Although conilderahlo illiicuxalon was hail over the tnllcaga cost of engine service nothing was accomplished and the men nhowcd In tlinlr manner on leaving the headquarters that an anrccment was prac tically out of the question and that they would have to depend upon the circuit court for whatever redress they sought. KXI'KCTINO TUB CHIEFS. It was given out yesterday at labor headquarters that Chief Clark of the Hrothcrhood of Hallway Conductors ami Chief Sargent of the Ilrothnrhood of Fire men left Terre Haute , Ind. , Monday night for Omaha to participate In the conference here , having heen asked to come on by the respective bodies over which they preside. Clark and Sarcont have been advised dally of the progress of the conference and as the telegrams have been growing more hope less as the dayn wear on they have decided to take a hand themselves in the conference bcfoni Itecclvcr Clark , A representative attorney for ono of the well known roads , in speaking about the position the employes of the Union Pacific have taken regarding the schedules now In force on the road , contending that the schedules are contracts as binding upon the receivers ns they were upon the com pany , said : "Tho men seem to bo badly advised upon this position , for In IfjOtu I'ultcd States reports , opinion by Justice Drown In the Wnbash case , the following Is laid ilown by thu highest court In the land. 'The general rule applicable to this class of cases Is that an assignee or receiver Is not bound to adopt the contracts , accept the leases , or otherwise step Into the shoes of his assignor , If In his opinion It would be unprofltablt or undesirable to do so. In such case a receiver Is entitled to reasonable time In which to elect whether ho will adopt or repudiate such contract. ' I cannot for the life of mo see how the circuit court can do otherwlso than take the same posi tion In view of the fact that thora was no dissenting opinion , the court unanimously holding to Justice Brown's view of the case , " PRESIDENT CLARK ON' THE SITUATION. A reporter asked Receiver Clark how the conference was progressing. The president was decidedly avcrsu to talking , but stated that a temporary halt had been made In the hearing of thn engineers for"tho reason that certain features had arisen which the men desired to discuss moro thoroughly among themselves. "There Is no change , hoivcver. In the proceedings , the trainmen following this afternoon , the engineers to resume later. It Is a good deal of a grind , but the sessions arc Interesting notwith standing the laborious features connected with the conference. " Mr. McConnell was not present at the session yesterday owing to Illness caused by over exertion. The telegraphers did not take up the Ne braska division yesterday where they left off the night before , as was anticipated , owing to the absence of Chief Gllllland. In lieu of that they commenced on the Oregon and Idaho divisions. About the same rate of progress was made as the day before. The salary question was taken up station by station and In some minor points the men conceded something and Mr. Korty took some matters under advisement , on which the men have hopes of favorable action. They say they do not think the receivers , after being ordered to confer with the men on the wage question , can afford to go to Judge Caldwell and report thut they have simply stood pat and conceded nothing to the men , as that would have a tendency to prejudice the court against them. ' While the men expect some concessions HSstated , they do not anticipate anything approaching a settlement of the pending difficulty. The same differences exist In the section of the road now under discus sion as were encountered In the Nebraska division , and they are no nearer n settle ment than they were the first day of the conference. Judge Thurston Is busily engaged In get ting ready for the trial of the Gulf case which comes up for hearing before Judges Caldwell and Sanborn of the Eighth circuit and Judge Dundy of , the district court next Monday.

