The Passengers Interviewed. NOHTII PIATTE , Neb. , August 18. [ Special Telegram to THE BEE.J From passengers on union Pacific train No. 2 to-night your cor- pospondout learned the following particulars " concerning the attempted train robbery : As the train wus stopped at Dana's tank , a lonesome sidetrack ten miles cast of Edson , Wyo. , at 8:80 : Saturday morning , the en- pineer , while engaged in oiling his engine , was confronted by a man wearing a mask , prmed with two revolvers , who ordered him to throw up his hands. Tbo engineer , obeyed In a dilatory way , bucking up towards the cub while the Would-bo robber begun shooting in u promis cuous way , missing the engineer but wound- ng the fireman slightly in the nrra. Brake nun Tillson , uttructcd by the rumpus , run : ownrd the engine. Tillson was stopped by mother of the gang and ordered to throw up its hands. Ho responded by dropping his antorn and picking up a largo > lcco of slate. Ho went for his assailant , mocking him senseless. A number of shots \\-oro now fired , two taking effect on Tillson , bno each in his loft arm and hip. By this time the engineer had reached the cab and had the train already In motion , backing It up to Edson where they waited until a posse ar rived from Rawlins , after which 'the train proceeded on its way east , > This was all the fighting that occurred , the robbers , evidently being foiled In their fattempt by the manly and heroic action of Tillson und the engineer. Their plan seems to have been to capture the engine nnd run , khe tram to some point where they expected tnoro help and thnn go through the express ; ar and passengers. As near as can bo earned there were about ton men In ho gang , they of course having plenty if time to get away whllo tbo , ralu was going to Edson.

FIFTIETH CONGUES9. HUIIBO. August 18. In the house the committee of foreign affairs reported for Immediate consideration the senate bill to prevent the coming of Chinese laborers Into the United States , with an amendment re pealing the acts of MayO , 1883 , and July 5 , 1884 , the repeal to take effect on the ratifi cation of the pending treaty : Mr. McCreary stated that owing to the fact that the senate had amended the treaty , It had to bo returned to China for ratification by that government , nnd that It would bo probably the first of next year before the treaty could bo agreed upon. The object of the bill , ho said , was to curry out the provis ions of the treaty as soon ns ratified by both countries. Mr. O'Neill of Missouri said that every two years congress passed a Chinese bill ns nn Incident of the political campaign. In California the people scorned to want them. The laboring people did not want them , but the better class of people In California did. Mr. Fulton interrupted to say that the Callfornlans were obliged to employ Chinese labor because they had no other. Mr. O Nelll replied that they should adver tise in the cast , where there were great num bers of unemployed laborers. Convict labor wus absorbing all the great trades. Mr. Yost of Virginia asked who was re sponsible for the failure to take up the con vict labor bill. Mr. O'Neill ' replied that the gentleman from Iowa ( Lyumn ) had objected on the last occasion , Mr. Lyman denied that ho had objected to the labor bill. Hu had merely Insisted on having a day sot for conslderinir the bill. Mr. Bynum of Indiana said that the re publican party hod favored opening the doors to cheap labor , but wanted them closed on cheap goods. Ho said that the republican candidate for the presi dency , whllo in the senate , had voted In favor of every amenument which conferred greater rights upon the Chinese. On the other hand , Thurman had declared himself in the seirnto as in favor of a restric tion of Chinese immigration. Ho hoped that the bill would pass with the proposed amend ment. The democrats could glvo It their earnest support without stultifying their records. Mr. Dlngloy , of Maine , Inquired how It was that the democratic party had not acted upon the question of Chinese immigration when it had control of both houses during the Twen ty-sixth congress. Mr. Bynum replied that the question had not been brought up by any representative of the Pacific coast during that congress , Mr. Dingley replied that Mr. Page , of Cal ifornia , had introduced a bill , but It had never boon acted upon by the house or sonnU ) . Mr. Bynum "Tho vote of the president of the republican party had killed legislation up to that timq. " . . Mr. Felton , of California , said that the facts would not ndrnlt of the Chinese ques tion being made a party question. The people ple of the Pacific coast , regardless of party , opposed the incoming of Chlneso. Mr. Owen of Indiana replied to what ho characterized us an especial address to the voters of Indiana made by his colleague and denied the charges made as to the record ol the republican party and Its standard bearer upon the Chlneso question. In regard to the choree that Harrison had read before a lit erary society a paper in which ho advocated free and unrestricted immigration of the Chlneso , ho said that General Harrison , over his own signature , had denied having done any such thing. The gentleman's speech sought to Impress the public with the thought that the republican party was in favor of importing Chinese and pauper labor because it was cheap. The party that had built up tbo protective system in this country until the wuga workers in the land were the best paid , best feu , and the best housed und most intelligent and prosperous of any wage workers in the world , was not the party in favor of the importation of Chinese or other pauper labor. The geu- tleman had charged that General Harrison risen had voted against every bill to restrict Chinese immigration. Ho denied that charge. General Harrison had opposed the Chlneso bill , but the basis of his opposi tion hud been that it was in violation of treaty obligations. Whllo General Harrison had taken that position , and stood by it manfully , ho had not indicated by any net or word that ho was in favor of Chinese immigration. General Harrison had said that ho stood foi the honor of his government , and that the treaty should bo enforced in letter and spirit until by proper action It should bo abrogated. In thut position General Harrison had shown himself so broad in his statesmanship , so true to American interests , so straightforward and consistent in his course , that when , at Chicago , people of the Pacific coast could not get their first choice that grandest leader oi America , James G. Blainc they gave tneit votes solidly to Benjamin Harrison , and said that his record was squarely tor the interests of America on the Chinese question. The whole chuructcr of Benjamin Harrison was in favor of that which was called instinctively the American idea. Pending further debate the house ad journed. A ROAD HOUSC HOW. Two Coons and the Best Gala and a Crowd of Jehus. Two colored boys , Garth and Leaper , are badly used up. They hired a carriage and took their girls out to Hill's ro nd house , Whllo there they got into an altercation , Leuper struck his girl on account of some disagreement , and Garth slugged him because - cause ho did so. Then Leapor's girl struck Garth because ho interfered , after which the row became gedcrul. The fracas extended out on to the verandah of the house , and some hackmen and loungers seeing Garth strike his woman joined in the row. Gartli nfter making a strong fight was downed. His girl in the meantime had mode her way back to Omaha in the hack with her compan ions. Garth walked back , and after encoun tering the numerous barb wire fences on route arrived minus clothing nnd a counten ance which resembled n squeezed lemon. There were threats of organizing a band of negro's to go nnd clean out Hill's outfit last night , but good counsel and the appearance of a patrol wagon full of oflleeis prevented i raid , and possibly fatal results. A Bold Ilohhory. Charles Tyron , of Muskegan , Mich. , was robbed of a big valise at the Union Paclfie depot last night. Ho had been a guest ol the Windsor hotel and loft to take the ! o'clock train for the west. Ho Is n very sick man on his way to Call fornla. Ho was sitting in the waiting rooir when the train came In , and asked a mar near by to curry n heavy grip into the car offering to pay him. The man took the valtso. walked through the car , got off at the opposite end and skipped before the slcl man could glvo an alarm. The vullso wns filled with clothing am1 business papers. Mr. Tyron returned to the hotel to await developments. an Them All In. A Council Bluffs siren came to Omaha last night to have some fun.

