OXNA Itll'S DESIIiES.
II. T. Oxnard of Grand Island , the beet
sugar manufacturer , Is hero again and will
insist upon being given n hearing by the sen
ate committee on finance before the tariff bill
Is completed. Ho Is willing to accept a cut
of from 25 to 80 per cent upon the present
sugar duty , but he does not want n bounty
given to sugar manufacturers , and says
he cannot stand a cut of even one-half of the
present duty. He would like to see machin
ery for the manufacture of sugar from bccls
admitted free of duty and a bounty of say 1
cent n pound given to farmers who produce
beet sugar on what will bo equivalent lo 1
cent a pound on the sugar to those who pro
duce sugar boots.
Ho asks no bounty for thO manufacturer.
Ho will advocate tbo adoption of the Man-
dcrson and Paddock bills admitting machin
ery free of duly and giving u bounty upon
sugar beets.
Ho brings with him a lot of samples to il-
luslralc the richness of Nebrcska sugar beets
mid to demonstrate their successful produc
tion and to Illustrate the manner in which ho
Intend ! ) to manufacture sugar from beets in
that country.
CENSUS QUESTIONS.
There would be no objection on the part of
anybody to answering the questions of the
census enumerators If all could see thu man
ner in which llicir answers will bo recorded.
The principal objection to giving informn *
tion concerning diseases , indebtedness and
that sort oC thing is the supposition that
these fuels will become n mailer of perma
nent record , which is not true. The census
office takes no note of Individuals. They
simply.record fuels. The mime ofa person
is of no value lo them , but the fact that ho
has a chronic or nn Incurable disease , the re
sult of climuljc conditions or occupation , Is n
mailer of general Interest. The names are
not recorded , but only the results of the In
quiry , and those not In writing or printing ,
but by a series of holes punched in a piece of
cardboard , This new method of enumeration
is very remark. blo and curious and to the
unlnltfalcd Ihcse cards mean nothing what-
cvor , but a man who Is familiar with the key
can pick up cno of thcso cards and can toil
from the round holes punched therein what
ward the i > crson lived In , whether ho was
white or colored , married or single , where ho
was. bom and \vlien , the nativity of his
mother anil-father , their occupations and the
cause of their deaths and whether ho is af
fected with nnjcdiscaso and if so what. The
position of the hole punched in thu curd gives
it its meaning.

