UNION PACIFIC SALE. fiecetver Andemon Objects to the Central I'acinc llt me: Disposed of Separately. Hashiktox, Feb. 21. Mr. Ander son, a receiver of the Union Pacific railroad, and ex-Congressman Coombs, a government director, appeared be fore the house committee on Pccific railroad to-day. They asked that the Union and Central Pacific roads be put up for sale as a whole and given to the highest bidder. Mr. Anderson submitted au amendment to the bill presented to the committee by him, providing for the issue of patents to the several roads. The Union Pacific, he s-aid, had used the proceeds of the aie of land for the payment of in terest on bonds; what was done with the money secured from the bonds he did not know. The Union Pacific was very much misunderstood as to its financial ability, for, ihough it was insolvent. It had been able to jmy every bill for operating expenses. The proposition to sell the properties in separate parts was not good. They should be sold as a whole, and in that way would bring a much higher price than otherwise. All propositions for any other solution tiian a sale, he said, would meet with opposition from Congress, for however meritorious they might be, it was im possible to secure a unanimity of opin ion from so large abody. .Vr. Coombs agreed with the propo sition that the roads should be sold together and carry out the original plan that they should be a through line from the Missouri river to the Pacific The government would probably ob tain 575.000, GOO from them. It might be well, he said, for the government to protect itself by making an upset price. It would also be well to bring those persons owning terminal facili ties into the suit to settle the question whether the. terminals should be sold with the road. The government should not sell its lien upon the prop erties. If we can rid ourselves of this railroad scandal, he said, the value of our s-tocks all over the world would appreciate.

Indian Lobbr Making a Strong Fight Against the Measure. Washington, Feb. 21. Chairman Dawes of the commission that bears his name occupied practically the whole of the t ime that the Indian affairs committee of the House va able to give the commission to-day. His address was in support of the bill for the government of the territory. A concerted effort to defeat the measure appears to be making pro gress. President Cleveland assured the. Indians and. the commissioners alike that he would sign any measure which came to him preserving the gen eral features of the bill tentatively submitted by the Dawes commission. Acting upon that information, the Indian lobby is manifesting the strong est zeal in behalf of amendments which would make the bill extremely radical. In House and Senate alike the lobby is laboring for its defeat. LIVE STOCK MEN. They Ask Congress for Reciprocal Legis lation in Foreign Markets. Washington, Feb. 21. The officers and members of the executive board of the National Live Stock Exchange of Chicago, St. Louis.

They complained especially of the restrictions placed upon importations of American cattle by foreign countries and contended that there was no foundation for the charge that American live stock is diseased. Senators Warren, Gear and (Jeorge were appointed a sub-committee to in vestigate the question and report. EDISON AND THE X RAYS. The Wizard Succeeds in Taking an In stantaneons Picture.

