~BE TARIFF ON LEAD ORE. An Interview on the Subject With Mr. Guy C. Barton, WHY A DUTY IS DEMANDED, American Mines Brought Into direct Competition With the Cheap Labor and Low Freight Rates of Mexico, Competing With Pauper Labor. Tnr Bre's dispatches from Washington Yesterday said that after a protracted and wvery lively discussion on the question of duty o nlead ore, in connection with the preparation of its tariff bill, the ways and means committee hiad agreed to a duty of 13§ cents per pound on lead ore, Bewg asked his opinion on the matter, C. Harton, president of the Grant smelting and refining company, said: ‘Tho basis of the demana of the load pro- ducers of this country for a dnty upon lead- bearing ores imported is: ‘That thoy cannot work a large percentuge of the lead mines of tho west in competition with ores from Mexico, which are mined at very small ex peuse by reason of the extraordinarily cheap labor in that country, The ores most af- fected by this competition are the silver- bear! a oros of Colorado and other states and territories in the far west. In lead msmelting the lead ores are used as a flux in reducing silver ores which do not carry any Jead. It is therefore plain that if foreign ores arc shipped into this country free to “such an extent as to close down the lead- boearing mines of this country, it not only affects our domestic supply, but curtails the production of silver as well. Many of the ores imported into this country in additton 10 the chienp mining are favored by water transportation at very low rates of freight, while the lead produced in the west is neces- sarily shipped 1o market over raiiroads for long distances. The advisability of the ndoption of a policy by the gov- ernment which will aid in the devel opment of our immenss mining inter- ests is 100 mpparent to require discus slon. An attack upon these industries at this Ltime by permitting the free importa- tion of foreign ores would, in the opinion of men best posted in this mndustry, bo a severo blow to all the communities interested in the production of this metal, ‘I do not care to enter into adetailed state- ment of the arguments touched upon, as tho matter has been fully discussed beforo the secretaryof the treasury and the ways and means committee of the house of represent- auves by ex-Governor Grantand Edward 1ddy of this company, ev-Governor Hauser aod many other prominent men throughout the lead producing region. COOK HEARD FROM. 5t fle Denies That He Suicided and Kiles a Vigorous Kick. The following communication was received yosterday from Oklahoma, and would seem to settlo the fact that Mrs. Henry H.

NO FURTHER DELAYS EXPECTED A New Complication in Missour: River Rates—The Demise of the “Gentleman’a” Association —Interesting Local News, The Work Will bs Pashed, Ground was not broken for the Tenth street viaduct yesterday. However, no one expected it would be. The ordinance. has been passed but before the contractors can commence work settloment must be made with property holaers who own certain ground that the city and depot company reauire before these improvements can be made. All except half o dozen have agroed to take what the appraisement committee awarded them, For those who refuse this award ondemnation proceedin e boing prepared and will bo filed within the next three or four days. The most exorbitant demands come from shop. keepers who have lsases on some of the old framo buildings, especially those south of tho tracks aud opposite the Burlington dovo cote, They are demanding from $3,000 to £5,000 each, and threaten law suits’ unless their demands are met. But no controversy over prices for lots and buildings will be allowed to stand as @ barrier against proceeding with the construction of both viaduct and depot. A contract .for the steel and iron, as well as the building of the via- duct has been awarded to the Detroit Bridge company, and* it gives a bond of 50,000 to have the structure completed within a cer- tain time. October 1 was named in the ad vertisement for bids, but because of these unexpected delays this will necessarily have to be extended probably to November 1. Ernest Stubt _ has' the contract to do all ° the grading aond filling. Mr. Kimball said yesterday that 80 far as the depot company covld control the employment of laborers it proposed to give Omaha men the preference. As regards the depot building it has not been decided whother the work will be given out by contract or performed under super- vision of the company itself. He 15 Satisflod.

Their tes- timony was not very unfavorablo to tho roads. On general principles tho latter tes- tified that ho thonght the rates were too high, though personully ho hadno complaint to make Leoso wished to show that rates were lower beforo the interstate law went into offect than they are now and introduced Lowery ns the witness by whom he expected to prove nis charges, but Mr. Lowery's tes- {.mmny was to the effect that they were not lower."” On Its Lnst Legs. > “The somewhat famous ‘Gentlemen’s asso- ciation’ is slowly but surcly dying,” said & prominent railroad official, I notice,” he continued, “‘that the western prosidents have just been holding a meeting 1n_Chicago and trying to devise some scheme for reorgani- zation, but their efforts wero not productive of anything like satisfactory results.

