\VA3ntKnroN , D. 0. . 'Dee , , ' ! 0 , "I want no
compromise. I am for free coinage of silver
nt the present ratio first , last and all the
timo. " Representative Bland , the veteran
silver loader and the chairman of the liouso
committee on coinage , was very emphatic
when ho delivered himself of thcso state
ments this morning ,
" 1 want no compromise at all , but If I
could do no bettor 1 would probably acccp t
the old net , provided that the maximum
amount , $1,000,000 per month , mentioned In
that measure was agreed to bo coined. I be-
Hove that the present law and the legisla
tion wo have had Is In the Interest of silver ,
nnd , of course , I do not want It to bo re
pealed. " ;
"What dd you think of the prospects of
Bllvcf legWatloh In this congress 1"
"I um told that nn attempt is to bo made
to repeal or suspend the present law. "
| "Well , do you think this attempt will bo
successful ? "
"No ; I ilo not. I don't think such a prop
osition can get through the liouso. I think ,
however , that thcro Is a hotter chance for It
to pass nt this session than there will bo
during the next congress. Thcro are a num
ber of men who have not been ro-clected ,
who may vote Independently of their con
stituents , especially as a democratic admin
istration will soon bo Inaugurated which is
opjwscd to free coinage. I am for free coin-
ngo and If I cannot get It at this session , I
nball try to secure It at the next , or the
Oilrllcst possible moment.
"Tho Sherman law Is the nearest wo have
lccn able to got to the point as yet. It Is
proposed to repeal It , but nothing Is sug
gested to take Its place. If that proposition
Vras to bo carried , silver would at once bo
demonetized , and when that happens It will
not bo long before gold , too , Is demonetized ,
With silver demonetized , thcro would bo
BUeh a light for gold among the nations , the
highest bidder getting it , that panics would
Inevitably cnduo. Then the people of this
country would rise up , take hold of the gov
ernment and give those now trying to run It
Buch a lesson in finance as they don't dream
of , The eastern men who are clamoring for
gold are too greedy , and are grasping for
everything in sight , letting the future take
care of Itself. They will find out their mis
take. It is my belief that the world is driftIng -
Ing rapidly to paper money. It will reach
that t > oint before long , and I do not know but
that wo will bo quite as well off. "
Inn Peculiar Situation.
"It Is a singular commentary on American
Institutions" says the Star , "that the pre
sident or tlio United States is compelled by
stress of circumstances to conduct the busi
ness of his ofllco in a building , the principle
part of which -is quarantined by the local
health authorities as a place of danger. This
Is ono of the evil results of combining the
public qfllces and the residence of the chief
executive in the same building. The presi
dent's grandchild is down with the scarlet
fever and the entire household from the
president down are in tnoro or less danger
from the contagion. The fact that the pa
tient Is Isolated in a secluded part of the
mansion , of course , minimizes the danger ,
hut docs not remove it altogether , despite
the extreme sanitary precautions taken for
their safety. Fortunately the disease has
been successfully confined to the ono case , so
far , but there Is no certainty that it may
yet claim another victim among the many
persons whom existing conditions compel to
remain under the same roof. "
Ono of the effects of'tlio present condition
of affairs nt the white house is the delay of
the formal presentation to the president of
the Brazilian commissioners , who are now in
this city for the purpose of submitting to his
arbitrage the question in dispute between
Brazil and the Argentine Republic over tlio
missions boundary lino.

General Grant , acting secretary of war ,
paid today that it i ? absolutely untrue
that thcro is lack ot harmony between the
Department of Justice nnd the State and
Wai1 departments , growing out of the condi
tion of affairs along the Mexican frontier.
Ho Was1 corroborated m this by Secretary
Foster and Attorney General Miller , each of
whom was Interviewed on the subject.
There Is , however , considerable speculation
ns to the object of Captain Bourko's recent
visit to Washington , aud an effort is being
made to glvo It undue importance. It is
learned today that his mission was
strictly a secret ono aud that its ob
ject would bo defeated by its becoming
Icnowti just nt present. It can , however , bo
stated positively that Captain Bourke does
Jiot carry back to Texas any Instructions re
garding the plan of campaign and that all
orders on that subject will continue to bo
issued through General Wheaton , the com
manding general of the Department of ( Texas.
In fact that oflicor has already been given
general Instructions to pursue a most vigor
ous campaign along the bordcrand endeavor ,
with the aid of the three additional troops
sent him , to capture or destroy all persons
c-ngagod in the revolutionary movement who
are discovered violating the international
laws. The details will bo left to General
"Whoaton to work out.

