{ { { THE OMAHA DAIL BARNUM HIS BITTER ENEMY. Cleveland Can't Count on the Wooden Nutmeg Politician. HAS A FIRM FRIEND IN SCOTT. A Democratic Organ Declares Itself Displeased With the resident's Free Trade Policy—Sympathy For Senator Hawley. The Chairman Will Fight Him, WASHINGTOX IBUREAU THE OMATIA mr,} 13 FOURTEENTI STREET, Wasmixaros, D. C.. April 15, There is a report in circulation in Wash- {ngton to the effect that Chairman Barnum, of Connecticut, is very bitterly opposed to a renomination of Cleveland, and that if the present plans are carried out at St. Louis, the “seven more mules” politician will find it convenient to be too buey during the cam- paign to be of any assistance. President Cleveland has overlooked Mr. Barnum, as he has about all the other active democrats, in the matter of giving out the spoils, and the Connecticut boss has not been consulted wuch about anything, But this is not his reason for opposing n continuance of the present administration. Barnum is. a pro- tectionist. He is interested in manufactur- ing and wants the tariff maiotained on im- ports. He does not subscribe to fany feature of the yresident’s last message, and says it will lose all New England and probably New York to the democratic party. He, as chairman of the national com mittee in 1880 and 1584, studiously suppressed OMAHA, MONDAY__MORNING, APRIL 16, 1888, object of very persistent_and skillful efforts by certain Roman Catholies to induce her to enlist under the banner of the pope and they are making some progress and are very hop ful of ultimate success.

"The following changes are ordered in the stations and duties of officers of tho medical department: Captain William H. Austin, o sistant surgeon, rehieved from duty at Fort Niagara, N. Y., to take cffect on_the expira. ariff publications and endeavored to make the fight on purely personal grounds. Con- necticut is rampunt in opposition to the Mills bill, and democrats in Washington are won- dering if they can do anything to lead M Barnum to support Mr. Cleveland after the £t Louls convention, 1t is conceded that Representative William L. Scott, of Penusylvania, will be chairman of the democratic national committee, Scott is a millonare and can raisc more money for campaign purposes than any man in the party. He is a member of the house commit- teo on ways and means, is enthusiastically in favor of the Mills bill, which it is understood Tie largely composed, and is held responsible for many of the extreme tariff reform utter- ances of the president in his last message to congress. Scott has had an expericnce of three campaigns, He was one of Tilden's most trusted advisors, and one of the few who, in 1876, was ready to inaugurate a dem- ocratic president at all hazards. Tn 1850 ho rave liberally of his time and means to the Hancock campaign, and in 1834 he did the same for Cleveland, He is the head and front of the Pennsy ania revenue reform wing of the party, and is making the fight there for Cleveland that he made in 1850 for Tilden. In 1880 Barnum and Randall were his allies; now Randall is his opponent. He seems to have gathered an experience which equips him better for a state fight. Secott is levying a determined warfare on all democ in his state who do not support the Mills bill, and declares that all the demo nembers from Penn sylvanin, except Randall and Sowden, will vote for it. He is preparing to make @ des- perate effort to defeat Sowden, who was the only democrat wi st week refused to be boiind by the caueus action and vote to ad fourn tho house aud defeat tho direet, tx ill. Scott’s men say Sowden has an ulterior purpose in_acting independent in this in- stance. By the terms of the recent bill re- districting” the state of Pennsylvama, Sowden's county is thrown into Ropresentative Ermentrout’s district, The latter will be nominated, and Sowden, 1t is said, will run as an_independ: nt demoerat and have the republicans make no noin tion. Ermentrout voted against consideration of the Morrison bill in the last congress and is now for the Mills bill, being driven into line by Scott, and it remains to be seen whether his action will b endorsed by his coustitucnts. UEPUBLICAN CALCULATIONS, Among the oldest and most reliable demo. eratic organs in Washington is the Sunday it It has swallowed everything Presi dent Clovelund has given out and declared it was good, till the tariff messaze went to co gress, This it held 1o bo destructive, Here is one of its observations to-day: *“There is no blinking the fact that the republicans a much more hopeful than they were prior to the president’s tarifl message. Before that they were in the dumps; now they are hope: ful und some of them even sangine of suc ess, These hopes are based mainly upon the act that the so-called leaders of the demo. tie phalanx in New Jersey and Connecticut 10t in_8) by with” the administra- s tarifl policy and upon alleged di feetion in New York. 'The republicans hope 10 utilize the protective tavift f among the laboring clement of these states, while they expect luke-warm work from the demo- cratic leaders in New Jersey and Connecticut and a democratio contingent from the disap- Jointed in New York. Of the men who iolped to carry New York, Manuing, the recognized state leader, is dead; Hubert O, Thowpson, who wielded one wing of the New York democrats, and John Kelly, who brought the Tammany contingent 10 the polls, arc all gone, Who are competent to take their placesi and who can be relied upon in Counccticut and New Jersey to do the work with zeal and heart! Already the vepublicans are making their caleulutions eleeting their presidont with the aid of ow Jerscy, Connecticut and Indiana, with: outthe vote of New York, although they Bope to carry that state also.” VAWLEY AND TIE AMERICAN EXCIANGE, Senutor Hawley's friends very much la. ment his connection with the American Ex- change in Burope. Tho democrats generally are boasting that it takes him out of the line of presidential possibilities and will relegato him to private life His personal friends in Doth partics, however, declarc that it will not injure him and a telegram has been re. ceivod from an influential citizen of IHart ford, n., suyimg that although nearly $100.000 of 'the "stock is k ere and was bought beeause Senator Hawloy was the president of the American Exchange, no o holds him respousible, even for neglect.

