Frank Pivonka was given leave to move his wooden buildings at Twenty-sixth and N streets in order to erect a brick block on the sito. A petition for a now stove in the city jail ‘was referred, A communication was read from Captain O'Hara, who was dismisscd from the polico force by the mayor. Mr. O’tiara said that he had been discharged without reason, and that his salary was behind 300, He smad tbat ho would nct deliver up his star until that was paid. Mr. Rowley arose to ask tho mayor for what reason O'Hara was dismissed. “Tho charter gives e power to discharge an ofticer at my discretion,” replied Mayor Sloane. h Mr. Rowley then gave vent to something that has been rankling in the hearts of a cer- tain number of loyal democrats since the recent primaries, “I understand that you had the polico out eloctioneering Friday.” “I huve instructed all the police not to take any part whatover in cloctiont.” “It has come to a pretty pass when the mayor himself is out peddling tickets." “Yes, sir, as I have a right to do as a free American citizen,” repliad Mayor Sloane with some warmth, After some addicienal verbal sparring Mr. Rowley movod that the reasons of Mr. O'Hara's dismissal be investigated by the council, T I tell you, gentlomen, right now,” said Mayor Sioaue, *‘that man is discharged and this council nas nothing to do with it."" “1 know what was the matter O’Hara, retorted the alderman from the Third ward. “He wouldn’t work the way you wanted him to at the elccti Tho matter was dropped fically after tho city treasurer had boen instructed to pay Mr. ©O'Hara the balance Gue him.

The afidaxit of N. P. Feil, busi- ness manacer of Tue Bre, was read. It stated that the average circulation of Tue Evexiye Bee in Douglas county during the preceding six months, exclusive of sample copies, was 9,010 copiés. That THE MORN 1NG Bee during the same period was 3,402, The World-Herald bad not filed an aflidavi as requested by the council, E. O. Mayfield, representing the World- Herald, inquired whether the council had power 1o dictate in what paper the advertise- ments shiould de published. He said that his paper was ready to give a committeo nccess to its books and mquired whether Tie Beg would do the same. Hon. E. W. Simeral, who represented Tue Bek, said that the law did not give the coun- cil the right to'dictate in what paper the ud- vertisemonts should be published, but it did provide that they should be publisned in the paper having the largest circulation in Dou: as county, and that was tho question which ‘was for the council to decide. cited deccisions of the supreme court that the morning aund evening ed tions of & newspaper were two Sepa- rate papors. The World-Ferald persisted in offering aMidavits combining the circulu- tions of both editions. "Their scheme was one of procrustination, Mr. Hitchcock had saia before the council on & previous occasion that he would protect saloonkeepers who should Publlih their notices in the World-Herald. Then when it was found that the notices so nublished were not legal he said 1n an Omaha saloon that he would drop the whole matter, and 1f the saloonkecpers wanted to fight it out they must do it at their own expense. ‘I'bat was the way he protected the saloon- kucsu‘rs. *“This matter must be decided,” continued Mr. Simeral, ‘“‘or the same trouble that ox- isted last year will berepeated. Yougaveeach of the papers notice to file afidavits showing the circulation of both their morning and evening editions before the council last Mon- day night. Tue Beg did so, but the World- Herald failed to furnish the circulations of the two editions separately as you requested, and as the law requires, You gave them an. other chance and they have not done it. Why? Because they cannot. 1f the World- Herald was acting in good faith wouid it not have it afidavit here tocight! Isit gomng to play fast and loose with this councili That 18 oxactly what it is trving to do." In referonce to the proposition of the World-Herald ropresentative that a council- manic committee be allowed to examine the books of the two papers and determine for themselves which had the largest circultion, Mr. Simeral asked if the World-Herald would agree to have the committes uccom- panied by a represeatauve of each of the papers who was familiar with newspaper ac- counts to seo that vo misrepresentations wero attempted. This was c\sled by the World-Herald representative, and when the uestion was pressed he fiually admitted that his paper would not consent to that ar- rangement. ‘I'no matter was finally roferred to thecom- mittee on printing, who will report at the meeting next Monaay night.

