bee on Sunday last : | "Wo will have a meeting within a week to determine on our winter time card. None of the trains In or out of Omaha now will TJO taken off. The Kocky Mountain Limited will not bo restored to service because It cannot now bo made to pay. " , The Missouri Pacific and the Kansas City , I'lttsburg & Gulf roads have not decided on nny changes In the trains In or out of the city , and will probably maintain their pres ent train service through the coming winter. I2nJoliiN ( In * \ < MV Itntc. DENVER , Nov. 3. Judge Hnllct of the United States circuit court today Issued a temporary Injunction restraining the Southern Pacific , and other western rail roads from putting Into effect , In violation of the ruling of the Interstate Commerce commission , a freight tariff which would exclude the product of the steel mill of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company at Pue blo , Colo. , from Pacific coast points. The now rates from Pueblo were the satno as those from Chicago. The demurrer of the Southern Pacific company to the suit of the Fuel and Iron company , In which ft claim for damages Is made , was overruled nnd thirty days given the company to fil& nn apBwcr. The railroad company Is re quired to file a bond of $23.000. of Ticket llrokrrn. A considerable part of the colony ot ticket brokers who Immigrated to Omaha during the exposition season Is now far away from Omaha. The emigration movement of the scalpers who were attracted hero by the big fair began on Monday , and by Tuesday night there were hut few of them hero who were not hero before the exposition opened. The closing day , Monday , was the last oc casion for which special rat § were made. As these rates expired < Mondar the scalpers had little to do after that time. The regular - lar summer tourist rates , which were aUo made to Omaha for the exposition , go out of existence on Friday. Vow of the expo sition scalpers cared to remain until that time , as they were afraid some of the people ple to whom they sold altered tickets might coino back to call. Ono of the exposition scalpers at Sixteenth and Farnam streets took time by the forelock , and skipped out last week. Ho took the firm's cashbox with him and left his partner with a few old tickets and some experience as exposition souvenirs. COMIIS TotiiyniKii WITH A CRASH.

MILLING IN TRANSIT RATE Union Pacific the Only Road that Qranti Omaha This Privilege , GRAIN MEN STILL DISCUSS SITUATION VlKnrotiM nnd Concerted Action lc- iiuiiHlrd to Secure Hollcf Itnllninil Jinn Tel In of StornKr-ln-TrniinU nnd TrniiHfor-Iii-Trnndlt , "There must ho vigorous and concerted nctton all along the line If Omaha over gets mllllng-ln-translt rates on grain , " remarked X. Mcrrlara of the Halnee & Merrlam Ele vator company , when discussing the matter. 'At the present tlmo the Union Pacific Is ho only railroad company that is making the rate. The other roada push the grain right on through Omaha , taking It cither to Chicago or St. Louis. "This mllltng-ln-lranstt rate Is a matter hat has been discussed and harped upon In Nebraska during the past twenty years and wo arc just as far fram a solution now as when It was first agltr.ted. In addition : o the rate , Omaha needs moro elevators and more capital. The capital to handle the grain would undoubtedly como If the elevators were built , and they would bo milt It the town "was placed upon the same jasls with reference to rates as Kansas City , Minneapolis and Chicago. Of course all of the roads having through lines are op posed to making the rate and consequently : hls Is not a grain market. There is enough country tributary to Omaha to make It n good market for wheat and ali other kinds of grain , but the market will not be- made until some concerted action Is taken. At the present tlmo we are discriminated against In favor of Chicago , Kansas City and Minneapolis and If a car of grain is stopped hero and then sent on 'It has to pay the local rate , instead of getting a pro rata of the through rate. " Secretary Utt of the Commercial club ad mits that the Omaha grain market is being discriminated against , but sees no way of securing relief. llitllrond Man nn Situation. "What is really wanted is an arrange ment with the railroads for Btorage-ln- transit rates , " remarked a prominent freight ofllclal of ono of the Omaha terminal lines to n IJee reporter yesterday. Ho continued : "Tho term 'milllng-ln-transit rato' is a misnomer as applied to the local situation. There can bo no mllllng-ln-translt rate where there is no milling. In Minneapolis they have u mllllng-ln-transit rate from the railroads which allows the grain to be stopped there , taken to tbo mills and the products sent on as though the whole con stituted one shipment. "This cannot bo applied to Omaha as there are no milling Industries here. What wo have hero aud In Council Bluffs are a number of largo elevators , and a storagc- In-transtt rate would bo useful In building up the elevator industry here If there were an assurance of moro elevators. At present , and for some tlmo past , the elevators of both Omaha and Council Bluffs have been taxed to their utmost capacity. As they are full most of the tlmo new elevators should be in sight before attempting to get the railroads to put in rates that would allow a greater amount of grain to bo stored here. "The storago-ln-translt rates might bo made for sixty days. By this I mean the grain to bo brought in here and stored for sixty .days , then sent from here to any mar ket desired without additional freight charges for the privilege ot the stop hero for storage. But accommodations for addi tional storage must bo provided It it is do- slrqd to get moro grain stored here. The BtoraEO-in-tranult rates alone would not ac complish tbo desired results. "At present there is in effect hero , as In Kansas City , a plan of transfer-in-translt rates on .an the railroad * . For instance , the Union Pacific railroad brings a quantity of grain from Nebraska to Omaha or Coun cil Bluffs , but -will not let it go cast in the company's cars. It must bo transferred to the cars of the Iowa lines. Kormerly this had to bo done through the elevators. A considerable part of It utlll Is , but the Burlington and the Rock Island roads have built elevated tracks in Council Bluffa , so that they can run the cars with the grain from the west above the cars that are to take it east and effect the transfer of grain from ono set of cars to the other without going to the elevator at att. More Klevutorn Wanted. "Tho Teavey company Is now building a largo elevator in Council Bluffs. If more elevators can bo secured for Omaha and Council Bluffs , btoragc-ln-transit rates will undoubtedly bo brought about. If the storage capacity hero Is Increased and the railroad companies asked to put In storage- in-translt rates at Omaha I have no doubt but that they will do It. The matter should bo taken up by the Board of Trade or other strong commercial organization before a meeting of the traffic officials of all western lines , for ono road would probably not act In the matter without the other roads were willing to co-operate.

NO IMPORTANT CHANGES SCHEDULED Hiram Clarke, General Manager of the Omaha terminal lines, said: "There will be no important changes to the train service after the exposition. The effect on the passenger trains is going to be beneficial. While a few local trains that have been added during the last few months will be dropped during the winter, the bulk of the new trains and all of the old ones will be maintained." The officials of the passenger and of the operating department of the Omaha terminal lines are conferring this week relative to train service in and out of Omaha for the coming winter. There will naturally be some reductions in train service on account of the closing of the exposition. But there will not be so many trains taken off as were put on the road on account of the exposition. The changes under consideration affect none of the through trains, but only local trains that were added to accommodate the exposition rush. There are now sixty-nine trains leaving Omaha and sixty-seven entering the city every twenty-four hours. During a greater part of the exposition period, notably during the months of September and October, many of these trains have been run in two and three sections, making about 200 trains in and out of the city every day. Now, most of the trains are generally running in only one section now. Union Pacific General Passenger Agent Lomax said: "Our meeting to decide on winter train service has not yet been held. I can assure you, however, that there will be no important changes. Yes, sir, the Colorado special will remain in service, and so will the rest of our trains. There may be a few changes of ten or fifteen minutes in the time of the local trains, but I think none of the principal trains will be changed at all." Assistant General Passenger Agent Smith of the C&MG said: "The question of winter train service will not be finally decided until Mr. Francis returns, but I believe there will be no important changes. Our double afternoon service between Omaha and Lincoln, which was established during the exposition, will probably be cut down to one train. It is possible the Creston local may also be given up, as it was placed in service for the exposition. Our midnight trains will be kept in service. During the exposition they have done a splendid business, despite contrary reports." On Saturday, the Milwaukee road will take trains Nos. 25 and 26 out of service. They are local trains between Omaha and Council Bluffs and were put on to help accommodate the exposition rush. An improvement to the Milwaukee's train service that will more than counterbalance the loss of these locals is being urged by General Western Agent Nash with good chance for success. The change contemplated is for better through service over the Milwaukee from Omaha to Davenport and from Omaha to Sioux City. Northwestern's Winter Card. The Northwestern expects to have its winter time card arranged within a few days. General Agent Kuhn says he feels quite possible that none of the six Chicago trains of that line will be taken off, and is sure the midnight train from Chicago will remain in service. The Elkhorn road will take off trains Nos. 25 and 26, a local passenger train between Omaha and York, on Sunday. The other trains will remain as now throughout the winter. General Passenger Agent Sebastian of the Rock Island said to The Bee on Sunday last: "We will have a meeting within a week to determine on our winter time card. None of the trains in or out of Omaha now will be taken off. The Rocky Mountain Limited will not be restored to service because it cannot now be made to pay." The Missouri Pacific and the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf roads have not decided on any changes in the trains in or out of the city, and will probably maintain their present train service throughout the coming winter. DENVER, Nov. 3. Judge Hallett of the United States circuit court today issued a temporary injunction restraining the Southern Pacific, and other western railroads from putting into effect, in violation of the ruling of the Interstate Commerce commission, a freight tariff which would exclude the product of the steel mill of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company at Pueblo, Colo., from Pacific coast points. The new rates from Pueblo were the same as those from Chicago. The demurrer of the Southern Pacific company to the suit of the Fuel and Iron company, in which a claim for damages is made, was overruled and thirty days given the company to file an answer. The railroad company is required to file a bond of $23,000. A considerable part of the colony of ticket brokers who immigrated to Omaha during the exposition season is now far away from Omaha. The emigration movement of the scalpers who were attracted here by the big fair began on Monday, and by Tuesday night there were but few of them here who were not here before the exposition opened. The closing day, Monday, was the last occasion for which special rates were made. As these rates expired on Monday, the scalpers had little to do after that time. The regular summer tourist rates, which were also made to Omaha for the exposition, go out of existence on Friday. Now of the exposition scalpers cared to remain until that time, as they were afraid some of the people to whom they sold altered tickets might come back to call. One of the exposition scalpers at Sixteenth and Farnam streets took time by the forelock, and skipped out last week. He took the firm's cashbox with him and left his partner with a few old tickets and some experience as exposition souvenirs. COMING TO AN END WITH A CRASH. Partied Train Collides at Ulysses, Kan., Injuring Passengers. The following persons were injured on the Union Pacific near Ulysses, Kan., on Wednesday night in a collision between two parted portions of a mixed freight and passenger train: W. Fashley, conductor, head badly cut and injuries to hip and knee. John Swanson, a passenger living at Randolph, Kan., injuries to back and arm. O. King, a passenger living at Randolph, Kan., injuries to the knee. C. E. Stewart, line repairer of the Union Pacific, injuries to hip and cut about the face. The accident happened about 8 o'clock at night and all of those who were hurt were riding in the caboose attached to freight train No. 55. About half a mile east of Ulysses the train parted while running at the usual rate of speed, and when the two parts of the train came together near the town the freight cars came together with a great crash, breaking the drawbars of several cars and shaking up the caboose on the end of the train. As there were a number of cars between the caboose and the break in the train, the men riding in the caboose were saved from a bad smashup. LINCOLN CUR MILLS HO TO REMAIN ON PERMANENT EXHIBITION. The railway exhibits of the Transportation building have been returned to their homes. The Union Pacific's new freight cars, the old locomotive No. 1 and the Lincoln car were taken back to the Union Pacific shops yesterday afternoon. For the present, the old Lincoln car will be left in the shop yards, but the management of the company is considering the feasibility of putting the car into condition for permanent exhibition. The Pullman train went back to Chicago Wednesday afternoon over the Burlington road. Railroad men here took no stock in the report that the train will be put into use on an eastern line. It is thought the Pullman company will keep its $250,000 train of cars for display at future expositions. The big locomotives of the Northwestern were sent back to Chicago on Monday, and will be put into service at once. The Burlington will take down its exhibit in the Agricultural building tomorrow. It will be thoroughly gone over and renovated, and then turned over to Major Ward at the Government building. It will be sent with the government exhibits to the Paris exposition at an early date. Rock Island CHICAGO, Nov. 3. The net income of the Rock Island road for the month of September was $832,049, a decrease of $29,262 from the same month of last year. The income of the road for the six months ending September 30 was $3,758,829, an increase of $337,185 over the net income of the corresponding spending months of the preceding fiscal year. Hallway Notes and Personal. George Crosby, general freight agent of the B. & M., arrived from Chicago yesterday morning. General Passenger Agent Buchanan of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley left for St. Louis yesterday afternoon. Assistant Superintendent Griffin of the Union Pacific is here from Denver to assume his duties here under Superintendent Baxter. Harry Flavin, whom Griffin succeeds, has returned to Denver and resumed work there with the same company. The Baltimore & Ohio is not going to adopt the Raub locomotive for service between New York and Washington, as has been stated in an item which has been going the rounds of some papers for the last month. The motive power department has looked upon the rumor with considerable amusement, as within the last year and a half its trains have been hauled by some of the fastest and strongest ten-wheel passenger engines in the world. These locomotives have seventy-eight-inch drivers and since they have been in service have proved satisfactory. OSTOV STORES - CLOTHING FOR MEN AND BOYS. A New York retailer's final stock of Clothing and MONO Suits GOODS SOLD AT 400 ON THE DOLLAR. This was another one of those remarkable purchases which have made the Boston Store famous. The entire stock consists of men's and boys' suits, pants and overcoats, men's underwear and men's shirts. They are all now goods, the bulk of them being bought for this fall's and winter's trade. We can truly say never before have we purchased such a large, now stylish lot of clothing and furnishing goods at so small a price. Even when we made the offer we did not think it would be accepted, because according to the quality and quantity of this stock, our price was really less than half its value, but spot cash did it. This sale will begin Saturday, Nov. 5. Watch Friday evening and Saturday morning's papers for the particulars of the great sale over held at the Boston Store. BOSTON STORE, OMAHA, 16th and Douglas Sts. Big auction will be held in the French Court, International hall. All imported leather trunks and other furniture, two dining rooms, sleeping rooms, mahogany and marble tables and cabinet polished serves, show cases, counters, etc. Sale begins 3 p.m., Saturday. E.E. Atherton, auctioneer. Buffington Too Early to Go to Florida Yes, but not too early to inquire about routes and rates. Our city and depot agents will gladly tell you what it costs to reach St. Augustine, Jacksonville or any other of the many delightful resorts in the Everglade state. Write or call.

MILLING IN TRANSIT RATE Union Pacific the Only Road that Grants Omaha This Privilege, GRAIN MEN STILL DISCUSS SITUATION Violent and Concerted Action Unfolding to Secure Better Handling of Grain in Transit and Transit for Transit, "There must be vigorous and concerted action all along the line if Omaha over gets milling-in-transit rates on grain," remarked X. Merrick of the Halsey & Merrick Elevator company, when discussing the matter. "At the present time the Union Pacific is the only railroad company that is making the rate. The other roads push the grain right on through Omaha, taking it either to Chicago or St. Louis. "This milling-in-transit rate is a matter that has been discussed and harped upon in Nebraska during the past twenty years and we are just as far from a solution now as when it was first agitated. In addition to the rate, Omaha needs more elevators and more capital. The capital to handle the grain would undoubtedly come if the elevators were built, and they would be built if the town was placed upon the same basis with reference to rates as Kansas City, Minneapolis and Chicago. Of course, all of the roads having through lines are opposed to making the rate and consequently this is not a grain market. There is enough country tributary to Omaha to make it a good market for wheat and all other kinds of grain, but the market will not be made until some concerted action is taken. At the present time we are discriminated against in favor of Chicago, Kansas City and Minneapolis and if a car of grain is stopped here and then sent on it has to pay the local rate, instead of getting a pro rata of the through rate." Secretary Lut of the Commercial club admits that the Omaha grain market is being discriminated against, but sees no way of securing relief. "Withering Man on a Situation. "What is really wanted is an arrangement with the railroads for storage-in-transit rates," remarked a prominent freight official of one of the Omaha terminal lines to a Bee reporter yesterday. He continued: "The term 'milling-in-transit rate' is a misnomer as applied to the local situation. There can be no milling-in-transit rate where there is no milling. In Minneapolis they have a milling-in-transit rate from the railroads which allows the grain to be stopped there, taken to the mills and the products sent on as though the whole constituted one shipment. "This cannot be applied to Omaha as there are no milling industries here. What we have here and in Council Bluffs are a number of large elevators, and a storage-in-transit rate would be useful in building up the elevator industry here if there were an assurance of more elevators. At present, and for some time past, the elevators of both Omaha and Council Bluffs have been taxed to their utmost capacity. As they are full most of the time new elevators should be in sight before attempting to get the railroads to put in rates that would allow a greater amount of grain to be stored here. "The storage-in-transit rates might be made for sixty days. By this I mean the grain to be brought in here and stored for sixty days, then sent from here to any market desired without additional freight charges for the privilege of the stop here for storage. But accommodations for additional storage must be provided if it is desired to get more grain stored here. The storage-in-transit rates alone would not accomplish the desired results. "At present there is in effect here, as in Kansas City, a plan of transfer-in-transit rates on the railroads. For instance, the Union Pacific railroad brings a quantity of grain from Nebraska to Omaha or Council Bluffs, but will not let it go east in the company's cars. It must be transferred to the cars of the Iowa lines. Formerly this had to be done through the elevators. A considerable part of it still is, but the Burlington and the Rock Island roads have built elevated tracks in Council Bluffs, so that they can run the cars with the grain from the west above the cars that are to take it east and effect the transfer of grain from one set of cars to the other without going to the elevator at that. More Elevators Wanted. The Teavey company is now building a large elevator in Council Bluffs. If more elevators can be secured for Omaha and Council Bluffs, stor-age-in-transit rates will undoubtedly be brought about. If the storage capacity here is increased and the railroad companies asked to put in storage-in-transit rates at Omaha, I have no doubt but that they will do it. The matter should be taken up by the Board of Trade or other strong commercial organization before a meeting of the traffic officials of all western lines, for one road would probably not act in the matter without the other roads being willing to cooperate. Innovation for the Launching of the Battleship Wisconsin. All Milwaukee is agitated over the christening of the new battleship Wisconsin, which is to take place in San Francisco sometime in November. This has lately been made doubly so by the Joseph Schitz Brewing Co. of that city by their proposition to the battleship commission that the boat be christened with a bottle of their beer instead of champagne, as is the custom. This proposition is being agitated on the ground that champagne is un-American and also that the American people have old, hackneyed ideas. The Schitz people have proposed making a very elaborate design for the bottle and cork and propose to make the occasion a memorable one if the commission accepts their proposition. The Only Railroad to Chicago. With a daylight train. Leaves Omaha 6:40 a.m. every day, arriving Chicago the same evening at 8:15, when close connections are made with all lines beyond.

HAYDEN BROS. Amusement. The return of "Ole Olson" assures an evening of pleasure. The production is better than ever before, for in addition to all new specialties, features, songs, etc., nearly all the old favorites have been retained, including Miss St. George Hussey, the Irish queen, who will receive a hearty welcome when the company appears here Sunday matinee and night. The attraction for tonight, tomorrow matinee and night at Boyd's is the extravaganza, "Gayest Manhattan," one of the brightest burlesques on New York fads and fancies ever written. The piece treats of the adventures of a typical Yankee farmer, giving a host of clever specialty people a grand opportunity. The first scene is a capital reproduction of The Mall in Central Park. Here Prindle gets his first view of New York life. Imitations of every character and crank familiar to the metropolis appear. A feature of the act is the chorus of nurse girls and bicycle girls. The second act finds the characters in the ballroom of the Waldorf and gives opportunity for brilliant satire on society life. The last act shows the stage at Koster & Bial's famed music hall. The good attendance at the Wonderland theater this week bespeaks well of the management and character of the entertainment. As this is to be one of Omaha's permanent amusement resorts, it is gratifying to note the number of women and children attending the afternoon performances. The DeClaryville's double high trapeze act both pleases and electrifies, while the butterfly dance by Dorothy Rushton has captured the ladies. This week there are fourteen people on the vaudeville stage, presenting a very refined and moral entertainment. Ten cents admits to all. The sterling vaudeville bill being offered by the popular Trocadero this week has its worth testified to by large audiences. This week there are Arthur Dunn, Mattie Nichols, Ziska, the DeSablo, Million and Shields, the Upward trio, and others. Commencing Sunday matinee, the peerless Corina makes her first appearance in vaudeville. Seats for the Trocadero performances may now be obtained a week in advance. Splendid ball of the season given by the W. M. Y. H. society. Washington hall, Saturday evening, November 12. Gentlemen, 35c; ladies, 25c.

A disaster at B a , fortunately with a small loss of life nvo people lu all was made known today by the landing here of twenty-two people who escaped from the burning Fteamer Croatan of the Clyde line , bound from New York for Wilmington , N. C. The file occurred on November 1 about eighteen miles north of Cape Charles and about 126 inllcft from New York , from which the steamer sailed Monday with a general cargo and eight passengers. At 3 o'clock In the afternoon the burned hull of the blc freighter sank beneath the waves. Of the twenty-seven people on the boat twenty-two have survived. These pas- nongers were landed at thin port this after noon by the schooner Alice Clark of Port land , Mo. , which was In the vicinity of the Croatan at the tlrao It was burning.

JAMES CURTIS , wife of steward. JENNIE WILLARD , colored , of Wilming ton. ton.The Croatan was but twenty hours from 'Now ' York , on Its way to Wilmington , and 'going at a good rate of speed , with n smooth tea and calm weather , when at 3 p. m. a fireman came hurriedly on deck and reported that the ship was on lire. A general alarm was Immediately given and an effort was made to lower the boats , but the flro npread with such rapidity that all efforts to roach them were unavailing because of the llames. Jn less than ten minutes after the flro was reported the ship was completely enveloped Jn names from stem to Btcrn. Shortly after the flro was discovered an explosion took place in the cargo , which blew off the after batches. , * , All Hnndii Jump Orcrbonnl. A second explosion1 followed a few minutes later and ! $ o ship was then a mass of 'flamel. ' il was tit this tme ( that Captain Hale , Boeing that.to remain on the vessel meant euro death , gave orders for all hands io Jump overboard and saV themselves as best ithey could. The caplaln was tbo last raau to leave the Bhlp , remaining on deck with hla first officer until they were com pletely enveloped in flames and the vessel bad commenced to sink. There seemed to bo no panic on board and men and women , after lashing on their Jlfo preservers , calmly leaped Into the water , knowing that their chances of escape were much more certain than if they re mained on board the burning ship. Some of the passengers had their faces scorched and many had their clothing on flro when they leaped Into the sea. The captain anil first olllcer succeeded In securing a yawl boat , which had been damaged In lowering , and by hard work rescued eight persons from the water. The burning ship was sighted by the four- masted BChooner Alice Clark of Portland Captain Clark , from Norfolk for Portland which lay about six mllca off , and Its cap tain sent a boat and crew to aid tn the work of rcsclie.

SPAIN REFUSES TO GIVE UP Reply to American Dfmand Based on Ita Interpretation of Protocol. ONLY ANOTHER PLAY TO GAIN TIME American Cnmmlxnlonrrn Confident of neliiK Alilr to IlcniolUh Spanish Contention No Hint of IlrenU- OII .Negotiation * . ( CopyrlRht , 1S9S , by Press Publishing : Co. ) PARIS , Nov. 4. ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) The proceed ings of the Peace commission are pursuing a perfectly normal course. Tbo Spanish commissioners presented at today's session a lengthy reply to the American proposal [ espectltiK the Philippines , which only touches Incidentally on questions of debt , but Is an elaborate legal argument In support - port i of the Spanish contention that the protocol - tocol states no claim for a demand of the cession of the Islands. The Spanish commlsi sioners' rely also on the alleged fact that ttis United States , through Jule Cambon , de manded only the evacuation of Manila and Its occupation until the signature of a peace treaty , to which Due Almodovar assented In a dispatch to Cambon , stating Spain , agreed to these conditions , reserving entirely Its rights to sovereignty over the archipelago , thereby showing It did not understand the word "disposition" In article 3 of the pro tocol to Imply the possibility of the United States asking for the cession ot Spain's sovereign rights. The Introduction of these dispatches by the Spanish created surprise' among the American commission as not only being contrary to usage , but proving how closely the French government Is Identifying itself with the Spanish cause , for the consent of the French foreign ofllce must have been obtained before the Spanish commissioners were allowed to utilize these dispatches. The Spanish reply also set forth the United Statrn Is bound to adhere to the letter ot the protocol aa closely In relation to Manila as In Cubj , where the lines ot the protocol were rigidly observed. Spain finally demands - mands Indemnity from the United States for having disposed of money in the public treasury at Manila , for having seized cus toms receipts and detained the Spanish garrison risen , so preventing It from overcoming the insurgents , all of which It Is asserted took place after the suspension of hostilities. On the Philippine debt proposal sub mitted by the American commission at the , last meeting Spain replies : "It Is quite Ira- possible to permit any foreign state to enter Into such Investigation of the private finan cial transactions of Spain as would be In volved by complying with the American de mand to differentiate between objects for which the debt was expended. " The ingenuity and audacity of the Span ish reply is fully appreciated by the American , ican commissioners , but It can be disposed of with little difficulty. The prolixity with which the Spanish argument is presented Is apparent when it is stated Its perusal occupied ninety-five minutes in reply to the ' United States proposal , which only took : thrco minutes to read , i can state the ' opinion of tha American commlssltm is ttUil the Spanish reply meaiu nothing more than 1 the characteristic Spanish Indisposition to 1 come to terms until driven Into a corner , as 1 on tha Cuban debt question. There is nothing - ing whatever In the action of the Spanish i commissioners to Indicate any desire to terminate the negotiations and though i these may be more prolonged than at first t anticipated , there are no symptoms of a pos sible rupture. The commission adjourned l until Tuesday , when the American reply will bo delivered. ON THE FASJJODA QUESTION Premier Snllnlmry Snyn France In AVlNe In Ilcrlillnir to Ret Ont of LONDON , Nov. 4. The banquet given to General Kitchener nt the Mansion housu to night was an exceptionally brilliant affair. A trophy of British and Egyptian flags entwined ! twined had been arranged above 'tho ' lord ! mayor's seat. The guests Included the duke of Cambridge , the marquis of Salisbury and [ other cabinet ministers , Lord Roberts of [ Kandahar , Lord Strathcona and Mount ; Royal , Sir William Vernon Harcourt , Lord I Rosebery , Lord Wolseley , the commander In i chief of the British forces ; Lord Russell I of Klllov.-en , the lord chief Justice of Eng land ; Lord Curzon of Kedlcston , the newly appointed viceroy of Inflla ; Sir Joseph Lls- ttcr , president of the Royal society ; the duke of Marlborough , Henry White , the United I States charge d'affaires ; Baron Rothschild , Judge Lambert Tree , formerly United States minister to Russia , and others of the high est rank In the British empire. In all there were about 330 guest present. The lord mayor received his guests In the grand salon. General Kitchener was ot- Mred In the uniform of a major general of the British army , with the ribbon of the Osmanleh order. He was greeted with tre mendous cheering from the assembled guests. After the loving cup had been circulated the lord mayor toasted the queen , the prince and princess of Wales and the royal family , to which the duke of Cambridge responded. Lord Rosebery toasted the army and navy , paying a glowing tribute to Lord Kitchener and his gallant comrades and to Lord Cromer and 'the Egyptians and Soudanese forces. Admiral Sir Newell Salmon , first and prin cipal aide-de-camp to the queen , responded for the navy and the secretary of state for war. Lord Lansdowne , for the army. The assembly greeted the rising of the marquis of Salisbury to toast the sirdar with nervous alienee , as it hod been whispered that he had an Important and grave state ment to make. Hh statement was Impor tant , but It was pacific , as ho announced a settlement of the chief difficulty with France The premier said In part : No ono can wonder at the vast enthusiasm by which tbe caret r of this great soldier has been received , especially when wo consider the strange dramatic Interest of the circum stances and conditions amid which his laurels were won by the sirdar. Besides be ing a splendid soldier he Is ulno a splendid diplomatist. The sirdar has recently expressed the hope that the difficulties arising from the pres ence ot Major Marchand may be within the power of diplomacy to adjust. I am glad to say that up to a certain point he has proved n true prophet. This afternoon I received from the French ambassador the Information that the French government has como to the conclusion that the occupation of Fashoda Is of no sort of value ( prolonged laughter and cheiirn ) and that they thought , in the circumstances , that to persist In an occupation which would only cost them money and do barm merely because some bad advisers thought It might be disagreeable to an unwelcome neighbor- would not show the wisdom with which , as I think , the French republic has been uni formly guided. They have done what I believe every gov ernment would have done In the eamo posi tion resolved that the occupation must cease. ( Cheers. ) I must not be understood as saying that all causes of controversy are removed. Doubtless there will be many dls- evasions between us , but a somewhat arnte and bomewhat dangerous cause of differences has befn removed General Kitchenerhoe recly was mod est , gave unstinted prAlser to the British , Egyptian and Soudanese-'troops. The sirdar said he would Indeed ' hnvty'bcen an Incapa- able leader If he had failed of victory with such soldiers. He gave some details as to the experlenco of the expedition , dwelling with pride upon its cheapness and , In sum ming up "the s 3ts thaljjjremaln , " referred to " 600 miles ot railway , gunboats , a flotilla ot tailing craft and. " after a pause , "the Soudan. " ( Laughter and applause. ) A striking feature of the occasion was the presence of a number' of young officers ot the guards , life guards and twenty first Lancers who had semdtVlth the sirdar. Several of them were tramded and walked with crutches or with th lr arms In slings. DECIDE "TO GIVEffP FASHODA Scinl-oniclnl Xotelttmed In rat-In Mlnlntry Will EirMnln UN Mo tived In the j mmhcr.

Amid gr eat animation the new premier , M. Dupuy , read the ministerial declaration. Ho began 'by declaring the cabinet fully recognized tlje difficulties and responsibilities of the task undertaken and i affirmed the supremacy of civil power as the fundamental principle of a republican state and expressed confidence In the army , which , he added , would faithfully rcspoct the laws of the republic. The premier said further : "In the opin ions of Individuals , tills "in the only safe means of calming the public mind , dis turbed I by an affair which cannot much longer 1 cause anxiety to the republic. Other j questions i call for the attention and vlgl- lance 1 ot a great people , the permanent In terests of the nation at _ home and abroad , Its greatness aud prosp'eritywill be the predominating object of our cares and duties. " I ' M. Dupuy then emphasized the Imperative necessity of fulfilling tho'obligations of the i | . exposition ' of 1900 , and continued : "France 1 must ' neglect nothing to maintain the posl- | I tlon she has won by herMoyalty , strength | ; and love of peace. She rouet devote herself i ; ' to strengthening this position , which was i consecrated before the whole world by a j precious alliance. The government's for eign policy will be Inspired by the clear ! , Interests of the country and care will be taken that our efforts are only proportionate to the value of the object at stake. " , In conclusion the premier said that the ministry would rely upon the support of a purely republican majority and he expressed the hope that it would give effect to the continuous policy of progress and reform. After the budget Tras y&yj , the premier said the chamber wul < yasked o deal with \/luutiu.'AtjXiurwTlai-udIflc \ ) ! ( ' bills to foster agriculture. The ministerial declaration was applauded lu both the Cham- her of Deputies and the Senate. In the Chamber of Deputies , M. Mlrman , socialist , opened a discussion upon the general 'policy of the government. He complained of the reactionary tendency In the army and 1n the dismissal of pro-Dreyfus university profes- sors. M. Dupuy replied that the govern- mcnt did not Intend to Introduce new laws , as these already existing sufficed to guar antee order and protect the army. As to the Drefus case , the premier added that light would be thrown on it the day the court returns Its decision , which will be enforced by the government. The declaration was , applauded. I Continuing , M. Dupuy said : "Wo do not' I ' ' leave the national army a butt to the cam paign of Insult waged against It It wo place ' It above tbo blind polemics which futllely I ' seek to throw unjust responsibilities upon 1 | I It. The army IB still more entitled to the 1 , i solicitude and protection of the public powi ! i crs since It can only work us equally for the 1 | | , security of the country In quietude and si- | i lence. It is equally necessary that calmness 1 attend the work ot Justice and respeot ot our' ' , duty is to insure the execution ot its de- clslons whatever they may be. " The minister of finance , M. Peytrnl , Intro duced the budget , and M. Delcasse , the min ister of foreign affairs , replying to demands for the discussion of the Fashoda question , said ho was unable to fix a date for It , in . view of the Interests he had to safeguard , f but he added he hoped to arrange an early date for its discussion.

ADDRESSES A BIG CROWD AT PLATTSMOUTH , the iHKiien of the Dny and .SlKMtn Up the Fitllnelea of 1'op- ourntlu Cliilmn Set Forth In the Campaign. PLATTSMOUTH , Neb. , Nov. 4. ( Spcclnl Telegram. ) If the state central committees of the fusion party could have stepped Into White's opera house In this city tonight they would have been frightened Into hys terics at the great outpouring of Cass suf fragists. They came from all walks of life and manifested the deepest Interest In the assistant secretary of war , George D. Meiklcjohn , and his mauterly address. The audience was composed of members of all parties anil they had no hesitancy In show- Ing I their approval of the patriotic utter- nnccs of the distinguished speaker. Old , settlers who have attended political meetj Ings here for years say the attendance was the largest they ever saw. Early In the evening the Bohemian band , an excellent musical organization , called nt the ' Hotel Illley nml serenaded the socrex tarj' ' , who was Intsy meeting old acquaint- nnccs whom ho had not been for years. ' When he and his escort reached the opera house ' they found It filled and many persons who were unable to secure seats or com fortable f standing room were going away. Mayor I P. > M. Ultchey acted as chairman. He 1 Introduced Ernest Pollard , candidate for representative , who made a brief but strong plea for the support of Judge Hayward for governor. f When Mr. IMclklejohn was Introduced th audience gave him a royal welcome. Ha entered Immediately Into the discussion of those subjects which are demanding the at tention of the voters' of today. He sal.l he believed that the man who misrepresented facts should be punished. So should the organization which Is a party to that mis | representation. The fuslonlsts of two years i ago had prophesied dire evils If the repub lican party were placed In power. They attacked ; tacked ! the supreme court of this country 'because ' It declared the Income tax law un- j" constitutional. They raid the law of In junction was an Instrument of the devil , manufactured ' for the purpose of depressing American citizenship. They went out be fore ' the people with a cavalcade headed by sixteen ' white horses and one yellow. They are looking again for that cavalcade , but It has ' yet not come In sight. Mr. Melklejohu said every city In the daya of < 1S98 Illustrated the hard times. First skilled ' labor suffered and then unskilled labor felt the Iron grip of the stringent forces. Those great arteries of trafllc , the railroads , did not escape. They were forced to cut down expenses. When the Income does not equal the expenditures an employer ! sets about to lessen the expenditures , so the machinist was called from his bench , the engineer and fireman from their cab.

Six million men were given employment , where only 3,000,000 had been working before. He thought this was abundant evidence that It Is time to rlso above partisan Influence and cast a ballot on business principles. MulCluley'H lloiid Sale. In the course of his remarks Mr. Melkle- john made a comparison of the sale of bonds under 'the two administrations. When the Cleveland leaders had $202,000,000 worth of bonds to dispose of , they sent to New York for bids. A syndicate of ten men wt.it down to Washington and purchased them , making a clean $1,000.000. How different It was under William MeKlnley. While the treasury was depleted under his predeces- sor's reign , the people , too , were In hard straits. When it was found necessary to iell $200,000,000 In bonds , Mr. McKlnloy sent for Secretary of the Treasury Gage and said : "When the dies are made for these bonds see that the de-nominations shall not exceed $500 and none be less than $20. Then ho asked the American people how many of the bonds they w'anted. Less than two years before capital was frightened and those who were so fortunate ns to have money were afraid to Invest It. How was it now ? Bids were received directly from iho people for seven times the amount to bo sold. The largo bids received no attention. No purchaser was allowed no moro than $4,180 worth of bonds. So these securities were Issued to 323,000 people. A few days later they wore quoted at $1.03 In New York. This money found Its way Into the pockets of the people , hibtead of the cotters of the money changers. Another act of the president's was referred to In the collection of the Union Poc'Dc ' debt. The tuslonlsts have argued for years that the $50,000,000 loaned to the Union Pacific road was lost. When the reorganization committee mot In New York City It was de cided to offer less than $7,000,000 of the aggregate - gregato principal and Interest. President McKlnloy most emphatically refused to PC- cept It and a few daya later every dollar of the entire Indobtednss had been paid. Mr. Melklejohn congratulated the people . of Plattsraouth upon having such a strong ; | company of soldiers In the Third regiment | j They had responded nobly to the call and shown their patriotism and love ot their common country.

As reported In The Ilco this morning a committee of tax payers from I'awneo county came up hen1 last I evening lo look Into the records , and also to Inquire Into the responsibility of the principal bondsmen , who arc residents of Lancaster county. The work of the com nilttce was performed In a bublnesallko wa.v , and the report was so unanimous as to leave no doubt about the condition of affairs In quired Into by the committee. Although J the state officials had notice that the com mittee was here , they offered no cxplana tion of the record. None of the tesldeu hondf'mcn came forward during the day to assert their financial responsibility. The committee was as near non-partls.iu as could be. One member was C. H. Nor rle , rcpub/lcan. who has been In active busi ness In the etato for over thlrty-flvo > ears and who once represented 1'uwnoo county In the state senate. Another was Captain U. ] ' .

Ho was a rock-ribbed democrat until i 1890 , when ho turned populist , and has ] been the mainstay of the populist and fusion i parties In his part of the county ovrr since. i Ho Is a farmer , miller and storii raiser. < The other member of the committee was Frank Kovanda , Jr. , a young hardware merchant of Table Rock and a member of one of the most prominent and wealthy Do- hemlnn families In the southeast part of thu state.

We find no evidence to show thnf either Harwood or Brown are we.ilihy men or that they could cither of them nioet the liabilities on the various bondH they havn signed. Under the circumstances we arc convinced that , so far an the bondsmen mentioned hvreln uro concoined , the approval of the said bond of J.

OMAHA, DAILY ESTABLISHED JUNE 10, 1871. OMAHA, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 5, 1898 TWELVE PAGES. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. SHIP CROATAN LOST Vessel Collides with and Sinks Off Cape Charles Tuesday Afternoon, FIVE PERSONS GO DOWN IN THE WRECK Twenty-Two Out of Twenty-Seven Persons Escape, EXPLOSIONS FOLLOW FIRE IN THE CARGO Clyde Line Steamer Bound from New York for Wilmington. ALL HANDS HAD TO JUMP OVERBOARD Survivors Are Rescued from an Exploded Condition - the Steamer Clark, Captain Saves * Twelve VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass., Nov. 4. A disaster at sea, fortunately with a small loss of life, was made known today by the landing here of twenty-two people who escaped from the burning steamer Croatan of the Clyde line, bound from New York for Wilmington, N.C. The file occurred on November 1 about eighteen miles north of Cape Charles and about 126 miles from New York, from which the steamer sailed Monday with a general cargo and eight passengers. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the burned hull of the big freighter sank beneath the waves. Of the twenty-seven people on the boat twenty-two have survived. These passengers were landed at this port this afternoon by the schooner Alice Clark of Portland, Me., which was in the vicinity of the Croatan at the time it was burning. The Croatan's list of drowned is as follows: M'CANTRY, second assistant engineer, of Nova Scotia. JAMES CURTIS, steward, of Jersey City. FRANK, older; last name unknown. Passengers: MRS. JAMES CURTIS, wife of steward. JENNIE WILLARD, colored, of Wilmington. The Croatan was but twenty hours from New York, on its way to Wilmington, and going at a good rate of speed, with a smooth sea and calm weather, when at 3 p.m. a fireman came hurriedly on deck and reported that the ship was on fire. A general alarm was immediately given and an effort was made to lower the boats, but the fire spread with such rapidity that all efforts to reach them were unavailing because of the flames. In less than ten minutes after the fire was reported the ship was completely enveloped in names from stem to stern. Shortly after the fire was discovered an explosion took place in the cargo, which blew off the aft hatches. All Hands Jump Overboard. A second explosion followed a few minutes later and by that time the ship was a mass of flames. It was at this time that Captain Hale, perceiving that to remain on the vessel meant sure death, gave orders for all hands to jump overboard and save themselves as best they could. The captain was the last to leave the ship, remaining on deck with his first officer until they were completely enveloped in flames and the vessel had commenced to sink. There seemed to be no panic on board and men and women, after lashing on their life preservers, calmly leaped into the water, knowing that their chances of escape were much more certain than if they remained on board the burning ship. Some of the passengers had their faces scorched and many had their clothing on fire when they leaped into the sea. The captain and first officer succeeded in securing a yawl boat, which had been damaged in lowering, and by hard work rescued eight persons from the water. The burning ship was sighted by the four-masted schooner Alice Clark of Portland, Capt. Clark, from Norfolk for Portland, which lay about six miles off, and its captain sent a boat and crew to aid in the work of rescue. They succeeded in rescuing twelve persons, many of whom had been an hour or more in the water and had become nearly exhausted. No explosives were known to be among the Croatan's cargo and the origin of the fire is a mystery to officers and crew.

