Imay say, however, that Adams and Ames visited me yesterday, and the former expressed a desiro to be ro dieved from the office of president. IHe @uggested that he should resign and a meet- tuz of the stockholders upon his resignation alled. I presume, if it i€ troe has entrusted his resignation Amcs, this meeting will be held. is likely, also, that any _vacancies occurring in ' the management of the road will befllled at this meeting. Dillon has been mentioned as & successor to Adams. Dillon's interest would keep him here, where, ns president, he would only haveto look after the finances of the road.” To the question how the reported impend- g changes would affect the relations be- tween his wtcrests ana the Union Pacific, Gould replied: “Our retations, nnd the new make 1o It you know, are close now, arrangements would tend to hem closer.’” The Big New Yonk, Nov. 21 bine.

Come around again wnd I may tell you.” An Attack on Mileage Books. Ciicaco, Nov. 21.—|Special Telegram to e Bee.]—-Chairman Finley of the West- e Passenger association, has boldly tackled the greatest source of trouble in the passenger business, viz.—mileage books, Today he peat out a notice which contained the follow- fng: “The apparently indiscriminate use of mileage books by parties other tnan those named thereon has grown to such proportions that I believe the matter should have con- sideration on the part of the association, I have therefore docketed it for the next mect- ng on December 2.7 Said u general passenger agent in regard to the above: ‘“Mileage books, both commercial and editorial, are a source of everlasting tor- ment to railroad It is within_bounds to suy that 50 per centof them fall into tne hands of illegal holders, Almost any local rate can be cut by them. For instance, the rute between St. Paul and Chicago is B11.50. Tho short line distance is 402 miles, ©00f courso it costs the holder of. a mileage book but #5.04. The consequence is that the xate is scalped right aloug to $3. The same state of affairs is everywhere prevalent. Practically, the mleage books make the vate. I Chawman Finley can_adjust this trouble o will certainly beé our Moses. The edi aileage book is worse than the commer Country editors sell them and it is within bounds to say that Chicago scalpers now }:»llld a million miles of this kind of transpor- on."” Omaha.

These were turned over to the Western Passenger association for re- demption by the Atchison, but that company 18 not inclined to redeem them. cors, cimm they had notified the conductors to take them up and cancel them when pre- seated, ‘This, they claim, nullified their re- sponsibility, The Rock Island, however, in- sists that it does not, und trouble is likely to ensue, Gould and the Atchiss NEw Youk, Nov. 2L.—Gould was asked this morning in refercnce to the report that hie had secured control of .the Atchison.