Sullivan's Mouth Is Still In Excellent Run- ning Order. Cnicaco, I, March 21 aid Champion Sullivan at the Auditorium: “Of course 1'lt sign a guaranty of good faith.” Mr. Sullivan referred to the agreement proposed by the Olympie ciub of New Or- loans rogulating the affair between him and Mr. Corbett which the club will witness September 7. The Olympic demanded the right of naming the roforee, providing time- keepers of its own and asking that $2,500 deposit be placed in its hands by both men. “I's only right,” continued Suilivan, “that I should give them to understand that 1 am in earnest and want todo the right thing with them one and all. iStill this man [the champion did not bouor Corbett by saying his namo) this man could get out of ‘it even at that by felgning sickness or saying that ho had a bad lung or a bad ankle, 1 don't think much of him. Tho fellow is lookiug for one of those dude jobs of teaching spar- ring in a New York athletic ciud at §1,700 a your. Thut's his business.” Jobn said that after the fight—that is if Corbett had the courage to face him—that he would never enter the ving again, Would he go on thoe stage nltogether! Well, he did not know. He was a trifls old to begin to study tho drama seriously, Collier haa been after him to study gladiator parts and ho thought well of it at one time, but now he believed he would go into the gymnasium business after a couple years more of melo drama. Another Pull Promised. Jack Prince has returned from New York for the express purpose of putting on an international tug-of-war. Last Novembor Priuce promised the different captains of tho teams he organized for the coliseura tug, that he would assume the management and get up a big struggle for this city in April. He is here simply to make his word good. Had he not entered into this agreement he would bave sailed for England last \Wednesday with the professional bykers. ‘The tug that Prince now has under way will embrace many changes over the former oveut under his management. In the first place, tae teams, instead of ten men, will con- tain but five, and the pull will be limited to thirty minutes to each heat. This, he says, creates much more oxcitement than the unlimited puil, as the speculators, as well as the contestants, are all aware when the end will come. This makes a tremendous final struggle and causes the most intense excite- ment. ‘I'ho gracd tug will commence Mon- day eveniog, April 18, and continue every night througlout the week.

OMAHA | THE RAISER WILLIAM VERY SICK | Gormany's Young Emperor is fuffering Intensely at the Ohateau Hubertus. PRINCE HENRY SUMMONED HURRIEDLY | His Mother Calls Him Home from stadt and Sends Him to Join Father—Berlin People Greatly Worried, Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennett.) Pamis, Mare ew York Herald Cal —Special to The situation Germary is still ominous, and continues be the subject of conversation of the circles of urope. [Even the foreign i in ) official minis- ters at Berlin do not know whon the emperor will return from the Chateau Hubortus, It was said on Saturday thatin accordance with his physician’s advice he would remain theve till the end of tho month, but at noon today it was announced that he would re- turn next Wednesday. Meanwhile it is said that Caprivi has been summonued to the Chateau Hubertus, Tam told on unquestionablo authority that in spite of all statements to the contrary, the omperor is really very 1l He s suffering, not from catarrh, but from an abscess in his ear, the worst which he has ever had. For tho past twonty-four hours the physicians have been very uncasy, and have prescribed for him the most absolute reposo. What Does “Cerebral Mean? In reply to a dispatch from Queen Victoria the Prussian court has explained that such Tenoso was necessary on Account of ‘‘very intense cerebral audenia, followed by pain.” It can readily be understood that the word ‘corebral” has given rise to iany com- ments. In London, and even in Berlin, there is much talk about cerobral troubles, but my impression is that the stories are much oxaggerated. It is true that Prince Henry was summoned from Darmstadt by a dispatch from the empress, and after a two hours' interview with her, ho startad for tho chateau Huber- tus. As he was starting, however, he said to somo one: “Thank (iod, the caseis not as serious as I fearea,” Sull it is certain that the action of A sov- ereign like William in leaving his capital for eight days in the middle of a political crisis, wives good ground for people to say that he is not well balanced. 