With Ilia Hanilft Be-
lilnd Hint.
HiintltiR tlio Briber.
Councilman Lowry's forced absence from
tbo city , on which an attempt was made to
adjourn the alleged Dorsctt franchise
bribery case , turncdout to bo a trip to ono of
the cemeteries Just ouUIdb the city limits , Ho
was on hand at 10 minutes past 2 'clock yes
terday afternoon when Chairman IJurnhnm
called'tho Investigating committee to order.
Tlio entire committee , Councllmcn , Burn-
1mm , Hertford , Ualloy , Knspar and Ford ,
were present. Messrs. Lowry , Leo , Sanders -
dors ami Sciriver ) wcro tlio only other mem
bers of the council present.
On calling the committee to order. Mr.
Burnham stated the Investigation would bo
necessarily an informal ono on account of
the nature of the charges.
Attorney Simcral nppcnred for Mr. Lowry
upon whoso statement , that ho had been of
fered a bribe the investigation was started.
The first witness called was A. Shilling
law , the electrician , whoso alleged attempts
to "gettn on the ground floor" of the Dorsett
deal , caused the springing of. tlio bribery
deal. Ho testified that ho was engaged by
Armour & Co. , and had been an electrician
| or tlio past fifteen years. Ho acknowledged
1lmt ho was the author of the
letter which has been published
in these columns. Ho said that
Councllmcn Chaffco and Davis had asked
him to assist them In their examination of
the systems used In placing wires under
ground. Had not known Mr. Dorsctt until
ho had seen him In Chicago during the visit
of the Omaha council to that place. Mr.
Dorsctt promised tbo witness tlio position of
.superintendent of construction of the Dor
sctt system in Omaha If ho would lend his
assistance In pushing the claims of
the Dorsctt system baforo the
Omaha council. Dorsott wanted witness
to withdraw his remarks against
the Dorsott system and to favor it in the
future.
"When I asked Mr. Dorsctt , " explained
the witness , "What assurance I could have
that tlieDorsctt system would bo adopted In
Omaha , ho said that the mutter had bean ar
ranged with members of the council and had
a majority of them fixed so that the matter
wou'.d go through. "
, J\Ir. \ Bailey Did ho mention any names of
the members ho had Ilxcd )
- Mr. ShllHnglaw No , ho did not mention
any names.
Mr , Sitneral Did you know that ChufTco
and Davis wcro going to Chicago when you
'wentl
. Shilllnglaw I did not.
The witness was very positive that in all
of'his conversations with Mr. Dorsott no
mohtlon'had been made of the names of any
tncmbors of the council.
Cross-oxamlncd by Mr. Koysor , who rep
resented Mr. Domett , the witness said that
ho wont to SPC Dorsctt at the suggestion of
Councllmcn Lowry , Chnffco and Davis , who
wanted him to sea tbo matter through.
Mr. Koysor Did the members of the coun
cil pay your expenses !
Mr. ShllHnglaw No , sir , I paid my own ,
and any ouo who says I didn't simply lies.
.There's ono On you , Dorsett. You wanted
mo to go , but I wouldn't.
Chairman IJurnham requested the witness
to conflno his remarks to the committee and
nettle his trouble with Dorsctt outside.
The witness said ho would not accept the
BUporlntendency of construction in Omaha of
the Dorsctt system , as he now has a much
better uosition. Ho opposed the system because -
cause any underground system would bo
detrimental to the interests of the Armour
company in Omaha.
The witness'ln closing stated that parties ,
who had been represented by-Mr. Dorsctt us
1 .favoring his system , had como out in opposi
tion to the system , among thorn Electrician
Potton and Prof. Barrett of the Chicago Arc
Light company.
Councilman Lowry was next called. In
reply to Mr. Burnham's question as to
whether ho had been offered stock in the
Dorsott systdm In order to favor the meusuro ,
bo said , ho bad. Ho said Mr. KHclicn
who is interested in tlio system hau asked
him to help got the thing through the coun
cil. "I promised him I would , " said Mr.
Lowry. " * ' I found tno system was a good
one. When wo went to Ctiicngo I found op
position to the Dorsott system.