THE GAME AT HAVANA Lumbering Operations Employed on the Works. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: Chief Quarter Master Williams does not expect any troops until December 1. The organization for work on the site selected at Guanabacoa is nearly completed. It is expected that 200 carpenters will be obtained locally. Others will be brought from Key West. Four hundred altogether will be employed on the works. The landing at Playa Mariano is being hurriedly pushed forward. Sixty-nine Cubans are employed, mostly from Menocal's camp in the vicinity. They are paid $1.90 in Spanish silver daily. On the first pay day only three of the number could sign their names. The American officials complain of their uselessness in work. They say that one American laborer is worth five Cubans. They fear the delay of the work and the heavy expense of this class of labor. Engineer von Leer, in charge of the construction of the camps and waterworks, will build a reservoir, drawing a supply from a large number of local springs. The location of the camps is highly approved. Experts here say it is the healthiest spot in the vicinity of Havana. Wheeler Inspects the Celebration. MOBILE, Ala., Nov. 4, General Joe Wheeler and staff, consisting of Captain J. K. Thompson, Major H. S. Turrell, and Major Charles E. Penny, arrived from Huntsville today and were met by a committee. The party joined the Mobile & Ohio railroad mayor and local military officers on a private car to Chickasaw, where General Wheeler will inspect the proposed site of the army ammunition depot. Through the streets was a continuous oration. From the car he made a short address. The purport of the address was the future of Alabama and southern states in commercial relation with the territory which the United States has acquired "by force of circumstances." The general holds a public reception tonight and will be tendered a banquet. TROOPS TO OCCUPY CUBA Advices from the Cuban military commission today are to the effect that the Spanish evacuation of Puerto Principe will take place earlier than the 23rd, and that it will be desirable to send the troops, designated in the order issued today, as early as the 15th. The transport Chester, which will carry a regiment, probably will sail from Savannah on the 8th, with the Fifteenth Infantry, which is to go to the town of Puerto Principe. The Eighth cavalry and the Third Georgia will follow soon afterward. A general order was issued today designating the troops for occupation in Cuba. It is as follows: HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. The secretary of war directs that the following troops be held in readiness to proceed to the Island of Cuba and to occupy the stations herein designated, the movement to take place from time to time under instructions to be communicated hereafter: First Army corps, headquarters at Cienfuegos.

Four heavy battalions, to be hereafter designated, will be assigned as follows: Two to the garrison of Havana and two to Matanzas. The Second, Sixth and Tenth United States cavalry will remain with the Fourth Army Corps until detached for embarkation. Corps commanders are charged with the preparation of their commands for these movements. The quartermaster general will make timely arrangements for the transportation, not only of the commands but the necessary impediments. Hospitals will, as far as possible, be provided in advance of the arrival of troops. Subsistence to meet the needs of the above service will be fully provided. By command of Major General Miles. Adjutant General. No provision is made regarding the Fourth Corps now at Huntsville under command of General Wheeler, although it may be sent to Cuba. The First Corps is under command of Major General James H. Wilson, and the Seventh under General Fitzhugh Lee. The Second Corps is under the temporary command of General Young, but there is a possibility that when it reaches Havana, General Wade, now on the Cuban commission, will be assigned to command it.

A special to the Star from Jefferson City, Mo., says: James H. Aldrich, who was sent to the penitentiary here in May, 1897, to serve a two years' sentence for stealing $27,000 from the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis railway, whose paymaster and cashier he had been for years, was released today, his term having expired under the good-behavior rule. He was immediately rearrested on a warrant sworn out by the American Surety company, which had gone on his bond and was compelled to make good his shortage. Aldrich's sentence just served was pronounced on but one of the three indictments found against him on the same count. The surety company will push the case against him on the other two indictments. Aldrich took his release coolly. On his arrival in Kansas City, it is said, ball will be furnished by wealthy friends, who will also furnish money to fight his case. Aldrich, who is 45 years of age, was well and favorably known for years both in club and business circles in Kansas City, where he has a wife and child.

SPAIN REFUSES TO GIVE UP Reply to American Demand Based on Its Interpretation of Protocol. ONLY ANOTHER PLAY TO GAIN TIME American Commissioners Confident of Being Able to Convince Spanish of Necessity for Withdrawal from Philippines. No Hint of Brown Negations. (Publisher, 1898, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Nov. 4. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) The proceedings of the Peace commission are pursuing a perfectly normal course. The Spanish commissioners presented at today's session a lengthy reply to the American proposal respecting the Philippines, which only touches incidentally on questions of debt, but is an elaborate legal argument in support of the Spanish contention that the protocol states no claim for a demand of the cession of the Islands. The Spanish commissioners rely also on the alleged fact that the United States, through Jules Cambon, demanded only the evacuation of Manila and its occupation until the signature of a peace treaty, to which Due Almodovar assented in a dispatch to Cambon, stating Spain agreed to these conditions, reserving entirely its rights to sovereignty over the archipelago, thereby showing it did not understand the word "disposition" in article 3 of the protocol to imply the possibility of the United States asking for the cession of Spain's sovereign rights. The introduction of these dispatches by the Spanish created surprise among the American commission as not only being contrary to usage, but proving how closely the French government is identifying itself with the Spanish cause, for the consent of the French foreign office must have been obtained before the Spanish commissioners were allowed to utilize these dispatches. The Spanish reply also set forth that the United States is bound to adhere to the letter of the protocol as closely in relation to Manila as in Cuba, where the lines of the protocol were rigidly observed. Spain finally demands indemnity from the United States for having disposed of money in the public treasury at Manila, for having seized customs receipts and detained the Spanish garrison, thereby preventing it from overcoming the insurgents, all of which it is asserted took place after the suspension of hostilities. On the Philippine debt proposal submitted by the American commission at the last meeting, Spain replies: "It is quite impossible to permit any foreign state to enter into such investigation of the private financial transactions of Spain as would be involved by complying with the American demand to differentiate between objects for which the debt was expended." The ingenuity and audacity of the Spanish reply is fully appreciated by the American commissioners, but it can be disposed of with little difficulty. The prolixity with which the Spanish argument is presented is apparent when it is stated its perusal occupied ninety-five minutes in reply to the United States proposal, which only took three minutes to read. I can state the opinion of the American commission is that the Spanish reply means nothing more than the characteristic Spanish indisposition to come to terms until driven into a corner, as on the Cuban debt question. There is nothing whatever in the action of the Spanish commissioners to indicate any desire to terminate the negotiations and though these may be more prolonged than at first anticipated, there are no symptoms of a possible rupture. The commission adjourned until Tuesday, when the American reply will be delivered. ON THE FASHODA QUESTION Premier Stanley Shaw France In Arriving in Relating to Get Out LONDON, Nov. 4. The banquet given to General Kitchener at the Mansion house tonight was an exceptionally brilliant affair. A trophy of British and Egyptian flags entwined had been arranged above the lord mayor's seat. The guests included the duke of Cambridge, the marquis of Salisbury and other cabinet ministers, Lord Roberts of Kandahar, Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Lord Rosebery, Lord Wolseley, the commander in chief of the British forces; Lord Russell of Kilburn, the lord chief Justice of England; Lord Curzon of Kedleston, the newly appointed viceroy of India; Sir Joseph Lister, president of the Royal society; the duke of Marlborough, Henry White, the United States charge d'affaires; Baron Rothschild, Judge Lambert Tree, formerly United States minister to Russia, and others of the highest rank in the British empire. In all there were about 330 guests present. The lord mayor received his guests in the grand salon. General Kitchener was outfitted in the uniform of a major general of the British army, with the ribbon of the Osmanli order. He was greeted with tremendous cheering from the assembled guests. After the loving cup had been circulated, the lord mayor toasted the queen, the prince and princess of Wales and the royal family, to which the duke of Cambridge responded. Lord Rosebery toasted the army and navy, paying a glowing tribute to Lord Kitchener and his gallant comrades and to Lord Cromer and the Egyptians and Soudanese forces. Admiral Sir Newell Salmon, first and principal aide-de-camp to the queen, responded for the navy and the secretary of state for war. Lord Lansdowne, for the army. The assembly greeted the rising of the marquis of Salisbury to toast the sirdar with nervous anxiety, as it had been whispered that he had an important and grave statement to make. His statement was important, but it was pacific, as he announced a settlement of the chief difficulty with France. The premier said in part: No one can wonder at the vast enthusiasm by which the career of this great soldier has been received, especially when we consider the strange dramatic interest of the circumstances and conditions amid which his laurels were won by the sirdar. Besides being a splendid soldier, he is also a splendid diplomatist. The sirdar has recently expressed the hope that the difficulties arising from the presence of Major Marchand may be within the power of diplomacy to adjust. I am glad to say that up to a certain point he has proved a true prophet. This afternoon I received from the French ambassador the information that the French government has come to the conclusion that the occupation of Fashoda is of no sort of value (prolonged laughter and cheers) and that they thought, in the circumstances, that to persist in an occupation which would only cost them money and do harm merely because some bad advisers thought it might be disagreeable to an unwelcome neighbor would not show the wisdom with which, as I think, the French republic has been uniformly guided. They have done what I believe every government would have done in the same position: resolved that the occupation must cease. (Cheers.) I must not be understood as saying that all causes of controversy are removed. Doubtless there will be many disputes between us, but a somewhat ardent and somewhat dangerous cause of differences has been removed. General Kitchener, in his most modest manner, gave unstinted praise to the British, Egyptian and Soudanese troops. The sirdar said he would indeed "humbly" have been an incompetent leader if he had failed of victory with such soldiers. He gave some details as to the experience of the expedition, dwelling with pride upon its cheapness and, in summing up, "the facts that remain," referred to "600 miles of railway, gunboats, a flotilla of tailing craft and, after a pause, 'the Soudan.' (Laughter and applause.) A striking feature of the occasion was the presence of a number of young officers of the guards, life guards and twenty first Lancers who had served with the sirdar. Several of them were wounded and walked with crutches or with their arms in slings. DECIDE "TO GIVE UP" FASHODA Strategic No Telegraphed in Rat-in Ministry Will End Mo tived in the number. PARIS, Nov. 4. A note issued this evening says that the government has resolved not to retain Major Marchand's mission at Fashoda, adding that this decision was arrived at by the cabinet after an exhaustive examination of the question. The government, replying to a question to be raised in the Chamber of Deputies, will avail itself of the opportunity to explain the motives for this resolution. UNMINISTRY FROM OVER. French Premier Affirms Supremacy of Civil Over Military Power. PARIS, Nov. 4. The Chamber of Deputies reopened today with a crowded assembly, after its adjournment on October 23, the date of the fall of the cabinet presided over by M. Brisson. Amid great animation, the new premier, M. Dupuy, read the ministerial declaration. He began by declaring the cabinet fully recognized the difficulties and responsibilities of the task undertaken and affirmed the supremacy of civil power as the fundamental principle of a republican state and expressed confidence in the army, which, he added, would faithfully respect the laws of the republic. The premier said further: "In the opinions of individuals, this is the only safe means of calming the public mind, disturbed by an affair which cannot much longer cause anxiety to the republic. Other questions call for the attention and vigilance of a great people, the permanent interests of the nation at home and abroad, its greatness and prosperity will be the predominant object of our cares and duties." He then emphasized the imperative necessity of fulfilling the obligations of the exposition of 1900, and continued: "France must neglect nothing to maintain the position she has won by her loyalty, strength and love of peace. She must devote herself to strengthening this position, which was consecrated before the whole world by a precious alliance. The government's foreign policy will be inspired by the clear interests of the country and care will be taken that our efforts are only proportionate to the value of the object at stake." In conclusion, the premier said that the ministry would rely upon the support of a purely republican majority and he expressed the hope that it would give effect to the continuous policy of progress and reform. After the budget presentation, the premier said the chamber would ask to deal with agriculture bills to foster agriculture. The ministerial declaration was applauded in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. In the Chamber of Deputies, M. Mirman, socialist, opened a discussion upon the general policy of the government. He complained of the reactionary tendency in the army and in the dismissal of pro-Dreyfus university professors. M. Dupuy replied that the government did not intend to introduce new laws, as these already existing sufficed to guarantee order and protect the army. As to the Dreyfus case, the premier added that light would be thrown on it the day the court returns its decision, which will be enforced by the government. The declaration was applauded. Continuing, M. Dupuy said: "We do not leave the national army a butt to the campaign of insults waged against it; we place it above the blind polemics which futilely seek to throw unjust responsibilities upon it. The army is still more entitled to the solicitude and protection of the public powers since it can only work equally for the security of the country in quietude and silence. It is equally necessary that calmness attend the work of Justice and respect of our duty is to insure the execution of its decisions whatever they may be." The minister of finance, M. Peyeril, introduced the budget, and M. Delcasse, the minister of foreign affairs, replying to demands for the discussion of the Fashoda question, said he was unable to fix a date for it, in view of the interests he had to safeguard, but he added he hoped to arrange an early date for its discussion. The minister of justice, M. Lebret, replying to a motion providing that all revision cases be submitted to the whole court of cassation instead of to particular departments, said it was impossible to alter the procedure already started in the Dreyfus case. OCCUPY CRETAN FORTRESSES Troops of the Powers Take the Plums Vacated by the Faring Turkish Garrison. CANEA, Crete, Nov. 4. The International troops occupied the fortress at 5 o'clock the morning. Later the Turkish governor handed the foreign admirals a dispatch from the Turkish government, instructing him to retain the remaining Turkish contingents, pending the result of negotiations for the maintenance of garrisons in Crete to represent Turkish sovereignty. Bernhardt Going to India. LONDON, Nov. 4. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) The Daily Telegraph's Paris correspondent confirms the report that Sarah Bernhardt intends to go to India, there to perform for the benefit of the rajahs and also to do some tiger hunting.

ADDRESSES A BIG CROWD AT PLATTSMOUTH the Republic of the Day and Slay Up the Finest of Democrat Club Set Forth In the Campaign. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special Telegram.) If the state central committees of the fusion party could have stepped into White's opera house in this city tonight they would have been frightened into hysterics at the great outpouring of Cass suffragists. They came from all walks of life and manifested the deepest interest in the assistant secretary of war, George D. Mecklenburg, and his maundering address. The audience was composed of members of all parties and they had no hesitancy in showing their approval of the patriotic utterances of the distinguished speaker. Old settlers who have attended political meetings here for years say the attendance was the largest they ever saw. Early in the evening the Bohemian band, an excellent musical organization, called at the Hotel Harley and serenaded the secretary, who was meeting old acquaintances whom he had not seen for years. When he and his escort reached the opera house they found it filled and many persons who were unable to secure seats or comfortable standing room were going away. Mayor P. M. Utchey acted as chairman. He introduced Ernest Pollard, candidate for representative, who made a brief but strong plea for the support of Judge Hayward for governor. When Mr. Mecklenburg was introduced the audience gave him a royal welcome. He entered immediately into the discussion of those subjects which are demanding the attention of the voters of today. He said he believed that the man who misrepresented facts should be punished. So should the organization which is a party to that misrepresentation. The fusionists of two years ago had prophesied dire evils if the republican party were placed in power. They attacked the supreme court of this country because it declared the income tax law unconstitutional. They said the law of injunction was an instrument of the devil, manufactured for the purpose of depressing American citizenship. They went out before the people with a cavalcade headed by sixteen white horses and one yellow. They are looking again for that cavalcade, but it yet has not come into sight. Mr. Mecklenburg said every city in the days of 1898 illustrated the hard times. First skilled labor suffered and then unskilled labor felt the iron grip of the stringent forces. Those great arteries of traffic, the railroads, did not escape. They were forced to cut down expenses. When the income does not equal the expenditures an employer sets about to lessen the expenditures, so the machinist was called from his bench, the engineer and fireman from their cab. Throughout this country 60 percent of the railroad men were without employment. On July 27, when the Dingley bill went into effect, the machinist was summoned back to his lathe, the engineer and conductor to their train. Six million men were given employment, where only 3,000,000 had been working before. He thought this was abundant evidence that it is time to rise above partisan influence and cast a ballot on business principles. Mulholland's Bond Sale. In the course of his remarks Mr. Mecklenburg made a comparison of the sale of bonds under the two administrations. When the Cleveland leaders had $202,000,000 worth of bonds to dispose of, they sent to New York for bids. A syndicate of ten men went down to Washington and purchased them, making a clean $1,000,000. How different it was under William McKinley. While the treasury was depleted under his predecessor's reign, the people, too, were in hard straits. When it was found necessary to sell $200,000,000 in bonds, Mr. McKinley sent for Secretary of the Treasury Gage and said: "When the dies are made for these bonds see that the denominations shall not exceed $500 and none be less than $20. Then he asked the American people how many of the bonds they wanted. Less than two years before capital was frightened and those who were so fortunate as to have money were afraid to invest it. How was it now? Bids were received directly from the people for seven times the amount to be sold. The large bids received no attention. No purchaser was allowed more than $4,180 worth of bonds. So these securities were issued to 323,000 people. A few days later they were quoted at $1.03 in New York. This money found its way into the pockets of the people, instead of the coffers of the money changers. Another act of the president's was referred to in the collection of the Union Pacific debt. The protectionists have argued for years that the $50,000,000 loaned to the Union Pacific road was lost. When the reorganization committee met in New York City, it was decided to offer less than $7,000,000 of the aggregate principal and interest. President McKinley most emphatically refused to accept it and a few days later every dollar of the entire indebtedness had been paid. Mr. Melville congratulated the people of Plattsburgh upon having such a strong regiment, the Third. They had responded nobly to the call and shown their patriotism and love of their common country. They were doing their duty as good soldiers. WEYLER LOOTS THE TREASURY Sheridan's Campaign Sent to Prison on Henry Knitchener's Career Filipino Opened Up. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4. A special to the Chronicle from Manila on September 26 says: Direct evidence connecting General Weyler of Cuban fame with the wholesale looting of the Philippine treasury has been unearthed in Bilibid prison. Maximiliano Hosalgas and Julian Reyes, sent to prison as scapegoats for official thieves, have been liberated by order of Major General Otis, but deliverance came too late for a third prisoner convicted of the same crime, for he died in Bilibid eight days before the American army entered the city. Captain Moffatt, superintendent of the prisons, began his investigation of the cases of the prisoners confined in Bilibid. Hosalgas and Reyes declared that they were unjustly suffering for the crime and begged that their cases be reopened. They averred that Weyler and his associates had looted the treasury of $1,300,000 in Mexican silver and that they had been accused of the crime and sent to jail. Moffatt made a report of the matter to General MacArthur, and an examination of the books at the treasury was ordered. The latter showed that during the Weyler regime several innumerable sums of money had been withdrawn and there was an unsatisfactory showing as to the disposition of it. Rosales was one of the managers at the treasury and goes so far as to declare that Weyler himself came to the treasury to aid in the crime, as he alleges. It has been decided to make full investigation of the case. MARCHAND ARRIVES AT CAIRO He May Return to Paris After The- Final Official Report. CAIRO, Nov. 4. Captain Marchand, bearing confidential instructions from the French government to Major Marchand, arrived here this afternoon in company with that officer, who went to meet him at Ismailia, on the Suez canal. It is said in French circles that Major Marchand, when he dispatched Captain Barre to Fashoda, expected him to go to Khartoum, telegraph his (Marchand's) report to Paris and return immediately to Fashoda. On hearing no news for a week, Major Marchand decided to go to Cairo himself and acquaint the French government with the situation. Now it is understood that he will return to Fashoda and conduct his expedition to Jebel on the Gulf of Aden. KILLED IN LONDON'S STREETS Frederick H. Norman of Kansas City, was run over and killed last evening in Holborn. The body of the deceased is at the Kings College hospital and an inquest will be held on Monday, after which the United States consul general will bury the remains unless Mr. Norman's friends are heard from in the meantime. MISVVE IN JAFFA AND ZEALANDISM. Arrival of the Emperor Heliopolis the Amphlett. JAFFA, Nov. 4. The emperor and empress of Germany and their suites on board the Imperial yacht Hohenzollern started for Beirut at 4 o'clock this afternoon. JERUSALEM, Nov. 4. The emperor and empress of Germany embarked on board a train for Jaffa this morning amidst firing of salutes from the guns of the fortress and cheering of large crowds of people. Their Majesties declared that they were greatly pleased with their visit and shook hands with the principal civil and military authorities. Their Majesties have made themselves most popular with all classes of people, the affability of the emperor being much remarked. He took Arab babies in his arms and comforted their frightened mothers that he was the father of seven children and also complimented them upon the healthfulness of their infants. Approve of Arbitration. VALPARAISO, Nov. 1. The Chilean congress, today approved the protocol between Chile and Argentina for the settlement of the Puna de Atacama dispute and in which William L. Buchanan, United States minister to Argentina, will act as final arbitrator. The government has ordered a suspension of the military preparations. WILL BE NO ASSESSMENT Pennsylvania Persevered for Consolidation of Richard Oil Company in Barron All Over the Country. CHICAGO, Nov. 4. The Tribune tomorrow will say: It is now practically settled that there will be no assessment of the stockholders of the National Linseed Oil company. The deal for the reorganization of this concern on a sound basis will be officially announced some time next week, and the reorganization will be connected with one of the biggest consolidation deals of the year. Negotiations are in quiet progress with all the leading independent linseed mills of the country and present indications are that the participation of enough of them in the deal to give the new combination control practically of the entire linseed oil industry in the country will be secured. The capital stock of the reorganized Linseed Oil company, with now plants to be included, will amount to $17,500,000 preferred stock, with perhaps some common stock as a bonus. Of this amount, $7,500,000 will go to present stockholders. The underwriting of the remaining $10,000,000 is to be assumed by strong financial interests connected with the Central Trust company. This sum will be used in the purchase of additional plants and in paying off floating indebtedness. BIG BOILER GOES TO PIECES Workmen Killed at Plant Wrecked the Tent of New Pacific of Apparatus.

Joe Jefferson is ill. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. Owing to the sudden and serious illness of Joseph Jefferson, who has been playing in "The Rivals" at the Fifth Avenue theater, the audience was dismissed tonight at ten minutes past eight. It was not known until just before the announcement that the veteran actor's illness was more serious than a cold, but his physicians then concluded that pneumonia was indicated and it was decided to close the play until further notice. MESERVE'S BOND IS BAD Nonpartisan Committee from Pawnee County Investigates and Reports. MANY SURETIES PRACTICALLY INSOLVENT Others Are Not Good for Anywhere Near the Amount Signed For. TWO NOT NOW RESIDENTS OF THE STATE Express Surprised the Situation Has Not Induced Governor to Act. EVIDENT COMBINE OF STATE OFFICIALS Reported it is Struggle for Control, Document Discovered by dreadful Means. Dun and Cron Flee for New Paris, In Charge. LINCOLN, Nov. 4. (Special.) State Treasurer J. Meserve has at last been taken at his word and a partial investigation has been made of the official bond under provision of which he is holding office. As reported in The Bee this morning, a committee of taxpayers from Pawnee county came up here last evening to look into the records, and also to inquire into the responsibility of the principal bondsmen, who are residents of Lancaster county. The work of the committee was performed in a business-like way, and the report was so unanimous as to leave no doubt about the condition of affairs inquired into by the committee. Although the state officials had notice that the committee was here, they offered no explanation of the record. None of the remaining bondsmen came forward during the day to assert their financial responsibility. The committee was as near nonpartisan as could be. One member was C. H. Norris, Republican, who has been in active business in the state for over thirty-five years and who once represented Pawnee county in the state senate. Another was Captain U. S. Jennings, who held a commission under Stonewall Jackson in old Virginia and who came to Pawnee county directly after the war. He was a rock-ribbed Democrat until 1890, when he turned populist, and has been the mainstay of the populist and fusion parties in his part of the county over since. He is a farmer, miller, and store raiser. The other member of the committee was Frank Kovanda, Jr., a young hardware merchant of Table Rock and a member of one of the most prominent and wealthy Doheman families in the southeast part of the state. The report of the committee, so far as it was able to find the liability of bondsmen, reads as follows: Liability of the Bond. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 4, 1898. We, the committee, the membership of which is composed of citizens and taxpayers of Pawnee county, Nebraska, and who are delegated on behalf of other citizens of the said county to investigate so far as may be the venue at the bond given by State Treasurer Meserve, do, upon making an examination of the public records at the state capital and at the Lancaster county courthouse, make the following report: We find that the following named persons are signers on the bond of J. S. Hartley and also on that of J. D. Meserve, the liability on each being set opposite their names: Meserve bond. Hartley bond. N. S. Harwood $200,000 $200,000 C. A. Hanna 100,000 on Mary Fitzgerald 150,000 150,000 A. H. Clark 100,000 100,000 E. N. Brown 100,000 100,000 W. A. Fusion 150,000 150,000 Totals $790,000 $1,350,000 In relation to this, we find that these persons when they signed the Meserve bond had not been released from liability on the Hartley bond, which was a liability against them of $1,350,000. We further find that the following persons, residents of Lancaster county, are sureties on the Meserve bond: A. M. Crawford 150,000 J. W. Fullerton 40,000 We find that the said Harwood, Hanna, Clark, Fitzgerald, and Brown signed both the bonds as residents of Lancaster county and each of them took an oath that they were worth the amounts set opposite their names "over and above all liabilities and subject to sale and execution within this state." An examination of the record develops the fact that the aforesaid bondsmen are assessed for personal taxes for the years 1897 and 1898 on the following valuation of property: 1897. 1898. N. S. Harwood $60 $56 J. W. Fullerton 60 60 Mary Fitzgerald 150 150 E. N. Brown none none C. A. Hanna none none A. D. Clark none none A. M. Crawford none none Not yet assessed for Amount. A further inquiry among the business men gives us the information that the seven bondsmen mentioned above and whose liability on the Meserve bond is $730,000 and on the Hartley bond $1,050,000 are not good for the large amount set opposite their names, and, taking into consideration their liability on the Hartley bond, suit upon which is now pending, scarcely a dollar could be collected from any of them should suit be brought on the Meserve bond for any considerable amount. We find that C. A. Hanna and A. B. Clark are not now living in this state; no property is found belonging to A. M. Crawford for 1897 and that J. W. Fullerton has judgments against him in justice court which he has not paid. Much of the property of Mary Fitzgerald is found to be in litigation or incumbered and Mary Fitzgerald herself, one of the signers on the Hartley bond, entered a plea of insanity to avoid liability thereon. We find no evidence to show that either Harwood or Brown are wealthy men or that they could either of them meet the liabilities on the various bonds they have signed. Under the circumstances, we are convinced that, so far as the bondsmen mentioned here are concerned, the approval of the said bond of J. S. Meserve was ill-advised and that the governor of the state, who has the approving power, did not exercise his full duty in investigating the matter and guarding the interests of the taxpayers of the state. We have had no opportunity to further investigate the standing of the bondsmen who live in other parts of the state and cannot report upon them. R. P. Jennings. C. H. Norris. FRANK KOVANDA, JR. Committee. Attached to the report, the committee made a list of the signers on the Meserve bond, other than those reported upon, as follows: George Hackman, Red Willow county, $100,000; V. Franklin, Red Willow, $50,000; J. W. Hupp, Red Willow, $10,000; A. M. Crawford, Lancaster, $30,000; J. W. Fullerton, Lancaster, $40,000; J. H. Evans, Douglas, $100,000; Ernstus A. Bean, Douglas, $25,000; George E. Barker, Douglas, $25,000; William S. Rector, Douglas, $25,000; Frank Kondele, Saunders, $50,000; W. C. Kirchman, Saunders, $50,000; Henry A. Fincher, Saunders, $20,000; Thomas Linnark, Saunders, $20,000; W. J. Harmon, Saunders, $23,000; H. C. Peters, Saunders, $5,000; J. J. Johnson, Saunders, $2,600; T. J. Kirchman, Saunders, $25,000; Ulof Borken, $8,000.

The committee requested that the list of the bondsmen might be published so that the people In other counties might take up the Investigation If they cured to do so. ThU committee- after finding over one-third of the security on the bond to bo worthless , concluded that It would of no use for them to go further Into the matter. Captain Jennings expressed surprise that the bond had been allowed to stand so long without Investigation , when ho found -tout prac tically every business man In Lincoln knew of Its condition. The members of the com mittee , when they looked over the list of wealthy people In the other counties , an shown by the bond , expressed considerable doubt as to the real worth of the men should n sult e brought to recover a. largo amount. In speaking of this they said lhat In their own county , which was ono > of the oldest and best favored In the state , there was not a single Individual who could give a bond for .as' much as' $ F.d,000 and tell the tnith aboiit his liability. And they were naturally skeptical when they read of the great wealth of people In other counties , "over and above their liabilities. " The discussion lends to the Inevitable con clusion that there was a combine In the state house In which Hartley formed a part and that the big men on the Hartley bond were approved on the Meservo bond on an arrangement that the treasury short- ngo was' to .bo fixed up In some way. The deal wan spoiled because promlnbnt' popu lists , again from the extreme , southeast part of the state , Insisted that matters come to a Bhowdown and -the re'sult was that the she t- oge became publicly known and Hartley was arrested. Governor Fill In I" HI" Duty. The constitution provides the Blzo of the bond to bo given by Uio state treasurer and presupposes that It shall bo worth face value. Should the treasurer fall to give the full amount he would bo tnc'ilglblo to hold onice. It therefore follows that at any time the bondsmen arc found to bo worthless the official could -bo Impeached unless he added names necessary to make the whole amot'/.t Kood. It would Eeem also that It was ( he duty of the governor to Inquire Into this and to call for additional bondsmen whenever - over he found the total liability below par. Such a course , however , formed no part of the plans of Iho treasury combine , and M'lthln two months of the approval of the fcoml Holcotnb saw two of tho' bondsmen leave tbo state with no property behind them that could bo reached , and saw others go Into total bankruptcy within the year without uttering a protest. He saw $780,010 of the liability practically wiped out when Bult.jvaa commenced on Cartley's bond on account of the six persons who. wore .QI\ both bonds , and yet he kept silent. Ambi tion for n third term would hot"'allow hlni'to antagonize the other state officials , even If ho had not been a party to the original agreement to keep quiet on all matters af fecting the combine and the "reform of ficials. " No business man can look at the situa tion and figure It In any other way than that the farmers of Interior counties , who signed the bond for small amounts nnd who have kept themselves free from en tanglements on other bonds , would be the only safeguard of the state should them bo another treasury shortage. The matter la not ono to bo discussed entirely as party politics , but should bo viewed In a practical way , the same as was done by the three business men from Pawnee county who were sent by their neighbors to learn the real facts. No amount of abuse c.-.n change the truth of their finding and the people of other counties will do well to take a hand in the work of Investigation.

Acting for the War Investigating commission , Colonel Denby has taken the testimony of General Lawton , who was In command of the Second division of the Fifth corps In the Santiago campaign and who has but recently been relieved of the command of the Department of Santiago. His narration began with the rmbarkatton of the tioops at Tampa Speak ing of the voyage , he said that transports were furnished ns well as could he expected , as thc-y were not troop ships. The medical commissary supplies were sufficient to prevent - vent absolute discomfort. True there was some confusion , owing to misunderstanding of orders , but the general did not believe that any real hardship had b * > tn occasioned thereby. After giving particulars of the landing , General Lawton described his march to Slboney. referred to the battle of Ouaslmas and told how he pushed forward toward El Caney and prepared for the fight there. He said that on the morning before the begin ning of the battle he had laid his plans be fore General Shaftor , and he rode with his brigade commanders over the ground , pointIng - Ing out to each of the , nun the position ho was to occupy. Ilefer'rlng to Iho result of the battle at' El Caney , ho said : "I had Im perative orders to move to my left to the right of General Wheeler's command , but my situation was such that It was Imprac ticable for mo to leave El Caney until I had captured It. " General Lawton said his division had lost 110 men killed and wounded , and that all Iho wounded had been accounted .for. This latter remark was brought out by the sug gestion made by Colonel Dcnby that a state ment had been made to the effect that some of the wounded soldiers wandered Into the woods and wcro never seen again. AVouiuleil All Accounted For. "I never heard that before , " said General Lawton. "All the wounded were accounted for and they were all taken to the field hos pitals. " There were no ambulances , but some litters how many , he did not know. "Knowing there was to be a fight , how docs It happen that you did not have enough llttcre , enough surgeons and the proper hos pital corps ? " Coloner Ounby asked. "Well , I cannot say ihcro wcro not enough , " General Lawton replied. "How do you account for the fact that the medical men did not provide themselves with everything necessary for taking care of the wounded ? " "I think they did provide themselves with everything they thought necessary , consider ing the material they bad to chose from. Tluro was no time to do more or get more surgeons than wo had. They were dis tributed to their various commands. " Tha general cald that while It was dim- cult to get supplies to the men while they lay In 'tho ' trenches from the 2d to the 17th of July ho thought the quantity was suffi cient. There had been no sickness worth mentioning until after the campaign. There had been no tents except the shelter tents which some had until Just previous to the * embarkation for the United States. Asked wh'cro' ho" fixed the" responsibility for not havingtho tents there , General Lawton re plied : "I don't fix It at all. because I don't think there was any responsibility about It. The men were there without tents because " f the fact that It was Impossible to unload them from the ships for lack of time and fa cilities. It Is a dlfllcult matter to unload a ship in a rough st-a. There was very little complaint on account of the tents. Com plaints did not come to mo and 1 was with my mon constantly. That they should have to lie out as they did was ono of the contin gencies absolutely necessary In the conduct of the war. " It was true as reported , he said , that men had to wear their shirts for possibly thirty days without a change , but this was because they had thrown away their extra clothing. Climate WIIM IloHponNlblc. He said the climate was responsible for the sickness that followed the campaign , though It was possible that with more ap propriate food , better cooking and shelter some of the slckneos might have been pre vented. He had , he said , remained In San tiago until about two weeks since , and , while the health condltons were now im proving , tbero had been much suffering among the soldiers left there. "It Is my opinion , " he said , "that any one going from this climate to Cuba will have to suffer that acclimatizing there. I doubt H 1 per cent have escaped absolutely. " Replying to a question whether the navj should not have control of the transports , he said : "No , Indeed. " "You think that the army ought to have control of them ? " "Absolutely , " was the laconic reply. "While they are acting together ? " Colonel Denby naked , and the reply was : "They won't act together. There la whcro I make my point. Two men cannot command the same affair. " Summing up General Lawton said : "Tak ing Into consideration the conditions that wo wore obliged to face , the character ol the country. Its climate , nnd other things being considered , I can say there were no serious or gross mistakes made. I can say there was no lack of care on the part ol any of these In authority whose duty it was to look after the intercuts of the camp. Wo had with us ns flno staff officers aa there are In the world. No better could be found. Theto men worked night and da ; and no human being could do more than they. " llenrliiur nt Cincinnati. CINCINNATI , Nov. ! . The War In vestigating commission resumed Its work to day with General Dodge , General Scxlon and Dr. Conner present. The first witness was Dr. Menage , contract surgcou , serving with the Sixth Infantry. He testified ns tc the absence of hospital tents for the regi ment In Cuba. Ho treated his sick in the regiment In preference to sending them back to the division hospital , because of tin difficulty In transportation. The neareal hospital was perhaps a mile and a halt away , The medical supplies were reasonably suf ficient. The appliances and supplies at tht hospital the witness did not know about , His chief trouble was In getting ar ambulance. This he got after a delay of twc days. He madeno requisition for drugs but once. Dr. McGraw did most of thai work. The regiment left there about August 9. At that time there were about thirty 01 forty men In an acute condition. Perhaps ono-elghth of the command reported regularly for treatment. There had been nc yellow fever up to , this time. The condltlor of the transport was as good as could be given. There was enough le. There was condensed rallk and a limited amount ol malted milk. They purchased with tht hospltil fund beef extract from the steward of the vffscl. There wa some available IE Santiago. The regiment lost no men on the voyage. The vessel was held five days In quarantine at Monrnuk Point In a detention camp. The condition of the camp was good except that there were no beds. Dr. Me- Gruw was In chance of th * men tin came while the wltnesx remained aboard the ves8cl to take care of supplies. The witness explained the movements of the Sixth from the detention camp to the regular camp and told of the march which perhaps five- sixths of the men were able tp make. The regiment wan In camp until October , and the command did not materially Imp'rovo In health In that time. This he attributed largely to Inability to properlv diet the men. Lieutenant Schendel of the Sixth Infantry was the next witness. Ho left with the Sixth for Tampa and at Santiago was made commissary. They hod ample quarters on the trip from Tampa to Santiago. Commis sary supplies wore always sufficient , except such delays an were unavoidable on account of rains. After the fall of Santiago the reg iment was fulry supplied. At Montauk Point the supplies were sufficient , but during the first week they were sometimes delayed until late In the duy by insufficient railway facili ties. Thla was soon remedied. Tho4 men were well taken care of by the medical de partment. After reaching Montauk Point the men rapidly broke down , Not more than twenty-five or thirty escaped Illness of some so ; * The witness was 111 twice. TrnnniiortM Not Sultnlile. Lieutenant Colonel Miner , commanding the Sixth Infantry , testified to the movements of his regiment from Fort Thomas to Santiago and return. Ho regarded the Tampa camp as excellent. There was difficulty In get ting transportation from Tampa to Cuba. The transport Miami , In which his regiment went to Santiago , was not fit for troops. The men wouM have died In their quarters If the voyage had not been mild GO that the port holes wcro left open nnd air thus sup plied. The supplies of the men nnd of the ofllccra were the same. Most of the officers were on foot 'rom loss of hot.sis- . General II. C. Egbert was the next wit ness. Ho Is now brigadier of volunteers and colonel of the Twenty-second United States Infantry. Ho commanded the Sixth In fantry after the retirement of Colonel Cochran - ran until he was wounded July 1. Ho had no fault to find with the camp at Tampa or the supplies , or even with the 'transport Miami except with "the ventilation. He found troops abundantly supplied for the cam paign. The wttnesa received excellent care at the hospital. Recurring to his return on the Seneca , ho said the conditions on that vessel were not good , especially below , where the troops were. He remonstrated against certain conditions and Captain Dougherty remedied them. There was a shortage In water. The boat was sent away hurriedly. Incident on the Scnecn. General Egbert said that while the Senflea was not In good condition for unsporting troops , Its officers did not secrn to be In command along tbe voyage as much as "tbo surgeons. When the Seneca reached Fort Monroe , the surgeon telegraphed to Sur geon General Sternberg , who ordered the vessel to go to New York. The next day , to his surprise , the vessel had not gouc. He asked why and was told the ciptaln refused to go until ordered to do so by the quar termaster department. The witness called on the captain and found thlb to bo true. After remonstrance against holding the wounded men In such a plac < \ 'the witness told the captain ho would telegraph to the secretary of war , telling him of the condi tions and asking for orders. Meantime he sent a note to the quartarmaster at Fort Monroe and as soon as the situation was Un derstood there was an order Riven for the vessel to sail nt once to New York and the captain obeyed It. Fred J. Flueger of Newport , Ky. , waa next examined. He went to Chlckam.xuga August 1 , ) o bring home Albert Doedecker of thb Second Kentucky , who was.In the hospital. Ho found him 'In a very bad condition. He was In a tent with four other piUentt1. ) ; the space between the coU so nairnw that wit ness had to walk sldbwlse In goirig' through. The nurses wcro detailed men. In an ad joining tent he heard groaning , anil looking In , he saw a man with a quantity of maggots gets on his body. He reported this Imme diately to the attendants , who iinlj they did not know It had happened. They curried the man out , washed him of and took him back. The next day ho dlJ Cnse of One Iloeileckcr. The witness detailed Boeapcker's case ; how he took cold from marching through the rain and was taken sick the 'day he reached Chlckamauga. Ho was at first re fused admittance to the hospital , but finally the captain got him In. He lay ihets twelve days on a blanket on the ground , with one blanket over him. Then ho was sent to his quarters for full duty nnd next day at In spection ho stood In line three hours , when he again broke down. Ho was than In the hospital until the witness brought him home. He reached home August 2 , and died Au gust 3. At the afternoon session. Major Griffith testified regarding the camp conditions at f.hlckamaugn and the hoipltnla. He had dif ficulty In gett.Ag enough tents and when he secured the propci nuinbtr h found the la t ones were of poor quality. From private and state sources the regiments were sup plied with hospital tents. As a rule the men detailed as nurses were unflt.t ' Witness asked Dr. Hoff for' female nurses. This relieved the situation , The staff of the division hoipltal was Inadequate when the Increase of sickness ocurred. Sickness among the surgeons reduced the working force. He said there would have been no difficulty In getting hundreds of competent surgeons at Chlckamauga within a week. He said ho knew many applications were re fused. Needed 11 llonjiltnl CorpN. Major Griffith attributed the failure at tha Camp Thomas hospitals to "red tape" and "peace for thirty jears , " which Incapaci tated the department for expansion for emergency. If congress had established a hospital corps the tr-ublo tnltfit have been avoided. Ono great difficulty In getting sup plies of drugs arose from passing requisi tions from the division burgeon to the corps surgeon and Burgeon In .chief. This required n week. He asked the corps commander on June 20 to have the 'typhoid patients ko- lated. The eplduinls could have ttua been avoided , but no attention V.MS yiveu the request. He re arilulIlles and water as causes of the infc'itlon. The .beer drinking and the unwholesome food assisted In de veloping typhoid germs. Tbo mortf.lltv from tjphold fever In this boajiltal was sixty-six out of 1,057 cases , Father Valman , past chaplain , was next examined. He served at Tampa , Camp Thomas , Fort Sheridan and Thomas. The witness had no complaint at Fort Thomas from c-lther friends or patients. At flrat at Fort Thomas there was trouble for lack of good nurses , but that was soon remedied. In certain cases he regarded men better than women for nurses , as thu work Is now di vided so that men do the work proper for men nnd the women attend to such things as women can do better than men , he thought the perfection of nursing had been rvached. IlcKiilnrx Never Coniiilnlncil. The witness devoted his time to looking after the patients. Ho wrrto to the friends of each patient , giving the Information as to his condition. This course was one of great satisfaction to the patients ns well as to their friends. He repeated that the sol diers had spoken In the highest terms of their treatment at the hospital , nclng asked what complaints , If any , he had heard from patients about their treatment at other places , he said that he had heard none whatever from soldiers of the regular army , but that a number of the volunteer soldiers had told him of disagreeable experiences which wcro often answered by a soldier on the next cot by the question"Did you think you were going ts a picnic ? " Ho tal-1 none of tbeso complaints were of a nature us to cause hi in to make any Investigation. TRADE AND THE INDUSTRIES Largo Failures in a Few Branches This Wcel Out of the Ordinary.