TURIN , March 20. Lajos Kossuth died at 10:5 : ! o'clock this evening. Kossuth'n end wan extremely painful. Ho showed signs of consciousness until the last Ho expired In the arms of his son nnd dlci pressing tlio hand of the Hungarian deputy Karolyl. The members of his family and a few of his Intlmato friends stood around the bcdsldu of Uio expiring patriot. Nothing has yet been HCttled In regard to the details of the funeral. The munici pal authorities of this .city have offered the family the prlvllcgo of having the remains burled In the Pantheon here. When Kosuth visited the United States many years ngo the lender of the Magyars WHH given more honor than any foreign visitors to these Hhorcs with the exception of the great Lafayette. Kossiuli wns not really n. Magyar. He WIIB more of a Croat. He WIIM born In 1802 nt Monok. HlH fumlly win Croatian. Of thlH family there remains a grand record for patriotism. Ko.MHUth'H rebellion ngnlnst the Aus trian power began to manifest Itself when he wast thirty years old. At that age ho WIIH sent to the Ulet nt 1'resbcn ; ns u. Rtihstltutc for nn absent magnate. Hu hud but little inllucnce In Unit body of aristo crats , hut he ut once began n report of Its proceedings In a manuscript journal , whose printing was prohibited by an undent Inw. The frovcrnment estopped him from litho graphing his journal. Mnt he was not to be cast aside by this. He undertook to Issue the journal , and ns there wtis no law to stop him froni. circulating It In manu script form he employed scriveners , who copied the original , nnd ut times them wore iis ninny as 16,000 copies of It In circulation. After this he was especially tu-tlvc In many ways that were not relished by the powers. He defended political prisoners llercely nnd In 1K17 he was arresti-d. The result of the prosecution against him was a term of Imprisonment for three years. His friends were forbidden him and he was de nied the privilege of writing. In the second end year of Imprisonment the rigors of his life were relaxed and he was permitted to rend political books excopted. Ills selec tion was singular. He chose for his enter tainment an Hngllsh grammar. Walker's pronouncing dictionary and a copy or Shakespeare's plays. Ho knew not a word of English and his first self-taught lesson was "The Tempest. " It took him a week to get through the first page. In 1810 , under a general amnesty , he was liberated. He became associated with a dally paper that had been started at Pesth called the Pesth Gazette. Seven years after his liberation he went to the Diet , representing the county of Pesth. Hn championed the common people as aculnst the Hungarian nobility. And then , throwing away all rv- senve , he became the actual .leader of the people of Hungary against the tyranny of Austria. In 1818 , so keen had become the indignities suffered by Hungarians at the hands of Austria , that the time for open revolution was near. Hungary declared Its Independence , nnd Kussoth was made governor or president of the country. Of course this meant war. And the war was just as desperate as the wrongs the revolutionists had suffered had been deep. HusHJ.a lent her aid to Austria , and Hungary was ground up between these two power ful stones. Kossuth fled to Turkey for pro tection. Turkey might have handed the patriot over to be put to death. But the spirit of liberty , a spirit that sympathized with him to the last extremity , was too strong In the great nnd free coiintrtDR of Kngland nnd America to permit anysuch shameful proceedliiff.cvcn though the weak ness of the Turks should have allowed It. He was not molested. In this "chapter of his history the United States dispatched Its steam frigate Mis sissippi to him and he was brought to America ns the guest of the nation. In 1851 , In the month of September , Kossuth anil bis compatriots were received on board the warship with due honors. At Smyrna , Spezzla nnd the other ports he was notably honored. In France he received honors that were second only to those that were given him on his arrival here nnd during his stay In the United States. He had telegraphed his request to go through Frnnee , but the prince president flatly , refused. Ho was met nt Marseilles by thousands of people who expressed their contempt for Louis Napoleon's small-minded refusal by crowdIng - Ing around the patriot , singing that great Insurrectionary sons that stirs even the blood of the stranger and wnvlriK American Hags. He went by sea to England , made a grand tour of that country anil-was hailed with delight by the people In fcvery prov ince and received with market ! honor by municipalities everywhere. In this country tie was a most honored guest. * . States vied with one another ana cities ; iought one another to do him the largest honors. In 1832 Kossuth returned to Europe and spent many years In traveling nbout , lect uring and working In many ways for the' Hungarian cause. He tried many ways of stirring up war between Austria and other countries that his own might take advantage of the situation. But his life was a failure. He then deliberately settled at Turin In 'Italy to voluntarily spend his remaining years In exile. His sister , Louise KosHiiih Rtittkay , attended to the duties of Jie household. Although besought to re- urn to Hungary nnd live In his native land , le always refused to do so. Poor , he over rejected , In a kindly way , llnanelal aid. He might have lived In luxury not only ut the expense of his followers In Hungary : mt by the favor of rich Americans and Kngllsh , who often bcKKOd him to accept some emolument. Hut he preferred to stay > oor while his country was not free. Of ate years he has been In rather desper ate straits. His only source of Income was what he drew from teaching language lessons , nnd this Income often fell below $200 a year worse than a pittance. Ills condition was more recently relieved by money he received from publications ho consented to have made , so that his last days were not his worst. Among all the great liberators of man kind there Is no patriot greater than Kos suth. ir/T/MMMir.V TllK 1IOYCOTT.

