Representative Burton proposes to take
the Canadian railroads by the t'hvoat and
choke them Into submission to the agrarian
interstate commerce law. This Is about the
meaning of bis hill Introduced the other day
for the purpose of licensing Canadian rail * ,
roads to do business on this side of the bor
der. There hnvo been numerous solutions
to this railway problem offered , but the Bur
ton plan Is probably the moit radical ono. It
provides that no Canadian railroad can do
business on this side of the border unless It
first file a stipulation that It will con
form to the interstate commerce law ,
An agent must DO kept on this sldo upon
whom papers may bo served. The Interstate
commcrco commission has , however , authority
over the Canadian railroads nnd may at any
tlmo suspend the license of a Qanadian road
when It is found that there Is n breach of the
interstate law. On the first breach of the law
the suspension is for three months , on the
second breach six months , and in case of n
continuance of the breach the suspension may
ho continuous. The custom house officers are
called upon to do an extraordinary duty in
stopping the Canadian railroad nt the border
In case the interstate commerce commis
sion orders the suspension of the road's
trafllc. Speaking of this proposed license
system of solving the Cnnaellan railway ques
tion , Senator McMillan said today that It
could not possibly bo carried Into operation.
The suspension of a railroad business for
three months was equivalent to suspending it
for gooel , for when a barrier was once put
upon a road it would depress Its financial
standing nnd permanently cripple * it.
THE SENATE CLOTU11E IIESOLTJTIOX.
There was a complete suspension of busi
ness federal , legislative nnd civil in Wash
ington today. Snow fell from cailv morning
till nlcht nnel few people were on the streets ,
There was little said of politics or legislation ,
but the expressions heard -were generally te
the effect that the cloture resolution will be
passed , yet it may como nt sc
la to a day that neither the election
or financial bill will bo passed. Thcro are
about a dozen general appropriation bills te
be passed and only about llfty-ilvo working
days remain of the session. It may bo ncces
sary to .pass the cloture resolution in order tc
complete any Important business. Surob
"
this must bo "done If the democrats are nol
assured that the election .uill is not to b (
pushed to a vote , so the adoption of th <
cloturc resolution docs not necessarily meat
the adoption of the election bill.

"WASHINGTON , Deo. 25. The Post tomorrov
will say that Senator Paddock of Ncbrask
was In earnest when bo warned the senate
few days ago that ho would soon move to la ;
aside the election bill and take up the pur
food bill , and ho will before long again tnk
occasion to renew his warning. Ho will flrs
give his party , however , ample oppcrtunit ;
to cither pass the election bill or conclude t
lay it aside. In this connection it may bo In
tcrcstlngto state that Paddock has been nils
quoted from the beginning in regard to hi
position on this bill. A dispatch origin all ;
sent from hero nscribod nn Intorviev
nllcged to have taken place botwcei
the president and the senate , in which th
former is said to have upbraided the lattc
for not supporting the bill.
"Ttio Interview thus picturesquely rolatci
not only never occurred , " said Paddock , "bu
the president never mentioned cither th
elections bill or the tariff bill to me. I hnv
never said 1 would not vote for the election
bill , " ho continued , "althougn I have beoi
quoted as saying so. The truth Is that thcr
is nothing In the provisions of the hill objcc
tionablo to mo. My position Is that I rogar
tlio consideration of ttio hill at this tlmo n
unwise. I think It would bo botte
to discuss and pass financial mcas
urcs. The elections hill Is purely
political matter. In which only straight-oil
republicans in the country are Interested
while financial legislation vitally concerns a
business men and Is sadly needed. Ccrtainl
this is the situation In Nebraska , I have nc

In mute but emphatic revelation , a story of a
sad life and its ond.
The victim was John Jemlson. Ho lived
what to many would bo Considered an event
ful life , the heir , without knowing it , to
wealth greater than that attributed to the
fabled "Monte Cnsto , " and died so poor in

letters which had belonged to the deceased
yesterday when lie discovered the secret that
makes the heirs of .Tcmlson the owners of
many millions of dollars' wOith of property.
The letters wcro written In 1830 oy ono of

