Under the new law Nebraska
state warrants will draw five per
cent,. insteatdTof seven aslieretofore,
a saving of two per cent to the 'peo
ple who pay the taxes.
The constitutional amendments
passed by the lately deceased legis
lature will not be submitted to the

There will be a full county ticket
elected this fall and already candi
dates are being mentioned. If the
republicans nominate straightfor
ward and competent men, and this
they will undoubtedly do, but little
trouble will be experienced in elect
ing them. . It is generally conceded
that Messrs, Buchanan; Burritt and
Miller will be renominated bv the
-
pops; that is the gang" says they
will be, and the gang" generally
triumphs over its weak and lowly
followers. But this is another of
those republican years and B. B.
and M. will not be "in it" to any
alarming extent.
A recent dispatch from New
York says: J. Pierrepont Morgan
and the other trustees have isssued
a circular to the holders of the out
standing $i0,959,000 6 per cent
collateral, trust notes of the Union
Pacific railway, in which they say
they have received notification that
the receivers of the road cannot
keep up the installments of interest.
They do not think it wise to com
pel the payment of the notes by a
compulsory sale of the collateral
which, they add, is more than ade
quate for the ultimate redemption
of the notes. It is expected that
the income from the pledges of
securities will be sufficient to meet
the interest 'accruing 'On the bonds
in August next.
The American Economist says:
A stroll, through the wholesale
dry goods district of New York City
will convince the most skeptical
that wholesale houses, large and
small, are taking advantage of this
era of Gorman Free-Trade to buv
everything in their line anywhere
but in the United States. The side
walks along the dry goods sections
are blocked with those, strong,
heavy boxes bearing the inscription
','Made in England," "Made in
France," "Made in Germany," &c.
This looks to the casual obsever
like good times and prosperity, but
when we consider that when
each one of these foreign boxes and
bales throws a dampening shower
on our own furnace fires, and that
the prosperity is over the water and
not here, the whole business as
sumes another aspect. An employe
of the New York Custom House has
stated that during his twenty years
of service he has never before seen
such a volnme of imports as is now
entering the country. The whole
custom house force, as well as
many substitutes, are employed on
full time. This is prosperity for
the custom house employee, but it
is destitution for the American
workman."
Work of the Legislature-
The. legislature, which adjourned
las I week passed a total of 129 bills,
exceeding the number of any pre
vious legislature for many sessions.
The total number passed in the
1893 session was seventy, in the
1891 seventy-seven, and in the 1889
118. Ot the bills passed this session
seventy-four originated in the
house and fifty-seven in the senate.
A few of the more important are
mentioned.
The bill prohibiting the sale or
use of oleomargerine and butterine
and its manfacture except for ex
port, senate file No. 78, was one
that affects Nebraskans as closely
as any bill that was passed.
The legislature also reduced the
interest on state warrants from 7
per cent to 5, which will make a
very material saving to the state.
The Australian ballot law was
amended by senate file No. 231, so

Themoney indemnity is expressed in

The tael is in reality a weight instead
of a coin. It is considered silver money.
While the face value at $1.33 would be
eanivalent to $399,000,000 in silver, it is
said the acfcaal value would le between
$210,000,000 and $230,000,000 in gold
The fifth term, as to a new treaty, in
eludes various trade features, such as
free access of Chinese rivers. There is
no demand for territory on the main
land outside of Port Arthur and its con
tiguous surroundings.
UNSPEAKABLE WILDE CASE.
Oscar and His Friend Taylor Remanded
For a Week Without Bail.
London. April 11. An immense
throng was gathered outside and inside
of the Bow street police station today,
when Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor
were brought from the prison at an early
hour in a Black Maria iu order to be ex
amined on remand, on the charge of
having committed serious misdemean
ors. The court opened at 11 o'clock
with both prisoners in the dock.- Wilde
looked haggard and worn and it was no
ticed that he has greatly changed since
he appeared on the witness stand of the
Old Bailey to prosecute his suit for libel
against the Marquis of Queensberry, the
collapse of which action in such an un
expected and sensational manner led to
his arrest and the subsequent terrible
discloures. Wilde today was much
more subdued, although he smiled once
or twice at certain questions which were
put to him.
Taylor, Wilde's fellow prisoner, the
man who is charged with acting as pro
curer for the author and dramatist, be
haved in the same sneeringly indifferent
manner as when arraigned last week,
and was evidently not so deeply im
pressed -with- the- seriousness, of the
charges brought against him as was
Wilde. The prisoners are evidently
making a desperate fight. Tho lawyers
today delayed the proceedings in every
possible way, and the examination of
the accused promises to be a protracted
affair.
Charles Parker, the 19-year-old boy
who was examined on Saturday last.
and 'who related at length on the stand,
giving the most minute details, his inti
macy with Wilde, was again placed in
the witness box today. He was sub
jected to cross-examination by Sir Ed
ward Clarke, but his testimony was not
shaken. Prosecutor Gill next placed
on the stand a man named Fred Atkins,
20 years of age, and described as a var
iety singer. Atkins, in reply to ques
tions put to him by Mr. Gill, said that
Wilde took him to Paris in 1893 Furth
er testimony furnished by the same wit
ness was similar to that given by young
men and boys who have been previous
ly examined in this extraordinary case.
After the police had presented evi
dence concerning his arrest, Wilde and
Taylor were remanded for a week, bail
being refused.
Crossed the Shander Pass.
Calcutta, April 11. A dispatch from
Simla, dated noon today, says that Col
onel Kelly, the commander of the Brit
ish forces which have been attempting
to reach Chitral from Gilgit since .March
25, has succeeded in crossing the Shan
der pass and was about 60 miles from
Chitral on April 7. The march of the
troops was a most arduous and brilliant
military exploit. The pass is 12,000 feet
high and is impassable to beasts of bur
den. Consequently tho pioneers had to
carry the field and mountain guns dur
ing the last seven miles of the route
throug'b deep snow and with the weather
intensely cold. The troops suffered in
many cases from frost bites.
Russia a Good Neighbor.
Friedrichsruh, April 1J. Prince
Bismarck, replying to a deputation rep
resenting the Germans in Odessa today,
begged his hearers to foster the politi
cal friendship, which, he insisted, was
so necessary to. both Germany and Rus
sia, adding: "Russia is certainly a bet
ter neighbor than many another,"
Flood FaUlng In New Jersey.
Bordentown, April 11. The flood

