WEER SPENT 0N LABOR BILLS Knight's Regnlating Measnro and Cassett's Ooal Screen Scheme Diconssed, 1OWA HUMANITARIANS HAPPY. Wes Moines Cursed With Miserable Street Car Service—Leaders of the Late Mob Under Are rest—The Legislatnre. Two Labor Measures Laid Ou Dre Morses, lowa, March 25—[Special Welegram. ]—The past week at the legislature Bias been one of the liveliest of the session o far. Twoor three questions involving the xelations of capital and labor have been up or discussion, and have attracted a large at- tendance of interested parties, The Knight Bill, for the regulation of factories and other dnstitutions employing labor, brought manu- facturers and business men to time by the wcore. The special feature of the bill that ‘was most obrioxious was a provision lolding employers responsible for any accident that ight lappen to one of their workmen Rhirough the negligence of a fellow workman, According to this a careless workman might wmulet his employer in thousands of dollars damages, and inflict a burden of support upon &iim for all lus life. Many employers of labor said that if the bill should pass they would sell ont and leave the state. They raised such @ storm of indignation about the capital that the bill was sent flying back to the committee, there to slcep the sleep that knows no wak- ne, The Cassett bill, for weighing coal, was another measure that has excited the legisiature a good deal. It s a dema. goguic measure, prepared by men who had o expectation that it would pass, and who would probably not have advocated it if they #iad supposed it wonld. But it went through the house—nlmost any cheap legislative seens able to do that this year—and came to he senate with some prestige and a big @owling behind it. The democrats, attempt- &ng to make some political capital over it, supported it with loud protestations of spe- «@lal regard for the poor workingmen, while anost of the republicans, whobelieved that the employers of labor had some rights which ought to be respected, opposed the bill and ‘offered n practicable substitute. After two days of stump speaking, the Cassett bill was defented and the substitute was adopted by a striet party vote. THE INSANE HOSPITALS, ‘The friends of the Mount Pleasant asylum eel very happy to-day from the fact that the :wlqmum has granted an appropria- tion of $100000 for building an additional wing to their hospital. The bill passed both houses withonta dissenting vote, although two months ago it would mot lave Deen thougnt_possible that such amensure «could pass. The resultis largely due to the untiring efforts of the superintendent, Dr. Gilman, in setting forth the actual need of Ancreased accommodations for the insane. BHe s worked so faitnfully that the leg Fature did not dare go before the people aving neglected this urgent appeal for the aost unfortunate class of humanity. The ®ew wing at Mount Pleasant will accom- modate 200 additional patients. A mew cot- tage will probably be built at Independence toaccommodate 100 aaditional patients, and the legislature will undoubtedly pass an ap- Ppropriation to continue the work upon the new hospital now being built at Clarinda, although the latter project is meet- Ing with much opposition from some mern- bers who do not want to add a dollar to the present outstanding debt. But the general sentiment seems to be in favor of taking care ©f the humanities first, and let the debt take care of itsclf. POOR STR! CAR SERVICE. The people of this city are greatly excited wover the street cav question. It is notorious that they have the worst ear service of any down of this size in the United States. When Des Moines was really but a village, with no city improvements or appointments, a char- der was granted to a company to operate a street car line on any street in the city, with gractically no restrictions or limitations &yhateves. No thought was taken of the fu- fure, and o valuable franchise was given which the city would gladly given thousunds of dollars to recall many times @ince then. The company have maintained thatthis charter gave them exclusive rights #o the streets and allowed them to operato Mheir road as they plensed. So they have opened a narrow gauge track like a pumpkin iwine all over the city, and they have resur- mected some old hulks of horses for propellirg power that ought years ago to have passed 4nto a state of “innocuous desuctude,” and #his institution, with its ears ereepit #nail’s pace around the town, they call a street railtond. Whenever citizens are in a ry to go between two points o the line nd easily beat 0 conductors are afforded, and the sometimes stops his team in the mid- Mle of the street to go through the ear aud collect the fare, This outrageous service Mas been tolerated under the belief that the ity was bound up by this old franchise. “But the proprietor of the line went a step too Mar on Frday night by laying down two #trips of hoop iron on one of the newly paved @treats in the heart of the city so as to shut yout another company which he had heard awvas likely to be organized and fay a track ‘here. Tublic indignation knew no bounds, and if he had not prudently torn up his old dron it would have met destruction in n hurry atthe hands of excited eitizens, A public Indignation meeting was called, and the gouncil met in special session last ni plan some way of abrogating the pre ‘ehurter or compelling the pre operate a bread gauge first class line, RESULTS OF THE LIOT, ' The old saying, those who dance must Py the fiddler, 18 being contirmed by some gecent arrests, The wob had their fun a few weeks ago in breaking into jail and shooting @t deputy sherifls; yesterday one wan was srraigued and held on a charge of attempted amurder for connection with the fracas, and wartants are out for the nrrest of several ore, SATURDAY'S ASSEMULY PROCKED) . ‘The senate spent the forenoon, Saturday, n disscussing Chambers joint resolution for #n amendment to the constitution granting women the right to vote.

