UNION PACIFIC SALE.
fiecetver Andemon Objects to the Central
I'acinc llt me: Disposed of Separately.
Hashiktox, Feb. 21. Mr. Ander
son, a receiver of the Union Pacific
railroad, and ex-Congressman Coombs,
a government director, appeared be
fore the house committee on Pccific
railroad to-day. They asked that the
Union and Central Pacific roads be put
up for sale as a whole and given to
the highest bidder. Mr. Anderson
submitted au amendment to the bill
presented to the committee by him,
providing for the issue of patents to
the several roads. The Union Pacific,
he s-aid, had used the proceeds of the
aie of land for the payment of in
terest on bonds; what was done with
the money secured from the bonds he
did not know. The Union Pacific
was very much misunderstood as
to its financial ability, for, ihough
it was insolvent. It had been
able to jmy every bill for operating
expenses. The proposition to sell the
properties in separate parts was not
good. They should be sold as a whole,
and in that way would bring a much
higher price than otherwise. All
propositions for any other solution
tiian a sale, he said, would meet with
opposition from Congress, for however
meritorious they might be, it was im
possible to secure a unanimity of opin
ion from so large abody.
.Vr. Coombs agreed with the propo
sition that the roads should be sold
together and carry out the original
plan that they should be a through line
from the Missouri river to the Pacific
The government would probably ob
tain 575.000, GOO from them. It might
be well, he said, for the government
to protect itself by making an upset
price. It would also be well to bring
those persons owning terminal facili
ties into the suit to settle the question
whether the. terminals should be sold
with the road. The government
should not sell its lien upon the prop
erties. If we can rid ourselves of this
railroad scandal, he said, the value of
our s-tocks all over the world would
appreciate.

able to give the commission to-day.
His address was in support of the bill
for the government of the territory.
A concerted effort to defeat the
measure appears to be making pro

the. Indians and. the commissioners
alike that he would sign any measure
which came to him preserving the gen
eral features of the bill tentatively
submitted by the Dawes commission.
Acting upon that information, the
Indian lobby is manifesting the strong

