Sioux Cur , la. , Dec. 19. [ Special Tele

Omaha paper thut gave any news concerning
the appointment of a receiver for the Pacific
Short Uno , a subject that has been of absorb
ing Interest hero today. Some of the Sioux
City stockholders bolicvo that the move was
taken by the Now Yorlt men Interested In

stock. Others think differently nnd say thnt
the appointment of a receiver will result In
straightenliii ; matU/rs out In a short time.

"I know llttlo or nothing about It and do
not know who made the application ,
1 am pleased to know that a re
ceiver has bcca appointed , ns It will
now glvo mo tinio to attend to the
business of the Toad. For some tlmo tiast I
have been chased on every sldo by creditors
of the road. Thcro was no money to pay the
claims and no way of getting It nt the present
tlmo. As a result the road's ' equipment was
being covered by liens nnd attached on every
sluo. In n little while they would bo Inking
our iron , ties , engines and everything wo
needed to operate the rond. In lact thocrcd-
Hors wouldjmvo pulled the road to pieces ,
Now It is different. With a receiver ap
pointed all claims will have to take their
usual course. There Is the United Suites
court and In It they will have to bo settled.
1 nm pleased to sco it , for it means peace.
The warring of factions nnd creditors bns
had a bad effect on the road , and the ap
pointment , of a receiver will put a atop
"What will bo tlio result of the move !
Does It mean the sale of the rondl"
"Not much. The road will bo all right. As

I will remain in charge of the management of

that the chapter mot In Dublin , ns asserted
by Parncll , and adds that ho is convinced
that Ireland should net In accord with the

ho has given further abundant proof of his
unilinear fortho leadership of the Irish party.
Leo proceeds at much length to state his
opinion thnt In view of the excited state of
public feeling it Is Inexpedient for the clergy
to mix up with violent meetings. Ho Is now
clearly of-thb opinion thnt the clergy has a
duty to perform In impressing on the people
on every suitable occasion that despite his
many precious services they llnd themselves
forced to the conclusion that they must re
gard I'arncll ns a fallen leader , no longer
worthy of the people's confidence.

nil expenses of agents aud salaries of officers
by having the business of the company done
by agents of tlio Business Man's association ,
which has branches In all the cities of the

