al THE OMAHA DAILY 3 BEE. NINETEENTH YEAR. OMAHA, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 16, 1889, - COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL. The Question Brought Up In the House of Lords. A SUBJECT FOR NEXT RECESS. The Lord Chancellor's Temper Be- comes Somewhat Rufled Re- Rarding the Matter—At the Bhrine of Knock, The Maybrick Case. | Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennat.) Loxpow, August 15.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bew. | ~The Maybrick case found 1ts way into the house of lords to- doy and rufiled the temper of the lord chan- @ cellor to an extent absolutely dangerous to his health. In language mild and choice Lord Fitzgorald asked if during the coming recess the question of constituting an effec- tive court of appeal in criminal cases would e considered, and it 1t were deemed expodi- ent would a measure to effect such object be presented. The face of the lord chancellor became covered with a hue that betokens the rapid approach of apoplexy. He could only per- fectly express his regret, he said, that such & question should be raised, It was' a mat- ter he preferred not to have discussed at such a time, Lord Herschell coldly stated that it was impossible to obtain attentioa to the necessi- ty for any particular reform except when the public mind was excited on the subject, He trusted the matter would be seriously con- sidered by the government at the coming re- ©cess, as thero was undoubtedly a widespread feeling that such a tribunal would give addi- tlonal security against injustice and against such agitation as the suspicion of injustice created, The importance of the remarks made by Lord Cross lies in the fact that hoe has been home secretary, though the little he did say was of such an exvraordinary character as to deserve attention 1f he had never occupied such a position, Having said that he would be prepared to expross ideas at the proper time, he added: “I am not quite sure that, with the existing state of things, criminals do not gain an advantage rather than lose one by tho right of criminal appeal.” Unfortunately, he failed to explain what criminals could possibly lose by a change for the beuter in their behalf. After Lord Cross had spoken the matter was dropped. To-morrow's Lancet, after a thorough re- view of the medical testimony, will say: “We can have no desire that the royal prerog- ative of mercy should not be exercised in this case, but as a duty to the living relatives of the deceased, to the painstaking, fearless and hofieat jury, and to one of the greatest orna- ments of the English bench, we solemuly as. sert, as our unbiased opinion, that the ver- dict arrived at in Mrs, Maybrick’s trial was warranted by the evidence. False-Tongued Mrs. Yapv. New Youxk, August 15—The New York council for Mrs. Maybrick to-day received a letter from Lawyer Alfred Monck, of Mon- treal, in which he states that a Mrs. Yapp, answering the description of Mrs. Yapp who was the chiof witness against Mrs. May- brick, was oblized to leave Montreal about three years aco to escape indictment for perjury. At that time Malvin Smith brought action against his wife for separation, Mrs. Yopp was o wituess for Smith, and gave very damaging evideuce against his wife. It was shown that Smith's mistress and Mrs. Yapp had, with Smith’s aid, plotted o con- spiracy to blacken Mrs. Smith's character aund prove her an adulteress. o e An Application of the Stiok, {Copiright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett.] ®, August15.—[New York Herald Spocial to Tne Bree.|—Of the sixty prisoners arrested yesterday, for tho raid on the Indian bazaar, sixteen were in the employ of the sultan, one was in the employ of the Germans and the other Arab had no employers. Bach received fifty blows with 8 stick yestorday, and they are lying con- fined In the barracks. A riot occurred between 6 and 7 o'clock last evening, but as no police are ever on duty in the strects in the day time the soldiers had to be brought from a distant part of the town, and these, after restoring order, patrolled the quarter until 3 in the morning. To-day there was another slight riot in the bazaar between the Arabs and Banyans, and two of the latter were beaten. There is still much talk of a disturbance brewiug for Saturday or Sunday. The au- thorities should be compelled to have the streots guardea by the police by day as well #8 by night. 'The sultan was absent at his country house wheu the riot occurred, and drove into towa early this moraing. The only two German ships here, the Parle and Carolina, have left their moorings and are anchored off the German consulate as a measure of precaution. It is reported that the German consul has telographed to the German commander at Mozambique to re- turn with the Leipzig. e At the Shrin: of Knock.

