mcnt against the rteht of the sonnto to In-
Ycstlgato iitul Mr. Hawicy arguing In support
of that right and favor of the proposed In-
Tostlgatlon.
Mr. I/xlgo offered a resolution directing
the secretary of state to Inform the senalo
by whoso nutliorlty the American flan was
hauled down from the government building
at Honolulu on April 12.
"Let that resolution Ho over until tomor
row , " said Mr. Gorman , nml It went over.
An amendment to Mr. Lodge's Tcsolutlon
was offered by Mr. Butler , adding to It the
words "and nlao by who o authority the
sanio was hohtcd on said building. "
Senators Harris mid Sherman , who had
been appointed n committee to wait Ux | > n the
president , reported that they had performed
that duty nnd had been Informed by the
president that no had no further communica
tion for the senate at Its present session.
Dolrmlrd III * Olllrlul Act * .
Mr. Chandler , rising to a question of per
sonal privilege , snld that , ho had not dis
tinctly understood yesterday whether the
aonator from Indiana ( Mr. Voorhecs ) had
said ho "might have heard" or that tie "had
heard" certain statements concerning his
action as seerclary of the navy. The Con.
gresslonal Kccord this morning did not con
tain the senator's speech , but ho found In
the Washington Post the following verbatim
report ; " 1 have heard it alleged of the sena
tor from Now Hampshire very grave and
ugly things. I have heard men say that
while ho was secretary of the navy ho built
three or four ships which mudo but ono
trip to the bottom of the sea. I have heard
it'alleged that the contractors retired from
their work rich , contented and famous all
at the same tltno. "
Mr. Chandler said ho thought bo had kept
pretty good track of the various attacks
niadoon him front time to time , both per
sonal nnd onii-ial , but that ho had never
heard of those charges before. The only
ships that were built while he was secretary
of the navy were the Chieuco , the Boston ,
the Atlanta and the Dolphin , and these
ships ( ho thought ; vtcro very much afloat at
this day. When the review would take
placoln Hamilton Koads nml In Now York
fiarbor these ships would appear as line ships
ns existed in tbo world , of the period of con
struction. The Dolphin would contain the
president and his cabinet and many senators
and ho devoutly hoped that she would not
go , as she had novcr gone , to the bottom of
tlio sea. Contracts for these ships had been
made with Mr. John Uoach anil it could not
bo to him that the senator alluded , as ono
who had retired "rich , contented and
famous. " John Itoach had become
n failed contractor through the Injus
tice of Ills ( Mr. Chandler's ) successor
ns secretary of the navy. His
affairs had gone Into the hands of assignees
and ho had dlod a broken-hearted man. ilo
desired to Interpose a distinct denial of Mr.
Voorlioes' charges and deny also any impu
tation that had found its way into the pub
lic prints affecting either his personal or his
ofllclal conduct.
Ho Did Not Moiiu Anything.
Mr. Voorhecs explained that his remarks
were Intended as an Illustration of the po
sition taken by the senator from Now Hamp
shire nnd other senators on that side. The
language which bo had used in reference to
Mr. Chandler ho had hoard used by others ,
nnd not a very remote period from the pres
ent time.
Mr , Hansbrough also rose to n question of
personal privilege and began by expressing
the hope that the senate would not adjourn
without giving his colleague ( Mr. Itoach )
the opportunity asked by him yesterday.
Mr. Voorhccs interrupted and said that
the senator from North Dakota was not
speaking to a question of personal privilege.
The presiding ofllcer ( Mr. Faulkner ) ruled
that the senator from North Dakota had the
floor nnd must bo the Judge of what ho
.should say.
Mr. Hansbrough thought that the matter
was ono of personal privilege. It rotated to
his colleague and his state. No iwliticnl
party in thosenato had a right to deny the
privilege requested by his colleague. Ho
liopcd that the senate would not adjourn
without giving him the opportunity to clear
himself of the charges against him , and bo
asked unanimous consent to have a vote
taken on the resolution. Objection was
niado by several democratic senators.
The senate then proceeded to the con-
bidorallon of executive business.
Thanked the Vlro I'rcildmit.
At 5:25 : Iho doors were reopened and a
resolution was offered by Mr. Mandorson
nnd agreed to , tendering the thanks of the
senate to the vice president for the impar
tiality and courtesy with which ho has nro-
slded over the senate during the present ex
traordinary session.
