It wan thoVork of nliout two hours , calling for the exorcise of a little strategy , to pit then ) together. They hnil never boforu unit /uco toace , but It didn't tnko them long to cct warmed un In a spirited dobatn. At the start It Involved but two men , but before they left the rotundu , ' 'Oil politicians , guests , farmers and business men bad caught the spirit of the discussion , and wore hammering each other right and lull. The Kansas farmer , who claims that his brethren ere sorely oppressed with mort gages and debts , particularly the Union 1'a- clilc's bonded indebtedness , whichho asserts , Is saddled mostly upon ICnnsas , ran lull tilt upon the guns of his enemy , ami when the raoko of the bnttlo clo.irod away "Jorr.v's" glasses weroshoved upon his forehead , his slouch hat was hanging by a tuft of hair to the back of his head nnii the usually cuim demennorof Judgu rhurston\vhohus wielded the gavel In great political conventions , was very much rumpled. The two great issues , protection and f rco trado. were Immediately made the principal subjects of discussion. Later thoj drifted Into farmer talk and personalities. "Oh , yes , " said Jerry , "you republicans put out a lot of points in support of your iioc- trlna of protection , but you don't stand on any ono long enough to argno It. Hj your Tory words you prove th.it protection furthers trusts and makes goods higher for the work ing man. " "Now hero ' " , see , Merry' "No , I wont. Walt 11 mltiuto. LOOK what you did with sugar , just , as a bluff ! How long after the tariff was removed from this product - duct did the sugar trust , last ! " "Now , 'Jerry,1 you show me the business thatthuro Is a guaranteed protltof 10 pur cent In that can bo controlled by a trust , " said Mr. TThuntton. "How about the fanning Implements that fanners have to stint their families to pur chase ! " "Bosh I There are enough farming Imple- moaU lying around on the various farms , simply rotting to pieces , to supply ovorv farmer In tbocountry. Why ? Simply because men llko you who know nothing about farm ing purchased them and did not Know how to use them. " "I can farm " " Jerry,1 you know you never fanned a .legitimate day In your life. You think that because I wear a plim hat that I don't know anything about fanning. I was brought up on a fiirm and I know my arvumonts have as much weight as yours. Why , I'd Juntliko to challenge you to a plowing match breakIng - Ing prairie sod If you like. " By this time the crowd In the rotunda had become an excited mass of people. 1'hoclon Howard , Farmer Voorhoos of Illinois , Governor Waller of Connecticut and a host cf politicians Interjected arguments until "Jerry" turned his back , crying : Ono at a time , gentlemen. " " 3fou republicans nr8 responsible for the torilblo pall of mortgages that banes over the Kansana , " continued the congressman. "I consider those mortgages an ovidunco of prosperity , " replied the Omaha rcpuulican. "Men went out there who could not borrow a dollar In the world , took up farms , woikcd them and In a short time found themselves , "with sufficient security to borrow money. " " .But If they were prosperous why should they wish to borrow money I" demanded "Jerry. " "They wanted bettor living quarters than the dugouts and built themselves flnu houses and barns. I never made a cent until I went into debt to do It. " Then they wont Into arguments so exciting that tno noise of thu crowd prevented most of the auditors from lic.irintr the debaters. Again they indulged In personalities and It -frightened the hotel pcoplo who thought blows might bo exchanged. Simpson linally excused himself as ho had to catch a train , but ho said ho would some day make politics bum out west for Judge Thurrton. The congressman was delighted. "I ran up against a man-of-war with ten times mv complement of guns , " said "Jorrv , "but I bad him la a corner. " A MIISI.NO riiuANTiinorisT. An English woman named Miss Alva , sup posed to bo worth over $1,000,000 , an account of whose mission appeared In TUB But ! some time ago , and who has for some time boon carrying on a crusade against thu "slums" or Chicago , Is missing , and It Is bo- llovod by bar friends that she has boon abducted. Recently she has received anony mous letters threatening her Hfo. Yesterday evening Miss Alva entered the Jesuit church to see a priest , since which tlmo she has not boon seen. The priest says she talked wlui bim about llfteon minutes and then left the church , but a lady who accompanied nor to the door says she did not see her come out of the building. Do- tectlvos arc at wont on the case. Mrs. Dr. Bolton , In an interview , said they were much impressed with her zeal and work and bur ChrisUun character. Mrs. Bolton said she had accompanied Miss Ava to the Jesuit college a number of times , but thorn was nothing in the young lady's lite to show she was In any way partial to the Catholic religion. Miss Ava never told Mrs. Uolton the object of her visit to the college , and the latter never asked her. Mrs. Bolton says that the day Miss Ava disappeared she waited nt the college door for fully two hours and half , and when . ha did not appear she made Inquiry , which was fruitless.