Morrison font Cabinet : Position ,
The Star says : The friends of Mr. Morri
son are tiatlsfled that ho is going Into Mr.
Cleveland's cabinet. The obstacle In his
way has been thought to bo the fact that
the democrats of Illinois are divided in two
factions , each ot which could ho counted on
to oppose what the other favored. For some
time Mr. Morrison's friends have been work
ing for harmony , with a view to get the
united support of the democrats of-tho state
for him for the cabinet. Their efforts have
been successful , and the visit of Representa
tive O en Scott to Mr. Cleveland this woeli
was to convoy to.him the assurance of Sena
tor Palmer , who leads the anti-Morrison fac
tion , that Vhcvseloctiou of Morrison for the
cabinet would ba\roeclved with favor by

TherO was n flue representative crowd at
the Omaha Athletic club last night to wit
ness a varied program of boxing , feats of
strength nnd mind reading. Prof. Sundccn ,
ono of the most skilled artists In the necro-
mnnlcllno In America , preluded the athletic
events with an hour's entertainment of mind
reading and legerdemain , Some of his feats
are really marvelous nnd kept the club house
in a continuous buzz of applause.
Following the professor came Kid Ix > gnn
nnd Herb Saunders In a sclentlllo
three-round bout. That It was n vigor
ous mill from the rise to the fall of the
curtain goes without saying. The boys both
evinced frtnsldcrablo skill , and wcro loudly
applauded as they left the ring.
The main nvent , the finish contest between
Dick Moore of St. Paul nnd Jim Crowlcy of
Buffalo , followed. It was short , but sweet.
Crowley showed up big and strong , but when
the two men got in action It was potent tote
to all that ho was clearly outclassed.
Still ho gave a very satisfactory exhibition
of the manly art , and kept the supple Dick
extremely busy until the end came , which
was In the third round. Ho was clearly
beaten , and the vast crowd of merchants ,
bankeni , lawyers and politicians left the
handsome club rooms supremely pleased.

. MillItliru In "Josi-phluo. "
Omaha theatergoers have a warm corner
in their hearts for Mile. Rhca , and so the
Boyd was filled last evening on the opening
of her brief engagement. The play was
"Josephine , " and to inanycRhca's interpreta
tion of its title role is the best bit of work in
her repertoire . The book Is not entirely
free of faults , but it is not too much to say
that the art of Rhca and the efforts of her
company lead the mind and judgment of the
audience over and past 'them , to dwell only
on.tho undoubted beauties of the play and
the high sentiment that suffuses its princi
pal situations. How nn Innate artistic
sense , supplemented by a line emotional lire ,
can overcome difficulties that at first
thought nnd to the prosaic mind would seem
Insuperable is fully inspirlngly evidenced in
and by Rhea. To possess such beauties
of person as are Rhea's is
much ; to have a taste for dress
so perfect and bo able to command the means
that can gratify it is also much but Rnca's
Josephine Is more than a beautiful woman
perfectly gowned ; it is the expression of a
soul , and so a fulfillment of'the highest min
istry of art. The artist's pronunciation of
the English language is not yet perfect ,
though Jt Is improving dally , but looking on
and listening to this brilliant French woman
the fact falls back before the cssentliil.doml-
uatlng characteristics of n great creation.
Rlica's art Is idealistic rather than realistic ;
her interpretation of character Is moro a
poetic portrayal of its broad truths than a
photographically bald presentment of inci
dental facts and it may bo this , splto of
the shrieks of the latter day dillctanti , that
insures Rhca largo houses of enthusiastic
admirers wheravcr shu goes.
The company supporting Rhea is thor
oughly cajiablo. Many of its members nro
now to Omaha ; all are young , earnestly en-
thuslastio and willing to learn , and they
achieve much. Mr. WSHart is the Napoleon.
Ho Is too tall for a perfect presentment
of the Ivittlo Corporal , If perfection Is to bo
measured In lineal Inches ; but his purfor-
manco is a sufficiently adequate expression of
a delinlto conception. Mr. Hart emphasises
the subjective traits of the Corsican who
embodied moro or Creole fatalism than
Celtic ) mercurial temperament. Hu has
studied all thu authorities on NajKileon's
peculiarities nnd character , and is careful in
evidencing many of them , producing a thor
oughly commendable study. The Tallyrand
of Mr , Kiwi Dunbur is well known nnd
praiseworthy. Thu other gentlemen In thu
cast acquit themselves well. The ladles are
all good. Miss Abell's Pauline has gained ,
; If possible , In charm. Mrs. George Bonlfaco
plays as she always does , well , and Miss
Gertrude Perry Is a beautiful and intelligent
Hortenso. A young daughter of Nebraska
Is In the cast , Miss Ell/xibcth Holloway ,
who was educated at Browncll Hall , Omaha ,