that the cost of Insuring will bo 33 > ) f per cent

KcDort nud Adds nn Appropria
tion to Purchase Uccfntid

WASHINGTON , Deo. 10. Mr. Stanford ad
dressed the senate on his bill to provide the
government with tnoans suftlclent to supply
the want of a sound circulating medium. In
the course of hli remarks lie said that the
scheme of the bill Is to supply au ample
amount of money for nil business purposes.
Ho mentioned lands as security because they
appear to bo the moat certain of all security
and nro sufficient to furnish all the mono '
needed. The ucnplo , ho thought , will have
more confldanco In n financial .measure that
Is now and radical If It has at present only
laud for a busts. The rate of Interest in the
bill h iixed at 2 par emit , but in tlmo may bo
reduced ns experience shall teach. The
rate of Interest charged by 'tho govern
ment under the bill will not neces
sarily llx the general ruto ot Interest
for business purposes. That will always bo
determined by Its value in uso. The farmer
having the best security will borrow for his
own use or the use of others 'Who may bo
willing to pay htm satisfactory ; Interest. The
banker borrows money from thd 'Government
* 'freo of interest and loans it at suoh a rate as
Its use commands in the marketMr. . Stan-
fora said the measure had boon compared 10
the plan adopted In the Argentine republic ,
and nsierteJ thnt thcro was no analogy ho-
tweon them. To compare the working of the
measure of that republic with say 6,000,000 ,
population to thnt of our country with Its
enlightened 00,000,000 is like compailnp the
methods of some Irresponsible banker to these
of the Rothschilds. In conclusion , ho said that
the foundation of the wholomntter and the real
question to bo considered is , that inasmuch
as the government reserves the right to
issue money It Is Its duty the means being
provided to furnish what is necessary to
the prosperity of the people.
The bill was referred to' the finance com
mittee , as was also ono.by Mr. Ingnll.t to
allow the exchange of interest-bearing debt
for legal tender notes.
The printing deficiency bill was amended
and passed.
A resolution by Mr. Mandorson was re
ferred to the committee on Indian affairs , In
structing that committee to Innulro Into the
condition of the Indian trlbos in North and
South Dakota , Montana and elsewhere , the
stops necessary to disarm them , etc.
The elections bill was taken upaun Messrs.
Bate and Gibson argued against it.
Mr. Stewart imulo nn argument against
the bill on the ground that an attempt to execute -
cute it In the south would bo dis
astrous to both races. Jlo was a
friend of the colored man and deeply
sympathized with him , but could not
ask him to put his life in jeopardy in order to
light a political battle for his ( Stewart's ) nd-
vantago. Ho was equally n friend of the
white man and desired to refrain .from any
net which might Justify the white man in
making war upoa a defenseless race which
congress enfranchised. Whatever was done
In the matter of protecting suffrage in the
south , unless done through tlio voluntary ac
tion of the people of that section , would have
to result In ooo of two things. 'If "tho negro
was protected Dy force the sumo-force would
Inevitably bo driven to the necessity of do-
strojIng-his enemy. Thnt involved the en
slavement and final oxtermlnatlqa of the
whites. The employment of force-would re
sult ultimately in the extermination cither of
the blacks or of the whites. If military power
was to bo used in the oxccutioh-of-
pending bill then the bill would
bo defeated. If it .was. to ; .bo a
dead lottor- why pass ill Pabllg
opinion at.tho south was entirely .against it.
Instead ot protecting thij colored man it would
bring upoa him jporsecution and misery , if
not death. No assumption of party ; necessity
could justify such aa act. It was the plain
duty of the senate to trust td natural causes
in the hope that they would remedy the evil.
The bill ought not to pass because it never
would bp enforced , because it would consoli
date the southern whitesbecause , it would
bring further misery ori the southern blacks ,
and because it would increase sectional ani
mosity and kindle nnow the dlscpjil1 * Ictt the
past. Mr. Stewart recalled the-pocehes in
opposition to the force bill of 1376 , made by
Messrs. Hoar and Hawley , 'then representa
tives. Among these voting against * the bill
Mr. Stewart recalled Fortor , Gavlleld , Will
iam Walter Phelps , Kasson and Kellogg. Ho
suggested that supervisors mid other otllcors
would becoino marked men , and from tlio re
port of investigating committees and nil
knowledge obtained during the pasf'.twcnty
years It was plain what their fate would be.
Unless congress was disposed to proceed tea
a remedy under the constitution ( thnt of
denying representation on account of ex
clusion from , or ob-itaclcs to the cxerciso of
the franchise ) , the only remedy that-existed
was la the enforcement of tlio laws already
on the statute books and in the assurance
that no pressure from the outside , would bo
exercised. In his judgment the solid south
was maintained by the use of the cry thai It
was intended on the part of these
who controlled the general eovern-
mont to Interfere with their local af
fairs. The moment such ' a Cry was
effectually' proven to bo without foundation
the south could not nay longer bpkii | > t solid.
The sectional party there had already'begun
to disintegrate. That disintegration must
necessarily bring about. protection' " to .tho
negro vote. The organization now irresisti
ble In some states in' suppressing * that vote
would bo among the earliest UJ bld'for it
when they found it ncccssa'ry.for theft 'exist-
on eo ,
Mr. Hoar had the provisions of 1)19 ) force
bill of 1875 read for the purpose of Justifying
opposition to It by himself und.otticr. republi

