CHICAGO , March 19. [ Special Telegram
to THE BEE. ] The pretense of maintaining
&ven the present reduced passenger rates
lias como to bo such a farce ntnongtho west
ern roads and the demoralization has reached
ouch a dospcrato stage that any change
must bo for the bettor. It was with this
idea the moo ) Ing of all western lines was
Culled for next Wednesday. For the last
month passi-nfj'ors Imvo boon taken at prac
tically their own llguros. Where the
old basis between Chicago ana
Omaha was $12.50 the published
ratoi tire now $3 first class
and f.r second class , a second class rate
never having boon quoted before the recent
break. On these reduced rates commissions
of $5 llrst class and $3 second classliavo been
liaiU by all lines , and it ID doubtful if the
roads bavo for a month netted S3 on each
passentrer between Chicago and tha Missouri
river. Tills would not bo it paying rnto If the
cars wcro packed to the platforms , and as n
consequence all the roads bavo bocotno tired
of n light that Is sapping their own life-
blood. Moro especially do they wish a con
ference und Interchange of opinion to
learn whether or not the Burlington
& Northern , now that it lias coino under the
sheltering wing of the Burlington , intends
to continue its policy of low ottos to meet
Canadian Pacific competition. Jf It docs the
light will still ba on ami it la llltely that to
onu tbo matter sooner a 1 rate will bo made
between Chicago and tbo Missouri river.
Should the Burlington & Northern acquiesce
in a raise of rates to the old basis , or ono approaching
preaching it , representatives of the rest of
tha Chicago .lines claim the task
( will bo un easy ono. No conference
lias been called . und 110 ullotnpt
made to raiso" freight rates , which
fire ill fully as dcmornli/ej a state as the
passenger rates. All the frelcut men claim
tun nurllngten & Northern was ut the bottom
tom of the freight rate reductions , and It is
not clear why they are nnt as forward as the
passenger men in moving for un advance in
rates.

Central Trnflio association is not meeting

.patch up a system of differcntid fates to bo
iisoa by tlio lake Hues this season in ha Hlllng
freight in competition with the rail linus.
The general opinion among oast-bound
freight men Is that there is no possible use
in wasting tlmo considering differentials , ns
iiono t-an bo made which tbo lake craft will
utlck to in case they cannot get u load at
tariff rates. Tbo railfreight men are at a
loss how to compete with tnu lake lines , and
the most of them favor u high through tariff ,
regardless of lake tariffs. In this way local
rates can be Kept up und most ot the Ions on

WASHINGTON , March 19. In the senate to
day V'ico President Morton occupied the
chair. The rowlutlon offered by Mr. Voor-
hces Monday as to the agricultural depres
sion was taken up and Mr. Voorhess ad
dressed the scnato. Ho said In part It was
now nearly thirty years since the close of
the war had given to nvarico an opportunity
to prey upon the self-sacrificing patriots
of the country. The measures resorted
to for the taxation of 'ono class of
citizens and the enrichment of another had
been legislation by which the burden of the
public debt had boon doubled , silver de
monetized and a high protective tariff es
tablished. Ho characterized the reductive
tariff as the curse of the farmers of the
United States today. Ho did not receive on
an average moro than 10 cents n bushel for
corn , 50 cents for wheat and from 2 to 3 cents
n pound for hogs. Every pretense
for a homo market for the
tnrmer was a fraud and orory
pretense for taxtag wheat , oats und potatoes
for his bcuollt Is n. cheat and n sn&mo. It is
notorious fact that the tariff as It now
stands Increased the farmer's expense ac
count from 33 to 100 per cent on every Imple
ment of Industry with which lie tolled und
last year binding twine was raised to 18
coats n pound by n trust. Ho did not believe
the hands of the farmer would hold u repub
lican ticket a\ the next presidential election.
Not only had there been no incrcaso In the
vnluo or land in the last quarter of a cen
tury , but there bad boon an absolute loss of 3
per cent. Improved farm lands today under
the most favorable circumstances would
not , on n general average , realize in ere than
two-thirds of what their value had been
twenty years ago.
Ohio farm mortgages amount to $300,000-
000. In Illinois iSI Dor cent of the whole face
of the state was under mortgage , amounting
to SIUO.OOO.OOO. Forty-seven per c-snt of the
state of Michigan was under mortgage. In
Indiana , Kentucky , Missouri , Iowa , Ne
braska and the whole northwest from 0 to
DO per cent of the form lands were under
mortgages at such rates of interest ns the
farmers could never pay out of
their crops , to say nothing ofQ the
principal. The farmers wcro thus
brought face to face with ruin. Nor wcro
the farmers of Now England itinerant in
that respect from those of the western
states. The remedies to bo applied were :
1. Tariff reform.
2. A full supply of legal tender money.
'J. Tha free colnago of itilvor.
4. The suppression by law of gambling in
futures.
5. A liberal pension policy.
Mr. Voorheos summed up his argument
with references to the subsidized press ,
"blocks of live , " official patronage , etc.
Mr. Wilson of Iowa said ho desired to
read n letter from n farmer of Iowa
who know by practical experience moro
nbout the condition of the farming class than
the senator from Indiana over learned in his
readings. Ho then read a letter , which had
already been published , showing tlio com
paratively low prices of farm produce und
the high prices of manufactured goods bc
fore the war.
The Dlair educational bill was next taken
up and Mr. Pierce spoke in opposition to it.
Messrs. Evarts and Call advocated it.
The sonata bill appropriatlug $200,000 fern
n publio building at Norfolk , Neb. , was re

