FEELING THE PUBLIC PULSE. Whituoy and Lamont in New York On an Administration Mission, THE FISHERY RETALIATORY ACT. Demands Being Made Upon the Pres- fdent to Eaforce It — Public Printer Benedict Talks.- Washington News. The President Growing Cautions, WasmixatoN, March 28.—[Special Tele . |—Secretary Whitney aud mont (Mr. Cleveland’s pri- vate secretary), to-day returned from New York, whither they went, 80 report has it, to feel the public pulse on the subject of the ad- sinistration. The first man received at the ‘white house in-day was Mr, Whitney. He re- mained in secret consultation with the presi- dent for over an hour, and 13 to have submitted a detailed report of what was a: certalned concerning the feeling in reference o the general policy of the administration, ‘The president is evincing great solicitude in regard to the appointment of commissioners to Investigate the books of the Pacilic rall- roads, and It is known that he is asking his friends for advice, the first time he has done such a thing. He has also made inquiny among his friends in New York about the appointment of a secretary of the treasury ang treasurer, and he Intends to please his own state as far as possible in selecting these ofticers. It 's stated that the president in- tends to take a short recreation trip in a fow days, a8 soon as he makes someappointments demanding attention, and the arrangements {' this had some attention from Secretary ‘hitney during his absence in New York. REQUESTING IT8 ENFORCEMENT, Demands are being made upon the presi- dent to execute the authority vested in him by the act of congress last moutl and retall- ate against Canada on account of her acts against our fishing vessels. 1t is belleved by y that the president may comply, as the navy degmment has renewed the " prosecu- tion of the inguiry begun some tine ago rela tive to the ability of the railways and canals of the country to transport boats and naval material from seato inland waters. It has been learned that the mumes of the existing raliroads are li to ability to transport boats of an extremas length of 110 feet, while the Erie canal will permit the passage from the Atlantic ocean to the lakes of torpedo boats 100 feet in length. As torpedo eraft mecessary for the defense of lake ports are not required to be as seaworthy and as large ®s those intended for the protection of th sea coast, it1s bellevud that the existing fa- «cilities are ample. THE PUBLIC PRINTING OFFICE. Not a little agitation continues over the wholesale dismissals from the government printing ofice. Public Printer Benedict nyn he s dismissing, as fast as he finds tlmm. ncoms;ewnu harbored by Rounds, and that he will not hesitate to do_as fast as he finds them. Rounds, it is8aid, had a lot of lead wood in the office in the shape of per- sonal friends, and before he left he covered them up for protection as far as possible. Mr. Benodict was seen to-day, and speakiag of the dluchur‘sns last Saturday, said there were some democrats among them. I e now before me,” he said, picking up a letter from his desk, the letter of a damocratic senator. 1le writes that he regrets tnnlnld found It necessary to discharge whom he (the senator) had ap- Bo nd continues, ‘but 1 fear be has rou&ht it about bv hisown imprudence, He isatine man and a useful citizen, if he woul(xonly let whisky alone.’ 1n my reply. continued Mr. Benedict, 1 sald the dis- chmm man had no enemies here but him- " Benedict went on to say that large force, such as he em- vloyed. for discharges on per- nal ~ grounds almost dnlly "Blll," he procecded, “'I have a larger force than [can carry and I shall reduce it. 1 shall mnka reductions in my own time, the rule of the ‘survival of the fittest’ prevall, all other things belng equal.” public printer did not even seem lnclined w make any response to the allegation that he wasendeavoring to make places fur democrats, He sald If there was any object In creating the impression that he was irying to help the democratic party he would not attempt to correct that impression. VAN WYCK ON INTER-STATE COMMERCE. Aniong the president’s callers to-day was ex-Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, who is ghup some private business before re- turuing home. ‘“‘Everythin, yolm.sr.on com- lnation by the railroads,” —sald V k. h view to merce law » to the people. For nstance, Isee that the I‘annqglvnnln road already announced an increased rate of r cont on commutation tickets, and the Bl timore & Ohio is preparing to follow suit. too, the companies throughout the wanv. arecalling in outstanding uwuunnd mile tickets, declaring that the law aiso prohibits their issue. Such an idea never entered the heads of the framers of the bill, and there is nothing, elther directly or lndlrectly in the law that is applicable ‘on the point. These tickets were a great accommodation to mer- cantile travellers, and their recall by the rail- s will not havea tendency to make many substantial friends for the new statute.” RANDALL AND THE REPUBLICANS. It 18 rumored to-day that the reason that Representative Rnndnlla district was exempted from republican gerrymander of the Pennsylvania congressional dis- tricts was that the republicans in congress Propose to combine with the anti-tariff reform democrats and elect him speaker of the hnuu. indall’s district was saved, it s stated, % diot of work of the Camerons, a few tari fon democrats in Pennsylyania who mmanlzulmnz the scheme tofnake Randall the speaker aud relegate Mr. Carlisle.

