Mr. William B. Curtis , who h is charge of
llio excursion to bo glvon to thu foreign dulo-
gates to the International American con
gress , told Tin : Ben correspondent to-day
that unless the people of U.nnli.i showed
some interest In * the proposed visit of the
excursion to that place It would In omitted
from the programme and some other city in
the west substituted. The time for the ex
cursion was necessarily limited , and there
are many places clamoring for a visit
Omahii was placed upon the list , without any
instruction from the business men of that
city , for it was supposed that they would bo
glad to receive and ontoitaln the dis
tinguished party. The mayor of Omaha nnd
Senators Manderson and Paddock nnd
Congiossman Council were notified of the
intention to go tliero and wcro asked to
make arinngcmcnts for the ptopur icccption
of the party. Both senators have neisnowl-
edged the iccolpt of the nolillcntion nnd h ivo
reported that the commeiciul organizations
of Omaha had been informed of the plans ,
but nothing since has been heard fiom
Omaha , and unless some lung is done an
other citv will bo substituted. Kansas City
ignoicd the proposition of a visit from the
international congress and she was taken
out of the route of thu excursion.

Senator Ptiddock In conversation with Tin :
Ui'.i : correspondent to dav said : "I have seen
no indication of a chnngo in the mtcntlo i of
the president indicated to ma when I 'was
hero some weeks IMJO to .xpnolnt Judge QrotI
commissioner of the general hrid office. I
think the appointment will bo made very
BOOH. "
The senator upon being asked whom ho
thought would succeed Mr. Tanner as'uom
mlssloncrof pensions , icpllcd : "I believe
that it will Hmilly bo accepted by Major
Warner , but w hoover may rccolvo the ap
pointment theio will bo no stop backward as
to the liberal policy icspecting the pension
lights of ex-soldiers by this administration.
The president and Secretary Noble aio In
favor of the most llbinnl legislation possible
and will bo sure to glvo the soldier thu ben
efit of every doubt under thu picsont lawn in
considering his claim tor pension relief. I
think the Tanner episode foi many reasons
vciy much to bo deplored , but In the end
huuullcial results will follow to iho ex-sol
diers of the late war from the tuinsfci of Mr.
Tannrr to another Hold of duty. Whether
deservedly EO or not. Air , 1'nnnoi had lost
thoconlldcncfiof the conservative1 element of
the country In the republican paity itself -.s
well as outside of it , and lor that reason not
only ho himself but his buioau nnd oven iho
pension clah'innts would have been under
constant suspicion und subject to hostile crit
iclsms which would have obstructed the pas.
sngo of the pensions appropriation bill and
prevented moro liberal pension legis
lation. If a man of exceptional
discretion aud prudence of speech , like
Major Wnrnor , Is placed .it thu head of that
bureau ho will bo uhlo to accomplish much
uroutur results In the way of puusion relief
than would Imvo liecn possible under the ad
ministration of Mr. Tanner , considering tvll
the complications.
"While Mr. Tanner Is a good , loyal , patri
otic and tiblo man ho has not been strong In
self containment and dlborent utterances on
nil occasions , and HO his usefulness had been
impaired , 1 hope Vo bo a member of the
bcniito committee on pensions. 1 know the
nontlmcnt of the leptibhcin mcmhnrs of
thnt commlttuu , and I am sure they have the
fullest contidunco that the president will
spiuo no clTort to hull ) imiko the life of the
ox-union soldier less hard , so fur ns thU can
bo done through pension legislation. "

