Within n fortnight the effect of the segre gation of the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf from thu Union Pnelllei system will bo more apparent than now , ns It Is confidently pre dicted that quite TOO employe will bo discharged from the service of the Union Pacific company on account of Judge Hal- lott's decision appointing nn Independent re ceiver for the Gulf read. The shops hero will teel the effect of the order as well ns the clerical force attached to the headquar ters. In fact , t lie soverii nee of the roads promises to bo farther reaching than Is at present thouitht possible , Denver reaping the benefit , Av'illc Omaha must needs sutler ihruiigh Iho transfer. Although the officials about the head quarters have endeavored to scoff nt ttio idea that the withdrawal of the Union Pacific. Denver Ac Gulf would Hcrlously affect tlio employes of the Union Pacific , It is nevertheless true that quite MO employes will be dlschargiid In the not distant future. ivhich is made necessary by the now order of things. It is Mr. Truinbull'H desire to give Denver the entire operation of the system , ihat nil car repairs shall bo made there , as well as thu entire business of the road transacted in the mountain city. Under these conditions and the unlimited power glen to the receiver by Judge Ilallott , It is safe to assume that everything will bo done in the Interest of Denver. TrnmbuH's Kxuentlvo Stair.

It is understood Mr. Wild lias accepted the position tendered , having como to the Union Pacific from the Denver & Gulf before the amalgamation of the hitler with tno former road. But Mr. Djucl , although temporarily in charge of both properties at Danver as superintendent of the mountain envi sion of the Union Pacific by rea son of a telegram sent him Sunday by Mr. Dickinson , is seriously debuting the question whether ho can af ford to sever his connection with the Union Pacific nnd go to a road that may have a legal existence but a year or two nt best , Mr. Ady , on the other hand , is inclined to let well enough iilnnn. havintr in addition to his ponltion ns gener.il agent ot the Union Pacific at Denver tlio local ticket oflicc , which brings him considerable revenue in the way of commissions , ncttintr him in the neighborhood of 5W"i ! per month , a salary which Ihe Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf could not afford to nay u general passenger agent per month at this time.

Tiirmlnnl Fucllltlei , Some days ago Tnu BEE intimated that negotiations had been entered Into between thu Union Pacific und the Omaha Bridge & Tcrinlna" " company for the purchase on the part of the latter of the tracks of the Union Pacific north ofGraca street. At the meet ing' of Union Pacific receivers held in New York recently the sale of tbeso tracks was discussed , the receivers glviu ? their sanction to the transfer for a consideration of $8T ,000 and it Is understood that President Clark will bring with bun on his return from New York Thursday power to sell the tracks should the court hero ucquiesco in tlio sale. Tno purchase of these tracks will give the Omaha Uridgo and Terminal compunv en larged trackage facilities us well us an nut let to thn roads on thu south nnd permit the now company to set down cars at nearly ull the wholesale and manufacturing establish ments hi iho city.

Senator Teller , who bus Just roturncil from Mexico , In an interview with n representative of the Associated press , said : ' -Mexico Is enjoying a greater dogrco of prosperity than over before - fore and there is a very hopeful feeling among the ueople , both for the present anil the fnturo. Manufactures are springing up everywhere. ' 1'ho country h is miile ; great progress In the Industrial arts anil pursuits during the lust seven ami clijtit years and nil the foreigners that 1 met said thul the progress made In that time was pncnomcnal and would contlnuo. The high p-ico of ox- rlmngo has stimulated the production of very many articles not licmtoforn produced In Mexico and will largely stimulate the export of agricultural products. This is particularly true of coffee , and 1 found quite n largo number of American nml English capitalists who are putting their money Into eoiTeo plantations. Hut it Is quite apparent to me that the greatest Held for Investment is In general manufactures , including the production of cotton and woolen goods , as well as the manufacture of machinery of all kinds uncl classes. XVcIl Inl'nrniRil on Silver. "At the Ultyot Mexico 1 mot the presi dent and the members of his cabinet , usd the heads of the departments. I found everywhere a great interest in tlio silver question and that the Mexican oftleitils w.ero ns thoroughly Informed as to the situation as our own people. They had evidently fol lowed the silver debates hi congress with a great deal of attention and consequently understood the policy of the situation as though they lived within our own borders. "Tho present production of silver in Mexico amounts to about S-M.OOO.OOO an nually and I do not believe it vlll diminish , but rather expect to see it increase. "There is u deslro to see the United States take hold of the silver question and settle It , There Is a general sentiment among the public men that there should bo closer commercial relations between Mexico and the United States , In which I heartily concur. 1 believe It quite practicable for the United States to inako a treaty with Mexico something Hko the ono negotiated by Grant , that will bo of great bcnellt to Mexico and the Unttcd States. Imports Tt'xttn Cottou. "I visited i very largo cotton mill there that Had 50,000 spindles and 1,000 looms with all the modern appliances and 1 was quite surprised to find that moat of the cotton being consumed was from Texas. While Mexico produces a great deal of cotton it docs not produce as much as is consumed in the manufactures of that country. There are many other now and extensive manufac tures , such as a large iron establishment at Durango and a furniture manufactory in the City of Mexico which is supplying the peo- pis with furniture for which they have heretofore sent to Europe. ' 1 visited the mint in Mexico , a very largo establishment which has been In operation a great many years , and has produced more silver coins than any other mint in the world. They have no gold in circulation , hut have bills the same as in this country. Silver is the general circulating medium and Is the standard of value. There has been no falling oft' in prices in Mexico as has been the case in the United States in the last twenty years , and prices are practically stable , except ns there has been some In creased activity of business which , of course , has a tendency to raise prices of products as well as to slightly raise the price otj labor , but not much. " In reply to a question , Mr. 'lellor said : "There seems to bo nn sueciul interest in an international contcrencj except ns it may affect the United States by inducing us to rcmonotizo silver. Mexico will * maintain free coinage , no matter what other coun tries may do. " I-.1.V LKVrKft IXniOTMKST. Federal Cmml Jury nt DulMiquc Tnkci Ac tion In tin ) Caso. DrnrqrK. Dec. IS.