1t is well unaerstood that in the case of anv new political crisis no one knows whether Caprivi will remain at tho head of affairs or not. Certainiy no one believes that loi scolaire was the sole cause of the crisis, Its Eifect Disagreeable, I may add that in London and Vienna the resignation of Caprivi has produced a dis- agreeable effcct aud has caused more un- easiness even than in Pa There has been, I do not know why, considerable tete- graphic corresponaence between the foreign office and tue British embassy in Berlin. In London people believe that the entire politi- cal world of Germany is bent on adopting a western policy. In Vienna peoplo aro rest- less. The czechs will profit by the recent in- cidents in Borlin and will causo new aunoy- ances to the government. GRATEFUL RUSSIANS, Amerlea’s Feted at Libpu, Linavu, March 20 —At a dejuner today an illuminated address was ppesented to the Amoricans, bearing the Russian and Amer- icans arms and two clasped hands. M. Balmalkoff, president of tho judges of peace, in welcoming the Americans, remariea that Russians esteemed the Indiana gift, not so much on account of its value as on accountof its bemng an expression of brotherly love which America cherisbed. At the banquet last night thero were pros- ent the American consuls, the members of the Philadelphia committee, the officers of the Indiana, Count Bobrinskj, the president of the relief society and all the city authori- ties, Municipal Chief Adolphi presented to Captain Sargent a silver cup inscribed: “In Remombrance of Livay,” with written underneuih: “But the greatest of these is charity In the course of his presentation address M. Adolphi smd: *Our satisfaction must find a special echo because this noble deed emanated from the United States, with which Russia has always stood on terms of Leartiest, friendship.” Consul Crawford replied: *“While the cargo of the I[ndiana, especially, when com- vined with that of the Missouri and thag of a third vessel, will probably be considered by you us no trifling gift, I wish to assure you that the zivers regard this an absolutely in- significant act, which paies into nothingness in comparison with the service rendered thirty years ago by Russia to the union, sending a powerful fieet to our shoves as a standing menace against all efforts of other powers to sully the American flag and tear from her beautiful bauner some of her most brilliant stars.” Mr. Crawford concluded by officially pre- senting the Indiana’s careo to Count Bobrin- skj as the head of vhespecial committee, and expressing wishes for & speedy relief of the distress in Russia, Couut Bobrinskj, speaking in Knglish, said that tho czarowitch was deeply touched by tho humane motives andsentiments ot friend- ship that prompted this noble act, and had charged him to convey to the donors cordial thanks for the token of international brotherly love extended 1o the Russian peo- ple. He concluded by drinking to the pros- perity of l’lliluuelpflm and of the United States, Messrs.

The traditions of this country are such thut it is 1mpossible for the administration of any man to deviate very widely from the established lines; and yet, without 1nstituting any invidious com- parisons; it is possible o point out certain great characteristics by which this adminis- tration has already estavlished its claum to popular regard ana by virtue of which 1t has secured for itself in the first three years of its continuauce an honorable place in Amer- icau bistory. It is a great thing for avy man st any time to 80 preside over the affairs of a nation of over 60,000,000 of peoplo us to challenge the respect and admiration not only of his coun- trymen but of men of all nations who are acqueinted with bis public actions, Among the creditavle characteristis of the present administration we way note the following: Its Ability—The president and his unmed- 1ate associates have sho themselves able to grapple intelligently and strongly with all the great questions = that have presented themselves for administratiy consideration. During the past three years, in ad- dition to the ordinary aetails that claim aitention, there have been very grave matters, such as the Beriug sea question, the New Orleans affair, the Cbilian dimi’ | culty, ete., which have called for extruor- dinary care and ability: aud we think it is not too much to say that in all these cases the administration bus conduoted the affairs of the government in such & way as to com- maud the coufidence and respect of all in- telligent observers. Of courso there are always oppoctunities for criticism and fault- fludin ut we believe it will be conceded that the admiuistration bas everywhere more than saustied the expectatioas of thoughtful men in its method of dealivg with these com- plicated and grave questions. its Eficieucy—Whatever has beeu Jone by | i challenge the cir DAILY BEE: Y tho present admitist well. The pré&Id®ht hus surrounded himself with & body of workers, and a visitor to Washington wBoMas cusiness withi any of the departmorfid Jf buresns 18 AL orce im- pressed with oot that thoso in chargo of thom aro indWious and eMolent in thete discharge of plibi¢ duttes, From the i cent down to vho various erades of clerks thero is an ait 31 industry, of devotion to public duty, 8f¥horourhness in all that is doue, of businéssttke efliciency ; and it is raro TUESDAY, hon has been done to find any ''MAn counccted with any of tho depa¥tufénts who is an idler or inattentivé ito his duties, With each succcodnl yoar, owing to the growth of the’ddfntry, public business of nocessity incredsel, and on the part of thoso who are chargéd With its administration for ability of * #%#th order. Thoso now sponsible for M transaction may fair st scrutiny of their mewh ods and the results of their work. This aaministration bas been called upon to a1sburse