i 'y DEFENDED HIS PET MEASURE Btrong Arguments of Senator Paddock in the Interest of Pure Food. WHY THE BILL SHOULD BE PASSED tions Demanding Tts Read in the Sen- ate Chamber—All Classes Interestod In the Proposed Legislation, 518 FounTEENTH STRERT, WasniNatoy, 1. C., Marchi 4. The floor of the senate was occupied for two hours this afternoon by Senator Paddock in an elaborate defenso of his anti-adultera- tion or pure food bill. Senator Paddock took up carefully one by one the objections urged agninst the measure and answered them fully. Ho demolished the arguments of the constitutional cranks by a review of previous logisiation on similar lines. He read letier after lotter from grange and allience organ- izations endorsing the bill anud communica- tion after communication from the most emi- nent experts in the country, who added their commendation to his work oo behall of both producers and consumers. Senator Paddock closed his speech with @ fine peroration, appealing to the senale to rogister the will of the pooplo, He ap- pealed to senators on behalf of puolic health, cn behalf of public morals, in the intorest of the great consuming masses, especially the poor, to eract this bill into a law. He warned the senate that thero ‘would, sooner or later unless the evil was romedied, be an uprising egainst the swindlers and cheats who are now robbing the public with apparent impunity. He called upon the body to take heed that when the people demanded bread it was not given a stone. Seuntor Paddook's speech was listened to with marked attention. May Close the Falr on Sunday, Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota, chair- manof the senate select committeo on the |quad.o-ceutennial exposition, is opposed 1o ropeni. g theWorld's fair on Sunday. Of course it is w thin the bounds of probability that con- gress 1 \ay decide on the afirmative side, but the pos \mm.y is by no means o probability. Wasnixarox Bureiv or T Bee, % Sena) \r Pettigrew says: “This isa Chris- tian nat bn and so long as it romains so the sanctity % the Sabbath must be preserved. When wi legislate in opposition to one of the commandmeuts our title to Christianity will bo difficult of maintenance. It 1s urged that an opportunity should be given the laboring men to visitthe fair. That argument must apply to the laboring men of Chicago. They are members of organizations so strong that no establishment would refuse a request to grant its employes a holiday on which the great exposition might ba visited. The eco- nomical poini of view must not be over- looked sinice the issue has been raised and the quostion debated. I am satisfied that moro neople, two to one. will stay away from the fair if it is o‘)oned on Sunday than the additional people who would attend on Sun- day only. Booming Boies for President. Today Representative Walter Hayes re- turned from Iowa. This evening he said: *'T am pmu‘y oertuin that there will be a solid Boles delegation to the Chicago convention, and as far us I oan learn from republicans they will send Harrison delegates to Minne- apolis. I don’t think there is much prospect of the passage of the Gatch bill.

Tt laces tou many restrictions around tho lquor dealer and will not accomplish any @ood purpose. The bond required is too high. Noone butarich man could engage in the business. it the rafiic is %o be legalized at all I do not ses why it should not be put on a legal fooung with other business. I favor just enough license fee to insure the paymont of police expenses i looking after the proper enforcemont of the laws. The Gatch bill wonla result, in my judrment, in preventing the ssleof liquor under the license system because it would prevent men from going into tne business owing to the financial exactions and restric- tions which it establishes. Charitable Mr. Hill Exposed. The adhorents of Senator Hill are disposed o make a politfcal point in his favor becauso of his action in drawing his_pay as senator only from January 7, 1802, the day when ho 100k tho onth of office, up to the end of last movth. This loft standing *o _his credit on the buoks of the disbuvsing clerk of the sen- ate $4,221, his pay and mileage from March 4, 1801,during the period he was serving as . governor of New York at a salary of $10,000 a yoar. The friends of Senator Hill are trying o oreato the impression that his failure to draw this back salary as senator will re- sult ia the balance to his ocredit being turned into the United States treasury. This is aun utterly faise pretense, First Comptroiler Matthews of the treasury said today that the bslanco undrawn of $4,221, now on the books of the senate to the credit of Mr. Hill would remain there to his credit snd that in no way could it be turned into the treasury by Senator Hill’s mere failure to draw it. Mr. Hill could av any time draw this money or after his death his heirs could have an indisputable claim npon the United States troasury for tha’, amount. This sim- plo statement from Comptroller Matthews thoroughly exposes tho false protenses of self-denial on the part of Senator Hill, Miscellaneous, Today Senator Manderson presented in the senato a protost from Commodore Porter post No. 48, Grand Army of the Republic, de- partuent of Nebraska, against the passage of the free coinage bill, Senator Faddock presented a petition from the Nebraska City Board of Trade urging the passage of the bill providing for the re- classification of the railway mail service and an increase in tho salary of the postal clerks.

