SRS b RN S R : THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, APRIL 20. 1888, WILL DAKOTA BE DIVIDED. Passage of the Bill Admitting the Southern Portion. A STUBBORN PARTISAN FIGHT. The Bourbons Maintain Their Opposi- tion to the Last—Vest Cornered By Allison-The Indian Appropriation Bl Senate. WasmisaTox, April 19.—At the conclusion of the morning session the senate took up the Dakota bill and Mr. Plumb took the floor in its support. Mr. Hoar offered a resolution, which was referred to the committee on foreign rela- tions, providing that the official reporter shall be admitted to report the debates and proceedings of the senate when the fisherics treaties shall be under consideration, the re- port. or'such part of it as may not require secrecy, o be published if the senate shall 80 order. The senate then resumed the consideration of the bill for the admission of the state of South Dakota and was addressed by Mr. Plumb in support of the bill. He contrasted the small votes in the southern states with . the vote of Dakota and said very few of them had cast as wmany votes at any election within the last flve years as the territory of Dakota had in 1886, 1If it was was e quality of the people of Dakota, that the senator from Missouri (Vest) ob- jected to,then he (Plumb) declared they were afair representative of the Anglo-Saxon character on this continent, He had yet to learn that any man in Dakota had ever been deprived by direction or indirection of his right to vote. Coming down to to the state of Alabamahe contrasted the tables of taxation in that state to show that the assessed value of guns, pistols and dirks were four times greater o that of farming tools and agricultural imple- ments, arid yet he said Mr. Vest did not ob- jéct to'a representation of Alabama in the senate or house, but was willing to meet on a plan of equality. For himself he did not care as to the politics of any territories ap- plying for admission. He would vote for the admission of Montana or Washing- ton—democratic though thoy were—be- cause he belicved the ~power and perpetuity of the repeblic depended upon.the equal - association of all the people of the United States subdivided within the limits of the state, each one taking care of its own local concerns, and _each contributing of its advice, its council, its wealth and power to the progress of the United States in their national capacity. Mr. Allison _addressed the sonato in sup- rt of tho bill. Ho agreed with est that the question was : The attitude of the democratic party in both houses on this subject was an attitude of non-action. He believed South Dakota should now be admitted and that North Da- kota should also be admitted as a state. He should be glad to vote this session for the ad- mission of North Dakota. In respouse to the questions from M. Allison as to whether the democratic party, 88 a political organization, would vote to-day for the admission of Daltota as a_whole Mr, Vest said that he did not think that there werc any of his colleagues who would not, although they had not held any caucus. Mr. Allison said the action of the democratic party as represented on the committee on territories in both house and senate, showed its policy on this subject. The idea was to tamper with the question until the presiden- tial election of 1558 shall have passed away and if the political exigencies of the future required it, the democratic party would con- tinue to play the same fame. If the demo- cratic partyswanted the state of Dakota, un- divided, why did it mot whenever it had ywer, present a bill for that purpose! He imself would hesitate long before he would be willing to admit Dakota as a single state but he would join with senators for the ad- mission of Montana. Mr, Butler cougratulated the senate that the discussion had got baok to the real issue and thanked Mr. Allison for having discussed the question from the standpoint of a states- man. He protested against the recent charges and aspersions against the southern states and said if this were an occasion to go into ancient history he could resurect in the southern states the shameful parodies on government that had onee been set up there by senators now denouncing these states. The dobate then reverted once more to the question of outrages and mtimidations in the south. Messrs. Call, Berry, Hoar, Edmunds, Sherman and ipated in the dis- cussion, which was at times quite exciting, The senate finally came to o vote on the sub- stitute for the Dakota bill which was de- featod 3, nays 26,—and the bill itself was _passcd—y nays 23—by a strict party vote.

