CHICAGO , Jan , 31. [ Special Telegram to
TUB HER. ] 1 called upon President Miller
of the Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad at the
company's headquarters hero tpday nnd asked
him what effect the decision of Judge Dundy
in the Union Pncllic Injunction suit would
linte , if any , and what course his company
proposed to pursue.
"I call the decision a straddle , " snld Mr ,
Miller. "It certainly will not paw for a do-
decision. We don't ' propose to have our con-
' trxfeoido-trackcd In that way. Wo Intend
to take the cose Into nnothcr court , cither be
fore. Judge Caldwcll or Justice Brewer.
"We are bound to have n square decision
on our rights under the contract. "
"Suppose the decision goes against you ,
then what I"
"Wo feel confident \viiinlugthe case , but
in any event , wo nro bound to get into
Omaha. "
"Docs not Judge Dundy Intimate that you
nro entitled to cross this Union Pacific bridge
on equitable terms ? "
"I don't , know Just what the Judge docs
mean. The reports of his decision are not
very clear. If wo could hnvo obtained cqulta-
blo rates we would have been over long ago.
They asked us S'.KK ) a mouth for the privilege
of taking u single train dally Into the old trap
which they called a' depot. That would bo
over $10,000 a year for one train. No road
could stand that. "
"Havo you u duplicate of the plain of the
now union depot at Onmhal It Is reported
that the building now In course of construc
tion is smaller than the original plans called
for * "
"Wo have no duplicate ! , " said Mr. Miller ,
"and I am nut informed whether they hnvo
made any change. "
"Is the Milwaukee taking any Interest In
the proposed Knst Omaha brldgel"
\Voexpcettocnforco our contract
with the Union Paclllc , but If wo fall , wo
will use nny bridge that affords us proper
facilities.Thopeoplonf Omaha must see to
t It that the cmirter for the now bridge docs
not fall into the hands of p.irllcs who are In
terested in the old bridge and might want to
block the way to the construction of any
competing bridgo. "
"How about the Nebraska Central bridge !
Do you know whether the parties -wuo held
the "charter for it have sold out ! "
" 1 don't hellovo they have. One of the
.rties , Mr. Duinont , asked us to negotiate
1th them when this trouble with the Union
Pacillo commenced , but wo wmitcdtooiiforcc
our contract and could not entertain the prop
osition. , "
President Cahlo was fo'jnel at his head
quarters In the Hock Island depot and asked
whether ho .had rend the report of tlio deci
sion of Judge Dundy , MrCablosald : "Yes ,
It's Just about what wo expected. It's ' node
t'lsion ut nil. The judge simply avoids the
point at issue by striking nt technicalities. "
"You have a case of your ownl" "Yes ,
ami wo intend to press it to a decision , olthei
beforovTuOgo.CaldwoU.orJiidoJErewcrl | in
the United States "circuit court. " ' "
"What do the people of Omaha say te
this ! "
" "Will they allow the city to bo bottled ut
with only one or two outlets to the westi"
'Tho ' people of Omaha appear to no verj
much Interested , " 1 replied. "You proba
bly know that they have brought In
Junction suits to p'rcvont the delivcrj
of the bonds they voted to the Unloi
depot company and the delivery of the dcei
to the depot grounds. They are also en
outraging the building of a competing brhlgt
at Kust Omaha. "
"Isn't that bridge rather high up the
river ! " salu Mr. Cable.
"As I understand it,1' I replied , "tho wes
cud-of the bridge will bo In thu city limits.
