Nearly a year ago Charles Davis received a penitentiary sentence ot three years In Omaha for burglary. At tha same tlmo Chnrlw' brother , Joe , was sentenced to thirty days In tlio Doubles county jail. Charles Is married , while Joe Is not. The two brothers look very much alike. When the turnkey ot the Douglas county jail called for Charles to escort him to the penitentiary , Joe came for ward and was hustled off to Lincoln and bookcJ by Warden Becmer as Charles Davis. Soon after this Mrs. Charles David called at the jail and asked to tee her husband. She was told that he had been taken to the pen itentiary. She replied that It was not so , as filio saw him then , and pointed him out. This gave away the scheme , and Charles was ac cordingly conveyed to Lincoln. Warden llccmcr refuted to make an exchange of prl - onori without proper legal proceedings , and ns Joe Davis had no money and no attorney ho has lain In the penitentiary now for a year under a jail sentence of thirty days.

RIVALS IN THE CATTLE LINE Shipments from Argentine to England In creasing Very Bt pidly , QUALITY IS INFERIOR TO AMERICAN Aiutratla and Now Zealand Aluo Shlpplnc Some , bat While the Quality U Good the Costs of Shipment Eat Up All the Trout. WASHINGTON , Juno 14. Dr. Salmon of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the De partment of Agriculture has received from the bureau In Great Britain a very Interest ing report In regard to Imports of live cattle tlo and sheep from Argentine and other countries. This report shows very large gains In the Imports of live cattle Into Great Drltatn from that country. These Importa tlons began In 1891 with the shipment of twenty-two head. In 1894 the Imports of cattle had Increased to 5,018 , whllo 37,235 head of sheep were also Imported In the came year. The Imports for 1S95 from Jan uary 1 to May 1C are , for cattle , 10,795 , and for sheep , 121,501. The losses at sea of these cattle , while rather greater than those Incurred on cattle and sheep from the United States , are not extraordinary. On the Im ports for 1S94 the losses at sea amounted to forty-flvo head of cattle and 674 sheep , while on the large shipments of 1895 as given above the losses were , cattle , COS ; sheep , 3,440. The cattle Imported from Argentine are reported as coarse , rough , unfinished and very wild , their weight being from 1,100 to 1,200 pounds , and they cost In Argentine from $25 to $35 per head. To this amount must bo added ocean freights , $22.50 to $25 ; feed and attendance , $15 , white the price realized In Great Britain Is from $70 to $ SO a h = ad. The voyage lasts about thirty days and owing to the largs quantity of feed re quired ( about 12.500 to 15.000 cubic feet space per 220 cattle ) only a comparatively small number can be'carried on each ship. Butchers report the meat as flabby and hard to "set" after slaughter , and unsatisfactory as to color , not being as bright as United States cattle. Some butchers , Indeed , re fuse to handle It for these reasons. These conditions are attributed to tha fact that the cattle are mostly fed on alfalfa. As regards the receiving and slaughtering In Great Britain , the same rules are enforced against the cattle from Argentine as agalnat those from the United States. All must be slaughtered within ten days of being landed. The bureau representatives report upon some shipments from New Zealand and Aus tralia , principally the former , five cargoes having been received thence , against two from Australia. The cattle were well bred , mainly Hcrefords and Shorthorns , and In good flesh , weighing from 1,500 to 1,800 , some of them being too fat for the London market. They brought prices equal to those paid for American cattle. There seems , however , to be no reason to apprehend a great In crease In this trade. The great length of voyage , sixty to seventy-live days , the dif ferent degrees of latitude , requiring the greatest care to prevent sickness , high freight charges , $40 to $50 a head , and the great space for fodder , sem to afford In superable obstacles to any considerable or permanent Increase In cattle shipments from Australia. There Is. moreover , no port on the way where fodder can be procurd , all ports avail able for such purposes being under condem nation by the British authorities as In fected with foot and mouth or other Con tagious diseases. In the case , of two ship ments , where the vessels had stopped for coal at such port , the authorities compelled the cattle to ba slaughtered on board the ship. The same restrictions as exist In the case of American cattle are enforced against these from Australia. The amount of cattle exported by the United States fell off from 192.955 during the last half of 1894 to 87,912 during the first four months of this year , but this Is ac counted for by the high prlci of cattle here , rather than the Inroads of Argentine. The exportation of sheep , which began In Jan uary , 1891 , Increased from 85,809 for the first six months of that year to 105,311 for tha first four months of this year. I'ltOIJUOTlOM OF TICKUIOUS fllKTALS Cold nnil Silver .Mined In 1801 Kxcredrd Any Year In thn World' * Illctnry. WASHINGTON , June 14. The director of the mint , II. E. Preston , estimates the world's production of gold for the calendar year 1894 to have approximated 8,870,578 flno ounces , of the valua of $181,510,100 , against $153- 836,000 for 1893 , showing an Increase during the year of $22,674,100. The greatest In crease In the production of gold during the year was : Africa , $11,400,000 ; Australia , $6,073,000 ; United States , $3,500,000 ; Mexico , $3,195,000. Mr. Preston estimates the world's pro duction of silver for 1894 nt 165,918,338 fine ounces , of the coinage value of $214,381,000 ; the bullion value of the same , at the average price ( viz. 63 % cents ) of silver for 1894 , was $105,348,135 , showing a difference between the coinage and bullion value of $109,132,865. The Increase in the production of silver In 1891 over 1893 was 722,000 ounces. The great est Increase In the production of silver was Bolivia. $10.800.000 ; Mexico , $3.500,000 ; Peru $2.700.000 ; Chill , $1,400,000 ; Greece , $1,400- 000. 000.Tho The production of both gold and silver Ir 1894 exceeded that of any prior year In the world's history. Mr Preston Is of tlu opinion that his estimate of gold and sllvei production for 1894 Is a conservative one am ho Is of the opinion that were the exacl figures known they would show an Increase even greater than stated.