DUN'S REVIEW OF THE WEEK Domestio Trade Gradually Improving and Taking on a Healthier Look. SPRING'S BUSINESS OF GOOD PROMISE an In. rywhere enring tries § o8t of the Large Ind croasing Activity, an Favorable Reports Come—f o from ¥ House state New York, March 4.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of T'rade says: Domestio trade gradually improves, even at the south, where much of the troubles have been due to unwillingnoess of holders to sell cotton at low prices, rather than to actual loss in such salos. Supplies of money are everywhere ample. Tt is still the fact that the two dark spots are directly caused by overproduction. Cot- ton reccipts this week have been light. Efforts to curtail the production this year appear to meet with some success. The only possible remedy for the troubls in the iron trade is to be applied, according to dispatches, by the closing of some of the furances, Current prices are called about the lowest on record. The rail combination still waits for buyers. The troubie in this industry is that too great and sudden ex- pausion was expected. Copper is unchanged, tin weak and lead moderately active. The coal market continues nncertain, as tho com- bination is not ready to mct. but agents recommend an output ot only 2,500,000 tons in March. A better situation appears in toxtile manu- factures, for cotton mills are well employed and trade in cotton woods 1mproves all over the country, even at the south. In woolen mills and in sales of wool decided improve- ment is seen. Wool i lower, as holders grow anxious to sell before a new clip comes. The spring trade in dress goods closes in good shape, while in men’s woolens the right fabrics and colors to meot. the taste sell rap- idly. More demund is noted for black chev- iots. In boots and shoes thereis much more activity, though the many buyers ut Boston still act with roserve and shipments aro as yet 7 per cent behind last year's to date. From the Centers of Trade. General trade at Boston has been curtailed by the storn, but increased orders aro seen in nearly all lines, At Philadelphta wholesale trade in ary goods is satisfactory, especially with the west. At Baltimore the grain export trade is the largest ever known. All kinds of iron and steel are weaken- ing at Pittsburg, manufactured and struc- tural being lower with u dull trade,and some puddling mills have closed, but glass s fairly active, Cleveland notes rolled iron active but weak, while improvement is seen 1 hard- ware, groceries and shoes, and the ary gooas trade is good. The spring jobbing trade is fair at Cincin- nati and prospects are good and manufactur- ers more active than usual. Detroit notes fair jobbing trade, some lines exceeding last year's. At Chicago considerable increase over last year is seen in general trade, and roceipts of dressed beef ure four times, of wheat three times, and of flour and oats doublo last year’s, with increase of & third in rye and arloy, a quarter in corn and some 1n cattle and cured meats, but decrease in wool, hogs and sheep. At Milwaukee wheat receipts are 2,000,000 bushels, against 600,000 last year; tho flour output 177,000 barrels, against ,000 last year, and the lumver trade good, with job- bing trade largely boyond last yoor’s, At St. Paul the jobbing trade is 5 to 6 per ceut greater thun a year ago. At Omaha trade 15 quiet, { . At St. Louis trade is hindered by imphssa- ble country roads, though the spring outlook is very encouraging with the rapid move- ment of the corn crop. Kansas City reports increused sales over ast year, Denver a fair trade. Salt Lake reports alight business, with slow collections, In the South, At Memphis trade is improving and alsoat Moutgomery, but at New Orleans tho im- provement is slight; cotton is wenx, rice rather dull, but sugar in good demand. Speculation has not been at all active, and it may be fortunate that gold exports checked the rising fever in season. Whent has dechined balf a cent, with smoll sales, the receipts for half 'the week Dbeing over 2,000,000 busnels, against only 575,000 bushels eéxported. Corn comes forward freely, receipts being 1,800,000 bushels in three days, but exports are hoavy, 1,239,000 bushels in the same time, aud the price higher. Pork products aro a shade lower, but ofl s quieter and coffce lowor. The business failures occurring through- out the country during the past seven days number 240, as compured with 270 last week and 265 for the same weelk last year.