READY FOR USE ON SHORT NOTICE i\tpnxlvo ItoimlrH Miulc ( o Ship * nnd Army In Spite of Depletion * In .More Elllvlfitt Tlinu Ever efure. WASHINGTON , Nov. 4. The administra tion Is waiting results from the Peace com- mlEulon with equanimity , In the realization that the government Is perfectly well pre pared for any turn the negotiations may take. The navy especially la In a state of preparedness , should It come to a resumption of hostilities , far In advance of Its condi tion at the outbreak of the war. Ono by ono air the splendid fighting machines of the North Atlantic uquadrou , which had been brought north at the earliest moment , wcro docked , cleaned nnd thoroughly refitted at the New York and Norfolk navv yards. Their ammunition and euppllea were replen ished and they are now , with possibly ono or two exceptions , ready for Instant service In almost any quarter of the globe. Admiral Dcwey has taken considerable precautions In the cases of his own vessels , having dispatched them one by ono to tha big llrltlsh docks nt Hong Kong , whcro they have been placed In as good condition as possible outside of our home ports. Sec retary Long has prudently declined to part with the now numerous ileet of auxiliary vessel acquired by the government just prior to and during the war. These wore all Inspected by a technical board , which found that u number of them were not well adapted to navy uses , but the secretary concluded that these ves sels are still sufllclcutly serviceable for emergency uses , and accordingly kept them In condition to bo commissioned at short notice. As far as the army Is concerned , while the original force of nearly 230,000 men called Into the service by the presi dent has been largely diminished by the mustering out of many regiments , It Is the opinion of expert military officers that the army as a whole Is really a more formidable weapon now than It was at any period dur ing the war. This apparently paradoxical statement Is explained by tbe fact that the troops now In the service have had the discipline of several months' hard training ; the men have steadily Improved In efficiency and their olllcers know how to take care of them ns well as to fight battles. The staff corps has cured many of the evils from which It suffered during the war and Is prepared to move troops with rapidity , with due care for their health and for their adequate rationing during any campaign that might be expected. In fact , all branches of the military and naval service have profited by the experience of the war and are now , as previously stated , In bet ter shape than ever before. SlioolM ii I ni-Keeper.

Further to the governor's request for a list of bondsmen to be published so that the people in other counties might take up the investigation if they cared to do so, this committee, after finding over one-third of the security on the bond to be worthless, concluded that it would be of no use for them to go further into the matter. Captain Jennings expressed surprise that the bond had been allowed to stand so long without investigation, when he found practically every business man in Lincoln knew of its condition. The members of the committee, when they looked over the list of wealthy people in the other counties, as shown by the bond, expressed considerable doubt as to the real worth of the men should suit be brought to recover a large amount. In speaking of this, they said that in their own county, which was one of the oldest and best favored in the state, there was not a single individual who could give a bond for as much as $5,000 and tell the truth about his liability. And they were naturally skeptical when they read of the great wealth of people in other counties, "over and above their liabilities." The discussion leads to the inevitable conclusion that there was a combine in the state house in which Hartley formed a part and that the big men on the Hartley bond were approved on the Meserve bond on an arrangement that the treasury shortage was to be fixed in some way. The deal was spoiled because prominent populists, again from the extreme southeast part of the state, insisted that matters come to a showdown and the result was that the shortage became publicly known and Hartley was arrested. Governor Fill In His Duty. The constitution provides the size of the bond to be given by the state treasurer and presupposes that it shall be worth face value. Should the treasurer fail to give the full amount, he would be unable to hold office. It therefore follows that at any time the bondsmen are found to be worthless, the official could be impeached unless he added names necessary to make the whole amount good. It would seem also that it was the duty of the governor to inquire into this and to call for additional bondsmen whenever he found the total liability below par. Such a course, however, formed no part of the plans of the treasury combine, and within two months of the approval of the second Holcolm saw two of the bondsmen leave the state with no property behind them that could be reached, and saw others go into total bankruptcy within the year without uttering a protest. He saw $780,000 of the liability practically wiped out when Sultjvaa commenced on Hartley's bond on account of the six persons who were on both bonds, and yet he kept silent. Ambition for a third term would not allow him to antagonize the other state officials, even if he had not been a party to the original agreement to keep quiet on all matters affecting the combine and the "reform" officials. No business man can look at the situation and figure it in any other way than that the farmers of interior counties, who signed the bond for small amounts and who have kept themselves free from entanglements on other bonds, would be the only safeguard of the state should there be another treasury shortage. The matter is not one to be discussed entirely as party politics, but should be viewed in a practical way, the same as was done by the three business men from Pawnee county who were sent by their neighbors to learn the real facts. No amount of abuse can change the truth of their finding and the people of other counties will do well to take a hand in the work of investigation. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup stands unrivaled as a cure for sore throat or bronchitis. CAPTURES A WILY SCHEMER Traced the Office of the Law and Got Away, but In Finals- Arraigned. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4. Deputy United States Marshal George D. Henry of St. Paul, Minn., and H. J. Downey, captain of police of Detroit, arrived here today, having in custody William H. Walker, who since May last has been a fugitive from the jurisdiction of the United States court. Walker was arrested in May last for using the mail in a scheme to defraud. His bail was forfeited. A few days later his wife identified a body at the city morgue as that of her husband. Notwithstanding the positive identification by Mrs. Walker, it was subsequently identified as that of another person. Walker was captured in St. Paul on July 2, and Deputy Marshal Henry started with him for Philadelphia. On July 5, near Steubenville, O., the prisoner jumped from the window of the toilet room of the car and made good his escape. Henry, after a long search, finally located him in Windsor, Ont., several weeks ago, but could not place him under arrest, as the crime for which he was wanted was not an extraditable one. Walker, in an unguarded moment, came across the ferry to Detroit and was nipped by the officers in stepping from the ferry boat.

AN ACCOUNTED FOR General Lawton Testifies One of the Yellow Journal Stories, ACTIVE CAMPAIGNING IS NO PICNIC To not Proved on the Line meant It Was Not Pretty- tifully to Do So Fresh Line Short. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. Acting for the War Investigating commission, Colonel Denby has taken the testimony of General Lawton, who was in command of the Second division of the Fifth corps in the Santiago campaign and who has but recently been relieved of the command of the Department of Santiago. His narration began with the embarkation of the troops at Tampa. Speaking of the voyage, he said that transports were furnished as well as could be expected, as they were not troop ships. The medical commissary supplies were sufficient to prevent absolute discomfort. True, there was some confusion, owing to misunderstanding of orders, but the general did not believe that any real hardship had been occasioned thereby. After giving particulars of the landing, General Lawton described his march to Siboney. He referred to the battle of Quasiman and told how he pushed forward toward El Caney and prepared for the fight there. He said that on the morning before the beginning of the battle he had laid his plans before General Schaffer, and he rode with his brigade commanders over the ground, pointing out to each of them the position he was to occupy. Regarding the result of the battle at El Caney, he said: "I had imperative orders to move to my left to the right of General Wheeler's command, but my situation was such that it was impossible for me to leave El Caney until I had captured it." General Lawton said his division had lost 110 men killed and wounded, and that all the wounded had been accounted for. This latter remark was brought out by the suggestion made by Colonel Denby that a statement had been made to the effect that some of the wounded soldiers wandered into the woods and were never seen again. "All the wounded were accounted for and they were all taken to the field hospitals," there were no ambulances, but some litters, how many, he did not know. "Knowing there was to be a fight, how does it happen that you did not have enough litters, enough surgeons and the proper hospital corps?" Colonel Denby asked. "Well, I cannot say there were not enough," General Lawton replied. "How do you account for the fact that the medical men did not provide themselves with everything necessary for taking care of the wounded?" "I think they did provide themselves with everything they thought necessary, considering the material they had to choose from. There was no time to do more or to get more surgeons than we had. They were distributed to their various commands." The general called that while it was difficult to get supplies to the men while they lay in the trenches from the 2nd to the 17th of July, he thought the quantity was sufficient. There had been no sickness worth mentioning until after the campaign. There had been no tents except the shelter tents which some had until just previous to the embarkation for the United States. Asked where he fixed the responsibility for not having the tents there, General Lawton replied: "I don't fix it at all, because I don't think there was any responsibility about it. The men were there without tents because of the fact that it was impossible to unload them from the ships for lack of time and facilities. It is a difficult matter to unload a ship in a rough sea. There was very little complaint on account of the tents. Complaints did not come to me and I was with my men constantly. That they should have to lie out as they did was one of the contingencies absolutely necessary in the conduct of the war." It was true, as reported, he said, that men had to wear their shirts for possibly thirty days without a change, but this was because they had thrown away their extra clothing. Climate was responsible for the sickness that followed the campaign, though it was possible that with more appropriate food, better cooking and shelter some of the sickness might have been prevented. He had, he said, remained in Santiago until about two weeks since, and, while the health conditions were now improving, there had been much suffering among the soldiers left there. "It is my opinion," he said, "that anyone going from this climate to Cuba will have to suffer that acclimatizing there. I doubt 1 percent have escaped absolutely." Replying to a question whether the navy should not have control of the transports, he said: "No, indeed." "You think that the army ought to have control of them?" "Absolutely," was the laconic reply. "While they are acting together?" Colonel Denby asked, and the reply was: "They won't act together. There is where I make my point. Two men cannot command the same affair." Summing up General Lawton said: "Taking into consideration the conditions that we were obliged to face, the character of the country, its climate, and other things being considered, I can say there were no serious or gross mistakes made. I can say there was no lack of care on the part of any of these in authority whose duty it was to look after the intercourses of the camp. We had with us as fine staff officers as there are in the world. No better could be found. The men worked night and day; and no human being could do more than they." He further stated that Cincinnati, Nov. 1. The War Investigating commission resumed its work today with General Dodge, General Seaton, and Dr. Conner present. The first witness was Dr. Menage, contract surgeon, serving with the Sixth Infantry. He testified as to the absence of hospital tents for the regiment in Cuba. He treated his sick in the regiment in preference to sending them back to the division hospital, because of the difficulty in transportation. The nearest hospital was perhaps a mile and a half away. The medical supplies were reasonably sufficient. The appliances and supplies at the hospital the witness did not know about, his chief trouble was in getting an ambulance. This he got after a delay of two days. He made no requisition for drugs but once. Dr. McGraw did most of that work. The regiment left there about August 9. At that time there were about thirty or forty men in an acute condition. Perhaps one-eighth of the command reported regularly for treatment. There had been no yellow fever up to this time. The condition of the transport was as good as could be given. There was enough to eat. There was condensed milk and a limited amount of malted milk. They purchased with the hospital fund beef extract from the steward of the vessel. There was some available in Santiago. The regiment lost no men on the voyage. The vessel was held five days in quarantine at Montauk Point in a detention camp. The condition of the camp was good except that there were no beds. Dr. McGraw was in charge of the men who came while the witness remained aboard the vessel to take care of supplies. The witness explained the movements of the Sixth from the detention camp to the regular camp and told of the march which perhaps five-sixths of the men were able to make. The regiment was in camp until October, and the command did not materially improve in health in that time. This he attributed largely to inability to properly diet the men. Lieutenant Schendel of the Sixth Infantry was the next witness. He left with the Sixth for Tampa and at Santiago was made commissary. They had ample quarters on the trip from Tampa to Santiago. Commissary supplies were always sufficient, except for such delays as were unavoidable on account of rains. After the fall of Santiago the regiment was fully supplied. At Montauk Point the supplies were sufficient, but during the first week they were sometimes delayed until late in the day by insufficient railway facilities. This was soon remedied. The men were well taken care of by the medical department. After reaching Montauk Point the men rapidly broke down. Not more than twenty-five or thirty escaped illness of some sort. The witness was ill twice. Transportation Not Sufficient. Lieutenant Colonel Miner, commanding the Sixth Infantry, testified to the movements of his regiment from Fort Thomas to Santiago and return. He regarded the Tampa camp as excellent. There was difficulty in getting transportation from Tampa to Cuba. The transport Miami, in which his regiment went to Santiago, was not fit for troops. The men would have died in their quarters if the voyage had not been mild so that the port holes were left open and air thus supplied. The supplies of the men and of the officers were the same. Most of the officers were on foot from loss of horses. General H. C. Egbert was the next witness. He is now brigadier of volunteers and colonel of the Twenty-second United States Infantry. He commanded the Sixth Infantry after the retirement of Colonel Cochran and until he was wounded July 1. He had no fault to find with the camp at Tampa or the supplies, or even with the transport Miami except with "the ventilation. He found troops abundantly supplied for the campaign. The witness received excellent care at the hospital. Recalling his return on the Seneca, he said the conditions on that vessel were not good, especially below, where the troops were. He remonstrated against certain conditions and Captain Dougherty remedied them. There was a shortage in water. The boat was sent away hurriedly. Incident on the Seneca. General Egbert said that while the Seneca was not in good condition for unsporting troops, its officers did not seem to be in command along the voyage as much as the surgeons. When the Seneca reached Fort Monroe, the surgeon telegraphed to Surgeon General Sternberg, who ordered the vessel to go to New York. The next day, to his surprise, the vessel had not gone. He asked why and was told the captain refused to go until ordered to do so by the quartermaster department. The witness called on the captain and found this to be true. After remonstrance against holding the wounded men in such a place, the witness told the captain he would telegraph to the secretary of war, telling him of the conditions and asking for orders. Meantime, he sent a note to the quartermaster at Fort Monroe, and as soon as the situation was understood, there was an order given for the vessel to sail at once to New York, and the captain obeyed it. Fred J. Flueger of Newport, Ky., was next examined. He went to Chickamauga August 1 to bring home Albert Doedecker of the Second Kentucky, who was in the hospital. He found him in a very bad condition. He was in a tent with four other patients; the space between the cots was so narrow that witness had to walk sideways in going through. The nurses were detailed men. In an adjoining tent, he heard groaning, and looking in, he saw a man with a quantity of maggots on his body. He reported this immediately to the attendants, who said they did not know it had happened. They carried the man out, washed him off, and took him back. The next day, he did not see the case of one of his men, Hoedecker. Case of One Hoedecker. The witness detailed Hoedecker's case; how he took cold from marching through the rain and was taken sick the day he reached Chickamauga. He was at first refused admittance to the hospital, but finally, the captain got him in. He lay there twelve days on a blanket on the ground, with one blanket over him. Then he was sent to his quarters for full duty and the next day at inspection he stood in line three hours, when he again broke down. He was then in the hospital until the witness brought him home. He reached home August 2, and died August 3. At the afternoon session, Major Griffith testified regarding the camp conditions at Chickamauga and the hospitals. He had difficulty in getting enough tents and when he secured the proper number, he found the latter were of poor quality. From private and state sources, the regiments were supplied with hospital tents. As a rule, the men detailed as nurses were unfit for the job. Witness asked Dr. Hoff for female nurses. This relieved the situation. The staff of the division hospital was inadequate when the increase of sickness occurred. Sickness among the surgeons reduced the working force. He said there would have been no difficulty in getting hundreds of competent surgeons at Chickamauga within a week. He said he knew many applications were refused. Needed a Hospital Corps. Major Griffith attributed the failure at the Camp Thomas hospitals to "red tape" and "peace for thirty years," which incapacitated the department for expansion for emergencies. If Congress had established a hospital corps, the troublesome staff issues would have been avoided. One great difficulty in getting supplies of drugs arose from passing requisitions from the division surgeon to the corps surgeon and Surgeon in Chief. This required a week. He asked the corps commander on June 20 to have the typhoid patients consolidated. The epidemics could have been avoided, but no attention was given to the request. He attributed the mortality from typhoid fever in this hospital to sixty-six out of 1,057 cases. Father Valman, past chaplain, was next examined. He served at Tampa, Camp Thomas, Fort Sheridan, and Thomas. The witness had no complaint at Fort Thomas from either friends or patients. At first at Fort Thomas, there was trouble for lack of good nurses, but that was soon remedied. In certain cases, he regarded men better than women for nurses, as the work is now divided so that men do the work proper for men and the women attend to such things as women can do better than men, he thought the perfection of nursing had been reached. Relieving Never Consisted. The witness devoted his time to looking after the patients. He went to the friends of each patient, giving them the information as to his condition. This course was one of great satisfaction to the patients as well as to their friends. He repeated that the soldiers had spoken in the highest terms of their treatment at the hospital, being asked what complaints, if any, he had heard from patients about their treatment at other places, he said that he had heard none whatever from soldiers of the regular army, but that a number of the volunteer soldiers had told him of disagreeable experiences which were often answered by a soldier on the next cot by the question "Did you think you were going to a picnic?" He stated none of those complaints were of a nature as to cause him to make any investigation. TRADE AND THE INDUSTRIES Large Failures in a Few Branches This Week Out of the Ordinary. NOT DUE TO PRESENT BUSINESS CONDITION: Volume of clearing Through Clearing Chamber In S.C. 1st Cent Through 1873 Clearing Chamber In S.C. 1st Cent London Yenr Manufacturing-Confident. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. H. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say tomorrow: Not even the pending election disturbs business or industries on the financial side this week. Although many are undoubtedly waiting the votes before borrowing, the volume of business through clearing house is 8.5 percent larger than last year and 12 percent, larger than in 1872. While political doubts may count for much, they can only have prevented a growth of business which might have been much more than has been realized. Failure returns for October are curiously puzzling, because while the small failures compare remarkably well with those of previous years, and also the failures of $100,000 or more in about two-thirds of the business classes, there were large failures in a few branches not generally due to present business conditions, which made the aggregate $14,000,000, but neither the Sawyer woollen failures nor others, excepting, perhaps, some in machinery and boots and show and leather, indicate difficulties beyond those of the particular concerns failing. Neither the volume nor the value of manufactured products diminishes. While losses in pig iron are sold against the combination at Pittsburg 10 cents lower, compared with other iron there and elsewhere, the general demand crowds closely on the heels of production. Haullets and steel bars, owing to projects regarding combinations, are a shade lower and prices of steel rails have been withdrawn because reports promise a single corporation to handle all the iron ore reproduction, 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 tons yearly. Plates are supported by heavy rail lay demands at Chicago and at Philadelphia for shipyards, the bar mills are crowded at all western works with steel preferred to iron in spite of the new structural orders and the works at Chicago are behind in deliveries, while sheets there are strong. London has hoisted the speculative price of copper, but they closed at $18.15 and of copper, but they closed at $18.15 and 12.5 cents here, with lead weaker at $3.60 and tin plates practically unchanged. Wool holders at Boston have discovered the falsity of reports which they have long believed about the available stock in this country and have begun selling largely at concessions said to be "several cents per pound." The week's sales at the three clip markets were 10,797,100 pounds, against 20,702 pounds last year and 18,561,600 pounds in 1896, but only 5,217,000 pounds in 1892. The cheering fact is that the large manufacturers are now buying with confidence; that with some reduction in the cost of material the business will pay. Expectations for goods have been somewhat better without any decline in prices during the last week, nor is there any disposition to advance prices. The cotton mills are helped a little by the combination to restrict production about Fall River. Cotton is again at the lowest price ever known, 31.5 cents, for spot, while Mr. Net estimates a crop of 11,500,000 bales, besides large stocks brought over here and abroad. Wheat exports continue very large, amounting to 4,681,636 bushels from Atlantic ports, flour included, against 3,287,538 bushels last year and 1,029,838 from Pacific ports, against 1,592,252 last year, but the heavy exports have been much more than matched by western receipts of 9,490,092 bushels, against 7,600,193 last year, and prices have not changed materially. Corn goes abroad largely, 3,011,083 bushels during the week, against 1,812,944 bushels last year, and prices are well held. Exports for raw sugar have been 494 in the United States, against 276 last year, and twenty-eight countries, against thirty last year. PRE-ELECTION QUIET IN VARIETY OF AREAS New York, Nov. 4. Broadway's tomorrow will say: Further quieting down of new business in iron and steel, the relapse into dullness though at steady prices, of wheat, consequent upon the withdrawal of the exciting foreign demand, some slight increase of quiet in general trade, chiefly at the south as a result of the approach of the elections, are all features calling for special mention this week. Among the more active, favorable features are the price steadiness displayed by most staple articles and the enlarged distribution of staple goods at many western and southern markets as a result of improved weather and removal of quarantines. Confirmatory of the very favorable reports as to general trade during October are the returns of bank clearings for that month, and scattered reports as to the increased business done at many centers in that month as compared with one year ago. Export statistics of grain, too, are beginning to show that an ample basis for stories of heavy foreign buying really existed, exports this week being the heaviest on record. New business in iron and steel has been lighter than for weeks past and some shading of quotations, particularly steel, is reported. Export trade, however, is large and increasing and mills are still so well supplied with orders as to regard this pre-election quiet with something approaching equanimity. Important negotiations touching future prices of steel rails are now in progress, quotations are entirely withdrawn, and some reports are that an important combination, or at least, contract of prices and output, has been practically agreed upon. Wheat has been duller but steady on uncertainty as to possible foreign political complications, offsetting a heavy gain in movement from producers. The current demand and output of flour has continued to equal and even exceed all previous records. An encouraging feature is the continued active demand for domestic wools, large at Boston, and much of it at price concessions, with rather more reported doing in cheap makes of worsteds. Cotton has made another new low record on heavy crop movements, touching 31 cents for November delivery at New York, but improved demand for export with the working of the new print cloth restriction have tended to firmness for the manufactured product. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 6,773,643 bushels, against 5,560,991 bushels last week. 2,590,485 bushels in the corresponding week of 1897, 3,472,975 bushels in 1896, 2,566,337 bushels in 1895, and 2,629,323 bushels in 1891. Since July 1 this year, the exports of wheat aggregate 73,645,623 bushels, against 83,874,092 bushels last year. Corn exports for the week aggregate 3,566,640 bushels, against 2,421,376 bushels last week, 2,199,550 bushels in this week last year, 2,247,643 bushels in 1896, and 2,731,411 bushels in 1894. Since July 1 this year, corn exports aggregate 6,345,450 bushels, against 5,809,104 bushels during the corresponding period last year. Business failures in the United States this week number 183, against 219 last week, 212 in this week last year, and 296 in 1896, 245 in 1895, and 241 in 1894. Business failures in the Dominion of Canada for the week number 31, against 23 last week, 31 in this week last year, 60 in 1896, 39 in 1895, and 40 in 1891.

Fears No Trouble at the Polls. RALEIGH, N.C. Nov. 4. The outlook at noon today is that the election Tuesday will be a quiet affair and that no serious disturbance will take place at the polls. The acquittal of Captain Kitchener and others charged with Intimidating a registrar is cited by democrats as evidence that reports of Intimidation were exaggerated. PREPARE FOR ANY OUTCOME Army and Navy Are on a Formidable Working Basis. READY FOR USE ON SHORT NOTICE Excellent Home and Ship and Army In Spite of Depletion In More Eligible Than Ever Before. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. The administration is waiting results from the Peace commission with equanimity, in the realization that the government is perfectly well prepared for any turn the negotiations may take. The navy especially is in a state of preparedness, should it come to a resumption of hostilities, far in advance of its condition at the outbreak of the war. One by one the splendid fighting machines of the North Atlantic squadron, which had been brought north at the earliest moment, were docked, cleaned, and thoroughly refitted at the New York and Norfolk navy yards. Their ammunition and supplies were replenished and they are now, with possibly one or two exceptions, ready for immediate service in almost any quarter of the globe. Admiral Dewey has taken considerable precautions in the cases of his own vessels, having dispatched them one by one to the big British docks at Hong Kong, where they have been placed in as good condition as possible outside of our home ports. Secretary Long has prudently declined to part with the now numerous fleet of auxiliary vessels acquired by the government just prior to and during the war. These were all inspected by a technical board, which found that a number of them were not well adapted to navy uses, but the secretary concluded that these vessels are still sufficiently serviceable for emergency uses, and accordingly kept them in condition to be commissioned at short notice. As far as the army is concerned, while the original force of nearly 230,000 men called into the service by the president has been largely diminished by the mustering out of many regiments, it is the opinion of expert military officers that the army as a whole is really a more formidable weapon now than it was at any period during the war. This apparently paradoxical statement is explained by the fact that the troops now in the service have had the discipline of several months' hard training; the men have steadily improved in efficiency and their officers know how to take care of them as well as to fight battles. The staff corps has cured many of the evils from which it suffered during the war and is prepared to move troops with rapidity, with due care for their health and for their adequate rationing during any campaign that might be expected. In fact, all branches of the military and naval service have profited by the experience of the war and are now, as previously stated, in better shape than ever before. School is a Keeper. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 4. (Special Telegram.) Fred Karnich, barkeeper of the Kemmerer hotel at Kemmerer, was shot and killed yesterday morning by a colored roustabout employed at the hotel. The men quarreled and came to blows. They were separated and the colored man secured a revolver and shot Karnich, killing him instantly. The murderer is in jail. Dissolution of Traffic Association. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. The board of control of the Joint Traffic association today decided to dissolve the organization.

At repub lican headquarters here there Is an air of confidence that Is mont gratifying , and If Inlf Is trurj that has been gathered by tbo lepubllran * > tate central committee llio elec tion of the entire state tlrket and four of llii1 Rlx congressmen IK assured. This change In the vote on regents n } ear ago would also Klve the legislature to the rcpubllcana by a safe majority and In-mre the election of a republican t'nltcd Statcn senator to succeed William V. Allen. The lepiibltran campaign managers have received reports fiom all sections of the etatc and are thoroughly posted on the situa tion. They Know there ID no apathy among the rank and file of the party , and every where republicans are fully around to the Importance of the issues of this citnpalgn and will go to tbo polio and vote on election day. day.As As the Washington correspondent of The Hce tlio writer has been In sixty of the ninety counties of the state , traveling with Senator Thurstoti , whoso speeches have been enthusiastically received by audiences com pletely Oiling the houses where lie has spoken. In conversation with fusion leaders In the counties of the Third dlhtrlct , where Senator Thumon campaigned early this week , they told The Ree correspondent that It w.n Impossible to arouse nny great amount of enthusiasm among the populists. That corn busking and preparing ground for the spring planting were much rnors fiultful sources of discussion than any po litical U < nics ami consequently they ( the fuslonlsts ) could do no more than hope to hold" their own In the election next Tiles * day. But , while the leaders spoke In this hopeful way. farmers whom The Heo corre. spondent talked to wcro not to outspoken and eyme of them frankly confessed that they know of populists who would vote for Hayward and the candidate of the repub licans for congress , In that way placing the ntamp of approval on the course of the ad ministration in the conduct of the war. JmlKC T In the Third congressional district , whcro Judge Xorrls and Judge Robinson arc run ning on rival tickets , decided changes are nntlclpntcd , oven the fuslonlsts conceding that Maxwell's majority over Hammond two jcare ago will be greatly cut down. Fusion Ipadcrs may sound the "hewgag , " but the treatment accorded Judge Maxwell In the congressional convention lias made the friends of the I'rcmont Jurist hopping mad nnd that they will vote their deep resent ment on election day Is giving the populist Bpellblndws many anxious moments. Just Iiow fur the friends of Maxwell will go Is a cllfllcult problem , but the chairman of Ilobln- Kon'H congiehslqnal committee , Dr. Mackay of Norfolk , raid"to a friend on Tuesday tha < ho fusion candl-lute for congress would not have over li.&OO majority. This would seem 1o Indicate that the defection In the ranks of the fuslonlsts was considered a most seri ous problem.

This year , when the silver question has been relegated to the background , for the fusionists have talked It but little , and the battle has been fought on patriotic lines , a icallgnment Is confidently predicted.

"Tho greatest element of uncertainty ID the fact that our people nro very busy and less Interest than usual IB manifested In the i campaign. I have not failed to secure largo | audiences , and republican meetings gener ally have been well attended. The greatest apathy seems to prevail among the fusion forces. They are verv quiet and do not seem to care fur the discussion of political questions.

"In the Third and Sixth districts the fuslonlsts were elected two years ago by majorities of upwards of 4,500 each There will bo great changes In both these districts which may entirely wipe out the apparent fusion majorities , and which will at least greatly reduce them. "The legislature will 'be ' close. There will not be more than ten majority cither way , nnd I am very hopeful that It will be re publican. "Tho republicans aio more united this year than I have ever known them to be , and this Is equally true as to both state and legislative tickets. The lepubllcnns genet- ally have nomiuated strong , popular men for the legislature , and I think have a decided advantage over the opposition In this re spect , "Taking the situation as a whole , from the most conrcrvatlve standpoint I predict the certain election of thiee if publican con gressmen , of at least a part of the statn ticket , Including governor , and of a legisla ture very close.

H appears that after the Midland bank failure depositors secured evi dence tending to show that there vvas crlm- j Inallty bv the officers of the bank accountable able/ for Its wreck. One of the depoltor went to Attorney Oencral Smith and related the facts to him. The attorney general advised tint lu his opinion there would be no dlfllculty in proceeding against the bank officers crim inally and agreed to take up the case. He was paid the fee nsKcd and retained for that purpose , but demanded further time to look up authorities. The Omaha man s.xld ho had seen the receipt , dated May 1 , 1S07 , nnd written on the letter head ot the attorney general's office , over the signature of C.

" When the depositors went to Mr. Smyth shortly after this he told them he had changed his mind and that he did not think .ho bank officers could bo prosecuted crlm- nally and that he would have nothing to lo with the case. Ho carefully forgot , how ever , to return any of the money he had accepted for his services , although ho had not turned a hand In the matter. Whether ils change ot mind was due to the same thing that prompted his leniency to the jankers in the Bartley case Is an open question. Ilnrkctt LINCOLN , Nov. 4. ( Special Telegram. ) C.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1898. REPUBLICANS GAIN GREATLY Closing Weeks of the Campaign See a Change in Their Favor, STATE IS TO BE REDEEMED FROM POPULISM Extrapolate at the Situation Might After Visit to Two-Thirds of the Most Contested Areas In All of LINCOLN, Nov. 4 (Special) - The last week of the republican campaign in Nebraska shows a strengthening of weak spots In some of the counties of the state, and an overall favorable disposition to make this last week tell all over the commonwealth. At republican headquarters here there is an air of confidence that is most gratifying, and if true that has been gathered by the republican state central committee the election of the entire state ticket and four of the six congressmen is assured. This change in the vote on regents last year would also give the legislature to the republicans by a safe majority and in turn the election of a republican United States senator to succeed William V. Allen. The republican campaign managers have received reports from all sections of the state and are thoroughly posted on the situation. They know there is no apathy among the rank and file of the party, and everywhere republicans are fully aware of the importance of the issues of this campaign and will go to the polls and vote on election day. As the Washington correspondent of The Bee, the writer has been in sixty of the ninety counties of the state, traveling with Senator Thurston, whose speeches have been enthusiastically received by audiences filling the houses where he has spoken. In conversation with fusion leaders in the counties of the Third district, where Senator Thurston campaigned early this week, they told The Bee correspondent that it was impossible to arouse any great amount of enthusiasm among the populists. That corn busting and preparing ground for the spring planting were much more fruitful sources of discussion than any political themes and consequently they (the fusionists) could do no more than hope to hold their own in the election next Tuesday. But, while the leaders spoke in this hopeful way, farmers whom The Bee correspondent talked to were not so outspoken and many of them frankly confessed that they knew of populists who would vote for Hayward and the candidate of the republicans for congress, in that way placing the stamp of approval on the course of the administration in the conduct of the war. In the Third congressional district, where Judge Norris and Judge Robinson are running on rival tickets, decided changes are anticipated, even the fusionists conceding that Maxwell's majority over Hammond two years ago will be greatly cut down. Fusion leaders may sound the "soggy note," but the treatment accorded Judge Maxwell in the congressional convention has made the friends of the Fremont Jurist hopping mad and that they will vote their deep resentment on election day is giving the populist spellbinders many anxious moments. Just how far the friends of Maxwell will go is a difficult problem, but the chairman of Hobbling's congressional committee, Dr. Mackay of Norfolk, said to a friend on Tuesday that the fusion candidate for congress would not have over 1,000 majority. This would seem to indicate that the defection in the ranks of the fusionists was considered a most serious problem. The Third congressional district, composed of the counties of Antelope, Boone, Burr, Cedar, Colfax, Cuming, Dakota, Dixon, Dodge, Knox, Madison, Merrick, Nance, Pierce, Platte, Stanton, Thurston, and Wayne, cast in 1896, 42,805 votes, giving Maxwell, fusionist, a majority over all of 4,079 and over his republican competitor, 4,854. This year, when the silver question has been relegated to the background, for the fusionists have talked it but little, and the battle has been fought on patriotic lines, a defeat is confidently predicted. The counties which may give Robinson majorities are: Antelope, Boone, Cuming, Cedar, Dakota, Knox, Madison, Pierce, Platte, and Stanton. The Morris majorities will come from Burt, Colfax, Dixon, Dodge, Merrick, Nance, Thurston, and Wayne, and are enthusiastically so the republicans in this district that even the conservative mind cannot help but be affected by the claims of those entrusted with Judge Norris' campaign. While the congressional campaign is still in doubt, in view of the fusion vote of two years ago the republican contest for members of the legislature is making so many inroads into the fusion forces that it is safe to predict the election of Lewis Smithberger, republican, in the Wayne and Stanton representative district. John H. H.ija of Norfolk, in the senatorial district, composed of the counties of Stanton, Pierce, Wayne, and Madison, will be elected again. In the Seventh senatorial district, composed of Cuming and Burt counties, Daniel Gilford of West Point is looked upon as a sure winner and will beat the present fusion senator, George Miller. In the Fourteenth legislative district, Dodge county, two republicans will be elected, A. J. Huston and D. M. T. Sellers, while in the Tenth senatorial district, composed of the counties of Dodge and Washington, W. D. Holbrook, republican, has been picked as a winner. The republicans are certain to make gains in both branches of the legislature, and from a close canvass of the vote on members of the legislature, made by the state central committee, it is confidently believed that there will not be ten majority either way on joint ballot. Senator Thurston, after a campaign extending over the entire state, told to The Incorrespondent today, in outlining his estimate of the vote on next Tuesday: "From an extended campaign and a careful canvass of the political situation in Nebraska, I am convinced that the outlook is decidedly favorable for the success of the Republican ticket. Anything like a full poll of the Republican vote will mean Republican victory. "The greatest element of uncertainty is the fact that our people are very busy and less interest than usual is manifested in the campaign. I have not failed to secure large audiences, and Republican meetings generally have been well attended. The greatest apathy seems to prevail among the fusion forces. They are very quiet and do not seem to care for the discussion of political questions. I believe there is a strong feeling with many of them that the splendid administration of President McKinley should be supported at the polls, and I look for decided changes growing out of patriotic impulses. "I am confident that Judge Haywood will be elected and the entire state ticket has an excellent chance. "Contrary to the usual outlook, E.J. Burroughs will be elected Congressman for the First district by a good majority and Congressman Mercer in the Second district will be re-elected by an increased vote. "In the Fourth and Fifth districts there is a good prospect for Republican candidates. I think their chances are more than even. "In the Third and Sixth districts the fusionists were elected two years ago by majorities of upwards of 4,500 each. There will be great changes in both these districts which may entirely wipe out the apparent fusion majorities, and which will at least greatly reduce them. "The legislature will be close. There will not be more than ten majority either way, and I am very hopeful that it will be Republican. "The Republicans are more united this year than I have ever known them to be, and this is equally true as to both state and legislative tickets. The Republicans generally have nominated strong, popular men for the legislature, and I think have a decided advantage over the opposition in this respect. "Taking the situation as a whole, from the most conservative standpoint, I predict the certain election of three Republican congressmen, of at least a part of the state ticket, including governor, and of a legislature very close. K.C.S." CAMPAIGN SHOWS HOT AM PAST. Strength of United Partie Slut II 1D) Their Archiving. CHANDLER, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special.) A good crowd assembled last night to hear Hon. George A. Murphy, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, who discussed very ably the issues of the campaign. He was accompanied by Mr. Howard, who sang the audience into good-humored enthusiasm. BRADSHAW, Neb., Nov. 5. (Special) After more than a week of extravagant advertising, a fair-sized crowd greeted Congressman Stark in the Ancient Order of United Workmen hall last night. Mr. Stark occupied nearly three hours in an attempt to spread fusionist doctrine. His talk was rambling and his arguments disjointed. He made a labored effort to hold up the McCleary bill as a great scarecrow. TILDEN, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special.) Hon. John H. Hayes and G.W. Cummings, Republican candidates respectively for the state senate and house of representatives, were billed to speak here last night, but owing to the death of the only daughter of Mr. Hayes, he was unable to be present. Cummings, however, was on hand, and gave a most excellent talk, which commanded marked attention from a good-sized audience. Up to date, the populists have failed to have a speaker here, and the outlook for the Republican candidates of Madison county and the eleventh senatorial district is particularly favorable. ANSWORTH, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special.) Skies are very bright here from a Republican standpoint. There is every prospect of Republican success in Brown county from the top to the bottom of the ticket. WEEPING WATER, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special.) Hon. D.J. Burroughs, assisted by the famous Magnolia quartet, entertained a crowded house last night. The citizens were well pleased with the appearance and speech of their next congressman and Cass county expects to be proud of her Republican majority for Burroughs on November 6. RANDOLPH, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special.) There has been less stir in politics here this fall than has ever been known. Usually, the populists are on the street telling how to run the government, but this fall there has not been a street argument and when a farmer comes to town he makes his purchases and departs to harvest his abundant crop. Last week, John S. Robinson, the fusion candidate for congress, spoke here to a very small crowd, not over forty persons, and mostly Republicans while two years ago the opera house was crowded to its utmost capacity to hear the same speaker. The vote this fall will probably be the lightest that has been cast and this part of the state will have a larger Republican majority than ever. Judge Norris, the Republican candidate for congress, is very popular among the people and will get a very strong vote. ELKORN, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special.) The fusion rally here last night drew but a small attendance, although it had been extensively advertised. Editor Vincent of the Nonconformist addressed the meeting and scored the Republicans for extravagance in conducting the affairs of the state. There were about 100 present, quite a number of whom were Republicans. TEKAMAH, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special.) Hon. John M. Thurston spoke at the opera house in this city last night to an immense crowd, many being turned away. This meeting was one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in the county. INLAND, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special Telegram) Hon. Charles Atkinson addressed an enthusiastic meeting of voters this evening. The crowd was quite large, despite the threatening weather, which kept many away. He touched upon all leading questions of the campaign and explained in a very convincing manner why every patriotic citizen should stand up for the McKinley administration and vote the straight Republican ticket. Marriage in History. LYONS, Neb., Nov. 5. (Special.) After three years of courtship under difficulties, Avery Wolfe and Miss Edith Evans, a daughter of Milt Evans, a farmer, met by appointment last evening and drove hastily to town for the purpose of taking the train for Tekamah. The train was just pulling out as they arrived at the depot, but a team was secured at one of the livery barns and the couple proceeded to Tekamah at a lively rate. They arrived there ahead of all opposition and were married. Morphine Overdose. ELGIN, Neb., Nov. 5. (Special Telegram.) Walter V. Ball of Bloomington, Wis., came in on the train late last night and took a room at the Depot hotel. This morning, about 8 o'clock, his room was broken into and he was found to be dying from an overdose of morphine. Medical aid was summoned, but he died a few minutes later. ROW OVER CHRISTMAS BOXES State Officials Attempt to Supplant the Efforts of the G.A.R. BARRY PROPOSES TO FORWARD THEM Military in For Off Military Handbook (on the Reconciled at Any Rate Grand Army Shirt Movement. LINCOLN, Nov. 4 (Special Telegram.) There is an apparent conflict of authority between the state administration and the G.A.R. over the question of which shall send the Christmas boxes to the Nebraska soldiers. So far as can be learned, the movement was started by General Gage and other Grand Army men and a few days later was taken up by the state officials. Gage obtained a promise from the government that the boxes would be shipped from San Francisco by the War department. General Barry soon after received a similar assurance. Gage then made arrangements whereby the boxes were to be shipped free from Lincoln, and directed that all boxen should be sent to him here for shipment." A few days later, Barry issued a notice that the state would stand the expense of shipping the development of the boxes from here to San Francisco, "the government having refused to do so." He has issued an order that all exes should be shipped to him here. It's a most peculiar situation, but it seems that in any event, the boxes are to get the exes. No word from the government has been shown that can be construed into a refusal to ship the boxes to the coast and no state fund can be pointed out that can be used for the purpose. To an outsider, it looks like there was some jealousy and complications mixed up with the Christmas box business. FACTS IN THE YULETIDE STORY. I think opposition has been From none of the multitude. NORTH LOUIS, Neb., Nov. 1. (Special.) A new element has been injected into the political situation in this county that promises to warm up matters considerably before the close of the campaign. The populists nominated for county attorney Charles A. Munn of Ord, who was endorsed by the Democrats. The candidate of the Republican party withdrew from the contest after accepting the nomination, leaving the Republicans without a candidate. Mr. Munn has held the office of county attorney for two terms, while the county board was under populist control. At the last election, the populists and Democrats elected A. Norman county attorney and since the Republican candidate withdrew, he has placed himself in the race by petitioning Mr. Norman had the opportunity of looking up the records of the county attorney's and sheriff's offices during the terms of his populist predecessor, and claims to be able to show from the records where there has been stolen from the people of this county nearly $7,000 during the four years they had complete control. He asserts that the jobs were rotten through the sheriff's office in the shape of mileage fees and expenses of taking insane people to Norfolk and Lincoln. For instance, he claims to be able to show from the records that the populist sheriff charged for 400 miles from Ord to Norfolk and return, while the actual distance is only 120 miles and the rate per mile has also been stuffed and runs all the way from 5 to 10 cents. Mr. Norman adds that all these stuffed bills seem to have been endorsed by Munn while county attorney and followed by a populist board. If these are facts, it will show up the methods of the reform party to perfection. Munn is also one of the attorneys concerned in the celebrated bond deal whereby the county was the loser of several thousand dollars in an endeavor to accomplish the repudiation of $32,000 refunding bonds. The case was decided in favor of the bond holders and the costs were thrown on the county. A PARODY OF DAYLIGHT ROBBRIES. Princeton Schlitz More Suffer From Light by Sneak Thieves. LINCOLN, Nov. (Special.) The university football team left for Lawrence, Kan., this afternoon, where they will play the Kansas university boys tomorrow. On Monday they will do battle with the Kansas City Medics. The Nebraska boys are not in good condition physically, but have no lack of confidence in their power to beat Kansas in the game. Two bold daylight robberies were committed in the downtown district yesterday. A private house was entered through the rear window and a pocketbook containing $10 was taken away. The other case was a store near by, where the thieves secured $50 worth of harness, whips, robes, and other small articles. The offender has not been apprehended. George Earl, alias Fred Queen, was up in police court for stealing several bunches of handkerchiefs from Fitzgerald's dry goods store and was found guilty of not only the theft, but also of resisting an officer. He was fined $100 and costs. Frank Salmon, a patient out at the hospital for the insane, escaped Wednesday evening while out around the grounds with his mother, who had come down from Omaha to see him. He is regarded as harmless, and there is no fear that he will do injury to anyone but himself. The Hayden Art Club gave its first public program of the year at the university this evening. A. G. Greenlee gave an interesting talk on "Art in the Public Schools." This was in line with the work done by the club last year for the schools of the city. Miss Cora Parker and T. H. Tibbals took part in the discussion which followed Mr. Greenlee's talk. IMPROBABLE GUTS FOR THE HORSE. With Concreted Steel Bones. BEATRICE, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special Telegram.) Z. K. Minnick, postmaster at Milford, Frontier County, was arrested and brought here today by Deputy United States Marshal Kelra on a charge of embezzlement of funds of the government to the amount of $419. On being arraigned before United States Commissioner J. E. Cobbey, he waived examination and was bound over to the federal court. As he was unable to secure bondsmen, he was taken to Omaha. Minnick was appointed by President McKinley soon after the latter had taken his seat. He was for several sessions employed as enrolling clerk in the legislature. Drink and a too liberal spirit is said to have been the cause of his downfall. He is about 40 years old and has a wife and two children. An effort was made to get him out of the trouble, the citizens offering to put up all but about $50 of the sum lost, but the bondsmen refused to let him go, apparently desiring to see him punished. The defendant had lived at Milford about five years. A. E. Wanco, the former postmaster, has been temporarily placed in charge of the office and an effort is being made to have him reappointed. The Military Mural in the United States Court, HASTINGS, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special.) There was a good crowd in the courthouse last night to hear Major Perking of the Tenth United States cavalry give a graphic description of the siege of Santiago. As he was a participant in the battle and was promoted from a lieutenant for gallantry, his talk was listened to with marked attention. His coming here was the cause of an organization being formed among the relatives and friends of Nebraska soldiers for the purpose of making arrangements to forward Christmas presents to the boys who are now at the front. George P. Work was elected president of the organization, and Dave McGill secretary. Short speeches were also made by General Gage and A. V. Cole. SOLICITUDE FOR BANKERS Attorney General Smyth Shows * III *. I think in this is not a mill in the history of a bank I'm sure it is not a like situation. LINCOLN, Nov. 4. (Special) An Omaha man who was here today tells another story illustrating the solicitude of Attorney General Smyth for the bankers similar to that which he showed them in the prosecution on the Hartley bond. It appears that after the Midland bank failure, depositors secured evidence tending to show that there was criminality by the officers of the bank accountable for its wreck. One of the depositors went to Attorney General Smith and related the facts to him. The attorney general advised that in his opinion there would be no difficulty in proceeding against the bank officers criminally and agreed to take up the case. He was paid the fee asked and retained for that purpose, but demanded further time to look up authorities. The Omaha man said he had seen the receipt, dated May 1, 1807, and written on the letterhead of the attorney general's office, over the signature of C.J. Smith acknowledging payment for "fees in Midland State bank case." When the depositors went to Mr. Smith shortly after this he told them he had changed his mind and that he did not think the bank officers could be prosecuted criminally and that he would have nothing to do with the case. He carefully forgot, however, to return any of the money he had accepted for his services, although he had not turned a hand in the matter. Whether his change of mind was due to the same thing that prompted his leniency to the bankers in the Bartley case is an open question. BURKETT LINCOLN, Nov. 4. (Special Telegram.) C.J., Burkett, republican candidate for Congress, held meetings tonight in the same halls visited by Mannhan Tuesday night, except that he did not go to the state Capitol. In the same wards where Mannhan failed to get over thirty people together Burkett talked to enthusiastic crowds. At the largest hall where Mannhan had just enough people to fill the first two rows of seats, fully 800 crowded in to hear Burkett. There is enthusiasm among the Republicans all over Lancaster county. LIVE BIRD CHAMPIONSHIP SHOOT Prior to the Cincinnati Gun Club live bird tournament ended today, with the result that Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake, IA, won the silver cup and the live bird championship of America. When yesterday closed twenty birds of the twenty-five bird shoot had been scored. The remaining five birds were shot off today, with clean scores of twenty-five each, and first money to W.H. Elliston, Fred Gilbert, Charles Budd, and H.C. Young of Springfield, O. The second money on twenty-four birds each went to J.S. Fanning, Hollis Hicks, Hollowell, Fulford, and L.C. Smith. Third money on twenty-three birds each went to J.A.H. Elliott, F. Alker, J.H. Clay, Andy Meaders, and Nye. Fourth money, on twenty-one birds, went to C.M.F. Lindley, A. W. Lubray, H.G. Falls, West, R.L. Tremble, and A.C. Courtney. Settle got fifth money on twenty-one birds and his share was larger than that of any in the higher classes that divided money. Only Elliston, Gilbert, Budd, and Young contested in the shoot-off for the cup. Elliston lost three of the first twenty-five birds and dropped out. Gilbert, Budd, and Young tied in twenty-four. In the second shoot-off they tied on twenty-three each. In the third twenty-five Gilbert killed twenty-four and won the cup, with Budd and Young each having twenty-three. It required 100 birds to decide the championship contest, of which Gilbert killed ninety-six, Budd ninety-five, and Young ninety-five. The wind was high today and the shooting was difficult. The birds throughout were strong flyers. COMPLATES OVER GHARDI ON TODAY. KENTUCKY and Nebraska "Will Settle the Championship in Kansas. The championship of western Intercollegiate football will probably be determined at Lawrence, Kan., today with the Nebraska warriors of the gridiron arrayed against the eleven of Kansas university. There Is, of course, one more championship team to be contested that between Kansas and Missouri - but the Tigers have not shown themselves to be the championship class and they, therefore, may as well be counted out. Like last year's game, today's promises to be hotly contested, but to the impartial observer who has pursued the work of both elevens since the beginning of the season, Nebraska seems to have a better chance for victory. Nevertheless, the Jayhawks have been put through a vigorous course of sprouts and have shown great improvement. They will probably give the Antelope state team a hard argument, especially as they are thoroughly imbued with that bitter feeling that has existed for some time between the two teams. The time center positions of the two aggregations are about even, but Nebraska has slightly the better of it at the tackles and ends. This is the case also at the halves, and at quarter and fullback Nebraska has certainly a great advantage. Both teams have reported out reports of injured munitions but these are undoubtedly exaggerated. Halfback William of Nebraska, however, is laid up, but Folmer is a worthy substitute. The Nebraska lineup will be as follows: Stringer, Brey ends; Gilbert, Kittinger, tackle; Davis, Hinton, Turner. Kimball, Melson, center; Killott quarter; Williams, Benedict, halves; Irving, fullback; substitutes, Heasoner, Pillsbury, Tollmer, Drain. The biggest game in the east will be the Harvard-Pennsylvania contest at Cambridge. The result seems to depend largely upon the ability of the Crimson to stop the Quakers' noted single-back play. It takes a strong center to do this and at this point the Crimson is the weaker. If, however, the formation can be broken up, Harvard has a chance provided it does not become milled with sloppiness. Old Harvard the Crimson teams are half beaten when they commence to gain against the Quakers. If the stalled feather is inserted the game may be even up, for while Princeton has the stronger line Harvard has the superior backs. Stringing in New York is 5 to 1 against Harvard and in Boston tomorrow's odds are 10 to 7 against the Crimson. Yale has no games but the other two of the big quintet have contests provided with contests: Princeton plays at West Point and Cornell goes up against Williams at Burlington. ON THIS THING THAT GOES: ( Good 'The at Lincoln Corn Game and Wichita Wichita. CINCINNATI, Nov. - George was played for a good thing at Latonia today, but went wrong. The horse opened at 10 to 1 in the betting and backed down to 5 to 1. George got away poorly and closed a dirge in the stretch, but could not overtake Rochester, who won galloping. Results.

