Colonel Clew i y , v/estoin suporintendciit
of the Western Union telegraph company's

father of Mrs. Clowri. Ho arrived l'iida\
In compiny with Superintendent Dickey
uftei an uxtondcd trip through the south
west , including Mexico nnd 'J'e\as.
Mr. Clowry reports the business of tlio
comp.in } in the southwont districts in good
condition , nnd cajs that tlio volume of busi
ness is rapidly inci easing.
In reply to n question ns to tlio action of
the boaid of trndo in Chicago with reference
to the bucket shops , Colonel Clowiy said
that tliis light had been iroingon at intervals
for some time " 1'ho buclcot shops got out
an injunction against the board to prevent
thorn fiom depriving the bucket shops of tlio
quotations This injunction was modi-
lied a few da\s ago , allowing the
board to cut olT the quotations , but
restraining thorn fiom resiim ngtho furnish
ing of quotations to outsuio parties unless
thoj furnish them to o\er\ono who wants
them. After the Hist of the month the
board will cut olT all quotations. The only
way persons can get thcso figures w ill bo bj
means of piivalo messages All our wire"
vvlll of toiino bo loft on the llooroftho
board , and the volume of piivato messages
will bo Hrgely Increased
"I don't suppose they will succeed in do-
pil\lng the bucket shnns of the quotations ,
ns they have tried the same thing before , but
tlio ouckct shops inamiged to got them Just
the samo. This 1ms been done in sc\cial
ways. The IlKiiies may bo communicated bv

mcbsagcs. Homo members of the board urn
luigolj interested in bucket shops , and will
supply them for that reason , Hesidos that ,
the bucket shops place u largo amount of
business on the board , and it pais some of
the members to keep this ti ado "
What do i on think of the Idea of n gov-
eminent tolegt.iphi"
"I don't think It would bo n success In
the Hist place , the government could not run
u largo sjHtoiii of telegraph except at n
great loss ; the price of the fiorvico could not
bo put at u figure which yyotild insure largo
patronage except by running it at tlio ex
pcnso of the taxpayer Mot cover , the gov
ernment is nctoiiously extravagant , and it
requites the most caieful management to

ilon t bollovo tlioro IH n private corpoiation

ness principles as tliti Western Union.
"Another point , and n verv important one ,
Is this With n goyurnmont system there
could bo no opposition , and tlio natural
tendeiiLi won id bo to bucomo slow an 1 c ireless -
less The principal feat mo of telegriiihy is
peed and accuracy Wo deliver mes-iagos
butweon Chicago and Now York , both ways ,
In four minutes Wo yvould never have

wo bad not had competition. The
Inevitable result of u government
control would bo u tendency towards
Blothfutnesti , and this would destroy the use
fulness of tlio system , and the object for
which business men use It.
"Moro than that , there would bo no
liability for oiror. Wo are paying chums
o\erv day for losses caused by mistakes in
transmission , which arc bound to occur.
With a government sistom thera yvould bo
almost no liability at all
"I am greatly pleased with the business of
tha Omahu olllco , " continued Colonel
Clowry " 'Iho business for the month
of Mutch > s the largest of mi }

notwithstanding that a largo reduction has
beun made in the rates yvlthln tnc last jcur

The colonel spoke very lilghli of the city ,
and said thai the increase in the telegraph
business was n sure indication of the growth
and bustlings of the city. Ho leaves todii }

Involving the almost total demolition of scv

It would requlro at least four hours
before the tinck could be cleared Of course
all expectation of reaching Chevenno

can dceldo for themselves which Is the host
to elect for the good of the city. Although
tin co conventions have boon bold , there are
practically but two sots of mot ) to decide bo-

were it yvould never have Indulged in the
