man , at Fayetteville , N. O. They repre
sented that the postm-ister was very dis
tasteful to the people of the town and had
three colored female relatives In the ofllcc ,
equally distasteful.
Postmaster General Bisscll said that un
less there wcro charges of incompetcncy
against the postmaster , following the gen
eral rule ho had adopted , the man would not
bo removed , but allowoJ to serve out the re
mainder of Ills term , about three years. The
matter has been brought lo the attention of

NEW YOHK , May 0. The elements were
indly to Jack Tar this morning , giving him
eel , invigorating air and a cloudless sky at
ho early dawn. With the Instinct of a
allor ho saw the prediction of a glorious
ay for the men-of-war regatta this after-
ioon.
Nearly every boat which entered info
oduy's contest could be seen on thu river In
he early morning. Ther.o were ten and
- cutters from the Brazil , French ,
irltlsh , Italian , German and English vi
ids , and in some cases two in a single ship
ivcro spinning over the water. There wcro
flvc-oarcd cutters and whale boats and
galleys.
This afternoon each boat carried Its proper
flag that the spectators might tell who wcro
ho winners of the races , The river , from
Ouo Hundred and Twenty-second to Sev-
inty-sccond street , off of and between the
lourse , was packed with spectators , nnd
hero wore also numerous excursion boats
ml crafts of all kinds.
The result of the day's sport was a great
victory for Great Britain. Her tars.carried
iff the honors , winning two of the three , and
lomlng in a good second in the other race ,
ivhieh was captured by the Russians ,
"icked crows from all the men-of-war except
, ho Hollander , Van Speyk. participated , and
.hoy made as pretty a scries of races as has
been rowed on the Hudson. The course was
between the lines of the men-of-war. The
Jhicago was used us judge boat and the
inlsh was a line drawn from her to the
French llagship Arethuse.
The Judges were on the Chicago. They
wore Lieutenant Underwood of the Newark ,
Lieutenant Ackerman of the Philadelphia
and Lieutenant Twining of the Newark.
Lieutenant Itodgnrs of the Chicago acted as
starter. The Philadelphia. Newark , Chicago
cage and Atlanta of Undo Sam's navy had
many people on their decks at 4 o'clock
waiting for the racing to begin. A hundred
tugs , steamboats and launches crowded with
people surrounded the crews at tno starting
point , and nearly as many more waited at
the finish.
It was 4:22 : p. m. when the first race was
started. It was for ten and twelve-oared
cutters , double banked that is , two men
rowing abreast -and was thrco miles
straightaway. There wcro sixteen boats
In line , and British , Russian , Italian ,
French , Brazilian , German and Argentine
crows wcro in it. They got away
well together. Down the course with them
came a number of screeching tugs nnd
steamboats loaded with yclllnsr passengers.
It was a grand Hotilla. The first two miles
of the race wcro closely contested. The
cross of St. George on the Briton's best cut
ter swung a little to the fore , but the
Frcnchui'Mi , Italians nnd Germans were fast
upon their quarters. All the others were
In a bunch Just behind them. When the
crows reached the Blake and it was seen
that their boa' , was winning there was a
cheering and cluppingof hands that could bo
heard a tnllo away as the British tars forged
slowly ahead. The Italians alone stayed
with them and a second Italian cutter iinil a
German boat pressed them closely. The
Englishmen rowed lllto automatons. There
were twelve men und a coxswain in o-'ch
leading boat Down past the four British
ships und past the- three Russians the crows
rowed. A pistol shot on the Chicago an
nounced the finish and Instantly the Kngllsh
boat banked oars while all the tugs whistled
and the bands played "God Save the Queen , "
and the people on the decks of the men-of-
war and the pleasure craft yelled nnd swung
their hats.
The crow from the British ship Australia
won In ! ! 5 minutes 50 seconds. The crew
from the Italian llacrshlp VKtna was second ,
with the Italian crew from the Bausan next.
The tcn-oarml cutter of the Maglclenno ,
which came In fourth , got thu third prize by
time allowance. The boats from the Tartar ,
Kaiscrln Augusta , Jean Bart and Blake
were together In a lump , and the other
Italians , Germans , rcnclimen and Brazilians
brought UP the rear.
The excitement had not abated when the
galleys and the whaleboats for the second
race were discovered coming down the
course. The llnlsh was exciting. The crew
from the Russian ship General Admiral won
In l.H ) minutes 45 seconds. The crows of the
Blake and Australia wcro also side and side ,
two boat lengths in the rearof the Russians.
In the third race the crew from the British
ship Australia won in 17 minutes X > seconds ,
with a crow from the same ship second , a
crow from the Blake third und the Italians
from the Bausan and Hynda and Tartar
fifth. The Americans were barred from
competing as their boats uro lighter und
superior to those of the foreigners.

