THE UNION PACIFIC EXPLAINS The Present Coatract Superior to the Tripartite Alliance. THAT WAS A PULING AFFAIR. Great Things Expected of the North- western_ Deal—-Opéning of the Ilinols Central Baidge at Cairo, The Union Pacific is Confident. BostoN, Oct. “The following is . the Union Pacific view of the Unien Pacific- Northwesferir alliance ifi answer to the question : “How do es this contract differ from tho old tripartite aliiance?" “The tripartite contract was with three allies, ahd prematufe. The present is a much closer alliance with one ally and is matui o, strongor than when it made the wripartit o aliiance and is more able to back t up. If the Rock Island says the tripartite ngree- ment is still in force then it must give us all its Denver business, ana for what purpnso is the Rock Island 'now n Denveri The tripartite was broken by the. withdrawal of the Northwestern and made worthless by the building of other lines westward. The Northwestern was alreaay reaching to Den- ver and might soon start for more. western points. Now instead of of a competitor the Northwestern becomes a close ally,extending our system to Lake Superior and Chicago, and, if aeed be, to the Atlantic seaboard throuch the Vanderbilt lines. The North- western takes care of the whole of our we: bound traffic and we take care of tho ea bound business for ten years with an arbi- tration board to preveat friction.” bonsolidation the Great Question. Cnicaco, Oct. 29.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—The subject of railway con- solidation 18 the all-absorbing one in Chicago. The Union Pacific-Northwestern arrange- ment has already fallen among rocky piaces, as shown by the remarks of & North- westorn official that their through trains wouid run through to Portiand instead of San Francidco, #s contemplated. This shows that the Southern Pacific has already re- fused the use of its old Central Pacific lino to the combination. The North- ern ‘ Pacific, too, cannot bo expected to be perfctly bpassive at the prospect of having the cream of its passenger trafiic diverted to the lines of its hated rival, the Union Pacific. The most absutd consolida- tions have been formed on paper, and with no other foundation than the imaginations of space writers. That there are, as'yet, con- solidations in prospect, every raitway official in Chicago seems to believe. The niost, au- thentic is that the Rock lsland will combine in some way with the Missouri, Kansas & Texas and extend its lines to'the Gulf of Mexico. A Rock Island official assuted your representative to-day that a_very. import- ant deal would be ripe for publication within forty-eight hours, and the abave conclusion is not wholly a guess. President Cable is now in New York arranging the details. Popular opinion is agreed that within_ three years all the important lines west of the Missouri and most of the im- portant lines will be consolidated in four grand organizations. In no case are the de- tails fully worked out, but the basis for three are the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Northern Pacific systems, with' either th Rock Island or Burlington as a competitor on the Pacitic coast. One or the other of the last two must build through to the Pacific or be placed 1 an_ extremely embarrassing po- sition. Many level-headed railroad men be- iieve that both will push their lines to the arrman Faithorn Returnd, Crucaco, Oct. 20.—[Special Telegram to Tug Bee|—Chairman Faithoen,” ot . the Western Freight assoclution} returnetd’ to- day from New York, where he has been in consultation with trunk lines and central traffic oflicials relating to the raising of Northwestern rates to the old basis exisiing before the Burlington & Northern reduced the proportion of the through rate 75 per cent and the local rutes 831¢. Chairman Faithorn was in exceilent, humor over. the resuit of the conference. Said he: *'It seems to me the way is perfactly clear 10 an advance in rates. All interests were represented at the New York meeting ana all were satisfied.” “On what basis did the Burlington & Northern agreo to the advance?” 3 “That the Chicago-St. Paul roads bo treated by the trunk lines exactly as are the Canadian lines.” :Did the yrun lines erree) es.” The ahove is the most cheering news the Chicazo 8t. Paul lines haye heard jn_years. Iv_means that the trunk lines will prorate With the northwestern lines or cease pro- rating with Canadian lines—-in any event, that the Chicago-St. Paul lines will be on a perfect equality with the Canadian lines in compéting for morthwest- ern business. Heretofore, for some reason bestknown to themselves, the trunk lines have preferred that trafile’ originating in their territory sball pass through Canada before it reaches the northwestern states and territories. A special meeting of the northwestern di- visions of the Western Freight association has been called for to-movrow to cousider the matter. There is no reasonable doubt that an amicable conclusion will bo reached, and that the rates will bo restored by the close of navigation. 1n the Snge Consolidasion, INDIANAPOLIS, Oct, 20.—Mr, Pierce, trustee of the Indianopols, Decatur & Western, says that his road 1 to go into Russel Sace's big consolidation and be made the conneet- ing link between the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the Iowa Central, in_connection with the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville, which will be used between Decatur and Peoria.

