" THE OMAHA Dany BEE TH YEAR. OMAHA, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1887, g - e R SR NUMBER 136, CATTLEMEN AT KANSAS CITY. First Day of the National Cattle Growers' Aseociation. DISCUSSING PLEURO-PNEUMONIA Commissioner Colman Reads a Paper Mcets With the Disapproval of the Illinois Delegation. Cautle Growers in Convention, Kaxsas Ciry; Oc i to the Bre.]—The National Cattle Growers’ convention of the United States is fairly un- der way, but from present prospects the pleuro-pneumonia question is bound to create dissension. Commissioner Colman's paper on that question, read at the opening session this afternoon received with unqualified disapproval by the Illinois delegation, and when the committee on resolutions presents its report to-morrow a heated and lengthy de- bate is anticipated. The attendance thus far is not up to that of previous years, only about one hundred and fifty regularly aceredited delegates being present at to-day's meeting, though about seventy-five more were in the ty, but preferred “taking in the town to articipating in the organization of the con- vention. At noon to-day the board of diree- tors of the Cattle Grow pciation met in executive session at the official headquarters, room 102 of the Coates house. There was a general discussion of the affairs of the asso- ciation, during which Mr. John Clay, jr., the treasurer, gave an outlineof the report which he will read at the business meeting of the a sociation to-morrow. The report showed the association to be in a most flourishing finan- cial condition, there being a balance of 3,000 in the treasury after all outstanding debts are paid. The programme for th ternoon meeting was then discussed, and it was de- cided that the report of the legislative com- mittee should be read if th was time. Shortly before 2 o'clock the lively music dis- pensed by the famous “‘Cowboy” band, of Dodge City, Kan., drew the delegates and Visitors toward the Cates opera house, where the convention was held. There was no at- tempt made at decoration in the house. Nearly two hund delegates were in at- presenting over thirty states and . The delegates were seated in main auditorium, the section assigned to each state being marked by a small banns gold and opened by President D. W. Smith in a short In an informal talk just previous the conventign to nt stated that so far as the session throughout ¢ 1 business on left his home at conside to his business and he was anxious to return a8 8000 as possible.

Thanking you for your attention I ugaid bid you welcome to our cit Mayor William Warner, who was to have delivered the address of welcome sent, word to the convention at the last moment that he could not be present and. Mr. B, H.

We are very glad to see conventions of 'y kind coming to this growing young city of the west. You well know that although we have taken the name of one state we have swept over both Missouri and Kansas and are rcaching out our hands to the entire southwest. The Cit of Mexico is_nearer us t Syracuse, N. Y., to the city of New York, a few years ago. If this is the far west, I claim that we are a choice people out here and we are glad to have our nds come and sce just what kind of peoplewe are. We trust you will make yourselves as com.- fortable as you can. Gentlemen, you are sin- cerely welcome to Kansas City."” President Smith made a short response, thanking the former speakers for their warm welcome, The speaker said he felt sure that the meeting would be productive of great o He said: “I notice a singular and ntrast to the first cattlemen's con- vention ever held in this country.

Dr. Ames, of Montana, said ‘T am sure that we are s glad to come a8, the people of Kansas City aro glad to have us. 1 fear we are not well fixed to rveturn the municipal hospitality of the Kansas City people. I am contident that the cattlemen of the conven- tion will take off their huts to the people of Kuusas City.” H. H. Hines, of Michigan, was chosen tem- than, omary chairmin, and at ouce led to usiness by the appointment of a committec to name o temporary secretary. A delegato from Missouri made a motion to the ef that a committee on resolutions be appointed The motion provoked consideruble good- natur assion, and it was finally with- draw nt of the convention being de in favor of waiting until permanent organization was had. Commissioner Col man, of Illinois, addressed the convention substantially as follows: 1t gives me pleasure to meet you, repr ing a8 you do the most important interest in this country with a capital of 120,000,000, When I accepted my j nt position it was to neglect uo int f yours.

