Chairman Caldwell nt 7 30 o'clock tonight handed down his de cision denying the request of the Atchlson tor a boycott against the Southern Pacific on passenger business. After going over at length the causes of the dluputesvhlch have boon published at length , the chair man says the Atchlson Is entitled to no relief lief- under the association agreement , because the Southern Pacific has not been guilty of fliirh action as could render It subject to punishment under the association rules If U .were an association line. It being an out- tildc line , the chairman argues , that makes TIO difference whatever. The Atchlson would bo entitled to no redress oven If It were In the association. This will drive the Atchlson from the association , and Assistant Passcn- cr and Truffle Manager Dyrne will tomor row morning send formal notice that the Atchlson road will withdraw. It will then , unless the matter Irf now settled by arbitra tion , promptly proceed to make Its fight on California rates from Chicago Instead of the Missouri river , and the prospect for some low rates to California Is very promising. The Atchlson once out of the association , will remain out until the Union Pacific agrees to become a member. Chairman Caldwell gave his decision re luctantly. Ho Would greatly have preferred to have awaited tlio outcome of the efforts nt arbitration. Mr. Dyrno , however , jireased him hard for the decision , repeat ing that | t must come today or not at all , as far as the Atchlson's membership In tlio iipsoclatlon was concerned. There Is a Mrong likelihood that several suits will bo Instituted by the receivers of the Atchlson road against Chairman Mldgely of the West ern Passenger association , and the general managers of several lines have passed reso lutions that receivers and high olllcials liave not been protecting the roads' Interests ns officers of the court should do , because they did not uphold the pass agreement. Vice President Hoblnson and the traffic man agers ot the Atchlson have gone with the receivers of all the roads now In Now York about the proposed suits withdrawing from all the western associations on account of what they consider the Insult offered. Mr. iMIilgely today declared It would make very little difference if the Atchlson did not with draw from the associations , and declared himself undaunted by the prospects ot libel units. Thcso resolutions were passed : That two other roads , represented In the meeting , are or had been Issuing passes to in- llnence traffic In violation ot the proposed jiass agreement _ TO CONIIill WITH K.UIM.OYE.S. s.

There was n divided opinion , however , hoard , some of the officials with whom the reporter talked uxprc.sslng the Idea that Dr. Miller had not that judicial mind which the office demanded , although the sentiment was universal that If a democrat IB to be appointed , whbh Is more than likely , Dr. Miller would make n very .fair and Impartial commissioner. One official urged that the doctor was little ac- Hiialuted with railroad matters , the office ro- quIrlujjMhat men should be trained In rail road work before aspiring to the position of interstate commissioner , but he reluctantly admitted that a man with fair Intelligence oould acquire a knowledge ot the cases pre sented for arbitration without previous asso ciation with railroad problems.

Just . ns soon na the Judicial commlUco can reach It the committee will report It favorably. The report on the Judge JenkliiA resolution was ready to bo mibmlttcd when the Dundy , Ilrovvpr , Tuft and I'nrtlee resolutions were offered. Neither I tier any other member from Wisconsin will object to the considera tion of the Jcnkltm resolution at the earli est opportunity. The matter can bo taken up nt any tlmo by unanimous voto. My resolution will remain before the committee and go before the house In the regular man ner. I am assured by members of the com- irtlltoo that favorable action will bo taken. Members of I ho Judiciary committee have told mo the Dundy decision was very much stronger against labor unions than the Jen kins order. It was BO stated by the chair man of the subcommittee which has the matter In hand. " The News says editorially this evening : "It IH more than nonsense to say that the proposed investigation of the Jenkins In- junctlonal order Is an unwarranted Inter ference on the part of the Icfilslatlvo gov ernment with the Judiciary. It Is the duty of the house ot representatives lo Impeach United States Judges when It believes thorn guilty of misbehavior. The mere fact that no actual mercenary motives are charged against Jenkins does not presume his Inno cence of mlHhehavlor. If ho Is guilty of at tempting to unlawfully deprive a part of the American people of any liberty guaran teed by the constitution ho Is a lit subject for Investigation , much moro so than If he had robbed them of their wealth. " THINKS IT 1'rcsldi'iit IVOR of the Northern I'nclllc 2ullroiil MiiUr * n Stiitrniunt. NHW VOIIK , March -President Drayton Ivcs , In behalf of the directors of the North ern Pacific Hallway company , asked the bond holders of the committee to withdraw their acceptance of the agreement recently promul gated by the committee clalmlnc to repre sent the consolidated bondholders , and states four reasons for making this request. Urlefly these arc : That the publication of such an agreement Is premature ; that the scope of the committee Is too limited ; that the con stitution of the committee Is unfortunate , and , apart from the foreign interests hither , to represented by Mr. Vlllard , the committee owns and controls hut a limited amount ot bonds. Mr. Ives urges that Northern Pacific earnings continue to dccr < yisc , and In the absence of any full and acciirltto finan cial statement from the receivers , no basis Tor a plan of reorganization can be presented. Me says also this committee has made no efforts to operate with exlitlng committees which represent other mortgage liens on the company's property against It. This commit tee Is dominated by Mr. Vlllard and the success ot the plan will glvo Mr. Vlllard n third opportunity to control the company's affairs. The directors , Mr. Ives says , own personally large amounts of the bonds and represent millions belonging to their friends. He finally urges that a new committee , rop- reAontlng nil interests , bo formpd , or that the present commlttoo be enlarged to meet requirements pointed out. When this ra done tlio directors will use whatever In fluence and authority they possess to sccuro the co-operation of the stockholders In any plan which may be proposed by the bond , holders.