NOT A I'EH&ONAI. MATTEII.
The trouble in the senate commltteo on
finance Is not personal , but political. Messrs.
Sherman mid Merrill did not vote against
the reference of the tariff bill to the sub-com-
initlee which had the subject under consider
ation at the lust session of congress because
they have any personal Jealousy or dislike
for Messas. Allison , Aldrich mid Hiscoek ,
who composed such commltleo , but because
the gentlemen mimed , or nt least the first
two , have opinions concerning larlff revision
and revenues that the venerable father of
the senate and the great leader from Ohio
do not approve. Mr. Sherman and Mr. Mar-
rill are in favor of the passage of the MclCm-
ley bill very much ns it stands. They might
be willing to make some changes in matters
of minor detail , but they are in sympathy
with the policy it represents and pretor mi
Increase of duty in the general list of articles
of Imported morchamllso mid n cut on sugar.
On the other hand , Messrs. Allison and
Aldrich are reformers , as liberal as any lhat
can bo found In the republican party. They
" ' " ivuut to reduce duties as low us is consistent
with the protection of the capital and laoor
interested In tbo mechanical and agricultural
enterprises. They do not believe in any In
crease of taxation , but want n general reduc
tion. They believe in reducing the duties
upon clothing and all the necessaries of life ,
mid lu removing them Irom till raw materials
that do not require proUvtlou. They wunt
free carpet wools , or ut least that authority
bo grunted the president to negotiate reci
procity treaties for the removal of the duties
upon carpet wools and sugar.
Mr. Hlscoek , who was a member of the
sub-eouimlUco , does not agree with them ,
but leans to the views of Merrill and Sher
man. To Imvo referred tlio MeKlnloy bill to
u new sub-committee would have been a re-
ilecllon upon the gentlemen named , and to
give them chin-go of it would bo Us destruc
tion , so it was decided not to send the bill to
uny sub-committee , but to consider It in full
committee instead. This will prevent any
wholesale chanties In the duties fixed by thu
ways and means committee , but will prolong
thu consideration of the bill Indefinitely , and
ns a natural aud unavoidable consequence
will lengthen the session of congress.
Allison und AldiU-hureso familiar with the
subject that they could fix up 11 substitute for
the house bill in ten days , but the other mem
bers of the conference will wunt to inquire
Into things und to learn the reasons for this
and that change , ami u larlff. bill U not any
easy thing to master. Then the commltleo
lius decided to have a hearing tin ) , which the
t.ub-conimUtca would have omitted , and to
consider no arguments except thouosubmltted
in writing. This will tike- great deal of
time , for If one luterest Is allowed to present
Its claims all Interests must have an equal cp-
IHirtunlty , and there nro sumo sixteen thou
sand items In the bill.
Mr , Allison said today that under the pres-
ent arrangement he did not see how It would
bo possible to report the bill to the senate
during this session. There wcro nt least n
hundred different Industries that would de
mand an opportunity lo bo heard and at the
rate of three n day , which would bo a very
large average , It would take five weeks to
listen to them and as many weeks more to
consider and digest their arguments.
Mr. Aldrich said that It would not bo pos
sible for the commltleo to report a bill before
next December , and ho did not see any use In
holding congress together all this lime. If
the commltteo proposed to work on the plan
proposed It would bo better to give up all
hope of passing n larlff bill at this session and
let the committee sit during the recess. "It
may take n month and It may take three
months , " said Mr. Sherman , "to complete the
tariff bill , but I shall not consent to any
hasty or careless legislation. It took the
house commltteo six months to get up this
bill , and as wo have equal responsibility I
think wo should have at least one-third of
that time to consider the measure. Wo must
go over the bill with quite as much care as
the house commltleo has exercised. Wo
should not only know the reasons that have
prompted that commltteo In making changes ,
but wo should learn what effect such changes
will have upon the Industrial Interests of thu
country. I realize that all this will prolong
Iho session , but wo hud boiler bo right oven
if wo have to stay here all summer. "
There 1ms been n good deal of canvassing
in the senate today on this subject and an
attempt will bo made tomorrow to reconsider
the ucllon Inken by Iho committee yesterday.
Whether it will succeed or notls u question.
The democrats will , of course , do nnyMilng
they can to create discord In the republican
ranks , and this llttlo family squabble offers
them a beautiful opportunity.
The room of the senate commltleo on
finance Is crowded wllh petitions and pro-
lesls referring to the tariff bill. They
come from every part of the country and re
late lo every possibles topic and article upon
which duties nro Imposed. Ono pile of pc-
lilions will bo for the increase of the duty on
a certain article , the next pllo will contain
petitions for its reduction or protests against
any change , and the documents are coining in
so fast and so numerously that no ono will
ever know what they contain. It would keep
the members of the cominitlco busy from 7 in
the morning till midnight for seven days in
the week to read them.

man. Nllschko was n passenger on the

Bremen yesterday afternoon. . Nitschko told
the inspectors lU'.it ' ho had no dutiable'goods
in his possession. His acMons aroused sus
picions , however , and Inspactor Donahue In
sisted upon searching his trunk. Nitschko
indignantly tossed ttio inspector tbo key , at
the same tlmo grumbling at the treatment re
ceived. Doimhuo discovered two or three
gold watches In the trunk. Believing that
Nitschko had concealed them In ignorance of
the law and not with any intention of sum g-
gling them , the inspector assessed the
duty ut $ ti. Nitschko grimly paid
tho- amount demanded and started to
walk out of the ollico. His queer gait at-
trnctcd attention. At every step ho stopped
to press something down into his congress
shoes. Ho seemed to bo walking on eggs ,
and was palpably nervous. In reality
Nitschko was walking on diamond rings. The
inspector concluded that all was not right ,
ami ho again seized the suspicious-looking
passenger and insisted upon searching his
clothes. Nitschko was taken mto a dressing-
room and made lo strip. Herrmann never
drew so many valuables from hidden places
as did Iho inspector from the clothing of
Nitschko. In bis shoes were found seven
valuable diamond rings and three handsome
gold watches. In his pockets the Inspector
discovered six pearl crosses , three diamond
crosses , six pearl bracelets , six diamond
bracelets , n dozen elegant scarf plus and
other jewelry of all sorts.