How Callan Lovingly Oaressed His Wife and Attempted Her Life While in His Brutal Embrace. HowAnn, Neb., March 2%.—[Special.]—A Iater report from the shooting near Lee T gives the particulars as follows: Callan had a quarrel with his family last Chiristmas and left them, and it is supposed went to Omaha, bat retnrmed the day of the shooting evidently with the express purpose of killing the family. He went to the hot and begged forgiveness of his wife, to which she consented. He then threw his arms around her neck in an affectionate manner and asked her if she wonld love him as of old, and before she had time to reply shot her through the side, the bullet going through. It came out nnder her arm, and dropped out of her sleeve. He beat her over the head with a club and then turned on the son and daughter, as related in the dispatches of Thursday. The boy knocked him down with a neckyoke and sccured the revolver and tried to shoot Oallan, but soon lost the pistol and called to his sister to bring his shotgun. When he had secured this he jumped back, drew a bead on Callan and said, “Hands up, old man, or off goes your head.” Callan obeyed, but soon wanted a chew of tobaceo, and asked to be allowed to get1t out of his pocket. The boy quietly asked him “why he did not think of that be- fore he put his hands up.” Yesterday he had an examination and was bound over under £3,000 bonds, but as he could not furnish bonds was returned to the calaboose. Public feeling against Callan is increasing hourly, and last night unknown parties fired over fifty shots with Winchesters into the caluboose, but none penetrated the walls. He was taken this forenoon to Kear- ney for safe keeping. Sentenced to Fifteen Years.

CnicAGo, March 28.—During the series of Sam Jones' revival meetings now in progress here many efforts have been made to induce the evangelist to re- nounce the wuse of tobacco, to which he has long been addicted. About a week ago his co-laborer Sam Small gave up smoking and burned his outfit. At the close of Rev. Jones' sermon to-night he electrified his immense audience by announcing he had followed the example of Rev, Small. In ex- planation he sald he had become convineed this habit was a stumbling block n the way of his success as an evangelist. }lnviux con- secrated himself to Christ, he would in the future permit no habit to detract hin from his work as an evangelist.

NEW OnLEANS, March 28.—[Special Tele- gram.]—A number of local magnates placed themselves in an extremely disagreeable posi- tion to-day. They had resolved themselves into a committee to receive Prince Angustus Leopaldo of Brazil, whom it had been an- nounced was aboard the training ship Almi- rante Bairroso, just arrived outside from South American ports. The committee pro- ceeded down the river th's morning and met the ship twenty milcs below the city. They went on board and speeches welcoming the princeand the officers of the vessel were made by Major Thrsckmorton, representing the United States army; Colonel Lavenden, rep- resenting the state of Louisiana; B. F. Jonas, representing the federal government; Major Guillotte, ~ representing the eity of New Orleans; Nat Wallace, rep- resenting the exchanges, and N, R. Ogden in a general address. Captain Luis Phillippi Saldanha Dagama, commander of the ship, responded to these nddresses in exceltent English, and the committee discovered that they had been all at sea regarding the nature of the visit, The captain expressed deep gratitude at the warmth of the reception, which he said was as vleasing as it was un- expected. He would report the courteous treatment his ship had received to the em- peror But. he added, he received the atten- tions shown as a complimentto the Brazilian flag and navy and notto Prince Augusto. The latter was not on a visit to this country as a representative of the royal family of Brazll, but simply as a midshipman in the Brazilian navy, and received the same treatment aboard the ship as the other middies. The captain was excecdingly polite, and treated the com- mitte with every courtesy. Champagne was opencd and some time spent in conversation with the visitors, but the captain’s remarks about the prince were too pointed to be other than embarrassiag. The crestfallen com- mittee are consoling themselves with the idea that Captain Saldanha would have expressed himself differently had he been using hi native tongue. Prince Augusto Is between 1Sand 19 years of age, and in appearance is a typical dude. o GOING TO P1ECES. The Western Freight Association Tot- tering on Its Last Legs. CnicaGo, March 27.