pool rooms couM flourish only through
the facilities extended to them by the tele-
irraph company. To Unit company they
bronchi mi enormous annual revenue ; with
the lowest cost of collecting It. Their pro-
prlotors were nt the mercy of the company ,
and they never troubled It with litigation.
They paid on the nail for everything
and paid heavily ; nnd It was natural that
the company should give to such good payIng -
Ing patrons all twsslblo facilities for their
business. No department was more thor
oughly organized than the gambling depart
ment , nnd no'no paid better. Hut as the
Louisiana lottery finally becairo , through
its corrupting Influence , a stench In
the nostrils of all decent people , and so , de
spite Its lavish outlays of money , was finally
suppressed ; BO the ixiol rooms became a cry
ing evil , and the law has stepped In to tnnko
nn end of them. Now that the stnto of Now
York has set the example it will surely bo
followed by the great majority of the states.
Cnnnnlittlnn ( or the Company.-
How much tlio Western Union company
has made In the past by Its encouragement
of these gambling places throughout the
country , and how much It still makes , Is not
easy to conjecture. It certainly is no incon-
slderanle proportion of the dividend it pays.
Of course It may bu said that the company is
not a censor of the public morals , that
the pool rooms existed and it
simply gave them business facilities. This
is true , but when It , is considered what they
were charged for these facilities , how
promptly nnd uncomplainingly the charges
had to be paid , and how thoroughly their
business ( which wholly depended upon
the use of the telegraph ) was or
ganized , It Is easy to see that they
were a favored class of customers. 'I hey
have been wholly suppressed In this state ,
they soon will bo In nearly all the states
with corresponding gain to the public morals )
If the Western Union Is a loser thereby ,
pecuniarily , even a largo loser , its olllccrs
will at least have the consolation of know
ing that what is their loss is the public gain.

Now York riniiiirierfl Dlicmt the Monetary
Situation.
Nnw VOIIK , April 22. Naturally enough ,
In view of the continued heavy exports of
gold to Europe and the uncertainty of the
treasury policy , Wall street today concerned
itself almost entirely with the various
rumors in regard to the attitude of the Now
York banks toward the government. The
sum of $100.1X10 gold was paid into the sub-
treasury In New York today by the Sea
men's Exchange bank. The withdrawals
worol,100X)0. (
The most important event of the day was
a two hours conference between the bank
presidents and Assistant Treasurer Conrad
N. Jordan at the clearing house this aftcr-
rioon. After it was over it was learned that
Henry W. Cannon , president of the Chase
National bank , had a conference with Mr.
Jordan last night and had gone to Washing
ton as an emissary from the bankers hero to
President Cleveland. This morning
Assistant Treasurer Jordan issued an
invitation to ten of the leading
bank presidents to meet him at
the clearing house for a conference at 2
o'clock today. At the meeting the financial
situation was thoroughly discussed , and It
was decided that the parity of gold and
silver must bo maintained and that the gov
ernment must meet Its obligations In gold
at any cost. It was practically decided
among the bankers that they would advance
no more gold to the treasury without an In
vitation , nnd even then not a large amount
without a bond issue.
A I'atrliit for 1'rollt.
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle recently
received an offer to deposit gold in the sub-
treasury ut San Francisco , which ho ac
cepted. The gold was turned in and pay
ment for It to the correspondents in Now
York of the depositor was authorized by
telegraph. The correspondent appeared at
the sublroasury hero and received green
backs , which ho returned today and de
manded gold for them. Thus a transfer of
gold was-mado from San Francisco to New
York with a saving of freight and five days
Interest anil a patriotic ofTerof gold was con
verted into a transaction for profit.
Mr. Carlisle will bo here Tuesday or
Wednesday to participate In thn naval
demonstrations , and , it is thought , will have
a conference with the leading financiers.
The usual ten days statement of customs
payments at the port of Now York shows a
further slight decrease of payments made
on treasury- notes and a decrease In the re
ceipts of United Stater : notes , almost omml
to the receipts of silver certificates. The
.figures are : Gold , 21 per cent ; gold certifi
cates , 4 per cent ; silver certificates , 20.1 per
cent ; United States notes , 47.0 per cent , and
treasury notes , 20.2 per cent.
