THE call issued by Chairman Walker
for a mooting of the Jnter-stato Com *
morco IKullway association nexl
wool ; is significant of trouble ahead.
Wo pointed out some days ago that tha
railroad situation had a critical aspect ,
and the development of a serious phasa
has not come sooner than was expected ,
The uncmostionablo fact is that there h
a great deal of discontent with the ex
isting conditions , nnd those roads whlcli
feel that they are not getting a f air sho\v
under the prevailing arrangements are
determined to find a way to place
themselves in a more favorable po
sition. It has taken a great effort to
curb the tendency of the managers o !
such roads to proceed to radical meas
ures , and every day weakens tbo force
of such effort For this situation of af
fairs tbo Chicago & Alton Is very
largely , if not wholly , responsible. Thai
company uppoara disposed to aggravate
tbo difficulties and increase the com
plications regardless of consequences.
As its policy and conduct are no longot
subject to the jurisdiction of the rail
way association , it Is only a Ques
tion of tllno when otber roads will with
draw and take tholr chances in u rate
war.
The cnblo account pt Ilia anpoyanco
to which Senator nnd Mrs. Efhorrnqn
were subjected by tbo inspection of
their baggage to London is both amus
ing nnd suggestive. It la easy tq undgr-
Btflml tbat tbo distinguished 89nntor
would regard the proceeding us some
thing of an indignity , nft.er having ap
prised the oflloiala of his lojontlty and
assured them that the bnRBaff ° co"
tallied nothing dutiable. Moreover ,
this bnggago had pas&od without DIO-
Icstation through several countries
in which ountoms officials are
proverbially vigilant nnd cus
toms rules notably rigid. Bu , his
indignant reflections must have been
tempered with the thought that in hla
own country bo and everybody else who
enters it , bo ho prlnco or peasant , sopa-
tor or scullion , must bo subjected to a
like annoyance } f tlio customs ofllclals do
their duty. One can easily fancy tbo
senator posing ) n a dlgnlllod attitude
and with frowning mien viewing the
.progress of the search by alioo hands
through f.ho linen atd ) hosiery , tbo lace
and ribbons , and all the variety of arti
cles that go to tbo making of a lady's
wardrobe , and it will bo strange if the
cartoonists do not find in this incident
of the senator's foreign tour material for
a striking picture. Its amusing side is
certainly obvious enough.
The suggestive feature of the Inci
dent is not so much in the fact that it
occurred in the homo of free trade OH in
the circumstance that the system of
close ana careful inspection is ut least
measurably due to an unfortunate habit
of American citizens traveling in Eu
rope. Apcording to Mr. Chauncoy
Dopgw , who in this matter must bo
supposed to have spoken seriously ,
Americans who visit the continent
often maka a ppiqt of purchasing
largo quantities of old. silver
and try to smuggle it. The discovery
of this American penchant resulted in
tin order , now tor several years In force ,
requiring that all baggage from tbo
continent shall be searched , special at
tention being [ jivon , it is naturally pre
sumed , to the baggage of Americans.
England levies a duty of one shilling
and six pence pec ounce on silver plate
manufactured outside of the United
Kingdom , thus affording a rather liberal
measure of protection to her manufac
turers of silver plute , nnd it is because
of theuttempts of his follow-countrymon
to evade this protective feature of
England's fiscal policy tbat Senator
Sherman's luggage was thoroughly
overhauled. The revelation that
American travelers in Europe have
been guilty of smuggling is not in
itself a pleasant ono , but in any event
the Ohio senator could not consistently
object to a system 'abroad of which he
fully approves at homo. There Is this
to bo said , however , in disapproval of a
part of tbo proceeding , namely , thalj
there was no excuse for destroying
property. Tbo customs officials should
at least have bad the courtesy , after
verifying the statement of Senator Sher
man tha his baggage contained nothing
dutiable , to roatoro everything as
nearly as possible to the condition in
which they found it. Manifestly these
English customs ofllcials need to bo in
