Henry Villard Tells Row He Saved the Oregon Transcontinential ¥rom Failure—Other Rail- way News. Agent Nash Protests. “Speaking for the Milwaukee road,” said Mr. . A. Nash, general agent, *I say there is no truth in the statement that the stock- yards at South Omaha are discriminated against by our line. Shippers over our road in Towa are furnished facilities in the way of cars und the handling of their stock regard- less of tne destination of their shipments being South Omaha or Chicago. “As a matter of fact, it is not to the inter- estof the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway haul to Chicago as against South ~©Omaha under the present application of Towa state rates. “Neither has any stock been delayed on our tracks before reaching the tramsfer, The failure of the arrangement to bring stock to Council Bluffs so that it could be gent to South Oméha in one solid train, and t the reduced bridge rate, was due to tho fact that shippers in Iowa did not wish to arrive at the stoc rds in the evening, com- peliing them to remain over night at that place and causing additional expense. ; “Then, after penetrating a certain dis- tanco in Iowa, South Omaha comes into competition with the packing points of Sioux City and Cedar Rapids, which prevents con- trol of stock from those localities excent un- der very fuvorable circumstances. “t is o matter of record that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway company has for the past five years, at the peril of great interests, fought the battle of the packers of South Omaha in connection with its Ham- mond coutract, and has done more to build up the packing business of that center than all the other interests combined, This com- any is oqually interested with the packers Bt ing and wcreasing the present busi- noess of the yards, and the charge that South Omahu is being diseriminated against by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway company is extremely unjust, “I think this is true of the other Iowa lines. There need be no fear of serious dis- crimivation on the part of the lowa lines against South Omaha as long as the situn- tion remains as it is at preseut. Both the Rock Island and Milwaukee roads have no extensions in this section west of the Mis- souri river, and it is clearly to their interest to concontrate stock business at South Omaba, forcing the other lines to a simlar courso of aotion. “The management of the stockyards has been ns good as could be expected under the oircumsances, The diffculty has been that the busiuess has grown beyond expectations, and thut it was almost impossible to keep pace iu_facilities with its growth,” W. N, Babcock, general ageut of the Northwestern, said: “'I do not think that any of the live stock shippers can comvlain of our road 1n the matter of reaching South Omaha. We have made special train ar- rangements taking in 160 miles of our terrig tory cast of the river in order to accommo: date live stock shipments to South Omaba. We huve o doeper interest in the develop- ment of South Omaha live stock traffic than any other, as South Omaha is & local port. I think much of what has been said is un- warranted.

HENRY VILLARD'S FIGHT. The Financler Talks of Oregon T continental Affairs. New Youk, May 20.—[Special Teicgram to Tue Bee.|—In a talk with a reporter to- day, regarding the Oregon Transconti- nental affairs, Heury Villard said: “In the last days of August, 1587, Elijah Smith and soveral other directors of the Oregon Transcortiucutal company, and a prominent Bosion banker suddenly up- pearea in my oftico one Friday afternoon. ‘Phey informed mo in & great state of excite- ment that Elijab Swith needed money badly @snd that several willions of call loans due by the Oregon Transcontinental company were being called right and left; that every offort had been made to-respond to the culls but that the company was not able to raise an- other dollar and that unless it bad immeds ate rolief it wonld be obliged 10 go to the wall, “Tho danger was represented Lo bo so grave 5- and urgent tbat my immediate personal tervention with some of the holders of call loans was urged. Elijah Smith implored me to interpose.

The banking firm was given a certain time to take them up ana pay for them, but found itself unable to sell or take them up, owing to the high rate for money. “ was toid vhat $5,000,000 immediate cash was needed to save the company and to pre- vent a panic in Wall street, which the most experienced bankers thought would surely take place if the company became bankrupt.

Neither cash by cable transfe to place sufficient cash company Sidney Dillon nor A. L.

Knowing that I could not comply with their wishes without strong financial backing, enabling me to take care of the fioating indebtedness of the company and to provide it with a working capital, I would not consent until T had personally consulted with my friends abroad. Haviug received their consent, we purchased for Joint account with our Afmerican friends 50,000 shares of Oregon Transcontinental stock in open market, maling us the largest stockholders at that time and ever since. “We hold nearly. 202,000 shares of the outstanding Oregon Transcontinental company’s stock, and, in addition, I bave already proxies in my hands for about 5000 more shares.

We have doune nothing to bring about the present corner in the Ore- gon Transcoutinental stock. The corner must be simply due to the foolishness of tho shorts in selling more stock than there is.

NEW Yok, May 20.—The sensation caused by the sharp corner in Oregon Transcon- tinental last weelc appeared to bo gradually dying out to-day, but both parties to the con- test for coutrol kept intorest 1 it alive by their manipulation for the purpose of liquida- tion, Itis rumorad that @ compromise was arrived ot Saturday by which the Union Pacific will continue to pay a 6 per cent divi- dend on Oregon Navigation stock and retain control of the road. This would eliminate all bitterness from the election and leave nothing for the Villard party to fight for. Iu the afternoon the stock was decidediy heavy, and selling by the insiders forced the rice down to 39, a_decline of 6 per cent rom the opening. Villurd was offered 6,000 shares with proxies by Governor Ame Massachusetts, but declined to buy them while Oregon Transcontinental stock was being sold. Brokers identified with Villard bought Northern Pacific heavily, and caused an sdvance of 23§ per cent. st Rumored Lease Repudiated, Cuicago, May 20.—[Special Telegram to Tue | ~A telegram was received in Chi- cago, this morning, from Omaha, saying that the Kook Island road had leased the Union . Pacific line from Omaha to Beatrice, and also surveyed the line from Council Bluffs to Beatrice. President Cable, of the Rock Isl- and, was scen in regard tothe matter and said there was not a word of truth in either statement. He had not even heard the mat- ter mentioned.

