WASHINGTON ; July 23. Acting Sec
retary Wharton of the state depart
ment has received the following cable
gram from Minister Whitolaw Reid at
Paris : "Bill fixing duty on pork not
reached in the senate before final ad
journment. " It is understood at the
department that the bill referred to
was attached to the new tariff bill ,
which was passed by the lower house
and sent to the senate for its action.
The failure of the latter body to con-
aider the pork section before adjourn
ment was caused by the intervention
of other measures and did nqt follow
from any antagonism to the pork sec
tion , which it is expected will be con
sidered soon after the assembly recon
venes next autumn.

O.MAIIA , July 22. Following is u

11. R. No. 104. An act to regulate
\ the hours of labor of mechanics , ser-

He it enacted by the legislature of
Tllift cf < i t rt nfTr K oclr
bsction 1. That eight hours shall
constitute a legal day's work for all
classes of mechanics , servants and la
borers throughout the state of Nebras
ka , excepting those engaged in farmer
or domestic labor.

iiiir IJilllcult Problems.
WASHINGTON , July 22. Two of theme
mo = t difficult problems which Secre
tary Foster has had to settle since he
assumed office have been in connection
with the refunding of the bonds which
fall due this autumn and the coinage
of silver. The secretary realized ,
when called upon to make his plans ,
that ho had to steer between the devil
and the ueei > sea and that no matter
course woulu certainly bring down on
him an etiuless amount of criticism ,
but in order that he might have the
views of some of the best financiers of
the country , he sent out a number of
letters to bankers in the different states
and asked for their views on the ques
tion of refunding the maturing bonds
at a lower rate of interest and also for
Their opinions as to the silver coinage
continuance , the last silver act having
given him authority to use his own uis-
crction in the matter of continuing the
coinage of silver bullion after July 1.
Contrary to the usual customs of the
gentlemen TO whom the secretary
wrote , they promptly responded and ,
very much to his surprise , the replies
were unanimous in favor of extending
the bonu = . and with the exception of f
a few eastern bankers , there was also
an almost unanimous endorsement of
the continued coinage of silver. The
general tenor of the replies to the lat
ter question was , that inasmuch as
liiere exists an impression throughout
the country that the volume of cur
rency was too small , it could do no
harm to continue the existing coinage
rates.
i-c < velary Foster at the same time
consulted a number of senators wiio
ir.ke the greatest interest in financial
affairs and ttiey. without exception ,
coincided with the views of the bank
ers to the effect that the bonus should
be continued and that silver coinage
should not be stopped. Secretary Fos
ter therefore had the endorsement of
the best financial minds of the country
be-fore adopting his policy , and since
it was announced that the bonds would
le extended and that silver coinage
would continue , he has constantly received -
ceived assurances that in both these
jnatters he has pleased the public.
p Kaiit Severely Scores the Iii-
dian Commissioner.
WHEELING , W. Va. , July 23. The
Intelligencer of this city prints a letter
from lit. Rev. John Kain , bishop and
a member of t'ne Roman Catholic board
for the distribution of funds. In the
letter he says , in regard to the pending
trouble in Indian affairs , that it is a
mistake that the controversy is between i
the commissioner and the bureau , and
therefore does not necessarily touch
schools under Catholic control. He
savs : "The question at issue does not
II
< *
touch vitally the intercuts of our Cath
olic Indian schools. From his very in
duction into office. Mr. Morgan has
shown his anti-Catholic bigotry.
Whom did lie appoint , as an inspector
of Indian schools but a Protestant min
ister. Rev. Dr. Dorchester , whom Arch
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia forced to
retract a gross slander published by
Dorchester against himself ( Ryan. )
What was Dorchester's first official act ?
The removal of several Catholic teach
ers because of their religion. As a
member of the board for the distribu
tion of the funds collected in our coun
try for the Indian mission the board
consists of Arch bishop Ryan and my
self. I am in a position to know that
Commissioner Morgan has dealt most
unjustlj' toward our Indian schools.
If the numbers educated in the
Catholic Indian schools are greater
than in protestant schools why should
not the appropriations for their sup
port be also greater ? The fact is that
Morgan , seeing the superior excellence
of Catholic Indian schools , would like
to secularize the whole system , which ,
unfortunately for the poor Indians ,
the government has refused to en
dorse.
"The chairman of the committee on
Indian affairs said the other day that
the reason of the success of the Jesuits
more than any other sect was that they
devoted their whole lives to the work.
Ha btruck the key to the whole situa
tion. Take a protestaiit clergyman
and send him to the west. I don't carp
how zealous he may be , he goes there
half aovoting himself to this unusual
life. Today the Indians are advanced
100 per cent over any other civiliza
tion , at least in Montana. Fifty years
ago the Jesuits went among them and
today you see the results. Among all
those tribes , commencing with the
Shoshones , the Aranahoes. the Gros-
veutres , the Blacifoot , the Piegans ,
the River Crows , the hoods , the As-
sinaboincs , the only ray of light I saw
was in the Flathead reservation in the
Jesuit mission schools.
Irian open letter of January 31 ,
1891 , Bishop Stanley of Jamestown.
X. D. , says : "The Indian missions of
my diocese have suffered * beyond tell
ing through Morgan , and they are now
in almost hopeless condition. If the
administration continues to sustain the
bicrolry of Morgan and Dorchester it
may regret its course when the Cath
olic votes are heard from next fall a
year. ' "
The threat contained in the closing
paragraph , in view of the large Cath
olic support given the republican ticket
in 1888. may be taken as rather sig
nificant.
VamlcrbiltH Will Secure Control of
the Delaware & Iliidmon.
NEW Yonir , July 22. It is more
than probable , says the Herald , that
before this week closes a most impor
tant railroad deal will be brought to a
close. When Dr. Seward Webb started
his Adirondack & St. Lawrence road
many people believed the New York
Central was behind the enterprise and
that the intention was to freeze out the
Chateaugay road and so bring the Del
aware & Hudson canal company to
terms. For the last three weeks Dr.
Webb and Smith M. Weed have had.
almost daily conferences in Plattsburg
and at Shelburne , and as Mr. Weed
controlled three-fifths of the Chateau-
gay stock a deal was soon arranged
which virtually gave Webb control of
the road at a price which cannot yet
be learned. A provision of the agree
ment was , however that the Delaware
& Hudson , in which Weed is a heavy
stockholder , would come to some
agreement.

