General Passenger Agent Lornax of the Union Pacific Is developing qualities as a fighter which were thought to bo entirely foreign to his disposition. For months past the all-absorbing topic in passenger circles has been the question of Immigrant rates to the west , and more hard words have been said over this problem than over any one question that has arisen In railroad circles for years. The Union Pacific having pro ceeded to make hay while the sun was high during the World's Columbian exposition , In the matter of securing contracts on foreign business , has been Knocked from post to pillar , resisting the onslaught of rival roads desirous of breaking up the combinations effected by Lomax's road. Dut thus far the combined opposition of the roads has accomplished little , and the general pas senger agent of the Overland route now an nounces that his road will make a ? 15 roundtrip - trip rate from Missouri river and Ne braska points for the American In- stltuto ot Homeopathy June 14-22 , League of Republican clubs , Juno 26 ; Im perial Council Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic- Shrine , July 24-27 , and Leagues of American Wheelmen , August IS IS , all of which meet In Denver. This rate Is also gooi > to Colorado Springs and Pueblo. It Is asserted at Union Pacific headquar ters that the Burlington and Rock Island originally announced the $15 rate for the American Institute of Homeopathy and to protect its business In the west the Union Pacific announces tlio same rate for all the other conventions which will bo entertained at Denver this year. Whether these rates will remain as at present announced Is quite a serious ques tion for the railroads , the Indications being that long before the meetings convene lower fares will bo announced. It Is a year of unrest In railroad as well as commercial circles , and there Is a notice able disposition on the part of railroad companies' ' to get out of associations that will not permit manipulation of rates , In order that earnings may show btablllty In stead of a decided decrease , as Is now pre dicted. All Indications point to a fight over the rates promulgated by the Union Pacific , In which case the public will not bo the suf ferer. CHNTltAr , 1'ACIFIO DEHT. Attorney Tolls How It Is tlio Company I > lcl Not Meet lt Obl'gutlonx. ' WASHINGTON , May 2. Central Pacific matters today occupied the attention of the house committee on Pacific railroads. Charles H. Tweed of New York , counsel for the Central Pacific , submitted figures show ing the debt of the company to the govern ment , which he said Is , in round numbers , from $62,600,000 to $65,000,000 , of which $ - > S - 000,000 Is principal and the remainder unpaid Interest. There are about 800 miles of the aided portion of the road. Besides this there are several nonalded portions of the system In California not subject to the gov ernment Hen and on all of which there Is a specific mortgage. Tha whole system is under lease by the Southern Pacific company. Mr. Tweed was asked why It was the com pany had not made any provision to pay the annual Interest amounting to $1,600,000 on the government debt. Ho replied when the acts authorizing the construction of the roads were passed It was believed the charges for government transportation would bu suf ficient to provide for the Interest as It ac crued. It was also Intended that C per cent of the net earnings of the property should bo retained as a portion of the sinkIng - Ing fund. None of these expectations had been fulfilled. The calculations as to the amount of the government's ex penditures for transportation charges had been made on the basis of what they were before the road had been built and when the transportation was by overland routes. Mat ters thus went on until 1878 , when the Thurman act was passed , which Mr. Tweed said was another step In the direction of providing for the government debt. The Central Pacific , ho said , had been under lease by the Southern Pacific since 1S85 , at first at an annual rental ot $1,200,000 , and then at $1.300.000 in excess of Its fixed charges. Thcro had been a deficit in the earnings below the rentals each year from 1887 , when It was over $100,000. The last year in which a report had been made , the decrease was over $500,000. The committee adjourned at the end of Mr. Tweed's state ment , TRAINS AM , RUNNING. AtTiilrH on Mm Crrnt Northern .Mo\o Along i\i-nly : After iho NtilUc. ST. PAUL. May 2.

In the yards hero full crows were at work getting all train * out practically on tlmo and the men were feeling particularly Jubi lant.

