PAUH. Doc. 7 , Dr. Tourotto , n well known
pupil of thn late Dr. Charcot , was shot
while seated In his consulting room yester
day evening.
It appears that Dr. Tourotto was seated at
his desk reading a book when the door of his
consulting room was opened and a pretty
young woman entered and rapidly approached
preached the doctor. The latter , upon hearIng -
Ing the rustle of the woman's dress and the
sound ot her footsteps , turned his head and
must have sprung to his foot and attempted
to escape from the room. The womiui llrod
three shots nt him with n revolver before ho
could make his exit from the roonl , ono of
the shots taking effect behind Dr.Tourette s
The noise caused by the revolver shots
attracted the doctor's servant and other
people to the spot and the woman , who held
the s noklug revolver In her hand , was seized
and disarmed. , .
When arrested she nt first refused to _ ! yo
any account of horsclf , but later on said
her name was Camper und excitedly de
clared that ho was justified in shooting Ur.
Tourctto , as ho had placed her under his
hpynotlo influence and that It was impossi
ble for her to gain possession of her own
will until she killed htm.
Dr. Tourotto 11 not dangerously wounded ,
nnd It is expected as soon as ho recovers ho
will bo able to show that the jiollco theory
that the woman Is insane is correct.

LONDON , Dec. 7. . The Dally News says it
is understood that the report ot the commis
sion appointed to investigate the Fcathcr-
sionc riots will say that there wcro errors
of Judgment on the part ot the authorities ,
but will admit that the firing upon the
rioters was justifiable under the conditions

This was ono of the worst cases of rlotlnjr
that occurred during the recent great coal
Btriko In England , which was ended by the
government Intervention. Foatherstonu Is
a small town in the south of Yorkshire , not
far north of Shcniold. Thn strikers at
tacked the machinery ami bultdhiB around
the mouth of the nits of lx > rd Masham , it
wealthy property owner , who is extremely
unpopular with the wnndmj classes. This
unpopularity nroso largely from thonttltutlc
ho took up In relation to hi ? workpeople
when the McKinley tariff bill wont into
effect and which resulted in a disastrous
strike of 4,000 operatives In his sllK and
plush mills in Bradford. The fact that ho
was created a poor ( his name before was
Saui Cunllito Lister ) immediately after this
utriko added largely to the ill feollnir.
The question which the commission of lu-
quiry had to decide1 wan whether the order
to the troops to lire , which resulted In the
death of several of the strikers , was justi
fied.

RAISING KANSAS CITY RATES
Has Been Decided that Grain Tariffs Shall
Bo Advanced Soon.
HOW. FAR THEY WILL BE SENT UPWARD
The IturlliiEtoii Decide * to AholiftU n Rnto
thnt UlKorlmlnntcn ARitlnU Omnlin "
Judge Tlinraton on the Union 1'n-
clllo Situation llml Motet.
Grain rates to Kansas City anil Leavon-
worth will bo advanced 4 cents a hundred
December 10 by the Burlington , although
for some days past the members of the Com-
morclat exchange ot Kansas City have been
bringing superhuman efforts to boar on the
Burlington people to withhold the raise fern
n time at least. The oluolals of the Hurling *
ton were in session for two days with
the representatives of the Commercial ex
change In an endeavor to adjust mattersbut
the mooting finally adjourned Wednesday.
Mr. George H. Crosby , general freight agent
of the B. A ; M. , returned homo yesterday
morning. Mr. Crosby was not inclined to
talk of the action taken by the representa
tives of the Burlington system except to say
that the new tarllT had been issued raising
rates In some cases 4 cents a hundred , effec
tive December 10.
The position taken by the Burlington is
outlined by a Burlington man as follows :
' On the 10th day of last June grain rates
wcro raised to the Mississippi river anil Chicago
cage 4 cents a huudrod , also to St. Louis and
the south , but the proportionate raise to the
Missouri river was forgotten or overlooked.
The Burlington bus been unable lo control
any of the through business at Kansas City
because of the existing rcconslgnmcni rules ,
thus subjecting us to losses which has been
nddect to by the Kansas City grain men who
have In our Judgment overstepped their
right In coming Into territory tributary to
Omaha. This contemplated raise i.s , there
fore , only a matter ot self-protection. Just as
a merchant would endeavor to protect bis
trade. The Burlington handles nearly 20
per cent of the grain going south via Kansas
City , which is considerable of a grain mar
ket , hut by the rules in force thnro wo are
unable to regulate any portion of the haul
whatever.
"Thcro has long boon a disparity of rates
hi fuvoc of Kansas City and against Omaha ,
which latter city had a right to demand a
regulation ot the differentialtmd It was upon
these grounds and the further ground that
wo have seemingly ran into a stone wall at
Kansas City In the transfer of grain to Gulf
uolnts that wo thought tlio Increase should
take place.
"Of course , the raise In rates wlll'not ben-
cilt Omaha particularly , except if there was
a.grain market hero it would put it upon a
parity with Kausas City. The now rates
will not affect St. Joseph , but will raise the
rates to Lcavenworth and Kansas City. "
The advance in the rate "to Kansas City
will .compel the shipment of much grain
which would otherwise pass throueh the
city by the Kaw to como via Omaha , the
Burlington's short route to the south.