QUEENSTOWS, March 29, —The Dauntloss passed Oldhead, off Kinsale, at 3:15 this af- ternoon. A tug left here with press corre- spondents to meet the Dauntless and accom- pany her to Roche’s Point. ‘[he oficers of the Coronet and other yachtsmen are greatly pleased with the result of the race and say it served to show the admirable qualities of buth yachts. Considering the difference in tonnage and length of the two yachts, and the extraordinary hieavy weather which pre- vailed during the voyage, the Dauntless is thought to have done a8 well as her competi- tor. The officers and triends of both yachts will be enterta d by the members of the Royal Cork club. = The Dauntless crossed the finishing line at o'clock. Her actual time on passage was 16 days, 1 hour, 43 minutes and 13 seconds, She has been mw]ed into the harbor and is now safely at anchor. All on board the Dauntless are well and the ‘““ is in as good shape as when she loft Owl's Head. She exverienced about the same weather as the Coronet. comparison of the lofis of the two racers in- dicates that they followed about the same course. Caldwell Colt, owner of the Daunt- less, says that he encoun! niore wind than he bargained for. Kor sixteen hours his boat was obliged to qu.o. Once she scudded before the gale under bare poles. When last seen from the deck of the Coronet on the evening of the start the Dauntless was steer- Illl south-southwest, but during the night course was changed nnrthwes‘ enst. n March 11§ sho ran into a heavy crosssea with a strong southeast gale. Oil was used with good effect to break the waves and the yacht wenthered her first storm well. The “next day the sea was even more turbulent and broka over the deck In rapid succession, wrenching the yacht so much that she began to leak islightly. The temperature of both the air and water on theafternoon of the 18th Indicated that ice was in close proximity and it became necessary to use great precaution in running. At midnight the thermometer registered 44 degrees and the water 35. An hour later the temperature of the air was 40 degrees aud the water 28. At 6 o'clock on the night of the 19th, when a heavy gale was blowing from the InII"IWGSG, & smooth stretch of water was run temperature indicated that there were iceberzs mear. There was a quantity of solid ice to leeward and very near. On the 20th, 21st and 22d there were strong gales. 1t was on the last of those days that the Dauntless hove to. Since lm Thursday the weather was fine. On the 2ith a_run ol miles was made, which is said to be the best ever made by a yacht on the Atlantic ocean. Fastnet light was sighted at 1:30 in the morn- ing, but the wind had died out and the run along the coast was slow, During the storm of the 23d the cockpit was, on several occa- sions, tilled with water and altogether it was a perilous time for the yacht, On the 2ith the sea was terribly roughand the boat rolied 80 badly that the water tank burst, The sea- men were consequently put on the smallest possible allowance of water, but later on they were l‘llunl(lullv supplied with ale and claret and ul timately” withh champagne instead of lwnmr. Allon board arrived in the best of health. During one of ¢he severe gales on the pas- 8age two men were washed from the wheel and only saved from going overboard by the lashings with which they were beund. Fox Offers a Cup.

J. M. F‘LOUI!E FLATES. He Believes There Will be War Be- tween France and Germany. PAnis, March 28—A sensation has been caused by the publication of a reported con- versation between M. Flourens, French min- ister ot foreign affairs, and the correspond- ent of the Novoe-Vremya of St. Petersburg. The story is ofticially declared . to be incor- rect, t nq little value is attached to_it. Ac- cordlnq to the published report, Flourens sald: “While Russia is with us, war with Germany 18 impossible, Germany would suffer more than any other power by defeat. Therefore she has no course but to live on good terms with Russia and us. Russia came forward for us in a moment of danger and we will not remain with folded arms should she endangered.” Touching France’s relations with England he said no complications were 1i to arise, Another Priest Wanted.

All the blame for this discourazement is east upon Carter Harrison, whose ability to decline and withdraw has rarely been equalled and never excelled. Next to Carter, Mr. Cregier comes in for heavy abuse at the hands of the de- moralized democrats. A conference com- mittee met this afternoon and after an hour's deliberation sub-committees were delegated to ‘wait upon Marshall Field, Potter M. ¥, Tulley, Dr. DeWolff. John A.

