A ICiimor That Senator I'nililook Is

The cltl/ens of Iowa nnd Nebraska , and es
pecially the businessmen of Omaha and
'
Councl'l IUuff.1 , are watching with great In-
tcrest the progress ot. tlio now Missouri
river brldgo bill now before con
gress. It WM rumored yesterday
thaC Scnatort Paddock was not actively
supporting tho' hill and a party Interested In
that company was scon last nltfht by n BEB
reporter. Thn gentleman naid : "Private
telegrams have been received from Washing
ton stating that Senator Paddock had an
nounced his opposition to the passage of the
bill , but all others ef the Nebraska and Iowa
delegation , without exception , nro favorable.
"Jt Is Impossible to account for tUls action
on the part of Senator Paddock. No recent
measure before congress has received such
emphatic undunivcrsalcndorftciunnt. Earnest
pppculii to support this hill have been sent to
Mr. Paddock as well as other
members from the business men ,
bunkers nnd city onleial * of Omaha
nud South Omaha , from the governors
anil nil tl.o state oftlcors of Nebraska
nnd Iowa , nnd from a very largo number of
prlvatti individuals. These must have con
vinced him beyond question that , the
bill Is regarded by all classes as
nn advantage to Omaha and Nebraska.
Ills present attitude , therefore , In attempting
to block the wheels of n public enterprise
that will provo of incalculable benefit to so
largo a number of people , is directly contrary
to that which those people had a right to
expect. " _ _

OIIIOAOO , Jan. 2J. fSjioohil Telegram tote
to TUB Jlii : . ] The fact that K. P. Ilutchlu-
son , the votoron board of trade man , famili
arly known a < "Old Hutch , " had suddenly
withdrawn from speculation hat been a matter -
tor of comment among brokers for weeks , hut
It was not until today that thacausoof his re
tirement beeatno known. Mr. Ilutehlnson's
family is dissatisfied with his peculiar trades ,
nnd his son , Charles L. Ilut.chinsou , after
consultation with his attorney and close pcr-
Bomil friends , had a talk with his father and
told him that , unless ho closed up his deals
quietly and gave up nil speculative business ,
the matter would bo tnken Into the
vourts and a conservator applied for. Ilulch-
inson , sr. , was very angry for a time , hut
Dually consented to the terms and at once
evened up Ills trades and closed the bo'bks. It
Is rumored thatHutchlnscm has lose about
? 10,000XK ( ) within twenty years. In 1870 ho
was reported to have a fortune of SJO.OOO.OOO.
Ten years ago , his son says , this had dwin
dled to $10,000,000 nnd now there Is hut
$1,000,00(1 ( left. It was to save this from fol-
lo\Vlng the rest of his money that the family
insisted upon his retirement.
It Is said that Mr. Ilutehlnson's treatment
of his wife in money matters also had some
thing to do with the threat of put
ting n conservator in ctinrgo of the
K'oporty. As the story coes , Mrs.
utchinson , when abroad about a year
ago needed some funds and in ad a a draft on
her husband for $1,000. Mr. flutchmson ,
however , refused to honor the draft nnd de
clined to mnko nn explanation. The matter
was overlooked nnd Mrs. Hiitchluson , when
on a visit in the cast for a few weeks , again
drew on him for nionoy. This o raft ho also
refused , so it Is said , and , It > vas paid by his
son. 1Vh.cu Airs. Hutchlnson returned homo
she notillcd her husband that she did not
nroposo to stand that kind of treatment aud
thut if ; ho did not honor her calls for money
aho would toke the matter into tho-courts.
Hutchlnson has been the biggest and bold
est .speculator on the hoard of trade over
known until within the last thrco months ,
\vhon ho waa displaced by Mr. Pardridgo ,
who now cnjors the reputation of being the
boss high roller.

A 8POH1 jfllA.VS FATAL SHOT.