Mr. Gcorgo made an effort to have f5,000
sot aside out of the contingent fund for the
expenses of an investigation by the commit
tee on agriculture during the recess. A good
deal of opposition wus imulo to it on the
democratic sldo of the chamber , and finally ,
ns n short way out of that and other pending
difficulties , Mr. Cockrell moved that the sen
ate adjourn sine die.
The vote was taken nnd the motion was
defeated yeas , 23 : nays , 23 ( a tie ) . Party
lines were ignored in this vote , six repub
licans voting in the affirmative nnd eleven in
the negative , while seventeen 'democrats
voted for It and twelve against it.
A motion to adjourn sine die was then
made by Mr. Hill and agreed to without a
division. The vice president said , before
announcing the result of the vote Just taken :
" 1 beg to express my earnest appreciation
of the uniform courtesy shown mo by the
members and officers of this body during the
session now closing. For the resolution per
sonal to myself , Kindly adopted by the sen
ate , I am profoundly grateful. In accord
ance with the vote Just taken I now declare
this extraordinary session of the senate ad
journed without day. "
JCviiry Xomlmition C < mllrmoil.
The senate held its last executive session
this afternoon and every nomination made
by the president up to date was confirmed ,
with the exception of Hudson Lannon , to bo
United States marshal for Delaware , which
wns acnl In today. Under the rule a single
objection was sufficient to carry tbo nomina
tion over lor a day , nnd Senator Hlggins of
Delaware made that objection and Insisted.
The sonato.by its action In executive session ,
also failed to make public the text of the
treaty recently negotiated with Russia ami
that convention along with the treaty with
Franco remains among the secret archives of
the State department and the executive
clerk of the senate.

The ' 93 meeting of the Nebraska Associa
tion of Trotting and Pacing Horse Breeders
will bo held August 7 , 8 , , 10 and 11 , nnd
Omaha stands a splendid show of securing
thu samo. The city offering tbo greatest
Inducements will draw the prize , ns it Is to
go to that city which makes tbo highest bid.
There Is a general expression among the
horsemen of the state that Omaha , for many
good reasons , Is entitled to the plumb , nnd a
determined effort will bo mndo to that end.
Really this Is the must important turf
event that takes place within the state's
limits , us It Is n competition confined ex
clusively to the local breeders , and cannot
help but redound profitably to the city lucky
and enterprising enough to secure it. It has
never failed to assemble together all the
prominent stock breeders nnd prominent
horsemen of the state , and the cltlzeus of
Omaha should allow nothing to interfere
with her success In Ihis regard. This Is iho
metropolis of the state , and the homo of
many wealthy horse owners , there Is a mag
nificent track here , and it would bo u dis
credit to the city lo allow iho mcelln ? to go
to any other place. Parties Interested will
call upon the business men tomorrow and it
is hoped every encouragement possible will
bo extended them.

Cnlilu" Show KVIT OrKi iil/.oil.
Peter Jackson , champion puncher of Aus.
tralla , and Iho man who is fairly crying for
another whack ut Champion Jim Corbott , will
reach the city next Wednesday for a three
nights engagement as Uncle Tom at the Far-
nam Street theater with Stockwoll's Uncle
Tom's Cabin company. But Peter , the
Midnight Mars , is not the solo attrac
tion of 'this combination , for with him
como the peerless Charles 13. Davles. known
from world's end lo world's end as Iho
"Parson , " his manager , and genial , indomit
able Joseph Bartlett Choynski , his sparring
partner , who is just now panting to get a
whnclc at Robert Fitzslmmons' Jaw , nnd botli
of whom will assist the colored pugilistic
actor in the presentation of Harriet Bcccher
Stowe's Incomparable creation. The Parson
will do the auctioneer , while Joseph Bartlett
will execute the role of Haley , the slave
driver.