Joe Choynski narrowly escaped being put to sleep several times tonight at the Arena Athletic club before the savage onslaught of Gus Ruhlin of Akron, O. Each time he was apparently saved by the bell. The bout was limited to six rounds and was one of the fastest seen here in a long time. Ruhlin towered high over Joe's head and there was a difference of twenty-five to thirty pounds in favor of the Akron fighter. He forced the fighting from beginning to end, Choynski repeatedly circled the ring in efforts to get out of his way. Towards the close of the first round Joe steadied himself for the first and only time and landed several hard rights and lefts on Ruhlin's face. One of these blows broke Choynski's right forefinger in the early part of the second round. Choynski fell through the ropes and landed on his head while evading Ruhlin. The Ohio man forced Joe all around the ring for the next three rounds and Choynski was shaky at the termination of each, falling down several times to evade Ruhlin's rush. Ruhlin fouled a number of times in the clinches, but it was apparently due to the heat of the encounter. Both men were exhausted in the final round, which was uneventful. JOE GETS THE DECISION. Fought McPartland Twenty-five Rounds Before the Lincoln Athletic club. McPartland was a favorite in the betting over the Maryland boy. The men put up a beautiful light, both landing hard and fiercely. By the ninth round Guns' success in feeling that his left swings on the head bent his opponent up. McPartland began to get a bit wild in his work, but the colored boy kept his temper and his wind and repeatedly landed telling blows on his opponent's cheek.

Uattln called attention to the fact 'that ' this was a campaign peculiarly of pa triotism , considering the Cuban war and the necessity for sustaining the present ad ministration. The republican party had been the friend of the colored man. Ho re ferred to the bravery of the colored soldiers at Santiago. Closing , ho advised all to puti | u cross In the circle at the head of the | Btralght republican ticket on election day. iMr. Beverly told of some of his own yer- sonal observations of the manner In which the colored people of the south are treated by the democrats there. Ho urged a solid support of iMr. Kleratead for re-election on the county board for the reason that the election of a democrat would make the board democratic and throw all the county patron- ( go to the democrats. Ho had heard several populists say they Intended to vote tbo re publican ticket this fall. KlerNtenil ATKIU-N for Mereer. Howas followed by Mr. Klcrstead , who irgucd strongly in favor of the re-election Bt Dave IMorcer to congress and tbo election f Judge Hayward as governor.

I understand Pat Ford has made the threat that If the- democrats get control of the county board every republican will have to go , but I think ho Is counting chickens before they are hatched. Strmvii'N Talk. A plea was made by Mr. Kleratead for Phil E. Winter for county attorney and the various other candidates on the republican ticket. The next speaker was Judge Strawn. Ho was not a candidate , ho said , there fore he could speak as one voter to another.

RAILROADS MAY READJUST RATES StornKC-lii-TrniiMlt Alloired In Other Cltlen nml Omnhu Grnln Men Feel thnt Slime 1'rlvlleKc Should Obtain Here. The discussion of securing arrangements with the railroad companies whereby grain may be stopped at Omaha , instead of being hurried through hero to Chicago and St. Louis , Is rife among freight men as well as grain men here , and from the Interest manifested In the movement It Is bellecd that It will be fruitful of good results. Encouraged by the success of Kansas City , whose leading men urged the rallroaJj to put In storage-ln-transit rates there , and finally secured what they went after , the grain men of Omaha feel that they can ob tain similar concessions for this city. There appears to be no positively retardatlvo ele ment , as even the oQlclals of a number of the railroads express themselves as willing to co-operato with any fair movement to secure the results desired. In speaking of the matter a Union Pacific olDcial eald to The Bee : "I'm glad The Bee has called attention to the fact that the term 'mllling-in-transit' rate 'is n misnomer as applied here. There can bo no such rate here , as there is at Minneapolis , for wo have no mills hero. The thing that Omaha wants Is a reconslgnlng privilege , so that the grain man may bring hla grain to the Omaha market , offer it for sale , and then ship It oh without an overcharge. How Thin rroimnltlnn AVorkM. "To Illustrate the matter , let us suppose the reconslgnlng privilege la In effect. A man ships grain from Kearney , Neb. , to the Mississippi river. But ho stops his grain here and offers It for sale. It Is sold to an other market. A new bill of lading Is made out and the grain Is sent to St. Louis. Ho Is not overcharged for this , but Is charged a proportionate share of the through rate. Say the through rate from Kearney , Neb. , to the Mississippi river might be 20 cents , ho would pay only 0 1-4 cents. He would have the difference between the through rate and the rate between Kearney and Omaha refunded to him. But suppose after trying the market hero ho concluded to send ou bis grain to the Mississippi river. Ho could then do so for Just the same rate that ho would have been charged had bis grain gone directly from Kearney to the Mlasls- slppl river. Ho would have to pay nothing extra for the privilege of stopping his grain here to try the Omaha market. Minneapolis baa a mllllng-ln-translt rate which allows the grain shipped In there to 1 be stopped for milling purposes , the prod ucts being sent on as if they constituted the original shipment and for the sarno rate as though they had not 'been ' stopped. Kansas City practically enjoys a recon slgnlng privilege , for them is a charge of but 1 cent per 10 pounds for grain that is stopped there. The situation In Kansas Pity is slightly different from that In Omaha , or is BO viewed from a railroad standpoint. The difference Is that proper- tional rate * are made to the south , to the east and to the southwest from Kansas City , while no such rajes are made from Omaha. The Union Pacific Is the one grain-carrying road that has Its eastern terminus here and therefore Is favorable to the rcconsignmcnt privilege for this city. The Elkhorn , with the Northwestern , constitute a through line to Chicago. The Hock Island U a through Chicago line , and the Burlington has through lines to both Chicago and St. Louis. As explained by competent railroad raon , these through lines are afraid to allow a reconslgnlng privilege > to Omaha , for fear that the grain they bring into Omaha maybe bo consigned out of hero over some other railroad and the originating line will thereby lese the long haul to Chicago or to St. Louis that it bad banked on when H took the grain from the Held. The Chicago lines are said to be especially fearful of the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf railroad , which has lately obtained a foothold here. If grain is stopped here by the Burlington , for instance , instead of It being sent to I Chicago or St. Louis over Its own rails , the I grain may bo sent to either ono of those i grain centers o\or some other line or It i may bo sent south to Galvcaton or Port Arthur by the Port Arthur route or borne ! other line.

FOURTEEN GRAND SEVENTEEN BARGAINS SATURDAY RALLY IN THE THIRD WARD Colored Republicans Turn Out to Hear the County Candidates. ALL URGED TO VOTE STRAIGHT TICKET James Smith, Chairman, Everly, and William M. Hobbs opened the Third Ward Voters of the Republic of the Present President McKinley | The colored republicans of the Third Ward turned out in their full strength last night at a rousing meeting at the corner of Twelfth street and Capitol avenue to listen to some stirring republican speeches and to enjoy a barrel of oysters which Nathaniel Brown opened for them. The Eagle Mando band club was on hand, too, and gave some fine music of an appropriate character, James Smith singing some campaign songs, accompanied by William M. Hobbs and Jesse Ford with guitars. The meeting was presided over by O.W. Jackson. The speakers were: John W. Bustler, J.A. Beverly, William I. Klernetz, Wilfred S. Strawn, C.H. Williams, J.H. Woods, and several others. Every speaker urged a vote for the straight republican ticket and put in a word for V.U. Walker. Mr. Bustler called attention to the fact that this was a campaign peculiarly of patriotism, considering the Cuban war and the necessity for sustaining the present administration. The republican party had been the friend of the colored man. He referred to the bravery of the colored soldiers at Santiago. Closing, he advised all to put a cross in the circle at the head of the Straight republican ticket on election day. Mr. Beverly told of some of his own personal observations of the manner in which the colored people of the south are treated by the democrats there. He urged a solid support of Mr. Klernetz for re-election on the county board for the reason that the election of a democrat would make the board democratic and throw all the county patronage to the democrats. He had heard several populists say they intended to vote the republican ticket this fall. Klernetz SPEAKS for Mercer. Howard was followed by Mr. Klernetz, who urged strongly in favor of the re-election of Dave Mercer to congress and the election of Judge Hayward as governor. Mr. Klernetz said: To desert Mr. McKinley now would be like an enemy deserting its general on the field of battle. Never did the president of this nation need the support of the people more than now, with the peace treaty still pending. The republican party has kept every promise it made two years ago. Capital has no confidence in popular rule and so long as that party remains the dominant one in this state, so long will capital be slow to invest in Nebraska. The populists are trying to mislead the people by their figures, but the fact is that they have been collecting rent and interest on school lands sold or raised by former republican administrations. We have a republican administration in this state, interest rates on capital seeking investment here will fall. It is necessary to send a republican legislative delegation from this county to Lincoln so we can elect a republican United States senator to sustain President McKinley. We must send Dave Mercer back to congress, he is well known there. On the other hand, Mr. Hitchcock could not secure anything for us, and he would hamper the administration. So far as my own office is concerned, I promise to give you the same economical administration as in the past. I understand Pat Ford has made the threat that if the democrats get control of the county board every republican will have to go, but I think he is counting chickens before they are hatched. Strawn's Talk. A plea was made by Mr. Klernetz for Phil E. Winter for county attorney and the various other candidates on the republican ticket. The next speaker was Judge Strawn. He was not a candidate, he said, therefore he could speak as one voter to another. He had been born and reared among colored people and when the call was made thirty-five years ago to go down and help free the black slaves of the south he was one of those who responded. He referred to Judge Hayward also as a union soldier who had done his part to free the slaves. Prosperity came with the election of President McKinley. Like Mr. Klernetz, he reasoned that capital would come to Nebraska and invest if the state should go republican and. The argued case for Mr. Mercer's re-election on the ground that he is the better able to secure necessary appropriations for Omaha and this state, because of his wide acquaintance at Washington. Each of the candidates, including Winter, Klearstead, and the rest, came in for a share of attention from Judge Strawn. About the last speaker was G. U. Williams, who is the candidate on the state ticket for commissioner of public lands and buildings. He made a good point on the general prosperity of the nation under Republican rule. In spite of populist misgivings, "General Prosperity" had taken charge of affairs. Coming down to local matters, he said his own experience on the county board had convinced him of the great interest taken in good roads by Mr. Klearstead and he considered good roads one of the greatest civilizers. The oysters followed the speaking and a good time was enjoyed until a late hour. DEPOSITORS ARE IMPATIENT Creditors of Defunct Mills Bank Hold Meeting To Devise Ways and Means of Getting Their Money About fifty of the 3,000 depositors in the defunct savings banks of the city, the German, the Nebraska, and the Midland, held a meeting last night at 2203 Farnam Street to devise ways and means of getting the money they have in the institutions. After a lengthy and very discordant meeting, it was decided to send a committee to the equity judges, to ask them to discharge the receivers of the banks, sell the assets, and distribute the proceeds among the depositors and institute proceedings against the stockholders for the remaining deposits. This committee was formed as follows: John M. Acklin, Miss R. E. Burke, Miss Mary Fairbrother, and J. O'Shaughnessy representing the Nebraska Savings Bank depositors; T. A. Norris, Dr. George Wilkinson, Dr. Green, and W. F. Wapplach, representing the German Savings Bank depositors; and Daniel Carey, Amos Metzler, and Thomas Douglas, representing the Midland Bank depositors.

RAILROADS MAY READJUST RATES Stormy-Hurried Transactions Allowed in Other Cities and Omaha Grain Men Feel that Similar Privileges Should be Obtained Here. The discussion of securing arrangements with the railroad companies whereby grain may be stopped at Omaha, instead of being hurried through here to Chicago and St. Louis, is rife among freight men as well as grain men here, and from the interest manifest in the movement it is believed that it will be fruitful of good results. Encouraged by the success of Kansas City, whose leading men urged the railroads to put in storage-in-transit rates there, and finally secured what they went after, the grain men of Omaha feel that they can obtain similar concessions for this city. There appears to be no positively retarding element, as even the officials of a number of the railroads express themselves as willing to cooperate with any fair movement to secure the results desired. In speaking of the matter, a Union Pacific official said to The Bee: "I'm glad The Bee has called attention to the fact that the term 'milling-in-transit' rate is a misnomer as applied here. There can be no such rate here, as there is at Minneapolis, for we have no mills here. The thing that Omaha wants is a reconsigning privilege, so that the grain man may bring his grain to the Omaha market, offer it for sale, and then ship it on without an overcharge. How This Commission Works. "To illustrate the matter, let us suppose the reconsigning privilege is in effect. A man ships grain from Kearney, Neb., to the Mississippi river. But he stops his grain here and offers it for sale. It is sold to another market. A new bill of lading is made out and the grain is sent to St. Louis. He is not overcharged for this, but is charged a proportionate share of the through rate. Say the through rate from Kearney, Neb., to the Mississippi river might be 20 cents, he would pay only 5 1-4 cents. He would have the difference between the through rate and the rate between Kearney and Omaha refunded to him. But suppose after trying the market here he concluded to send on his grain to the Mississippi river. He could then do so for just the same rate that he would have been charged had his grain gone directly from Kearney to the Mississippi river. He would have to pay nothing extra for the privilege of stopping his grain here to try the Omaha market. Minneapolis has a milling-in-transit rate which allows the grain shipped in there to be stopped for milling purposes, the products being sent on as if they constituted the original shipment and for the same rate as though they had not been stopped. Kansas City practically enjoys a reconsigning privilege, for there is a charge of but 1 cent per 10 pounds for grain that is stopped there. The situation in Kansas City is slightly different from that in Omaha, or is so viewed from a railroad standpoint. The difference is that proportional rates are made to the south, to the east, and to the southwest from Kansas City, while no such rates are made from Omaha. The Union Pacific is the one grain-carrying road that has its eastern terminus here and therefore is favorable to the reconsigning privilege for this city. The Elkhorn, with the Northwestern, constitute a through line to Chicago. The Rock Island is a through Chicago line, and the Burlington has through lines to both Chicago and St. Louis. As explained by competent railroad men, these through lines are afraid to allow a reconsigning privilege to Omaha, for fear that the grain they bring into Omaha may be consigned out of here over some other railroad and the originating line will thereby lose the long haul to Chicago or to St. Louis that it had banked on when it took the grain from the field. The Chicago lines are said to be especially fearful of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf railroad, which has lately obtained a foothold here. If grain is stopped here by the Burlington, for instance, instead of it being sent to Chicago or St. Louis over its own rails, the grain may be sent to either one of those grain centers over some other line or it may be sent south to Galveston or Port Arthur by the Port Arthur route or some other line. LAFAYETTE DAY IN SCHOOLS Children Join in the Effort to Raise Money for a Monument to be Erected in Paris. The celebration of Lafayette day by the school children of Omaha was deferred from October 19 until yesterday owing to the attraction at the exposition on the former date. The Board of Education granted permission to charge a small admission fee to visitors attending the exercises yesterday and to take up a collection among the children to assist in erecting a monument to Lafayette on the grounds of the Paris exposition, to be unveiled United States day, July 4, 1900. The day was celebrated with song and story in almost every school in the city, public, private, and parochial. The programs presented in the different schools varied according to the age of the pupils and were all interesting and instructive. Singing was made a great feature of the day, the children joining heartily in singing "America," "The Star Spangled Banner" and "The Red, White and Blue." The national songs were followed by explanations of the purpose of the observance of the day by the teachers. Essays and orations on "Lafayette's Birthplace and Boyhood" and "The Friendship Existing Between Washington and Lafayette" were read. Constipation Cured. An old physician, retired from practice, had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all Throat and Lung Ailments; also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints. Having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, and desiring to relieve human suffering, I will send free of charge to all who wish it, this recipe, in German, French or English, with full directions for preparing and using. Sent by mail, by addressing, with stamp, naming this paper, W. A. Noyes, 820 Powers' Block, Rochester, N. Y. SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. Councilman Wear thinks if the city goes to the expense of putting in police telephone stations, a patrol wagon ought to be purchased in order to make the system complete. When an arrest is made now the officer has to walk his prisoner to the Jail and this means a long tramp, as some of the beats are a long way from police headquarters. Under the present charter, only 6 mills is allowed for police purposes and this is not enough for a city of this size. It was stated yesterday that an effort would be made this winter to have the legislature take some action on this matter and increase both the fire and police levies. With a little more money a patrol wagon could be purchased and maintained. Late Registration. Today is the third and last day of registration and an effort will be made to get every voter to register before it is too late. Captain Austin of the central committee and Henry C. Murphy, who is in charge of the republican headquarters in this city, propose to have one or more men in each ward today to look after the registration. A list of the republican voters who have not registered has been compiled and these voters will be visited during the day. Only a few, over 1,700 names have been registered so far, leaving at a low calculation 1,300 voters who have not registered. Relatives of Undertaker Brewer has succeeded in locating the relatives of Herbert V. Whiting, the man who died at the South Omaha hospital a day or two ago. The wife of the deceased lives in Van Buren, Ark., and she has instructed Mr. Brewer to prepare the remains for burial and to forward them to her. The deceased was formerly an enlisted man in the Twenty-second Infantry, stationed at Fort Crook. He left the army about a year ago and went south. Relatives of Mrs. Whiting were found in Omaha through the notice of the death published in The Bee. Twenty-Third Street Ready. Twenty-third street is now open from Vinton street to this city. Last year the city of South Omaha graded this street from A to F streets, but there was considerable delay in doing the necessary work at the Omaha end of the street. Finally, Mayor Ensor induced Mayor Moore and Engineer Rosewater to come down and take a look at the road and as the cost of fixing it up was not much the work was done. The completion of this work gives South Omaha another northern outlet which was badly needed. Mission Services at St. Martin's. Commencing on Friday evening, November 11, at St. Martin's Episcopal church, Rev. Walter S. Howard will conduct mission services and a course of instruction for a week or more. "Lot's Choice" is to be the topic at the opening meeting. In this course of instruction the doctrines of the Episcopal church will be unfolded and such questions as may be placed in the question box will be answered. Opening Madison Street. Councilman Barrett is pushing his scheme to open Madison street beyond the Union Pacific tracks. The matter has now gone to the streets and alleys committee for investigation and it is expected that a report will be made before long. Madison street is opened on both sides of the tracks and it is now desired to make a crossing across the railroad right of way. The expense of condemning this property would not amount to much, Mr. Barrett says, and he hopes to see the project go through. Market City Yesterday 101 cars of feeders were shipped to the country from this market. Workmen are now placing the terra cotta cornice on the new post office building. Services will be held at St. Clement's mission in the Third ward on Sunday evening. Manager Kerryon of the stockyards company has returned from a business trip to Chicago. The pipe for the new Twenty-fifth street sewer has arrived and work on the trench will commence in a day or two. Elmer Shafer, who was arrested a few days ago for stealing a watch from Victor Waltmann, was tried in police court yesterday and sentenced to the county Jail for thirty days. Mayor Ensor is engaged in signing up the grading bonds for district No. 34. The bonds are issued to pay for the grading of H Street from Twentieth to Twenty-first street and hold at a premium. Joseph Suffern was arrested by Chief Sexton of the Cudahy police force yesterday for stealing meat. The prisoner was taken before Judge Dabcock and paid a fine of $1 and costs, the total amounting to $1. The trial of Joe Maddox, who is confined in the county Jail on the charge of shooting Mike Hart, a Q Street saloon keeper, has been postponed without date. It is understood that one of the important witnesses is ill. Hugh Finn was sentenced to fifteen days in the county Jail by Judge Dabcock yesterday and his consort, Annie Reed, was given ten days at the same institution. The couple were found occupying the same room at one of the hotels here. Mrs. Mary Shea of Kansas City has written Chief Carroll asking him to locate her brother, John Shea, who is supposed to be here. The missing man is a butcher by trade and his sister thought he might be found at one of the packing houses. YMCA Reception. The annual opening reception of the Young Men's Christian association occurred last evening in Young Men's Christian Association. Sociation hall at 8 o'clock and was attended by more than 100 men and boys who are interested in the association's welfare. The program consisted of music, addresses, athletics, and refreshments. The music was by the Sutorlus Mandolin club and there were addresses by X. T. Lindsey, J. E. Dunn, and H. J. Penfold, all of whom, taking the subject "After the Exposition What?" administered sound advice to the youth present. After the speaking, there was a match game of basketball between teams composed of players who belong to the association, the Blacks, and the Hides, the latter being the victors. Then the refreshments were served in the parlors. FIRE RECORD. Fire in Fort Riley. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 4. (Special Telegram.) Fire, evidently of incendiary origin, broke out in an unoccupied set of officers' quarters at Fort Russell at 6 o'clock this evening, destroying the building and contents, a lot of stored household goods belonging to Lieutenant N. O. Langdon, Eighth Infantry, who is with his regiment at Huntsville, Ala. At the time of the fire, a gale was blowing at the velocity of fifty miles an hour and the entire post seemed doomed to destruction. The colored soldiers of the Fourth Infantry, now stationed at the post, worked fiercely with buckets and hose and prevented the fire from spreading. Several of the men were badly scorched by the flames. Lieutenant Gelger, who was aiding in the work, was seriously injured by being struck on the head by an iron bucket thrown from the roof of one of the buildings. The Cheyenne fire department was called upon for aid and responded by sending the Durant Fire company. The fire was under control by the time the company reached Fort Russell, which is three miles from the city. The loss is $2,000 on the building and $1,000 on furniture. Stable and Cattle Destroyed, ELKHORN, Neb., Nov. 4. (Special) At 5:30 a.m. today, E. Swazey's barn and sheds were burned. The fire was discovered when it was too late to save anything and five horses, three cows, and thirteen calves perished. Hay, small grain, harness, etc., to the amount of $200 was also consumed. The origin of the fire is unknown. The property was not insured. DEATH RECORD. Mrs. George H. Franco died at 11 o'clock last night at the family residence, 603 South Twenty-eighth Street, at the age of 43 years. The funeral will be held at the residence at 2:30 p.m. today.

I REBATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS Exposition Will Pay Seventy-Tits Per Gent of Paid Up Stock. PAYMENT ON TDTHER STOCK is DEFERRED Directors "Will ConMdrr tlint Mntter at n Litter Dntc ( locution of Show for Next Ycnr Still At a special mooting of the board of direct ors of 'tho ' exposition held at the grounds yesterday afternoon a proposition was re ceived from the business men who are boom- In : the 1899 exposition to purchase the build ings and all other Improvements , together with all other chattel property of the exposi tion association and all leasehold Interests ( or $10,000. After u brief discussion the proposition was referred to the executive committee with Instructions to report back to the board nt the next meeting. The proposition specified that the new company should assume all existing con tracts with leaseholders and the city of Omaha relative to leaving the grounds In the ( tame condition that existed before the ex position was built. It was stipulated that $3,000 of tha purchase price should bo paid AS soon as the proposition was accepted and the remaining $7,000 December 1. The 3rat payment wan to be forfeited in case the backers of the enterprise failed to form a company to fulfill the.remainder . of the con tract. The document was signed by P. E. Her and Hoyden Brothers , who assumed an equal liability for the purchase price. The discussion that occurred was hardly sufficient to Indicate how the propoiltlon was regarded by a majority of the directors. Mr. Llnflfey suggested that before he aetcd on the m ttcr ho wanted to know who was behind It , nx this association does not want to d-lsposo of its property except to people who are likely to make a success of the enterprise. Ho also intimated that the con sideration was hardly bu31ci' > iu. Further debate was avoided by th reference to th ? executive committee , Thn bulk of the afternoon was occupied by the discussion of a number of the ques tions Involved in the proposal to distribute * proportion of the surplus funds In the treasury among the stockholders. Secretary Wakrflcld reported that the association has now about $355,000 on hand , against which current bills for October amounting to be tween $35,000 and $30,000 , are outstanding. Paid-up stock subscriptions now aggregate about $271,000. It was therefore calculated that a 76 per cent rebate could be allowed nnrt etlll leave $100,000 In the treasury to meet prospective obligations. The question whether the ( subscribers who have only partially paid for tholr stock arc to he considered in the distribution was discussed at some length , but without a definite conclusion. The opinion of the at torney has not been received , but the opinion that the delinquents should bo given a pro r.tta rebate on the amount ! that they bad actually paid was expressed by a number of thedirectors. . It was eventually decided that a rebate of $7.50 shall bo allowed on ach share of stock that la fully paid up , tht , question of extending the distribution ( o thcsa who have made partial payments to be considered later. Aside from the directors' meeting there u llttlo on the ground * to Indicate that * . big exposition had existed at the begin ning of the week.

The Intense rivalry between local express companies has resulted In a material sav ing for exhibitors. The rates that were first promulgated have been materially re duced and In most cases the goods are hauled for a very reasonable compensation. So far little has been done toward de molishing the buildings. Workmen are be ginning to tear down the Iowa and Kansa * buildings on the bluff tract , but aside from these and sorao of the small concessions buildings the architecture of the exposition remains unchanged. .SuKK < * Ntlon for Kxponlt Ion. OMAHA , Nov. 3. To the Editor of The Bee : In the event that the. Transmlsslsslppl Exposition Is continued until the year 1899 I think there are two features of the exposl- tlon that can bo developed and assist In making the venture a success. It would seem that the mere continuance of the pres ent exposition for another year would not attract on attendance sufficient to warrant the undertaking. There are two featuies that can bo Introduced that , I 'think , will Insure success : First , to ask the co-operation oC the United States government In producing at Omaha In 1899 an exhibit of the resources , the wealth , the products and the people of the Islands of Porto Klco , Cuba , the Philip pines , the Sand\\lch Islands and the La- drone Islands. Such an exhibit would ac quaint the people of the United States with the resources of the now possessions of our government and would familiarize them with the habits and the customs of the people ple that inhabit these possessions. It would bo very Interesting , for example , to have an exhibit showing a street In San Juan , Porto Rico ; also a street In Manila , and perhaps some local representations from the Islands of Hawaii. The second feature of the exposition that could possibly bo secured would be to have the United States present here next summer thn exhibit which It will display at the Paris exposition In 1900 , and to have as many American exhibitors that propose to exhibit In Paris in 1900 prepare their exhibits In time to exhibit In Omaha in 1S99. If these two features could bo developed and certain states In the transmlaslsslppl region that did not have state buildings at our exposition this summer could bo pre vailed upon to erect buildings next year the continuance of the exposition might ho very successful , and would certainly be very attractive.

There was no mark on any of the garments found in the basket and nothing to indicate who the mother might be. After talking to the priests at the church about the child , Mr : .

Dlscurslng "Tho Philosophy of Contact , " Rabbi Franklin last night showed that In all ages men have been better by rca&on of contact. Alen and women , like the chameleon , the lizard that Inhabits the < wilds cf Africa , take on the color of their i surroundings and became like their asso- ' elates to a great extent ; thus these who continually associate with the bad follow their example , while those who associate' ' with the pure in thought and spirit become ; better by reason of Huch associations. All persons are susceptible to the Influ ences of the good and bad , which Influences the rabbi described as being something like germs , infecting these whom they struck. Illustrating the Influence of contact , the speaker cited the war sentiment that pre vails the world over , showing that after the China-Japan war was declared nations that before had enjoyed the most friendly rela tions bad suddenly shown the spirit of strife and had grown belligerent , one toward another. ' Were it not for the better Influence of contact no authentic hletorr of th world could ever hove been written. Contact has resulted In making the civilized nations cf i the world moro progressive , and In proof of this the speaker cited China , which Is prac- ! tlcally In the same condition physically , morally aud socially as It was thousands of years ago , simply because Us people have not como In contact with the more civilized and progressive nations and have shut the door to the light of truth , j The people who ore. the most cosmopolitan stand the highest EO far as civilization is concerned. They have como In contact with those of other countries and climes and have I profited thereby. Taking up the question of race , the : speaker said what the Jew is and what ho has given to the world Is due to contact ; ho bus worked nut his destiny and had he re- ' malned Isolated the. world would have been much poorer by reason of the absence of his words and works. The tnflucncii of contact has brought out the great inventions , such as tha telephone ami the telegraph , the railroad and the steamboat. The Congress , of Liberal Religion , held In Omaha during the last summer , Illustrates what comes about by reason of contact. At that gatherIng - Ing It wo * demonstrated that the aspiration 1 of all and < the hope of all denominations , , Protestant , Jew and Catholic , Is the same. Contact breaks down the barriers because I1 it breaks into the realms of Ignorance and shows men and women the lights of the great truths ; It shows that oil are striving to reach the same goal that they may bring about a better day for the entire world.

Alumni of Gopher State University Eesiding in Nebraska Enjoy a Reunion , PLEASANT GATHERING HELD IN OMAHA Half n Dozen of the Son * of "SUI-U- Mnli" Ilecount Their COCKC CxpcrlcncoN and Organize ait ANMoclutloii , Maroon and old gold were In evidence at the Mlllard hotel last evening , the occa sion being a reunion and banquet of the alumni of the University of Ailnnesota resid ing In Nebraska. There were present : Rev. Charles W. Savldgo and A. AI. Welles , Omaha , ' 77 ; Judge W. W. Keysor , Omaha , i ' 79 ; H. P. Shumway. Wakefleld , ' 82 ; H. S. Abbott , master In chancery of the Union Pa cific , Omaha , ' 85 ; George II. Alorse , in structor In electrical engineering at the Ne braska university , ' 93. It 'was ' a representa tive gathering , there being1 two yawyers , one clergyman , one teacher , one Journalist and one merchant. What thtwo gentlemen i lacked In numbers they made up In enthusi asm for their Alma Alater and spent an ex ceptionally pleasant e\enlug recounting col-'i lego experiences and laying plans for the future. The banquet was held In one of the prl- | vate dining rooms of the hotel , an elaborate i menu btflng served. The postprandial ex- | erolses were uot the least enjoyable features of the occasion. A letter of greeting Was read from President Northrop , congratulatIng - i Ing the Nebraska alumni and conveying the cheering Information that the Ailnnesota Institution Is on the high road to prosperity , with an enrollment for the year that will ccach 3,000. This piece of good news was greeted with cheers and the familiar "Uah- . rah-rah , Ski-U-AIah" of the gophers. Dr. I W. W. Folwell , former president , now pro- j fossor of social science and university UI I brarlan , eent a letter In Latin , which was a nut for the half dozen graduates to crack not on any account of any lack of purity In diction , but well , any college graduate who has mixed 'in ' the hurly burly of llfo for ' a few years understands how R Is himself. After berne discussion a permanent organ ization was formed for the purpose of pro- ' moling good fellowship and advancing the Interests of Alma Mater. II. S. Abbott was elected president and A. AI.

MRS. WAIT'S TWO LECTURES N oil American LreciiiU and American Wlnvn Are I.I.Htem-a to iv 1 th IiitorfMt. Mrs. Frona Eunice Walt , a member of the California State Board of Horticulture , dellvcied two lectures In this city yester day. The first was before the principals of the schools in the rooms of the Board of Education at S o'clock and the second at the Commercial club In the evening. In the afternoon Mre. Walt cpoke on "Tho Myths and Legends of Our Own Land. " This Is a subject that she has made herself thoroughly familiar with by years of study and her talk was of Intense interest. She advocated the necessity of teaching the legends of our country to the pupils of the public schools , raying that the average American youth Is much better acquainted with the history of legendary Germany and England than ho Is with that of the land ho calls his home. Yet the cliff dwellers , the Pueblo Indians and the other tribes that roamed the western plains and prairies before - fore the advent of the whites is equally as Interesting as the doing of the prehistoric Teutons. Kvldcnces of their former prowess are strewn throughout the length of thn land and their relics are to bo seen In every museum. To study thulr myths and legends would give a field rot- literary work that would astound tjio world , and which would be more fascinating than the Nlebellungen Lied. Her evening subject was "Tho Vlnclands of California. " The lecture was Illuminated by 100 slides , nearly all of which were col ored , showing the Industry In every phase as It Is carried on In the franco of the west , The pictures were tal.cn for the greater part In Napa and Sonoma counties , the heart of the grape-growing district , and repre sented several of the larger vineyards with the ripening fruit burdening the hillsides with Its purple clusters. The lecturer , speak ing with fluency and enthusiasm , explained the euro that Is exercised In gathering the grapes and conveying them to the presses and the Intricacy of the methods of fermen tation. To Illustrate this process , vlewu of the wine cellar of Captain Nelbaum , which Is considered a typical one , were thrown upon the screen. These gave n clear Idea of the many Btages that the capricious product goes through before- IH ready for shipment. Mrs. Walt explained the pro cesses of blending , filtering and riponlns , and the training that a cellar-master must have to bring forth the brat results. Interspersed with thu slides relating trv the culture of the vine were views of a number of Interesting natural objecta In the t > tate , Including the old mill , which marks the spot where Robert Lou 13 Stevenson wrote "The Silverado Squatters , " the red wood tree whore Black Hart held up the atngo coach of the Wells , Fargo & Co.'s ex- prefH , Mount St. Helena and several of the old missions of thn pail res. Mre. Walt Is delivering her lecture on the vlnelands of California In the larger cities throughout the country as an omlo- sary of the Board of Horticulture of that state. She has for the last ten years been the official wine tester for the state , and U the only woman In the United States who Is engaged In this profession. Sbo can be uald In no way to advocate the drinking of wine , but Insists that those who do dctilre to satisfy a taste for It should ueo only the best , and should know aoniotlilng of how and where It Is grown and the man ner of Us preparation. She will repeat her lecture on "Myth * and Legends" hefaro the Women's club of Omaha Monday afternoon. AMONG THE LETTER CARRIERS P.

