ot consideration the house today passed- the
bankruptcy bill , reported by the house com-
nilttco on Judiciary as a substitute for the
NCROI ! : hill passed by the senate at the
rxtra session last summer. The bill Is
known ns the Henderson 'bill ' and contains
both voluntary ami Involuntary features. It
Is considered less drastic than the measure
passed by the last house by a vote of ID"
to 87. The involuntary feature , however
had but 10 majority. Today a motion to
Btrll ; out the involuntary feature- was de-
foatrd by a majority of 19 , and the bill was
passed by a majority of 31 , the vote stand

publicans voted against the bill and twelve
democrats for It. The populists , with one
exception , voted against It.
Todny thu bill was read for amendment
under the five-minute rulo. Under the
order made the final vote was to 'bo taken

over one-half of the business men of the
country bankrupts.
LACEV IS AGAINST IT.
Mr. Uacey ( rep. , In. ) said ho could not
glvo hla support to the involuntary features
of any bankruptcy law. ( Democratic ap
plause. )
The debate on this amendment proceeded
in a desultory manner.
Mr. Uallcy got the Iloor upon another un
important amendment , nod submitted brlefl >
come obsorvutlocs domilmg Ills position. He
was anxious , he said , na any member of the
house to see sn equitable bankruptcy law
placed upon the statute bookrf. But his
anxiety would not lead him to vote for a
measure which would Injure the solvent
moro than It would benefit the Insolvent.
Mr. Carjioii ( rep. , 111. ) created eomo en
thusiasm on the democratic side by an
nouncing that he would refuse to support
the bill.
Mr. Mahpny ( rep. , N. Y. ) offered an amend
ment limiting the operation of the act to
two years from the date ot Its passage. Mr.
Mahany said ho would bo glad to vote for
the bill If this amendment were adopted , but
ho was oppcaed to putting Into operation an
indefinite law of this character.
The vote on the motion was taken by tell
ers , and the tuiiouncement that It had car
ried 132 to l y was greeted with loud ap
plause.
'Mr. ' Henderson Immediately moved to re-
cooslder the vote and Mr. Ualley moved to
lay that motion on the table.
The motion to lay on the table Mr. Hen-
dorson'B motion to reconsider was lost , 14C
to 153.
When this vote was announced the hour
set for a vote. 4 o'clock , had passed.
UKCONSIUEHS ITS ACTION.
The motion to reconsider was put and car
ried without division and the vote was about
to bo taken agahi upon the Mahany amend
ment , when Mr. Dalzell made the point of
order that the order under which the house
was operating precluded any further action
except upon the Underwood amendments ,
which , under arrangement , were to be voted
upon at 4 o'clock.
This point of order the speaker sustained.
A Inturcstlng parliamentary Htruggle fol
lowed , In which Mr. Bailey. Mr. Williams
( dom. , MU . ) and the speaker took part ,
which finally resulted in the speaker's de
ciding that the house had reconsidered Its
action In regard to the Mahany amendment ,
and a vote upon It was now excluded by the
ordoj.
The Underwood amendments , which struck
out the Involuntary features of the bill ,
were than presented and voted on under the
order of the house. The amendments were
defeated 139 to 158. C
The vote then came up on mibstltuting the
Henderson bill for the senate or Nelson bill
and the motion prevailed 1G3 to 114.
Mr , Terry ( dem. , Ark. ) , the senior member
of the Judiciary committee , then moved to
recommit the bill with Instructions to strike
out all the involuntary features except
these or actual frauds ,
The motion to recommit was lost.
Mr. Terry Insisted upon an aye and nay
vote for the dual pnasago of the bill.
The bill vua r 'mcd 15S to 124.
Mr. Henderson ( rep. , la. ) , Hay ( rep. , N. Y. )

