ENGLAND'S ' GREAT SAMPSON ,
Gladstone Has Hia Hftjda on the Pillars
and Will Not Yield.

The Irish Qncstlon Complicated.
LONDON , April 4. [ Special Cablegram. ]
England nnd Scotch opposition to homo rule
1ms been growing 111070 and more pronounced
nil the week. When Gladstone announces
next Thursday Dm provisions of | , ] 3 | , ] | i (0
nniciid the futureKovornmcnt of Ireland , he
will have lo deal with three or four sets of
opponents tlioso opposed to homo rule In
any form ; these opposed to a separata parlia
ment ; those opposed lo homo rule with land
purchase , nnd those opposed to homo rule
without land purchase. It Is now expected
that all these heterogeneous forces will bo
marshalled under the joint leadership
of Lords Hnillngton nnd Chnni-
bcrlnin. ( ire.it efforts are making
to Induce Hnrtliujton to abstain
from active opposition. The lories , on the
other hand , profess themselves ready lo fol
low the liberal leaders. Lord Salisbury re
turns to London .to-morrow , and the tory
plan of the campaign will then bo settled.
Reports agree that ho favors close cooperation
tion with anti-homo rule liberals. The Stan
dard publishes a stronc appeal for united ac
tion and strongly deprecates any attempt of
the torles to assume the responsibility for the
conduct of the debate. Chamberlnln will
follow Gladstone nnd then Tiovelyan.
Applications for admission from strangers
surpass nil precedents , the C30 mom-
bers of the house disputing for
120 places , nnd ninny asking for a
tlozcn seats for friends. The spenkcr , In
consequence abandons his own gallery to
chance ballot and seven embassies and the
American legation are deprived of their usual
scats , two each.
Some of the strongest English homo rulers
outside tlio minority urge Gladstone to con
fer no powers on an Irish parliament beyond
these belonging to American state legisla
tures , nnd warn him that the country will
stand no more. They profess to believe Pnr-
ncll will accept Hint when convinced that n
larger mcnsuto Is Impossible. Multiplying
signs of dislike for homo rule throughout
.England nnd Scotland hnvo nlnrmcd more
thatr ono of Gladstone's colleagues.
Reports nro cut rent of dissensions
In the cabinet. Lord Spencer is
said to bo dissatisfied because
land purchase Is postponed n week nfter
homo rule , but It now appears that Gladstone
means both measures shall ultimately pro
ceed together. Ho prefers , however , to stander
or fall on the proposal for a separate Irish
parliament , and the homo rule bill , therefore ,
is fust Introduced. Two other ministers are
endeavoring to narrow the scope of the meas
ure , which , It Is now believed , gives the Irish
parliament control over customs , taxes and
police In short
BETTING UP AX IIUSII CAXADA
within thirty miles of the English coast.
ii This belief , it Is. which has stirred loyal lib
iiIi Iit erals in Scotland to protest. Nothing has
IiL more startled the ministers than the declara
L tion of the Scotsman that such a planer any
o thing llko It , would be and ought to bo re
t jected by parliament. The Scotsman is ono
V of Gladstone's ablest and most 'dovotc/1 sup
n porters in tlio entire kingdom. Its editor Is
b
tl a personal friend of Lord lloseberry.
' The Scotch members of the house express
'Similar opinions. Any considerable defec
tion among the Scotch members would bo
fnlnl. Gladstone , therefore , says his col
leagues stand between a Scotch scylla and
an Irish.chnrybdls. Unless ha modifies his
project a number of Scotch members will
abandon him. If he modifies it , I'arnell's
American mnsters will not nllow him to nc-
o cept It. So rapid hns been the growth of
Iit hostility that rumors abounded on Thursday