( The freight nlockauo caused by the enormous shipments nf wheat from the west seems to bo about raised , but there Is still much complaint by the gi aln commission men hero and small growers In Kansas , that they cannott prompt service from the railroads. Monday morning last , there was scarcely n , foot of vacant siding In any of the switching yards , all of the tracks being occupied by loaded grain cars. The Santa Fo confesses to have had 2. IBS cars on Its side tracks here , and the other roads were In almost as bad a condition. Now the blockade seems to bo partially raised , but only partially ana the roads tmvo been compelled to mike herculean efforts to accomplish that much. The Santa Fo has withdrawn fourteen en gines from its Pacific division and has put them In service hauling In and forwarding grain. The Missouri Paclllc has eight Iron Mountain engines and four from Its southern division In the western division onirngcd In hauling grain. The other roads have nil their spare engines nt work and have all they can do In keeping thlnus moving lot alone forwardlne the groin that came upon them unawares the early part of the cok. To prevent nn Increase In tbo blockade the roads have resorted to measures which have never before been taken advantage of at this place. They have given notlco to all shippers that cars will be permitted to stand on the sldo tracks only forty-eight hours. If they are not unloaded by that time their con tents will bo stored In "the railroad's eleva tors nt the shipper' * expense. Those roads which do not own elevators have trlvon no tice that after forty-eight hours cars will bo removed to remote side tracks , storage to bo ehnrged the same as If the road had unloaded the cars in an elevator. Those measures are oxpectoa to Induce the shippers to unload their ears and iclcase thoui to the roads speedily. This evening the yards seemed to bo fairly well cleared compared to their crowded condition the first of the week. The Santa Fo now has only 750 cars waiting to bn either transported or unloaded. The Mis souri Pacllic has 2 , " > 0 cars , the Burlington about 200 , the Heck Island 3. > ( ) aud the Union Paciilc 300 belated cars.

The Freight depart ment of the Central Traftlc association has just concluded nn Important meeting. Among the matters considered was a communication from the Independent Hollners' und Oil Shippers' association demanding u reduction of at least 25 per cout In thu present rates on oil and requesting that pro-rating arrange ments bo ro-ostablishea. A resolution was adopted to the effect that no reduction could bo made in the present rate or any change in the territory to which through rates aio pub lished. The recommendation of the Milwaukee committee concerned differentials to apply on trnfllc from Milwaukee across the lake to points In the territory of the Central Traffic association was concurred in with tbo under standing that if the dllTerimtial does not , work satisfactory , a revision may bo consid ered on anpllcatlou of the lines interested. The rates agiecd upon for such trafllc nro loss than the authon/cd all rail rates from Milwaukee by the following amounts : First class , fcents ) ; second class , 5 vents ; third class , 4 cents ; fourth , fifth and sixth classes , J cents. A request from the director general of the World's fair thatjhalf tales In eaoh di rection be charged on exhibits was not grunted , the associating deciding that as the arrangements already authorized Is In accord ance with established precedents , It could not bo consistently modilied. A resolution was adopted recommending that the same differ entials via rail and water should bo allowed the Cumberland Gap Dispatch as are now in effect via Kanawha Dispatch when the prop erty Is forwarded by rail and water unin sured , but that lull rates snould bo charged when the property is shipped by an all rail route over either of those fast freight linos. The question of eliminating the insurance clause in bill of lading via water routes wus referred to a special committee for a report at the next meeting. A resolution was adopted continuing In effect until further notice , the present rates and division on cotton from southern to east ern polnU. It was agreed to recommend that Joint committee circular No.13 bo re issued in order to set forth in detail the weights to be used nt initial and intermedi ate points upon all classes of live stock. It was also agreoil that authorized rates ou pig Iron from Buffalo , Plttsburg and kindred points to East Burlington , 111. , could bo up- plied from the same points to Kolthsburg , ill.