Forty Ccats Per Kami.
Pittsburg, April 11. The oil excite
ment here continues unabated. The
Standard put their price up 15 cents, to
$1 50. On the exchange cash oil opened
at $1.50 and sold np to $1.60. The open
ing sale was a cash order for 1,000 bar
rels at $1.50 and the next sale was made
at $1.58. The first sale in May op
tions was at $1.60 and it was then bid
up to $1.68.
This is the highest oil has been sines
1877, when it sold as high as $3.53.
Sneculation. which has hitherto been
confined to National transit certificates,
has been transferred to Mellon pipe line
certificates, and a sale of 1,000 barrels
was made here today.
So far this week the advance amounts
to 40 cents per barrel by the Standard,
and 43 cents on the exchange for the
May option. To the producers of west
ern Pennsylvania and West virgini
this means $37,500 a day more than they
were getting for their oil last week, or
an increase of $1,125,000 per month.
The total market value of the product
is nearly 13.000.000 per month. It has
greatly stimulated activity in the field.
and not only furnishes additional work
for manv hundreds of oil drillers, but
has also increased the demand for iron
and steel supplies consumed in the busi
ness.
BATE WAR
GETTING WARM.
the Next to Be
Overland Passenger Rates
Slashed.
Los Angeles, April 11. It is possible
that overland nassenger rates may be
slashed in consequence of the Southern
Pacific havinsr criveu notice that it will
withdraw from the sale of tickets to St.
Paul and Minnesota points by way of El
Paso, Fort Worth and Kansas City and
also by way of Ogden and Kansas City.
This is a direct blow at the Texas and
Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and the Rock Island; also the Missouri
Pacific from Pueblo, Colo. The Santa
Fe has not shown any intention of fol
lowing the lead of the Southern Pacific,
so its second class will remain at $47.90
to St. Paul and Minnesota points, while
the Southern Pacific rate will be $54.20
The Iron Mountain road has withdrawn
from the passenger association, and
what action taken by the roads unfavor
ably affected remains to be seen.
Dole Awaiting: Development?.
San Francisco, April 11. The
steamer Alameda arrived today, bring-
ing tne louowing Hawaiian aa vices,
dated April 4: The first news brought
here of tha troubles existing between
Minister Thurston and Secretary
Greshamwas received by the China

surprise in official circles, as well as to
the community. The government is
quietly awaiting developments. If Mr.
Thurston returns permanently to Hono
lulu, Minister Hatch, of the foreign de
partment, will succeed him, if Mr.
Hatch will accept the position.
International Prison Congress.
Mansfield, O., April 11. General R.
Brinkerhoff, who succeeded ex-President
Hayes as president of tfce Prison
Reform congress of the. United States,
is in receipt of a letter from Albert Ri
viere, general secretary of the Prison as
sociation, Paris, France, in which he
states that at a meeting of the officers
of the ministers of the Interior recent
ly hold, it was decided that the Interna
tional Prison congress, which is to take
place this year in Pari3, will open its
session on the 30th of June next at the

resolution, and provides that the ques
tion of giving Cook county a separate

people.

Springfield, His., April 11. TiV
building and loan association committee
Bf the Illinois house adopted a resolu
tion .offered by Bepresentative Loweu
thal to investigate the "Interstate
Building and Loan association of Bloom
ington, Bis."
Mr. Lowenthal addressed the com
mittee at length regarding the associa
tion's condition. He explained that the'
president of the association, Adlai F.
Stevenson, vice president of the United
States, was in the habit of receiving
$300 a month in payment for his serv
ices as attorney. He also spoke cf thf.
alleged illegal methods employed in is
suing shares of stock. The total ainoun-,
alleged to have been illegally paid out
by the association during its existence
was said to be $169,000. His resolution
recites many instances of alleged viola
tions of the statutes in making loans,
etc.; alleges that the association is main
taining in Chicago an expensive office
and agent at a large salary and that the
income from the business of this office
does not equal 25 per cent of the ex
pense incurred.
Loaned oa Worthless Security.
It alleges further that the association,
through its worthless management in
Chicago, has lost for the stockholders at
least 50,000; that about 40 foreclosure
suits have been begun against it and
that it has acquired title to land by
foreclosure proceedings which have not
been reported in the last statement to
the state auditor. It cites further that
H, C. Bunn, son of T. J. Bunn, secre
tary of the association, is agent in Chi
cago and as such has obtained from his
father large sues of stockholders'
money which has loaned on worth
less security beoruse by so doing he got
extortionate commissions and refused to
pay borrowers large sums of this money
when the same became due and payable,
and alio wad liens to be filed against
borrowers' premises so he could buy
the m up at small per centages; and that
he constantly refused to make good
loans because applicants refused extor
tionate demands made upon them for
large commissions, by which means he
has sunk and squandered thousands of
dollars of the stockholders' money.
Oflcers Seceired Stockholders.