The first skirmish occurred over the question of reading the instructions to Minister \Vlllis , which was Insisted upon by Mr. Boutclle of Maine. The house finally agreed to this nnd Im mediately after the conclusion of this readIng - Ing Mr. Boutcllo renewed the assault by bringing forward a resolution declaring tlio administration's policy Inconsistent wUh the spirit of the constitution and the traditions of the government. Great excitement fol lowed ; but Mr. Boulcllo failed to follow up bis parliamentary advantage and was ruled out of order. The resolution of Mr. Cockran for the ap pointment of a committee of seven to Inves tigate the alleged Invasion of the tcrrllorlnt Integrity of the Hawaiian Islands by the United States under the last administra tion , also wont down under a retaliatory ob jection by Mr. Houtolle. The confusion was so great that the scrtreant-at-arins was called In to preserve order. An adjourn ment was caused by the lack of a quorum on a motion to go into committee.

Hopresontativo Cuiberson of Texas , a membcr.of the house committee on banking and currency , Is in favor of a bill lo repeal unconditionally the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues. It has been Intimated that such a bill would bo re ported without any recommendation by the committee , nnd without any report ns to the advisability of the house paeslng upon It. In this case there would prooably bo sovcrnl minority reports , one nualnst the bill , an other for its repeal , with restrictions by tlip government , and another for repeal uncon ditionally , Air. Culborson favor. ) the latter plan. "If the bill is reported in any form , " ho says , "It Is my judgment that it will bo for unconditional repeal. The proposition to have the national comptroller of currency supervise the bank issues is only another method ot. enlarging the national banks. Thcro Js no particular difference whotticr they are Issued on one. Kind of security or another or by institutions chartered by states if the slate governmental control and regulations are exercised over them ns over national banks. If the states are. to have power to charter banks they should have po\ver lo control them. " It is possible that the bill may bo reported 'to ' the house In order to afford nn opporl mity for discussion. 'It Is very likely that the ro- ) , uullcuns will not vote for any kind of re peal , but they will bo glad to see the bill brought up In the "House , us they boliovothoy will make partycapltal outof the discussion , Some of the democratic commlUcomcn be lieve repeal ought to pass , while others , like Chairman Springer and loprescntativo Johnson of Ohio , want the bill discussed , The coniinltieu will meet tomorrow. \Vniliinetiui Nolc > .