Try this peculiar medicine THE PLUMBERS STRIKE. Masters Filling the Places of the Journeymen— A Cowardly Blow, The Hussey-Day company had ten men at work upon the plumbing in Tue Bee building at 8 o’clock yesterday morning, independent of the gas fitters. These were all master plumbers except one or two helpers, The twenty carpenters who walked out on Saturday were on hand this morning when the whistle blew, but as they made no move 10 go to work, Superintendent Baker ordered them to leave the building. This they did, but remained about the outside throughout the morning. The striking plumbers were also on hand, and one or two efforts vere made by representatives of the union to get past the guards at the doors, but in this they were unsuccessful. Members of the union are watching the entrances into the city closer than ever and quickly bear away to their head- quarters the fact of the arrival of any plum ber whno comes from outside. They ave being troubled to a considerable extent by tramps, who pass themselves off as plunibers and succeed in obtaining rations and tobacco iree, the union taking care of them in order to keep them from going to work., supposing them to be what they represent themselves, One fellow was found the other day who, when asked what he wanted to get out, blushed and modestly said: *Nothiog but a swit of clothes, $50 1n cash and a rail- road ticket to Seattle.,” The union after- wards discovered that he was a fraud and kicked him out. 2 Mr. Rosewater yesterday notitied all the contractors in the building that they would be expected to finish their work without delay. Charles Burns and Pat Fahey, the plaster contractors, donned their overalls yesterday apd wentto work them- selves. ‘Ihe union can find no fault, under the constitution and by-laws, with this, as Burns and Fahey have a right to work for them- selves if they 8o desive. The, pmnters ure all at work and say they will not walk out on the plumbers accouut, A large number of carpenters are still at work and nearly as rapid progress is being made as before the trounle began, Neither the master nor journeymen plumbr ers have made an attempt to arbitrate theio difficulties and declare they don'v intend t do so, The journeymen plumbers say that the Free fines must ‘be paid, $500 must be paid them in addition to pay for the time lost and the master plumbers must agree to rec- ognize the union, i ‘The vainters in Tue Bee building refused to take part in the walkout, and so do the ten union carpenters, who have been em- ployed by Tne Beg Bujlding company. They say they have been fairly treated; h been regularly paid the wages fixed by ther unlous and work the stated hours fixed by their uniou “We hi no grievance,” said one of the painters, “and don’t think we would be justi- fied in quitting work and damaging Mr. Rosewater, who has always been friendly to the laboring peoble. ‘The constitution of the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators does not justify or countenance strikes until after arbitration has failed to briug about settloment. “The journeymen plumbers had right on their side when they struck in a body after they were notified Wednesday that they would be locked out. But they can’t gain anything by waging war upon Mr. ltosewater aud drawing off the other union workingmen employed in Tur Bee building. He has done ull he coula do in dealing with his plumbingfand gas fitting contractors. hiw liable to damage suits frou the coutrac- tors, The plumbers have no right to ask us to strike because Hussey & Day have put non-union master plumbers to work in the building. Last spring, when the bricklayers were on a_strike, the union plumbers and gas-fitters kept right on in the same building when Coots had imported scabs to finish his contract. Mr, Rosewater was as powerless then as he is now. Ho could not stop Coots from employing what men he pleased, but when Coots’ contract was up he let Withnell Bros. finish the building above the grante story with union bricklayers.” “Iam in sympathy with the journeymen plumbers,” said one of the carpenters at Tur Beg building, *‘and I hope they will win, But I can’t for the life of me see what they are to gain by keeping us idle. I think that they have made a great mistake in damaging Mr. Rosewater, who bas taken sides with them publicly. They ought to have taken his advice and tried to arbitrate with the master plumbers. There is no sense io stand- ing and refusing to have a conference with the other side. There must be some conces- sions made on both sides. Lots of carpon- ters, plasterers and masons have been out of work all winter, and eyen now there isn't work enough for half the mechanics in town. I do hope that this mavter will be amicably settled.” Mr. Hussey says that “‘within three days the plumbing work will be far enough ad- vanced to turn on the water throughout tho building, and after that three plumbers can finish the work in two weeks,” The tering in Tue Bee building is so far advanced that the force heretofore at ‘work would have finished within two weeks, The carpenter work is nearly all done in the seventh, sixth, fifth and fourth stories. Had the full force continued, the entire work would have been finished in twenty days. During the noon hour yesterday a drunken plumber numed Riley demanded admittance to Tue Bee building, He was very abusive. Upon being told that he could not "enter, he flew at ‘the doorkeeper, a young boy, and hammered him about the head until he bled profusely. The lad was injured by a fall last summer and Riley had him at his mercy. After battering the boy up he slipped through one of the entrances and escaped arrost. The officers of the plumbers’ union stated last night that Riley was not sent to the building by plumbers, and that the men with whom he was drinking during the fore- noon were not plumbers. Riley came here from Kansas City two weoks ago, Charges have been madoe against him in the union for being disorderly, and a meeting will be hela soou to cousider his case, Advice 10 Mothers.

Yesterday morning a man met a reporter and said he was on his way to tho oftice of the board of public works to register a kick. He said “A contract was awarded J. E.
