Upon his return from further investlga

iicighLorbond yesterday afternoon Datoctivi
Haze was seen by a reporter and asked wha
lib had found.
"I can bo candid with you to iho cxton (
simply of saying , " was the reply , "thut :
found out n number of now points gooi
points but under the circumstances I can
not itivo thorn to you. Were they publisher
it would simply bo showing that much mon
of our hand , nnd that is certainly Impractl-
r/hlo. I can tell you , however , that Mr ,
Kauthcr. who lives adjoining the Pinnci1
lilacc , and who Identified Neal as having been
on the farm on the ild , will accompany mete
to Plnttsmoulli Sunday morning and sen II
lie can Identify the third cuspcct arrested
there as the man whom ho saw at tho- farm
with Ncal. From the description ho is very
sure no Is the man.
"I will also say , " continued Mr. Haze ,
"tlmt nftcr seeing thut farm hand in the cm-
ploy of Schwarz , on the Swift farm , who
hoard the shots about 5 o'clock on thn even
ing of the IM , I am almost con
vinced that these were the shots
which killed the old people. The shots
heard were eight In number. "
Chief Seavoy will probably accompany
Detective Haze and the other gentlemen to
Plattstnouth this morning. Haze returned
from Ins ilrst trip there yesterday morning ,
and said that the suspect there can hardly

The council met in special session last
night to consider tlio Tenth street viaduct
ordinance. The cnmmitteo on viaducts and
railways reported a set of improved plans
for the proposed viaduct and the council
went into committee of the whole to consider -
sider them. Gonor&l Manager Knnball of
the Union Pacific was present and explained
the improvements that had been made in the
Plans. City Engineer Tilison also stated
that ha had examined the now plans and had
found them n decided improvement over the
plans previously presented to the council.
Mr. Kimball explained further that the
Plans for depot had boon greatly improved.
The old shed will bo torn down and an en
tirely new structuio built much 'argor than
the ono originally planned. The train sheds
would be more than than twine as largo as
was originally planned. The companies
were ready to co to work at once upon the
adoption of the ordinance.
* The plans wcro approved by the council
nnd tlio ordinance ordered to its third read
ing. Then iho question was raised as to
whether or not the damages appraised should
bo , tendered boforo' /.ordinance . was
p'assed.Mr. . Wheeler maintained that
this should bo ( lone. City Attorney Pop-
I'letcn held that the tender of damages
was not a condition precedent to the passage
ot the ordinance. The tender could be made
out of the general fund and the fund reim
bursed when the taxes for benefits are col
lected. It had been sugceslcd , ho * aid. that
the railway companies might temporarily
advance the funds for the purchase.
After some discussion the ordinance and
report were recommitted to the committee
on viaducts and railways to confer with the
railway companies on this point and report
on Tuesday night.
The city treasurer reported that there is
now on his books f.'l,01'J.Li ! duo against the
Missouri Paoilie railway company as de
linquent taxes for the years 183T , 1883 and

erable discussion on the method of making
the assessment of railroad property. The
matter was finally referred to the committee
on ilnnnco and a committee consisting of
licchol , Shriver , Morcarty and D II.
Wheeler , appointed as a committee to confer
with the county commissioners on the matter
of making the assessment for 1UUO.

Troops Urdcrrd Out.
WAMHXCITOX , March 15. Adjutant Qon
oral ICelton telegraphed to General Morrlt
at Fort Leuvcnworth to use the troops ll
necessary and with prudence , as heretofore ,
to cnforco the proclamation Issued today by
the president relative to intruders upon the
Cherokee Rtrip lands. This order was sen !
by direction of the secretary of war.