Mr. Dorsott said to mo in
Chicago that ho would give me the contract
for the work in Omaha , and would show mo
how to make some money out of It. I con
sidered the proposition a bribe , in form , at
least' *
"Mr. Bcchol has been offered stock , " said
Mr. Lowry. "to use bis inllucncc In getting
this thing through the council. Do not know
of any member of the council who has boon
influenced by any consideration offered by
the Darsott people. "
Mr. Koysor "Did you have a letter from
nnOmnha telegraph company when you went
to Chicago , giving you authority to use the
telegraph free of Chicago ! "
Mr. Lowry ( after a moment's hesitation )
"Whore 'did you get It ! "
"It was sent by mail. "
"Did you know of it before you loft
Omaha ) "
"No sir , I did not. "
"Who paid your expenses 1"
"Mr. Kitchen , at whoso Invitation wo wont
to Chicago. "
" "Did you over ask Mr. Kitchen if there
was anything in thli thing for you If itent
through tbo counclll"
"Not by n lug full , and Mr. Kitchen won't
stand up and eay so. "
W. P. Bcchel stated that ho had never had
n conversation with any person claiming to
represent the Dorsctt subway system except
Mr. Hiall , and In that conversation no dona
tion of stock was hinted at , The convorsn-
' tlon tootc place in the council chamber four
'prflvo WOOKS ago , Tuesday or Saturday
.night , and In it the witness was asked
vrhotnor ho would not use what influence ho
might possess with the members of the
council to got the franchise passed and told
that In that event there would bo some stock
given. Ho did not consider the proposition
utall. On cross-examination the wltnenu
staled that ho had no Interest in the Grant
subway affair.
Councilman Cbaffco did not know of any
Influence being brought to boar upon the
council. Ho requested ShllHnglaw in Chi
care to forward the letter that hod boon
published. Ho had been informed by that
gentleman of what had bcon said to him , anil
Had requested that the matter bo put In
writing , Ho and the other members of the
Chicago committee of the council had not
confined their observations In that city to the
Dorsott system , but had posted themselves
on the workings of ether underground con
trivances , ahllllnglaw was living In Chicago
ana he had been Invited to go with- the dala-
gatlon as a-frlend. .
Councilman O'Connor was not aware that
any member of the city council had been ap
preached by offers of stock. Ho certainly
was not. Hod boon told not to express any
opinion in the premises. Pressed to disclose
vrho bad orijolnod his passlvoncas tlm coun
cilman saw n loop hole in stoutly as
serting that he hnd boon discussing the gen
eral features of tlio subway methods some
what emphatically , when some mysterious
being suggested that ho snoko bin mind too
freely. Nothing more definite could be
wrung from O'Connor.
] J. If. Dorsott "I dictated the letter dutod
at Chicago March 25 and signed it. The
electrical gentleman who flgurnd so conspic
uously with the Omnhu delegation is Mr
Shllllnglaw. AVlicro I write that ho hud had
business relations with several members of
the council I refer to u conversation j iiaj
with Mr , Sbilllnglaw , but at that time I
thltilc no names wore mentioned. Ho made
the remark , Just as that letter put * It , that
ho could bo of grcut service to us In getting
the ordinance passed , but that like meet of
the pcopla in Omaha ho was not there on
Account of his health. On the first day
a ( the dologution'n uy in Chicago ul
9 o'clock 1 went to the Grand Paclfla hotel ,
wtioro thQ Omaha gentlemen were stopulmr.
