Wo havo not yet determined where the smelting is to be dono, but the block tin will probably be shipped to Omaha for that purpose.

The local lodzes of the Switchmen's Mutual Benevolent assoclation are busy elocting delegates 10 the annual convention which assembles in Philadelphia some time next month. The project which was out- lined in Tur Ber over a year ago for the formation of an imniense organization to in- clude all railway employes promises to tuke tangible shape (n the near futura. A move- ment is already on foot to smooth over the difficulties between the two orders of tel wraphers and the two orders of railroad con- ductors with & view to having but one organization in_each business. In addition ch 1o this,strong efforts will bo made to oust the resent grand officers of the Brotherhood of Tainmen. This plan. if successful, will bo followed by the readmission of the tiainmen to the Federal Order of Railway Employes The question of getting the locomotive cn- gineers to join in the movement is being actively discussed. Many membors of the order favor it, and Chiof Arthur will have to fight hurd to' prevent the engincers from swinging in this direction. With the tel- egraphers in one body and tho conductors similarly situated, a great advance will bave been mado, After thut the men who are at the back of the movement think it ouly a question of time whon a great railway fedar- ation will be iu oxistence composod of every class of workmon engaged in tho ruilroad busivess in the Unitcd Statos and Canada.

Rocors says that the name of Jeremiah Rusk will not bo pre- sented by tho republicans at the next na- tional convention. Herotofore ho has always had the full delegation behind him and was ablo to use it with telling effect. Tho fact that the Wisconsin republicans wore solid for him and that that delogation was reached Inte in the call of states cnabled him to hold the balanca of power and place the prosi- dential nominecs under lasting obligations. In the next convention, according to Mayor Rogers, this will all be different. Unclo Jerrv has offended and offended dooply all because of his testimony in the treasury scandal. He made the assertion that in the sale of the Madison City 5 per cent bonds thero was collusion betwoeen tho city treas- urer and several prominent business men there, Tho gentlemen 2id to be implicated are 1n- fluential republicans and indignaotly dony the accusation.

Chairman Walkor, on behalf of the bourd of commissioners of the Western Traffic association, handed down & decision today concerning iron ore from the peninsula of Michigan and Wisconsin to Chl- | cago and Milwaukee. This subjoct was be fore the commissioners last June on an ap- plication for a reduction in rates by the Chi- cago & Northwestern road, which gavo as its reason for making tho roguest, a genaral de- pression in the iron ore trade, and the com- petation with southern furnaces. Tho board declined to authorizo a general reduction in rates, beeause thers was strong opposition to such a course by other lines, but it undertook to correct an alloged dissimilarity in rates be- tween a momber of the association and an outside line by allowing the Chieago & Northwestern to reduce the rates 5 cents per ton to Escanaba. The Milwaukee & Northern has recently askea for a reopening of the question, claim- ing that its ol rail line to Chicago is placed ata disadvantage compared with the railway and water lines, and made application for a general reduction of 15 vents. A further hearing was accordingly given, but the com- missioners decided they would not be wad ranted in granting the roduction unless in answer to a roquest united in by all or nearly ail the ntorested carriers. They intimato that if the existing conditions are continued in tho winter and if the competitive output of iron in the southern states is further relatively increasod, some general roadjust- ment involving further concossions may be made, but for the present they believe their former disposition of the caso should bo ad- hered to. Another decision by the cor sioners nuthorizes & _reduction in pig rates from Fond du Lac to Chicago to $1. per ton, and from Fond du Lac to Milwaukeo 1o 75 couts per ton, taking offect. Septen ver Ore PLAYING TO ALTON MUSIC, A flurry 1n wostern passenger circles was created by the announcement of the Chicago & Alton that its harvest excursion rates will bo one fare for the round trip and that it will run thres sxcursions instead of two. Yet the announcement was not unexpected, for a majority of the gencral passenger agents had rofrained from adverusing their excur- sions in anticivation of some such step on the part of the Alton. Chairman Iinley has called o spocial meeting of the Weste Passenger association for tomorrow to de- termine what action will be taken and there is no doubt that the Alton's rates will bo met. General Passenger Agont Heafford of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul will n- troduco a resolution proposing to adopt the Alton’s rates and dates to all_ southwestern Missouri river points and the territory im- mediately west thereof, but to leave thie pee- vious action of the association uncnanged so far as it relates to points in Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South and North Dakota. ATCHISON CALLS A MALT. The officials of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa I7e are tired of taking the blame for the shortcomings of their ally, the Jacksonville & Southeastern, and have determined to call o halt. Passenger ‘Trafic Manager White has notified General Passenger Agent Kent that if he does not immediately stop the de- moralizing tactics and maintain tariff rates the Atchison will no longer do businessin conuection with the Jacksonville & South- eastern. In four cases this morning the Atchison carried out its threat to honor no Grand Army of the Kepublic excursion tickets that were extended beyond the agieed limit. ‘The passengers holding these tickets rode from St. Louis to Peoria. but when thay struck the Atchison they were compelled to pay their fare to Chicago.

