Felix Otto Schuster, governor ot the Union Dank of London, was a visitor in Omaha for about an hour yesterday. He arrived here in company with J. C. Well ing, vice president of tho Illinois .Central, the trip being made here from Chicago in Mr. Welllug's prlvato car. In waiting here was the Dclleclare, tho privato car of Pres ident Jeffery ot the Denver & Rio Grande railroad. This was attached to the Union Pacific's faHt mall and Mr. Schuster went west In company with Superintendent Dax ter ot the Union Pacific. The object ot Mr. Schuster's visit in this country Is said to be pleasure. His posi tion with the Union Dank of London has no exact counterpart In the banking system of this country. He docs not have the, active part in the management of tho business which is conferred on the president ot an American bank, but more authority Is con nected with his post. He stands somo whero betweon the president and the chair man ot -the executive committee Bllzttire of ticrmnn and HrltUh. Mr. Schuster Is a German but strongly Dritlsh In his senttmentB and present afllll atlons. In the financial world he Is one of the leaders and bis visit through the west Is considered of considerable importance- by moneyed men who have been entertaining him elaborately. Several days were spent In Chicago, where many entertainments were given by the bankers In bis honor. From Omaha he went to Denver and after a short stop will proceed to San Francisco, whero be expects to remain a week and then return east. "Wo havo had a big war," said Mr. Schuster, "but we can stand It all right. Thero le no danger ot our credit," and tho banker laughed at the reports that hnvo been spread In this country concerning the financial condition of England. "We could stand It all right it we had to borrow ten million more. The interest would still be perfecly safe. You can say to your people that we are still safe, despite the reports which have been circulated. Ill First Trip Wrt. "This Is my first trip west of Chicago and I am very much Interested In every thing I see. The conditions of business; You know better than I do as far as this country Is concerned, but they appear to be very good. I have been delighted with everything I have seen and am enjoying my trip vtry much. "No, there Is no special significance to this trip. I urn merely out for pleasure and wanted to see this part of the country. I stopped in Chicago for a very delightful time and now go west to Denver and then to San Francisco, after which I will return east and homo again." Mortality Statistic.

RIGHT OF POSSESSION IS DISPUTED City Itcfnea to (,'rant Removal Per mit nnil Tenant Try to Stove In by Force, While llurlr Gnnrili Hold Them Uack. The site of the proposed auditorium has turned into a llttlo Cherokee strip. A crowd of tenants Is standing along Jackson street ready to make a rush fur the vacant bouses, and burly guards are waving the ctowds back. The gates to tho yard's are nailed up aud great placards on tho trees bear .the warning: ' This Is the Property of the Auditorium Company. No Trespassing. Two of tho houses aro occupied nnd would-bo tenants are eagerly waiting for un opportunity to establish themselves In the other four houses. Every time tho guards fall back, tho houso hunters surge Into the yards in spite of the warning on the trees, and It takes a vigorous flourishing of clubs to oust them. I(mv the Strife Started. All the strife was brought about by the sale of the houses to E. J. Sullivan as agent for Paul W. Horbach. After $700 had been paid for the houses the city refused to grant permits to move the buildings Into tho north part of tho city. The contract called for the removal ot the bouses by April 10. The owner couldn't move them. The Auditorium company Is said to. have kept one of the bouses in its possetslon. Violations ot contract arc charged by all persons concerned. ' Whlto and colored tennnts or waving rent receipts In the faces of tho guards and ure trying to forco an entrance into tho houses, and the Auditorium company is keeking to discover what right Sullivan has to rent the houses whllo they are on tho company's ground.

Snlllvnn Uiplalna, "The Audltorlifm company has no right to keep me from renting tho houses," said E. J. Sullivan In discussing the squabble. "Tbey can bring nctlon to force the build ings from the ground, but that Is a slow way . to accomplish anything. If tho mem bers of tho company will UBe their influenco to get us permits to movo the buildings the trouble can soon bo settled. The opposition to the moving of tho houses probably camo from tho street car company, which does not llko to have Its wires Interfered with." "I'm out ot the fight and don't know much about It." said F. E. Sanborn, presi dent of the Auditorium company, "Tho out come of it will probably bo that Horbach will be permitted to move his buildings to vacant ground he owns Just south of the auditorium site.