and saw Mr. Shlllinglaw , whom I did not
lcno\v at that time , talklnir with Mr. Jenkins ,
atul from that proximity I Judged him to be
an electric man. I was Introduced to Shlll-
Jajtlaw by Mr. Jenkins. I asked my now ne-
quiintanoe If bo baa acquainted with any of
the OauJu party , and ho replied that lie
I M kU Una tn Oman * . U t ba li < i
tin nro plant At South Omaha which was out-
sldo the fire limits and therefore was not In
a position to bo affected by the p&ssngo
of a subway ordinance. Ho asked , mo
what had bcon dnno and I Informed him that
the local company that had been formed In
Omaha was then represented In Chicago by
Mr. Kitchen. Ho Inquired into the capital
ization of the company and when posted told
me that ho considered it n good scheme. Ho
further stated that ho had boon compelled to
visit Ms famil in the forenoon so that ho
had missed the forenoon's Investigation , but
that It did not mutter , AS several of the coun
cil in his hearing had spoken favorably of
the Dorsott conduit. Then It was that ho
said ho thought ho could Influence the Omaha
gentlemen , but that llko most people -
plo In Omaha bis efforts were
not confined to Improving his
physical condition. Ho pressed his
claims to bo lot In on the ground floor of the
enterprise in the face of my assuranca that
there was no ground floor to stand on in the
absence of the franchise. I made no ques
tion that his services could bo utilized by the
subway company iti the event of it securing
n franchise , as I know they hud not retained
nn electrician. Saturday morning Just after
the delegation hnd breakfasted and were
Preparing to return homo ho mot mo nt the
eamo hotel and taking mo aside said
that I had promised him tbo other
day to take him into the Omnhn
scheme , as ho called. It , nnd wanted to know
what bo was to have out of It before pro-
cdcdlng further. I repeated my nssurnno of
Thursday and promised to speak to Mr.
Kitchen uoout him , but in the hurry of the
departure. I was unable to do so. Ho de
murred to the reference of Kitchen nnd in
sisted on nn answer so strongly that I in-
fcrrod ho wanted a gift of Btocknnd turned
from him. It was my opinion then , and is
now , that ho was trying to wedge himself
into the deal on account of his alleged con
trol of two or three of the councilman. That
opinion is based on experience in obtaining
franchises In ether cities. The attitude as
sumed by Mr. Sbilllnglaw is n very common
ono.
ono."I always considered Mr. Lowry , us
favorable to our system , as ho bos told mo
that bo was acquainted with the warnings of
it , but I never offered Mr. Lowry any stock
In any way , shape or form , nnd did not tell
him that our influence would bo used in
helping him secure material to bo used In
construction in caso.ho was made contractor ,
for there Is nothing entering Into the build
ing of the conduit that Is not manufactured
by us.
"Tho National Subway company has no
Interest in the Omaha Subway company beyond -
yond n royalty for patents and the contract
for placing the conduit hero. And the
Omaha company Is not bound to use our sys
tem if it ran find a bettor ono. "
Councilman Davis stated that ho had pre
sented the letter of Shllllnglaw to the coun
cil ; that the gentleman hnd made it conven
ient to visit his homo in Chicago nnd go on
the same train-with the delegation ; that ho
thought the disposition of the Dorsott , people
in Chicago hnd been to show tholr own sys
tem to the delegation to the exclusion of all
other metiiods of subway , and that ho was
not farojudlced against the Dorsctt subway
but wanted to select the best method of sub-
conveyance.
Mr. Hlall In regard to the testimony of
Mr. Bcchol. I had a conversation with that
gentleman n month or six weeks ago , in
which I asked hiiulf ho wns interested in the
Grant subway , and was told by thnt gontlo-
incn that ho was not. I then said that I
would like to explain the workings of the
Dorsctt method , that I was sura bo would bo
satisfied of its practicability and thnt it was
the moro to bo desired In that considerable
money could be rcall/ed out of It. Mr. Buchol
sold ho would llko to co ever the matter
with me and wo agreed to take up the sub
ject again , but that was the last talk I had
with him. I did not offer to give Mr. Bochol
any of the stock of the company for his in
fluence over the council.
A. M. 'Kitchen stated thatho was a director
in the Omaha subway company , ana that in
his efforts to sccuro a franchise ho had not
hold out inducement to conncllmcn. i
Mr. Kaspur "Wero you over approached !
by any member of the council with a request
that you give something for his vote ? "
Mr. Kitchen "Yes , I was by Tom Lowry.
The first night that the franchise was asked
of the council I went to Mr. Lowry and
asked his' support and he * turned his face up
to mo and said :
"Kitchen , what is there in it if I do ! "
I said 'Mr. Lowry , I hnvo nothing to do
with anything of thnt kind.1
"Some time -afterwards I mot Mr. Lowry
on the street and inquired if he would sup
port the franchise.
i'Well , " ho says , "you will have to como
around and sco mo. I am straight goods. "
"Ho had told me after the examination in
Chicago that everything was all right , and
wo were anxious to begin ordering material.