structed it ) what is just and respectful
to the traveler whoso possessions fall
under their inspection , and in this re-
speot , doubtless , the average American
official in like service would afford them
a good example. Senator Sherman's
reported disgust at , this incident of
bis travels bos doubtless by this
time worn away under the soft
ening influence of tbe distin
guished consideration he is re
ceiving on all han.ds , iqd hla numerous
friends and admirers will learn with
pleasure that ha is showing an un
wonted geniality of manner , The truth ,
is that the senator is a far more genial
man than bo is gonorallv credited with
being. A month hence bo will return
and reappear in tbo political arena to
do aggressive and valuable work for tbo
republican cause in Ohio ,
WYOMWQ'3 CONVENTION.
A convention to fraino a state consti
tution for Wyoming will moot at Cheyenne -
onno on tbo first Monday in September.
At tbo election of last year for delegate
in congress tbe vote in Wyoming was
in round figures eighteen thousand ,
which , by tbo ordinary rule of computa
tion , gave tbo territory a population at
that time of ninety thousand. The num
ber nt present is doubtless not loss than
ono hundred thousand , The territory
contains an area ot about nlnoty-
eight thousand square miles , about
equal to that of New York , Obio ,
Now Jersey and Dolowaro com
bined. Tbo resources uro great
(
And very diversified , Tbe grazing field *
are said to be unsurpassed on the conti
nent. Tliero is an abundant supply of
timber. The coul area of the territory
covers moro tban nineteen million
acres. It la behoved that tbo oil fields
are not equalled elsewhere in the coun
try. Tha iron deposit is described in a
report of tbo senate committee on terri
tories as truly wonderful. There are
eoda deposits covering hundreds ot
acres , and said to bo the most
extensive discovered on the con
tinent. Gold , silver and copper
mines are found in the territory. Mar
ble , granite and sandstone of excellent
qualities for building purposes are
abundant. In a word , so far us natural
resources are concerned , Wyoming is
most richly supplied , and with the
moans of development provided her
growth.n material prosperity and in
population could not fall to bo rapid.
For tbo purpose of agricultural devel
opment Wyoming will require an extensive -
tensive system of Irrigation , but this
will not ho so difficult to provide as'in
some other arid sections. It is esti
mated that from tan to twelve
million acres of the arid lands of the
territory may bo reclaimed with tha
water found in the streams in the terri
tory. The soil is fertile , and wherever
irrigated becomes exceptionally pro
ductive. There is no doubt that agri
culture can be successfully prosecuted
with an adequate system of Irrigation ,
but the wealth ot the territory will bo
derived from its great mineral re
sources , Thu people of Wyoming are
anxious for statehood , and they
will urge tholr claim to con
sideration upon the next congress
wltb vigor. They nront n
disadvantage Jn J.hp a r.pt pqpgla.-
, ion. Tlio ratio of representation un
der the next census } a ' oxpsctQd lQ bo
two hundred thpusand'and. It } n hardly
to bo expected that under tbo most favorable -
vorablo conditions Wyoming wll ( have
the p9pulation required for a i-epro-
sontntlvo in congress during the life
time ot the flfty-firat congress. Pro
visions may , however , bo made by that
cpngrpss nn very Hkojy will bo , for
the admission of tbo territory when | t
has the required population , which it
may have within the next throe or four
years. In point ot size Wyoming will
bo the eighth state in the union , and in
respect of resources she will rank high
In the list. Her ouorgqtlq people will
spare no effort to attain the boon of
statehood.
AS TO fniS VtflOff DKl'DT.
If the proposition to construct a union
depot nt a cost ot ever four hundred
thousand , conditioned upon the city
building a two hundred thousand dollar
viaduct ever the tracks on Tont/h street ,
hnd been nindo ten years ngo , or oven
five years ago , It would have carried by
acclamation. To-dny there is a very
general aversion to donating any bonus
to tbo railroad companies for giving
this city metropolitan Jonot accommo
