REFUSED TO CONFIRM AGAI. The Council Rejects Charles J. Kar- bach's Nomination. COUNCILMAN P. FORD ORATES. His Side Partner From the First Says Whoever Says So Is a Liar— The Miscellancous Busi- ness Transacted. The City Council Meeting. The council meeting last night opened wtth alively tilt over a_communication from the mayor nominating Mr. Charles J. Karbach as amember of the board of public works in of Mr. Heimrod. ame took the council by surprise. “What's that name!” popped out 2 Ford and Lowry in unison, and th - vor's letter, man Lee arose and_explained that Mr. KKarbach was an old resident of Omaba, an industrious blacksmith and a worthy man who had accumulated what means ho has by honest methods, He moved to refer the nomination to the committee on paving and guttering. The high pitch of Mr. Ford's “What's that name!” had portended battle, and he now opened his guns, The council, he suid, had repeatedly given the mayor to under- stand that Mr. Helmrod was satisfactory to it. Mr. Karbach may be a good horse- shoer, but he does mot understand the duties of this office, and 1t is not policy for the city to pay for his inex- verienee, especially at a scason when a great deai of work is in progress. Then Mr. Ford paid his respects to the mayor. Thatofficial, i said among other things, had nominated 1wo inspectors who were no more fit for the position than Whisky Jack. The mayor had done this to reward o couple of political strik ers, and expected the council to help him his debts, He 4 to have learned by this time. Mr. Ford insisted on vote on confirmation to settle tho matter at oneo Mr. Snyder spoke in a similar strain. Mr, Leo made an appeal to the republicans not to be led by the two democratic gentlemen, but rather stand by the mayor and not heaj odium on a good, respectable man. It is the policy of the tleman _from the Third ward tb stic up dissensic among the republicans, which they w trying to do by an attempt to sit on Mr. Kar bach. The republicans should not allow the distinguished gentlemen from the Third to stumpede thew, Mr. Ford retorted that his *ittle friend from the Seventh ward” had been a cause of contention in former times, and he wondercd when Mr. Lee and the mayor had kissed and made up. all objected to the gentleman from the Seventh saddling the mayor on the rej . If he belongs to any party it is to the party of Sally Muggins, The sally get council and spec ar. The motion to refer v the follow- ing vote: A : ¥, Chen Counsman, Kaspar, Kierstead, Lee-- ford, Boyd, 'Ford, Hascall, lle, Snyder, Van Camp, Be Mr, Lee thought it an insult to M. Dach to reject his nomination as soon as sent in, and he moved that it be referred to the committee on public property. He said Mr, Karbach had had assurances that he would be confirmed or he would not have allowed his name to be presented. Mr. Hascall said he understood that Mr. Karbuch had had such_assurances, but tho mayor has promised the nomination to a dozen differcnt men., He promised it to Mr. Christofferson as soon as Mr. Redman should be rejected, and the speaker knew of a young engineor who has received a somewhat simi- lar pledge. Mr. Hascall did not be- lieve in blocking the mayor's way to redeeming his pledges. He thought the council ought to humor that gentleman and let him pay off his debts, By promptly rejecting his nomination he could get in three or four a month. Mr. Lee thought it a pity that the twelve rapublicans on the board should be run by the five democrats, but a cry of *“The bloody shirt” from Mr. Ford put the laugh on him, and he sat down. Mr. Lowry wanted a chance to vote against confirmation. Mr. Adams, he said, who was rejecled somo time ago, s “kicking like a bay steer.” “Mr. Loc don't know the mayor's mind the length of a tooth-pick The mayor don’t know it himself. A stranger might call on him, give him a sweet talk and get his name sent in the next night.” The vote on the second motion to refer was the same as on the first. Messrs. Alexander and Leo then voted to confirm, but the other fourteen gentlemen voted nay. The council sustained the mayor's veto of a claim of §150 to 1. L. Shane and §75 to J. ¥'. Coots for measuring the work done on the city hall foundation. Several members vot- ing aye said they were in favor of paying Shane but not Coots. The muyor vetoed a gas lamp resolution bod cause the city already owes the gas company £0,000. Ho was sustained. The mayor sent in a communication stating that he had been advised by the city ongineer that the intersection paving fund is practically exhausted, and he sug- gested that no more paving contracts be ordered or approved where an intersection is necessary. The foliowing contracts reported by the board of public works were approved: With Barber Asphalt Paving company, for paving Twenty-sixth street from Half Howard to . Mary’s avenue with asphaltum; with J. F\. Riley, for curbing Poppleton avenue from Twenty-ninth to Thirty-second with Berea stone, The contract with Hugh Murphy for pay- ing on Nicholas, Pierce and Fourth strects was referred. “The bill of Charles E. Fanning & Co. for sweeping the streets, amount #2,128.16, was allowed. C. D. Woodiorth was ailowed §11,- 507 for curbing on Jones, Leavenworth and Dodge eets, John 8. Wood, clerk of the polico court, was allowed 2 leave of absence for six days, peginning August 27, City Attorney Webster gave notico of tho setting aside of injunctions rostraining the grading of Leavenworth stroct near Thir sixth, and the paving in district number 142 with asphualthum. . A petition was received asking the opening of Indiana street from Twenthsixth to Twenty-soveuth. Referred, Councilman Counsman introduced a reso- ng the uecessity of opening Fourtecnth street by the Northwestern rail- way company for a width of not less than fifteen feet upon either side of the center line of said street, The compauy had agreed to do this by a contract made