If all reports are true , Nebraska will see this spring the biggest Immigration .In Its history , all the railroads , but .more par- tlnularly the Burlington , receiving from fifty to 100 letters per day asking for facta and figures In relation to Nebraska lands. These Inquiries-nre not by any means of the casual kind , but they como from pcoplo making specific requests as to Information regarding the price ot lands , locations , re ligious and secular- advantages , 'Just such Inquiries as the farmer would bo expected to make who contemplates making a change In his home. Most of the Innulrlea como from renters In Iowa and Illinois , who appre ciate the growing Importance of the state , and desire to possess themselves ot homes "before prices are advanced. The Burling , ton , It Is understood , will have several colo- nlzation parties this year , which they will locate along the line of the system In the western part of the state. The Klkhorn Is- also active in populating Its northwest line , while the Union Pacific states that prospects were never brighter for a big Immigration. All of which Is particularly gratifying news at this time. IHiNIIill THK I'Kl 1TION. Iiulgn Ciililxvoll KafilwH to Allow Separate Suit Ag iii4t the 'I-'rlM-o. ST. LOUIS. March 5. Judge Caldwell of the United States circuit court today noon handed down a decision denying the peti tion of the United States Trust company to sue the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad In stale courts and to have the appointed receivers distinct from those of the Santa KO. The application was made February 23 by the attorneys of the United States Trust company In behalf of the holders of the bonds for the St. Louis & San Francisco for permission to foreclose on the road because of Interest defaultcirtpon January 1 , also to HIIO the receivers In the state courts and to ticcuro the appointment of recelvi-nt other than those now In charge of the Santa Fo system , this KUtor portion ot the application being emphasized by the fact that the Inter ests of the 'Frisco and Atchlson were so nt variance that ono body ot men could not Justly adjudicate differences. Judge Caldwell denied the application , except so far as it rclatud to the payment of Interest upon bonds. AOAINST Till' ! ICAir.ltOAU.

