TuE OMAHA DaiLy BEe SIXTEENTH YEAR. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHI The Oleveland Declination Story Proves to Be a “Stretcher.’” IT GREW WITH CIRCULATION, The President Very Much Annoyed, But the Atmosphere Clearing— Garrett on the B. & O—Other Washington News. What Vest Really Said. WastisGToN, April 24,—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.| — The president i« very much annoyea at the stupid story that has 50 widely cirzu- lated about his declining to accept a re- nomination. It appears to have originated with Senator Vest, and was founded on some talk of his at Chamberlain’s the other night. Two or threc disgruntled democrats were abusing the president for making ap- pointments, as they charged, for his own benelit without rezard for the party at larze, and declared that he was setting up the pins for his own renomination. In reply to them the senator said that he did not think the president ever Lad any such motive, On the contrary, he believed that he did want a second term and at the proper time would say so. When called upon tor evidence Vest declared that the president had said as much to him; that he had often spoken of the burdens and annoyances of office, and would be glad when his term expired. This was about all there was of it, but the story grew, as stories do,till itcame to the press that the president had requested Senator Vest to announce that he was not a candidate for a second term. Vi gcuple here be- 1leve the story—only those who wanted to have it true.” The president is annoyed, Vest, too, annoyed, but the atmosphere is clearer now, and we are officlally informed that the president is not concerning himself with the subject in any way whatever. The way Colonel Lamont puts it is that the president has no time to think of such things and it would not be considered becoming in him if he had, Still, there are not ten men in Washington of his party, with any sort of political’sense, who "do "not believe that Mr. Cleveland will be his own successor, whether he seeks a renomination or not: and what is more, there is no man in Washing- ton who is quite so certain of it as he. For that reason, if no other, he will not let the future history of the country bother his brains. 2 WHAT DORSI 3 ST, Louis, April 2.—The Republican’s ‘Washington correspondent, again referring to the presidential renomination matter, gives the following: 'The story has come to the correspondent of the Republican to-night significantly conlirmatory of the conversa- tion between the president and his senato- rial visitor. This story 13 to the effect that the president had quite recently prepared a formal letter to be made public setting forth his views in regard to asecond term in f!llllll. istinct words, and unqualitiedly declaring that he would not beacandidate for re- election. Yielding to the earnest persuasion of his friends he consented, however, 10 withhold the letter for the present at least, if not wholly abandon his intention of giving it to the public, This story is told on the authority of Colonel Dorsleimer, of New York, who was In Washington a fow days ago. He told several of his friends while here, Immediately after coming from the white house, that he had been shown @& draft of a letter such as has been already characterized and hisadvice was asked regarding the policy of such publication. He said that the letter referred at some length to the opposition of a certain element of the democratic party to the re-election of ' Cleveland and the chance that this inight defeat the ticket. After re- ferring to this well known factor in the ex- isting political situation, Colonel Dorsheimer nyl{ha resident went on in his letter to say that he deemed it wise, 1n view of these cireumstances, to withdraw his name from all consideration in connection with the nomination. He announced in unequiyocal torms that he was not a candidate and suF- gested that sowe other leader, who could command the united support of the whole lmrty. be selected as the standard bearer in 888, " Golonel Dorsheimer stated that he at once protested against any pubiic use of such a letter as proposed. He told the presi- dent there was no need for him to adopt this step. 'e urged the president to abandon the id r the present at any rate, and finally induced him to yield to his persuasions. B. & O.

