. C'onililcr N - ulntcr. .
New YOIIK. April 23. Mr. Edward Hose-
water , editor and proprietor of Tins OMAHA
Ilrr. and a member of the republican na
tional committee , has been In the city for
several days , one of the objects of hU visit
being to collect figures regarding the Union
Pacific railroad debt , with which congress
will have to deal next winter.
To a Herald re | > orter Mr. Koscwatcr says :
"Tho Pacific railroad debt will mature
within three years. Its adjustment has
been discussed in congress , but no dellnito
conclusion has been reached. Congress.ncxt
winter , however , will bo forced to- take
action in the matter. There are four propo
sitions which may bo presented to congress
ext winter. They are :
"First Congress may let the road go to
'orcclosuro under the first mortgage and
ako chances of recovering money advanced
the government should the road sell for
: nore than 1,000.000.
.Second Congress might extend the see-
ml mortgage claim by funding the principal
: ind interest in default , conditioned upon an
xtcuslon for a period of time equal to that
f the original mortgage , and this could only
be done with the consent of the first mort
gage bondholders , its successful outcomu
Ijclng very doubtful.
"Third Congress could authorize the issue
f a new bond for the whole debt and take a
Irst mortgage on the main line.
Fourth Congress could pay the first
nortirago , foreclose on the second ( the gov-
rnment claim ; and take the load and opur-
ute it. "
"What , in your opinion then , is the most
'easible scheme ! " ho was asked.
"It is proposition No. 1 , " answered Mr.
osowator , "that congress lot the road go
o foreclosure under the first mortgage.
Some of the money advanced would undoubt
edly bo lost in this way , but what of it ? The
road would bo cleared from all the complica-
ions which have burdened it for twenty
years and it could successfully com-
icto with other roads , thus greatly bene-
lltlng the people as the result of reduced
rates. Besides the development of the west
ern country has more than paid back to the
government the money advanced or the dif
ference between that advanced and what
would bo lost as the result of a sale. Un
questionably private individuals and stock
lobbers have fattened at the people's ex
pense , owing to the Union Pacific deals , but
all possibility of that would be stopped by
the foreclosure of the property.
"I think this view will bo largely in accord
with sentiment in the west. Some of the
populist clement may not understand it at
tlrst. At all events , the time has arrived for
: i settlement of this Union Pacific business ,
which concerns not only the west , but largo
Interests in the east , and It should be fully
discussed before the problem is submitted
to congress next winter. "

Australian I'lntnelil : : Institutions That
Could Nut .Stand a 1'iinlc.
New YORK , April iiJ. A special London
cable to the Times says : The twenty Au
stralian binks doing business at the end of
the past year , with capital and reserves
amounting to about 1 10,003,030 had depos
ited with them over 1.10,000,000 , of which
tibout i ! 100,000,000 were time deposits , bear
ing Interest. These time deposits are ac
cepted in Great Britain for perioas running
from one to five yo.irs , and interest is al
lowed at rates ranging from 4 to 4. ! per cent
on oiio-ycar deposits and from 3Jtf to 5 poi
cent on deposits to remain for longer periods
up to live years. The Credit bank deter
mines the rate allowed.
Money so received was lent at higher rates
in Austria and the business was so profitable
that dividends of from 10 to 23 per cent were
paid by the larger banks. The deposits , as
they became payable , were renewed and the
totals increased from year to year. The
largest proposition came from Scotland ,
whore the business assumed such dimensions
that the Insurance companies mad" a regular
tariff for guaranteeing deposits ,
The smash-up of u largo number of build
ing and kindred societies last year in Aus
tralia and the discovery that many banks
had locked up large sums In unproductive or
over valued real estate , caused some with
drawals of deposits as they fell duo and
checked new opening of deposit accounts.
The failure of the two banks last year
added to the uneasiness. This has devel
oped into a panic which has brought down
three other banks this year , which may re
sult in further failures. The immediate
cause/of each failure has been the same. The
first of the time deposits are wholly or
partly withdrawn in Ixjiidon as they fall duo.
This makes it necessary to draw on the Aus
tralian ofllce. and when depositors In Aus
tralia sco their bank's assets dwindling.
they take fright and becin to check
out their current balance. Then follows a
run and the managers of the London ofllco
wake up some fine morning and find In the
newspapers that the banks tney supposed to
be solvent have failed.
Outside of the market for shares of
Australian hanks , which , owing to liabilities
for uncalled capital , are practically unsala
ble , and the discount market , which Is disin
clined to take bills and disposed to advance
rates In a banking crisis in any part of the
world , the net etl'ect has been to cause an
advance in consols , English railways and
other recognised investments.
This upward movement continues and
gixvs a strong undertone to all markets.
Uirgo sums have already found their way tc
the Stock exchange Irom investors whu
have withdrawn dox | > .sits as they become
payable an.l large sums are expected aboul