Many votaries of the national gasie have been free with their avowals ofivbelief in the suggested skullduggery. +©ne director went 80 far as to declare that if Selee occasioned any 'dificulty over the Cooney- Nagle deal and made an effort to defraud the Omaha management out of these two valuable players, that the whole Western association would be disrupted, and Iitigation instituted and pushed to the bitior end. Avother mattgr that savors much of crooked dealing 18 the fact that Cincinnati was not allowed; to negotiate with Kid Nichols, after they had to all inte: and purposes purchased his release in an open and above board manner. The men at the head of the Cincinnati club are good business men and conduct their affairs 1n a business-like manner, as the writer knows of his own personal knowledge, They, of course, did not intend to pay over the money to Omaha until Nichols had been communicated with, and secured beyond cavil and dispute. Nichols was really and squarely sold to them, and in responso to Presideat Me- Cormick’s draft on them for the money. President Stern telegraphed back that the draft would not be honored until their ngent had seen Nichols, Now Cincinnati alleges that Omaha bad received a bigger ofter for the Kid after their figures had been accepted, and that this offer came from Manager Selee in behalf of the Boston ciub, They further assert that Selee spirited the Kid away: that he took him to Boston, where be is now, and where he is to remain next season as a meinber of the Boston team, They claim that an option has been given Selee on this promising young twirler, and that there is no probability of his ever returning to Omaha to play ball. These opinions are all verified by the telograms from Boston, which have re- peatedly announced Nichols as & member of next yemr’s team. However, President Mc- Cormick declares that neither Nichols, Cooney or Nagle have been disposed of to any club, and that they will play ball in Omaha or nowhers, if there is equity or justice in the national agreement. He is anything but pleased with Selee's actions these maigers, ana wrote him a volume or two last night that will probably be full of surprises for Omaha's quandom manager. The annual meeting of tho Western asso- ciation will convene at the West house, Min- neapolis, next Saturday and that, there will be music in the air no one posted upon the questionable status of western base ball affurs will for, a moment doubt.

Mr. Fostor, counsel for Beggs, said on the latter's behdlf that he wantoed the records to show thatmo objection 48 made on his part tothe introduction of this testimony. He inyites tho fullest and clearest investigation of bis connection with the Clan-na-Gael, dnd objects to the introduction of no tésti- mony that will forward such an investi- gation. 5 At the opening of Judge McConuell's court this morning Mrs. Widifred Dioan, wife of Patrick Dinan, the liv- eryman who owns the famous white horse, took the stand as a witness. She testified to the facts aboutthe white horse being taken and driven north on the night of May 4, and his return at 9:30 o'clock, steaming with per- spiration as if he bad been driven hard. John F. O'Connor, & member of tho famous Camp 20, of the Clan-na-Gael, of which Beggs, Burke, Coughlin and other suspects were members, was next placed on the stand, O'Counor was recording secretary of the camp when Beggs was senior guardian, After numerous details as to tho various ways and methods of transacting business, the wituess testifiod that on February § last Thos. F', O'Connor at & meeting of the camp asked if the report of this trial com- mittee that tried what is now known as tne trinugle had ever been heard, Beggs said it had not. O’Connor then said it was strange that the camp never got a report when he heurd it read in another camp in the city. Tho name of the man who read it in the other was understood by O'Connor as Dr. Cronin, After a long wrangle between the lawyers the court admitted the record of the proceed- ings of Camp 20 on February 8, mado by the witness at the time, and he proceeded to read it, subject to many interruptions in the way of questions and objections. Generally, in referring to individual members of the cump, numbers instead of names were used, and in one case in_which it was noted that ' certuin numbers were appointed a committee to in- vestigate the qualifications of an applicant for membership, the state atworney said he proposed to show that one of them was l‘:umhel' borne by one of the prisoners at the Coming down to the matter of the camp's action on the supposed allegations against Dr. Croniu in connection with the trial of the triangle in Buffalo, the wituess read as fol- lows: “*Moved and seconded that an imperative demand be made on the executive committee at once for the immediate 1nformation of the trial committee, 1t was amended that the senior guardian notify the district memb of tue report that is going around regardi the reporv of the trial committec 1 the camps of this city. The motion W ried. A motion was made and second a secret committeo of three be appointed by the senior guardian to investizate the ru- mors atloat regarding tho trial of the ex- exeentive body. Carried.” “The senior guardian witness suid, “'was John the men now on trial.!’ ! The examination then proceeded as fol- lows Q.—What occurred there before the mo- tions were mude on this committee ! A.—As 1 stated before, it was Tom O’Con- nor's remurks and askiog if we got the re- port of the committee that tried the triangle, as it is now called, Beges saia that we hadn't, and O'Connor said it was strange that our camp never got it; that he heard it read in another camp in this city and that he could tell the name of the man who vead 1t und the camp be heard it in, if it was desired, Au effort was made to show by the wit- ness that there was a consultation between himself aod Michael J. Kelly, A, J. Ford and P. H. Noldn about the advisability of destroying the books of the camp, but the defense objected and the court sustained the objection. ‘Y'he witness further testified that the trial of the triangle, as he understood the matter, 100k place in Buffalo inOctober, 1858, and that the members of the triangle on' triul were Sullivan, Feeley and Boland. The cross examination of the then began. After the afternoon session Audrew Foy, a member of Camp 20, was put- on the stand us a witness, He was very non-committal, and with tho greatest pertinacity avoided giving a positive answer even to the m innocent question. Finally he was brought 10 admit that he made a speech _at Camp 20 when the matter of the report of the triangle trial committee came up. He made s | attempts to explain the circumstances under which he maae the speech and gov badly tangled up. Fmally he said: *'As far as [ remember Captain O'Connor made the statement that Le Caron was the d agent of the executive body of the Irish tion 1n ts country.” He also said: “I think there were £55,000 of the funds of this organization given to Le Caron for some ob) in England or Ire land.” Foy also sald O'Connor spoke of having heard the report of the committee re ceived in another camip, This caused much excitement and was the cause of the wit- ness’ speech F2is unger caused, he said, by the thought that Le Caron got and of the Clan’s funds for any purpose, and also to learn that the reportof the trial committee had been given out in other camps sooner than in camp 2. Michael J. Kelly, junior guardian of camp 20, told of the proccedings, though his memory was defloit as to details. He smd the demand for the report of thi trial committee grew outof O'Connor's statement to the effect that ho bad Leard the report of the commitier read in the camp of which Cronm was a member, by Crouin him- self. This statement, by the way, is in con- tradiction of the evidence on ' this subject heretofore given und of all the statements, which have agreed in saying that O'Connor did not mention Cronin’s name, wne cross exumination of Kelly brought out the fact that although he koew of the trial of the triungle ue did not know who constituted that body until their names were published in the newspapers.

At the meeting of the council last night the mayor presented u veto of the ordinance calling u special election to vote on the ques- tien of voting of bonds in the sum of $150,000 in aid of the Union depot company on the ground that the city’s interests are not prop- erly protected in ithe ordinance. The veto was sustained and a new ordinarce was in- troduced as a substitute for the one vetoed. The provisions of this ordinance, not in- corporated in the origiual, are as follow The Union Depot company shall “main- tain” as well as construct the union depot in accordance with the plans and specifications already adopted; the bonds shall be dated January 1, 1891, "and shall not be delivered until the viaduct has boen built and open for use, and at least 150,000 cxpended toward the construction of the union depot; and that, in case any road is damaged by the refusal of the Union Pacific railway company to rent its bridge at reasonable rates, the $200,000 bonds required of the said company shull be avauable for the paymen The date for ordianc oveu ber 30, Mr. Wh wanted the rate of interest on the bonds fixed at 4 per cent, but was 1ot successful. ‘Ihe ordinance was read and re- ferred to the committee on viaduets a railways and the city attorney. “The mayor also vetoed the “resolution ex- tending the tume for the sittings of the boards of registration, elaiming — “This 18 cl violation of the law the state, which spscify that the registraty shall be heid upon eertain days and tho: days only.

Some member of the council caught a fina! grading estimate and wanted to know if the contractors had replaced the sidewalks.