CHICAGO , 111. , May 0. The Missouri t'n-
cllle today pivo notlco that it would meet
the ] 7 round-trip rate announced by the St.
Jxmls & San Francisco from St. Louis to Colorado
rado common points. This throws open the
doors for another reduction In rates through
out the territory of the \Vcstcru Passenger
nssociatlon.as the competitors of the Missouri
I'acitlc will knock the props from under the
rates as scum as that road carries u few extra
passengers. The cut r.ites on the Missouri
1'iiclllc will he In effect until September 30 ,
and the final return limit will bo October ! il.
The western roads lire anxiously awaiting
the action of the California lines , among
which there Is a growing sentiment In favor
of putting back the rates from California
points. A move of this kind would bo re
ceived with wild applause by all the roads
interested , both for the sa'to of Increased
revenue and because of the effect It would
have on the Denver & Hlo Grande and
Colorado Midland light , which is the only
thing which now keeps down the rates. A
strong effort will be made to settle matters
before May SM ) . the date on which the Atchl-
son Is released from the Western Passenger
association. Everybody rcull/.es if Uils road
once begins a general slaughter of rates it
will give the chiinca for profits during the
continuation of the fair an exceedingly
bilious aspect.

Ncurly l.BOO lolcjntr Will Attend Tliclr
Convention In Oinulin Juno 1 *
From the inquiries Dr. W. J. Galbralth ,
chairman of the entertainment committee of
the National Association of Hallway Sur
geons , is receiving , Omaha , during the last
day of May and the ilrst two days of June ,
will bo overrun with surgeons from all sec
tions of the country , drawn thither by the
annual convention of surgeens to bo held on
the dates mentioned. The capacity of the
hotels will bo tested and from present indi
cations between 1(00 ! ( and 1,400 surgeons , in
addition to their families , will be the city's
guests during the three days indicated.
Dr. Galbralth's mail is something pro
digious these days and ho Is up to his eyes
in work answering inquiries regarding hotel
accommodations and assigning places to
those who have signified their intention to
bo present
As yet Omaha has not taken the least
notice of the coming of these representative
men and some concerted action should
bo inaugurated to give the sawbones
a hearty western welcome. Dr. Galbraith
says that he cannot do all the entertaining ,
much us ho would like to , und invites co
operation on the part of representative city
bodies in planning for the care of these
men , who are eminent in one of the greatest
of professions.
The coming of these men means much for
Omaha. They do not aak nnaucial assist
ance but do demand social consideration.
They want the best the city can give them ,
for which they arc willing and ready to pay ,
but what will go much further In tlielr esti
mation will bo a disposition on the part of
the citizens of Omaha to treat them with
the consideration they deserve.
Dr. Galbraith has just returned from a
meeting of the executive committee in Chicago
cage and says that tiie impression i.s general
that out of 1,000 members at least 100 , : ! will
be present. The hotels will bo overcrowded
during the convention and the desire to come
to Omaha appears to bo universal. Many of
the members have national reputations and
the gathering promises to bo one of the
greatest of its kind over witnessed in any
western city.

VINTON , la. , May 0. [ Special to THE
BKB. ] The grand executive committee of
the Order of Railway Telegraphers , winch
is in session hero preparatory to the annual
convention of the order , which will meet In
Toronto , May 15 , has made considerable
proprcss In its inquiry into the affairs of the
concern as conducted during the past year ,
and promises grow brighter hourly for a
general upheaval when the convcn
tiou assembles. Charges are freely
made that both Thurston and Itam-
soy have feathered their nests
during the past twelve months to an extent
quite beyond the ucliof of old stagers , who
Imvo observed how these things are done in
other organizations. It Is claimed that funds
have been dissipated in a prodigal and
senseless manner by the present adminis
tration , not only m its action In cas.cs of
strikes , but in ottier ways , notably through
the channels of the Telegrapher , a paper re
ccntly purchased by the order to be run
as its organ , of which Thurston is editor.
It Is asserted that Thurston bus raised the
salary list of a small thirty-two page paper ,
issuing twice a mouth , to > ,000 a year , this
entirely exclusive of the expenses of the
uechanlcal department. One of Ramsey's
jfothcrs is said to receive a salary of Sl.'OO ,
while Thurston receives (2,000. It is also
charged that through the wasteful extrava
gance of the oiltctals the convention. In
stead of finding a treasury with from $40.000
to SSO.OOO on hand , will llnd the strong box
iractically empty. Out of these charges it
.s thought the convention will have enough
to occupy its mind for several days.