un_extraordinarily large sum of money, and we believe that tue method of its distursement will bear critical inspec tion. In the coustruction cf the new navy, the improverments made in rivors and har. bors, the payment of pensiouns, the adminis tration of Tndian affairs, or in whatever ast millions at tho disposal of the ministration have been dishursed, solo ro- gard has been had to the public ser the one great thoughit has baen the work that hins been prosecuted. Its Cleanness ~Ono of the most common remarks which are heara is thoe very signifi- cant ono that this is a ‘‘clean adwinistra tion.” The mon whom the president has solected for high otive ave, as a rule, men of lency in oxalted personul character, possessing i It titness for their respectivo dutios.” It is rave 1o lind anywhere, especially in Wash- mgton, & public man who atcests attention by any dofect of character such us intempe: ance, vulgarity, slovenliness or other off sivo persona) habits, The mon he has gath- ered abouthim represeut the best elements of our national lito. This 13 pre-omineatly true, if wo may particularize, of the juslices of the supremwe court and the judges of the district courts whom he has been catled upon to appoint, men stauding high in their pro- fession, whose appointment bas given well nigh universul satisfaction, It is also true, in general, that the president takes tho utmost possible pains 1n the selection ot mon for high plnces, insisting all the whilo that they shall be the best tuat are obtainablo. Thero have been no scandals connected with the administeadion, no defalcations, Wherever men have been even suspectod of dereliction in duty the atteution of the ad- ministration tas beeo at once arrested, the most_critical iuvestigations have been or- dered, and where found gullty they have been promptly removed. A very ominent man, \ho has been in pub- lic service more thau thirty years, said re- cently that he had never known an adminis- tration which was more fully desorving of the epithet ‘“‘clean.” The president's high personal churacter, his conscientiousness in the discharee of duty, his faithful personal attention to the detals of administration, his unbending integrity, have given the stamp of houor to his whole administration. Its Safety—The people of the country rest in perfect security, with tho full assurance that nothing will bo done by the administra- tion which can 1njure the public neace or interrupt the steady currents of public pros- perity; that it v likely to rush into foreign complications, nor to be drawn into war without the most imperative reasons. In its advocacy of honest money, insisting that every dollur'shall be as good as every other dollar, the “administration has col tributed very lureely to tho financial pro perity which is>cverywhero apparent. It is a matter of sincérécongratulation in & coun- try 50 vast as ourabwnero the personal inter- ests are so extensive and the current of ordinary business 8o vast, that it shall be so governcd as to “Rive reasonable assurance to capital that noact of the government, shall needlessly creatoalarm or interfere with its ordinary operations. Every act of thecadministration, all utter- ances of the prostdent, have tended to pro- moto a reciproval uuderstanding between capital and labor,'dnd bstween all classes nd sections ofithe country leading all of our itizens to feel fuf their interests ave one, and thit, so farasthey are in the keeping of the administration, they are safe, Tts Patriotsm=sThe administration has been conducted2ipan a.high plane of patriot- m. - Tn his speschies through the south and 0st/Lho presidotit screated the, impression everywhere that heis'sinverely and carnestly dovoted to the welfare of the entire counts that be 15 as deeply intevested i in the pros- perity of the south, through a diversification of ite interests, as he is in that of thenorth. In the handling of the delicate inter- national questions the action of the adminis- tration has been such as to unito the people, regaraloss of party counections, in the one common sentizaent of love of countr national pride; and a determiaation “to dicate, if necessary; the national honor and maintan our national standing, The criticism has been made in some quar- ters that the president is lacking in party spirit; tnat he is indifferent to the success of the purty to which he owes bis elevation to his bigh place. But we believe that whatever may . be chargeable to him 1n this respect is fully accounted for by the fact, which is greatly to his credit, that he thinks more of country than he does of party, believing that he serves his party best who serves his country best. ldven in his strong advocacy of mensures for the pro- tection of the ballot in the south, he placed the matter on so bigh a plane of common welfare, and hfted it so far out of mere party consideratiops as to command the re- spect even of thoso who are mosst violently opposed to auy such logislation, T'he admin- istration is national, actuated throughout by the loftiest patriotism. Able, efficient, clean, safeand patriotic, the administration of President Harrison chal lenges comparison with any that have pre ceded it. - JUST A TRIFLE TOO KNOWING.