A remarkable scene was enacted last night nt Carnegie Music Imll. A large uudlenco wus present to listen to one of the concerts of ttio Symphony orcheslra , of which U alter Damrosch is the conductor. At 8 o'clock Mr. Dam rose h ap peared upon the conductor's stand. He waste to conduct the Uohengrin overture. Ho raised his baton , but there was no response from the orchestra. In astonishment he looked at his musicians and air a In waved his baton. Not the slightest sound came from the musicians. Halslng his baton a third time Mr. Dam- roseh beat a few bars of the overture , but , the sumo silence prevailed among the musi cians. A sharp hiss was heard in the front of the house. It was taken up by row after row of scats and quickly spread to the gal leries. Turning to the assembly Mr. Damvosc.h .said ; VI.iadios.and Gentlemen : 1 am"sorry to say that there will be no concert tonight. My orchestra refuses to play for me oimc- count of my 'cellistHegnor. . I recret to tell you this ; 1 regret to toll you the fabric which I have been patiently weaving-for .years is ruined. I blame no one for these hard facts. Your money will be refunded nt the oftico during the week. " Tho'trouble was brought about by the , trouble which Mr. Damrosch has recently been having with the Musical Protective union. They protested against the importa tion of the famous violoncellist , Anton Hcgncr , who has not been in tills country a sufficiently long time to become a member of the union. On Friday night Mr. Dain- rosch resigned from the Musical Protc- li ve union on nccounl of tlio persistence with which the members refused to suspend the six months rule in Hcgncr's case , nnd last night , fearing the uir.on would be too much ( for them , the members of the Symphony orchestra decided to follow the union's man date.

K OK ISr.i'itr.- sKMAiivEs : In my recent annual message , to the congress 1 briefly referred to our re lations with Hu > Yuii and expressed the in tention of transmitting further information on the subject when additional advices per mitted. Though 1 am not able to now report a definite elmniro in the actual HiUmlion.

Suruly under our constitution and laws'Iho ' enlargement of oiii'JImlts Is n manifestation of thu highest attribute of sovereignty and if entered upon as un executive act ull tilings relating to tlio transactions should bo clear nnd fruo from suspicion. Additional importance is attached to this peculiar treaty of nnncxJi- tion because it contemplated a departure * from unbroken American tradition in pro viding for the addition to our territory of islands of the sea more than 2,000 miles re moved from our nearest coasts. These considerations might not of them selves call for interference with the com pletion of a treaty entered upon by a pre vious administration. But It appealed frnin tlio documents accompanying the treaty when submitted to thu scnato that the ownership of Hawaii was tendered to us l.v ) a provisional government sut up to succeed tin * constitutional ruler of Iho Islands wlu > had been dethroned , and it did not appear that such provisional grverninent had tho' , sanction of cither popular revolution or suiTrago. Slgnillriiiic'i ! nf thu Inorillnuto lliislc. Two remarkable features of the transac tion naturally attracted the attention. Ono , was tlip extraordinary haste not to say/ precipitancy elmrnctcri/.ing nil thu trausr actions connected with thu treaty. It appeared that : i so-railed committee of safety , ostensibly the source of thu revolt against thu constitutional government of' Hawaii , was orgnnl/i.'d on Saturday , the 1-tth day nf.lanuary ; that on Monday , thu HUh , the 1'iillcd States forces were landed at , Honolulu from a naval vessel lying in Urn harbor ; that on the ITth the scheme of : i provisional government was perfected and ; v proclamatlnii.naming Its officer * was on thu mime ila\ prepared nnd read at the govern ment buildlnc" that immediately thereupon the United States minister recugnl/.od the provisional government thus created ; that' ' two days afterward , the Kith of January , commissloiitT.s representing Hitch i/overu- meni sailed for tills country in n specially chartered foi the occasion , arriving in San Francisco on ( ho : iSth day of January and Iir Washington on tholid of February : lhal the next day they find their first Inter view with Iho secretary of state and an other on the ISth , when the treaty uniie.v. ing thu Islands was practically agreed upon , and thut uu thu 1 Itli it was formally con cluded and on the 15th transmitted to the Kcnutc. Thus between the Initiation of the schcmu for a provisional government in Hawaii on the 14th of January and thu submission to the senate of the. treaty of annexation eon- cluiled with such government , the cntiro In terval was thirty-two days , fifteen of which were spoilt by the Hawaiian cominUsioncra In their journey to Washington , Vital I'olnl llndoe'ldbil , in the next place , upon tlio fuco of ihu. papers submitted with thu treaty , it clearly appeared that there was open and undctcr * mined an tssuu of thn most vital importance , The message of the president accompany ing the treaty declared that "the overthrow ot" the monarchy wns not in nny wiiy | ir - meted by this government , " uml in a letter to the piusldent from the ccroUiry nf Hum also submitted to the senate with the treaty the following passage occurred : "At tlio tinm the provisional government took possession of ihuxovurmncni buildings no troops or uUccrs wont present or took any part whatever in the proceedings : no public recognition \vug accorded to thu pio- visional L'overmnunt by the United Stairs/ minister until tu'ter the queen's abdication and when they wore in n,1'clivn possession of the government buildings , the archives , the treasury , the barracks , Iho I'O.ics elation , und nil thu political iKuchlnuo ot the government.