Cuicago, Aug. 7.—A bill was filed in the circuit court by F. Harvey and Judge Driggs issued an injunction restraining the Atchi- son, Topeka & Sunta Fe railroad company from runniog diniog cars upon its lines west of the Missouri river which are covered by coutract with him; from feeding passengers betwaen any of the points upon this portion of the road and from refusing to stop its pas- senger trains at complainants hotels and lunch rooms. Harvey represents that his plant covers nearly two thousand five bhun- dred wmiles of railroad and has cost him §150,- 000; he is conducting twenty hotels and eat- ing houses, and now the road threatens to put on dining cars and give his places the go by. Railroad people suy the contract does not debar them from putting on dining cars and will move the dissolution of the injunc- tion. Union Pacitic Gets Money.

Only Somo Faxtraordinary Tofluencs Oan Affect Nobraska's Prospect for Plenty. MOST BOUNTEOUS YIELD EVER KNOWN. What a Gentleman Who Has Been Over the Ground Says—lowa's Latest Crop Bulletin Very Promising. Lyman W. Case, who bas boen making fre- quent and extended drives through tho state, and whoso busineds for tha past ten years has been largely with the farmers, is well qualifiea to give s reliablo estimate of the present season’s crops. In conversation with Tie Bek yesterday ho said : “In general I have never scena season when the matured crops in small grains showed up so well 1n a large area of country as they do throughout eastern Nebraska, and the prospects for a prodigious corn crop were never so general or so uniformly flattering. I am not especially familiar with any part of the stato west of Hasiings and Grand Island. The smallor cereais have been, of course, harvested “And it is magnificent. In quantity, qual- ity and market value it is undoubtedly' with- out precedent. Some tields of oats, for in- stance, have a yield of 100 bushels to the acre. 'These small grains, oats and flax par. ticularly, seem to be larger and_sounder and better in'tho counties lying wost of tho first fifty or sixty miles, which country was most wholly ivithout a crop last year. “The small grains show a good average crop, too, in all the river counties, but on & rocent trip through Cass, Saunders and But- ler into Poik and Hamilton counties tho oats and flax seem to be heavier and better than they are in the east, or, in other words, they are better the farther west you go. Thecorn is alittle late, but promises exceedingly well. It 13 is of good color, good stand, and growing finely. With a continua- tion of this superb corn growing weather, the yield will be simply tremendous, and under any circumstances other than an un- heard of meteorological disturbance, an im- mense crop will be hurvested. “There has beon a vast deal of on both sides in the farm morigage discus- uonsensoe sion. Undoubtedly a considerablo propor- tion of the farms in castern Nobraska have been encumbored for eivher permanent im- provements or for a portion of the pur- chaso price. But to stato that the farmers aro either hopelessly in debt, or that one or two good crops will eutively reliove thom, would be equally extravagant. But tuo present splendid prospects will go a long way toward putting overy thrifty and in- dustrious farmer in easy circumstances and on the best possiblo terms with himself and the world. “Tn many nstances old settlers who never had a mortgage on their lands, but have developed and improved them out of tho surplus of their products, hava beon induced, within the past twelve months or so, to mortgage for the pur- pose of purchasing additional adjacent territory in the approhension that Nebraska's rapid strides forward in the science of agri- culture would necessarily raise the prico_ of land. And this is strictly true, for there has been a steady advance in spite of the short crop of last season. This year's yield will set things boomiug again, for 1 many locali- ties there has already been an advance in the price ot good arableland, from $5 to 8 per acre, ““Tha reports of zood crops, as [ have them, are genoral and uniform, 'almost without paralio) or exception. I haven't heard a sin- glo kick, or a murmur even, from any section of this brond state of ours on account of any fears of a shortage in the crops, aud truly Nebraska is in a promising and prosperous and progressive condition.” 10WA CROP REPORT. August Showing of the Condition of Growing and Ripening Grain. Des Moixes, Ia., Aug. 7.—The daily aver- age temperaturo throughout the month of July was about 6 degrees below the normal, making it the coolest July within the past twenty years. This mado it pleasant for man and beast and favorable for work in the harvest fields, but the growth of corn was seriously checked, and the condition of that great staple crop has been set back a few points since the last report. “Dagpite frequent showers, an unusual de- gree of cloudiuess and occasional heavy local downpours, groat progress has been made in securing the hay and ripened grain crops, and the yield has been exceptionaily heavy in nearly all portions of the state. Thresh- ing operations have begun, and the returns are very encouraging. And even if the corn cropshould be cut short by early frost, the aggrogate valuo of the output of lowa furms will be fully up to the averaze of recent years. Comparison with the report made ‘August1, 1890, shows a very heavy gain in “The condition of this crop as shown rrespondents is 8015 vor cent, a de- creuse of 514 per cont sinco July 1. The fol- lowing counties report its condition above 100, viz:_ Appanoose, 102; Davis, 119; Henry, 1063 Jefferson, 103: Kossuth, 110; Keokuk, 105; Louisa, 102; Lucas, 1005 Marion, 104} Van Buren, 106; Wapello, 103, and Washing- ton 105, Mahaska and Lee' report 00 par cont. Tho lowest ratng is 71 per cent, in Chorolee county, from the effacts of heavy floods. Last year the condition of this crop for the state, at the corresponding date, was 70} per cent, and the full returns for the year showed that even that low rating was too high. This year the corn s in a hoalthy condition as to color and stand, and its only hazavd is the danger of frost boforo reaching its full maturity. It needs highly favorable conditions until the last of Septemver to mako a fair crop. Broom Corn—By crop is 2 per cent.