They were flogged. The police arrangements here are infamous. IR . FAST OUEAN RAOCERS, A Great Straggle Between the Teu- tonic and New York. New York, Aaugust 15.—[Special Tele- gram to Tux Bee.]—It was not until fifteen minutes to 12 o'clock last might that the ticker announced the arrival off the bar of the Inman line steamer City of New York, which it was thought would surely come fn yostorday forenoon, She has proved n dis- appointment to many wlo have picned their faith and-money on the big Inman liner making a fast trip, but she has beaten the White Star steamor Teutonic, which left Liverpool thirty-filve minutes after the New York. The Teutonic was off the bar at five minutes to 1 o'clock, one hour and ten minutes after the City of New York. The latter left Queens- town at 1:30 o'clock last Thursday afternoon, and her timo to the bar, after allowing the usunl difference in time, is therefore 6 days, 14 hours and 45 minutes. The Teutonic left Queenstown at 2:05 o'clock the same -afternoon the Inman liner did, and her time up to the time of sighting her off the bar was exactly 6 days 15 hours 25 minutes, It must have been close steam- ing all the way over, and it is conjectured that the two vessels could not have lost sight of each other during the trip, execpt, perhaps, when it was foggy. The Teutonic's time is 12 hours and 18 minutes behind the best time made by the Inman line steamer City of Paris, aud the City of New York is over eleven hours behind her sister ship’a record. It was said that an en- tirely new sot of engines were fitted in the City of New York at Liverpool, and that may account for her failure to make such a brilliant triumph as it was supposed she would. The voyage of the Tentonic, while not the fastest trip by a trans-Atlantic steamer on the first trip, is considered fairly good and proof that the steamer will prove a speady vessel when once her machinery is in good working order. The new steamer Teutonic, besides being the longest ship after, is the first merchant ship built in combliance with the conditions of the British admiralty (in return for a bonus) so that in case of emer- gency she may be used as a warship. In consequence she presents many novelties as an Atlantic liner. The machinery is all velow the water line. There are twelve boilers from 12 to 12} feet in diameter each and 17 teet long, with six furnaces in each. The whole of the machinery for working either scrow 18 shut off complotely from its neighbor by fore and aft bulkheads, which extend from the after end of the en- gine room to the forward end of the foremost, coal bunker, The captain of the City of New York re- ports having experienced vesy dirty weather. The vessel was obliged to slow down three or four times, owing to the machinery hav- ing become heated, resulting in a loss of some ten hours’ time. The daily runs were: August 9, 408; 10th, 440; 11th, 452; 13th, 442: 18th, 404; 14th, 465; 15th, 197, The Teutonic reports having had strong westerly wind and gales and head seas most of the tume. On August 12 she ran at a great rate of speed for seventeen hours, The daily runs were: August 9, 304 miles; 10th, 404; 11th, 430; 12th, 431; 13th, 4403 14th, 454; 15th, 227, e —— HARRISON AT CONCORD, The President Enthusiastically Grected in Spite of Rain. Coxcoxp, N. H., August 15.—This noon President Harrison, Private Sectetary Hal- ford, ex-Governor Chenoy and others were driven through the various mill yards av Manchester on a tour of inspection.

Thus far the utmost quietn ess has prevailed, Th e republican journals are convinced that public opinion will ratify the decree of the court, The conservative and Boulangist pavers are sanguine that the general election for members of the chamber of deputies will show that the people do not approve of the verdict, It is ulleged that Waddington, French ambassador to Bngland, has been iu- structed to sound the English government on the question of extraditing General Bou- langer, Count Dillon and Henr: Rochefort., e Sullivan On Trial Pukvis, Miss., August 15.—The jury was completed after cousiderable delay to-day and Sullivan was placed on trial.

