A long and somewhat heated discussion here | ensued rolative to tho right of tho lines of transgortation represented in the congress to have a representative upon the above com mittee, and upon motion of Senator Warren it was’ provided that a representative from the different linos bo added to the committeo on resolution Thomas L. Kimball of the Union Pacific Railway presented credentiais, which were approved, Introducing Resolutions. The afternoon session was called to order at 2:15 by the president. The order of the day duction of resolutions, was then taken up. Mr. Nason offered the following resolution Resolved, That a committeo of three from ench of the corn producivg states of the transmississipl country here represented be appointed by the respective delegations to deviso ways and means for the introduction of corn food, and disseminate in foreign countries tho methods of its use in America. Mr. Gregory of Kansas introduced o reso- lution eailing attention to the fact that government lands and forest lands in general throughout the west were being rapidly stripped of their timber ana that congress should bo asked to take moro uffcctive steps to protect these timber lands. Mr. Thomas of Minnesota introduced a resolution deciaring that the transmississippi states should petition congress to open a channel from the great lakes to the sea board through which large vessels might pass. The secretary then read a letter from the executive committee of the irrigation con gross which met at Salt Lake a few weeks ago. Tho letter presented in a suceinct and iblo manuer the great irvigation prob The letter was signed by A. L. Thomas, ident, and W. 5. Smythe, secretary of fonal irrigation committee. ‘’he com- mercial congress was asked by the communi cation to assist in the work of pushing for ward legislation favorable to irrigation en- terprises. Mr. Wells of New Mexico introduced a rosolution declaring that the territories of New Mexico and Arizona should bo ad- mitted as states and calling upon congress to tako such steps as would admit these terri- tories to statehood. Mr. Kelley of Kensas introduced a resolu- tion to instruct the secretary to prepere such parts of the report as would be suitable for newspaper publication and have them priated upon slips convenient to mail to the newspapers of the country. r. €ochrane of Missouiri introduced a res- olution looking toward the consolidation of tho Western Commercial congress, which met in Kansas City, with the J'ransmissis- sippi Commercial congross. For and Against Free Silver. Mr. Crews of Kansas offeroa a resolution opposing the free and unlimited coinage of silver as beine calculated to unsettle the. finances of the country. The resolution was received with applause from the anti-free silyer men. Mr. Bushnell of Nebraska introduced a resolution to petition fthe president of the United States in the interest of the trans- mississippi states, asking that a representa- tive citizem of tho transmississippi states be appointed upon the Interstate Commerco commussion. The resolution was received with applause. Mr. Buchanan of Colorado then introduced a resolution favoring the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the mints of the Unitod States, The free silver men had their.round t apolause then, and right vigorously did they 1mprove the opportunity to express their approval of the resolution. Dr. Miller of Nebraska introduced a_roso- lution expressing the opinion that most of the national laws that had been enacted for the purpose of regulating interstate com merce had been but s hindranceand a burden to the pecple aud should bo repealed. These resolutions were all referred with- out debate to the committeo on resolutions, Secretary Nason then stepped upon the stage and aunouuced that Mr. Crawford of Velasco, Tex., had furnished a box of flowers from the sunny south to be distributed among tho delegates. Tho flowers were then distributed and all the delegates soon wearing fragrant bouttonaires, Tho congress was then given an invitation by Seoretary Nason of the Omaha Board of Trade to take a drive about the cily this afternoon. The invitation was accepted and the hour of ¥ p. m. selected as_the timo for tho drive. Tho congross will meet at 4 o'clock, after the drive, for a short session. Mon. T. J. Mahoney Talks. The order of the day haying been disposed of, tho chairman then asked the dolegates their further pleasure. Dr. Miller asked the privilege of intro- ducing a citizon of Omaha to address the congress. The request was granted and Dr. Miller escorted Hou. T. J. Mahoney to the stagc and introduced him to the chairman. President Thomas then introduced Mr. Ma- honey to the assembly and he spoke for half an hour upon the yuestion of production and overproduction. Mr. Mahoney held_that tho cry of over- production bringing hard times was all moon- shine. Thero has been no such thing as over- production. A bounteous production of the uecessaries and luxuries simply made it pos- sible for moro people to enjoy to a greator ex- tent the good things of life, What people called overproduction was simply unequal production. Ex-Senator