Thls argument hail n tnlllni : effect on the house and was loudly appl.iinlcd. In the senate tlio pending motion to recon sider the vole by which the words "splr- turns liquors" were stricken out was debated for nouns time. Senator Ho\von , the prohlbl- tlon leader , said lie had decided to with draw from the opposition , and would , support no more amendments calculated to render the measure obnoxious to Its friends. The motion to reconsider prevailed by a vote of 27 to 7 , those votliiff "nay" boltiR Finn , Knton. norrell , Palmer , 1'helps , Andrews and KJlburn. The motion was subsequently with drawn. Senator Hnrshottered nil amend ment limiting HIP location , of saloons to cities of not less than 5,000 Inhabitants. He thought the law In the smaller towns was fairly well enforced , and that these com munities should be protected from the legal- l7x > d saloons. The amendment was finally defeated by n vote of 17 to 15 , and after a few minor changes were made the friends of thn measure stated that It was ready for Senator Finn then save notice that the enemies of the measure on the republican fddo would attack the bill and endeavor .to load It down with amendment * that would bp fatal to UH passage , and Senator Grono- wcg gave notice that ho would give notice M substitute the democratic local option bill oil Mdndoy , and along these lines the battle rlll open next week.

It has never before fore been necessary to charter steamers from regular lines to carry the sugar crop but this season several of the Southern r'aclllc ' company's boats have been pressei lijto service and have been making regular trips to Cuban ports. For the week endei March 7 there were received at the three sugar ports of New York , Philadelphia am Dostcm 06,802 tons of 2,240 pounds each which was an Increase of 13,003 tons over tlio corresponding week of last year. The rushing forward of tlio Cuba crop Is at legcd to bo due simply to the fact that the crop In excessively large and must bo brought to market. That the crop Is larger Is shown by fig ures from Cuba which give a production this xeason of 389,000 tons , against 341,000 tons last season and 320,000 tons for 1892. For the first eight days of March thirty-six ves sels nrrlvpd nt Nnw Ynrk with snir.ip frnm Cuba anil other West Indian ports and Bra zil. This fleet was composed of ten Hteamcrs , nine barks , ono brig and sixteen HCliooncrs. The noteworthy point Is the number of the steamers , which , while de creasing the number of arrivals , carry much larger cargoes nnd accomplish more work at less expense than the smaller craft. The week's Imports were valued nt $3,375,402 nt the three ports , of which New York's shnro was $1,970,293. In connection with the figures relative to the market for and stork of cano sugars , It Is Interesting to note that there are at present 4,100 tons of beet sugar afloat from Hamburg for New York nnd freight room for 11,000 tons more has been engaged. 3lOStKIirKI > WITH A ItOMlt. rind of u Xunibcr of llroolilyii r.tiili Ycntcrdny. NEW YOIIK , March 10. Joseph Hoffman , jiged is , has been maimed for llfo by thq ex plosion of a box of bombs , which the police bellevo were made by anarchists and hidden In the sand lots of Wllllamsburg until such tlii)0 ) a& ihoy should liu wanted. The Hoff man boy and Charles hnd Frank Oberly were playing In the lots today , when they turned up the sand near a massive boulder and found a box containing" six bombs. The Hoff man boy , being the elder , took charge of the llml and examined the bombs carefully. Young Hoffman finally picked up ono of the hombs and said he was about to hurl It ngnlnat the boulder. The other boys turned nnd ran away. They had run about 100 feet when Hoffman hurled the bomb from a dis tance of thirty feet nt a boulder. The result was disastrous. The Oberly boys say they felt as though the earth had opened under them , and when they turned Hoffman was lying on the ground screaming at the top of his voice. All the skin on his face and hands was peeled off and ho had several abrasions on the body and limbs. The police have the box containing the other llvo bombs , which are of tin nnd ob long. About three months ago half a dozen bombs were found In the lots , but the police were unable to find thq maker. The district abounds In anarchistic societies and In the yjclntty Is the house of Johann Most. CAUGHT AT LAST. Senator III11 of Now Ynrk Sold to lie KII- Rugad tu u Kentucky Hollo.