A conference of traftlcolllclals representing lines in the Trunsmlssourl and Western Freight associations was hold hero today , the question under consideration being the aboli tion of mllllng-ln-transit rates on grain in the territory of these two associations. It was soon apparent that no decision could be reached , as the lines opposed to the move ment ruluscd to yield , and it Is bollovod that some of them are bound by contracts with millers. In fact , the discussion of the matter brought out so much that was In the nature of a revelation that ono road was directly charged with having Guaranteed to Topeka millers milling-ln-trnnslt rates for a period of twenty years. IOWA CliVTIUI. OA1X3 A fOIXT. The commissioner of the Western Trafllo association handed down a decision In the matter of the application of the Iowa Central for the equalisation of through rates on oil. It appears that from certain oil producing districts the rnto to Pcona , lidded to the es tablished rnto beyond , makes a through rnto ! ) cents higher than the existing through rnto via Chicago to the same points. No sunlclent reason appears why this Inequality should not , bo corrected , us pronosud by the Iowa Central , and Iho commissioners therefore authorized the establishment of a proportion ate tariff on oil In car lots from Peoria to des tination , ) cents less pur 100 pounds than from Chicago , provided that no through rate shall bo made lower via Peoria than via Chi cago.

It was a scholarly audience that greeted Thomas W. Keene last evening tit Boyd's theater , an audience before whom uny great actor might have played with distinguished credit. It was just such an audience that vou would expect to sco upon a night given over to the production of a tragic play , for Omaha theater goers have not had a taste of the legitimate since Mr. Kccno's last appearance hero. And they longed for something that had tlio true ring of art about It and not Its anti-typo. For his Initial appearance , aftornr. absence of two years. Mr. Keene chose "Uichollou" as the bill , Bulwcr's historical drama in five acts. acts."Itlchollou" Is n fine study of the force and vastness of a complete individuality and af fords to the actor a Hue opportunity for the exhibition ot thu resources of histrionic art. But the great cardinal was no common man. ho was made of different clay than that which enters into the composition of most men , and to show a glimpse of him as ho waste to the generation of over two centuries later , needs gifts of no common order. Titanic daring , iron resolution , sublime self-belief , thu wisdom of the serpent , the subtlety nud the Instinctive understanding of the motives of men which only follow in the waka of personal experience , are some of the component elements of , the character of Ar- mnnd Richelieu ; and to reproduce the charac ter in all its maesty"Wilhout ] ' suffering the more noble qualities to bo impaired by the shadow of the loss worthy ones Is a task which Mr. Koeuo undertakes , and In which last night ho scored a fair measure of success. i Vet OHO cannot pass lightly over the ability of Mr. Keene , for 'ho has ability of an uxaltor ordor. Ills growing mellowness , his studious character , his disposition to round thu rough places of former intorpictations , show how thoroughly the man appreciates * tno position he occupies on this side of the water , for with Mr. ' Booth in retirement , with Lawrence Barrett dead , Mr. ICoonc is America's representative tragedian. And tbo long weary years , ot patient plodding , of struggle oven , what a lesson to the young actor facing the plaulllU , the frowns of the public 1 i From the first moment In which ho ap peared In the doorway-of his chamber , clad iu loose robes of dull color , with bent form and haggard features , with the eyes of un quenchable brightness Hashing under the snowy tresses of old ago , Mr. Kceno showed a knowledge of the character in keeping with the studious life ho leads. If the portraiture ho gave of the cardinal was not powerful it was closely analytical , and that , In those days , deserves the greatest possible praise. But in the fourth act , whore tbo real ruler ot Franco protects Julio from Louis by the throat