Jtiilgn Tliiirnton's Ailvloe to tho'Colorado
Opponent * of the Union 1'iiclllr.
Judge John M. Thurstou , general solicitor
of the Union Pacific system , has returned
from St. Louis , where ho went to argue the
Union Pacific and Western Union Telegraph
company case against the Uutcd States before
the circuit court of appeals. lie was not
inclined tj predict tlio outcome of tlio case ,
which was taken under advisementbut from
his manner ono might judge that ho looked
forward to a modification of Judge Brewer's
order made last year in tlio same case
which would practically glvo the Union
Pacific all It asked. . ' ,
Passing to the q'uestion of disintegration
of the Union Pacific , which THE BEE exclu
sively brought up last Saturday , and speak
ing of the action of tlio German bondholders
of the Oregon Railway & Navigation company - '
pany , tne eminent counsel said : "Tho'action '
is by no means a surprise. It is a prelim
inary stop much desired by the receivers of
thoUiilon Pacillc.who have wanted to "trans
act matters pertaining to the receivership
with sorao one person or bank uuthorl/cd to
act hi behalf of the stockholders. This has
been done. There is no fear of dismember
ment of the system taking place , as the In
terests of the Union Pacific are too closely
interwoven to bo lightly put aside , , 'i'hero
is nothing suspicious about the mooting of
the German bondholders in Berlin yester
day , but it was only a preliminary stop in
assisting the receivers to manipulate the
liroperty for the best interests of all con
cerned. "
Speaking of tlio union Pacific , Denver &
Gulf situation Judge Tnurston remarked
that if the men in Denver persisted in' their
present course they might bo found holding
the sack , or words equivalent to that well
known phrase.
"Tho most valuable property whicli wont
into the Union PncitiJJonver and Gulf con
solidation was the Colorado Central , " said
Mr. Thurston. elevating his spectacles from
the crease in jiis nose , "and that matter"
value refers to the Independent earning
capacity of tlio road and the Union Pncllio.
The original first mortgage bonds of the
Colorado Central , the greater portion
of which are owned by > the
Union Pacific , were not retired
or superseded by the collateral
mortgage of the consolidated company.1'ho
collateral mortgage contemplated taking up
all the underlying mortgages of the several
constituent companies , but the Colorado
Central mortgage carried 1 , per cent more
intcr.cst than the now consolidated mort
gage , therefore the holders of the Colorado
Central bonds refused lo exchange their
bonds for a lower rate of bonds of tlio con
solidated mortgage. If the Union Piicltlc ,
Denver ft Gulf system under the now re
ceiver should fail to meet the interest pay
ments on the Colorado Central mortgage
the bondholders under that mortgage would
commence foreclosure proceedings , asking
bogrcgallon of 'the Colorado Central lines
from the balance of the ( Suit systoin , and
would undoubtedly bo entitled to a separate
receiver pending foreclosure. "
Should this so rcgalion take place , inti
mated by Judge Thui'atoii as among tlio pos
sibilities , it would leave the Union Pacific :
D'uivor & Gulf , the Tc/as line about IKK )
miles In extent , some minor branches In
Colorado , also the Cheyenne & Northern ,
lines which could hardlvpiy operating ex
penses were they cut rift from the main sys
tem of the Union Pacific.
"Under the new" receivership , " continued
Judgo'Thurston , "tho Union Pacltlo , Denver
&G ilf would bo left In an embarrassing posi
tion unless some entirely harmonious ar-
ratiBomcnt could bo made with the Union
Pnolllo , as the Cheyenne & Northern and
the line now forming part of the short line
lo Denver from La Sallo to Julesburg coula
not bo reached by anv other line of the
Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf oxcupt bv con
nection over Union Pacific lines ; Under
tilt-so conditions it Is safe to assume that
the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf would bo
only too glad lo got hack Into tha fold after
a period with some foreign receivers. "
Apropos of the above a telegram wits ro.
icivcd by TUB Br.B yesterday from Den
ver that by consent of the lawyers on both
sides of ihe case the hearing of the argu
ment for ttio appointment of a receiver for
the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf had been
continued by Judge Ilallolt until Monday ,
led to A'HFH * ttio Krpot.
TOI-KKA , Dec. 7. The published report of
the State Board ot Railroad Assess /-s does
not show that the union depot ut L/3avou-
worth ha s been assessed. It is a cot porallon
entitled "Leavcnworih Union Depot and
Railroad conipai'y , " the stock being held by
the railroads that use it. Secretary of State
Oaborne say * the property was assessed.
No onu doubts that if the property was over
looked it was an oversight on thc'parpof the
board. In this case , thu prececUiie boards
have been guilty of the same oversight. The
property is about of the simo vuluo an the