8t I Gladstone totally refusing substantial con
t cessions. It is remarked by his colleagues
V that "the old man has got his back against
n tlio wall , and will bring everything down
ii with him sooner than yield. " They say ho
iiv will not concede lo lesser men what ho refused
iir
fused Chnmborlaln nud Trevelyan. Chnm-
r .bcrlnin's friends say thnt ho is working hard
rH nnd silently to overthrow the government ,
rtt which he has quitted. Ho or some other in
tt fluence hns paralyzed thu movements of
liberal associations which wcro relied on to
support the ministry.
AOAINfiT A HIU'AHATi : PAIIIJAMKNT.
A great and enthusiastic meeting of bank
ers nnd morchnnts of the city of London ,
lord mayor presiding , nnd lending liberals
nnd personal friends of Glndstono being
protiour , resolved In energetic terms against
uop.irnto parliament In Dublin.
TIIK NKWCAIIINI'.T MBMIIKIIS.
Chninberlnln's successor , Stunlleld , nn
amiable relic of nn ancient aduilnlslni-
, tion , brings not nn atom of strength to the
ministry. Lord DalhoiiHlo , the new secretary
for Scotland , Is respected , popular , nnd capa
ble , but | tIs already reported that he Is hes
itating how fnr to follow Hie chief whom ho
idolb.es. Irish members themselves take n
grave view of tlio situation. They meet
. Scotch opposition with n threat to defeat
every Scotch bill for the next twenty years.
TIIK KABTIMIN WAH HUMOUS.
The eastern crisis hns created genuine
nlanii throughout western Europe. Berlin
advices early In the week pointed to war , all
efforts to make the Greeks hear reason having
ingfailed. . Confidence has since been regained -
gained , Lord Roscberry carrying his point.
Greeeo now knows that war against Turkey
means defiance to united Europe. Russia , If
she docs not take part in active measures ,
should such become necessary , will not op
pose them.
A rtrenk In the Cuhluot Imminent.
LONDON , April 4. The breaking of the
cabinet Is Imminent. Lord Kimberly , Sir
William Ilarcourt , Chllders and Mundolln
refuse to assent to nny homo rule measure
giving Ireland the control of customs , and
threaten to resign if such n measure bo In-
bisted upon by Gladstone. Jlorley demands
a 'mollification of the plans for tl.o buying
out of landlords. Gladstone , however , re
mains Inflexible , and will maintain his full
si'homo Intact. Cabinet councils nro to beheld
held on Monday nnd Tuesday , and thu climax
will bu reached on Tuesday , The ministers
themselves mlmlt that an agreement seems
Improbable. Gladstone may make his state-
mem on Thursday without the approval of
the ministry. _
Gladstone llumiperntiiif ; .
LONDON- , April . -Gladstone's volco is
ngnln causing him some anxiety ami he has
gone to the country to spend two or three

"lumpy" to pul to a thorough test the slam-
Inn of the men engaged In the contest.
Netting was In favor of thn Cambridge

race an event for a holiday. A lanro crowd

had several conferences during the past few
days with Baron Schloescer , Prussian rep
resentative nt the Vatican , nnd Von dossier ,
nt which subjects at Issue between Prussia
and the Vatican 'were discussed at lenitth.
So far , however , no promise has been given
of the establishment of a modus vivnndl
with the curia. The National Xeltuncs de
clares that the curia Is playing n double pmt.
It snys thnt Dr. Kopp , bishop of Knltln ,
wns cimrccil to secure certain concessions
from the Prussian government , and that after
tlioso had been granted the Vatican refused
to acknowledge Dr. Kopp's authority ,
while Canon Iteuch. of Troves , was charged
with the presentation of further demands ,
which it Is Impossible for Prussia to concede.
It Is reported tlmt Prlnco B'smnrck ' has de
cided to withdraw the concessions that have
been mailo already unless the curia accepts
the provision that the government shall have
the veto power over all appointments made
by tlio Vatican. Dr. Kopp mil sent an ulti
matum to Prlnco Bismarck to tlm effect that
the church cannot consider the May laws as
really amended If the government Insists
upon the veto proviso.
Germans Ucny the Charge.
BKIU.IN , April 4. The North German