Peter , Ihcy say , is nearly as good an actor
as ho is a fighter , which is speaking volumes
to his credit , ami is being greeted by
jammed bouses everywhere he goes. This is
probably duo , howovcr , moro to the fact that
he is ono of the greatest , if not
tlio greatest pugilist living , moro than
it " is to any refined histrionic
ability ho may possess. Tlio whole country
knows that the black antipodean once mndo
n draw with the conqueror of John L. Sulli
van , and that , too , when ho was moro fit for
the bed than the prize ring , and this , coupled
with the fact that over since that event he
lias been exerting himself to his wits ends to
induce Pompadour Jim to try him on once
moro and forever prove who is the master ,
has engendered in nil quarters an interest to
see bun that knows no bounds ; . Of course it
will bo a treat to see Gentleman Peter , for
ho is u gentleman , maugrc bis .sable skin , in
n character over dear to the American
heart , but n greater ono to see him in gladia
torial togs tackle iho doughty- Joseph
Choynski in their three-round go between
Iho llrst and second nets. They make a great
set-to and the audience never fails to enthuse
to nn incandescent pitch , when the two
giants "mix" matters In the ilnalc. That
Peter will receive a rousing welcome hero
goes without saying.
STATE SI100T1NO TOURNAMENT.
OmalinVI11 Kntcrtn In u TliroiiR of Shotgun
Artists Nnxt Month.
One of the premier sporting events of the
season , so far as Omaha goes , will bo the sev
enteenth annual shooting tournament of iho
Nebraska State Sportsmen's association ,
which conies off on May ! SJ , 21 and 25. Many
ol the crack shols of Colorado , Wyoming ,
Dakota , Kansas , Iowa and Missouri , as" well
as from the eastern and middle stales will
attend. Of course most of the shooting
clubs of the stale will send largo delcgalions
and altogether Iho affair promises lo bo the
best yet held by this old and time-honored
organization. A number of Iho cily's promi
nent business men will contribute un outside
fund lo bo hung up as added money , and the
local sporting men having tbo Immediate
arrangements In hnnC will spare neither
time nor expense in making the tourney a
complete and unqualified success. Among
these specially interested are Frank Par-
melee of tlio Collins Gun company , tlio
secretary of the association ; Billy Townsend
of the Frank Cross Gun store ; W. E. Nason ,
the always enterprising devotee of the gun
and trap ; John J. Hardin , prominent for
years in such matters ; W. II. S. Hughes ,
Jeff Bedford , Stocklon Iloth. Goodley
Brucker , Frank Cross , Frank Fogg , Fred
Blake , Q. W. Loomis , Hurry Reed ,
Fred Montgomery , J. A. MoDougul.
Billy Brewer and scores of other repre
sentative businessmen. The last tournament
was held in GranU Island , and thanks lo Iho
unllring ufforlii of ox-Secretary Stouffcr and
W. II. Harrison , was n splendid success.
During the meeting it is quito probable a
session of the leading sportsmen present will
bo bold to discuss the always Interesting
game nnd lish protection and propagation.

CIIICAOO , HI. , April lit. To the Sporting
Editor of TUB BEE : I expected to hear from
you about what you thought of my go with
Dawson. Why didn't you como over ? Butte
to got down lo business : I can lick lhat fel
low at any stage in the gamo. You know 1
am not giving lo boasting about who I can
beat , but after a trial like that of last Sat
urday night I nm justified in a litllo indul
pence. I tell you I can Jlck him sure , ami
don't you over make a mistake on that henu.
I adopted different tactics , and instead ol
allowing him to do the rushing I did the
most of it myself. I hit him hard In the
neck Iwico in Ihe llrst round , that almost
got him , nnd the third time 1 landed I made
the prettiest knock down you ever saw. In
the second round ho fought bettor anil
thumped mo two or three good ones , hut in
the third 1 fought him onto the ropes , ami
then knocked him down uguin. Of course ho
is a good ono. but I nm conridcnt that I can
beat him in any kind of a match. But there
is litllu in talk , we are matched , and when
Iho light comes off you can Judge for your
self whether I know when I have a good
thing. Will bo in Omaha for a short visit
soon. TOM.MV RYAN.

of TUB BEE : As the Interest In rifle shoot
ing has been somewhat lax for some time
and as a great many of iho exports are
lahirjng under the hallucination that I am
dead and buried since my defeat at the
hands of .John Potty , some four or live
months ago , I Indito these few lines to con
vince them that 1 am very much alive anil
\\illinirlo shoot a match with any man in

At L'-I5 : p. m. the game wns called , Omaha
having won the toss and taken thoibull. By
julck work of the rlghl half and fullbacks
ho ball was pushed through the Peru Una
ami a touch down scored In less than live
minutes. II. Oury made a successful goal
kick.
The ball was again placed In the center.
\ioritz gained 11 vo yards. The ball was llien
i.'issed lo Neal , who made a brilliant punl lo
Jmuhu's forty-yard line , but losing the ball.
