Stovx Ciry, I, Dec. 19.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Bee|—Tue Bre was the only Omaha paper that gave any news concerning the appointment of a receiver for the Pacifie $Short Line, o subject thut has been of absorb: fog interest here today, Some of the Sioux City stockholders believe that the move was taken by tho New York men interested in order to crowd out the local parties holding stock. Others think differcntly and say that the appointment of & receiver will result in straightening matters out in a short time, Mr. Biorbower’s first official act was to ap: point Domald McLean general manager of the roud and the two ther: went on a tour of fuspection over the line' Mr. McLean said 0 reporter: I know little or nothing about it and do not know who wmade the application. 1 am pleased to know that a re celver has been appointed, as it will now give me timo to attend to tho business of the road. e some time past I have been chased on every side by creditors of theroad, There was 1o mouey to pay the claims and no way of getting it at the present time. As aresult the road’s equipment was being covered by liens and attached on every side. In a little while they would be tuking ron, ties, engines and everythin to the road. In fact th suld have pulled _the road to piecoes, Now it is'different. With a recei - pointed all claims will have to take their usual course. There is the United States courtand in it they will have to be scttled, 1am pleased to see it, for it means peace, Ahe warring of factions and creditors has bad a bad effect on tho rond, and the ap- pointment of a recciver will put a stop Yo it." “What will be the result of the move! Does it nean the sale of the road!” “Not much. The road will be all right. As soon as the money market cases up a little in the east there will be no trauble about secur- ing the funds necessary to set matters aright 1 will remain in charge of the management of the road, which is the order of the court, and I proposc todo what Iean to straighten out the dificulties.” )0 you think the road will be extended as projected I do. It maynot b at once, as all west- ern institutions will be affeeted by the flurry in the money market, but it will be built, and Tam going to build it.” Lauibertson Must Withdraw, , Dec, 19.—[Spacial Tolegram to ~The railway press bureau says: A prominent railway official who Hs just re- turned from Washington brings the informa- tion that Attorney General Miller has issucd an order to the cffect that G, M. Lambertson must withdraw from the prosecution of the allegred violation of theinterstatecommission, 50 far as the Burlington & Quincy railway is concerned. Lambertson is o lawyer of Lin- doln, In tho recent investigations by the feleral grand jury in this state he was employed by the intérsiate commerco com- mission to assist the district attorney, and it is said that he was ally active in pro- curing the evidence against the Burlington by which the indictment of Thomas Miller, the general freight agent of that company. was brought about, The Burtington peoplo were indignant at the part taken by Lambert- son in tho proseaution because it happens that he is the attorncy of T. M. Lowrey, gramn merchant of Lincoin, in & suit. against the Burlington company for £41,000. alleged overcharges in freight rates. They in- slsted he was using the machinery of the United States court to obtain ~ evidenco against the road to be used inthe Lowrey suit. The commission was asked to with- draw hin from the cases on that ground, but itrefused to doso. Theuttomey general was then appealed to and he has made on order that Lambertson shall withdraw from the cases so far a8 they effect the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad company.

It Leads Him to Occasionally Adopt Radical Measures. Cuicaco, Dee.19.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—General Thomas Humer of Ful- ton county, Ilinois, and a state senator has anew ideaabout General John M. Palmer, who was Senator Hamer's division com- mander during the war. “Should Palmer be sent 1o the senate, which now appears to bo the only outcome of the caucussing, it will be aquestion whether the gencral will stick to the democratic party. The senate will be democratic in a short time and legislation may arise which mnfi' be distateful to Palmer. It would bojust likehim to renounce the party and swinga free lance. Such was his character during the war when he was or- dered to report to General Howard, General Palmer imagined this was a slap at his dig- nity and accordingly resigmed. 1don’t thiunk there is a democrat in the assembly who, al- though he way not like him, will not vote for him.

Dusiiy, Dee. 19.—Canon Lee, dean of the Dublin chapter, writes a long letter deaying that the chapter met in Dublin, s asserted by Parnell, and adds that he is convinced that Ireland should act in accord with the manifesto of the heirarchy, Parnell's char- acter, as revealed in the divorce court, Lee says, speaks for itself, and since tho verdict he has given further abundant proof of his unfituess forthe leadership of the Irish party. Lee proceeds at much length to state his opinion that in view of the excited state of public feeling it is inexpedient for the clergy 1o mix up with violent meetings. He is now clearly of-the opinion that the clergy has @ duty 10 perform in impressing on the peoplo on évery suitable occasion that despite his many pre services they find themselves foreed to the conclusion that they must re gard Parncll as a fallen leader, no longer worthy of the people’s confidence, Mud Instead of Lime.

Forr Donar, Ta., Dec. 19.-~[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bef.]—The lowa State Busi- ness Men's association is working up a mutual insurance scheme which, if success- fully carried out, effectually annibilates the business of forcign companies in the state. The plan s to organize a mutual insurance company among the business men and save all expenses of agents and salaries of officers by having the business of the company done by agents of the Business Men's association, which has brauches in all the cities of the state, It 1s hoped to commence business with $10,000,000 worth of fire insurauce poli- cies, all taken by business men of the associ- atlon, If this can be done it is guaranteed that the cost of insuring will be 335 per cent less than regular board rates, and probably per still.

