FIFTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA, MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 7, 18%6. NUMBER 303 ON THE EVE OF THE BATTLE, The Irish Home Rule Bill On the Very Verge of Defeat, ONLY A FORLORN HOPE LEFT. The Government Ceases in Its Efforts to Secure Recruits to Support the Second Reading—A Dismal Outlook. Ircland Not Yet Free. Loxvay, Junc 6.—[Special Cablegram to the Bir.)—The division Monday on the sec- ond reading of the home rule bill will show the largest vole ever recorded in the house of commons. It is estimated that, if there are no abstainers from voting, 650 members will pass letters, Sir Henry F. Ponsonby. private secretary to the queen, telegraphs her majesty at Balworal nightly the way matters stand. “The leaders of the home rule branch of the radieals have informed Mr. Arnold Worley, the government whip, that further prosel ing efforts among the wavering radicals are useless. They say nothing more ean be done to heal the breach in the party, and they be- lieve certain defeat awaits the bill. They therefore recommend that the government stand its ground, and make no more futile concessions, The rumor is gaining ground that Glad- stone will advise the queen to postpone the dissolution of parliament on the pretext of “necessary legislation,” the object being to securcthe passage of the amended registra- tion bill, the effeet of which would be to re- duce the time of residence required for tenant franchise from a year to six months, or perhaps three months, ~ This would result certainly in a large extension of the suffrage, and would certainly be favorable to the Jiberal cause. Gladstoncites welcome this course if it can be made feasible, They see otner advantages in it besides their ultimate reinforcement at tne hustings, for they consider that in the additional time it would give them th could cerfainly convert the country to the home rule doctrines. al<o entertain the hope Wt by averting dissolution on the present divided party lines, the chances of reuniting their factions will be inereased. ‘The argu- went advnced against the cotrse nanied is the difficulty of getting the measure passed without a long controversy and the absolute certainty that it would” be rejected by the house of lords, even if passed by the com- mons, The defeat of the second reading is to- night regarded by almost everyone as a fore- gone conclusion. Some few friends of the measure hope Gladstone may, by one of his wonderfully effective spee bring ove suflicient number of weak-knceded ~ oppon- ents with a rush at the last moment to create i bare wajority for the bill, but this is the forlorn hope. ” All the betting is about five to four against the suceess bf the government, which would indicate about twenty majority for the opposition. Al thoughts now turn to the probabili of a new gencral eleetion, which is regard s certain to be ordered at no distant day, whatever slight postponement there may bo arising from minor party ngencies. The' r orts of election agents are growing | Lopetul as to the prospect of defeating ¢ stoneites by unionist eandidates. e duke of Westminster has given all ~hi Derby winnings by Ormonde to the libe union election” fund, adding thereto a large sum from his private purse.

Fletener, liberal mem- ber for Chippenham, will ask ' Gladstone on Monday whether the government will incor- it proyisions for the self-government of Fiiand, Wales and Scotland in the Trish home rule bill_which lie proposes to intro- \ce next autumn, or bring in separate bills coyering such provisions.

The result of to day’s meetings at political headquarters shows that there is little hope that the heme rule bill will pass, although many ministeri- alists claim that Gludstone's reply to Commoner Moulton’s letter has secured more waverers, On the other hand, My abouchere, who has been conducting nego tintions with the malcontents, has thrown up the sponge.

I1is advice is not required in the management of our concerns, Whetler he misrepresented Salisbury or not, we do not know or care,” - NOT ENOUGH BLOOD, h Statesman Who Be More Beheadings, Panis, June 6.—[Special Cablegram to the Brk |—The radicals are displuying the atnfost rancor over the question of the ex- pulsion of the princes, The Due De Roche foucauld, during a debate on the measure, made an earnest appeal to the honor and humanity of the country, He recatled the ificant fact that during the revolution citizens were wenaced with coufiscation of Abeir property if they left France and were behsaded if they remained.

Loxpox, June 5—The Standard, discus sing the fisheries dispute, says: “We have no doubt Bayvard will avold precipitate and offensive action relating to the fisheries con- troversy. Centainly there is no desire in London and we believe, none in Washing- ton, to have the two interested nations in- volved in a quarrel over a rather trifling dis- pute between Atlantic fishermen. However, while the treaty of 1518 remains, Canadians have a perfect right to demand Its abserv. ance. It is mot to be supposed that the Canadians will hold valuable rights without — some _equivalent.