tion wcro such promlticntclilzcns as ox-Sena
tor N' . P. Hlll.T. M. Patterson , C.S.Thonms ,
A. S. l''lsit and C. W. Hawloy.
President Morrlclc , in his opening address ,
said : "As an orRantzatloti , > vo demand the
restoration to all the people of the United
States of the law In relation to coinage as it
existed from before the adoption of the
federal constitution and down to 1873. This
wo believe to bo the ouo and only Important
( uestlan before the American people today.
It is not only an American question , but it is
a world question , upon the 11 mil and Just
solution of which depends the welfare of the
millions of the wealth producers now , and of
the millions who will como after us hi the
future. "
Ho asked whether the promised benoflts
had followed the repeal of the Sherman law ,
ana said the goldbui-s now admit something
must bqjdono to supply the deficiency lu the
moiio.v volume. Borrowing ijold would give
us relief , but add to the already Intolerable
burden of debt. The remedy was coinage of
both gold and stiver at the old ratio and the
Issuing of all paper currency by the govern
ment. After transacting routine business
the convention voted that the president ap
point a committee of llvo. with himself as
chairman , to draft an tuUircsi to the people
of the United States in advocacy of the ob
jects or the league.
President Morrlclc appointed T. U. Bu
chanan Of Denver . C. Paddock of Boulder ,
Hobert Tumor of Idaho Springs and .1. F.
Murray as tlio committee , with himself as
chairman , to draft an address to the people.
The committee submitted tonight an ad
dress which was adopted , of which the fol
lowing is a synopsis : " "
Adilrcii lo the People.
' The Silver league declares its determina
tion to press upon the people of the United
States the Imperative necessity for the ro-
inonotizitlon of silver. The misfortunes
now general throughout the land are caused
by vicious legislation , particularly that mak
ing gold -tho solo measure of commercial
value.
' The people everywhere are urged to in
quire dilllgently into iho silver question , to
the end that the motives of western citizens
may bo relieved of all the misrepresenta
tions at present prevalent.
' The people of Colorado are not suffering
from" present conditions more than those
elsewhere. BecaUse of our snarso popula
tion and the great wealth of our natur.tl
resources wo can live while the people of
the dense industrial centers of the cast will
starve.
"Tho free coinage ot silver will not re
dound to the mining regions alone , but also
to the agricultural and manufacturing
stales. " *
i Tn closing the address ho recommends that
lui voters everywhere shall return only men
to the next congress pledged to restore sil
ver to Its proper place.
A resolution censuring Secretary Carlisle
r his position toward silver was , after
much discussion , referred to the oxecutlvo
committee for revision.
, An American Financial Policy.
A lengthy and somewhat heated debate
occurred upon a resolution declaring that
the United States should iiavo an 'American
financial policy and not depend upon a mon
archy for its monetary system. Also that
gold , silver and -paper shall constitute the
money of this country.
Objection was rnado to the incorporation
of greenbacks in this resolution , but it was
finally adopted.