CrestoN, April 15.—[Special to the Bee.] ~ A serious head end collision on the main Jine of the Q" occurred at 4:20 this morn ing, about amile west of the city, between the west bound mail and express No. 5 and the sixth section of freight No. 12 east bound. C. A. Shoot, fireman on the freight, was killed, and a brakeman named Henry Gib- bons had a leg crushed, which has since been amputated. J. M. Osborn, engineer of the freight, was slightly injured on the leg, and L. J. Miller, a brakeman, was internally in- jured. ‘The trains met on a sharp curve, the en- gine of the passenger train and front mail car having just crossed a bridge. The en gincer had barely time to apply the air brake before jumping, and not a single coach left the track. Both engines and one mail car rolled down a fifteen foot embankment, the mail car landing on its back, Four postal clerks were at work in the car, and were covered over with piles of mail sucks that at once took fire from breaking lamps. An ax was handed them, and they were soon relcased uninjured. The fire quickly spread to the storage car that stood on the bridge, and before the city fire depart- ment could reach the scenc und get hose cnough to the mail cars and the bridge, wero in flames. The upper portion of the bridge was _burned away, but the piling wi aved and a new bridge was under con- struction in less than a half hour. Both mail cars, the white cars used by the fast mail, werd totally destroyed and both engines appear to be utterly uscless, The responsibility for the accident is s 1o reston the conductor of the freight who hould have racked at Cromwell. It is said that he had been fifty-four hours with- out sleep and had fallen dsleep at the station.

A Philadelphia Collision, Wasinsaros, April 15.—The train which left New York on the Pennsylvania road at 12:30 this morning was wrecked by a collision with an engine in the Philadelphia yard. The enginecr and fireman and several passengers were badly bruised. The collision oceurred on the elevated tracks in the Philadelphia yard, and was caused by a misapprehension of the cngineer of the hght engine, who understood the passengzer train had gone by and started out on the main track. Both engines and four passengrer ears were turned over and by smashed, None of those injured are dangerous condition, Indefinite Information. Sax Fraxcisco, April 15.-F. D. Black, representing K. J. Baldwin's stables, tele graphed to Albuquerque late last night to learn if there was any truth in the reported accident. The reply from the operator says there is no truth in it.