MEAT INSPECTION IJIlifj.
Pork Packers See Much Danger lit
KdiiuiiKl'fi Proposal.
WASHINGTON , March 19. A hoar lug was
given today by the senate committee ou for
eign relations to persons Interested in the
Edmunds bill providing for the inspection of
meats for exportation.
W. .1. Campbell of Chicago , attorney for
Armour & Co. , said ho and those conuccted
with him did not wish to antagonize the
measure , but requested the committee to so
amend the bill that tbo inspection shall not
bo compulsory in all cases. Ho proposed an
amendment to section 1.
J. J. Healoy , a Chicago pork packer , op
posed the bill. Ho said n bill of the same
kind proposed In 1831 lost to the packers of
this country the trade of Germany and
Franco and damaged it la other countries.
The packers were regaining thattrado nnrt
protested against the passsago of any bill
that would ulaco their business in Jeopardy
again.
Mr. Thorp ot Chicago , representing
ns a buyer a luruu number of
foreign ilruis , denied too state
ment that American meats were
considered of inferior quality in foroitrn
markets. The .bill was not only unnccosary ,
but tended to cast a rcllcctlon on the quality
of American meals.
W. J. Hoed of Kansas City oojocted to the
bill and presented resolutions of tbo Belfast
board of trade stating that American moats
were always satisfactory.
Mr. Suitor of Cedar Haplds objected to the
bill as uncalled for and unnecessary.