V "Well. " bald Mr. Cable , "I nresuiiio thai
"SJhe parties who are to put up the inonoy wll
not build the bridge unless they know thai
some railroad can use it , "
Occurring to the contract with the Unloi
Pacltlc , Mr. Cable said :
. - "We were Importuned by Sidney Dlllor
% nnd General Bodge to enter Into this arrange
ment for tbo bencllt of both the Hod
Island and the Uiiloii Pacltlc. W
were to use part of their track betweei
Omahnniid I3eatrice and they were to us
part of our track. Now one man. Jay Gould
comes in and wants to abrogate the coutrac
lu the interest of his Missouri Pacltlc. II
bolsters himself up with thu oplnionof Judg
Dillon , which didn't cost him anything , be
cause Dillon Is bis sol Id tor , hired by th
year. They say now that they will coinprc
mlso with us. Hut If the contract Is. illegji
the compromise Is illegal. Wo Insist o :
-.their living up to their agreement *
They are playing for delay when they kno\
that delay Is damaging us , out wo will mak
somebody pay'for it. Wo feel sure of beiiii
sustained by the courts , notwithstanding th
opinion of Judge Dillon. "
"When the union depot question was u
in Omaha , " continued Air. Cable , "wo wor
importuned to writes loiters and send teli
grams of assurance to citizens of Omaha thu
arrangements were perfected and contract
Hlgnod , sealed und delivered for the Hoc
Island to como Into Omaha and occupy th
union depot Jointly with the Unto
Pacltlc , U. & M. and other road :
These letters nnd telegrams woi
published to your people before they votei

live up to our part of the contract. The

Chicago World's Fair.
PAIUR , Jan. 31. [ Special Cablegram to

, oday , warmly endorsed the "art students'
'unu" plan proposed by Mr. John Armstrong
Jhandlor , the husband of Amelle Hives , the
Virginia authoress , in order to give ilnanclal
aid to deserving American students who
may wish to pursue their studies in Put-Is.
As the plan is understood hero , Mr. Clinnd-
ler purposes to raise nsuftlclentsum of money
.0 guarantee u five years' course of study
abroad , 4 = 830 or S'JOO ' a year , being considered
itfllcicnt , for this purpose In each
rase. M. Bnrtholdi said that the
scheme was nn excellent ono nnd that It
ivotild do much to elevate the artistic level in
the United States. Ho added thnt if the
scheme contemplates the sojourn of artists
anywhere in Europe their soiourn should be
n Paris and not In Italy. Paris , M. Unr-
iholdl claims , is the art center of the world ,
and hero In the future should bo the Ameri
can prlx de Paris. The American students
ore sure of a hearty welcome in Paris.
Referring to the delay in constructing the
buildings for the world's fair in Chicago , M.
DnrUiolill snld that the tlmo before the openIng -
Ing of the fr.ir was so short that ho had aban
doned his Intention to offer an exhibit. An
artist , ho said , cannot work under pressure.
There Is niueti that is realty injurious in the
progress of line arts In tbo United States , In
the favorite American passion to do
tbiugs quickly. A great internation
al fair should grow slowly and
carefully If It is to bo u grand .artistlc . suc-
" '
parntlons for Clio exhibition of IS'JM must be
made must bo credited the weakest side of
the undertaking , namely the danger of being
crude. M , Dartholdl Is nt present giving the

Mr. Joseph Pultlzer , proprietor of the
New Vork World to the city of Paris
The group represents Washington and Ln-
Fnyetto grasping hands , General Lnlfayctto
holdingin.his dlscncaccd hand the entwined

Tbo group will ho cast in bron/o and will bo

Mr. Purnell's prolongation of the Irish im
broglio Is keeping Mr. John Munroe , the
American banker of Paris , in hot water. Mr.
Miniroo Is continually being questioned In
connection with the Irish funds in his bank.
Ho says :
"Tho money Is being deposited In the
names of Individuals , I nm supposed to know
nothing of the political bearings of the ques
tion Involved. This Is my invariable reply. "
Kossuth'b physician and former secretary
reports that the patriot is In the best of
health and that although elghtv-nino years
old. Kossuth works at his desk eight hours
dnlly uml finishes the day with a gnmo of
billiards , which he plnys'wlth a steadv hand
and generally wins. Kossuth is about to
issue the fourth volume of his memoirs , cov
ering tbo period of the Polish rising in 1M54.
Ho has prepared four further volumes , but
prefers that they should not bo pub
lished during hi' lifetime. There is
no doubt that Kossuth Is in rather straight
ened circumstances , as ho lost all his small
capital by Investing In a building company in
Naples.
Ills stated that Jliss Eames hns contracted
with Augustus Harris to appear during the

Count von Wnldorsco desired to command
nn army corns. The emperor in the mean
time has given him only the chain of the
Order of Hohonzollern. Ills successor as chief
of staff will probably bo General von
Haeseler , who has the highest reputation ns
n strategist. General Von Albedyll will retire -
tire from the command of the Klghth army
corps on April 1 , after ho celebrates the
jubilee of his entrance Into the army. Baron
Mcorsholdt will also retire from the com
mand of the guards nnd will be placed upon
the superannuated list.