iiooniers mistook the passage of the Okla
homa bill for the act providing for the im
mediate opening of the country to settlement
and each colony of boomers , alarmed lest il
would not bo first on the ground , rushed poll
moll over the line regardless of consequences ,
Some fear is expressed by the cooler heath
; hat the government may deprive them ol
their advantage and drlvo them out to await
the formal opening of the country. Most ol
.lio boomers , however , are settling down on
: helr claims as if assured of their permanent
resideiico there. They believe , now the in
vasion has uecn accomplished , th'at Presi
dent Harrison will allow thorn to remain nnd
lermlt others to take up land whenever they
arrive.
.lust over the line from Guthrie , Okla !
houia , Ponca , a city of ; t,000 inhabitants , baa
sprung uu over night. The gambling fra-
; ernity is there In full force and several dis-
.urbanccs h.ive occurred and many lights
invo taken place because of their presence ,
iut nothing serious bus resulted. Another
) f these mushroom towns appeared at Wil-
ow Surings , just below hero this morning.
Though not as largo as Ponuu , there are
'ullv u thousand people livintr there.
Nyceville also came into .existence within
; he past twenty-four hours. The ciiy coii-
.alns about elKht hundred people , who went
.hero under the leadership of Major Nyce
from CaUlwull. yesterday.
At Outhrio last night a reoortor boarded
he train on which the representatives of the
Cherokee strip cattle company were return-
ng from the Fort Worth cattlemen's con
vention. They were greatly disturbed at
the invasion of their lands , and a meeting
was called in the Pullman smoking room. A
committee was appointed to notify the sec
retary oftho interior of the fucts in the
case , umltoask , , for troops to restore to thorn
the possession of thelrgrazing grounds.
-nuoation that is uppermost , iu-tho
nintls nf the settlers today' Is "What is
Undo Sam going to do ! " Ho has done
lothing yot. No military force is on the
ground and sn far ns known none has been
ordered to proceed there.
The cattlemen are completely routed ,
heir fences cut , grass burned , cattle stam-
> eaod nnd their ranges completely destroyed
or the near future at least. They will be
ompollod to cet their cattle together as well
as possible and to huntalhnr pastures. Prof.
jOppoelc nf the Indian schools telegraphed
or troops to expel the uooiaora from the
tuliiin school lands , 03 many located
hercon. Prairie llres could bo seen all
over the strip I us I , night.
Nearly every quarter section of land for
eighteen miles south of this city is at ores-
ont staked off and many of them occupied by
inatters. 'I ho report that u company of
cavalry would arrive this aftciuoon caused
onio uneasiness , but as the hours
oiled by without the troops put-
inc ia an appearance coniidenco
restored and a feeling of security prevailed
This , however , was short lived , for at 4
o'clock the news that the president had Is
sued a proclamation ordering all settlers ott
ho strip was received. In u few minutes
nrgo numbers of men who had staked claims
and haa returned hero for provisions gath
ered together on the street corners
nnd discussed the situation. Sonio
counseled prompt compliance witli
ho president's order , but' others Insisted
hat it was a good plan to hold their claims
until expelled by the troops and then as soon ,
as tlio soldiers were out of sight to return
md begin farming operations. The advocates
if the latter plan nro evidently in the ma-
ority.flho old soldlor element seems to bo
ho most determined to return their
grasp upon their claims. Should the
cldlors attempt to remove them thcro will bo
10 organized resistance , but believed il will
take an army of a.OOO men to lioep them from
settling back on the strip.
The cattle mon here did not receive the
lows of the president's proclamatlan , ordor-
ng the invading settlers off the strip with
much interest.
1-Vom Ponca , Willow Springs , Nycovlllo
and other sottleinonts m the outlet
comes news of burning prairies. It
Bcems to have boon generally agreed upon
hut the ilrst thing for settlers to do was to
sturt a pralrio tire , nnd much of the strip has
been burned over. TUoao prairie tires served
a double purpose. They drove most of the
cattle before them ntid also destroyed the
odder which thnsa remaining might have
od noon. Therefore the cattlemen are nat
urally depressed over the gloomy pjospccts.
3aiu Howins of the Cherokee Strip
Cattle company today : "J'horo are now ,
or rather wore before the invasion ,
about eighty thousand head of cattle on the
trip , 1 do not bqliovo the most energetic
action on the part of tbo cattlemen ana tha
rovornment can BUVO them from irreparable
o.i9 , If left on the strip thu cattle will
tarve , for there Is nothing for thorn
o cnit thcro and wo cannot ship provender to
horn ; it would bo u losing investment ; so
here wu are , 80,000 bond of cattle gooa for
nothing but hides , clue ana bono dust. "

Piiir\i > Ei.i'ntA , March 15. The court oi
common pleas today refused to grant the in
junction asked by the Philadelphia nalionn
league club to restrain William Haltman
from playing with the Philadelphia players' '
league club. Hallrnan played with the na
tional league club lust year and the latter , in
its petition , claimed that under the "reserve
rule" the club held an option ou his services
for 1800.
In the course of the decision , which is a
lengthy ono , Judge Thayer says that a care
ful reading of paragraph 18 discloses tua
there is nothing whatever in it to bind .1
player to.sign another contract. All that Is
enacted was that clubs * ehould have the
prlvileco of reserving him for another year ,
but fulled to attito on what terms. This
failure renders the contract incomplete nnd
inoperative , and the fault lies with the Phil
ndelphm baseball club. If it were true , ns
claimed by their counsel , that the contracts
binds the defendant to sign a mmilar con
tract each year , then it is apparent that he
must sign it so long ns it may suit his em
ployers , Paragraph 17 of the con
tract states that a club has
the right to discharge u player
ut ten day's notice for any cause , and bv this ,
In conjunction with their reading of para-
craph IS , Ilallmun bus sold himself for life
to them ut , a salary .of 31,400 a year. Ho has
no further holu on them than ten days and
is at their mercy. It is perfectly apparent
that such a contract is so unfairnnd lacking
in mutuality that no court of equity would
bind itself to its enforcement.

