Omaha station cost the railways nothing to spoak of and it is about the ugliest at- tempt at accommodating a patient, long- suffering public on the round globe. THE war department of Germany has decided to recommend the use of Amer] can corn in equal proportions ‘with rye for army bread. This may not make hard-tack but it will be a great improve- ment upon the rye loaf and will open a market in Germany for millions of bush- ols of American corn, ALL bids for excavating the federal building site having been rejected, there will be nothing done upon the structure before spring. Now if the supervising architect will turn his genius uvon the superstructure and prepare a better plan and moro attractive building perhaps we shall feel compensated for the delay!

NEW YORK'S commercial importance has never been so fully realized or recognized abroad as within the past fow months. Financial and political revolutions in South America, rupteles in Berlin, loss of ¢ Petorsburg, uncertainty in feverish anxiety in Paris have combined to frighten London, until Eaglish capi- talists turn perforce of circumstances to New York as the least variable of financial magnets. American socuri- ties alone offer safe investment and American commercinl conditions promise brighter things for the future than those prevalling elsewhere in the world. If 1892 is not a year of marvelous commercial activity and per- onal prosperity, the pessimists are the )nly people entitled to confidence, OUR UNRIVALLED CABLE SERVIOR. It isconceded by all intelligent and discriminating newspaper readers that the cable service organized by Mr. James Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald, is incomparably superior to all others. The first comprehensive foriegn news service established, it has kept in advance of all subsequent attempts by others to cover and glean the broud field of Furopean intelli- gonce. The creation of such a ser- vice, if not exnctly a strokeof jour 18tic genius, was at any rate an evidenc of ex traordinary enterpi nd in this respect altogether cteristic of the great journal which furnished the first example of what a newspaper should be. What the Herald has done for several years in supplying the bost, most com- plete and most trustworthy Kuropean has been repeated in the full- and uccurncy of its South American news vice. When the Chilian revolution became a matter of world-wide interest und assumed peculiny importance to the American people, the New York Herald ned the expensive nnd difficult task of informing the world daily of what was going on in Chili, and the great success is to all ob- newspaper It can be supr news ness cent re- of its enterprise familiar servant readers, relied upon to maintain its in this field, toward which the interest of all enlightoned peoples, and purtic- ularly of the American people, is being directed more than ever betove. Thore are but six papers in the United States, besides the New York Herald, that get simultancously with that jour- nal the news furnished by the Bennett cable all of which is copy- righted. One of these papers is THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, which was also one of the first to purchuse the right to this service. ~ The other papers sharving it are the Cinecinnati Commereial-Gazelte, the Chicago Tribune, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the Cleve- land Leader, and the San Francisco Chroni It will thus bo that Tite BiE is the only newspapor batween Chicago and San Francisco macy sorvico, seen that ceiving this suporior and highly valua- blo service, the morits of which our readers have had an excellent opportan- ity to discover, by comparison with othe papers in our territory since affairs in South America have assumed such ex- traordinary interest and importance, The daily dispatehes from that quarter of the world, in the poiitical and com- mereial affairs of which the people of the United Statesarc more acutely in- terested than ever before, huve reported with great completeaess and ro- markable accuracy what was tran- spiring there, in many cases anticipating the information conveyed to the government by its diplomatic representatives. Tho indications are that events in the southern half of our hemisphere will continue for some time 10 possess areater interest for the Amer- ican people than those of any other part of the world. It is impossible to say what may be the ultimate consequences of tho revolution in Brazil, in its possible bearing upon the relations of the United States with Eu- ropean powoers, as well as in the offect it may have on our reciprocity arrange- ment with that -country, but in any event the progross of the movement will bo watched by intelligent Amervicuns with eangor interest and solicitude. With regard toother South American countries the ctoser commercial relations which the United States is secking to estab- lish with them renders interesting all information regarding their affairs. The arrangement of Tne Bue with the New York Herald enables it to pub- lish simultaneously with that paper all foreign news supplied by the Bennett cable service, and the almost unlimited resources and facilities of that service afford ample assurance that nothing of interest transpiving anywhere within the accessibie world will escape its at- tention. This enterprise costs a great deal of money. News by cable is ex- pensive. But in order to make a mod- orn newspaper of the highest standard cost is the last thing to be considered, and Tue BEE aims 10 be such a news- paper. re- TUE BERING SEA IRBITRATION, It was with some surprise that the country received the intelligence, con- veyed by the assistant attorney general, that a treaty had been negotinted with Great Britain for the arbitration of the Bering sen dispute. It was thus made apparent that in the absence of Sccro- tary Blaine the president was giving at- tention to this subject, with the result that an arrangement hus been effected which it is understood only awaits the ratification of the senate. Of coarse nothing has been made known as to the terms of this treaty, or what concessions have been made upon both sides, and in the absence of such information any opinion as to the result of the negotiations would be valueles The issues involved in the con- trover; which