II. U CI rk-IIo\v the Kmployex I'eel. When Judges Caldwcll and Sanborn Issued their now celebrated order In the Union Pacific wage matter. In view of conflicting orders made In Inferior courts , directing that the employes of the great system of ralji ) which gridirons the western third of the continent should be heard upon the ques tions vitally affecting their Interests and appointing President Clark to act on behalf of the receivers of the Union Pacific In treatIng - Ing with the employes , the principle of arbi tration became much more of a fixity than It has been heretofore. And the result of this conference , which convenes In Omaha next Thursday , will be watched with Intense Interest by labor the country over. The different branches of labor on the Union Pacific will be present In force , In addition to the chiefs of the various organi sations represented In the conference. In fact , the meeting Is one of national Impor tance , In view of the questions which will require solution at this time. In addition to deciding whether the employes are to submit to the equalization schedule sought to bo foisted upon them without a hearing In the famous order of Judge Dundy , directing the receivers to put the new schedule In effect March 1 , and which caused such a wide spread discontent that the employes of the company oven went so far as to ask for a restraining order from Judge Rlner of Wyoming , directed ugalnut the enforcement of the order. Judge Rlnor Issued such an order , but the receivers , listening to the mur- inurH of dlrsatlsfactlon and not feeling will ing to take the Initiative In putting the schedules In effect , rescinded their former action as recited in the petition filed by General Solicitor Thurston In Dundy's court , and asked Judges Caldwell and Sanborn to take the matters under advisement , which they did by ordering that the employes of the Union Pacific should have their day In court , and March 15 was named for the be ginning of the conference , which Is to con tinue from day to day until an agreement Is readied. If no agreement can be reached then the court will cut the Gordlan knot and say what shall be considered fair to linth slrtns nn thn wane nucstion. PRESIDENT CLARK'S INVITATION. President Clark , who Is now In St. Louis , when asked yesterday by wire as to who his associates would bo In the conference , re plied : "I have Invited 'the ' local chairmen of the various labor organizations embraced In the order of the court to meet me at the conference , which convenes In Omaha on the 15th Inst. I have also Invited the chiefs of these organizations to be jiresent. " In consequence of this Invitation the different branches of labor on the system have elected tht'Ir delegates to attend the conference. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers , so far as has been reported to George W. Vroman , chairman of the grievance com. mlttee , will be represented by A. Flood , Rawllns , Wyo. ; J , L.

The American Railway union Will be rep resented by states as follows : ,7Nebraska , George Miller , Omaha ; Wyoming , W. F. Downey , Evanston ; Idaho and Utah , E. L. Brlggs , Glens Ferry ; Colorado , L. E. Hor- berling , Denver ; Pacific division , James MIraugh , Portland , Ore. This order In cludes many of the clerks along the system and workers la the machine.shops and other departments , unattached to the older bodies. The Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen have not as yet reported their delegates to The Bee , which is also true of the Order of Railway Telegraphers. WILL HAVE GOOD COUNSEL. In addition to these employes the men will have the wise counsel of P. M. Arthur , grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers , who has held the position for years and who enjoyS the confidence of the entire brotherhood , F. P. Sargent of the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen , grand chief of the order , and Eugene Debs , president of the American Railway unlqn , names that ' s'tand for the best principles for which labor lias united. The position In which Mr. Clark Is placed is one of supreme Importance , for It means much to this light In the railroad world of today. Coming up from the ranks , as ho tias done , President Clark enjoys the great : onfldenco of the men on the system. He : ias gone through almost every branch of railway service connected with the operating department , and , what is of particular