IN THE COURTS.
Octavn Ilonscnron Afnin 3Indn to An-
prnr In nn Unenviable flight.
Octavo Bouscarcn , the chattel loan agent ,
Is made the subject of a vigorous "roast" by
Attorney Park Godwin in un nflldavlt lllod
in tbo case of Mrs. Lillian Frost against G.
Conalliuo ct al.
This case was commenced some tlmo ago
and Is ono m which Mrs. Frost asks that a
'noto given to Bouscaron bo declared p.iid ,
Ins she had already paid much more than the
note called for. The note wns secured by n
chattel mortgage nnd had boon apparently
transferred to Conalllno by Houscarcn ,
It is alleged that Connalliua Is n myth.
Some tlmo last fall im attempt was made to
BOizo the mortgaged property , consisting of
furniture and other household goods , nt n
time whan the husband of Mrs. Frost was
uonllncd to bed by sickness , but this action
was prevented by tlio payment of what was
demanded as Interest. Soon after suit was
commenced by Mrs. Frost. Pending the
hearing an order was Issued restraining
Uouscaran et al. from receiving the goods ,
A feiv davs ago Constable J , J. Casey ap
peared at the residence of Mrs , Frost's
mother and father , near Davenport and
Twenty-seventh streets , und proceeded to
remove nil the mortgaged property , notwith
standing the restraining order. During the
time ho was removing the goods Casey took
occasion to insult Mrs. Frost and her pa
rents , and inada himself very oonoxioui and
ofllalous. Mrs. Frost has filed an aftldavit
charging Casey with contempt of court.
Mrs. Frost is living with her parents at
Twenty-seventh and Davenport streets , hav
ing be6n deserted by her husband , who Is
employed at ono of the railroad headquar
ters. Tha couple bad three children , , all
girls , ono ot them an infant. About three
weeks ago the oldest died.
In bis affidavit concerning the character
ind business methods of Housearen , Attor
ney Godwin says that Bouscaren cameto
this city about two years ago , dead broke.
He was formerly a sohoolmato of J. C. Cav-
nnagh , an Omaha attorney , who has pro
vided Bouscaron with money with which to
carry on tbo bloodsucking business nnd who
bus recolved n part of the spoils. Ho fur
ther alleges thdt Bouscarcn has made a prac
tice of using some unprincipled party as n
"stool pigeon. " nndliis latest acquisition is
ono Georeo Houlston. For a time , Godwlu
alleges , Bouscaren was associated with
Charles Corbett , another shark , and they
transferred their claims back and forth
without any money consideration , to avoid
prosecution , but Bouscaron's dirty work was
too much even for porbett , and bo withdrew
from the concern , nnd was replaced by
Houlston , in whoso name suits are instituted
and property claimed as the holder of the
note.
It was claimed that Houlston is the holder
of the Frost note , and that the goods wcro
seized in his name.
.Attorney Godwin cites numerous cases of
record in justice courts la proof of his state
ment of the methods pursued by these men.
Charles E. Stration will bo tried before
Judge Clarkson today on tbo charge of
assault and battery. At tbo conclusion of
this case the cases of Charles Moore , for dis
turbing the peace , and Ed Culver fordispos-
luc of tnortgngeJ property , will bn called.
The case of the state against James Mar
shal , charged with arson , resulted m the
acquittal of the defendant.
Judge Doane is hearing the suit of William
J. Johnson against tnu Georeo H. Hammond
packing company for $10,500 , damages for
injuries alleged to have been received while
Johnson was in the employ of the Hamniond
company. Ho wns engaged In driving one of
the company's meat wacons , and in April ,
1S&8 , n now horse which ho was driving be-
cumo frightened and ran away , kicking and
bruising Johnson so that he was confined to
his bed for several weeks. Ho alleges that
the injuries received are permanent.
Judge Hopowoll heard testimony in part in
the case of John L. Miles against Richard
Mattice ct al , to recover on a promissory
note as endorsers. Tno defense set up the
claim that at the time thu note was trans
ferred agreement was made that Mr. Miles
should exhaust the mortgaged property by
which the note was secured before calling on
them , which they claim bus not been done.
Judge Hopdwell held that the answer did
not set. . forth this lact with sufUciont clear
ness and the defendant was given time to
file un amended aoswor.
Judge Wakcley is bearing the case of John
W. Hodefer against John C. Davis et al to
recover SliIU.70 for laoor performed and ma
terial furnished in tbo erection of a house.
The labor was performea by ono S. W.
Hoynolds. who sold his claim to Hodefer ,
The defendants set up the claim that after
Reynolds took the contract , ho could not
carry it out and called on Davis for money
in small amounts to pay for material , etc. ,
und to pay his help. Davis declared the
contract annulled , hence the suit.
Juago Bcrka has raised an interesting
point m the case in Judge Clarkson's court ,
to recover J700 from J. L. Black , who wns
surety on a bond for Lewis Berghoff , who
skipped out before trial ou the charge
of obtains money under false
pretenses. Suit was commenced
by County Attorney Mahoncy against Black
to recover tbo amount of the recognizance.
Judge Borka , Blacit's attorney , entered a
demurrer to tbo petition , alleging that the
bond was Illegal , as it was accepted by tbo
district' clerk and not by the court , us re
quired by law. The interest in the demurrer
hinges on the fant that it has been customary
for thn district clerk to receive all recogni
sances and the scores of bonds in cases now
pending have been received by him. Judge
Uerlta claims that the law is perfectly clear
on the point and that the clerk has no au
thority whatever to fix or receive bonds.
The case was ur uod today und taken
under advisement by Judge Clarkson.