GLADSTONE WIDE AWAKE The Liberal Revolt Stirs Him to Re- newed Activity. LOYALTY OF THE PARNELLITES. It Remains Firm in Spite of the 1 patience Manifested By Other Professed Followers of the Venerable Statesman, Will Not Resign. [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxpoN, April 15.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.]—The new re- volt in the Gladstonian party has thus far had the effect of stimulating the vencrabie leader to greater zeal. The Gladstonians in their back scats could staud their miserable position no longer. Messages were conveyod to Mr. Gladstone conveying gentle hints and mild appeals. To these he paid no heed. The party had settled down upon him as it Qid in 1874 after his great defeat. Once more his thoughts turned towards theology. Unfortunately most of his followers take no interést in theology. They don’t even come to prayers, as Labby admitted the other night, except when they went to secure o scat. Therefore they tried to drag their leader down from the clouds and to make him understand that Smith 1s the man he should be after instead of confusing his mind with speculations on the fall of man, I believe the Parnellites took little part in this grand remonstrance. In no way do they seck to bring a pressure upon M. Gladstone. Their respect for his opinions and anxicty to spare him mconvenience are touching to wit- ness. The English radicals are not so con siderate. They felt the time had come to push their leader on. Mr. Gladstone re- ceived the message meekly, and instead of resigning he is once more buckling on his armour. Five more liberal unionists hav undoubtedly gone back to the old man, and it is believed six others have managed to seram ble to the top of the fence, preparatory to dropping down into the true fold. That be ingso the Gladstonians do not to-day talk quite so much of making up their differences with Hartington's followers. - Once more they are hopeful of winning back a sufticient number of wanderers to jeopardize the gov- ernment. Let it be plainly understood that o large section of radicals, and all the Parnell ites would adopt almost any course in prefe ence to making any compromise with Cham berlafu. They look upon him s the prime of all their misfortunes, and never to denounce him as a traitor. Harting- ton is not peculiarly objectionable, and no- body bears much animosity towards Bright, who, moreover, m this house is no longer a live combatant. Chamberlain is one man who can never be forgiven. Iam bound to add that e shows not the slightest disposi- tion to seck forgiveness. The week then ends with move life in it than any of us anticipated. There is clearly a good chunce fora row and that is some thing. We are getting tired of this peaceful monotony. No Dr. Tanner, who is on his honeymoon, no obstruction, no bad languag no allnight sittings, o cloture even. 1f this oes on much longer we shall bogin to faney we are once more a respectable legislative body. The real sport will begin when the resolution is introduced demanding local government for Ireland. Most of us are pledgged to concede that we will, most of us, vote for it. That is a poser. Your duty on the government side is to vote ulways and often for the ministry. 1f on the other, vote with yourleaders. The people who think and vote on strictly conscientious grounds are few or what would become of party govern- ment. Therefore when local reforms for Ire- land are asked for many will say it is too soon and Hartington has alrcady plainly the cue will or the ery. The tories gener- 10 as they are told. A fow union- ts may bolt, but bolters never domuch good or themselves in any country. Shut your eyes and let the wire pullers guide you where they emolumc is the ts, hon et road to oftice, s--perhaps to a peerage, and T expect to see many take it when land presents herself once more at the bar of the honse and again her melancholy question rings in our do for met” “What A Meypen are you going to PARLIAMENT.

April 15.—[Shec the Bee.]—Replying to an address signed by twenty-cight, members of the Middlothian executive council of the liberal-unionist asso- ciation, Gladstone complains of a misrepr ntation of his statc mai that on all of the points which emies, 1l Cablegram to lents and upon they ked a fuller exposition of his views his pub lie speeches have been most explicit.

It will certamly be utilized by the emperor's cnemies as fore- showing an English, anti-Russian keynote to Germany's foreign policy. Bismarck delights at times in playing to the gallery and is anx- ious to counteract the bad impression already created by having thrown overboard all the traditions of German loyalty and even Gor man chivalry by weaning away tho heart of the emperor's eldest son and attacking fiorcely his almost dying father. Inthis su- preme contest Bismarck's potent allies are cancer and the crown prince. It is Bismarck and absolutism against con- stitutional sovereigty and representative gov- ernment. In this impossible vortex of ter- rible anxioty all Berlin has been plunged for the last forty-cight hours by conflicting ru mors from the imperial bedside. As I write this dispatch in the reading room of tho Kaiserhof hotel wild reports come flying about like falling leaves in an autumn gale. “The emperor is dying.” “The emperor is dead.”! Then several minutes later “Mackenzic has again changed the tube and still hopes.” Then a well-known bauker enters the hotel and whispers, “The emperor is dead.” Then later : “The emperor still lives.” Premier Floquet Speaks, Pams, April 15.—[Special Cablegram to the Bee.]—Figarro and other journals deny that Mackay has been supplying Boulunger with funds for his political campaign. Premier Floguet presided at tho annual meeting of the commercial union in Tro- cader. Six thousand persons wero present. Floquet, in a specch, declared that the sole guarantee for civil liberty was political lib- erty. Republican France needed neither a Protector in time of peace or a dircetor in time of war, if the necessity of defending her honor forced her to take up arms. “We want no one,” he contin- ucd, “because mow in peace we have republican institutions after seventeen years of exertion, strife and perseverance. 1n the cventof war we have skilled and valiant generals who will loyally obey the pubic powers, and a citizen’sarmy, the flower of the nation, far which you all feel solicitude and which enjoys such popularity among you. It is a republic of liberty which has decided to celebrate the centennary of 1780 by holding a universal exhibition. In order to make the fostival complete let concord be restored among us and let us remain a people master of its own destinies.” The speech ceived with great applaus was re Boulanger Has a Walkaway. Pauts, April 15.—In the clection to-day for the department of Nord, Boulanger received 172,32 votes, Foucart 75,181, and Morean G43.