Minister Mayback has tendered bis resig
nation.
The emperor's restless nature , spells of
irritability nnd uncertain moods nro duo to
physical causes , which make him a dlftlcult
master to servo. The court physicians have
strongly advised him to desist lu the use of
tobacco. The emperor persists In smoking
lots ofclgurs dally.
Brs. Hiuul , Outtman nnd Erlich inform the
medical society that nn examination of the
blood of disproves
twenty-eight different patients
proves the theory that ICoch's lymph causes
the formation of tuborculo bacilli In the
blood , no bacilli being discovered.
Thoscml-oniclal press makes bitter criti
cisms and suggestions regarding the visit of
Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand to the
czar. Bismarck's organ asserts that the Aus
trian government alms at approach ment with
Russia to the prejudice of Germany. The
newspapers generally acenso Bismarck of
trying to create mistrust of the triple alll-
anco in order to produce an International
crisis , whereupon howould again lift him
self to the position of dictator.
Count Herbert Bismarck Is in Rome visil-
ng Crispl. It is surmised thnt he Is acting
as agent for his father In his projects to main
tain personal relations with leading states
men concerned lu the triple alliance. The
publication to a great extent of the aditrcss
by the rector of the mechanical academy , nd-
rocntlngtho holding of a world's ' exposition
in Berlin in IS'JO has created the belief that
the emperor favors the project.

"No further ofTort will bo made to tnko up
ho the closure resolution or the elections
> 111. Both may bo considered permanently
out of the \vny of the sonnto. I bollovo the
country understands that wo nro defeated by
eight republicans , who refuse to bo bound by
caucus ties or party pledges. "
The above Is what Senator Aldrlch said to
rour correspondent this afternoon. Mr.
Aldrlch , as chairman of tlio coimnittco on
rules , has charge of the closure resolution ,
mid is therefore ! keeper of the elections bill ,
for without tlio one tlio other cannot bo voted
upon. Senator Aldrlch continued : "When I
returned from Khodo Island tonight I thought
of making another effort to cull up tlio closure
resolution nnd then the elections hill for the
express purpose of placing the republicans in
opposition squarely upon record , hut I llnd
hero is no necessity of that , us it
s thought thcro could bo no
jood conic of such a stop nnd
there would bo a waste of tlmo. It may bo
contended by some of the capricious eight
that th&y did not vote against closure or the
elections bill , but they did. They voted in
first instance to lay aside the elections bill
when they itncw it could not bo tnkcn up
again. They voted squarely to lay nsido ths
closure resolution when they know It
meant the measure's death. What is
more , they refuse to say now ttmt
they will vote at any time to tnko up either
of these propositions. They nro therefore
against both of them just the same as If they
had voted no when the closure resolution and
the elections bill were before the senate for
final ndoption. "
The eight senators referred to nro Messrs.
.Tones and Stewart , both of Nevada , Walcott
and Teller of Colorado , Wnshburn of Minnesota
seta , Cameron of Pennsylvania , Ingalls of
Kaunas and Stanford of California.
"What effect will thodofoat of tuo elections
bill have upon the republican party ! " re
pented the senator In answer to the question ,
"It has already had the effect of creating a
great deal of feeling. I have never seen so
much fooling among republicans In Khodo
Islnnd , nnd I learn It Is the same
throughout the couatry- . They nro
stirred up nnd are determined to
have an organization which will win next
year wlthouttho aid of these who betrayed
their party's interests. The feeling ngalnst
the republicans who cast their strength in
opposition to closure nnd the elections bill Is
Intense. As party men the eight have been
tabooed.- is rough on thorn , but one of the
saving features of tuo party. It Is becoming
well understood that tlio earnest republicans
In the senate did all they could to pass a
bill which would guarantee pure elections eras
as nearly pure as Is possible , mid It .is bccom-
lug understood that-'tho efforts made wore
aborted by.men who were elected to the son-
uU bjvropuWlpans from republican states to
act n the capacity of'republicans. . Neither
the party nor tbomajoilty of republicans In
the senate can be. held responsible for the
fulso actions of its Individual members. "
Early this forenoon Senator Aldrlch , after
consultation with Senators Hoar , Spooner
and other staunch friends of the elections
bill , went over on the democratic
side of the chamber and assured Messrs.
