Mr. Platte Bald ho' could not object to the bill being road h second tlino and referred to the committee. Mr. Blair said ho had introduced the bill In cntiro good faith. Ho understood that in North Carolina plono there were to-day 20,000 ex-sold icrs of the confederacy who hnd lost limbs in the eonvico , and that a very largo number of them were in poor circumstances. It seemed to him that , if the government under this tulmlnlstr.aUon or" under any other adminis tration gave appointments to men who had been disloyal the preference should bo given to those who had served In the confederate , nrmy and.wero , now disabled , other things ( ' 'tiding ' equal.

' Referred. 1 In 'tho morning hour the house resumed the consideration of the resolution assigning ( four days for the transaction of business reported ported by the bureau of labor. The oppo nents of the resolution , led by Mr. Holers of Arkansas , proceeded to obstructive methods to prevent action. After the roll call Mr. O'Neill stated that In order to rpmovo the pretext under which the gentlemen were resorting to filibustering tactics , he was willing to amend the resolu tion by striking out the clause limiting the time of debate on each measure called up. Mr. Rogers objected to the charge that lid was. acting under a pretext , The reason 'po was offering obstructions was that the jpommittcopn labor , with four bills on the Calendar" , was asking to have four days as- . - Ibignod , when the appropriation bill fromulnod undisposed of , ana the commit tea on ways and means was jniituring'i 'a bill affecting the interests , > pf honest 'labor a hundred limps more than - vny conceivable proposition over which the - pommittoo on labor hud Jurisdiction.

The pure lard , he said , was made from hog's heads , hog's feet , rougn lard nnd white grease. The white grcaso was made from guts and paunthcs. It was refined with soda nnd put In on top of the lard. Seven or eight tierces of pig's feet grcaso were purchased by Squires & Co. , and mixed in with the pure lard. Other witnesses corrobatcd tills testimony as to the use of white grease iu making lard in Squires' establishment After con siderable moro testimony an adjournment was taken. _ Nntinn'nl Finances. WAsnijfOTosJ , March 20. The senate com- mittco on finance this morning amended the Aldrich blll/'To authorize the secretary of the treasury to apply surplus money in pre payment of interest on the public dobtj' ' and ordered a favornblo report upon it. The first section of the original , bill authorizing tbo purchase of bonds with the surplus , is stricken out. The bill as it stands author izes the recrctary to receive any 4 per cent bonds nnd issue In exchange 3J per cents payable at maturity of the 4 per cents and exempt from state or municipal taxation. The committee also authorized Senator Sher man to report favorably a bill to wipe out the charges against states for the loan of 1830. which amounts between $20,000,000 and $20,000 000. _ Amending the Tariff Bill. WASIHNOTOX , March 20. Several amend ments were made to the Mills tariff bill be fore its completion In committee. One of thcso makes ornamental earthcmvnre , which is made dutiable by the bill at 40 per cent ad valorem , to pay a duty "of 45 per cent ad val orem. In the lion schedule the eutiro clause relating to steel ingots , and fixing the duty on that class of manufactures , which was re-classified to some extent , at 57 per cent ad valorem , was stricken from the 'bill , leaving the duty at the present hguro of 45 per cent nd valoiem , Hemp , flax and jute twines , which pay about 30 per cent , duty ad valorem , nnd which the original bill proposes to place at 25 per cent. , was still further reduced last .night to 15 per cent. Thepresont indicationsnro , that the bill will bo reported to tbo house in the early part of next week , although the committee has not formally directed a report to bo made. VOTED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. iVIcnuro Returns Show a Choice for Issuing Bonds. There was but little interest manifested in the special election held yesterday for the purpose of ratifying the action of the city council in voting the issuing of 100,000 in city bonds for paving and a Hko amount for sewerage purposes. A light veto was cast throughout the city , nud the polling places had but few callers , a number of these se lected not oven being opeued. This caused some dissension , and iu all probability the clerks and inspectors will bo called up to explain their disregard of their duties qnd the law. That apathy which prevailed among freeholders was also evident among clerks and Inspectors , who up to a late hour last night had not made returns. From ac counts received It is known , libwcver , that the votes for the bonds were" greatly In ex cess of these iu the negative. Filed Articles of Incorporation. The Star Lumber company , whoso princi pal place of business Is at Necnah , Wis. , and their capital stock f.0,000 , filed articles of in corporation with the county clerk yesterday. The corporators are John R. Davis , Ellen Amelia Davis , of Nocnah , Wis. ; B.V. . Davis , of Phillips , Wis. ; Renfrew Stevenson , ofc Council Bluffs , la. , and A. J. Whidden , of Omaha. _ Another Cold "Wave. The following notice of. the approach of another cold wave was received by Observer Chappel at 0 o'clock last night : ST. PAUL , Minn. , March 20.