Ingulls” said that there was no law which had prevonted him from becoming as wealthy and in- fluential as Jay Gould. Mr. Mahoney thought tiere were laws that had been inim- 1cal to the prosperity of certain classes. Tho opportunities had been made unequal by laws which sought to manage tho busiuoss of the people when thay should have been permitted to_manage their own affairs. He believed in the repeal of those laws which pressed heavily unon some classes, Ex-Governor Hubbard of Texas was called for, but excused himself by saying that he expectd to say something later iipon some of tho topics that were expected to be pre- sented. Jolonel Martin McGinnis of Montana was called out. He was pleased, he said, to meet witl: 0 many of the representutive’ men of the great west. Votce from Montana. Colonel McGinnis said he could, he bo- lieved, claim & place among the frontiersmen of tho transcississippi states, and he was proud to be included in their ranks. He had come west after the war and cast his lot with Montana. He had belped to fight Icdians aud had helped to defend the heroic men who made it possible to live in the west against the morbid attacks of the atleped philanthro- pists of the east who were always ready to condemn the killing of an Indian, He suid tho dawn of a great and glorious day for the west had just begun. The time was not fur distant when the great valloy of the Mis- souri would be the very centor of population sod the center of wealth in those United which was the intro- were peaker thon spoko of the interest that all tho central and_western states had 1n tho deep water harbor movement on the shores of the Gulf of Mex Ho hoped to seo the great Missourl river improved so that it should bear upon its ample bosom the vessels that carry the weaith of the land to the great markets of the world, Tnen turning to the question of free silver colnage, Colonel McGinnis made o vigorous speech of five minutes, in which he declarcd that silver should be placed side by side with gold as the circulating medium of the land. Tio touched tho irrigation question ard in & general way condemned unjust taxation and unjust laws. Colonel McGinnis closed lu an eloquent euiogy upon the lives of the gr frontiersmen of the country, and was heart- ily applanded. « Belteves in Silver Coinage. Colonel Cochrane of Missourl, was then called to the stage. Ho began by sketching graphically the great resources of the states represented by tho delegates present. He held that there was no clashing of interests between the east and tho west. 1t was only a misunderstanding Tho speaker then took up the silver ques- tion. Ho held that the United States had nothing to fear in adopting free siiver coin- age. 'he United States,” he said, ‘‘put maore silver into a dollar than any country on earth.” Lookiug to Europo for argu- ment in favor of the double standard, Colonel Cochrane took up to the relative strength, fivancially, of France and England and sald that France was tho most substantisl money center of the earth. When the Baring Bros. failed, where did the Bank of England go for gold ! To France, 8 country whero siver was recognized 8s monoy on an equsl footiug with gold. According to the arguments ad vauced by those who oppose the free coinage of silver England should have goue to Ger- many or the United States where the sincle gold” standard prevailed. But England turned to a double_ standard country to bor. row gold. 4 Coming back to the United States, the spoaker sald that the people had prospered Gospite the wretched laws that had boon enacted. The financial policy of,the United States since the war had boen ruinous and oppressive to the people. There was plenty of monoy immediately after the war, but when reconstruction came the money in cir- culation had to be aivided up with the south- ern statos, and it_was not sufficient for the wholo country, The circulation per capita had shrunk so that there was not money enough in the country for the transaction of business. The dull times in the west were very largely attributable to the fact that there was not enough money in circulation He hoped to sea the convention adopt resolu- tions upon the free silver problem that would carry no uncertaln sound to the eastern states Cotonel Cochrane thon turned to the sub- ject of protection. He deciared that what ns called protection was robbery. Tho manufacturers of the east scemed to think that they wero the masters of the people. Ho denonnced tho cry of help for infant iu- dustries as being only a subterfuce for con- tinued oppression upon the part of the manu- facturers, Committee on Constitution. When Cotonel Cochrane had finished his speech the chairman appointed the following committeo on constitution and by-laws: Walter Gresham of Texas, J. H. Keatloy of Towa, Howell Jones of Kansas, J. L. Bitten- ger of Missouri and Aaron Watl of Ne- braska. The congress thon adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock this morning. The committee on meet at 9:30 in Senator the Millard hotel. Delezates Present.

Heisa ready, elo- quent and masterful spoaker, moving his audience from mirth to earnestness at will.