Gorman , Carlisle nnd other leaders of the
democratic wing of the senate thnt the do-
sure resolution and elections bill would rest
whoi-o they are oa the vice president's table
and no attempt would bo made to tnko them
up for any purpose. Messrs. Gorman and
Carlisle Immediately proceeded to the house
and convoyed this news to tlio dem
ocratic leaders of that body and ad
vised them not to longer otter any
opposition to legislation. They encountered
a few southern democrats like Mr. Mills who ,
while pleased to learn of the now conditions
In the senate , objected to yielding the oppor
tunities of forcing an extra session of con
gress. The southern candidates for the
spcnltcrship fear that delay In organizing the
next house will ruin their campaign , as a
doubt is arising in the minus of northern
democrats whether It will bo advisable to
take any man from the south to preside over
a bouse which will bo In session during the
next presidential cainpalgn
As to the prospects for nn extra session of
congress , Senator Aldrloh said in the conver
sation quoted above : "There Isnot the slightest -
est probability of an extra session. Wo nro
further advanced with the appropriation bills
than usual and can easily finish them all be
fore March 4. Only a failure to pass the ap
propriation bills could induce an extra ses
sion. No , tlio republicans do not fear the
worst from an extra session. On the con
trary they would faro the best. It would
place the democrats on the defensive. Hav
ing' provoked an extra session they would
have to warrant it nnd defend their action
and non-action. "
THE OMAHA IlltinOE HILL.
Senator Manderson called up the Omaha
bridge bill this morning with the amend
ments as agreed upon by the senate commit
tee on commerce. Uilring the progress of
the reading of the bill { Senator Manilorson
suggested that a date later than July 1 , 18' ) : ! ,
should bo Ilxed for the completion of the
bridgo. Ho was antagonized by Senator
Paddock upon this proposition , who said that
that date would bo nearly-two and a half
years from the date of tlio passage of the
bill and that ho had seen statements on the
part of the projectors of tbo enterprise indi
cating their readiness to commence the con
struction of the bridge immediately on the
passage of the bill , and that it
would bo llnlshed much earlier ttmn
the date named. Senator Manderson
then assented , but later i ndlcatoa
that ho thought the time was short. Senator
Paddock again said thnt ho considered two
and one-half years ample tlmo and that his
Idea was to so limit the tlmo for the com
mencement and completion of the bridge that
It will bo a bridge to bo constructed and notn
bridgo'to bo speculated upon. Senator Man-
doraon said that as congress would very man
ifestly extend the tlmo If the bridge was
partly constructed by July I , 189J : , ho cared
nothing about the matter and was willing to
lot It go as it stood , The bill was then re
ported ns nuinndod ami the amendments con
curred in and a committee of conference ap
pointed to incot a similar committee from the
house.
I'llESIDKST HAltlllSON's ' AFFLICTION' .
Few presidents have ever been culled upon
to bear so many deep nllllctions as has Pros !
dent Harrison. The death of Mrs. Scotl
Lord , tbo sister of Airs. Harrison , occurred
in the executive mansion but a few month :
since. Three deaths followed In quick suc
cession in the household or immediate fumilj
of Secretary Illtiliic. To President Harrison
was assigned the sad duty of insisting Sucre
tnry Tracy IH the great borcavomcnt whlcl
bofcl the secretary of the navy when hl <
residence burned and took the lives of hi. '
wife and daughter. The president was almost
constantly at the side of Secretary Traej
' - and cared foi
for several'days Anally
him at his own ttrcsldo at the executive man-
slon. To the president U camu the duty U
convey to Mrs.Vlndoin at the tnblo of Post
master General Wanumnkor the almost tragic
death of the secretary of the treasury. Ii
all of these ordeals Prc ldont Harrison ha :
evinced a tender affection more like thnt of i
father for a son than that of u ruler of tno na
Hem for an otllcial advisor , He has been ten
dcr In hU love for these lu aflllctlon and h&
been BO attentively affectionate that ho ha :
won the love of Washington. Surely tin
hand of death bos dwelt h cavil ;
upon htm , but ns surely hn\ \ 1
without complaint , but with ndmly
devotion responded with the host gifts na
has bestowed. President Hnrrlion hai never
been open or ostentatious In uny of these
trying ordeals , but hns been so modest so far
as tlio public Is concerned that few outside
the Immediate families visited by nflllcllon
know at the ttmo his acts of devotion. Ho
has shown a touch of affection In the death
of Secretary \Ylmloninnd a depth of sorrow
not seou In a public ofllccr since tlio days of
Lincoln.