Fatal accidents' in and about Omaha have
been crowding upon ear * other lu rapid suc
cession since liLstS'ln.av night.
Yesterday furnUncd Its full 'quota. A la-
> oror named Nils Larson lies at St. Joseph's
lospital with what scorns to' bo a mortal
lullct wound lu his chest. Ho was coming
o the Omaha ice company' ' house out on
3ut-0ff lake yesterday from Floreirco when
10 received the shot that will , In all proba
bility , end his lifo. It was purely accidental
and was n most remnrkablo Incident.
Josluh Kent , a young1 BOH of Captain Kent
of Cut-Off lslnnd\vas , out huntlugtowird the
cast end ot Cut-Off lake and ho 11 rod at a
goose. It was n rillo that ho had and n gun
if long range aud heavily loaded. The goose
vns about two hundred yards away nnd a
! ow yards beyond were some blocks of Ice
above the surface. The leaden inisslo struck
ono ot these cakes of ice and glanced off at
almost a right iinglo from Us orlglunl course ,
striking Ncls Lnrscn at a distance of COO
yards from tbo point of dcllcctipn.
It might easily bo supposed that the force
of tha bullet would bo nhnojt entirely spent
by the time it baa gone SOU yards , nnd 000 of
.hat distance after glancing so far out of its
course , but It still had momentum enough to
shatter a rib and penetrate Into the victim's
lungs , where it Is now lodged .
The wounded man was picked up by some
ice cutters and carilcd to the Omaha Ice
company's warehouse. The joung man
who llred the shot roulled very
soon thnt" the bullet which sped from
tils gun had indicted the dangerous wound
nnd ho took Larson In his buggy and brought
him to St. Joseph's hospital.
The bullet Is a 33 callbro and took effect In
the right InciLst , splintering a rib so thnt
pieces of the bone had to bo taken out. The
bullet Is lodged In the right lung and cannot
bo extracted.
Dr. Gulhraith Is of the opinion thnt
the pntlont cannot live , although
ho was apparently holding hls.own lost night
at a late hour.
Nils Larsen has two brothers named Peter
nnd Lucno Larseu. They all cams from Mo-
lltio , III. , and have been In Omaha several
months. The wounded man had worked ut
jutting ice for tnreo weeks at Florence. Ho
is thoroughly convinced that tha shooting
was purely accidental. Voung Kent has not
been arrested.
A XI V8E31EHT3.
In the list of comic opera successes of re
cent years "Tho Sea King , " which was mnde
known at the Boyd last evening by the W. J.
Gllmoro opera company , deservedly takes
high rank.
Tbo composer , Mr. Richard Stahl , while
not claiming any great originality for the
opera , is entitled to unlimited credit for hav
ing given the musical world a composition
which is infinitely bettor than the "rot"
which has ot late boon flooding the country
to the exclusion of ttio better examples of
musical construction.
It is really a pleasure nowadays to find a
modicum of really serious and earnest , musie
introduced 'iu the rnodcrn opera comlquo"
And 3 composer \vbo' possesses both the in
clination and the capacity to write , If 'only
once in awhile , something removed from the
Innno drivel which passes current as comic
opera just now , deserves nronouncod encour
agement from those who feel a profound dis
gust at the unmusical tendencies of the comic
opera stage in this evening of the nineteenth
century.
"The Sea King" is muchsuporlorto thocom-
poscr's first effort in the lineof comic opera ,
"Said Pnsha. " It Is written. upon a much
higher plane and displays to excellent advan
tage the good school Air. Stnhl was trained
lu. It indicates too a greater facility iu the
manugemcnt of tno material In hund and n
somewhat moro cnroful exorcise of discrimi
nation in the choice of ideas.
Tv.'o distinct elements predominate , the
romantic which is represented in the
legend of the sea , and the grotesque ,
which deals with Don Bnmbouln
and his canvass for a wife. Both of these
elements are strongly accentuated , marking
tbo return of the old order of things , which
of late years has been lost sight of lu the de
mand for burlesque , farce comedy and comic
opera pure and simple.
For those who were not present last oven-
lug the story may bo outlined as follows :
Don Bambouln , duke of Valencia , Is so ugly
that his face , as be says himself , with almost
unnecessary frequency , gives him pain , and
he has therefore been unable to get any girl
to marry him. Ho procures a talisman from
the Sea King , which , it is promised , will
cause bis personal appearance to Improve.
The Sea King falls in love with Bamboula's
niece and turns out to bo the long
loit heir to the dukedom. Ho carries
off Barnboula uad all the rest of the
character to his "lair" for no other reason
except that the scene painters have prepared
a very gorgeous lair and It Is of course ,
necessary to utilize it. The tables are , how
ever. turned upon the Sea Klug , and as
another gorgeous interior roproaentlng a
palace In Spifn has beou prepared , the action
Is promptly transferred thereto , and all the
entanglements of the two provlous nets are
finally solved , and everyone , except the un
fortunate duke , Is made happy.
The music ls very reminiscent of Offen
bach , Audran , Strauss , Mllloocker , Geneo ,
but It has been put together with a master
hand. Herein lies Mr. Stubl's nrt. Ho ex
cels In orchestration , for nnlhlng better has
been heard In a vary long time than the
duet iu the second act between the Itoro and
his sweetheart. The qunrtotto entitled
"Memory Bolls" Is a dainty bit of phrasing
and washonorcd with a double encore.
Throughout there urowalt/os In abundance ,
until ono almost tires of 'their' never
ending tondcncv to dominate the score. But
of the people who contribute to the success ol
this very clover opera I
The part of Don Bamboula Is the incarnation
of low comedy , the best comic opera role
wrlUou lu the last decade , aud Mr. Kobert K.
Graham plays It with an uuctuousness that
is positively delightful. Ho makes the role
bristle with fun nnd humor and his mako-up
U a study for a fashion pluto of stage celeb
rities.
Miss Elsie Warren , who plnys the role of
Dolores , has a voice that Is refreshingly pure
and sweet. Although UDintouHsb. In her actIng -
Ing and the manner in which she uses her
voice , she is so promising a prlina donna that
ono can readily overlook those shortcomings
-account of the perfect manner hi which
her solo * were rendered. *
Miss ICutlo Gilbert is a charming soubrcttc
and she brought to the role of Hoslta a knowl
edge of stage business qulto refreshing.
Thomas H. Porssohud a smill" part which
ho mndo stand out very prominently. Ho has
a sweet tuner voice , remarkably clear in the
upper rcfd&tcr.
Mamie Corbl looked prolty the page.
Tno only drawback to the performance was
tie slnglug of Mr , H. Lowberry , who at the
last moment was compelled to go on In Marl <
Smith's pun of the Boa King , the latter bcluf ;
forbidden to sing by his physician. Mr.
Lowberry was overweighted. The purt Is
entirely too robusto In character nnd nacdi ii :
addition to a good singer a good actor. In
both of these Mr. Low bony failed. ,
The costuming of the opera Is very prp ty
and the ncenery olToctive , Tbo chorus 13 no. I
largo , hut qulto nftlrlent. x
The orcluatra need * two or throe more r
hcaraals bo fora the entire beauty of the open
will bo clearly sot forth as Mr. Stahl In
tended.