MARCH the only influence|to which attention was vaid in Wall street, Tho beginning of the weelk was marked by & mystery in regard 1o the control of tho Delaware & Hudson''ftoperty, which, it was allogod, was being sdulht for by the Pennsyl vania, the Krie ‘afid the Vanderbilts, Nothing of a definito tinture iranspired, but the rumors sufficed to oreato a sharp advance Delaware & Hudson, with a corresponding demonstration in otNér coal stocks. When this movement slackeed, for want of con firmatory disclosures the' Vanderbilt group of shares daveloped great strength and gave SUPpOrt to the genersl market. Furnishell n Sensation On Wednesday and Thursday, New York & New England furnished a sensation in the form of a report that tho road had passed under the control of the Vanderbilts, or an interest closely connected with them, on which the stock 10se nearly ten points, only to aecline straightaway wlien the al- legad facts wore dented and the ‘street dis- covered that some one had used its credulity to unload.” Friday brought increased gold shipments but this was met by reports that what is called a “melon” was to be ‘‘cut’” on the Lake Shore in the shape of a scrip dividend, and a sharp rise in that stock, with similar demonstrations in the Vanderbilts ana allied stocks again gave a strong tone to the trad- ing and checked bearish demonstrations, The speculation was professional from top to bottom, manipulation was painfully ap- parent and the movement of prices was 1ar from being general, but was strictly confined 10 the different groups as thoy were success- fully taken in hand. The public does not seem to Lave come in on the excitement. The aet results of the week seem to prove that the great coal deal had spared the spec- ulative public. Current Manifestatio The belief that current manifestations are the outcroppings of definite plans of the greatest importance to the railroad and financial worlds continues to dominate the market. ‘I'ne strength of these influences is exhibited by the strikingly small effects of the continuance of gold ship- ments, The fact that London has appar- ently suspended its bulling of our socurities may, however, be regarded as an element in tho indifference with which the further de- cline of specie was anparently regarded. Exchango has declined until selling rates are almost 1 cent per povid, a lower figure than gold could normally be exported at a profit. WA ol Dr. Birney cures catarrh. BEE bldg PRESS CLUB BENEFIT. © Listens to the Great Amer- ean Recitationists, The Press club benefit at the (irand opera house last evening was in every vespecta handsome success. Messrs, “Bill” Nye and A. P. Burbank were in their happiest mood, and they faced a large and appreciative audi- ence that was in a responsive humor and keenly alert to catch and enjoy every lightest vlay of fancy or turn of conceit. The clever amusement caterers provided their guests with a feast of good things to tickle tho pulate; of intellectual epicures, and seldom have two artists of their kind won heartier or moro nearly continuous demonstrations of delight and approvai, _Mr. Nye's writiugs have of course made him an’ interesting character wherever he may go, but repeated*visits to Omata have maie his a familiar face und figure, and many bere have acquired a:warm personal intoreat n bim and nis worl, In last night's enter- tainment tie gave a sories of monologues, as is his custom, and ‘every appearance con- vulsed the audience, \hich insisted on sev- cral encores. 1t is‘quite immaterial what his subjects were.» His talks had all the auaint, droll, satirical and ludicrous flavor of Nveism, and ho playea upon the sensibili- ties of his auditars with an artful touch that stirred their tancies and caused them to overflow in npmin% smiles, which gathered and grow and swept over the house in great waves of laughter and applause, In Mr. Burbank the, inimitable humorist has an succassful ally. ave an undisguisablo masculive auality, but be is wise evough to select subjects withit their limitations. The versatility of his mimetic powers wus dis- playea in a number of dialect character reci- tations, and his imitation of Mr. Joseph Jel- ferson in “hip Van Winkle” was pariicu- larly appreciated. Mr. Burbank’s readings were humorous, sontimental and heroic. Their rendition was admirable, and tho reader won quite as 1ouch of the applause as his colleague.

