s IS S IS AL A B e OMAHA DAILY BEE JRSDAY. MAY 17, 1888 PROFITS OF BEEY PRODUCERS. A Senate Committee to Investigate the Subject. NEW TURN IN THE TARIFF FIGHT. Pr. Mills Submits a Proposition Look« ing Toward an Abrapt Terminas - tion of the Debate—Mili- tary Legislation. To Look Into the WASHINGTOS BUREAU 1 FOURTEENTH STREET, Wasiisarox, D. C., May 16, Without a dissenting voice the senate to- day adopted the resolution of Mr. Vest, of Missouri, creating a committee of five sena- tors' to employ a stenographer, summon and examine witnesses, and enter into a thorough investigation of Yhe transactions of the beef producing establishments of Chicago, etc., and their relations with transportation com- panies, The questions to be looked into— whether there there are combinations, pools, trusts, ete., for the control of the cattle and beef markets—are of the highest interest to the people of Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado and the great west gencrally, The committee will make the investigation during the sum- mer and fall, after the rccess of congress, and submit its report to the senate when it reconvenes next December. During the debate on the resolution to-day 10 opposition was doveloped, but several sen- ators placed themselves on record on the sub- ject and gave some valuable information for the enlightenment and direction of the com- mittee when it begins its work. Senator Manderson spoke cordially in support of the resolution and gave some interesting figure: and facts bearing on the subject and arguing in favorof the proposed investigation. He showed that the average cost of a 1,200 pound steer brought to market from the various ranges was 36,72 for the last year, He was Qnable_to see where the combination on gattle existed, but that there is some sort of & combination, some artificial and objection gble thing, whatever may be its character, he .did mot doubt. He showed that five beef packers in Chicago last year slaughtered 1,821,407 head of beeves that they yielded about §35 a head to the producer and $03 a head to the packers. Ho was inclined to ac- cept the statement by Mr. Vest that the rail- roads favor the Chicago packers to the disad- vantage of those in other cities. Mr. Man- derson thought the packing and canning should be done near the corn centers where the beoves are raised, about the cities of Omaha, Kansas City, Sioux City, Atchison, ete., the legitimate places for the business. He regarded the fact of a clear net profit to the packer of $30 a_head, and the fact that nearly ull the packing being confined to Chi- cago, a8 unjust and unnatural, and he wanted an inquiry made into the cause of it. The profits of five leading Chicago _beef packers st year were shown to be #5404 cording to the best obtamable statistics. 18 very probable that Mr. Manderson will be one of the committee that will make this in- vestigation, A NEW TURN IN THE TARIFF FIGHT. Conslderable agitation around the capitol was created this morning when it became known that Chairman Mills had submitted a proposition to Messrs. Reed and MeKinley, the republican members of the committee on ways and means, looking toward an abrupt termination of the tariff fight. The proposi- tion wus that at the end of general debate, on Sawrday, the democrats would permit the republicans to put the Mills bill on its,p age without any further debate, doing ‘awny with the six or eight weeks of discuss over amendments which are to be or have been proposed, the democrats allowing the republicuns to first move to strike out all after the enacting clause and substitute the republican measure, which 1s now in the hands of Mr. McKinley, and if this motion should fail, the democrats then being permitted to secure a vote, far and square, on the Mills bill as it now stands. Mr. Mills further proposed, in the cvent his proposition is accepted, to extend the general debate now progressing three or four days, or more if desired. Al though the proposition was made last weelcan answer iud not this evening been made, aud one is not_expected before I'riday or Saturday, the republicans being engaged in a canvass of not only their side of the ouse but the republican branch of the enate. Mr. Mills says there can be 1o good reason offered for wasting the time debate under the five minute rule will consume, He said vening that the democrats after months k and conference had prepared a bill which received practically the unanimous endorsement of the party and on which they were willing to stand or fall dur ing the approaching campaign. The re- publicans have also a party measure which they propose to try to substitute. What, then, was the sense in going into the houso and wranghng for months over every con- celvable amendment, , the result of “which would perhaps be the mutilation of the meas ure by jayhawkers on either side. Ho thought it not only party wisdom, but econo- i policy to stop whera they are_and make the end summary and decisive. He declared that he was confldent of holding his party to- gether, voting down or accepting only such amendments as his party desires, “The republicans are divided as to the best thing to be done. Senator Allison, who is chairman of the special sub-committee of the senato committee on finance, designated yes terday to investigate the tariff question and report a substitute for the Mills bill, says the proposition will likely " be rcjocted; bat it is regarded by the republican as'an indication that the democrats fear th results of debate under the nute ru that the bill will likely be disfigured out of all its present shape and desyoil the author of his glory: that many republicans as well as democrats want amendients made to tho bill; and that it should not be condemned il it is ascertained if it cannot be so amended as to be a good measure. Other republican ser wrd the proposition in the same light, and while a majority of the republican representatives appear 10 f: it, thero is little doubt that it will be t np as arranged some days ago under the five mibute rule and subjected to amendments, The democrats will likely caucus again on Saturday night Should the Mills proposition be accepted there will be wiore escitement in legisiative cirgles during the coming week thau has been experienced in Washington for many years.