General Kaum , the commissioner of pen
slons , hat undertaken the greatest ofllcia
tasic over begun by any man that has occu
pled his position. Ho proposes to udjudicnt
every pension claim pending within the nox
eight months , do 1ms notified the soimt
committee on pensions to this effect. Short ) ;
after General Kaum entered the pension of
lice ho began n complete overhauling of tli
routine operations , and a few months agi
perfected a thorough organization. He thoi
determined to rigidly cnforco the rule of tin
ofiico which prohibits the making of n casi
special unless an affidavit of a reputable citl
zen is produced showing that the nppllcun
Is cither npaupor and maintained by publd
or prlvato chantynor is in n critical physica
condition. This gave him n largo amount o
time from his cloncal forco- , which has beoi
occupied in answering letters relating
ing to making cases special. Today members
bors of congress began to receive conies o
n circular letter in nnswor to their request !
to have the status of pension cases given foi
tno information of claimants. It has boor
customary for almost every person who hai
a pension claim pending to write to his 01
her representative iu congress quite fro
qucntly requesting congressional influence
for the purpose of ascertaining the stntu :
of pension claims. This correspondence hat
become very largo at the pension ofllce ,
General Kaum says that during tlio wool *
ending March 1 there were received 4.USC
culls of this character from claimants
through their members of congress , and at
torneys during the same period asked fet
the status of 20.COS , a total of 2 , " > , C04 calls fet
the status of claims in ono week. Commis
sioner Raum says that to answer the calls
made by members of corigrcss nlouo
would require the entire tluio of
over ono hundred examiners and to
answer the requests relating to calls
from congressmen and attorneys would take
the time of over flvo hundred men. Ho an
nounces that in thu future he will refuse to
answer the requests of either claimants , at -
tornoys or members of cougress. Ho thinks
that it is time thrown away to answer ' 'these
letters because the claimants asking for the
information wlllfotJJrnado aware of any testi
mony that may bo needed to make his claim
perfect at the tiniOf it is taken up for adjudi
cation and that then plenty of time to fur
nish the nccessar prools will bo given.

