AGAINST THE WRINLEY LAW | T | Preparations Completed by the Demoocrats to Attack the Measure, INTERESTS NEBRASKA'S INVOLVED ¥r iy ity gressman Tryan's . Binding Twine B Wil e ¥ Recelved by the House Ma, Not Likely to Pass the Senates Wasiixarox Bureav or Tie Bre, 18 FouRTEENTH STREET, W isminatos, D, (., Feb, 16, “There will be firing all along the line in the house next week against the McKinley tariff law,” said Mr, Bryan of Nevraska to Ttk Bre correspondent this afternoon, Mr. Bryan is a democratic member of the com aittee on ways and moans, is the author of the freo binding twine bill, and says he is eager for the fray. “AL the meeting the committee this morning,” continued Mr. Bryan, ‘the majority voted to report the three bills pro- viding for free binding twine, free wool and free cotton ties and cotton bagging, and to urge thoir adoption, The bills will bo re ported to the house as soon as the republican mombers of the committee got their reports ready. Al of the measures will be reported at one time and all will come up for discus- slou at thesame time, but each will stand upon its feet and will bo voted upon sep- aratelv. Mr. Springer wroto tho report on free wool, © wrote that upon binding twine and Mr. Turner of Georgia wrote the report upon free cotton ties ana free bagging. Kach, you see, took as his subject that which is of of most lnterest to his local consutuency. Will Take & Wide Range, “We turned over our reports to the repub- n moembers of tho committee today and y await the complotion of thoir minority reports. We certainly 't the bilis 1o go to the house by next Monuay and probably this week.” “When will they oome up for debate in the house ' was asked, o time has yet beer fixed, but there will bo not more than two or threo days clapse after tho measures are reported before they wiil b taken up for consideration.” “Will the appropriation bills take prece- dence!” “No, sir; although the tariff debate may bo temporarily laid aside at any time to take up e approvriation bills as they are reported. ’ “Will tho debate tako a general range, or will it bo confined to the specific subjucts in Ihe bills?" +On, every speech is expected to take a wide range and cover the entire catalogue, othorwise nearly every member would make a dozen ormore speoches, When binding twine is before the nouse, for instance, you will hoar about steel rals, sugar bounty, clothing and_every other articlo mentioned in the tariff law. T'he debate upon the threo bills now ready for the report of the house may lasta month, but there will be uo un- ry delay, mor will any extrancous be aamitled. \We cxpect to pass tho bills just s they will ba roported and force the fightto a finisn without any otber propo- sition interforing. In other words, when my froe binding twine bill goes to tho senate we will know whether that body dares suppress or vote it down just as 1t stands without re- lation to any otheritem in the tariff law. We douot expect any misunderstanding or dodging.” Where Nebraska Comes In, “What do you expect to do with the pro- test which will come to you from tho great binding twine industty which has just started at Fremont, in your state, and which promises to supply the cntire country by tho aid of its offspriugs withina very sbort time!" Phis question was evidently not expected by Mr. Bryan and evidently was not wel- come, but he met it by sayine: *if'you will notice, my il does not affect homp twine, the kind made now in my state, but simply makes freo twine manufactured from juto, manila, sisal grass and other foreign grown fibers. I uotice that of the 50,000 tons of binding twine manufactured in hiis country the last year, but 7,000 tons wero manufactured from hemp.” In this position Mr, Beyan completely over- Jooked the matter of labor and keld 1o the argument that as long as bemp was protectod thero should be no complaint. He then udded incautiously that ir it were not for tho fact that it would necessitato an over- hauling of the schedules in the tariff law re- Iating to othor articles mauo from homp he would have gone further and not excepted Lemp twine from tho bill. “I think hemp twine should be on the list also," he said. 3 u takes the position that the oven though the manufacturo from hemp wili give 1flem a gooa market for another of their home products, prefer imme- diate lower prices for tho twine they must buy and that the time necossary to placo the binding twine industry upon a footing sufi- ciontly formidable to reduce prices to a level with the articlo which may bo imported froo of duty will not justify present *sacrifices’ in the matter of increased prices to con- sum.ors, They Will Experiment at Any Cost, Heo says he is willlng to try the experiment evon in the fuce of the fact thatin his own stato there is a binding industry of immense proportions which 1s Just getting on its feet. It has always been the iuvariable ruleof the ways and means committe for the majority, after preparing a tarif bill and agreemng upou their report to accompany it, to aliow tho minority members of tho committeo @ reasonable time to examine in coufidence the bill and majority report, o as to prepare u statement ~ to ~ the house, The state- 1eat wns current At the canitol loday that Chairman Springer and fellow democrats on the committee bad decided to violate this precedent und seud their bills and reports to the house without allowing the republicans an opportunity to prepare a minority report for presentation at the same time. In fact early in the day Chairman Springer aid sny that the minority of the committee had 1o right to demand so much consideration or to be given any opportunity to delay the veport of the bills to the house. Later, howeyer, Mr, Springer was persuaded that it would be wiser to extend the usual courtesy to the minority. S>rator Morrill, the Voteran tariff exvert of the upper branch of congress and chair- man of the senate finance committec, ox- pressed tho opinion today that no tariff bill Would pass the scnate, He thought tho free binding twine bill might have been dnnger- ously likely to reach the president had a practical oxperience In Nebraska shown that the McKiuley bill cheapened binding twine to the farme; Reported Favorubly on Bryan's Bill, A favorable report has been made by the house committee on judiciary upon Mr, Bryan’s two bills relating Lo the advertiso mwent and sale of lands to be sold under decree of the Uuited States courts in tho county seat in their location. The bills have been consolidated and siightly changed. The consolidated vill or substitute reported pro- vidos that all real estate sold under order or decree of any court of the United States shall be sold at the court house of the county, parish or city in which such real estate is or the greater part thereof is located, or upon the Dremises, as the court rondering such order of decree of sale shall direct and that @il personnl property sold under like orders or decrees shall be sold in th me manner as veal estate, uniess in the opinion of the court rendering such orders or decrees of sale it will be best 1o make the sale in some other manver. It further provides that where the law requires notice of such sales to be wmade by publica- tion, such notice sfall be published in some vewspaper publisbed in the county, parish or aity in which such property is located, or if no newspaper is published in the county thou the oue of nearest general publication. Mr. Bryan said of the substitute bill aua the general proportivns 1o Tie BEE cOFres- pondent today: “I am perfectly satisiied with the substitute: it covers fully all of the poiuts in my bill. 1 simply waut to 'lul ) stop to this practice of advertising lands for sale in romote parts of iiebraska, for in stance, in the Omahs nowspapers, and at the sume timo want to have the sales advertised in nowspapers which are read by those most intorested. 1 also want to have the property sola L such laces us il best accommodate those most directly interested, As it is uow, lands are adver- Msed and sold in many lastances whers no one who s directly interested can have sither the advantage of the information of advertisement or attendance at the sales, 1 am sure the substitute will be passed by the nouso in a short time aud see no reason why it will not be promptly and favorably acted | upon in tho senate.” Mise Postmasters apppointed today: Nebraska Allen, Dixon county, C.

Mr. Hamilton Hus Iis Innings, Mr. Hamiiton, superintendent of buildings for the Board of Eaucation, says that the committee appointea by the Board of Educa- tion will find paper under the floors of the itellom scheol, but if he had not interferod in the work done by Mr, David I. Hayden the job would nave been a very poor ono. He says he happened to be v the new building one day when Hayden, who was & sub-con tractor, and his men were putting down the floor, He noticed that thers was no paper under the boaras thev were putting down and asked Hayden how it happered. Hayden said that 1t wus simply o mistake and ouly & couple of boards hid baen put down with' no paper under them, Mr. Hamilton says he had Hayden tear up these two boards aud still no paper was un- covered. They continued to rip up the floor and nearly a dozen boards had been torn up be- fore the papor was reached. Mr. Hayden now bas a bill for $34 before the board for tear- fug up and relaying that secuion of flooring. Superintendent Hamilton states that Hay- don has no just claim against the board on that score because knew that the spocifications for paper under the floors, and he rlfln, 10 lay the floor without it, uo matter what the instructions of the original con- tractor migbt kave been. Speaking further upon the paper question Mr. Hamiiton sald that Cady & Gray had i formed bim that they had delivered 3,325 pounds of paper at the Kellom school. ““There are avout 220 squares of floor sur- face in the Kellom bullding,” said the super- intendent, “‘and it requires about fourteen pounds of paper to the square. You can see by a very littie figuring that 8,25 pouuds of paper would be enough to cover every foot ID!( floor surface and there would be some oft."