Pruky S, Hearn, plare e o baliin THE STRIKE IS NOT OFF. Proofs Presented That the B, & M. Is Misleading the Public. Ex-engineers and switchmen of the B. &M. system were at large last night posting in promiscious places in the vicinity of the union depot and in the néighborhood of that of the road from which they have retired a long and ably written circular entitled, To the public! The press reports declaring the Burlington strike off demied by the enginemen and switchmen.” The cir cular is signed committee,” and was read wherever posted by thousands of people who invariably gave their consent to the truthfulness of the assertions contained. By way of introduction the committee says that the officials of the Burlington, through the subsidized Chicago press, are endeavor- ing to mislead the public by declaring the strike off, and are telling the shippers and travelers that they are prepared to receive freight and passengers for all points. This the circular positively refutes, by stating that “the engineers, firemen and swvitchmen now in the employ of the company are in- efficient, incompetent and not qualified under circumstances to perform the duties that ing imposed upon them. This has been proven beyond a doubt by the investiga- tion of the railway commissioners of Illinois, Towa and Nebraska.” Quotations from the-reports of the commis- sioners are freely referred to, and the com- mittee state that the *‘scabs’ now in the em- ploy of the company have admitted under oath “‘that in cases of emergencies that are liable to happen every day, they would be at a loss to know what action to take, or what to do to protect the lives and property that is daily entrusted to their care. But on the contrary, in cases of accident, through their ignorance, serious accidents ‘might happen and the accidents which have been happe: ing on the Burlington since the old engine- men resigned has proven conclus without a doubt that the testimony ¥iven at these investigations was true, and that the ofticials should have removed their incom- petent men and thereby avoided a great many serious accidents which have resulted in the loss of life and property.” It is further maintained that these sameo roven and self-confessed incompetent bs'* are still in charge of the Burlington train: In conclusion the committee malke this im- passionate appeal : It would pay every shipper to inve: the coudition of things on the ‘Q." befor trusting his prope 10 the carc of a lot of inefiicient ‘scabs,’ who realize themsclves that they are not calculated to handle trains lhomicd with valuable property or human cings. **We do not wish to advise the public, but believe the people should know that the statements made by the Q officials, that they are prepared to handle all business tendered them, are wrong and made to mislead an in- nocent public, and we ask you, friends, to look well before you lean, and find out the truth or falsity of the statements circulated by a subsidized press before consigning ye freight to a scab road, manned by ineficient, incompetent enginemen, who are not re- sponsible for their own work. “The strike is not off, and the Burlington is not prepared to transact thewr business with speed and safety,” et L SP SOMEBODY STOLE THE And the Man Who Had Pounded Up. A horse and bugey belonging to Georgo Fleming, of the White Barn livery stable, was left tied Iast evening in front of Foley & Darst's saloon while the hirer of the r went inside to “sec a friend.” On returning shortly afterwards the only vestige he found of the outfit was the hitching strap, which was still tied, but had been cut a short dis- tance from the bits. Fleming was informed of the loss and was wild with fury over the affair, Hejumped on a horse and scoured the city for traces of the stolen rig and the thief. "He also pressed nearly the entire polico foree into service. The rig was finally found near the corner of Sixteenth and Chi- cago streets in possession of I.