The promulga tion ot a Treasury department circular carryIng - Ing Into effect the joint resolution ot con gress excepting from the operation ot the alien contract labor law all foreigners brought over to this country by foreign ex hibitors or owners of concessions at the Cotton States exposition at Atlanta has called attention to the results ot a similar resolution adopted for the World's fair. Both resolutions authorized such foreigners to re main In this country ono year after the close of the exposition , but alter the expiration of that time , t'hould they still remain In this country , they were made subject of all the processes and penalties applicable to aliens coming In violation of the alien contracl labor law. In neither case , however , did congress make any appropriation or provision for the arrest and deportation of such per sons , and In the case of the Chicago fair none were ever apprehended or deported The exact number who remained In this country In violation of the law Is not known but It IP believed that not more than three- fourths of the whole number ever returned to the countries whence they came. Owing to the want of funds the government took no steps to ascertain how many remained nor Is likely to do so after the close ot the Atlanta exposition. The necessary result will be that many foreigners will take this opportunity to come to the United States with the Intention of remaining , knowing that congress hae made no provision for tho'r deportation.

Nothing definite , lowever , was accomplished , owing to the nb sence of V. O. Slr.cUlcr , who was In Lin coln. Another nicotine of the board will probably be held today and some action , It Is quite likely , will bo then taken. Mayor Bcmls and Commissioners Smith , Drown and Deaver were present and spent the evening In executive session. Martin White , chief of the police and de tective system of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. I'u 111 railway , was In conference with the board during the evening. He Is one of the candidates before the board. Another candi date , Klpley , chief of the detcctlvo service of Chicago , may bo In Omaha today. Martin J. White , the present chief of the secret service of the Milwaukee , and who In all probab.llty will be chief of the Omaha police force before many days , arrived In the city at noon yesterday and spent most of the afternoon In the mayor's olllco , where ho was closeted with Mayor Demls and the Hoard of Fire and 1'olico Commissioners Just what transpired during this session Is not In evidence , but at Its close It was an nounced that a satisfactory understanding hud been reached and that the chancci were that Mr. White would be elected chief of police Monday night. If not sooner. The recent trip of Commissioner Dcaver to Chicago Is responsible for the presence o Mr. White In this city. When Mr. Deavcr returned the other day he brought with hln the names of three Chicago officers who were to be considered for the position. These Included Chief White , Joe Klploy , who was for years the chief of the Chicago detective force , and Major McClaughry , who was chle of police of Chicago under Mayor Wash burne. burne.BETWEEN BETWEEN WHITE AND KII'LEY. Within the past day or two It has beet ascertained that Major McClaughry has nc ceptcd a position at the head of an casteri penal Institution , and the choice practically lies between White and Klpley. Mr. Klplo ; Is one of the best known police officers In the country. He was connected with tin Chicago police force In various capacitle : and was chief of detectives through nearly all the Cregler administration. The Omahi board Is still conducting negotiations wit ! him , and there Is a chance that ho may 1) ) selected. A St. Louis man , who Is warmly endorsed by Chief Harrlgan , Is also a camll date for the position , and will bo here In day or two to file his application. A dozen moro have applied for the position , but the four men mentioned are all that have re celved serious consideration. These hav now been sifted down to White and Klpley with the chances very much In favor of th former. Mr. White- has been chief of the secre service of the Milwaukee for fourteen years During that time he has been In charge o a force of from 100 to 