I. Oury attempted an end runbut wns nicely
nckled by Davenport. Ho tnon gained llf-
tcen yards and ibo ball was pushed lo Peru's
goal. N
The ball agalujwcnt lo Iho ccnlor nnd Peru
started bravely , but lost nil It gained when
S'yo was badly hurl , having a rib fractured ,
liuy took his place.
By a brilliant run Burdlck scored a touch
down.
Once moro Peru took the ball to the center
and started in line shape with a thirly-vurd
run by Majors. Hero Iho llrst half ended ,
with a score of 11 to U In Omaha's favor.
In Iho second half Peru started the ball ,
and by several swift passes cut Hod it to
Omaha's live-yard line , but here they wore
brought to a halt by a solid wall of men ,
which tooK Ihem to the other end o the
grounds in short order , scoring six moro
points for Omaha.
Peru started in the center and forced tlio
ball about live yards , when Davenport
broke through the line and made the most
brilliant play of the game , making a run
from center to Omaha's goal without being
touched. This was six for Peru , nml tiow
the cartli shook. Three hundred Normal
people and us many moro Nebraska City
friends cheered until Omaha's big left guard
began to shed tours and then the game went
on.
Omaha scored the next touch down by ad
mirable double weago work in less than live
minutes.
For the last time Peru look Iho ball , but
soon lost it to J. Oury and by quick and
plucky wedge work Omaha forced the ball
across the Peru goal line Just us the time ex
pired. The score was Omaha , 30 ; Peru , ti.
Prof. Sheldon slid Iho Peru loam was
sadly lacking in knowledge of Ibo rules ,
und in ability to douctive team work. Its
Individual players are better than many of
its opponents , but it lost the game by the
easy team work of Iho Omaha boys. Peru
was handicapped by Iho loss of Its center ,
who hud his leg broken the day before tbo
game , und by the loss of Nye during the
early part of the game.
Much ill-feeling was caused by the unfair
ness of tlio High school In lllling Ihreo of
lls most important places with IIIHH who are
not High school students.
Prof. Norton , principal of the Normal
school , says lhat bis boys , he is confident ,
can boat u high school team , und ho Intends
to secure them such a chance soon.
The Omaha crowd reached homo with
flying colors about D:45 : p. in.

, Wyo. , April 15. [ Special to Tun
\KK. \ ] The disappearance of Charles Basch ,
the Johnson county ranchman , has been
much discussed In the western press , and
lumcrous representatives of that .common
class of partisans , who having no evidence to
take Into court , prefer to try their eases In
he newspapers , have made it the excuse for
a great deal of reckless mlsstatemcnt of a
case that till lately was pending In the ills-
rlct court of Clntali county. Wyoming. Now
the ease Is at an end nnd it is time the public
should know the real facts and that an at
tempt should bo made to remove the en
tirely false Impressions sought to be created
n advance by the falsehoods and cunning
iiuendocs scattered broadcast through the
country.
In December , 1S01 , two men wore shot on
ho road between HuiTalo and a point about
sixteen miles south. They had been shot
from ambush on different days and at differ
ent points on tbo county mad. It was {
claimed by the opponents of the stockmen
and the rustling fraternity that these men
were peaceful and law-abiding citi/ens and
innocent of any offense against the stock
laws. If this were true it seems strange that
ihoy at once assumed that both were killed
oy the contri vance of the Stockmen's .issocia *
; ion. notations between the stockmen and
; ho rustlers had been badly strained for a
eng time , and a previous affair in
the fall of the year had brought matters al
most to n crisis. Humors of vigilantes and
lynching parties , current on all sides , had
made the rustlers suspicious and nervous ,
nnd they had been gradually drawing to
gether at various centers In the country for
iiutunl protection and profit.
When the news of the death of Tlsdale
readied them from the city they flocked into
Buffalo In a state of great excitement. The
Stockmen's association was denounced as the
nstigittor of the murders , and the names oil
imminent stockmen in town were openly
jhargeu in connection with the crime. The
alter took proper precautions for their own
safety , and awaited developments.
Did Not Look for thu Murderer.
Almost as soon as the tragedy was dis
covered it was whispered that the perpetra
tor was in the city , and that no further
search need be mtule for him. As a matter
of fact no attempt was made to follow the
guilty parties beyond the scene of the
tragedy , although subsequent revelations
show that this was a serious oversight on
the part of the authorities.