Rockefeller of the Standard Oil company ,
who has business interests all over the world ,
says : "I do not believe President Cleveland
will let us go oft a gold basis. "Ho can keep
gold and silver at a parity by selling bonds ,
and I believe bo will do it. Aside from the
gold question , 1 believe the administration
will have to issue bonds , anyhow , to meet
the expense of the government.
In Cleveland' * IliiniU.
"Our present trouble conies from the
simple uncertainty of the sttuatlon. If Presi
dent Cleveland came out in a straightfor
ward way and stated that ho proposed to
keep the currency on a gold basis by issuing
bonds it would answer the purpose . I be
lieve , with such a statement alone , the situ
ation would-be relieved enough so no bonds
would need to bo issued to maintain the
parity. The general situation throughout
the country Is in good' shape so far as our
dealings go. Our exports with Europe have
never been so largo as they are today. As
to the report about our demanding gold in
paying bills , this applied only to our goods
sold abroad. This situation has always ex
isted in our dealings with Europe. In our
domestic trade domestic currency applies.
It has always been this way. Europe may
pay our bills in gold. "

Cleveland' * Now Comptroller of the Cur
rency on the I'limnrliU Situation.
OTTAWA , 111. , April22. On the eve of his
departure for Washington to nssumo the
duties of oillco , Hon. James P. Eckels ,
President Cleveland's recently appointed
comptroller of the currency , was tendered a
farewell banquet by the citizens of Ott awa
where ho has resided for twelve years past.
Among the 100 guests were many llllnolsans
of prominence in financial and political
circles.
In response to the toast , ' -Our Guests , "
Mr. Eckels presented his views concerning
the conduct of his ofllco. lie said In part :
"Tho oflleo bestowed upon me , unsought
though It was , Is not unappreciated , nor Its
lcsponslhllitics underestimated. From its
creation under the exigencies of the civil
war to the present the ofilco of comptroller
of the curicncy of Itself has ranked high In
the estimation of the public and gained in
h onor and dignity by the character of these
who have heretofore filled it with great
credit to themselves and benefit to the
nation.
' Crittclsm'has been passed by many that a
practical lawyer , rather than a skilled finan
cier , has been placed at the head of a bureau ,
distinctively a financial one , nnd the Intliua-
lion has been thrown out that the banking
system must suffer serious Impairment
througll.tho rashness of the comptroller in
taking action without a sufficient under
standing of nis'dutlcs. No impairment to any
yst nj Can bo brought about by nn honest anil
rlglu enforcement of the law which governs
it , and these most strenuous in their criti
cism must not complain If the national bank
act as -stands upon the statute book be
the rule and guldo of the comptroller. The
danger to the public , the danger to the
banks , has never been tbo rashness of the
comptroller , but has always had Its source in
the indlflemico of bank ofltcials to keeping
within the restrictions of the law , ]
Tenturo Uio statement that the history
of bank failures slnco the organiza
tion of the first bank will provo that the
loose methods of the oniclalsof falling banks
or their patent dishonesties have caused the
great majority of bank disasters. If these
most Interested in the national banks deilro
moil to servo tna public and theuisolvci , lot
thtai In tin , th t thw placed In direct con-
trol nf these Instluitloni bo not only tech
nically honest , but absolutely § o ,
"In the apparent keeping within the law ,
nnd yet In absolute evasion of It on the part
of many who hold these ulaccn of ttust , I * to
bo found that which makes the ( million of
comptroller a dlnicult one , nnd renders It
essential that those who have nt heart the
interests of the system should urge
instead of protest against the very strictest
construction of the net that has given them
such * ( rawer and tirollt nnd ttio public at
critical times the highest benefit. To
this end I shall strive. I maybe
bo pardoned , In view of the
doubts of many as to the wisdom of the
president's nomination of me , if I insist
that the Interest nnd wcll-belnur of the
comptroller's ofllee and the credit of the ad
ministration bo held in higher esteem than
the building , ip of some iKilltlcal leader ,
who has constituents , 1 am not averse to
partisanship , but the partisanship which
works the highest good to the iwrty is that
which draws distinctly the line of dcnmrk-
atlon between political < [ ut stlous and bus
iness proiKisltloiis. When wo have reached
the jKiliit where wo can view the business
side of every public question apart
from its political one , wo will bo freed
from the troubles that have more than
once returned to plague us.Vlio can doubt
but that the less of politics and more of
business judgment would have prevented the
placing upon the statute books of the United
Stntcs an act which today Is giving the secretary -
rotary of the treasury hojf.s of anxious
thought to maintain the nation's credit !