The council p.issod the viaduct ordinance
last night , removing every obstacle to llio
commencement ot work upon the structure.
The committee on viaducts nnd railways
reported that u oopy o ( tlio plans and spool-
ilcatlotis for tbo viaduct had been filed by
the Omahit union depot company with tlio city
clerk. City Engineer TilUon supplemented
this report with a letter stating that ho
had examined the .ipaclllcatlons and consid
ered that the city's IntereUs were very fully
guarded. Ho could see , hosaid , no reason
wh.y tlio ordinance should not pitss.
The ordinance Wiis then placed upon Its
Until passage and unanimously udotitod.
A resolution offered by Mr. Hocliol was
adopted calling u mooting of the council as u
board of. equalization on'Monday , March HI ,
to assess the damages occasioned by the
building of the viaduct , A further resolu
tion was adopted instructing the city treas
urer to make a tender of the damage ! )
awarded by the appraisers 10 the affected
property owners.
A potitlon was presented signed by A. Mo-
Hugh , A. II. Hishop , Hobble Hrothors , G. A.
Llndquest , D. C. Patterson , A. McGnvook
nnd Fret ! Krug , asking tljo council to narrow
Tenth BtrccUnlong tha proposed viaduct to n
width of eighty feet , thus allowing the prop
erty owners to build up to the viaduct. This
was referred to the city attorney.
The question of calling u special election
to vote on propositions for bonds for various
Improvements wus Drought up in the sluiue
of tnreo ordinances. There was some dis
cussion on the matter , Councilman Knsoar
and Lovvry claiming that the propositions
should specify that one-half of the
funds voted should bo expended
south of Farnam street and one-
half north. City Attorney Poppleton
stated that such a clause would render the
bonds itivalid. "Tim people , " ha said ,
"have n right to authori/o tlio expenditure ,
but ihu council only as the legislative body
of the city nas the right to say howuud.in .
what manner the expenditure shall bo made.
The ordinances were then passed. The
measures call for a special election to bo bold
on Tuesday , April 15 , to vote on tbo prouosl-
lions to issue bonds us follows : -r > U,00 ( ) for
the construction nnd equipment of four or
.more lira engine houses , J7. ,00l ) for paving
and repairing intersections und ? 50OUO for

to prepare tlio necessary proclamation.
The bond ( if J. J. Jobst , ns HUiiarintenuont

by the change of gradu of Dodge street from

Out of respect for a largely signed re
monstrance the ordinance passed on Tuesday

Mr. Herman ICounUo is quietly working
at his plans for the flllini. up of St. Mnr.v'a
nvenuc from Sixteenth to Twenty-first
street , with the object of reclaiming that
almost abandoned street irom its gruvo-liku
repose. Mr. Kountzo owns all tha ground
on the north side of St. Mary's nvonuo from
Seventeenth to Twentieth , and also the tri
angular shaped picco of ground on tbo south
side cf tbo street between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth. Among other prominent prop
erty holders on the south side of that
thoroughfare are B. E. D. Kennedy , George
Guy and Mat Clalro , all of whom own each
100 feet frontage between Nineteenth nnd
Twentieth streets. Samuel Ifurns owns
tha brick store and tha lot on which it stands
between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.
Joseph Wlthrow is another proucrty owner
who will bo affected by the change of grade.
The report has got abroad that tbo pro
posed change , considering the .tearing up of
pavements , filling in with dirt , relaying of
pavements along not only the avenue , but
also the intersecting street , besides tlio rais
ing of the buildings to the now grade will
cost n quarter of a million dollars. Others
Imvo estimated it between SUW.OOU nnd $200-
000. Mr. Kountza was seen in regard to tbo
matter , but was very reticent on the subject.
Ho admitted , however , tint ho had been
bonously thinking of the matter for some
time.
"It is reported that you will 111 I in fifteen
feet of dirt at Eighteenth and St. Mary's

"Yes , that Is correct. " said ho.
"I understand you Imvo lltturcd out the
total cost of the proposed improvement ; can
you furnish nn approximate ll uro of what
lhacbungo willcosti"
' No , 1 cannot. "
"It Is reported by some that It will cost
between SIOJ.ODO and gJiM.OOO. "
"O , it will not cost half that , " tmid the
great ilnancier. "Somo of the property
dwnors have waived damages and if I can
get thorn all to do so I will till in tha street
Some of the business houses will not nocd

the use of this , although 1 should of course
like to make the most out of it. Tlio city
pays half the cost , of grading und the entire
cost of repaying the internecting streets.
Hut I would rather not talk ubout the matter
until I am sure of carrying it through. "
Mr. George Tillson , the city engineer , os-
tlmntcd that the cost of lllllng in the avenue
and IntQrscctmi ; streets nnd repaying tbo
BUino would cost about { 50,000.
Major Halcombo of thu board of publio
works says that the object of .Mr. Kountzo is
evidently to divert part of the travel from
Loavor.worth to St. Mary's ttvcnuo by way

RiiH-inutor a trillo irregular. liut
when one is punting in the arms of an