1. That the declaration has beau made in

and the fact usto , thu.incurreacoof the disability

2. That the proof show * that the disaoility
named in the declaration was incurred In tno
service and in thu line ol duty.
! l. That the proof connects the present dis
ability for which the pension is claimed with
wound or disease incurred in the service ami
establishes the fact ot disability.
1. That tbo claimant has , with the au
thority of the bureau of pensions , han u
regular medical examination in respect to
the disability described and claimed in the
declaration.
5 That in thq opinion of the claimant the
claim is fully made out nnd completed.
In the claims of widows it must ba alleged
nnd proof tnudo showing that the soldier
died of an Injury or disease contracted in
the service and that claimant is the solder's !
widow.
-In the case of dependent relatives it must
be stated that the proper proof of depend
ence has been fllod-.iti the claim and that the
soldier left no widow or minor children. If
thn application is made by the attorney of
record , in addition to other Rtatemonts re
quired , ho shall certify than after 11 curctnl
investigation of thecnsifho is of the opin
ion that the case is completed. Claims
placed upon thodist of completed Hies In iho
regular order will ho considered in tno order
of the date. This order does not apply to
adjudicated cases. When a claimant or his
attorney wl'l certify i i accordance with the
requirements ubovo ordered that n claim is
complete it will secure Ita consideration
within n few days. All chums in which the
call for facts lias been complied with will bo
very soon reached for settlement. To act
promptly upon all completed cases requires
that no unnecessary > \ork bo done. The
bureau l now adjudicating conbldorably
more than fifteen thousand cases u month
froiiKho ' 'completed tiles" ami that number
will bo largely increased , , the commissioner
says by the increase of the thirty additional
medical examining surgeons which congress
lias just authorized. Calls are now doing
made monthly in 50,000 cases for the fucts to
complete them. At this rate complete cases
wilt bo mudo In ovary original case now
pending m the bureau within the
next throe months. The calls for
evidence now being made uro In
the order in which the claims were
tiled In the bureau General Kaum nivs ; that
ho regards this as ; falr to every claimant ,
and that lie docs not think it should , bu dis
turbed , because ot any extraordinary cases ;
thut ho Is very anxious to do everything ho
can to hasten the Bottlemont ot every pen
sion claim pending In the bureau atid feels
nuro that mombora of congress and the great
body of claimants are not nosirous of impos
ing work upou.yjijDillco . which will actually
Interfere with\jnf \ business of settlement.
Ho asks that the pWho are aware of nny evidence
donco wanting Intension claims shah try to
produce it nnd sunn it forward and says tnat
in any event claims will soon bo reached
cither for settlonient or for the tlnal call for
the c.videnco to Icompletu tno caso.
The domocraUu press uiul jrallticians
throughout tl& > v country have been
proclaiming tha { . the work of the
pension bureau \r not now going forward
with greater rapidity than under their ad
ministration , but tt will bo seen that General
K.iuni has tmiilnrwonderful stride * In hU
work ; that he ivm exceed the expectation *
and iho prouii as fit the most earnest advo
cates of pension chums. This announcement
will not only bu au.uurccablo surprise to the
thousands who huve pension claims pending ,
but to every man in congress who has boon
doing so much work to cxpodlto the wishes
of his constituents. Under the new order of
things at tbo pension onico it is uselnss for
pension claimants to write to their friends
in congress rospuctiag inlluonco to secure
any kind of action upon their claims pending
before the bureau , ll will bo soon that thu
entire pension business li to bo settled with
in a fsw months and that the commission
has established u sot of rules which will
operate the greatest justice to everyone and
no amount ot political luttuunco will Induce

CHICAGO , March 15. 1 Special Telegram to
TUB llr.n.1 The irrepressible conflict between -
twoen the lake lines nnd the mil
lines It almost . ready to nuatn begin
Its summer demoralisation , The eastbound -
bound shipments for the week
will show n largo falling off in
grain traffic , the reason being that It is
stored In Chicago elevators awaiting the
opening of navigation. In splto of numerous
conferences between the rail and- lake lines
no satisfactory disposition has bcou made of
the differential question , and the season
bids fair to open with n renewal
of tbo old policy of the boat lines to cut
rates to any llguro ncposnary to secure u
Ipad. The Lake Superior Transit company
bus hitherto been ti largo factor In maintain
ing nt least nsomblanco of steady rates , but
that organisation has gone to pieces nnd the
lines composing it the Pennsylvania , the
Now York Central and Eric have not
agreed on lake rates. Last year tlio boat
lines averaged sixty to seventy hours
between Chicago nnd Buffalo faster
than the average time by rail ,
which even now averages over seventy
hours. In addition the bouts hnvis year by
year taken DOW kinds of freight unit now
they nro competitors with the rail lines oh
all kinds except express freight. During tlio
winter the Northern Pacillc has secured con
trol of the American Steam llargo company.
The Grout Northern controls tlio Northern
steamship company , and between the two the
Clucago-St. Paul lines will lese n
largo share of their through business.
The competition has como to bo so well un
derstood , however , that usido from the loss
of trafllo there will probably bo no disturb
ance among the rail lines. Last season's
competition discloses only the reduction in
the corn rate , which still prevails. The
understood plan Is that the Chicago lines
iyUl stick to their tariff rates In order to
niulntuln tboir locals and simply totaice their
through freight which can not go by boat.

Knllcd to Kind n Trust.
DBS MOIXES , Ia. , March -Special Tojo-
gram to Tin : UEK. ] Tlio joint legislative
committee that had been appointed to find
out whether there were any oppressive trusts
in Iowa reported today. It spent live days
in investigation and conlliicd its in
quiries to the school bookquestion. .
It was the original Intention to have
the committeeinaulro into all kinds of trusts ,
but ns so little time was Riven them they
looked lor nothing but a school book trust.
They examined a number of witnesses , in
cluding some ngcnu of publishing houses ,
but failed to Ilnd a trust.
Thov report that there is no
evidence that the publishing houses
have combined to form n trust or to control
or stifle competition in this state , and they
submit that as a 11 mil report. Tlio result of
this investigation wilt probably lessson in u
largo decree tha clamor for state publication
af text books , since the legislators themselves -
solves Ilnd that there is nothunr being done
lo prevent natural campetition amoni ; school