It was, however, decided that the Union Baci- fic, Northwestern and Wisconsin Central, ai- though no longer members, would, under their original agreement, be compelled to continue the payment of their portions of Chairman Walker's salary until his contract, which runs three yoars, expires,’ Another Complication. Another complication, and -one that prom- ises more trouble, has arisen among the Mis- souri river roads. Several days ago the Santa e gave notice that it wouln hereaf- ter decline to prorate with its connections cast of the Missouri river on through grain rates from the west, Tho Rock Island has now given a similar natice and also propose similar action on cattle. This means that these two roads as well as tho Missouri Pacific will make their own through ship- ments, thus compelling the Alton, Mil- waukee and other lines having no_system west of the Missouri river to. depend exclu- sively for their business upon western roads having no extension of thoir own east. —— Will Straighten the Short Line. Among other new improvements to be made this year by the Union Paciffic com- pany 18 a straightening out of some of the crooks in the Oregon Short Line. About eighty-five miles of that road has more the semblance of a worm fence than anything else 1t can be compared with.

Oxan, Neb., March 10.—To the Editor of Tur Bee: Inthe New York daispatch about the relations of the Countess Waldersee to Emperor William IL, contained in the last issue of your paper, I find an wsufficient statement, the correction of which wili per- haps be of interest to your readers. In the artiole 1t is said that the Countess Waldersee, nee Lee, from New York was first married to an Austrian nobleman. This i1s erroncous, s the countess was first married to o less o personuge tha the Prince Froderick Emil Augustof Scbleswig-Holstein Landerburg, Augustenburg, the uncle of the Duke Frederick Christian August of Schieswig Holstein, who was also the father of the reigning Empress Victoria Augusta of Ger- many Miss Leo, whose full name was Maria Esther, is now a woman of ity years of uge, THE OMAHA DAILY BEL: FRIDAY, and married the bringe in 1504 undor the nume of Countess NOor, as the prince also had tho titlo prince of Noer. The prince died w July, widow married Couat Waldersoo, now chisf of the ~geheral staft of tho German army and whowas expected by many people to become tho sucowssor of Bismarck. The influence that Count Walderses com mands in the court at''Borlin is on the ladies aide, as his wife as aigrand aunt of the young emperor is on, very familiar tern with her grand neice, especially through her devotion and affection for religion. Your readers will remember, porhaps— and Mr. Kosewater will certainly remem bor —tfat a few yoars ago quite a scandal was stireed up in Berlin because the Crown Prince Williain and “rswife had attended a reception at the-houseof Count Walderseo and nis American cotintess, of the so-called “interior mission”’ under the leadership of Pastor Stoeker, the anti-Simetic agitator. That incident gives an iden of the kind of it fluence the Waldersees aro exerting on the emperor, to say nothing of the great military talont of the count, which cannot be denied. Many things of interest concerning tho Bismarck-Waldersée incident might bo writ- ten; about the German omoress, her friend- ship for the Countess Waldersos and other bourgeois relatives of New York origin. At the present [ content myself by directing your attention to this matter, which, for & baper read by so many Germans, should be of especial interest. 00 BROCHYCGEL.