Adoption of a Constitution by the Board of Lady Managers. Ciicaco, Nov. 91,—The board of lady managers of the world’s fair today adopted a | constitution similar to that of the national | commission. Miss Sarah Hallowell of Chi- cago was recommended to the national com- | mission for appointment to the position of director of the department of fine arts, Mrs, Lucas of Pennsylvania introduced a resolu tion asking the closing of the world's falr on the Sabbath day so far as it was affected by | barter and exchange. After considerable de- bate this went over, At the meeting of the national commission the report of the committee on foreign af- | faivs was adopted with a resolution author- izing the committee to expend $20,000 in sending ogents abroad as provided in the act of congress, no expenditure to be made until the president shall have issued a proclamation to the nations. At the after. noon session the special committee on the ve- iations of the commission and local bourd and the powers and duties of the director general made its report, It says that all tho powers of the commission should be exer- cised in a large measure through the director general. ‘The report reproduces seetion 6 of the national act, defining the powers of the commission to have intercours with all exhibitors, and says it is the opinion of the committee that ifs powers are in no way abridged by reason of the fact portioa of the funds are to be the instrumentality of the locs poration. It is the opinion of the committeo that this fund, when raised, is & public fund dedicated by the act of congress and with the consent of the Illinois corporation to a specific purpose and to be controlled and ex- pended in the execution of that purpose by encies named by said act of congres: Regarding the di or geueral the report s that under the existing organization of the commission he is the ofiicer through whom space is to be allotted to exhibitors, classification determined upon and executed and through whom the coinmission is gener- ally to have charge of intercourso with all exhibitors and representatives of foreign nations. Another paragraph concedes that ihe rules and regulations of the exposition ree to originate with the local board, but adds that they are to be approved by the national commission and undar the supervision of its director general. The re- Pport also recommends a conference with the local board. It was adopted. The National Live Stock association com- mittee today adopted the action of the world’s fair commission in deciding that no cash prizes shall be offered for live stock. 1t was decided that $200,000 should be appropriated for premiums, cither by the commission or the local board, to be divided as follow: Horses, 41 per cent ; swine, 15; sheep, 12; poultry, 7. A communication was received from the national commission informing the committee that the money would have to come from the local directory or congress. There was another exciting debate before adjournment over the report of the commit- tee on finance. Commissioner Waller spoke eneral impression among the people hat most of the salaries fixed by the commission were outrageously large. White of New Mexico presented a resolution calling for the cutting in two of all salaries except director general. Mr. Martindale wanted to cut all except director gencral to $6,000 a rear, After a hot debate and any number of mendments the matter was referred to the committee oo judiciavy and finance. WORLD'S FAIR LIVE STOCK. Cash Prizes or No Show, the National Association Says. Caicago, Nov. 11.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee)—The National Live Stock asso- ciation opened its meeting today with a vol- ley of objections and disapproval to theaction of the world's fair conunission in deciding that no cash prizes shall be offercd. Tn the discusion the president said: *We will ask for cash prizes, and if we don't get them we can stay at home with our stock, Let's ask for $10,000, and if we don't get it, we don't show.” Mr. Pickrell of Illinois said; have $200,000. Why, St. Louis gives $50,000 at its little state fair. I move we demand $200,000.” The motion was carried. “Now,” asks the chairman, *‘what are you going to do if you don’t get, it “Tam like the little boy after the wood- chuck,” answered Mr. Pickrell. *We are going to get it.” “Idon't believe you'll get a cent,” the chairman retorted, ‘‘but if we don't the world’s fair people can getup their own show.” Then me a long wrangling as to the division of the percentage “of the money they haven't got.” The original notion was to give the horses 45 per cent of the preminms, cattle swine 15, sheep 10 and poultry 5. Mr. Berry was agood shep- herd and would not allow the wolves to walk away with his heep percentage.” Mr. Cass of Illinois thought 5 per cent for poul- try was ridiculously low. ‘“Why, gentle- mee,” he excitedly exelaimed, “there 1s no live stock interest 5o great to this country as poultry. Thegreater part of the smaller provisions throughout the west and south comes from the old woman going to market with her basket of eggs.”” Mr. Cass claims o have hens that lay 200 ogzs a year, and by a calealation consuming a few million figures tried to make the revenue from eggs sustain his claims. Mr. Todd of Obio sai ““The hogs and sheep should get agood percentaze of the premiums, for they commenced with the Llluucm of this country. They give us our omes—our nation, and I believe if we ignore the hogs and sheep we ignore what this world’s faiv was proposed for.” The following distribution was finally reached: Horses, 41 per cent; cattle, 35 per cent; swine, 15 per cent; sheep, 12 per cent, and poultry 7 per cent, Mr. Pickred introduced a long resolution to the effect that unless the commissioners rescinded their action offering no cash pre- miums that this committee withdraw and wish the commissioners godspeed in their own behalf. The committee thought the commissioners had better be handled gently on the start and the resolution was laid on the table. “We must The Wool Market. Bosrtoy, Nov. 21.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bk |--There has been a very dull market for wool of all kinds and the sales were only 000 pounds. Prices were fairly firm, but in some cases, as usual on a quiet market, there was some pressure to sell. Small sules of Ohio wool have been made at 32@33c for X and X and above, and at M@ise for XX and XX and above. For Michigan it is hard to get over ddc. Comb- ing and delaine fleeces have been in fair re- quest and small stock with sales of not comb- ing at 40@42c, of Ohio fine delaine at 37c, and of Michigan delaine at i5c. Territory wools have been slow at 60@02c for fine, HS@ 60¢ for fine medium and 50@ise for medium. In Texas, California and Oregon wools there has been s quiet trade at unchanged prices. Pulled wools have been n fair demand with sales of choice super at 40 of fair to .good super at 30@3Sc and of extra at 25@30c. Foreign wools have been quict but firm. an il Another Attack on Parnell Loxnoy, Nov. 21.—[Special Cablegram to Tue Bee.|—The Pall Mall Gazette today makes another attack upon Parnell. In the course of the article it says that some persons will be turned against the Irish cause, not so much by the divorce case itseif as by the side lights thrown upon Parnell's trust- worthiness. It controverts the statement made by Mr. Sexton that the divorce has no connection with politics by quoting from the letter written by Mrs, O'Shea to Captain O'Shea, in which she accused Healy of pub- lishing the fact of Parnell's presence at Eltham, and concluding with the words: “I was sure their spite would be endless after your Galway success,” All thoe English weekly Catholic papers are unanimous in their condemnation of Mr. Par- nell in consequence of the outcome of the O’Shea divorce suit. il MoGlynn Still a Heretic.