have been made familiav from the correspondence between the governments of Great By ain and the United Stites, are of that nature that a decision by an interna- tional tribunal may be very materially influenced by the form of their presen- tation. The of either country might be so presented as to almost in- sure a decision for that country. As all who have any knowledge of this matter are Great Britain for a long time invited arbitration on the one issue involved in the seizure of British vessels on the high seas. The effort of our government, under the present administeation, hus beon to se- cure a negotiation on the the broud right of this country to protect its prop- erty in seals, The prolonged discussion resulted in reaching a definite agreed to by both governments, aud that having been accomplished it comparatively easy to come to an ngree- ment on an arbitration treaty. It will be fortunate if the senate shall find no valid reason for refusing to ratify the result of the negotiations, so that without further delay than is lutely necessary this long pending con- troversy may be submitted to arbitra- tion and a settloment reached that will remove all cause for future misunder- standing. So long as the issue remains open { cnse awy issue wus abso- there will be constant dangor of irritating incidents prejudicial to the friendly relations between Great Brit - ain and the United States, whilo the protection that ought to be given the seal fisheries cannot be mnde so com- pleto as is desirable. This controversy ought to be disposed of before the arri- val of the next sealing senson. THE EUROPEAN PEACE. According to Count Kalnoky, the Aus- trian ministor of for vs, there is nothing whatever threatening the peace | of Europe. All the events which others hav arded as presaging a conflict | not very remoto are dismissed by Kal- noky as having no such character or bearing. The visit of the French fleet to Cronstadt, the interview betwoen the Russian minister of foreign affairs and the [talian premier, eventhe movement of IRussian troops on the Aus- trian frontier, are circumstances that in the opinion of the Austrinn minister of foreign affairs furnish no reason for ap- prehending u disturbance of European peace. On the contravy he rogards the outlook as quite peaceful, in evidence of which he cites the fact that he did not ask us large credite for the purposs of armament as he would have done had he feared war. Count Kalnoky is a statesman whose views regarding the European situation are entitled to respectful consideration, but they are not shared by all intelli- gent and careful observers of events. If it b true, as has boen reported and is said to be known at the Der- lin war office, that 90 per cent re; | successor in the United | decrease of the effective strength of the Russian army is massed on the frontiors of Austria, Germaay and Roumunia and that only enough troops have been left in tho east to prevent savage incursions and to preserve order among the people, it is difficult to be- lieve that such action on the pariof Russia is intended to perpetuate peace. It is stated that over 60,000 men are in position between Odessa, the Prutte, and Warsaw and if the massing of this for in that quarter does not mean war the motive of the Russian government in sending them there is incomprehensi- ble. Was there no significance in the studied evasion of the German emperor by the czar when the latter recently passed through Germany? Certainly it ems reasonuble to suppose that had the czar entertained only peaceful in- tentions, and expected or desived a con- tinuance of peace, he would have taken so favorable an opportunity to reassure Europe by paying his respeets to tho Gorman emperor, There is doubtless very little danger of wav in Europe bofore next spring, and in the meuanwhile circumstances may avise to still further postpone a conflict, but despite the confident expressions ef Count Kalnoky the prevailing conditions ‘are strongly suggestive of a probableap- peal to arms by the nations confronting each other within the next year. WHO WAS RIGHT? Defeated in its efforts to palm off a bogus claim of local cireulation on the police commission, the World-Herald crows with great gustoover the decision rendered by Judge Doune in the South Omaha liquor cases Itsattempt to make people believe that THE BEE was trying to blackmail the liquor dealers is on a par with all the arvant knavery and hypoerisy that has characterized its course on evory other oceasion. The editor of that sheet, was anxious for Judge Doann to affivm the posttion of THE BEE and would have made just as desperate an effort to se- cure the publication of notices for two consecutive woeeks as he made last spring for the South Omuaha*notices after his claim had been rejected by the Omaha police hoard. Now as to the decision. Ten years ago, when the Slocumb law first went into effect, Tur BEE insisted that the plain intent of the law was the widest publicity of the application for license during a period of two full weeks. In this claim THr BEE was fortified by a written opinion sustaining its position from one of tho ablest attorneys at the Omaha bar—-no less a person thav the Hon. George W. Doane. Thisopinion wus not concurred in by the city attorney, whose versions of the Slocumb law had as many holes as Harry Deuel’s skim- mer, and were roversed by the supreme court on every point. In view of the fact that the validity” of the whole Slocumb act was being contested at that time in the courts, and THE Buk readerless competitors raised the same howl about bleeding the liquor d: as is now raised by the Double THE BEE aid not persist in its claim and simply inserted the notices of applica- tion once each week. Lawyer Doane’s conclusions in 1881 as regards the intent of the Slocumb law aro now decided to be all wrong by Judge Doane, but ThE BEE does not propose to rest the case there. Within a few months wo shull ascertain through the supreme court whaother Lawyer Doane W rignt in 1881 or whether Judge Doune interprets the law cor- rectly in 1891, AN INCONSIS PENT OMAHOG, An imposter ought to be endowed with a good memory. But our contemporary lacks thut essentinl quality, He forgets his disreputablo record on the city hall and postofice location.