February 1, 1886, whenever the council and_mayor, after the completion of the Sixtecnth streot via duct, should declare the opening of Four- teenth to be a public necessity. Tho resolution was referred to the com- mittee of the whole. After some discussion during which Messrs. Kaspar and Hascall indulged in an exchange of compliments, the former urged the passage of the resolution, and the latter favored its commitment. M. tallc of the gentleman from rd was liko the buzzing of a 't amount to anything. Mr. ark that he at not get his gas and water free. Mr. Hascall repelled the insinuation with the re- mark: “I don't ride on the street car on pusscs, and [ know somo oe who doca.” nj Lowry, Later in the meeting arose for a personal explanation. been insinuated that he received gas an water free hie wished to brand the charge as false. Continuing he said: I would like to ask the gentleman from the Second ward whether or not he rides on passes.” Mr. Kaspar—*Yes, sir."” Returning to the gas and water imputation, Mr. Hascall said: “I say that the man who said it is a liar.” There was a general cry of *‘out of ordor,” and a vigorous pounding of the gavel suc- cecded in bringing the customary calm and dignity. ‘A resolution by Mr, Kaspar was adopted directing the oity attorney to notify Rector & Wilhelmy to remove their powder maga- 2ino from tax lot 4,,s0uth of Bancroft street, within thirty days under penalty ot being prosecuted. The board of public works were instructed not to -construct the projected sewer on Twenty-second street south of Poppleton avenue. g The following by ‘Mr. Lée was adopted without discussion : - Resolved; That the city clerk be directed to advertise for bids for the lighting of the city by electric lizht, zas or other lights, said bids to be presented on or before the 4th of September, The comptroller was directed to buy a wagon, not exceeding §65 in cost, for the use of the sewer inspector, Anordinance was passed for the pav g of Pacific street between Sixth and Tenth with Colorado sandstone. This is one of the canceled Ragan contracts, The board of public works will readvertise for bids, The plat of the Reafield addition was ap- proved. A committee recommended that the board of public works be directed to engage two wen to readjust the rods aid braces of the Sixteenth street visduct; also to repaint the structure. Adopted. On motion of Mr. Leo the council named Saturday night as the date of an_adjourned meeting for taking up the public building ordinancos, The general appropriation bill for was passed. It aggregated #127,44).22 0 that sum were added the bills and timates al- lowed during the current meoting. The claim of Judge Lake for 8300 for services as attorney for the police commission in its late unpleasantness was urged as a rider, but the motion was withdrawn. The following ordinances were passed: Providing for the ing of paving bonds to the amount of #115,00. requiring the painting of tele graph, telephone and electrie light poles and proqibiting the afixing of advertisements thereto; declaring the necessity of taking property for a sewer right of way through tax lot 8, section 28, township 15, range 13, and repealing ordinance 1 pirbevwie Aoty FIF' H CON Senate. WASHINGTON, August 7.—In the scnate a resolution offered yesterday instructing the committee on finance to make an investiga- tion of the cotton bagging pool was taken up and adopted. After a number of bills of minor import- ance had been passed, Mr. Sherman took the floor in opposition to the fisheries treaty. He said that he regarded the controversy with Great Britain as infinitely more impor- tant and more injurious than a controve with any other nation, for of all the people who inhabit the globe the people of the United States and the peovle of Great Britain were the most intimately allied by tie of consanguinity, of history, of faith, of mstitutions, of similarity of charac ter and disposition, of ancestry and of ¢ thing which tended to make ties between separate nations. Therefore, he would have been ad to see in the pending treaty a settlement of the controversy, and he had approached its consideration with a desi to find in 1t sucn a settlement. But the more be had examined it the more he had become sfied that the treaty, if ratified, wou¥ cn new avenues of controver lead to new irritations, and therefore not iccomplish its purnose. Anything that tended to pro- mote free commercial mtercourse; anything that tended to produce a union of Canada with the United States, would mcet his hearty support. In his judgment the Do- minion of Canada would be within ten years either in the imperial parliament of Great Britain or in the congress of the United States. He therefore favored the policy of bringing about international exchanges with Canada of the frecst character possible— perhaps something in the nature of a - verein. He didn't regard the treaty as a party question nor as a sectional question. sither was 1t an Irish question, nor was opposition to it *‘fAishing for Irish votes.” He believed that there was a general sympathy with the Irish people, not only in the seuate but among all the people of the United States. He hoped that the people of Ircland would gain the right to pass. their local laws, but the people of the Un were 1ot going to involve thems controversy with Great Britain in r a matter over which they had no control. Ho had no sympathy with anglophobia, [or with the abuse of the British government. ‘Whatever might be said of that power, it was the greatest element of civilization in modern history. In all the great elements of the progress of the hwman race the English power had always led. He would treat Great Britain as a friendly nation without reviving any of the animosities of the past. Mr, Sherman then proceeded to discuss the details of the pending weaty. He regarded the section of the treaty allowing free im- portaticn of Canadian fish and _fish oil as a surrender of the rights of the United States to levy taxes on imported goods and as an sultio the United States. There was not in the history of di- plomacy so one-sided a treaty between two great nations, Such a treaty seemed d graceful to American diplomacy. He ridi- culed the iden that two countries wore going to war about this matter, If the president would with moderation exercise the powers conferred on him by the law authorizing re- taliation there would be no trouble, The senate them resumed consideration of the bill to prohibit the coming of Chinese la- borers to the United States. Mr. Stewart spoke in favor of the bill, and when he closed the senate adjourned. RESS, Honse. ‘WASHINGTON, August 7.