"By fours , right column , forward , marchl'
Those were the somewhat startling wordi
tint resounded In the vicinity of Twenty
fourth nntl N streets , South Omaha at C H
ycstenlay morning. The command was glvei
by Captain Mulford of the Omaha guards , nm
a moment later one of Omaha's crack mill
tia companies was marching down N strcc
with the steady strides of veteran troops
Two moments later the Thurston Rifles , com
manded by Captain SUiarff , wore followInt
down the hill. Arriving ut Twenty-seventt
street the two companies deployed to tin
left and took up positions along the front o
the switching yards , which separate tin
business portion of South Omaha from tin
great packing houses of the Cudahy , Ham
inond , Swift and Omaha companies.
The arrival of the state troops from Omalu
was a complete surprise , to the people o
South Omaha. Not more than half a dozei
had been apprised of the fact that Actlni
Governor Majors had finally ordered out tin
mllltla to preserve law and order In a clt ;
where the local authorities had admlttci
that they were powerless. Probably not i
dozen men were on the streets when the bin
edits arrived.
Shortly before 6 o'cl ck , bcfcre the w rklm
men began to gather for their day's work
Captain Mulford's company was divided Inti
squads , and with a eurcennt In charge , tin
men marched up each sldo of N street , ills
pcrslne the small crowd" ) of loiterers whlcl
had already began to assemble. Captalr
Bollard's company patrolled Q street In i
similar manner. Soldiers with dud bayo
nets were stationed at every street corner
nml no one who could not convince the sen
tries that he was entitled to be on the strec
waa permitted to root himself to the spot
The small crowd that hung around the cor
jiers were ordered to move on.
In addition to the state troops the cntln
police force of the city was stationed at tin
foot of N street , while Sheriff Drexel's depu
tics to the number of twenty-five or thlrt ;
lined up along the switch yard.
The effects of the presence of I he stutt
troops were apparent it on'-o. The met

OTHER COMPANIES ARRIVE.
At 10 o'clock sharp a special composed o
a day coach and a baggag * car pulled Inti
the Union Paclllo depot , having on boarc
company C of the First regiment fron
David City. The company at once marchci
to the "guard house , " between the Soutl
Omaha National bank and the Exchange
where arms wire stacked and the bluecout :
given an opportunity to stretch the wrinkle :
out of their legs. The company is u llni

proportions. It Is commanded by Captalt
Qcorgo R. Cotton. First Lieutenant U. E

after 1 o'clock yesterday morning. He hid hi
company at the armory In three-quarters eon
on hour and at an early hour thlrty-tvu
men were on their way.
Adjutant General Gage assumed commani
of the troops until the arrival of llrlgadlo
General Colby. One of the llrst acts of th' '
adjutant general was to establish a line o
communication from the Q stiect viaduct t
the foot of N stieet , thence to the head
quarters at tha Stock Yards exchange. Slgmi
men with flags are placed at each station
nnd by this means the detached portions o
the troops are enabled to act In unison whet
occasion requires.
The troops wein fed by companies at th
exchange from 11 3l ) to U 30. Arrangement
wcro made to hnvo all the troops given thol
eupper by I o'clock. This M before the usua

after noon and at once held a bomevvha
lengthy conference with Acting Governo
Majors and Adjutant General Gugo. Th
general failed to don his regimentals , anil
like the adjutant general. Is consplcuou
among the troops by cltlrcns' clothing.
NOT IN PACKING UUSINESS.
Adjutant General Gage , who up to nooi
was as busy us Napoleon about the time th

they did not start until 10 o'clock In th
forenoon. .
Lieutenant Colonel Vlachofl of the Sccon
regiment also arrived shortly after 4:3 :
o'clock In the afternoon from Nebraska Cttj

The notable- feature of the pretence c
the state troops Is the almost utter absenc
of the dress parade , spectacular catentatlo
usually accompanying the gathering togethe
of the National Guards , General Colby I

DISPOSITION OF TROOPS.
After returning to hc.idquir ers General
Colby Issued orders , making the final dis
position of troops for the night-
Company O , O-naha Guards , Galling sec

rallroiil tracks ; bilanco of company on
Twenty-fourth nor h to L street.
Company E , Thirty-third and Q streets ,
with a detail at Tlilrty-thlrd and L , to pa