THE BUDGET OF LOCAL SPORTS. Franko's Benefit--Pythian Points— Governer Cumback's Lecture— The Kiver—Hittihg the Pipo— Closed Ry Creditors — McLanghlin Didn‘'t Show Up. Fully 1,500 people crowded the sidewalk around the exposition building at 8 o’clock Iast night prepared to put up their money to witness the wrestling match between Charles Moth, the champion Greco- Roman wrestler, and Colonel J. H. Mo- Laughlin, of Minneapolis. The building was damk, however, and the doors were locked. On the inside Moth and Secretary Miner, of the exposition asociation, were engaged in a wrestling match that was not on the bills. Colonel McLaughlin had failed to make his appearance and Secretary Miner refused to open the doors for the admission of the spectators. Moth was wrathy. He had a match ar- ranged betwcen Samuel Matthews and Elliott Edwards and was going to follow this with a match between himself and Adolf Royce, who had agreed to help out in the emergency of McLaughlin's non- arrival. Moth saw $1,000 in sight 1a the nudience and wanted it. Ho proposed to explain McLaughlin's failure to ap- pear and to refund the money to any of the spectators who would not be satis- fied by the substitute programme that he would present. Many of the men who were waiting outside announced that such a programme would satisfy them and clamored for admission, Mr, Miner was obstinate. The exposition associ- ation, he said, once had an experience with an enraged audience that went to see Duncan R [“auu when he failed to pre. sent the andvertised attraction and that he did not hanker after & repetition of the scenes of that memorable night. He refused, therefore, to open the doors unless McL‘uxhlm ap- peared. After a great deal of parleyin, the match was declared off and the crow: relucmntly dispersed. Colonel Mec- Laughlin’s failure to arrive is explained on the grounds of severe sickness in his family. He is said to have been over- taken at Sioux City, on his way to Omaha, by a telegram compelling him to return to Minneapolis. Ivis expected that the match will take place next week, prob- ably on Wednesday evening. The Ball Club in Practice. Through the cour! of the managers of the exposition biilding Stub Bandle was given an opportunity yesterday of getting the members 6f the Omaha Ball club together for a_little practice. The men met in the buitdfhg in the afternoon and indulged in ah “hour’s practice at pitching and catching. The first thing developed by the practice was the fact that the Omaha club asia cyclone in Dan O'Leary, the left handed pitcher. Kreh- meyer, one of the best catchers in the west, when asked by Bandle to catch a little for O Leary quietly excused himself and said that he had been there, Harter and Bandle them caught in turn. O'Leary isa big muscular fellow with wonderful speed and;a complete mastery of the curves. He promises to be an ex- ceptionally valuable man for the Umnlm club. Tho other members of the club appeared in fine shape and atrengthoncd the faith already established in the local patrons of the sport that the Omaha team will be the champions of the Western league. Bicycle Matters. Bullock and Ashinger will try conclu- sions again next Saturday evening. Ash- inger is not satisfied with the result of the race on Saturday night last, and has issued a challenge which Bullock has ac- cepted for three races, to be ran next Saturday night., There will be a .one- mile, fivemile and ten-mile dash, the win ner of two heats to take the stakes. The riders will start from opposite sides of the track., Between the heats will be a number of amateur contests and an exhi- bition of trick ridingA John 8.

As mentioned in the Bew last night, Charles Kirk, a barber of this city, en- gaged yesterday afternoon in a glove fight with Jimmy Donovan, a ‘‘capper” for a local gambling house, the fight com~ ingoff in a private room in this city. was & trifle after 4 o'clock when bo!h men Pumped stripped for business, into the rlug. Kirk was shghtly heavier than his n‘pponom who, however, a ppeared to be of more muscular build than the other man. Kirk was seconded by Clow and Dono- van by Paddy Norton. Seth Cole and Zeke Murdoch acted ‘as timekeepers. Charles Moth was referee. For the first few seconds the men glared cautiously at one another, each one seemingly waiting for an opening. Kinally Kirk made a tremendous rush at Donovan and planted his right square on the Irishman’'s neck. Donovan dropped to the floor, beliowing with pain. shout of derision from the spectators rreeted him as he staggered to his feet. He made a feeble thrust at Kirk, but was met with a_stunning blow in_the face which again lloore him. He pxcked himself up and st Qsed across the ring, followed by Kirk, again hit him in the neck hurlmp fum against the wall. He cr;wlml to his coraer, but was told by his seconds that he smust fight and meekly walked to the centél'of the ring again, only to be met a fearful upper cut blow, which floore fiun for the third time. Time was galled and both men went to their coraere. | Kirk was smiling and unseratched, “lile Donovan was bleeding pro(u.\.ly llll‘ had aswollen and black eye. Donovan comme to pull off the gloves but was finaflypersuaded by his second to try anothe round, He was knocked down onceqmore by a hurricane blow from Kirk. andl #zain retreated to his corper. “I' ruu h,” he said frcl'r(l) looking Mm mt a half dazed 00| “Sit down, then,’ lig you're through,” eaid Kirk. Donovan sat dow with a “dull thud,” and retreated amid jeers from the specta- tors. Donovan is said to be a half-witted fel- low. He is no more a match for Kirk than the latter is for Sullivan. It is a howling shame that he should have been 80 burtally im Jmud upon by the men who persuaded him to go hlw this fight. The profits of the match, about $100, was gobbled by the sure lhlng men who man- the affair and who elaim to be pro- moters of sport, A Possible Accident.

