Special telegram to the Bz, LoxDON, May 3 —After comstant fluctua- tions during the week, from hope to some- thing like deepair, Englishmen to-day think that peace is rather more likely than war, The same cheerfulness provails in the chief continental capitals, It iffieult to say what solid baris exists for this belief. The emperor has adopted and applauded Koma- roff’s aggressive action, To submit it to arbi- tration would be to present himeelf asa cul- prit to a foreign tribunal. Dieclosure of the fact that the English cablnst had proposed arbitration surprised the country. The an- nouncement has been coldly received. Arbi- bitration is not even popular here in any case and is distrusted especially where the point of honor is involved. The people think such a proposals is a curlous sequel to Gladstone’s nificont speech in removing the vote of credlton Monday and tho unanimous adop- tion by the house of commons without one word of debate of the propesal which every body felt meant war, That speech neverthe less was_cortawnly designed to vropare the public mind for arbitration. (ladstone’s sin- ularly radical tone, contrasied sharply with £is provious reference to Penjdeh in spirit. But both here and abroad opinion agreed that he meant to avoid irritating languags, to leave the responsibility for breaking peace wholly with Russia. Few speeches delivered in our time have echoed through Europe as has this speech of Mr. Gladtaone, None have been more generally applauded in Logland and on the continent for ability, for splendor, for eleva- tion of sentiment, and for honorable regard for peacs and morality and the highest Eng- lish and European interests, WALES AND THE IRISH, Tho safe_return of the princs and the princess of Walos from Ireland put an end to the three weeks anxiety deeply felt in private though little discussed in public, The visit is here r.garded in all points as » success, It leaves the political eituation uncl red, as the nationalist papers claim, but it is generally conceded that all classes joined heartily in the welcome, The presence of the ‘prinw elicitod lurprhmr demonstra- tions of 'Fanonnl regard and loyalty to the crown, The real objact of the journey, ssy the prince’s friends, was finally attained, Associated Press.

Sgecial Telegram to the Bix. Onicaco, May 2.—To a reporter last night General Manager Callaway, of the Union Pacific, said his company proposes to stand by the tripartite compact. *If the North- western falled to report 1t Nebraska business to the pool before next Tuesday,” said Calla- way, “oothing remains to be done excapt to formally deolare that the Northwestern has forfeited its membership in the association, and will no longer be allowed to divide the pooled business with the other roads.” Unless the Northwestern changes ite mind before next Tuesday and ngrees to report its Nebraska business » serious fight will no doubt ensue that will prevent the restoration of rates for some time to ¢ me. Inthat event itis quite likely the Northwestern will have to fight alone, as ths Bucliogton is under stood to be willivg to enter into an agreement with the tripartite combination if the lutter makes proper conceesions, and it is_ claimed these concessions will be made. The reason for this attitude of the Hur- ligton is that it* is as anxious to prevent the construction of new lines into Nebraska as is the Union Pacific, having just as much at stake. It has become convinced that the covstruction if a new line throuzh Nebraska by the Northwestern would surely resultin the conatructionof other lines through Nebraska, of the tripartite combination was broken up, and for this reason, it is clamed, it is willing to recognize the tripartite combi- nation, which it hus heretofore refused to do, and make sach srrangements with it, as will secure maintenancs of fair rates —————— RATES FURTHER REDUCED, MILITARY oF CALLOWAY'S DETERMINATION CAUSES SURPRISE —A GBAVE SITUATION, Special telegram to Thk BEg. CHicao, May 3,—-The interview with Gen- eral Manager Calloway of the Union Pacific railroad, setting forth the company's position in regard to the tripartite contract caused somewhat of a sensation in railroad circles, It has heretofore been the genoral impression that the Union Hacific was lukewarm in 1its adherance to the tripartive contract and would be glad to got out of 1t, It was tho first defi- nite information that the Union Pacific was as fully determined to adhere to the repartite agreement and have it faithfully carried out as were the Rock Tsland, and the Milwaukee & St Panl ronds. There is no longer any doubt that the tripartite sgreement will be carried out regar dleas of what action the Northwest- ern may take, That the latter is also deter- mined to adhere to its position and will re. fuse to 1eport its Nebrasks earnings is equally certain, Under thess circomstances a speedy settlement of the Western and the North- western wars cennot be looked for as the Northwestern is sure to make a determed fight against the tripartite lines as soon a8 it is torced out of the combination, Arbitrators will probably meet next Tues. day to take action against” the Northwestern for refusing to comply with their de that it must report its Nobraska businee the pool within thirty days from April 5, Under the rules the arbitrators cannot do otherwise than declare the Northwestern to have forfieited its membershipin the combina- tion, A meeting of general managers of the weatern and northwestern lines to be held at Commissioner Carman’s office to-morrow, will probably adjourn without takiog action, Vice-Prest.

Criticism as sharp as that uttered by Eustice has been current for some time among democrats in their private at- tacks and unless the president begins at an early day to find places for those in quest of them the eolo of Bustin will swell nto a_cho- rus of many voices. Those who are publicly professing to depreciate Eustis' boldness of speech, privately commend him and express the belief that it will have a very good effect _ on the President by showing him that his failure to immedi- ately turn over offices to the democrats will assuredly create a division in his party in con- gress and formidable opppsitton to his admin- fstration. Those who are pursecuting offices are quiescent now because they are con- strained to remain so in the hope that their partisan services will be acknowledged by the Destowal upon them of federal power and pat- ronave, While the president’s delay and apparent indifference to their claims has caused them to have some doubts, they are still hopeful of the results, But should appear that the offices are not to be distrib- uted according to the expectation of the dem- ocratic party the recent declaration of Mr. Eustis will be supplemented by folminations that can not fail to be very interesting read- ing, Kome of the removals are worthy of notise: James Hill, for instance, a noted colored man of Mississippi, who has been internal revenue collector for some years was romoved on the ground that he was an offensive partisan and an active leader aud organizer of republicans. He probably was a terror to the democrats of Copiah county which is 1o that internal revenuo district.

A LINCOLN DENTIST TREATED TO BULLETS AND A DIRK BLADR, Speclal to Tue Be, LincoLy, May 8,—About 10 o'clock to-day people In the vicinity of Q and Eleventh streets, while on their way to church, were startled by a pistol shot and cries of help which came from the dental rooms of J, M, Lucas over Harley's durg store. Dr. Rey- nolds was the firet man to enter the room, but he was followed by Policeman Kelly, who promptly arrested the creator of the disturb anco—n man who gave his name as J, I, Davis. When Reynolds went in he found Davis with a lone dirk knife in his hand and Lucas covered with blood streaming from no less than nine cuts which had been made by the weapon, Lucas, the man whose life was sought, had a revolver in one hand, while witfi the other he grasped the knife-hand of of his asssilaut, Dayis, the would-ba murderer, was con- veyed to jsil at oucs, and Lucw 'was given the attention of three or four physicians, The prisoner, Davis, is & man some 40 ye f age, and for three years pact has been on & farm near Bennett in the south piet the county.