Company C , at the Q street viaduct , to
patrol to Twenty-fourth street
Company A , first platoon at L and Iloulp-
vnrd viaduct , to patrol both ways , second
platoon at Shelby and Thlrtle h streets and
from Thirtieth to Q.
The Tlmrston Rifles and company H were
held at headqinrters In reserve , only to bo
called suddenly Into action liter In the even
ing , as subsequent events developed
Tha troops began to move from head
quarters soon after 4 30 o'clock , and before
5 every dc'ochment occupied Us assigned
position
When the 5 o'clock whistles sounded
probably 2,000 people were on the hill lookIng -
Ing down loward the railroad tracks : but N
s reel was clear from curb to curb1 , and
from the Hwltch yards to the top of the hill
The side fctrtctw wire denielv picked , but
the thoroughfare heretofore occupied by the
big crowds was clear except for the boys In
blue co.itn who paced the street on either
side. At the foot of the hill , with Its imir-
ilo turned to the cast , was the gitllng gun
A great deal has been raid about that
galliot ; Run and Its constant rcidincss to
pour n deadly volley Into the ranks of the
strikers ; but af cr all , the machine gun was
thi'ro more as u symbol of the authority of
the ! > tate of Nebraska than as a menace to
strikers It was simply there and ready
for use So were the National Guards ; nml
just as the National G iaids Invoked liw and
o-dcr by their mere presence , jus' so did that
galling gun enforce respect to the govcrn-
inent of Nebraska by the mere fact that It
stood there.
There were numerous Incidents b rder'ng
upon the sensational crowded Into the hour
between 5 and 0 o'clock As the men em
ployed In the picking houses walked home
ward u few looked f r nn outbreak but It
did not come. Not a hand vas uplifted , not
a stone thrown , nor a club ial ed The men
who day before yesterdi ) and the day be
fore _ that run the gauntlet to their homes
last evening went undisturbed Individual
members of the crowd evinced n disposition
to bo ugly They showed 't by dodging
through the lines and refusing to go back.
Some cf them swore and put up clubs or
fists , but In lach oas" the man went back
and staved "back. It required three Omaha
Guards to keep one plug ugly outside of the
lines , but they kept him out
Shortly nftcr E o'cl ck a sergeant reported
to Lieutenant Colonel VI cH ft that the
crowds at the head of N Htreet vveio dis
posed to be ugly , nnd that tha few guards
along-the street would not be sulliclent to
preserve order In the cv. nt cf a moro serious
situation. The lieutenant colonel at once
sent to headquarter * . , and n few moments
later Lieutenant Foyo of the Thurston Rifles
reached the scene with a detachment of
twenty men. He sent a file up e'thcr sldo of
the street.
THOUGHT IT WAS SHOOTING.
At about f > 30 some genuine excitement was
created for a moment by something that
sounded like three musket shots In quick
biiccesblon. The sounds came from near
a group of ten or fifteen jardmen standing
near tha rear line of sentries A moment
later and somcth ng llko a whole valley of
musketry sounded. The sounds were pro
duced by nothing more serious than signal
torpedoes placed on the rails In advance
of a switch engine. Dut the crowds several
blocks up N street didn't Kn w anything
about torpedoes. They nt once imagined a
conflict between the troops and the strikers
nnd several score of men made n rush down
the hill. It happened that but one or two
of the Omaha Guards were on the spot , but
Bugler Werner , who was tso doing guard
duty , s unded the "assembly" aud the
crowd failed to get the width of the street
before they were headed eft by the men
farther down the h 11 This was the only
clement of excitement during the hour.
At fi o'clock Captain Scharlt appeared
with forty rllles nnd t ok up a position ncrth
of the Gitllng Their presence wns hardly
necosbaiy ; but It was the policy of Gen
eral Colby to bring up a reserve detach
ment nt frequent Intervals to conv nee the
people up the hill that he was backed by
ample assistance.
Heforo C 30 the streets had resumed their
normal appearance and Soulh Omaha was
llself again There was but little use for
the troops durlrg the night and It Is be
lieved lhat there will bo less today. All
of the troops were withdrawn fiom the
streets , bj 9 o'clock nnd sent to their quar
ters. A few sentries paced lonelj beats
beneath the stars nr.d peace hovered over
South Omaha ,
STRIKERS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
The executive committee of sixteen of the
strikers held a sesblon from 10 to 12 o'clock ,
For the last two dajs the committee has
been at woik on a svbtem to raise funds tc
carrj on Ihe slrlkc. "You can saj In The