DARRELL Ono of MoOord, Brady & Oo.'s Trusted Ac- countants a Fugitive from Justice. FLIGHT AFTER BEING SHOWN MERCY He Had “Doctored” His Books and Spent Other People’s Money—( to Settle He Secks Safety in Absence, When the clerks and bookkeepers in Me- Cord & Brady's wholesale grocery house commenced work on last Monday morning one desk, which had been occupied steadily for ten years by H. J. Darrell, was vacant. The employes of the offics paid no atten - tion to tne absence of their associate, and started about their usual autios, suposing that Darrell had been detainel by illuess To the members of the firm, however, the absenco of their trusted bookkeeper had a deep significance. A little quiet hustling on the firm's part resulted in the discovery that Darrell had suddanly left the city on the pre- ceding Saturday night and that there was no immediate prospect of his return. T'hen the books were looked into and somo startling disclosures made. It was found that besides some financial troubles already known to the firm Darrell had doctored his books and managed to wet away with quite a sum of cash. He Jugglod Two Sots of Books, Darrell was a well known young man about town und of late had been traveling a little fast. For about a year and a half he had been secretary of the Klks lodgo and club. When the club disbanded on February 1 a board of three trustoes was appointed to set- tle up tho affairs of the concern. Whan the trustees took hold it didn't take them very long to find out that Mr. Darrell was short in his accounts to the tune of about £400. As the committee went deepor into tho books the amount grew larger, and a peremptory demand was made on Darrell by the trustees for an immediate settlement. ~This the sec- retacy could not give, and while admitting his shortage bromised to fix the matter. It happened that the Elks club was in- debted to McCord, Brady & Co. fora counsid- erable amount. This Darrell thought was rather fortunate for him, so it isstated he agroed to cancel the bill of hs firm to square himself with the club and a Iittle expert figare juggling ol the books was done, This fact becawe known, however, to the proprietors and in a private conversation with Darrell he was given thirty days in whien to find otheremployment. The notice was given only a day ov two bofore he dis- appeared, and 1t was on this account that the books were overhauled immediately when Darrell failed to show up on Monday morn- ing. - On the night he left town two fraudulent checks, one for §) and the other for $25, were passed by the scheming bookkeeper and then he took a fast train eastwavd. ‘When last heard from he was in St. Louis. Followed by a Bad Darrell has quito s history, and, by tho way, Darrell isn't his real name. Somo twelve or fourteen years ago he came to Omaha and applied for & position in Steele, Johnson & Co.’s office. Ho was a promising looking young man, but could not give any referonces in this country, as he had only recently left England. ~ Somo English ref- erences were furnished and he was put to work. In the course of two or threo woeks the firm wrote to England inquiring about Darrell and reccieved a couple of very flat- toring recommendations. A letter was also sent to the postmaster of the English village aud his reply more than surprised the mem- bors of tho firm, who had already began to like their new clerky’ "This letter, gave 8 minute description of bim, but stated that he was not known there by that name, but another, which was given. Going fully'into the matter, the postmaster gave a lengthy history of the young man, which reflected anything but credit upon him, as his life seemed to have been made up of crooked transactions. Furthermore, tho writer stated that Dacrell was o defaulter and bad been compelled to tly to a foreizn land in order to escape a prison and punishe ment. ame. Was Liked and Trusted Here, Shortly after the receipt of this last letter Darrell was bidden to the house of one of the members of the firm, He went and his em- ployer addressed him by bis English name. The young bookkeeper was completely sur- prised and stunued. After a moment’s hesi - tation he broke aown and confessed that the postmaster in his old English homo had told the truth. He said that if given another trial he would brace up and leau an honest lite. He was aliowed to remain for a time, but after that none of the company’s cash was allowed to pass through his hands. After a time Darrell left the employ of Steele, Johnson & Co, and commenced work at a desk in McCord & Brady's house. Things went along all right for a time and Darrell was promoted rapidly.