"Secondly I disagree wllh my colleague as to the sugar schedule as It appears In the bill , believing the methods of testing pu too much power Into the hands of any gov eminent officers. I would confine tho. tcs of all sugar , raw and refined , to the polar Iscope alone , and thus make the duties cacl should pay. " Mr. Allison suggested the advisability o having the bill printed In pamphlet form showing as to each nrtlclo In the proscn law , the changes made by the house and the changes proposed by the senate finance com mlttec. Mr. Voorhecs thought that cuulc be done. Hawaii cropped out again and Mr. George In accordance with the notice ho cave a few days ago , addressed the senate on the legal aspects of Hawaiian affairs. At the conclusion of Mr. George's speech the senate passed a bill authorizing the sec retary of war to lend condemned cannon and cannon balls'to the association having In charge the monument erected on govcrnmcn land at Chicago to the confederate ileiu there hurled. A bill for the relief of the owners ant crew of the Hawaiian bark Arctic was taken from the calendar and passed.

WASHINGTON , March 20.-The sundry civil appropriation bill was passed by the house today without division. The amend ment to the proposition for the general land ofllce nmemllnsr the provision of the net of 1831 repealing the timber culture nnd pre-emption nets , which was adopted In the committee at the suggestion of Mr. Hot mail , nnd which was bitterly opposed by the western members , was defeated In the house. The clauses which souBht to re quire nn accounting by the disbursing offi cers of soldiers' homes to the Treasury de partment nnd annual reports by the boards to the secretary of war fell under Mr. Black's point of order. The bill as passed carries $217,000 more than It did ns reported from the committee on appropriations. The four appropriation bills passed by the house ( District of Columbia , pension , fortl- Mcatlons and sundry civil ) carry n net re duction of $31,314,958 , as compared with the same bills for the current fiscal year. At the request of Mr. Catchlngs of Missis sippi and Mr. Hcttzhoover of Pennsylvania they were relieved from further service on the Pacific railroads committee. The house , after the call of committees for reports , went Into committee of the whole , nnd the consideration of the sundry civil bill was resumed. The pending ques tion was Mr. Black's point of order against two clauses In the paragraph relating to the soldiers' homes requiring the disburs ing officers of the homes to give bond nnd make an accounting to the Treasury de partment and requiring the board of man agers to make annual reports to the secre tary of war. SIMPSON'S CRITICISMS Mr. Simpson of Kansas , speaking to the general merits of the question , detailed the corrupt state of affairs unearthed at the Leavenworth Soldiers home. He was not convinced that the .policy of placing the homes under the War department was a Rood one ) but he argued' that nn Investi gation Into the general affairs of the homes should be , made. Mr. Black of Illinois replied to some of the remarks mndei yesterdayin connection to this matter. With regard to the criti cism upon the fact that liquor was sold under the authorization of the board of managers of the homes , ho defended the action of the board. Fifty years ot ap petite , he said , could not be broken , and the establishment of'beer halls , whlcji cor respond to the canteen system of the regu lar army , had been deemed both wise nnd humane. The chair then sustained the point of order , and the two paragraphs were stricken from the bill. This disposed of the last paragraph of the bill , but , by nn arrangement agreed upon yesterday , sev eral members were permitted to submit general remarks on various subjects. Mr. Hartman of Montana nnd Mr. Mc- Clcary of Minnesota proceeded to criticise the amendment to tlie appropriation for the general land otllce , adopted at the Instlga- .lon of Mr. Holman , which amended the timber culture and pre-emption act of 1891. MrTnwney of Minnesota and Mr. John son of North Dakota also criticised the iolnian 'amendment to the timber culture repeal net of 1891. Mr , Holman made an. explanation In de fense of his amendment , and , nfter some remarks by Mr. Powers of California , Jlr. Perkins nnd Mr. Wilson of Washington , he committee arose nnd reported the bill and amendments to the house. A separate vote was demanded by Mr. Tawney upon the Holmnn amendment , nnd by Mr. Bowers upon the amendments np- iroprlatliiK $61.000 for the poatolllce at Buf- 'alo and $90,000 for the postodlce at New York City. On n rising vote the Holman amendment vas carried by a vote of 77 to 01. Mr. McCleary demanded the yeas nnd lays. The decision of the rising vote was re versed and the amendment was lost by a vote of 01 to 122. Mr. Bowers withdrew his demand asking- 'or a separate vote on the Buffalo and * Jew York amendments , nnd the bill 'was then , at 2:55 : o'clock , placed on Itlt final ) assapo ; and passed without dlvlslon.v. A clash then occurred as to the order of irocedure.