Im portance , has not forgotten the days when 10 ran a gravel train on the Jersey Central. Thoroughly conservative , yet having an Intl- nate acquaintance with the finances of the Jnlon Pacific system , the position Mr , Clark will assume In regard to the schedules pro- rnred by General Manager Dickinson , Mr. vlcComicll and the general superintendent of he company , at the Instance of the re ceivers , will bo watched with great Interest. Should ho decide that the equalization sched ule docs not equalize , then It Is thought the miployes will lose their confidence In General ilanagor Dickinson , who undoubtedly recog- ilzes that It Is a condition and not a theory hat confronts the operating department. In he event that Mr. Clark , after hearing both Ides , should decldu that the schedules far en- ; lnemcn and trainmen , \yhlcli wore Intended o become effective March 1 , are as liberal as hose of other roads , then the men will In 11 probability poll the system on the ques- ton of whether to accept the rchedules or lot. But the liberal element among the mployes anticipate a modification of the chodulo which will prove satisfactory to 11 Interests. The result of the conference in the Northern Pacific Is being cited as an nstanco whorotn mutual concessions were lade , the man realizing that the times were nfavorablo for pressing requests. It Is thought , at headquarters , although 'resident Clark has been very reticent as to its Intentions In the matter , that Receivers 4. Ellcry Anderson , Oliver W. Mink and J. V , Doano will bo present throughout the onferenco to aid Mr. Clark wherever possl- ilo , while for actual knowledge of the sltua- lon ho will rely upon General Manager Dlek- 130H. Superintendent of Machinery and Mo- Ive Power McConnell , the general luperln- endent of the gyitem. and for legal advice pern General Attorney Kelly. For days stenographers have been busy opylng schedules In effect on other roads ml making comparisons with the schedules 'Ought ' to be put In effect March 1 , In order o be able to fully meet the objections raised o the scheduler by the employes , as repre- ented in the answer of the men filed In lulorado and Wyoming. When President Clark convenes the conference he will be applied with all the , facts leading up to tlio rder of Judge JJiinJy , made January 27. vhereln the receivers wro given authority o put In new schedules and do "those other hlngs which will be for the best Interests f the property " without further direction f tlio court. Ha will have the most ample opportunity to satisfy himself as to the justness of General Manager Dickinson's schedules and at the same time compare the statements of the men bearing on the same case. Whether each branch of labor will be heard separately Is a question , ( ( though It Is thought the entire delegation will ba admitted to the conference for mutual support and strength. Bvon though the men should fall In their efforts to convince President Clark that they have rights In the premises , the conference promises to bo far-reaching In Its effects at least , for It Will hove a tendency to strengthen the world of labor nnd make stronger tlir Ideas Of arbitration as against strike ) . CALIMVELL'S REASONS. Judge Caldwell , In explaining the reason for his order which hung up the Union Pacific schedules and made possible this con ference , stated In an Interview In St , Louis : "If receivers should apply for leave to re duce the existing scale of wages before actIng - Ing on their petition I would require them to give notice of the application to the officers or representatives of the several labor organizations to be affected by the change , of the time and place of hearing , and would nlso require them to grant such officers or representatives leave of absence and furnish tlvmn transportation to the place of hearing and subsistence while In attend ance , and I would hoar both sides In person or by attorneys , If they wanted attorneys to appear for them. The employes on a road In the hands of a receiver are the employes of the court , and as much In Its servlcp as the receivers themselves , and as muclr en titled to bo heard upon any proposed order of the court which would affect the whole body of employes. If , after a full hearing and consideration , I found that It was necessary , equitable and Just to reduce the scale of wages , I would give the employes ample tlmo to determine whether they would accept or reject