Business in Many Lines Disappoint- ing But Confidence Increasing. New York, Aug: 7.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade will say: “While business in many lines is disappointing, the feeling af confidence distinctly increases. The belief increases that the country will be able to sell such vast quantities of grain abroad and to draw so heavy upon foreign supplies of capital that all home industries will be greatly stimulated. Monetary dift- culties are stiil in the futuro, for though at some southern points markets are tight, sup- plies at western ceuters are adequate. for legitimate business and mere speculation gets less nelp than usual. Depression in somo great ndustries continues and is real, but may ba traced to causes obviously not permanent. Thus iron manufacture is much set back by the inability of railroads to make purchases because they fail to negatiate securities, Cotton manufac- ture, retarded by the extraordinary fall in the price of cotton, and consequent losses on #oods made from materials purchased early in the past year, still finds a fairly large de- mand at some reduction in prices, and most goous are moving freely. The wool manu- facture is distinetly improving. In men's wear goods there is more encaursgement, aud many western buyers now here have from home advices that goods ure selling more freely. Spring orders are still short of the usual amount, and last year's clothiers bought too much of cheap low grades. In dress yoods a fair commission business is scen, domestic products largely taking the place of foreign. Iteports from other cities refloct a grow- ing confidence in the future. At Boston trade in merchandise increases and is very Kood for boots und shoes, with factories woil employed, and western and soutbern raports are quite favorable. With active trade. in wool and better In goods the close money market causes some embarrassment. At Philadelphia in most trades there is much complaint and slow collections. At Pitts- burg manufactured iron is fairly active and the glass trade good, but coll tions rather slow. ' At Cleveland teado is enlarging with counfidence and at Cincinnati the furniture trade is growing, but collections are only fair, Chicozo feels the effeot of groat crops, distinctly, wheat recoipts beiug seven-fold over last year, rye five-fold, barley two-fold, wool nearly double, und 1a corn, beef, hides and butter some in- creaso is had. Sales of clothing and shoes are larger than ever before at this season and in all lines collections are satisfactory. At other western points the crop prospects are almost everywhere mentioned as unsur- passed, and at St. Louis the demand for money in the interior grows more pressing and commercial borrowers are held closely to DU their needs. At Minueapolis, b, Paul, Omaha and Kansas City trade is generally good, at Louisville and Nashville improving, and at Montgomery the demand for goods is fair, but credits very conservative, while at Mem' phis and Savannah roports of the trado are loss favorablo and at Jacksonvillo business is very dull. Unfavorable weather has strength- ened cotton at New Orleans, and the demand for sugar is good, with rico Surong and monoy in good demand, but with supplies ampio for the logitimato trade. Prices of commoditios are going down aud for the first time this year tho general lovel is lower than a year ago, having declined ' por cent the past weok, Wheat has fallon iy of u cont 1n spite of exports greatly oxceeding last year’'s, and tho enormous western re- ceipts make the constantly repeated assertions that the alliance can hold back wheat appear ridiculous. Western ecstimates, not _unusu- ully extrome, now allow from 555,000,000 bushels upward for the crop, while even more moderato eastern estimates make 200, 000,000 busnels for exports, Corn is 1ij¢ lower, Pork products aroa fraction lower and coffee an eighthdower, Financial prospocts have not changed and, though money on call i cheap, commercial loans are made with caution, Large failures have occurred, but none threatening financial disturbance.§'he tone abroad 18 less strained and the bank of Franco has gainod gold largoly, but pressuro 1n Europe must rosult if noods for broudstuffs are as large as is supposed. Foreign imports of merchun- so in New York in July fall 19 per cent below the year, whilo the oxports largoly in- crease. The demand for money to move crops begins o be felt by many banks The business fuilures occurring through- out the country during the last seven days numbered 231, a8 compared with a total of 247 last weok. For the corresponding week of last year the ligures were 208, e 10 ROB THE TREASURY.

