\ THE OMAHA DALy BEE. TWENTIETH YEAR. THE UNION PACIFIC 1S GOULD'S. The Last of a Series of Deals Which Will Result in a Great Gonsolidation. WALL STREET MANIFESTS 1TS APPROVAL. The Interstate Commission Arraigns the Panhandle and Alton for Manipulation of Coke Rates —Railway News. Cuicaao, Nov. 13, to Tur Bre.|-The Raily Press Bureau says: The tirst piece of news in Chicago on the recent stock deals was learned today in the receipt of a telegram by a prominent rail- road officlal here from Jay Gould. It simply said he had ried his point with the Union Pacific. This being interpreted by the ofl- cial, means that Gould has controiling in- terest in the Union I ¢ and that it is the last of a series of deals which, will result in the actual or practical consolidation of the Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Alton. T ter could only be controlled by buying the entite holdings of the 180 stockholders, but their relation is al- most a family one and as Vice President Me- Mullen, one of the acknowledged leaders in railroading, has been in New York for six months, hie could easily have arvanged a deal by corrcspondence, There is 1o question of the understanding between the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific, it being consumnmated two months ago, with the Atchison third party, by the pooling of transcontinental freight. ” The Union Pacific would not join the pool at. the time, and its purchase by Jay Gould and friends is result. There is no possible demoralizi factor in a transcontinental pool on bus to California und the south, pecial Telegam The Alton and Cnicaco; Nov. Tue Bre,]— y com- mittee is after more railroad offenders, It is now pushing the charges of manipulation on coke rates against the Panhandle and Alton. It will be remembered that last July the Central trafic association inspection bureau found the Panhaudle guilty of the following: The rate on coke from the Connellsville region to Joliot via Chicago W per ton, the proportion from Chicagoto Joliet being 40 cent: ‘oke was consigned via the Pau- handle from Connellsville to the Illinois steel comp: at Joliet, but was diverted to the mills in Chicago. All such diverted coke took the proportion of the throughrate, §2.35, instead of the regular local rate. This differ- ence in rates was not very great, but tne large tonnage made it amotint to about $,000, as reported by the inspection bureau, All such charges were illegal, however, as the fuel local rate should have been ¢l The penalty under the amended interstate commerce actis a fine of $5,000 and two year: in the penitentiary to every pe at the manipulation. It was the time of the discovery of the manipulation of rates that the Panhandle would be white- washed and the joint committee fulfilled the provhesy within o week. General Freight Agent Stewart of the Permsylvania wrote on open letter, however, acknowledging the guilt of the Panhandle ena claimiug the rates Were made under a misapprehension, the oke being diverted while en rout The luterstate coramerce commission has retained George Ingham, one of Chicago's brightest lawyers, to prosecute the It camo up before the United . Jury toduy, General Manager Chappell of t ‘Alton and Chairman Midgely of the sou western division of the Western Frei association being witnesses, The testimony was to the effect that the traftic in question had been consigned to Joliet via the Alton, ‘but that upon being diverted the Alton only received its switching charge of $2a car. The Alton has sent a personal representative to the Panhandle, notifying them of the diversion of the trafiic, and it must have been at the best pure carelessness on the part of the Panhandle in not charging the local rate, Attorney Ingham tried hard to implicato the Alton and the Tilinois steel company ii the deal, but with what ult is not Known, as the grand jury hasnot yet re- ported. . United States District Attorney Milchrist ‘would say nothing, except that the case had been presented to the grand jury. It is grl(-lk‘ully certain that an indictment has een found, however, as Mr. Milchrist said the case would not be consigned again until x,?.o indictments on all the cases were brought b, Neither Mr. Chappell nor Mr. Midgley ‘will talk until the grand jusy reports, Western Freight Association.