AN EXCITING SEA CHASE, A Yankee Schooner's Escape From a Canadian Cruiser. OTTAWA, Ont,, April 24.—[Special Tele- grm to the Beg.J—The department of the fisheries has information from St John, N. C,, from the commander of the Candian cruiser Vigilant in which he gives particu- lars of anattemmpt which he made on April 20 to seize the American fishing schooner Hattie Maud off Grand Manan, The Vigilant was cru'sing in shore when information was re- ceived that a fleet of fishing vessels from Gloucester were preparing to fish within the thiree-mile limit a few wiles down, Sail was hastily made and when, after making about six miles, the American vessels were seen. the Vigilant tacked and ran out to sea, The Vigilant must have been seen as soon as she had herself sighted the offenders, for the fishermen at once put up sail. the Hattie Maud being the last to start. She evidently waited for the cruiser, which ran up within fifty yards of the Massachusetts boat, which then bore away. The Vigilant tired blank shots at her, which had no effect. As the yankee vessel was gaining ground solid shot was lired over the vessel, striking fifteen yards beyond. ‘T'his failing, the commander of the Vigilant traned the biz wuns upon the flyin schooner, which was nearly half amile away, scudding'along beforea strong breeze. S eral shots were fired, but without etlec the commander of the Vigilant, seeing his getting away trom him, ordered all sails upand prepared to run the daring ti down. _Just about this time the foretopmast of the Vigilant was carfied l\\'n¥ and the chase had to abandoned. The Hattio Maud continued on her way toward Eastport. Itis reported that a great many fishing vessels are about the Bay of Fundy looking for bait, and in many cases buving it. An- other cruiser will be dispatched at an early day to aid the Vigilant in watching them. ——— THE “ASIATIO LIMITED,” Pullman and Adams' Scheme For Trans-Atlantic Travel, BosToN, April 24.—|Special yT'elegram to the BEek.)—George M. Pullman arrived here yesterday with his ‘“‘vestibule’ train, which, as has been announced, conslsts of a com- plete train—baggage, express, smoking, din- ing and sleeping cars—connected together by wooden and rubber partitions so as to be virtually all under one roof. In the evening he took a party of New England railroad men on atrial trip to Putnam, Conn., and back. On the way back, Charles Francis Adams, President of the Union Pacitic com- pany, stated that the train is the result of a correspondence about two years ago between himself and Pullman. Adamssuggested the establishment of great trans-continentai trains, to be known as the “*Asiatic limited,” which should suprly the Ametican link in the great tnrough fine from Europe to Asia. He proposed to sell_coupon_tickets ,in Paris and London for Tokio, Yokohoma, Hong Kong and Canton. The passengers will be obliged to make only two changes of con- veyance between Liverpool or Hayre and his Asiatic destination. Pullman has ful- filled his part of the bargain and the plan in full is about to be carried out. Passengers before leaving Europe will have state rooms assigned for the entire trip. The trans-At- lantic steamer will land travelers on the Jersey Lllfi whart. within ten yards of the train which will take them in just 100 hours to the gang plank of the Pacitic Mail steamshin in San Francisco, and his journey will be continued to his destination. The stop in Jersey City and San Francisco will be as brief as the rapid handling of baggage and mails can make it. 'The trip from tondnn to Yokohoma or Canton can thus be made in- side of one month, It has not yet been de- cided whether the *Asiatic limited” will run weekly or fortnightly. Adams says that within a few months it will be in operation and moving as smoothly as the arrangements {ur an ordinary journey of one-tenth the dis- ance. —— Trouble Anticipated in Manitoba. WINNEPEG, April 24.—|Special Telezram to the BEE.|—The railway disallowance still agitates the people here and a crisis may be reached at any time. The Canadian Pacitic seems to be foreing the federal government to disallow the charters just passed by the provinclal legislature here to connect with the American system of railway. The volitl- cal friends of the conservative party have in- sisted upon an emphatic *'yes” or “no” from the Ottawa authorities as” to whether the charter just passed will be disallowed. 1f vetoed they will call upon Scarth, the member recenely elected for Winnipeg in the govern- ment interest, to resign his seat in the hou: ot commons. The Norquay government i in anticipation of disallowance, has passed a bill to force the government itself to force the railway to international boundary. In the event of disallowance the road will be constructed in defiance of the Dominlon gov- ernment. Should a clash then ocecur, or an attempt be made to stop construction, the people of Manitoba, it is almost certain, will rebel and secede from the confederation. Much interest is attached to the prospective vote on the question ot disallowance in the Ottawa parliament next week, recked by a Ball of Fire. EvANsvILLE, Ind, Avril 24.—|Speciai Telegram to the Brr.]—News reached here to-day of a strange and startling phenomenon which occurred yesterday on the farm of Mr, Lemuel Stansberry, on the island above this city. About 11 o'clock & small and intensely black cloud smld«nly appeared from the west and swept rapidly across tne island until directly "over the residence of Mr. Stansberry, when it exploded with terrific force, and what appeared to be a ball of lire attacked tho house with territic fury, blow- ing off the roof, tearing out one section of the house, and playing havoc generally. Leaving the house it” tore down the eastern fence and died away. ‘There was no rainfall with the cloud burst. The family of Mr. Stansberry were preparing dinner when the wreck occurred ~and they were nearly frighitened out of their senses. i R Depredating Indians Captured, St. Louts, Apnl 24.—A special from Fort Worth, Tex., says: Advices from the Ana- darko Indian agency are to the effect that there has baen great excitement there owing to the action of the Kiowa Indians in mak- ing depredations on the cattle men.