Tlio Itonds Wcro 1'rolintily Scared
Into It Agreement Dictated by
Newman Heavy Work
Done by Goddnrd.
CHICAGO , May 28. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : BEE. ] Every line in the old Western
States and present Trans-Missouri associa
tions has signed n cast-Iron agreement to ad
vance passenger rates on ten days' notice. A
hint of this movement has already been given ,
but owing to the fact that the last signatures
were only obtained this afternoon any ex
tended mention of It would almost surely
have made it result in a failure. The last sig
nature was that of President Oakcs of the
Northern Pacllle , who signed for the Wiscon
sin Central. The preceding signature was
that of President Miller of the St. I'aul.
Both gentlemen arc In New York , and their
signatures completed the llrst unanimous
agreement obtained in six months looking to
an advance in rates. In furtherance of the
agreement n meeting has been called for to
morrow afternoon at U o'clock , when the
agreement will be made official and proper
notices of advances in rates given to the
interstate commerce commission. Tlio agree
ment contains the following provisions :
1. That the agreement shall bo effective
and binding On honor when signed by all the
roads interested.
2. That passenger rates shall be advanced
to the basis in effect December 111 , 183 ! ) .
H. That a road's signature shall bo deemed
nn nfllnnativo vote In the meeting called to
act on tlio agreement.
It Is seen that the rocks of non-attendance
and failure to sccuio unanimity have already
been cleared , and tomorrow's meeting will
only have to go through a few formal motions.
There is no human probability that the move
ment will result in failure. Any road which
now jumps the traces must stand the onus of
a prolongation of the present senseless and
cut-throat warfare.
The agreement was dictated by Yico Presi
dent Newman of the Northwestern and the
heavy work was done by J. F. Goddard , who
Saturday night lays down his vice presidency
of the Atchlson. It was ho who today per
sonally received the signatures of Presidents
Miller and Oakcs.
The personal solicitation was all done by
Mr. Goddard.
The resumption of the old rates will take
effect June 10.
It will continue sixty days , and no road can
withdraw except on tliirty days' notice.
The situation in the southwest remains un
changed , and depends entirely upon Jay
Gould.

Lo.NiutIuy S3. [ New York Herald
Cable SV. \ to THE Bin : . ] Delegates from
Nowfouncnro nt pits.tent In London to
lay the gi \\ccs of their countrymen before -
fore the i , Jh government. They nro
greatly Interested In the Herald's exclusive
publication of' the address of the Newfound
land legislative council to Queen Victoria.
The delegates In question are Sir James
Winter , Q. C. , K. C. M. G. , attorney-general ,
Mr. P. L. Scott , Q. C. , the ex-speaker , and
Mr. A. B. Morlne , M. P. They repudiate
altogether any responsibility for the tone of
the address voted uy the legislative council.
This address was prepared by n Joint select
committee appointed upon the motion of
Premier Sir if. V. Whitewny , and is there
fore a deliberate expression of tbo attitude of
the governmentand legislature. The delegates
in their address agree that the present condi
tion of Newfoundland affairs IH intolerable.
Ju refusing assent to any arbitration upon
the lobster question , both ulllrm that such
un arbitration would only continue to bo n
radically unjust state of things. Both also
agree In attributing much of the trouble now
existing to tlio enormous bounties given by
Franco upon the llsh exported by the French
lishermcn to foreign markets , ami both as
sert , though in different ways , that the settle
ment of the difileultlcs between Great Britain
and France , which docs not include the uucs-
tion of bounties , Is out of the question. The
delegates say that so long us France nos-icsses
any right upon any part of the coast New
foundland dlllleulties will continue , and they
therefore ask that an attempt should bo made
to procure the surrender of the rights upon
reasonable terms. They admit the Im
probability that Franco would surrender
these rights upon the coast of Newfoundland
until she had in some manner procured from
Newfoundland tbo right to purchase bait
uptm the coast of the colony , and they say , on
the other hand , that Newfoundland would
never concede lids right unless the French
bounties upon llsh were either wholly abro
gated or so materially reduced as to permit of
a fair competition between tbo llshermcn of
France and Newfoundland. The delegates
claim that their contentions , although
ernestlv urged , lire calm and conciliatory.
No good can practically accrue to Newfound
land , so delegates say , from language cal
culated to iiiccnso the French , and they hold
that attacks upon the government of this
country must also have an adverse effect.
The language which thoaddress used towards
her majesty's minister is considered to bo un
duly scveio.