DIVIDING THE €IOUX INDIAN’S IN DAKOTA. The Houss Agroes to the Conforence Ieport and Adds an Approprias tion to Purchase Beef and Other Ratio Wasningron, Dee, 19.—Mr. Stanford ad- dressed the senate on his bill to provide the government with means sufficient to supply the want of a sound cireulating medium, In the course of his remarks he said thav tho scheme of the bill is to supply an ample amount of money for all business purposes. Ho montioned lands as security because they appear to bo the most certain of all security and are suficient to furnish all the money needed. The people, he thought, will have more confldence in a financial measure that is now and radical if it has at present only land for a basis, The rate of in t in the Dbill is fixed at 2 cont, but in time may be reduced as experience shall teach, The rate of interest charged by the govern- ment under the wiIl will not mneces- sarily fix the gencral rate of interest for business purposes, That will always be determined by its value inuse. The farmer having the best security will borrow for his own use or the use of others who may be willing to pay him satisfactory interest. The banker borrows money from the goverament free of interest and loans it at suoh arate as its use commands in the market. Mr. Stan- fora said the measuro had been compaved to the plan adopted in the Argentine ropublic, and assertel that thore was no analogy be- tween them, To compare the working of the measure of that republic with say 5,000,000 population to that of our country with its enlightened 60,000,000 is like comparing the methods of some irresponsible bankerto those of the Rothschilds. In conclusion, hesaid that the foundaation of the whole matter and the real question to be considered is, that inasmuch s tho government reserves the right to issuo money it is its duty—the means being provided—to furnish what Is necessary to the prosperity of the people. The bill was referred to the finance com- mittee, as was also one by Mr. Iugalls to xchauge of intorést-bearing dobt ' notes, printing deficiency bill was amended and passed, A resolution by Mr. Mauderson was ferred to the committee on Indian affairs, in- structing that committee to inquire into the condition of the Indian tribes in North and South Dakota, Mon a and elsewhere, the steps necessary to disarm them, ete, The elections bill was taken up ana Messrs. Bate and Gibson argued against it. Mr, Stewart made an_avgument against the bill on the grouud that an attempt to exe- cute it in the south would be dis- astrous to both races. He was a friend of the colored man and deeply sympathized with him, but could not a'sk him to put his life injeopardy in ovder to fight a political battle for his (Stewart’s) ad- vantage., He was equally & friend of the white man and desired to refrain from any act which might justify the white man in making war upon a defenseless race whick congress enfranchised, Whatever was done in the matter of protecting suffrage in the south, unless done through the voluntary ac- tion of the people of that se2tion, would have 10 result in one of two things. [f the negro was protected by force the same force would inevitably be driven to_the mnecessity of de- stroying his enemy. That involved theen- aveme 1 exterminntion of the whites, The employmentof force would re- sult ultimately in the extermination either of the blacks or of the whites, 1f military power was to be used in the execution-of the pending ~ bill then the bill would be defeated. If iv was to .be =a dead lotter, why pass it? Public opinion atthe south was entirely against it. Instead of protecting thg colorgd man it would bring upon_bhim persécution and misery, if not death, No assumption of party necessity could jusfify such anact. It was the plain duty of the senate to trust to natural causes in the hope that they would remedy the evil. The bill ought not to pass because it never would be enforced, because it would consoli- date the southern whites, becauso it would bring further misery on the southern blacks, and because it would increase seetional ani- mosity and kindle ancw the discords .of the past. Mr, Stewart récalled the-speeches in opposition to the force bill of 1876, made by Messrs, fHoar and Hawley, then ropresenta- tive Among those voting against the nll Mr. Stewart recalled Foster, Gartleld, Will- iam Walter Phelps, Kasson and Kellogg, He suggested that superyvisors and other officors would become marked men, and from the re- port of investigating committees and all nowledge obtained during the past twenty years it was plain what their fate would be. Unless congress was disposed to proceed to a remedy under the constitution (that of denying representation on account of ex- clusion from, or obstacles to the exercise of the franchise), the only remedy that -e: rd was in the enforcement of the laws already on the statute books and in the assurance that no pressure from the outside would be exercised. In his judgment the solid south was maintained by the use of the cry thas it was intended on the part of those who controlled the general govern ment to interfore with their local af- fairs, The moment such & cry was offectually proven to be without foundation the south could not any longer be kept solid. The sectional pnr%merc had already begun to disintegrate. ‘That disintegration must necessarily bring about . protection to the negro voté, The organization now irresisti- ble in some states in suppressing that vote would be among the earliest to bid for it when they found it necessary for thefr exist- ence, Mr. Hoar had the provisions of the force bill of 1875 read for the purpose of justifying opposition to it by himself and other republi- cans, and to show that theve was no incon- sistency in his support of the pending maasure. ¥ MrfDawes introduced n measure to pro- hibit the opening on Sunday of any exhibi- tion where appropriations by the United States are expended. Adjourned. House, Wasuxeroy, Dec. 10.—The house today, after passing a District of Columbia bill, took up the conference report on the bill amending the act for a division of a portion of the Sioux rIndians in Dakota into smaller reservations. The only change made is the authorization for the expeaditure of anap- propriation of §100,000 for the purchase of beof and other rations. In speaking of the measure Mr. Allen of Mississippi took occa- sion to eriticise congress for doing nothing to relieve the financial stringency of the coua- try aud expressed his beliof that the pres dent had done wrong and shown his little- ness in attempting to bulldoze the senate. He quoted the remark of a lady fond of deco- rating her parlor witlf sculpture, to the effect that she was going to secure n lifc statuette of President Harrison, The veport. was agreed to and the house adjourned.