This becomin kuown, the Kiowas took their wowen lllfi children and all their ponies to a stronghold on Rainy Mountain, about forty miles from Anadarko.

VARIOUS PHASES OF THE CASE Precautions Taken at Paris to Pre- vent the Occarrence of More Serious Incidents — Com- ments of the Press, Awaliting Developments, Copyright 1587 by James Gordon Bennett.) Panis, (via Havre), April 24.—[New York Herald Cable—Spec.al to the Bee.|—It is believed at the German embassy here that if satisfactory evidence is adduced to show that Schinaebelo was arrested on French ter- ritory he will be released. 1f, on the other hand, the arrest took place on nan terri tory, the trial will be proceeded with. Mean- while investigations are being instituted by both governments—which will last probably ten days—to determine the precise spot where the arrest was made; also the question as to whether, under international law, a warrant may be issued againsta foreign of- al without the previous assent of the gov- ernment to which such official belongs. Other matters will also have to be deter- mined. For instance, whether Schnaebele’s arrest comes within the extradition treaty, and as to the validity of the warrant itself. PREVENTIVE MEASURES TAKE Public opinion in Franco is calm and dig- nified, although itis felt that the German authorities have been guilty of a flagrant breach of international law. The French government have taken steps to avold, so far a8 possible, the occurrence of more serious incidents. For instance, the guards have been doubled in the vicinity of the German embassy. in the rue de Lille, in order to pre- vent any hostile demonstrations, and M. Lamonreux, who intended to produce “Lohengrin” on Tuesday at the Eden theater, has been urged to postpone its pro- duction. At the ministry of foreizn affairs itis firmly believed that the matter can be settled upon its technical merits and even, if worse comes to worse, it mizht be settled peacefully by the arbitration of the emperor of Russia, Baron Monrenheim, the Russian ambassador, is due in Paris to-morrow from Cannes. FLIPPANT PRESS COMMENT. The Paris newspapers are very moderate in tone and the most of them retrain from expressing any opinion until the result of the ofticial inquiries is made known. Even Rochefort, in Transigeant, abstains from pouring oil on the flames and treats the mat- ter flippantly. He says: *“1f we had a prime minister who, instead ot passing his time in bothering Parisians with his absurd hobbies against betting on horse racing, had the courage to defend them, he would reply to the kidnappin z of Schnaebele by sendini to the Mazas prison all the Germans in Paris found selling adulterated beer. ‘The Voltaire publishes an interview with Charles Gautsch, a calico clerk in the Maga- rins du Printemps, who is a brother of Jacques Gautsch, the German police official who kidnapped Schnaeble. It appears from the interview that Jacques Gautsch Is a natu- ral born Frenchinan and has always been considered the black sheep of the family. ACTIVE MOVEMENT OF TROOPS. Dispatches from Mayence say that never since the war of 1570 has there been such a movement of troops at the various points of the Rhine provinces. There are railway car- riages available between Mayence and Dus- seldorf for the conveyance in three days, if necessary, of 230,000 troops. Another series of wagons in the center of Germany-Bavaria are able to carry 250,000 troops to the frontier in four days, Says He Was a Spy. BeRLIN, April 24.—The Montagsblatt de- clares that Schinacbele had six surbordinate agents who were acting as spies for Boulan- ger. One of these agents, being dismissed by Schnaebele, entered the German service. Through hus revelation a number of arrests were made and evidence collected against Schnaebele. The Trouble Settled.' DunLIN, April 24.—LUhe trouble between Lord Lansdowne and his tenants has been settled. PHYSICIAN VS, ACTOR. A Sensational Episode Growing Out of Kliza Weathersby's Death, NeW YORK, April 24.—[Special Telegram tothe Bre.1—The death of Eliza Weathersby- Goodwin, the actress, promises to have a se- quel. Dr.Merion has presented his bill for protersional services to her husband, Nat C. Goodwin, and Mr, Goodwin has refused to pay, on theground that it is exorbitant. But this difference of opinion does not make the sensational episode. ‘There are other things back of the matter that, 1t brought out, as it seems likely they will be in the courts, will prove extraordinary. Mrs, Goodwin had been ill tor a considerable period. The trouble was a disorder that resisted all attempts to check it. Eventually the family physician, Dr. T. 8. Robertson, deemed it advisable to xperts summoned to consult on the ms was not among those who came at first. The doctors were in grave doubt as to the preeise nature of the malady, but some were inclined to the opinion that 1t was a tumor in the fallopian tubes. If such were the case the only possible remedy would lie inan operation for the removal of the tumor—a very dangerous matter at the best, and one that ' would be liable to cause deatn, even if successfully performed. \When Mrs. Goodwin was informed of the possible n: ture of her trouble she expressed a desire that an operation be made, but Dr. Robert- son promptly refused to perform it. He was not confident that a tumor existed, and was wholly unwilling to assume the terrible re- sponsibility for the result it none should be found. The other experts agreed with the family physician. Mrs. Goodwin, however, was anxions that whatever might be done for her should be resorted to, and Dr. Sims was called. He made an examination, and Lis opinion agreed in its general features with that of his colleagues. The truth of the matter simply was that Mrs, Goodwin must die if the disorder were to be left alone; that a surgical operation might possibly save her, but the chances were so strongly against her that it would hasten the end. This Was made clear to the patient, and she unhesitatingly asked Dr, Sims to make the operation. He consented, and Dr. Robertson ‘and one other were present when it was performed, The result showed thatno tumor existed, ' disorder was mflammation of the fallopian tubes, and soon after the conclusion of the rs. Goodwin died. Dr. Sims is n of the highest professional stand- an extended practice and cowmes e actor, who disputes the blll, pur- poses to show, when the doctor sues him for the amount, that the death of his wife was nothing less than scientific murder. He will endeavor to produce the experts to swear that the operation was uncalled for, dangerous and inexcusable. On the other hand it is said that Dr. Sims can easily justity his course. It is pretty sure to be a disagreeably interesting case, unless the actor yields and pays the bill, for the physieian is determined 1o "collect, even if it should prove necessary to invoke the aid of the law. ’ Electric Light Works Buened.