Clothier and Iurnisher: There will be a demand for the swell white flannel, roomsome fitting, well secamed and white bone beb utoned reefing jackets, a few of which were seen last season ‘‘off shore and ’board ship.”” But this will be about the extent of the double breasted continuance 'in men’s clothing. Kor business suits in mixed goods the single breasted, round cornered sack coat will be the popular short coat. The to p coats of spring will be made of both light and @ark material. The double whipcords will be utilized to a considerable proportion of what is worn in the former, and the garment when correctly made will resemble the regu- lation Covert coat, save thativ islonger. It seems rather an inconsistent coin- cidence that while the top coats are be- ing made box-like and loose, the under couts are cut closer to the figure than last season. In the semi-dress frock coats black camel’s hair is a fabric much fancied. A recent example of a modery cut-away cont was seen to be four buttoned. Three of these are made use of and the fourth 1s for an effect of long waisted- ness. The skivts are longer and fuller than last season and do not cut away so sharply, but rather continue flowing down almost on a straight line until the corners are rounded away. The finish of this garment was some- what unique. The lapels were some- what rounded and the fit was snug, In- stead of stitched seams or binding a narrow cording of silk was the “'topping off” feature. All around the edges of the coat ran this cording and -the pocket flaps and cuffs were also bor- dered in this novel manner. A of the tan whipeord trousers with the wide welt seam down the side goes well with such a coat. Of trousers in general not much may be said beyond the fact that the designs have a rich, sober and durable aspect. There i3 but an unsettled fecling for the time-honored plaids ard strives that ave a shock to senfitive natures. There will be entire suits made from the striped and checked bracings upon a background of white flannel. Some of the two-color stripe designs, wherein the stripes vary in width, are certain to ave an excollent run. Special designs for trouserings of outing fabrics ure one color, and unob- trusive stripes and a few extreme nov- elties in darker effects in imitation of cassimeres. A certain maker of these goods has conceived the iden of having a special one-third-inch decoration stripe woven onto the edge of the fabric with a view of having the athletic and outing clubs that might desire to adopt a uniform suiting for summer, to select and re- serve to themselves any special design of side stripe by which they might bo designated. The “Joke’” of a Medical Student. ™ Passing along Iuce street bétwecn nth and Sixth streets, t evening a young man had his attention arrested by a little white object on the base of a telegraph pole, savs the Cincinnati En quirver, Stopping out of curiosity, he walked up to the pole in ovder to in- spect the thing that had struck his eye and found to his horror that it was a human ear and that {t was nailed to the wood. The organ seemed to have been severed but a short time and wasthat of a fuli-grown person, judging from the size. Half sickened ‘from the ghastly thing, he soughta policeman to have it removed, and found Ofticers Farrell and Bluett of the central'station squad. [n the meantime a crdvd had gathered about the spot 50 that when the officers arrived the street was almost blocked. Making an examination, the ofticers found that the ear was held in place by three tacks that had been driv through the flesh. Casting aside the repugnance of handling the bitof dead flesh the officers detached it from the vole, leaving the tacks embedded in it, and wrapping it up ina paper went to police headquarters. Here Dr. Minor, the police commissioner, saw it and de- clared that it had been detatched from the head of the cadaver to which it be longed by a skilled hand, probably that of a medical student with a love for those hideous and usinine jokes for which the profession is noted. Upon the order of Lieutenant Rakel the severed organ was taken to the morgue. MARCH 1890 21, THE UNION PACIFiC'S CREED It Throws Another Firebrand Into the Western Raiivoad Situation. EAST AND WEST BOUND RATES A Meeting of the Trans-Missouri As- sociation Called for Monday to Consider the Passenger Situation. A Desire for the Earth. On1eaco, March 20.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee. |—Tho Union Pacific has cast an additional firebrand into the white hoat of the wostorn raliroad situation. With all trafic arrangements between connecting lines the initial lines mako tho through rate, tho proportions being divided on an agroed percoutage. Consequontly, with the Union Pacitic and its connections the Union Pacific made all the cast-bound rates and its eastern connections this sido of the Missouri river made all the west-bound rates. But the Union Pacific found 1t was geiting hurt by accopting rates based on tho reduced rates now in effect cast of tho Missourl, As already noted. the Union Pacific gave notico to all its connections that it would not be satisficd with its old divisions and demanded a higher percentage of the reduced through rato 80 a8 to preserve its qross receipts at the old figure. As was very natural, the connecting lines objected to changing the divisions and a meeting was called for today to discuss the situation. Representatives of all the Chicago-Missour: river lines and sov- eral of the _‘Traus-Mussouri lnes were present. The position of the Union ~ Pacific ~ was plainly stated. 