COOK EDWARD JENSEN SHOT John Pembleton Eesents a Slight with an Attempt at Murder. ROW IN A DOWNTOWN RESTAURANT Walter Hecllnc-in to SertoCKroen mill Hie SllllNVflllVIlt Klllllt KlIllN lit the nnniscrouKlWoumllnR of the : MKht Cook. Edward Jensen , night cook at the Calumet restaurant , 1411 Douglas struct , was shot. . and seriously. If not fatally , wounded by John Pembleton , allaa John Williams , a negro , at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. 1 Pembluton In locked up nt the city Jail. Ilia companion , Oscar Williams , to whom ho handed his revolver after the shooting and who escaped capture at the time , Is locked up In an adjoining cell. Williams was captured at the exposition grounds , where ho was In hiding , at noon yesterday by Officers Wclsonborg and Dillon. Wll- j llama told the police that Pctnbleton Ural j the shot. I The shooting was the culmination of a j quarrel between Pemblelon and Williams and Walter Harry Percgo , and the cook , i Jensen , over Perego's refusat to servo the j negroes when they ordered food , IVinblo- ton and Williams , accompanied by two col ored women , Joslo L. Jones and Mattle John- ! Eon , entered the restaurant an hour he- faro the shooting and took scats at , a table In the front of the loom. j They had Just left a hall at Hartrnan'H hall , , i Fourteenth and Douglau strcat , and the men j I were under the Influence of liquor. Perego , ' ! the only waiter on duly at that hour , Instead of waiting on the quartet went Into I the kitchen to bo out of their sight , thinking they would grow tired of waiting and leave the place. After waiting about ten minutes the four became Impatient and began thrciu- j ing catsup bottles and other table furnish- I Ings against the waif to attract nitration. The crashing glass "brought Perego Into the dining room. As he entered a big I sugar bowl wan thrown at his head , but did not hit him , Pemhleton , Perego Bays , went up to him and demanded to know why ho and party had been Insulted. Ho was told that negroes were not served In the restaurant and Pombletou called him a vile name and struck him In the face. JciiNPit Taken 1't'rfKo'n I'nrt. Hearing the quarrel , Jensen , the cook , ran out of the kitchen and took Pert-go's part. Ho struck Pembleton twice In the fnco and forced him out onto the side walk , Williams and the women following. Shutting the door on the nrgroes , Jensen started back to the kitchen behind Perego. As soon as the cook turned his back to thn door Pembleton Blluntly opened It and fired' ' at him. The bullet entered Jensen's right lung and ho pitched forward Into thn arma of PereKO. Jensen was removed to thu Presbyterian hospital , whnro his wound was pronounced to be a very serious one. Ho has a lighting chance , thu doctora say , for his life. After the shooting Peinbli ton handed his revolver to Williams and ho ran cast on Douglas street , Just an Officers Havoy , Cor- mack , Flynn and Drurumy , who had been at tracted to the epot hy the ehootlng , arrived on the ( scene.

REBATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS Exposition Will Pay Seventy-Three Percent of Paid-Up Stock. PAYMENT ON UNPAID STOCK IS DEFERRED Directors "Will Consider that Matter at Their December Meeting of Show for Next Year Still At a special meeting of the board of directors of the exposition held at the grounds yesterday afternoon a proposition was received from the business men who are boosting the 1899 exposition to purchase the buildings and all other improvements, together with all other chattel property of the exposition association and all leasehold interests for $10,000. After a brief discussion the proposition was referred to the executive committee with instructions to report back to the board at the next meeting. The proposition specified that the new company should assume all existing contracts with leaseholders and the city of Omaha relative to leaving the grounds in the same condition that existed before the exposition was built. It was stipulated that $3,000 of the purchase price should be paid as soon as the proposition was accepted and the remaining $7,000 December 1. The first payment was to be forfeited in case the backers of the enterprise failed to form a company to fulfill the remainder of the contract. The document was signed by P. E. Her and Hayden Brothers, who assumed an equal liability for the purchase price. The discussion that occurred was hardly sufficient to indicate how the proposition was regarded by a majority of the directors. Mr. Linfield suggested that before he acted on the matter he wanted to know who was behind it, as this association does not want to dispose of its property except to people who are likely to make a success of the enterprise. He also intimated that the consideration was hardly business-like. Further debate was avoided by the reference to the executive committee. The bulk of the afternoon was occupied by the discussion of a number of the questions involved in the proposal to distribute a proportion of the surplus funds in the treasury among the stockholders. Secretary Wakelfield reported that the association has now about $355,000 on hand, against which current bills for October amounting to between $35,000 and $30,000, are outstanding. Paid-up stock subscriptions now aggregate about $271,000. It was therefore calculated that a 76 percent rebate could be allowed and still leave $100,000 in the treasury to meet prospective obligations. The question whether the subscribers who have only partially paid for their stock are to be considered in the distribution was discussed at some length, but without a definite conclusion. The opinion of the attorney has not been received, but the opinion that the delinquent should be given a proportionate rebate on the amount that they had actually paid was expressed by a number of the directors. It was eventually decided that a rebate of $7.50 shall be allowed on each share of stock that is fully paid up, the question of extending the distribution to those who have made partial payments to be considered later. Aside from the directors' meeting there was little on the grounds to indicate that a big exposition had existed at the beginning of the week. Even the tremendous activity that accompanied the moving of exhibits during the first two or three days has to some extent subsided. Hundreds of exhibitors have disappeared entirely and their spaces have been minimalized by the pressure. Those that remain are still actively at work, and the streets are lined with express wagons lumbering heavily away with huge loads of all conceivable material. The intense rivalry between local express companies has resulted in a material saving for exhibitors. The rates that were first promulgated have been materially reduced and in most cases the goods are hauled for a very reasonable compensation. So far, little has been done toward demolishing the buildings. Workmen are beginning to tear down the Iowa and Kansas buildings on the bluff tract, but aside from these and some of the small concessions buildings, the architecture of the exposition remains unchanged. Surviving Nation for Exposition. OMAHA, Nov. 3. To the Editor of The Bee: In the event that the TransMississippi Exposition is continued until the year 1899, I think there are two features of the exposition that can be developed and assist in making the venture a success. It would seem that the mere continuance of the present exposition for another year would not attract an attendance sufficient to warrant the undertaking. There are two features that can be Introduced that, I think, will insure success: First, to ask the cooperation of the United States government in producing at Omaha in 1899 an exhibit of the resources, the wealth, the products, and the people of the Islands of Porto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines, the Sandwich Islands, and the Ladrones Islands. Such an exhibit would acquaint the people of the United States with the resources of the now possessions of our government and would familiarize them with the habits and the customs of the people that inhabit these possessions. It would be very interesting, for example, to have an exhibit showing a street in San Juan, Porto Rico; also a street in Manila, and perhaps some local representations from the Islands of Hawaii. The second feature of the exposition that could possibly be secured would be to have the United States present here next summer the exhibit which it will display at the Paris exposition in 1900, and to have as many American exhibitors that propose to exhibit in Paris in 1900 prepare their exhibits in time to exhibit in Omaha in 1899. If these two features could be developed and certain states in the transMississippi region that did not have state buildings at our exposition this summer could be prevailed upon to erect buildings next year, the continuance of the exposition might be very successful, and would certainly be very attractive. Yours truly, JOHN W. BATON. BABY FINDS A WARM WELCOME Infant Girl Left on the Steps of St. Joseph's Church That Night A tiny girl baby, not older than two weeks, snugly wrapped in flannels, tucked in a common wicker basket, was found last evening on the steps of St. Joseph's church by the parishioners at the close of service. Rev. Father Alors had just pronounced the benediction and some of the congregation were still kneeling, when others starting to leave the chapel discovered the little waif, who made her presence known by crying lustily. It was an exceptionally pretty infant, and the women of the congregation were enchanted with it. They lifted the baby from its improvised cradle and talked baby talk to it, while venturing guesses as to what station in life its parents belonged. The little one was clothed in a long dress of white lawn tied at the neck and wrists with pink ribbons and bows. The underclothes were woolen. Its garments were all woven by hand, and of good material, leading these who found it to believe that the baby's mother was well-to-do, and not poor. There was no mark on any of the garments found in the basket and nothing to indicate who the mother might be. After talking to the priests at the church about the child, Mr. John Meldlinger, who lives at 1714 South Seventh street, volunteered to take it home for the night. Later it was taken in charge by Mrs. A. Nick, at 2422 South Sixteenth street, who will keep it for a few days in hopes that the mother will be found. The baby appeared to be of German parentage, and on a scrap of paper torn to bits in the basket, when placed together was the name of a midwife, Mrs. L. Vogel. The police are looking into the matter. CREATURES OF SURROUNDINGS Franklin Discoursing on the Influence of Contact of Man with Other Men Discussing "The Philosophy of Contact," Rabbi Franklin last night showed that in all ages men have been better by reason of contact. As men and women, like the chameleon, the lizard that inhabits the wilds of Africa, take on the color of their surroundings and become like their associates to a great extent; thus these who continually associate with the bad follow their example, while those who associate with the pure in thought and spirit become better by reason of such associations. All persons are susceptible to the influences of the good and the bad, which influences the rabbi described as being something like germs, infecting those whom they struck. Illustrating the influence of contact, the speaker cited the war sentiment that prevails the world over, showing that after the China-Japan war was declared, nations that before had enjoyed the most friendly relations had suddenly shown the spirit of strife and had grown belligerent, one toward another. Were it not for the better influence of contact, no authentic history of the world could ever have been written. Contact has resulted in making the civilized nations of the world more progressive, and in proof of this the speaker cited China, which is practically in the same condition physically, morally, and socially as it was thousands of years ago, simply because its people have not come in contact with the more civilized and progressive nations and have shut the door to the light of truth. The people who are the most cosmopolitan stand the highest so far as civilization is concerned. They have come in contact with those of other countries and climes and have profited thereby. Taking up the question of race, the speaker said what the Jew is and what he has given to the world is due to contact; he has worked out his destiny and had he remained isolated, the world would have been much poorer by reason of the absence of his words and works. The influence of contact has brought out the great inventions, such as the telephone and the telegraph, the railroad and the steamboat. The Congress of Liberal Religion, held in Omaha during the last summer, illustrates what comes about by reason of contact. At that gathering, it was demonstrated that the aspirations of all and the hope of all denominations, Protestant, Jew, and Catholic, is the same. Contact breaks down the barriers because it breaks into the realms of ignorance and shows men and women the lights of the great truths; it shows that we are striving to reach the same goal so that we may bring about a better day for the entire world.

Alumni of Gopher State University Residing in Nebraska Enjoy a Reunion, PLEASANT GATHERING HELD IN OMAHA Half a dozen of the Sons of "SKI-U-AH" Account Their College Experiences and Organize an Association, Maroon and old gold were in evidence at the Millard hotel last evening, the occasion being a reunion and banquet of the alumni of the University of Minnesota residing in Nebraska. There were present: Rev. Charles W. Savidge and A. A. Welles, Omaha, '77; Judge W. W. Keysor, Omaha, '79; H. P. Shumway, Wakefield, '82; H. S. Abbott, master in chancery of the Union Pacific, Omaha, '85; George H. Morse, instructor in electrical engineering at the Nebraska university, '93. It was a representative gathering, there being two lawyers, one clergyman, one teacher, one journalist, and one merchant. What the two gentlemen lacked in numbers they made up in enthusiasm for their Alma Mater and spent an exceptionally pleasant evening recounting college experiences and laying plans for the future. The banquet was held in one of the private dining rooms of the hotel, an elaborate menu being served. The post-prandial exercises were not the least enjoyable features of the occasion. A letter of greeting was read from President Northrop, congratulating the Nebraska alumni and conveying the cheering information that the Minnesota Institution is on the high road to prosperity, with an enrollment for the year that will reach 3,000. This piece of good news was greeted with cheers and the familiar "U-S-A! Ski-U-Ah" of the gophers. Dr. W. W. Folwell, former president, now professor of social science and university librarian, sent a letter in Latin, which was a treat for the half dozen graduates to crack not on any account of any lack of purity in diction, but well, any college graduate who has mixed in the hurly-burly of life for a few years understands how it is himself. After a brief discussion, a permanent organization was formed for the purpose of promoting good fellowship and advancing the interests of Alma Mater. H. S. Abbott was elected president and A. A. Welles secretary. It was decided to hold two formal meetings a year, the next to be at Lincoln sometime in February, at which time Chancellor MacLean, formerly a professor in the Minnesota university, will be a guest of the organization. A telegram was ordered sent to President Northrop, with the request that he read it in chapel this morning, informing the faculty and students of the organization of a Nebraska association and conveying the best wishes of the members for the prosperity of the institution. The secretary was instructed to reply to Doctor Folwell's letter, but adjured not to employ the Latin language lest he disgrace his Alma Mater. Morse was delegated to convey the best wishes of the association to the Nebraska State university and to request Chancellor MacLean to make the announcement before the student body. Plans for furthering the interests of the Minnesota university were discussed, commencement programs and "rams" were reread and laughed over and the evening closed all too quickly. When the hour came to break up the alumni pledged anew their fealty to the institution that gave them their sheepskins and all expressed themselves as being glad that they were educational products of the flagship university of the North Star State.

MRS. WAIT'S TWO LECTURES On American Freckles and American Winning Are Defeats to the Surprises. Mrs. Emma Eunice Wait, a member of the California State Board of Horticulture, delivered two lectures in this city yesterday. The first was before the principals of the schools in the rooms of the Board of Education at 5 o'clock and the second at the Commercial club in the evening. In the afternoon, Mrs. Walt spoke on "The Myths and Legends of Our Own Land." This is a subject that she has made herself thoroughly familiar with by years of study and her talk was of intense interest. She advocated the necessity of teaching the legends of our country to the pupils of the public schools, saying that the average American youth is much better acquainted with the history of legendary Germany and England than he is with that of the land he calls his home. Yet the cliff dwellers, the Pueblo Indians and the other tribes that roamed the western plains and prairies before the advent of the whites are equally as interesting as the doing of the prehistoric Teutons. Evidences of their former prowess are strewn throughout the length of the land and their relics are to be seen in every museum. To study their myths and legends would give a field not literary work that would astound the world, and which would be more fascinating than the Nibelungenlied. Her evening subject was "The Wines of California." The lecture was illuminated by 100 slides, nearly all of which were colored, showing the industry in every phase as it is carried on in the fruit of the west. The pictures were taken for the greater part in Napa and Sonoma counties, the heart of the grape-growing district, and represented several of the larger vineyards with the ripening fruit burdening the hillsides with its purple clusters. The lecturer, speaking with fluency and enthusiasm, explained the care that is exercised in gathering the grapes and conveying them to the presses and the intricacy of the methods of fermentation. To illustrate this process, views of the wine cellar of Captain Nelbaum, which is considered a typical one, were thrown upon the screen. These gave a clear idea of the many stages that the capricious product goes through before it is ready for shipment. Mrs. Walt explained the processes of blending, filtering, and ripening, and the training that a cellar-master must have to bring forth the best results. Interspersed with the slides relating to the culture of the vine were views of a number of interesting natural objects in the state, including the old mill, which marks the spot where Robert Louis Stevenson wrote "The Silverado Squatters," the redwood tree where Black Bart held up the stagecoach of the Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express, Mount St. Helena and several of the old missions of the past. Mrs. Walt is delivering her lecture on the vineyards of California in the larger cities throughout the country as a commemoration of the Board of Horticulture of that state. She has for the last ten years been the official wine tester for the state, and is the only woman in the United States who is engaged in this profession. She can be urged in no way to advocate the drinking of wine, but insists that those who do desire to satisfy a taste for it should use only the best, and should know something of how and where it is grown and the manner of its preparation. She will repeat her lecture on "Myths and Legends" before the Women's Club of Omaha Monday afternoon. AMONG THE LETTER CARRIERS P. H.

COOK EDWARD JENSEN SHOT John Pembleton Resents a Slight with an Attempt at Murder. ROW IN A DOWNTOWN RESTAURANT Walter Helbling-in to Sertoclon mill The Shooting of the Annoying Cook. Edward Jensen, night cook at the Calumet restaurant, 1411 Douglas Street, was shot, and seriously, if not fatally, wounded by John Pembleton, alias John Williams, a negro, at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Pembleton is locked up at the city jail. His companion, Oscar Williams, to whom he handed his revolver after the shooting and who escaped capture at the time, is locked up in an adjoining cell. Williams was captured at the exposition grounds, where he was in hiding, at noon yesterday by Officers Wilson and Dillon. Williams told the police that Pembleton fired the shot. The shooting was the culmination of a quarrel between Pembleton and Williams and Walter Harry Percgo, and the cook, Jensen, over Percgo's refusal to serve the negroes when they ordered food. Pembleton and Williams, accompanied by two colored women, Josie L. Jones and Mattie Johnson, entered the restaurant an hour before the shooting and took seats at a table in the front of the room. They had just left a hall at Harrison's hall, Fourteenth and Douglas Street, and the men were under the influence of liquor. Percgo, the only waiter on duty at that hour, instead of waiting on the quartet went into the kitchen to be out of their sight, thinking they would grow tired of waiting and leave the place. After waiting about ten minutes the four became impatient and began throwing catsup bottles and other table furnishings against the wall to attract attention. The crashing glass "brought Percgo into the dining room. As he entered a big sugar bowl was thrown at his head, but did not hit him, Pembleton, according to Percgo, went up to him and demanded to know why he and party had been insulted. He was told that negroes were not served in the restaurant and Pembleton called him a vile name and struck him in the face. Jensen Taken Upon Return Part. Hearing the quarrel, Jensen, the cook, ran out of the kitchen and took Percgo's part. He struck Pembleton twice in the face and forced him out onto the sidewalk, Williams and the women following. Shutting the door on the negroes, Jensen started back to the kitchen behind Percgo. As soon as the cook turned his back to the door, Pembleton Bluntly opened it and fired at him. The bullet entered Jensen's right lung and he pitched forward into the arms of Perkins. Jensen was removed to the Presbyterian hospital, where his wound was pronounced to be a very serious one. He has a fighting chance, the doctors say, for his life. After the shooting, Pembleton handed his revolver to Williams and he ran east on Douglas street, just as Officers Havoy, Cormack, Flynn and Drumney, who had been attracted to the scene by the shooting, arrived on the scene. The fleeing man was ordered to halt, but only increased his speed, and disappeared into the darkness. In a fever of bullets from the officers' revolvers, Pembleton and the women were taken to the station by the officers. When examined, Pembleton denied the shooting, and said that the man who ran away had done it. The women also said that those creameries which won Gold Medals for making the best butter must also be the best butter makers. How we have made arrangements with them to send all their butter to us, because it is the best butter made Gold Medal Creamery Butter. We also have fresh Oinery Butter, only 12½c; good Country Butter, 12½c; Best biscuits Flour, Fancy high Patent Flour per sack, 5c. We guarantee it to be the best or your money back.

On Saturday we will sell one case of plaids, checks and neat designs, worth 50c, for 25c, just the thing for children's school dresses. 2,000 dress patterns, from 5 to 7 yards per pattern, at 25c, for the whole pattern to $5 for pattern.

Priestley's black goods, 59c, 79c, 99c, $1.19. Special sale on French flannels 49c. The man who had fired the shot was identified by the three professionals as a stranger they had met but an hour before they entered the place. Alike McManus, who was the only occupant of the restaurant at the time of the shooting, told the police that he saw Pembleton fire the shot and identified him later at the police station. The waiter, Pergo, also identified Pembleton as the man. Pembleton insisted that Williams, and not he, fired the shot. Williams is a Pullman car porter on the Burlington, between Omaha and Chicago. He lives at 1125 North Seventeenth Street, with relatives. Little is known of Pembleton. Jensen's home is at Nelson, Neb. Jensen regained consciousness last night and gave his version of the shooting substantially as printed above. He positively identified Pembleton as the man who shot him. Just after the shooting, Pembleton was shown him and he told him he was the man, and later, when the officers called at the hospital and described Pembleton to him, he again said he was the right man. Pembleton, however, maintains his innocence and says that Williams is the guilty man. The latter tells a fairly true story of the affair. He denies that he was handed the revolver by Pembleton and says he never saw it after the shooting. The revolver has not been found and the police believe that the story told by eyewitnesses that the gun was passed to Williams is true and that Williams had it. The two women are evidently trying to shield Pembleton, as both place the blame on Williams. Their stories, however, are full of conflicting statements. One of the women, Mrs. Josie L. Jones, is in the hospital ward in the women's department of the city jail suffering from nervous prostration. Jensen was improving at a late hour last night and his life is believed to be saved. The attraction at Boyli's last night, tonight and this afternoon is "Gayest Manhattan," a lively potpourri of tuneful songs, catchy dances and clever sketches. The turns follow each other with commendable speed and offer of sufficient variety to please a large audience. The solo, "My Thoughts Would Still Be With You," by Miss Howls, won a deserved encore, and the topical song, "Will Somebody Tell Me Why," was very popular. George Carr as Bram Pringle represented the city-visiting farmer in a clever manner and was ably assisted by Miss Melville, Miss Darby, Miss Duncan, Miss Kornwen, Frank Gardiner and James Kieran in parts giving full chance for the display of their several and varied abilities. The dancing of Miss Kornwen and the French can-can found particular favor with the audience. LOCAL BREVITIES. The firemen were called out at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon to put out a fire that had caught in the crates in a vacant lot at 110 North Eighteenth Street. No damage was done. A sofa at the house occupied by Allen Falrichild on Ninth Street caught fire Friday. The department responded with a full alarm and extinguished the blaze. The damage was trivial. The Gontine Horsford's Phosphate Always has the name "Horsford's" on the label. NEVER GOLD IN BULK.

TJasl chance to register. Do not neg lect it. Two years of sluini reform ought tel l > o quite a stilllclency for tlie voters of Nebraska. Registration Is equally as Important as voting , because the man who neg lects to register will uot b ? permitted to vote. Roosevelt is proving as persistent a. campaigner in New York as lie did In Cuba and his courageous work deserves the same measure of HUCCOSS. Only half the voters of Omaha and South Omaha are registered so far. The registrars sjiould be kept busy today to the very closing hour of registration. The railroads are again wrestling with fhe pass agreement question and they will scon announce that they will be more strict than ever In the distribution of free passes for the coming year. But their preaching and practice will be as far apart as always. Of course the popocratlc embezzlers did not get away with as much public money In Nebraska as the republican embezzlers , but that was not their fault. Considering the circumstances and op porlimltles the popocratic ollieeholders have made a good start In the defaulter line. Having saved the state more money than they handled since their Incum bency In otlico the popocratlc state house gang are now desperately trying to save themselves. Saving money for the taxpayers Is not half the incentive to their campaign that Is saving salaries for themselves. People who remember the protracted peace negotiations that grew out of the last war between Greece and Turkey will have no trouble In understanding the delays that are encountered by the peace commission at Paris. Rome was not built in a day and neither Is an Im portant treaty of peace. The editor of a German paper will a Latin name has gotten into trouble over the publication of a poem reflect Ing upon the emperor's pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The editor will doubt less now have the Inspiration to stick to 1.41 tin texts when the poetic must again seizes him. Remember that three candidates 01 the popocratlc legislative ticket votet in the last legislature for the ousting of men lawfully elected and thus do prlvcd the people of Douglas county o the representation to which they were entitled. The people of this county can not afford to endorse fraud. In France the ministry waits untl after It IB chosen before making public Its declaration of Intentions and legls latlve program. In the United State the declaration of principles comes li the shape of the party platform enunci ated before the people pass on the claims of opposing candidates. The republican nominee for county at torney , Phil K. Winter , is by reason of his experience as deputy under County Attorney Hnldrigo thoroughly familiar with the duties of the olllco to which ho aspires. IJy electing him the people of the county will avoid all experiments with the Important business of the county attorney's olllce. Poynter Is not the only popocratlu cniv ( lldate who Is trying to play nil sides ol the game by working prohibitionists ami saloon keepers at one and the same time The popocratle candidates for congress In the First and Second districts an each trying the same racket with Pui same result of shaking the contldeuco ol nil parties. The people have no use foi straddlers. no matter what their pollt icul professions. I WHAT WKSTKHN IM'U.'KXCK mil. \ According to the Washington corre spondent of the Now York Kvenlng Post , western Influence Is very largely re- ' sponslblc for Inclining President Me- Klnley In favor of the policy of ex-1 panslon. The president , this correspondent - ; ent says , nt llrst would greatly have preferred to draw out of the Philippine cntnt'glcment ns quietly as possible , an- ; ne.\lng substantially nothing In the way of territory , but requiring the cession merely of n coiling station , with enough land about it to provide properly for Us defense. Presently ills Ideas expanded , but It was not until Mr. McKlnley visited the west , according to this authority , that ho became convinced that a majority of the people wanted territorial expansion. The president's visit to the Omaha ex position , says the Post correspondent , ' and his participation In the various civic celebrations In the course of his journey , were carefully planned and timed so that he could test popular sentiment tov himself before the Philippine question came to n head at the Paris conference. "Tho whole program was a success. The president came back more fully con vinced than ever that the r'piesentations made to him by various public men and experienced campaigners were true and that the people of the west , the region which lie considered the danger-point In the Held of political warfare , were strongly la favor of a policy 6f 'getting all we can and keeping all we get. ' " It appears , therefore , that It was western influence that decided the presidential mind as to the desirability of retaining possession of all the Philippines and per haps determined the attitude that has been taken on fliat question by the American peace commissioners. It is certainly true that President Me-1 Klnley found a great deal of sentiment i n this section favorable to expansion. I It Is still strong here. Hut the president could hardly have overlooked the fact , \ f as suggested he was testing popular 'ecling , that there is also a large and in- ' telllgpnt sentiment In the west that Is opposed to expansion and we are In- i cllned to think It Is growing with a j clearer and better understanding of | what that policy means. It was quite miural that at first most western people should regard with favor the acqulsi- , tlon of territory which seemed to j iromlse so much for their Interests. | Thus on the Pacific coast the practically unanimous sentiment has been for ex pansion , but some Influential voices are now being raised there against It , for the reason that a careful study of the question has shown that the advantages i ire not likely to be so valuable as had | > een anticipated. So in the middle west t can safely be said that the expanslou- st sentiment Is not growing , but rather declining , as Intelligent , practical and conservative men come to see and understand the t ponslbllltles , the dif ficulties and the danger * Inevitable to he carrying out of the expansion policy , while the benefits to accrue , whatever they may be , are by no means assured. While , therefore , the president found the expansion sentiment In the west the nore demonstrative , the opposition senti ment was still worthy of his considera tion and should not have been altogether without Influence with him. It is grounded , at least , upon the traditional policy of the republic and therefore merits the respectful consideration of every American statesman who has re gard for the precept and example of the founders of the government. FBH * CHAXCKS FOli AMKHICAXS. Americans have already been warned that there are few chances for them to make a livelihood by their labor in Ha waii. Now there Is like information from Porto Rico , the American consul having ; sent to the State department1 a warning to Americans that there are few If any opportunities for them in that island now. The labor market , he says , Is overstocked. Several hundred thou sand Porto Rlcans stand ready to take all places that may be vacated nnd nt low wages , and any American who goes there with the Idea of "striking It rich" Is sure to be disappointed. All who go should be prepared with money to pay their board and secure a return passage to the United States. There is no doubt as to the correct ness of this Information. Americans who have gone to Porto Rico have found few opportunities there either for worker or for the investment of capital. It ap pears that the Porto Rlcans , having an eye to business and realizing that a lxK > m would probably follow annexation , put the price of land up to sevml times Its real value and were careful to keep within their own hands almost every thing else that Americans might want. More thau a month ago n newspaper cor respondent who made a cntvfnl investi gation of conditions In the Island wrote that it was no place for people seeking work , while even for the capitalist and Investor the field was far from tin in viting one. The man who is looking for a Job , said this correspondent , should look for It at home. There Is absolutely nothing for the position hunter , for the clerk or for the workman. Merchants will find nothing to do there , except to glean a certain amount of Information of rather doubtful accuracy , until the question of tariff rates shall have been definitely settled. The entire trade of the island is of no very great magni tude , but tills is reasonably expected to Increase when business shall be adjustm1 to the new conditions. So far as Hawaii and Porto Rico arc concerned , It is already shown that tliej will afford no outlet for any class of American labor. Not only have they an abundant supply at present , but the fu ture needs will undoubtedly bo supplied from sources where labor Is cheaper than In this country. The same will bi the cast In the Philippines. Those Islands are also flooded with cheap labor , suited to the climate and no opportunity will be offered there for American labor , even If willing to accept the low wages paid. It may as well bo accepted , there , fore , that these new possessions cutf givr no possible benefit to American working men , but may In tlmo do ( hum no llttli Injury through the competition of choaii labor products. After the pacification 01 Cuba there may bo considerable employ , incut for American labor In developing that Island , but there Is nothing of con sequence to be looked for beyond this. As to the commercial benefits to be de rived from the new possessions , that Is a matter for the future to determine , but It may be doubted whether they will l 3 so great as the advocates of expan sion generally expect. As we have moro than once said , It Is quite easy to form extravagant Ideas regarding the com mercial advantages tliuso possessions will bring us. FIUVKKS. The stock In trade1 of the sham reform ers In the present campaign has been In figures by which they try to con vince the taxpayers of Nebraska that they have been Immensely benefited by popocratlc rule. 'Hut figures can be Juggled to prove most anything. For example. It Is claimed and proved by figures that there has been a marked Increase In the apportionment of state school funds for Douglas county under demo-pop rule , as compared with school fund apportionments under republican rule. The assertion Is made that the highest amount apportioned this county seml-annually under a republican ad ministration was SIM,01)8. ) ( 4 during the second half of 1S)2 ! ) , while the lowest amount apportioned Douglas county un der tlie demo-pop administration was during the first half of ISO" , amounting to ? ; ! 7-132.52 , or $ ' _ > ,73.SS ; ! more than the largest amount apportioned under a re publican administration. What do these figures prove ? Simply that there has been more money col lected from the taxpayers and lessee * of state school lands during the past two years since the advent of McKlnley and better times than was collected during the period preceding nnd following the business crash of 1803. It must also be borne In mind that the marked Increase in the apportion ment of state school funds within the past two years is largely due to mortgage foreclosures and changes of property ownership after years of liti gation. An enormous amount of delin quent taxes has been pnidjn In clear ing up the titles to property. Last but not least , the figures showing such a marked increase of apportionment to Douglas county are deceptive because they omit tlie principal factor of the Increased apportionment , which is the Increase in the number of school chil dren. While the data Is not at hand to make a statistical comparison It is safe to assert that the number of children of school ago in Douglas county has Increased more rapidly than the number In tlie farming sections of the state , espe cially In the western half. This popu lation Increase makes the showing for Douglas county more favorable than it would otherwise have been. In any event , however , there is notli- ng in the figures that jnstllles the demo- pop claim of more economical manage ment of the state's business any more than the payment of state warrants by Treasurer Mcserve is proof that the : > urdons 6t taxation have 6een lightened. It Is , easy to redeem warrants when tlie people are , prosperous and able to pay their taxes and it is easy to dis tribute school money when the taxpay ers arc prompt with both current and back taxes. The most creditable thing tlie colored people of Omaha can do for their race Is to reject Walker's candidacy for the legislature without regard to the fact that he Is a negro. If the colored people ple are willing to be represented by Walker witli his scandalous record as the Intimate associate of thieves and prostitutes , no decent colored man will ever feel Impelled to aspire to honorable olllce. By turning down Walker , the colored citizens will give notice that they require as high 'or higher qualifica tions from their own people as do the white citizens. As a representative business man Lovl Cox deserves the support of nil who want the business Interests of tills community properly looked after at Lin , coin next winter. Mr. Cox was elected to the legislature two years ago , but was unseated by the popocratlc majority In spite of his unquestionable title tt the position. Mr. Cox's majority ought this time to be irado so large that uoi even a populist legislature will dare tc steal his scat from him. , T. O.

A SiiKMPNtlve Incident. J. Sterllnc MortonV Conservative. One of the most forcible and sensible ad dresses delivered at the Auditorium during the Peace Jubilee at the exposition was that of the Chinese minister. No other man's oratory on that occasion elicited such uni versal and continuous applause as did that of the eminent Chinaman nt that particular moment when , with Impressive corneatncsa and eloquence , he declared that "the oldest nation" was for peace. Whether the vast audience appreciated the evident rebuke In tended by the heathen from Pekln to the surrounding glorification of wholesale mur der which the modern Christian nations sometimes call war , and at other times "hell , " remains an unsettled question.

"Mar ( tinique , Guadaloupo and Reunion , although they are of adult nge and long since should have no need of susldles , still receive mil lions a year. Algeria suffers from a deficit i of nearly 30,000,000 francs. There Is also a deficit In Senegal ; there Is another deficit In the Soudan. " According to M. Donnct's estimate , the cost of maintaining these colonies presents an annual aggregate of 100,000,000 francs. This docs not Include extraordinary expen ditures and there Is always a big deficit on the debit sldo of the colonial ledger. U Is worth noticing that , next to Eng land , Franco Is the most considerable col onial power In the world. Most of her ulrta- marlno possessions have been acquired since the eighteenth century , following the dis astrous conclusion of her struggle with England for East Indian and American ac quisitions. When the Napoleonic wars closed , her colonial possessions Wcro com paratively few , but- she has gradually In creased them nnd every subsequent Gov ernment , especially the third republic , has been active In this direction. Whether from lack of commercial ? nter- prlso on the part of the home population and the government In developing the col onial resources to the point of profitable re muneration , or on account of the natural ob- Bt.aclcs In the way.jof paying development presented by the colonies themselves , or by reason of a combination 'of both , these over sea possessions add nothing to the great ness of Franco and are a drain on Its rev enues. In the event of a war with England , that nation , by reason of her superior naval strength , could take from Franco nil of her colonies that she considered worta the taking. Should a general European war break out , these territorial dependencies would cause nn embarrassing strain 'upon the resources of the mother country. Colonial possessions , so long as they ylold all glory and no pay , nro never things of beauty or Joys forever to the taxpayers upon whose shoulders falls the hardship of furnishing the money to hold nnd maintain them.

Half of the Trans-Siberian railway Is completed and trains will bo running from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok , a distance ot 8.000 miles , by 1903. Building Is proceeding from both ends. From Vladivostok about 500 miles havu been built northward along the Ussurl river toward Khabarovkn on the Amoor river. At Iman , n new town ou the Ussurl , material Is transferred from the railway to steamers , which convey It to Khabarovkn , whence It la taken up the Amoor river 100 miles to the mouth of the Sungarl river. Entering the Sungarl the barges ascend that etreatn with their loads ot railway material COO miles to Chu- lanchcn , In Manchuria. Chulanchcn la a new railroad town of1,000 Inhabitants , nnd has a future since the branch line south ward to Port Arthur U to leave the main line at Chulanchen. At present It Is reached from Vladivostok by a long dolour north ward , but when the difficult section cast ot the town Is completed the connection wilt bo direct and comparatively short. Ilulld- Ing Is proceeding now eait and west from Chulanchen. Little , It seems , has been done on the branch line to Port Arthur. The climate of Siberia Is described ns "far less cold than the Klondike , " and the fertile soil "grows vast Areas of wheat as flno as the Manitoba grain , while Manchuria Is In a temperate zone and will soon bav her doors forced open , and the world will be Invited to como In and partake of the riches. " Work of fortifying llerehavcn , at the mouth of Bantry Bay , Ireland , has begun. It is the Intention of the British govern ment to erect works similar to those at Gibraltar by making use of the hills nnd cliffs. The nccesary land has been ac quired on the eastern sldo of Bero Island , and the contractors' engineers and workmen have already dug up nnd tunneled part ot the ground. Bero Island Is about scveti miles long , and In some parts nearly two miles wide. Along Ite center , lengthwise , n range of high hills Is conspicuous , nnd gives such protection to war ships lying In Bero- haven harbor that they could not bo shelled by nn enemy's fleet unless the latter cnmo within easy range of guns which might bo placed upon those hills. Berchaven harbor has two entrances around Bore Island by the western , which is rather narrow , battle ships enter and by the eastern they depart. It Is now proposed to block the former even against merchant vessels ; and the Intended fortifications will make the eastern sldn Im pregnable. It will be recalled that the Channel squadron during maneuvers has frequently utilized Berchaven for torpedo practice. The importance of the site , lying as It does on the direct route of English food supplies from Canada and the United States , Is very great. It Is expected that the fortifications will be completed In ten years' time. * The Italian statute called the Law of Guarantee , promulgated In Italy after the taking of Rome , In 1870 , by the troops ot Victor Emmanuel and the unification procla mation , assigned to the pope a civil list of 3,200,000 lire ( about $640,000) ) annually from the Italian Budget as a compensation for his loss of temporal power In the peninsula. N'elthcr Plus IX nor Leo XIII has accepted one soldi of the money and lately there has been much Inquiry In Rome as to what has become of It and the accumulated Interest. The Italian government recently found it necessary to Inspire a ntatement concernIng - Ing the subject In La Trlbuna dl Roma. An account of the money Is kept In the great book of the public debt of Italy and accordIng - Ing to the minister of the treasury the prin cipal and Interest accumulating from Jan uary 1 , 1871 , to October 1 , 1S98 , amounted to G0.3G9.000 lire. But the Oaservatore Romano , the Vatican organ , asserts that the sum Is not made up by computing the prescribed Interest , which would bring the amount duo the Holy See In the presem year to over 70,000,000 lire. It Is the consensus of opin ion , however , that as there seemed to bo no probability of the Vatican ever claiming Its own , the money wns almost from the begin ning diverted by the government nnd that the civil list of the Holy Father has no more material exlstcuce than the pen marks on the books of the minister of the treasury. * The growth of Egypt under British guid ance Is an Interesting spectacle. How many Inhabitants the Egypt of the Pharaohs had Is problematic , but It Is doubtful If It had more than the Egypt of the Ptolcmys , and that was not more than 8,000,000. A couple of centuries ago , under the Mamelukes , the number had fallen to 3,000,000. Under Mo- hemct All end his successors there was some Improvement and the census roll of 1875 was Increased'to 0,000,000 , at which fig ure , or a little less. It stood In 1882. Now , after scarcely sixteen years of British rule , the population Is about 10,000,000. That means an Increase of 66 per cent In sixteen years , or more than 4 per cent a year. It means that Egypt today , Egypt proper , not counting the vast realms of Equatorla and the BahrlOhazol , Is moro populous than ever before In all Its history. That In Itself Is a singularly Impressive and sig nificant fact. In industries the growth of Egypt Is comparably great. The country Is 1 not the granary of Europe , as It once was. ' Other lands have usurped the place. But If we measure 'Its ' grain , its fruits , its cot- I I ton and all its products we shall find It ' Is wielding far moro than It did even In the fat years of Joseph.

Neither physically , morally , nor politically , can ho be acclimatized In the tropics. " Hut he Is equally positive that the natives can never bo trusted to govern them- uelves , co to acquire such possessions as the Philippines , for Instance , would place upon the Anglo-Saxon clement the re sponsibility of their administration without the power to Introduce the Anglo-Saxon leaven as n developing force. If wo take the Philippines , therefore- , there Is only one thing left for us.

Milwaukee Journal. Milwaukee and Wisconsin are not to be bluffed. There Is no question but beer should bo used to celebrate the launching of our battleship. The origin of the human race wns necessarily In the warmer cli mates of the world. The race gained Its earlier civilization , as It spread toward the colder climates , In the grape-growing belts. There It clung for centuries till It had bullded up customs and fastened them down In literature. At least from the time of Noah the grape has been the symbol of plenty and Its fermented juice of Joy nnd health. That Idea has corao to us from these old times nnd conditions ; It Is effete and worn out. The nations of the world are no longer wine drinkers. Its use In ceremonies has departed except In certain religious rites , where- has come about that the unfermented - fermented Julco Is largely used , and In jonvivlnl sociabilities where It has become jdlous to n largo part of the civilized world is typifying Inebriety. Bacchus still holds to wine. The sturdy , active , progressive racea are now beer drinkers. Barley haa replaced the ; rape , not only from climatic and economic ondltlons , but for sanitary reasons. In England , the bonny ancestral homo of our : nstltutlons , ale has gone Into literature as ' .vino did In the Greek , and stands for all ood-fellowehlp , comfort and hope. In Ger- nany , the home of our Teuton ancestry , ths homo of the brew , beer Is a dear to the people as It Is dignified In their story and 'ong. From these two peoples wo have a joncurrent testimony In favor of beer as the drink of the gods. Let the grape treaders of the southlands boast of wine ; wo will none of It. It Is delusive , creeping In on the senses and stealing away with our sense of proportions and relations , leaving us In in Ideal renlm far from reality. Beer com- 'orts nnd leaves our senses still on guard. Who would displace for the beverage of the warm weather weaklings of the foreign lands along the Mediterranean ? Beer Is our very own ; shall It bo dishonored In Its homo ? No , air ; the Wisconsin , our one dear battle ship , must feel on Its proiul prow tha In * \ Bplrntton of the two greatest peoples of thi f world.