200 men , with ovc 0,000 miles of track to cover. Ho has mad a national reputation as a crook catcher an Is rcgconlzed as ono of the best police olll cers In the west. In appearance ho Is calcu lated to find favor In the most critical eye Ho Is of medium height , compactly bull and Is unencumbered by superfluous flesh A light brown moustache droops over a de tcrmlned mouth , and his whole appearanc suggests a coolheaded and athletic person o somewhat less than 40 years. MAY HE SETTLED MONDAY NIGHT. Mayor Bemls said last night that th board had not as yet chosen a chief of police He admitted that It was very favorably 1m pressed with Mr. White , but thought that n election would be had before Monday n.'ght , and one or two other candidates were still under consideration. 3 Mr. Deaver seemed favorably Impressed with White , who , he said , was highly recom mended. Incidentally Mr. Deaver wished to deny most emphatically the fake that had been circulated In some quarters to the effect that a 1'lnkcrton man was being groomed for chief of police. There has been no time when any I'.nkerton man had even bson under consideration. Such a man would nat urally have an eye to the Interests of the I'lnkerton agency , as well as those of the city , and he did not consider It good policy to elect any employe of I'lnkerton. Mr. White , In conversation with a re porter , said he had been at the head of his department for fourteen years , the depart ment comprising the surveillance of about 6,000 miles of road. Ha headquarters are In Chicago. Ho returns there In all likeli hood today. "While I am not hunting for a position , " said Mrr White last evening , "of course , like all men , I am quite willing to better my condition If It appears such would bo accomplished by a change.

RECEIVERS JOIN THE CITY favor the roanoll'A Proposition for En largement of U'utnr MaliiN. It Is almost beyond doubt that the com mittee appointed by the city council to wait on Judge Dundy to secure an order for the enlargement of water mains will bo joined In Its request by Receivers Hunt and Iller- bower of the water works company. The committee had a meeting yesterday , at wnlch the receivers were by Invitation present , and the latter said that the proposition was In the main favored by tfiem. The plans for Improvement , as drawn ci by the city en gineer , were discussed , ami the receivers urged that the plans bo so modified by the omission of certain streets as to bring the estimate down to what will be duo from the city to the company July 1 for hydrant rental. This would bo $86,000. This sugges tion was accepted , and at a meeting this afternoon the modified specifications will bo submitted , and. It agreed to on all sides , the committee will then have an audience with the judge at his earliest convenience. In speaking of the effort now being made by the city council to prevail upon Judge Dundy to Issue an order that certain sums for hydrant rental shall bo expended by the receivers for the American Water Works company In enlarging mains In the business portion of the city , John L.

A body of citizens called on the county commissioners yesterday , representing the South Side Improvement club , and asked the county to tnko Immediate steps toward Im proving South Thirteenth street extended to the county line. General Mandcrson called the attention ot the commissioners to the excellence of such a route to Fort Crook as a driveway. The Douglas county end of the undertaking Is the big end ; Sarpy county will attend to the road In that county. Isaac Hascall wanted a road wide enough to take an electric line. John T. Clarke and John Rush stated that the right of way had already been practi cally secured. Judge Stenberg thought that It would re quire 85,000 yards of grading. This could bo done for $5,000. He thought Sarpy county should show a disposition to get a right of way. Commissioner Llvesey agreed on this point and Sutton , the only other commis sioner present , said ho was favorable to a roadway , but suggested waiting until the re turn of Jenkins from Hot Springs. l.ml of tlio llnr o Cars , The last relic of Omaha's pioneer street car service will disappear Sunday night when the Lnko street line will bo nban- doneil ami tlio horses In use Hold.
