MAJOR WARNER WILL ACCEPT That Is the General Opinion Among His Friends. LET OMAHA BE UP AND DOING. The Threé Americas Excursion Wil Ignore Cities That Do Not Make Due Preparations Kor Its Reception. 518 FoURTEENTH STRERT, Wasmisaros, D, C., Sept. i5. Major Warner, of Kansas City, who was osterdiuy morning teaderad the commis. sionership of pensions, spent the day out in the vicinity of Tacoma park, whero a beauti- ful summer hotel is located and Washing- tonfans frequently spend Sundays during the hot months. ‘Those who talked to him report that he will accopt the commissionership and predict that the commission, which was left for him by President Hacrison befors start- ing to Deer park yesterday, will bo delivered some time this week, it is understood that Major Warner will immodiately enter upon his official duties when he receives his com- mission. It is customary for the commis- sioner of pensions to make his annual report to the secretary of the interior during the last days of October, 80 that the secretary can incorporate the pension statistics 1 his report to the president, from which the latter makes up apart of his message to congross, The new commissioner will flnd the bulk of the worlk in the annual report realy. The statisties aro finishod and it will only be necessary to put the report in proper form. LET OMAHA TAKE HEED. Mr. William E. Curtis, who has chargo of the excursion to be given to the foreiga dele- gates to the International Amarican con gross, told Tuz Bee correspondent to-day that unless the people of Omaha showed some intercst in’ the proposed visit of the excursion to that place it would bs omitted from the programme and some other eity in the west substitated. The timo for the ex- cursion was necessarily limited, and there are many places clamoring for a visit Omaha was placed upon the list without any instruction from the business men of that city, for it was supposed that they would be glad to receive and entertain the dis- tinguished party. The mayor of Omaha and Senators Manderson and Paddock and Congressman Connell were notified of the intention to go there aud were asked to muke arrangements for the proper reception of the party. Both senators hive acknowl edgzed the receipt of the notification and have reported that the commercial organizations of Omaha hud been informed of the plans, but nothing since bas been heard Omaha, and unless some hing is done other city will be substituted. Kansas ignored the proposition of a visit frc international congress and she was tuken out of the route of the excursion. TIE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CONCLAY During the past two or three days requests for sleeping rooms and hotel accommodations for the Kniwhts Templar conclave, to be held here next mounth, come in so rapudly that the landlords ' are likely to make a combine und raise prices. The proprictors of the leading hotels told you correspondent to-day thatthe prospects were that greater demands would be made for hotel necommodations than there was during: the lust presidential wauzuration. The e clave will continue forseveral duys, whereas the show on inauguration diy occupied but a few hours und the visitors were enabled to come here 1n the morning, o il that the was to bo so £0 away before night, making it unnesessury to ure slecping places.

CK ON TANNEIL snator Paddock in couversation with T Bre correspondent to-day said: “I have secn no indication of a change in the intentioa of the president indicated to ma whea [ was here some weeks ao to appoint Judge Groff commissioner of the general land office. 1 think the appointment will bo made very soon,” ‘The senator upon being asked thonght would succeed Mr. Tanucr as®com missioner of pensions, replied: “I believe that it will finally be accepted by Major Wurner, but whoover may receive the ap pointment there will be uo sten backward as 10 the liberal policy respecting the pension vights of ex-soldiers by this administration. “The presldent and Sccretary Noble are in fuvor of the most liberal legislation possib! and will bo sure to give th soldier the b ofit of every doubt under the present laws in consideriug his claim tor pension rolief, 1 think the Panuer episode for many reasons very much to be doplored, but in the end eficial results will follow to the ex-sol jers of the late war from the travsierof Mr. wnner to anothier fiold of dutv.

