of rates charged In Iowa and Nebraska
on a mileage basis and also a comparison
of the net earnings of the railroads of

ehow that with little more than halt the
mileage the Nebraska roads have made
approximately twice per mile more than
the Iowa roads.
The railroads In answering figures sub

LINCOLN, Feb. 14.-(Speclal Telegram.)
When the Douglas county delegation
got together on senate file No. 17, the
Omaha water bill, and agreed on all
points in controversy, and the came was
passed yesterday and sent to, the house
this morning, 'the senante drewa -long
breath of relief, but Senator Ollls of
Valler spoiled It nil this afternoon when.,0f the district' court ftere far" two and one
lie made a motion to recommit tho blll.i,if ,ivu tM urnir trh
for tho purpose of putting in an amend
ment allowing the South Omaha stock
yards to pump water for Its own use.
At once the fur began to fly. Ollls sup
ported his motion by saying tho bill was
a scheme put up to deprive the stock
yards of Its rights.
Saunders of Douglas denied any scheme
Intending to deprive the company ot any
right. Macfarland waxod eloquent and
said that were It not for the South
Omaha stock yards Omaha would be only
a llttlo hamlet without glory or pre. -
tlge. It was a foul plot to deprive tho 1
stoc kyards of Its right to pump Its own
watcr and was Intended to force that
corporation to buy Its water of the Water
company. Ho accused Saunders and
Dodge of drawing magnificent salaries
from the Omaha Water company, but
laer corrected himself by saying that
they had been drawing salaries.
Dodgo said ho wanted tho bill to re
main where It was and then If the gentle
men desired to make a fight for their
amendment let them go over to the house
and make the tight there. He said It
was true that Omaha had paid more for
its water plant than it was worth, but
as It had puid a big profit the first six
months of Its operation he was satisfied
and It they could continue to do so' they
would soon own other corporations In
Omaha from the profits made by the
water company.
Ollls said that when the bill was passed
Saunders said that the amendment would
protect the stock yards and now he ad
mitted that It would compel the stock
yards to buy the water of the city.
He wanted to know why the water
company was fighting the Union Stock
Yards: company and protecting tho First
National bank,
Hoagland of Lancaster thought that the
senate had heard enough and moved the
previous question. The vote was taken
on the motion to recommit the bill and

i MUX ICO CITY. Feb. 14.-F!ve days of
fighting in tho streets of the capttol, has,
In tho opinion of close observers, done
' moro to change the sentiment of Mexi
cans In regard to intervention than has
the whole two-yenr period of revolution.
' Months ago a quiet feeling began to
develop among a few of tho better class
of Mexicans in favor of outsldo asslwt
' ancc. but It found no public expression at
i that time. This sentiment has steadily
! grown, however, and tho events of tho
, last few days have strengthened it tre
, mendously.
The subject Is now frankly discussed
! by Americans and Mexicans nnd now
j frequently It is a Mexican citizen who
i expresses tho opinion publicly that the
United States or somo other power or
powers should Jointly Intervene.
In tho Colonla Juarez last night a
gathering of Mexican women of the bet-
! ter class made no secret of their desire
for Intervention. Their formal statement
of their feeling was as follows:
"We aro praying for tho end of our
country's troubles, even through Intcr
' ventlon."

postoffico has closed Its doors and many

ranks of tho teira army.
Sanltnrr Conditions Arvfol.
Tho city was in almost total darkness
throughout the night owing to the cutting
of the electric cables by shells. Today
i provisions of all kinds were scarcer than
ever and prices soared to unheard-of
prices. Robberies, burglaries and petty
crimes of all kinds are on the increase
owing to tho lack of police protection and
Illumination.
The disposition of garbage has become
a serious problem and tho changing
breezes bring homo to the people that tho
carcasses of hundreds of horses killed
during tho street fighting of the week
still lie In the gutters.
Foreigners -.of military experience who
havo carefully followed the operations in
connection with the Dlax- revolt, declared
today, thut In their, opinion X))az would bfc.
able to hold out indefinitely. "The gov
ernment has an almost Impossible task
In subduing Diaz cither with heavy guns
or by direct assault," declared ono mili
tary expert connected with the British
legation.
The rebels have ammunition enough to
continue the war for several days at
least They also have many more ma
chine guns than they have yet brought
into use. Their losses hitherto' have been

pears to be available for their cause.
Assault In Iuiprnctlcable.
Tho marksmanship of the rebel artillery
during ail tho fighting has been excellent
and their ability to sweep approaches to
their positions with machine guns makes
it appear inevitable that any attempt by
the Madero forces to rush the arsenal
would result In slaughter.
An attempt of this sort was made in
the last hour of last night's battle, when
a detachment of federals marched down
the streets towards the arsenal occupied
by the rebels and was repulsed with
heavy loss. It Is believed this expert
e.nse will cause General Iluerta to -i i.m,
don such tactics nnd confine future
operations to the bombardment ot the
rebel positions, with the consequent de
struction of neutral property and the
killing of more noncorpbatants.

yesterday's fighting further excited tho

third woman killed among tho foreign
residents. Mrs. Greenfield was a Cana

In many of the churches special serv
ices were held by the clergy for the
restoration of peace to the capital.
Thousands of refugees knelt In the old
edifices and Joined In the prayers, at
the same time trusting not a little to
the heavy walls for protection against
flying projectiles.
Diaz made preparations to contest
every Inch of the advance of the gov
ernment troops, as he Indicated he would
do In his reply to the president's ultima
tum. He told tho government that his
followers preferred to die nt their posts
rather than surrender. They would not
ask clemency.
Three minutes after S o'clock a con
vent, five blocks beyond the national
palace, was wrecked by a shell from a
rebel gun and 'a number of Its inmates
were killed.
Many shrapnel shells from the rebel
artillery fell around the cable office, tho
American club and other buildings In
that vicinity. Others reached their mark,
the national palace, at tho end of the
lino of streets.
Fire Is Contliiiinna.
Nothing of a spectacular nature c
curred during the morning's operations,
nor did the bombardment appear so ter
rifying as that of yesterday, although
the constant monotonous thunder of tro
cannon, punctuated by tho rattle of small
arm fire, left no doubt that both rides
were working grimly and doggedly.
Evidences of llfo on the streets except
that displayed by tho military, were lack
ing. Noncombatants huddled together In
their refuges, although some occasion
ally ran tho gauntlet of the danger zone
and were welcomed as couriers by those
wishing to learn about developments In
other quarters.
Few people, however, took these rislja
and when they did they crossed tho opsn
streets on tho run. Even the federal
troops within their own region of c.n
trol ran while crossing tho streets, s!uvo
the rebel outposts and sharpshooters were
scattered far beyond tho rebel lines and
concealed on the rooftops and made aiy
movement perilous.
