About 5 o'cloclt the first entrance to the

Suddenly thoie came a crash and the

THE UEK. | The February report of Chair
man Fnlthorn of the \Vcstorn Freight as
sociation shows figures on Omaha shipments
which have raised a commotion among the
Chicago roads. It shows , for instance , that
the Chicago. St. Paul & Kansas City , In con-
ncctlon With the Omaha ft St. Louts road ,
Is taking more coarse grain from Omaha to
Chicago than all the ether Omaha lines put
together. This In splto of the fact that this
road Is 700 miles long between the two
points , whllo the average mileage of the
other roads Is but 183 miles. The figures
nro ns follows on coarse grain : Burlington ,
10,750 tons ; Northwestern , : i,300 tona ; St.
Paul , 1,3)5 ! ; Hock Island , ti.CC : ) ; Chfcago , St.
Paul & Kansas City , 13,141. On account of
tlio difference In mileage tlio other railroads
claim Iho Kansas City road has no business
competing for Omaha business , and the ilir-
urcs show that nil the other business it took
was a consignment of sheep weighing
but forty.llva trfns. In spite of Ibis ,
howcvor , the Kansas Gltv roads shows the
second highest cast hound shipment from
Omalia on nil classes of freight for the
month. As shown Its tolal Is 13,195 tons , the
13urllngton being S..S'l , whllo the North-
weslorn has 12'JSl Ions , Iho St. Paul 10'337
tons and the Hock Island 1.ST7. 'tho other
roads threaten the direst kind of vengeance
on the Kansas City , claiming it Is
taxing tniflle at any rate , regard
less of the tariff. It Is not
ntnll likely , however , that this Individ
ual instance will bo picked on ns the basis of

FIXED.
A Reduction Which Will Average
Mora Thnii Fllty Per Cent.
WASHINGTON , March 17. The republican
members of the ivays and means committee
have finally reached an agreement upon the
sugar schedule. They agreed to make
raw sugar from 10 Dutch standard ,
down dutiable nt 33 per cent nd
valorem , nnd refined sugar above the Dutcli
standard , duuabla at 40 per cent ad valorem.
This Is equivalent to a GO per cent reduction
on many grades of sugar and to moro than
CO per cent on others. The reduction will
average a cut of above 50 per cent and will
reduce the revenue from ? . > 5,000.000 to $23-
000,000. There Is no provision for the pay
ment of any bounty whatever.
The cut in sugar duly which will thus bo
made is moro than two nnd n half times that
proposed bv the Mills bill and the duty will
be collected on Iho vuluo and not upon the
pound us heretofore.
Iho duly given lo refineries Is only C per
cent more than that given to raw sugar , us
11 } or below will admit two grades of inor-
chantnblo sugar lit for domestic uses. It Is
hoped nnd bcllevod that this will tuko away
from tlio roil tiers the poivcr to rulsa the
price to the consumer at will.
The republicans regard this heavy rcdue-
tlou of sugardutlcs1 as a most generous con
cession tn western sentiment.
' 1 ho rate fixed is 4nwer thun the rate fixed
by the scuato larlll bill und Is moreover frno
frem Iho objection raised against the
somua bill , viz. , the bounty clause. The sec-
ale bill made n reduction of CO per cent
and gave n bounty of 1 cent a pound , The

