The meeting was the first held since away back in 1S95. While the club has not been having an active existence , It has o'lll lived , and the meeting was for the purpose of giving It a new lease of life , and also Incidentally to arrange means to wipe out a small Indebtedness. An assessment of $1 for each member was ordered , and a reso lution patsed in accordance with the provi sions of the constitution dropping all de linquent members.

In fact , In the Third ward , where Alderman Miller was defeated for renomlnatlon , ho i served notice on the caucus that he would I not i support the nonvlnce. An open fight Is the result , with the Miller forces to aid the republicans. Alderman Prod Hall was turned down In the Fourth and his frlcuda are angry.

Thcro has been a great lack of harmony between the various wheel clubs of the city during the past years. There have been petty bickerings and jealpusles , which have been greatly regretted by the wheel enthu siasts , who have had an eye single to the Interests of vv heeling and the clubs , but which have most successfully operated to keep the wheel clubs apart. Hvldences of this Ill-reeling , which , as a matter of fact. Is confined to but few , were very apparent last year , when the several attempts made to have joint runs almost without exception failed absolutely. It Is partly for the pur pose of lemovlng this lli-fceling and to bring the clubs Into touch that xho Turner Wheel club has , for some time past , been mik ing airangcmcnts for an Interclnb pool tournament , to bo held under Its auspices. It Is believed that by means of some such friendly contest , the members of the various clubs will be brought to ceo what good fel lows the majority of them really are. It Is hoped that the tournament will net In motion the harmony that will result In a number of successful Joint runs during the coming season. The details of the tournament were laid out at a meeting of the committee on ar rangements In the Turner club rooms yes terday afternoon. This committee Is at a pi'Oicnt composed of the following : Cox , Croxton and Llvesey , Omaha Wheel club : Spencer , Marsh and Hayes , Tom 1st Wheel club ; Kuehne , Wlndlieltn and Mine's , Turner Wheel club. Among other things the rule * for the tournament were decided upon. They are the set used In the professional tourneys. The games are to be twenty-five balls. Hach man on each team will ploy every other man on every other team entered. The scores will bo computed by percentage , the games not counting. The prize will be some sort of a club trophy , appropriate to the winning club. No individual prizes are to bo awarded. Three clubs have m far entered teams Omaha , Tourists nnd Turner. The list of entries Is as follows : Croxton , Flint and Michel , Omaha ; Spencer , Marsh and Howe , Tourist ; Gadko , Llndley and Johnson , Tur to ner. It Is expected that three other club. ? will enter. Two of these are almost as > - suied , the Thurston Hllley and the Omaha Guards Wheel clubs , These clubs have not yet held a meeting to consider the Invitation to compete. The Union Pacific Wheel club may also send a team The entries were to Jo have been closed on Saturday night , but In order to allow the three clubs to conic in ' the time 'was extended to next WednetiJay evening. The meeting ot the committee will decide when the tournament will begin The meeting will occur In the TourUt rooms. If all these six teams enter tome 240 games will have to be played. Tha contest will occur In the roon-a of the Omaha and Turner Wheel clubs , both of which are the PCEBCB- sera of good pool tables. The tournament will be brimful of Intercut as each of the clubs lias tried to select the beat pluycru In the membership and each man Is a hot player. Thu tournament will bo wound up by a i e\ joint entertainment of the clubt ] entered , | n 2 ? when the prize will be awarded. The fol lowing committee has already been appointed to arrange for this and to have It In'charge- Fred Kuehne , Turner Wheel club ; Tom Spencer , Tourist Wheel club ; and Croxton Omaha Whctl club.

