For the aforesaid Charles Oscar be lieves that he has received a. call to defend ths people at the polls and unless those who are at present In the ascendancy po I tlcatly do that which ha believes ought to re done men ne will offer himself as a sacrifice. This Is all because the democrats in the J i y council took the obstructionist's end n' the occupation tax proposition Friday afternoon and decided upon Indefinite delay in disposing of it. This Is not In Una will) Mr. Lo neck's yiew and he comes out boldly and says that unless Mayor Dahlman de clares in favor of occupation taxes he will i do so and will make t campaign on that "I Tielreve that-way down In their hearts the members of the council are favorable to the passage of th occupation tax ordi nances." said Comptroller Lobeck, "but they should come right out in meeting and nay so. I think I understand why they counseled this delay, and that is because thry do not want Councilman Zlmman, the I ..MI.. l,. ,..,r,ll . n .1,. I 3 r .

'However, It make no difference whether I the ordinances afe backed by a republican or! not, thf y contain the right principle In I "my opinion and should by all ineana be Included In the party platform In the epilog. The occupation tax must be tn the platform, and If Mayor Dahlman wilt not put 'It there, I will, and will consent to become a candidate for th democratic I nomination for mayor on that on plank." Councilman Bridges, who with Council man Ztmtnnn signed most of the ordinances, declined to say whether the occupation tax principle would be Incorporated in the dem- Dcratlc platform or not, but that If It was put In the platform and the democrat we successful, at the polls men me ordinances wuia be passed. "Decause in party always ijiriiia its parages, as naa me present aa- ministration." he aald. The. statement of the councilman that the administration ha carried Out Its pledge Is not borne out' by the records, however. Two of the leading planks in the demo cratic platform of three years ago were the granting- of a franchise to the Independent Telephone company and th ordering of universal street car tranafers. Both of these were accomplished, but not by th democrats In the council. ItcpabHean Vote Was Vital. Ee en . votes, are necessary , to carry a measure in the council. Six votes for either' measure Wer all that th democrat could muster, when- the proposition were brought up In the council chamber, de spite th signing by each democratic can didate for the council of the platform pledging the enactment of both measures. The one republican vote mad th seventh which carried the measures. The universal transfer - ordinance was vetoed by the mayor, who also signed th platform pledging the enactment of the laiw, and eight voles were required to pass It over hla veto. Where this eighth vot wM to come from was a mystery until on republican member walked over to Coun . ctlman Jackson Of South Omaha In council meeurig. wucn lu uuvuu.c.. to that body by the executive, and shamed him Into voting for It by reading him th platform pledge nd the signature of th councilman at th bottom.

QUESTION Mtrvkaal . f rw York rrtlwt Anlt Arllna f tll faralaaa. NEW YORK, Jan. DO. An Important movement with reapect to the Japanese question In California waa Inaugurated to day at a meeting of the Board of TradVa transportation committee on foreign and In sular trade. It waa decided "to report to the board that the merchants of New York appeal to the merchants and manufacturers of all the other states to co-operate with them In Impressing upon the people of Cali fornia the unwisdom of persistent discrim ination against the people of Japan, who have shown themselves entitled to the re spect of the world at large, that Japan has proved Itself to be a great factor In the civilising and progressive Influences of the world, and whose trade Is of Importance to this country." The committee strongly deprecated tho agitation In California and expressed the fear that its conlinusnce will seriously st reet the amicable relations between Japan and the United States At the conference, which wss composed of tn committee and others Interested In the Japanese trade, were the General Elec tric company. Kuhn. Locb & Co., A. A. v,nlJri companVi the Natlon,i city bank. tha China and Japan Trading company and Muller, MacLean A Co. It waa pointed out that while Japan sells us 130,000,000 more annually than we sell Japan, It Is also true that tiie 1X9,000,000 of goods which It sells us consists almost entirely of rsw materials which are not produced In thia country " - 000.000 of aoods which we export to JaDan consists of manufactured articles, the prod ucts of our factories and workshops Trie committee feels that while the autonomy of the states should t zealously guarded no state should disregard th fact that international treaties constitute Vie highest law nor should they attempt to nullify auch treaties or do that which would Injure all the statea and- the union. The recommendations of this committee ""1 be presented to th board at the next meeting. Trlbate to Mr. aad Mrs. Caeaey. A remarkable demonstration in tribute to the memory of Arthur B.

Cheney reached New Tork on the steamer Venexia escorted by several thousand member of Italian societies, lomi of them In regalia and to the slow funeral music by military bands, the bodies of the consul and; his wife were conveyed up Broadway before a great multitude. A notable feature .of th procession was th fact that except for the police escort and the relatives of Mr. and Mra. Cheney, it was composed exclusively of Italtana. Baak Cashier aa Staad.

The storm of Thursday night and Friday has had the effect woefully of disarranging the mall schedules and hss Imposed a lot of extra work upon the railway mail clerks. Owing to the failure of the Minneapolis train No. 78 to arrive Thursday night with Its regular crew to look after the east bound mslt, a crew of 'Omaha clerks had to be sent out to look after that mall Fri day night. The same trouble occurred Saturday morning with the Rock Island train No. 8 from the eat, ai.d another Omaha railway mail crew had to be hur riedly Impressed Into service to car fof the east bound mall t n that train Saturday morning. The result has been to diminish the west bound railway mall crews, and most of the men who were taking their ordinary '.sty-offs for the cok have to do double duty until the eastern train condi tions become normal again.' t-i Postat Wire Still Off Watch.

"Let us leave off personal dissension, proceed to our business and in the sup port of our executive officers, whether It be Tom" Lewis or John Walker." Mr. Evans received hearty applause. lie had taken th floor In the midst of a speech by President Walker of the Illi nois district, to correct a statement that Mr. Walker had Imputed to him, th sens of which that he had told Mr. Walker that National President Lewis had unfolded to him a plan by which he expected to be able to coerc the representative ot the miners into, supporting the policy of th national president.

Presi dent Feehan ot tha Pittsburg dlatrict was the first anti-Lewla speaker.

MAYOR HOLDS PAYING CONTRACT Storm "rings Matters at Stork Yards and Parking: II on sea to m Prac tical Standstill Some Damage by Wind. The Rock Island depot at Twenty-foui til snd Wsshlngton streets In Albright burned about 4 p. m. Friday. The losa was total, amounting to about 8:1,600 on building and contents.

The South Omaha live stock market and, In fact the whole packing house district, was demoralised yesterdiiy on account of the storm. The receipts cf all kinds were light, and scarcely any attempt at a mar ket waa made. The commission men who had loads consigned felt uneasy. The i greater number of them enjoyed a holiday. gathered In th lobby and told stories about th storm they used to have when they were boys. Almost every one had a story of damage done about their homes during the night. Most of the cattle weie placed under cover to come on tho market this morning. The hogs were scarce and they were housed for the day In many cases. Of the- packers the Cudahy Packing company was ho heaviest loser from the ctects ot tiie storm. Two large slacks and one smaller one handicapped the plant so greatly by their fall that killing of hogs and cattle could not be carried on. One of the slacks fell so as to crlpplo the boilers of the pork department and broke in the room containing the water tanks and condensers. Mr. Murphy, tho general manager, aald the damage was slight and that all preparations were com plete for raising the stacks again this morning. Nothing could be done Friday except to prepare for the raising because of the wind which blew all day. The other packers suffered no loss which delayed them in any way. Y. M. C. A. Note.