Tboro was n ctrnferonco this afternoon
between Hoproscntatlvo Dorscy , Stale
Auditor Uoiiton and Charles Francis
Adams , the president of tha Union Pacific
railway company , on the subject , Mr.
Adams stated that ho had just re
turned from Cubit nnd was Ignorant
of the real condiliori of affairs which had
worked such a wonderful depression In the
corn market for Nebraska producers. Ho
listened with great patience lo a long Dre-
scntation of Iho condition of affairs by
Auditor Denton , who represented Iho Lin
coln board of trade and tbo farmers .of
Nebraska , and at the conclusion of it stated
that ho was somewhat surprised to find such
n distressed condition of the market nnd
that ho would bo very glad to
do what ho could in his official
capacity to afford relief. Ho said ho could
not answer for the Unloa Pacific connoclions
cast of the Missouri river the Northwest
ern system but so far as tlio Union Pacific
was concerned ho could say positively that
they would favor cutting the rates ono-half.
Ho said that ho would at ones Issue instruc
tions to General Solicitor Thurston lo ap
pear bcforo Iho tariff board and recommend
a restriction of 00 per coat ; that
ho would see that the true
condition of affairs was properly
presented lo Iho people in Chicago , and
would recommend the same reduction as tha
Union Pacific would make. Mr. Adams
said that ho believed It was. n business obli
gation devolving upon the Union Pacific to
help out the farmers ir. emergencies like
Ibis , where Iho market was depressed by an
over production and what threatened to bo
disproporltonnio lanff rales. Ho took the
position that a cut of the freight rates would
not afford material relief to the produccra ,
but oaid that ho was very willing to do what
his corporation should do and make ut least
a temporary roJuction ot ono-half the regu
lar rato.
Tonicht Messrs. Dorsey and lianton weat
lo New York , where tomorrow they will
present the state of affairs to ether repre
sentatives of tha Union Pacific ; also to the
Chicago ft Northwestern and ottfor roads di
rectly connected with the great corn output
of Nftrashn. They uro very mtich pleased
over the success of tholr interview with Mr.
Adnmn today and helluva that within a few
days the corn producers of Nebraska will pay
but holf-tho-preseDt rates to maritct their
productions.
THE SILVER J1ILI , .
The consideration of the silver bill is al
most completed by the house committee on
coinage , weights and measures. ' During the
week it is the intention of the chairman to
have n special meeting , when final action
will bo taken. There will probably bo Iwo
or Ihreo nmendmenls made to the bill , but
they are of minor impoitancc. The Win-
dom bill originally provided for the coinage
of $4,500.000 per month , and gave the secre
tary of the treasury discretionary power to
fauspond coinage whenever ho deemed
it advisable for the interests of
the government. The bill , as it
will bo reported to the house
probably on next. Monday , will provide for
practically unlimited free comugo. U will
uot contain Iho section giving the secretary
power to suspend tha purchase of bullion ,
but will provide that whenever and as long
ns 3712-1 grains of pure silver are worth ? 1 in
Iho open market Iho United States minis of
the country shall be open to frco and un
limited coinage. Senators Jones and Stewart
of Nevada , Teller of Colorado , and other
advocates of frco coinage lu the upper
branch of congress , and Mr. Carter of Mon
tana , who Is Iho representative silver man
of the house , say this measure will bo
entirely satlsfaclory lo the silver intcroals.
Ho believes lhat there Is very llttla If any
doubt of the ultimata adoption of tlio measure -
uro by both houses of congress within two
or three months. Today your correspondent
asked Mr. Lacey , the comptroller of the cur
rency , when ho expected legislation upon the
subject of national bank circulation , nnd ho
replied : "Not till nftor the Windom silver
hill U disposed of nnd the necessities of
ucllon relating to Iho dislrcssed condition of
national banning arc known. As soon as
the Windom bill is ndoplod , and I urn confi
dent it will bo adopted , the men who
hosilhlo In voting for legislation for na
tional banks , will , I ihinlc , no longer hcsl-
lalo lo act. Thcro is a delicacy upon the
part of men representing agricultural dis
tricts to vole for national bank legislation
before Ihcy vole for something intended to
give a larger volume of currency which will
not bo circulated through Iho banks. 1 do
not think there is any doubt lhat the bill
giving banks 10 per cent more circulation"
upon their bonds deposited anil reducing to
SI,000 for each bunlc the amount of circula
tion which must bo issued , will bo passed
within ninety days , but of course in saying
this I anticipate tlio final adoption of Iho
frco coinage bill before that time. "