"Doris , " a right clever play whose scenes are laid In the prettiest and most pastoral part of Mcrrla Hngland , was the bill last evening nt lloyd's , with 1C ( Tic Hllslcr In the titular role. The story , although somewhat hackneyed , Is full of a genuine human In terest which nppcnla to an audience Irreslsta- bly , and in the quiet force which character izes KB development U seen the fine art of the principal characters , the bright and talented little woman who plays the stellar role , Frank Weston , P. W. Couldock and the author of the play , Robert Droned , who Is In addition to being n right Interesting play wright , nn actor of no menu ability. Hlfio nilslor has In Doris a part that ( Us her nplendldly. Cast upon somewhat melodra matic lines It Rives her fine scope for the dis play of emotional powers , which have placed her In the forefront of atage favorites. She has been coming to Omaha for years , and has yet to give a performance that was not artis tic or forcpfui , acting always conscientiously and well. She Is today Impersonating with grace , significance and bouyanco the Ideal ehnracters of the theater and In her the pro fession of which she Is a most valued mem ber Is signally honored. Mr. Frank Weston , who , by the way. al most played his first part hero , having been the property man at the old Academy of Music , has a thoroughly congenial part In Dr. Ilrlan O'Nell , a physician of the old school , whose flattery of women Is ns dell- clous as his brogue. The veteran C. W. Couldock plays a rector with a finish that only years could give. Although by no means n companion part to Jacob Fletcher of "Saints and Sinners , " It Is written upon much the same lines and Is n beautiful study of nn English curate whoso cure Is the one bright spot In his life next to his ' > vlli ( Pud Doris.Mr. Drouot las itho squire and lover makes a manly hero , with out overdoing the role. The scoundrel who rings Doris' heart was fairly well played by George F. Farren , although the character requires a much more virile actor to fhter- prot It according to the author's Ideas than Mr. Farron Is , but notwithstanding ho was Intelligent and always Interesting in n very disagreeable role. The other characters nro of minor Importance , acting simply as foils to the personages above , but they acquit themselves well , and that Is all that Is required , "Solrro Tlipntnilp. " One of the most unique entertainments ever given in Omaha was that which took place last evening In Metropolitan hall , under the auspices ot the members ot n society known as "Le Cercle" "Parislen. " This society Is composed of people who take a great Interest In the study of the French language and the literature , and Is under the direction of Mine. Lnhurc. The program was a somewhat varied one , and on the whole reflected great credit on all the participants. After the overture on the piano a short comedy sketch , entitled , "La Conversion do la Veuve" ( "The Con version of the Widow" ) , was presented , Miss Mildred House personating the role ot the widow and Miss K. Morse that of Marlotte , her maid. Doth did excellently and were loudly applauded. Mrs. Sweeney sang with pleasing effect a sentimental song , and then the audience were treated to a magnificent performance on the zither by Mr. and Mrs. J. Festner , who were vociferously recalled. A very pretty little sketch followed , called "Lolla , " In which Miss K. Wakeley ap peared as the Countess Leila and Mr. F. Despccher sustained the role of Maurlco do Vlllarceaux. The young lady did very well , nil things considered , and Mr. Despecher was simply Immense. He has all the vivacity of the native born Frenchman and no little natural ability as an actor. Later on ho took the character of Mr. Philippe Maquettl , of which ho made moro than of his first char acter. Miss B. House also put In a second appearance In the part of Mile. Lea and en acted the role with charming naivety and grace. Mr. Will McCague's capital rendition of n beautiful ballad entitled "La Charlie" was well received. A musical medley , in which Messrs. G. W. Ames , C. W , Martin , Prof. Cumlngs , Miss Moore and Mrs. G. W. Ames took part , was a great success and received a well disserved encore. Mr. Martin went through some sleight of hand work with considerable skill , although ho spoiled ono trick by allowing his eggs to get away from him , and another by want of proper preparation , but as an amateur per formance his was much above the average. The audience had the pleasure of witnessIng - Ing a very lively assault at arms between Prof. Denis and Mr. F. Despeclier , In which both gentlemen did some clever work. As the first entertainment ot Its kind it was excellent In every way , and even If the French spoken did not have the exact accent ono hears on the streets of Paris , It was evident that all who took part had taken great pains with their several parts , and therefore merit much praise.

The weather has been very mild and pleasant for yachting , but for that reason has been bad weather from n sportsman's view.

The party did not at tempt to shoot on Sunday , but laid around and made another attempt upon the ducks. Unless the Violet Is run through the canal this afternoon ho Is not likely to reach Nor folk before tomorrow , so the party can hardly reach Washington before Wednesday morning. NORFOLK Vn. .

Wo took It to the caucus and showed the Injustice of making the bli : protective In one locality.

" " 'There would then bo a fight In the senate ? " "Yes , and the biggest In years. Dut the whole matter Is on such delicate grounds that a rejection by the senate of one of the points in dispute might kick It all over ; be sides the house may also kick over what the senate does.

The committee Is hav ing trouble to satisfy the manufacturers with the rate of this tax , as they are urging If thcro is to bo an Increase It shall bo placed at 12 cents , because their machinery , which Is expensive , Is made to produce packages corresponding with either a 6 era a 12 cent tax.

WASHINGTON , March C. Tlio Agricul tural department museum has been con siderably enriched as a result of tlio World's fair. One of the acquisitions Is a large sec tion of the California sequio scmpervlrems , or rosewood trees , which was a feature of the Interior department exhibit at the fair. The latter department had the tree cut In California and sent to Chicago at a cost of ? G,000. The section displayed was thirty feet long by twenty-three feet through the center , and was composed of forty-six dif ferent pieces , which weighed an average of a ton each. After the fair the Interior de partment presented the tree to the Agricul tural department , which decided to remove It to Washington and place It on the grounds of the department here. A concrete founda tion for the tree has been constructed at an elevation of a foot from the ground , and on this thQ tree will stand. The Interior of the tree has been removed throughout its entire length so as to leave a circular chr ! i < - Jer sixteen feet In diameter In this hollow. A museum on a small scale will be estab lished , a spiral staircase constructed so that persons can walk to the top , over which there will be a glass roof. The additional cost of removing the tree from Chicago and putting It In the condition Intended will be about $5,000 , making a total cost of $11,000.