of the thunders of the church , a bit of declamation which stands the peer of any similar throat in the language , Mr. Keene rose to real sublimity. Thu Indomitable spirit seemed to wake acaln , the thin , nervous - ous hands whirled aloft in the very ecstacy of conscious power. Under the cavernous eyebrows the old eyes Hashed dark lightnings and the quailing of the king's messengers scorned no stage play , but grim realltv. In the last act ho scorned to lose the grasp ho showed in the fourth act and sent the cur tain down upon his "now glory gained" In a manner which to say the least was hardly reminiscent of the scene as plavod either by Mr. Irvine , Mr. Booth or Mr. Barrett. Yet withal the character was lovingly and laboriously built together , it was consistent us seen through the brain of the interpreter. The passages in which ho was least effective were those in which Richelieu Is didactic. Lord Lvtton's blank verso In those passnijos is loud sounding , but inherently feeble and Mr. Koonu's attempt to glvo It force and ap plication were not successful. As u whole the support given the star was in the main satisfactory , although ono could not help longing for a stronger Francois , n more ambitious Huguot than Mr. Eaglcson made the part , a more captivating Marion. The Barudus of Mr. Honnliig wus accepta ble. the actor showing a line stage training which counts for so much In plays of the courtier class. Mr. Julius Scott as Do Mauprat was a quiet lover whoso presence In the "taspcstry chamber" could not hava sent Julio's blood to coursing any the more quickly , while his strong scene with the cardinal in the second act touched the commonplace. Mr. Carl Ahrondt played Joseph delight fully , his long years In Iho legitimate trlving him perfect command of the character , upon whom the only criticism can bo made that , llko Wolsey , "ho was ambitious. " Miss Alberta Gallatlu essayed the lovable role of Julio , and with one or two executions played It very well. She Is young , has beauty and is conscientious , und with study Is destined to ir.aUo a name for herself In the character so much sought after by the in genues In the legitimate. The play was superbly mounted , the now scenery showing to liilo advantage , The cos tumes were excellent , . and altogether it was a painstaking , careful. performance. The patrons of tho' Paninm Street theater were In force last evening. The attraction was Carter's over plbaslng realistic melodrama - drama , the "F'ist Moil.

Reliable in formation received hero last night from Bricovlllo and Coal Creek shows an alarming condition of affairs thnro. Whether It Is a "blutT" for the legislature or "douu earnest" remains to bo soon. The Information is to the effect that the miners there have deter mined on turning loose the 125 convicts In the mines of the Knoxville Iron company. It now seems that the free minors have deter mined to play n desperate game us the coal mining season is opening with n rush. There Is now great uneasiness among the operators who don't know what to do. Whether thu minors will attack the convicts or not remains to bo seen , but there is great uneasiness in the entire district tonight , and a gentleman who Is thoroughly posted upon the situation says the public need not bo sur prised If every convict , In the district Is re leased with twenty-four hours. The convicts in the Oliver Springs district will bo re leased. The programme this tlmo lime Is to turn thorn free In tuo mountains nnd run them out of the state in Kentucky. Another alarming report is that the fortv or fifty free minors whom the Tennessee Coal company hnvo been working during all tlio trouble over iho convicts have been notified that they must leave the rolno. They are told that If they continue to work In the mlno they will bo killed. The situation I * causing the oper ators much uneasiness. It is stated that ono cause for the renewal of the disturbance at Brlcovillo is the opinion of the state attorney general which was sub mitted to the legislature. Ho hold that the lessees had no legal authority to sub-lot the convicts. The minors learning this fact and seeing nothing dona to remove them from the mines propose to got rid of them themselves.
