Iuwas the grand fox chase under the all- spices of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Fox Hunting elub. As early as 2 o'clock the grand stand was packed with a motley crowa of spectator while the paddock was a very sea of eager, excited men and boys, and the carriage way tilled with vehicles. After a martial strain or two by the band, that grizzled_old hero of a thousund fox chases, Tom McDermott, lifted his bugle to his ruby lips, and its silvery peals awoke thousand echoes, aunouncing to the expec ant throng thut the sport was about to begin. A moment later a man on horseback kalloped across the field and into the euclos- ure encircled by the rave track. Ho was drogging » dead fox attachod to a rope behind him, and Whipper-in fobe Broderick informea_the breathless spectators that he was making a_preparatory trail to test the liounds. ‘Tne rider with the defunct reynard made the entire circuit of the course, and then unother blast from oid Mohermott, and the hounds, some twenty in number, were unleashed. Tney immediately took up the scent, and in full ¢ry dashed off’ through the grass and weeds on the traii of the dead fox, holding iv as unerringly as a man would a track in a foot of snow. Ouoo! ouoo! ouoo ! 0000! came the Liquid music of their tongues, now near, now far, as the shifting winds toyed with the sound. This was indeed n beautiful sight, and almost repuid the large crowd for all the trouble they had under- gone to witness tue sport, After the hounns had followed the trail around the entire course and back to the Tobe Broderick appeared with a live fox in his grasp—a poor, little, half grown, docrepid chicken thief, that probably hadn't had @ sniff of fresh air from the day of his cubdom. This ho carried out into the middle of the enclosure and turned it loose, But it wouldn't run and he had to give it soveral gentle reminders with the toe of his boot, when it got up and slunk off a few yards into the high weeds. Again the hounds were freed, and aguin away they went full- mouthed. In a few moments they were onto the fox. He wouldu't run a lick, and tho hounds, out of pity, refused to kill 'hiw. So he was tenderly gathered up and returned to his cage in the barn, The next fox brought forth was a coyote. The moment he was given his liberty he got np and dusted in lively style, but was soon hidden from view among the exuberant jim- son weeds. The hounds were given “the trail and away they dusted right merrily, closely followed by the Omuha and Council Blufts fox hunting club, consisting of Tobe Broderick, Charie McCormick, Billy Haw ley and Billy Maloney, on horseback. The hounds quickly brought the wolf to bay, and immwediately lay down iu a cicclo about’ him 80 he couldn’t escape, until the vali- ant clubmen galloped up. Billy Hawly was the first one *in at the death’’—that's what Whipper-in Tobe called it—and he jumped down off his horse and grabbed tlie crouch- ing coyote up in his arms, determined to have indisputable claim upon the first prize. “Don't hurt me, Mr. Hawley,” said the coyote to Biliy, “and I'll e up to the )ud'dde stand with you and never say & word." “All right,” responded Billy, and he and Brer Wolf got up on the horse again aud gatloped off to the judge's stand. “What's to be done mow?’ asked the proud Wilkam, as he pulled up in the pres- ence of the judges. ,"ou will ‘hnvu 0 bite the fox's Fox tall oft, Mr. Hawley, and then you aro entitled to the diamond mounted silver fox horn.” The daring hunter, howevor, declined to do this, and the ceremony was dispensed with. The horn was then presented to Mr. Hawley as the first horseman to reach the quarry, while the riding whip went to Billy Malonay, the sscond man in, and the oup to Charlie McCormick, the third prize winner. iverybody was now in such a state of wild excitement that Whipper-in Broderick said it would never do to turn another fox loose, as thero was danger of somebody’s going mad, and he wouldn't assume the responsibility. Thoreupon the 9,000, suckers dispersed, and \|hn great fox chase faded as a beautiful dream, BULLIVAN HOLDS A LEVEE. Loulsville People Gather to Admire the Fistic Hero.

Grass madea very nice specch, in which he said that as his friends at the other agencies had broken their promise not to sign, he was now willing to accept the treaty.

He retired in anger, and when John Grass, Mad Bear, Big Head ana Deer Face had signed the bill ho ordered his young men to stampede the crowd who gathéred around the tables.

Murderers of ‘the Benjamin Boy #Hold for Trial. Il WHISKY CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM “n Oitizons of North Platte Severely Crit- ifclse thH8 "Action of Judgo Hamer 'fd the Long Caso Loskate News. " The Long Murder Cnse. Nortn Prarte, Neb,, August 8.—[Speelal to Tite Bee.|—Tue Bee printed the bare facts of the Long case relating to the meot- g of the adjourned session of the district court last Monday, and its continuance until October 21, on motion of the prosecuting attorneys. There was much surprise and considerable excitement created when it became known that this tedious and costly case was to be continued again, and right up against the next regular session of court, which meets in November. 'The de- fendant's counsel are greatly exercised and quite indignant. They claim that Judgoe Hamer would hardly have granted another continuance but for the fact that he knew that the supreme court had_adjourned, mak ing it impossible for them to appeal for Long's rolease to that court. In lieu of that they now propose to go to Judge Hamer with siich strong and numerous afii- davits requesting that ho allow some other judge to sit on the case, thut he can hardly ignore them. It will be remembered that Long has lain in jail nearly three years and a half; that the first verdict was set aside, and anew trial granted by the supremo COUrt on account of errors, ete.; that one way and another the case has drazged on until now. At the trial in May last tho jury stood eleven to ono for acquittal. Counsel for defense claim that, knowing this, the Judge discharged the jury, and against tho protest of counsel. - In June they took the ocase to the supreme court, which declined to act on it—first, for want of time, and second, because the ~continuance of the case was set for July and would soon be heard. Take it altogether, there is considerable bad blood exhibited all along the line, and the fact that Judge Hamer took occasion just be- fore adjourniug court to lecture the press and to threaten dire consequences to such as should make any comment prejudicial to the prosecution or dofense, does not help mat- ters. The Tribune vroceeds to lecture the judge, and says that the warning *was a pro- ceeding of questionable propriety, to say the least.” The Telegraph says that ‘s his honor will have nothing but the bare facts given the public in the case, this paper will con- sider its duty shirked if it does not give them as they can be obtamed, in & case so impor- tant to tho taxpayers of this county.” Custer County Teachers' Institute.