A Ijong nnd Useless Session.
DKS MOIXF.S , April 4. [ Special. ] Tlio
hardest and most tedious work of the wliolo
session has been the final contest for the
soldiers' home. For weeks delegations for
aspiring localities have hung about the cnpl-
tolblockadingthocorrldors , lumbering up lho
lobbies with their exhibits and making
themselves a sort of general nulsnnco. The
rotunda hns looked llko n section from a
world's fair. A number ot the towns that
were most actively cnanged In the contest
htivo brought In exhibits of their wnrcs , their
building material , their mineral products ,
nnd views of Ihelr public nnd private build
ings. Each town has had Its little space Tiled
high with bricks , marble , stone , and In one
Instance , canned goods , while picture ? , mot
toes nnd Inscriptions greet the visitors at
every hand. At the end of 0110 corridor Col
fax mineral water tmibccn placed on draught
free lo all as an advertisement of that town.
Indlanoln , not to bo outdone , sent up a bar
rel ot buttermilk which was also freely dis
pensed to n tit rsty crowd. Mnrshalltown
began to think that something must ho done ,
and so .sent to the clonk room of thu senate a
liberal nssoitmcnt of bottles labelled mineral
water , though this wns the first Intimation
that mineral springs were found nt thnt on-
tcrprfolii ! : point. So the light hits been
wnged for s-overnl weeks , nnd all day yester
day and Friday the b.ittle of the ballots wns
kept up. Starting In with twenty-two towns
neatly 11 ty were voted for without receiving
a choice.
The legislature met In the house chamber ,
nnd ns their names were c.illed lho members
walked up and deposited their ballots In n
hat. The president announced the result ,
ns usual ' 'no choice , " nud the monotonous
proceedings were repeated. While compli
mentary notes were distributed all around
the state giving nenrlv every town a boom
once or twice , it wns soon apparent that the
steady fighting wns to bo between Burling
ton , Marshalltown and Colfax. Kacb place
held nbout so much strength that stayed
whatever others did. In this varying way
the balloting wns kept up till (5 ( o'clock last
night anil then was resumed at 7:45 : p. m.

WILL nuow.v HE IMPEACHED ?
The great question which the legislature is
trying to solve Is what shall bo done with
the Brown matter' ' The republicans realize
that the situation Is ono of great resnonsi-
billty and Importance. The democrats are
holding back waiting for the republicans to
lend off , so they can see which cotirso will
bo most to their political advantage. They
are for or against Impeachment as It will
ptovo best for the democratic party. The
showing made by the Investigating commit
tee is HO strong in its proof of
Brown's guilt thai Impeachment seems
the only thing adequate to the case , but to
impeach would tnku a vote of two-thirds of
tliu senate , which menus all the republicans
and some of the democrats. Can such a vote
bo secured is what everyone would Mice to
know. It will nlso necessitate a special hes-
sion of the legislature at an expense of near
ly 81,000 a dny , which will bo very expensive
before the work Is completed , so that It is not
strange tlmt the lending members of the
legislature are disposed to take time to con
sider what is best to oo done.
JMJNSION AOKNT UIPIl's Sl'OCKSSOR.
There is n good deal of speculation as to
who will succeed Hon. Jacob llicli as United
Statis pension agent for Iowa and Nebraska.
Although ono ot lho strongest and most
active republican managers of the republican
party In Iowa , ho hns performed his olllclal
duties with Mich fidelity anil unusual ability
that thu president hns not dmed to remove
him or nsk him for his resignation. Ho re
signs now solely on account of 111
health , having suffered from failing eye
sight for nenrly a year and just
at present is prostrated with sickness from
too strict confinement to his olllce. The man
who seems most likely to succeed him Is
Colonul N. A. Merrill of Clinton. Ho 1ms a
gallant war record , Is a banker ot fine
Imsine.ss qunlllicnlions nnd Is thoroughly
respected nnd honored for his personal In
tegrity nnd private worth. Ills nomination
would bo more satisfactory to thu people of
the stall ) than any other democrat who could
be mimed.
1'I.Owr.ItS WILL 11LOOM KIIIST.
Yesterday was the day first fixed by the
legislature for adjournment , but the end now
is not so near. A sub-corn mittee of the
Hayes Investigating committee is out taking
testimony , nnd it will bo some time betotu a
report Is ninde. There is considerable ton-
era ! legislation to be closed up yet , saying
nothini : about the Brown matter , so thnt it is
quite likely thnt the memtn'rs of the twenty-
lirst general assembly will htlll bo on hand
when the flowers bloom in the spring.