FOR That Iteing the Amount Needed to Ren der Successful the Coming Trans-Mississippi Exposition A Conference with Senator Thnrston Advice as to How to Enhance the Project. The Trans-Misslsslppl Exposition. Omaha, Feb. 21. At the request of a committee of the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition company a number of business men of Omaha gathered at the Commercial club rooms to confer with Senator Thurston re garding the best means of expediting legislation necessary to promote the success of the exposition. .Vice Presi dent G. W. Wattles of the Union Na tional bank presided. Senator Thnrs ton and a number of leading business men of Omaha were present. Chairman Wattles said that consider able progress had been made toward securing the endorsement of the scheme. Among the bodies that had announced themselves in faTor of it were the Nebraska Press association, the beet sugar convention of Nebraska, the various labor unions of Nebraska and the Iowa legislature. He 6tated that the matter was now before the na tional legislature, having been intro duced in both the senate and the house. He said that the action of the Trans Mississippi congress had started the ball a-rolling, and that wherever the plan had been mentioned it met with instant favor. He said that great ad vantages had come to the south through the Atlanta exposition. He was sure immigration and capital would be at tracted to the western states by the ex position proposed. Senator Thurston, who is chairman of the senate committee having the bill in hand, said that he came to the meet ing for the purpose of learning the de sire of the Omaha people in regard to the exposition more than to speak on the matter himself. He said that he was glad he was chairman of the committee to which the senate bill was referred, since he would have the opportunit3r of giving it his personal attention. He thought the disposition of congress was to give the exposition just about the same amount of aid that was given to Atlanta. "You will understand," said he, "the government of the United States is not in the exposition business. All it does is to attend to the government exhibit. It provides for the formation of such exhibits, its transportation, the em ployment of officials to look after it and the erection and maintenance of a building in which it may be housed. That's all the aid that can be expected. Of course, the Columbian exposition was of national character and received more support." Senator Thurston said that what he desired especially to know was the amount of money the business men thought best to request. He said that an appropriation sufficient to insure success should be askedior, lest serious criticism of the bill be challenged. He thought that it might be wise to pass the bill through the senate, with the amount of the appropriation left blank. The endorsement of the senate would have weight with the house. Later the senate would concur with the house on any reasonable amount that the lat ter might suggest. He recommended securing endorsement from as many states as possible and suggested that prominent men in other western states be asked to write to their representa tives in congress concerning the enter prise. "There is a disposition all through the country favorable to any thing that the west may ask for in order to help itself. I've sounded sen timent regarding it pretty thoroughly, and can safely say that there wilt be no serious objection encountered. " i Z. T. Lindsey spoke of the trip to Iowa. He said that the people there were as enthusiastic regarding it as were the Nebraskans. "There is no question but that every business man and property owner in this region is back of it with all his might." i Mr. Rosewater recommended that S250.000 be asked for. He said that if as much aid was secured as was given ' Atlanta there would be no doubt that the Omaha exposition would be a much greater success. He declared that the exposition would be the greatest thing for Nebraska since it became a 6tate. I He urged active work all along the line, and especally from now until the pas sage of the bill, which must be secured before the adjournment of congress. He predicted that the moment the bill became a law the value of Omaha prop erty would go up 2.1 per cent. ' Senator Thurston thought that the limit of the appropriation should be fixed at $200,000. He said that there was a great demand for keeping down : the expenses of the government this year, and that it was best to ask for a conservative amount at this time. Mr. Lindsey said that the trans-Mississippi region was an empire of twenty four states, and that the Omaha exposi tion would completely outshine the ex position of the Cotton States. He Thought that Nebraska's representa tives were proceeding upon an errone ous assumption when they considered that the exposition of 189s was to be on the level with that held at Atlanta. He urged an appropriation of S.100,000. L. II. Hradley favored a small appro priation at this time, but wanted the limit of the government's appropria tion set at 8500,000. He thought that but few present realized the great scope of the exposition. Senator Thurston said, "This is the experience I've had with the gentle men of Omaha. They don't like to play to a small limit." A vote on the amount of the appro priation to be asked for was almost unanimous in deciding on 2.10,000. Congress will be asked to appropriate $50,000 of this amount at once. The Pope Approves a Decree of Divorce. Halifax, N. S., Feb. 21. A decree of divorce, approved by