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.

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.

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. To this cud the members of the latter
gathered in little groups , and in fifteen min

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. "

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

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.

CHICAGO , Aug. 15. "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. McCarthy of Wellington ,
Now Zealand , todav , as ho sat In the Grand
Pacific hotel. 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

through the worst. Out of seventeen joint

Nttw YOIIK , Aug. 15. Thomas F. O.ikcs of
* few York , II. C. Payne of Milwaukee , and
Icnrj Crouso , president of the Missouri ,
Cnnsas & Texas Hiilroati company , were
his afternoon appointed receivers for the
Northern Pacific railroad In the United
States court of this city.
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.

Western llnnils Considering the Ailvls-
alilllty of Trying tin Kxporiinont.
CHICAGO , Aug. 15. 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 managers
of the World's fair have been trying for
some timo.lo got the roads to make the ex
periment for Ono week only , nnd the western
roads will talk over the plan and make the
trial. 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.

UENVEH , Aug. 15. 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. The road bus. no
bond interest to pay until November. It Is
in good condition and there is no reason for
the rumor.

SAN FIUXCISCO , Aug. 15. The crusade
against Chinese laborers has been started In
the San Joaquln valley and seems to bo
spreading over the state. Owing to the
financial troubles u largo number of white
men are out of work , whllo many Chlneso
are employed steadily on the ranches und in
the vineyards. 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. Thus far there has
been no violence and It looks as if the unem
ployed white men in the San Joaquln valley
would displace Chinese labor ,

Ilow lt Mu.iilicrx Stiiiul on the Silver
Question.
W.VSIIINOION , Aug. in. 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. '

it was locked. The cleric is a light sleeper ,
and when ho heard the door rattling ho sat
up iu bed and pointing his revolver at the
entrance , fired several shots.
The ofllcor sought n place of safety and
waited until tin : clerk had emptied , his gun.
Ho then went up and asked what was the
matter. The clone told him how several
burglars had attempted to break into thu
store and that he had driven them away by
shooting at them. The clerk felt pretty
phcap when lie was told that ho had shot at
nn olllcor. It is s.lid he implored socrcsy ,
but the story leaked out last night and the
drug store enjoyed a splendid cigar trade at
the expense of the excitable clerk.