Cannon , President Oiiphant and other
large stockholders of the road in New
York and explained to them that they
had better sell out their entire railroad
system to the Vanderbilts. Mr. Weed ,
it is said , explained to the interested
persons that their coal property was
of much greater value than the rali-
road system and that the New York
Central had already agreed to give
then : a fair tonnage rate on the coal
and a good price for the stock of the
road. Mr. Weed said that he had given
Dr. Webb an option on the Chateau-
gay road , which brought the Deleware
& Hudson most of their Champlain di
vision earnings.
The Delaware & Hudson people were
very ansjry at Mr. Weed , but he told
i them they could have the Chateaugay
i road on the same terms as Dr. Webb
i had oil'ered him ; that the road was in
the market , and that he would rather
see it controlled by the Delaware &
Hudson than by any other company ,
} but that to him it was plain that the
Central would parallel the road , and
that now was the time to get out.
Since that tune Mr. Oiiphant has
been the guest of Mr. Weed and" the
| New York Central people have in-
I srected the Delaware & Hudson property -
; erty and tilings have been very friend
ly between all those interested. Wed
nesday a meeting of the Delaware &
Hudson directors will be held in New
York , if they can be got together. Mr.
Weed and General Manager Inman of
the Chateaugay will be present , and it
is believed that the terms which Dr.
Webb has offered will be accepted and
that the Yanuerbilt will control the en
tire Delaware & Hudson and Chateau-
j i gay systems.