Kansas City's Union Depot Unable to Care For Apphicants. Kaxsas Crrt, Mo., Aprit 19.—(Special Tel egram to the Ber.|—The union depot direc- tors held an important meeting in the Fort Scott & Gulf building this ‘morning. The full board was present. Thoe object was to discuss means for procaring additional track room to accommodate some of the roads which are now elamoring for depot facilities, The petitions of ‘the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Wyandotte & Northwostern, the Chicago, Santa F'é & California, the Chi- ®ugo, Kansas & Nebraska and tho Kansas City Southern railways for admission to the union depot wero taken up. The president of the Union Depot company, General Nettle- ton, stated he had heard nothing from the Hannibal oficials, and the project of secur- ing additional track room from that company was still in stata quo. The Hannibal ofiicials Inst January had signified their willingness to meet the union depot directors and talk over the matter, but the meeting had never been held. So far @s_present appearances were con- cerned no adaitional track room was obtain- able. The subjoct of socuring ground and building another depot to be run in connec- t.on with the union depot was discussed but no action was taken. It was the general sen- timent of the company that it would be im- possible for them to abandon their present quarters, as in that case the property, which was condemnod for depot purposes, would revert to the original heirs. As a makeshift it was decided to rearrange the tracks on the present depott grounds in such a manner as 10 mako two more tracks. Theso extra tracks will be given to the Chicago, Kansas & Nobraskn rond (Rock Island) and the Santa Fe's Chicago extension. ““We have decidod,” said General Nettlo- ton, “to rearrange the tracks so_as to accom- modate the roads already in the depot. I moan the Rock Island, which wants track room for its Kansas ronds, and the Santa Fo, which needs a place for'its Chicago exten: sion." ““You will not let tho St. Paul rond come in 1" “We can give accommodations to no new roads.” In this dilemma the Chicago, Milsvaukee & St. Peul road will probably depend on the south endedepot for terminal facilities. The depot now designed by this company to be erected at Twenty-first street and Grand ave- nue will be ampie to_accommodate passenger traffic. If they continue to transfer passen- gers free toghe union depot it is not thought the company will suffer much by not getting terminal facilities there, g FROM PULPIT TO COURT. Preacher-Tragedian Miln's Wife Sues Him For Divorce. Crcaco, April 19.—[Special Telegram to the BEE.|—A fow years ago Mrs. George C. Miln was the wife of one of the most promi- nent and prosperous Unitarian clergymen in Chicago. Mr. Miln succeeded Robert Collier as pastor of Unity church when that divine was called to Brooklyn. Unity church is situated on Dearborn avenue in one of the most fashionable neighborhoods in town. Mr. Miln had a large congregation, a salary of $7,000 per year, and a parsonage, but he left them all for the stage. There was the greatest excitement in Unitarian circles, and in fact in all circles here, when he announced this determin: tion. When he made his first appearance as Hamlet, and all during the first week of his first cngagement, the theater where he played was packed to the doors, but curiosity was soon satisied_and Miln Almost forgotten and Mrs. Miln catirely s0. To-day, however, she appeared before Judge Jamicson and asked for a divorce from her husband charging him with adultery with Louise M, Latham, a member of his company. Mrs. Miln testificd that she was warried in New J in 1872, She and her husband came to Chicage seven years ago and lived together until last October. They have three children. While Mrs. Miln was giving her testimony tears came to her cyes. Judge Jamieson asked, “Have you ever had anyconversation with Mr. Miln in relation to the alleged acts of infidelity “Yes, repeatedly.” “Well, did you not have a par versation with him in September lawyer. “1did. Ihad accused him repeatedly of infidelity, and he always denied it. On this occasion | T mentioned a particular lady's name and he said she was_innocent.

MixxeArorts, April 19.—[Spocial Tele- gram to the Begr.]—The Minneapolis ball players were unable to withstand the subtle influence of O'Connell’s voice to-day, and for eight innings it looked as though Omaha would be revenged for the shut out of yestel day. But in the ninth inning a lucky bunch- ing of three hits, of which one was for two bases, and a wild pitch by Healoy, gave them three runs, Minneapolis put young Rhese, of the state university, in the box for the first five innings, and had he recoived decent support he would have made a fine ‘showing. Omaha made one run in the second mning on a base on balls, the runner took sec- ond on a wild pitch and came home on Doran's single. ‘“See if you can knock a leg off Robinson over here,’ yelled O'Connell from the third base coach line to Burns, who was first at*bat in the fourth inning, Burns tried hard, but the best he could do was to send an easy grounder to him, which Robinson fumbled, and the runner reached first. Burns immediately stole second, while Sowders waited and was rewarded by gotting first on balls, Annis repeated Burns' experiment in the direction of Robinson, and the lat- ter_gracefully fumbled the ball agam, O'Connell brushed an icicle off his eyebrow and looked hard at Rhese as he took his pos- ition at bat. He got one where he wanted it, sending Burns and Sowders across the plate, and himself and Annis crossed it shortly afterwards on_an out and another error by Robinson. Burns scored twice more for Omaha, once in the fourth inning and once in the sixth, getting first baso each it on a hit. Parsons, Minneapolis' gilt-cdged twirler, pitched the last three inmings, and aside from his wildness, did good work.