To bull stocks at so uncertain a sedson of the year ns March, whon, as yester- day, the weather is such that on one side of tho streot it is freezing hard and on the other it is steaming hot, is taking Iarge risks from natural causes, and, besides thore is the pending sitver bill. At such a time the speculator might be moro in clined to try the short sido of the market for A while, but against this thoro is the fact, obvious to n very intelligent observer of the that there is no pressure of stocks sale. At the prices rocently made it ap- pears as it nolders wero content to hold on to what they bave, in the confident expecta- tion that thns will be a bull year, 1n certain spots evidence appears that stock is being marketed, as in sugar, for examplo, where new buyers are sought for the $25,000,- 000 of freshly issued shares, which, it is rumored in the stroet, have been taken by insiders at n prico considerably below pres ent quotations. Some holders of Roeading have unlonded and depressed the price two or throe points. Take 1t all around, however, the only real bear feature of the market is the auliness, Dulluess is generally favorablo to de- pression, temporarily at loast, as traders got tired and drop their stocks in disgust. Keep Your Eye on These. Afhong the new things which will oceupy the attention of tho street when tho market becomes active again is Baltimore & Oktio stook. Preople do not yet realize that the status of this property bus greatly changed. It is no longer a family rairoad terminating at Baltimoro, Control has been transferrea and brondened. The company is expanding, tho road will eventuaily have its main torminus in New York. It is destined to become au eq in the family of seaboard trunk lines iustend of being an outsider of small nc- count. Such growth supplies a cause for broadening specuiation in this stock. In connection with a stock which has al- ready figured largely in speculation—Chicago Gas-it is risking little to say that such hotders of the company who avail them- seives of the privilege to subscribe for the sccurities ot the Indiaoa Natural Gas company, which is to sup- ago with that article, w have no more cause to regrot it than did the p: ople who bought Cnicago Gas stock around 5. It will pay an investor io study some of tho buswess of distributing natural gas and what sort of profits be wade in it. A busmess which back all your investment in three years is a pretty good thing. Richmond Terminal Affairs, If the courso of the Richmond Terminal securities in the market, since the publica- tion of the new plan, should be taken as a measure of public’ opinion on it, then the conclusion must bo that it is not favorabiy reccived, for they have declined badly. Under the circumstances it cannot be so taken. There is no public speculation in the market, which is profoundiy dull, with business confined mainly to the contingent of small professionai traders. Many of these have bought the securities on the theory that there would be a sort of bull flurry in them. When the plan finally ap- peared, they hastened to realize; when it camo out it found no inside support, and of course quotations went off. But the belief is growing that the plan will commend itself 1o the public the better it becomes known. In tho first place if.1s generatly conceded that it is equitable to all interests. Holders of some of the old bonds of the road are aispused to com- plain that they derive no benofit from them, but these bonds are all short, having only u few years to run to maturity, when they would be refunded anyhow at & lower rate of intercst than they now bear. This 15 the only complaint that has been made from any quarter. Another strong ar gument for the plan is that it thorough simplitied the accounts of the system. There will be one mortgage covering it all, bearing 4 per cont intevest, n preferred stock and a common stoci. No lien can be put on the property ahead of the preferred without an assenting voto of the bolders of that stock. “'wo main purposes are soughu to be ef- fected by tho plan—reduction of fixed chargos 1o a limit well within_the earning power of tho proverty and relief of the ex- tinguishment of the floating debt of the various companies in tho system. Ior tho latter parpose there will e raised in round numbars §14,600,000 in cash for which will be given $18,235,000 4 per cent bonds and $0, 000 preferred stock. The subscriptions have been guaranteed by the syundicate, whose names have aiready beon published, But stockholders of