That is' the reason I vmshed Mr. Lowry. Ho
did not intimate what. ho wanted to sco us
for , but I considered his remark as a bid for
a bribe , I did not toll him that tha friends
of the subway would bo taken care of. No
member of this council can say that I tried
to load him in Chicago. I invited the council
on behalf of the Omaha subway company to
go to Chicago nnd investigate the conduit
svstcm in that city. I have no reason to
think that , any member of the subway com
pany has made any corrupt proposition to
secure this franchise. "
A. Shillinglaw denied having mot Mr. Dor
sott In the Grand Pacific hotel Saturday
morning before the departure of the Omaha
councllmcn , nnd argued that ho could not
have had the conversation with Mr. Dorsett
that that gentleman had detailed. Ho culled
upon any councilman who had visited Chicago
cage to say whether ho had bcon at the
hotel.
Mr. Kaspar "You spoke to mo on the
sidewalk in front of the Grand Pftulflc "
However on taking the stand subsequently
Mr. Kuspar remembered that it was after the
departure of most of the councilmen for
Omaha and on his return to the hotel that he
had seen Mr. Shillinglaw.
Councilman Lowry was recalled.
Mr. Ford "You heard the statement of
Mr. Kltdhunl"
Mr. Lowry "As f r as my making a de
mand of him is concerned , his statement is
untrue ; I made no demand of him whatever.
The proposition ho made to mo was that the
friends of tbo Dorsott system would bo taken
care of. "
Mr. Kitchen hero Jumped up and excitedly
exclaimed that ho had not stated that any de
mand was made of Mr. Lowry. and that the
statement of the gentleman that ho had
promised to take care of the frlonds of his
subway was false.
Mr. Lowry "I might mention ether facts
that wilt sustain my position , , but I don't
want to ring in tbo name of a gentleman who
would bo injured by the disclosure. "
Mr. Slmoral "If you fool at liberty to
utatfl the gentleman's iiatnol-wlsh you would
do so. "
Mr. Lowry "I withhold It because 1
think it would bo injurious to him to men
tion It ; it was a matter of confidence be
tween him and mo. "
Mr. Ford "Is ho a member of the coun
cil ! "
Mr. Lowry "No. "
Mr. Ford "I think you am In duty bound
to answer. Your InU-tfrity is Impugned. "
Mr. Kitchen "I wUU ho would , 1 think ho
is afraid to do it. "
This last remark seemed to determine the
wavering of the witness and ho said : "It is
Mr. Frank Johnson , Ho told mo right in the
bank that there would bo a good deal of
stock In this deal. I did not want to men
tion his name and I would not have done so
hau It not been forced out of mu in thin way ,
Thnt conversation took place shortly before
wo wont to Chicago , on the afternoon that
ho insisted on my going. There was no one
else prrscnl ; it was Just between the two ,
Mr , Koysor "Didn't you testify when on
the stand before that there never had been
any offer of stocu except the contract that
you ullcgo Dorsett proposed to you in Chi-
Mr Dowry "I call that equivalent to
stock. "
Mr. KeysorDidn't you ay thut up to
that time you had been evenly balanced in
thh mutter and that there had boon nothing
dnno at nil after you got back from Chicago
cage ! " *
Mr. Lowry "No. Frnuk Johnson threat-
cnod mo t-iroiiL'ti another party that I had
better bo careful about myself. That threat
wu * senl through John Flynn , a dork for
Hugh Murphy. "
Mr , Kitchen > ll'hat statement tinll wrong
and wo have sent for Mr. Johnson to provo
Mr. Lowry "Well , I will sit right hero
until thU thing U finished up. "
The tcrgeant-ut-nrms was despatched to
bring Mr. Johnuon and Mr. Fiyii'i , and In
thn meantime Mr. Frank A. Hoent , secretary
of the National Sub\vuy company , was railed.