Political GoKlp.
WASHINGTON , July 24. IL is gener
ally believed here that the resignation
of Senator Quay as chairman of the
republican national committee will be
followed by a general reorganization ol
that body. At the present time Gen
eral Dudley is the treasurer of the
committee.
General Dudley has so much private
business to look after that it is thought
he will tender his resignation at the
same time that Mr. Quay steps out.
In that event the understanding among
republicans here is that the committee
will select Mr. Henry C. Payne of Wis
consin as the successor to General
Dudley. The only thing in the way
of Mr. Payne's selection is the fact that
Mr. Clarkson is almost certain to be
elected chairman and ihe fact that Mr.
Clarkson is from Iowa and Mr. Payne
from an adjoining state may militate
against the latter. In this event , it is
thought that Mr. Conger of Ohio will
be chosen.
Nebraxka ( Jraiti Inspection Law.
LINCOLN , Neb. , July 24. The fol
lowing letter has been issued , signed
transportation :
The secretaries of the state board of
transportation , who have in charge
the establishment of rules , grades , etc. ,
of the new grain inspection law , hav
ing called a meeting of the farmers
and grain men of the state and all
others interested in the practical oper
ations of the new law , to be held at
hincoln , at the office of the board of
transportation , Wednesday , July 21) ) .
the secretaries urge the attendance of
all raisers and shippers of grain who
who have practical knowledge in this
line , that a general interchange of
views may be had , and grades and
rules be established that will meet the
practical situation as it is in Nebraska
and secure the successful operation of
the new law.
In establishing grades it is import
ant to consider our location as a state
to the various markets where we must
compete with other grain producing
states. No two states produce the
same proportions or the same quality
of grain. For instance , Minnesota has
all wheat and no corn , and her wheat
is all spring wheat of a peculiar quali
ty , not duplicated in this state or Kan
sas. Kansas raises both wheat and
corn , but her wheat is all winter wheat ,
while Nebraska produces both spring
and winter wheat , and the indications
are in the near future , that the pro
portions of winter and spring wheat
will be nearly equal in this state.
In establishing our grades we cannot
therefore copy after the standard now
in force in anyone particular market ,
but must make our grades meet the
established grades of those markets
where each particular product is most
in demand.
Chicago is considered the best mar
ket for spring wheat , rye , llax and
barley , while the St. Louis market is
best for winter wheat , corn and oats.
11 we estaoiisn our graues wiiu reiur-
ence to the Chicago standard altogeth
er , we will be at a disadvantage on
winter wheat , corn and oats , while if
we take the St. Louis standard through
out we will be at a disadvantage on
spring wheat , rye , barley and flax.
It is important therefore , that all
interested in the inspection law should
meet together and consult with refer
ence to these grades , so that there may
be a mutual understanding and a mu
tual interest. Each raiser and shipper
of grain is hereby invited to meet us
on the above date and give us-the ben
efits of his advice and cooperation.
A Monument to Stonewall JTark on.
LEXINGTON , Va. , July 23. Thirty
years ago yesterday on the battle field
of Bull Run General Thomas Jackson
received the sobriquet of ' 'Stonewall , "
the name by which ho is known the
world over. Yesterday the honor and
respect in which he was held was tes
tified to by a gathering of ex-confed
erates who assisted in the unveiling of
a monument to his memory. Thous
ands of people had poured into Lex
ington for several days and the city
was crowded , Hed , white and blue
was everywhere seen and the good old
stars and stripes iloated in the breeze.
On many structures national , state and
confederate battle Hags were artisti
cally blended. Not less than 3,000
from every state that cast its lot with
the secessionists. Probably not less
than 10,000 members wore the blue
and in the throngs the blue raiment
and brass buttons of the Grand Army
of the Republic were to be seen every
where. The day was ushered in by
salvos of artillery from Hock I'idge
battery. At 11 a.m. the preliminary
exercises were held at the campus of
Washington and Lee university , where
a grand stand had been erected front
ing the main building and overlooking
a broad expanse of rising ground form
ing an ampitheatre equai to the ac
commodation of 40,000 people. Hon.
Wade Hampton was the presiding ofii-
cer , and to the rightand left of him on
the grand stand were groups of sur
viving officers of the confederates and
other prominent persons. With a few
words of greet'ng General Hampton
introduced the Rev. Hopkins of Charles
ton , W. Va. , who was chaplain of
Stonewall Jackson's staff , and who in-