Legitimate Business Hardly Affected by the 8hock and Strain in Finance. EVERYTHING INDICATES ~ SOUNDNESS., The Volume of Trade Still Ahead of Previous Years~The Stelngency in Money—Reports Various Centers, from New Yonrk, Nov. 21. Tue Bre.) view of Trade ssy I'he marvel today is that the business world has been able to stand with so little disturbance thus far. Such shock and strain as the past two weeks have brought, with the assets of the largest commercial banking house in Great Britain turned over to the Bank of England, with several stock failures here and one at Philadelphia and somo sav- ings banks besieged by ignoraut depositors in a panie, the legitimate business of the country has hardly been affected at all as The stringency has affected some buy- the diMeulty of making foreign ex- change threatens to retard the movement of cotton, and a more conservativa temper is seen in trading, but evergthing thus far indi- cates a sounder condition of legitimate busi- ness than many supposea. The collapse of many great speculations has brought heavy losses, but the public has not been taking much part in such operations. It may be hoped that the financial institutions, forced at last to drop speculations which ab- sorbed enormo capital, will have become more available after the storm has passed for the use of industry and commerce. British losses by the shrinkage in South American stocks, nitrates, cedulas and South African securities are estimated at $439,000,000; the depression in American stocks since last spring has involved aloss of more than £200,- 000,000, and in wheat and other products losses have been heavy; but the number of failures up to this lime has been smaller than was apprehended. 'While the money markets are generally tight, there is still no unusual complaint as to collections, though renewals and rediscounts have been large, The volume of business continues to ex- ceed that of any previous year at all clearing houses outside of New York about 18'¢ per cent for the month thus far. Exports have been checked at New York, falling 9 per cent below last vear's for the month, but the imports here in half of November exceed last year’s by 20 per cent. Prices are yield- ing, which will help exports of products. Wheat has fallen 4 centsduring the weelk, corn about 2 cents and oats 2'{ cents, Sales of 45,000,000 bushels of wheat here indicate large liquidation, Cotton has fallen g cent, coffee a 1¢ cent, oil 47% cents, pork 7 cents per barrel and hogs 30 cents per 100 pounds Sugaris also g cent lower, tin is demoral- ized, lead weaker, and no takersare reported for copper at 163 cents. The general aver- age of prices has fallen 13 per cent this month, but 1s still about 7 per cent above that of the same date last year. Yet neither the shrickage in pri nor the stringency in the money market can be at- tributed ‘to the operations of the treasury, which has put out duringg the week $2,500,- 000 mere of the new silver notes while taking in ouly $200,000 of other forms of money. The volume of currency in ecirculation outside the treasury is now over $1,500,000,000 against $1,415,000,000 a year ago, 'but there are very few interior markets gt which more or less stringency is not reported. Baltimore, Pittsburg and Galveston are exceptions, being well supplied; but Chicago and most other points, while the demand is sharp, no trouble is reported. Reports of trade from other states are en- couraging. The south is moving the largest crop of cotton ever grown, and while ex- change causes some embarrassment, the movement is rapid. Sugar comes in largely at good prices, and the receipts of molasses at New Orleans are liberal at some decline, with moderate receipts of rice. Trade is healthy at Memphis, Louisville, Atlanta and Galveston, although in Texas lower prices cause some country failuves, Baltimore notes no disturbance because of eastern trouble, and at St. Louis trade in all lines is good with bright prospects, Trade at Denver and Kausas City is fair: at St Paul, active, though a money pressure is felt ; at Milwaukeo and Detroit, good, except that mild weather checks retail trade and the same cause effects tne shoe trade at Cleveland; Cincinnati re- ports manufacturers busy, dry goods fairly active, and the carriage i1, closing a vi profitable season; Pittsburg notes fair busi- ness at the mills, no chunge in iron or steel, and a good trade in glass. Of the great cen- go fures the best, fecling eastern tef wheat and he same week 3 meats, lard, butter and cheese larger, and oats ne double, but in dressed beef and bides thereis a heuvy decline. The dry goods trade equals last year and the trade ir clothing and shoes is ending a profit- able season, Even at Boston and Philadelphia the great failures are felt, less in commercial circles than might have been expected. At Philu~ delphia money is tight and commercial paper almost unsaleable, but the treade in wool im- proves. In groceries trade is good, though in tea and_coffes dull; in produce trade is fair, though collections are slow. Boston notes a very quiet wool market. Lumber is in very fair demand, and prices of boots and shoes are firm, though some grades of leather are lower and hides are depressed. On the whole, the commercial ovtlook is de- cidedly more favorable than might have been expected, and while the demand for iron anda rails is slack, buyers holding off as far as possible, the producers of the finished form of iron and steel are generally well occupied and prices do not decline, ‘T'he business failures occurring throughout the country daring the past seven days nur ber 274, as compared with 266 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 3 [Special Telegram to R. G.