—[Special Telegram.] ~There is a well fomnded belief in railroad circles that the Western Freight association is tottering on its last legs, and will soon share the fate of the Northwestern Traflic association. The affairs of the Western Freight association, which holds Omaha and Council Blaffs and Nebraska business, has in bad shape nearly ever since the asso- ation was formed, and the pooling agree- ment has not been carried out for several months, owing to the refu of the Milwau- kee & St. Paul to report its Omaha dressed beet traflic at tariff rates. The Missouri Pa- cifie, about two months ago, virtually with- drew from the association by refusing longer to report any business to the commissioner. This has prevented the evening up of the pool balances and thero is no chance of ever equalizing pool business. Several of the roads would have withdrawn from the association, and thus forced its col- lapse before now had it not been for the fear that such action would hasten the collapse of the Northwestern Traflic association, as near- 1y all the members of the latter pool are also members of the former. Now that the Northwestern Traffic assosiation has gone out of existence, it is the opinion that no- tices of withdrawal from the Western Freight association. which the Northwestern and sowe of the other roads have been anxious to give for some time, will be forthcoming within a few da Bl BLOODSHED IN BELGIUM.

THE BEE ADVANCES WACES Editor Rosewater Tells the Printers Some Plain Traths and Raises the Scale, HIS ADDRESS TO THE UNION. Greoted With Applanse and General Exptessions of Satisfaction—Fo- menters ot Tronble Kaocked Out—Encmies'Discomfited. Highest Printers’ Wages In the City. The regular meeting of Omaha Typographical Union No. 190, which took place at K. of P. hall yesterday afternoon, was largely attended. Quite a sensation was created by the appea ance of Mr. E. Rosewater, who desired to address the union with a view to defining the position of the Bee towards the ciety. After some routine business a mo- tion was carried to invite Mr. Roscwater into the hall. “I understand,” said Mr. Rosewater, “that your meeting will probably take ac- tion on the report of a eommitteo which called upon me about three wecks ago to ascertain whether 1 could be induced to discharge the nan-union yueii in our em- ploy and make the BEE o strictly union oftice. Although it be unusual for publishers to appesr in person before your society, I have thought it best do so in order that there may be no occasion for a m understanding on either side. The last trouble we had with your union w: brougnt about almost enfirely by a com- mittee which reported t T'had insulted and abused it members when they called onme. I challenge any printer, union or non-union, to cite u single instance where 1 have treated them otherwise than as gentlemen. The fact is, three printers, who claimed to represent the union, met me in the street, and while walking along asked some questions, which I po- litely answored. Before I reached the e, within 1 hour, my printers. acting on the report of this committee,had gone out on a strike. 1t is because 1 de- sire to avoid a_recurrence of such a con- troversy that I now propose to repeat to you what I already have said to the committee, on w! report you are about to take action. “‘You doubtless wlll remember the com- pact made between myself and your oflicers when union men resumed wor in our oflice. It was then and there agreed that all non-union men who wer then in our employ were to remain undi: turbed, but in the future whenever a vacaney occurred, it should be filled by a unionman. This agreement has been faithfully kept on our part. W, your committee called the othe there were six cases occupied by non-union printers. I was/ informed by the com- mittee that one of tHese men had been before the polite court charged with abusing his wifd and burmng his furni- ture. 1 agreed it once to have this man discharged. Tiiis pledge was carried info effect the -next.dag, and the vacant e filled by a unionman. Thatleft on] five non-union men at the cases, majority of them have applied for ad- mission to your unioy, with my approval, and if admitted will leave only two cases not filled by union' men, If rejected, these men will ¥emain in the office with the rest nntil they go voluntarily or are charged for !misconduct. It would her be decent nor'honorable for me to rge men who have been faithful employos and ‘haye“families dependen on them, without just cause. Thereis a principle involved in that which I cannot 1d even at a sacrifice. Up to this time the fomenters of trouble have been entirely outside of the BEE office. Not a_word of complaint has reached me from any man in our employ, and if any complaint was made, or cavse for complaint exists, it would be promptly righted. I am fully aware that the prime movers against ns are proprietors and employes of other news- yers, who cither have a fancied pe sonal grievance or a design to profit by a conflict between the Beg and the union. Every strike heretofore has been fo- mented against us by jealous competitors who are always ready to take advantage of anything they think would eripple the Bee.” Iam rchably informed that both the Herald and World have taken a deep interest m the welfare of our printers, and are ready to open their columns in their behalf the moment they strike. This is very gencrous on their part, but 1 have not yet heard of their proposing to open their “pocketbooks to maintain the men and their families while on th Idonot charge that Dr. Miller Richardson are personally engincering this scheme, but men who hold import- ant positions on the Herald have been ddentified with it. If I understand the objects of your