i
voked the blessing of God on the coun
try and especially commended to Di
vine Providence the welfare of the
southern states. Amid rousing cheers
Jubal Early was introduced as the oia-
tor of the dny and the grizzled veteran ,
who , as General Hampton said , is
probably the best informed survivor in
the country on the southern civil war
history , eloquently dilated on the life ,
character and military achievements
of the renowned warrior. The pro
nouncing of the benediction brought
this portion of the exercises to a con
clusion and the participants at once
began to form in a line for the parade.
Of this ex-Governor James A. Walker. ,
the only surviving commander of
Jackson brigade , was chief marshal.
Promptly at noon the firing of
a cannon gave the signal for the
line to move. General Walker and his
aides led the way. Then came the sur
vivors of Stonewail Jackson brigade ;
some on foot and others on horseback ,
and men. old and enfeebled , crippled ,
in carriages. Behind a band that
tooted the strains of Dixie came the
survivors of Staunton , Poagues's and
Carpenter's brigades. 2,000 of them ,
Colonel W. T. Poaguo in command ;
then the surviving officers , Colonels
Cummings , Grigsby , Edmonson and
Williams. After these came carriages
with the honorary guests.
Twenty bands furnished music and
the familiar strains of Dixie alternated
with America , the Bonnie Blue Flag
and other popular airs. The return
was so arranged as to include the
grounds of the Virginia military insti
tute.
It is now fifteen years since the
movement for the erection of the mon
ument was originated. Its total cost
was $25.000 , all of which was contri
buted by ex-confederate veterans and
southerners who i-evm-e the mernorv of
Stonewall Jackson. Considerable aid
was rendered by the ladies of the south
and it is largely due to their efforts
that the movement culminated in the
success of todav.
The Itiix.iii < > * h Outlook.
Nnw YOUK , July 27. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says :
Some improvement in the business sit
uation is still noted. There is more
actual trade in most of the leading
branches and more general confidence
as to the future , but the monetary sit
uation does net grow clearer. A spec
ulation in products is springing up
which threatens to make trouble when
the crop movement becomes large. A
distribution of circulars in enormous
numbers from Minneapolis and Wash
ington , professedly by the farmers' al
liance , advising all farmers to hold
heir wheat , does not yet affect actual
receipts , but stimulates speculators to
buy largely in expectation of a boom ,
and much money has already been
locked up in carrying accumulating
stocks. With the utmost freedom in
the movement of wheat the recovery
from Europe of the 70,000,000 gold
shipped this year would be difficult ,
but with wheat exports checked for
some months scarcity of money would
be felt in all the markets and ail
branches of industry.
Reports of the condition of trade arc
generally more favorable than a week
ago. At Boston there is a further im
provement. Philadelphia notes im-
prevent in the demand for wool. Gro
ceries move better than usual for the
season , but collections are poor. At
Baltimore trade improves in some
lines , but at Pittsburg and Cleveland
it is light. At Cincinnati the shoe
trade is busy and the demand for
leather good , and at Detroit lumber is
firm and charcoal iron selling more
freely.
At the west crop prospects are stim
ulating everywhere. Chicago reports
wheat receipts five times those of last
year , an increase of 30 to 50 per cent
in dressed beef , hides and butter , but
some decrease in cured meats and lard
Dry goods sales are a trifle smaller at
present , with collections improved
and confidence in the future general.
At Milwaukee trade is fairly active ,
at St. Paul improving and at Minne
apolis active for lumber and better for
Hour. Wheat does not move largely
at St. Louis , though money is going
into Illinois towns to some extent' .
Trade improves at Kansas City ,
money being in demand for packers
and grain dealers.
Kansas Alliance Active.
TOPEK.A , Kan. , July 27. The Kan
sas alliance managers who are furnish
ing speakers for half a dozen southern
states have not neglected their own
field of labor and are now actively en
gaged in preparations for a big state
campaign during August. September
and October. The big striice will be
made in September , when camp meet
ings will be held in each of the seven
congressional districts.
State Printer Snow in speaking of
the meetings said : "They wiil be big
affairs and will be addressed by some
of the best known people's party men
in the country. "
Col. Polk of Georgia , president of
me national ; uuuuuu , uuu jy
Donnelly of Minnesota are already en
gaged. Secretary French of the state
alliance , who returned from a trip
throughout the state , says that the ai-
iance is in good condition and that
he farmers are making arrangements
for an active fall campaign.