By the con- stitution of 1885 the limit of stute indebted- ness was fixed $30,000. The committee con- struea the limitation to be entirely indaepen- dent of South Dakota's share of the terri- torial indebtedness.

An amendment was offered fixing the limit at $100,000, which was adopted after a lengthy devate. The report of the joint committee was formally adopted. The Drity’s Name in the Preamble. Bismanck, August 3.—At last evening’s session the convention decided that the sal- ary of the members of the legislature shall bo &5 por day and the length of tho session sixty days, except the first session, which shall be 120 days. At to-day's session tho preamble and bill of rights was discussed at length.

WASHINGTON, August 8.—|Special Tele- gram to Trr Ber, |—Senator Cullom recently sont a lotter to a number of prominent rail rond men asking their views on the relations of the Canadian railroads, Among the ro- plies receivod isone from Chairman Waiker of the Inter-State railway association, and lato member of the iuter-state commerce commission. He says in substance, in begin- ning, that tho Canadian lines overating this country affect cortain parts very favor- orably, especially New Engiand, In other parts the effect is unfavorable. = Ho thinks the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific have been lurge factors in the development of Chicago and that the competition of the Grand Trunk materially aided in bringing about the long-distance rates of the past few years, 1t is obvious that the relations of these railways to the inter-state commerce inthe United States can by no means be eradicated. Judee Walker says in conclu- usion thut by treaty or othorwise Canadian roads operating in this country should be made to conform with the inter-state com morce law, Bent on Revenge. Ci10aco, August 3.--[Special Telegram to Tur Bek.|—The Kansas City competitors of the Alton road aro bent on revenge. No new move was made to-day, but the Kansas City committee of the Inter-State Commerce Railway association is busy proparing its complaint to the inter-state commerce com. mission against the demand of the Alton for participation in the business originating wost of Kansas City. The complaint will be based on the alleged illegality of the Alton paying local ratos to roads west of Kan City and then taking the trafic on its own line to Chicago at a reduction on the Kan sas .y rato equal to the difference botwaen the western local and tho western provortion of tho through rate. The original through vato is not out, but the “Alton receives less than the regular Kansas City local for its haul. “Milling-in-transit” and “stopping-in- transit” rates allow of exactly this reduction and are everywhere prevalent in the west. “Che attempt will uow bo made, however, to have the system declured illegal. Railroad men ave about equaliy divided 0 the legality of this wethod of making rates. President Strong, of the Atchison, said to- day that the new tariff of his road, refusing the pro rate with any line cast of Kansas City, wiii be issued in a few days. On the day of its issuo General Mavagor Chappell, of the Aiton, will give notice of withdrawal from every western association. The Alton's withdrawal from the Western Railway Weighing Association and luspection Bureau will be a blow to tue other roads. It will nocessitate a return to the old system of charg- ing for the transportation of live stocic by the car load instead of by the hundred. The Alton's cars are larger than tnose of its compotitors and it witl practically control the live stock traflic. ‘Ihere is not a railroad man in Chicago who belicves the situation will be cleared up without a demoralizing row. The Alton's competitors are frecly charging the Alton with allowing its mileags books to be scalped. The charge to-day stirred up General Passenger Ageat Charl- ton, of the Alton, to the Jollowing roply *“Absolutely we' have no deals with any scalpers. The statement that 170 of our tickots were scalped in Chicago in one month is a deliberate falsehood, told for the vurpnse of influencing railroad opinion and of divert- ing mention of the guilty parties on other roads. When we reduce the rate from Chi- cago to Denver to $26 we did thatto meet the competition of the Kock Island, which road had been ing at that rato for a_long time before in broker offices in Chicago. Since that rate was re- duced to 26, up to date the Rock Island has had a rate of 25 to Denver in broker's of. fices. The cut in rates in this way and by the misuse of mileage tickets has become so serious that the Alton has but one of threo things to do, either reduce the one way reg- ular rates s0 as to meet this competition, o appeal to the inter-state commeree commi sion to enforce the law, or 0 do what its competitors are now on doing. | am, us I always in favor of adopting strictly legal action and under the law promptly reducing our one way rates in ordor to mect this unfair and illegal compe- tition which we have to encounter, and I hope this company will very speedily adopt that method of settling this question,” bad Reunion Bands Ride Fr CR1ICAGO, August 3. —Chairman Walker, of the Inter-State Commerce Railway associa- tion, nas decided several questions submitted by the Trans-Missouri association concerning the proposition of the St. Joscph & Grand railrond to apply differentisl rates from points on 1ts line to Duluth.