CHAULKSTON. W. Vo. , March C , Today Governor MacCorklo received a telegram from Major Hauls , commanding nt Hagle. stating that a man had been nrrosUnl at Montgomery with a dynamite- cartridge on his person. The man was brought to thin city. Ho said ho was engaged In the nttack on Wyant's tlpplo and had attended all the meetings and know their plans. From his confession the following story Is obtained : DKTAILS OF TUB PLOT. List night the governor received Incendi ary statements from a man purporting to bo acting as mayor of Montgomery. They were to the effect that the military posse of the sheriff had no right to accompany the sheriff within the corporate limits of the town of Montgomery. This course would nullify the power of the sheriff of the county , and -no notice was taken of this statement. Things have developed today that there was n deep- seated plan arranged to violate the law. The authorities have gotten Into the whole busi ness , and now the true Inwardness of the scheme Is known. The riot at Acme was carefully planned , and only frustrated by the action of the authorities. The btrlkers took to Acme twenty-seven largo cartridges to blow up the works alii ! destroy the stores. Their purpose was to loot the storo. At all their meetings yesterday , last night and on Saturday , the arrangement was made with the connivance of certain people toarrest Wyant , bring him to Montgomery and turn him over to the mob of miners. Ills life would not have been worth a penny. Then a dastardly and horrible outrage was to have been perpetrated. When the soldiers came accompanying the sheriff In his making arrests for murder , the dynamite cartridges distributed already fused with percussion caps , wore to be lighted and thrown among the troops and posse , malnlng and killing the members thereof. This plan was carried out dynamite cartridges were distributed , uno of which Is In tlio possession of the governor. It happened , " however , only u small part of the program was carried out. Wyant was arrested by the warrant sworn out before Squlro Adklns , whoso con Is en gaged In the strike , and Is one of the ring leaders for whom a warrant has been Issued for murder. Dut when the four constables , one of whom had said he would bring Wyant down to Montgomery , attempted to take Wyant to Montgomery hoN resisted and told them he was willing to co to Favettevlllo. but ho did not propose to bo taken to > Mont gomery for the purpose of being killed by a mob. Ho agreed to go to Fuyottevlllo this morning , but refused to go last night. WOULD HAVK DEBN KILLED. It was ascertained before morning that If he should bo taken to Fayettovlllo ho would In all probability bo killed on the way , and this morning , ascertaining that , ho called on the militia for protection and when the con stables came to take him , ono of them was arrested for murder , and a platoon of soldiers took Wyant to Faycttevllle , where ho will have his preliminary trial. It was ascertained that the road was pick eted by the men who had been In the strike , and if It had not been for the protection of the military his life would have been taken. The authorities have gone to the bottom of the whole matter. They have ascertained that the original facts were about true. The attack on Wyant was prearranged and tlio next morning It was Intended to take Edge- water , the adjacent mine. This was frus trated by the governor In having the mill , tary on hand. There Is n vast deal of ex citement , and since- the last outrage and tha attempt to kill the soldiers by dynamite , thcro Is a deep-seated feeling of Indignation , both against the men who were actually en gaged In It , and the authorities of Mont gomery , who have been aiding and abetting the outrages. Precautions have been taken to arrest the men engaged In this dastardly scheme , and before morning the leaders will bo arrested. The strikers stated In their meeting last night and the night before that the Jail at Fayettovlllo would bo broken In and the prisoners released. There Is great apprehen sion that it will bo attempted. It Is under stood that the government has ordered the troops to see that this Is not done. It looks now as If there Is going to bo great trouble. Driving at the expense of the Body. While we drive the brain we must build up the body. Ex ercise , pure air foods that make healthy flesh refreshing sleep such are methods. When loss of flesh , strength and nerve become apparent your physician will doubtless tell you that the quickest builder of all three is of Cod Liver Oil , which not only creates flesh of and in itself , but stimulates the appetite for other foods. rrcpirnl by Scott A lloirno.