Enthusiasm was unbounded and the most unlimited ap- plause greeted the artists who contribu- ted to the entertainment. The pro- grammo was an exceptionally pleasing one combining as it did variety and ex- cellence. The performers included the very cream of Umaha talent assisted by Miss BertaDamon a talented actress who came up from Kansas City, and Madame Muentefering of Topeka. The opening overture was a selelection from the ‘‘Barber of Seville” given in a most spirited manner by the military band. The finely drilled organization was appreciated to the extent of a rousing encore. Mr. Franko then followed with a Mendelssohn concerto, which was given with all the soul and delleacy that is so characteristio of his work on the violin. Praise is super- fluous with an artist of such high rank and it was never more s0 than last night. Mr, Franko never played more exquis- itely, and that spontaneous, unanimous burst of applause thut expresses more than all else followed his every selection. Madame Muentefering played Chapin's “Ballade a Flat” with a great deal of earnestness and considerable fire, and was duly applanded. The Mendelssohn quartette, Mrs. Cotton, soprano; Miss Rath, contralto; W. B. Wilkins, tenor, and Revel France, bass, sang Pin- suti's “Parting Kiss'' faultlessly. The quartette is getting to be a feature of every first-class musical entertainment and no concert 18 now considered quite sat- isfactory without the rich and perfect harmony of their voices. The remark- able properties of the sevaral voices, their precision of attack and oneness of feel- ing constitute them an organization that would carry u:vns honorsin any metropo- a lis. Miss Berta Damon followed with a Klquant recitation entitled ‘‘Money usk.” The young lady is one of the brightest and most captivating lights of the stage, and she fairly brought down the house last night, On being recalled she gave another racy selection and was inundated with m'nxmh{;ent {loral offer- ings. Miss Francesca Roeder made her debut last night as one of our rising mezzo sopranos, and went through the ordeal with much credit to her- self and her teacher, Mr. Franko, The aira “O Mo Fernando” displayed well her soft yet full tones and made her the recipient of an encore and also a floral tribute. The Moz-\rt slrmg uintette gave a cradle son, Kjerulf and a serenade by Mosl owskl nud justitied their inevitable reputation as an organization. Mme. Muentefering then played the Faust waltz by Gounod-Lizst, und the apprecia- tion of the pudience manifested itself in the bestowal of flowers on the pianist. The Omaha Liederkranz sang the Hunter’s chorus from e Freysputz ac- ceptably and Mr, Franko again held the audience spell-bound with his superb handling of the violin in the Witches’ Dance. The concert ended with the March from Nibelungea by the military band, and this was encored and an effective p'urol given. Much of the honors must be conceded to Martin Cahn, whose faultless accompaniments added much to a finished and satisfactory per- formance. Altogether, Mr. Franko ‘has reason to feel gratified over the success of the concert and the tribute thereby paid to his genius, e KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, Parade, Drill and Ball at the Expo- sition this Evening.

E. church was packed last night by an enthusiastic audience that greeted ex-Governor Will Cumback, of Indiana, in his lecture on “Invisible Some People.”” The eloquent Hoosier more than met the expectations of the sudi- ence, most of whom have long kuown of his marked ahility ag & stump and plat- form orator. (zovernor Cumback's chief success {s the fine earnestness that marks his every movenient and utterance. The burden of the lecture was & scoring for the invisible but numerous “some peo- ple” who find special satisfaction in re- penting slight, thoughtless remarks and adding to thom until some one's charac ter is rnined by the tongue of slander. This slanderor *‘some people” is in every community, and the reputation or char- acter of no one is absolutely safe from his onslaught. He is u monster ini the dark, hidden” far from view, and hLuunqu strikes from under cover. He is every- where. In the church, politics and soci- ety is to be found the poison of the slan- dérer's tongue. It permeates every home, and frequently draws down to ignoming and ".mmg stains the fair name of woman. In the church fre- quently the pastor and the prominent members of his flock are drawn into a vortical dirogation by a mem- ber of their own church, who i8 never happy wunless he knows he has made an cffort to smirch the character of some noble men. It is im- pwlbhwtl'll the slanderer from the restof us. The individual is prominent in both sexes; or perhaps more in the mgle than the female. In Japan, it is n id, when a Japanese slandeus a follow wman, he m-c': the knife into his own heart. If such was tho case in this ceun. try eremation would be an absolute nom-nnllv and such horses as Maud S “NEARLY CRAZED with pain,” is the sad cry of many a victim of rheumatism or neuraigia, and frequently and Jay-Eye -See would be necessary to A\ g A 4= oarty ,{““nm,fl nway.

