WASHINGTON , Feb. C. The government
has decided to pay oft the first llenholdors
of the Kansas Pacific Hallroad company and
to ask for a postponement of the oile. No
data haa been fixed to which It will ask the
Bale to bo postponed , that matter being In
definite as jet.
Governor Hoadlcy was In consultation
with the attorney general today upon the
subject of foreclosure against the Kansas
Pacific railroad. It haa been decided by
the Department of Justice thit the gov
ernment will excrclso the power conferred
upon the president by the act of 1887 and
redeem the claims of the first mortgage
bondholder * upon the eastern and middle
divisions , respectively , and bccomo subrogated -
gated under the law to their rights. This
will make thu government the owner of
both the flr.U and second liens upon thcso
dlvlslonu of the road.
An application will bo made to Judge
Sanhorn at St. Ix > uls next Saturday for
Icavo to redeem , for a postponement of the
sale of the road which la now advertised
to take place on February 1C , 17 and 18 ,
and for the appointment of a receiver In the
government suit to operate the railroad for
benefit of Ha lines The prisc < it receiver- )
arc operating the road under thu suit of the
third mortgage bondholders , commonly
called the consolidated mortgage.
lly this means It in expected that the tm-
incdlatosale of the property will bo deferred
and that the government will ha\e more
opportunity to negotiate for a better price
than has been offered by the reorganiza
tion committee , which now < > ntroltj the first
moitgago , and in the meantime the benefits
of the profitable operation of the road , If
It continued tj ibe profitably managed , will ,
under the icco'vur appointed In the govern
ment suit , bo to the advantage of the gov
ernment by way of reduction of Its claim
Notices of the application to bo made next
Saturday li/ive been served by telegram upon
the reorganization committee , and upon the
counsel of the respective underlying mort-
Kagea Ample authority for th'u action on
the part of the government Is conferred toy
the act of March 3 , 1887 , which provides that
whenever In the opinion of the president It
shall 'bo ' < k'oined ne-ccs nry to the protection
of the go\oinnicnt's Interest In any of the
bind-nldod roads the Decretory of the treas
ha , ury Is required to redeem or otherwise clear
off the paramount lion or mortgage by piy-
In-j the sums lawfully duo out pf the treas
ury.
ury.Tho amount which will be necessary to
pay the first lion holders In this case Is
Romothlnic o\er $8,000.000 , the simo amount
which tro government would have been
compelled to pay them had It acquired title
undo- the pending Bile. The situation of the
government 'n regarded by Attorney Gen
eral Grlgrs who advised the present course ,
and other leading olflclnls , as greatly Im
proved t'loicby , and it la now expected that
Judge Sanborn , under the circumstances ,
will willingly conncnt to a postponement of
the sale for an Indefinite period , or at least
to a date sufficiently remote to allow the
government ample time In which to dispose
of Its Interests to the best advantage.

WASHINGTON , Feb. G. ( Special Tele
gram ) There In now no certainty that
Senator Allen's amendment to the Indian
hill approprlitlng $4fi,000 for on Indian con
gress will bo Attached to that appropriation
bill , some difficulty being experience ! In
Senator Allison's committee to harmonize
Interests antagonistic to the measure. As
a result of a talk had today with Senator
Allison , Senator Allen stated tonight that ho
bad positive assurances that the amendment
would be attached to the sundry civil bill.
Whllo this Is a concession of considerable
Importance , It Is thought hero that the fail
ure to place the amendment on the Indian
bill will greatly jeopardize Its chances of
getting through the house , as Chairman
Cannon of the house committee on appro
priations will be ono of the conferrccs on
the sundry civil bill , and ho Is known to bo
hostile to any Increase of appropriations at
this session. On the other baud If the
amendment goes on the Indian bill two of
the three house conferees , Sherman cf Nexv
York and Curtis of Kansas , it is believed ,
will vote with the senate conferees to keep
the amendment on the bill Senator Thurs-
ton will labor with the appioprlatlons com
mittee to place the amendment on the In
dian bill and may have to carry the light to
the floor of the senate , whore It is believed
enough votes 0111 be secured to attach the
amendment to the Indian bill.