Harrlnon'ft Chinese Uncord. WASQIKOTOX BunRAuTiiH OMAHA. Bna , ) , 513 FouuTKF.NTii STKKKT , > WASIHNOTOX , D. C. , August 18. 1 During- consideration of the senate bill to rosfrlot Chlneso Immigration , In the house , late this afternoon , Mr. Bynum , of India- hapolis , followed the example set by his confederate frjend , Mr. Vest , of Missouri , In the senate on Wednesday , und delivered nn nttackipon General Harrison , with n view to counteracting the exodus of labor Totes that is taking plnco frani the demo cratic ranks In Indiana. In general , the character of Mr. Bynuui's remarks relating to General Harrison's record on Chinese Im migration was a counterpart to , If not un adaptation of , the attempt of Senator Vest to explode burnt jwwder. It wns n rcthreshlng of weather-beaten straw. Ho had not spoken a dozen sentences till It became apparent to the members on the republican side that there was to be an extensive series of misrepresen tations. Dingley of Maine , Cannon of Illinois , Bayuoof Pennsylvania and other republicans arose nt once to correct , seriatim , the exag gerations , misstatemcnts und falsities us they were uttered , but it was not the truth that was wanted on the democratic side , and Mr. Bynum declined to yield. Hud ho done so but u few words now and then , us ho pro gressed , would have been all that was neces sary to have mude his speech ridiculous. Mr. Dingley occupied about six minutes in the dissection of Mr. Bynum's general state ments affecting the record of the republican party , nnd all thegentlemun from the Indiana district had said was nil. Bynum hold the republican party responsible for failure to pass a Chinese restriction bill in 18T9 and 18 0. Mr. Dingloy reminded him that both houses Of congress wcro in the hands of the demo crats then , und that they refused to print blanks to ndopt the bill presented by Mr. Page of California , which was ono of the best over offered on the subject , and , further , the democrats In that congress refused to carry Into effect the provisions of the first treaty negotiated to restrict Chinese immi gration , a treaty negotiated by a republican administration. Mr. Felton of California showed how the house committee on foreign affairs In the Forty-ninth congress Avus organized by Speaker Carlisle to defeat nntl- Chinese bills , nnd how Its present chairman. Perry Bclmont of Now York , bus smothered bills un the subject. The tables were already turned upon Mr. Bynum , the record was reversed , und the democratic party hold responsible. McCreary of Kentucky , n democratic mem- bdr of the committee , said the reason Mr. Belmont did not take action on the bill re ferred to was because the majority of the committee ( the democrats ) acting on thoud- vlco of Secretary Bavard , believed that if it became a law it would contravene existing treaty stipulations. Mr. Bayno wanted to know why the democrats refused to take General Harrison's explanation of this character - actor us his reason for opposing u bill in the senate. The democrats simply hung their heads in shame. Directly Mr. Owen of Indiana arose. Ho said that it was but a few minutes ago thut ho first learned that his colleague , Mr , Bynum. intended to deliver a speech for distribution alone in Indiana , and to make an attack on General Harrison , but Mr. Owen proved him self equal to any emergency requiring vigorous extemporaneous speaking. It took him but twenty minutes to completely ami i hiluto every essential statement of fact made by Mr. Bynum in un hour , und ho threw in n lot of good information beside. Mr. Owen suld that General Harrison never opposed legislation to prohibit Chlneso Immigration. On the other hand ho always favored It. lie opposed the disregard or violation of stipula tions of a treaty. He was ulwuys in fuvor of the prohibition of Chinese immigration , but ho contended tlmt it should be done in such u way as to not contravene existing treaties ; otherwise the statutory legislation would not stand the test of the courts. Gen eral Harrison was always opposed to permit ting Chinese , pauper or criminal labor , at home or abroad , coming into competition with American labor. Mr. Owen read a telegram from Miller & Elam , General Harrison's law part ners at Indianapolis , stating thut the allegation mude in relation to the naturalization of Chinamen ut Indianapolis in ISbl ) , or any other time , wns false ; thut such a thing had never been heard of , had never taken place und that a Chinaman was never known to vote at Indianapolis. Ho then proved that General Harrison had de nied over his own naiuo ttio malicious state ment in regard to his having read a paper before a literary society advocating Chinese immigration nnd citizenship. Ho showed how the democrats in the house only the other day hud defeated u proposition by Bu chanan of Now Jersey , to stop the truffle In criminal made goods. He quoted Senator Harrison in the sen.ito against the evils of Chinese Immigration nnd pauper labor , and demonstrated thut the general had combated the question with Senator ( now secretary of state ) Bliyard , and that the latter had taken his opposition to the restric tion of Chinese immigration into the depart ment of Htnto under President Cleveland. Ho allowed that Senator Harrison worked as a member of the committee on foreign re lations for und secured the passage of un effective untl-Chincso immigration bill In 1SSO , and uftor its passage by a republican senate u democratic house smothered it in committee. Ho closed by paying the general high personal tribute nnd declaring that ho wus in every way u typical American. Till ! IIKI'UIILICAN TAllIl'f DILL. It Is probable that the republican tariff bill will bo laid before tha senate committee on finance on next Tuesday or Wednesday. ThPio will bo harmony und all the republi cans will support the bill which will bo re ported to the senate. The senators from the northwestern states are likely all of them to urge free lumber. I have good reason to believe - lievo they will uccept the caucus conclusion whatever it inny be. In regard U ) the ] x > sltlon on the subject of tariff on lumber and other matters of special Interest to the northwest occupied by Senator Mundorson , nnd stated in TIIK BKK dispatches , it is understood that Senator Paddock Is In perfect accord with his colleague. There is good reason to believe that whatever differ ences there may bo among republican sen ators , respecting tiie few mutters in debate at present , they will bo fully adjusted in caucus , nnd the best obtainable propositions concerning all the circumstances and the diverse interests and complications will bo secured by caucus action und presented unanimously to the senate by the republican senators.