the now scale. If they rejected It they would not bo enjplnod from quitting the service of the court , either singly or In a body. In othenivords , I would not enjoin them from striking , but If they made their election to strike. I. would make It plain to them that they must not , after quitting the service of the court , Jn- terfero with the property or the operation of the road or the men employed to take their places. A United States court can very readily find the means to effectually protect the property In Its possession nnd the per sons In Its employ. I have In one nr two Instances pursued the policy I have Indi cated , and the differences were satisfac torily adjusted. " But in the order ordering the copfcrence and appointing Receiver Clark to act as the arbiter of the questions nothing was said In regard to subsistence1 as mention-id In the Interview , the men of course being paid for their enforced attendance upon the conference as provided In their cgree- ments. Delegates will begin arriving Monday , and by Thursday It Is expected all the branches of labor on the system affected will be rep resented. The conference will be held be hind closed doors. UNION PACIFICKKOn _ ANIMATION. Hccclvcrs' Certiorates Will Not Ho Aslced for nt I'rescnt. * The rumor current In the railway circles recently that the Union Pacific receivers would shortly make application for an Issue of receivers' certificates , to tide the road over the present depression , Is now emphatIcally - ' Ically denied at the headquarters of the com pany. But It Is pretty well known that at the recent meeting of the receivers of the system In New York this matter was thor oughly discussed , the general Impression be ing that the application would have to be made. But the earnings Increased some what during the past month and the neces sity for receivers' certificates was corre spondingly lessened. i In this connection It may be stated that the reorganization committee of the Union Pacific Is trying to obtain a settlement of the government debt by repayment of , the entire debt with Interest at 2 per cent per annum through n sinking fund which will redeem the principal within ninety-nine , years. While this is considerably more * than It was thought the company could offer. It undoubtedly represents all the company ! can possibly pay. It Is evident the commit tee desires to make as fair a settlement with the government as possible , recognizing the nghts which the government has In the property. From a gentleman well posted In Union Pacific affairs It is learned that the com mittee has about practically decided to leave the prior mortgages on the main line , as well as many of those on the branch lines , undis turbed and to ask for the Junior securities such temporary sacrifice as they \CTII no doubt find it their Interest to concede. ATCiriSOX GOING FOK MIDOIU.V. Coniplulnt to the Chairman of the AVestcrn l''rolght ' AHsoclatloii. CHICAGO , March 10. The receivers of the Atchlson road have sent to Chairman Mldgoly a very tart telegram concerning the resolutions condemning the Atchlson of ficials passed by the'Western Freight asso ciation after the collapse of the anti-pass agreement. The telegram charged that Mr. Mldgely had railroaded through the meeting after the adjournment , and this with a doubtful quorum , the resolutions which gave such great offense to the Atchison , -He charged those who passed them with doing so in bad faith , as it was well known In the meeting that certainly Uyo lines , and prob ably more .represented were , at the time ref the meeting , gross violators , ot the agree ment from which they declared the Atchlson had no right to withdraw. Mr. MIdgely replied to the receivers tl-at he had no apologies to offer and no excuses to make , and. In short , proposed to stand by his resolutions. The end of this thing is not yet , as the passers of the resolution have openly admitted they are nrixfoiis to drive the Atchlson receivers from their places , and the Atchlson and Its friends have an Idea that Mr. Mldgely's position could be better filled than at present. Tlm Atchlson road may make another slash at the trans continental rates In the near future. It has found that Its competitors , notably the Union Pacific and the Rio Grande , are placing- with Growers tne return portions of Midwinter fair tickets and thereby making an $18 rate from San Francisco to the Missouri river. The Atchlson will probably meet the rates In a short time. To Sottlu the ItaloViir. . General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific stated to a reporter ofl1The Bee that the prospects for a settlement of the rate war was quite bright , his under standing being that the Santa Fo and South ern Pacific had commenced n discussion. 