Pope Leo, the first of its kind ever recorded in Cana da, has been granted to John Keefe, separating him Irom his wife on tbe ground of infidelity on the part of the woman. Much interest is excited by the concession from Rome, as never before has a divorce been recognized in this country by a Roman Catholic authority. The decree granted Keefe is not only one of separation, but it permits a remarriage. A legal disso lution of the marriage has also been obtained from the Supreme court. A Message About Shoes. When Senator Stephen Ii. Elk ins was in Philadelphia the other day he told an interesting story of his election to his present seat. "I was sitting in my study at my country home," said he, "awaiting the returns that would tell me whether or not I had been chosen to take the place of Senator Camden. The operator at the telegraph station had orders to open all telegrams ad dressed to me, and to telephone their contents to me immediately. Suddenly the telephone rang, and the children's governess, who answered the 'phone, came to me and told me the person at the other end of the wire was saying something about 'shoes,' she couldn't quite make it out. Oh, said I, 'it's my wife's shoemaker, probably. Tell "him to let the matter rest until tomorrow. ' She delivered the message, but returned shortly to say that the man insisted upon talking to me. I went to the tel ephone. It was the telegraph opera tor, and the message he was trying to send me was: 'Whin shall I send you my shoes? Johnson R. Camden.' Then I knew that I had been chosen to fill the shoes of that worthy gentleman. Philadelphia Record. Unpardonable Presumption. "You know those people that lire in that two story house across the way the Gumpersons, or some Mich name?" "Yes, I know them when I see them." "I have a passing acquaintance with them. Speak to them when I meet any of them on the street. Well, one of the girls stopped me while I was out walking the other morning. She said, 'Miss Highfly, your house wasn't broken into last night and robbed, was it?' I said: 'No. Why?' And she said: 'I'm glad to hear it. I dreamed , last night somebody had got into your house through the kitchen window and stolen ever so many valuable things.' Think of the presumption of it! Dream ing about us! And they aren't in our set at alL" Chicaeo Tribune. Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. A well-known New York financier, who recently made a business and pleasure trip through Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, in a letter to a friend gives some very interesting data and information relative to "The Land of the Fair God." He says, in part: 'When I recall my experiences, while in Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, it seems to me to be more like a dream than a reality. I never was more fa vorably impressed with a people, and the resources of the country are truly wonderful. "Before making this trip I was im bued with the idea, so prevalent among the people of the east, that this terri tory have little in common with the in terests of our people, and was a place fitted more by nature for an abode for the red man and a rendezvous for out laws than a home for a civilized and Christian people. A personal investi gation and inspection of the country early dispelled this idea, and I found that nine-tenths of the sensational arti cles of outlawry and other tragedies credited to that country eminated alone from the fertile brain of some over-enthusiastic newspaper correspondent. "The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas systems of railroads each lead into and across this country, and the great amount of cattle, hogs, wheat, cotton and other produce shipped out from there evidences the fact of the fertility of the soil and the productiveness of the country. "The Indian Territory is rich in its mineral lands and coal fields, and these Industries are only in their infancy, while the cheapness of the land and rich soil over the greater part of Okla homa offers inducements to capitalists as well as the farming and laboring class of our people. "There Is still some fair hunting in the Kechl hills, southwest of Anni darko and in the Gloss mountains, and the streams are well supplied with fish. "Crop prospects are exceptionally good, and undoubtedly the coming sea son will see a large emigration from tha east to that country." Mrs. Emily Crawford, the well-known Paris correspondent, contributes to the March Century a biographical sketch of Alexandre Dumas the elder. The article is a succession of anecdotes of the old novelist, and presents him in a very picturesque light. Mrs. Crawford has an account of the Bohemians and 'sponges" who took advantage of Du mas' prodigality, and of his architec tural folly, the Chateau Monte Cristo, with its strange menagerie. Spoiling: Potatoes. In a bulletin issued by Prof. Snyder of the Minnesota State Agricultural college he makes a point of interest to the housewife. He shows that where potatoes are peeled and started to boil ing in cold water there is a loss of 80 per cent of the total albumen, and where they are not peeled and started in hot water this loss is reduced to 2 ! per cent. A bushel of potatoes weigh- j ing sixty pounds, containing about two t pounds of total nitrogenous compounds ' when properly cooked one-half pound is lost, containing six-tenths of a pound of the most valuable proteids. : It requires all of the protein from nearly two pounds of round beefsteak to replace the loss of protein from im- ; properly boiling a bushel of potatoes.