nsked In whut munncr the funds arc

lalsed by assessment , but that considerable

"What effect will the arilvnl of state trrcps

"It Is Just what w& want , fho ciiruiiittvc

Several of the members of the executive

WASHINGTON , Aug. 10. A crisis In th
tar.ft affairs was reached todiy both In th
open senate and In the ectrct c tmc Is of th
democratic tariff conferees. When the can
fcr.nc ? closed tonight It was with the tin
dcrstondlng that the meetings would be stts
pcndcd for the present. No time was set fo
rcasscmbl'ng the conferees tomorrow o
thereafter , and It was felt that no furthc
sessions might bo necessary In case the sen
ate acted favorobty on Senator Hill's resolu
tlon directing the conferees to report tin
situation of affilrs. What was of moro Im
portance was the feeling exprcscd by th
house conferees at 4he close of the confer
encc that In case the H'll resolution passed-
und they believed It would the confereno
would practically ba relieved of Its work , am
It would remain only for the house to ac
cept the senate bill as n lesser evil , they \K \
lleve , than ho McKlnlcy la v. These con
elusions were reached ifttr - . duy ot Intousi
excitement among 'iuilff leaders. Tin
day opnnptl with the senate proposlt'on fo
free sugar still pending before the confer
ence Chairman Wilson nnd hU house ns
toclntes were satisfied that ths tender cf frci
sugar was not made In good faith , and the ;
had , therefore , requested the senate con
forces to furnMi n poll of the senate , show
Ing that If the propo'Itlon were nc
cepted It would be adopted by tin
senate and the bill pissed. The poll wa
considered as soon as the conferees con
vened It disclosed that In the event o
the acceptance of the free sugar amcndmcn
the bill as u whole would be voted agalns
by thirty-eight republicans and by Senitor
Kyle , Allen and PeHer , populists , and Cat
fery and Blnnchard , democrats , a tctnl o
forty-three votes , or sufficient to defeat th
bill. This poll was mndu on the best judg
ment of the senate conferees. The housi
accepted It as showing conclusively tin
the tender of the free sugar amendment
while made In goo.l filth by the senate con
fcrees , v.as a means adopted by the con
servatlves for the purposa of defeating tarlf
legislation and leaving the McKlnlcy law li
force.
WILL STAND FOR THE SUGAR BOUNTY
The discussion brought out for the firs
tlmo the statement that the defensive al
llance between certain senators had pro
ceeded further than mutual co-operation , am
was now reduced to a signed agreement
While members of the conference do no
clilni to have seen the agreement , the ;
stated as n fact that Senators Kyle , Allen
PefTer , Blanchard and Caffery had reduce !
their unJerstnndlng to black and white am
had signed It to the effect that they wouh
vote against any bill which did no contali
n bounty clause for sugar. As free suga
would eliminate the bounty provision , tin
b'gned ' agreement was regarded as shov/lni
that the five senators combined with the re
publicans would defeat the bill I
v.as while animated comments wer
being made on the foregoing condl
tlons that word reached the conferenci
of Senator Hill's coup d'etat In the opei
senate. The conference hastily adjourned
the senators going on the fi or to take par
In the debate.
Mr. Wilson was not dlspcsed to ottacl
much weight to Senator nil's move at tin
outset , and said that It would be futile , a :
the senate could not act while the bill wa :
in conference. This feeling was shared ti
n largo extent early In the day by tin
hcuso leaders , who characterized It as om
of the "bluffs" which had been made elate
late to demoralize the house ccnferees am
force them to yield. Liter In the day , however
over , this feeling gave way to one of pro
found fear of the s tuatlon and the future o
the bill.
At 2 o'clock the ccnference , or n part o
It , again assembled with the Hill rcs.lu
tion and the exciting debate thereon us tin
mstn topic among them. Little or no nt
tempt was made to take up Items or sched
uleJ , tl o talk being on the sensational gen
enl phases developed and no piogrcss wa :
made up to u o'clock , when the c nfereno
separated without fixing n time for reas
sembllng.
Senatcr Br ce , speaking of the situation to
night , said that for the first tlmo he hai
to admit that the chances for the bill an
not good , but he believed thnt the parlla
mentary tangle would be straightened si
that the senate bill could be passed "Brush
Ing aside ull parliamentary cobwebs , " h
said , "and using c'mmon sense there 1
no reason why the house cannot nt any tlm
concur In the senate amendments and pas :
the bill If the senate should now talf
Some further act on like Indefinite postpone
ment It might complicate affairs "
CAUSED LOTS OF COMMENT.
The unexpected turn ot tariff affairs In th
senate brought out much comment fron
members of the house , and with few o\
ccptlons It was favorable to the move urgci
by Senatoi s Hill and Aldrlch for getting th
bill out of conference Several leading mem
hers ot the house said they would urga smlla
resolutions In the house If the rules vvouli
permit. They believed , however , that unanl
mous consent would be icqulred , and till
could not be hoped for. One of the house con
ferees said at the close of the exciting senat
debate that If the members were anxious t
kill the tariff bill they had chosen tlio rlgh
course In supporting the Hill resolution. Till
conferee expressed doubt whether the conference
ferenco would reassemble today or pendlni
the action of the senate on the Hill and Aid
rich resolutions.
Some discussion occurred among the sen
ators after the senate went Into cxecutlv
session and the opinion was expressed tha
tomorrow u disagreement would bo reported
It was said that the senate conferees let
the conference room today feeling that nether
other course but disagreement was possible.
In presenting his resolution calling for :
report from the senate conferees on th
tariff bill , Senator Hill did what has been li
contemplation In one form or another for al
most n week. It has been held back In do
fcrence to the wishes of the conferees them
selves , who have been Indisposed to hav
such a question precipitated as long * as thcr
was any hope ot reaching an agreement. I
cannot be definitely ascertained whether the ;
gave their assent to the proceeding on th
part of Mr. Hill today , but the best Informa
tlcn obtainable 1st hat while not desiring t
evade the duty of Informln gtho senate o
the status of the conference , they did noth
Ing to encourage the decision , and wouli
have preferred that Its presentation be do
fcrred for the present.
The significant points In connection wltl
today's proceedings were the votes of sucl
senators as Allen , Blanchard , Gibson , Hill
Murphy , Palmer and Pugh In favor of th
consideration ot the Hill resolution , th
statement of Senator Harris as to the point
ot difference In the bill and the promise o
Senator Vest to give all the facts In detail
It the Hill resolution should pass.
Among the votes ot the senators blios
names are given In detail , there Is at leas
a large sprinkling of democrats , who hav
grown Impatient at the delay In conference
and sliows that there Is a growing sentlmen
for n disposition ot the question In earn
way at the earliest practicable time.
What effect the proceedings will have upo
the house or the house conferees la a matte
Ot speculation , There are those about th
senate in a position to know all that Is t
bo known , who predict a protracted con
tlnuance of conferences , but the temper of th
senate Is at present decidedly against an
further great delay , and a dlsagreelne repot
within the next few days Is freely predicted
Tha republican * claim that the bill U t
a very critical sltntlon nil mettt ot them pro
fess to believe that nn . ( ndoflnlte postpone
ment Is In the near future.
Senator Hill expects his resolution to be
adopted tomorrow by practically the same
vote that wns cast today against going Into
executive session ,