GOULD AND THE U. P, The New York Times Sticks to Its Original Story. New Yonk, Nov. 13.-—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee)—The Times says: Next to the abounding rumors and the cries concerning Villard properties in Wall strect yesterday, interest centered in Union Pacific affairs. Much attention was attracted by the Times' exclusive announcement that Mr. Jay Gould, according to his own statement, had secured coutrol of the property, Mr. Gould himself issued a bulletin to the street declaving that he had not been interviewed by the Times, thus intending to suggest that the Times® quotation of this statement was untrue, Mr. Gould said he was in control. He said that he might himself assume the residency of the property as Mr, Charles rancis Adams’ successor, Mr. Adims was & business failure, he declared, and Le added that under the Gould-Rockefeller control, Union Pacific would become profitable and cease to be a disturber of western railway pace, Early yesterday Russell Sage came out in an interview for Wall street, declaring that Mr. Gould did have control of the Union Pa- cific property and that it was a good thing for the property to have such a controller. Bome of the other Gould licutenants ana people iu the Gould contidence came out with ilar statement, They hal kunown of suld's plans ali along, they said. Evi- dently they were a little more communica- tive than Mr. Gould thought was quite wise, and in his carefully prepared statement for the strect he set them a very excellent exam- ple of noy kiowing too much about the things that are true, What Wall street believes as to the new relationsip of the Union Pacific to other western rallway proverties was amoly shown fn the stock market's course.

Copyright 189 by James Gordon Bennett.\ Crry o¥ ATEMALA, Nov. 18, —[New York Herala Cablo-—-Special to Tnr Bee|—The situation of uffaivs in Central America today is more reassuring than at avy time since the revolution began in Honduras, and the chances of a general war are greatly lessened if President Barillas holds his promise. I hada long talk todsy with a prominent employe of the foreign department, who, however, did not want his name to bo mentioned, fearing that it would place him in an awkward position with Barillas, He said that at yes- terday’s conference between General Ignacio Allatorre, the Mexican minister, and Baril- las, Allatorre asked him what was his inten- tion in sending 1,000 fully equipped troops towards the frontier of Honduras. Were they sent to aid Bogran and break down all precedent of international law, or was it the idea solely to strengthen his army of inspec- tion of the Honduras frontier! Barillas re- plied that the troops were sent to the frontier to meet any emergency that might arise. I have had no intention,” he continued, ‘“of sending them to aid Bogran, They will re- main in Guatemala if Salvador remains en- tirely neutral. If, however, Salvador in- vades Honduras with an army, I shall also order my forces in to stop its march. Under existing circumstances I have ouly acted for the protection of my country {rom armed mobs from Houduras, and to prevent revolutionary iuvaders from that republic from entering Guatemala,” President Barillas has received this dis- patch, dated Tamara, Honduras, Novem- ber 12: To President Barillas of Guatemala—Hav e collected a sufticient army ito recapture Tegucigalpa and put Sanchez to flight.

It contained an announcement that American cattle were to be excluded on account of pleuro-pueumonia in New York, Thereis no ground for the announcement. It was based on information received here over two months ago, Captain Head of the veterinary department of the British agricultural de- partment, of whnich the captain is the chief, said today to the Herald correspondent: “No such action is contemplated. The announce- ment rests on a dispatch sent by Consul Gen- eral Bowser of New York, September 30, that two cases of pleuro-pneumonia had been dis- covered in New Jersey, where none had been heard of for years, This government is thoroughly informed through its consuls of the condition of cattle and all other markets all the world over, but there is no intention of shutting out American cattle. unless pleuro-pueumonia becomes general in the United States, There is also no intention of removing the present restrictions until it is certain no pleuro-pneumonia exists in the United States,” e Jealous of the Cow.

Cirrerco, Nov. 18.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee. “or the space of two or three minutes there was a wild scene of terror and panic in Judge Gresham's court room this morning. First came a loud, though mufiled, sound and then the west wall cracked from the ceiling to the ground. The court had not opened and there were but few people y ent, but these grew so alarmed that it took all the persuasion at the command of Clerk of the Court Kemp to induce them to remain in the building. At first Mr, Kemp thought, as aid the others in the room, that the noise or report was brought about from a manhole ex- plosion from sewer gas in the street, but glancing apprehensively round the room, for the shock was local, ho soon discovered his or and set to work to find out how much damage had been done and what might be expected. - He summoned Mr. Coghlan, who keeps tab on the cracks in the government building, and that gentleman assured the frightened clerk that there was no immediate danger, - Architect Bell was busy this atternoon making an inspection of the cause which led to the cking of the wall. In Mr Bell’ opinion, the crack was caused by iron work of some kind imbedded in the wall and not to be seen outwardly loosening or giving away. 1t has also been ascertained by measurement that the old crack has separatedone-eighthof an inch in the northeast corner of the bui ing, thereby proving that the loud report in the court room resulted in the additional sep- aration of the ola crack, Mr. Bell savs, so far as he has proceeded in this inve: today, he does not apprehend any cause for immediate alarm, e T STUDENTS VS MALITIA.