Your chance to register. Do not neglect it. Two years of sustained reform ought to tell quite a story of stillness for the voters of Nebraska. Registration is equally as important as voting, because the man who neglects to register will not be permitted to vote. Roosevelt is proving as persistent a campaigner in New York as he did in Cuba and his courageous work deserves the same measure of success. Only half the voters of Omaha and South Omaha are registered so far. The registrars should be kept busy today until the very closing hour of registration. The railroads are again wrestling with the pass agreement question and they will soon announce that they will be more strict than ever in the distribution of free passes for the coming year. But their preaching and practice will be as far apart as always. Of course, the Democratic embezzlers did not get away with as much public money in Nebraska as the Republican embezzlers, but that was not their fault. Considering the circumstances and opportunities the Democratic officials have made a good start in the defaulter line. Having saved the state more money than they handled since their incumbency in office, the Democratic statehouse gang are now desperately trying to save themselves. Saving money for the taxpayers is not half the incentive to their campaign that is saving salaries for themselves. People who remember the protracted peace negotiations that grew out of the last war between Greece and Turkey will have no trouble understanding the delays that are encountered by the peace commission at Paris. Rome was not built in a day and neither is an important treaty of peace. The editor of a German paper with a Latin name has gotten into trouble over the publication of a poem reflecting upon the emperor's pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The editor will doubtless now have the inspiration to stick to I. P. Mellon texts when the poetic must again seize him. Remember that three candidates of the Democratic legislative ticket voted in the last legislature for the ousting of men lawfully elected and thus deprived the people of Douglas county of the representation to which they were entitled. The people of this county cannot afford to endorse fraud. In France, the ministry waits until after it is chosen before making public its declaration of intentions and legislative program. In the United States, the declaration of principles comes in the shape of the party platform enunciated before the people pass on the claims of opposing candidates. The Republican nominee for county attorney, Phil K. Winter, is by reason of his experience as deputy under County Attorney Hadrick thoroughly familiar with the duties of the office to which he aspires. By electing him, the people of the county will avoid all experiments with the important business of the county attorney's office. Poynter is not the only Democratic candidate who is trying to play both sides of the game by working prohibitionists and saloonkeepers at one and the same time. The Democratic candidates for congress in the First and Second districts are each trying the same racket with the same result of shaking the confidence of all parties. The people have no use for straddlers, no matter what their political professions. WHAT WESTERN INFLUENCE MEANS. According to the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post, western influence is very largely responsible for inclining President McKinley in favor of the policy of expansion. The president, this correspondent says, at first would have greatly preferred to draw out of the Philippine settlement as quietly as possible, leaving substantially nothing in the way of territory, but requiring the cession merely of a coaling station, with enough land about it to provide properly for its defense. Presently, his ideas expanded, but it was not until Mr. McKinley visited the west, according to this authority, that he became convinced that a majority of the people wanted territorial expansion. The president's visit to the Omaha exposition, says the Post correspondent, and his participation in the various civic celebrations in the course of his journey, were carefully planned and timed so that he could test popular sentiment toward himself before the Philippine question came to a head at the Paris conference. "The whole program was a success. The president came back more fully convinced than ever that the representations made to him by various public men and experienced campaigners were true and that the people of the west, the region which he considered the danger-point in the field of political warfare, were strongly in favor of a policy of 'getting all we can and keeping all we get.'" It appears, therefore, that it was western influence that decided the presidential mind as to the desirability of retaining possession of all the Philippines and perhaps determined the attitude that has been taken on that question by the American peace commissioners. It is certainly true that President McKinley found a great deal of sentiment in this section favorable to expansion. It is still strong here. But the president could hardly have overlooked the fact, if as suggested he was testing popular sentiment, that there is also a large and intelligent sentiment in the west that is opposed to expansion and we are inclined to think it is growing with a clearer and better understanding of what that policy means. It was quite natural that at first most western people should regard with favor the acquisition of territory which seemed to promise so much for their interests. Thus on the Pacific coast the practically unanimous sentiment has been for expansion, but some influential voices are now being raised there against it, for the reason that a careful study of the question has shown that the advantages are not likely to be so valuable as had been anticipated. So in the middle west it can safely be said that the expansion sentiment is not growing, but rather declining, as intelligent, practical, and conservative men come to see and understand the responsibilities, the difficulties, and the dangers inevitable to the carrying out of the expansion policy, while the benefits to accrue, whatever they may be, are by no means assured. While, therefore, the president found the expansion sentiment in the West the more demonstrative, the opposition sentiment was still worthy of his consideration and should not have been altogether without influence with him. It is grounded, at least, upon the traditional policy of the republic and therefore merits the respectful consideration of every American statesman who has regard for the precept and example of the founders of the government. AMERICANS have already been warned that there are few chances for them to make a livelihood by their labor in Hawaii. Now there is like information from Porto Rico, the American consul having sent to the State department a warning to Americans that there are few, if any, opportunities for them in that island now. The labor market, he says, is overstocked. Several hundred thousand Porto Ricans stand ready to take all places that may be vacated and at low wages, and any American who goes there with the idea of "striking it rich" is sure to be disappointed. All who go should be prepared with money to pay their board and secure a return passage to the United States. There is no doubt as to the correctness of this information. Americans who have gone to Porto Rico have found few opportunities there either for worker or for the investment of capital. It appears that the Porto Ricans, having an eye to business and realizing that a reform would probably follow annexation, put the price of land up to several times its real value and were careful to keep within their own hands almost everything else that Americans might want. More than a month ago, a newspaper correspondent who made a careful investigation of conditions in the Island wrote that it was no place for people seeking work, while even for the capitalist and investor the field was far from the inviting one. The man who is looking for a job, said this correspondent, should look for it at home. There is absolutely nothing for the position hunter, for the clerk or for the workman. Merchants will find nothing to do there, except to glean a certain amount of information of rather doubtful accuracy, until the question of tariff rates shall have been definitely settled. The entire trade of the island is of no very great magnitude, but this is reasonably expected to increase when business shall be adjusted to the new conditions. So far as Hawaii and Porto Rico are concerned, it is already shown that they will afford no outlet for any class of American labor. Not only have they an abundant supply at present, but the future needs will undoubtedly be supplied from sources where labor is cheaper than in this country. The same will be the case in the Philippines. Those Islands are also flooded with cheap labor, suited to the climate, and no opportunity will be offered there for American labor, even if willing to accept the low wages paid. It may as well be accepted, therefore, that these new possessions give no possible benefit to American working men, but may in time do them no little injury through the competition of cheaper labor products. After the pacification of Cuba, there may be considerable employment for American labor in developing that Island, but there is nothing of consequence to be looked for beyond this. As to the commercial benefits to be derived from the new possessions, that is a matter for the future to determine, but it may be doubted whether they will be so great as the advocates of expansion generally expect. As we have more than once said, it is quite easy to form extravagant ideas regarding the commercial advantages these possessions will bring us. The stock in trade of the sham reformers in the present campaign has been in figures by which they try to convince the taxpayers of Nebraska that they have been immensely benefited by populistic rule. But figures can be juggled to prove most anything. For example, it is claimed and proved by figures that there has been a marked increase in the apportionment of state school funds for Douglas county under democractic rule, as compared with school fund apportionments under republican rule. The assertion is made that the highest amount apportioned this county seminary was $51,018 during the second half of 1892, while the lowest amount apportioned Douglas county under the democractic administration was during the first half of 1893, amounting to $7,132.52, or $43,885.48 more than the largest amount apportioned under a republican administration. What do these figures prove? Simply that there has been more money collected from the taxpayers and lessees of state school lands during the past two years since the advent of McKinley and better times than was collected during the period preceding and following the business crash of 1893. It must also be borne in mind that the marked increase in the apportionment of state school funds within the past two years is largely due to mortgage foreclosures and changes of property ownership after years of litigation. An enormous amount of delinquent taxes has been paid in clearing up the titles to property. Last but not least, the figures showing such a marked increase of apportionment to Douglas county are deceptive because they omit the principal factor of the increased apportionment, which is the increase in the number of school children. While the data is not at hand to make a statistical comparison, it is safe to assert that the number of children of school age in Douglas county has increased more rapidly than the number in the farming sections of the state, especially in the western half. This population increase makes the showing for Douglas county more favorable than it would otherwise have been. In any event, however, there is nothing in the figures that justifies the democractic claim of more economical management of the state's business any more than the payment of state warrants by Treasurer MerServe is proof that the burdens of taxation have been lightened. It is easy to redeem warrants when the people are prosperous and able to pay their taxes, and it is easy to distribute school money when the taxpayers are prompt with both current and back taxes. The most creditable thing the colored people of Omaha can do for their race is to reject Walker's candidacy for the legislature without regard to the fact that he is a negro. If the colored people are willing to be represented by Walker with his scandalous record as the intimate associate of thieves and prostitutes, no decent colored man will ever feel impelled to aspire to honorable office. By turning down Walker, the colored citizens will give notice that they require as high, if higher qualifications from their own people as do the white citizens. As a representative business man, Lowell Cox deserves the support of all who want the business interests of this community properly looked after at Lincoln next winter. Mr. Cox was elected to the legislature two years ago, but was unseated by the populistic majority in spite of his unquestionable title to the position. Mr. Cox's majority ought to be made so large that no even a populistic legislature will dare to steal his seat from him. T. O. Detweller, on the republican legislative ticket, is a young attorney of excellent reputation who stands well among his associates. Although he has never served in any public office, he has demonstrated good judgment and common sense so requisite for legislative business, and his election promises faithful and efficient representation of his constituents. Reputable laboring men repudiate the pretensions of Joe Koutsky to represent labor. They want nothing to do with bar room toughs like Koutsky, who has figured repeatedly in the criminal courts and whose concern for the tellers has been to get their patronage for his saloon and gambling dive. There Are Other New. Philadelphia Record. The Cuban Insurgents will not disband and they will not work. They are very like the political guerrillas who infest Pennsylvania. They insist that they shall be furnished with official positions. An Economic Theory, Springfield Republican. Denver is said to be hot for expansion, yet the Colorado regiment in the Philippines has telegraphed to the governor of the state that 1,000 Colorado volunteers desire "earnestly" to be recalled because the "ration is insufficient and 15 percent of the men are sick." Curing "Patriots" have their Price New York Mail and Express. If there were enough civil offices in Cuba to provide one for each member of the Cuban Insurgent army, the latter would probably put down their weapons and go back to civil life in short order. At present, however, the average Cuban seems resolved to hold onto his machete until he gets hold of something better. Sample of "Patriot" Bullying. New York Commercial. All there is in this yellow rubbish about Abner McKinley is that certain strikers pretended to use his influence to convince contractors whose bids were rejected. It is an old trick as old as knavery on one side and folly on the other. It is probable that Abner McKinley knows nothing of the merchandise made of his pretended influence. It is certain that he had no real influence to sell. These contracts were let in open market by an army officer whose reputation is proof against disappointed bribers, defeated strikers, and yellow journals. Canadian Insurance Buffalo Express. The insurance companies doing a life business in Canada have agreed not to accept risks on the lives of married women, unless they happen to be breadwinners, or, in other words, wholly independent of their husbands. The decision is said to be with a view to lessening the crime of murder for insurance. Can the crime really be so prevalent as this? Power of the President's Tour Philadelphia Ledger. The president's western tour is said to have converted him to the doctrine of expansion, and convinced him that the great body of the American people demands the retention, rather than the acquisition, of all the Philippines. If this is what the people want, this is what must be done, but is the president quite sure that the great majority of the American people reside in the central portion of the Mississippi valley? A Significant Incident J. Sterling Morton's Conservative. One of the most forcible and sensible addresses delivered at the Auditorium during the Peace Jubilee at the exposition was that of the Chinese minister. No other man's oratory on that occasion elicited such universal and continuous applause as did that of the eminent Chinaman at that particular moment when, with impressive composure and eloquence, he declared that "the oldest nation" was for peace. Whether the vast audience appreciated the evident rebuke intended by the heathen from Peking to the surrounding glorification of wholesale murder which the modern Christian nations sometimes call war, and at other times "hell," remains an unsettled question. THE CHANCE FOR COMMERCE. "All Glory and No Pay" (the Fruit of the Policy. St. Louis Republic. The Fashoda Incident supplies the distinguished French writer, M. Gaston Debonnet, with a text for criticizing the craze of his nation for colonies. "Our oldest colonies have not yet reached the point of self-support," he says. "Martinique, Guadeloupe and Reunion, although of adult age and long since should have no need of subsidies, still receive millions a year. Algeria suffers from a deficit of nearly 30,000,000 francs. There is also a deficit in Senegal; there is another deficit in the Soudan." According to M. Debonnet's estimate, the cost of maintaining these colonies presents an annual aggregate of 100,000,000 francs. This does not include extraordinary expenditures and there is always a big deficit on the debit side of the colonial ledger. It is worth noticing that, next to England, France is the most considerable colonial power in the world. Most of her extra-maritime possessions have been acquired since the eighteenth century, following the disastrous conclusion of her struggle with England for East Indian and American acquisitions. When the Napoleonic wars closed, her colonial possessions were comparatively few, but she has gradually increased them and every subsequent government, especially the third republic, has been active in this direction. Whether from lack of commercial enterprise on the part of the home population and the government in developing the colonial resources to the point of profitable remuneration, or on account of the natural obstacles in the way of paying development presented by the colonies themselves, or by reason of a combination of both, these overseas possessions add nothing to the greatness of France and are a drain on its revenues. In the event of a war with England, that nation, by reason of her superior naval strength, could take from France all of her colonies that she considered worthy the taking. Should a general European war break out, these territorial dependencies would cause an embarrassing strain upon the resources of the mother country. Colonial possessions, so long as they yield all glory and no pay, are never things of beauty or joys forever to the taxpayers upon whose shoulders falls the hardship of furnishing the money to hold and maintain them. POMPTON DEPARTMENT. The average monthly cost of the police department of Greater New York is $1,024,515. Episcopal Bishop Whittaker of Philadelphia advises Pennsylvania republicans to vote for Dr. Swallow, the eighth commandment candidate. This year's campaign in Massachusetts is said to be the dullest in years. There isn't sufficient life in G. Fred Williams' party to kick up a disturbance at a meeting. The majority for prohibition in Canada dwindles down to 13,884, and only 22 percent of those entitled to vote cast their ballots in favor of it. The vote is regarded as a distinct defeat. Replying to the charge that New York is "wide open" under Tammany rule, Dick Croker says there are no Seely dinners. But there are nightly banquets which are pronounced equal to Nero's Roman efforts brought up to date. W. J. Dalley, republican candidate for congressman-at-large in Kansas, is a hustler who deserves to win. Finding a circus at a town where he was booked for a talk, he hired the concern for the day and spouted between the acts, circumventing the enemy in great shape. The seventh annual convention of the American Republican College league, which was postponed last May on account of the war, will be held at Indianapolis on the 17th and 18th inst. All clubs expecting to send delegates are requested to notify President Arnold L. Davis, Hotel Denison, Indianapolis. The estimated cost of running all departments of Greater New York for the ensuing year foots up $93,520,082. There is a surplus of about $7,000,000 in the treasury, leaving the taxpayers to put up $86,500,000 (in round numbers). This sum is far in excess of the cost of maintaining the combined cities separately. Henry Ziegler, mayor of St. Louis, is a man of great force of character, who achieved distinction in business and politics without education. Speaking of his lack of education, he says: "I could hire plenty of men to write speeches for me, but I won't do it. What I say comes from the heart and I mean it. I don't have to pay money for fine words." The campaign has now reached that stage when the prophets of both parties get it their work. Notwithstanding the lessons of experience from the days of Ransom E. Cleveland, the campaign managers solemnly assure their followers that each has a clinch on victory. These predictions serve a useful purpose this year in lending a little gaiety to a funeral performance. One of the novel features of the campaign in New York is your Uncle Dick Croker in the role of spellbinder. The Tammany boss has not been very fluent of speech heretofore, but the desperation of his fight for control of the state broke through the mask of silence. His latest speech was delivered before an audience of deaf mutes and the audience acted very like the state democracy with reference to the Chicago platform. OTHER LANDS THAN OTS. Half of the Trans-Siberian railway is completed and trains will be running from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok, a distance of 8,000 miles, by 1903. Building is proceeding from both ends. From Vladivostok about 500 miles have been built northward along the Ussuri river toward Khabarovsk on the Amur river. At Iman, a new town on the Ussuri, material is transferred from the railway to steamers, which convey it to Khabarovsk, whence it is taken up the Amur river 100 miles to the mouth of the Sungari river. Entering the Sungari the barges ascend that stream with their loads of railway material 300 miles to Chulihchen, in Manchuria. Chulihchen is a new railroad town of 1,000 inhabitants, and has a future since the branch line southward to Port Arthur is to leave the main line at Chulihchen. At present it is reached from Vladivostok by a long detour northward, but when the difficult section east of the town is completed the connection will be direct and comparatively short. Building is proceeding now east and west from Chulihchen. Little, it seems, has been done on the branch line to Port Arthur. The climate of Siberia is described as "far less cold than the Klondike," and the fertile soil "grows vast areas of wheat as fine as the Manitoba grain," while Manchuria is in a temperate zone and will soon have her doors forced open, and the world will be invited to come in and partake of the riches." Work of fortifying Berehaven, at the mouth of Bantry Bay, Ireland, has begun. It is the intention of the British government to erect works similar to those at Gibraltar by making use of the hills and cliffs. The necessary land has been acquired on the eastern side of Bere Island, and the contractors' engineers and workmen have already dug up and tunneled part of the ground. Bere Island is about seven miles long, and in some parts nearly two miles wide. Along its center, lengthwise, a range of high hills is conspicuous, and gives such protection to warships lying in Berehaven harbor that they could not be shelled by an enemy's fleet unless the latter came within easy range of guns which might be placed upon those hills. Berehaven harbor has two entrances around Bere Island by the western, which is rather narrow, battle ships enter and by the eastern they depart. It is now proposed to block the former even against merchant vessels; and the intended fortifications will make the eastern side impregnable. It will be recalled that the Channel squadron during maneuvers has frequently utilized Berehaven for torpedo practice. The importance of the site, lying as it does on the direct route of English food supplies from Canada and the United States, is very great. It is expected that the fortifications will be completed in ten years' time. The Italian statute called the Law of Guarantee, promulgated in Italy after the taking of Rome, in 1870, by the troops of Victor Emmanuel and the unification proclamation, assigned to the pope a civil list of 3,200,000 lire (about $640,000) annually from the Italian Budget as a compensation for his loss of temporal power in the peninsula. Neither Pius IX nor Leo XIII has accepted one soldi of the money and lately there has been much inquiry in Rome as to what has become of it and the accumulated interest. The Italian government recently found it necessary to inspire a statement concerning the subject in La Tribuna di Roma. An account of the money is kept in the great book of the public debt of Italy and according to the minister of the treasury the principal and interest accumulating from January 1, 1871, to October 1, 1898, amounted to 60,369,000 lire. But the Observatore Romano, the Vatican organ, asserts that the sum is not made up by computing the prescribed interest, which would bring the amount due the Holy See in the present year to over 70,000,000 lire. It is the consensus of opinion, however, that as there seemed to be no probability of the Vatican ever claiming its own, the money was almost from the beginning diverted by the government and that the civil list of the Holy Father has no more material existence than the pen marks on the books of the minister of the treasury. The growth of Egypt under British guidance is an interesting spectacle. How many inhabitants the Egypt of the Pharaohs had is problematic, but it is doubtful if it had more than the Egypt of the Ptolemies, and that was not more than 8,000,000. A couple of centuries ago, under the Mamelukes, the number had fallen to 3,000,000. Under Mohammed Ali and his successors there was some improvement and the census roll of 1875 was increased to 5,000,000, at which figure, or a little less. It stood in 1882. Now, after scarcely sixteen years of British rule, the population is about 10,000,000. That means an increase of 66 percent in sixteen years, or more than 4 percent a year. It means that Egypt today, Egypt proper, not counting the vast realms of Equatoria and the Bahia Chaleur, is more populous than ever before in all its history. That in itself is a singularly impressive and significant fact. In industries the growth of Egypt is comparably great. The country is not the granary of Europe, as it once was. Other lands have usurped the place. But if we measure its grain, its fruits, its cotton and all its products we shall find it is wielding far more than it did even in the fat years of Joseph. It is not building pyramids and sphinxes and pharaohs. But the barrages of the Nile, one built and one building, are greater works than those. Nor may we overlook its railroads, of which it has today some 1,400 miles, or more than Spain or Portugal, or even Austria-Hungary. Twenty years ago there was scarcely a mile of good wagon road in all the land and travel and transportation had to be afoot or on muleback or camelback. In the last six years more than 1,000 miles of fine roads have been built. The wheat imported into Sweden has almost always been brought across the Baltic from Russia, but imports are decreasing, owing largely to the famine which is raging in many Russian provinces. It is no longer possible for the Russian government to remain silent in regard to the suffering which is going on in the provinces of Rostov, Samara, Saratov, Simbirsk, Ufa, Perm, Viatka, and Ryazan, where the famine is more severe than ever before. The local authorities are giving all the assistance possible. The government must come to their assistance, and it is thought that a Red Cross society will be organized to facilitate the distribution of help. Appeals have been sent out requesting contributions of food, money, and clothing. Sweden has never been any too friendly to Russia and it is doubtful if much assistance will be offered. The kingdom of Sweden is just now agitating the question whether or not to follow Norway's lead in granting universal suffrage. Out of a population of some 1,300,000 men over the age of 21, only about 300,000 have at present the right of suffrage. To vote in Sweden one must show that his yearly income is 600 crowns (about $120) and that he pays taxes on that income. The liberals are circulating petitions throughout the kingdom, to be presented to the Riksdag at its meeting this winter. Norway has just recently given universal male suffrage to the people, but in Sweden much opposition is expected from the party in power, protectionists and conservatives. The classes are being organized and the advantages which the United States is believed to have found in universal suffrage will have great force. DIAMONDS OF EXTRACTION. An Extraordinary and Formidable Protector for a Republic. Boston Transcript. Some Interesting Letters to the London Times by Mr. Nenjamin Kidd on the responsibility of the English-speaking race in tropical countries have been brought out in book form by a New York publisher. Mr. Kidd favors the adoption by the United States of the English colonial policy, but as he defines the conditions, that would place before us an extraordinary and formidable problem for a republic. He says: "The attempt to acclimatize the white man in the tropics must be recognized to be a blunder of the first magnitude. All experiments based upon the idea are mere idle and empty enterprises doomed to failure." Alike in a moral, in an ethical, and in a political sense, the atmosphere he breathes must be that of another region, that which produced him, and to which he belongs. Neither physically, morally, nor politically, can he be acclimatized in the tropics. "But he is equally positive that the natives cannot never be trusted to govern themselves, to acquire such possessions as the Philippines, for instance, would place upon the Anglo-Saxon element the responsibility of their administration without the power to introduce the Anglo-Saxon leaven as a developing force. If we take the Philippines, therefore, there is only one thing left for us. We must "exercise dominion over conquered islands, over vassal states, over subject races," and we are not to do this as a temporary expedient, but as a permanent policy, because the white man can never be acclimatized and the native can never learn to rule. A large annex to our constitution will be needed to fit this peculiar and never-before-contemplated situation. THE LANDING OF MILWAUKEE ON THE COMING CHRYSTAL. Milwaukee Journal. Milwaukee and Wisconsin are not to be bluffed. There is no question but that beer should be used to celebrate the launching of our battleship. The origin of the human race was necessarily in the warmer climates of the world. The race gained its earlier civilization, as it spread toward the colder climates, in the grape-growing belts. There it clung for centuries till it had built up customs and fastened them down in literature. At least from the time of Noah the grape has been the symbol of plenty and its fermented juice of joy and health. That idea has come to us from these old times and conditions; it is effete and worn out. The nations of the world are no longer wine drinkers. Its use in ceremonies has departed except in certain religious rites, where the unfermented juice is largely used, and in jollification sociabilities where it has become dangerous to a large part of the civilized world is typifying inebriety. Bacchus still holds to wine. The sturdy, active, progressive races are now beer drinkers. Barley has replaced the grape, not only from climatic and economic conditions, but for sanitary reasons. In England, the bonny ancestral home of our institutions, ale has gone into literature as wine did in the Greek, and stands for all good fellowship, comfort, and hope. In Germany, the home of our Teutonic ancestry, the home of the brew, beer is as dear to the people as it is dignified in their story and song. From these two peoples, we have a concurrent testimony in favor of beer as the drink of the gods. Let the grape treaders of the southlands boast of wine; we will none of it. It is delusive, creeping in on the senses and stealing away with our sense of proportions and relations, leaving us in an ideal realm far from reality. Beer comforts and leaves our senses still on guard. Who would displace for the beverage of the warm weather weaklings of the foreign lands along the Mediterranean? Beer is our very own; shall it be dishonored in its home? No, sir; the Wisconsin, our one dear battleship, must feel upon its proud prow the inspiration of the two greatest peoples of the world. It must represent the two eras of civilization which line moved from grape land to barley land. It must set a new standard of literature and a new gauge of battleship and strength. We have chosen the brew for, these many centuries, and eschewed the wine as the means of sociability among the people; shall we, then, at the late day, in our pride of strength, yet yield to an ancient and worn-out custom, founded and embalmed in literature by races long ago played out? No; Milwaukee will not be bluffed. She has been to the utmost; it is beer or no boot. CLAMOR FOR COINS. Deplored Condition of the Economy. J. Sterling Morton Conservative. Nothing could better illustrate the difference between the simulated democrats who are chained to the vices and vagaries of populism, and the real, genuine gold standard democrats than the difference between oleomargarine and real cream-evolved butter. The populists are pinchbeck statesmen, and the alleged democrats who follow them are oleomargarine democrats. They are as different from the steady-wright and thorough democrats of the gold stamp, as tallow and lard are from genuine Jersey butter. But oleomargarine, according to Holcolm's administration, is good enough for invalids who are the wards of the state; and oleomargarine democracy is good enough to furnish votes that secure all the offices to the populists. The sick will thrive on blind butter spiced with oleomargarine just as satisfactorily as democracy thrives when veneered with free coinage of silver at sixteen to one, and other financial and economic fallacies. Oleomargarine statesmanship is as good for the states of Nebraska as an oleomargarine diet is for the insane and other wards in the public institutions of this commonwealth. MILITIA IN DETROIT: Detroit Journal. "A husband who does just what she says. A woman doesn't want, one sees, for by such a husband she's constrained always to say just what she means." Cleveland Plain Dealer. "With all the flowers of manhood that are blooming over the mead, 'tis anger that little Wilhelmine should take up with a widower." Washington Star. "He figured hard. No rest was nigh. His task he dared not shirk. He figured on to show men why his burrows didn't work." Detroit Free Press. "The wind across my chimney wakes no depth of joy in me; for I know that its wild singing makes my coal bills bigger be." Indianapolis Journal. "He sang a song to her nut-brown hair, her rosy cheeks, her brow so fair; he praised her eyes, and said that there was warmth in them hidden; the maiden fixed him with a stare, and said: "Aw, mount your kidney beower!"" Detroit Journal. "No follower of her kindred, no reproach to me!" sang the love-stricken troubadour, heaving a sigh. While the maiden at her casement above shook her hand, and said: "Only a blooming old idiot! You'd live to learn from him you choose, that other fellow, and from his life couleur de rose, or sickly yellow, what mine has been, what I'd have done had you been kinder; tax the good parson made us one, and, oh, love, were I been blind." Sweetheart, 'twas but a while ago it seemed yesterday, Though now my locks are white as snow, and all your curls lie praying. When, walking in the twilight haze, stars smiled above, I whispered soft: "I love you," and you kissed me for that love! The first kiss, dear, and then your hand, your little hand so sweet, and whiter than the white, white sand that twinkled at your feet, Laid tenderly within my own! Have queens such lovely hands? No wonder that the whip-poor-wills made heaven the autumn lands! It seemed to me that my poor heart would burst to death and break, While all the world (Sweetheart, Sweetheart!) seemed singing for your sake! And every rose that barred the way In glad and dying grace, Forgot its faded summer days And, leaning, kissed your face! I envied all the roses then, and all the rosy ways That blossomed for your sake, are still my life's bright yesterdays. But thinking of that first sweet kiss, and that first clap of hands, Life's whip-poor-wills sing sweeter now Through all the autumn lands! TIME IS MONEY In the final settlement of the interests of the Henry W. King estate, in the business of Browning, King & Co., it becomes imperative that we dispose of our wholesale part of the business and the large stock manufactured for that branch of the business, in the shortest time possible. Time is money to us in this transaction and our necessity is to your immediate advantage. We have never sold finer winter clothing before at anything like the present prices and while the stock lasts a money-saving opportunity is presented to all our customers. Men's Suits from $7.50 to $20.00 Men's Overcoats from $10 to $25 Boys' Suits from $2.50 to $6.00 These goods are marked way below their true value, and we ask you in good faith not to neglect this chance.

DEFENDANTS ALL PLEAD NOT GUILTY rortlon of tlic Documentary Kvlrtencc IK Hiibnilttod niitl n Contliuiniico Taken Until Suturiliiy Mornlne to Seciiro u Tl'o contempt case against the conces sionaires of the Streets of All Nations , the directors of the exposition , Chief of Guards Llewellyn and General Counsel Montgomery , arising out of the suit of the Oriental Ex hibition company ( Streets of Cairo ) , came up for trial before Judge Scott yesterday morning. President Wattles wan arraigned and en tered the same plea as the others , not guilty. Mr. Bruce being sick , his name is left out of the present proceedings. For the defendants Attorney R. S. Hall requested the court to allow him to make a motion to quash the Information -without withdrawing their pleas , and Mr. Mont gomery made the same request for Mr. Wattles. The Judge ruled that such a motion could bo entertained only upon withdrawal of the pleaa unless otherwise Insisted upon as a matter of right. This being consented to under a supposed agree ment of itr. Hall two days previous the motion was formally made without any withdrawal of picas. It attacked the in formation on the grounds of Its filluro to show that the defendants had violated any order or Injunction of the court or to state a case against them ; also on the further ground that the court ua3 no Jurisdiction. "When this is overruled what will you Hie next ? " asked the Judge. "Demurrers for each of the defendants severally , " replied Mr. Hall , quietly. Accordingly demurrers \\cro entered for cnch and recorded , settling up practically the same grounds as the motion to quash , nnd like It , they were overruled without argu ment. Dociiinicntnry Hvlili'iu-c Offered. Mr. Mahoney for the informant then de manded that the pleaa of the defendants bo renewed , which was done , and the offering of evidence began. Such evidence apas of a documentary nature covering the incor poration of the exposition and other Inci dental matters was first submitted and John A. Wakedeld was put upon the stand by Mahoney to testify as secretary of the ex position company to the artlchc of Incor poration , etc. It wus then discovered that the most essential witnesses for the prose cution vvcro not present and an adjournment was taken until t ) o'clock Saturday morn- Ing. Ing.Tho The judge promised to gl\o Mr. Hall a day In which to examine the Information and properly prepare his case , but did not designate any day. Ho was not disposed to allow Mr , Hall Saturday , as that would glvo him Sunday also , notwithstanding the law does not recognize Sunday as poNfiaing the value of a legal working day. It depends upon how the t.ise drags on what day wllr bo allowed Mr. Hall , The court n marked that U Monday was given to him Tuesday would be election day , Intimating that then the defense would aluo ha\u the advantage of two days , Coiu-enKltiiiiilrrN net Avtny. Under the arrangement between the pro prietors of the Moorish village ami the ex position 20 per cent of its receipts was to bo tururd our to the exposition. Owing to ( ho lack of collectors the percentage for Saturday , Suuday and Monday was not col lected. According to A. B. Reed , the man ager , and S. B. Wailley , the superintendent of the Department of Concessions , the amount which the Moorish village Is delin quent Is $1,000. An attempt was therefore i made to hold the exhibit. Including also the I Cooper picture of "Trilby , " until the amount J duo was paid. Lincoln , the owner of the i picture , was on the Moorish village ! bond with Morris. But the attorney for gang of about twenty men nnd they forced their way through the gates nnd took for- clblo possession of the stuff of the Moorish village and also the picture , resisting the exposition guards to carry their point. As soon as the team left the grounds Mr. Reed and M. A. Hall got out an attachment for the picture The officer secured possession of four boxes. Strickler , however , says the picture Is not In either of the boxc-.i , hut la several hundreds of miles away from the city by this time. Judgment oil Replevin Iloiul. Judge Baker has awarded to D.

STATE STANDS BEHIND HIM Vote OutNldc of New York'i Metroiio- MN IM Helled On to meet Theodore NEW YORK , Nov. I. Chairman Odell of the republican state committee has given out the following statement : The campaign which Is to rapidly drawIng - I Ing to a close from every Indication points to a republican victory. The closing of , \ careful canvass of the up-state counties con vinces mo that a plurality large enough to more than meet and offset any possible plu rality that can be obtained In Greater New York by Tammany Hall Is assured. I nnd that the constant talk by Tammany hull leaders of their certainty of carrying the ftato has been pure bluff. There Is no possibility of their securing In the city of New York n plurality that would Insure the election of Van Wyck , and they arc now seeking with fake bets to b-Uter up what they know to bo n losing cause. Their hots the republicans arc calling , and we are met with the Information at their bett'nsr ' sta that there Is no more Van Wyck money In sight. On the contrary , I am in receipt of Information from hundreds of democrats within the city cf New York who propose to vote for Roe welt , nnd I believe that there Is a surprise in store for democrats as well as for republicans , only that the surprise for the republicans will bo In the nature cf a pleasing one. I claim the state of New York without any question for Roo'cvelt by at least -10.000. Ills magnificent canvass has awakened en thusiasm throughout the state , and his manly and courageous utterances and his reputation for honesty have brought to him the Independent voters. Richard Croker , In a statement to the public , says : "I am confident that Judge Van Wyck will be elected by a handsome plurality. He will have from 73,000 to SO 000 plurality In these two boroughs , and the rest of Greater New York will Increase the total to 100,000. " 'FRISCO ' PRESSMEN ON STRIKE Pniier * .

NAMES NOT YET ON TIIE LIST Quest of the Oainpaicm Committees Ha Become Very Vigorous. VOTERS WHO HAVE NOT REGISTERED I'rcNcnt IMnii Is < o Oet Out the Kill I g btreiiKtli of tlii : City It Hard Work and I'erxna- Hlon Can Do It. Unless the best efforts of the local cam paign committee con e to naught , the reg istration today will bo a record-breaker. Especially will this bo true if the weather shall at all bo favorable. All of the com mittees are bending every energy to get out n full registration , and with the aroused In- tcroat In the campaign since the close of the exposition , taken with the increased number of political meetings , there Is every reason to believe that the greater portion of the unregistered voters will bo brought out tomorrow. The local committees look for a big registration , the number being variously estimated from 5,000 to S.OOO for the day. If the registration shall reach the Utter num ber it will bring the total nearly up to that of two years ago. The republican committee has sent out nearly 100 men to work up Interest among these who have not registered and try to get them out. These men will be sent to every voting precinct in this city nnd South Omana , and each man Is furnished a list of the republicans in his territory who have not performed this essential adjunct to their franchise as American citizens. Ho Is ex pected to personally ( see each of the recalci trants , and urge upon him the Importance of having his name registered. In addition to this the committee has sent notices to all of these who have failed to register. The fusion committees are rikcwlso busy. The thico branches of the fusion agreement have each been furnished a llt of those who have registered , and this has been care fully checked up with the list of the follow ers of the respective divisions , and the un registered voter noted. The work of getting out this unregistered vote has been divided among the three sections. The democrats furnish about two-thirds of the workers In this line , and the populists the other third , while the task of looking after the delin quent sliver republicans will bo atsuraed by these two parties. Particular attention will bo paid to South Omaba , as there IB where the fuslonlsts expect their big vote. ADDItr.S'i TO lUJl'l'IJMl-AX VOTUIIS. Cliiilriiiiin of City llejmlillenii rom- nilllrc I rirH I'arm-xt Work. A. C. Troup , chairman of the republican rlty central committee , has Issued the fol lowing address to the voters of the city of Omaha In behalf of the republican can didates for the school board- To the Parents and Voters of the City of Omaha : Tha officers to be elected upou t > n city ticket at ihe election to be held on the ' th day cf November next h , this year , con fined simply to five members of the Board of Education. At the republican city convention , held October 15. 1898 , that body , after u mosi careful nnd earnest Investigation Into their morlts , placed In nomination for those oiuc s the following named gentlemen and earnestly recommended them to the voters of this city. Charles B. Black , Arthur M. , Ciwle , Charles S. Hnyward , George G. Irey , Frederick F. Teal , all of whom are men ol educational attalnn cnts and cf splendid practical business qualillcntlonu , Probably at no tlmo In the history ol Omaha have there queathns arltvn concern ing our public school affairs of greater Im portance than tho3u whlt.h are likely toarlst during the next one or two years. Not only may theio be occasion nlthlr ( ho time stated to cieato Important changes n tha present system of our graded schools , nit plans and measures arc also likely soon o be adopted Iroklng to sxmio radical oltera- lon of our present High echool system. This school board also has the expenditure ud disbursement of a largo amount of nonoy annually , already reaching nearly. If lot more than , $300,000 yearly , and the sum s likely to bo much greater within the near future. It Is apparent therefore that every voter , very tax nycr and every pation of the mbllc schools has n direct Interest in seeing -hat such men are chosen to these olllces \ho will not only act wisely and well In the adoption or rejection of anticipated In novations , but who will administer the whole of our public school affairs with that strict honesty and fidelity which we have a right o expect from faithful servants. Such dove vo recommend the above named gentlemen I to bo nnd wa believe that no one who has I any Interest In our public schools can afford to fall or ucglect to vote for thcaa men. Under our laws every woman who haa re- Idcd in the city forty days and is 21 years old and who owns real property In the citv I or personal property that was assessed In the city In her nnrnn nt the last annual as sessment ; or who has children of school ago esldlng In the city Is als.o entitled to vote for school officers , nnd no previous registra tion Is required for this purpose. It Is expected and urged that the women of the city shall take a lively Interest In this matter and not only vote themselves but see that these among their friends whoi perhaps may have less Interest In this mat ter than themselves shall aLe vole and vote right on till * question. i If every one but docs bis duty In tl > ' ' garu theaa guitlemen above named will bo' ' triumphantly elected nnd the administration of our public schoal affairs will be placed Into honest and competent hands. I CITV PIlUIMKUb roil UM3CTIOX. I Number of iNNiien I'reNcnlcd Will lie Comparatively Few. City Clerk Hlgby nnd Secretary Glllan or the Board of Education are busily engaged In preparing the poll books and other neces. - nry supplies for the city's end of the coming - ing election. Euch department has n sepa rate set of books and boxes for the ballots , but this year neither Is very extensive , us the Board of Education has only five can didates , together with the High school bond proposition , while the city proper Is only Interested In the single proposition of whether or not sewer and paving bonds shall bo voted. The arrangements for the distribution of the election supplies will bo practically the name as In past years. On the morning ot election day the supplies will be all ready and-wagons will be prepared to carry them to the booths. It is expected that every booth will be supplied nt some tlmo between 7.15 and 7:30 : , BO that everything can be ready for the opening of booths to voters ut 8 o'clock.

RESPECT AMERICAN ORDER FOR PEACE Condition of Utter WrctcliedneMH and Heroic llcNu'iatloii ( Iteported to War Department and Situation Will He Looked Into. WASHINGTON , Nov. 4. Tim following fetter from Lieutenant Colonel Carbonne of the Cuban army , now at Havana , has been received by Secretary Quesada of the Cuban delegation hero , who has I'ald It before Sec- retaiy Alger , with an urgent request that steps bo taken to relieve the extreme dis tress it sets forth. Lieutenant Colonel Car- benne is the Inventor of the explosive known as carbonltc , and is regarded as the repre sentative at Havana of the Cuban leaden ) and forces in the field. He writes as fol lows , the letter bearing date , Havana , Octo ber 23 ; I am Just back from the camp cf General Mciiocal , chief of our army In this prov ince , nnd let mo tell you in some faint way the true state of our poor and suffering army and the consequences that may come to the country If we do not find In a short tlmo a remedy which will save us. The Cuban army Is dying of hunger. Such terrible words in no way exaggerate the actual conditions. General Menocal took me to sea his weak , tottorlng and squalid soldiers , made BO on account of the want of food and of the actual necessaries of life ; and to think that these men were In such a state by reason of obejlng their chiefs , who desire flr t of all to respect the ciders of the American government. The Cuban lead ers In camp told mo to tell you that they will maintain resignation and patlctae , and above all , faith in the American government nnd the worthy president , Mr McKlrloy , hut , ct the sirao tlmo , let It bo understood that wo nro hungry , thnt we hnvo In the towiu nnd fields of Cuba all that Is needed In the way of food , but that wo arc forbidden to touch It by reason of the peace order They do not get Horn Havana one-fourth of what they need and our nol Hers are dying nt the gates of the city for lack of food. What shall wo do ? The tlmo will comu when wo cannot bear it any 1 ngcr , nnd then what will be the icsult ? I rctuined dlscon- M > late to Havana ami tried to git succor , but the people me already so pi or that I obtained nothing. We went to the American commlERlon , which received us very well nnd offered im much , but up to the present tlmo It has given us nothing. If by mis fortune wo arc driven by the necessities of our army to get by force what we need , so ns not to dlo of hunger , will the people nf the United Stales condemn ut' , or will the nations of the world , which do not know what IB happening , Judgn us unworthy cf the sympathy of the American people ? \Vo wcro very happy to hear your assurances ns to our republic. We have never doubted the g-xxl faith and generosity of the United States. To it wo owe the complete liberty which wo have been unable In many years to establish by ourselves. Secretary Alger said that ho would look Into the matter and telegraph the commis- blon at Havana such Instructions as wore appropriate to the case. IMA.M I'HOIII.KMS.