Cause of the F.xplosion a Mystery Ma chinery Was Wrecked, and It is Im possible to Ciet Air Into the Shaft Gas and Smoke Interfere With the Work of Rescue Great Labor to Ke eover Bodies of the Miners. Disaster in a Coal Mine. Newcastle, Feb. CoL, 20. An un known number of men are dead as the result of a terrible explosion that oc curred in the Vulcan mine, one of the coal properties of the Atchison, To peka and Santa Fe Railway company, at 11:20 yesterday forenoon. Usually seventy-five men are employed in the mine, but less than this number were at work when the explosion occurred yesterday. There is little doubt that all who were at work are dead. The number of victims cannot now be accurately stated, estimates run ning from fifty to seventy. Those best informed think the number is very likely between fifty-five and sixty. The excitement at present is so intense that efforts to secure a complete list are useless. The only man who got out of the mines at the time of the explosion was Edward Welch, who was near the mouth of the tunnel and was blown out. His tkull was fractured, arm broken, the face badly cut and burned and all the hair burned from his head. He was breathing when found, but expired shortly after without showing consciousness. The miners who es caped direct death from the explosion must have been quickly suffocated by gas, as all means of ventilation were cut off. The first news of the disaster was a report as from 100 cannon. People rushed out of their homes and places of business to see what had happened and one look toward the Vulcan mine was sufficient, for a dense cloud of smoke issuing from the mouth of the slope told the tale of death. A throng of people was soon at the scene of dis aster, a distance of nearly two miles from Newcastle. A glance was enough to dissipate any hope for the lives of the entombed men. The force of the explosion had caused a cave-in and the tunnel and air courses were filled with the fallen rock, earth and timbers. Both fan houses were wrecked and the slope and vicinity were so full of the debris and the gas was so bad that it was hard and dangerous work to begin the rescue. Nevertheless, willing hands were soon at work and five men went down as far as possible to ascertain the con dition of the slope and found it such that it will require great labor to re cover the bodies of the miners. The gas was so bad that after the party had gotten 200 feet they were com pelled to return. As soon as the news of the explosion reached Newcastle, Superintendent Paul lilount closed the mines of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, and, taking his miners, left for the Vulcan mines, where all are actively at work aiding in the attempts at rescue. There are two shafts in addition to the one in which the explosion took place. In the upper of these two the rescuers are in about 300 feet and it is through this that the air can be forced into some of the rooms, but none of those in the mine have come out, and it is feared that this is conclusive evi dence that all are dead. The cause of the explosion is not yet known. The coal fields in which the Vulcan mine is located have been troubled with subterranean gases for many years. In many places over an urea of eighty to 100 miles smoke has issued from crevices in the rocks since the country was first known to white men, and in later years more than one valuable coal mine has been destroyed by fire breaking inio the workings. A little over a year ago the mines of the Vulcan company had to be flooded on this account, and the old workings have never been reopened. The drift where yesterday's accident occurred was a new one. It is thought the dis aster may have been caused by the breaking into an immense pocket of gas, generated by these everlasting fires. On February 8, State Coal Mine Inspector Griffith inspected the mine and pronounced it in splendid condi tion ana the work i?SaWol? JS5 done at all times manner. STILL AFTER mr. morton. oed Distribution Made Obligatory Upon 'the Secretary. Washington', Feb. 20. The house yesterday passed the agricultural ap propriation bilL It carries 3, 158. 192. The section of the Revised Statutes for the purchase and distribution of "rare and uncommon' seeds, which Secretary Morton declined to execute in the current appropriation law, was repealed, the appropriation for seeds was increased from $130,000 to 8150,000, and its execution was made mandatory upon the secretary. Mr. Cousins of Iowa introduced his amendmdnt to reduce Mr. Morton's salary from SS,000 to S25 until he ex pended the appropriation in the cur?' rent law, but the amendment was ruled out on a point of order. Several amendments to the meat inspection act of 181)!, recommended by Secretary Morton, which would have given him additional power to enforce regula tions and have strengthened the law by the imposition of penalties for vio lations, were stricken out.