Democratic partisans and republican parti
sans striving for party advantage gave to
the special silver interests the Sherman law ,
as against the business Judgment of even
the author of it himself , and , as a result ,
the financial world is agitated to the very
center at the prospect of a silver monetary
system hero in opposition to that of every
nation of recognized commercial standing.
The disasters of its continued operation now
threatened may bo averted for the present
through wise and heroic acts of the presi-
lent and the secretary of the treasury , but
lust so sure us it remains through the
year utircpealed. Just so sure shall gold
jo drawn from circulation and a de
bauched and discredited silver dollar bo
given to us in.its stead. "

1'iTT.sjirno , Pa. , April 22. In addition to
the $100,000 sent by the First National bank ,
the clearing house banks of Pittsburg stand
prepared to furnish the United States
treasury with at least f 1,000,000 in gold for
currency , if Secretary Carlisle sees lit to call
upon them , and probably > 00,000 more if it
is needed. None of the bankers hero antici
pate any serious disturbance of the money
market as a result of the encroachment upon
the national gold reserve. They say the reserve -
servo is intended for just such an emergency ,
and the coursoSccrotary Carlisle is pursuing
is the same as that of any banker under like
circumstances. His action has had no appre
ciable effect upon business here and interest
rates remain the same.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 22. Henry W.
Cannon , president of the Chase National
bank of New York , Is In the city , his errand
being , it is understood , for the purpose of
conferring with the secretary of the treas
ury , and , if possible , the president , upon the
financial situation. Mr. Cannon could not

anything has been accomplished. He spent

GONE WITfiT THE CASH.
Miss Mlllor , Piiynrister for Klopp & H.irt-
lutt , ( 'nrrirs 4)11' the Pay Money.
The police detectives spoilt the greater
part of the night after 8 p. in. looking for
Miss May Mlllor , bookkeeper for Klopp &
Hartlett , who Is wanted for embezzlement.
According to the story of the proprietors
related to the police late last night Miss
Miller drew $275 from the bank to pay the
men nnd after placing the coin in packages
went to lunch. Nothing has since been
heard of her and naturally the proprietors
think that she took the money with her , as
it could not bo found in her desk or in the
safe.
It was a hard case for the detectives to
work in , because if the woman had left the
town she had ten hours the start before the
police were notified.
Chief Detective Haze placed all his men on
the case where it was brought to his notice
and ordered every depot watched. When
seen at In. m. Huzo was satisfied that the
woman had managed to leave town before
her employers missed her , as there are a
number of trains leaving Omaha between
MOOD and 8 p. in.
< From correspondence found by the police
it is moro than probable that the young
woman left for Chicago to join a lover , if
such Is the case she will bo arrested today
by the Windy City police , as a description
has been sent by telegraph. '
Miss Miller has been bookkeeper and pay
master for Klopp & Bartlett for some tlmo
and according to the reports from her em
ployers she was a good and faithful servant
and they placed the utmost confidence in
her honesty.

YESTERDAY'S ' CONFERENCE UNAVAILING
Striker * Still Umvlllinc to Accept the Ulti
matum ol tin ) lto : il Thn Mooting
W Indefinitely I'littpniioil
I.CM Hopeful reeling.
The expected settlement of the Union Pa
cific shopmen's strike failed to materialize
yesterday and the end Is apparently as far
of ! as ever. In fact the men are not as hope
ful as they were Friday night , when It was
the universal opinion that they would nil bo
back nt work Monday morning , ( late City
hall , the headquarters of the strikers , was
crowded all yesterday morning with men
waiting for some word from the executive
committee , but no word came , and at noon
no notice had been posted of a mqL'tinjj in the
afternoon , which the strikers construed un
favorably , although they all expressed a wish
that they might go back to work on Mondav.