In two weeks , from Thursday Iho present congress expires by limitation and from this time forward all things executive will have to give way to the appropriation bills , which mutt be passed before the final adjournment. Mr. Cannon , the chairman of the appropriations com mittee , pointed on to trie necessity for ex pedition. Although the house has dlspcscd of ten of the thirteen regular appropriation bills , two of the three which remain , the sundry civil and the general deficiency , are these containing the miscellaneous 'Items 'which provoke the most blLtcr criticism , both far their sli.s of omission and commission , It Is Into these two bills that the members seek to crowd appropriation which have been pigeon-hoird thioughout Iho session and heroic measures arc sometimes required to prevent them from being made the vehicle of carrying through appropriations and legis lation which the leaders have resolved to kill. The senate has usually made a practice of loading up these two bills , especially , and the contests between the two houses over them gcnurally prolonged until almost the hour of final adjournmct t. The tpfusal of these In control of legisla tion 'In the house to glvo time for the con sideration ! of public building bills , more than 100 of which have been favorably reported lln llb the committee , so angeled some of the members that they talked of trying to secure thwo appropriations In the sundry civil bill. Those who nro Interested In the river and hnrbor projects authorized by the last river and harbor Mil for which no provision Is made in the sundry civil , Including Wilming ton ' , Del , Kentucky river dams , two , and five o'a the Ohio , Oakland , Cal. , and Ynklma , Ore , are bristling with fight. The friends of the free homes bill , as amended by the senate , fiw would like to saddle this measure on the sun dry civil as the only means of icsurrect- lug it. OPPOSITION UNORGANIZED. There are other antagonisms , but the op position Is utterly unorganized and It has been decided by Speaker Reed and Mr. Can non , who are working like trojans to keep down appropriations , to try a coup tomorrow by which they expect to take advantage of the fact that tomorrow is suspension day and put ' through the bill under suspension of the niles. The rcncral debate on the measure closed yesterday and It the bill can be passed tomorrow under suspension It v 111 not only save the three lo live days which It would re quire to consider It under the five minute rule , but It would cut off the danger of amendments carrying 'ho large sums to which It would be subject If the members succeed In effecting a combination Acting on the supposltlomnhatahe bill will pass under suspension , the leaders have de cided to glvo tomorrow ami Tuesday evenings to private pension legislation. The three re maining contested election caseswill occupy the time until the naval appropriation bill la brought foiward toward the close of the week. As the session draws to ta close par- tUanshlp is cropping out , as It did yesterday , and there will probably bt some lively de bates. The preparation ofi the general de ficiency bill will be begun-tomorrow and bs ready eaily next week. The crowding toward the close will be greatly relieved by the rule which makes ! the last six days of the session suspension days. Thls > will enable thoaa in charge of the Imperative bills nnd confcrcence reports to secuje a 4'iect ' vote on any proposition with but twenty minutes de bate on a side. . ' _ , b SENATE FORECAST. , As much"of the present 'week as maybe -will be to the consideration necessarywill given up tion of appropriation bills by the senate , There has been no accumulation of these bills on the calendar and with only a little moro than two weeks of the session reiroln- Ing , It Is not Intended by the senate man- ' agcrs that there should be. They will Insist that the appropriations shall take precedence whenever they are ready tp proceed. The only appropriation now on the calendar Is that providing for the expens.es of the Indian service , but It Is expected the conference report on the legislative , executive and judi cial bill will be presented tomoirow , and that the bills making appioprlitioiib for the Dlstilct of Columbia and for fortifications will soon follow. It Is the purpose of Sen ator Pettlgrevv , who has charge of the In dian bill , to call It up Tuesday. It Is ex pected that several provisions In the bill will lead to animated debate , notably those piovldlug for the Introduction of tadlcal rc- foimcj lu Ind'an territory and for the dispo sition of the unalloted lands In the Uncom- paghro reservation in Utah. These are ques tions which have been before the senate In various forms on several occasions , and they have always excited more or less debate The legislative bill will not consume much time , for the reason that the house con ferees bavj conceded most of the senate amendments. Notice has been given that the Allen Pacific n.ilrcad resolution would bo called up by Scmtor Thurston during the morning hour tomorrow , and Senator Chandler has given notlco of a speech on bimetallism for the fume dote. Senator Lodge has secured unanimous agreement for a vote upon the acceptance of the conference report on the Immigration bill at 4 o'clock on Wednesday The vote on this bill will bo preceded by a debate of uncertain length. Some of the opposition to It has been relieved by the changes made In the last conference , but thcro are some w''o will oppose the bill , among them being Messrs. Carter and Gibson Senator Carter was not present on Wednes day , but It Is understood he will make no effort to break the agreement , though rc- gicttlng Its existence It Is Impossible to say how much time during the week will bo given up to the consideration of the arbitration treaty. But all the Indications are unfavorable to any prolonged discussion on this subject , and the chances now seem to bo that not to exceed ono or two moro sessions will be devoted It. It Is barely possible that It may not bo taken up asaln at all , but the probabil ities are that It will some time duilug the week bo formally postponed until after the 4th of March , If the appropriation bills and the arbitra tion treaty permit , Senator Hoar will call up the bankruptcy bill and make an effort secure a vote upon It " AV < * Him I'ONdil ClifuiKi-N.