PURR 5 VIOLATED SOME CHURCH LAWS. The Archbishop of Canterbury Ren- ders Judgment on Dr. King. Loxvoy, Nov, 21.—[Special Cablegram to Tur Ber]—The archbishop of Cauterbury has delivered judgment against Rev, Dr. Ed- ward King, bishop of Lincoln, who was was charged with ritualistic practices regard- ing the jurisdiction of the ceclesiastical court and his obligation to obey the rubical direc- tions in the prayer book. The archbishon suspended judgment in regard to the bishop's rubical firregularities, fhe mixing of water with wine used in the act of consecration, the archbishop holds, infringed the law of the church, but the use of mixed chalices pre- pared beforehand did not offend the ecclesias- tical law, The charges agmmnst the bishop regarding ablution was dismissed, it not being supported hév cvidence. The archbishop decided that Dr, King’s action in turning his face to the east during the communion and thus making his manual acts invisible was illegal.

Patrick, president of the assoclation, made a short speech, setting forth the aims and purposes of the organization, He stated that the association intemied to evect a ‘fine building in this city, devoted to art, music and litevature. first floor is to be occupied by the free public library, and on the second floor will be a gallery in which it is designed 1o establish @ collec- tion of the finest paintings to be ured, The speaker said that some of the works of art would be sccured by purchase, but far more by gift, as there are scores of Omaha citizens who would contribute to this end, and many of the leading artists of the country would willingly give of their works, desired to foster and ad- vance a higher and nobler ¢ fon. The time has come when the citizens are not so completely engrossed in the neck and neck struggle for individual weal'h, and inore time can be devoted to the advancement of art, so as to put Omaha even in this respect on a plane with the largest cities of the country, The enterprise is intended to benefit not only Omaha, but the whole state as well, so that the citizens of this commonwealth may have a place, when they visit the metropolis, in which fo pleasantly and profitably pass some of their leisure moments, Dr. George L. Miller was mtroduced as the first speaker of the evening. He said : “This occasion demands no introduction or instructions. It found its origin on the part of the needs of the city in the train gentleman who has just addressed has taken up this work and:there is no one in this city better able to make it the grand suc- sess that we all bope tosee it. I am glad to pay this persoual tribute to my friend thirty-five years. FHis home the home of the modest and the beautiful. He has traveled exteusively and can thoroughly judge and appreciate art. He has honored this city and himself in this splendid demon- stration here tonight. In order to perceive the highest poiuts in sculpture and art, we must be in constant contact with it. In Italy even the peasants are educated to it. It is in the atmosphere. Art brings us nearer to that great power that makes all things beautiful, The fathers and mothers of this city owe it to their sons and daughters not to allow this occasion to pass without seeilg to it that its benefits and refining influences are perma- nently assured for Omaha. The voice of ever; man here ought to be raised in praise of this project, which was seme time ago_so auspiciously inaugurated by Mr. George W. Lininger, “Iwant to refer here to the fact that tonight one of our most distinguished citizens is lying on his death bed. Judge Savage is a man of culture and all that is true and pure in man- hood. When such men die a city should go into mourning. He began an- organization with his neighbors that he will not live to even see through its incipiency, I want to renew my expression of hope that the citi- zens of Omaha will }msh this enterprise until the fondest hopes of my friend Patrick are realized.” Judge Walkeley was introduced,, “not as an artist of the brush, but of the law." He said *1 don't know why you call on me unless it is because you want short speeches, because it would only takea very short time for me to tell all I know about art. All men are born with more or less of aa inspiration for art, but 1 have never been quite certain how it was with myseif. by an untowayd circumstance my aspirations were chilled aud discouraged early in life, My memory takes me back to a long time ago, when 1 attended school in a primitive school house in western New York.

I light knowledge of it and r slate and pencil, and I practiced art when the master was not looking. 1 once worked for three or four days of one weck drawing the picture of a celebrated race horse, which I did not know versonally, but by reputation. I worked him up to a high state of perfection, and then I finally showed my work to the teacher. When v his smile of satisfuction I made up my mind not to be too much elated by praise, and he then told me it was a first rate camel, but the hump ought to ki been a little lavger, But for the cruel remark of that un- appreciative critic the world might have gained @ great artist and been saved a poor lawyer.

Judge Clarkson spoke in a humorous strain for several minutes. He said: “Time here- tofore has been too much devoted o building, paving and bank clearances and too little to the aevelopment of man and the better things of the soul.