Thcro Is but little to bo nald of Hoyt's "A
Trip to Chinatown , " which opened a throe
nights engagement at Boyd's last night.
Mr. Hoyt has an appendix to his program ,
In winch ho states that whatever the audi
ence thinks of the play , that's what the
author claims for it , or words lo that effect.
People who don't like the performance are
disarmed by such tautlcs. Omaha audiences
are familiar with "A Trl'i to Chinatown. "
They Have seen It before , but they don't
tire of it , and the very largo audi
ence that witnessed the performance
lust night was as cnthuslnstlu
and interested as though the play wore scor
ing Us first lilt. An innovation in the pre
sentation ot farce comedy that was thor
oughly appreciated was the use of special
scenery carried by the company and used
very ofloctlvely In the second act , "Tho
Hicho Hotel. "
"A Trip to Chinatown , " Is in the hands of
the original cast , including Harry Conor ,
Anna Boyd , I ottio Mortimer , George Beano
and Harry Gllfoll , and U presented In a
manner only possible by such capable com
edians. There are many now songs and spe
cialties calculated to strengthen the hold
Unit this best effort of Hoyt already has on
amusement seekers.

Notwithstanding a strong counter attrac
tion , the Fifteenth Street theater was com
fortably llllod last ovcnlmj by an appreci
ative audience desirous of seeing Miss IShta
Proctor Otis in the character of Mrs. Kast-
lake Chapel , ono ot the strong portraitures
of the stage. Miss Otis plays the part some
what differently from Miss Tilbury , who
essayed it earlier hi the weok. She
makes this woman of "Tho Crust of Society"
more of a French cocotte than Miss Tilbury ,
and not without some degree of Justice.
Miss Otis , with her Ions residence
abroad , lias acquired ninny of the ways of
the Parisians and brings to the character
the warmth , the passion and the diplomacy
of the Gauls. There are bits of business In
troduced by Miss Otis that are exceed
ingly effective , the play ot the hands ,
her airy b.idinago all uniting to make
a really strotiK and earnest character
ization. This young graduate from the
amateur stage has ability and will bo heard
from in more exacting lines than that re
quired by the society drama. She has
beauty , n mapnlHcent form , good voice and
would adorn old English comedy as no other
young actress the writer now recalls. What
a Lady Gay Spanker she would make , or a
Peg Wellington I Miss Tilbury was all that
the most carping critic might require in the
role 6f Mrs. teoho. Hero Is a really flno
actress , and theater goers ought to see this
performance. The dresses wcro now and the
play is well put on.
