there was not , so far as ho know. Upoi
.being asked what tie would do If a stiiki
was lliiealcncd on account of a reduction ol
for which ho hat
wages on any of Iho roads
appointed receivers , ho replied :
"If rccolvnrs should apply for leave to re
tluco the oxislini : scale of tvnsos before act-
hit ? upon the pntition , I would rciiira | then
to give notlco'of iho application to the ofll

change of the time and place ol
licaring , nnd would also require
thorn to grain such odlcors or rnprescMitu-
lives leaVe of nbscmco , and furnish them
transportation to the place of hearing and
substitutes while in attendance , and I would
hour both nicies in person or by altorncys , II
they wanted attorneys to appear for thorn.
The employes of a road in the hands of a re-
coivcr are employes of the receivers themselves -
selves , and , as such , are entitled to bo heard
upon nny proposed order of the court which
would affect the whole body of employes.
Would < ilvo Them Time.
"If , after a full honrjng and consideration ,
I found that it was just to reduce tlio scale
of wages , I would give iho employes ample
Hmo to accept the sealo. But they would
not bo enjoined from quitting the sot-vice of
the court , either singly or in a body ; lu other
ovoids , I would not enjoin tlioin from strik
ing , but if they made thoir'olctilion to strike ,
I would make it plain to them that they
must not , after quitting the service of Iho
rourt , interfere , with the'property or the
operation of the road or iho mon employed
to take their places. } . -
"A United Stiites court can rcidlly bo the
means to cfTpctunlly nrotoct the property In

I have in one or two instances pursued the

WASHINGTON , Jan. 1. There is seine con
cern in congress nnd the exccuiivo dcpari-
nicnt to know whether the troubles of the
Atchlson , Topokn & Santa Fo Ilullrond com
pany will affect the Investigation into the
affairs of the different departments which
the Joint congressional committee of the two
houses is mnking. It is a fact which does
not seem to ! > o generally known that Mr.
Joseph W. Uelnhiirt , president nnd ono of
aho receivers of the road , is the chief expert
of this commission. Ilo was employed because -
cause of his executive and organizing abil
ity , and was allowed lo employ iwo
nssistunts before ho would agree to accept
the position. Ilo has never given detailed
attention to thu investigation , but has
directed the woric of bl assistants and has
been able lo accomplish much without giv
ing It his actual presence. It Is presumed ,
therefore , that the work will Do prosecuted
as before and that the Increased limo neces
sary lo be given to the affairs of thu Atchi-
Bon under n reenlvcr will not interfwo wltli
the government. Thu experts cmplooyd
under Mr. Holnhart are at present invqsti.
gating thu affairs of Iho Treasury dopait-
ment , and whllo it is not understood that
they are unearthing any mares' nc.sts , it is
said lh.it they are finding many places in
which they are of the opinion chamrcs can
bo iiiuU ) Unit will result iu the slmpllllcu-
llon of the service and iho curtailment of ex
penses. No other donartimmt has yet been
investigated by thc-so iruntlemon. but , as
under Iho terms of iho resolution bv
which it was authorized to nit , it has until
March , ISlKi. to eoutiium ils work , thure will
bo ample opportunity logo through nil the
executive departments quite tnoroughlv if
the coninilsslon thinks It worth while to 1)0 )
60. There is no thought among members of
the commission but that Mr. Holnhurt will
Contiiiuo his connection with the work , rc-
Kardless ot the complications of the railroad.

It is doing quite well. The old-timoi

ionic respects lobby methods may liavi

Hhor modern improvements. Tlio arts
ind the stratagems are much tlio same

Why , it was onlv a few weeks ago ,

vas no waiting on the parties who Had
otained the lobby on contingent con-
racts. There was no risk of repudiated
iromibes. The government separated

It is a mistake to talk of the decline of

ho business. There are more shrewd

Three-quarters of all tbo farms in Ihn
United States are owned free of incum-
branee. Onlv one-foiirlb of the total
number of fui'ins in tbo United States
uro mortgugod. The average mortgage
represents only one-third of the valno of
the farm upon which it is secured. The
total amount of farm mortgages in the
whole country is hardlj one-tenth ol
all our farms.
In 1880 , nearly one-flft.h ol the mort
gage indebtedness rested on farms but
in ISSN ) farm mortgagee rer.rosontoil only
one-seventh of the country's total indebt
edness on real estate. Out of every 100
families on American farms in'lSW ) ,
forty-soven owned the farms they li\cd
on and worked.
Four-fifths of the amount of debt on
farnus and homes was incurred for Iho
commendable purpose of buying and im

During these ten years no less than
t > 00,000 now farms were created In the

carried the avorngo Bly.o mortgage this
would rtwlily account for the increase
in Iho total debt on farms. Mortgages :

I'he compurison' is , ina'de , with THE BEC

In the matter of relative healing nnd light-

SAN FIIANOISCO , Jan. 1. The long oontesi

nether promising sensation. Late Satur

Into suprotno court a notice of a motion t <
lostpono hearing before lhat tribunal of tut
npcal from Superior Judge Coffuy's do
ision declaring that Florence Blytho is holi
0 Blythc's millions.
Sensational affidavits accompanied the
otlee. In brief the affidavits which wow
, led by attorneys for claimants opposlnp
'lorencoBlytho , the illegitimate daughter ,
large that tno girl's attorney , Attornej
Icncral W. H. Hart , made over to George J2 ,
tales a contingent Interest in the Blythc

Tlio attorneys of Florence Blytho declare
lut thu new uhurces were simply made

With a view to placing Iho Omnhn Crick

with a danco.
In order to allow lliose attending sucli 01
tertainmcnts lo get lo iheir homes wilhoi

The club will avail itself of purely loc ;
taleni , but this will be of a high order. Tli
services of such as arc enlisted to contribut
lo these ontortainrnnnts will bo unpak
This fact , will cnnblo ihcclubio reatlxon
much of Ihe prosecds as pimlblo without ir
lerfering with the success of the Ventura.
The object of these concerts nnd dance
Is to aid in the defraying of the club's o *
ponscs for the coming season. These expenses
sos , it Is as well to know , will nmount t
n considerable sum , and could hardly b
Jofraycd by the members of the club alon
without some inconvenience , especially a
the start. Once on its logs , so to speak , th
Omaha Cricket club \vill be quite able t
take care of Itself , althoucrh ot the outsc
the macnlludo of the necessary outlay
nusi call for some outside aid.
The club committee fools sanguine , as fn

nolpiim hand to enterprises of a praise

The first concert and dance in conncetioi