Mr , Ford seemed to be hungry. A piano )
at thn clock had shown his dinner hour' * iiear
Indicution on tbo dial. "Uuitlouiln , " satil ho ,
"I wmiiiuiuunv whether tUU committee U
going to swear this glntlemlu to advertise
his condootl"
Notwithstanding the big councilman' * pro
test Mr. Hccht wns permitted to say that the
records of his company did not speak of any
stock bolng In the hands of Dr , llarrott and
that ho hnd n high opinion of that gentle
man's judgment In the sub-conducting of
electricity.
Messrs , Johnson and Flynn did not ap
pear upon the conclusion of the testimony of
Mr. Hccht and the committee adjourned to
10 o'clock this morning.

IIo Gives the Dorfiott Affair Some
Hnrd Knocks.
Walter G. Tlrrol , local manager of the
Thompson-Huston company , IB ono of the
most practical ns well as. oxporlcncod elec
tricians in Omahi. Ho says it would bo
n great detriment to the city. If a franchise
should bo granted to the present or any
ether stock-Jobbing nub-way corporation. In
speaking of this matter , ho re-
vlovyod nt considerable length the history of
Dorsctt and his system In Chicago , ' said ho ,
"tho schema wns Introduced and worked
there tn Just the same manner ns they nro
trying to do It horo. The company wa's nn
Inflated concern. It first bonded the fran
chise for $1,500,000 , which cost { 40,000 In
sugar to cortntn officials for (1,000,000. It
than issued Block , wont around
soiling It to everybody , nnd raised ns much
moro. After the condnlt wan put In nnd
tried It proved such n failure that to-day the
only wires to bo found in it nro those belong
ing to the district mcssongor service. The
stock is worthless If this city should now
force us to put our wires underground nnd
pay the subway company ? 1,000 n year uor
mile rent , which Is the amount they got In
Chicago , wo would cither hnvo to double the
nrlco of our lights or go out of business. I
know that the tiling is impracticable , nnd
so do the sensible couticilmcn who
wont to Chicago for the purpose -
pose of investigating it. But there
seems to bo a few members of the council
who consider the subject no further than the
promise of this company that it is going to
spend $30,000 this year nnd they thlnir it will
make money plentiful. What does $50,000
amount to when n franchise is thrown away
for boodle to an institution that will bo of
no use to anybody ! It will give n few inon
employment for a short time. I can say to
you now thnt if this thing is defeated my
people will spend 5250,000 here during the
next twelve months in enlarging nnd build
ing a now plant. Instead of giv
ing employment tbo yonr round
to sixteen men , ns now , I will
then have from forty to fifty. The plans'for
now buildings , now machinery and oVory-
thlng clso nro ready and wb oxpcct homo - mechanics
chanics to get the contracts for putting thorn
up. so you see the bnlk of thnt $250,000 will
not bo sent nwav from hero. It Is our inten
tion to reduce the prlco of lights and main
tain circuits day and night for-tho benefit of
small manufactories in the heart of the city.
But if this subwny Job goes through' and wo
nro ordered to go under ground it will bo impossible -
possible for us to increase and improve out *
service. "
Mr. Tirroll also argues that by reason of
the great territory ho" la compelled to'cover
here in order to got to business it would
ruin him to bo forced to uatronizo any sub
way concern thut charged rent at the rate of
51,000 a mile per year. "If wo must go un
derground lot the city provldo some system
and control it , or leave the matter entirely
to the telegraph , tolophono'and electrio light
companies themselves. This Dorsott affair
is not what wo want It is objected to be
cause of the fact that it has been a failure
everywhere. I am satisfied that all .theso
stories of oroffercd boodle to counoilmen nro
true , and when the time comes they will be
proven true. I can't toll you until this matter -
tor is settled what wo will do about the
building of a now power house. "Wo have
tbo ; option on a site that will cost us
523,000. " _
ChntTee nnd Sliilllnglaw.