NEw York, April 24—|Special Telegram to the BEk:)]—The week has been one of considerable irregularity in the stock market, the temper of specalation having changed frequently, with occasional wide fluctua- tions.

Ex-Alderman Charles B.

These statements are denied, however, by those who are acquainted with Sharp and believe in his own power to gesout of the difliculty.

The entertainment given by Washing- ton Irving Bishop, the mind-re: at the exposition building last night, attended by about 2,000 persons. The aftair was not altogether a success. But this was not altogether due to Mr. Bishop, He had some very stupid subjects to work upon. And the committee of gentlemen selected to sit on the platform to watch the tests critically was not as bright as it might have been, Several annoying balks were caused in the programme. ‘The committee was seleoted, one gen- tleman after another, as their names hap- pened to be called out by different per- sons in the audience. ‘‘Ben Einstein,” a gentleman from Chicago, seemed to be very badly wanted by ny people n the audience. But he would not serve on the committee. At las the committee composed of twelye or fifteen gentlemen, was seated aud Mr. Bishop proceeded with the en- tertainment. hu is a rather small, inte lectual man, with a very smooth, easy x:\:mner of talking and prepossessing ad- dress. Mr. Bishop, in his first experiment, se- lected W. V. Morse from the committe told him to go down in the audienc 1ake a dagger which was handed him, strike some person with 1t and then hidé While this was going on, Mr. Bishop was behind the stage scenery, so that he could sce nothing. His task wuas to, blind folded, in conuection with Mr. Morse, find the person who wus struck and then locate the dagger. He did not nceeed in doing this, Mr. Morse, who he aid not coacentrating his mind suffic- ntly. Another committee-man was sclected and the experiment was per- formed. H. J. Davis, one of the committee, wentin the audience, stole three differ- ent articles from as many persons, tied them up 1n a _handkerchief, and then hid it. Mr, hop, blind- folded, found the handkerchief, took out the articles and retured them to the dif- ferent owners. Another member of the committec took a circuitous course about the build- ing. Afterone failure, due to neglect on the part of the subject, the mind-reader, blindfolded of course, retraced the exact course ta . A committeeman wrote the name of a person in the audience on a picce of paper, sealed it in an envelope and handed it to Mr. Bishop. That gentle- man placed himself en rapvort with this committeeman and after groping among the audience, handed the letter to the man whose name it contained, Mr. Bishop then wrote on a blackboard the number 365,106, which was that of a #5 concealed in the pocket of Mr. Smith. That gentleman donated the $5 to the Childs Hospitaland Mr. Bishop cone tributed 5 more, ‘The next experiment was the last. Sev- eral gentlemen of the committee were to select three or four persons and arrange them in a tableaux on the stage. All this while Mr, Bishop was blindfolded. His task was to pick out the same gen- tlemen from the aundience and arrange them in the very same tableaux, by read- ing the thoughts of the gentlemen who arranged the tableaux. This experiment was only a partial success. « They arranged two tableaux which Mr. Bishop got mi: up in the reproducing. So that his task was a_ diflicult one and one that it was impossible to accomplish perfectly. However, he did so well that one lady shouted: *‘You've done well enough!” And this seemed to be the sentiment of the audience. ‘This experiment closed the entertain- ment. Mr. Bishop expressed his thanks, made his apologies and retired, AN OLD CIT DEAD, Charles Fleck Meets His Fate in a Runaway Wound.

