To-day three assistants to the execu- tive board were elected, morrow the re- maining three will be pat through. The three men elected to-day were Jerome Quinn, bookbinder, of New York; William H. Mul- len, printer, from Riehmond, Va., and Hugch Kavanaugh, shoeaker, of Cincinnati. The “pome clubs,” so called, of New York, are eredited with the election of Quinn. The delegates tonight made serious eharzes against some of the officials of the order and declared that General Master Workman Powderly was scheming for polit- feal honors, They said that Powderly wanted to be governor of Pennsylvania, and that he 'was conducting the order on Roman Catho- lic principles. Powderly to-night said: “We will leave this city after closing one of the most stc- cesstul meetings ever held, and all the money that the enemies of the Knights of Labor ean spend in an effort to break us up will be apent in vain, The events with which the home club Is charged with dealing transpired years ago. It they couspire ugainst me, then it seems to me that was the tiie to expose its workinzs, in order that I might guard myself against them. To bring it up now seems like holding a post mortem examination on a four year's corpse, as in the corpse of sucli an exposure they will find only dust. I have no political aspirations; wouldn’t ac- eept the nomination for governor of my state if it were tendered me unanimously. If were a candidate, however, would stay upon merits ' as a citizen, and not n my tion with the labor moven or my religion. The working men of this day aud generation are too intelligent to be deceived or prejudiced by any such silly trash. Still More Indictments.

How Everything Conspires to Defeat the Tarifr Rill WASHINGTON, June 2.—[Special Telegram to the Bex.]—The long delay of the house over the oleomargarine bill has caused Mor- rison a good deal of trouble. e sees in each day’s delay a new diiger for his tariff bill. The first days of sumuer are nere and the taritt bill seems about as far off as 1t did monthago, The butter bill, which promised to take no more than a day, took a week. Meantiime the apvropriation bills are waiting for action. Only one of them has yet been signed, and there is a_hopeless delay over some more of them. The tangle with regard to the subsidy clause of the postoftice appro- priation bill promses long and serious del “There is no telling how long this delay will be. The senate is stubborn, and the house will certainly never yield, The senate, too, is preparing a surprise for the house in the river and harbor bill. It Is probable that the house will searcely know the bill when it gets back from the scnate, All these things mean delay, and Morrison sees in thom trouble for his takiff bill. Yet he keeps up his courage, s ho is going to get it up before the session ends. I am confident we shall con- sider it,” he said: “there are a fcouple more appropriation bills yet to get out of the way, and then we shall vet abont it."” Do you think you will be able to pass it?” Fhat depends a good deal on the amount of diseussion it will have. 1 think its show for passage is pretty good.” WASHINGTON, June 2.—Senator Cutlom introduced in the senate a joint resolution proposing ithe following amendment to the constitution: Article XV, Section 1: "The only institu- tion or general contract of marringe within the United' States-or any place subject to thelr jurisdiction, shall be that of the union in marriage of one man with one woman, and bigamy or polygamy is forever prohibited, any law, cistom, Torm or ceremony, civil of religious, to the contrary notwithstanding.