union correctly it is not to break down one newspaper to help build up another. It is not for the pur- pose of wr y vengeance on any paper to gratify personal spite and malicc presume you always appreciato the sym- puthy which these new converts to the of labor express, but you have as uled to see that sympathy mate 80~ e never has yet been a yoluntary nee in the price of composition ani printers’ wages in Om excepting alone those made by th . Lvery tise made by the other papers las beeh a forced concession. It may be, at this time, very desirable for other papers to court the favors of working men for political ends, and it may seem neees for some of them to create trouble in « oflice in order to prolong tl own existenee. But they will presently an ovportunity to demonstrate how s core they are in their desire to improy the condition of their own employ For myself, and on behalf of the Ber will simply announce that from and after to-morrow the price of composition will sents per thousand for night work 2 s for day work.” closing ‘annguncement by M. Rosewater was greeted with lond ap- plause, as it is an advance in the scale of wages over former Prices of two cents per thousand, and lghds the wages of other papers and the union scalo by ltke amount. After he had retired from the room the greatest satisfaction was expressed by those present at the course he had taken.

News that a young lad had been shot by a drunken man on the bottoms and would probably die reached police head- ors about 8 o'clock last evening. n Cormick and Roundsman Mostyn immediately proceeded to the locality, taking with them Dr. Rebert in case a physician’s services should be needed “The report proved to be partially cor- rect, Charlie Christensen, a 14 year old boy living at the foot of Jones street, having been shot in the foot by a man named Aga Lenmark, The weavon with which the deed was done was a double-barrel shot gun, and both barrels had been dis charged, a number of large sized shot having taken effect in the boy’s foot. On examination, however, it was found that the wounds' were not serious, although several shot were deeply imbedded in the boy made as comfortable as possiblo Aga Lenmark, the man who did the shooting, was found by the officers and placed under arrest. He was very much intoxicated, and told conflicting " stories of how the accident oceurred. At first he d he took young Christensen for a dog and” shot at him Afterwards he asserted that he was shooting at a post which the boy was standing behind, and the latter happened to step out from his_shelter just as the gun was discharged. The police, how- ever, do not believe the man's story, as the post which he elaimed to be shooting at is not large enough to_shield the boy from the shot. People who live in that neighborhood also gave several dif: ferent versions of the affair, and the oflicers are of the opinion that it was an attempted murder, The matter will be closely inyestigated and probed to the bottom. After being Tocked up last night Lenmark became so stupefied from the effects of the liquor which he had drank that nothing could be learned from him in reference to the shooting.

AMUSEMENTS, The Magnificent Performance of the Mexican Typical Orchestra, The large audience which attended the conert of the Mexican Typical orchestra at the Boyd last evening, was enchanted. The performance was a surprise, in spite of the high expectations which had been indulged in, for a rarer musical treat has seldom been enjoyed by the Omaha pub- lie. Thero was lloflli"fi monotonous about the entertainment, the programme being omposed of a pleasing variety of instromental and voeal sclootions” ad- mirably arranged and delightfully exe- cuted, Part first was the key note of the entire evening, the ‘instru- mental numbers being rendered in a manner entirely beyond criticism, while the singing of Sta. Linda Bram: billa, which closed the part, was the most pleasing feature of the entertain- ment. Her “selection from “Traviata was certainly rendered in a_manner to merit the hearty encore which she re- coived. With a° soprano voice of hird- like clearness, sweet and powerful, which has been educated to the highest stand- ard, with technique faultless, the lady has few m‘uul and with two_exceptions is undoubtedly the superior of any vocalis! who has appearcd befo lic. In part second “Dinhora” was magnificent, and for an encore “The Last Rose of Summer'’ was sung to perfection in French. Singled out from other gems of the evening was the clarionet playing of Sr. % Galarza. In the solo, Vi Venice,”’ his execution was wonderful, the varied powers of the instrument being brought out to their fullest eapacity with an effect which was wonderful. The other numbers were rendered nlt- lessly and added greatly to the ple of thie evening. The Mexican Typical Orchestra is composed of the best talent sclec the musical organization which Orle hted the v Expos Some of the fe: of the entertainment given are unique but none the less enjoyable. This evening a second performance will be giyen at the Boyd, with a complete change of pro- gramme and will undoubtedly be wit- nessed by a erowded house.

