Of a number of gentlemen who conversed upon the mat- ter with a BEE reporter yesterday there was not ons but expressed himaelf as of the opinion that the new order would work evil to the stock interasts of Omaka if allowed to remain in force very long. Said Mayor Boyd to a reporter who ked him his oplnion of the matter: ©So far a3 L can see, this ohange will work Injary to the Omaha stock yards, provided the B. & M. folks will ba prevented from shipping stock Into the clty, and suppose they will. Of course the Sloux Olty & Paclfic will lkewlse be prac- toally debarred from shipplng any stock through Omahs, but this will not mskea particla of differonce, Why? Because Omaha receives very little atock over the lines of the Northwestern sys- tem. To be sure, we get some from the the St. Paul branch, but from the Elk- horn Valley extension little or nothing. Frow tho Barilngton & Missourl, how- ever, Omaha receives considerablo stock, and o have that supply cut off by the operatton of thisorder will be & bad thing for the city, certalnly. If the order could be made to apply to all Nebrasks roade, 80 as to allow them to do through billing from westorn polnts to Chicago, with stop-over privileges in Omasha, then cortalnly the change would prove & great banefit to our city. Butsofar as 1 can see now the Union Pacific will sscure all the advantages to be reaped from the change,” A number of other stockmen expressed themselves 88 being of simllar views. General Mansger Holdrodge, of the Butliogton & Missourl, upon belng shown the order yesterday, sald that as at prezentadvised, he thought tha change would prove Injurlous to both Omaha acd the Burlington & Miseon:! road. It wonld provent hls roads, undoubtedly, frem sending livestock through Omaha at simllar rates as through Plattsmouth, General Frolght Agent Shelby, of the Uanton Pactfic, ssii that he ¢idn’t care to exprezs an extended oplnlon upon the subject of Commlssioner Faitorn's order until that gentleman notified him officlally of the change. He eaid, how- ever, that he was Inclined to think It would work a serlous Injury to the stock Interests of thisclty. The Unicn Pacific, he remarked, would not bs atall pleased with the chango bscause it wanted to do all 1t could to build up the stock Interest of Omaha, ARMY AFFAIRS, Tne Improvements at Fort Niobrara ~The RRosebud Agency Troublo— Other Matters, Gon, Dandy retusned yesterday from Fort Niobrara where he has been the past few days saperlntending the opening of bids for the construction of the new quar- tora ot that poat, The bld of Gaorgs H. Jowett of Sidney, $29,000, was found to be the lowest and the contract will doubt- less be ewarded to him. The appropria- tlon of congress for the work was’ $30,- 000 and the improvements contemplrted are the balldlng of three double sets of officara quarters, thres civalry barracks and three cavalry stables. The balance of tha appropriation, something like $1- 000, will be devoted to repairlng fences, walks, efc. When these Improvements are made this post will be one of the largest in the department, and certainly will be second to none In point cf cavalry ac- commodations, 83 ¢ 13 intended that thero shall bo six companica of cavalry permanently stationed there. The regi- mental headquarters of the Ninth cav- aley, of conrse, will bs removed from Fort McKinney to Fort Niobrara, The department forces ure being con- centrated on this one point to keep in check the 10000 restless, roving redsking who are located la the territory eurrounding Fort Nio- brara, ~While there are no anticipations of Immedlate trouble with the Indians, yot the department officera are of the opinion that it would ba best to have thelr forces 8o positloned that thay could be brought to bear upon a redskin upris. ing with the greatest speed and effect. As Gen. Dandy exprowsed it, ‘‘There are no present slgns of trouble in that quatter of the department, bat it 1s beat to be prepared,” EXCITEMENT SUBSIDING, Bpeaking of the excltement caused by the raping of a school-teacher by an In- diaz, near Valentine, Gen, Dandy sald tha flict between the whites and Indlans had subsided.

The e¢x- cltement has sincs died out, and 80 far & avy reporis received at the local head quarters are concerned, the gall'y ladian hes not been detected and punished, TRANSFERRING CAVALRY, Troops A, and G. of the Ninth cavalry Lave already b2en transferred from Cald tioned durlog the recent Indian panlo, to posts In the Dapartment of the Platte, This morning Troop “‘I” of the sime company, passed throogh Papiilion en route for Fort Niobrars, which will be resched about to-day or to-morrow.