NUMBER LABOUR REPENTANT RETURN, Des Moines' Absconding Police Judge Comes! Back Like the Prodigal. HE WANTS TO BE FORGIVENs! Lively Hostilities to the Raflroads Dee veloping Throughout lowa on Ace count of the New Rates— Other State News, After s Old Job, Des Moizes, la, April 24.—[Special to the Bk, |—This city has a genuine case of; “prodigal son” on its hands, and it hardly knows what to do with it.

Pres- ently it became rumored about that Judge Labour would return, that he was still on American soil, and that is response to the entreaties of his wife and friends, he had de- termined to come back, * "fess up,”’ and be- gin over. Sure enough he came. His for mer handsome moustache had been shaved off, and he reported that he had xone as far as Detroit—alimost over the line—where he listened to the good angel and turned back. When he had gathered himself together and recovered from his journey he told his tale of sorrow wnd contrition. as the old, ola story. He had spent more money than properly be- longed to him—women and cards had helped him dispose of it. He had no_intention of faulting or stealing the city’s funds, but when he was asked to make an account of the fines that had been paid to him, he de- clares that he first woke woke up to gho fact thathe was a defaulter and couldn’t meet his obligations. he says, he left town without knowing where he was going, or what he was going to do.

Yesterday the mayor called a special meeting of the’ city council to consider the case, and the wise ¥ rea- soned togesher for a long time as to what they should do in the premises. Here was the judge back home, promising that it they would eive him a litiie time he would pay the city all he owed it. Inasmuch as there is no set time when he is to render an account- ing for the funds thatcome to his possession they couldn’t suy that he lad stolen any- thing or was a defaulter. Besides, his term had not yet expired, and the council had no right to remove him, except char were referred and he were impeached. On he other hand there was the admission that he had fled to Detroit—there was no doubt about that. ‘Then his mustache was gone, and there was no doubt about that. ‘Then there had been a big scandal over the matter—there was no doubtabout that.

IN ARMS AGAINST THE RAILROADS, ‘The new inter-state commerce law, and the action of the railroads under it, is stirring u a very lively spirit in lowa. Complaints come from nearly every shipning pointin the state, and in ‘many localities inanufac~ turing inter are practically shut out of the market. At Marshalltown the chief indus- try is the Towa_barb wire factory which does a business of $400,000 and gives life to the pla Under the new law the railroads introduced the “equalized rates” which rmerly gave, and have made it almost impossible for the company to do business. The peopleof Marshalitown are right up in arms, and talk about demanding an extra on of the legislature to bring the rall- s to terms, There is the liveliest kind of hostility to the roads being strewn all over the state, for the impression prevails that they are working to build up Cineago inter- ests, and break down the ambitious cities of lowa and Nebraska.

ATION, The resigna 18 Potter as vice president and general manager of tie C.

It is the general feeling through the state that the Union Pacific is to be congratulated on secur- ing Mr. Potter, and that 1n the new field of opportunity that is opened to him, ha will display the remarakable executive power: that has wade him prominently the first rail- road manager of the west.