6t their differences , with a view to their ad justment. "As long as there Is any pros pect of an agreement being reached between these roads the Union Pacific wilt not at tempt to equalize the rates to Po'rtland , but should the conference between "tho Atrhlson and Southern Pacific fall , then wo would be compelled to equalize the rate tq Portland and the Sound country. Ho stated that matters wore on a very peaceful basis at this time , nnd thought that the differences between the Atchlson and Southern Pacific would be adjusted. Defeating tlu > So lpcrn. Thp passenger department of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul on the 1st of this month put Into effect IU new method of handling tickets , by which. It Is claimed , scalpers are prevented doing business on Its linos. All tickets presented by passen gers on trains leaving Chicago , Milwaukee , St. Paul , Minneapolis , Sioux CUty , Omaha , . Council Bluffs and Kansas City reading tp points beyond the run of the first conductor on the train will bo taken up when pre sented and continuous pasnage checks Is sued In their stead. This train check must show tbo date of Issue , number of train , destination , by what road Issued , and. In fact , a complete history of the ticket. Thus imuseJ portions of tickets cannot bo sold. To 1'rnveiit ArrldrntH. The Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul , 'not content with bavins an electrically lighted and heated train , removing thereby the moloch of the railroad , the car stove , will on Monday n xt put In service between Coun cil Bluffs and Chicago the block signal sys tem , with special wires and signals to oper ate the nyat m luceeasfully , Th system l such as 1 * used In England , and U de- to prevent rear end collision * , ID fact , It nrovenU.cJUslons of nny kind , under this new system no train Is per mitted to pass n. station until the preceding train has passed the station In advance , thereby Insuring an absolute separation of trains. Not satisfied with the Introduction of this system upon the main line of the road between Council IJluffa nnd Chicago , the St. Paul has greeted the same system between Chicago olufTSt. Paul , and on the Dubuque division between Savanna and La crosse , nnd on the/norUierrt division between Milwaukee nnd Horrtcou , In nil n total of 1,200 miles being equipped with this safety appliance , * TKAN.SCONTJNiSTAl ; : IIATKS. Another lllp Wurfthreitloned A Mrely CHICAGO , March 10. A bigger war In transcontinental rates than has yet occurred Is looming up on the horizon. The fight , when It comes , will he between the Atchlson and Southern Pacific on ono sldo and the Union Pacific on the other. The Hock Island and. probably , the Burlington , though this latter Is not certain , will favor the Atchlson and the Southern Pacific. Great Indigna tion Is expressed by the Southern Pacific against the Union Pacific for Its recent cutting of rates. It was announced today that the Northwestern and Union Pacific wcro making n rate of $31 ono way-and $54 for the round trip to California. The Atchlson was nt first Inclined to get out nnd cut a few rates Itself In order to meet this condition of affairs , but finally concluded that pending the settlement of the dispute with Jthe Southern Pacific It would create no more complications. Once this matter Is out of the way It will bo given nil the fight It cares for. The adjustment of the Atchlson-Southcrn Pacific quarrel Is pro gressing satisfactorily. There Is a ruptlon coming In the Western Freight association , and predictions are made freely that either Chalrm.au MIdgely must get out or 'there i Will be no association In the future. His answer yesterday to a message from the Atchlson was not calculated to pour oil on tle ) troubled waters , nnd the Atchlson will never remain n member o the association with Mr. MIdgely at Its head , and with the , Atchlson nnd the Union Pnclfic out the nsso- clatlon cannot hold together. Itullwny Notes. President Clark will probably arrive In Omaha early next week. General Mann.ger Holdrcgo Is again at his desk after a short absence on the line.