At the opening of the district

had been nppoinlcd'to draw up resolu
tions on tlio death of Colonel Smjtho re
ported the following !
Whorans , The . . .fDestroyer , Death hns
suddenly romovou from our midst K. F.
Sniytho I'.sq. , whcfor.snveral years hns en
joyed a prominence nniontc tno legnl fra

He-solved , First'thnt wo deeply regret ho
should hnvo been so suddenly smitten down
While yet In love with nnd cheered by the
plenslne prospect of soon being ushered Into
the golden sun light of manhood's happy
noon.
Second , That In his demlso our bar has
lost ono ot Its active members and our city
and state n widely known and esteemed citi
zen Third. Thnt among the many worthv
trnts which ennobled Ids chnrnctei we slinfl
long remember with peculiar pride his courtly
hearing , Ids polished manners , his genial
nature over overflowing with irood humor ,
his respectful treatment of the com I und his
uniform willingness to oollgo his brethern nt
the bar.
Fourth. That wo heartily sympathize with
his sorrowing wife and child in their hour of
sad bereavement , conscious that In his death
they lost a devoted husband and tin indiil
gent father.
Filth , That wo request that these resolu
tions bo spread at laruo upon the records of
this eiuiit und that a copy of the same ba
sent to the family of the deceased.
In advocating the passage of the
resolutions , N. J. Ihinilmm said that
Col. Sm.ytho had been n member
of the bar 1J ! years. In Septem
ber , 18 ? ; ! , arrived in Omaha. His
career as a lawyer was well known , nnd
no rehearsal of his many virtues was
necessary. "Since thnt ilate , " continued
Mr. I'nrnhnm , "fourteen members of this
bar have passed to another world. Among :
them were Judge Townsend , who was
the eoiintv .judge ; following closely nftor-
wnrils wns the brilliant Buckingham , our
district attorney Silas A. Strickland , not
only known as an eloquent lawyer , but as
a distinguished politician ; then ii
stranger , Air. Darrow , followed by Mr.
Meredith , Senator- Hitchcock and \V. B.
Smith , whoso lamentable deulh occurred
in the hulls of the United States court
house ; then following him , A. L. Hobin-
son , who died in Wyoming. Judge Clin
ton Briggs came next ; and then Wil
liam MeClollnn , Jnilgo Clnulwick
and Mr. Quiiin. The last was
Col. Sniytho. On all those occasions
although 1 feel deeply the inroads of
death I did not feel competent to pro
nounce any eulogy. I will say nothing
about Colonel binytho that is over
wrought or fulsome flattery. 1 knew his
good qualities as well as any member
of this bar. I believe these resolutions
can bo fully and heartily adopted. Wo
all remember his courtesy , kindliness ,
and the genial treatment accorded by
him. Whatever ho said could bo strictly
relied upon. He never went back upon
his promise to opposing counsel. This is
a virtue wortliy ofj being followed by
these who remain behind him. "
Mr. Hurnhnin thoQ went on to spenk of
the wonderful cbanycs in the state , and
said Unit since 187 ! ) the members of the
bar hail qunilnmlcd'in number , there be
ing at present l-lfi nrnncs on the rolls. Ho
said that ho might continue and speak of
the great natural , powers of Colonel
Sniytho , his eloquencennd untiring en
ergy and versatility , but ho
would leave thatt to other speak
ers. Ho was' a 'man of remarkable
ability and rdmarkublo heart. "My
wish , " concluded Mr. Burnhum , "is that
when I die tlio members of this bar can
hphestly and trtilysuyns much good of
mo nM 1 can-1'truthfully ' say o $ ? Mrir
Sniylho. " G. VK Ambrose seconded the
adoption of theurcsblution. He spoke of
tlio past history of the bar and comment
ed upon the fact that most of the old
members with whom ho had been
acquainted wore alive. Colonel Smytlio's
death brought up a train of circum
stances. "No more genial kindly gen
tleman , " said lie , "than Colonel ijmytho
has ever entered the court room There
was no man whoso word could bo more
fully relied upon. Ho wns not perhaps
a great book lawyer , but ho bad that in
tuitive sense whicfi is essential to success.
Ho had a place in all our hearts and all
our minds. I cannot believe ho is dead.
After all , what is lifo but a series of pre
ludes to thnt unknown song whoso initial
solemn note is tollud by deathy The en
chanted dawn of song life is love , but
lylicro is the destiny on whose. lir.st de
licious joys some storm breaks not
some storm whoso deadly blasts disperses
youth's illusions , whose fatal bolt con
sumes its altar'
After a while a busy brain
Will rest from all its care and pain.
Aftcra while earth's rush will cense ,
And n wearied heart find sweet release.
After a whllo n vanished face ,
An empty seat , n vacant place.
After n while a nnuio forgot ,
A crumbling headstone unknown spot.
C , A. Baldwin paid a touching tribute
to tlio memory ot the deceased lawyer in
his usual eloquent , manner. Ho siil : ! that
ho had known Colonel Sniytho well , hav
ing for u long time been associated with
him in business. Ho had noble qualities.
In his manhood anil physical abilities ho
was superior to the whole bar. In bis
demeanor hi ) was at all times n gentle
man. Ha said thnt ho had never heard
him speak a disrespectful or unkind word
of anv man.
J. T , Morinrity spoke feelingly of his
short acquaintance with Colonel Sniytho
nml of the many acts of kindness re
ceived at his hands. Mr. MoriurMv spoke
in low , measured tones and was listened
to with great attention. District Attor
ney Kstello saiil timt Colonel Smytlio's
character could bo best summed up in
the words of his wife who pathetically
cried after his death , 'Oh ' , if ho had over
spoken nn unkind word to mo I could bear
it butter. ' Is not that tlm testimony of every
member of tliis bar ? Kemiirks were also
inudo by Colonel Chase anil Mr. Bloom ,
and after a-fow opjinp1 remarks by Judge
Wukoluy tlio 'court adjourned till 2