Today Is the day the cranks have been yearning for. This afternoon , old Jupiter I'ltiv permitting , the Western association championship season will bo opened at the Charles Street park. Hock Island will bo Omaha's opponent , and a worthy ons she may prove , for there Is no team In the new body that has any license to beat her. The afternoon will bo signalized by a parade of the principal thoroughforcs. This will consist of the Union Pacific band , the two teams , and city omclals , base ball magnates and reporters In carriages. Thcro will bo a grand , good tlmo all 'round , with flying flags and open air concert at the grounds , and all the other etceteras ot a galla occasion. Every fan In the city Is on the tip too of expectation and should the sunshtno ho will turn lilmsolf loose this afternoon with a whoop and a hurrah. If the Interest and excitement which has marked the spring practice seaton can bo taken for aught , this afternoon will start off the greatest epoch In boso ball the Gate City has ever experi enced. From every quarter It Is the same old story , every ono Is enraptured over the return of this greatest ot all outdoor sports. And this Is not only the case here , but all over the country , the same feeling prevails. A tidal wave of enthusiasm Is sweeping over the land. Already throughout the confines ot the union there Is something llko a half hundred base ball leagues in full blast. Five or six thousand men are making a good living out of the bat and ball , and fully COO cities and towns are in the battle for championship honors. Verily , basa ball Is the national pastime , and he who falls to appreciate this fact Is an obstruction to his own progress. Eight clubs will start In the Western as sociation race this afternoon , and opening games will be played In four of the eight cities represented. Omaha , Des Moincs , St. Joe and Lincoln are the favored ones. Hock Island , Jacksonville , Peorla and Qulncy fur nish the opposing teams , these cities being the eastern half ot the association. "PLAY BALL. " At 3:30 : sharp the gang wll start the chase. May It bo both a stern one and a long one. The teams are all on the scratch , with n fair Held and no favor. At sundown there will bo a quartet of victors , and a quartet of victims. On whom will the gods smile ? The teams are evenly balanced , and It will require necromantic perspicuity to foresee the result. May Omaha be among the laurel bearers , and may she , six months hence , gallop In under the wire ahead of all competitors ! But will she ? Of course that Is a question that cannot bo safely answered until next September. It Is safe to say , however , that the Rourke family will not disgrace the great city they repre sent. They are a lot of gingery colts , and must make u creditable race. Anyway , they have an even chance with the other seven cities. Captain Rourke says he will make It good as third , under any circumstances , and Is strongly inclined * believe the pennant will float over the Charles Street grand stand in 1895. Ho has never been connected with a likelier town , so nicely balanced In all Its details , so harmonious , determined and ag gressive. "With our share of good fortune , " ho ob served , "I thlat.e'H be tbreast the leaders when they enter the stretch In September. I cannot see where any team In the associ ation has any the best of "us. "We are strong In the box , and will bo stronger when Alex Whltoblll gets here , which -will 1/3 soma tlmo this week. Whlteblll is the pitching phenom picked up by Sioux City , you know ; the fel low who let Plttsburg down and out with but four hits and no runs. Watkins - kins has kindly released htm to Omaha. Ho wants us to win and we want him to win. I have two excellent catchers In Moran and Fear , an Infield that Is up with some of the best of them , and an out field of the glltedgo sort. We can all hit and hit hard , and I don't sco how wo can lose. " But the opening game takes place today. Charles Street park will probably see a great crowd within Its fences , especially If the weather is fair. Mayor Bcmls will give the boys a start with a bit ot oratory , and toss the now ball Into the diamond. The city council and city and county officials are ex pected to turn out In a body. Invitations have been sent them. The first feature of the afternoon will bo the parade. At 2 o'clock the Omaha and Rock. Island teams , officers of the two clubs and all invited guests will take open car riages in front of Bundle's , and preceded by the Union Pacific band , traverse the prin cipal streets. At half-past 3 the two teams will fnco each other as follows : Omaha. Position. Rock Island.