Riot at the Funeral, Brrrast, June 6.—The funeral of Curren, the young man who lost his life by drowning during the r t Orange-Catholie riot, took place today. ‘The body was followed to the cemetery by a procession of 20,000 Catholics. ~ A body of Orang pelted stones at the procession, « tholies in retaliation made an_ assault on tle Orange- men and drove them away. A number of shots were fired, one man_was stabbed, and several persons were cut upon the head. Finally the police sueceeded in restoring order. THE L ROCK ISLAND EXT INSIONS Let for the | Miles of Road. CrrcAco,June 5. —|[Special Telegram to the BrE.]—The Rock Island company has just leta contract for the construction of the first forty miles of its new Chieago, Kansas & Nebraska line. The road runs from St. Joe, Mo, in a southwesterly direction to Kansas City, and _is ultimately to be oxtended through Indian Territory to Texas. Another line is to run due west from St. Joseph. mid- way between the B. & M. and Union Pacific railways, besides the torty miles for the con- struction of which the contract lias just been let. No definite arrangements as to the exact location of the line has vet been made. Several routes have been surveyed, and its location will be determined according to the d voted by the various sections through which the road is to run. The line south- vest from St Joseph, Mo., through nsas, Indian territory and the Panhandle ot Texas will be the most important on will pass through the heart of the best w regions in Kansas, and will tap the mar o which the largest broom corn manuf urers in the United States come annually for tielr supplids. 1t will pass through a vast on where cribs of corn_cannot without er facilities be gotte out of the way of the growing erop and through a highly culti- vated region devoted to general fariing and stock ralsing. Close on the border of this ronte enfers the heart of the great Texas cattle fattening grounds, which will _be brought nearer to market by this route than can possibly be done by any other. It s the opinion that the new road will be paying property from the beginning. T'he intention of the Atehison company . to extend its road from the Missourl river to Chicago is no doubt due in a great measure to the construe- tion of a competing line west by the Rock Isiand, Contracts rst Forty Funeral of Ho New Yok, June 5.

A Nebraska Statesman Expresses Himself Torcibly on the U. P, Extension Bill. J. STERLING MORTON'S OPINION. He Propounds Many Questions and Says He Will Believe the Bill Good When Old Wolves Nurse Lambs. Morton's Strong Talk.. WasHiNC oy, Jun Special Telegram to the Brk.|—Hon. J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, was one of the interested ob- servers e rather exeiting controversy in the louse Saturday afternoon over the Union Pacific bond extension bill. Your corre- spondent met the governor to-day and asked him what he thought ot the bill, and he ex- pressed himself as follows; “If the security given the people by the Thurman act can not secure governmental safety as to final pay- ment, it is certain that the pending Charles Francis Adams bill will not. The latter, it lived up to, will result in the public treasury receiving $740,000 wore than it s insured under the Thurman act. There is now a renort fronm the same commiittee in the house, alleging all _sorts ot crookedness in Union Pacifie affairs, as charged by experts and declared by the commissioner” of rail- roads, and this same report asks and insists upon a thorough inyestigation of the alleged fraudulent tinancial transactions of the Union cific company. It proposes to tind out whether there has been, us charged, a fraudulent issue of stocks and_bonds by this corporation amounting to several million doliars, Butif the extension bill is passed, of what avail is the investigation ? After horses are stolen, of what Kood is locking the barn? What securities on branch lines are proposed to be given by ion Pacific company? Every dollar ot ailable assets is already ‘spouted.’” Has it not from various banks tiis day loans_on such securities aggregating more than $16,- 000,0002 Are not these securities ‘staked” for all they are worth? Every cent; and if the Union cifie company has a single dollar in good securitiespunpledged for borrowed 1mo- ney, what are they? Where are the 1ts books show more; ‘This bill is born_ahead of its time. of the United States debt matures twelye years, and if the road cannot that the Thurman act requires it to can it, in good faith, None until ay all 0w ropose to pay”in the next two or three years more money to be applied_on the principal and interesg by twice over, than the present law provides for its pavin, I am asked, and the people of Southern. Nebraska, whom this railroad has “buncoed™ out of millions of dollars by re- fusing to receive their freight at Kearney Junction on a pro rata basis from the railroad system of southern Nebraska, are to have such credulity as to believe t this bill, brought here by Union Pa Iroad attorneys,” urged by its lobby, advo- its paid agents, is_merely to protect the zovernment of the United States solely to secure the people against robbery. For one, 1 shall have have faith when I see old wolves nursing lambs and cats guarding homeless canary birds, From the day when Ames distributed his Credit Mobil stoak, and fertilized the growth of Blaine and Gar ax statesmanship thereby, there so rottenly devised bill as this bill is inall its parts and in all its pur- poses. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, did splendidly in elucidating the error of legislating first and investigating afterwards. He was ably aided by General Weaver of lowa, and the vet objeetor, Holman, as usual, was on the s of right,'and in flie only test vote adjournment—Morrison, " Holman, Springer, Randall, and the gallant Henley, of Califor- nia, all voted together against the bill. It is seemingly dead now, as it should be, until fter an investigation'is made, If the charges against the road are disproved, then if the public interest is to be observed, it will be time enough to determine whether additional legislation is requisite to seeure the govern- ment from further plundering by the same virates, ‘1 notice all the republicans voted—if they voted Il—for the bill. 1Itis a bill to con- tinue in_power the republican party in all trans-Missouri states and territorics, No democrat who is truly against plutocracy can, in my judgment, honestly vote for this meas- ure.’ THE WE — K IN WALL STREET.