MANCIIKSTIIH , Sopt. 15. | N. Y. Herald
Cable Special to TUB BEE. ] 'Iho master
nnd oporntlva cotton spinners Imvo decided
to endeavor to break down the cotton ring In
Ijivorpool by working half tltno during tills
month. Jntncs Mnwdsloy , general secretary
of the operatives , wns willing totalic. The
plans nnd put poses of the oporntlvca In this
matter nro in tmrmonv with the masters , and
liny question of n Btrlko is not thought of.
Muwdsloy wni found nt the association's
ofllees nnd nt oneo entered into the great
subject.
"You ask mo wlmt about this cotton cor
ner. Well , wo us opcrntlvos uro acting in
harmony with the musters , and wo hope to
break down the monopoly. "
"But how , " the reporter asked , "does the
coiner alTect youl It is the masters who
have to pay the demanded price. "
"An enhanced urlco is demanded from the
spinner , but that Is not all ; ho cannot afford
to pay it nnd HO prefers- stop his mill.
You must uudcrstnnd that spinners , with
very few exceptions , buy their cotton o.xch
week ns they dispose of their yarn. At
the commencement of the season there
is a certain quantity of Ameri
can cotton put on the market nnd
durine the month of September , \\hichls
the termination of one season and the com
mencement of another , there is us u natural
consequence the Icnst cotton in the muket.
Now is the tlino that the ring tries to make
a big ui oilt by becoming holders of nil the
cotton remaining unsold , so that the spinner
who wants to kccphls mill on must buy from
the ring or close his place. "
"Have you been troubled with these rings
piovloualy i"
"Oh , jes , the temptation to make n lot of
money at ono fell swoop is so great that
many men have tried to corner the business.
It will bo within the recollection of tno gon-
crul public that Morns Hanger failed In his
purpose to carry on u corner in the cotton
trade successfully nnd failed for an enormous
amount. Then there was an American spec
ulator who also failed und the trade nro de
termined to break down the picsent , corner ,
which is managed by n Dutcn Jew in Liver
pool , with half a dozen assistants. "
"What capital has ho pot ! "
"Well , ho has bought IGO.OOObales of cotton ,
which will cost him - 1,500,000. Now if ho
buys at 78 nntl by n voluntary lockout wo
compel him In sell ntOS to get rid of his stock
before the now cotton comes in , ho will lose
'iOO,000. "
"Aro corners always centered In Liver
pool ! "
"No , previously corners have boon worked
by syndicates in New York aud Liverpool ,
but as far as I can gather at the present
time , the tioubla is centered in Liverpool ,
and Americans have no hund in it. "
"Has not some course of action been de
cided upon for another season i"
"No , though wo pioposo to the masters
that instead of working full time until the
tail end of the season and putting themselves
at the mercy of the corner , it would bo
better to make the short time
gradual , which would leave more rnw
material on the mirket anil theio would bo
less chance of any corner belnir established.
Wo are quite willing to work half time dur
ing September , either three days a week for
tno month or a total stoppaso of a fortnight ,
nnd if the corner is not brolccn the m-istets
nro considering whether another fortnight's
rest should not bo given in October. "
"But don't ' operatives object to short
linioJ"
"No , you see they got from 15 shillings to
JC1 per week when they are not working and
they arc generally rather glad of a holiday. "
"What area does your association cover ? "
"Practically the whole cotton trade , in
cluding Lancashire and the border counties ,
which covers Derbyshire , Chesshiro and
Yorkshire. There nro a few outside mills
in Glasgow , Hull and Bristol , but really
our association covers the whole of the
trades and any action on our part would
govern the trade and effect 10.000 men. "
"When do you decide about the short
time in October ! "
" 1 hat Is left to the masters. If they get
a two-thirds majority of the sbiunors in
favor of another fortnight's stoppage the
operatives' association will enforce it , and if
there nro any mills who object to slon after
the master's ussoculion have couio to a de
cision w.o shall withdraw our men for
the icquirod timo. Also if there
are any mills who have not worked the half
time during September wo .shall compel them
to make up the leisure time in October so
that nil masters will bo on an equality. It
has only been by united action in the pist
that corners Imvo been broken and they wit
be broken down again.
"Aio not these opoiatlons rather costly to
the operatives association I"
"Yes , they are. A fortnight's Idleness in
September will coat us 21,000 , , and if wo
Imvo to stop men another fortnight In Oc
tober , it will bo nearly 50,000 , but it is to bo
hoped that the spinners will work together
within another season und pro"ont the possi
bility of a corner. "

CMICMOO , Sept. Ifi [ Spoolal Tolunrnm t
Tin : lii'.i : , ] Not for years has thoroticon such
a panto as was witnessed during the Uro In
the K\iiosltion building last evening. ' Just
after the first shout was raised nnd the
Humes shot up toward the ceiling a crowd ot
men , women and children lushed fiom the
end of the building , avoiding the mlddlo
door , which was invitingly onon , and
making for the point , fuithest from
the catastrophy. At that moment
the folly of an not by the mmmgomcnt of the
exposition bccimo apparent. To savothoox-
ponse of doorhoupors the m lungers have
been accustomed to eloio the big north door
lit 10 o'clock. The north und of the building
held a gioat crowd which nt the llrst warn
ing made for the nearest exit the north
door. A thousand men nnd women \\oio
driven at It like a huge battering ram by the
mad Impulse of flight , but though the thick
door creaked beneath the force of the blow
it did not give an men and the
people in the north end flnding
this hope gene swung toward the south nnd
bore foi the middle duor. They had not cot
half way before they met the rush from the
south and then ciiino the teriois of the
panic.
i'no force of the collision aont the fiout
rank of both sides to their knees. Men and
women went down nnd were mercilessly
tramplcil upon. Cries of pun could bo
hcaiu on every hand , It seemed ns though
thotemust surely bo a tremendous loss of
life. The Itrst icllot was not much of a 10-
hof after all , but It did its work Some mad
man snnshod a window on the west side of
the building nnd diagged his body , cut
and bleeding , through the shattered
glass of the window Everybody
near him was sei/od by Iho same impulse at
the same time and in a II ish the clojod windows
dews bad been balteiod und men were leap
ing Ihiough 01 almost hurling their wives
througli to the street. A stout woman became -
came lodged in one of the windows and It ro

lusty hnuling fiom without to save her. She

Hundreds of other \\omiin whoso experi
ences were milder than hers also fainted.
Scores wont Homo with gushed oneoks nnd
hands nnu neatly everybody lost something
of value in the press. '
Eftloicnt toliof snon cnnio In the person of
police Lieutenant Hess , who fought his way
to the olllce , secured the ko to the north
door and started back. When ho reached
the machinery o\hlhits ho struck the ciowd
at its bigcost and llcicest. There was no
way out of it. 'Iho lieutenant drew his club
nnd smashing away right and left at the
shoulders of the crowd , ho forced a path for
himself to the door nna inscitcd the key aud
gave it a quick turn.
That ended Lieutenant Hoss' usefulness.
With a yell the crowd surged tiironuh and
the " 50 ponml lieutenant was incited up and
suept through the outlet like n chio on a
rapids. Thoofllcoi were cool-headed like
their lieutenant nnd they solzcd their Hist . .1
opportunity to do set vice. Forming n line
at the south end of the crowd , they forced
the people through the door , and in
tin eo minutes after the key had been
turned the panic was over. Nobody bad
been killed.
A la nro crowd of rough looking clmi actors
rushed to the building as snnn as the alarm
of tiio was tutncd in and , although the
notice endeavored to look out for such , many
pockets were picked , nnd it is expected that
when cxhihilois como tn look over the stocks
to morrow many valuable articles will be
missed.