To this city have come the democrats of the country at large to pay honor tothe “Old Roman, Allen G. Thurman, on the occasion of his enth birthday, All day Mr. ent of attentions which few American Statesmen have en- joyed after their acknowledged retirement from the arena of politics, and to every caller, high or low, he has extended, with kindly smiles, the genial hand of good fellow- ship, The magnificencg of the celebration to- day and the banquet togight is a token of the esteem in which Judgé Thurman is held by the democrats of Ohi® and the country at large, Throughout the entive day every incoming trains brought democrats of promi- nence from all seetions f the United States until night, the scene c8u be likened to no gathering more than & mational convention.

The remark was often heard from men while shaking bands with Mr. Cleve- laud, **You will be” our next president,” At the conclusion of the reeeption Mr. Cleveland drove to Jutge Thurman's residence and con- gratulated him on his se seventh anni- versury, nssuring the judge that the demo- cracy of the nation was rejoiced at his con- tinued vigor and hoped he might be spured for many years of usefulness. Judge Thur- man replied that mno years or fu- ture acts of his uld possibly increase the warmth of the congratulations he nad received today from all parts of the United States. Mr. Cleveland then returned to Governor Campbell's mansion, where he and a few friends were entertained at luncheon The banquet hall tonight was deco a most beautiful manner. The celeb: was under the auspices of the Thurman club, which had charge of all the arrangements. Noticeable among the dgcorations were large portraits of Cleveland asd Thurman. Sel dom have so many distinguished men of any party assembled at 012 tige in any place ex- cepton the occasion of a Hational convention, Among them were senators and ex-senators, congressuen, ex-congie ysmen and con gress men-elect, governors, ex-governors and gov ernors-elect, besides the gentlemen who have distinguished themselves in various channels of public and private life.

When Mr. Outhwaite delivered a brief eulogy of Juage Thurman the guests arose to their feet againand a scene of wild enthusiasm was one that would have swelled with pride the heart of anyhuman being, It was five minutes before the ovation sub- sided sufiiciently to enable Judge Thurman to respond : Judge Thurman responded to the toast, “Qur Guests,” He suld in the beginning that he was not here tonight to make an elaborate speech. He was here to express his neartfelt appreciation of the honor they have so kindly seen fit to do him; to thank, with his whole soul, his neighbors, fellow citizens of Olio und the distinguished gentle- men from other states for their mark of friendship and estcem, “I am here,” said he, “‘at the age of severty-seven to repeat my testimony so often given, of my confidence in the benelicent effects of free institutions and my firm belief of their&ummu on this con- tinent and their gradudl but certain exten- sion over other and larger portions of the globe.