New Yonk, June 6.—[Speeial Telegram to the Bie.)—The week’s record is one which ean bedeseribed as a long angle for suckers, but the bites have been so few that some of the fishermen begin to show signs of fatigue, The Chicago party has industriously manip- ulated the market all the week, hoping to en- tice the bear public to come in and get rich, There is little doubt but the present rise in prices s fictitious. Good things will doubt- Tess come out of the movement and the » ket become fairly active, as good values are wholly a Chicago creature.

There has been spasms of bear movements, but the market has shown a wonderful absorbing ability, which can he traced to the conviction already noted.

In portions of Dakota and Min- nesota where drouth was seriously threaten- ing the grain fields as indicated in the pre- ceding weekly report, there has been some rain, but in many sections of Wisconsin, Towa, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota and Dakota considerable damage has already re- sulted and the drouth is still unbroken, " The most serious injury which has resulted thus far is contin to oats and flax, but the general spring wheat = pros- pects have alread: been blighted in consequence. Detailed reports from Min- nesota show the average condition of grow- ing spring wheat has been lowered from 10 to 15 per cent during the first fifteen days, In “Dodge connty the reports indicate not to ex- ceed 50 per cent of an average crop of wheat.

A Money Making Scheme. WasiiNaroy, June 6.—|Special Telegram to the Bre.]—Tnere is nothing very alarm- ing about the argument made by Judge Fal lerton before the honse war claims commit- tee favoring the assumption by the general government of the confederate states debts when the real objec! of the movement is un- of derstood, ‘lhe face value of confederate bonds now held in London, ris, Frankfort and other continental cities will brob- ably aggrezate $20,000,000. The owvnel of these bonds hit upon the clever wlan of ridding themselves of their own worthless seeurities, They formed a syndieate, and agreed to spend a few thousand dollars fighting their elaims be- fore congress, They employed Judge Fuller- ton to repfesent them, and in furtherance ot this scheme he appeared before the commit- tee. Itisnot expected for an instant that the committee will regard the proposition with favor, but this is a matter ot secondary consideration. The idea is to show the peo- ple of England, France and Germany that the American congress is actually entertaining a proposition to pay rebel debts, and this, it is expected, will give the bonds a fictitious value; small, it is true, but large enough to enable the present holders to un- load, if not with profit, at least without loss 10 themselves.