deposits run from year U ) year. This so
called Scotch term will bo a critical period
for the Australian banks , and tho.so thai
survive it will probably weather any furthei

Senator Chamllor'8 Vinun.
WASIIINTOX , D. C. , April SI. To 'a repre
sentative of the Associated Press the presi
dent said today : "The inclination on the
part of the public to accept newspaper re
ports concerning the intentions of those
charged with the management of our na
tional finances seems to Justify my em
phatic contradictions of the statement that
the redemption of any kind of treasury
notes except in gold , has at any time been
determined upon or contemplated by the sec
retary of the treasury or any other member
of the present administration. The presi
dent and his cabinet are absolutely harmo
nious In the determination to exercise every
power conferred upon them to maintain the
public credit , to keep the public faith and to
preserve the parity between gold and silver
and between all financial obligations of the
government.
t'avor-4 Cold Redumption.
"While the lawoflb'JO , forcing the pur
chase of a fixed amount of silver every
month , provides that the secretary of the
treasury in his discretion may redeem in
either gold or silver the treasury notes given
in payment of silver purchases , yet the
declaration of the nollcy of the government
to maintain the parity between the two
metals seems so clearly to regulate this dis
cretion as to dictate their redemption in
gold.
"Of course , perplexity and dlftlcultips have
grown out of an unfortunate financial policy
which we found in vogue and embarrass
ments have arisen from Ill-advised financial
legislation confronting us at every turn ; but
with full confidence among the people and a
disposition to co-operate , the threatened
dangers will bo averted , pending u legisla
tive return to u better and sounder financial
plan.
"Tho strong credit of the country still re
mains unimpaired and the good sense of our
people , which has never failed in time of
need , Is at hand to save us from disaster. "

Secretaries Carlisle and Lament.
SHNATOU UHANIM.iKll'S VIKWS.
Thinks the .Surrnttiry or tlm Trnamiry Should
Use the Gold Itcxcrvp.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 2.1. Senator
Chandler has some positive views on finan
cial and other questions of the day. "I can
state the position I take , " said the senator ,
"in a single proposition , and that Is that the
secretary of the treasury ought to use the
$100,000,000 of the gold reserve for the re
demption If necessary , and not Issue any
bonds until he is obliged to. That largo fund
was made to bo used ; that is what it Is there
for , and It should bo called up before any
other steps are taken. The law requires
national banks to retain 10 per cent of their
earnings for a surplus to bo used In an emer
gency , and why should not the government
resort to the same policy ? I am afraid chat
gold will soon go to a premium and the
country bo forced to a silver basts. "
When asked what effect the financial situ
ation would have upon the calling of an ex
tra session of congress , Mr. Chandler replied
that the question could bo best answered by
the party now in power.
"The question of an extra session , " he con
tinued , "depends entirely upon the present
administration , whether It is broad and
largo in its contemplation of public affairs or
small nnd inadequate , whether it shall prove
strong and courageous.
riiicln : the Iterpiinithllltv
"If it is strong and has the courage for
which some people give It credit , Mr. Clove-
laud will call an extra session and seek the
repeal of the law of 1SUO. Whether congress
will or will not follow the ad vlco of the pres
ident in this matter , ho can at least place
the responsibility upon congress. In my
opinion Mr. Cleveland will surely go to ruin
if he permits gold to go to a premium , and
refuse to call an extra session.
"Financial problems arc not the only ones
wo have to face , however. If the proper
program of tariff legislation to bo conducted ,
the persons who have money invested in
protected and their allied industries will bo
exceedingly shy about investing their cap
ital. Times will , as a natural sequence , be
come hard and American wages will fall.
This will be the inevitable result of an as
sault uiran the tariff.
"It looks to mo as If the policy of Mr.
Cleveland was to encourage foreign immi
gration , and especially that of a Jov/lsh char
acter. Certain recent acts of his surely
1 oint in this direction , and the result of such
a policy can but work to the disadvantage of
the laboring classes anil the general misfor
tune of the people. Undcsiraolo immigrants
should be kept from our shores , and the late
ndiiiimslration would have accomplished
tills result. In view of the many acts of the
administration , the a > 't of congress leveled
at this evil bids fair to bo negatived and
made of no avail. "