dations.
The prevailing BOutimoat is that
Omaha is largo enough to command
proper railway transfer nnd depot facili
ties without subsidizing tbo railroads.
On sober reflection , however , wo be
lieve tbe people who are most interested
in Omaha's future growth will roach
the conclusion that ono hundred and
fifty thousand dollars is , after nil , a tri
fling bonus , if wo can do away forever
with the annoying and damaging embargo
barge that has hold back Omuha for
twenty years , nnd make the going in
and out of this city safe and convenient.
Tbo proposition as submitted Is still
crude and cannot carry unless it is
coupled with gunrantys tbat will assure
beyond a doubt the joint occupancy of
the depot by tbe Iowa roads ,
The basis of this guaranty
is outlined in the letter of tbo president
of the Milwaukee & St. Pnul railroad.
There must bo definite stipulations be
tween the city nnd the Union Pacific
that the bonds asked for will bo with
hold until tbo Iowa roads hnvo accepted
the conditions for joint occupancy of
the depot. Aii indemnity bond signed
by the depot company and responsible
backers must bo placed in tbo hands of
the mayor before ho signs a quit claim
to tbo depot grounds.
NEBRASKA CITV > S COMPLAINT
The Nebraska City News charges the
Omaha dailies with treachery and con
spiracy in their unxioty to injure Ne
braska City and its , hog packing inter
est. According to our amiable con
temporary down the river , tbo Omaha
papers have an agreement to suppress
from tbo Associated press reports any
reference to Nebraska City's packing
house records.
The truth of the matter is that the
Associated press does not send to Omaha
or any other town the weekly re
ports of pork packing that are made
up for the Cincinnati Price Current.
These reports are wired from Cincin
nati exclusively to THE BEE for this
section , and like tbo bulk of the so-
called special dispatches that appear in
other Omaha dailies , are stolen bodily
from the telegraphic columns of THE
BEE.
BEE.Under
Under the circumstances it is absurd
to talk about a conspiracy or compact
to injure Nebraska City , if anybody
is to blame for omitting the Nebraska
City figures from his telegrams to THB
BEE it is the reporter in Cincinnati ,
Wo pay for all these dispatches and
certainly would have no design 1 sup
pressing news wo pay for. The proof
of this is that THE BEE has published
tbo Nebraska pity packing record for
last week- Previous to that Nebraska
City's quotation had boon included
under the general heading of "all
others , " which raounsall packing points
that are not enumerated specifically.
Without consulting any of the parties
to the alleged conspiracy we fool quite
sure tbat tbe Omaha dailies will quote
the figures for Nebraska City whenever
they nro wired-to TUB BEE. The scis
sors conspirator does not discriminate ,
THE success of the Sioux commission
in its negotiations for tbo opening o |
eleven millions ot virgin soil can not
fail to be of inostimablo'bonefit to Ne
braska. There will bo added to the
area of the state an irregular strip just
north of tbe Niobrara and Kbya Paba
rivers comprising five hundred thous
and acres of good farming and stonk
raising land within the counties ol
Holt , Knox and Koya Pull a. The open
ing to settlement , however , of tbq
great reserve in Dakota is of prime im
portance. Within a very few years
the vast tract will ba peopled with a
farming population and dotted with
thriving towns which will bo largely
dependent upon tbo cities of Nobraski
for markets in tbo interchange of com
modities , Tbo people of. Niobrara
bavo therefore good reasons to fool
jubilant ever the prospects before
thorn , OTho situation of tbat city at the
juncture of tbo Niobrara with the Mis
souri rivers , togottior with its railroad
connection through Dakota , makes it a1
oncn the gateway into the now lands ,
Tbo long looked for extension of tha
Fremont , Klkhorn & Missouri Valley
railroad from Verdigris into that city
a distance of loss than twonty-fivo miles
under the circumstances can not bo de
layed much longer. This would place
Omaha in a direct line with Southern
Dakota and the Sioux reservation , and
give the merchants of this city the key
to the trade of tbo northwest.
DEMOCRATIC papers are trying tc