There has boon a great aoal said of the
late councilmanio visit to Chicago to inspect
the Dorsett subway , nevertheless a great
deal moro could bo told if the tourists and
those with thorn could bo induced to become
communicative. * - - * 51 > ? V *
Ex-councilman Kitchen opene juy a little
chapter concerning Mr. Chaffoe. Ho re
ferred to the statement of Councilman Davis
in Wsdncsday night's BBC that Dorsctt com
pany refused to show them any thin golso In the
subway line except its own system , and on
the second day of the visit had loft the com
mittee to look out for themselves. The faot-f
ho claims is that the * , company
baa placed ovcry convenience , 'possiblo
at their disposal ' to" enable thorn
to arriva nt a Just estimate
of tno value of the system , on.be ) ; , day of
tholr arrival. That nigUt tha.committee
met and appointed a sub-committco of five to
make an investigation without the assistance
or presence of any of the'subvny" pc&plo.
Mr. Kitchen , as representing tho.lattcr , was
so notified of the resolution.and told the
members that they were , of co.urso , at liber
ty to do Just as they felt disposed in .tho mat
ter. - M'- * - .
Next morning the committee-started out
in its tour but was accompanied by Schilling-
law. The latter took thorn to ovcry company
and individual in the city who was
opposed to the Dorset * ' system.
When the committee returned at
noon to the hotel , City Engineer-Tillsnn ,
who had been with it in the mornlng-said ho
would not go out with it in the afternoon if
Shillinglaw was allowed to accompany it.
This rather incensed Chaftoo , who protest
ed that the party objected to should' ' bo al
lowed to go along.
Tillson claimed that Schilllnglaw had no
right to accompany them because ho was evi
dently opposed to the Dorsott system as also
because the representatives of the latter
had boon told that their presence was not
needed. The committee , ho thought , wore
intelligent enough to form an opinion fqr
themselves.
This view was sustained by the ether
members of the committee , with the excep
tion of Chnffoo. Accordingly , when the trip
was made in the afternoon.ShllIlDgluw , re
mained , and so did Cbaffoo. <

Subway Triumvirate.
The subway company's headquarters' ' pre
sented quite a lively scone yesterday , and
tnrco or four parties chiefly interested in the
boodle controversy , wore"extremely mirthful
over their expressed ability to provo n great
many things which would placo" certain par-
tics in a very uncomfortable position.
D. II. Dorsett , head and front of tlo ) un
der ground scheme had como on In rcspouo
to a telegram from Ernest Rial , and was ono
of the mirth provokers. Mr. Dorsott muy
bo classed as a rapid-transit man , Last
Monday , in Chicago , ho wrpto a letter pub
lished in Wednesday's BEK. Ho is known to
U.UVQ been at St. Louis the same day ; Ulal's
telegram reached him hi St. Paul , and now
ho Is walking the streets of Omaha.
Notwithstanding their confidential and
rather humorous attitude , very little information
mation could bo obtaluod as to what la to bo
shown at tbo investigation. Dorsott said ha
hnd no idea what the trouble was about un
til after his arrival hero.
"Wo propose to bring out a great many
surpmlpg things. " remarked A. M.
Kitchen , which declaration Inspired Mr. Rial
to observe that "Councilman Lawry has
made his chnrgon now lit him prove them , I
take notice , however , that he says nothing
about carrying a letter of Introduction from
the Western Union people when ho wont to
Chicago , which requested certain parties
thereto treat him well ; neither does ho
mention a special fruuklng privilege extend
ed to him for use of the Western Union
wires , nor the forty orllfty telegrams that
were sent free of cliargo while ho was in
Chicaco. However , all those things will
como out at the invcbtlgation. "
Mr , Dorsctt said thatho met Lowry on his
first visit to Omaha and had assurances from
him thcna * well also as on his recent visit to
Chicago , where ho went around with bis
hand behind his back , that ho was friendly
to and would support the subway nchomu.
"It struck mo as being peculiar , " bo con
tinued , "when I sa'w him theru , and when
wo walked and talked together , that instead
of inquiring Into the morlta of the uystom. ho
endeavored to learn all about the enterprise ,
whether It was a paying Institution , ana
what the return was upon the investment ,
and all that kind of talk. "
Mike Lee dropped in to announce , that ho
had been dubbed tha "Earl of Dorftolt. "
Subsequently , the reporter met Mr. J. J.