A letter from George ICcnnan , the celo-
iratcd Siberian traveler , was read , in which
Mr. Kennaii said when the czar ceases to de-
laro martial law every year in the most 1m-
ortant parts of his empire ; when bore-
stores trial by Jury and recognizes the rights
of habeas corpus ; when ho abolishes exile by
administrative process , untl Imprisonment
without judicial warrant ; when ho ceases to
icrsecuto religious dissenters on account of
ihelr faith ; when ho reforms the Siberian
exile system , and when be begins to rule as
t civilized and Christian monarch , then , but
lot until then , can the government of the
United States afford to send back to him his
fugitive subjects without cruel injustice to
them and disgrace to itself.
Bishop Fallows , Hcv A. E. Gilford and
other speakers denounced the treaty as an
outrage upon American Institutions , declaied
that it was merely a fugitive slave law , and
the men who passed It had made themselves
slave catchers. '
The meeting then adopted resolutions de
claring the treaty to bo contrary to the
principles of international law. civilization
and American liberty : that any attempt to
enforce another fugitive , "slave law in this
country will result as before , in a terrible
conflict between thp law' nnd the conscience
of the people and in the re-establishment of
that regrettable , but glorious illegality , the
underground railway to Canada , where ,
under another ( lag thu oppressed will find
protection if it is denied under the stars and
stripes. It was decided to request the gov
ernment to "undo the great disgrace it has
put upon the American nation and at once
abrogate this infamous treaty. "

Issuance of an injunction against some strik

a merchant of- Buffalo , N. Y. ,
and the recent ruling at Toledo

theory. The following extract from Me-

T ONIION , April 23-Tho police In Hull ar
rested a drunken decker last evening be
tween 11 and 12 o'clock. A mob of strikers
stopped them on their way to the station.
The police foucht tbcm off and sent for re
inforcements. The numbers of the strikers
swelled rapidly. When the jwlico reinforce
ments arrived more than 2,000 men had
gathered , armed with stones , clubs and a
few revolvers.
The police drew their batons and clubbing
right nnd loft divided the mob so that the
officers with their prisoner could proceed to
the station , After the drunker striker had
been removed the rioters charged the pollco
repeatedly. They were forced back by hand-
to-hand lighting , were divided and were
driven into the side streets , where they
rallied again to the attack. Moro police
were called out and more strikers wore
attracted.
The wounded men on both sides were car
ried away and the strikers obtained a now
supply of pokers , bow hooks , cudgels and
spilt planks. The police forced them back
gradually into the immediate neighborhood
of the docks. The whole district was in an
uproar. The struggle was carried into every
street and alley way. Dockers who had gone
to bed hurried hull-dressed from their
houses to join in the light. Windows were
smashed and doors were battered in.
At the dry pool dock the mob tried to
storm the steamer Highl. Fifty police de
fended it fortforty minutes , and then with
tno aid of thirty more , put the rioters to
flight. The fighting lasted well into this
morning. Only six strikers were arrested.
Delegates from twenty of the most power
ful workingmen's union in I/ondon and the
provinces mot in secret session in this city
last evening to consider what measures they
should adopt in support * of the Hull
strikers.
Many of the unions represented at the
conferences are connected only indirectly
with the shipping trade , as. for instance ,
those of thi < gas workers and the coal
porters. John Burns , Keif Hardle , Joseph
Have.loek Wilson , all members of Parlia
ment , and the labor agitators , McCarthy
and Sprow , addressed the delegates. No ro-
l > ori of the proceedings was given to the
press. It is said ttiat n wldo divergence of
opinion was manifested as to the best course
of action toward the Hull strikers and ttiat
the meeting broke up in confusion. Of one
thing there is no doubt , .the sentiment of the
meeting was overwhelmingly favorable to
the men in Hull.