QUESTION OF LABORERS' PAY FIXED Two Dollars Per Day Will Cluss of City e Given That Employe Ap- & Confir Minor Matters Ad Soma Muny sted, The city council took another turn at the Union Pacitic Railway company last night No portion of the railway company was pres- ent to witness the twisting procoss. Mr. Elsasser was tho first man to place violent hands upon the corporation, and as lie stood up to introduce an ordinance he stated that he was not taiking through his hat. His object was simply for the purpose of giving the people somo benefits to ropay them for the inconveniences that they had exporiencod, The ordinance provided for the crection of two viaducts over the Union Pacific and the Burlington tracks, one to be built along the line of Fifteontli and the other along the line of Sixteenth street. Theordinance declares ghat the building of the viaduets is neces sary for the safety and protection of the public. They shall be eighty feet wide with a roadway sixty feet wide and ton feet on each side of the roadways shall bo used as walks for footmen. The Sixteenth street viaduct shall have the same terminal poiuts as the present structure, but for the purposo of dutermining the height, length and general character of the viaduct and approaches, the material to be used and tho exact location, the city engineer is heroby ordored and dirccted to maio all necessary surveys for such purposes and to submit to the Board of Public Works and_the mayor such pluns, drawings and details, together with such specifications as may be necessary for such purpose. Tae ordinance providing for the construc- tion of the Fiftcenth street viaduct contains the same conditions and both provide that the expeuscs incurred by their construction shall be borne by the two railroad com panies. The ordinance went viaducts and railwaze, As soon as Mr. Klsa: Monroe introduced this was ndopted: Resolved, That the elty attc requested to draw nn ord [ the construction of un Iron and steel viaduct in the place of the wooden one at prese Sixteenth street over tho Union Pacific Burlington tracks. Sald viaduct to be eighty o de, und that the cost thereHf be paid by therailway npaniesoperating linesof tracis thereunder. The cost of sald viaduct to be proportioned to each compuny as the council and mayor may direct. The memoers of the council declared that Elsusser’s ordinance and Monroe's resolution would catch the railroad companies both going and_coming, after which the regular business of the session was considered. What Do Laborers Get? The solary ordinance came up with an amendment to allow laborers §2 per day aud men with teams £3.50 per day, Mr. Chaffee said that he favored allowing the laborers $1.75 per day. ‘Tnoro were 1,000 men in the city who would jump at the chance of getting $1.75 for an eight-hour day. The poor men who owned little homes wero the men who were paying the bulk of the taxes in proportion to what they owned. Mr. Conway did not believe in cutting the laborers to §1.75 from $2 per day. Mr. Mmonroe was in favor of reform, but he saia that he would not vote to cut the sularies of the laboring men. If other cor- porations wanted to erind down the laboring classes they could do so, but the city of Omaha could not afford to set an example. Mr. Steel stated that under the old rule there were a lot of pensioners hang around the street commissioner’s office. Mr. Lowry arose to a question of privilege. The remark was an iosult to all of the old members of tae council. Mr. Prince did not think that the city de. manded vetrenchment by taking the bread out of the mouths of the laboring men. Mr. Steel replied that the men worked on the streets but eight hours per day, and that for the time they worked §1.75 per day was #ood wages. Mr. Cnaffee knew that it was popular to vote for $2 per day. but be did not proposo to vote for popularity. Mr. Specht spoke in favorof $2 a day. Men at 2 per day could 1ot earn more than 10 per month, as they could not average more than twenty days per month during the working season. Mr. Lowry declared that he would not go back on the laboring men. Mr. Bruner believed the laborers should have at loast $2 per day. Men who worked upon the streets were poor men and if they wero too _poorly paia their children would have to be taken from the public schools. They would be ground into the earth to such an oxtent that it would be impossible to be honest. He thought if thera was to be a cut it should be in the oftices. There the men wero paid fancy prices and did not have to putin as long hours as the men upon the streets. Two Sides to the Question, Mr. Eawards thought there were two sides to the question. It was of more benefit to the laboring men to reduce the salary of the few who would be employed by the street com- missioner then to hold wages up at §2 ver day. To ullow thewm $1.75 per day would give more men employment, and employment was what the laborers wanted. Mr. Steel thought to bo a good deputy placed tho man in tho professional line where £00d salarios wero puld. Mr. Blsasser had scen men employed by to the committee on er sat down, Mr. resolution, which | tho exception of the piastering he work was | prog the strect commissioner. Thoy never wero able to work more than twenty days during the month andoven at § perday there was notblog more than a bare living in work- ing upon the streets, Mr. McLoario took the staud that lavor was worth 1tsmarkoet valup, Mon in other linos of emplovment worked for less than §2 per day aua ihere was no reason why the city should pay more than the market valuo for any commodity. Mr. Bechel insisted that the reform was started at thewrong cod. The clorks in the nployment of the city were paid from 15 to per cout more than 1n other oftices in the Ly, Mr. Prince said that private ofiice clerks waorn sure of their positions for years, whilo with the city they were usually thrown