DUN'S ' REVIEW OF THE WEEK ,
Thrco Oaueos for tlio Present Display of Lack
of Confidence.
FINANCIAL LEGISLATION IS FEARED ,
A Monetary Stringency at Most Poluli
Now Vcar's Will King In llctter
Collections Pair Trndo
in the South.
Kr.w YOIIK , Dec. 19. [ Special Telegram to
toTnr. BKK.I K. G. Uun& Co.'s weekly ro-
vlcw of trade says ! Huslncss continues
largo for the , season , but thcro la a perceptible
loss of the fooling of confldonco. The causes
appear to bo i ( I , ) the prospect of Important
monetary legislation , the effects of which
nro not clearly foreseen1 (2 ( , ) the frequent
failures mid greater dlniculttcs In making
collections , ami ( ! ) , ) less satisfactory condi
tions m some largo branches of Industry.
Probably moro people arc alToctcd as to
business undertakings , often unconsciously ,
by the uncertainty of financial legislation
nnd its effects than by any other cnuso.
Though tlio ruto for money on call is lower
than a week ago , and money Is lower at Uos-
ton ami Philadelphia , there Is still a strin
gency at most points throughout the country.
Complaints of slow collections have rarely
been moro general , and iu ninny cases settle
ments can bo made only with notes or renew
als. Hut In all quarters thcro Is hope that
after January 1 things may improve In this
reaped if legislative prospects do not mean
while cause greater shrinkage of credits
nnd , curtailment of purchases , Foreign
hitlucnccs nro not now disturbing.Exports
of products for the two weeks of December
from Now i'ork show a gain of 8 per cent
over last yonr and the total of last December
was hardly over surpassed. Though Imports
continue heavy they arc greatly exceeded by
the exports at nrcscnt. Exports of cotton
thus far this month exceed last year and also
of provisions , but thcro is a heavy ilccreaso
in grain caused by the speculative prices
hero. *
Trade at the south Is fair , at most points
reporting ; healthy nt Now Orleans with
larger cotton receipts , dull at Memphis , but
moro contldont at Little Rock , slighly im
proved nt Montgomery and good at Nash
ville , less confident at Jacksonville , and at
Atlanta the accumulations of cotton are
large.
Monoy' is very close nt all points , the ba ks
hclninK customers ns far ns they can , but
collections arc not up to the average.
Across the Mississippi , St. Louis has colder
weather favoring nil lines of trade , but at
Kansas City the holiday trade is below the
average. At Denver tlio trade Is only fair.
At Salt Lake It is improving somo. At
Omaha it Is fair. At Minneapolis It is steady
for lumber and improving in prices for flour
nnd nt St. Paul confidence Is returning. Col
lections in this region arc only fair.
At Chicago the receipts of wheat and wool
are n third below last year's ; of hides
larger and of other products about the samo.
The sales of merchandise exceed last year's.
Money Is firm and regular , business is sup
plied nnd there Is confidence la the immedi
ate future. At Milwaukee and Detroit the
trade Is pood. At Cleveland It is fair and nt
Cincinnati very qulot in wholesale lines.
"
Pittsburg reports" moro confidence in the
trade in mauutncturcd iron nnd in glass It is
slower and Besslmer blooms are lower. The
banks are less apprehensive , but cautious.
Confidence improves nt Boston. Though
money is easier nt Philadelphia , the note
worthy feature Is the general difficulty of
collections , 'especially In iron , paints , oils ,
jewelry .and glass. Trade Is fair In all these
lines nnd glass plates are stifTer , but lower
prices are expected in wool , and the demand
for tobacco is light.
The anthracite coal trade is demoralized ,
and 'cstrictlons of the output do not i-cstrict.
A general break-up of the combine is Doing
apprehended. Icon shows no improvement nt
'
Philadelphia or h'e'ro. The demand for fiiu
ishcd products generally Is slack and tlio
closing of moro furnaces Is likely to bo forced.
Copper is unsettled , but tin is a shade
stronger nt 20.65 cents anil lead at 4.10.
The dry goods trade feels the influence of
recent failures and of the stringency in com
mercial loans.
In the speculative markets the tendency
has generally been downward , though wheat
is 1 % centa higher than n week ago in spite
of thO phenomenally largo exports and the ac
cumulating stocks.
Com is % cents lower ; pork 75 cents per
barrel ; hogs , -lli cents per 100 pounds , nnd oil
a fraction lower. Cotton and coffee nro unchanged -
changed for the week.
It is noteworthy that the speculative mar
kets are all hesitating la the feeling that
monetary legislation may indefinitely alter
the situation. Hence the largely increased
immediate supplies of money by the imports
of gold , and treasury disbursements have loss
effect than might bo expected.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven days
immbcr tM as compared with ! ! " . ( last wco'k.
For the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 343.