HOME , Doc. ! ? 0. The holy father Is greatly
Incensed at the opposition displayed against
Mgr. Satolli iiiul n peaceful and moderate
solution of the school question lu the United
States. The pope has ulrcaily , on several
occasions , given expression to his feelings on
the subject with considerable warmth.
Speaking recently to ono of his conllilants ,
ho Is roi > orted to liuvo said : "They ( SatolH's
opponents ) want to force the holy sco to re
treat , but the pope will not he repulsed. "
In the document which Is now being prepared
pared at the Vatican , the prudence ami wis
dom which Mgr. Satolli displayed In his
propositions for u solution of the school < iucs-
tlou are spoken of with much praise.
The fact that the holy sco has addressed
an encyclical to the Italian people In the
pope's name has caused more comment than
the document itself. It is the first time the
popo. departing from ancient customs , has
addressed himself directly to the people.
An influential cardinal , recently speaking
on this subject , remarked : "Tho monarchic
era In" the administration oC ecclesiastical
affairs is passing away and Is being suc
ceeded by the popular and democratic era.
The diffusion of the manuscript has in no
small degree contributed to this result. "
I'riint-o uml tlui Viitlcmi.
Iii connection with this solution of the
papal policy in u democratic sense , the effect
of unearthing the Panama canal scandals
has produced at the Vatican is of special
Importance. The situation in Franco ,
created as a consequence of the Panama
scandals , Is watched with the closest at
tention.
Considerable anxiety is felt at the Vatican
both lu vlow of the anomalous position oo-
cupicd by the Vatican in Franco since the
pope has displayed so much friendliness to
ward the republic , and ou account of the
Franco-Russian entente becoming less close
or altogether endangered.
On the other bund , It is pointed out by the
ultra Francophil party at the Vatican that
the collapse of the republican party will
facilitate the fusion of the republican and
conservative parties , which will be strong
enough to assume control of affairs in
France. Meanwhile news from Franco is
awaited with great anxiety and each develop
ment gives rise to long and excited discus
sion.
sion.An
An exchange of views which may have
most eventful consequences is at the present
moment actively proceeding between certain
ecclesiastical personages at Homo and cer
tain representatives of the orthodox church
in Russia on the subject of a rcapportion-
mcnt and union of the two churches. Up to
the present the attitude of the Roman
Catholic ccclesiastcs have not been of a con
ciliatory character , notwithstanding that
the pope himself is showing a spirit more
and more favorable to a policy which aims
at bringing about an understanding with
Russia and a future re-establishment , more
or less distant , of the ancient unity.
Want an Uinlerstandlnfc Knmo.
On the side of Russia , numerous ecclesias
tical and political personages and professors
of the universities of Moscow and St. Peters
burg and public opinion in general , manifest
a most favorable disposition toward an un
derstanding with Rome , on condition that
the ancient privileges of the Greek church
bo maintained. In several of the letters , of
which mention has just been made , It can
clearly bo seen that Rome , which is the cen
ter of unity in the reconciliation with the
holy sco , would raise the orthodoxy to a
higher level , while at the same time an alliance -
anco with Rome would carry inestimable ad
vantages for Bussian diplomatic intercourse
with foreign powers. At the Vatican closed
relations with Russia would bo hailed with
considerable satisfaction , especially as it is
believed that the Russians , seeking a
friendly understanding with Austria , which ,
if consummated , would result In the extinc
tion of the triple alliance , the greatest pres
ent barrier to the restoration of the pope's
temporal power. These political considera
tions will have considerable weight in any
formal negotiations for the reunion of the
Roman Catholic church and the Russian
orthodox church.

Buussni.s , Dec. HO. Major Glllain of the
guards and Eugene Vanderbcrgen , Krupp's
resident agent , fought a duel in a private
garden on the 13ois do la Cambro last night.
Vanderbcrgen was shot through the heart
and died Instantly.
The two men had been on bad terms for
several months in consequence of their
rivalry for the favors of a notorious woman.
Vanderbcrgen had received repeated warn
ings to cease his attentions to her. Vaiuler-
bergen afterwards appeared with her in a
box at a theater.
Glllain waited at the exit , and , after abus
ing Vanderbcrgen , told the woman she must
choose between them. The woman ran , but
Ollluin overtook her and stopped her. She
then told him that she. had tired of his im
portunities and would not see him again.
Gillain then left and Vandcrbergen believed
the incident would bo without serious cense
quences.
On Wednesday evening ho and a friend
from Berlin entered a beer garden where
Glllain and several other officers sat at a
table. As Vandprbergen walked by the table
Glllain rose and jostled him almost from his
feet. Vamlerborgcn struck him with his
open hand on the cheek , On thu same even
ing Gillain'.s second communicated n chal
lenge to Vandorbergon. VamlorbiTgeri ac
cepted it and clioso pistols , as ho WHS an ex
pert shot , and Gltlaln was celebrated for his
skill as a in'irksnian. ' '
The next day thn duel took pla'co. On the
first exchange of shots , Gillnin's chock was
grazed. On the second exchange. Viinder-
bergen fell dead , without word or ulgii ,
Vanderbergen was exceptionally popular
among ofllcors and business men In this city ,
and the announcement today of the manner
of his death has made a painful impression
In military circles.
Gillain is considered to have been blame