MV hi1 vi'niisui3ii KIM. W. I * . Murrilj Defends Onialiii'M I'olU't * 1'oroe from ( hi * I'lilpll. Rev. W. P. Murray of the Hanscom Park Methodist church continued his .series of pul pit editorials upon the Omaha police last evening. "Reforming the Newspaper and the Police" was the topic. After devoting a few minutes to reporters , whom the minister does not , for -some reason , regard as his very best frlenda , he said : "Tho necessity for reform In police matters is no greater than a needed rufunn In the modern newspaper. The statements published In the nevvbraper of today are Inaccurate , Irrational and . misleading. An account which is pub lished with glaring headlines In one Issue , that account smirching the reputation ot an innocent citizen , Is often contradicted In the following edition. The press ot today Is too pione to .sensationalism , the reading is ' .m- pure and oftentimes unfit for the , poiursal of the young. Thus , In many of the allsged re forms inaugurated by the modern newspaper , the 'reform' Is for revenue only and the In terests which bervc the owner of the paper. " Speaking of the prizefight which took place lately near Sixteenth and Vlnton streets , he aid. "I can sec no reason why a newspaper bhould condemn a local affair so heartily and at the same time endorse by lengthy reticles pi'izo fighters of nctlcnal reputation , In one Issue of The Bee the police are condemned for not detecting and stopping a local affair , yet a well known prlye-flghter parses through the city on his way to a combat and ho Is accorded a column Interview I do not think such procedure coralstent. Ne'vs- papeis , appear to bo run mainly for money. Morality enters Into the question In a veiy slight degree " In scoring the newspapers of the day , Mr. Murray said that ono of the greatest abuses which existed In connection with the press was the lllppant and sacrilegious manner la which church affairs were treated. Time wno | when the church received the profound re spect of all , yet for nonu Inscrutable reason It was lion frequently held up to ridicule > upon the slightest pretext Rev. Mr. Murray said the newspaper "t'Mould ' be the great moulder of toclety , the censor of the people , " but he did not think these ends were properly attained In the | resent age. Speaking of the ! lot vclt- Puikhurst Inv ( litigations Into the bribery vvi Ich cxhtcd In the metropolitan police force of New York City , the pastor said 'There la probably no police system on earth nearer perfection than the Now York police force , yet the noble men who form ! t have been burlesqued , attacked and abuioJ without stint by the gicat metropolitan ( lollies of Ameilca'B metropolis. 7 he pres ent attack upon the Omaha police la along the ame lilies. While crime exists at all times , In our city aa well as abroad , I still think the local force has done efficient work. " The speaker In conclusion voiced tolmsolf as being strongly In favor of clorlng all salooiu > , gambling houceu and hoiisco of evil lesort , yet no puggcsllons ware made us to S the manner in which It should be accom plished. Ono tlili g te thought would bear Investigation , It was whether the bad cle ment of the city was not behind ! the present attempt of The Ilec to reform the ov Us of the police force. Ho ftlll Intended , however , to keep In line with the petition signed by himself and the thirty-two ministers praying that the present Board of Fire and Police Ccmmlseloners be kept In office. n ( 'ill III lIARRISBt'RO , Fob ll-Notlra of a 10 per cent reduction was posted by tile Penn sylvania Steel company to take effect to- rnoirow President Fe-lton nald bo hoped the condition ) ) would soon Improve HO im to warrant a restoration of the old wanes , [ [ Pt'nT CORKTBitiTUKVTfor tortnrlntr , dliHg. i'rliliii ; , bunilni ; , and caly ikln ana ciilp aic' * Itli lot ) oflinlr.