WASHINGTON , AUJJ. 0 , In comparison
with Its most recent predecessors , the Fifty-
third congress bids fair 'to become noted
for Its abstinence from public building ap
propriations Although two sessions have
nearly passed , nnd although" ' many bids ,
large and small , hnvo been" reported from
the proper committees , but ono solitary net
has succeeded In passing the gauntlet ol
objectors In both houses atfd obtaining the
president's signature.
Aftcf thj experience of Wednesday , when
the lioiMe committee on ptiblfc buildings was
given the day , and could /not succeed In
passing a single bill on too calendar be
cause of the economical tendencies of sev
eral members from the POtitn , those who had
pinned their faith upon the ) success of sun
dry building projects for their districts have
abandoned hope of securing ] anything which
Invovcfi an appropriation. Particularly IE
this true of the Chicago members , who have
waged an arduous and uublll campaign In
order to bring to the attention of congress
the needs of the postal Reritce ot their city
for adequate housing In the spring they
worked for some tlmo to gpt the commlttc :
to visit Chicago ; utter that visit , which
convinced the commltt'o Of the necessity for
a ncu postolUce , ( hero was no trouble In
securing n recommendation , but thnt having
been obtained there VMS Ji struggle to brlnK
the bill up on the floor. After Wednesday's
setback they are gieitly discouraged and
hardly expect to Ii3 nble to ilo anything.
Bcsldo the demand from Chicago there has
been n strong pressure brought to bear for
the completion of the New ( York appraisers'
wai chouse. The bill for Its. completion waste
to have been called up after the Chicago
building on Wednesday , but that U-fatcd
measure blocked the way From many smnller
cities come appeals for government buildings ,
but there Is small chance for their bills this
session , nnd the outlook for-thc next Is not
considered bright unless the economical ob
jectors should ba converted from th'lr pres
ent tactics _