tinI'nrt Arthur lloittc
In Court ,
The Tort Arthur Route has wan an Im
portant concession from the lines which arc
said to have declared a boycott against It.
The Snnta Fo has given up Its share of the
fight and It was the Santa Fo that was
flrat and foremost In the war against the
new southern line. Said a prominent Omaha
freight man to The Bee : "If the Santa Fo
could not do better than lay down In Us
boycott against the Plttsburg & Oulf rail
road It won't take the other llnea very long
to follow suit. "
The Santa Fo road has just notified the
Southwestern Traffic association of Its with
drawal of Its notice of boycott against the
Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf railroad. Up
to date the oniclals of the Santa Fe have
Klvon no reason for their backward stop.
Among railroad men at St. Lauls , Kansas
City , as well as In Omaha , there Is but one
opinion , aiad that Is that the Snnta Fo pre
ferred that eomo other line should fight the
Injunction proceedings against a boycott rt >
ctntly Instituted In the federal courts by the
oillclals of the Port Arthur Route. The nc-
tlon of the Santa Fo In backing down when
the matter promised to come tate the federal
courts Is no surprise to Omaha railroad men ,
for they thought Vlco President Paul Morton
of the Santa Fo was trying to run a big
bluff from the very start of his boycott
against the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Guif
railroad.
A representative ot the latter line said
to The Dec : "This looks llko the beginning
of the end , for there Is mo thing sure If a
strong line llko the Santa Fo gets scared
and withdraws Its notice of boycott none
of the weaker lines arc going to have the
nerve to continue the fight against the Port
Arthur Honte. The Santa Fo went Into this
boycott with the knowledge and consent of
President Hlpley and Vlco President Paul
Morton , and I should think they would feel
proud at backing down now even before the
matter Is called up in the United States
court. I rather thought they would eland
by their attempted boycott until the courts
had passed on the matter. But there Is
nothing llko getting out from under a falling
wall. "
OTHER WAYS OF GETTING AT IT.
The assistant general freight agent of one
of the biggest Omaha lines said : "So Paul
Morton has lost his nerve. Ills backbone Is
supposed to be very strong , but It certainly
has weakened on the boycott proposition.
However , there Is more than one way of
killing a cat. "
General Freight Agent Crosby of the U.
& M. road said : "I have heard nothing
confirming this news. In fact , I have never
seen a copy of the so-called boycott notice.
It should be remembered , however , that
there are a numtcr of precedents formed by
the United States courts for a road's refus
ing dlvtelcns with any other line that comes
along. Because a road has certain divisions
with another road on a certain line of traffic-
is no argument that It bus to extend the
same divisions to every other line that seeka
It. The question of divisions Is entirely
different from that of rates. A road cannot
give a rate to one shipper , and refuse It to
another , but It la not bound to take Into
partnership with It every railroad that seeks
that partnership. A recent case la . the
federal court at New Orleans decided that.
Take one of our local wholesale firms. Be
cause It takes one man Into partnership , does
It have to take in every one that comes
along and asks to bo taken Into partnership ?
This question Is much the same. "
Before the Santa Fe dropped Its boycott
the Rock Island officials also appeared quite
confident that the boycott would accomplish
the results desired.
" \Ve are not trying to ruin the Port Ar
thur line , but to prevent It from ruining us , "
declared an official of the Rock Island road.
"It's claim that we ore boycotting it be
cause It would not join the Southwestern
Traffic association is not true. The reason
why the other roads now decline to cooperate
ate with It Is because It has never shown n
willingness to deal fairly with them. It has
persistently broken all agreements to main
tain rates and , In addition to Issuing new
tariff reducing rates. It has cut them
secretly. The court proceedings which It has
started against the Santa Fo road and
threatens against all others will , I antici
pate , develop some facts which will command
the attention of the .Interstate Commerce
commission. The Rock Island road will not
do business with the Port Arthur Route until
It agrees to maintain rates and act fairly.
Wo are satisfied that the courts will sustain
our position in refusing to continue traffic
relations with the Port Arthur Route. "