Frank Canton wasin the city at the time ,
recovering slowly from a long and severe at
tack of rhcumntisiu , und it wus upon bun
that suspicion luiU'fustcned. No man had
been more prominent as the bane of cattle
thieves and criminals ; no one was moro
Justly feared by the lawless element of the
"
west. His removal " "would bo a godsend to
the stock thieves. Accordingly , the wish in
many cases being father to tbo thought , it
was openly charged -that Canton was the
guilty man , and it was alleged that a near
neighbor of his had s cn and recognized him
at the scene of tbo Tisdalo murder. Canton
at once called upon sbjiu * of the loading rus
tlers to prefer a charge against him , in order
that ho might meet 'And rnfuto the slander.
Tills , after considerable hesitation , they did.
and Canton surrendered to the sheriff and
was held for examination" .
The night preceding the trial a plot to
shoot him through'tho window of tbo sher
iff's room , whore tubpassed tho- night , was
formed , but did not materialize , although
the assassin 3at up'all night trying to screw
up Ills courage. It jsjinedlcss to say that his
friends were equally on the alert. At the
trial the prosecution produced Charles
Basch , the man whoso disappearance lias
given rise to so much comment. Buseh bad
been a witness at the coroner's inquest on
Tlsdalc's body , and in consequence of some
remarks he had dropped was asked whether
ho could swear that the horse ridden by the
man whom lie encountered at the scene of
the killing wus Canton's horso. Ho replied
that ho could not so swoar.
Ills .Memory Wan Refreshed.
In the preliminary hearing before the Jus
tice of the pcaeo he said In the course of
cross-examination : "I know whoso horse it
was. It was Canton's horse ; I was a wit
ness nt the coroner's inquest ; said then I
wouldn't swear positive about the horse ; am
willing to so swear now. "
What was the reason for this chnngot
How had his memory been refreshed ! After
the discovery of Tisdalo's body a searching
party went out. With this nnrty Basch was
compelled to go , much against his will.
When ho returned IIG wns ready to swear to
the identity of the horse.
This wus all the evidence tcndimr to con
nect Frank Canton with the affair. The
statement in the Choyemio Leader by a Buf
falo correspondent , that Basch on his way
to town mentioned Canton's name to the wit
ness , Freeman , did not appear in evidence ,
and the assertion in the same letter that
Tisdalo the previous night expressed the
fear that iCanton would kill him , is untrue.
Freeman , who is credited with this state
ment , swore that Tisdalo , while talking on
the subject , mentioned no names.
The defense was an alibi. Men of the
highest character und reputation accounted
for Canton's movements during every ten
minutes of the day on which the tragedy
took place. These witnesses were kept in
custody till they went on the stand to testify
and could not hear each other's evidence.
They were all rigorously cross-examined and
no honest man questions the veracity of any
of them.
KllHtlurn Not SutUiliul.
This nmplo refutation of the charge did
not , however , satisfy the rustlers , and the
night after his release another plot was
formed against his lifo. The exact spot at
which the fatal shot was to bo llrcd wns
fixed upon , but Canton was a dangerous man
to mix up with a miss meant certain death ,
and the nerve of the Into'iding assassin
failed.
Canton remained in Buffalo for several
days after this , and no further charge was
mndo against him. When ho left for the
railroad in company with Fred Hesse , an
other leading stockman , and Sam Suther
land , the three rode out in broad da.light. .
They were followydj/y a party of rustlers ,
whoso intention was. to kill them. Hero
again the white IWatlier saved them , and
while their pursucyfUjwore seeking an am
bush , the three stockmen , by bard tiding.
reached the railroau. The disappointed
rustlers came back to Buffalo " and openly dis
cussed the affair. * -
Then a fresh wriwnt was sworn out
against Canton , and > OK ho had lott the state
the governor wus asked to make a requisi
tion for his arrest und surrender on a pre
cisely similar charge. It was re
fused as unnecessary , Canton having
promised the sheriff to return
when wanted , and Canton shortly
afterwards cama iirto.Wyoming , went before
a Judge of thn district court und gave bonds
for his appearance In the sum of ! 0,000.
When the application was made it was
alleged that additional evidence had been
procured. This proved to IKJ false. No ad
ditional evidence wiistA'.vt.T forthcoming. It
is true that certain. . .Ingeniously concocted
stories wore set alloat to fix the crime on
the accused , but It appears that' when they
were offered for Bnsch's approval ho de
clined to support them.