Tlio Central Iowa engineers relumed to work at noon to-day. Fourteen freight trains were started from thU station ( luring the afternoon on the Central. The shop and office employes sus pended during the strike an- , ordered to return - turn to work. Towns on the Story City branch received their first mall to-night since Friday , Tlw settlement of the strlko was the result of n five-hour conference be tween six representatives of the brotherhood , Receiver Dudley and a representative of ttio court. The terms of agreement are not known. The Sixth Wreck. CiinsTON. la. , March 20. [ Special Tolo- graui to the BKK. ] An cast-bound stock train ran against souio cars standing on a side-track in the yards hero this 'afternoon , knocking the cylinder heads and cab off the * engine and upsetting three box-cars. This makes the sixth wreck happening between Charlton and Rod Oak during the past five days. Two engines rasped against each other nt a switch frop in the Creston. yards Saturday night , disabling both. New engine men are still arriving from the ca t nnd the local brotherhoods still hold three sessions dally. The latter are enthusiastic over late news from Chicago , not yet made public. A Rumored Combination. CHICAGO , March 20. The feature of the Burlington strlko to-day was the rumored combination between the engineers nnd fire men and the 2,500 switchmen and brakcmcn employed on the road. Inquiry among Drake- men and switchmen failed to authenticate- the rumor , although they admitted having heard of it and declaring that its consumma tion would mean certain defeat to the "Q' ' company. So > far as actual observation goes no change In the relative positions of the brotherhood and "Q" was to bo soon to-day. The latter maintains it is pursuing the oven tenor of its way undisturbed by the wars and rumors of wars on other roads , while the former express themselves satisfied with the situation nnd as confident of success as when flrst the strlko was called. Nothing New Locally. - There is absolutely nothing to say about the strlko on the Burlington. The trains arc , claimed to be running regularly , and there 13 no hitch in the freight traffic. The Burlington ofllclals claim that they have no fears of a general strike , and oven if ono should1 o5cur their road would bo greatly bencflttcd , ns their freight receipts woula bo largely In creased. They claim that Chief Arthur , of the brotherhood , will never order a strike if He lives up to bis word. Ho has said that the issue was between the engineers and tho. Burlington , and that the engineers mustwin a victory or suffer defeat rlgnt there. The Burlington managers claimed that they have won , and that their victory Is an overwhelm ing ono. If the Union Pacific engineers strike the B. & M. will do the greater share of the business. Hence the tio.up on the former would not bo disastrous to them in any way. It was learned nt the Union Pacific head quarters yesterday that the engineers have made no announcement as yet as to what they intend to do. i A number of merchants were seen yester day morning. Every ono expressed sympathy with the strikers , but believed that they should accept defeat quietly and seek em ployment elsewhere. A tie-up on the Union Pacific would causa thousands of merchants to loose heavily nnd would create enmity for the engineers where now sympathy and friendship exists. Said ono of the prominent shippers : "I don't think the boys will strike on the Union Pacific. By so doing they would help the B. & M. and create illfeeling toward themselves everywhere. MET AT AN KXaiNEEIl'S JIODSE. The grievance committee hold a short session at the Oozrcns house shertly after noon yesterday. What they did was not disclosed , and the delegation with a few engineers went out after the meeting with a view , it Is said , of continuing their deliber- tlons In tbo privacy afforded at ] the homo pf some of their number. Up to a late hour last night the committee had not returned to the hotel , and what action they decided upon is not known. There wore no changes iu the local situation at the depots at midnight. Everything was reported running smoothly on the Union Pacific , and this statement was substantiated by the activity with which switch engines worked nnd thoprompt departure of freights. The men on this road insist that they are handling no Burlington cars as yet , but refuse to say what would bo the outcome if they wcro asked to. These statements are substantiated by assurances from disinter ested parties , who have taken the trouble to watch departing trains , that car&oT Ihe road mentioned have not been pulled. Burlington & Northern's Say. CHICAGO , March 20. The managers of the northwestern lines have received advice from the Chicago , Burlington < Sc Qulncy road that its consent to Join in the movement to advance rates in the west applied to points on its own line , but did not include the Bur lington & Northern. As far as the rates to and from the latter road were concerned they would have to bo madoby an agreement by the managers of that lino. The manager of the Burlington & Northern insists upon the establishment of a pro-rate on all busi ness between St. Paul and the seaboard , as a condition of the advance. The northwestern lines will consider the matter Friday. A Sample Seal ) . LINCOLNNob. . , March 20. [ Special Tele gram to the Bun. ] As an illustration of the character of men employed by the Bur lington road at the present tlmo , the local committee has received n copy of a letter written by n scab engineer. The letter is dated at Turlington , Neb. , and was written to Charles Daniels , master mechanic of the Santa Fe at-San Bernardino , Cal. The letter says : "Mr * Charles Daniels Dear Sirs I am going to ask u favor of you and will repay you well for your trouble , nnd it will bo a big favor , " The scab recites that when the strike occurred hero ho went to the ofliccs and got n Job pulling a passenger train. Ho says ho received a notice that ho should get n recommend nnd ho could then keep his Job permanently. Ho asks Daniels to give him u letter stating that ho has had six or eight months runlng experience and prom ises him n valuable present in return , Dan iels , when ho received the letter , posted it on the register nnd an engineer copied it and sent a copy to the brotherhood hero. The engineer says that he knows the applicant for a recommendation well nud that ho started at the same time ho did flriug , but was discharged for drunkenness ana non payment of board bill : that ho had never run an engine and his attempt to secure a falsa recommendation did not work with the mas ter mechanic at San Bernardino. The copies of the letter , were forwarded od hero that the public might bo posted as to the character of the men the Burlington road has employed to handle pas- ficnger trains , and thu letter will be turned over U ) the state board of transportation to nsslBt them in unuaithliiK the mcouipetency Of the company , Travel on thoB.&M. and freight traftlo through the storm was even moro wrottficd than common.