-Mr. Outhwalte of Ohio attempted o move to go Into committee of the whole or the consideration of the military icndemy appropriation bill , but Mr. Patter son of Tennessee , ns n question of privl- ege , called up the O'Neill-Joy contested election case. Mr. Wuugh of Indiana raised the ques- lon of consideration against It. Mr. Burrows of Michigan explained that Ur. Bartholdt , Mr. Joy's colleague , had > een suddenly called to St. Louis today and thought , In courtesy to him , ns he had ; lven much attention to the case , that Its consideration should bo postponed until his return , but Mr. Patterson declined to do so , and the yeas nnd nays were demanded on he question of consideration raised by Mr. Waugh. Waugh.STARTED STARTED TO FILIBUSTKR. The republicans promptly Inaugurated n filibuster , with a view of forcing the demo- jmts to produce their own quorum before he contested election case should be con sidered. They refrained from voting and ho .democrats fell short of a quorum on n vote , the result being 151 to 4 , and a call vas then ordered. The call developed the iresnnco of 221 members , Mr. Patterson offered a resolution revok- HK all leaves of absenqe and Instructing ho sergeunt-at-arms to telegraph absentees 0 return. It wna ndopted without a di vision. Mr. Patterson then-moved that when the iou.se adjourn today It bo to meet on Thursday next. The motion was carried by 1 vote of 141 to 33 , and tin- house then , ut o'clock , adjourned until Thursday. Another liu1i for Illinois. WASHINGTON , March 20.

" Inquired a tall , gray-haired nnd rather distinguished appear ing gentleman , who entered the private office of the municipal cxccutlvo at noon yesterday. "Why , how are you , Gregory ? " exclaimed the mayor , rising nnd stepping forward to greet his visitor with a warm shako ot the hand. "Do you know mo ? " asked the caller de lightedly. "Know you ? Of course I know you. You are Fred Gregory you are ono of the Gregorys , but I am not sure which one. " "You'ro right. I'm Charles A. Gregory , but I'd never have known you. " "How long Is It since I saw you ? " asked the mayor. "It's a little over forty years since we last met. I am hero as proxy for Colonel R. J. Illnton , editor of the Irrigation Market , delegate to the Irrigation convention , and thought I would drop In and sco how the years were using you. " The mayor was not at all loth to be trans ported back to the days ot his boyhood , and for the next half hour the schoolmates ot half a : cntury ago gave themselves up to reminiscences of old times and the Inter change of Information us to what had be come of Tom , Dick and Harry and all the rest of the boys. Hon. C. A. Gregory was a prominent mem ber of the bar In Chicago for thirty years , but Is now a resident of Now York , and Is devoting his time to Irrigation matters. In the old days when ho and the mayor were companions , ho lived In Cambridge. He had not Intended to attend tlio convention , but Colonel Illnton Informed film last Friday that is was Impossible for him to come and prevailed on Mr. Gregory to take his place and deliver the address that had been as signed to Colonel Illnton. It was Colley Gibber who said , writing of Mrs. Braceglrdle , that "of her audiences at least one-half were her lovers , " and the same might with equal force nnd propriety be said of last night's nudlcnce assembled at Boyd's to assist nt the premiere of nn Omaha girl , Mabel Eaton. Not In several years have so many of the older folk ot Omaha been seen In the theater than last night , while the young star's associates , playmates , schoolmates crowded the audi torium and gave the pretty young woman a reception that In Its warmth must have told the ambitious player that only the best wishes were for her. Upon Miss Eaton nature has lavished a number of pleasant gifts , notable among which Is beauty of n really fascinating type ; she Is tall , very graceful , with a line carriage and has a voice of singular sweet ness , which to her thorough disgust was considerably marred by a disagreeable hoarseness , which detracted somewhat from the well rounded portraiture one has reason to believe would fittingly characterize her performance of a character that runs the whole gamut ot the emotions. Although subject to comparison with that brilliant actress who made La Belle Russe one of the strong creations of the stage , Jelfreys Lewis. Miss Katon quite justlllcd all the expectations of her friends In the part of the queen of the. cleml