It was close on to midnight when

opera house anil called lo order the
special social session of the Omaha
Lodge of Klks. The occasion was a re
ception Riven in honor of the "Bcston

Tlio hitter possesses n deep rich bass

Among those of the Boston Ideal
troupe who thereafter took part in the
programme were 11. 0. Bnrnabee , the
venerable but over youthful and frisky
comedian of the company , Air. Tom
Knrl , Mr. W. 11. Clark , Mr. W. L. Me-
Donald nnd Mr. 11. At. Alorsdoll. Each
number was a gem , nnd culled forth
nUuming applause from the nttilionco.
Kncoro .iftor encore greeted the succes
sive efforts of tlio vocalists , ami still the
crowd cried not "Knoiiglil" Tlio rendi
tion of "Kathleen Mtivournccn" by Air.
Karl , us an cncoro after "Dream
of Youth , " was listened to
with bated breath. It wns si revelation
to all who were fortunate enough to hear
it. Every shape of moaning and feeling
in _ the grand old song wns brought out ,
with an exquisite finesseof intonation.
At the close every man in the nuilionco
rose to his feel , and the upnlanso which
followed showed how the singer hail
reached the innermost recesses of feeling
in tlioso who hoard him. The quartette
club of the Ideals rendered a few selec

heartily received.
With addresses and recitations by lion.
11. 11. Barrows , Judge Hall , Martin

Ami so the evening passed. At length
the time for parting came , and grasping
hands the Llks formed the circle and
sang "Anld Lang Syne. " The lights
went out with the exit of the Klks , their