His Nomination Greetsd With Wila Enthusiasm — Poyneer Selected for the Second Place— The Platform, Nominated at Last. Drs Motxgs, Ta., August 15.—[Special Tel- gram to Tne Bre.]—The outgoing trains to- night are crowded with departing delegates. .They go away in pretty good humor, for Sen- ator Hutchison was the second choice of probably ninety-nine hundreths of the con- vention. The ticket is regarded as par- ticularly strong, for while Senator Hutchi- son stands for the business and professional man, Senator Poyneer is a genuine farmer, whose hands show acquaintance with the itchfork. He is a level headed farmer, and as been in the senate so long that he is an elegant parliamentarian. After the nomination of Hutchison for gov- ernor this morning, public interest in the convention took & tumble. There wus but little contest for the lieutenantgovernorship, although there were half a dozen candidates, The second ballot quickly weeded them out and left Poyneer a winner. The platform adopted gives very ‘goneral satisfaction. It speaks firmly on all ques- tions of public interest to Iowa, but {s much more less radicgl on the railroad guestion than the one adopted two years ago. The great convention was the largest and iha contest for governor was the longest in he history of Towa. The Uonvention in Detail. Drs MoiNes, In., August 15, —The conven tion began its session at 9 o’clock this morn- ing. The twenty-third ballot taken wasas follows: Hull, 493; Wheelor, 4083 Crapo, 1. Twenty-fourth—Hull, 450; Wheeler, 230; Hutchison, 472; Crapo 1. Twenty-fifth—Hull, 858; Wheeler, Hutchison, 621. The nomination of Hutchison was fol- lowed by wild enthusiasm, the waving of flags and long prolonged cheers. When order was restored each of the candidates was ‘brought to the convention hall and made a brief speech. The convention then balloted for lieuten- ant-governor. The first bullot resulte Poyneer, 383; Seeds, 200; Finn, 11. Hugh, 197; Rowell, 100; Wheeler, 43; Harts- horn, 60; Young, 20. In the second ballot Poyneer was nom- inated for lieutenant governor. Following the ballot for lieutenant gov- ernor the following were nominated by ac- clamation: Supreme Judge—Josiah Given, of Des Moines. Supermtendent of Education — Henry Sabin, of Clintou, Railroad Commissioner—Spencer Smith, of Council Bluffs, John Y. Stone then read the platform as follows: Resolved, That the republican party of Towa in convention assembled congratulates the country on the restoration of the party to power in the federal government. We in- dorse the administration of President Har- rison as eminently wise, loyal and just. We favor a liberal construction of the pension laws and such farther legislation as will se- cure to the old soldier his just dues from the government he has so faithfully served and ‘which he has enriched by his sacrifice; 2, That we demand of congress the protec- tion of American industry when it does not foster trusts or trade conspiracies, and we demand the same protection for farm pro- ducts that is given to the products of the labor of other classes. 3. That we reafirm the principle and policy of state ralway regulation. We favor maintaning equality among all locali- ties and individuals, and we oppose the granting of favors to one class of citizens denisd to others, and should experience demonstrate the necessity we favor such changes in the laws as should be made n the interests of right and justice to all. We urge upon congress the absolute prevention of rebates and discriminations on railways that foster monopolies and prevent competi- tion. 4. That it is the duty of the state and federal governments to enact and execute laws to punish trade conspiracies, trusts and combines designed to limit the productions of the necessariesof life, to unnaturally dis- turb, raise prices and interfere with the natural course of trade and which injuriously divert trade and traffic from the cities and towns of Iowa to commercial centers outside of our borders. 5. That we reaffirm the past utterances of the republican party of lowa upon prohibi- tion, which has become the settled pelicy of the state, and upon which there should be no backward step. We stand for the com- plete enforcement of the law. 6. That we extend a bearty welcome to the four new states which have been wo_long knocking at the door of the union, and wo congratulate them on the republican success, whereby their admission into the sisterhood of states was 8o happily achieved, 7. That we deplore the loss of life” on our railways and the dangers attenaing so many. of our citizens engaged in raiway employ- ment, and we urge upon the legislature to take such practical steps as will secare all possible protection to this class of our people, 8, That we favor the establishment of cours of arbitration for the settlement of tue differences between corporations and labor organizations. 9, That we profoundly sympathize with bona fide settlers on the Des Moines river lands, and we express hope that in the end they will be made secure in the rights to which they are entitled, 10, That we earnestly indorse the emi- nently wise, vigorous and courageous admin- isuration of Governor Larrabee, aud we ap- prove his policy that all laws shail be fear- lessly nonestly enforced. ‘The platform was adopted with enthusiasm and the convention adjourned.