Summer.
The thirty-first nnnlveisary of the Omnha
Turnveroln was celebrated In Turner hall
last night In a manner befitting ono ot the
oldest and most prominent Turner societies
In the nest. The capacity ot the hall WAS
overtaxed with the friends and woll-wlshera
of the solcty who assembled to the number
of BOO to do honor to the Turnvercln. The
first part of the program was devoted to
athletic numbers and an address by Claus
Conrad , the president of the Turnvoroln. The
evening was pleasantly concluded with danc-
InC.
After the overture by the orchestra , a
grand grouping of the different gymnasium
classes was given , showing the young nth-
| letcs off to advantage In a number of grace
ful and difficult figures. This was followed
by exercises on two storming boards by the
boys of the junior class and calisthenics by
girls of the same ago. Following numbers
wcro a wand drill by the active members
and Homo attractive club swinging by a class
of women and girls The juniors reappeared
In a fl.ig dclll and exercises on two horses.
The fencing section then gave an exhibition
of single stick work and the gvmtiasts ex
hibited with some high jumping and exer
cises on parallel bars. An attractive feature
was next Introduced by twelve young women ,
robed In Grecian costumes , all of whom
went through maneuvers with orange and
black hoops. The special event on the ath
letic program was then given by the first
division of athletes on the horizontal bar.
The work displayed not only the general
physical activity which Is the ambition of
fin German athlete but also a surprising
mastery of difficult feats , as for Instance
when two joung men went around the pole ,
two at a time , In the giant swing with ap
parent caso.
WORK TOR EXPOSITION.
The address of the president of the so
ciety was directed moro especially toward
the present and future of the turnvcreln ,
rather than with the history of the past.
Mr. Conrad , speaking In German , appealed
to the Germans of Omaha to lend tholr ac-
tlvo assistance to the Transmlsslsslppl turn-
fist to bo held In Omaha the week ending
July 1. He described the pioposcd progiam
of the session which will hold Us meetings
In Ilascalt's park. The attention of Ger
mans was also directed to the tourney day ot
thi > exposition , when teams are expected
from all over the west to contest In athletic
events. Mr. Conrad spoke of the great Im
provement of the work done In the gym
nasium classes since the arrival of the now
Instructor , W. G. Rotzer. The membership
has Increased to about 150 In all divisions ,
not Including 100 young women from the
Omaha High school who have availed thcm-
sehes of the offer of the use of the gym
nasium. Ho also commended the progress
which has been made In the German and
diawlng classes. Mention was m do of the
work wfilDh has been accomplished by the
Turner Ladles' society , which has been the
main assistance of the society in planning
for the lecoptlon ot visiting Tuincrs and in
other lines of work. Mr. Conrad then ipoke
of the grand tournament which has been
p'anncd ' for M.rch 21 to show the public the
progress which has been made in gymnas
tics , calisthenics , etc.
HISTORY OF THE SOCIETY.
The history of the Omaha Turnveroln
shows an Interesting development during the
loot thlrty-"ono years and Involves the names
ot nearly every well known German citizen
who has made this city his homo Philip
Andres , who came hero from New York as
the first ph > steal director of the society and
who Is now the oldcHt turner In the west ,
described the organization of the ibody to a
party of younger members last night. Ho
nald that It was faunded In 18fi7 by about
twenty-two men , of whom the following are
the only survivors : Fred Motz , sr. , Fred
Krug. Charles Karbach , Charles Belndorf ,
sr. , John Boumcr and Aaron Cahn. There
had been a similar society previous to the
war which had been broken up at the com1-
incncomont ot hostilities , the .brother of
John IJaumer leading a company of German
citizens In answer to the president's call.
The first hall owned by the society was lo
cated at Tenth and' ' Howard streets and was
for fourteen years the center of the German
society of the city. The present quarters
have been occupied for about the same por-
led of time. The society now numbers about
300 members and has eomo to bo moie liberal
in Its qualifications for admission. It Is no
longer necessary for an applicant to bo of
German birth and over throe-fourths of the
present members are American feorn. One
of the rules of the society , how-over , Is that
all members shall > bo citizens of the United
States and their Gorman partisanship Is al
lowed In no way to Interfere with their du
ties af American citizens
The state supreme court had banded down
a decision in the Omaha Gas company in
junction case dissolving the injunction
brought by J. C Sharp and others. Tilts Is
a decided victory for the gas company and
It Is expected now that the trenches on N
street which have become an cyo-soro will
bo filled.
Two gas companies are now In the field
for South Omaha patronage and a lively
time may bo looked forward to In connec
tion with the lighting problem. While the
Omaha company is allowed by the terms of
Its franchise to charge J1.50 for gas , the
South Omaha company can charge only $1
per 1,000 foot. No doubt competition will
bo brisk between the lighting companies as
thu electric light company does not Intend
to bo left behind. Now machinery Is being
placed In position at tbo electric light plant
which will greatly Increase the olllclcncy
of the service and other Improvements be
sides thoao now being made are contem
plated ,
It Is claimed that the passage of the
ordinance granting a franchise to the Omaha
Gas company was Irregular and steps may
bo taken by Interested parties to bring this
matter to the attention o. the courts In
order to keep out a foreign corporation ,
.fiver slnco this frar.chlso was granted last
summer there has been more or less talk
about the Irregularity of the proceedings
and some city ofllclals assort that In their
opinion the ordinance will not hold In court ,
W D Wyman , one of the members of the
local gas company , said yesterday that the
decUlon of the supreme court would make
no difference with the plans of the com
pany ho was Interested In. "Wo propose , "
said Mr. Wjmon , "to go right ahead and
put In our plant add sell gas for heating and
lighting purposes for $1 per 1,000 cubic feet "