The ChlciiRO Gas Trust Meets With
DiHantroiiH Defeat.
CHICAGO , May 28. [ Special Telegram to
Tim BEE. ] All Chicago is elated over the de
cision of j Judge Callins today appointing a re
ceiver for tlio great Chicago gas trust , and
enjoining the trust , which is composed of
four companies , from transferring Its stock or
any moneys on hand or other assets to iho
Fidelity Insurance , safe deposit and trust
company of Philadelphia.
There was a feeling of Jubilation In munici
pal circles when the news of the gas trust's
desperate defeat began to spread. The gen
eral feeling was one of thankfulness that the
haughty combination which bud maintained
its own prices and scornfully detled the city
council to legislate it in obedience to popular
demand had at last been brought to its knees.
Said Alderman Madden : "Wo have the gas
trust at last just where we want it , and In
stead of pleading with that corporation
for some kind of justice and reasonable
enable terms for private consumers
and the general public , the council , as the
representative of that public , vlll now dic
tate Its own terms. The announcement re
minds mo that there Is now pending bo fore
the council nn ordinance for the gas trust
under Us now title of thu Chicago gas com
pany. "
' 1 am delighted to hear that the gas trust
has been beaten , " said Alderman Bidwell.
"I have been after the gas trust ever since I
got Into the council , but could make no head
way. Now , however , that It is in the posi
tion of a suppliant for a new ordinance , und
the props have been knocked from under its
old Hiatus. 1 think wo can secure faomc-
thing like reasonable terms from
this corporation. The ordinance now
in thu hands of thu committee
on gas , oil and electric lights will never bo
passed until private consumers are granted
under its provMon gas as cheap as the city
gets It , and until other arrangements equally
sutisluctory to thu public have been entered
Into. As a llual solution of the gas question ,
however , 1 um for the city making and sup
plying its own gas , and 1 think the present
tlio most favorable opportunity to agitate
that question. "
On the stock exchange hero gas trust
opened at lUjjf. About 11 o'clock the quota
tion began declining rapidly and nt noon it
was down to M and was HUH fulling. Till
ing was light and quotations were governed
by the prices of thu stock on the New York
block exchange.

tall from the army and navy such officers as

propriating $ tiO,000 as tbo share of the

the object could bo attained by tlio use of the
word "regulation. "
Mr. Wilson of lown did not agree with Mr.
Faulkner mid argued in favor'of the substi
tute.
tute.Mr.
Mr. Pugb argued in favor of the bill and
said its defeat would Icuvo the states in a
most serious predicament.
Mr. Call expressed sympathy with the idea
that the states had absolute control of the
traftlo iti intoxicating liquor and was willing
to vote for almost any bill which would at
tain that end ,
Mr. Call yielded the floor to Mr. Allison ,
who presented the conference report on the
army appropriation bill.
Mr. liigulls inquired what had been done. In
regard to the sonata amendment prohibiting
the sale of liquor at army canteens.
Mr. Allison said tlio provision had been
modified to read : "That no alcoholic liquors ,
beer or wino shall bo sold or supplied to en
listed men In any canteen or post trader'B '
store In any state or territory in which tlio
sale of alcoholic liquors , beer or wino is pro
hibited by law. "
Keplylng to a question by Mr. Blair , Mr.
Allison said the senate conferees had found It
necessary to yield to the house conferees in
the matter. There was quito n spirited debate -
bate on this point.
Mr. BInir held that It was an entire sur
render of the proposition.
Mr. Allison said that of coursn the provi
sion applied only to states and territories
where tlio prohibitory law prevailed.
Tlio house conferees wore unanimous in In
sisting that the senate proviso should not re
main In the bill.
Mr. Paddock said it was within bounds testate
state that nineteen-twcntleths of the troopa
were stationed outslilo of the states and ter
ritories having prohibitory laws.
Mr. Allison said the senate conferees did
the best they could In the matter.
Mr. Ulalr insisted that the language
adopted was a substantial surrender of the
senate proviso , and that the army canteen
would remain In substantially full force.
Mr. Ingalls said that either the control of
the tinny , so far as the sale of Intoxicating
liquors was concerned , outilit to bo in the
United States or it ought not. Congress
ought either to say that all soldiers shall
have an opportunity of gelling drunk or no.
Tlio proposition to leave tbu control of the
question to local legislation seemed Inde
fensible , mid so far us tlio senate was con
cerned It would bo more manly to relinquish
the whole thing absolutely ruthur than to
liavo it HO mutilated.
Mr. Allison then withdrew the re-port and
said ho would call It up tomorrow.
The house fortiilcatlon bill was reported
with amendments and laid on the table
The conference report on tlio bill fur a pub
lic building at Cedar Kuplds , la , was

The consideration of the liquor bill was resumed -
sumed ,
Mr. Pcarco criticized the arguments of
some of the democratic senators uwl mudo an
argument In support of the bill.
Mr. Turplo said the senate had under the
constitution no duty whatever to perform on
this subject. With respect to the "shadowy ,

essence that is called moral sentiment , ncliind