KOMR , April 2H. ! Now York Herald C , ble
Special tu TIII : BEK.I 1 am in a jiosltlon
to give tin1 following precise and authentic
Information regarding the banquet given tht *
kaiser at the Gorman legation today , and
William's subtoqu-.Mit visit to the Vatican.
The banquet at von Billow's residence
passed oiT without any of the unfortunate
incidents that are said to have occurred on
the emperor's last visit. His majesty was
particularly cordial to Cardinal Morinnl , to
whom ho expressed his regret at the absence
of Cardinal Hampolla. Politics was care
fully avoided.
Cardinal Hampolla would have attended
the Vatican reception if his health had
possibly allowed. but the pope
urged the necessity of caution.
It was exactly ! t when the kaiser's
carriage arrived at the Vatican. On the ar
rival of the emperor and empress the pope
said to the former , In French :
" 1 am pleased to see your majesty. "
Then turning to the empress ho added :
"And your majesty. "
The official reception lasted Just a ( quarter
of an hour. When the empress nnd German
otllcials had withdrawn the pope and em
peror settled down to the moro serious part
of their business and the private interview
lasted fifty-live minutes , and was not aston
ishingly cordial , though markedby courtesy
and readiness to avoid raking up old sores.
The pope in a very general way referred
to the Homan question and the kaiser's
replies were politely vague. None of the
German questions of moment were touched
on , von Buclow having previously sounded
the pope , who was not prepared to discuss
them at this interview. It may be said the
visit leaves matters as before.
A solemn mass in B minor , composed by
Frank G. Dassert , the New York organist ,
and dedicated to the pope , was executed to-
i'ay ' In the chapel at St. Peter's , and made u
very favorable Impression. This is the first
instance on record where an American com
position has been thus honored.

TXJNIION , April 23.--Orange riots broke out
in Belfast last night anil continued until late
this morning. Thu lighting was especially
severe in the ShaliKhill district.
At midnight an Orange mob put out the
street fights and shortly afterward attacked
a tavern kept by a Homan Catholic named
Connelly. They smashed In windows and
door.s , looted the store rooms and liquor
vault , drove out Connelly and his family and
attempted to burn the building.
The pollco were out in force and before
they could get the lire well started drove olT
the mob and extinguished the flames. The
mob then tried to invade the Catholic quar
ter , whore the nationalists were celebrating
the second rending of the homo rule bill by
burning tar barrels. A strong line of police
held them back. A crowd of tmttoiialisLs
gathered on the other sldo of the line and
the two parties stoned each other. The
conflict became so hot eventually that the
police we're obliged to strike out on both
sides with their clubs and drive back the
two mobs , b.v repeated charges.
The whole district was in such a riotous
mood before H o'clock that a company from
the Dorsetshire regiment was brought up.
Who ordered out the military cannot bo
learned. The police refused to accept their
assistance , as they contended they were
able to cope with the mob. The military
inarched away , and soon afterward the mobs
were dispersed by means of some heavy
clubbing. Twenty or more rioters were ar
rested.
Several more attempts were made to mob
nationalists bur all efforts were checked by
the police. The Orangemen are looking for
anothcropportunity to light the nationalists.
Two attempts have been made to wreck
Connelly's tavern , but have been frustrated.
Tonight disorderly crowds are still in the
streets.