morning n quorum appeared nt 10 : Jt ) ) and the
question of the approval of the Journal cnmo
up. Mr. Atdrlch took the floor nnd stated
that the democrats had nt hist thrown off all
disguise and disclosed thnt they had decided
to prevent nny legislation unless their wishes
In regard tp certain measures wcro ac
ceded to.
Mr. Harris said If the senate proceeded to
the consideration of the appropriation bill
the minority would consent.
Mr. Aldrich nt the conclusion of his re
marks , moved that the senate proceed to the
consideration of the resolution to amend
the rules by the adoption of
the plan of closure. Tito point
of order wns mndo on the democratic
side that the unfinished business was a mo
tion to correct the journal of Tuesday's pro
ceedings and that as It Involved the status of
Mr. AldricU's ' resolution it must bo first dis
posed of.
The vlco president Indicated his deslro to
hear argument on the point anil the po
sitions ou cuch side were stated
by various senators. Mr. Stewart
arguing strongly In the democratic side , nnd
Mr. Sherman arguing that although tlio mo
tion to correct the journal wns a privileged
question , It did not necessarily follow tnat
It must be first considered. Any other sub
ject might bo taken up iu.proferenco by a ma
jority vote.
The vice president ruled Mr. Aldricn's
motion to proceed to consideration 'of the
closure rule in order nnd overruled Mr.
Harris' point of order. Mr. Harris appealed ,
but the chair was sustained. Messrs. Teller ,
Wolcott nnd Stewart voted with the demo-
era uS.
Mr. Aldrfch moved consideration of his
resolution ( closure ) and Mr. Gorman moved
totablolt.
The vice president submitted the question
nnd n vote was taken. It resulted yeas , ' ! 0.
nays O.1 ! so the motion to table was lost and
a vote was then taken on the motion to con
sider the closure rule. It prevailed by a vote
ofIKi to 32.
Immediately , however , Mr. Harris called
up his point of order made against the closure
resolution on Tuesday ( that It wns not ex
plicit enough to moot the rule )
The vice picsldcut rulrd against him , but
Mr. Harris took nn appeal nud wns permitted
to debate It. Finally , on motion of Mr.
Aldrich , Mr. Harris' appeal was laid on the
table M to SS.
After further debates and notices of
amendments by Messrs. Stuwartnnd Gibson ,
Mr. Cockrell , who hud the floor , yielded and
the senate took a recess until tomorrow. The
object of taking a recess Instead of adjourn
ing Is supposed to bo to avoid questions being
raised as to the correction of the journal.
There will bo no journal until thor legislative
day of the 22d is finished.

WASHINGTON' , Jan , 2 . In the house this
morning Mr. Ilogcrs of Arkansas raised a
point of no quorum , but thus speaker counted
103 members and directed the reading of the
Journal.
Mr. McMillan of Tennessee Impeached the
ruling of the speaker yesterday declaring
dilatory Mr. McMillan's motion that the resolution
elution reported by the rules committee bo
committed , etc.
Messrs. Springer , Bland and others sup
ported him.
The spcakcrsald tha debate , while nom
inally upon the approval of tbo journal , had
really been upon the propriety of certain rul-
inft-s. lie dl'l not think the bickerings of the
past few days had added to the dignity of the
house. The business of a legislative body
was to legislate , and not to permit its Icgl4-
latlon to bo wantonly interrupted.
After further dcbnta the journal was ap
proved by a risiugvoto.
The District of Columbia appropriation bill
was then passed and the bouse went into