Tlio Secretary of the MnmifueturerV r.x- clutngn Him Ileen There. Secretary Tongo of the Manufacturers' ex change has just returned from a visit to Balfour and expresses himself as very favor ably Impressed with that now gold mining camp and confident of Its future. Ho says there are already about 200 buildings erected , Including two general stores and one gro cery , carrying an aggregate stock of about $12,000 , three meat markets , two lumber yards , ono dry goods store , ono hardware store , ono clothing and shoo store , three blacksmiths' shops , two carpenter shops , two bakeries , a paint shop and a barber shop. Considering that , the first building was erected on last Thanksgiving day , this Is a good showing. There are also in the town four civil and mining engineers , two assayers - ers , a public school , with scholars In regular attendance , the number Increasing weekly , while Rev. Air. Dwyer will commence the erection of a church In May. "Over 2,000 mining claims have been staked , " said Mr. Tonge , "which , however , do not cover to exceed one-fourth of the likely ground , and over 1,000 assessment holes have been dug , Inclusive of shafts ranging from twenty to eighty feet In depth. The deeper shafts and many of the prospects show , on assays , very encouraging gold- bearing material ranging from ? 10 to $200 per ton. Only one mlno as yet has n steam holster , but several others have ordered or are about to order hoisting and pumping plants , and there Is a disposition to obtain such machinery from Colorado manufactur ers. Boston , 'Denver and Colorado Springs capitalists are Interested In a few -of the properties , on which development work will now be pushed with every likelihood of very satisfactory results at an early date. In the .meantime , however , the great need of Bal four Is capital , many of the ten-foot prospect holes having been dug by practical working ' miners from Leadvllle , Aspen , Falrplayt 'Alma ' , Cripple Creek , etc. , who by reason ot lack oC financial means are willing to transfer a one-half Interest In such a property to any one < vho will furnish the amount necessary to sink an additional foot. In this way outside capi talists can for a comparatively small sum acquire a one-half ownership In what may prove a very valuable property , with the minimum of risk of loss. The discoveries which may follow the pending development work on the few of the propiirtlea already over thirty foot deep may , within the next month or two , raise the tnrms on which Interests In prospects cin be acquired. "Cripple Creek parties are locating In Balfour because the former district does not possess the long , continuous veins which Balfour has , and also because a man of limited capital can got In Balfour a much better showing for his money than ho now can at Crlpplo Creek. The fact that Bal four is within five miles of the line of the Colorado Midland railroad , , and that the In tervening country presents no engineering difficulties , justifies the prediction that the development of the mines will guarantee early railroad connection. In the meantime an eight-mile stage drive from either Spin ney or Hartsol , over good roads , furnishes easy access to the town , and every" mine In the district can bo reached by buggy. " Dlt.

Several years ago Tllfoid was sentenced to fifteen years In the penitentiary for attempting to derail a Homestako pay train In the Black Hills. He was released from prison on a habeas corpus writ. Ills attorneys claimed that It ho was guilty of the crime for which ho was convicted ho should have boon sentenced to Ufa Imprison ment , and giving him a shorter sentence was Illegal.

FRIENDS OF SILVER CONFER Largo Gathering of the Friends of the White Metal , CONGRESS OF BIMETALUSTS IN LONDON lleprenenlnthe * I'rrtrnt from Jinny Nation * They lii\or Interimtluiml Agree ment for 1'reo Colnngn of Oolcl nnd blUcr.it n I'lJed Itntlo. LONDON , May 2. The International bl metallic conference under the auspices ot the Bimetallic Icngua was called to order In the Egyptian hall ot the Mansion house today ex-Lord Mayor Evans presiding. Lon Mayor Tyler was unable to be present. The proceedings opened with an address by the lord mayor , after which Prof. Shields Nicholson read a paper on the "Fall In the Genera ! Level of Prices In Relation to the Appreciation of Gold , nnd the Divergence In Relative Value of Gold and Silver. " During the afternoon lit. Hon. A. J. Hal four , the conservative leader In the House of Commons , delivered an address , and ho was followed by a paper by Leonard Cour tonay , M. P. , on "Tho Practicability o Maintaining a Ratio Between Gold and Sll vcr Under an International Bimetallic Agree merit. " A discussion ensued. A banquet will bo given this evening to the English and foreign members ot the conference. FOUR HUNDRED WERE PUESENT. There