FOll NCIUU9KA IWOUTIt RUrfKUKIM.
Mr , Oorsoy accompanied the now Nebraska
delegation to congress before the sub-coin-
mittco of the house committee on agriculture
this morning , where they participated In an
argument in favor of nn appropriation of
11,000,000 for the relief of the drouth
sufferers In Nebraska and these who have
sustained losses on account of the Sioux out
break. The argument put forth by Messrs ,
lir.van , MelColghan and Kcm , M anticipated
In TIIK linn's ' dispatches , was that Inasmuch.
as the government had received from the
sufli'rcrs over $4.0'.Hi)00 ) ) slnco they
settled upon the public ) domain , It should bo
willing to assist them in losses for which
they were not accountable. The sti b-comiult-
toe was unable to determine whether It had
Jurisdiction of the subject , nnd there will be
another hearing bv the sub-committee on
Monday. It Is believed thatthosubjeetwillbo
transferred to the committee on appropria
tions.
Not nlona Is Nebraska's credit to suffer
fromitho representations being made here by
the committee asking an appropriation for
drouth sufferers , but the action of the legis
lature Is havinir Its elToet In the east. ,
A PEIISUXAI. rittvii.i : < ! K
Mr. Uland of Missouri hns notlllod his
friends that he will rise In the house next
week and under the guarantee of a personal
privilege move to discharge the committee
on coinage , weights nnd measures from fur
ther consldoratidn of the trco coinage bill and
bring it before the house for immediate
action.
Speaker Heed begun this afternoon to pre
pare an opinion declaring the motion out of
order. The spo'ikor Buys a member of the
house has the privileges "which the constitu
tion nnd the rules of the house guarantee to
him ns n member of the houso. Ho then hns
the privileges of u member of a committee.
It would bo necessary , ho says , to show thnt
the prlvllgcs of membership of the
house or of committee wcro being In
fringed upon or Interfered with In
some way In order to make a motion
to discharge n committee from consid
eration of a measure a privileged
motion. Speaker Heed contends further that
If ho should rule In order such n motion It
would lead to Interminable trouble ami con
fusion without limit ; that every man who
was not satisfied with tbo time 'token by a
committee for consideration of a pension ,
bridge or any other bill could rise lu Ids seat
at any tlmo nnd ask the discharge of the
committee from further consideration.
Just what turn Mr. Hland will take In
meeting the argument ho does not know , but
ho Is already advised thnt his motion will bo
overruled nnd as to the grounds upon which
it will bo overruled. He will in any event
take an appeal from the decision of the chair.
The appeal may bo sustained. There nro a
number of republican members who are
piqued at the speaker , and it is expected
that they will plvo evidence of
their feeling by voting against the
decision. Tbo republicans nt present have a
majority of nineteen In the house , but owing
to the absence of some members without
pairs it will be necessary for thirteen repub
licans to vote for the appeal and against the
ruling to give the democrats success
oven though that side of the house
votes solidly against the ruling. It Is be
lieved by Mr. Hland that there will bo n num
ber of free coinage republicans who will feel
obliged to vote against the ruling In the In
terest of the bill to bo taken into consideration
tionnnd that no democrat will vote to sus
tain the speaker oven though opposed to. free
coinage.
'
The contest will bo lively if not oxe'lttrsr ,
and Its outcome is considered doubtful , al
though the republicans generally are conn-
dent that the ruling of tlio speaker will bo
.sustained. The speaker Is handicapped by
having nearly n Hundred moil on his side who
will retire from congress on March 4 and who
are therefore not so easily bound by caucus
action or party obligation as these who expect
to con tin tin In public life.