Nothing daunted by his refusal , the same
stories were Industriously circulated for the
bcueiit of the credulous nud vindictive in tbo
community. The latter were assured that
llam'h was prepared U > swear to their truth ,
and many accepted the assurance.
Then llaxcli llsiiiiio | rinl.
This took place more th n n vo.ir ago. la
the interval , came the "Invasion. " Meanwhile -
while it is imKsstblo | to f ay what pressure
had been brought to I HUT on Basch to in
duce him to f-\ther lhe.se cut-and-drie.l
stories. At all events those who know
the man best , were thu l < nst sur
prised at his dlsipp-suranco. His eyesight
was notoriausly defective ; hi * ovMuno
with regard to the identity ot the horsa
which ho claimed to have rccoxnlicd at a
distance of sixty -yards , was different b-
faro tlio jiMiIro nml before the coroner , nnd
it is oNM | to question whether ho would have
ventured to repeat It In court
Some writers wish to convoy the Impres
sion that tlascli went away to avoid giving
evidence. This could hardly bo iho case ,
because before his Illght It was n
matter of common knowlodco that the
prosecuting attorney Intended to dismiss
the caso. Formal written notice was given
to Canton's attorney on February ' .M that
the case would bo dismissed and this was
before Hasch's departure ) . Basch had noth
ing to fear unless It was a possible Indict
ment for perjury , or the Ill-will of those nt
whoso instigation he had declined to perjure
himself further. As for the story that
Hatch was conducted out of thostuto by
way of Douglas , In charge of two officers ,
thl * Is entirely disproved oy the statement
of Howard Holes , who saw him and con
versed with him In Cheyenne.
There was no evidence for the prosecution ,
and a perfect detcnsc. This is the true
reason why the case was dismissed.

If there is ono thing moro Utah another
which characterizes tlio now Commercial
club of this city it is enterprise. Six
weeks ago n few of the lending business
men of this city , seeing the necessity
of grea tor effort on the part of the citl/cns
in matters concerning the prosperity of the
city , got together and resolved UK | > n the
forming of n club which would take In not n
single class or Interest , but all classes and
all interests represented In Onmluu It was
so broad in its scope , so unlikonnytbing which
had over been attempted , that these very
men themselves hardly realize yet what It
means for the city. They org.inUed. They
gave two noon lunches and a mass meeting
and Its members rolled up their sleeves and
started out for reinforcements. Today it
has practically 500 members enrolled ,
with a good prospect of as many
moro within another six weeks. And
what is more , a proposition was
accepted last evening from the Board of
Trade for the renting of the top floor of the
Chamber of Commerce building and a deter
mination formed that , If possible , tlio club
should bo In possession of its quarters by
May 2J , the date of tlio opening In this city
ot the Manufacturers and Consumers exposi
tion.
Snmo Important Work.
The meeting last evening was u meeting
of the executive committee only , W. A. L.
Gibbon presiding , and fifteen of the
I eighteen members being present , together
with a few visitors from other organizations.
Its purpose was to consider the proposition
submitted by tlio Board of Trade directors
relative to the renting of quarters to the
club and to boar the reports of several mem
bers who had solicited subscriptions.
The proposition of the Board of Trade is
that for tbo sum of $1,200 per annum the
board will rent to the club the top floor of its
building. The numerous tenants , while they
would prefer not to move , express a willing
ness to go rather than to stand in
tlio way of the club's plans. So soon
as they vacate the numerous partitions will
bo torn out nnd now ones put In and the
rooms lilted up in an artistic manner for
club purposes. The restaurant on the first
floor will bo dispensed with after July
1. A restaurant will be estab
lished in the rooms of Iho club
where Iho members and Iheir Invited guests
may dim * . An additional elevator will also
be put into tlio building and other necessary
repairs made. Until these chances arc
mndo the club will have tbo privilege of
using the Hoard of Trade rooms.
This .proposition , on motion of A. I' .
Tukoy , was unanimously adopted , and a
committee appointed to enter Into a contract
with tlio Board of Trade directors and ar-
r.inge details. The chairman announced
that he would name the committee later , as
ho thought it advisable to appoint persons
who were not members of the Board of
Trade.
Ampin Hupport I'lcdt ml.
The report of these who had solicited sub
scriptions was then read. It showed a total
of llft.\-four new members since Wednesday
night with a good prospect of at least eighty
moro from South Omaha.