He says the pil- lagers ou that reservation are in a deadly quarrel over the presence of the commission, and about equally divided 88 between those who are willing to sign and those who are opposed, the latter threatening death to the first person who signs. .As & consequence, no one has yet signed, and the commission- ers have devoted their wholeefforts so far to preventing conflicts. The opponents are, the runuer states, fully armed with Win- chester rifles, and have gone so far as to threaten all whites on the reserve. 'Lhe commissioners are safely lodged at a ranch.

Checkered Career of the Late Judge Terry's Wife. A WARRANT FOR FIELD'S ARREST Mrs. Terry Eager to FProsecute the Justice—Nagle Says That the Victim Was Armed With a Knife. Remembered at Her Old Home, Care GIRARDEAU,Mo., August 15.—[Special Telegram to Trr Bre, |—Sarah Althea Hill, whoso stormy career in California has given her national notoriety, was borpsin’this town thirty-nine years ago. She comes of good stock, her fatber being Samuel Hill, a prom- inent attorney, and her mother Julia Sloan, the daughter of a wealthy lumber dealer. She has one brother, Hiram Morgan Hill, Her parents died in 1854, leaving the two orphans an estate of $40,000, Sarah 1s re- lated to some of the best families in the county. She attended school at Danville, Ky., and finally graduated from St. Vincent convent, this town, She had a governess in the person of a Mrs. Barrall, sister of ex- Congressman Hatcher. Hor grandfather, Hiram Sloan, was her guardian, aud appears to have held a slack rein. The young woman developed a spirited temper, and soon after reaching legal age made her money fly, She grew up into womanhood in much her own way, and was noted for her beauty and temper. She was 8 *‘schemer” above all things, and this made her unpopular among her girl companions. It was said of her,too, that though she was a spendthrift, she worshipped money and gave her attention mostly to those who possessed it. She is remembered by her friends here something of a flirt, and at one time is said to have had three engagements to marry on her hands. One of the parties, Leandor, is now a prominent politician in southeast~ ern Missouri, and auother resides in St. Louis, Her conquests were nuvmer- ous during the time she held sway. She was fast, but her name ‘was never tarnished with scandal, In love affairs Sarah was tyrannical and more than one of her lovers had to suifer her iron rule and eccentric whims. It is said she really loved one young fellow named Will Shaw. They were engaged to be married, but as the result of a tiff the young man de- termined to break the engagement. Sarah heard of this, and when next he called she was 80 charming that he pressed his suit with more ardor than ever, when she had her revenge by snubbing him. The story Roes that she really wanted and_expected him to return, but he did not, and in Sep- tember, 1870, disgusted and broken-hearted, and with only the shadow of her fortune, she started for California. A yo\lonc‘g uncle named William Sloan ac- companied her to the coast. He was wealthy and took his handsome niece to his mother's home. Sarah and the old lady did not live in harmony and Sloan gave the girl a fine suit of rooms ina hotel. It was there she met Senator Sharon. Her brother Hiram 18 also on the coast. No Sympathy for Terry. New YORK, August 15.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The newspapers all over the country, according to telegrams receiyed to- day, comment freely on the killing of Judge Terry, in California, Saturday, and with re- markable unamimity. Not one, so far as heard from; “expresses sympathy for that brilliant but réckless man, who met such a tragic fate. Tho concensus of editorial opinion seems to be that no regret is to be expressed; that Broderick has, in aslight measure, been avenged after many years, and that his slayer, who sowed the wind, bas reaped the whirlwind. Veraict of the Jury. ST0CRTON, Cal., August 15.—At the inquest last night over the body of Judge Terry no new fucts were developed.