Pat Hawes and His Tin Pail. Tuesday's Bee contained an account of the robbery of Mr. John ;. Nordgren, of Chapman, Neb., while he was en- route to Omaha. His loss consisted of $1,300 in notes and about $8,000 worth of railroad contracts and a gold Swatch and locket. He recovered his notes and papers yesterday uftor- noon in a peculiar manner. On Tuesday he placed the matter n the hands of Detective Neligh, stating that he did not want to pay any big money for his papers as he had been asked to do by parties in ponse to his advertise- ment in the Bek for the return of his papers. Detective Neligh told Nordgren to meet this party and make an appoint- ment for a conference at the Paxton hotel at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Nordgren —consented and arranged the proposed conference, the plan being for Neligh to shadow the ‘‘go- between,” who would be sent to confer with Mr. Nordgren, and thus locate the third. The plan falled, however, through Nordgren's over anxiety to secure pos- session of his papers. Just before the haur for the meeting Mr. Neligh disco ercd that a check had been drawn by Nordgren for $i and presented at the First National bank. He surmised at once that Nordgren had taken another belper into the case. As he neared the Paxton he saw Pat Q. Hawes ve the hotel and hold a conference with a man who was in waiting on the out- side. ~The two men disappeared, and in a few moments Hawes returned, carrying in his nd small tin dinner pail which he placod in_Nordgreen's possession and quickly retired from the scene. The tin pail con- Led the notes and railroad cont hwere stolen from Mr. Nordgren way to this city the other night ‘This hittle transaction had not atiracted the attention of the ests who were seated in the hotel rotunda and who were unmindful of the act that was going on until they were aroused by De- tective Neligh's impromptu address to Mr. Nordgren. Itis justsuch men as you and Pat Hawi at make crime possible in Omal id the detective £ you had kept your promise with me wé would have had the thief in jml by this time, but instead of that you are out your gold watch and $75, and the thief has been en- couraged to continue his work.” P. FORMD'S \LATEST. How The New Sboial Evil Ordinance Is Regarded. The action of 'the eity council in pass- ing an ordinagipe ,raising the mini- mum fine to be assessed upon the propri- and inmafes’ of sporting -houses , is at present a pretty general theme of conversation in police circles. The sentiment is 'thyt the brdinance, if signed, will never; bg “enforced, but that 1t will become at onee a dead letter. ‘And Mayor Boyft wlit stgn it. * At least 80 he announced to & reporter yesterday. He was not inclined to talk very freely about the matter, thongh from his conver- sation it was to be inferred that if the law were 1ot strictly enforced, he, for one, should lay the blame of the matter upon Marshal Cumming: *‘1 shall do everything in my power to enforce the new law,” said Judge Sten- berg of the police court, to a reporter. “But I do not think it can be made to work,” he added. “These wamen can never afford to pay $25 o month instead of $06, as at present.. The consequence is, that as cach case comes up 1t will be contested. Then the city will have to fall back upon actual proof, which in ever will amount to nothing. Then aguin, suppose we conld convict every one of the 175 or more fallen women of this city, what could we' do with them? There is no room for them in the city jail, and the connty jai rtainly cannot accommodate more than five or six of - them, cven if the county were inclin to bear the burden expen: No, sir, I tell vou the law can- not be enforced, and tie result, to my thinking, will be that these wonicn wil escape without paying any fine at all.” ‘Lhe marshal and captain. both. express Hhe same opinion.

The increased run of live stock to the stock yards, at South Omaha, and the prospect of a still heavier run later in the summer, has compelled the Union Stock Yards company to take steps toward extending the yards. To-day will fay out an addition on the eas side of the yards suflicient for at leas two thousand head of cattle. Work will be commenced at once and pushed for- ward rapidly se as to have it completed before the heavy run of range cattle sets in. The hog pens are taxed to their full est eapacity to accommordate the receipts W it s tile purpose of the company to extend thom also. The present capacity is between four and five thousand hogs, and the extension will be about the same size, or even Iarger, if the requirements mand it. The work on the hog pens will not begin until later in the season. Another scale house will be built so th: it will not be necessary to run cattl hogs over the same seales, which cause of a good deal of delay oh busv days. Other improvements and additions will foitow in the near future. The Weather of May. The monthly report of Signal Service Observer Pollock has just been 1ssued.