Your hearty invitation to "como out and see the great west" is In Itself nn Induce ment , for there is nothing moro flattering to ono who loves his country , and takes a deep interest in its future , than the rapid develop ment and prosperity of the great west. A nearer acquaintance with this nnd with the men who have usslstod in it would indeed bean an enjoyable experience , but the duties de volving upon mo as a consequence of the Chicago convention prevent my acceptance of your Invitation , and nostpono the trip through Nebraska it would give mo so much pleasure to take. Please present to your members _ my best wishes for the extended usefulness 'of their organization.

The uncertain political situation'of legislation hero reminds mo that duty to the republican party und to my state can best bo subserved by my remaining here. It would afford mo great pleasure to take part in the ! proposed picnic and to say what might occur to mo to advance the Interests of the good cause , but I doubt not the members of the club will argue that I should not if I could leave the capital. I trust nn opportunity may present itselt during the campaign when I may meet the club und do what lies in my power to aid its Interests.

Dr. Mercer's Motor Line Captures Lower Douelas Street. Late yesterday afternoon the Omaha Horse Cur company begun the work of tearing up the paving on Ninth street between Fnrnnm und Douglus. Beginning ut the south side of Douglas street parallel lines were cut through the asphaltum for a distance of two or three rods. It was reported that the horse car com pany intended to lay a track nrounO the block from Farnam strc-eton Ninth to Doug las , thence to Tenth and back to Farnam. One object , apparently , was to monopolize Douglas street at the Juitctlon with the now bridge across the river und crowd out Dr. Mercer's electric railway , whoso projectors hud expected to use lower Douglas street to reach the bridge. At least Dr. Mercer's company looks at It in that light und Is straining to checkmate its rival. A largo gang of men was engaged and worked all night from the bridge west on Douglas street to Twelfth , tearing up the street for the motor truck. To-day bolmr Sunday , it is expected that the work can bo pushed forward without any annoyance from injunction proceedings. KIT CljARKK'S ATTACHMENT.