Manager Ilourkc of the now western asso ciation ball team has been In the city for several days overlooking the situation and laying his ropes for the practice season. Manager Hourke , It will bo remembered , Is an 'old Omaha ball player , having been a member of the original Western league team re irospntlns the Goto City. Uourko was th'en but a kid , but ho put up n game nt third base that caused most favorable com ment among the. profession throughout the country. IJIlly , however , was unsusceptible § to the malady * commonly known as "swelled hondvysd commdh among ball players , and , ( lesplto nUmeroud offers to go elsewhere , ( stuck to Omaha until July , when he was trans'fdrred by a , deal of the moguls to Uti- iutli. Hero' h6 played great ball and was a general favorite among the patrons of the game. In 1889 Kourko organized and managed the Grand Island , Neb. , State league .team , finishing the season with thu greatest eclat , Inasmuch ns the Grand Islanders won thd-pennant , liourko has been Intimately associated with the 'game since 1885 , and hi that tlmo has played with several winning teams , and has had extensive experience bbth as "a player and manager. Ho Is un 'Intelligent , gentlemanly fellow and has always occupied an enviable position of popularity In the different cities where ho has been engaged. Among the notable ball players Manager nourke has been Instrumental In bringing out might be mentioned Park Wilson , tlio present New York catcher , also Glerialvln , now with the Ghlcagos , both Low and Win Camp , Hilly Hoffer , the pitcher. Jimmy Martin , the _ catcher , Chnrllo Abbey , the Senator , I'ltcltor' ' Cobb , and n number of others who' Itavo' slhce shone In the great bas'e bait constellation with conspicuous brilliancy. " In speaking of the new Western associa tion Manager Hourko last evening said : "I have every" confidence In the success of the new organization ; the circuit Is compact , and 'all the cities represented full of llfo and push and enterprise. Another thing , the association Is constructed on the most eco nomical lines , will bo governed In strict ac cordance with business principles and must consequently prove a most gratifying suc cess. Again , the several teams will bo 100 per cent stronger than the public suspects , and , on my reputation as a Judge of playing standard , I predict wo will put up as good and exciting ball as has ever been seen In this western country. " "About our own team , Mr. Rourkc , what have you done ? " "Well , I have got Fear and Land , catchers , and you can depend upon It they are a pair of corkers ; McVlcker , a pitcher , who was with Frisco last year , and with Jollot during both of her championship seasons ; Jamison , another pitcher , with Savannah last year , a big follow with all kinds of speed , and a fine player all round. Drlstow , a pitcher , who was with fort Scott last year , and who pitched thirty-five games out of. which number he won thirty-one. That Is sufficient guarantee as to Brlstow's worth. .1 oin also negotiating with still another pitcher , an old Western leaguer , who will create a stir when his name Is given out , that Is If I get him and I am sure I will. For second base I have the Kenyon college second , Dllly Drlscoll , who they toll me Is the coming second Tjaseman of the country. " I am' expecting' great things from him. Ho Is out of sight on double plays and beats the world on touching a man on second. Boyle , who I have signed for short , Is another crackerjack. Ho was with San- dusky last season , and built up a "batting average of .326 , and led In stolen bases. For third I have the old reliable Jack Mun- yan , whom all ball patrons know , as he has played with the St. Louis Browns and the Minneapolis Western league team. Wood , the Nashville man , will be found In left field. I4p Is a sure catch , a great run-getter and a splendid all-'round man. Hendrlcks , from Kansas City , will be In center. Ho was In the Montana league last year and hit up with the .300 boys. Ho Is all right. Ho is very fast on the bases and can do hla hunched yards In lOVi. Cavanaugh will bo Inrlght. Ho Is a young fellow and comes highly recommended by White Wings Tebean of Denver. In fact , George wants to bet a Dunlap that Cavanaugh will bo as good as third on the batting list at the end of the season. I will play first myself , and of course the world knows that I am what "Papa" McCauley used to be that is , If you listen to me. That completes my team , with the exception of an additional battery. I am now negotiating with a catcher who has played hero before and who will bo re ceived with open arms by all the old cranks. " "When will the men report ? " "I want tohave them here by the 15th of April and will do so If we succeed In perfect ing all our arrangements here , and I think wo will. I will go to Grand Island tomor row , but return here for goocl within the next ten days. " HUNT TO MtSSOUltR M 'Coy-llj an 1'lglit Driven Out of Creston > by tlm Ciovcrnor. CHESTON , la. , March 10.