The western passenger rate war , which
threatened to be the worst that has crossed
the Missouri river in many years , died
before it was born. In its embryonic con
dition It caused an much excitement as any
thing that has happened along In railway
circles In recent years. The first signs of it
were dlscornoJ about a week ago. On Friday
they wcco so boldly In sight that a blind man
could not help but see them. On Saturday
afternoon they had all disappeared , and the
threatened era of cheap rides was a matter
only to be remembered by the thorough man
ner In which It had perturbed passenger
circles.
The Rock Island and the Santa Fo railroads
old the Burlington and the Northwestern-
Union Pacific railroads that If they persisted
In putting on tholr fast trains today the Rock
Island and the Santa Fo would make cheaper
rates on western business. The Burlington
and the Northwestern-Union Pacific rallccads
just cal'ed ' flio bluff , and said they would
make the same rates. As a result there was
a hasty conference of the officials of all four
lines In Chicago yesterday , and after the
mooting It was announced la regard to the
cheap rates that were to go Into effect today
that "tho stuff's off. " And this Is why the
ratea of SI I between Omaha and Denver , of
$24 60 between Chicago and Denver and ol
$20.50 betwcou St. Louis and Denver that
were to have been offeicd to the dear public
on and after today have be n ' .icld up , at
least for the present The cheap rates will
not go Into effect because the Hock Island
and the Santa Fo have agreed to refrain
from putting In differential tales A truce
has hecti declared , and until the executive
officers of the four belligerent lines can as
semble to talk the matter over the regular
rates will prevail The executive session
Hill probably be held In Chicago this week.

CHICAGO , Fob C Judge Brown of the
circuit cowl today sustained a demurrer to
tbo declaration In the case of William F Mc
Donald , a switchman , who sued the Illinois
Central Railroad company and the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company for alleged
blacklisting. The case Is ono of thirty-four
which were begun against the railroad com
panies In Juno , 1890 , and Is similar In 1th
details to the Ketcham case. In which a ver
dict ot { 20,000 was set aside a few weeks ago ,
Judge Drown held that the declaration did
not show any Illegal act and took the position
that the railroad company could make rules
for Its own protection just as much as the
mon bad the rlgb't to Land together , The case

Ux | > n a dying striker and was Joined by a
man named Costello While they weio tryIng -
Ing to aid the man , deputy named Alfred
Hess came up , and Costello with great In
dignation said It was n scandalous pleco of
work the deputies had done , whereupon Hcsa
replied , "You shut up or I will treat jou
the same way. " The defense objected to this
reference to Hess and the evidence wan
stricken out.
The next witness , one of the most Im
portant of those to bo heard on behalf of
the commonwealth , was John Hgler , secre
tary of the llarnocd unloa of the United
Mine Workers. Ho told how , on tht > night
before the shooting , a meeting Lad been held

streets , and m the sheriff and deputies wait
away and wo ir.archorl on to Littlmer "
The w Unfit said that at Lattlmer he again
told the sheriff they were not armed and
would behave thcir.tielvrs. The sheriff
pulled a couple of men out of the ranks anil
drew his rexolxor and witness saw him try
ing to shoot nno of the strikers. The re
volver did not explode , however cod then a
crowd formed around the sheriff At thli
tlmo there was a shot and then three or four
nhots , and at last a volley Wltmss fell
down between two mm , but did not think
the deputies wore abutting bill cartridge
until he MWI ono of the nuin b'l'edlng ' Then