Moro Sympathetic Resolutions , At the regular meeting of the Central labor union ttio following resolutions wcro adopted by the federated trades and labor of Omaha : Whereas , The brotherhoods of locomotive engineers and firemen have been on n strlko for some tlmo , nnd yet , whllo conducting themselves peacefully , have not accomplished the desired end ; nnd believing that it is the duty of nil labor organizations to consider Iho interests of each separate organlration , thereby protecting the workers from the en. croachmonts nnd abuses Of corporative 'power ; nnd further , having considered the dangers confronted by railroad employes in the discharge of their duties ; therefore , bo it , Resolved , That the Central labor union de nounce the notion of General Manager Stone nnd his coqwrntivd colleagues in not com plying with the demand of the locomotive engineers nud firemen for an Increase of wages placing them on an equal footing with the engineers nnd firemen of competing- lines ; nnd further , in th6 event that , the brother hoods should need assistance , that this body put forth every effort to extend n helping hand to them. Resolved , That this federation considers the decision of Judge Dundy to bo as prema ture ns it is partial nnd misleading. It en genders a discontent between employers nnd employed which would not exist were it not for such abuses of Judicial authority. It con serves the elements of feudalism ana places 'him In the front ranks of the "conservators of barbarism , ns Voltaire ( hlmsolf a lawyer ) has styled the lawyers. YOIIK , Neb. , March 17.