During the last few weeks a number ol
representatives of "largo car building firms
of the country have been In the city , seek
ing the large order that Is soon to bo
placed , and It is from1 them that the news
of the prospective addition to the equipment
of the "Overland Route" has been learned.
It Is understood that1 the contract for the
construction of the" COO new ears will be
given to some outside firm , but that a con
siderable number of other new cars will be
built at the Omaha shops.
For some time past the freight traffic
officials of the Union Pacific have been de
manding moro largo box cars for handling
shipments of grain and live stock. During
the heavy movement ot both of these classes
of freight last autumn the Union Pacific
was severely handicapped by Its short sup
ply of largo box cars. The new cars will
be of greater dimensions than any of those
now used on the Union Pacific , and as large
as any used In the west. They will bo built
for handling movements ot grain and live
stock especially.
See MIK11nli < > a Cut.
There was some consternation in local
passenger circles , caused by the deep cut
made Into transcontinental rates by the
Canadian Pacific. While everything has
been turned topsy-turvy by the slash the
lines through .here have not decided what
courao they will pursue to retain some of
the travel of prospective Klondlkers. Gen
eral Passenger and Ticket Agent Lomax of
the Union Pacific said to The Bee that the
situation was very bad , but that It was
too early to tell what could be done. Ho
said the cut was not entirely unexpected , as
rates through St. Paul had been demoralized
for some time. Should the roads through
there attempt to moet the cheap rates of
the See line to the northwest they would
have to put In a rate of about $3 to Port
land , a proposition that is not likely to pro-
vail.
New Union Pncllli : I'ny Cherki.
Checks of a new form are now being used
to pay bills of the reorganized Union Pacific
Railroad company. The now checks have
been issued within the last tow days and
show that a considerable part of the reorgan
ized company's banking business will here
after bo transacted with the Merchants' Na
tional bank of Omaha. Ilerotoforo the entire
banking business of the Union Pacific sys
tem bos tie en handled through the Omaha
National bank. The Union Pacific lias not
withdrawn Us account from the Omaha Na
tional bank , hut has merely diminished it.
President Murphy and Cashier Woodrf of the
Merchants' Notional bank said to a Dee re
porter that the Union Pacific Railroad com
pany had Just opened an account there , but
they could not tell what proportion ot the
new company's 'business their bank would
handle ,

The employes of the Union Pacific shops
are kept pretty busy , now-a-days with the-
Inrgo amount of rqpalaavork on band. Dur

the same number' of' hours they have put

that the number 0,5 , days per week will be
either Increased or decreased very soon , but
the number of hours per day will remain at

the future output of Klondike gold , It is
the formation of a gigantic pool or combine
to bo known as the Bonanza-Eldorado com
pany , capitalized at 1200,000.000 , which pro
poses to control mining operations in the
Klondike country. Mr , Scovlllo says It will

draulic power will be substituted for the
present expensive system , and the minor
who Is unable to work his claim success
fully will be given an oportunlty to sell
It to the trust or syndicate , who will work
It for him at a rate much cheaper than ho
could do It himself , The formation of the
syndicate , Mr. Scovlllo says , will have the
effect of reducing the output next spring
quite materially.

Within the last few days a number of
persons have narrowly escaped being killed
at the boulevard crossing and It Is said that
the railroad companies do not pay any at
tention to the agreement to have the crews
ling the trains at this crossing. This boule
vard Is used a great deal by oillclals of the
packing companies and commission men In
driving to and from tlilr places ot business
and within the last tow months a number
of accidents which might have proved fatal
have been barely averted. The boulevard
winds about In such a way that the track
cannot bo seen for any distance ahead on
account of bluffa and trains can approach
the crossing without being either seen or
heard. Not long ago the city council tcok
the matter up with the Interested railroads
and the latter agreed to have all trains
flagged , but It seems that no attention Is
now paid to the orders Issued and complaints
arc again being made to the city oillclals ,
The council will bo urged to Insist upon a
watchman being placed at the crossing In
order to prevent serious accidents during
lit- summer , when dozens of men drive along
the boulevard.

alfl - Women are apt to look upon

1 | 'l | " n matter of eentimcnt and af.
fection. That is jirelty neatIr
L . right ; yet there is a practical
i ' side to it too ; and the best way
to preserve the ideal aspect of
marriage and maternity is not
to forget the practical part of
it. A woman cannot be a thoroughly -
- oughly happy wife and mother
- unless the distinctive physical
- organism of her ccx is in a
- healthy mid vigorous condi-
. tion. The best friend that wo
man ever had is the " 1'avorito