Mr. Baker of New York Gives an Object Lesson. YESTERDAY'S TARIFF DEBATE. The Dreary Monotony of Speech Mak- ing Relieved By Some nters esting Features—Scott Calls Dalzell a Liar. House. WasnivaroN, May 16.—The house, after preliminary business, went into committee of the whole on the tariff. Mr. Baker of New York spoke against the bill. He wished to give the committee the benefit of an object lesson, and in order to do 80 produced three pairs of stockings, display- ing, he said, the colors of the American flag, which were manufactured in Rochester, and he invited the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Mills) to visit that ecity, promising to intro- duce him to the woolen factories, to face the hands that turned out these stockings by the thousand daily. He presented the stockings to the gentleman from Texas with the sug- gestion that he send the red ones to the pres- ident, the white ones to the speaker and that he keep the blue himself as typical of his own feelings at the end of the session when he beheld the defeat of his measure. Mr. Bound of Pennsylvania regarded the Mills bill asa long stride in the direction of freo trade and as the inauguration of a tariff policy which must eventually prove ruinous and disastrous to the many important industries in which his people were largely interested. Mr. Faraquhar of New York thought there was no fairness, justice or common sense in hayving the great commercial, tinancial and industrial questions of the country committed to the ways and means committee composed of eleven lawyers, one cotton planter and one railroad manager. Mr. Bayne of Pennsylvania criticized the president for not having permitted the house to formulate a proper bill for the revision of the tariff. Instead of doing this the presi- dent sent congress a message on the subject of tariff revision, which was without parallel in the history of the Awerican republic. No other president in any emergency ~ of the country had sent to the house a message 8o positive and 80 nearly indicating a line of policy on an economic question. The president had not only done that but it was smd that, through the influence of the administration exerted in numerous ways, the democratic nomina- tions in various districts had been controlled in the interest of the free trade policy. Presi- dent Cleveland had been elected on a straddling platform which meant protection in New York and free trade in the south. ‘Was it fair play that a president, elected on a straddling platform, shouid influence the house in fayor of free tradet Mr. Laird of Nebraska declared that the surplus policy of the administration had had a disastrous effect upon the farming of the country. Whether the origin of that policy 'was in ignorance, carelessness or mendacity, its culmination had_ its result in costing farmers millions mn additional to the interest charges on loans. He dwelt upon the dan- gers flowing from the surplus and announced his readiness to attack it at both ends by the just payment of the debt of the government and by the reduction of customs und internal taxes. He attacked the features of the Mills bill as being sectional and unfair and he ad- vised the preparation of fair and honest measures by the republican representatives. Let them formulate a bill which would do justice to the south and compel the south to do justice to the north and- west. It would reap its rd in the return to power of a with a policy big enough to compre- hend the interests of the country. So far as he could speak for his section, he declared that the west had wheat and corn and cattle for sale, but her interest in American pro- tection as a bulwark to American labor was not for sale. Mr. Weaver of Towa said the Mills bill was a fair and reasonable measure, He declared that the republican party was in flight and busy burning bridges and felling trees along the road over which the democratic party must advance for the relief of the people. He inveighed against the trusts and combina- “0“‘!1 which had grown up under a protective tariff. Mr. McRae of Arkansas described the country as suffering from an overdose of tariff stimulants and as being threatened with financial congestion, and Le advocated {J"‘F application of the remedy in the Mills ill, Mr., Ryan of Kausas said Cleveland's tariff message was his platform for the com- ¢ campaign.

Mr- Allen ventured the prediction that the biil would never be brought to. a vote, The bill was smothered and being smiothéred. Whether they would ever let in a little air it he did not kuow, but to'day it was in s of dissolution, Bynum—That statement is not frue, Mr. Allen took np notice of this remark and concluded his speech without fuether in- terruption. Mr. Dalzoll of Pennsylvania rose to correct, as he said, some gross misstatements that had been made on his district. He then pro< ceeded to visit some very severe strictures on the publie and priv ife of Congressman Scott. This brought akout arununing debate betwe Seott aud Dalzell in which the lie passed from Scott, who roundly denounced Dalzell, Mr. Bramm of Pennsylvanin also took a hand in the matter and claimed he could prove that Scott contributed to paying the coal and iron police in the coal regions. This charge Saott denied emphatically, chal- lenging Bruwm to prove it, and the latter promised he would. The committee then rose and took a recess unlil S o'o! wihen Mossrs.