A canvass of the republicans elected to the logislature appaivs to show a safo majority in favor of Me, Sherman, and if such is the cako that majority will be far more likely to grow than to between now and the eloétion. The publicans of Ohio have learned that the party throughout the country vei earnestly desires tosee Mr. Sherman continued in the senate, and they will not be insensible or indifferent to this universal desive, There is no wish anywhero among republicans to depreciate Mr, Foraker. His ability and his servicos are recognizod and cor- dially acknowledged. But the feeling is that the retirement of Senator Sherman from public life at this time would be a national misfortune, and hence the appeal from all quarters to the republicans of Ohio to keep him in the senate, wheve his services have been of immeasurable value to the nation, and whore his wisdom and experienco will still be nceded. It is gratifying to believe that the appeal will be heeded CORONER HARRIGAN has been inex- cusably igent, but perhaps the most aggravated case of malfeasance is fo in the case of Samuel T.

Harver's Weekly, The treasury of the United States had in store on tha 1st of October, 1801, 848,341,103 silver doliars; $15,845,620 in the form of sub sidiary silver; silver bars to the value of M dollars (bars), §2,304,200 total, $100,161,326, or in round numbers, £400,000,000. The government, furchermore, is increasing this immense store by buying seven additional tons of silvor every working day in the year. Now what does £100,000,000 werth of silver moan! Stated in figures or oxpressed in words it conveys to minds as ordinarily con- stituted no definite idoa other than that of an incomprehensiblo somothing, endowed with cartain potentialities —possibly for good, pos- sibly for evil. Yet silver is a physicai ontity, possessing the properties of lenjth, breadth, thickness, eapacity to occupy or fill space, and weight. Let us apply these properties 10 the 400,000,000 and note some of the re sults of such application. Coined iuto dollars, the vroduct will weigh over 22,000,000 pounds avoirdupois, or 11,000 net tons; and if its movement is desirablo will necessitate for so duing the use of 1,000 railrond freight cars carrying eleven tons ench, or 2.200 cars carrying five tons each, or 5,500 two-horse wagons carrying each two tous. A cubic inch of pure silver weighs about 0.88 pound, and a cubic foot about 657 pounds, Hoenco the $400,000,000, if melted into a solid mass, would occupy some 33,500 cublo feet, whicli in turn would make a solid column of pure silver u foot squaro and about s1x and one-half miles high—the Wash- ington monument being 550 feet. Assuming aload of 100 pounds per man, au army of 220,000 men would be required to carry tho mass. and would make a fiie, 1 close order, clebty miles long, occupying thivty hours in “passing a given poinf,” atlowing nothing for halts or “rests.” The treasury cotints its silver by weighing 1t, which is tho part of ‘wisdom, in view of the fact thot a mau counting at the rate of 200 dollar piecos per minute steadily for cight hours a day, Sundays included, would be kept busy for cousidorably over cleven years. Piled one upon the other the $100,000,000 would attain a' height of 675 miles; and placed side by side they would curpet & room fifty feet wide and neatly twenty-four miles lor (ireat, however, as is the mass of silver at present in the “treasure houses” of the gov- ernment, it is being steadily increased by the purchase of 54,000,000 cdditional ounces every year, or at the rate—as beforo statod— of soven tons for every working aay of the year. e ———— ASSING JENTS, Eriday night a big vateh of Chilian news was being hurried into the Buelor oflice from New York v Ll Louis.

