Tbo third objection referred to is the issue-
Ing f passes to enginemen and their famil
ies. In the past , passes have been Issued to
employes when it suited the convenience of
their employers , nnd wo only ask that our
fellow' workmen bo granted transportation
when out ofemployment. . This is nothing
more than right , and would cost the company
nothing ; Other companies grant their em

But the most Important change we ask Is
to bo p\ld.for : tho. number of miles vie run ,
and not for two'-thlrds of the amount. This
system of paving has boon adopted on ninety
per cent of the roads in the United States.
Wo have tried in every possible way to ad
just these differences , but the 'general man
ager declined to make any concessions , and
positively refused to adjust our grievances. '
Thcso matters will not be thoroughly un
derstood by the public in general , an they are
not familiar with the manner that railroad

IS SMITH ANEMBEZZLEIt ?
Allegations Against the Ex-PresUleut
of the Republican.
There seems to be still more trouble in the
Rcpublicun stock company. Yesterday it
was rumored that Mr. C. H. Smith , recently
acting president of tbe Republicun-had em
bezzled $30,000 belonging to the company.
Last evening a representative from the BEK
met Mr. Kotlmckcr at his room in the Barker
and asked him if the report was true. .
"Yes , " saW.Mr. Rothacker , "he took from
tbes afe of the cpmpany $ .10,000 In securities
115,000 in notes , and $15,000 in stock of E. F.
Test. Ho took this amount after ho had
severed hiij connection with the company nnd
no light to go 'near the safe. This afternoon
there was a mcctlnirof the attorneys of the
different parties interested at the Republican1
office. Tiic persons present were Attorneys
Scott , HalL Bartlctt , Slmeral , Smith. Mr. S.
P. Rounds ? Jr' , , nnd misolf. Mr. Bartlett ,
tbe aUonity-.for the Hounds estate , said it
was a clearcase and urged an indictment
against SmitnV
CartUfy and the Tariff Bill.
WICHITA , K n.r March 3. Speaker Car
lisle , who is in the city attending the bedside
of his sick son , said to-day : "The Mills
tariff bill is a very conservative measure and
ugbt to be passed. The existing financial
and industrial situation would uava jus
tified a much more radical measure , but
there are always so many differences of
opinion about details that it is Impossible to
do exactly what ought to b done. The bill
has been prepared with great care , and I
know it has bocn the purpose of the framers
40. deal fairly and liberally with any interest
affected by it. Tkere has been no feeling of
1iostillty to capital or labor employed in the
manufacturing industries , and the bill , if
passed , will not hurt them. I think the bill
. will pass substantially as reported. If it bo
defeated , the democratic party will appeal to
tbo people on tills question at tbe next
election , and a congress will 'bocbostiu that
will reduce the rovimuo much more than
now proposed. . <

