Tlioro was no play In the state tennis tournament yesterday , and us far as present appearances go none Will bo possible today. Yesterday morning tlio courts on Harnoy street wore : so soft from Monday's rain that Itvoa at once seen that It would need a hot sun to got them Into good condition oven by today ; but the rain of yesterday afternoon nnd the dampness that still pervaded the air after the rain stopped "makes It next to ImposMblo that the courts wilt have dried lufllclcntly for play oven by tonight. The committee Is exceedingly disappointed at the turn events have taken , but Is de termined to inako a start Just as soon as It becomes practical. Every preparation had boenmndu for yesterday , the players wore nil on hand , some of them having corao from towns In distant parts of the stato. It Is hoped that all ot thcso will bo able to ro- inain In Omaha until the ovcut Is concluded , though It Is ( | iilto likely now that that may not bo until the middle of next wook. IIAU1NU JIUSUIYM.

St. rutrlck'ft Ciithoilrul , Now York , Filled to Ovcrllowini ; on the Occasion. Nnw YOIIK , Aug. 15. Ponllflcal mass was coleuralcd at 10 o'clock this morning in St. Patrick's cathedral by Archbishop Satolll , the papal representative In this country. In the Catholic church the day was the feast of the AsiumpUon of the Virgin Mary. Above all the presence of the aposlollo delegate brought lo the cathedral ono of the largest crowds over irathurod within It. After pushing , shoving , elbowing and surg ing lo and fro m Iho aisles for half an hour Iho crowd decided lo lake possession of Iho pows. Men and women alike discarded all propriety. Men vaulted into the seals whoso doors were locked nnd pulled Ihelr female friends after them. Archbishop Satolii sat upon the throne at left of the sanctuary. On either side of the papal delegate stood a priest , who waited upon him , removing and replacing his hat at prescribed moments in the mass and hand ing to him the vessels used in the celebra tion of the masb aud the book Irom which he intoned. The mass was elaborate , long und impres sive. The address of Archbishop Corrigan was the event of the morning. His words were listened to with almost breathless silence by the great throng. Archbishop Corrigan said that every bishop took a solemn oath to be faithful and obedientto ; Peter , the apostle , and the Roman church , to the sovereign pontiff of Iho lime being , and lo his legitimate successors. Ho then sketched the decrees of the different ecumenical councils which enforced obedi ence by the prelates of the church to the holy see , and said ho re called thcso fundamental principles ef church government so that all might more fully appreciate the honor conferred by the presence of the most reverend reprcsenta- lives of Ihe holy falhcr. He commented upon tbo loyalty of the church in America to the holy see aud said it was humiliating that it should bo necessary for him to deny the charge that he had been disloyal. Ho hoped the attacks which had been made upon him had been1 inspired by ignorance rather than by malice. .Ifo could sayat any rale , wllh his Dlvmo Masler : "Father , forgive them , for lheykuow-not what they do. " In con clusion ho .extended a'welcomo to the apostolic tolic delegate. " CENTRAL LABOR UNION. Now Oimrtorn ntClty Hull Occnplml Tor the First Tlmo Il t KvtMiiiif ; . The members "of Central Labor union con gregated last night in the larc room on the Jlfth floor of the city hall , which was put at the disposal of that organization by the city council two weeks ago after repeated ef forts by labor representatives to obtain this privilege. The arguments used wore that 12,000 work- inginen in 'tlio city , a largo proportion of whom were taxpayers , ought toboaccordcd what was termed this right , and so the cHy fathers yielded to the request. The meeting called for last night appeared to bo moro for the purpose of making the members acquainted with the now location and show them Iho advantages. of Iho now quarters rather than to consider grave ques tions affecting labor Incrcsts. No speeches were made or work performed boyonu Ihe oleclion of several chairmen and sccrclnrios for four or llvo different commit tees.

WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED OF THE SENATE Ohnnrm for the Unromlltlmml , Ilopoal of the .Shormnii Law Urou-lng I'ower livery liny Krvloxr of ttio Hittm- tlon by ii Correspondent * CiucAno , Aug. 15. A Washington special to the Even tug No ws says : ' 'The convlcllon is growing stronger with congressmen that the efforts to settle the silver question will bo futile. The anti-silver men nro very nervous about the vote on the provisions of Iho free coinage of silver at a ratio of 20 to 1. The silver men base their strongest hopes ou that amendment. They have no fear of n repeal bill becoming n law without some condition advantageous to silver being at tached by the senate. It Is the expression of old heads today that It will bO' absolutely Impossible for unconditional repeal to go through Iho senate. Tno silver men are counting on a very close vote In the house on the 20 to 1 amendment. Without quite venturing the hope that this amendment will carry at once , they express the opinion that if it should fall the popularity of the proposition will bo sufllclently demonstrated to lead the senate to accept that as the strongest measure in connection with the repeal bill , and that the silver senators will secure that provision in any bill which may pass that body. If the two houses agree .on a bill with a free coinage provision it is bo- lloved that the president will vote It , so the situation appears to bo unfavorable to the accomplishment of anything. "There is no doubt that as soon as the committee on banking and currency has or ganized in the house it will get to work at once on some general measure. In which sil ver will not Ilcure , providing for an Increase in the volume of currency to meet all de mands of trade. They see that there is mure chance of accomplishing something in this line than in the line ou which they are already working on. But tlio whole situa- llon is terribly mixed , aud the wisest do not yet see their way clear. " SlIjVKIt M.KN TO ASSK.Ulir.12. President 1-lnk at thu Itlmotalllo I.miguo 1IIG4 U I.tMlgtliy Cllll.

The executive commit- mltteo of the Pan-American Bimetallic as sociation mot today and issued the following call : IlK.UlQUAHTEllS OF THK PjLN-AMBiHCUJf Bl- METALLIC ASSOCIATION' A convention is hereby called of representatives from old Mexico and all the states thereof , of all the countries of South and Central America and of tlio stales of Alabama , Arizona , Arkansas , California , Colorado , Floriua , Georgia.Idaho , Iowa , Kansas , Kentucky , Louisiana , Mis souri , Minnesota , Mississippi , Montana , Ne braska , Nevada. Now Mexico , North Carolina lina , North Dakota , Oklahoma , Oregon , South Carolina , South Dakota , Tennessee , Texas , Utah" , West Virginia , Virginia , Washington and Wyoming , to moot in St. Louis , Mo. , ou Tuesday , October 3 , 18t. ! ) ; This association was organized at 121 Paso , Tex. , at the ( southwest silver convention held in that city on Iho 5th. Oth , 7th and 8th of December , IS'J- . and at which many of the leading and wealthiest citizens of the states of old Mexico aud' the countries of South and Central America were In attendance. It was there ordered that convention . , repre senting all the stales bo held In Denver in Dctober , 18'JX The extraordinary condi tion of the Business and industries of the United Stales , the danger which threatens the money of Mexico and the counlries of Soulh anu Central America , as wqll as that 3f the United States , the Ticcossity for broader remedies than the association can apply under the literal construction of its constitution , have induced the executive commitloalo chungiv Iho place of meeting and to sugtrost other subjects for considera tion than that alone of bimetallism. It is very evident that the center or the conspiracy in this country lo utterly demone tize silver and thrust the United States upon a single metallic standard that of gold for Its currency , is in New York , Bos ton , Philadelphia and Baltimore. The press of thcso cities has become thoroughly sub servient to the end of the conspirators and has so imbued the minds of Iho people of Iho stutes in which these cities are and the sur rounding states that they have all become hoslilo lo the welfare and advancement of the west and south whoso inleresls are in separably blended with a fair and full volume umo of money , which cannot bo secured and maintained unless silver lias restored its functions of primary money upon which , in company with gold , the credit money of the country may rest. In the name of "honest rnonoy" these slates are parties to the spoliation of our sections , and the cities named are the prime instigators of the crime. It has seemed to us that wo should not fallen and .strengthen such cities with the vast trade and commerce of our sections. Not only does self-respect aud self-preserva tion require that wo should deal with friends , but the geographical position of the slates , the facilities for ports on the Gulf and its tributaries and upon the Pacilic coast , the proximity of Mexico and Central and South America to the Gulf and Califor nia lines of thu United Stales , the shorter distances from them to many European and Asiatic ports , and the bettor railroad and iutorwalerway facilities from them lo nearly every quarter of the west and south , all combine to render practicable and readily feasible Iho building up of porls along the Gulf , Its river tributaries and the Pacific coast line , through which the great bulk of our grain , ore , meats , raw material and manufactured goods may roach Mexico. South and Central America , European and Asiatic ports and the wares and products of other climes bo returue'd to us with recipro cal prollts. Wo , therefore , urge upon the governments of Mexico , South and Central America and upon the American stales interested in Iho work and upon all the commercial nnd manu facturing bodies within them , to send dele gates to the convention , and wo further re quest all railroad and steamship lines of this und the South American continent aud of Europe nnd Asia interested In establishing now ports and lines of communication upon the lines suggested , to send representatives for consultation and suggestions. Lot us proceed in this work with deliberation - tion , but firmness. It Is a great and patriolic task , as wall as of mutual prollt and ad vantage.