If it is refused the matter will be ap- pealed, United States Marshal Franks has secured from Naglo the details of the affair, Nagle says he is confident that Terry drew back his hand after striking Jus- tice Field for the purpose of pulling from bis coat a knifo he was presumed to be carrying, as he once made afiidavit that he always went armed. It is the theory of those about the United States wmarshal’s of- fice that Mrs, Terry, when she threw herself on her husband’s body, took a weapon from him, though when the body was searched no weapon was found. The warrant upon which the arrast of Jus- tice Fleld i expected to bo_mado was issuod by Justico of the Peace H. V. J. Swain, of Stockton, and s addressed to the sherift of the county. The sheriff can not arrive in this city until to-night, and it is thought probable that he will not attempt to serve the warrant until to-morrow. No course hus ‘been outlined by the friends of Justice Field 88 to the action he will take under tho oir- cumstances, beyond the statement made by the attorneys for Nagle in Stockton to-day that Justice Field would appear at any time if desired. The warranu for his arrest was issued_solely upon complaint of Miss Terry, who did not witness the shoot- ing, 80 far as tho evidence given before the coroner’s jury showed. In fact, no evidence was given connecting the justice with the tragedy in any way, beyond the fact that he was assaulted by Terry. For this reason the attorney who appeared for the state, in the absence of the district attorney, refused to issue a warrant, and 1t was issued on Mrs, Terry's complaint in consequence, A Warrant for Judge Field, SrockToN, Cal., August 15.—A warrant was issued to-day for the arrest of Stephen J. Field, on complaint of Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry, who charges him with complicity in the killing of her husband, David 8. Terry, ot Lathrop, yesterday. Sheriff Cunningham left here for San Francisco this afternoon to arrest Justice Field, The attorneys who have been auglrbd to conduct the defense of Deputy Marshal Nagle promised that Justice Field would appear when wanted, but Mrs, Terry's complaint was made against both, The funcral of Judge Terry will be held Friday, The body is still at the morgue. Mrs, Terry bas not left it at any time, The All-Absorbing Topic. BaAN FraNC1800. August 15.—The killing of David 8. Terry yesterday by Deputy Mar- shal Nagle is still the chief tople of discu: sion here, though no developments have arisen peyond what was outlined in the dis- patches yesterday. Justice Field resumed his judiclal duties to-day, and sat in the cir- cuit court with Judge Sawyer and Judge D. 8. Brewer, of Kausas. He referred freely in conversation with attorneys and his asso- clates to the exciting incidents of yesterday's tragedy. He s -v,fil constantly under the gmuellorl of & deputy marshal, as is also udge Sawyer. —————— The Treasury Surplus, WasniNGroN, August 15.—The light offer- ings of bonds has resulted in & steady in- crease in the treasury surplus, which, ac- cording to the treasurer's statement to-day, now amounts to §70,800,000, being the high- est point reached since October last.