As a boiler maker said , "we pay the exec
utive committee for looking after our inter
ests , and we have confidence in their ability
to bring thinxs around nil right. J can
stand this idleness for another week , ami
then if nothing happens to lift the strike I
will have about $ ! 3 left to hunt a new Job. "
Nothing llovrlopril In ConTurenm.
At 2K ! ) o'clock iestcrday afternoon the
executive board of the striking machinists
igain wont into conference at Union Pacific
headquarters with Genoril Manager Dickin
son , Superintendent MeOonnell and Judge
Ivclly. Earnestness of discussion charac
terized both sides , and it looked at times as
If a settlement was not a probability. At
40onoof : ! ! the officials in conference said :
1 cannot predict what the outcome will be.
Wo arc making some progress , but the result
is as i et wholly uncertain. There is no toll
ing how long wo shall bo in session. "
Another said : "Thoy don't seem to have
got down to business yet. They arc dis
cussing matters in a general way and each
side seems to bo hanging off a little and un
willing to yield to the other. "
StrlUrrx Ar Anxious.
At Gate City hall as much or even moro
concern was exhibited than on Friday. The
strikers kept dropping in during the whole
afternoon to learn whether any tidings had
been received from the conference. When 5
o'clock came there was some uneasiness. All
waited patiently , however , for 0o'clock to roll
around , and when it arrived and no tidings
cumo it was construed as a good omen , the
men thinking the deliberations were draw
ing to a close and that both sides expected to
finish at that sitting. But such was not the
case. At 0:150 : o'clock tho. executive board
came strolling leisurely up Douglas street
with downcast look and sober countenances ,
which told as plainly as words could tell it
that their efforts had been unsuccessful and
that there was some vital point upon which
the strikers and the company could not
agree.
When they arrived at the Arcade hotel a
short conference was held , and again when
they reached tie corner beyond. Three
hundred people were waiting anxiously in
Gate City hull to hear the result. The com
mittee had evidently not tho'jght of them ,
for it was breaking up , when Lave Stevens
called to President Broderick and asked him
what ho proposed to do about the people up
stairs.
The president returned , held n short con
sultation with the others , hurried across the
street and up the stairway and announced
the result of the conference. The crowd im
mediately came down upon the streets ,
gathering In little groups and earnestly and
soberly discussing the situation , and others
dispersing to their homes. In ten minutes
all had guiic.
N'o Hope on Ilio Horizon.
Judge Kelly , when seen shortly nf torward ,
said : "There is nothing new in the situa
tion. Wo arc still at work , and hollovo the
deliberations will yet result in an adjust
ment of the differences. Wo adjourned tone
no particular time , but I presume , of course ,
that another consultation will be had
Monday. " '
Thus matters stand. The bright prospects
of Friday and Saturday are overcast by a
cloud of doubt and disappointment , which
probably only n change in the demands of
the mechanics can dispel. It is not liKcly
that a conference will bo held today , be
cause it is well known that nt least one of
thQ omclals is a strict Sabbatarian. The fact
that r.o particular timowas appointed for re
suming tne work of the conferaico is con
strued as evidence that the proceedings
were unfavorable to the strikers , the posi
tion assumed by the company evidently bo-
im ; in the nature of an ultimatum , upon
which the executive board Is given time to
ponder.
One thing is certain , the pass stipulation
in the now articles of agreement submitted
for signature on the part of the federated
trades to the ofllelals , will not bo agreed teen
on the part of the company. As one official
said , it would mean ; ! 0,000 passes n year ,
' 'not confined to our own system , but passes
on foreign roadswhich it would.of course , bo
impossible to secure. The company cannot
grant that clause. I assure you. "
Whether other concessions will bo made It
is hard to say , but as yet nothing has been
done except talk. "
Mr. S. H. H. Clark , who expected to leave
yesterday for Boston to attend the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Union
Pacific , has given up his trip for the reason ,
as ho says , that he does not want to turn his
back on the difficulty which , the road Is at
present experiencing.
Not Kmlorflcd by tlto I'ednnitlon.