Billingsloy, an attornoy and friend | of Crow, announces his belief in the woman’s | story, and states thet within the past two | months Crow has severdl times spoken of suicide In hus serious moods, Tho story of the woman is partially borne out by the fact | that it is dificult to conceive how she could have stood in such @ position as to have fired | ono shotinto the door and tho other into Crow, if the blood marks on the floor indi- cate where he stood when struck. On tho othier haud, the wounded man repeatedly told his story to watchers” by tho dedside. = His state- ment 1is the same as that uerotoforo published, with the excotion that he now states it was the first bullet that struck him, Ho fell to the floor and an instant afterward started for the door leading into the hall- way. That while groping for the knob in the semi-twilight she snot at him again, the bullet_entering the woodwork. The blood stained finger marks on the white wall near the door seem mute tostimonials of the truth of that portion of his story. When M. C. McWilligins, who rooms di- rectly above, arrived on the sceno Crow was lying unconscious midway between the door and the pool of blood, the spot where the wounded man claims Lo was first struck. After regaining consciousness bis first words were to aceuse herof tho crime, to which sho tearfully responded, “On, Chatley, how could you say so!”’ Today when she wus brought into the room where Crow was lying propped up with pillows, she made a rush for his bedside, aod with tears welling from her eyes sho took his nead in both her hands and, kissing him tenderly, exclaimed: ‘1 forgive you, dear; tell tucm, tell them’ the truth 3 By that time, however, he’ was boeyoud hearing or speech and no recognition of hor or her words was vouchsafed. She tearfully ploaded with him to “‘teil them all,’ but was tinaily led sobbing from the room. In probing for the buller the pkysicians pulled gut small fragments of woolen cloth, which, it was subsequently found, were shot from tho lapel of ihe coat Crow was wearing at the tuno. This s deomed conclusive evidence that Crow, in the excitoment of the moment, attempted to shield himsetf from the bullet by drawing the lapel of the coat over his face, as the ¢ Qinary position of that portion of the . gar- ment” marked by tho bullet is on tho left breast. P This afternoon the doctors gave up all Liope, and say that ne will not live ' through the night. Tho builet is believed to havo lodged against the spina aud right side is alrea At9 o'clock Crow was yet alive and will live until morning. Atany rate he has lo the power of spocch, but tonight was able to understand when spoken to but could answer only by making signs with his loft hand. Crow was o queer compound of stupidity and cuuning, ignorance and intelligencs, Ho came hero soven years ago from Bucyrus, O. has been ™ successively a hotol porter, & backduiver and a privaie detective. He has uever been known to detoct unytning or anyone, however, at least tho public has never beard of his catching auy notorious criminal. He was compeiled to loave Salt Lake, whore he was a tempor sojourner some years ago, because of his allianco with the Mormon party in the pend- ing clection as a boodler and colonizer of votes, Herohe bad an unsavory reputation as a political worker and agent'of boodlers, as a jury-fixer and as a blackmailor. The adhorents of tho suicido theory aro fow among those who knew the man well. He was always liberally supphed with money, but an examination of lis effects showed only a bank balance of $75. ALMOST A MURDER Prompt, action by the police this afternoon provented avother murder in Lincoln. Old Tom Lynch and his gray haired wifo Mary arc a whisky-sodden couple whose frequent brawls have made them familiar figures in police court. 'loday, white crazed with liquor, the old wan atthcked nis wifo with a churn dasher. Tho blow caught her on the right arm, cutting a long, deep gash. She retatiated with a blow on his head from a poker, stunning the old man for a moment. Ho grappled with her and succeeded in throwing her out af doors onto the banks of Salt creok, intothe shallow waters of whicn sho slowly roiled. Whon the police arrived old Tom had_secured a loaded revolver and was staggering towards where tue old woman was painfully erawling up the banks flourishing it in tho air. Ho was di armed, and the old couple, both covered with blood, was taken to the station and locked up.

The sheriff’s deputios have a clue that may lead to the arrest of the gullty party, some cireum stances pointing to the behief that it is a case of murder. 1f they can sccuro evidence ©enough to back up their theory, asensational arvest pwill follow. Several well-to-do farmers from: Rock Creels precinet were in city today, and demanded that the coroner {nvestigatd, which will bo done tomorrow.