Vo et e s CHIEF ARTHUR'S CRANCES § An Interview With One of His Sup- porters in Chicago. Cr1cAco, August 15.—[Speoial Telogram to Tne Ber.]—The members of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Bugineers are begin- ning to ““warm up” over their annual con- wvention, which is to be held in Denver in Octwober. The principal business will be the eloction of a successor to Chief Arthur, and there is a great deal of earnest canvassing going on over it. That there is some opposition to Arthur's re-elec- tion even his most ardent admirers admit, but the prevailing opinion among the con- servatives is that the ‘“old man” will pull through all right. One of the best posted men in Chicago on brotherhood affairs said to-da; “I don't anticipate much opposition to Mr. Arthur. There will be some, of course, but he will be re-elected all right enough. The brotherhood is essentially a conservative organization, and the conservative element is naturally going to run it. There are but fow among us who_favor a _federation for that very reason. We want to preserve our couservatism. The brotherhood, for instance, is opposed to strikes, because wo believe that in nine casesoutof ten the points we are after can be gained without them. If we wore to amalgamate with other railway organizations mora radical in their beliefs we might often be forced into strikes against our better judgement.” - THE OLD DOMINION. Virginia .Democrats Nominate, and Denounce the Republican Party. Rronmoxp, Va, August 15.—The state democratic convention met at 10 o'clock this morning and proceeded to take a second bal- lot for governor. Before the roll call was completed Captain Phil McKiuney was nom- mated by acclamation. J. Hoge Tyler, of Pulaski, was nominated for leutenant governor by acclamation. The convention next proceeded to make a nomination for attornoy general, the names of several can- didates being presented. A recess was then taken until 4 this afternoon, Upon reassembling the convention nomi- nated for attorney general R. Q. Scott, of Fauquier. Basil B. Gordon, of Rappahanock county, was selected chairman of the stute central committee, The platform was then adopted and the convention adjourned sine die. The platform opens with the declara- tion of the people of the state that, through the wise legislation and administration of the democratic party, the public schools have been preserved in eficient operation and their accommodations extended; that the resources necessary for the conduct of the government in all its departments have been secured, and that the debt question has been put in the line of final and acceptable settlement. We would reprobate as mischevious to all inter- osts,” runs tho text, ‘‘the reopening of an issue which has been the sourch of so much embarrassment and vexation to the common- wealth and with the continnance of the party administration which has dealt with it so ably and wisely, we confidently look to its solution upon the lines of adjustment which the democratic representatives have faith- fully executed.” The platform closes thus: ‘“We oppose the republican party as the party of high taxes, of the corrupt and extravagant ex- penditure of the public revenues, of unjust and oppressive treatment of the people of the southern states, as the croator of trusts and the promoter of monopolies. We oppose the republican party as the stirrer up of strife between races, as a false friend to the col- ored race and an enemy to the white race.” —_—— Colonel New Cited for Contempt. INDIANAPOLIS, August 15.—Mr. Harry New, proprietor of the Journal, was before the criminal court this afternoon on a cita tion for contempt. The Journal printed an article in referende to the insane hospital 1n which severe charges reflecting on the man- agement were made, Dr, ‘Wright, the su- perintendent, sent a letter to the grand jury asking that body to investigate the charges, New was called before the grand jury to-day and questioned as to the authorship of the article. He promptly refused to divulge the desired information, elaiming it would break a long established journalistic rule. He was at once cited before Judge Irwin, and as there seemed to be no special necessity for immediate action the court announced that the case would go over to the next grand jury. New was accordingly at once released on his own recognizance. B e — Steamship Arrivals. At New York—The Teutonic, from Liver- pool; the City of New York, from Liverpool.