FOR
That Iteing the Amount Needed to Ren
der Successful the Coming Trans-Mississippi
Exposition A Conference with
Senator Thnrston Advice as to How
to Enhance the Project.
The Trans-Misslsslppl Exposition.
Omaha, Feb. 21. At the request of a
committee of the Trans-Mississippi and
International Exposition company a
number of business men of Omaha
gathered at the Commercial club rooms
to confer with Senator Thurston re
garding the best means of expediting
legislation necessary to promote the
success of the exposition. .Vice Presi
dent G. W. Wattles of the Union Na
tional bank presided. Senator Thnrs
ton and a number of leading business
men of Omaha were present.
Chairman Wattles said that consider
able progress had been made toward
securing the endorsement of the
scheme. Among the bodies that had
announced themselves in faTor of it
were the Nebraska Press association,
the beet sugar convention of Nebraska,
the various labor unions of Nebraska
and the Iowa legislature. He 6tated
that the matter was now before the na
tional legislature, having been intro
duced in both the senate and the house.
He said that the action of the Trans
Mississippi congress had started the
ball a-rolling, and that wherever the
plan had been mentioned it met with
instant favor. He said that great ad
vantages had come to the south through
the Atlanta exposition. He was sure
immigration and capital would be at
tracted to the western states by the ex
position proposed.
Senator Thurston, who is chairman
of the senate committee having the bill
in hand, said that he came to the meet
ing for the purpose of learning the de
sire of the Omaha people in regard to
the exposition more than to speak on the
matter himself. He said that he was
glad he was chairman of the committee
to which the senate bill was referred,
since he would have the opportunit3r of
giving it his personal attention. He
thought the disposition of congress was
to give the exposition just about the
same amount of aid that was given to
Atlanta.
"You will understand," said he, "the
government of the United States is not
in the exposition business. All it does
is to attend to the government exhibit.
It provides for the formation of such
exhibits, its transportation, the em
ployment of officials to look after it
and the erection and maintenance of a
building in which it may be housed.
That's all the aid that can be expected.
Of course, the Columbian exposition was
of national character and received more
support."
Senator Thurston said that what he
desired especially to know was the
amount of money the business men
thought best to request. He said that
an appropriation sufficient to insure
success should be askedior, lest serious
criticism of the bill be challenged. He
thought that it might be wise to pass
the bill through the senate, with the
amount of the appropriation left blank.
The endorsement of the senate would
have weight with the house. Later
the senate would concur with the house
on any reasonable amount that the lat
ter might suggest. He recommended
securing endorsement from as many
states as possible and suggested that
prominent men in other western states
be asked to write to their representa
tives in congress concerning the enter
prise. "There is a disposition all
through the country favorable to any
thing that the west may ask for in
order to help itself. I've sounded sen
timent regarding it pretty thoroughly,
and can safely say that there wilt be no
serious objection encountered. " i
Z. T. Lindsey spoke of the trip to
Iowa. He said that the people there
were as enthusiastic regarding it as
were the Nebraskans. "There is no
question but that every business man
and property owner in this region is
back of it with all his might." i
Mr. Rosewater recommended that
S250.000 be asked for. He said that if
as much aid was secured as was given '
Atlanta there would be no doubt that
the Omaha exposition would be a much
greater success. He declared that the
exposition would be the greatest thing
for Nebraska since it became a 6tate. I
He urged active work all along the line,
and especally from now until the pas
sage of the bill, which must be secured
before the adjournment of congress.
He predicted that the moment the bill
became a law the value of Omaha prop
erty would go up 2.1 per cent.
' Senator Thurston thought that the
limit of the appropriation should be
fixed at $200,000. He said that there
was a great demand for keeping down :
the expenses of the government this
year, and that it was best to ask for a
conservative amount at this time.
Mr. Lindsey said that the trans-Mississippi
region was an empire of twenty
four states, and that the Omaha exposi
tion would completely outshine the ex
position of the Cotton States. He
Thought that Nebraska's representa
tives were proceeding upon an errone
ous assumption when they considered
that the exposition of 189s was to be on
the level with that held at Atlanta.
He urged an appropriation of S.100,000.
L. II. Hradley favored a small appro
priation at this time, but wanted the
limit of the government's appropria
tion set at 8500,000. He thought that
but few present realized the great
scope of the exposition.
Senator Thurston said, "This is the
experience I've had with the gentle
men of Omaha. They don't like to play
to a small limit."
A vote on the amount of the appro
priation to be asked for was almost
unanimous in deciding on 2.10,000.
Congress will be asked to appropriate
$50,000 of this amount at once.
The Pope Approves a Decree of Divorce.
Halifax, N. S., Feb. 21. A decree
of divorce, approved by Pope Leo, the
first of its kind ever recorded in Cana
da, has been granted to John Keefe,
separating him Irom his wife on tbe
ground of infidelity on the part of the
woman. Much interest is excited by
the concession from Rome, as never
before has a divorce been recognized
in this country by a Roman Catholic
authority. The decree granted Keefe
is not only one of separation, but it
permits a remarriage. A legal disso
lution of the marriage has also been
obtained from the Supreme court.
A Message About Shoes.
When Senator Stephen Ii. Elk ins was
in Philadelphia the other day he told
an interesting story of his election to
his present seat. "I was sitting in my
study at my country home," said he,
"awaiting the returns that would tell
me whether or not I had been chosen
to take the place of Senator Camden.
The operator at the telegraph station
had orders to open all telegrams ad
dressed to me, and to telephone their
contents to me immediately. Suddenly
the telephone rang, and the children's
governess, who answered the 'phone,
came to me and told me the person at
the other end of the wire was saying
something about 'shoes,' she couldn't
quite make it out. Oh, said I, 'it's my
wife's shoemaker, probably. Tell "him
to let the matter rest until tomorrow. '
She delivered the message, but returned
shortly to say that the man insisted
upon talking to me. I went to the tel
ephone. It was the telegraph opera
tor, and the message he was trying to
send me was: 'Whin shall I send you
my shoes? Johnson R. Camden.' Then
I knew that I had been chosen to fill
the shoes of that worthy gentleman.

"Yes, I know them when I see

"I have a passing acquaintance with

Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.
A well-known New York financier,
who recently made a business and
pleasure trip through Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory, in a letter to a
friend gives some very interesting data
and information relative to "The Land
of the Fair God." He says, in part:
'When I recall my experiences, while in
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, it
seems to me to be more like a dream
than a reality. I never was more fa
vorably impressed with a people, and
the resources of the country are truly
wonderful.
"Before making this trip I was im
bued with the idea, so prevalent among
the people of the east, that this terri
tory have little in common with the in
terests of our people, and was a place
fitted more by nature for an abode for
the red man and a rendezvous for out
laws than a home for a civilized and
Christian people. A personal investi
gation and inspection of the country
early dispelled this idea, and I found
that nine-tenths of the sensational arti
cles of outlawry and other tragedies
credited to that country eminated alone
from the fertile brain of some over-enthusiastic
newspaper correspondent.
"The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas systems of
railroads each lead into and across this
country, and the great amount of cattle,
hogs, wheat, cotton and other produce
shipped out from there evidences the
fact of the fertility of the soil and the
productiveness of the country.
"The Indian Territory is rich in its
mineral lands and coal fields, and these
Industries are only in their infancy,
while the cheapness of the land and
rich soil over the greater part of Okla
homa offers inducements to capitalists
as well as the farming and laboring
class of our people.
"There Is still some fair hunting in
the Kechl hills, southwest of Anni
darko and in the Gloss mountains, and
the streams are well supplied with fish.
"Crop prospects are exceptionally
good, and undoubtedly the coming sea
son will see a large emigration from tha
east to that country."