In this once and in the atmosphero of these reflections we | should not miss the lesson they commend to as, of fail to renew our appreciation of the value of this citizenship and revive our ap- preciation of the sentiments and conditions n which it has risen and grown. First of all we should be profoundly grateful that the clements which make un the staength and vigor of American citizenship are so natur- ally related to our situation and ave so sim- plé. Here the plain people of land are rulers. Their investment with power is ounly accom- P nied with the condition that they should ove their country : that they should jealously guard and protect its iuterests and fair fame and that all the intelligence with which they | are endowed should be devoted to an unde standing of its needs and the promotion of its welfare. 1t should never be forgotten that theinfluence,which more than all other *hings | has made our people the safe depositarics of the wovernmental power, and which has furnished the purest guarantecof the strength and perpetuity of the republic, has its source in the American home, Here our patriotism is borne and emtwines itself with the growth of filial love and here our children arc taught the story of our freedom and independence. But above atl, here in the bracing and whole some atmosphiere of uncomplaining fragality and economy, the mental and movalattributes of our people has been firmly kunit and in- vigorated. Never could it be said of any country so truly as of ours that the perma- nency of its institutions depends upon its homes. 1 have spoken of frugality and econ- omy as important factors in American life, I find no fault with the accumulation of wealth, and am glad to see energy and enterprise re- ceive tfielr fair reward. But I believe our government in its national integ- rity s exactly suited to u fru- gal and economical people, and I believe it is safest in the hands of those who have been made strong and self-reliant in thelr citizenship by self-denial and by sur- roundings of an enforced economy, “When, therefore, men in high pl of trust, charged with the responsibi of making and_executing our luws, not only condenin but flippantly deride cheapness and econor within the homes of onr people, and when the expenditures of the government are reck less and wasteful, we be sure some- thing 1s wrong with us and that a condition exists which calls for a vigorous and resent- ful defense of Americanism by every man worthy to be called an American citizen, “Upon the question of cheapness and econ- omy, whether it relates to individuals or to the operations of the government, the demo- gtic party, true to its creed, will unalter- y ed to our piain and fr people. Thus when the question is whether our people shall have the n saries of life at u chea rate we re not ashumed to confess oursclves in full sympathy with demand for cheaper coats and we not disturbed by the hint that this seems neces- sarily toinvolve a cheaper man or woman under the coats. When the promoter of a party measure invades every home in the land with higher prices declares that “‘cheap and nasty o together and this whole system of cheap things is a badge of poverty, for cheap mer- chandise means cheap men and cheap men mean & cheap country,” we indignantly repu- diate such an interpretation of Awerican sen- timent. And when another one, high in party coun- cils, who has become notorious as the advo- cate of a contrivance to perpetuate partisan supremacy by outrageous interference with the suffrage, announces that the ‘‘ery for cheapuess un-American,” we scornfully veply that his speech does not indicate the slightest conception of Americanism. Twill not refer to other utterances of like import from similar sources, I content my- self with recalling the_most prominent and sigmficant. The wonder is that these things were addressed by Americans to Americans, What was the occasion of these condemna- tions of cheapness and what had honest American men and women done, or what were they likely to do that they should be threatenea w the epithets” ‘‘cheap,” “nasty” and “un-American 1 Tt is hard to speak patiently as we answer these questions. Step by stép a vast num- ber of our people had veen led on, following blindly in the path of party. They had been filled “with hate and sectional prejudice; they had been cajoled with misrepresenta- tions and faise promises; they had been cor- rupted with money and by appeals to their selfishness, All these things led up to their final betrayal to satisfy the demands of those who had supplied the fund for their corrup- tion. This betrayal was palpable; and it was im- possible to deny or conceal the fact that the retended relief tendered to the people in ulfiliment of a promise to lighten the bur- dens of their life, made by the party en- trusted with the government, was but u scheme to pay the debts incurred by the pur- chase of party success, while it farther in- creased the impoverisbment of the masses, The leaders of the party, which was caught inthe act of robbery and Which was arraigned by the people for a violation of its trust, wero forced by their sad predicament toa des- perate expedient, To attempt to reverse the current of true Am nism and _discredit the most honorable sentiments belonging to American manhood, were the disgraceful tasks of those who insulted our people by the announcement of the doctrine thatto dé- sire cneapness was to love nastiness, and to practice economy and frugality was un- American. Thus we do plainly ses that when the path pointed out by patriotism and American citi- nshipis forsaken by a party in power, for Sohembs of selfishness and for unscrupulous conspiracies for partisan success, its course inevitably leads to unjust favoritism, neglect of the interestsof the masses, entire per- version of the mission of republican institu- tions, and, in some form, tothe most impu- dent and outrageous iusult to true American seatiment. Brt this is a time when faith in our coun- trymen should be fully re-established, The noise of a recent political revolution is still heard throughout the land; the peoplo have just demonstrated that there is a point beyond which they cannot be led by blind partisanship, and that they are quite compe- tent to examine and correctly aecide political questions concerning their rights and their welfare, They have unmerciful'v resented every attack upou true American manhood, and have taught party leaders that, though slow to anger, they take terrible revenges when betrayed. They permit us to forgive our guest for all the cheap coats he has ever worn, for they have declared them to be in fashion, They have alsodecreed that the Decalogue has a place in our politiss, for they have enforced the command “Thou shalt not steal,” and have rendered an emphatic verdict agaiust those who have borne false witness, ‘W ho can now doubt our countrymen’s ap- preciation of that trait, so well illustrated T the chaiacter of Allen G.