"Speaking from a brief experience here , it seems lo mo that busi ness forget the Important influence that Australia exerts on the silver quoation , " said Thomas P.

In that country ho is chair man of tbo board of directors of the Well ington & Manuwntu Huilway company and Is largely interested in commercial and banking investments. "Australia produces more silver than the United States , though , of course , during the last three months most of the mines have shut down owing to the prevailing depression. Take the Broken Hill property In south Australia , , for Instance , nnd It will show a bigger return than the famous Comstock mines. . I have not yet had time or opportuully to invostlga o the trouble here , but I think now that it Is largely duo to the stoppage of free coinage iu India. In Australia we have passed through the worst.

Vlco I'ronldvMt Vnillnmn1 story. Vice President Williams of the Northern 'aclflcsays : 4lTn consequence of the extra ordinary depression of business and the stoppage of shipments along the Hue of the Northern Pacific railroad , the company ins been forced to acquiesce In au npplica- .lon for receivers. No company could long stand such severe pres sure. The falling oft In earnings s owing to several causes. The money slrlngcnby prevents the marketing of crops , cattle and products of all klnils ; consc- juently the road is not galling Iho traffic usual to thlk season of the year. The fail ure of banks tied up money upon which wo leponded for cash. The depression prevail- ng over the whole country is exceptionally icqoro In the younger states , so general business along our main and branch Hues is practically at a stankstill. The re- : oivershlp moans the preservation of the property and the conservation of all interests until bolter times. The road has demonstrated in the past what its earning capacity really is. and when pros- > crous times return the revenues of the company will again more than exceed the expectations of those Interested in the miperty. The original bill was Hied by the [ 'armors Loan and Trust company and other creditors and stockholders in the district court of the United States for Wisconsin , uid the appointments were made there to day. Auxiliary bills were Hied in Now York , Illinois , Minnesota , Dakota , Montana , fdaho , Washington nnd Oregon and the sumo lorsons appointed receivers in each separate urisd lotion. " Another KxpliinsUlon. From an oftlclal source it is learned that .ho main cause for the appointment of the receiver , is that the guarantee syndicate , or certain members of it , failed to make good iheir subscriptions , alleging that they had uecn misled as lo Iho actual condition of the property. Since the completion of the Manitoba road to the Pacific const , the com pany has had a hard struggle. For instance , its earnings in July were only $ 'J.01U,4'J5 , a decrease for the month of $ SS.SOO , as com pared wilh the same month in IS'J'J. Henry Crouse.who was appointed ono of the receivers , it is understood , represents the Standard Oil party which has the largest interest In tlio property. The North Amerieali company has not sacrificed its Northern Pacific holdings and expects to weather the storm. ON 12.FA ItU K.VTKS.

At Thursday's meeting of the Western Passengcriassociation will bo considered the plan of trying a week of ono- faro rates for the round Irip.