out after tho expiration of two years, The ameudment was adoptad, Chaffee, Edwards, McLoarie, Davis voting *No,” and as ordiwance passed. Some Routine Matters, ‘The ordinance to impose an annual license of $200 upon produce dealers engaged in the retall busiuess died an easy and early death, as it was consigned to the files. Phe protest of Thomas Murray against permanent sidewalks along his property on Harney was placed on file. 13y resolution the Metropolitan Street Lighting company was given ten days within which to commerice the work of sotting its gasoline lamps in accordanca with the terms of its contract with thecity. Should nothing be done at the expiration of that time, then the city attorney will be iustrugted to begin sult against the company’s boudsmen, Chairman Birkbauser of the Board of Pub. lic Works named John E. Bonowitz for the position of sidewalk inspector. Mr. Steel moved that the appolnsment lay upon the table. « The ruil was called and the motion to table was lost. The appointment was contirmed by a vote of 15 to 1. 'he Board of Public Works submitwed a list of streets that & communication stated should be pavea this year aud asked tuat an ordinauce creating the necessary improve- ments bo prepared. The matter was referred to Iih'! comimitteo on paving, curbing and gut- tering. The contract of Joun Jensen for making sewer repairs guring the year was re ferred. The coutract of J. E.

The contivmation of Boason went over ono weex, while tio appolntment of Lentz was rejected. The appointment of Albright was confirmed Mr. Steel moved that tho appointment of W, R Johuson suporintendent, and A. C. Litchenberger inspector of plumbing boe contirmed, Mr. Chaffee stated that after a thorough examination it had been ascertained that Johnson was in no way connected with Freo 1o any city contracts, Mr. Edsasser replied by saying that shop ownsrs should not be appointed, but that some competent journeyman plumber should be appointed to the position Both appointments were confirmed. J. H. Dumont filed a letter asking that his warrant for services as street commissioner o cancelled and the money turned into the ity treasury. He did not waut the offise, nd had rendered but little scrvico for the benefit of the city during the time that ho hela the positien. Mr. Dumont's request was granted.

THE RIO GRANDE FLEA. & bldg Judge Gas) 's Some Facts About and His Windy “Revolution,” Ciry or Mexico, Méx,, Feb, 6.—On my way to the capital of Mexico [ stopped off along the route and often took in branch roads, visiting such places in Toxas and the republic as I desired. 1 here took particular pains to find out about Garza aud his so- called rebeliion. I can assure you it is the geatest fake I have heard of. On and along the border in Texas and Mexico it is treated as a grand cad and is never mentioned uniess in commenting on tho fabrications published in northern papers. I have been in the places where Garza has lived and talked with candid and unbiased Americans and Mexicaus who know Garza personally and were conversuat with his life and history from childhood. Garza was born on a small ranch in Mexico near Matamoras, where his mother now sides. Ho attended public school in Mata- moras, entered a grocery store as clerk at tho age of 15, coming to Brownsville, Tex.,when 20. He clerked in a store there for several years, when, bo went into business for him- self which he continued for some two years, during which time he married an excellent yeung lady. He then went into the sewing machine business as agent aud moved to Corpus Christi, Tex,, got into a difficulty about money matters with his employes and quit. He was next heard of as editor of a newspaper. He left bis wife and oue child at Corpus Christi and some two years ngo obtainea a divorce and married another woman residing in Duval county, Texas, whose father is reputed rich, He moved his paper to Duval county and com- meuced bitter denunciations and attacks upon the Mexican goverument, and espe- cially upon the Mexican governors of Leon and Coahuila. He especially espoused the cause of the Mexican residents north of the Rio Grande and did all in his power to preju- dice the Mexicans against the Americans and to create discord and animosity. The course ho pursued gave him greatinfluence with the Mexican residents of Texas. In the fali of ne turned up in Star county, Texas, as- sisting in fomeating trouble there. His bit- ter attacks on all who did not coincide with him aud endorse his course brought on an encounter with an inspector of customs whom he had outrageously abused and vili- tied 1n his papor. Gurza was shot, and for a considerable time 1t was doubtful whether hie would recover. This quieted him down until a few months ago. Then commenced the troubles on the border, which have becn maguified into a rebeliion. Garza has no property, money or friends of any character or influenco to back him. am told a lot of Mexicao horse and cattle thieves, criminals, cutthroats and despera- does, smugelers and refugees from Mexico who have fled across the border to the United States are nis congenial spirits on the American sido and to theexteat of a fow hun- dred rallied around Garza for a short time, but dissolved into their own original ele- ments, aud flod 28 soon as tho Mexivan aud Amerioan soldiers got after them, and it is thought the fiasco js at an end. Tho exageerated reports of this farce have prevented travel and the inyestment of capi tal from the United States. I have had nuinereus conversations with gentlomen who are in a position to know, and especially with an American gentleman who has resided here constantly for over twenty years, aad it'fs the opinion of ail that the Moxican governtient was neverso strong asnow. It is predieted that Diaz will be prosident as long s he lives, and that be is Just the man to run this government and con- trol this people.