Doneiy, Oct, 31.—The appeal of Mr. Wm, O'Brien, editor of United Ireland, against the sentence of three months' imprisonment imposed on him by the Mitchellstown court, has been refused. On the announcement of the decision the court room was immediately in an uproar, and the people clustered around O'Brien to prevent the officers from arrest- ing him. A terrible struggle took place tween O'Brien's friends and the off Lad amed and fainted, but the offic finally succecded in arresting him. The latest advices from Mitchellstown state that the peo- ple are fearfully excited over the arrest, and that 20,000 persons are gathered around the court house and rioting is fearc The se! ice of Mr. Mandeville, chairn of the board of poor law guardians of Mitch- own, was also confirmed and he was taken into custody. Mandeville was jointly mdicted with O'Brien for using seditious language at the meeting at Mitchelstown and was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment. O'Brien and Mandeville, guarded by hussars, Wi placed in a car. The crowd cheered as they emerged from the court house. The policecleared the streets and prevented any attempt at rescue, The prisoners were taken to Cork § The stormy scene resulted from O'Brien’s attempt to leave the building in order to speak 10 his friends, The inspector of police re- fused to let him go, and a struggle ensued.

At the closing per- formance of Peanie’s “Lust Days of Pom- peii” a terrible accident occurred, resulting in the death of Antonio Infantes. To-night being the last of the season for the spectacle, Antonio Infantes proposed to make a balloon ascension, Shortly after 1 o'clock the bal- loon, & hot-air affair, was brought onto the immense stage before an audience of two thousand people. The air-ship started up quickly and had obtained a height of 500 fe when there was a collapse and the aeron plunged to the ground, holding desper: to the ropes which held the sagging « The descent was very rapid, and as he came down before the audience he was thrown upon an iron rod from which the rockets were being fired.

Great Britain's Arbitration Repre- sentatives Visit the President. THEIR MISSION ABLY PRESENTED. The Supreme Court to Decide the Anarchist Case To-morrow—Postal Telegraphs—Coast Defe Washington News. To Avert Bloodshed. WaAsHINGTON, Oct. 31.—The president this afternoon received a deputation from Great Britain who desire his co-operation in secur- ing a treaty between that country and the United States which shall provide for an amicable settlement of disputes by arbitra- tion. Andrew Carnegie introduced the visitors to the president in a short address, in which he presented the great importance of the que tion. Hon. Lyon Playfair, representing th members of parliament, and Mr, John W son, representing the trade congress, al made short add 8 in favor of the mov ment. Mr. Playfair, in his address, said th memorial had been signed by more than one- third of the members of the house of com- mons. It is really the outcome of an ardent desire on the part of the workingmen of the United Kingdom to perpetuate the friendship and peace which now exists between kindred people on both sides of the Atlantic. “International _arbitration,” Mr. Play- fair said, ‘“if established would only be one step further in the history of civiliza- tion and its principle should be extended to nations, especially when, as in the case of the United Kingdom and United States, they are allied by blood and kuit together by love. The time is favorable for the consideration of the question because the whole world is startled at the new aspect of war which the progress of scicnce is making —a hugy the brutal butchery nton waste of propes cost thre: ns the bases of national and even of national solven In ten ropean armanents has incr by at least 25 per cent, which amounts to 8 per cent of the whole carnings of Europe.