Jov. 18.—The Times this merning in connection with the Stanley-Barttelot matter publishes tho full text of Assad Far- rans affidavit, He describes how Barttelot, after Stanley left Yambuia, finding food scarce employed armed Soudanese to attack the neighboring villages, but found them d serted. He then hud recourse to the captur- ing of native women and demanding food for their vansom. Bonney did the same, Assad relates how Barttelot d; ordered men to be given from twenty-five to one hundred lashes for various offenses. He speaks of numerous cases of stealing of food, the thieves being punished witha hundred or more lashes until their flesh was torn, Inone case Barttelot ordered punisiment stopped, but when the victim recovered somewhat he was given 150 more lashes and then compelled to walle ten hours in the sun daily, heavily chained. This continued for two months, when the victim's sores becaine maggety. Barttelot then relieved him for a week and Dr., Bonney gave him medicine, after which the punishment of marching in the sun was resumed. The man finally decamped, but was recaptuved and_shot, ad says the ofticers had plenty of food, but_the nien in the camp were s ng and dying daily. Often, he s, we asked the mi to issue little old rotton. to make soup for invalids, but this was impossible. The camp became a misera- ble sight, yet none of the officers appeared to care, Assad refers particularly to Ward and Troup, saying they —scemed content with haviug everything they wanted were disinclined to march, Re- ing to the Jameson incident Assad “Jameson expressed to Tippo b a curiosity to witness cannibalism. Tinpo told Jameson he had better purchase a slave. Jameson then paid six handkerchicfs for & ten-year-old girl. The girl was then taken to the cannibals, the chief teling them she was a present from the white man, who wanted to see her eaten, The girl was tied toatree, Then oneof the natives stabbed herin the bell She was soon dead. Then the natives eut her ups some took legs, arms and other portions to their huts, while others took the entrails to the rivor and washed them, Jameson in the meantime making rough sketches of the horrible scene, — Then he wentto his camp where he finished the sketches In water colors. Assad then di cribes theofMeers going to Stanley falls at the end of May. He tells of Jameson's anger at the auarrel of Barttelot with Selin Ma- homed and of the anxiety of both to seek or discover whether Stanley was dead or in prison as rumored, Barttelot be- lieving if he could relieve Stanley from im- prisonment. he would be made a colonel. Assad further says Jameson was proud of his cannibal sketches and showed them to all the officers. Bonney also makes a further statement this morning to the effect that the cannibal incident was _the cause of the death of both Jameson and Barttelot. Assad told the 1go stato authorities and they wero ex- cited over the incident and sent his affidavit to Europe. Barttelot learning this become terribly excited for fear he would be blamed and Bonuey says he ascribes the violence which led to Barttelot's death to this cause, Bonney believes Barttelot wus becoming in- sane through privation and that the cannibal incident was the last straw and that he can hardly be held responsible for his actions theveafter. Jumeson also became uneasy and hurried to the coast to try to stop the report and Bonney believes his” worry brought on the fever that killed him. Bonney rather excuses Jameson on the ground of his being an enthusiastic natural- ist, and says he failea to realize the serious- ness of the act. Bonney relates the incident of Jameson securing the head of anegro who had been shot by an Arab. It was salted and sent to London, where it was stuffed, It was afterwards in the possession ot Mrs, According to the Cologne Gazette, peinfinth heard the Jameson story from Assad in person, and is convinced of its truth.