G, SEI MORNT THEY WILL BREAK THE RING. Master and Operative Cotton Spin- ners Have Combined. THEGENERAL SLCRETARY TALKS, He Says That No Strike Is Contem- plated But That the Mononoly Wil be Broken—How it Will be Done. fawdsley Interviewed, [Copyright 1889 by Tamss Gordon Beansth. Sept. 165.—|N. Y. Herald Special to Tne Bre.|—The master and operative cotton spinners have decided to endeavor to break down the cotton ring in Liverpool by working half time during this month. James Mawdsley, gencral secretary of the operatives, was willing to talk. The plans and purposes of the operatives in this matter are in harmony with the masters, and any question of a strike is not thought of. Mawdsloy was found at the association’s oftices and at once entered into the great subjoct. *You ask me what about this cotton cor- ner. Well, wo as operatives are acting in harmony with the masters, and we hope to break down the monopoly.’ “‘But how,” the reporter asked, “does the corner affect you! It is the masters who have to pay the demanded price.” “*An enhanced price 18 demanded from the spinner, but that is not all; he cannot afford to pay it and so preferss to stop his mill, You must uvderstand that spinners, with very few exceptions, buy their cotton each weck as they dispose of thewr yarn. At the commencement of the season there 18 a certain quantity of Ameri- can cotton put on the market and durine the month of September, which is the termmation of one season and the com- mencement of another, there is as a natural consequence the leust cotton iv the market. Now is the time that the ring tries to make a big profit by becoming holders of all the cotton remaining unsold, so that the spinner who wants to keep his mill on must buy from the riag or close his place.” Have you been troubled with these rings previously 17 0N, yes, the temptation to make a loy of money at one fell swoop is so great that many men have tried to corner the business It will be within the recollection of the wen- eral public that Morris Ranger failed in his purpose to carry on a corner in the cotton trade successfully and failed for an enormous amount. Then there was an American spec- ulator who aiso failed and the trade are de- termined to break down the present corner, which is managed by a Duten Jew in Liver- pool, with half a dozen assistants.” “What capital has he got” “Well, he has bought 150,000 bales of cotton, which will cost him £1,500,000. Now if he buys at 78 and by a voluntary lockout we compel him to sell at 83 to get rid of his stock before the new cotton comes in, he will lose 500,000, “Are corners always pool?” “No, previously corners have been worked vy syndicates in New York aud Liyerpool, but as faras I cun gather at the present time, the trouble 1s centered in Liverpool, and Americans have no hand in 1. *'Has not some courso of action been de- cided upon for another season i “No, though we propose to the masters tuat instead of working full time until the tail end of the season and putting themselves at the mercy of the corner, it would be better to make the short time gradual, which would leave more raw material on the market and there wonid be less chance of any corner being establishea. We are quite willing to work half time dur- ing September, cither three days a week for the month or a total stoppage of a fortnight, and if the corner is not broken the musters are considering whether another fortnight's rest should not be given in October.” “But don't operatives object to short time?” No, you see they get from 15 shillings to £1 per week when they are not working and they are generally rather glad of a holiday.” ““What area does your association caver?” ‘Practically the whole cotton trade, in- cluding Lancashire and the border counties, which covers Derbyshire, Chesshire and Yorkshire. There arc a few outside mills in Glasgow, Hull and Bristol, but really our association covers the whole of the trades aund any action ou our part would govern the trade and effect 16,000 men,” “When do you decide about the short time n October?” “That is left to the masters, If thoy get @ two-thirds majority of the spviuners in favor of another fortnight's stoppage the operatives' association will enforce it, and if there are any mills who object to stop after the master’s ussoctation have come to a de. cision we shall withdraw our men for the required time. Also if there are any mills who have not worked the half time during September we shail compel them to make up the leisure time in October so that all masters will be on an equality, It has only been by united action in the past that corners bave been broken and they witl be broken down again. “Are not these operations rathor costly to the operatives association 17 “Yes, they are. A fortnight's idleness in ptember will cost us £24,000, and if we have to stop men another fortnight in Oc- tober, 1t will be nearly £50,000, but it is to be hoped that the spinuers will work together within another season and prevent the possi- bility of a corner,” A DELUGE OF TELEGRAMS, centered in Liver- Premler Crispi Receives 2,000 Mes sages of Congratalation. Roxe, Sept. 15,—[Special Cablegram to Tue Hee|—Premier Crispi, who was as- saulted in his carriage by Caporali the other day, hus so far recovered that he is now able to attend to state affairs, He has re- ceived 2,000 telegrams congratulating him upon his escape. Among these are messages from Prince Bismarck, Lord Salisbury, Mr, Gladstone, Count Kalnoky and other foreign stutesmen, King Humbert sent a telegram every two hours inquiring as to Signor Crispi’s condition. Signor Crispi suys that on the mormung ot the assault he noticed Caporali spying about his residence. After throwing the stone at the premier,, Caporali jumped into the carriage and struck Signor Crispi on the chin with a sharpened stone weighing about apound, This stone was afterward found in the carriage, ‘The blow made u deep cut and injured the juw bone.