What Appsared to Be a Perfect Test of the Fanous Keely Motor. Philadelphia News: A suc of the Keely motur was made afternoon by John W. Keel ventor, 1n the presence of a sciontists, “capitalists and others were entirely unconneccted with Keely company. About 4 o’clock the in- ventor announced that he was ready to beginwork. “fhe machine with W?I is genorated tho power of enormouss crgy whieh he controls, lay dissected on a pedestal and- the bed of a Ilathe on which had been erected a ““No. 8" lever. Mr. Keely announced that he had taken apart the “hberator,” as he denominated his machine, in order that those present. might sce him build it up unconnected with any other ma- chinery except that for which it would be the motive power. He fulfilled his prom- ise. ~'When he had finished it was a ma- chine eiveular in form, standing ahout two feet high, weighing about seventy- five pounds, of which the most striking part scemed to be a circular metallie, resonant disk hanging suspended ove bed, around whose edge and connected therewith veere large d tuning forks. Surmounting it all was a sphe which was announced to hold a gill, whose outlet was controlled by a screw valvy Mr. Keely dipped into Ius secret so far as y that the power which he would ¢ was an inter-atomic, etherie force h permeated the mosphere and all" bodies in nee in the atmosphe: This he proposed to liberate and store up in esonating tubes' by means of the vibrations caused by striking the disk. with ynmer tipped with rubber and dr: A bow across the tuning forks. The intricacies of the meehanism and the “how'’ of the ‘iberation Mr. Keely kept to himself with the promise to make them known wi he shall have taken out his patent. The sphere on top of the liberator was con nected with a steel resonating tube by means of a drawn copper tube with an aperture of one-eighth of an inch. The resonating tube ‘was about eighteen inches long, twelve in circumference, with a three-inch bore and a eapaeity of Lwo pint. The violin bow was drawn across the tuning forks, the disk was hammered and the valve at the end of the resonating tube was opened. A puff of wi por, ac- companied by a hissing sound, annonnced that the inventor had “made connec- tion.” The resonating tube was then conceted with another one-eighth inch copper tube with a cylinder containing oil, which was connected with another cylinder in which moved a piston with one-half square inch of swface. The oil was intended to prevent the crystalli- zatign of the steel in the piston, which would follow the sudden impuact of the “force’’ upon it. The pressure was transmitted through the oi The piston was conneeted with an 'm at a pomt so near the fulcrum as to represent a leyerage of 15 to 1, It was announced that it required a pressure of 1,600 pounds to the square inch to raise the naked lever. Connec tion wus made, the lever flew up. Weights of 112, 56 _and 28 pounds were placed at the end. ‘These were raiscd with equal ease. A brief mathemautical caleulation will show that this repre- sented a prossure of 7,48 pounds to the sauare inch. These weights were re woved, and in their stead 4 solid iron ball wei hinr $50 pounds was raised by pulleyw toto piacis an the lever. The bolt and iron loop by whieb it was held i place represented five pounds additional. | T T e e —— e e T e e~ T In thirty seconds, including all manipu- lations of the liberator, the power to iso this was generated. The expert mathematician will show that this meant pressurs of 18,250 pounds to the square inch r. Hall, who had been the most per- it of those present in his questioning, »interrupted the exhibition and asked ary for you to draw the rross those tuning forks to gener- ate the power which raises that lever?" “‘Yes, sir,” replied Mr Keely. “You can't manipulate your machine 50 as to produce those results by doing you have done without fiddling on the ks?'" isted Dr. Hall. a wonderful power there,” id Dr. Hall, “but I ean’t got it out of my imagination that this tuning fork business is all humbug, pnt on for show, and that there 1s some other power stored in that ‘resonating’ tube which does the work." “If I am to be insulted in this manner, said Mr. Keely, *T will rofuse to go on with the entertainment.’ Mr. Charles Collier poured oil en the troubled waters, and Mr. Keely offered to take the tube and allow the ‘doctor to blow through it and extinguish a match held at tho other end. ““L challenge you or any one in the world,” continied Mr. Keely, *‘to put up inside of twenty years, forty years or a hundred years a machine showing a pressure trom any gas of 5,000 pounds. If any one does it I will pay his expenses.”’ The doctor expressed his satisfaction at the statement that everything would be told him except the seeret that alone makes the machinery valuable, and Mr. Keely proceeded to attach the resonating tube to a small cannon with a bore of one and three sixteenth inches. Three lenden balls were then driven throngh a door and flattened on an iron plate. Connee- tion was then established between tho resonating tubes, the original one having been re-enforced by three others to in- crease the power and the experimental engine. The connection was o success and the machinery worked smoothly as the most sanguine ted. Belts were put on and an endless belt was put in motion long enough to demonstrate the engine's practical utility. “Gentlemen, ” said Mr. Keely, “I have here tubes bottled see the air in motion precisely similar to the motion of a cyclone.” - For Political Reasons.

A Sudden Ohange in the Wheat Market to Batter Prices. THE CEREAL TAKES A BIG JUMP, The Market Goes Wild and Closes at A Strong Advance—A Day of Great Activity on *Change. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CutcAco, June %—(Special Telegram to the Bre. | —WuEAT—Wheat opened flat this morning and sold down %c as compared with yesterday's elose. Cables came in deo- pressed, and New York seemed sick. Soon, however, a change in sentiment was ex- perienced. Kuowing traders sniffed the air and deeided that something or somebody was getiing under wheat, and from surtace indications they concluded it was Cudahy and his immediate following. Then the In- telligence was circulated thut he had been & steady and heavy buyer since last Thursday and was now wiliing to let his nand be seen. "The first large purchases that were credited to this operator were for August and Sep- tember delivery, these options being consid- ered relatively cheaper than those antedating them. From the springing of this piece of bull news clear through to the end the tend ency of the market was upward. The ad- vance was strong and sharp, Reactions were few in number and_insignificant. The sliorts began making for cover, and alto- gether the change in the appearance of the market was little less than magical. Franey, Carter & Qo. were by all odds the largest buyers in tho open wheat pit, and orders from New York werg said to be numerous and for large amounts. The New York market followed the heels of Chi- cago. The course of the July option was as follows: Opening T4ije, then Tade, Ko, W, T, e, Wxe.