Captain Jemlson , In tho'service ' of the com
mand of General Samuel Houston , when
ITexas v.as n republic. In this epistle , which
is written to a relative In Chicago , ho pro-

the loved ones nt his homo , but that ho ex
pected to moot the very fate that did befall
him when , some tlmo after , ho foil on the
Held , his heart plorccd [ by n shot from the
foo. The man who died hero recently was
his descendant ID n direct line , and of his
identity there la not cvbn the shadow of a
doubt. r
V Tlio soldier who was life ancestor had prop
erty in three different slates in three hold-
Ings. It was of comparatively trifling vuluo
and Cnptnln Jemlson , Usjowner , was a com
paratively poor man when ho died , some ol
this land was located IB the very neart ol
Chicago and a portion of What now comprises
Hcnnepln parkinthot city. The powers ol
attorney have been redoived by the lawyer
who made the discover and ho has filed
them with the clerk of the county court here
ns a preliminary step toward the recovery ol
some valunblo property located in the city.
Since the death of Jemlson the property that
was his has cnhnnccd soVorul thousandfold in
value anel today that portiofi of it located in
Chicago alone is estimated at $40,000,000 ,
\vhllo tbo balance is equally as valuable.

LINCOI.V , Nob. , Doc. 21. [ Special to THE
Ben. ] Another safe was cracked In Lincoln
last night , tlio victims this time being the
firm of Cmtlco & Thayer , at 207 South
Eleventh street. The bold burglars effected
on entrance by prying open the front door of
the store with n chisel. After getting Insldo
they nulled the door up so that It would bo
impossible for any ofllcors or other persons
to get In In case they wore discovered. The
cracksmen used twenty penny spikes and ton
penny nails in putting up the barricade , and
must necessarily have made considerable
nolso In so doing. It Is believed that a con
federate must have stood on the sidewalk nnd
watched for the pohco while thefdnrlnc work
was being carried on.
The safe was then tackled , the mode or
procceduro being to bore a hole midway be
tween the combination nml knob , and then
to Insert n steel rod. * A few blows on the
rod demolished tbo dellcuto machinery of the
combination nnd the door flow open by
merely turning tlio knob.
Fortunately tborovas only about 530 In
the safe , but tbo thieves took every cent of
this. They made their exit , through n back
door end left It standing open. It is sup
posed that the fellows nro the same , vho
cracked Nlsstoy's safe , as their methods are
the same.

hnvo filed informations with Attorney Gen-
cr.il Hunt at Springfield advising him of ttio
existence at the Union Mod ; yards nt Chicago
cage of tin organization liiiown ns the Chicago

about llvo hundred commission merchants

ynrds , nml to prohibit members of
Us organisation from buying stoclj from any
person doing btiiltiosi nt the stockyards who
19 not. n member of the exchange. The in
formation sets lorth that this organization
1ms fixed minimum rates of commission for
the selling of llvo stock and under Its rules
nfllxcs rigid penalties to prohibit Its members
from buying llvo stock from any person hav
ing business nt the stockyards who does not
comply with the rules of the exchange ; that
this Chicago Llvo Stock exchange Is Incor

that ( in effort lias been mndo by nu organiza
tion of stock producers to procure their
stock to bo sold on the union tock-
ynrds market in such form that the
proceeds resulting from such sales
over nnd above the nccdssnry expenses should
bo divided , so that 05 per cent or such excess
might go to the owners of the stock sold in
the ratio to the number sold , but that a com
bination exists between the buyers nt the
stockyards nnd the commission tnorclmnts by
which the purchasers of live stock ( being
nlso members of the exchange ] , are refusing
to buy cnttlo shipped to the stockyards from
any persons except the members of this live
stock exchange , who charge tlio extravagant

The information says these regulation ; nro
designed to prevent members of the ex
change from handling stock shipped in

company , which is composed exclusively of
stock producers in this and other states and
which has employed agents to sell their stock
for them nnd lor such others as might see lit
to iond stock to them , adding that the expe
rience of the latter company demonstrates
that cattle can bo profitably handled as to the
bujlngnna selling nt 25 cents a head. The
informants aver that tlio union stockyards
is n public market and should therefore bo
open nnd free , and they ask the attorney gen