THETHRIVING TOWN OF HOWARD t O1d in Energy and Grit—New Railroad: Howarp, Neb., March 24.—[Corre- spondence of the Bek.J—Ever since the first building was erected on the town site last October it has had a stoandy growth and now has a population of 200. There are two general merchandise stores, two drug stores, ove hardware store, two saloons, one bank, throe livery stables, three lumber yards, three hotels, a black smith shop, harness shop, jewelry shop, one lawyer, one physician, one clevator, two agricultural implement dealers, and one flouring mill with a capacity of sov- enty-five barrels per day. This is the present terminus of the Loup City branch of the Omaha & Republican Valley rail road, but the road is a ly graded to Loup City and the rails will soon be laid to that point. Gradings also being done on a branch running from here west into Custer county, king this a junction hoint. The railroad company has ercoted arge and commodions buildings, tanks, ete,, which are a credit to the city as well as to the company. The city is surrounded by a very fertile and productive country, which is settling up rapidly. Building has progressed stead- iy il w nter, and there are now some t| ty-five business buildings on the town site. There are also some fifteen business houses and dwellings to be erccted at once, There are scarcely any families in the town yet, owing to the fact that there no rooms or houses to be rented, By August it is estimated there will be 500 people here, and those will be of a bet- ter class than usually take up their resi- dence in new towns. Two churches and o large school house are to be built this spring. A hardware store and furniture store are needed, besides several other en- terprises that would be profitable. The business men are nearly all young, ener- getic and enterprising, and” the futur prospeets of the town are excellent. would adyise any one looking for a bu ness location to take a peep at the grow- ing city of Howard BiLLs. s 2 S CALIFORNIA'S NEW SENATOR.

Favorable Reports From the Strike Materially Aids Prices—Corn and Provisions Featureloss— Live Stock Report. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKE 3 Crrea March pecinl Teleg Wharar=The wheat deal on 'Chang |- to-day The mare ket started strong, there being many outside buying orders on the floor, while Cudahy and Linn were coverfng, and s is said, large buyers of wheat, It w ported that the winter wheat acieage Llinois had turned out a million less than last year, Wall street sent very large orders here, Schwartz & Dupee alone buying over 500,000 bushels for New York aud miost of the other houses with private wires were doing some buying early. The belief that the strike Wwas in & fair way of settlement also helped to make the feeling buoyant and prices wentup le. Cables came in contradictory, one set having the English market depressed with buyers waiting for supplies from south- ern Russia, while others declared that European buyers openly confessed they had to draw heavily on America’s surplus, and that they had already bought for May and June delivery. Bd Cottrell, a prominent New York operator, cabled from Paris that the wheat situation there indicated a better demand and “etter prices. When the mar ket seemed strongest, however, Ream began “plugging” the erowd, giving the boys all they wanted and more. The reappearance of the big professional as a bear was not reas- suring to small traders, and many of them shifted, believing a raid imminent. Many hung stubbornly around §2 cents for a time, but the faiiure of & small bank i France created a little flurry and prices sold off. The crowd finished its work early and waited for the bell to tap, prices ending only Iie above lnst night's close. Guessers on tho visible supply still put the docrease at about 1,000,000 bushels, but the weather is about all that could be desired. Bliss said to-night: ““Ihese spurts are not {he time to buy wheat; their foundations are more or less of a quick- sand nature and the entire structure tonples over betore it reaches far above ground. Still the number of ear lots is getting £o small they may cut some figure next wees.” OTiER MARKE rs—In corn and provisions the trade was so light that the pits were prae- tically empty all day. Both markets were quoted a trifle lower, but there was no life in either and not much is looked for until after April 1.