A Carthage, Ill., special to the St. Louis Globe, May 9, says: Dr. William Boose, of Middle Creek, who attended Avthur Yates, the lad who died of hy- drophobin in that vicinity on the 20th ult., was in the city to-day for the first time since the event. He says that there were many remarkable s e that medical wor! to He said that the lad was taken violently ill at school on Wednes- 25, but yielded to treatment, complaining, however, of an unendur- able headache, He soon began to show signs of hydrophobia, but instead of the sight of water throwing him into convulsions or spasms, he called for and drank it. Between convulsions, in which two strong men were unable to hold him, the boy would be as tractable and rational as ever, so muchso that the parents were positive that their boy was out of danger and well. The wounds in the face caused by the dog’s teeth had healed nicely, and never changed color nor gave any pain. The lad in his lucid moments talked about the dog and his struggle with it in the forest, and said he knew he was suffering from hydro- phobia. The spasms were veculiar in themselves, and it seemed that the hoy was suffering from delirium tremens, He did not howl like a dog, nor snap at the attendants as was first authorita- tively reported, but red, in his ago- nies, to keep from biting or harming anyone around him, The last seven hours of his life were a succession of convulsions, and, as one force of men could not control him, the boy was placed in a straight-jacket. Boose says the horrible expression of the boy's countenance can not be por- trayed or deseribed. He thinks a more singular or more terrible death from this malady has never occurred. All the dogs in the eastern part of the county are being killed. One farmer hid his animal from the avengers, and the state board of health has ordered him to exterminate the dog under pen- alty. It is feared a large number of 1 l.~1nlwlc have been bitten, and the people live in a cofptunt state of alarm. peoy 158 High-Borté Panscuses.

TReYe have been often, for instance, ‘‘aristperatic ballets” in rance, and spectaclgs of the kind are in about to be pevived in one of the st houses in Hapis.

Yeosterday's Aftermath of the State Convention. A BULL IN THE PLATFORM, The Strange Complication Investi- gated, But Without Results—A Delegate who Was Locked Out—McShane's Plans. Deserted Hatls The rotundas of the hotels yesterda: presented a comparatively deserted aywea ance, hundreds of the delegates who } thronged them for the past few days Laving taken the early trains for home, BECHEL SCOOPED, As announced in yasterday’s Bee, in caucns held in the morning the Douglas delegation decided to support Councilman Bechel of this city as alternate to the national republi- can convention for John M. Thurston. At night in the state convention after the dele- gates had been elected, quite an amount of confusion ensued. Comparatively few paid at- tention to what was the next order of business everybody being seemingly engrossed in dis- cussing the elected favorites. In the midst of the inattention, Mr. Lambertson, of Lan- caster, arose and moved that Messrs. Palmer, of Cass; Boggs, of Washington; Hartman, of Lincoln, and Likes, of Hayes, be elected alternates. The motion was put and carried. The Douglas delegation discovered the mat- ter when it was too late. Bechel's name was left out and the Douglas people pro- ceeded metaphorically toapply boot leather to themselves. A DELEGATE WITHOUT A BED. Some people marvelledigreatly that Patrick Egan remained so long in the corridors of one of the local hotels and wondered whether it 'was occasioned by a desire to receive congrat- ulations which were about as numerous as political promises. The fact, however, is the gentleman was locked out of his roon The convention closed rather late, and before Mr. zan got through with his friends, the fif- teen other occupants of the gentleman’s room drew in the sixteenth and that locked out Mr. Egan, The sixteen put their heads together and decided to fall im- mediately asleep and leave no mere be- nighted dolegates to enter their apartment. They slept so soundly that a Chinese gong which was banged at the doos failed to dis- turb them, The snorers did not know who their deélegate fricnd was, and treated him as they had done the clerk, bell-boy and porter before. As a consequence Mr, Egan saw the daylight yvesterday long before the aver- age Omahan, his couch for thie nignt having been the soft seat of a cane rocker. FINANCE: The cost of the convention, rental of the opera house, pi incidentals was about #00. rmsed by subscription, the city central executive committee doing the collecting. One of the leading hotels of the city, which has been packed for three days, and the bar of which coined money, contributed to the fund the liberal sum of £10. Corresponding hotels in Lincoln would have_tripled this do- nation without a murmer. o r D said a citizen yesterday, “is a shame,” THAT TRUST. Some of Mr. Egan’s opponents remarked yesterday that they thought it was a significant fact, and one tending to show the tendency of Mr. E 's mind, that one of the first things he said in his speech was to re- turn thanks for the “trust,” the convention had placed in him. The opponent wanted to know whether it was the ‘‘elevator trust,” d to. DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLICAN PLATFORM, were a number of meetings held yes- the republican headquarters, one of which resulted in the appointwent of the following committea to inquire into the muddle in the platform: H.C. Russell, Schuyler; A. M. Robbins, Ord; R.S. Irvin, Omaha; John Nesbitt, North Platte and J. P. Hartman, Kearney. The muddle was occasioned by the following which is an extract from the