Spoiling: Potatoes.
In a bulletin issued by Prof. Snyder
of the Minnesota State Agricultural
college he makes a point of interest to
the housewife. He shows that where
potatoes are peeled and started to boil
ing in cold water there is a loss of 80
per cent of the total albumen, and
where they are not peeled and started
in hot water this loss is reduced to 2 !
per cent. A bushel of potatoes weigh- j
ing sixty pounds, containing about two t
pounds of total nitrogenous compounds '
when properly cooked one-half pound
is lost, containing six-tenths of a
pound of the most valuable proteids. :
It requires all of the protein from
nearly two pounds of round beefsteak
to replace the loss of protein from im- ;
properly boiling a bushel of potatoes. I

Disaster in a Coal Mine.
Newcastle, Feb. CoL, 20. An un
known number of men are dead as the
result of a terrible explosion that oc
curred in the Vulcan mine, one of the
coal properties of the Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe Railway company,
at 11:20 yesterday forenoon. Usually
seventy-five men are employed in the
mine, but less than this number were
at work when the explosion occurred
yesterday. There is little doubt that
all who were at work are dead.
The number of victims cannot now
be accurately stated, estimates run
ning from fifty to seventy. Those
best informed think the number is
very likely between fifty-five and
sixty. The excitement at present is
so intense that efforts to secure a
complete list are useless.
The only man who got out of the
mines at the time of the explosion
was Edward Welch, who was near the
mouth of the tunnel and was blown
out. His tkull was fractured, arm
broken, the face badly cut and burned
and all the hair burned from his head.
He was breathing when found, but
expired shortly after without showing
consciousness. The miners who es
caped direct death from the explosion
must have been quickly suffocated by
gas, as all means of ventilation were
cut off.
The first news of the disaster was a
report as from 100 cannon. People
rushed out of their homes and places
of business to see what had happened
and one look toward the Vulcan mine
was sufficient, for a dense cloud of
smoke issuing from the mouth of the
slope told the tale of death. A throng
of people was soon at the scene of dis
aster, a distance of nearly two miles
from Newcastle. A glance was enough
to dissipate any hope for the lives of
the entombed men. The force of the
explosion had caused a cave-in and the
tunnel and air courses were filled with
the fallen rock, earth and timbers.
Both fan houses were wrecked and the
slope and vicinity were so full of the
debris and the gas was so bad that it
was hard and dangerous work to
begin the rescue.
Nevertheless, willing hands were
soon at work and five men went down
as far as possible to ascertain the con
dition of the slope and found it such
that it will require great labor to re
cover the bodies of the miners. The
gas was so bad that after the party
had gotten 200 feet they were com
pelled to return.
As soon as the news of the explosion
reached Newcastle, Superintendent
Paul lilount closed the mines of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company, and,
taking his miners, left for the Vulcan
mines, where all are actively at work
aiding in the attempts at rescue.
There are two shafts in addition to
the one in which the explosion took
place. In the upper of these two the
rescuers are in about 300 feet and it is
through this that the air can be forced
into some of the rooms, but none of
those in the mine have come out, and
it is feared that this is conclusive evi
dence that all are dead.
The cause of the explosion is not yet
known. The coal fields in which the
Vulcan mine is located have been
troubled with subterranean gases for
many years. In many places over an
urea of eighty to 100 miles smoke has
issued from crevices in the rocks since
the country was first known to white
men, and in later years more than one
valuable coal mine has been destroyed
by fire breaking inio the workings. A
little over a year ago the mines of the
Vulcan company had to be flooded on
this account, and the old workings
have never been reopened. The drift
where yesterday's accident occurred
was a new one. It is thought the dis
aster may have been caused by the
breaking into an immense pocket of
gas, generated by these everlasting
fires. On February 8, State Coal Mine
Inspector Griffith inspected the mine
and pronounced it in splendid condi
tion ana the work