RESUM NG LABOR. The Bricklayers Decide to Finish Work on the B, & M, Building. The members of the Bricklayers Unlon mat Tueaday night in K. of L. hall to dincuss the matter of resaming work on the B. & M. headquarters addition, It will be remembered that labor on this struoture came to an ond last woek when the bricklayers discovered that the stone which was belng put Into the butlding had beon cat by convict labor, having come from Jollet. The session was alongand heated one, nearly overy unlon bricklayer In the city bsing present, The moeting did notad- jousa untll after midnight, It was by a very close vote declZed that the bricklay- ers employed on the B, & M. bullding should finfsh the work on the structure, {nasmuch as tLe coatractore, Bailoy & Olsen had not oxdered the cut ntone, and knew nothing of its having beea brought from the Jolist peniteutiary. It was farther decided that a notles should at oucoe be lssued for the benefit of the con- traciora and architects of thls clty that hereafter no unlon bricklayers would work ov a building into which material wes belog put which had been farnished by convict Jabor. The question of con- vict labor was thoroughly discussed and tho union declded thatevery moans avatl- able should be used to deal with the evils of the eystem. The bricklayers will go to work upon the bullding to-day. It is eald that when work fs resumed, still other compllca- tlonn are apt to arise. The stone which is to go into the building will have to be trimmed, and the men balongiog to tho etonecattera union wiil not be allowed to do the work, a3 their conatitution strict- ly forbids their working on stone furn- ished by convict labor. If men are then procured to do the necagsiry trimming, the union threatens to declare them scabs and again order the bricklayera to quit work. The bricklayers will then be obiiged to yield, ns the stonecniters’ and bricklay- era’ uuions have & compact to stand by each other ia all cases. The bricklayers’ union has no convict labor clsuse In its constltution, and hence the willingness of the men to return to work., Ths object In agsin callrg the men out of the tuilding s stated by the stone- cuttera to b for the purposs of forcing the Burlington & Missoarl company to reject the stone already secored from Jollet: and replace it with new stone which has not been handled by convict Libor.

Governor Kellopg has jus’ ro: tarned from the east, and has visited ex- tensively in New York and Obhio, He gives 1t as his oplnlon, afier loking ovor the sltuation, that Ohio will certalnly be carrled by tho re: publizavs this fall. In New York the re- publicans party mansgersare confidant of success, The most available candidates for the governorehip aro considered to be Secrotary of State Carr or Mr. Drexel, while a few are urging Senator Evaris to atcapt the nominstion, - Ia regard to President Cleveland’s adminlstration, Mr. Kellogg suid: “‘The president has iojured himself greatly in Loulslana on account of his appointments, Ths party is divided and Cleveland has not h siiated to take sides in the matter, He has thus alienated from him that part of the party which has control of tae state patronage, and which is controlad by the state officars, His civil airvica rules have caused great diesatisfaction throughout the south, the niuion of all democrats in that eectlon oelng that @ clew sweep of the officas should ba made--tha republicans all turned out and democrats sabstituted. I belleve that if a national democratic convention was to be held in the next thirty days, Mr, Cloveland could not se- cure one-tenth of the delegates from the south.” Mr, Kellogg has not vhited Omaha for eome efght or nine years, and he expre:s- €8 surprise and plessure a) the growth aud prosperity of the clty. ekirmish Shots, The compatitors st the rifle range yes- terday morning were engsged in ekirmish fielng at 200, 800, and 500 yards range.

Helef: here last wook, 1t may be rememboted, golng to Philadelphia, and thence to New York, where he at. tended the Grant obsequles as a member of the senate commlttee appoluted by Vice President Hendrloks, “‘There was one thing remarkable about the faneral,” remarked Senator Mander. ron In the course of an Interesting talk upon the subjoect, ‘‘that was the wonder- fal stiliness which psrvaded the vast con- courss of prople who witnessed the fun- oral of Gen. Grant. There wera at least 1,600,000 people on the atreets, Including the speciators and the 50,000 men {n line. In all the throng, the most death.like silence was observed. Evi- dences of profound respect and honor for the memory of the dead soldler there were, but no demonstration of violent grlef., Twenty years ago I had the sad privilege of witnesslng the faneral pa- gonnt of Abraham Lincoln, The crowd then was vastly smaller than on the ocos- elon of Gon, Grant’s funeral, but tho ex- preesion of bitterest sorrow was very notloeable, Of course the violent man- ner of Lincoln’s death waa the occaston of a bltter grief, hardly to be caused by the demise of Gen. Grant.” ‘It 1y wond :rfal to note Into what close relatlons the faneral brought old soldiers of the blue and the gray,” continued the general, mustngly.

All war difforences seemsd to be wiped out, and incidents of the rebelllon were re- vived and discussed with great interest.” Speaking of the order of President Cleveland, ordering the taking down of fences from the public lands, Senator Manderson said that ke dldnot think that the cattle interests of this state would be serlously aff scted thereby. Tae new or- der he snid woald undoubtedly glve Ne- braska stockmen a chunce to buy cattlent very low pricos from the Cherokee strip of land. He was of the opinlon that national legislation ought to ellow tho Iands of each western siate and tersitory to e under supervislon of a commlsslon which should determine the lands which wero fit for settiing up, and throw them open for fmmigration, Those Jands not immedlately available for arable parpos- es, could bo used for ranch purposes on such terms that the le2so could be can- celled upon slx months notlce. Such a state of atfalra, he thought, would be ben- eficial not only to Nebraska, but to other cattlo grazing states and terrltorles in the west. Senator Manderson lesves to-day on a four wecks semi-official vistt of inspection to Utah, Montana and Idaho, and to the Yellowstone park, as a member of the senate commiitse on terrltories. ——— Burglars Bagged. Last evening Officar Turnbull arreated John Hacris, white, and William Wil- son, colored, for the burglary of tha store of R, Kalish, the Thirtesnth street tailor, on Monday night, Wilson was arrested while trying to dispose of some of the stolen goods. He stated that he had re- celved the goods from Harrls sand did_ pot know they were etolen. When Harris wes arrested, though, he gave tho whole thing away.