These discases for some unexplainable reason, are rapidly in- creasing, and in many instances are the die rect cause of much sickness which so hides its real origin _as to be mistaken for other discases, In curing rheumatiem neuralgia, sick headache, and in many cases nf kidney and liver troubles, Athlophoros has wrought wonders. Those who have used it are best qualiffed to speak of its merits, Rev. L, B, Senter, Morse, Kansas,s “About two years ago, my daughter-in- law was taken with a scvere attack of rheumatism, She could not turn herself in bed. I sent her one bottle of Athlophoros, and by the time one half was used IK‘.‘ was free from all pain, and has had no return of the trouble since. It h 0 been of great benefit to my wife in neuralgia. Henry Martin, Muscatine, Iowa, says, 4 did have rheumatism very badly until { used Athlophoros, which has completelv cured me. For seveeal years there would be certain times that I could invariably look for a severe attack of rheumatism, which would confine me ta the house for & week ata time. I was suffering from a vory se- vereattack in my arms and had been con- fined to the house for a week at the time I used Athlophoros, The first two doses seemed to go right to the seat of the pain; my relief was simply wonderful atter had taken two doses of rhe medicine. After I had used one bottls my pain was all gone,I had free use of my arms so that I went back to work. I have not felt my rheuma- tism since and have not lost an hour's work Every drumfl-t should keep Athlotho- ros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cannot be bought o tho druiFu the Athlophoros Co., 132 Wall st., New York, will send either, carringe paid, on rocalpt of regular price, which is 1 per {’-ofi"h for Athlophoros and 500 for the 1lls, For liver and kidney disonses, dvspepsia, in- fll}!l‘lflon, ‘woakness, nervous dobility, disenses woman, constipation, hendache, impure blood, ete., scienco of the age is to know how to live with justice to all mankind. At the close of the excellent lecture Governor Cumback held an informal re- ception and epent a pleasant hour in so- cial converse with hls audience. The River's Itises and Falls. The river rose a foot and six inches yesterday aftornoon on the Nebraska side, and fell about a foot, after dark. The fluctuation is eupposed to be due to the changes of the wind. A telegram from Pierre, D. T., was heard going over the wires last evnn|nz stating that the full there was two feet. At Yankton, D. T., nearly the same deprecintion of whter was markod. Pierre boing about half way between Omaha and Bismarek, it is safe to oalculate upon the fall of the river being general. S8ome of the old water dogs of stenmboal days were pre- dicting last evening that the June rise would be higher than the present one, owing to the great amount of snow in the mountains. Wyoming's Cattle. Colonel A. T. Babbitt, manager of the Standard Cattle company, one of the heaviest of Wyoming's cow corporations, was at the Millard yesterday. He Bis re- turning from New York. He stated that the hitherto good weather ot the month now elapsing had saved cattle men mill- 10n8 of dollars. Had March been a severe month thousands of steers, which became weakened by the sevcrny of early winter and have barely managed to exist since, would have succumbed. As itis, they have gained enough flesh, “from the fine weather in this month, to 'stand any brief storms which may come, and the loss will not be severe. A Fugitive Oaptured. Frank Rumels, who was arrested at Hastings some time ago on the charge of house burning, was sent to Kearney for safe keeping. About ten days ago he took advantage of Sheriff Schars' leni- ency and skipped from the town. He came to Omaha ana staid a few days and then went to work on a farm a few miles east of Council Bluffs. Sheriff Schars located him and captured him by means of a letter. He was returned to Kear- ney yesterday morning. Athiophoros Bills aro unequalied. Wants Omaha Advertised, Mr. George P. Bemis writes a let- ter from Cambridge, Mass.,, to the Omaha board of trade enclosing an advertisement cut from the Boston Her- ald setting forth in % wing terms the advantages of Lincoln Neb., asa railroad center and mnnuhcmrmg point. Mr. Bemis suggests that some similar action should be taken to advertise Omaha in the east. The board will probably con- sider the matter nt its next meeting. Hitting the Pipe.