He has steadily believed that his acts have been so righteous that the people would sustain him, but that there will be trouble made for him is the way 1t looks now WHY GARLAND WASN'T THERE. Along with the flood of gossip concerning the president’s marriage, forty "reasons are assigned why Attorney General Garland did not attend the Dblissful event. Two stand out in most plausible relief—that he has re- tired from society events, and that he is op- posed to wearing a dress suit. I am_told by and lings the best authority that the real veason is that he has long been out of soclety and has pledged never to it. Hehas even refused to attend stag dinners and whist and poker parties, where the erowd was mixed, Decause they partook of society events. NOT FOR A I NCE. During the past week a_good deal of ner- voushess has beei evineed by the politichins on account of renewed rumors that the presi dent intends to take up his residence at his country piaceas soon as congress adjourns. “The uneasy rolks say that out in the couniry he would ot be accessible {0 the general pub- lie. but would he at the merey of cranks, and that he would be in_dangerof the Guitean school of villainy. it 15 pretty safe to say that Mr. Cleveland wili not live in the coui- try at any time during his ineumbeney of the presidential oflice. So the purehase of the country place can wwount to nothing more than speeulation.

WASHING June 5.—[Special to Bee. J—Senator and Vice President Pro Tempore Sherman has taken a leap towards opposition to ex-confederate soldiers holding positions under the republican senate, For many years, through the majority of repub- licans and democrats alike in the senate, a number of men who fought under the stars and bars have Lield positions in the senate. There is what is known as the “minority representation” in the senate, by which the party having a minority of represensatives there has held about one-fifth of the unim- the portant - committeo chairmanships — and about the same number of sub- ordinate nositions generally, A short thne azo o man by the name of Whitten, an_Indianian, came here, and as an ex-union soldier asked for a position of some kind in the senate, He wis told that there werenone for hini, that they were all full, He looked whout and found i number of places filled by ex-confederates, and hie began to demand their removal, At tirst no attention was paid to him, but he was per- sistent, and commenced o draw the line on individual senators, and individually they had to endorse kis demand. He ceeded insecu a letter from Senatg man 1o the serzeant-at-arms, recomm appointment, and stating that if (h place yacanta vacancy can be and should be wnade by the removal of an ex-conféderate, 1t looks as though this would be the entering wedge by which the minority representation system would be overthrown.

NEBRASKA Crvy, yuno 5.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bre.J—Duke Simpson, late county treasurer, was placed in the county jail thils morning, vetween the hours of 2 and 3, and took preaktast at the Morton in charge Deputy Sheriff Huberlees, At 10 o'elock he was takenbefore Connty Judee Mapes, plead not guilty to the charge of embezzle- ment and waived a preliminary hearing, * 1le was placed under $15,000 bail fo appear at the next term of the district court.

The impression now is, either that Simpson had contederates, or that there Was some person persous exacting hush money from liim, or else that he had a good part of what he made off the county salted down, Tt seems impossible for aman not noted for wild extravagance or bad ubits of any kind that take money, to have gotten away with §50.000 more than his salary in two years time: this, in addition to what be had When lie took the oflice, claimea by him to be no small amount “The Press says: “No one seems to think that ex-T'reasuver Simpson has been of taking and aevoting to his own the money that is at_present missing from the county treasury. ‘Ihe commissioners are severely condenntd for the apparent careless manuer in which they have heen in the habi of making settlements, The county elerk as well as the treasurer, come in for their share of blame for allowing the records to be handled by outsiders while an iuyestiga- tion is pending.” The investigation continues, but the com- xpert White, seem to o lknown.

On Friday the Rock Island railroad company decided to move four cars ot nails which stood on the side track, These nails had been manufactured by men who had taken the place of strikers,” Asa last resort it was determined that these cars shoud not be moved. As the strikers bad - been enjoined from interfering with the business of the company, their Wives and children to the number of - several hundred decided to prevent the moving of the cars, Th st on the tracks, and s fast as the police and train: nmen would move from the front of the engine they would take places further on.“Iliere was no violenee, bt as the police would not attack the womeh they were com- vletely sueeesstul and the day passed without asinglecar being woved, — vesterday sateschienme was repeated,but a larger force ot police was on land and 'the women much more excited. ‘They opposed the approach of the police, marched, carrying banners pro- claiming their rights, and went so far as to throw stones and teat up n number of rods of track. The police were not quite so gentle as the day before. They used clubs ocens sionally, and the” raiiroad was able to make some progress with the cars, The men had mostly remained in the buek ground, but as the excitement increasea they came to the assistance of tho women and thiree of their nuniber were arrestod. No one s injured, but when the operations ot the day were over, a very bitter feeling was prev- alent, many of the men being in a de- cidedly Tiotous frameof mind and the women frantic.