THE INTBHKATlNAI , CONGlinSS.
The international American conference
will tomorrow lake up for consldcrallon the
report of tha committee on communication
on Iho Gulf of Maximo nnd the Cnrrlbcan
sea , which recommends the establishment
of two lines of steamships from tlio gulf
porls to the northern coast of Central und
South America. A plan has boon laid before
fore the committee by tbo proprietor of the
steamships lhat run between Tampa , Fla.f
nnd Havana , Cuba , who proposes to put on a
weekly line from Tampa to the northern
coast , which will bring Now York und Chicago
cage within flvo daya f the isthmus , and in
the report the comraittoo says : 'Tho dls-
tanco from ChlcagOf St. Louis and Cincin
nati and ether great Cities of the west to
Tampa is about the same n3 from Now York
to Tampa and as from thosa cities to
New Yorir , and the railway con
nections are such that a letter
from Chicago via Tampa lo the ports or the
Curriboan sea would have the snino ailvnn-
lago of snccd and transportation as a letter
from New York , tind freight from the
woslurn cillcs for-suah porls would bo car
ried by rail to Tampa na quickly and as
cheaply as 10 Now Yprk. The distance from
Tampa to Colon , taking that port as nn
illustration , both as to time and mileage , is
much leas than from Now York , the time
being llvo and orio-lialf days , whlln the
steamers In present u o between Now York
and Colon make tha journey in from eight to
nlno days. It could not bo expected that the
cxporlors of Now York wo'uld avail them
selves of this advantage of lime In Iho ship
ment of heavy merchandise , for the cost
would bo much greater if sent part by
rail , but for mail and passengers
it would bo found > very convenient ;
while Iho merchants and Iho manufacturers
of Cleveland , Cincinnati , Chicago , St. Louis
and ether cities of , .tha wajt who produce
most of the articles shipped to South Amer
ica would not only hot ubio to place their
merchandise upon-ilha Uocka of Tampa m
Iho same lima and , ut ho satno cost that It
required to deliver Ivid New York , but with
much greater canvonic/tca and rlcss cost so
far us wnarfugo and'ha'ndliugat the terminal
points nro concerned. . . The sumo holds true
of merchandise Imported Tnto the United
States from Iho soulhcrn republics for consumption -
sumption in Ibo southern and weslcrn , elites.
The merchants of Chicago some months
ngo sent lo the president of this confer
ence a memorial , for the establishment
of steamship facilities at Tampa , which is
in accordance with the foregoing facts.
With properly constructed steamers the pro
posed line would bo of Incalculable service
to those engaged in lha shlpuiou' , of fruit
and , other perishable articles which suffer
severely from lone voyages and bad weather
at sen. A very largo portion of the fruit
coming to the United States from Central
and South America is consumed m the south
ern and western cities of the United Stales ,
and the same is Iruo of coffee , hides and
other merchandise , while Iho principle arti
cles of ex'port from the United States cnmo
mainly from the aauio cities ; the Hour from
Kichmond and Minneapolis , provisions from
Chicago , refined petroleum from Cleveland
and furniture from .Grand lUplds , whllo
Georgia and the Carolines are largely in
terested in the shipment 01 cotton goods.
In its report tbo committee also says :
"Tnero are also many considerations in
favor of Now Orleans as on outport. The
geographical position of New Orleans at the
mouth of Iho Mississippi-makes it the natural
outlet , not only to Central nnd South
America , but to other , ports of the world for
the products of the great valley this river
drains , whlth constitutes the bulk of the ex
portable couimodillai of lha United States.
The breadstuffs , the provisions , the ncncul-
tural machinery and implements , the furni
ture and petroleum and the conlora of their
products nro nil witldn convenient distance
of wntor transport Ulon. In many instances
the construction of rival railway lines bus
diverted commerce from natural to artificial
channels , but tba difference in dis
tance from St. Paul nnd St.
Louis to the parts of the gulf
and the Curriboan sea for Now Orleans is co
great as to offer advantages over Now York
as nn out port that cannot ba overlooked if
proper steamship facilities lo those ports
wore furnished. "

n clear majority and was subsequently mudo
the unanimous iiomlnon of the convention
for mayor. For treasure- John M. Kellogg ,
the present Incumbent , was nominated with
scarcely a dissenting volco. J. W. Eborsol ,
the lute democratic ; candidate for county
attorney , was nominated on the second bal
lot for city clerk , 'thcro were several other

bars of the school board , but it did not
have sufllclcnt strength to materialize.
Of the three candldalos nominated Parker
only is a republican , Kellogg nnd Eboraoll