Opinion Divided to Whether the Break Will Spread—Southern Sole diers at Least Will Attend the Encapment. Grand Army Men Jubilant. Cnrcaao, August 13.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bre.]—Grand Army veterans are Jubilant over the action of the Monon road in making the cent-a-mile rate to the Milwau- kee encampment. To tho most of the veter- ans it looks like a soramblo on the part of all the roads to make the rato which, up to the Monon's notice, had been refusod unani- mously. The Kankakee, running botween Chicago and Cincinnati, promptly duplicated the notice of the Mouon. All the vetorans from south of the Ohio river and from southern Ohio and aud Indiana aro cortain of the ““fought-and-died"-for rate of a cent a mile to the encampment, General Passen- gor Agont Barker, of the Monon, explained the reduced rate as follows: “'Wo learned definitely that tho Pane handle would make the rate of @ cent a mile and forstalled the move by making it oursolves. More than that, we contracted this mormng for the transportas tion of all veterans from Indianapolls, Cine cinnati and Louisville," Opinions vary as to the possible spread of the cent-a-mile rate. Chairman Abbott, of the Western States Passenger association, does not believe it will go beyond the Monon, Kankakee and possivly tho Panhandle. Vice President McMullen, of the Alton, than whom there is no botter judge of railroad matters, thinks that at the very least every rate south of the Ohio river and cast of the Mis- sissippi will be affected, as woll as rates from all points east of Ciccinnati. Secrotary Fulton, of the Ohio River Traffic association, of which the Monon, Kankakee and Pan: handle are members, agroes with Vice Pres- ident McMullen. Should this view be cor- rectitis very likely that the cent-a-mile rate will spread in all dircctions. ‘The brealk would then come from such roads as the Illinois Central, which has a line to New Orleaus. The other southern lines, connecting at Cincinnati and Louisville with the Monon and Kankakee, will manifestl do the bulk of the business unless the IlIiY nois Central ‘gets on the band wagon.” Should the Iilinois Central make the rate it will bo extended to St. Louis, and all the westorn and southwestern roads must meet it. On the other hand, tho eastern_connec- tions at Cincinnati of the Monon and Kanka- kee will do the bulk of the business unless the central trafiic and trunk line roads make the cent-a-mile rate. The whole rate mechamsm is 8o finely ad- justed that good judges do not sce any way out of the trouble now excopt for every road to make the cent-a-mile rate. The Pennsylvania ofticials _held a confer- ence in Pittsburg to-day, to discuss the posi- tion of the Panhandle, An apparently au- thentic rumor became current here in the evening that the Panhandle would probably still further lower the rate. Assistunt Gen- eral Passenger Agent Adams, of the Penn- sylvania, had not been notified of any action at the close of offfee hours to-day. The Alton Still Kicking. Ci10AGo, August 15.—The Chicago & Al- ton, at a meeting of the southwestorn aiyie si0n of the Western Freight association to- duy, claimed that the action of the Santa Fe in excluding it from participation in through rates on cattle from west of the Mississippa river to Chicago, absolved it from 1its agree- ment with that road and that ft would here- after make rates to suit 1tself. Chairman Midgoly was of the opinion that the Alton had the right to protect its through business by meeting the rates of its competitor, The Rock Island and Sauta Fe dissented from this opinion and the question was argued for several hours, the meeting finally udjourning without reaching any conclusion, PoRTLAND, Ore., August 15.—Articlos of incorporation wero filed here to-day for the Portland & Puget Sound railroad company. | The capital stock s fixed at $5,000,000, die videa into 50,000 shares. The object of the corporation is to construct and equip a rail- road and telegraph line from Portland te Se- attle, Wash., with several branch lines. One of tho branches is to extend to Grays Har- bor and another to Portlownsend. The company also is empowered to purchase, lease, opérate and maintain raflron branches and telegraph lines, to purchase real estate, to build docks, piers, hote warehouses, etc., and borfow monoy au issue bonds. Strong Will Probably Resign. 1osToN, August 15.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee.]--It is very generally believed bere that if President Strong, of the Atchis son, Topeka & Santa Fe rallroad company has not resigned,he will do so at a very early date. It has been for some time an open se~ cret that he has not been at all at ease in his _ position since Mr. Magoun, of Kidder, Peae body & Co., became director. Mr. Magou 18 essentially a railroad financier, whil Mr, Strong is a practical manager. Each is perhaps unexcelled in his department, but weither is an adept at the other's work, 80 when Magoun 1nsists upon interfering with the working of the system, President Strong objects, and there secms to be little room for doubt that finding his objections vain, ho has decided to quit, N T (v MONDAY NIGHT'S STORM.
