S. Cameron of the Union Pacific arrived this noon inthe president’s private car from Den- ver. They left for Provethis evening to look up the mutter of tios and return tomor- 10w tomeet representatives of the proposed road between Seven Devils mining camp and Silver City, ldaho, 136 miles, and which will open one of the greatest timber belts in the country. Mr. Adams said to Tue Bee correspondent that he had made what seemed to him amplo provision lust spring for the roau's expected development, but that the development had inui A beyond all bounds and expectations President Hughitt ot the Northwestern had told_him that he (Hughitt) had expected his road’s business would increase 10 per cent this summer and fall, and it had increased, instead, 25 per cent, and tho Northwestern was hard put to it to handle its business, The same was true of the Union Pacific. One hundred and seventy engines had been or- dered and 1,000 new coal cars, in addition to the other equipment, but, owing to the dels of the manufacturers and a mavvelously in. creased trafic, the road had been strained be- vond its limits, His men were worried beyond endurance and all the departments on the ystemn were rushed to death. The recent dents were simply due to ill luck, for which Manager Resseguie was not respon- sibie. He was a faithful official who had done his best—had done more than could bo expected of him-—and he enjoyed the full con- fidence of his superiors. One million ties would be put in needed places at once; thero was now steel on hand and it wouid go down a5 son as possible, and all repairs would be pushed rapidly that the coal bockade might be removed. The Union Pacifle has doublo the amount of new equio- ments to put on now that it has bad in any other yearsince Adams has been president. Six weeks of good weather iow and the en tire system would be pat in fine shape, but if bad weather comes now the operations of the system wall be let right down to the safety notchand the public will b told tnat the road cannot stand working at an_unsafely ligh pressure, and they must for the time euthusium this year, but they will beon | befug ke ‘the best of It Last spring hand in November with about their usual | the freshels had washed uway thousands mujority.

VaNpALW, 111, Oct. 15, —Forty-soven years ago Charles Adams married a Miss Sarah Houston, sister of Superyisor M. F. Houston, and a prowinent farmer of Fayette county. Mr. and Mrs, Adams had lived together just one year. Oune evening Adams went out to milk the cows, but did not return to the house, and, strange as it may seem, from that day nothing was ever heard of him, Mr. Houston, Mrs. Adams' father, much and spent a great deal of mon. vain search for his missing son-in-la long after Mr. Adans' disappearance a son was born to Mrs. Adams, which was the seof her death, The child was cared for the Houstons and grew to manhood, and is mow vresiding on his farm two and [ balf miles west of Vandalia, During the forty-seven years' absence not the sligntest clew was had to Adams’ wherea- bouts, andhe was supposed to have long since died. About three weeks ago an el derly and well-dressed gentleman, apparent- l{ about seventy-five years old, stepped off the train and inquired if the Houstous still Ived here. On being informed that they did, the oll gentleman 1left word that he would return aud visit them in about three weeks, and boarded the train without re- ling his identity. vanger made good his promise and y returned to this city, Mr, Adams did not assign any reason for Leaving come forty- 3 ago, but stated that he was in- formed soon after the child was born that boththe mother and child had died, and knew no better until informed today by friends here. Some four or five years after the death of his wife Adams states he mar- ried aguin, and resided in Troy, N. Y, Four children were born to them, all of whom, to- | gother with their mother, have since died. The truant father seemed overjoyed to know he had a living son, and atonce procured a conveyance and startod for his home. - Severe & torm in New England, Bostox, Mass, Oct, 1 An unusually se- vere storm prevaled today throughout New nzlina and along the coast. 1n Fall River, Mass, the strects were flooded and trees blown down.