democratic platform: ympathy for the wronged and oppressed of every land is avowed, and at this crisis in the affairs of the people of Ircland, hearty encouragement is oxpressed to them in their struggle for liberty and self government. Liheral pensions to disabled and needy vet- erans of the union army arc recommended to congress; but jobbery and favoritism, such as were exposed by President Cleveland’s veto measures, are emphatically condemned. For the best interests of all the people of the United tes, and their more harmonious cementing into a fraternal nation, sectional issues and the keeping alive of the hatreds of thie late civil war ave reprehended and denounced, None of these resolutions were read at convention, and how th J the | 1 them above s The m; ipt of the platform was give Mr. Gregory, city editor of the Republican, with the understanding that he would give proof to the other dailies. The manuseript was given to a me; boy to take to the Republican office. rther is known as to how the mixture was made. It was thought by the committee that somebody tampered " with the messenger boy and sub- stituted the democ planks for those pre viously ~adopted by the convention. The niatter hus oceasioned much annoy: The committee abov o'cloclk yesterday, without as thing as regards the strange affair. M Rheem, of the A, D. T. company, said that none of hi Messenge had been cmployed at the convention by the Repub- lican, and the city editor of the latter paper said that the platform was printed just us it was brought to the office. The copy was mixed up, being in type-writing, ink and clippmes’ from other papers. It is con- sidered likely that the mistake was made by the man who used the shears in the com mittee room. GDING TO CHICAGO. Theére was a meeting yesterday repubilican state central ‘committee in the Millard hotel, at which there was quite a large attendance. The object was to make gemehts for attending the convention at Chricago, Messrs.

Accommodations in Ohicago. There was a joint meoting yesterday at the Millard of the Young Men's Republican club and the state executive committees, which was attended by Mossrs. Seeley, Thurston, tGreene, Hartman, Meiklejohn, Slaughter, Bechel, Love, Hamor and Berlin, Judge Robertson presided. The aim was to sccure acccommodations in Chicago for the N ka delegation during the con- vention. Secretary Seeley read a letter on the subject of tickets and accommodations from J. 8. Clarkson which was to the effect that nothing definite yet had been decided upon with respect to the distribution of tick ots or the securing of quarters excopt such a8 was done some months ago, when information on the subjoct was forwarded to this state. Tho letter concluded by stating that another meeting of the executive committee would be held soon when the subject would again be considered. Mr. Sceley said that he had twice written Church Howe, who was a member of the na- ional campaign committee, and that the lat- emed to take little intorest in the mat- ter because ho had not answered either letter. Mr. Slaughter said that some months ago Mr. Meiklejohn had been notified that all threo principal presidential candidates had socured quarters in the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago, and that many of the state dele- gations were securing quarters there nlso, Mr. Meiklejohn had accordingly telegraphed for the retention of rooms for twenty people, including the delegates and headquarters. Mr. Meiklejohn corroborated this statoment and said that he had not been advised of any later communications from Chicago. Mr. Thurston moved that a committee of two be appointed to ascertain whether or not the Grand Pacific hotel was still retaining the rooms ordered for Nebraska, and if not to take action immediately to secure quartors during the convention. The chair appointed Mr. Thurston, Mr. Norval and subsequently Mr. Meiklejohn was added. The delegates to the national convention at Chicago will leave on the 15th of June, They are now considering the advisability of marching into the hall with some symbolic design made of our fleld produce which will atonce attract attention to our delegation and help advertise the state. 1s McShane Out of Politics? Yesterday afternoon a reporter for Tur Bee bad a talk with a prominent democrat of this city upon the question as to who would be nominated by the republicans in opposi- tion toJ. A, MecShane. The gentleman re ferred to said that it was not u settled thing that Mr. McShane would be in the field him- self or even seek renomination. “Why " asked the reporter “Because he has lost money by being in Washington. It has been said that he lost nearly £50,000 by not being at home to attend to busin This is something that a man who is as wealthy as John McShane is cven, does not care to lose often.” i Were others loss “Oh, mno; 1t was only in deals of five thousand dollars here and $10,000 which he could have worked had he been at home to sce them.” There is a shadow of reasonjin this suppos tion, because of other reasons than that the Ber's informant is a well-informed gentle- man. One of these reasons is the fact that Mpr, MeShane's energy in Washington has re- sulted gin considerable physical suffering, which “confined him to_ his house the capitol for two weeks. Since his ret o Omaha, he has taken a great deal of care of himself, venturing from his homo only in most favorable weather. 1It1s known that some of his friends have admonished him of the danger of overwork and after securing the new bridge charter and one or two other advantages to allow the congressional muntle to fall upon other shoulders. 2y claim that he is too young a man to wear out and that he ought still to have some of usefulness before him.