other object than to allow tbo captured

out of the courts. " Nothing , however
could bo farther from the truth. Th <

The state 1 > oanl of transportation mot to
day us per adjournment , to complete tlio
work of the last regular mooting. It > vlll bo
remembered tUnt It was practically decided
then tnnt "switching charges' ' should bo
qbollshed , and n motion , was made to that
effect. The opinion , however , prevailed
that the rotuls had abolUhod them of tholr
own nccord , and that Injustice might not bo
done the board of secretaries was Instructed
to visit Omaha and Investigate the matter ,
It scorns that the secretaries found that tbo
Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha
railroad company taxed shippers 31,50 per
car for n short transfer of stock to the yards ,
mid after a very pleasant discus
sion tbo board decided by a unani
mous vote , the necessary motion hav
ing been made , that such charges
should bo lopped off , and the order was made
for service upon the road.
The board then took up the petition of the
Hurhngton asking for a rehearing on tlio
"crossing" question , decided In the report of
Secretary Gllltlson , on the complaint of Lnn >
castor county against the Burlington , pray
ing for a crossing on A street. On motion of
n member of the board It was decided that
the question should be decided at n special
meeting. It seemed to ba the fooling Unit a
day for consideration was necpsinry. At
torney General Lcoso took a decided stand
against any further postponement. Other
members , among the number Auditor Uon-
ton and Commissioner Steen , thought a
spirit of fairness demanded that lutolligenco
should mark every vote , nnd to give
Justice to ono and all , with prejudice for
none , that the attorney * should bo
heard nnd the question decided then
whether or not n rehearing should bo granted ,
Tbo attorney-general took the position that
further postponement was simply time lost ;
that the matter , in any event , would go to
the supreme court , and that It ought to go
there at the earliest posslulo day for what
ever relief tliero might bo for tlio peo-
pic. lionton and Laws could sco no chunco
for delay , as the motion did not contemplate
a rehearing , and Saturday , Aueust 17 , was
fixed upon as tbo day to hear what the Bur
lington nttorno.vs had to say.

The Lena IUar h Case.

titled the State of Nebraska ex rel Lena
Marsh v William Coburn , sheriff of Douglas
county , docketed for trial before the supreme
court at the September term , filed bis an
swers to the rolator's petition to-day. It is
doubtless still in mind that Lwia Marsh and
William Ellersick were Jointly arraigned for
the murder of an unnamed female child in
the city of Omaha , by administering to It a
dose of carbolic acid , and that at their pre
liminary hearing before a magistrate of com.
petont jurisdiction Ellerslck was discharged ,
while Lena was hold to a higher court to answer
swor to tbo charge and committed to thq

nary bearing the "indigent pica" was en
tered by Lena , and the court upon its own ,
motion , and from a knowledge of the facts as
shown upon hearing , theu nnd there ap
pointed "Wlnfield S. Strawu to appear for and
defend her against the charge preferred. The
court , moreover , made tbo record that no
other attorney or attorneys should bo per

Mo. , August 8. [ Special Tele
gram to T K BRK.1 The escapade * of Maud
Abbott , who attempted sulokle n few weeks
ngo because her parent * instated upon her
marrying a man of their selection , have
been varied. As If Maud had succeeded
in demonstrating yesterday that sue wat so
much in love with her Hangar fmcln&tor ,
Sprague , that aim could not llvo wltho ut
him , she started in again in the early hours
this mornlnir to furtbor domonitrato this
fact. The Bucksport train left that point
for Bangor nt 0 o'clock , ana bntoro It started
the men on board wcro surprised to see a
girl fairly llyliiK down the street , bare
headed nnd with her hair sailing straight
out on the breeze. Her drosi was covered
with mud , nnd she appeared to bo wildly ex
cited. It was Maud Abbott , and she had
run two tulles from her homo in Yeronn ,
having escaped from her people , by
whom she was carried homo yesterday.
She ran dlrootly for tbo train , and nftar re
marking to the llroman Unit she Intended to
ride to Bangor with thorn , sbo Jumped upon
the cow-catcher of the accommodation. She
meant to rldo thus to Bangnr. Tlio locamo-
tivo bad already commenced moving when
tbo trainmen saw Mr. Abbott himself com
ing UD In hot pursuit crying "Stop that train
and give mo my daughter. " Tbn old mnu
had run the whole distance nnd was breath
less and only about half dressed. The girl
( Uncovered her father about this time.
Quickly Jumping from the engine she started
for tbo head of the wharf , but her father
caught her In tlmo to save her from a second
attempt at suicide. As the train had loft she
permitted herself to bo conducted back to a
team which was In waiting to carry her
homo again. When asked to tret In she
Biild laughingly to the driven "No. If you
get out I will drive the horse myself. "
Tbo opinion of many in Buoksport is that
tbo girl Is realty inso.no. Sprague , upon
bearing of the effnlr in Buoksport , hired a
fast horse and alerted for that place.