DOUGLAS , Wyo. , July 23 The
Deere creek coal company's mines at
Glen Rock , twenty-five miles west , are
on fire. They are believed to have
caught in the stables under ground ,
though possibly the work of an incen
diary. Smoke was discovered pouring
from the mouth of the slope early this
morning. Every effort was made to
reach the flames but it was impossible
and the fire is burning more fiercely
every hour. The mine is being flooded.
The damage is certain to be several
thousand dollars and the mines are
likely to be shut down for several

NKW YOKK , July 25. Yesterday a
reporter interviewed W. C. Crum , general -
oral manager of the New York bureau
of the National Farmer's Alliance and
Reform Press association , touching the
so-called " "
- "wheattrustcombine"among
farmers. Ho denied that any such
combination had been formed.
"Tne suggestion was made , " he said ,
"some time ago in the farmers1 alli
ance that farmers would do well to
hold their wheat for remunerative
prices , in preference to allowing it to
fall into tne hands of unscrupulous
speculators. Upon this advice word
Avas sent out through the bureau of
the Reform Press association two weeks
nso advising farmers to hold their
wheat. Several sub-allinnces in Illin
ois met and passed resolutions to this
effect , which were published in the
Milwaukee alliance papers , there be
ing no effort to conceal the fact what
ever. The effort to make it appear as
if "some traitor in the camp" had re
vealed the matter before the farmers1
alliance was ready to let the secret out
is in keeping with many similar at
tempts to invest certain ammuous leau-
ers with an air of importance far be
yond their ability and worth. "
Mr. Crum said further said that the
idea of issuing simultaneously at Wash
ing and St. Paul 1.000,000 circulars to
suiui to 40,000 secretaries is port of a
well concocted plan among certain
alliance officials to enhance their im
portance in the estimation of farmers
and create at the time consternation
among wheat speculators for political
effect.
Editor Crum. who is a practical far
mer himself and thoroughly posted in
tiie schemes as narrated , says iie does
not believe that intelligent farmers
will be caught witu such chaff' . As to
combinations among farmers Mr. Crum
said : "I would bu very glad if the far
mer's could by combination secure
good prices , especially for wheat. De
preciation of values , repeated crop
failure ? , high rates of interest , etc. .
have discouraged farmers for several
years. They deserve well of their
compatriots and no one familiar with
their privations will begrudge them
all they ask. The report coming from
St. Paul stating -that Ignatius Don
nelly was opposed to the wheat trust
among farmers , ' betrays the uema-
goguery of the whole plot , for while
championing the cause of the farmers
he is well known as a Knights of La
bor leader in the west. He is iooicing
for a presidential nomination in 1892.
He hesitates to urge a wheat combine
which would effect the price of the
bread of those whose suffrages he must
have. While I favor any plan that
will contribute honestly to the far
mer's welfare , I have doubts of the ef
ficiency of the policy of farmers hold
ing too long upon their wheat. It
taices money to move as well as to buy
wheat , and if held too long and the
world's crop turns out larger than was
anticipated , a crash is imminent , more
disastrous in its consequences than
ureamea of in the philosophy of the
most pronounced alliance doctrine. "
Internal Kcvemie Figures.
WASHINGTON. July 25. Acting
Commissioner Wilson has made a pre
liminary report to the secretary of the

Harrlnoii AVI 11 lie tint raiullilntc.
LONDON , July 27. An interview
with fhauncey M. Depew was pub
lished in a London paper on Sunday
morning. Mr. Dopew deprecated the
suggestion that he was likely to bo the
man to champion the republican cause
in the next presidential election in the
United States. He said he believed
that Mr. Harrison would carry the elec
tion as the republican candidate.
"Mr. Blaino. " he continued , "is the
strongest man politically and the most
popular : but still , in my belief , Mr.
Harrison will be renominated. That
is my decided opinion , no matter what
candidates other than Mr. Harrison
may be spoken about. "
When asked who the democrats were
likely to nominate , Mr. Dopow , pre
mising that ho spoke a year in advance
of the nomination , said he believed
that Mr. Cleveland was the most likely
candidate , but that the democrats
would not be as unanimous for Mr.
Cleveland as the republicans would be
for their candidate.
Bad times. Mr. Depew said , would
disappear under the assured prosperity
of the farmers. The McKiuley tariff
will do a very great deal to carry the-
election for the republicans. Especially
will the reciprocity clause do a great
deal. Harrison would win on the tariff
and silver questions. Certainly the
republicans erred in passing the McKinley -
Kinley bill just before the election.
The worst effects of the bill were felt

"Then I am to understand that the
republicans will stand strongly by the
tariff question:1"
"Certainly. You will ask me what
programme the democrats are to op
pose. On this point they. 1 imagine ,
will advocate a modified form of free
trade , a tariff for revenue , not protec
tion , a sufficient tariff to keep the gov
ernment going without any regard for
safeguarding American industries.
Now , let me pass to what will be the
second plank in the fight for the pres
idency. I mean the silver question ,
or bimetalism , as you would call it in
England. Upon the silver question
the republicans are practically unan
imous , while the democrats are divided
among themselves. "
-What will be the republican pro
posals ? "
Shortly that we shall coin only the
silver produced iu America. By this
means we should keep our silver on a
gold basis , which is the standard basis
of the world. The democrats will pro
pose te coin all silver , not only what
is produced in America , but also that
comes into the country. They would
make silver equal to gold , which we
republicans say would ultimately cause
confusion and bankruptcy. The dem-
crats say it would mean an improve
ment in the state of trade and in the
condition of the people since there
would be a freer circulation of cur
rency. "

In the face of such a tariff will you

us in 1776 and 1812 go on your knees
to those aliens for terms ? I"don't be

he said , if it was true to itself , would
supply the food of Great Britain in
stead of the United States. The effect
of this will send ex-Congressman Mc-