FOR THE ROADS' REASONS REFUSAL Consent of Allthe Lines Tnte West S ested East and 110 e Necossary 1o Speh Lin an Arrangement oin Lixcowy, Neb., Fob, 15—|Special to Tare Bee, |1t is & generally accopied fact hore in Liucoln that the Omaha grain merchants are doomed to disappointment in their efforts to securo milling-in-transit rates. The efforts of the State Board of Transportation to se curo the desired concessions have boon en- tirely fruitloss, at least so far as tho results already apparent aro concerned. Tio first request of the board preferred tast Novembver hardly an- swered by tho railroad manager: A second request madoe early in tho present mouth has been more successful in eliciting replies, but for all_the concessions that have been made the gentlemanly managers micht as well bave saved their pos A letter was received today from General Maaager Burt of the Fremout, Hikhorn & Missoury Valley railroad, but it gave the mombers of tho board no more satisfaction than the re plies that have heretoforo veen received from other managers. u his letter Manager Burt was s the question of establishing ‘sioppage’ privileges at the Missouri river on interstate grain shipments is one which largely cou- Corns the lnes east of the Missouri ' river, your let of November 24 was referred to those lines for cousideration and such sug- gostions as they might deem proper to make, Lam informed that an Omaha committe having the matter in charze hnd a conference withi thoso lines i regard to it but [ am not advised as to what conclusion, if any, was reached thercat. However desirable or nec- eSSAry sUch Arrangenient may appear to be in the interests of the Nebraska dealers or pro. ducers, 1t must_bo clearly apparent to tho board that the Nubraska railronds of them- selyes have not the powerto bring it about and that 1t can only bo accomplished by the consent aud co-operation of all the lines in tevestod, cast as well as west of the river. Tho question of nterfering with the con tinuous transit of interstate grain shipments is & more serious one_than on the surface it would appear to be. From our standpomt it soems 1o be surrounded with serious diffi- culties, and from whatever standpoint it may be viewed it uppears to be of sufficient - portance at least to demand the most careful consideration and mature deliveration on the part of vour honorable body." Representative Gale Talks. Ropresetative Galo of Rock county was at tho state houss today, haviug remaned over from tho demonstration of yesterday. To a Bue representative he talked quite freely of the political situation as it bus been affected by the reinstatement of Governor Boyd. He said he believed a combination bad been ef- fected botween the leaders of the democratic and independent partics, but was positive that tho rank and file of the independent party of the state would repudiato tho bar- gain. *The radical leaders of tho indepond- tparty,” said he, “are desporate. 'The, zust do something or “orever lose their pres- tige amoug the people. They have deter- miced upon a combination with the demo cratic party, but it won’t work. The masses of the independent voters will not be led into the democratic party by any such urrange ment."” Referring to an extra session ho said: ~ “1 beileve there will be an extra session of the legislature. ‘I'he independents will be sphit irto two factions over the railroad auestion. Some of the members—those who honestiy represent the rauk and tile of the party—wiil be williug to aeree to a railroad bill that will be fuir and equitable to all interests of tho Tho radicals who are bent on a rule or ruin policy wiil iusist upon the Newberry bill, which can never be passed.” tepresentative Gale did not hesitate to ox- his conviction thut the independent :ngth is waning in Nebraska, ssip at State Ho ¢s Wobster and [stabrook wero today notified by Attorngy General Hastings that’ the question of the jurisdiction of the Nebraska supremo court i the matter of ap- pointing receivers for banks under the bank- ing act of 1557 wouid be argued before the supreme court next Tuesaay.