There Is no change in the rate situation
trom Colorado points , ofllcials hero
having no information as to what will bo the
outcome of the.conference between Presidents
Jeffrey and Ulnchart. The Burlington con
tinues to quote round trip tickets at $3. > from
Denver while the other roads quote n flat
rate of K ) .
The Union Pacific continues to hold a
strong grip on the situation and its final
meeting of the fc0 ! rate has brought It a
great deal of business which would have
otherwise been diverted to rival roads.
The feeling , however , among railroads now
is that the rate now quoted is pretty nearly
correct and the chances of its s'.aying nt fl0 !
throughout the summer grows brighter
every day.
A few tickets from Colorado points wcro
scalped in Omaha yesterday , but as a
rule the brokers are still fearful of dipping
Into this business , not knowing just what
may happen to send rates lower. The
Union Pacific Is making a .f. ' > 0 one way
limited rate to California points , but Is not
joined by the Kock Island or Uurllngton ; at
least ticket agents have not been so In
structed. *

TOIT.KA , Kims , , May 6. Thosupremo court
of the state today decided that the tracks of
the Union Terminal railway may be built
across the tracks of the Union Pacillc and
the Missouri Pacific railways at ttio west
end of Knw river bridge in Kansas City ,
Kan. The trouble grow out of the refusal of
the Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific to
penult the crossing , in the face of an order
from the Kansas railway commission , author
izing the crossing. In its opinion the court
holds that the Union Terminal company is a
railroad company and may oxerclso the right
of eminent domain , Jiulco David Miirtln ,
the attorney for the Missouri Pacillc , said
this morning that the Injunction cases in the
district court ot Wyandotte county and in
the federal court at Toi > cka will be pushed.
In these cases the contention la that the
place in question Is an unsafe idaco for a
grade crossing. Judge Murtiu ujso said that
the State Board of Railroad Commissioners
will bo naked to grant a rehearing of the
crossing case. _

looked inoro beautiful than It did today , and
never slnco Us foundation , save on the day It
was dedicated and on last Monday , when It
was formally opnnoJ to the world , has there
oeen as many visitors present. From the
estimates made by the gatekeepers , there
were at least -10,009 visitors admitted to the
grounds.
The buildings and the roadways are prac
tically finished , thouh much remiins t < 3 bj
done iii the way of placing exhibits. It will
probably bo no ir the first of the coming
month before all the exhibits will be In
stalled and the great fair cotnploto.l in all Its
parts. However this may be , it would ro-
qulro a visitor from now to the 1st of Juno
to see all that Is now presentable and com
plete.
The officers of the navies and armies of
Germany , Great Britain , France , Kussla ,
Italy and Spain were entertained by Mayor
Harrison and representatives of the city
council from the time of the arrival in the
morning until 2 p. m. In the afternoon. At
that hour they boarded the train for Jackson
park and visited the fair in a body.
The piano and harp dtfllculty and the
charges against Theodore Thomas continue
to bo the chief topic in ofllclal circles nt the
fair. Should Theodore Thomas resign his
position as musicaldirector of the exposition ,
under the llro of critlsism now belnff
directed against him , or should ho bo forced
out by the action of the World's fair
authorities , it is said that his position
will bo offered to Walter. I. Damrosch of Now
York. No definite action has been taken
either by Mr. Thomas or by the directors ,
but Mr. Damrosch has been prominently
mentioned as u successor If one should now
be necessary. The special committee ap
pointed to Investigate the imtter will meet
Monday morning at 10 o'clock. It is the in
tention of the committee to find out how
Thomas came to bo appointed , and by whoso
authority Irj is kept in his position as musi
cal director.
"We intend to go to the bottom of the
matter , " said Chairman Lannon of the com
mittee , "and should the charges prove true ,
wo will at once call for his resignation. "
The gates of the World's fair will bo
closed tomorrow. President Higglnbothain
made the announcement today. As to what
will bo done in the future ho would not say.
The national commissioners continue to

bo taken by that body tqivjirds changing the
Sunday closing rule. , Judge Clendennlng
said that while ho was , " personally , radically
to opening tho1 fair to the public
n Sunday , lie was positive the
lutlonal commission had the authority
o abolish the rule. lie did not , however ,
jcllove the commission would ever do this.