denial of the Paraguayan minister It
has been discovered that that country has

the money was advanced through Chilian
sources. Uruguay will probably suspend
the foreign debt payments for the

outlook for cotton goods on account of a
stiffer market and the great distress among
the cotton operatives attendant upon the
lockout , negotiations have been resumed be

should accept a reduction of wages until the
condition will Justify full time and full

about -10,000 working people outside the
union , and , for the most part , they have ab

favor of a system of federation that is to be
composed of union employes of any particu

formed upon their own motion and binding
upon them alone. This plan was given most
careful consideration by.tho members in

cussed with the 'utmost thoroughness ,
every possible contingency and relation
into which they might bring various orders
being considered in turn. At one time it
looked as though an agreement would bo
reached tonight , and the conference decided
to hold an all night session if by so doing
they might close their labors. At this point a
new complication came up upon which there
was such variance of opinion that it was at
once evident that at least another day would
be necessary before the agreement can bo
reached. An adjournment was accordingly
taken until tomorrow. Lenders of the con
ference were seen tonight and admitted
having grave doubts of their being able to
get together. While they refused to state
just how the members stood toward the pro
posed plan of federation , it was learned
from them that Its chances of ultimate suc

was not sufficient to hold the defendants ,

BniT.l For moio than n week Stella people
stipiHMod that Miss Salllo Thomas of thl.i
city had mot n sad fate In St. Uiuls. No Iraco
of the young lady could bo discovered , and
the anxiety for her safety became so great
that the police wore notified , and the
story of the case appeared In the
St. l/ous ! Olobo-Democrat last Sunday. The
Globe-Democrat account wan ns follows :
"A disappearance with peculiar features has
Just been reported to the police by W. B.
Williams of Stella , Neb. , who Is now stop
ping at Hoefnor's hotel. Williams' mission
hero Is to find Salllo Thomas , a handsome
18-yoar-old girl whoso father Is David
Thomas of Stella , Snlllo Is of medium
height , weighs 110 poumli , has fair com
plexion , brown hair aud oycs and sometimes
wears spectacles. She came hero last Tues
day for the purpose of marrying Thomas A.
Roberts of Slaughtorvlllo , Ky. , who claims
to bo a sculptor. Williams fear * that smnu
wrong has been done the girl nnd will stay
here until ho finds her.
Qullua Happy Cum luslcin. „
"From his story It seems that about three
months ago Roberts advertised fora wife. In
some eastern family paper. The advertise
ment caught Salllo's cyo iindlii a spirit ot fun
she answered It. This opened a correspond
ence and she received letters regularly fwm
Thomas. From fun the affair developed
Into seriousness and Salllo wrote replies to
all of Roberts' letters. Six weeks ago they
exchanged photographs , and each seemed
moro than pleased with the other. l vo
declarations followed , and when last Mon
day Salllo received a loiter from the lover
she had never seen , tolling her to meet him
in this city , where they were to bo married ,
she was overjoyed. She exhibited the letter
to her parents and they consented to the ar
rangement. Sallie packed a trunk of cloth
ing and came on at onco. Before leaving ,
however , she promised to write as soon as
she got hero. .No word has been received
from her and the parents arc almost broken
hearted.
' Williams , who , it Is said , was an admirer
of the missing girl , volunteered to find her ,
nnd thus made his way to St. I onis. Ho
learned with police aid that Salllo's trunk
arrived hero la.it Tuesday and was removed
from the union depot on the same day.
Several detectives arc working on the caso. "
The detectives , however , failed to locate
Sallie , but now a letter comes from the
young lady herself to her moi her. Salllo
says who and Mr. Roberts were married in
St. Louis last Wednesday and left Immedi
ately for their future homoInSlaughtcrvillc ,
Ky. She also wrote that she was perfectly
happy with her choice. It seems she had
written her mother a couple of letters as
soon as she arrived In St. Louis nrtd had also
written the dav she was married , but the
letters were inissent.