Davrox, 0., April 19.—[Special Telegram to the Bre.]—The following is the full toxt of the platform of the republican party of Ohio in convention assembled : Reaffirming the platform of 1887, adopted at Toledo, it presents the foilowing addi tional declarations: “A free and untrammelod suffrage lies at the foundation of the republic and its re storation by every constitutional means in the states where it has been overthrown or impaired,-and its maintenance everywhere, is our settled and determined purpose. We denounce the democratic party for its nullif- catfon of the war amendments to the consti- tution, whereby the republicans of the south are practically denied a voico in the govern- ment of the nation, and the power of the democrats of that ~action is unlawfully augmented. We charge that the democratic party is now in the injoyment of power con- fessedly procured by the unlawful suppres- sion of the franchise in the southern states We affirm that in accepting of the power thus secured, the apparent purpose of tho party to continue the methods mentioned and its shameless defense of the criminals who in the states of Maine, Illiois, Indiana and Ohio have sought to stifilo the popular will by frauds and forgeries, justify us in charging that it has practically become, in a national sense, an organized _conspiracy against free und fair elections. In view of these facts, and believing that to deprive the legally qualified voter of his franchise or to impair public confidence in the fairness of is to weaken and ultimately do- institutions, we call upon the patriotic citizens of Ohio to rebuke the party responsible for these crimes against suffrage, and we demand of congress that in the exer- cise of its constitutional authority it enact such laws as will insure freedom and fair- ness i the election of representatives to congress.

There was little comparison to be made be- tween the production of both pieces. Last night solos, duos, trios, chornses, everything wus admirably exccuted. There was life, vigor, animation and_action in the last men- tioned feature, which were time and again applauded.

Drxver, April 19.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.]—The supreme court this morning reversed the verdiet of guilty against John B. Kearney of Aspen, who was convicted of killing Joseph J. Burt in October last. The testimony in the casc -was that these men were engaged in a game of cards ata saloon in Aspen on tho date of the killing. Kearney won $10 which Burt had bet but re- fused to pay. He claimed that as he had simply given his word the bet would not 0, as no money had been put up, except the $10 in cash which Kearney had laid down, Both_men were intoxicated. The dispute ended in a quarrel in_which Kearney pulled out his revolver and shot Burt as he stood by the by the bar. The bullet entered Burt's head and split on the skull, one half of the bullet lodging in the back part of the brain and the other passiug straight through the slnll and embedding itself in the ceiling of saloon.

A Fair Amount of Busincss Done in Corn—Oats Dull — Provisions Strong With Very Active Trading in Lard. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. April 19.—[Special Telegram May wheat opened this morm- ing at S04¢c, which was iyc under yestorday's closing price, sold up to $0%c, then sold down 10 70igc, and within an hour had advanced to 80igc, and before the session closed to 813¢c. Nobody could complain of inaction in such a market. Hutchinson was @ tremendous seller of wheat at the start, and some of the brokers of tho big bears were voclferously Cnieaao, to the Bre.] hammermg the market. The local longs could hardly have been more unanimous in their rush to sell if they had held a caucus over night and decided that thoe late bull movement was a delusion and a snare and that the best thing to do was to let go. A drop to S0c for May was easily brought about in this way, and at that point commis- sion men had a host of stop orders and hur- ried to execute them. The price fell to 70lgc like a shot with very large trading and much excitement, prices being sometimes 1{c apart in different parts of the pit at the same time. Large blocks of wheat were thrown out and were absorbed, and when that was dono the reaction was almost as “sud- den as the decline had been. It was noticed that the heaviest buyers were some men who were hammering early and it did not take the crowd long to realizo that the break had been manufactured to bring out long wheat, which would enable raiders to buy at a low price. It looked that way and then there was a revulsion of senti- ment, the local crowd covering their shorts rapidly and putting the price with but small halts, to botween 801@S0k¢c for May, The market hung for some time without much trading, when suddenly another up- ward movement started which carried tho price to S13{c with scureely any reaction and and S1i{c was the price at the 1 o'elock close, The crop reports received were quito as bad as any previous ones, aud in addition thero were reports to<day of ravages of chinch bugs in IKansas and of great areas of wintor wheat being plowed up in consoquence. - Re- ports of cold weather and snow storms in tho rortheast also wade a bad outlook for spring wheat seeding. The corn market was steady early on less receipts than were expected, but later seemed to be mfluenced by the course of the wheat market, except that fluctuations were wuch narrower. The volume of busine: pared with some recent da small. The same buyers who been taking corn for iweeks past were on the same side to-day, and there was not much animation to the market. There was a sharp decline in New York, followed by o partial vecovery, and cables were unfavora- ble on corn. Liarge estimates for to-morrow caused a decline late in the session, but this was all recovered before the close, when wheat showed such extraordinary strength. May corn_opencd at 553e, sold up to 5h)e, down to b, then up 1o b6e, back td 6550 and up to H6c again, which was the price at the 1 o'clock close.

"I'he speculative oats market was extremely dull during all the carly part of the session, but later showed some. life and advanced in sympathy with the other grain markets.

In the cash product there was something of a falling off in the movement, but speculation was active throughout the day. In the trading, how- ever, lard overshadowed in interest pork and short ribs, though the latter were bought and sold freely.