Mr. Dailey made a ringing speech, arguing that the smolter people should meet tho work- men halt way and work for an oarly adjust- mont of the troublo. Ho believed that if a committee of reputable citizons would meot the two factions, an arbitration could be reachod. Councilman Osthoff favorad the appoint- ment of the committee. He thought the gontlemon pamed should have power to act, and if they actod wisely they would have the support of the entire community. Mr. Dailey said tho members of the coun- cil had worked hard for the city, and ho kaew that they would not fail 1t this was placed iu their hands. Ou motion of Mr. Dailey councilmen were clected membor commitieo: First ward, . J.

He stated that he would work day and night to accomplish the object expected of him. work tho following the of Mr. Schoacke urged that the commit- too should at once take meas- ures to test the comstitutionality of the eight hour law. He ~ was of the opmion that tho people of Omaha should demand an opizion from tho judges of the district court. If the case was brought in the usual way it would be two or threo yoars before a suprame court. decision could be reaclied. Should the judges do their duty an opinion could be secured within a fow hours. He foared that if the mattor was patched up without a court opiion the trouble might break out at auy time; but i an opinfon could bo seeurod from the courts all difficulties would be settled. Mr. Specht thought that if the judge would not give an opinion a test case should bo made and at once carrvied to the supremo court. Mr. Schnacke opined that if the matter was Iaid before the courts they would not refuse. o then turned loose on the council and in- sisted that the membors should bo held re- sponsible for all suits that might be brought on account of the police and firemen working overtime, Mr. Osthoff denied that the council could bo beld responsible. Ho insisted that_the two forces were appointed and managed by state oficers, and that the council had noth- ing to do with the men. Mr. Schoacke still point. Councilman Cenway replied by stating that the eight_bour law was not a city ordi- nance, but a state law, aud consequently the council would not be held responsiblo. Upon returning 1o vhe original proposition Attorney Miuahan gave his opinion of the course ta be pursued. e stated that some violator of the eight hour law shoula be arrested and sent to jail. The man would re- fuse to givo bail. This would result in the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus and in that mazuer the case could bo brougnt be- fore tho supreme court within twenty-four his insisted upon hours. ~Ha thought the men would all be willing to return to work if an agreement’ was ontered 1nto by which both employer and employe would agres to stand by the decision. The committee was instructed to take hola of the matter and use such judgment as the members might see fit to” bring about an early adjadication. Another mecting will be held night. next Friday ——— PLAYING IN VERY ILIRD LUCK, Strange Story of an Emigrant Which May Not Be True.