Nothing New in the Péculiar Manner fa Which it 1s Claimed Joe Coe Died—Fditorial Comments, Cuicaqo Bureav or Tie Bes, | Cureaao. Ik, Oct. 20, § The Omaba lynching stiil furmishos ma- torial for the didactic pens of Chicago's able editors, Kespecting the testimony of tho deputy coronor who swore that Joo Coe the negro, died, not from hanging but from fright, Chicago doctors admit that fright might cause death. Dr. Davis of 75 Madison street said: “If you want to know whether it is possible to frighten a person to death, I would say cer tainly, for I have seon several such cases my self. The African is a peculiarly excitable person ana Jiable to be overcome with great emotions.” Said Dr. Carroll: Tt is possible this man muy have been frightened to deatn before ho was hanged. 1 don’t undertake to give an opinion on the merits of this peculiar case, but if you want to know whether a man may die from fright, I say yes, My grandfather had a comrade in the war of 1812 who was killed with the spent air from a cannon ball on the field of battle, He felt the force of theair and dropped like a shot. That man was frightened to doath." Dr. fiayes and sevoral others also expressed their belief In the fright theory. Commenting on the caso the Post says : urely sinee the river mentlo by Ham- let's grave digger came to the u appy vietim of molancholy and v thiore nas been no such ease of accounting for sor hing by @ GRS N0 more ¢ han moon with green cheese t \dof the crowner's quest dey Wt in aha, should have been christened Daniel. Tho News says: Omaha's ty coronor has testified that the negro whom they hanged out there the other day died of fright. Of course this will stmplify things for the lynchers. for a man has no business todie of fright. even if sev- eral hundred men are trampioz on him while several hundred others are pulling on a rope that's fastened around his neck. Under all circumstances the Omahaian 18 supposed to preserve his courage. Tho negro's back was broken In three pluces and the deputy coro- ner's theory is that he died of the fear that he was to receive bodily harm WESTERN BUSINESS LIGNT. Whatever may be the cause, the western roads running into Chicago are just now baying alullin their business. Six weeks ago they expected by this time, to have such a blockade of freight on their resvective lines as would drive them almost to distrac- tion to get it raised and to keep the traflic moving without friction ‘or delay. Instead of tnis they find themselves able to take caro of all the business they can secure quito com- fortably. No freight cay famine has yot ma- tertalized, nor has ony otfier event happened t0 causo tnem anxioty on' kecount of super- abundance of business: The fact is that traflic, instead of increasuig as tho weeks go by, nas suffered an appreciable decline since the beginning of the present month. The amount handled from October 1 to dato has not equalled by a good deal that transported during the same portion of September. FAKMERS IN POLITICS, An attempt is to be maao at tho stato as- sembly of the Farmers Mutual Benefit asso- ciation at Springfield to pass resolutions en— dorsing the people’s party, but a lively timo is anticipated becauso the attempt will bo bitterly opposed by the old party men. LATEST WORLD'S' PAIR NEWS, Another commission of World’s fair boom— ors is soon o be sent-to kurope, dnd about the same timo a party of envoys will start to Moxico. Tho luropean commission is to visit Spain, Italy, Turkey, tue Danubian and North African’ States, none of which were reached by the commission that recentiy ro- turned.

This is to be 300 by 300 feet. 1t will cost about $100,- 000, Chief Buchanan bas asked for an building for the taxidermists malke a big display.

Seventy-threo of the 150 carponters who quit work on the electrical bullding because their foreman was removed by oneof the con- tractors, have gone back to work. All arrangements have now been made to work twenty-four hours & day on the manti- facturers and liberal arts building. FOR ELEVATED RATLROAD TRACKS, Important action was taken by the stand ing committen of the council on rallroads yesterday toward requiring railroads to ol vate ther tracks, n motion of Aldorman Gahan asking tho corporation counsel to re- port an ordinance requiring all the roads to elovate their tracks within the city limits fourteen foet being carried unanimously. WESTERN DASEBALL TALK. “Baron' Henry Hach of the defunct Min- olis club 18 in the city to attend & meet- tho American association Thursday On his return he will begin work toward re- organizing the Westorn Baso Ball assocla- tion. He is confident that a_league can be mudo to succeed in the = northwost i properly conducted. He ex- pects ~ Kansas City to break into the American association, butis rather giad of it, 28 the city on the Kaw, with its fancy salar- 163, ostablished n standard too high for the Wastern ontirely. Hach expects Milwaukee t0 go buck into the Western, Its exporience in the American association has been a costly oneand 1t is now unable to pay its playors. Mr. Hach thinks a circuit to comprise_Den- ver, Lincoln, Stoux City, St. Paul, Minno- aukee, Dulath and some vould be a winning one. The salaries, however, must come down, and a rogular syatem of retrenchment be practicod. SHUL OUT WOMEN VOTENS, In accordance with an_opinion rendered by the county attorney, the board of election commissioners has - issued insteuctions to clerks and judges in the coming election for county ofticers to the effect that “only sueh womer: as bave received o cortificate of nat- uralization from some court of record in this state prior to January 1, 1870, are entitled to register.”” The now Australian ballot law, under which the election is to bo held, pr vides that womon may yoto for superintend- ent of schools, but its working 1s such as to admit of the construction given it. Under this ruling the womon are aisfranchised, as there are not in_all probubility a_half dozen women in tho city and county who can cast their ballots under tho ruling made.