It is here, therefore .\ that proposals for tr might naturally be made. At all we might devise a treaty between the United Kingdom and the United States. That would be a glorious example to other nations, and might lead to the two great Anglo-Saxon nations being the peace-makers of the world.” Mr. Cremer, men's Peace h foreign her than in aties of arbi- M. P., secretary for King- sociation, who originated the memorial, then presented it to the president and made an address in which he said_the objects sought had met the approval of all classes in Great Britain. It was especially desirable that the United States should take the initiative, The president responded as followa: Gentlemen :2The main and prominent idea so fittingly presented by you and by the memo- rials you deliver, is a ‘lofty and ennobling one, involving the preservation of peace with all its manifold blessings. These have, as civilization progressed, been more and mgre ognized as the basis of national prospbr- and happiness, and this reflection may well lead to surprise that peace has made no greater progr in " its substitation for vasting _ progress of war, as an f° international disputes. It is well that the minds of good and thoughtful men should be now turned to this subject, and_that a concerted movement should be made to supersede _the_horrors of war. It is well, too, that_this effort should be made by the citizens of the two countries aim to be in the van of civi- progress. The people of my an_exhibit in_ their ty and development more of the Vi s of peace than any other nation on the globe. At the same time our history demonstrates that we need yield to none in and © the spirit_and patriotism which make war terrible, It scems to me that u country thus demonstrating the advantages of peace and at the same time having no fear of suspicion of weakness, is in a_favorable condition to listen to the merits of the cause you present. And, to my mind, there is nothing more touching or persnasive than the part the laboring men of England have taken in this movement. They speak for the fr dom from increased cost of living induced b W Nay, more. they speak for their homes, their families and their lives. I cannot but think that there are object lessons before the workingmen of America, which will_readily awaken their sympathy with and desire for a condition of international understanding, which shall_alleviate the death and distress which _war brings to their hou holds, Tam sorry to be obliged® to_confess that the practical side of this question has received but little of my attention, Iam re- minded too, that in the administration of governent difficulty often ariscs in_the at- tempt to carefully apply ideas which, in themselves, challenge unqualified_approval. Thus it may be that the friends of interna- tional arbitration will not be able at once to secure the adoption, in its whole extent, of their humane and benificent scheme. ut, surely, great progress should be made by sincere and hearty effort. I promise you faithful and careful consideration ° of the matter; and I believe Imay speak for the American people in giving the assurance that they desire to see the killing of men for the_accomplishment of national ambition, abolished ; and that they w gladly hail the advent of y ful methods in the settle; nt of national disputes, so far as this is consisf tant with the defense and _protection of our country’s territory, and with the mainten- ance of our national honor when it affords shelter and repose for national integrity and personifics safety and the protection of our citizens, Candidates for Doorkeeper. WASHINGTON, € —[Special Telegrs to the Bre.]—There is o great deal of quict but effective worls in progress among friends of the various candidates for the doorkeeper- ship, and during the past week it is reported that the relative positions of several of the prominent ones have materially changed. Donclson s regarded us practically out of the race. He might have had a walk- over but, owing to his laxity in money mat- ters and the ecase with which he has antagonized many of his former friends he will have lit- tle chance and it is said now that his name will not be mentioned in the caucus. Major Hurt of Mississippi, at present employed in the postoftice department, has been looked upon as the most likely winner. But it is now said that Hurt has counections which will make it _exceedingly unwise to give him the place, There are serious objections to all the other candidates arising from various auses with one exception. This exception is Col. Platt B. Walker, of Minnesota, Ten days @ odds against Walker were 7 to 8. To his chances are thought to be about with improvements reported Walker will have the support of nd northwestern members al on account of his connection rts in behalf of the improvement Walker is said to have deal of strength in t sociates in the confed- my and others anxious to share the vhich attaches to the doorkeeper's cking towards him in order that they may be in at the divide. Walker may possibly get there after all, General Herbert on Postal WasHINGTON, Oct: 30.—[Special Telegram to the Ber:]— Gengral Herbert, of Ala bama, chiairman of the house committee on naval affairs, bas just returned from Europe, where he spent the summer, and gives cvi- dence’in an interview with & Critic . reporter da; westorn most to & ms with and eff of the w develope Telegraph. this evening of having been frightened with the power of foreign s@mernments over their subjects, He says he is opposed to postal telegraphy because he opposes an increase of federal power. He thinks it would result unfavorably to the people for the government to have exclusive control of the telegraph for the people, because there would be no compe- tition. neral Herbert's argument creates some merriment among the advocates of postal telegraphy. He concludes his ob- servations in this language: ‘“‘Jay Gould could not compete with the government, and he would be forced to sell out at a reasonable price. If we established a postal telegraph it would create at least 85,000 more office holders, and in less than two years the num- ber would be double. Just imagine what a force that would give the party in power, Then again, saying that the government should take ' the telegravhs, the next step would be to control the railroads. Tt is this policy in France that prevents that republic from being s republic in the true meaning of the word. The policy of the government in controlling the telegraphs, railroads, sub- sidizing opera houses, pre art, etc., is the legacy left the French people by Louis XIV. We must keep our individuality, and 1o do that, we must guard against every in- sc of power to the government. The 't will be an interesting one this w ter and will provoke a great deal of di cussion, Much can be said on both sides.” Army News. WasINGTON, Oct. 81—[Special Telogram to the Ber.]—General Sheridan, who has just returned from an inspection of the post ab Fort Snelling, which is to be enlarged to accommodate troops from some smaller west- ern posts, gave his personal attention to the Crow Indian troubles.