1t did not feel itself called upon to lose money over a fight with outsiders, nor did it want the reduced rates to get a_foothold in the Trans-Missouri territory. It wanted the percentages of divisions of rates so re- changed as to mal:e 1ts earnings the same on the samo classes of freight as they were bo- foro the 80 per cent reduction was made in rates between Chicugo and the Missouri river. The Chicago lines were by 1o means choice in thew selection of lan- guage in answer to this proposi- tion. If the shoe were on the other foot and the reduction in Trans- Missouri territory, it was claimed the Union Pacific would demand that the divisions re- main the same. Even the Northwestern voted against the proposition when 1t finally came to a vote. ‘I'he whole subject was then referred to the April meetings of the Wost- ern Freight and Trans-Missouri associations. The action of the Northwestern in voting against tne proposition of the Union Pacific was @ surprise to those present and was taken as _an evidence that tho celebrated Union Pacific- Northwestern trafiic agreoment was not as formiaable or ironclad a document as it was 8aid to bo. The vote was almost unique in that all tho Chicago lines stuck togethor. The members expressed themseives after the meeting as being unulterably opposed to domg what they knew the Union Pacific would not do 'in their place. They also claimed tneir right under their agreoment to quote any possible wost-bound through rate and conceded a like right to the Union Pa- cific on the quotation of east-bound rates. Trans-Missourt Meetinz Oalied. Cn1cAco, March 20,—|Special Telegram to Tug Bee. [--Chairman Finley has called a meeting of the Trans-Missouri association for next Monday Yo consider the passenger rate situation. The meeting will work in’ harmony awith that already called of tho lines formerly in the Western Siates Pas- senger association in an attempt Lo raiso the present reduced basis. There has not been a continuous four weeks in years which has yielded the Chicago west-bound lines 8o little revenue from songer traffic as the lust four. 1t was learned this afternoon that one of the strongest lines to the Missouri river has been paying as high a commission a8 $4.50 on a5 ticket. During the four weeks tte highest commission oo the 85 ticket has been $2 and often has gone as high as $4+ It should be remembered, too, that this & ticket was $12.50 hofore the reduction. Everything in the shape of o rate is being manipulated. For the first time in years the Alton has abandoned its policy of quoting openly any secret rates thoy find their competitors making. Rates reduced to a non-paying basis are manipulated as freoly as others. Vice President McMullin of the Alton expressed it: ‘“I'here is no use in re- ducing rates. If we reduce them to nothing some of our competitors would manipulate them by throwing in a tract or something. I am beginning to believe it is as good a plan as any to keep up the rates and not try to stop the manipulators.” SOUTH OMAHA NEWS, Are You Registered ?

CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL, His Public Ca r Before He Went on the Benc Destined to become perhaps the greatest judge in the annals of the law, Marshall was, when appointed, one of the most conspicuous figures of his time. In these days his fame as a jurist is apt to obscure his cavlier public ca- veer, & caveer which had much to do with fitting him for the high po he afierwards filled. He wuas an oflicer of the revolution from 1775 till 1781, with but two short intermissions, dur- ing which he studied law. Admitted to the bar of Virginia in 1781, he was soon its leader. In the Virginia con- vention in 1778, and in the state legis- lature, his words were the ones most attentively listenod to. Awkward and ungainly, with an unsympathetic voice, he possessed an extraordinary power over his hearers, because he had, said William Wirt, ‘“one original and almost supernatural fac ulty—the faculty of developing a sub- ject by asingle giance of his mind and detecting at once the very point on which every controversy depends.” Seeing the necessity of a strong central government, he was the ablest advocate of the ratifigation of the constitution in Virginin. His convincing speech in support of the “Joy treaty” brought him prominently before the country. As envoy to I'rance he so conductéd himself that upon his return he was re- ceived on ull sides with th 08t mani- fest enthusiasm and publicly enter tained by congress. As a member of congress und as secretary of state he in no way diminished his fame. But he is best kuown as the great chief ju *the expounder of tha constitution For nearly thirty-five years he sided over the supreme "court. were critical years, The national gov- ernment was still a new thing; it wus an experimont, The people were anx- ious aud distrustful. T'he constitution had many flerce opponents. Tho pow- ors of the government were unknown aad feared. Questions of tremendous import must of necessity come before the federal judiciary. When Marshall became chief justice constitutionnl law wis o branch of judicuture akmost un- known: it had to be created, for there were no precedents. At suchatime the appointment of Marshull was o good fortune to the country; and yet it was not altogethor forty for, ns his able contemporary, William Fiuckney, said **He was born to be the chief fn-hw of any country in which he ived,” ESTABLISHED IN (878 BY THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