MRS. THOMAS A. HEXPiUCKS.
She Thinks Omaha a Model and
Orou'inc City.
Airs. Hcmlricks , widow of the Into la
mented vice president , Thomas A. Hen-
dricks has been spending si few days in
Omnhn on n. visit to her brotlier-in-lnw ,
Captain Samuel Herman , formerly con
nected with the Union I'acilic railroad in
this city. Airs , llcndricks and Airs. Hoi-
man loft last night for San Francisco ,
and will stop nt Salt Lake on the way.
In conversation with a UKK reporter ,
Airs , llcndricks eulogized Omaha highly.
saying , among other things , thnt it had
some of the most sociable and cultivated
people she over had the pleasure to meet.
She was also surprised to see the growth
ot the city , not only in the way of popu
lation but large , fine buildings. Airs
Hemlricks has been in the city before ,
but states she was never so highly pleased
as this timo.
Mrs llomiricks is of rather stout build ,
medium height , pleasant face , and on
being introduced to a person is not con
ventional but gives a hearty hand-shako ,
ns though she roaly was pleased to moot
you. She is exceedingly pleasant spoken
and nil excellent conversationalist.
In fnot , the lady is just such an ono as a
person could easily picture us the lifo-
iontr and loriiii ; help-moot of such a
"mini old hero as the late Thomas A.
Hemlricks.
AMUHKWCNTS.
The Iloston IdcnlH Conclude a MoHt
SiiccoHHful Kima-joinon ! .
The Boston Ideals have come and gone.
In looking over their engagement ono is
forced to tlio conclusion that their
performances have boon the most satis
factory of tinv over given in Omaha this
season. Their operas worn bright , spark
ling and piuasing and uloiio wcro siilli-
cient to entirely captivate tlio atidionco.
Saturday afternoon , "Tho Aluskoteers , "
ono of tlio lines ! of light operas was produced
and in lho "Adina"
duced , evening was
given to the ilolcctation of a
largo crowd. Their engagement in
Omaha has been thoroughly enjoyed.
Tlio Boston Ideals have never displayed
their perfections to greater udvuntugu
than during their prewont engagement.
Do Liissan's voice and naive acting are
simply tiiipcrb. while Himtinglon and
Stone sustained their well deserved repu
tation. The male voices in tlio company
are too well known to need any comment.
Sullico it to say that on the whol" the
company has greatly improved since its
reorganization. They probably drew the
most appreciative audience which over
assembled in the Boyd. The auditors
worn critical and at the sumo time
enthusiastic , tints adding greatly to the
success of the performances.
Will The Women Vote On Tuesday ?
To TUB KUITOII : Apropos to an ur
gent editorial in the BKF. of tlio 2th ! ) , ad
vocating lho importance of electing
proper school directors next Tuesday , it
scorns fitting tq cull the attention of thn
mothers of our children to their duty in
this matter , Women paying tnxea on
real estate or personal property or hav
ing children of uuhool ngo are ontitlud to
voU ) for school directors. Alany women
do not fully understand the law and
therefore many lose their siiflrngo from
carelfiESniiSs. The taxes paid may be
simply u trifle on a sowing machine or
cooking stove. , but they entitle the owner
to a vote , Kvory woman in our city in
tlio Ipast interested in our public schools
should manifest it by her presence at tlio
poljs. The Woman'a ' Christian Temper-
unco Union .should lend in this reform ,
especially as they hav a momentous ex
periment to sustain the teaching of tlm
evil inlluoncu of liquor and tobacco in
the schools. This law to bo a success
must , have the support of temperance
people , and temperance voters must elect
men' pledged to its strict enforcement.
When' candidates ruali/.o that the
mothers will use their power of suffrage
for tumijejnne.ii tjiuro Will bo tempunuiw
Woman suffragists should
turn out in full force , for school suffrage )
is the entering wedge making possible
full suffrage in the near future , Omnha
should certainly not bo so far behind the
smaller cities of the stata in this matter ,
Wo know on reliable authority tlmt the
election of school boards throughout
Nebraska , brings fortli largo numbers of
ladies ns voters , and in many of the
towns Imlics.nro on tlio school board.
Surely thn welfare of our public schools
demands tlio best talent which our city
aflbrds , anil every elector should do the