W. B. Musscr , grand organizer of the
American Federation of Labor , is not pleased
with the statement which has been made
public to the effect that , his organisation has
taken a hand in the Union Pacific shops
strike.
In speaking of the matter Mr. Mus
scr said that the Federation had noth
ing to do with strike , as nonoof the men
belonging to that order had gene out , and
the probabilities were that they would not.
The facts were , he said , that none of the
Federation men had a grievance , as their
aim was to secure shorter hours and employ
ment , while the contention of the strikers
was for longer hours and the letting out of a
certain number of men , that they , the
strikers , might make moro money whllo
their brothers were idle. Mr. Mnsser added
that the fact of the strike being in progress
had not been called to the attention of the
Federation and if it had bqpn it would not
have been authorized for the reason that
the Knights of Labor and the American
Federation of Labor did not affiliate.
Around tlio bhopl.
A tour through the shops at quitting tlmo
disclosed nothing now. The men were hope
ful that a settlement would bo reached dur
ing the day , but many there were who feared
the conference would result In disagree
ment. "If the conference fails in Its purpose
will you join the strikers ? " was asked of a
sheet iron worker.
"No , sir , I don't believe wo will. The ma
jority of the boys seem opposed to the idea , "
was the reply.
During tlio present lull In the shops exten
sive repairs are being made and u , general
painting nnd clcaning-up process is going on.
Should those who are now out go back they
will behold quite a different appearance lii
their accustomed haunts and will un
doubtedly bo much pleased with the change.
The engine which , as it was said , had such
a disastrous fall the other evening , bus boon
repaired , and is out upon the tracks again.
Tlio gates are all guarded ns strictly as over.
These entering , unless well known , are es
corted to the superintendent's office and
obliccd to give some satisfactory reason for
their presence.
Hotel WalterH Will Strike.
NEW YOHK , April 22. The International
Association of Hotel Walton met today , It
having been reported that the men in
several hotels had made up their minds to
strike. General Secretary Sekel scut com
mittees to the men , notifying them not to
strike until Thursday. Later in the day ho
said that the committees had succeeded In
inducing the men to remain at work , hut it
proved to be a hard Job.
A movement was started Unlay by the In
ternational association to organize tlio
waiters cmpUycd in the fashionable apart
ment houses.
The strike next week will not effect the
cheap restnurrmtr nnd hotels , The very
cream of the hotel business Is aimed nt

THE Up.r. . ] Tiro/itltuatlon us regards the
strike remains nlMut the same. No moro
men have gond''tft , and none have como
oack ns yet , although there are indication ; !
that n few , at least , of the old men who
went out on the 17th. are dissatisfied , and
say that If they had understood mutters they
would not have goub out.
This morning It was passed along the line
that "good news foe the htrikers came this
morning. " But , following It up , one cannot
llnd anything particularly reviving.
In an Interview with Mr. Darnum , super
intendent of motive , today , ho said that the
particular grievance nf the men had been re
moved on the 13th , four days before the men
wont out , when the following order came by
telegraph :
M. 1C. llAHM'M : Starting May 1 the shops of
motive poncr and car drpurtmunl will ho run
on nlnu hours at North Platto.
,1. II. MANNINO.
It has been said that this was an after
thought. But the fact remains that the In
structions as above were posted on the
bulletin board in the machine shop on the
1 Ith. Answering a question as to how many
men hud gone out , Mr. Barnum said twenty-
sovcn machinists , eleven bollermakcrs and
ten apprentices.
Asked for a word on the situation , Super
intendent Parks said : "There arc no new
developments in the strike among machinists
at the Union Pacille shops. The numoer out
Is small compared with these who remained
with the company. Everything Is runi.lng
along smoothly and 1 can see no reason why
It should not continue to do so for at least
six weeks under present circumstances. The
power has nnvar been in better shape. We
also hao some in reserve by reason of stock
business usual at this time of year. Tlio
strike is remarkable for the quiet , gentle
manly conduct of those out and the absence
of feeling between them and these who are
nt work. Mr. McDonnell , general superin
tendent of machinery , has many admirers
among the men who were caught In the en
tangling alliance of the union. No doubt
should the thine come to a showdown they
will show their loyalty to 'little Joe. ' "