A Very Unique State of Affairs In n
Khcrinan County Town.
A very strnngo state of affairs exists in
Lltcafleld , a llttlo station on the B. & M.
roa'd iu Sherman county. Early in the week
a stranger sick with mountain fever came to
Mason' City , Custcr county , and died thcro.
The citizens put the body in a box and
shipped itto Litchflcld. The Lltchfleld agent
apprised his company of the arrival of the
grucsouiQ freight and asked them what ho
should do with It. Ho was instructed toturn
it over to the authorities for Interment.
When ho attempted to carry out his instruc
tions , however , the village fathers refused to
receive the body on the ground that they
were not authorized to use the public money
for the burial of dead bodies furnished by
soulless corporations and placed a night
watch at the deiwt to see that the corpse was
not surreptitiously removed and placed in
ftomo vacaift houso. In the meantime the
ngent has notified the railroad company that
the depot is too small for two permanent oc
cupants nnd thut either himself or the
stranger must go.

FIr t Visit of nir. S. if. II. Clnrk to
Unintiii Since Ills Ui < liiRtiitoincnt.
Mr. S. II , II. Clark , f-onernl manager of the
Union Pacific road , arrived in the city yester
day morning , accompanied by H. 6. Townsend -
send , general passenger agent of the Mis.
sour ! Pacific , of which road Mr. Clnrk Is nlso
first vice president mid general manager.
Mr. Clark traveled all night In his special
car and on hU arrival registered at the Mil-
Inrd.
Inrd.Ho
Ho was called upon by a representative of
Tun DDE and was found quietly cnjoyinc a
fragrant. nftor-brcaUfait cigar. Ho scorned
to bo in his usual health , though strange to
remark , his features bore less of the troubled
and tiresome expression which characterized
them when ho bade Omaha farewell several
years ago.
It would be injudicious , ho snW , when
asked whether ho would call any of his nld
aids to nelp him on the road , to express an
opinion on the subject. To do so w/mld causa
an uneasiness and anxiety xvhlch would bo
anything but beneilclal to the road. It had
always , been his custom to Keep such mat
ters to himself until the time arrived to act
regarding them , if Indeed any action were
contemplated.
The Missouri Pacific , Mr. Clark admitted ,
would run its passenger trains Into the now
union depot. This would give the road the
benefit of atwut twenty-live miles shortorrun ,
which ho thought was the dilTcrcnco between
the new and the old line.
The Uelt line would bo used as a local
line and over" it the freight trains into uud
out of the city would run.
Mr. Clark said that ho had not yet decided
whether ho would lake up his residence in
this city , but would consider the matter and
notify his superiors in the cast as to what ho
thought would bo proper in the premises
and would abide by their decision.
The reporter Informed him that a great
deal of dissatisfaction had boon occasioncct
alou'g the western divisions of the Union 1'a"
ciflc by tlio frequency with which wrecks
had occurred the past suminer , the delay thov
hnd occasioned trafllc , the losses they hail
engendered and the sacredness with which
the news had been concealed from the press
and .consequently from all save these resid
ing in the Unmodiato vicinity of the acci
dents ,
Mr. Clarlt nodded assent to every feature
of the Information as if it had not reached
his ears for the first time. Ho acknowledged
the fact .that wrecks had frequently , very
frequently , occurred and that information
seemed not to have reached the papers.
These wrecks , ho said , showed , there was a
screw loose somowhcro and thut it was to bo
regretted they couhl not havobocn prevented.
Regarding strikes , ho had heard , hoaid ,
of several strikes among trainmen and others ,
the causes of nil of which ho was not
qulto familiar with. These showed that
there was a feeling of discontent
among the men. What occasioned it ,
ho did not lcnow. _ Hut perfect satisfaction
could not bo given in managing n road unless
the employes were perfectly contented and"
happy , and they could not t > o made contented
unless the management got down ns near as
possible to them to understand their needs
and demands. That had alwvs been his policy
and ho had found it to result most satisfac
torily.
Ho was informed that thcro were In town
two delegations , ono of engineers , the other
of iircmcn throughout the Union Pacific sys
tem ; that they had been discussing some
grievances -which they had Intended to place
before the old manager , but that they hud re
served the same to bo considered by himself.
Mr. Clark oxnresbed himself ns pleased
with the method and consideration which had
distinguished these two bodies , as also the
discretion which ho understood they had dis
played on many similar occasions and said it
would ulTord him pleasure to moot thorn and
consider what they had to say.