the Terminal company and holders of the trust only have the right to subscribe. ‘There 1s no compulsion about it. The securities will be taken anyhow, but stockholders who subscribe will doubtiess find 1t profitable. Some Figu Plan, Of the uew 4 per cent bonds there oan bo no doubt. The security is zood. Tho system 15 already earning more thau enough Lo pay the interest on them. The net ecarmngs for the yeor ending June 30 last were 5,744,000, Four per cent on the §170,000,000 of bonds calls for 6,500,000, but of the whole issuo §10,000,000 will be re- served i the treasury, only 1o be pmd out for the acquirement of nei prop- erty. S0 if tho property should dv no better than it is, in tho way of net earnings, thers would bo enough to~meet all requirements and sceure tho bonds bevond question. Next comes the question of probable re- turns on the preferred stock. Ou the $160,000,000 of bonds to be issued at once, 4 por cont 15 $6,400,000; to which is to bo added for rentais §1,260,000; total, §7.660,000; surplus, £1,08¢.000. To which surplus may be added ®22,000 of income from sury assets, making $1,517,000. Now, if «at be assured that no - benent by way of an increased eficieucy, more economical muanagemert and deveiopment of business, is to accrue to the new comvany as the result of the reorganization, then it would appear that the return to tho preferred stock- holders would be small indeed. But if reasonable expectations be fulfitled, it is cer- tain that the net earnings of the system should increuse cortainly by about §1,000,000, for here we avo figuring on a big systom of sevoral thousand miles of road, whose net carnings ure already $5.750,000. Allowing such an increase, there should be about 3 per cent left over for the $70,000,000 of preferred stock (of whivh $5,000,000 15 reserved in the trensury). This amount may be ducreased or fncreused, according to the weneral pros- perity of the south (now at its lowest stage of dopression) aud the ability of the wanage- ment, Ouly One Thing to Fear. Upon this pownt, it is well to sound & note of warning. The past management has been such as to causo & profound public distrust. The proverty has been worked for Wall street and over the ticker, uot as a railroad doing o legitimate carrying business. Unless this element be thoroughly eliminates from the new company and uniess the public can be couvineed that it is so eliminated, the well-werited distrust will continue and the new securities will sell at prices represont- | gt fhe recont chunges 1n the mauagemout look lige @ start toward a potter state of things.

The result of the intorview of the engi- neers with Superintendent Whyte is kept secret by both men and offoials, but the genoral sunposition is that the enginoors are objecting to carrying ‘'seab” crews of train- men, and if satisfactory men are not put in charge they may also join the strikers, The news of trouble on the Pacitic division did not reach here until this evening, when correspondence by mail shows that a Similar stato of aftairs exists from Donald to Van- couvor as at present in Winnipeg., The con ductors and trainmen of the Pacific division have made practically the same demand as thoso of the western division, but the former had left tho matter in abeyanco pend ing docision. The company, foaring that the trouble on the wostern division would extend 1o the Pacific, required that all conductors be required to say whether or not they wore satisfied with the company’s service, notifi cation being given that those who would not give a pledge of loyalty to thoir employers were to be dismissed from the service. Asa result of this order nearly all tho trainmon on the Pacifio division refused to go to work, and since Tuesday last all trains have been run by superintenden and other offi- cials of the road as conductors and brakoe el Special constables have been sworn In at Vancouver to protect the company’s prop erty. The situation in Winnipag is also moro strained today owiog to the arrival of Chiaf Clark of the order of conductors from Des Moines, Ia. Clark’s arrival has given rise to many rumors, cuiof of which is that he comos with a capital of $150,000, which is to bo exponded, if necessary, in securing a victory for the trainmen. Yestorday's through passengor trains wero from six to ton hours late and ull branch lino trains were cancelled. Tho effect of tho striko is already being felt in business cir- clos, many cars of freight being sidotracked between here and Fort Willinms and east of there.