THE STATE TREASURY IS DEPLEFED.
A 'Vast iVinoitnt of Kino I-'Igitrlnff
Ncoessnry Outlook In tlio Con
test for the United Snt ( 0
Piniini : , S. D. , Doo. 23. The state leglsla-
turo will meet ut Pierre January 0. That the
legislators will hnvo a vast amount of fin *
figuring to do to meet the exigencies of the
hour there i < t no doubt in the minds of these
well posted reg.trdlnjr the state's nlTatrs , The
stnto treasury Is utterly depleted nnd has
readied the constitutional limitation as to the
raislne of revenue. The present year the
taxes of South Dakota were raised under the
ll-inill levy mndo under the territorial law
mndo last year , and in addition bonds to tha
amount of f 100,000 the constitutional limit
wcro issued and sold ; nnd yet within much
less than a year tlio treasury has been
emptied , mid a stoppage ami closing of every
publlu Institution i.s threatened , These things
were made plain to the legislature last winter
lu n message from the governor , but no hood
was given , That body went nliciid in a reckless -
less manner , fronting now onieors , limiting
largo appropriations , nnd opening now chan
nels for the state funds to escape.
Of course hard times aud a failure to col
lect taxes has ImU something to do with tha
state's financial condition , yet the fwt re
mains that if all the taxes were collected the
amount would bo still far short of ciumgli to
cover the deficit. Tuero Is but ono tem
porary expedient nt hand , which Is a consti
tutional provision allowing the legislature
to order an extra levy to meet casual deficits
and failure in revenue , but even that is not
readily available.
The amendment voted on nt the late elec
tion to Increase the bonded Indebtedness to
$500,000 was dofo.ited by n largo majority.
If lids had carried the legislature would
have cnsllv tound a way to solve the prob
lem ; but the votcrsof tlio state did not seem
to uiidorstnnu the stato's Ilnnntinl straits.
From different portions of the state como
rumor * of proposed new legislation , such us
radical railroad legislation , including a 2-ecnt
fare , flues for the acceptance of passes by
public oflleiuls. tivxutlon , etc. Then there nro
those who will urge n reduction of the mem
bership of the legislature the house to sev
enty-live members and the senate to twenty-
llvo members , the membership In the two
houses now being double that number. Vhoro
, vill probably bo an amendment to the con-
ititution proposed lelntive to aid for. irrlga-
Ion , a bill looking to this object having been
etoed by the governor lust winter on account
.f its being unconstitutional. Then thcioaro
ioso who will urge the resubmlsslon of the
prohibition amendment nnd possibly of the
tvoman suffrage amendment , and there Is talk
; hal Huron will endeavor to have the consti
tution amended so that the capital location
may again bo voted upon.
But the great nnd nll-nbsorblng toplo is
.hat of electing a United States senator for a
.erm of six years to succeed G. C. Moody.
The political complexion of the legislature Is
divided between the democrats , independ
ents nnd republicans , neither party having a
majority on Joint ballot , thougu tlio demo
crats and independents together have a
majority of five on Joint ballot. It Is be
lieved by many that tbo democrats and Indo-
; pcadeatstwllUioln tlu.t.anxellor ute , organ lia
both bouses , nnd that the offlcerTftha"TWfl ! *
manshlps are to ho divided between the inde
pendents and democrats , the sneakershlp to
goto this independents ; that the independ
ents and democrats will unite to break down
senator Moody at the outset ; then the inde
pendents will bo nt liberty to vote for their
candidate , Mr.Vardnll , and the democrats
nt liberty to vote for Mr. trip , their candi
date , but If nt any time cither branch
of the fusion can" form a combination
that will elect either Tripp or War-
dell , they are to unite for that purpose
without further ceremony. Should It bo
demonstrated that neither \Vardall nor Tripp
can bo elected n new man is to DO tuhon up ,
cither democrat or Independent. Should this
programme bo cnuled out , Moody will stnnd
10 show.
But the republicans assort that they will
bo able to control enough Independent mem
bers to tlect Moody or some other republican ,
Senator Pcttlgrow will use his inllnonco to
re-elect Mooilv , nnd ho is a Vower in South
D.iliota politics.
There are others mentioned In connection
with the sonatorship Governor Mellcttq. A.