The point * affected will bo thcso : Wisco/isin , Michigan , Illinois , Iowa and In diana. ' . INeavly nll-itho eastern , lines are laking lib erties with the in-availing World's fair rates , and the reason why no specific complaint hns been made is that nearly all the lines arc in it and cannot , with good grounds , complain of their competitors. The agreement of the Ohio river lines lo raise rates en August 21 is likely to bo at tended ivlth some trouble. "The Lake Erie & Western was , in the original agreement , a $2. . " > 0 differential between Chicago and Indianapolis. Now it declares it will make the differential $4.05. This will knock tlm proposed agreement into splinters. The Chicago & West Michigan road today decided to pass a dividend for the present. Earnings of the Chicago & Northwestern for tlio year ending May 31 show a decrease in the not earnings of $070,000.

It has been learned hero that a certain Now York paper has cir culated a report purporting to come from an ox-president of the Denver & Hio Grande railroad , to the effect that that company would be in the hands of a receiver inside of two weeks. The prophecy Is based upon tlio comparison of the August , 16'JJ , earnings with this year's receipts , which show a. decrease - crease of several hundred thousand dollars. President 12. T. Jeffrey of the Uio Grande was seen tonight and emphatically denied that there was any probability of a receiver. being appointed. There has , of course , been a decrease this year in the earnings , but when the fact that thu conclave of last year swelled the receipts enormously Is consid ered , it will bn seen thai Iho discrepancy Is not as great as supposed.

In several places tno white men have hold meetings and notified the Chlneso that they must make room for white laborers , Many of the ranch owners have decided to discharge their Chinese help and employ whites. Serious riots have been narrowly averted in several places , At iSelma , a small town near Fresno , white men notified the Chinese that thoy- must leave town and raako room for white laborers. At Fresno yesterday unemployed men to the number of over 600 held a moot ing and paraded through the streets de nouncing the Chinese. The crowd started toward Chinatown where 2,000 Chlneso re side , but were diverted from their purpose by cool headed citizens. ' The merchants and vlnoyardlsts of Fresno held a mooting and many of thorn announced that they would discharge their Chinese help and employ white labor. Ono man took thirty white men on the spot and marched them off to his vineyard , Another announced that ho , in a few days , would hiivo work for 200 men.

The coinmlttoo on llnanco of the senate held a meeting today , at which for nn hour and n half the silver question was discussed. The only result of Lho meeting wis that authorizing Mr. Voor- hecs to favorably report the bill increasing the circulating notes of national banks to Iho par value of the bonds deposited , In the committee room there was some very persistent opposition to the reporting of this measure by Vance nnd Jones of Ar kansas. The discussion only tended to show that the finance committee was as far removed - moved as over from common ground on the question of general legislation on the lluiui- cial situation and the repeal of Iho purchas ing clause of thu Sherman law in particular. It was agreed that the committee should , be ginning with Saturday next , hold daily sessions. Thu members of the committee are as firm und unyielding as the llrst day they mot. The anti-silver men on the. committee are Senators Sherman , McPhurson , Merrill , Allison and Aldrich. The silver men arc Senators Harris , Vance , Vest , Jouos of Arkansas , und Jones of Nevada , with Mr. Voorheos. the chairman , holding the balance of power. How ho will vote may decide the action of the committee. Ho has said that he is in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law. either with conditions or without ; that ho will vote for it without conditions , but by so doing docs not give up his alle giance to silver as a money motal. Ho has said that the voto.ou the repeal will not in dicate the standing of the senate on the quostiorrof bimetallism at all and for that reason is willing to go on record in that way. On the other hand should the ultra silver men agree upon aoiuo measure not too radi cal In its character , it is said that possibly Mr. Voorhees might go with them. So far the committee is 'divided on lilies that show the extremes of the proposition. The silver men insist they will submit to nothing but free coinage at .tho present- ratio , and the other side , with equal emphasis , assert that the only thing they will endorse wjll bo the uiiuonJllloual repeal of the purchasing clause.