Dickey and Mr. Sulllinglaw , both of whom
asserted positively that they were ready and
auxloui to face thu mualc. "What I stated
in my letter , " continued the latter gentle-
"la the truth und. I aw hero to provo it.
Only for the fact that the Investigation Is so
near at hand , I might toll you considerable ,
but everything will bo made public thoro. "
Mr. Dfckoy was nnlte-d.nbout the reported
favors shown by'lils-lnstltutlon. the Western
Union , to which ho replied , "If Mr. Lowry
hnd any such fnvor lho did not got them
from mo , and I do t/beHovo the story. "

Ills Vlowfl Up&VChrTstlftnlty and the
MoUjftilst Scot.
At tbo First Mottrodlst church last night
thcro was n inlsslfm union of the various
churches of that ilc koinlnatlon , , but there was
only n fair representation. After n few pro- ,
llmlnnrlcs , such opting nnd prnyor scrvlco
and a reading of thb scripture by Uov. T. C.
Clondcnnlng , Bishop Nowmnn was Intro
duced. Ho stated that a committee from the
Motliodlst churches' hnd courteously re
quested him to make a talk on mis
sions. Ho supposed that the congre
gation wns a fair representation of
the Methodist churches of the city. Ho
knew that all the ministers of the church
were In nttcndnnco except one , and thnt ono
could not bo present. The bishop bollovod
thnt thcro wns a class of people who would
not attend n missionary meeting for tha
reason that they thought it meant n collection
would bo taken. There wns no contributions
nskod. A mnn who Wnutcd to go to honvcn
in the cheapest possible way , thought the
bishop , should have cheap apartments when
ho arrived at thut destination.
The subject upon which Bishop Newman
preached wns "Tho Christian Outlook of the
World. " Ho made a very able aud eloquent
address nt length on his theme. Ho didn't
think thcro would ever bo n time when there
would bo no Dinners. If ho , himself , could
not comprehend religion , ho could npprohond
it. Christ was the only religions teacher who
hnd a lesson for to-morrow. Other religious
teachers hnd ono of the past. Christianity ,
ho thought , should not bo estimated Dy
numbers , but by quality. If numbers
were adhered to and Christianity

The bishop cited the increase of Christians
In the old countries from ono hundred years
ago. The fact centered on Christianity.
To-day the central thought of tlio'
world ' was upon" man. A century
ngo'lt was on the masses of men. Ho had
been In nil Innds 'nnd over the waters of all
seas during his travels , but had not counted
the converts of the missionaries by num
bers , but looked nt the general influence of
the foreign missions. While in China ho
wns told how the hcathon wns converted to
Christianity , The : common expression in
this county wns that the wretched Chlnn-
ninu could not bo converted.Vhou ho
sought ono who had boon induced to believe
in Christ ho asked him how ho felt when the
spirit worked within him. The converted
mnn replied that ho felt like ho wns in n
sack with a lot of reptiles nnd serpents. Ho
was in much ngonyviind his impulse was to
appeal to Jesus Christ. IIo did so nud was
immediately takonjfroni the bag containing
the snakes.
The bishop recognized Roman Catholic
priests and would phquldor a gun to fight for
them or any otherjyho was in the right , but
a Jesuit ho wasiiOveJudiced against. In
strong und ouipliitLj words ho denounced
thorn , and received great applause.
"We should got out of our denominational
bigotry nud nspiro tQp greater church , " snid
the bishop ; "and tmdlj is the church of God.
It is greater thai ) , any denomination. Wo
must remember the larger spirit , and that
is what cheers tno.missionary. . The happiest
people whom I mcTxyhilo In foreign countries
wpre the inissiomirj } workers. They were
always chccriul , Iduly met ono despondent ,
man nnd ho was n/fjqjifhelor. There was no
wonder that ho WJR dejected. Any man who
has not a wife is oiil a half man , I am as

Tlio Objection to Unlstcna.
.WASHINGTON , Match 33. The executive
session of the senate lasted between two nnd
three hours this afternoon nnd was Confined
largely to a discussion of the nomination , pf
Murat Halstead .to bo minister to Germany !