Six flremen were caught by falling walls and killed and two more are reported ntissing. Thoir names are notknown, The men were working close up to the building when the rear walls fell, catch- ing them, The bodies of four men were taken out fearfully mangled. The building fronts on Main tween Sixth and Seventh. The alarm was sounded at ten minutes to 11 and ten min- utes later the flames were bursting from the windows on the third floor, Within five minutes more a part of the roof fell in. The fire department worked energetically, but it was soon scen that nothing could save the building and their efforts were directed to- ward saving the Louisville hotel, two doors away. That building was smoking and it was a half hour's hard fight to save it. The servants were taken from the second and third floors by ladders. A conservative estimate of Bamburger, Bloom & Co.’s 10ss 18 £500,000. At 12:30 the fire is still burning slow), two or three smuller stores are being con- sumed, Later—At 1:30 the fire was completely under control. It is now known definitely that six firemen were kiled by the falling walls. The bodies of five have beon re- covered. Ed Early, Sam Stocklighter, John han and Pat Foley. - THE FASTEST AFLOAT. The Baltimoré Breaks All Man-of- War Records. Primaberein, Sept. 15.—The new stoel cruiser Baltimors, which left her dock at Cramp's ship yard Wednesday last, returned this afternooun. A Lroom fastened to the foremast and another to the mainmast were public cvidences of the success obtained by the buiiders of the ve Her com- mander, Captain Schley, said the trip was entirely successful and the engines were all right and worked admirably. The vessel went about ninety miles out, and 18 a beauti- fulsailer. He added: ? “You can be porfeetly confident in snying that she is the fastest man-of-war affoat.” The Baltimore anchored off the light ship John, the weather being too rough for trial. Friday morning a preliminary trial was had and Saturday she ‘went out for her regular oficial four hours triul, All the data and the indicator cards were taken every fifteen minutes from both euds of every cylin- der on the ship, which made for throe hours an average of about twenty and two-tenths knots an hour in a pretty rougn sea. 7The trial indicates, 1t is said, that she is the fastest vessel of her tonnage afloat and tho fastest man-of-war of any country. The Baltimore ran straight ahead a1l the’ time. There was nothing since she left the dock antil berreturn that ocoasioued any stop- ping. stroet be- Mona- —e——— SOUTH DAKOTA'S POLITICS.

A number of tents vitched last evening were wrocked during a heavy storm that prevailed about 10 o'clock and had to be repitched to-day. Some unac- countable delay in the arrival of camp cquipage has occasioned considerable vexation in getting the camp in ship shape until about noon to-day A drizzling rain set in this morning that has somewhat dampened the ardor of the boys enthusiasm, but there is a promise of clearing weather for to-morrow.

BeATRICE, Neb., Sept. 15.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bre]—The fiest Sunday in camp has not been without its quota of tribu- lation arising from the late and final arrival of the troops of the Nebrasia brigade. The cavalry company originated a vigorous kick because the company was assigned quarters out of doors, instead of at the Paadock or some other equally good hotel. General Colby tried to coax them to picket th horses at the left of the camp but they would not have it taat way, and the matter was finally compromised by letting them take possession of - the base ball ground: The alternative was thav if this concession was not made the cavalry company would take their horses and go back to Milford. So the cavalry are in possession of the ball grounds and effect- wvely fenced off from the “Do-boys.” John Poliock. of Columbus, Neb., was tho first to fall in the battle of Camp Grant. He tried 0 break a bronec last night aud is now in the hospital with a sprained ankle and a stiff knee. The bronco 18 doing well m a livery stable. John's disability deprives Colonel Harry Phillips of an_orderly for the time, Adjutant General C. O. Bates broke through the guard line this morning and came near having to carry o log for the misdemeanor. 1 Colby says order must be maintained if he has to put every ofifcer in the regiment in the guard hous Church services were very generally at- tended this afternoon and a big crowd of common eitizons went out to sce the brigade parade. It is lucky that the ofiicers have lots of gilt on their uniforms, otherwise it would be difficult to tell wiiich were the buci soldiers, the officers being apparently in the mujority. The usual kiclk about de- ficiont commissary supplics prevails to-day and the boys are thinking of striking for hotel “victuals,”” Two of the gurs belouging 1o the battery are up at Ord, Neb, And the feliows that have them wont send them back, 50 the cannonading is confined to two guns, The guard line extends out beyond the Union Pacific tracks, and the guards are in great tribulation about the trains rofusing to stop at the guard challence, Matters getting down 10 a working busis and the camp will be running smoothly to-morrow.