A Patient in the County Hospital
( lumps Into the Well.
Frank AInxwell ( or Maxell ) some few
days ago applied and was admitted to
tlio county hospital , suffering from
fever. This morning nt about
12:30 : ho escaped , it is sup
posed during n lit of temporary insanity
brought on by sickness , and the nolico
were notified. Two hours later ho was
discovered in the well , which is very
deep , but has only three feet of water.
lie was iu sort of a sitting position ,
his head anil shoulders being entirely
out of water , nnd dead. The coroner
was notified , but tt being so near day
light , ho decided that it wns best to await
that time before removing the body.
Nothing is known of the man other than
the fact that ho was in destitute circum
stances and so ill that ho could not toll
lits name in an intelligible manner.
Hhnrp Trickery.
In Morrison's gambling saloon , n night
or two ago , a follow named Warner , who
has been loafing around the room for two
or three nights , came in late in the even
ing and commenced betting .f 10 a time ,
the limit , atone of the roulette wheels ,
anil made several bets , always on the red ,
winning nt every play. The man at th o
wheel thought it curious that ho could
win on tlio same color successively , and
wanted him to go to another table and
play. Warner , nowovor , did not take
the hint , although stopping piny for a
short timo. Alonnwhili ; , onu of the pro
prietors of the house hud been called to
the wheel and spoken to about tlio
matter , but wont awny again.
Warner soon came back und
won $200 at .f 10 bets. In playing ho
would not take chips , but every time lie
won he demanded tlio money , making a
cash play throughout. About the time
ho had won this money , the attention of
the same partner was again called to the
wheel , whereupon Warner and two or
three of his comrades immediately
skipped and went over to Council Hind's.
An examination of the wheel showed
that the black cavities had boon filled
witli black leather in some manner , mak
ing tlio ball fall into the rod places every
time , and was a "sure thing" for that
color to win.
This is the second time in tlio history of
Omnha gambling that "snaking" of the
roulctto wheel has boon successfully ac
complished. The first occurred 'some
years ago in the gambling house of tlio
late Dan Allen , when Tom Green and
"Long Tom , " who had been "busied"
for some time , broke into Allen's room
between daylight 'and 0 a. in. and
doctored the wheel , and the next evening
made a play , winning sohio .f 100 before
their trickery was discovered.

managed to creep up to the put price and
close there unsteadily. Immediately nftcr
the close the price of May dropped to
80Xc , nnd Inter on tlio curb was
freely offered at 80 , c , with low buyers
nt that tiRiitv. Advices nro general thnt
snow Is failing quite heavily over the winter
wheat belt. The best estimates on the next
statement of the visible supply makes It less

even under this stimulus the market couldn't

numerous than ever , and some bets wore

to-day the receipts at Minneapolis nnd Duluth -

Corn wns weaker a shade , and closed
heavy at uSj c for Alay. The clique which
some weeks ace were thought to bo wanting

every time It shows nny firmness. Dews ,

There Is still some May short at 40c , which
tlio sellers claim to believe they will bo able
to buy nt ! l > c , if the vlslblu supply doesn't
begin to fall off very rapidly. Estimated re
ceipts for Monday , 225 ears , which Is an In
crease over the late average and proves that
there Is still some corn left in the back dis
tricts.
Tlio whisper went around the provision
pit about 11 o'clock this morning that Ar
mour was buying , and the llght-walsted
shorts ran to cover so fast they put pork up
20c in about twice ns many minutes. Ribs
also advanced strongly , nnd lard improved n
little. The close was nt n sharp reaction ,
but nevertheless firm , nnd the general senti

nppears to incline in better quotations. Es

for next week about ICO.ooo. Receipts this