The Judge ruled that such a motion could be entertained only upon withdrawal of the pleas unless otherwise Insisted upon as a matter of right. This being consented to under a supposed agreement of Mr. Hall two days previous the motion was formally made without any withdrawal of pleas. It attacked the information on the grounds of its failure to show that the defendants had violated any order or injunction of the court or to state a case against them; also on the further ground that the court had no jurisdiction. "When this is overruled what will you do next? " asked the Judge. "Demurrers for each of the defendants severally," replied Mr. Hall, quietly. Accordingly demurrers were entered for each and recorded, settling up practically the same grounds as the motion to quash, and like it, they were overruled without argument. Documentary Evidences Offered. Mr. Mahoney for the informant then demanded that the pleas of the defendants be renewed, which was done, and the offering of evidence began. Such evidence appears of a documentary nature covering the incorporation of the exposition and other incidental matters was first submitted and John A. Wakedeld was put upon the stand by Mahoney to testify as secretary of the exposition company to the articles of Incorporation, etc. It was then discovered that the most essential witnesses for the prosecution were not present and an adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock Saturday morning. The judge promised to give Mr. Hall a day in which to examine the Information and properly prepare his case, but did not designate any day. He was not disposed to allow Mr. Hall Saturday, as that would give him Sunday also, notwithstanding the law does not recognize Sunday as possessing the value of a legal working day. It depends upon how the case drags on which day will be allowed Mr. Hall. The court marked that if Monday was given to him Tuesday would be election day, intimating that then the defense would also have the advantage of two days. Continuances were allowed. Under the arrangement between the proprietors of the Moorish village and the exposition 20 percent of its receipts was to be turned over to the exposition. Owing to the lack of collectors the percentage for Saturday, Sunday and Monday was not collected. According to A. B. Reed, the manager, and S. B. Waikley, the superintendent of the Department of Concessions, the amount which the Moorish village is delinquent is $1,000. An attempt was therefore made to hold the exhibit, including also the Cooper picture of "Trilby," until the amount due was paid. Lincoln, the owner of the picture, was on the Moorish village bond with Morris. But the attorney for a gang of about twenty men and they forced their way through the gates and took forcible possession of the stuff of the Moorish village and also the picture, resisting the exposition guards to carry their point. As soon as the team left the grounds Mr. Reed and M. A. Hall got out an attachment for the picture. The officer secured possession of four boxes. Strickler, however, says the picture is not in either of the boxes, but is several hundreds of miles away from the city by this time. Judgment on Replevin Bond. Judge Baker has awarded to D. M. Steel & Co., a Judgment for $5,736.60 against Walter L. Selby on a replevin bond, growing out of the failure of the Hatzel grocery, Twenty-fourth and Cummings streets, August, 1892. Frank J. Hatzel brought a replevin suit against Sheriff Bennett. The court finds that the service by Bennett's executrix was proper and all the other acts of the sheriff's office regular. Selby was on Hatzel's bond. There has been a great deal of litigation over this case. Omaha lodge, No. 2, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, has begun a suit against the county to contest the taxes on the Odd Fellows' block for 1895, 1890, and 1897, because of the character of the premises and the further reason that the taxes for 1894 and 1897 were excessive. The case of George Bailey, charged with criminal assault on Clara Blue, a 16-year-old girl, is on trial before Judge Slabaugh. The defense is that the girl was formerly unchaste, to the knowledge of the prisoner. Judge Keysor has allowed Job Goldfield a judgment by default against Samuel Bros, amounting to $12,757.70. David E. sues Maria Burnett for divorce on the ground of cruelty, he charges that she threatened to stab him with a potato knife. They were married in Pottawattamie County in 1893. William Kelley of Garrow, Kelley & Co., South Omaha, obtained a restraining order yesterday from Judge Scott against the South Omaha Live Stock exchange and John G. Sullivan from transferring his membership in the exchange to John Blair. In his petition, he represented that he had paid $70 to Sullivan on a promissory note owed by John T. Blair to Sullivan, which he had endorsed, this payment being according to an arrangement entered into with Sullivan, but that Sullivan subsequently obtained all execution and levied upon his block in the exchange, valued at $500, and bid it in for $23, proposing now to turn it over to Ralston. Judge Scott set the hearing for November 12, at 9 a.m. Judge Fawcett granted several divorces yesterday afternoon. They were Carrie L. against Ralph Rodick, for cruelty and drunkenness; Tillie against William A. Clark, for non-support; Sallie Havens Bell against William J. Bell, for non-support; Rosa against William N. Smith, for non-support, and Oscar against Selma Peterson, for infidelity. Judge Scott granted a divorce in the South Omaha case of Mary R. against James P. Hayes, on the grounds of cruelty and drunkenness. The defendant is restrained from interfering with her property or his. It was alleged that he had not obeyed the judge's order and a contempt proceeding was threatened by the court. Suit for divorce has been commenced by Amanda against Charles P. Davis for infidelity, non-support, and desertion, residing in South Omaha, where she says they own a homestead and several lots. These are the identical suits that would sell for $10 and $12.50 if bought in the regular way. They come in single and double-breasted suits, straight and round cut, all thoroughly well trimmed, made and perfect fitting. The fabrics are smooth finished cassimere, fancy worsted, and solid clay worsted and fancy mixed cheviots. There are 50 different styles in this lot. They are positively all wool, sewed with best silk, best Italian. No matter whether you need cloth or double warp serge linen now or not, the price of best of tailoring throughout is such an inducement ($10.00 made to and $12.50 suits for So. 98) that you simply do yourself an injustice in failing to buy one at such a bargain. The Finest Men's Tailor-Made Suits in all the newest import of novelties in fine worsteds, vicunas, and boucles, lined throughout with bold stripes of Steinmetz's linen, made up in suits and frocks in the most elegant materials, of tailoring, every part perfect in its way. Amanda asks for alimony and the custody of a 14-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl. Transcripts on appeal in the Anthony J. Drexel estate case decided by County Judge Baxter in favor of the heirs have been filed with the clerk of the district court. The three judgments, including interest at 6 percent from January 1, 1894, make a total of $1,206,143.72, as follows: In favor of Abraham L. Reed, $88,711.50; in favor of the Rochester Bank and Banking company, $5,715.94; in favor of Julia A. Perkins, William Wallace, and N.S. Hall, as trustees for Mary E. Reed, $88,714.82. STATE STANDS BEHIND HIM Vote OutSide of New York's Metropolis Theodore Roosevelt NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Chairman Odell of the republican state committee has given out the following statement: The campaign which is to rapidly draw to a close from every indication points to a republican victory. The closing of a careful canvass of the up-state counties convinces me that a plurality large enough to more than meet and offset any possible plurality that can be obtained in Greater New York by Tammany Hall is assured. I and that the constant talk by Tammany Hall leaders of their certainty of carrying the state has been pure bluff. There is no possibility of their securing in the city of New York a plurality that would insure the election of Van Wyck, and they are now seeking with fake bets to bolster up what they know to be a losing cause. Their bets the republicans are calling, and we are met with the information at their betting stations that there is no more Van Wyck money in sight. On the contrary, I am in receipt of information from hundreds of democrats within the city of New York who propose to vote for Roosevelt well, and I believe that there is a surprise in store for democrats as well as for republicans, only that the surprise for the republicans will be in the nature of a pleasing one. I claim the state of New York without any question for Roosevelt by at least 10,000. His magnificent canvass has awakened enthusiasm throughout the state, and his manly and courageous utterances and his reputation for honesty have brought to him the independent voters. Richard Croker, in a statement to the public, says: "I am confident that Judge Van Wyck will be elected by a handsome plurality. He will have from 73,000 to 80,000 plurality in these two boroughs, and the rest of Greater New York will increase the total to 100,000." 'SAN FRANCISCO' PRESSMEN ON STRIKE Prime Iterate to Accept Proposition for New Work Schedule and Afternoon Papers Are Stuck. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4. The pressmen employed in the San Francisco newspaper offices declared a strike at noon today and as a result, the first editions of the afternoon papers did not appear. The pressmen employed by the Post and Bulletin declined to obey the order to strike, but the Report pressmen walked out. The other papers, acting upon an agreement to stand by each other, refused to publish unless the Report could. The morning papers will probably be able to publish, as all their men will not obey the order to strike. The pressmen demand an increase of wages and have submitted a schedule which the papers decline to accept. The increased wages would amount to about $40,000 a year to the newspapers. About seventy-five men are employed in the newspapers' pressrooms in this city. Constitution prevents the body from ridding itself of waste matter.

NAMES NOT YET ON THE LIST Quest of the Campaign Committees Has Become Very Vigorous. VOTERS WHO HAVE NOT REGISTERED President Lincoln Is to Get Out the Kiln Great Effort of the City It Hard Work and Persuasion Can Do It. Unless the best efforts of the local campaign committee come to naught, the registration today will be a record-breaker. Especially will this be true if the weather shall at all be favorable. All of the committees are bending every energy to get out a full registration, and with the aroused interest in the campaign since the close of the exposition, taken with the increased number of political meetings, there is every reason to believe that the greater portion of the unregistered voters will be brought out tomorrow. The local committees look for a big registration, the number being variously estimated from 5,000 to 8,000 for the day. If the registration shall reach the latter number it will bring the total nearly up to that of two years ago. The republican committee has sent out nearly 100 men to work up interest among those who have not registered and try to get them out. These men will be sent to every voting precinct in this city and South Omaha, and each man is furnished a list of the republicans in his territory who have not performed this essential adjunct to their franchise as American citizens. He is expected to personally see each of the recalcitrants, and urge upon him the importance of having his name registered. In addition to this the committee has sent notices to all of these who have failed to register. The fusion committees are likewise busy. The three branches of the fusion agreement have each been furnished a list of those who have registered, and this has been carefully checked up with the list of the followers of the respective divisions, and the unregistered voter noted. The work of getting out this unregistered vote has been divided among the three sections. The Democrats furnish about two-thirds of the workers in this line, and the populists the other third, while the task of looking after the delinquent silver republicans will be assured by these two parties. Particular attention will be paid to South Omaha, as there is where the fusionists expect their big vote. ADDRESS TO INDEPENDENT VOTERS. Chairman of City Republican Committee Issues Following Address to Voters of the City of Omaha in Behalf of the Republican Candidates for the School Board- To the Parents and Voters of the City of Omaha: The officers to be elected upon the city ticket at the election to be held on the first day of November next have, this year, confined simply to five members of the Board of Education. At the republican city convention, held October 15, 1898, that body, after a most careful and earnest investigation into their merits, placed in nomination for those offices the following named gentlemen and earnestly recommended them to the voters of this city. Charles B. Black, Arthur M. Cain, Clyde, Charles S. Hayward, George G. Fry, Frederick F. Teal, all of whom are men of educational attainments and of splendid practical business qualifications. Probably at no time in the history of Omaha have there been questions arising concerning our public school affairs of greater importance than those which are likely to arise during the next one or two years. Not only may there be occasion during the time stated to create important changes in the present system of our graded schools, but plans and measures are also likely soon to be adopted bringing about a radical alteration of our present High school system. This school board also has the expenditure and disbursement of a large amount of money annually, already reaching nearly, if not more than, $300,000 yearly, and the sum is likely to be much greater within the near future. It is apparent therefore that every voter, every tax payer, and every patron of the public schools has a direct interest in seeing that such men are chosen to these offices who will not only act wisely and well in the adoption or rejection of anticipated innovations, but who will administer the whole of our public school affairs with that strict honesty and fidelity which we have a right to expect from faithful servants. Such we recommend the above named gentlemen to be, and we believe that no one who has any interest in our public schools can afford to fall or neglect to vote for these men. Under our laws every woman who has resided in the city forty days and is 21 years old and who owns real property in the city or personal property that was assessed in the city in her name at the last annual assessment; or who has children of school age residing in the city is also entitled to vote for school officers, and no previous registration is required for this purpose. It is expected and urged that the women of the city shall take a lively interest in this matter and not only vote themselves but see that these among their friends who perhaps may have less interest in this matter than themselves shall also vote and vote right on this question. If every one does his duty in this regard, these gentlemen above named will be triumphantly elected and the administration of our public school affairs will be placed into honest and competent hands. CITY ELECTION RESULTS Number of Offices to be Filled Will be Comparatively Few. City Clerk Higby and Secretary Gillan of the Board of Education are busily engaged in preparing the poll books and other necessary supplies for the city's end of the coming election. Each department has a separate set of books and boxes for the ballots, but this year neither is very extensive, as the Board of Education has only five candidates, together with the High school bond proposition, while the city proper is only interested in the single proposition of whether or not sewer and paving bonds shall be voted. The arrangements for the distribution of the election supplies will be practically the same as in past years. On the morning of election day the supplies will be all ready and wagons will be prepared to carry them to the booths. It is expected that every booth will be supplied at some time between 7:15 and 7:30, so that everything can be ready for the opening of booths to voters at 8 o'clock. PORTO RICANS DISSATISFIED Their Wish is to Be Taken In as a Part of the United States. United States Wants Peace. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. General Roy Stone, who has just returned from Porto Rico, says: "The people of Porto Rico are not at all satisfied with American rule. What the Porto Ricans want is to be taken in as a part of the United States. They do not expect to enter the union as a state, but as a people in training to be advanced to statehood. In addition to this they want free trade with the United States and there is no reason that I can see why they should not have it. At present they are forced to pay duty on all imported goods, Spanish goods included, which were free before. Overcome all with good. Overcome your coughs and colds with One Minute Cough Cure.

PITIABLE PLIGHT OF CUBANS Patriots Are Starving in Sight of Bountiful Harvest fields. RESPECT AMERICAN ORDER FOR PEACE Condition of the Latter Wireless Stations and Heroic Rescuers (Reported to War Department and Situation Will Be Looked Into). WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. The following letter from Lieutenant Colonel Carbonne of the Cuban army, now at Havana, has been received by Secretary Quesada of the Cuban delegation here, who has read it before Secretary Alger, with an urgent request that steps be taken to relieve the extreme distress it sets forth. Lieutenant Colonel Carbonne is the inventor of the explosive known as carbonite, and is regarded as the representative at Havana of the Cuban leaders and forces in the field. He writes as follows, the letter bearing date, Havana, October 23: I am just back from the camp of General Menocal, chief of our army in this province, and let me tell you in some faint way the true state of our poor and suffering army and the consequences that may come to the country if we do not find in a short time a remedy which will save us. The Cuban army is dying of hunger. Such terrible words in no way exaggerate the actual conditions. General Menocal took me to see his weak, tottering, and squalid soldiers, made so on account of the want of food and of the actual necessities of life; and to think that these men were in such a state by reason of obeying their chiefs, who desire fire above all to respect the orders of the American government. The Cuban leaders in camp told me to tell you that they will maintain resignation and patience, and above all, faith in the American government and the worthy president, Mr. McKinley, but, at the same time, let it be understood that we are hungry, that we have in the towns and fields of Cuba all that is needed in the way of food, but that we are forbidden to touch it by reason of the peace order. They do not get from Havana one-fourth of what they need and our soldiers are dying at the gates of the city for lack of food. What shall we do? The time will come when we cannot bear it any longer, and then what will be the result? I returned disappointed to Havana and tried to get succor, but the people were already so poor that I obtained nothing. We went to the American commission, which received us very well and offered us much, but up to the present time it has given us nothing. If by misfortune we are driven by the necessities of our army to get by force what we need, so as not to die of hunger, will the people of the United States condemn us, or will the nations of the world, which do not know what is happening, judge us unworthy of the sympathy of the American people? We were very happy to hear your assurances as to our republic. We have never doubted the good faith and generosity of the United States. To it we owe the complete liberty which we have been unable in many years to establish by ourselves. Secretary Alger said that he would look into the matter and telegraph the commission at Havana such instructions as were appropriate to the case. IMPARTIAL PROGRESS. Christian Citizenship Contention Called For December. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. A call has been issued for a national Christian citizenship convention to be held here December 13 to 15 next. The subjects to be discussed are: "Should Suffrage be Limited by Educational Tests or Otherwise in the New Island Territories?" "Should Civil Service Reform be Extended to the New Island Offices?" "Should the National Laws Forbidding Nudity and Boys' Hats be Extended to the New Island Territories?" "Should the National American Civil Sabbath be Also Extended to These Islands?" "Should Canteens be Abolished and the Policy of Prohibition be Maintained in Alaska and the Indian Territory and be Extended to Our New Island Territories?" The call is signed by Josiah Strong, president of the Society for Social Service, New York; Anthony Comstock, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Vice, New York; Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, Women's Christian Temperance Union, Hoston; Mrs. M. D. Ellis, Women's Christian Temperance Union, Newark, and others. MOVEMENTS: THIS THREADS. for Scheduling in North of Cuba. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. The Quartermaster's department of the army has begun making arrangements for the shipment of General Carpenter's brigade to the province of Puerto Principe. The ports along the north coast of Cuba, where troops must be landed for this province, are not the best. It is probable that Neuvitas will be selected as the place of landing, but the transports will not be able to get within ten miles of the port and the troops and supplies must be landed with lighters. The troops are to be in Puerto Principe on the 22nd, and it will be necessary to have the transports ready for some days in advance of that date. It is intended to have the troops embark at Savannah. Forty-fourth Ohio Arrives in New York. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. Colonel Colt, Forty-fourth Ohio volunteer, has telegraphed the War department announcing his arrival in New York. Private Avery L. Bertier, Company K, died and was buried at sea. Two other men are sick and the remainder of the command is in excellent health. The Forty-fourth will disembark today, leaving New York at midnight, will arrive here tomorrow and be reviewed by the president. Not Official Command, WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. Adjutant General Corbin said today that no orders have been issued to the batteries of artillery at Fort Chamnel, N.C., to go to Wilmington or to stop over there election day. No one at the War department knows anything concerning this report. May Court Again. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4. Judge Butler of the United States district court this afternoon, on application of counsel for Gideon W. Marsh, the fugitive in for the president who surrendered yesterday, ordered that the amount of bail to be posted for the release of the prisoner Marsh was not present. The order was announced, and said that he could not state who the indictments would be, although admitting that satisfactory security would be entered with the clerk of the court by tomorrow morning. Meantime, Marsh remains in prison in the official custody of the United States marshal.

" His purpose , Mr. Sabln said , was t < enlist his hearers In all work which makei for humanity with the same carnestnes : that animated the Athenians. Continuing , ho said : Webster defines socialism as "a theory ol society which advocates a moro precise , orderly and harmonious arrangement of the social relations of mankind than that which has hitherto prevailed. " It Is not communism In any sense of that word. It does not seek to destroy existing Institutions. It ad vocates fraternity and equal rights , and seeks to bring all men under the benign Influence of Just laws It Is a protection , not u menace a means of political grace. Its tendency Is to free the Intellect and the body , to arouse the people , to hold up high the light of truth. Every thinking man or woman must con cede that there are certain evils Inherent In modern society for which some remedy must be found. It IB not. however , neces sary to tear down the building to drive out the vermin In every republican govern ment there exists the means by which , If rightly used , all evils can bo corrected. When the will of the people Is the supreme law of the land , there Is no possible ex cuse for revolution. Thli Is socialism the strength of republics , the redemption of democracy. U stands for obedience to dl- vlno law and would shape all human In stitutions. If property la unsafe ; If Justice Is not meted out to rich and poor allko ; If crime goes unpunished , or money buys off the law ; these are symptoms of social disease which demand thoughtful consideration from all classes , but above all from these charged with the education of the future citizen. I come to you , then , this morning as a socialist In the high sense of that term , which Includes 11 who believe that a gov ernment of the people must bo adminis tered by the people , and who are ready to address themselves to the correction of Im pending evils through the agency of the law. Are we not all socialist * then ? The divine right of kings has given place to the divine supremacy of law. From this point wo approach the right of the state la support schools , to demand the cduca- 'tlon of the child and to enforce Its de mands against the wishes of the parent Under our Institutions the parent Is the natural guardian of his offspring. If he neglects his duty. If ho Is unable to dis charge It through poverty or sickness , then the state exercises Us rights as the lawn of humanity and self-preservation dictate and teaches the vouth to earn a living , to be honest , to bo patriotic , that ho may be a wise and virtuous member of the body politic. Kut or ComuulHory nilncnttoii. I advocate the passage of a compulsory law requiring attendance at school. I want a law that will provide for Its own execu tion , that would take the truant child from the core of Its parents and place it where It could not escape the environments of a gcod school. I think the state has the same right to do this that It has to estab lish and enforce other regulations necessary to Its piotectton and perpetuation the right of eminent domain. I would have the kindergarten In every city and village of the state , and would sc regulate the law that children 4 years old could bo taken off the street and put In the kindergarten. I would have a night school In every city under Just as good con trol and with luit as competent teachers as the day schools , Girls and boys who have to work for a living should have thla advantage. I would also have half-time schools for the same purpose , so that a boy who has to earn his living might spend a couple of hours a day under a good teacher.

" The morning program was brought to n close with an address by Prof. A. B Warner , superintendent of schools at Mis souri Valley. His subject was "Literature as a Moans of education , " and the address nas a strong plea for radical reforms In the common school curriculum and for Its Improvement through Ihe means of teaching of good literature. Mr. Warner said In part On entering school the average child Is li a deplorable state of undovclopnicnt Com pared with the child who has seen and bean much worth seeing and hearing , who ha : been caicfully trained by cultured people whose senses have been quickened an whose mind has been filled with a grea number of beautiful Images by home alien tlon , by kindergarten and by travel , thli average child Is an object of pity.

( Special Tele gram. ) The West Ues Molncs High school today defeated the Omaha High fcchool by a score of 5 lo 0. A Ihousand people saw the game and there was great enthusiasm. DCS Moines won on a chance play. The game was a close contest all the way through , lloth the DCS Moines and Omaha elevens played their best ; they felt that they were representing Iowa and Nebraska and their tie game ending In 0 to 0 at Omaha last Saturday gave them an Incentive for still harder work. The ball changed hands constantly. Terrell's punts sent It flying for long distances often. There were several spectacular runs , flno tackles and terrific plunges , which often resulted In gains through Ihe Des Moines lines. Captain Pcaverly of West Des Molne-s made the only touchdown of the game. Terrell had punted hard for the forty-yard line. Peaverly tore down the field. Tracy of Omaha stood on the live-yard line to receive thu sphere from Terrell's punt. He muffed and Peaverly fell on the ball tvvb yards from' the goal line. Then he rolled and wriggled over the line for a touchdown. The first half closed soon after that. In the second half the ball was kept In West Dt's Moines territory most of the time and at several 'times ' it looked us though Omaha would score. Terrell's puntIng - Ing was the feature of the game. Peaverly's wotk In getting down the field on all punts was star foot ball. "Jimmy" Klnkcad , Des Molncs' little quarter , did fine work. On defense ho reinforced the line and spoiled many smashes that would have been long gntns. On punts ho ran back , made line catches and also made a forty-yard run through many tacklcrs. Tor the Omaha team , Thomas , at left end , did fast work in breaking through and spoiling plays be hind the line Griffith , at right end , also played a good game. Englehart , fullback , was their best ground gainer , going through the line. Right Tackle Dickinson was pushed over for good gains. Thurkles , the colored boy at right half , was carried back by the right end players whenever he took the ball. Guards Cathroo and Roberts , for Omaha , made good line gains In the last half. DCS Molnen had much the better In terference on Iho end plays , but the Omaha boys were the stronger on going through the line. The Omaha Hue was somewhat stronger , but Des Moines played with raoro i ginger. There was more kicking done In the game than any played In les Moines this year. A coincidence of the game was that the Omaha team had hern coached by Frank Thomas , coach for Nebraska. The Des Moines team has been coached by Potter , who coaches Drake. When Potter did his first star work at the Northwestern , Thomas was .coaching the Northwestern team. Thomas and Potter are great friends. Line up : West DCS Moines. Position.

TEACHERS TURN OUT IN FORCE Auditorium Is Scarcely Large Enough to Accommodate the Convention. PROMPTLY SETTLES DOWN TO BUSINESS Union Sprouting Complaints About Slate Cake for Compulsory Edition. The sessions of the Southwestern Iowa Teachers' association were marked by a largely increased attendance over that of the opening day. Teachers from all parts of the district commenced to arrive on the early morning trains, and to these were added the local teachers, the city schools being closed for the day to allow them to attend the meetings. The lists at the railway secretary's office showed by noon that several hundred teachers were in attendance. Many of these came in just for the day and left for home again after the afternoon session. The day was one of work, general meetings being held in the forenoon and evening, while the afternoon was devoted to sectional meetings. When the morning session, which was opened at the First Presbyterian church, convened the large auditorium was completely filled and it was some time before seats could be found for all those present. The program commenced with a class exercise in music under the direction of Miss Porterfield, supervisor of music in the Council Bluffs city schools. The first address of the session was by William Wilcox of Atlantic, his subject being "The Gulf Between the People and the Schools." Mr. Wilcox said that if the managers of the schools would be more hearty in taking up the many novelties and fads that present themselves, and adhere more firmly to the solid work of the school, there would be less opportunity for complaint from the public. When the school devotes itself to the culture of the mind and making it broad and practical for the best citizens, then where the school recommends itself to the cooperation of the patrons. There should be a closer acquaintance between the patron and the school and the school should be held above and aloof from politics. Of the teachers, there should be required thoroughness of scholarship, broadness of mind, ability to arrange the course of study and humanity toward the child. In the High school course of study, more thought should be given to the quality than to the quantity of studies. Work for All to Do. Mr. Wilcox was followed by Hon. Henry Sablin, ex-state superintendent, in an address on "Educational Socialism," in which he advocated a number of advanced propositions. Mr. Sablin opened his address with a description of the desperate energy with which the Athenians prepared to defend themselves and their city against the threatened attack of Philip, the Macedonian king. "In those hours not long ago, held itself aloof from the service of the state. It was a time when the earth contributed its trees, the dead their tombs, the temples their store of armor. Some toiled in restoring the walls, others dug in the trenches, some were building palisades; there was no idleness in the city." His purpose, Mr. Sablin said, was to enlist his hearers in all work which makes for humanity with the same earnestness that animated the Athenians. Continuing, he said: Webster defines socialism as "a theory of society which advocates a more precise, orderly, and harmonious arrangement of the social relations of mankind than that which has hitherto prevailed." It is not communism in any sense of that word. It does not seek to destroy existing institutions. It advocates fraternity and equal rights, and seeks to bring all men under the benign influence of just laws. It is a protection, not a menace; a means of political grace. Its tendency is to free the intellect and the body, to arouse the people, to hold up high the light of truth. Every thinking man or woman must concede that there are certain evils inherent in modern society for which some remedy must be found. It is not necessary, however, to tear down the building to drive out the vermin. In every republican government there exists the means by which, if rightly used, all evils can be corrected. When the will of the people is the supreme law of the land, there is no possible excuse for revolution. This is socialism, the strength of republics, the redemption of democracy. It stands for obedience to divine law and would shape all human institutions. If property is unsafe; if justice is not meted out to rich and poor alike; if crime goes unpunished, or money buys off the law; these are symptoms of social disease which demand thoughtful consideration from all classes, but above all from those charged with the education of the future citizen. I come to you, then, this morning as a socialist in the high sense of that term, which includes all who believe that a government of the people must be administered by the people, and who are ready to address themselves to the correction of impending evils through the agency of the law. Are we not all socialists then? The divine right of kings has given place to the divine supremacy of law. From this point we approach the right of the state in support of schools, to demand the education of the child and to enforce its demands against the wishes of the parent. Under our institutions the parent is the natural guardian of his offspring. If he neglects his duty, if he is unable to discharge it through poverty or sickness, then the state exercises its rights as the law of humanity and self-preservation dictate, and teaches the youth to earn a living, to be honest, to be patriotic, that he may be a wise and virtuous member of the body politic. I advocate the passage of a compulsory attendance law. I want a law that will provide for its own execution, that would take the truant child from the core of its parents and place it where it could not escape the environments of a good school. I think the state has the same right to do this that it has to establish and enforce other regulations necessary to its protection and perpetuation, the right of eminent domain. I would have the kindergarten in every city and village of the state, and would see that the law regulates it so that children 4 years old could be taken off the street and put in the kindergarten. I would have a night school in every city under just as good control and with as competent teachers as the day schools. Girls and boys who have to work for a living should have this advantage. I would also have half-time schools for the same purpose, so that a boy who has to earn his living might spend a couple of hours a day under a good teacher. I would educate the hand with the head and would give each an equal chance. Influenza, Catarrh, and all throat and lung troubles are proof of it. It does not shrink or disagree with the stomach.

Bearshear of the Ames Agricultural college delivered a scholarly address, tailored as the subject "Three R's and One T," which he said were, "Pedagogy, ethics, aesthetics, and therapeutics." The morning program was brought to a close with an address by Prof. A. B. Warner, superintendent of schools at Missouri Valley. His subject was "Literature as a Means of education," and the address was a strong plea for radical reforms in the common school curriculum and for its improvement through the means of teaching good literature. Mr. Warner said in part, "On entering school, the average child is in a deplorable state of underdevelopment compared with the child who has seen and heard much worth seeing and hearing, who has been carefully trained by cultured people whose senses have been quickened and whose mind has been filled with a great number of beautiful images by home education, by kindergarten, and by travel. This average child is an object of pity. He has been robbed of the rich heritage of modern childhood. His hungry soul has been starved. The spelling book, with its dreary columns of isolated words, cannot quicken his mind and develop the best human qualities. Definitions and talks cannot do it. In fact, no formal instruction and arbitrary usages can breathe life into this soul; nothing must appeal to the senses. The mind must be filled with images. The emotions must be touched and through them the will stirred to action. The mastery of the processes of reading, writing, spelling, and composition is only an incident in the education of a child. Neither would I neglect true nature study or Industrial training. But in literature, we will have material that is suited also to the nature of the child and to the exigencies of the schoolroom. No doubt the Greeks had his gymnastics, music, and Iliad was able to touch every human chord. This is more than we can do with three 'Rs' and spelling." What we must have now in every schoolroom is a teacher who knows and loves literature and who knows how to use it in the development of training and character. And we must have adequate books. The Committee was announced by President French - Finance, H.B. Hayden, Council Bluffs; C. Parsons, Creston. Nominations, W.N. Clifford, Council Bluffs; A.A.

Wilkins, of Mount Ayr, presided. The principal subject of discussion was the "Place and Work of the County Normal Institute," which was presented by Dr. H. W. Sawyer, county superintendent of Pottawattamie County, part in the discussion being taken by State Superintendent It. C. Barrett, ex-State Superintendent Henry Sabat, Prof. B. H., Shaw, president of the Northeastern Iowa Teachers' association, and Superintendents Taylor of Adams County, Decker of Page County and Lark of Monona County. In the evening a general meeting was held in the Presbyterian church, the auditorium being crowded to the doors. President Homer H. Seerley of the State Normal school addressed the meeting on "The Struggle for a Place," in which he held that a person in these days, to get to the top of the ladder and make a name, must be original, not an imitator or successor of anyone. He must carve out a line for himself distinct and original from anybody else. No man who essays to be a second edition of another person can make a place for himself in this world. State Librarian Johnson Brigham spoke on "The Library Movement," strongly advocating the extension of the state circulating libraries. There will be a general meeting this morning, the strong feature of which promises to be the address by Dr. Arnold Tompkins of Champaign, III. His subject will be "The Religion of Education." In the afternoon a business meeting will be held, at which the election of officers will take place. A kindergarten symposium will close the meeting and bring the session to an end.

Collections made everywhere in U.S.A. MAN SUFFERS FOR MISPLACED FURNITURE, Charles Mathews Son to Head Whiting Rock. SIOUX CITY, Nov. 4. (Special Telegram.) It is learned from reliable authority that Charles Mathews of Dakota County, Nebraska, will be appointed agent for the Winnebago and Omaha Indians to succeed Captain W. A. Mercer, U. S. A., who has requested that he be transferred from the infantry to the cavalry service. Mathews is said to have the endorsement of Assistant Secretary of War Melville Johnston and Senator Thwing of Nebraska. It is considered that his appointment is so certain that four of the five other applicants for the place have withdrawn. Major Mathews, father of Charles Mathews, forty years ago was agent of the Winnebagoes and he made a very good record with the tribe. He secured his appointment through the Quaker influence from Philadelphia. The son is about 30 years of age and has lived in this section of the country all his life. He was chief clerk for Agent Ashley, who was appointed by President Harrison. He is well liked by the Indians and it is thought he will be a good man for the place. HOLD DISCUSSIONS. Talk About the Different Phases of Their Work. ATLANTIC, Ia., Nov. 4. (Special Telegram.) The second day's program of the State Epworth League convention had several interesting numbers. The social reforms of the day were discussed and papers read upon work in the literary and mercy and help departments. The report of the State Epworth League Assembly commission appointed three years ago was accepted, which makes it a separate organization and places it on its feet. Already it has had three assemblages, generally in July near Colfax, on ground secured for the purpose, and to ten acres of which they have a clear title. The remaining seventeen acres they get clear when seven more annual assemblages have been held. Already improvements to the value of over $3,000 have been placed thereon. This evening Dr. J. R. Berry, editor of the Epworth Herald, Chicago, will lecture on the subject, "Tomorrow." DES MOINES, Nov. 4. (Special Telegram.) Senator J. L. Carney, an attorney at Marshalltown, sent in some articles of incorporation to the secretary of state this morning which are more interesting than the usual ones. They announce the organization of the "Clear Creek (Mining Company of Alaska." The incorporators are Iowa people who established their organization on board the steamboat Iowa at the mouth of Clear Creek, Alaska, August 12, 1898, with a capital stock of $50,000. The parties to the organization include E. O. Abbott, T. T. Harbour, J. C. Bonham, E. M. Vail, O. F. Hazelman, J. B. Koables, F. A. Benjamin, P. W. Foster, C. E. Hitt, J. D. Thomas, Jennie Thomas, W. M. Sherlock, W. W. G. Michaels, Charles Bridgeman, Con Doran, Edward Hoyer, and B. F. Boyer. The Independent Malting company of Davenport has amended its articles of incorporation and added $10,000 to its capital stock of $100,000. The Press Publishing company of Ottumwa is a new incorporation with a stock of $20,000, George Riley, A. Crall, E. A. Jones, and Jane Jones are the incorporators.

TERRELL STARTS IT WITH A LONG PUNT Penery Kalloch the Ball Down and Grabs It on the Try-Out Year Line When Tracey Fumbles Over the Goal. DES MOINES, Nov. 4. (Special Telegram.) The West Des Moines High school today defeated the Omaha High school by a score of 5 to 0. A thousand people saw the game and there was great enthusiasm. Des Moines won on a chance play. The game was a close contest all the way through, both the Des Moines and Omaha elevens played their best; they felt that they were representing Iowa and Nebraska and their tie game ending in 0 to 0 at Omaha last Saturday gave them an incentive for still harder work. The ball changed hands constantly. Terrell's punts sent it flying for long distances often. There were several spectacular runs, fine tackles and terrific plunges, which often resulted in gains through the Des Moines lines. Captain Peaverly of West Des Moines made the only touchdown of the game. Terrell had punted hard for the forty-yard line. Peaverly tore down the field. Tracy of Omaha stood on the twenty-yard line to receive the sphere from Terrell's punt. He muffed and Peaverly fell on the ball twenty yards from the goal line. Then he rolled and wriggled over the line for a touchdown. The first half closed soon after that. In the second half the ball was kept in West Des Moines territory most of the time and at several times it looked as though Omaha would score. Terrell's punting was the feature of the game. Peaverly's work in getting down the field on all punts was star football. "Jimmy" Kinkead, Des Moines' little quarterback, did fine work. On defense he reinforced the line and spoiled many smashes that would have been long gains. On punts he ran back, made line catches and also made a forty-yard run through many tacklers. For the Omaha team, Thomas, at left end, did fast work in breaking through and spoiling plays behind the line. Griffith, at right end, also played a good game. Englehart, fullback, was their best ground gainer, going through the line. Right Tackle Dickinson was pushed over for good gains. Thurkles, the colored boy at right half, was carried back by the right end players whenever he took the ball. Guards Cathcart and Roberts, for Omaha, made good line gains in the last half. Des Moines had much the better interference on the end plays, but the Omaha boys were the stronger on going through the line. The Omaha line was somewhat stronger, but Des Moines played with more ginger. There was more kicking done in the game than any played in Des Moines this year. A coincidence of the game was that the Omaha team had been coached by Frank Thomas, coach for Nebraska. The Des Moines team has been coached by Potter, who coaches Drake. When Potter did his first star work at the Northwestern, Thomas was coaching the Northwestern team. Thomas and Potter are great friends. Line up: West Des Moines Position.

Voight, Lincoln, Ill., contracted a hard cold which caused a derangement of the delicate organs peculiar to her sex. This trouble was followed by severe headaches and finally by hemorrhages of the lungs, which threatened to terminate fatally. She writes, "I found sufficient strength to get up and move around, but our family physician seemed to be unable to relieve me of all my trouble. My blood was thin and colorless, and greatly lacking in nourishment, but my nerves were worse. I felt hungry all the time but could not stay at the table long enough to finish." I was so weak and nervous that I seemed to be in a hurry all the time. At night I was restless and could not sleep more than an hour or two, while my legs would be cold and the upper part of my body and my head would be hot. A friend told me how Dr. Miles' Nervine cured her of severe headaches, and I decided to try it. The very first two doses helped me, and in a few weeks I felt well and strong as I ever did in my life. A merchant from Middlebury, Vt., writes: "Two years ago, I was suffering from indigestion bordering on dyspepsia, and nerves which were so severe that I was unable to control myself. Through a friend, I was persuaded to try Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. After using four bottles of Nervine and one box of Pills, I was decidedly a new man and returned to my business cares with increased energy. FRANK A. BOND, Middlebury, Vt."

PAIU8 , Nov. 4. A statement is prlntcil hero today , with much prominence , that nt today's Joint session of the 1'caco com mission the Americans will Insist upon a complete Hurrcnder of Spain's sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and that , In tba event of the Spanish commissioners refusing to agree to this , Judge Day , president of the American commission , acting under Instruc tions from Washington , will present an ultimatum to the Spaniards. It la further alleged that this seeming haste Is due to a deslro to settle the negotiations before the elections In the United States take place. Reference Is matin to these allegations In view of the fact that they may have also been circulated In the United States. Hut thcro Is no truth In the statements made. N'o ultimatum IB contemplated and there Is no probability of drastic measures being taken by the Americans. Two commls- blona are now considering an open ques tion , and the Americans expect to patiently weigh all the points Involved and to care fully consider the arguments of the Spaniards. The two commissions met at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Americans wcr * aware , before the session opened , that the Spaniards would dccllua their proposal made on Monday last. The Gaulols today says : It has been Mated on absolutely reliable authority that Spain will refuse to discuss the unconditional surrender of the I'hlllp- plnu Islands , Spain , It Is further asserted , had made particular reservations concern ing the retention of the Phlllppluu Island af fairs , Duke Almodovar do Hlo had himself , at the time nf the signing of the peace protocol , Htlpulatcd that the Island of Luzon , alone , should remain occupied by the American troops while the peace negotiations were In progress , nnd that Spain would resume sov ereignty over the archipelago as BOOH as n more liberal form of government for the Islands should have been decided upon. The Fronde says : "Tlie claims , of the United States on the Philippine Islands uro looked upon with disfavor at St. Petersburg. The powers might , In case of America prov ing too obstlnato on this point , be provoked to protest. " The Kvenment says : "Your money or your life , Is the attitude taken by America In relation to Spain. The latter having no money ofcrs Porto Rico and the abandon ment of Cuba and thinks it has thus dis charged Its ransom. The "Pardon Mo" answers : "Jonathan , you yet have the Philippine Islands , which arc only an encumbrance to you. I will relieve lievo you of them. Why ? Docauso with Fontaine , I have tbo strongest reasons for w > doing. " The joint session of the Pcaco commis sions today lasted two hours. The Spaniards refused the propositions made by the Amer icans on Monday last , but the negotiations were not broken off. While it Is believed that no formal counter proposition was made , thcro was a discussion of the Philippine question outside the lines of the American propositions , The commissions then ad journed until Tuesday next. WASHINGTON , Nov. 4. Up to 1 o'clock , when the cabinet meeting adjourned , noth ing had been received from the Peace commission - * mission at Paris. If a message Is received during the afternoon or evening another mooting of the cabinet may bo called.

CUBANS GO OUT ON A STRIKE Get a Few Mcnln Alirnil nnd Fall t . \PIirecIntc It When They IIuvc n flood TliliiR. SANTIAGO DE CUBA , Nov. 4. Th Cubans who have been employed in cleanln and repairing the streets of Santiago hav struck for higher wages , though they hav been receiving U a day , or CO cents and tw rations higher wages than have ever befor been paid for similar work. In fact , loca employers of labor have been complaining of this high rate , alleging that It was quite Impossible for them to compete with the government on such terms. The Cuban la borers at the best are lazy and slipshod. They want an Increase of CO cents a day. General Leonard Wood absolutely refuses to accede to the demand and will adopt heroic measures if the strike is not promptly de clared off. The trouble is that many of the trikcrs have rations enough on hand to last a. mouth or more , and they think they can cocrco the United States authorities. Gen eral Wood says he will arrest every laborer able to work and under a vagrancy law , which he will establish , compel them to work for thirty days for rations while con fined in jail. Ho dislikes the idea ot Im porting , but thinks this must bo the ultimate result. General Wood visited the yellow fever hos pital to make an inspection. He found one patient suffering from Drlght's disease , but there had not been a case of yellow fever under care for two months. Ho has severely censured Dr. Duckor , superintendent of the hospital , for making an appeal for American relief store. , and ho will probably aborlsh the hospital altogether at a very early date. . Collector Donaldson has returned from Gibara with $40,000 customs receipts at that place. Ho reports that there is considerable smallpox in the neighborhood of Holguln , but no yellow fever. Colonel Hood'u Second Immune regiment Is encamped at Qibara In a hoalthfuF locality , waiting to occupy Hol guln on November 10. General Demetrius Castillo , who is assisting in the work of or . ganizing the military department in that dis trict , is busy engaging men for gendarmerie , accepting men only ot good physique. Colonel Ray , who has returned from Guantanamo - tanamo , says that the Cuban general , Perez , : Is about to grant Indefinite furlough to his men to enable them lo go to work , the rea son apparently being that many are prac > tically starving and would have gone to work anyhow.