WASHINGTON , Aug. 10. The river and
harbor appropriation bill which bus been
agreed to In both houses provides for three
n w projects which have long been sought
by the senators who hav * ( > j the credit of
securing their adoption They nro a boat
lalhvny to overcome the obstructions at The
Dulles of the Columbia river In Oregon and
Washington ; another Is for a canal to con-
n ct Lakes Union and Washington with
Puget sound , and the third to begin the
coi sliuctlon of a lock In the Mississippi
ilver bt'tweJii St Puul and Minneapolis to
extend the head of navigation to the last
named place.
The boil lallway project contemplates a
hydraulic lift to raise steamboats out of
the water , placing them upon a largo tram
way car , running upo i eight or more tracks ,
tiansportlng them thhtccm miles and re
turning them to the water. U Is cxp cted
that this gigantic railway 'nnd the nccessiry
machinery would be completed In four years.
The cost Is about $2,000,000 ,
The canal , which Is to connect the waters
of Puget sound with tile fresh water of
Lakes Union nnd Washington , It is expected ,
vslll be ot great commcrplnlt benefit , because
It will give ships nn opportunity to anchor
In fresh wateir after long > ? voyaBes""ln the
Pacific. Anotlur benefit K to bo gained by
having several navul vessels , while not In
commission , stationed In thb fresh water
The lock to be placed In the Mississippi
river between St. Paul nnd Minneapolis con-
trmplutes n lock and dam In the rapids ,
midway between the two cities , which makes
feasible the navigation of the Mississippi

says General Superintendent Flllmoro of
tlia Southern Pacific ! asked today
whether the company Is preventing members
of the American Railway * union who en
gaged In the strlko from getting employ
ment ot any kind. Mr. Flllmore said : "Wo
have no use for men who engaged In the
recent strlko and will not encourage them
In any way. "
"Suppose these strikers should obtain
other employment , would your company go
out of Its way to have them discharged ? "
ho was asked.
"Yes , " answered Mr. rtllmoro. "If I
know thnt a man was not true to this
company nnd If I find out that ho has got
a Job anywhere I will pursue him and use
my best efforts to get- him discharged.
These fellows who killed onr englnoirs , de
stroyed our property nnd murdered our
employes shall never eutn bread and butter
In California If I can help It. Against
those men who did not take nn active part
In the strlko I have nothing to say. I have
no bitter feelings against tliom , When wo
need tholr help wo will hln * them again ,
for wo do not consldtr they -nero altogether

wo have no such consideration. Wo have

In cleaning awny tlio debris of tlio wreck
of the Rock Isluiul express , which went
through the v Induct over the Union I'nclfio
tracks fho miles south of Lincoln last night.
At 5 o'clock this afternoon the men at work
on the ruins had reached the bottom of the
charred heap , unearthing the remains of
eleven bo.lles , which It Is believed Is the total
list of the killed. ThereIs little by which
any of the remains can he Idcntllled , they
for the most jmrt consisting simply of
charred pieces of bone , vvl h the skull In
most cases Intact. They were picked up
as carefully ns possible , placed In sacks

NEGRO CHARGED WITH TUB GIUMC.
A colored man giving his name as George
Washington Da\ls was arrested at 10 o'clock
this evening on suspicion of wrecking the
train. Detective Malone caught him at tlio
residence of a farmer named Lawmlcll , living
six and one-half miles south of the city.
The olliccr claims that he has sufficient
evidence to convict him. Two young
fellows claim to have seen him last
night about S o'clock In the Vicinity of
the wreck with a crowbar , and n farmer
named Spelts says he taw a colored man , now
supposed to be Davis , going away from the
scene of the wrick Immudlalely after Its oc
currence. There are sc\ual others who
claim to Imvo seen him acting suspiciously
near the scene of the wreck last night. Davis
claims ho waa In a salojn , and heating of tlio
wreck went directly there. Ho gave his oc
cupation as fanner , and his agj at 30. Ho
has been knocking about town for a week
or so , and has been accused of several thefts
and burglaries that have been committed
recently In the neighborhood of the disaster.
Davis told the ofilecrs other stories which do
not hung together well , and they seem to
think ho Is the guilty man. The "only motlvo
that can bo ascilbcd to his do ng the deed Is
robbery or pure devlllbhness.