New YonK , May 0. The speculative ex
itemcnt cooled during the night and opera-
ors came to the stock exchange this morn-
ng with steadier nerves. After sleeping
iver the matter they see how foreigners yes
.onlay slid under the suioko of the cngage-
nent and made away with a bagful of divi
dend payers at bargain counter prices. Hence
'twas that active stocks , b th railway and
ndustrials , opened strong und % to 2f !
nieher. Cordage rose % to SUrf , then re
ceded to " 0. American Sugar , which opened
up nt 81 , quickly fell to 77 ! < j , chocking the
rising temperature. Fifteen" minutes after
, ho opening the market was quiet and weak ,
but not so excited as yesterday.
Throughout the first hour business pre
sented a striking contrast with the panicky
'eellng of yesterday. Dealings wcro larger
, tian the average , but , much smaller than
'or the past two days , with fluctuations far
ess violent. General Elcct'ric fell from 80
, o TO , Chicago Gas 74 ! < f to 71 . Manhattan

Western Union from 85J to M , National
Cordage from Ul } to 11) ) , and National Lead
"rom a to : .
After 10:30 : n better feeling set In
und higher prices than before were
.ouched. Hubber preferred rose 7 to 87 ,
General Electric 4 to 83 , and others \ to ' . ' .
The reduction in the posted rates of exchange
.o .8SJ < and .8SJ $ and the absence of fail
ures had a good effect on the market. At 11
the market was comparatively firm and so
ilosed. The net changes show advances of 2
.c la percent in the industrials , except Cor
dage , which is down. Hallway stocks show
declines of X to ! ' - for the day.
The bank statement shows the reserve has
ncreascd fC'.i'.OOO , and specie has increased

n excess of legal requirement.

Nonunion mid Union Sailors Fight at He.
ilonilo , fill.
Los Axor.LEs , Cul. , May 0. A conflict oc
curred between union und nonunion sailors
lit Hedoudo last nlghtvw1iich resulted In the
lieath of two men. Fo s'omo ' days the union
sailors have been endc\yorlng to got the non
union sailors off the schooner Halcyon , which
Is lying at the wharfi'therc. Last night a
number of union men 'frfyn ' San Pedro went
to Hcdondo to help thdltcdondo union sailors
kidnap the. crow of 'the Halcyon. Cap
tain Prior of the Halrijrin became aware of
the matter and hjtd u comifiblo mm
several deputies on bcfaVi ( the vessels. The
officers und crew werfe Alarmed. The union
men appeared thirty stlrpng and demanded
that the nonunion mcn'cDmo ashore , but the
latter refused. Thei-unlon men then en
deavored to board thoi > vt ssel , and its crow
tired a volley. Another/attempt called forth
a second volley , which , the union men re
turned and then dopanotl. It was not known
at the time that any oil5 was Injured , but It
was discovered today-that a nonunion man
named Peterson was shot and fell overboard.
His body has not been recovered yet. The
body of Michael Silver , a union man , was
found In the bottom of a boat at San Pedro
this morning. Ho was probably carried
there by his comrades after the light was
over.

tion of Charles W. Dapauw , president of the

circuit court today appointed John F. Me-
Gettlgen , president of the Indianapolis
Switch works , receiver of fie company's
business , with the privilege of continuing
the ibuslness until further orders of the
court. The stringency In the money market
and the recent heavy failures in the east arc
thought to have caused the suspension und
receivership. Liabilities , Immediately , will
aggregate $100,000 ; actual assets available
now and within the next six months more
thun quadruple the total liabilities.

i Poet : Ho bore many nnd
urious tattoo murks. Ho looked In
offensive , and an inquisitive man ven
tured to inquire why ho was marked so
strangely. Another : "Do all the nu
tivos of your country tuttuo like that ? "
A third : "Did it hurt much ? " No. 4 :
"Will it wash oil ? "
At last he struightoncd up nnd said ,
quietly :
"Those marks cxelto many curious
persons , but in tlio west the people nro
most inquisitive. Out there they curry
their signs with them. "
"Signs ? What kind of signs ? "
"Why , Hut noses. "
"Flat noses ? [ low la that ? "
"Well , you faeo they have no business
of their own and they llatton their noses
sticking them into other people's busi
ness. "
Then everybody talked of something
else.
You can never incasuro the spiritual wel
fare of a congregation from the height of

Tlir.SE twelve beautiful babies have been cured of the most torturing and dls
figuring of skin , scalp and blood diseases , with loss of hair , by the Crnct'RA UKME-
Dlis : after the best physicians and all other remedies had failed. The story of their
sufferings is almost too painful for recital. Tlic days of torture and nights of agony
from itching anil burning eczemas , and other skin , scalp nnd blood diseases. Add
to this the terrible disfigurement , nnd life seemed , in most cases , scarcely worlh the
living. Hut these cures arc but examples of hundreds made daily by the Cunct'RA
KKMr.nius. They may be heard of in every town , village nnd cross-roads. Grateful
mothers proclaim them everywhere. In short , CutlCURA works wonders , and it }
cures are among the most marvellous of this or nny age of medicine. To know that
a single application of the Curict'KA KiMiciirs : will , in the great majority of cases ,
afford instant relief , permit rest and sleep , and point to a permanent and economical
( because most speedy ) cure , and not to use them without a moment's delay , is to fail
in your duty. Cures made in infancy and childhood arc speedy , and permanent.