monde. of belnt , possessed of dramatic talent of no meat proportions. As light ns a feather , but as sharp as a razor , slie deals no rude blows , but cuts down to the emotion she wishes to create and never that one can perceive allows her weapon to control her. Dealing with all the hysteria and paroxysms of passion she directs nnd manages them without ever losing sight of the motif of the play , the drawing of n moral that sin must event ually be exposed in all Its nakedness to the world. "La Belle Russe" Is not a noble play by any means , for It deals with a woman ol the half-world , who through the force of her own Indomitable will and ambition rises above her dead self to a proud position only to be dashed back Into the shadows when' just about to realize the goal for which 'she has so long aspired. Of course there were crudities In her per formance which only association with the stage will remove , but at times she seemed to catch with a special sense of her own at some of the nuances of the text , and at such times the unleashed Instinct of the young candidate for stellar honors ap peared like the foreeleams of true drama tic ability. She has yet much to learn of the technique of her profession. No one re cognizes this more than does Miss Eaton , but them Is In evidence a careful study of the emotional role nnd a desire to do credit to" those who know her , for which she de serves the most pronounced encouragement. So many were her friends in front that Miss Eaton must have grown tired of re ceiving all the tributes of flowers which were presented to her over the footlights , and the warmth of her reception was very llatterlng. Candor compels the statement that the company is only ordinary , Mr. Henry Tnl- bet maklnc a very melo-dramatlc but quite Impossible Dudley Brand. Sir Philip Cnl- thorpe was most acceptably played by Carlton Wells , while the Qullton of Mr. Evans was tinged with a. farce comedy flavor quite unusual with an English bar rister. Hazel Mandevllle made a sweet Little Beatrice , reading with plenslne Intel ligence. The play will be repeated at both matinee and night performances today. FUSS OVER FEES. Tennlu Club Finally Comes to a Decision onii Much Disputed I'olnt. There was a smaller attendance than had been expected at the adjourned annual meeting of th6 members of the Omaha Tennis club last night , but the Interest manifested by those who were present was * iione the less keen. The meeting was called for the purpose of adopting rules , a draft of which had been drawn up by the committee which was appointed two weeks before. Several of the rules , evoked a heated ills- cuslon before they were agreed to , and on the rule fixing the rate of subscription for members many conlllctlng opinions were expressed. The question was simply between a J7 rate and n ? 10 rate. Esti mates were presented by several of the mem bers , who hud put themselves to considerable trouble In the matter as to the cost of certain Improvements which it was pro posed to make to the grounds , nnd It was figured , on the promises of certain men In the town who have the Interest of the game nt heart , that as large a member ship could be secured at $10 as could be act'omodnted on the limited number of courts nt the disposal of the club. It was evident , afli-r much talk , that a majority ot the members present wns In favor of Hxlng the fee nt J10 , nnd Mr. J. Parrlsh withdrew his amendment for a J7 rate and tile other motion wns agreed to unani mously. U Is provided In the rules , ns finally adopted , that no ono shall be entitled to thu privileges of membership until ho shall have paid his dues , that each member nhnll have the privilege of Introducing- more than five nonmembers during the season , such Introductions to bo registered on n visitors' book to be provided for thai pur pose , nnd that lady friends of members shall be permitted the Use of the grounds up to 1 o'clock p. m , and on Thursday evenings. The committee was Instructed to have the ground put In shape without loss of time for the opening of the season. U Is understood that the Ilarney street sldo of the courts will be boarded up , and that the wire netting on the south side will be set buck several feet. The club Is looking forward to a very successful season In every respect. It Is expected that at least three tournaments will be held on the grounds ono for Iho members only , one for residents In the city , and also an Interstate tournament , and In addition to these It Is. probablu that the singles championship of the state will b decided here , thfi doubles being played for at Hastings. The courts will be well looked after , It being Intended to conduct the club on a thoroughly metropolitan basis. Twenty-five new members wore admitted before the meeting broke up.