The Spring Gunning.
In a few more days the ducks will bo here
in great abundance , and the nlmrods will bo
m.their glory and hunting clothes. From all
the signs it is tolerably safp to predict an un
usually good flight of ducks this spring. The
universal complaint but fall was tbo pro
longed drouth. The feed'was scarce and--all
Intermittent ntreusmsloughs nnd small lakes
were dried up , which'practically killed the
sport in this vicinity at any rate. This
Apring there is a promise of an abundance of
water everywhere , In fact a superabundance
in many localities , for too much water Is Just
as cou'clusivo of poor" ducking as top llttlq ,
but M a general thing the prospects ail point
to fine sport and plenty of It. Always , when
"
there has been plenty of snow In" the moun
tains and the highlands of thb north , the
grounds in these bottoms afford excellent food
for wtater fowls. This is accounted for by the
fact that the spring freshets fill the rivers
and streams and wash from the higher table
land and forests of the northwest the mast
and seeds and soil and grasses , of which the
birds afe particularly fond , and deposit it
along the low valleys that cut up and Inter
sect the country as far south as Kansas.
The pintails and the mallards have already
begun to drop in in isolated , tlocks. and the
thrilling "honk ! ah-hooukl" of the wild
goose is to be hoard almost any morning ns
the wedge-shaped flock wings its weary way
to the north. A few inoro.days and they
will , bo here In their greatest numbers.
Geese , canvasbacks , redheads , mallards ,
teal , springtail , widgeon , baldpade , black
jack , butter-ball , blue bill , morgauzcr
and ' all. ' and yo gods I what glorious
sM | > rt , what Joyous exhilaration , what
pleasurable excitement ; Is the ardent sports
man's , who finds himself ensconced in a
good bljnd , with his trusty No. 10. his stool
Of decays' , somewhere up the babbling crystal
Platte.-oufcon the Elkhorn , or down Honey
creek J The first duck to visit these waters
in the spring is the slender , graceful pin-
tall. Hocomes in flocks of thousands , and
mlthougli wary and shy , nffords the bOst of
spring ( shooting. As n table morceaultho
jln-tall docs not take a high rank , though If
nfcely served is passably palatable. Next
come the canvass-back , the rod-head and the
mallard , a trio that cannot bo surpassed
front all the feathered world , for either
ibeauty , edtblencss or the rare sirort they-
afford.tho gunner. Of course for the tnblo
the canvass-back is incomparable , but be it
said In all Verity the red-head and thomallard
nro not a shade his inferior. And then , too ,
what's the matter wltn a woll-browncd teal ,
blackjack or butter-ball ! Is there an epi
cure who would turn up his nose at such a
dish ? It Is hardly possible. Ono very
strange thing is the fact that canvas backs
nro btjcoming more numerous In their spring
flight across this section of our great coun
try. Twenty-five years ago they were
hardly known here , being almost exclusively
an eastern bird and always selecting the At
lantic sea-board route to their breeding
grounds in the farther north. Now they are
seen in passage hero in as large numbers as
along the world-renowned .Chesapeake or
Carrituck , and are growing moro.fhumcrous
every year. What is the cause oPthlsl Can
it be the long aeons of bombardment to
which they have been subjected In the east
that has driven them here , or are they sim
ply following a law of nature too recondite
for human penetration. After the can
vas back and the redhead , comes the
lesser varieties , and good sport is obtainable
until far into April. Some of the best duck
ing grounds near hero are the Platte , Elk-
honi , Shell and Honey Creek , Whiting , Wat
erloo , Missouri Valley , Bartlett , Horse Shoe ,
and oven Cutoff lake on certain days affords
the ambitious shooter plenty of fun.
Snipe shooting follows wild fowl.but owing
to the vast quantity of water evorfioodlng the
marshes this spring , the prospects for good
sport In this line are limited. The ducks do
not begin to arrive , however , until the frost
is uearlyall out of the ground , making "bor-
jng" possible , and by that time the inun
dated low lauds may be clear again.
Equalization of Trap Shooting.
Captain H , A. Penroso , who has in charge
tbo great June trap shoot , has worked out anew
now system for conducting this class of sport ,
which ho thinks will become very popular.
Tha fusion rule , as it is called , has for its ob
ject the equalizing of shooters , so that ama
teurs and professionals can shoot for the
same purse with an equal chance of winning
a percentage of the purse to bo shot for. The
rule classifies the shooters and at tbo sumo
time handicaps the gun. Thus a2-gungo
gun is given two yards over a I0-guago , etc
The entrance fee to all contestants shall bo
the same , and the net amount of the purse
divided into two equal parts. The shooters'
are divided also Into two classes , according to
ability ! and each shoots in his class , having a
chance at the $50 , which is divided 50.130 and
20 per cent. ' This gives six monies lor each
shoot. ' Should more than three contestants
tie , and -shooting off the tie the number
nhouUlboreduced : to three , then at thoro-
questjof ono of the number the purse must be
divided ; . It is not known whether this rule
will bo'adopted this spring or not , but that it
will Wcoino popular there is no doubt whut-