At Chicago the receipts of ‘wheat and wool are a third below last year's; of hides larger and of other products about the same. The sales of merchandise exceed last year's. Money is firm and regular, business is sup- plied and there is confidence in_the immedi- ate future. At Milwaukee and Detroiv the trade is good.

The anthrocito coal tradeis demaralized, and estrictions of the output do not vestrict. A general break-up of the combine is being apprehended. Iron showsno improvement at Philudelphia or here. The demand for fin- ished proaucts generally is slack and the closing of more furnaces is likely tobe ferced. Copper is unsettled, but tin is a shade strouger at 20.85 cents and lead at 4,10.

Corn is 21g ceuts lower; pork 75 cents barrel;, nogs, 45 cents per'100_pounds, and oil a fraction lower. Cotton and coffee are un- changed for the weck. It is noteworthy that the speculative mar- kets are all hesitating in the feeling that monetary legislation may indefinitely alter the situation.

A very strange state of affairs Litehfield, a littie station on the B.& M. road fn Sherman county. Early in the week a stranger sick with mountain fever came to Mason City, Custer county, and died there. The citizens put the body in a box and shipped itto Litchfield. The Litchfield agent apprised his company of the arrival of the gruesome freight and asked them what he should do with it. He was instructed toturn it over to tho authorities for interment. When he attenipted to_carr his instruc- tions, however, the village fathers refused to receive the body on the ground that they were not authorized to use the public money for the burial of dead bodies furnished by soulless corporations and nighit watch at the depot to seo that the corpse was not surreptitiously removed and placed in saome vacaft house. In the meantime the agent has notified the railroad company that the depot is too small for two permanent oc- cupants aud that citber himself or the stranger must go.

Clark, general manager of the Union Pacific voad, arrived in the city yester: day morning, accompanied by H, C send, general passenger agent of the Mis- sourl Pacific, of which road Mr. Clark is also first vice president aud general manager. Mr. Clark traveled all nightin his special val rogistored ut the Mil- He was called upon by a representative of Tur Bee and was found quietly enjoying a fragrant after-breakfast cigar, He seemed to be in his usual health, though strange to remark, his features bore less of the troubled and tiresome expression which character! them when he bade Omaha farewell se years ago. It would be injudicious, he said, when asked whether he would call any of his old aids to nelp him on the road, to expros opinion on the subject. To do so would cause siness and anxlety which would be anything but beneficial to the road. It had always been his custom to keep such mat- ters to himself until the time arrived to act regarding them, if indeed any action were contemplated. The Missouri Pacifie, Mr. Clark admitted, would ruu 1ts passenger trains into the new union depot. This would give the road the benefit of avout twenty-five miles shorter run, which he thought was the difference between the new and the old line. The Belt line would be used as a local line and over it the freight trains intound out of the city would run. Mr. Clark said that he had not yet decided her he would take up his rosidence in ity, but would consider the matter and superiors in the cast as to what he thought would be proper in the premises and would abide by their decision, The reporter informed him that a great deal of dissatisfaction had been asiones along the western divisions of the Union Pa” cific by the frequency with which wreeks had occurred the past summer, the delay they had occasioned traffic, the losses thoy had engendered and the sacredness with which the news had been concealed from the pi and .consequently from all save those ro ing in the immediate vicinity of the acci- dents, Mr. Clark nodded sssent to every feature of the information as if it had not reached his ears for the first, ti He acknowledged the fact that wi ad frequently, vi frequently, occurred and that information scemed not to have reached the papers. These wrecks, he d, showed there was a screw loose somewhere and that it was to be regretted they could not have boen prevented. Regarding strikes, he had heard, he said, of several strikes among trainmen and other the causes of all of which he was not quite familiar with. These showed that there was a feehng of discontent among the men. What oceasioned it, he did not know. But perfect satisfaction could not be given in managing a road unless the employes were perfoctly contented and happy, and they could not be made contented unless the management got down a8 near us possible to them to understand their needs and demands. That had alwys been his pol and he had found it to result most satis. torily. He was mformed that there were in town two delegations, one of engineers, the other of firemen throughout the Union Pacific sy tem; that they had been discussing some grievances which they had intended to place before the old manager, but that they had re- served the same to be considered by himself, ark expressed himself as pleased with the method and consideration whicn had distinguished these two bodivs, as also the discretion which he understood they had dis- played on many similar occasious und smd it would afford him pleasure to meot them and consider what they had to say. ———— Dr. Birnoy cures catarrh, Bee bldg.