DBS MOINES , Io. , March 20. [ Special Tele gram to the BEB.I The decision of the supreme premo court regarding the transportation of liquors Into the state without a permit , was something of a bomb In the ranks of tha ex treme prohibitionists. They had come lobe- llcvo the Iowa supreme court a little higher than any other Judicial body on earth. They do not hesitate to day to express their chargrin nnd say that they think they will have diffi culty in malting prohibition as ironclad as they had expected. The railroad men are happy , and say this relieves them fiomtho great annoyance and bother of putting liquor on the same basis ns any other article of Inter-stato traffic. The anti-iirohibltlonsts say that this decision will bo followed by ono declaring invalid the decision of the Iowa supreme court , forbidding the manufacture of liquor for export , the ground on which the big distillery was closed.

AUTHORSHIP OF THE MEMOIRS. He Clnlma fo IlRvo IMndo Many Bug- Rcstlons of Grcnt Importance 111 the Construction of the Hook. Admn Tells Ills Story. Nnw YOUK , March 20. The Sun will to morrow publish General Adam Badcau's version of the controversy which has arisen between himself nnd Grant's family in regard to the claims Badcau makes for compensation for services to General Grant In the prepar ation , of his "Personal Memoirs. " The state ment Is addressed to the "American Public" and fills several columns of the Sun. Badcau defends his position nnd is severe in his strictures on the course pursued by Colonel Fred Grijnt in the matter. Ho tolls how much time nnd hard unremitting labor ho gave the work and how his own book , on which ho had spent sixteen , years was injured by the success of that of General Grant , which ho was at so many pains to rnaito perfect. "I did not wrlto the original matter , " said ho , "and in that sense did not compose the book. The thoughts were Gen eral Grant's and in most cases the original dntft of the language. But I suggested much. I told him when to insert descriptions of scenes , whcro to place an account of a character , how to elaborate the picture of a battle , etc. I discussed his statements nnd the advisability of his expressions of opinion and often persuaded him to change the ono or modify the other. I broke up sentences , 1 softened or heightened the olTcct , I cor rected grammcr , and nil with the knowledge and sanction of General Grant. I always sought to preserve his simplicity nnd directness nnd even , ruggcduoss of language and never to betray my own share in the work. Ho had no idea whatever of building up a chapter era a book , or of treating a theme BO as' to lead up to a point or to make a complete picture of an argument. But the .book could not have boon made what it is without mo. There was no 0110 else who had both my pe culiar knowledge of the theme and literary quality. There was no one else whom ho would have allowed to do what I did. Bub ho know how I , loved him and how devoted I was to his fame and ho trusted nil to mo. I would not have told half what I ntn writing now if it had not been extorted from bo by Imputakms < referred to by his son. Badcau claims that the letter of dismissal was ha the hand writing of Fred Grant with the exception of the signature.1 NEW YouK , March 20. The Herald , speak ing of Badcau's statement , says editorially : "General Badcau avers that General Grant , drugged , diseased and on the verge of tbo grave , signed n letter written or improperly inspired by his son , Colonel Grant , which , hod ho been in his right mind , ho would not hav6 signed. This letter , how ever , exists in General Grant's lltorary work on these days of bodily effort and tortures , and copied by his son for convenience. This fact General Badcau , of course , knows per fectly well. THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION. Schedule Arranged of Games For the Season. CnicAOO , March 20. The managers of the western base ball association adopted a schedule of games to bo played this season at a meeting to-day. A resolution relating to the disputed Kansas City ball grounds was adopted declaring the franchise granted McngesTevoked , cancelled and annulled , and the franchise to play base ball in Kansas City during- the Vcason of 1888 in. the Western association is granted to the Kansas City ball club. All clubs were ordered to place registering turn stiles at the entrances to the grounds. St. Louis , Kansas City and Chicago wcro allowed the privilege of changing- games to other than regular grounds to avoid conflicting dates with the American association and National league clubs. The playing of exhibition games in the spring between club members was pro hibited. Permission was granted St. Paal , Minneapolis and Qmaha to play such games as already arranged between them.