At.tho Mouth of the Kaw.
u Base ball affairs at Kansas City still rc-
.maln in statu quo , and to say that it is cither
healthy or promising would bo to do somo-
ithiug the father of his country never did.
The differences between the Western and
the American association clubs thcro can
only bo upon the increase as the opening of
the season draws on apace. What tbe board
of arbitration will bo enabled to do is still an
enigma , but that they have a disagrpcablo
question to settle thcro is no getting round.
The American people say that the Western
club must nnd shall bo ousted , while the
Westerners only continue to give them the
lauKh. They say that the maniacal ravings
of the American contingent are moru idle
than the blowing of tno winds , and all that
they can do is to stick , and llvo or die on
their merits , or pull out now and save their
credit
TlioWestern club is A fixture , .beyond a
pcradventure. President Menses -writes to
tlio BBC : "I have no apprehensions what
ever of being ousted. Tljo board of arbitra
tion Is composed of honorable men , and they
Will assuredly tnHo the same view of this
vexed affair as other fair minded citizens.
To substantiate what I suy I will Inform you
that I do not intend to attend the meeting of
the board or send n representative. There
exists absolutely no danger from that source. "
The Old Tjougiie Reorganized.
A meeting wus held at the Pacific house ,
St. Joe , on Thursday hist , nt which tbo old
Western base { ball league wus reorganized
and arrangements made for beginning tbo
reason with \x. \ clubs. A $500 bond la to bo
executed by each club by the time the sched

season will bb finished. The basis of tbo re
organization is low salary , $ l-iOO per month
fcr each team , not including the. manager ,
being the maximum. The penalty for a violation
lation of the salary limit clause Is expulsion. '

All the Omaha players have been notified

of Lovott at an immense pecuniary advan

-The work'upan the grand stand , and the

Lovott , Omaha's star pitcher , it Is said ,
will bo wonderful effective under the three-

If the prollmlnrry games , between the
Omahas and St. Pauls nro played , ono of the
clubs will lament it before the season is one-
half on.
The peddling of drinks and cigars should
bo strictly prohibited in the ladles annex to
the grand stand.
The Omaha management will engage nil
their police and help by regular contract this
season. This Is to insure the best of atten
tion. ' '
.All good judges of the gi\mo agrco that the
loss of ono strike will bo detrimental to lively
batting , and players are equally unanimous
that the change is a bad ono. The batter is
now almost nt the mercy of the pitcher , who
will again bo the chief factor in deciding a
game. Nothing enhances a contest so much
as free , hard hitting.

Moro than half of the senators are reading
up and preparing to speak on the fisheries
treaty. It Is believed that instead of thorn
being two-thirds who will vote for the rati
fication of the treaty the numbar absolutely
necessary to make it a law that there will
be two-thirds in opposition to it Since th
rules have been amended so that the treaty
will bo considered in open session instead of
in secret , ' buhind closed doors , the opposition
to the administration will develop In very
rabid attacks. The republicans , and it It in
timated seine of the democrats , will , charge
the administration with a lack of diplomacy
and stamina to accomplish what the la v
dirccts'or authorizes. They hold that- the
object of passing during the last congress
the ictallatory measure was , to put in the
hands of the president a weapon to enforce
just such laws as the old fisheries
treaty with Canada. That retaliatory mous-
uro in thd shape of a Joint resolution author
izing and directing the president to refuse ad
mission to this country of ships and goods
from any country which will not grant to us
nil the International privileges that nro ex
tended to other countries. It is held that the
old treaty grrmts every privilege , nnd more ,
that the now ono does' , without any of the
obnoxious demands the new measure con
tains , and that if t ho retaliatory law was en
forced Canada would bo compelled to open
her ports for our bait buyers and .fishermen
who visit the British possession for any pur
pose whatever. A very lively time is ex
pected when the debate on the treaty begins.