—In the house to- day Mr. Quthwaite, of Ohio, called up for consideration the senate bill making an ap- propriation to enable the several exccutive departments of the government to participate in the, Ohio contennial exposition in Septem- ber next. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, said that the rea- son why the committee on appropriations had not reported this bill was that congress had already passed a bill to enablo the depart- ments to make an exhibit at Cincinnati, which was in the same state as Columbus, and within five hours’ ride of that city, and where the exposition was to held at the same time as that at Columbus, Mr. Henderson offered an ammendment appropriating £230,000 to aid the exposition to be held by the 'colored raco in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1850 and 1890, under the of the Colored Workers' Fair association of America, Mr. Warner offered an amendment appro- priuting $10,000 to enable the departments to be represented at iKansas Uity exposi- tion, to be held in September and October.

Joseph B. Greenhut, President of the Combination, Testifies DBefore the House Committee on Manufactures. Mr. Greenhut Testifies, WASHINGTON, August 7.—The house com mittec on manufactures resumed to-day the inquiry into the whisky trust. Joseph B. Greenhut, of Peoria, Iil, president of tne Great Western Whisky trust, produced the o8 of agrecment among eighty-one or- ganlzations, forming the basis of the trust, and explained that all of the property and capital of the distillers was pooled and cer- titicates of stock issued. Organizations com- posing the trust are located in the states of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and other northern states, The preamble of agreement recites that the purpose of the trust is to se- cure mtelligent corporations in the business of distilling spirits from grain and other ma- terial, lhegmlliug and feeding of live stock, and for the sale of their products at and foreign markets, The agreement shows that the trust was vested in nine trustees, whose principal office is in Chicago. Trust certificates are worth £100 api The trust is to continue for twerty-five years from the date of agree- ment, and thereafter continue until termi- nated by a vote of 663 per cent in value of the holders of certificates at a meeting called for that purpose. The remainder of the statement is drawn up largely after the man- ner of that of the sugar trust. A board controls the operations of the trust. Greenhut explained that the organi- zation was a co-operative concern intended to msure inteiligent, concerted action, but not to corner the markets. Once a month the board of trustees meet, examine the books, and, if circumstances warrant it, declare dividends. Operating under its general directions @aroe sub-boards to control the local work, Their offi- cers are elected subject to the approval of the general board, which in this way con- trols the trust. Of the total unnual output of the trust—40,000,000 gallons of spirits— about 15 per cent was consumed as a bever- age; 8,000,000 gallons were used in the arts, and the remainder in manufactures and wine fomentation. The witness believed that from the nat- ural advantages, such as cheap fuel, grain and other raw material, the domestlc manu- facturer of spirits was fully able to meet European competition without the aid of im- port duties, which, in his opinion, were not necessavy to enablo our spirit makers to con- trol the market at home. Exclusive of the “‘moonshine” product, Greenhut believed that the association represented by himself made 65 to 5 per cent of the entire quantity of al- cohol manufactured in this count: The witness said that the Western Export association was formed in November, 1551, for the purpose of exporting surplus goods. The association went out of existence May 4, 1887, He thought that alcohol used in the arts could safely be left untaxed. He said that $30,000,000 worth of trust certificates have been issued and that since the forma+ tion of the tcust, May 10, 1% dividends have been paid, Since 1888, a monthly dividend of one-half of 1 cont has been paid. Out of 75,000,000 gallons annually produced in this country 40,000,000 is produced by houses in the trust. On before the st was formed the average price of spirits was $1.13 per proof gallon, with corn at 34 cents per bushel, and for the first year since the trust the average price has been $1.00, with corn selling at 47 cents per bushel. The formation of the trust bad prevented strikes awmong the coal miners and coopers located near Peoria, and he submitted westimonials that the trust had resulted in steady, uniform and fair wages to the men., ‘The committee then adjourned. sl - They Demand a Retraction, Kaxsas Ciry, August 7.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Bee ]—At the meeting of the Western Railway Weighing association and inspeetion bureau to-day, it was de cided that in the case of Jacob Dold & Son the auditor should collect the amount claimed from the firm for short weights.

It is the evolution of the chrysallis into the but- terfly, and is a most wonderful illusion.