Uneasiness About Secretary Whitney WASHINGTON, Oct, 81.—(Special Telegram to the B here has been a good deal of nervousness to-day in official circles concern- ing the condition of Secretary Whitney, who is ill at his home in New York, and the inten- tions of that ofticial. ‘This morning it was ported that he had tendered his resignation, giving his illness as his excuse for desiring to rative from the cabinet, when in fact he had become discouraged over the outlook of his chief for re-election, and #esired to be free at the approaching convention to stand for the nomination himself or work for another as- pirant than the present president.

A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH. How Mary Shuman Was Initiated Into the Naked Orgics of a Wiscon- sin Dance House—Her Flight. A Frightful Tale. Dereri, Minn, Oct. 81.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bek.]—Mary Shuman, seventeen years old, arrived from the cast about noon to-day. She tells a pitiful story of being in- viegled into one of the dance houses near Hurley as follows: Her home is near Streetor, 111, and some time ago she received a letter from a former friend advising her to come to Chicago, where she could obtain immediate employment. She arrived there on Monday, October 24, but missed her friend. At the depot she found a man who said he knew where her friend was and would find her. He took the girl to a small hotel, and in the course of the day returned with a bogus dis- pateh reading: “Have gone to Hurley. Fo low me; good place in restaurant.” Miss Schuman left for Hurley and arrived there Wednesday about 6 o'clock in the evening and was met at the depot by a man who said_he was sent to meet her. She got into a light delivery wagon and says she was driven about a mile, crossing a small bridge and stopping in front of a long story and a half house, unpainted, Another man held the horse, and the man who drove her helped her into a room, which was quite large and uncarpeted. As he opened the door he ex- claimed, *More fresh fish.” The girl stood still for a moment, when a man without a coaton and in a checked shirt came up, shook hands and sa ‘our friend will be here soon. Come into the sitting room.” There were seven young girls in the sitting room and two older ones, The latter, and one of the former, including the man with the checked shirt, went with her through the door in the back of the room. She was shown into a small side room where the entire party fell upon her and stripped her of © of clothes, including shoes and She begged them to let her go, d at her and led her, entirely naked, into the front room, where six or seven men were and the girls already spoken of. She was approached by the men, who patted her with their hands, pinched her, and took other undue liberties, and was forced to drink beer. Aftera few ‘moments the pro- prietor, called “Frank,” and & man not known, got into a secming quarrel over the girl, when the latter approached her and id, ““Come, my dear, D'l get your clothes,” and took off his coat and threw it over the girl's shoulders, and led her from the room her into same room_where her clothes had been taken away. He took off the coat and threw the girl on the lounge and forcibly outraged her, and was followed in this piece of fiendishness by two other men, whose names are unknown, except that one had a large soar running down the side of his face under his neck. When the men left her several girls came in and told her she had been “initiated” and must Set.up the drinks. The oldest woman in the house gave hex her shoes and stockings back, together with 4 Bhort dress and skirt. Miss Schuman feigned to be pleased with the surroundings and told the girls as soon u8 she got rested from her journey she would be a8 lively as any of them, and she was allowed to sleep unmoiested for the whole of Wednes- day night, after being subjected to several indignitics worse than any yet described. The proprietor turned her and all the other girls out of bed at 11 o'clock the next morning, but during the afternoon, in passing through a hallway at the rear of the house, Mary saw several picces of clothing (not hers), Which she hid near an_outhouse, On Thursday night she was outraged by three men, one of whom was the man with scar on his face of the previous night. She was obliged to lie in bed with two drunken men all night. Friday she got some more clothes and a dress, in the pocket of which was 30 cents, and about 9 o'clock in the ing made her escape.