The chances arevery strong that Major McKinley will be elected; for such_efforts were surely never exceedéd in behalf of any man. The labor- ors, mechanics, manufacturers, merchants and favmers in the district_have organized and are greaf for his success. Messrs. MeKinley and Reed are given un- precedented ovations wherever they go. Nearly every republican in Washington ‘who can vote in Nebraska and who has not gone to his home will turn his face in that direction within the next three or four days. There will be about twenty-four Nebraskans from Washington who will enter the state this week for the purposeof exercising their franchises and helping tne republican ticket. The organization of the Iows peoplo here is quite a large one, considering the Pemoteness of that state, and its sons who are here in the governmental service are taking a lively in- terest in the campaign in theirstate, Exccu- tive Committeoman O. H. Heriug says that about thirty members will go or have already goue home to vote. DEMOCRATS FIND CAMPAIGN THUNDER SCARCE. Never did the democratic congressional committee have such a hard time to make hp issues as this campaign: It required a care- tul canvass of the entire democratic mem- bership of congress and the solicitation of suggestions from state committeemen in all paris of the country to makeeven the poor snowing that the leaflets and books issued represent. 'he burden of the arraignment of the re- publican gnrl by the democrat mmittee lies in public expenditures; and yet inthe pre- dicating of these charges the democratic party in Washington repudiates its cardinal prin- ciples enunciated in 1888, Then it will be recalled, the democrats charged the re- publicans with having hoarded a surplus “which threatenea the financial foundation ofthe people,)) Assoonas the present ud- ministration began to cx({n:nd the surplus in a judicious manner the democratic managers commenced to cry out against the expen- ditures, The democratic campaign docu- ments are amazing in this particular, for there is not a single charge made against’ re- publican expenditures but that was de- manded by the democratic campaign docu- ments of 186 or 1888, The republicsns simply anticipated and discounted the shib- bolet " of the democrats, and yet the latter, not to be foiled, turn about and denounces the republican party for doing what it had in recent campnigns been denounced for not dolng. In view of the great stimulus given manu- facturing interests by the adoption of the McKinley tariff bill the active workers in the deld of the democratic party—the men who have weight in the management of cam- puigns—advised the congressional committee notto atternpt a campaign against the new tariff law, as it would arraign the entire farming and laboring elements with the pre- dominant party-and give a large majority for the republicans in the Fifty-second congress. It wasnot till several conferences and a three-months' canvass were held for advis- ory purposes that the democratic congres- sioual committee finally concluded to make upits fssues, and then it was upon the fact that the republican party had come to the rescue of the bu i psts of the coun- v and made available to idle millionsin the treasary, Truly the democratic is this sea- son llll)lpm'ly without an issue. Complaint having been made by certain mugwumps that there are repulican federal oficeholders on the political forum, atreasury department clerk has made a computation of the number of speakers which have from the departuents gone out to work in the impend- \g campaign and compared it with the num- ron the stump four vears ago. He fiads that President Jleveland permitted just three and onchalf times more ofiicers to leave their posts of oMicial duty for political work than hasthisadministration, Atonetime du ing the campaign of 1550 almost every domo- crat in the departments who could make a speech was on the hustings, howling at the republicans for “having piled up in the treasury hundreds of millions of idle money, while the business interests of the country suffer,” and it has been discovered that four out of five of those oficers were above the civil service rank, and therefore did not have to get lo of absence, and therefore they drew their salaries the same as if they were atwork, Among thews were the assistants secretary in the treasury and iuterior depar ments, and the postmastcr geneval, his ass ants, several men in the department of tice, Pension Commissioner Black, his as- sistants, and a lot of other oficials drawing from #2000 up to #,000 a year, The real cost of this campaigning came ou, of the pockets of the people. Nota half-dozen of this army are now on the rostrum. Not a dozen 1 publicans from the departments of Washin, tou are on the stump now, and thosewho will speak take the time out of their regular annual leaves. “Ihe same is true of those who will simply go to their homes to vote, FINDING NEW MARKETS FOR OUR GOODS, As aresult of the Pan-American congress work the past summer a very v lot of men and women can be founasix_days inthe week atthe regalar bureau on K street, working for the introduction of American goods in South and Central American ports. This bu- reau has grown so enormously of late tuat it is to be removed to more spicious quarters, where the clevical force can be enlarged. It is answering every sort of question daily as to the productions in this country and push- g Amieriean interests across the seas to the sout, If anyone could look in upon this workshop and compass its aims and foresee the results of its lubors there would be no question about the practicability of reciproe- ity r would there be any doubt as to the determination of this administration to help our profucers find new markets for our sur- plus, without further assistance from con- gress. 1f nothing more was done and the present work wore to ceise today the repay or the Pan-American congress outlays would be scors of times greater than the outlay in money and labor MISCELLANEOUS, Some days ago there appeared in an Omaha Paper an article stating that under the old tariff law there was 1o duty imposed upon wire nails, Senator Manderson was stown this article, He replied that the statenent Wwas erronsous, that thers was a duty on wire nails of 4 cents. Under the McKinley bill the duty is reduced 2 and 214 cents per pound, according to size, Mrs, John A.

He Slaps Senator Paddock in His Min- neapolis Interview, Murxseavouts, Minn, Oct. 19.—|Special Telegram *0Tne Bee.l—Judge Thurston of Nebraska spoke here toa crowded house last night on the McKinley bill. In the afternoon Judge Thurston was asked to explain the motives which caused Senators Paddock of Nebraska, Plumbof Kausas, and Pettigrew of South Dakota, to vote against the Me- Kinley bill, 3 “Asyou are doubtless aware,” answered Judge Thurston, “eleven United States sena- tors, including the threo you have just men- tioned, gave it out that they would not vote for the bill unless binding twine was put upon the free list. Under tho old tariff the duty on binding twine was between 2 and 8 cents. The McKinley bill reduced the tariff to 710 of & cent, yet these senators proposed to fight the bill after it had been reported has b back from the conference commit- tee in case binding twine should not be placed on the free list. They hoped by this means to stave it off until the ensuing session of congress, 1f they had succeeded you can see what_ their position would have been ‘The old duty of 2and a fraction cents would have remained for an- other year or so instéad of the present one of 7-10 of a cent, That isthe position of the three senators who votal against the bill. So far as Senator Paddock is concerned, he probably had other reasons for opposing the bill, inasmuch as he objected to the clause placing sugar on the free list,” “Why so!"” “Presumibly because he is the proprietor of @ large beet sugar manufactory,” was the significant reply. * In reply to the question-as to the effect at the coming election of the farmers’ alliance party in his state, Judge Thurston said ho didn’t think the republican candidates would be defeated thereby. Naturally, the alliance party drew largely from republican ranksin @ state of the pronounced complex- ion of Nebraska. Im one congressional dis- trict the election would' undoubtedly be very close, but Jud; o'l‘huuwngs of the opinion that ther republican can 4 for cougress would be elocted.

Indeed, T have reason to believe that the whole north- west shures the same opinion regarding the president.” “Inthe event of hisname being placed in nomination at the nextnational couvention, do yon think Nebraska would support him ¢’ I do not.” Judge Thurston will return to Omaha in time to speak there on Monday evening. i gO Dt THE CLEAKRANCE RECORD, Financial Transactions of the Coun- try During the Last Week.