were about 400 delegates prcson at the opening session today , among them being Brooks Adams of Boston , Mass. ; Mr Vandcrberg , president ot the Bank of The Netherlands. Amsterdam ; Henry Gernusch of Paris , president of the French Bimetallic league ; David Murray , president of the South Australian Bimetallic league ; Thomas Salt , late president of the Bankers' Instl tute ; Sir Malcolm Frascr , agent general In London for Western Australia ; Rt. lion W. Llddcrdale , ex-governor of the Bank o England , and a number of prominent foreign and British financiers , as well as many members of Parliament. The object of the Bimetallic league Is to urge upon the British government the ncccs slty of co-oporatlng with other leading na tions for the establishment of the frco coinage - ago of gold and silver at a fixed ratio. Among the letters of regret was ono from Archbishop Walsh of Dublin. The archbishop said that ho was specially glad to see the conference discuss the aspects of the case In which Ireland was moat deeply concerned namely , the ruinous effects of the prcsenl artificially created dearth of money upon husbandry and Its Interests. Concerning the currency question generally the archbishop wrotq ; "I can only say that the experience since a year ago will but serve to strengthen the conviction ot the Irrlslstlble strength of the cause of International bimetallism. The practical feature of the recent experiment tampering with the currency of India ought surely to bo sufficient to finally check any further development of the disastrous doc- trlnary policy which has so long held ground In England. " EMINENT FINANCIER'S OPINION. The governor of the Bank of France , M Magnln , also sent a letter applauding the alms of the conference , saying : "Tho silver question Imposes itself more every day upon financiers. The whole world requires Its so lution In Its general interest. It Is intimately bound up in the commercial and Industrial prosperity of nil nations. I am a resolute partisan of the rehabilitation of sliver. " Prof. Francis A. Walker wrote applaud ing the "gallant , gaining fight for tile-resto ration of silver to Its historical place In the currencies pf the world , \yhlch the Bimetal lic league is making. " , , , , Prof. Andrews of Brown university , Provl denco , R. I. , wrote : "Our cause Is making rapid progress and we are certain to suc ceed. " During the discussion which followed the reading ot Prof. Nicholson's paper Dr Arendt , a member of the Prussian diet , de clared that bimetallism was making progress In Germany and he thought If an Interna tional conference was held now It wouli have very different results from the Brussels conference. The feature of the conference was the speech of Mr. Balfour. He said that manj who were suspicious of the double standard and bimetallic system now recognized , in view of great impending dangers , that the best safeguard was to rehabilitate silver as ono of the great Instruments of the monetary transactions of the world. It was absolutely necessary that the monetary functions ot silver should be restored If business was to bo carried on upon a solid basis. The diffi culties of an International agreement , ho Insisted , wore merely as to the details and If any question should bo set tled by an International agreement surely this one should bo. Mr. Balfour claimed the action of the United States had forced the Indian and British governments Into the sys tem now prevailing , adding : "Wo ought to enter Into an agreement with the countries of the world for a bimetallic Joint standard. The solution of the problem Is easier than It will be five years hence. Great Is the re sponsibility of those who keep England In stupid , selfish Isolation In this great ques tion. " INTERNATIONAL RATIO PRACTICABLE. Sir. Leonard Courtcnay , M. P. , followed , contending "that an International flxcO ratio was practicable If based upon the nor mal production of gold and silver. The banquet to the foreign delegates this evening was held at tha Albion house. Ex- Lord Mayor Evans presided. Right Hon. Henry Chaplin , formerly president of the board ot agriculture , proposed a toast to the .success of the conference and addressed a few remarks of welcome to the delegates. M. Henri Corntschul , president of the French Bimetallic league , responded to Mr. Chaplin's renmilcs. Sir William H. Houldsworth , who was the delegate of Great Britain at the monetary conference at Brussels , offered n toast to the guests , and In the course ot his remarks expressed regrets at the absence of the American representatives. M. George do Levellyo of Brussels and Dr. Arndt of Germany responded. Dr. Arndt said the proceedings ot the conference pointed to the fact that another banquet would soon bo held to colcbrato the solution of this great question. Court Martini for Mtmtcpimt .Miiney.