That the pass system was bclns manipulated for the advantage of persons who had no shadow of right to frco ndmlaslon was apparent to everyone who was familiar with the cxposl- , tlon. It was notorious that hundreds of people - ' plo were coming through the gates every day on passes to which they were not en titled , but which they had received as per sonal favors from officials. A largo proportion tion of these came through the Department of Exhibits and It was notorious that an exhibitor who was < ! n favor with the super intendent had no difficulty in securing passes for hU friends. Hundreds of people were worked Into the grounds all summer In the character of attendants and employes In exhibits when as a matter of fact they never even saw the exhibit In which they were alleged to bo employed. The result was a material loss to the exposition , while the favored exhibitors Indicated their apprecia tion by raising an extravagant purse for the man who had connived In the conspiracy. Some of the pretexts upon which passes were ordered by Hardt were so flimsy that the fraud was unmistakable. In some cases Hardt gave the order with full knowledge that the recipient was not en titled to It. For Instance , one of the ex hibitors In the Liberal Arts wanted a desk < to use during the summer. He called on the proprietor of a local furniture establish ment and asked him what ho would charge for It. The furniture man suggested that he would give him the use of a dcik dur ing the exposition If ho would get him a season pass under the pretense that ho was connected with his exhibit. The ex hibitor told Hardt the whole story and I asked him what ho could do about it. Hardt replied that that would bo all right and gave him an order for a pass for the furnlturo dealer , although bo knew that he had no connection with the exhibit and was also well able to pay his way Into th grounds. The result was that one man who would otherwise have contributed a number of dollars admission during th summer had free entrance to the grounds and the exhibitor had bis space furnished practically at the expense of 'he exposition The s.iuio exhibitor says that he knows o a dozen others in the same building ivhi were favored In a similar manner , but such Irregularities were kindly overlooked by the pass Inspector who was employed t < report them. Aided au Agency. The superintendent of exhibits is appar ently a. firm believer In reciprocity , and hi experience devised numerous schemes b ; which the principle was applied to th mutual advantage of himself and ccrtali exhibitors. Since Hardt has succeeded In fixing up the report of the committee on awards to meet his own views the exhibitor ; are beginning to discover that those wh patronized a certain Exhibitors' agency , In which Hardt has been suspected of haying ; an Interest , have fared rather" better' than their neighbors. This agency was organizes at the beginning of the exposition at th personal suggestion of Hardt and O. C Holmes was the ostensible manager. Thi plan was to secure contracts from exhibitors to take full charge of their exhibits durln g the summer for a stated compensation. The agency took the goods from the cars , un packed and Installed them , kept the exhibit In good order during the exposition and then shipped the goods back to the exhibitor. Hardt was tin enthusiastic capper for this concern and largely through his Influence it did quite a flourishing business. Now It Is ' aliened that medals have been distributed among the exhibitors who patronized the agency with a lavish Impartiality that left nothing to be desired. Just how far this Imposition on the remaining exhibitors was carried cannot be discovered. The full list of exhibits that were handled by the agency la In the hands of Mr. Holmes , who declines to give any information on the subject. Ho says that this Is his private business and that he does not propose to provide ammuni tion that might bo used against himself. Gave the Awnrcln Hack. The two criminal cases brought In Justice Cockrell'a court , charging H. B. Hardt , su perintendent of the Department of Exhibits , wHh forgery , have been dls- missed. Upon the close of the exhibition H. S. Cochranc , representing Scofleld , Shurmcr & Teagle , and II. A. Searles , representing the Monarch Manu facturing company , filed Informations In the Justice court , alleging that Hardt had beer guilty of forgery In this , * hat after the J judges had filed their report It was changed by Hardt and awards were made that were not recommended by the said juJges. Yesterday the Bureau of Awards of the Department of Exhibits of the exposition changed the awards buck until they were IU originally made , giving Cochrano three gold medals Instead of one gold and one silver medal and S carles ono gold , Instead of one stiver medal , as recommended by Hardt.

The Baby Incubator people , who did busi ness on the East Midway during the exposi tion , have again secured possession of their Incubators and have turned the babies over to the people to whom they belonged. All during the exposition these people showed babies In glass cases for the purpose of proving to the public that there was a way other than the old way to ralso babies. The show attracted thousands of people and proved to bo ono of the features of the Mid way. After It was all over the employes discovered that they had been spending a portion of their time working for fun , as the proprietor was not Inclined to settle and pay their salaries , whereupon the aforesaid employes attached the Incubators and the babies that were In them. The suit was brought In justice court and was to tavo come on for trial today , but when every thing was ready the aforesaid proprietors died the required bond and again came Into possession of the plant , which Is still In posi tion on the East Midway. The men who worked for the Baby Incu bator concern now feel secure , and are ol the opinion that they will get their pay , as the bond that has been filed Is regarded as am ple security for all of the debts.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 4. Tlocont edicts of the dowager empress of China , copies of which have been received by the Chinese minister here , show with what a strong hand the empress Is directing the affairs of the government nnd overcoming some of the . ultra reform tendencies of the young cmI I pcror which cropped out just before the empress assumed the reins of office. One of the recent edicts restores the ancient departments of 1'ckln and the governorship of the outlying country which had been abolished not many weeks ngo by an edict of the emperor. These places had been pre sided over by some of the most prominent , men of China who had grown gray In the country's service. They were handed down from father to son , and great dignity as well as considerable profit attached to the offices. There was little work for them , however , and following the reform tenden cies of the western world against sinecures , the emperor by edict abolished all the offices , bureaus ftnd governorships which ho regarded aa supernumerary. While this made a considerable saving In the Chinese finances , It stripped many of the venerable offices of China of all their dignity and emoluments. This came so suddenly that much sympathy was aroused for the officials who had been enjoying life tenures up to that time. The dowager now restores the old regime , and In n recent edict the depart ments throughout the country are placed on the same basis they had been before the emperor's edict. Another edict from the dowager empress directs that the temples bo used exclusively for religious rites , and not as schools , The emperor had previously Inaugurated a marked reform In directing that many elf the old temples throughout the empire ho turned Into school houses , In order that education might be fostered. But the empress dowager , while upholding the desirability of education , does not want the ancient temples of China turned Into school houses If It Is possible to secure schools elsewhere. She therefore directs that the temples bo used exclusively for worship , except when no school facilities are available elsewhere , or when the temples have been turned to im moral uses. In each case the action of the empress dowager Is a return to the anrlent methods of the country , and Js accepted with favor by the conservative element as well as by these who desire reforms , so long as they can bo brought about without doing violence lence to the ( traditions of centuries.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, IN NOVEMBER 5, 1898. AMERICANS ARE PATIENT Commissioners Will Use All Possible Moderation in Interest of Peace, CONSIDERATION FOR FALLEN ADVERSARY With Special Host (via Settle via Brooklyn- If anyone influences in United States Service King on Sunday. PAGES, Nov. 4. A statement is printed here today, with much prominence, that at today's Joint session of the Peace Commission the Americans will Insist upon a complete Surrender of Spain's sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and that, in the event of the Spanish commissioners refusing to agree to this, Judge Day, president of the American commission, acting under instructions from Washington, will present an ultimatum to the Spaniards. It is further alleged that this seeming haste is due to a desire to settle the negotiations before the elections in the United States take place. Reference is made to these allegations in view of the fact that they may have also been circulated in the United States. But there is no truth in the statements made. No ultimatum is contemplated and there is no probability of drastic measures being taken by the Americans. Two commissions are now considering an open question, and the Americans expect to patiently weigh all the points involved and to carefully consider the arguments of the Spaniards. The two commissions met at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Americans were aware, before the session opened, that the Spaniards would declare their proposal made on Monday last. The Gaulois today says: It has been stated on absolutely reliable authority that Spain will refuse to discuss the unconditional surrender of the Philippine Islands, Spain, It is further asserted, had made particular reservations concerning the retention of the Philippine Island affairs, Duke Almodovar de Huelva had himself, at the time of the signing of the peace protocol, stipulated that the Island of Luzon, alone, should remain occupied by the American troops while the peace negotiations were in progress, and that Spain would resume sovereignty over the archipelago as soon as a more liberal form of government for the Islands should have been decided upon. The Patrie says: "The claims of the United States on the Philippine Islands are looked upon with disfavor at St. Petersburg. The powers might, in case of America proving too obstinate on this point, be provoked to protest." The Government says: "Your money or your life, is the attitude taken by America in relation to Spain. The latter having no money offers Porto Rico and the abandonment of Cuba and thinks it has thus discharged its ransom. The "Pardon Me" answers: "Jonathan, you yet have the Philippine Islands, which are only an encumbrance to you. I will relieve you of them. Why? Because with Fontaine, I have the strongest reasons for doing so." The joint session of the Peace commissions today lasted two hours. The Spaniards refused the propositions made by the Americans on Monday last, but the negotiations were not broken off. While it is believed that no formal counter proposition was made, there was a discussion of the Philippine question outside the lines of the American propositions. The commissions then adjourned until Tuesday next. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. Up to 1 o'clock, when the cabinet meeting adjourned, nothing had been received from the Peace commission at Paris. If a message is received during the afternoon or evening, another meeting of the cabinet may be called. LIVE WIRE KILLS SOLDIERS Accident in Che Street of Honolulu Storm Hand Injury Rico- trio Live Wires. VICTORIA, B.C., Nov. 4. Honolulu advises of the electrocution of Thomas Hannan of San Francisco, a member of Company I, New York engineers, and a native hackman; also a narrow escape from death of Private Gertz of San Francisco, on the night of October 22. Hannan and Gertz were in a carriage on their way to camp. The night was dark and stormy. In the heart of the city their journey was obstructed by a horse lying in the street near a deserted hack. Nearby the body of a man was seen. Alighting, Hannan placed his hands on the body to lift it. He was stricken dead instantly by a current of electricity. Gertz placed his hands off Hannan and was hurled to the ground. A passing fireman seized him by the shoe and pulled him away from the deadly current, thus saving his life. The electric current came from a live wire that had fallen to the street. Hannan was a native of Tennessee and a pressman by trade. He worked for several years on San Francisco papers. At the outbreak of the war he enlisted in the Third battalion, Federal Volunteer engineers. SALIS TO A FRENZINESS AVILLI IT CHAMPION the Control of the Mountains of SI. Laurence River. TORONTO, Nov. 4. The foreign office of the British government has cabled to Canada asking for a report upon and an explanation of the sale of the Island of Anticosti, at the mouth of the St. Lawrence river, to a subject of a foreign power. Attorney General Arcambault has received a request from Ottawa for a report on the whole subject. The purchaser is a French capitalist, who, it is said, is now evicting English settlers and could, with sufficient arms on the Island, control the St. Lawrence river. In the event of a war between Great Britain and France, this would be of immense advantage to France. It is believed that the British government will order the cancellation of the sale. Concentrating Opponents. PEKIN, Nov. 4. In spite of the formal promises of the Chinese foreign office, there is every indication of a concerted move of Chinese troops in the neighborhood of the capital. It is said that Kang-Yi-Wa, the high Manchu official who was next in rank to the late Prince Kung in the Kullu Tshlu, or council of state, has obtained great influence over the dowager empress. He is bitterly anti-foreign and hopelessly conservative. It is probable that Kang-Yi-Wa is the instigator of the edict re-establishing the bow and arrow exercises for the Chinese soldiers. It is reported that Yuan-Shike-Hal, the Chinese general in command of the foreign drilled troops at Tien-Tsin, and an officer whose power is much dreaded by the dowager empress and her advisers, has received a grant of money, ostensibly for the purpose of increasing the strength of his division to 30,000 men. "If time shows that the dowager empress can rely upon his fidelity," It has been said that Yuan-Shike-Hal might use his troops in conformity with the views of the foreign ministers at Peking. Emperor Frederick to Catholicals. JERUSALEM, Nov. 1. Emperor William, visiting the hospice of St. John and replying to the director's remark that the building stood under the shadow of the emperor, said: "This shadow is cast by the same black and white German shield which is also stretched over the Catholics in the far east who gave their lives and shed their blood in propagating the gospel. To protect them, my brother is now in these regions with the mailed power of the Imperial navy." General Renouard Implied in Superseded. PARIS, Nov. 4. The minister of war, M. de Freycinet, has signed a decree removing General Renouard from the head of the general staff and appointing him to the command of the Eleventh army corps at Nantes. It is suggested that the minister's action was due to General Renouard's attitude in regard to the secret documents in the Dreyfus case. General Frault has been appointed to succeed General Renouard. Someter Into Trouble. BERLIN, Nov. 4. Herr Langen, editor of Imielchenblatt, has been arrested, owing to the publication in that periodical of a poem, entitled "In the Holy Land," ironically congratulating Palestine upon receiving such august visitors as the emperor and empress of Germany and saying "Golgotha will be able to boast not only of hearing the last words from the cross, but the first of Emperor William." Conservatives Score 11 Winning; BERLIN, Nov. 4. The completed returns in the elections for Prussian deputies by the secondary electors give the following result: Bulge; Conservatives, 147; free conservatives, 67; center, 69; reform, 1; national liberals, 74; Freischlagers' union, 10; Freischlagers' people, 24; democrats, 1; farmers' union, 3; Poles, 14; Danes, 2; independent, 1. CUBANS GO OUT ON A STRIKE Get a Few Men In and Fall in Line When They Have a Flood This. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 4. The Cubans who have been employed in cleaning and repairing the streets of Santiago have struck for higher wages, though they have been receiving $1 a day, or 50 cents and two rations higher wages than have ever before been paid for similar work. In fact, local employers of labor have been complaining of this high rate, alleging that it was quite impossible for them to compete with the government on such terms. The Cuban laborers at best are lazy and slipshod. They want an increase of 50 cents a day. General Leonard Wood absolutely refuses to accede to the demand and will adopt heroic measures if the strike is not promptly declared off. The trouble is that many of the strikers have rations enough on hand to last a month or more, and they think they can coerce the United States authorities. General Wood says he will arrest every laborer able to work and under a vagrancy law, which he will establish, compel them to work for thirty days for rations while confined in jail. He dislikes the idea of importing, but thinks this must be the ultimate result. General Wood visited the yellow fever hospital to make an inspection. He found one patient suffering from Bright's disease, but there had not been a case of yellow fever under care for two months. He has severely censured Dr. Duckor, superintendent of the hospital, for making an appeal for American relief stores, and he will probably abolish the hospital altogether at a very early date. Collector Donaldson has returned from Gibara with $40,000 customs receipts at that place. He reports that there is considerable smallpox in the neighborhood of Holguín, but no yellow fever. Colonel Hood's Second Immune regiment is encamped at Gibara in a healthy locality, waiting to occupy Holguín on November 10. General Demetrius Castillo, who is assisting in the work of organizing the military department in that district, is busy engaging men for gendarmerie, accepting men only of good physique. Colonel Ray, who has returned from Guantanamo, says that the Cuban general, Perez, is about to grant indefinite furlough to his men to enable them to go to work, the reason apparently being that many are practically starving and would have gone to work anyhow. The sooner a cough or cold is cured without harm to the sufferer, the better. One Minute Cough Cure quickly cures. Why suffer when such a cough cure is within reach? It is pleasant to the taste. GOOD EQUIPMENT FOR DEWEY Additions to His Fleet Mark Heuionl to Enclose In Eastern Waters. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. Admiral Bunting telegraphed the Navy department today that the cruiser Buffalo, Commander Hemphill, had sailed at noon for the Philippines, via the Suez canal. The gunboat Helena sailed yesterday for the same destination. With these accessions coming immediately upon the heels of Captain Barker's squadron of battleships and colliers, Admiral Dewey will have a formidable fleet, probably second in offensive power to only one European nation, namely, England, in eastern waters. It is not believed, however, that he will have need of all this force and he doubtless will be able to spare some of the vessels which may be in need of repairs to return to Mare island.

Paxon, Gallagher & Co., distributors HARDT AND THE PASS MATTER How the Department of Exhibits Helped Swell Deadheads' Total, FREE ADMISSION SECURED FOR FAVORITES Some Providence in Which People Having No to Them Pull That Into Agency Unjust, That investigation of pass abuses that consistently refrained from discovering anything might have worked to some purpose if a little more careful attention had been paid to the long list of passes that were issued at the request of Superintendent Hart of the Exhibits department. That the pass system was being manipulated for the advantage of persons who had no shadow of right to free admission was apparent to everyone who was familiar with the exposition. It was notorious that hundreds of people were coming through the gates every day on passes to which they were not entitled, but which they had received as personal favors from officials. A large proportion of these came through the Department of Exhibits and it was notorious that an exhibitor who was in favor with the superintendent had no difficulty in securing passes for his friends. Hundreds of people were worked into the grounds all summer in the character of attendants and employees in exhibits when, as a matter of fact, they never even saw the exhibit in which they were alleged to be employed. The result was a material loss to the exposition, while the favored exhibitors indicated their appreciation by raising an extravagant purse for the man who had connived in the conspiracy. Some of the pretexts upon which passes were ordered by Hardt were so flimsy that the fraud was unmistakable. In some cases, Hardt gave the order with full knowledge that the recipient was not entitled to it. For instance, one of the exhibitors in the Liberal Arts wanted a desk to use during the summer. He called on the proprietor of a local furniture establishment and asked him what he would charge for it. The furniture man suggested that he would give him the use of a desk during the exposition if he would get him a season pass under the pretext that he was connected with his exhibit. The exhibitor told Hardt the whole story and asked him what he could do about it. Hardt replied that that would be all right and gave him an order for a pass for the furniture dealer, although he knew that he had no connection with the exhibit and was also well able to pay his way into the grounds. The result was that one man who would otherwise have contributed a number of dollars admission during the summer had free entrance to the grounds and the exhibitor had his space furnished practically at the expense of the exposition. The same exhibitor says that he knows of a dozen others in the same building who were favored in a similar manner, but such irregularities were kindly overlooked by the pass Inspector who was employed to report them. Aided an Agency. The superintendent of exhibits is apparently a firm believer in reciprocity, and his experiences devised numerous schemes by which the principle was applied to the mutual advantage of himself and certain exhibitors. Since Hardt has succeeded in fixing up the report of the committee on awards to meet his own views, the exhibitors are beginning to discover that those who patronized a certain Exhibitors' agency, in which Hardt has been suspected of having an interest, have fared rather better than their neighbors. This agency was organized at the beginning of the exposition at the personal suggestion of Hardt and O.C. Holmes was the ostensible manager. The plan was to secure contracts from exhibitors to take full charge of their exhibits during the summer for a stated compensation. The agency took the goods from the cars, unpacked and installed them, kept the exhibit in good order during the exposition, and then shipped the goods back to the exhibitor. Hardt was the enthusiastic leader for this concern and largely through his influence, it did quite a flourishing business. Now it is alleged that medals have been distributed among the exhibitors who patronized the agency with a lavish impartiality that left nothing to be desired. Just how far this imposition on the remaining exhibitors was carried cannot be discovered. The full list of exhibits that were handled by the agency is in the hands of Mr. Holmes, who declines to give any information on the subject. He says that this is his private business and that he does not propose to provide ammunition that might be used against himself. Gave the Advertising Hack. The two criminal cases brought in Justice Cockrell's court, charging H. B. Hardt, superintendent of the Department of Exhibits, with forgery, have been dismissed. Upon the close of the exposition, H. S. Cochran, representing Scofield, Shumard & Teagle, and H. A. Searles, representing the Monarch Manufacturing company, filed informations in the Justice court, alleging that Hardt had been guilty of forgery. This, that after the judges had filed their report, it was changed by Hardt and awards were made that were not recommended by the said judges. Yesterday the Bureau of Awards of the Department of Exhibits of the exposition changed the awards back until they were in their originally made, giving Cochran three gold medals instead of one gold and one silver medal and Searles one gold, instead of one silver medal, as recommended by Hardt. HUNDRED INDICTMENTS ARE DISMISSED. No Indemnity is Given to the Claimant in Justice Court. The Baby Incubator people, who did business on the East Midway during the exposition, have again secured possession of their Incubators and have turned the babies over to the people to whom they belonged. All during the exposition these people showed babies in glass cases for the purpose of proving to the public that there was a way other than the old way to raise babies. The show attracted thousands of people and proved to be one of the features of the Midway. After it was all over, the employees discovered that they had been spending a portion of their time working for fun, as the proprietor was not inclined to settle and pay their salaries, whereupon the aforesaid employees attached the Incubators and the babies that were in them. The suit was brought in justice court and was to have come on for trial today, but when everything was ready, the aforesaid proprietors died the required bond and again came into possession of the plant, which is still in position on the East Midway. The men who worked for the Baby Incubator concern now feel secure, and are of the opinion that they will get their pay, as the bond that has been filed is regarded as ample security for all of the debts.

Murphy's new treatment for consumptives has apparently worked its first cures. The patients are William B. Furnell and J. C. Edwards, who have been undergoing the treatment for a little over three months. The treatment is that which excited wide interest when presented in a paper read by Dr. Murphy before the American Medical association at Denver this summer. There are now between sixty and seventy patients taking the treatment. The Cook County hospital for consumptives, a charitable institution, with accommodations for 150 patients which will be opened here next week, will try the treatment on an extended scale. TO MAKE OUR WIFE LOVE YOU Buy "Norland" Stoves and Ranges. TURNING BACK THE REFORM WAVE Empress Houmuer breaks all the rules in by the government. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. The decrees of the dowager empress of China, copies of which have been received by the Chinese minister here, show with what a strong hand the empress is directing the affairs of the government and overcoming some of the ultra-reform tendencies of the young emperor which cropped out just before the empress assumed the reins of office. One of the recent edicts restores the ancient departments of Pekin and the governorship of the outlying country which had been abolished not many weeks ago by an edict of the emperor. These places had been presided over by some of the most prominent men of China who had grown gray in the country's service. They were handed down from father to son, and great dignity as well as considerable profit attached to the offices. There was little work for them, however, and following the reform tendencies of the western world against sinecures, the emperor by edict abolished all the offices, bureaus and governorships which he regarded as supernumerary. While this made a considerable saving in the Chinese finances, it stripped many of the venerable offices of China of all their dignity and emoluments. This came so suddenly that much sympathy was aroused for the officials who had been enjoying life tenures up to that time. The dowager now restores the old regime, and in a recent edict the departments throughout the country are placed on the same basis they had been before the emperor's edict. Another edict from the dowager empress directs that the temples be used exclusively for religious rites, and not as schools. The emperor had previously inaugurated a marked reform in directing that many of the old temples throughout the empire be turned into school houses, in order that education might be fostered. But the empress dowager, while upholding the desirability of education, does not want the ancient temples of China turned into school houses if it is possible to secure schools elsewhere. She therefore directs that the temples be used exclusively for worship, except when no school facilities are available elsewhere, or when the temples have been turned to immoral uses. In each case, the action of the empress dowager is a return to the ancient methods of the country, and is accepted with favor by the conservative element as well as by those who desire reforms, so long as they can be brought about without doing violence to the traditions of centuries.

In a good many of the public schools yesterday Lafayette Day exercises were held and a collection taken from among the children. In other of the schools, the collection forms the only celebration. The money that is thus raised is to be turned into a fund secured from school children all over the country, which is to be expended in the erection of a monument over the grave of Lafayette in Paris. The unveiling of the monument is to take place on United States day at the Paris exposition, which is July 4, 1900.

The foreign news having nothing sue- costlvo of war nnd French and English Kovernmont securities bcliiK fractionally Jilghcr at the opening , wheat started at a decline ranging from 6-Su toVic. . That brought the market Immediately unJer tne Influence of puts nnd buying on the seru- rlty afforded by those privileges was a fca- turo of the early trading. Liverpool quota tions came B-8d lower nnd a prlvito culle- pram said there was nothing but a retail demand for wheat In that market , rut quoted the tfii'ling steady at the detilne. Uroomhall reported Argentine crop pros pects unchanged. As the last prevljua re port stated that condltlona were favorable tor a. good vlold the -3ritlno ns dttp- encd the boarlth impression under wn'ch business commenced. Northwest iei.t | > ts xvere liberal , 1,012 loads , as compared wkh S13 for llir > pamo day u year ago , and the nrrlvnls hern were WJ cars , double that of the corresponding day last year. Heavy clearances from the seaboard and n. report from Now York that name wheat offered abroad last night had boon ac- rpptcd worn about the only diversion In favor of the bullo. Small offerings at Liv erpool from Chicago were iilso taken. This was not sulllulent to wako up the despond ent bulls , however , and the bears were left In control of n very small market during the early trading. Later in the day fur ther comfort was given the bulls , when Chicago shippers reported having disposed of a total of 415,000 bu. for export and New York said BO to C5 boatloads had been worked there and at outports. The day's clearances of wheat and Hour from At lantic ports amounted to 945,000 bu. About llfttcn minutes from the close It was an nounced olllclally from Hussln. that this year's wheat crop was 120,000,000 bu. larger than last year nnd that the rrop of rye exceeded that of n your ago by IIS.OOO.COO bu. That offset the effect of the big ohls > - mcnts und prices dropped back near tno low point for the day. December opened C-S'Mio ' lower at Co-'iflCCc , sold at Co % ® 3 7-Sc , rose to CCUi1 , then declined to BBc , buyers , the closing price. Increasing receipts and fine weather for a further enlargement of the movement from first hands burdened corn. There was nlso an absence of foreign demand nnd elevator people sola extensively. Receipts were 551 cars. December begun J,4e lower ut 32c , sold up to 321-Sc , then declined to Bl 7-Sc buyers , the closing price. Oats shared In the apathy which char acterized other grains. There was some Helling by oatmeal manufacturers , but Jluc'tuatlons were of the narrowest kind. Ilecelpts were 271 oars. Ulay started at 217-Sc , improved to 217-Sfi25c , then de clined to 2lc buyers , the closing price. Heavy buying of lard strengthened pro visions early. Later , however , the advance was lost on liquidation by prominent pack ers. It was largely a changing market , traders covering December and selling Jan uary. January pork opened 2'/ic up at $9.10 , declined to $9.05 , advanced to $9.15 , then re- iicted to W.OT.i ! at the close. January lard began 'Jhc higher at $5.03 , Bold off to $3.00 , rose to Jj.10 , then weakened . . to J5.02V4tj 5.05 , the closing ; llgure.

There was some flutter among the shorts In Sugar this nornlng on the report that the American ompany had acquired the entire Hawaiian crop. Operators who had been selling the Block on Ihe benevolent Intimations of an luthorlty In the Hawaiian sugar Industry > f the IOFS Involved In the present rates or salting the rellncd sugar hastened to over their short contracts und rushed the > rlce up H point. The price was sustained vltli dllllcully , whlrh Increased as the day irogrcsscd so that the stock closed with n let loss In spite of the dissemination of Iho rumors thai the company was In a way to secure the Louisiana crop also. Tobacco also , allhough It rose In the early ratling , dropped over 3 points before the lose , which was a net decline of. 2 3-S. The trading In iho specialties wfis hardly ns active an of late and the Federal Steel slocks were also rather neglected and In- lined to heaviness. In the railroad list hero wuro various points of aggressive strength and a broadening tendency. Tim division of business Is somewhat equalized by the falling oft In activity In ho grangers nnd I'aclllcs , especially the alter , the preferred slocks of which did not suffer n single quotallon until some line after the opening of the exchange. On the other hand there was n. notable ncrease of activity In Denver & Rio Grande preferred , which rose over a point on the trength of the conllnucd Increase In earn- ngs , which was over $00,000 for the fourth veek In October and $120,700 for the month.

The - omparative hesitation In the grangers was argoly duo to the Rock Island statement 'or September , which showed an Increase of $ G4,3sl In gross earnings moro than wiped out by the Increased operating expenses. The decision lo dissolve the Joint Trallle association was without effect , that action laving been discounted ns a matter of course.

At the same tlmo there were a goon many II I stale cattle In lirst hands In addi tion I to the large number held by specu lators. Not far from twenty loads of cornfed cattle ( were reported on sale , and , as the demand was gcoi. ' , desirable lots changed hands 1I 1 early at good , strong prices. Among the 1I I offerings were IL few right good cattle that I sold at $5.00ft5.10. Undesirable and half-fat or rough sluff as n. matter of course did not move off HO very readily , but 1 still the market as a whole was entlicly satisfactory a. " regards the corn cattle. There was also a good demand for grass beef \ at fully steady prlcea. but the supply was i small. if Cows and hclfeis vero in such small supply that there were nardly enough to make i a test of the market. It Is safe to say , however , that values were not ma terially changed as compared with y-stcr- day and the day before. There appeared to be a. very fair demand for good killers , especially lor anything on the helferish order that was fat and of good quality. The situation in the feeder market was rther peculiar , in that salesmen were dif fering widely In their opinions. Ono seller would report the market as a little moro acllvo and Ihe next one would-call it Hat. In one way they were both right. If a seller had something that happened to strike the cyo ot a country buyer heould In some cases get more money than ho may have been offered by speculators the day before. On the oilier hand , specu lators had a good many slalo eattlu on hand and were not anxious to take on many moro at the end ot the week , o that If a seller was not fortunate In having what some country buyer wanted ho found it in many cases almost Impossible to get a bid. As a matter of course It was the good cattle that were most sought after , but still there were gt > od cattle in the yards that were hard to sell. When it came to common cattle they wore almost unsilable , ns no one. wanted them , and no one would make a bid. While it Is no easy matter at a time like the present to tell how much lower the market Is from day today , It Is safe to say that feeders are 25B35c lower than last week and in extreme cases possibly worse than that. . For example , speculators would offer $3.50 for such cattle as sellers claimed to have sold last week at $3.85fl3.90. Kven at the decline the. movement was very slow and It took a long time to dispose o a. very few cattle. Representative sales : STEERS. No. Av. rr. No. Av. IT. No. Av.

It was , however. 11 fair avrage run for a Friday. The market opened fairly active at prices that were strong to 5c higher , and the bulk of the early arrivals changed hands In good season. Salesmen as a rule were all trying to get a Cc advance , but an buy-m were n little backward about pulling on qullo lhal much In all cases tint trade wan hardly as active as It might otherwise have been. Heavy hogs sold very largely on iho early market al J1.50 , and medium weights right around $ ' 1.55 , with light lomls principally at $3.55f < 3.67H. The lat-r trains Mild at about the same prices us were paid in th ? morning , though , as Is very apt 10 bu the cano after the more urgent orders nru tilled , it was not quite t > o easy to get the full extent of the advance on the last arrivals. As will be noted from tin ( able of aver- age prices totlay advanc > went u long way toward wiping out the decline In valu's thl * . week and Iho market Is now back again about where It was on Friday of last week Monday was th high day of the w rk t"i far and Wednesday the low day thu dU- SHRI3P Ther ? xvns a very modern t" run today of all kinds , still there wan n little of everything In the pens' . The murkfi opened slow and was at no time very notlve. A bunch of western yearlings , the same that sold lust week at $1.25 and $1.30. brought $1.00 today , Hhowlng In n. pretty clear way the amount of declining on that kind of stuff since last week. While , us already remarked , the market was not very active , killers appeared to want wlmt there was here und about everything that was desira ble sold In good sen > on. In some cases sellers who had fenders thought they were able to s < 11 out u little more readily than yesterday , but the imirk-t as a whole was not much rhnngrd from what It was yesterday on feeders or stock sheep and lambs. < i nt-i < , , , . | ( ! is [ Oood qrnss westerns , $4.10574.20 ; fair to good , $4.0iWl.lO : choir , yearlings.

PRICES BACK TO LOW POINT OF SESSION December Wheat Close Half a Cent Lower Corn Steady, Three-Kentucky of a Stable of a Stable Condition a Simple CHICAGO, Nov. 4. When Russia's enormous wheat crop was officially announced today, the significant foreign demand and everything else of a bullish nature dropped out of sight and prices dropped back to the low point of the session. December wheat traded 2 1/2 cents lower than last night's prices. Corn lost 3 1/2 cents. Data declined 1/4 cent. Pork and ribs remained unchanged and lard was a shade lower. The foreign news having nothing substantial of war and French and English Government securities being fractionally higher at the opening, wheat started at a decline ranging from 6 1/2 to 8 cents. That brought the market immediately under the influence of puts and buying on the security afforded by those privileges was a feature of the early trading. Liverpool quotations came 3 1/2 cents lower and a private cablegram said there was nothing but a retail demand for wheat in that market, but quoted the trading steady at the decline. Roomhall reported Argentine crop prospects unchanged. As the last previous report stated that conditions were favorable for a good yield, the slight improvement the board heard under which business commenced. Northwest receipts were liberal, 1,012 loads, as compared with 813 for the corresponding day last year, and the arrivals were 2,143 cars, double that of the corresponding day last year. Heavy clearances from the seaboard and a report from New York that name wheat offered abroad last night had been accepted worn about the only diversion in favor of the bull. Small offerings at Liverpool from Chicago were also taken. This was not sufficient to wake up the despondent bulls, however, and the bears were left in control of a very small market during the early trading. Later in the day further comfort was given the bulls, when Chicago shippers reported having disposed of a total of 415,000 bu. for export and New York said 60 to 65 boatloads had been worked there and at outports. The day's clearances of wheat and flour from Atlantic ports amounted to 945,000 bu. About fifteen minutes from the close it was announced officially from St. Petersburg, that this year's wheat crop was 120,000,000 bu. larger than last year and that the crop of rye exceeded that of a year ago by 15,000,000 bu. That offset the effect of the big sales and prices dropped back near the low point for the day. December opened 3 1/2 cents lower at 40 1/2c, sold at 39 3/4c, rose to 39 1/2c, then declined to 38 1/2 cents buyers, the closing price. Increasing receipts and fine weather for a further enlargement of the movement from first hands burdened corn. There was also an absence of foreign demand and elevator people sold extensively. Receipts were 551 cars. December began 1 1/4 cent lower at 32c, sold up to 32 1/2c, then declined to 31 7/8 cents buyers, the closing price. Oats shared in the apathy which characterized other grains. There was some selling by oatmeal manufacturers, but quotations were of the narrowest kind. Receipts were 271 cars. Clay started at 22 5/8c, improved to 22 5/8c, then declined to 22 1/4 cents buyers, the closing price. Heavy buying of lard strengthened provisions early. Later, however, the advance was lost on liquidation by prominent packers. It was largely a changing market, traders covering December and selling January. January pork opened 2 1/2 cents up at $9.10, declined to $9.05, advanced to $9.15, then rejected to $9.07 at the close. January lard began higher at $5.03, sold off to $3.00, rose to $5.10, then weakened to $5.02 1/2 at the close. January ribs started unchanged at $1.57, sold at $1.65, up to $1.70, then back to $1.67 1/4 at the close.

There was some flutter among the shorts in Sugar this morning on the report that the American company had acquired the entire Hawaiian crop. Operators who had been selling the Block on the benevolent intimations of an authority in the Hawaiian sugar industry, of the profits involved in the present rates for selling the refined sugar, hastened to cover their short contracts and rushed the price up 1 point. The price was sustained with difficulty, which increased as the day progressed so that the stock closed with a net loss in spite of the dissemination of the rumors that the company was in a way to secure the Louisiana crop also. Tobacco also, although it rose in the early trading, dropped over 3 points before the close, which was a net decline of 2 3-S. The trading in the specialties was hardly as active as of late and the Federal Steel stocks were also rather neglected and inclined to heaviness. In the railroad list there were various points of aggressive strength and a broadening tendency. The division of business is somewhat equalized by the falling off in activity in the grangers and Pacifics, especially the latter, the preferred stocks of which did not suffer a single quotation until some time after the opening of the exchange. On the other hand, there was a notable increase of activity in Denver & Rio Grande preferred, which rose over a point on the strength of the continued increase in earnings, which was over $600,000 for the fourth week in October and $120,700 for the month. The southern roads were also uniformly strong, notable gains being registered by Louisville on belief of an early resumption of dividends and Southern Railway referred and Mobile & Ohio on good traffic returns. There were excellent statements of earnings for the fourth week in October also from the Wabash, Central, Norfolk & Western, Chesapeake & Ohio, Missouri Pacific, Chicago Great Western, Lake Erie & Western and other railroads and a strong statement for September from Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis. The comparative hesitation in the grangers was largely due to the Rock Island statement for September, which showed an increase of $64,351 in gross earnings more than wiped out by the increased operating expenses. The decision to dissolve the Joint Traffic association was without effect, that action having been discounted as a matter of course. The bond market showed a large demand, embracing a wide variety of Issues, the 4 percent bonds of reorganized roads consisting the favorites. The Union Pacific took front rank in this class today, crossing the Northern Pacific prior to Hens and closing at 101 1-S. Total sales, $1,075,000. United States 5s, coupon, advanced 4 percent and the new 4s, registered, 1-S percent on the bid price. The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: After a comparatively dull opening in the stock markets there was a general improvement and prices closed quiet at the top. The upward movement was led by consols. The feeling tonight is very cheerful. Should political developments be as satisfactory as anticipated, the present movement in stocks would be justified; otherwise there will be a sharp reaction. Americans were good. Southern railway stocks were especially favored by New York, the continent and London. South American stocks were good but Spanish 4s were lower on the deadlock in the peace negotiations. Copper shares were booming, Rio Tintos and Anaconda being in special demand.

Crude Wool Market. Boston, Nov. 4. The Boston Commercial Bulletin will say tomorrow of the wool market: Wool has been selling very freely at the prices which dealers accepted two weeks ago. The chief sales have been in territories, on which buyers have obtained concessions. The sales of the week are 6,200,100 lbs. domestic and 361,000 lbs. foreign, against a total of 9,800,000 lbs. last week and 7,313,600 lbs. for the same week last year. The sales to date show a decrease of 110,309,100 lbs. domestic and 163,451,200 lbs. foreign from the sales to the same date in 1887. The receipts show a decrease of 223,110 bales domestic and 390,130 bales foreign. New York Dry Goods Market. New York, Nov. 4. Business in the dry goods market today was not above the recent average proportions and in other respects without any new feature of material importance. The demand for bleached cotton continued light. Special spring lines of cotton goods were in request, but prices did not suit buyers. Fine printed fabrics were selling well under orders without the larger buyers operating upon an extended scale. There was no business in regular print cloths reported today. The market continued steady on the basis of 2c for spectacles. Oil Market. Oil City, Nov. 4. Clearances opened at $1.19 bid, closed offered $1.18½4.85 3-4. Sales, 2,000 bbls., cash, at $1.19.

A terrific explosion at 10:15 : last night was heard throughout the three counties of Muskingum, Morgan, and Guernsey. The shock rocked buildings in this city like an earthquake. So far, however, all efforts to discover whence the shock originated have proved futile. That it was something other than a quaking of the earth seems certain, from the very distant report like the firing of a cannon, which preceded a long reverberating rumble. Body Found in Hotel. Cleveland, Nov. 4. A man apparently about 60 or 63 years of age, who registered at the Jefferson hotel a day or two ago as John Jones of Boston, Mass., was found dead in his room late last night. An empty vial, labeled chloral hydrate, accompanied by a note, told the story of a suicide. The note was as follows: "My name is Smith, and I live in Boston. I am a brass moulder by trade. Am out of work; let the grave digger do the real. " MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 1. A special to the Journal from Spokane, Wash., says the mayor declared an emergency and issued a proclamation enrolling all persons over 21 years of age as special constables to assist in arresting the robbers who have been rampant lately, A reward of $500 is offered for the conviction of any one of the robbers.

At the same time there were a good many I state cattle in first hands in addition to the large number held by speculators. Not far from twenty loads of corned cattle were reported on sale, and, as the demand was good, desirable lots changed hands early at good, strong prices. Among the offerings were a few right good cattle that sold at $5.00-$5.10. Undesirable and half-fat or rough stuff as a matter of course did not move off so very readily, but still the market as a whole was sufficiently satisfactory as regards the corned cattle. There was also a good demand for grass beef at fully steady prices, but the supply was small. As cows and heifers were in such small supply that there were scarcely enough to make a test of the market, It is safe to say, however, that values were not materially changed as compared with yesterday and the day before. There appeared to be a very fair demand for good killers, especially for anything on the heiferish order that was fat and of good quality. The situation in the feeder market was rather peculiar, in that salesmen were differing widely in their opinions. One seller would report the market as a little more active and the next one would call it flat. In one way they were both right. If a seller had something that happened to strike the eye of a country buyer he could in some cases get more money than he may have been offered by speculators the day before. On the other hand, speculators had a good many stale cattle on hand and were not anxious to take on many more at the end of the week, so that if a seller was not fortunate in having what some country buyer wanted he found it in many cases almost impossible to get a bid. As a matter of course, it was the good cattle that were most sought after, but still there were good cattle in the yards that were hard to sell. When it came to common cattle they were almost unsalable, as no one wanted them, and no one would make a bid. While it is no easy matter at a time like the present to tell how much lower the market is from day to day, it is safe to say that feeders are 25-35c lower than last week and in extreme cases possibly worse than that. For example, speculators would offer $3.50 for such cattle as sellers claimed to have sold last week at $3.85-$3.90. Even at the decline, the movement was very slow and it took a long time to dispose of a very few cattle. Representative sales: STEERS.

It was, however, a fair average run for a Friday. The market opened fairly active at prices that were strong to 5c higher, and the bulk of the early arrivals changed hands in good season. Salesmen as a rule were all trying to get a 5c advance, but many were a little backward about pulling on quality that much. In all cases, the trade was hardly as active as it might otherwise have been. Heavy hogs sold very largely on the early market at $1.50, and medium weights right around $1.55, with light hogs principally at $3.55 to $3.67. The later trains sold at about the same prices as were paid in the morning, though, as is very apt to be the case, it was not quite to easy to get the full extent of the advance on the last arrivals. As will be noted from the table of average prices today, advance went a long way toward wiping out the decline in values this week and the market is now back again about where it was on Friday of last week. Monday was the high day of the week to far and Wednesday the low day. SHRIMP There was a very modern to run today of all kinds, still there was a little of everything in the pens. The market opened slow and was at no time very notable. A bunch of western yearlings, the same that sold last week at $1.25 and $1.30, brought $1.00 today, showing in a pretty clear way the amount of declining on that kind of stuff since last week. While, as already remarked, the market was not very active, killers appeared to want what there was here and about everything that was desirable sold in good season. In some cases, sellers who had feeders thought they were able to sell out a little more readily than yesterday, but the market as a whole was not much changed from what it was yesterday on feeders or stock sheep and lambs.