Before that came up the nominntionsof John
C. New to bo consul general to London , and
Lewis Wolfloy to bo governor of Arizona ,
which were pending , were confirmed. The
final attempt of the .opposition to defeat
IMOW'S confirmation was based upon the
assertion that his paper , tlio Indianapolis
Journal , had published articles reflecting
upon the private character sof President
Cleveland. This charge was warmly denied
by Senator Yoorhccs , of Indiana , and the
nomination confirmed.
The committed on foreign relations favor
ably reported all the diplomatic nominations
of .yesterday , but in the case of Halstead the
report was not unanimous. On motion to
confirm his nomination the nays wore in the
majority , Senators Teller , Plumb , Ingalls ,
Farwoll mid Cullom voting with the demo-
crnts. Sherman moved to reconsider the
vote , and on that motion a long dcbato en
sued , in the course of which the ground of
objection to Halstead was disclosed. When
tho' senate refused to enter upon an in
vestigation of the election of Sena
tor Payne , of Ohio , Hnlstcnd , whoso
paper , the Commercial Gazette , had strongly
urged an investigation , made uncompliment
ary allusions to the republicans who voted
against the investigation. The feeling
against him by the hcuutora who fell under
his displeasure nt that time is very bitter ,
nnd ono of them is roportcd.to have said to
President Harrison this morning that Hal-
stead could not bo confirmed tuat the sen
ators whom ho had criticised would not vote
for him. The motion to reconsider was
pending when the senate adjourned. Tlio
vote on the confirmation was taken before
there wcro any speeches.

Tlioy Arc of tlio Opinion That the

served For the Pub
lic Benefit ,
The Fated Avonuo.
To the Editor of THE BKE ! In reply to an
article In the Omaha World of the 27th ,
headed "Motor on the Avenue , " I doslro to
submit , ns a property owner on Sherman nv-
cntio , the following : The members of the
city council who arc so vigorously espousing
the cause of the motor line in the dostructlon
of Sherman avcuuo , porjhnps have a good
reason , Inasmuch as it has boon said that
"man's heart is not remotely connected with
his pockotbook. " Ono member has the con
tract for the carpentering work on the motor's
power house , another the foundation , ono
moro has the stone or brick work , nil , no
doubt , nt very satisfactory prices to both
employer and-employes ( under tno circum
stances ) , while J. J. Brown Is n heavy stock
holder in the motor line ; and has largo prop
erty Interests near , if not within the fair
grounds. Mr. Popploton has extensive nnd
prospective Interests beyond theso. Dee
Smith has property , nnd ho , llko some others
out thcro , would enrich tholr purses nt the
ruination of the values of the property of
these who bulldcd tholr homes and graded
tholr lawns , confident thnt they had a boule
vard , impenetrable nnd away from the objec
tionable features now planned and being so
ruthlessly consummated.
Sherman avenue has been and should re
main a boulevard , upon which the general
public could drive wltnout the dangers Inci
dent to street railways , until ether txwlo-
vards , to say the least , nro provided. With
tbo consummation of Mercer's greednnd the
nvurico of some of the council ,
the only safe and ploosiug drive
way for women nnd children ,
ns well ns these who own * end drive fast
horses , Is threatened. Why ? Is tlioro not n
large sized "colored man In the wood pilol"
Have tho.populace of Omaha to go toCounoll
Bluffs to enjoy a boulevard , since Dr. Mercer
has consolidated his line with the Bluffs
motor ) Is that a part of his dual deal 1. o. ,
to compel Omaha citizens to drive over the
bridge to enjoy a drivel What with Broatch
duplicity , Mercer cunning and Council
Bluffs sagacity ono must needs fcol himself
rather between the "devil nnd the deep
son. "
The Omaha street railway long ago put in
a switch nnd contemplated building on Sher
man avenue , but when paved wcro ashamed
to tear it up , inasmuch us they
felt that , Sherman nvcnuo should bo
reserved ns a driveway , nnd nro yet willlncr
to sign a contract , so I am informed , with the
motor , concurring to never violate this drive
way , I .have taken the pains to note down a
fewremttTks mode by these who own and
drive good horses , some of tlicm who have
families , that enjoy Sherman avenue almost