A. P. Tukoy stated that at a meeting of
tbo Omaha Heal Estate exchange held dur
ing the day , tlio question of merging the exchange -
change with the club and becoming a bureau
of it , was discussed. The members seemed
favorably disposed at llrst , but Inter
evinced a lltlio opposition to the idea.
Ho thought when they fully under
stood it , they would readily unite.
George II. Payne said the chief objcclion of
the exchange was that it did not want to
lese its identity. '
W. A. Page , president of the Manufactur
ers and Consumers association of Nebraska ,
and A. J. Vierling , president , and W. S.
Wedge , secretary of the Builders nnd
Traders exchange , Charles F. Weller
and William 10. Clarke made a few
remarks commendatory of the efforts made
bv the club and expressive of sympathy
with its purposes. Dan Farrell thought the
club would bo of as much benellt to him as
J-350 per month expended In-advertising. The
freight rate question was discussed at some
length by John .S. Knox and A. J. Vier
ling , nnd the necessity for some action on
the part of Onuilui clearly set forth. The
chairman stated that tlio committee ap
pointed to select a freight commissioner was
at work and would in duo season
make a rciwrt. George II. Pnjno
said the retailers did not seem to
understand how thuy were to bo bencjltcd
by memberships in the club. He wished to
say that anything which benefited Omaha
must bo beneficial to them. Visitors would
frequently bo entertained several days by
the club and during this time would
spend many a dollar which they
would not otherwise sucnd. He wished
further to say that ono member from a sin
gle establishment or llrm was not enough.
Every one Interested in Omaha's welfare
should Join. Sovcr.il linns had already
taken out ten subscriptions. Hayden -
don Bros. had taken live. Bartlett -
lott , Baldridgo & Crane had taken
one for each mcmbor of the firm nnd the
Orchard & Wllholm company had taken
four. This was the spirit that should bo
manifested and the spirit which would load
to success.
Will Ilo Itcndy In a Mouth.
Tbo question of having the club rooms in
readiness by May 2-J was taken up by Dan
Farrell and other members of the club and
handled in a vigorous manner. It was the
general sentiment that work should
begin at once , and the committee
selected to arrange matters with the Board
of Trade , will leave no stone unturned to ac
complish the result. Another meeting will
bo held Tuesday night , tit which further j
steps will bo taken. !
Chairman Ulbbon addressed the meet
ing in ono of his interesting mid
convincing talks and expressed bin
conlldenco in the future of the
club , and Chris Hurtman thought the mem
bers all felt grateful to their worthy chair
man for the interest 1m had shown and the
work ho had performed in their behalf.

CIIICAIIO , 111. , April 15. - TheVcstern Pas- "
sengcr association Is In something of a bail
way , and while It is a big thing to say that !
the association agreement will not be j
adopted in the end , struimer things than j
that have happened. The Denver ft I
Cirande today announced llatl.\ that it i
would on no account make u rate to tlio Mis
souri river of less than a one fore , and the i
other roads were compelled to give in to the
inevitable. This Is a h < nl.blow to
the agreement at HIP last moment
and il will probably have a .strung bearing
on the Ilnal vote for its adoption The action
of the Denver t Kiofi ramie was based on the
assertion thul if it out the rates too siightly
the business could not be obtain" , ! I'lio
probability is thai the road has nndi a mini
nor of excursion contracts thai will have a
strong bearing on the general run of busi.
ness und It is fearful that If it keeps up tlio
faro on the regular trains too high that it
will not do any amount of business. The
other trunstnlssouri river roads to a largo
extent uphold the Denver , t | { io fir.imlc In
the stand it lias taken. 1 he association bus
also struck a snag on thtMiuestiiw of immi
gration rates , and there is a strong probabil
ity thai It will not got together again for
some time and without a great deal of
trouble. It had been eonll.lenlly expected up
to today that the association would adjust
the dlfnYulties bo fore it and adjourn by the
hist of this week , but the chunccs of that are
now very nlim , though it is possible that
some way will be found out of the woods.
The mieoting of the Western Freight asso
ciation which is to be held in St. Paul on
April 111 , has been postponed to some Imlel )
nitodute. The roads loday concluded that
they would make a private arrangement
among themselves and pay the Southern
Pacific what it has been demanding on the
reduced percentages of the rates , which
went , into effect the 1st of April All Iho