Menges. of the Kansas City club nnd President Thompson of the St. Paul club. Ho said ho had $3,000 in cash in his possession for the purpose of buying a fran chise In the western league , but beyond this ho had nothing to say. It looks as If a big deal of some kind was on the tapis. AMERICA FOR AMERICANS. Mrg. Carries tmno Clmpinnn'H Idea of Modern Emigrants. Mrs. Carrie Lane Chapman delivered a very Interesting lecture at the First Chris tian church last evening on the subject , "America For Americans. " She was favored witb. a good audience nnd succeeded in holdIng - Ing their attention throughout the lecture , Mrs. Chapman is n prepossessing woman of about thirty years. She is n nuont talker , lias n pleasing address and shows herself to bo a woman of broad culture , She ilrst alluded to the character of the flrst emi grants , the pilgrims , to this country nnd the people who foflowcd them for a number of years. In the course of tlmo the quality of ihls tldo of people kept changing to the worse until to-day the emigrants to this country comprise the worst scum of Europo. She thought that the present emigrants should bo deterred from coming. They nro n dan gerous class of people ; they nro Ignorant nnd lawless , and breed anarchy nnd crime. They lower the standard of American citizenship nnd corrupt the morals of the nation. The stoppage of Chinese Immigration was n good thing. The speaker lives in San Francisco and had a chance to learn something about these heathens. They should all bo sent back to China , Still in a good many respects the celestial is no worse than his European brother , and America Is best rid of both of them. THE IUVER AND ITS PIERS. How the Ice and the Cornea Affect the Yesterday's dispatches in the Bun from Sioux City spoke about the abandonment of the pier Iu the Missouri river now In course of construction ut that place us a support to the new bridge of the Chicago & Northwest ern road , Thu cause of the abandonment was Iho breaking of the ice-gorge , which was attended with cakes of ice of juodigious di mensions , nnd a rush of water which filled up the caisson , The men were forced to desist and it will require several days iu which to require the water to subside , though no damage is really expected. Yesterday n BCB reporter visited the site , of the bridge now being erected over the Missouri river ut the foot of Douglas street , and In a talk with the superintendent , Mr , Scully , ascertained that about the same state of affairs existed at that point as did further up the river at the point mentioned. Thq pier , however , which rests about in the mid dle of the river , was Mill about ten fcetabovo the surface of the river , although the air chamber was full of w atcr. The surface was almost covered with cakes of "mush" ice which were floating down the stream with mdro than usual rapidity. There was little danger , however , to bo feared from them because they simply * truck the rotund casing of the pier and then inovud aside without much delay. Mr , Scul ly said lie did not fear them very much bo , cause , a lew dojs ago , Urn acres of solid Ice brake loose und floated agaiilst the caisoii without doing any dauiugo. The pier is now on ued rock forty feet beneath the surface of the river , und Mr. Scully thlnka will bo able to withstand Jiuyfoao which may be brought agulbst iV.

The largo audience which attended the concert at.the First M. E. church last even ing have nothing but the warmest praise for it. It was given by the Sunday school classes of Miss Shcpard and Miss Harvey-and was under the immediate supervision of Mr. Frank 13rown , through whoEO efforts it was made the great success it proved.

Nearly all the mcmbois were encored. All the vocal solos were particularly well received. A hearty encore was accorded Leo G. Kratz for his solo "Tho Altar und the Throne , " and also Miss Hooder with "The Bettor Sand , " whllo "Ave Maria"oby Mrs. J. T. Clark was most rapturously applauded. Tha violin solo by Max Lcutz is deserving of n uro than a passing notice , and Prof. Walter's piano solos were particularly fine. Now Kiitclnml nnd the Yankee.
