THE OMAHA DAalLy BEE e= 'I’W CLEVELAND DON'F LIKE GRAY | e is Not Inclined to Run with Indiana's | Ex-Governor. BOIES CAMPBELL OR PREFERRED Much Trouble Anticipated Second Place on the Demo tional Tieket core Adval in Filling the ratic N ow Speeulators Se. o Informa 3 FOURTEENTH STREET, Wasnisaroyn, D, C., April 10, Leading Cleveland men in Washington say that Mr. Clevoland will have something to say about the “Uleveland and Gray" ticket, which was floated to the wind at Indlauapo- lis yesterday, when the Marion county demo- crats held thelr convention, Mr. Cleveland has confided to Lis friends here that in the event of his nomination he first vrefers as his running mate ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio and secondly Governor Boies of lowa. After that come a number of possibllities, such as Palmer of Iilinois, Vilas of Wiscon sin and Dickinson ot Michigan, but under no circumstances does Mr, Cleveland want Gray. He fecls now as he did in 1884 and 1888, when he said that no ticket having Gray on it could carry Now York or New Jersey on account of the Indiann ex-gov- ernor’s well known know-nothing record. In 1888 the friends of Gray had almost persuaded the party managers to allow the ticket to be Cleveland and Giray, but about threo weeks before the St. Louis convention was hoid Mr, Cleveland put his foot down cmphatically and had Senator Gorman, Con- grossman William L. Scott and a few other loaders literally drag Gray off the vice pros- idential track. Secrecy Was There bas been much criticism of late of the secrecy which was observad by Repre- sentative Hatch of the committee on agricul- ture up to the time of reporting the anti-option bill, but there appeurs to have been good reasons for this so- recy. A number of unscrupulous grain speculators have been trying for months to get lnside information as to what the com- mittee would do, hoping to usc this informa- tion 1n the grain market. The exact plan of operation is disclosed by a letter which Tne Ber correspondent has seen, written by one of the leading grain speculutors of the west to a man in Washington, who was expected to watch tne committeo. The following ure verbatim extracts from the letter: ““There is hardly a question in my mind that thero has been, is now and will always bo considerable money made through the combination of but tyvo dividuals, one located in Washington as you are now, and the other located in some City of good ' size, eithier ast or waest, where access to the lead- ing markets of the country (Chicago or New York) can be had in & few minutes’ time, as 1 am now, Lightning Caleulators Demanded. ““The combination allows of no second class workers, or slow calculators. You are the burecau of information, aud 1 am the financial agent of that bureau. You press tho button, and I dothe rest. Thu Hatch bill or anticoption bill, now under discussion, Is one of consideravle importance to tho grain intorests, and its passuge or defeat will, upon announcement, infinence values considerably one way or the other. By gahdnx this Information in advauce of its oing made public, or by special efforts in wiring mo und requestng the telegraph company to rush it, I might reccive the information_say only'a few minutes beforo it reaches Chicago officially, and could put inmy order and have the same executed before the information reaches the markot, *T need not impress upon you the fact that you must hurry or that you must uso every opportunity or means of getting hold of the rigut parties who may boable to discover the outcome before the vote is actually tuken. or il in committee hands you may be avle to warm up 10 exactly the right party who can Elvn you the proper signal at the proper 1me. g Wasnixaroy Bunreav or tne Bee, } ecessary. Mow to Work the Ncheme, “If the bill passes as it is wheat will broak; if it does not pass the market will advance. This is the feeling uow, and any- thing occurring to change it should bo ad- visod at once, Having special wire scrvice in wy office. I can be reached and can reach the ~market in less than a min ute, and you cen judge how well we can work together with such facilities, 1 have made up the enclosed code which wili expluin itsell. I retain a copy here, and when | wire you, will address it to John Blank, your caro, and vou may sign that fictitions nume when wiring me, We can uso this method, as it does not intorfore with tho dospateh wo require ana acts as a blind to outsiders, When you receive this letter wire me: ‘Birmingham Castle, Poplar Asphalt,’ which meaus: ‘I have your letter, and am’ glving tho matter referred to my closest attention, and will wire developments instantly.’ The'code is made up to apply to tho anti-ontion bilis principally, but 1 am busy on another which will apply to government reports, and about which 1 will write vou later. ‘The latter scheme (government reports) will be by fur the most important. Tho reports are issued each mouth (with one or two exceptions) ut 8 o'clock, eastern standard time, on_the 10th day of each month. Should the 10th fall on Sunday it is then usually given out on tho Oth at 3 p. m.,, eastern standard time, but es 10 the government raport, more later, now for that Hatch option bill.” How it Is Worked In the House, The Hatch committee learned some time ago that speculators were busy endeavoring 10 got such information as the foregoing. The policy of secrecy was therefors deter- mined upon and lived up to, with the great- est caro so far us kuown, although thore ma; have been leaks which cannot bo located. Now that the bill 1s before the houso, there is the eamwe quiet mauwuvering to watch its progre and secure ad- vance information the final vote, It takes thirty minutes for a roll call of the house of representatives, but long before the tally clerks have finished their second call nd their announcement of pairs the actual condition of the vote is well known. It ls expected that the same methods which are outlit:ed in the foregoing will be broaght to play on the roll call ou the Hatch option bill, and that private specalators in every part of the country will be able to procure from five toten miulites advantago of time over the formal announcement of the vote. Western Congressmen Indignant, There is intense indignation in Washington MONg Westorn republican congressmen over the outrageous cutting down of appropria- tions for making surveys of publl‘:) lands, Holman's committee on ‘aporopriations have cut the entire appropriation for surveyiug public lauds down to §100,000, of which §20, 000 must be used for the examination of sur- veys, The tirst session of the last congres: ropublican iu both bouses, uppropriated #4 000 for surveying publio luuds. At the s ond session 0f tuat congress as much move was appropriated, and yet that amount, sggrogating over §750,000, fell far snort of the requirements, The preseut house cuts the amount down to the nominal sum of §40,- 00V for surveys. Kepresentative Wilson of Washington state says there ave now 10,000 squatters on lands 1u bis state alone waiting for appropriutions to bo made. Nevraska, the Dakotas, Minnesota and other states are baviog the same experience. A conference of the represontatives from the twelve or thirteen public land states will be hela to provide some way by which Holmanand b checse parors may be forced 1o 1nvrease the sppropriation for surveys, No Favors for Alliance Mem bers. It Is not believed that baif of the present farmers’ alliance reprosentation in the house will be returned this fall. As was pointed out in these dispatches some time ago, none of the nine or ten allisuce members Lave ac- complished anytuing iv this congress. They bave lost all sight of local legislation and de- voled themselves to hobbles which they have upon iuvestigation found Lo o based upon | misinterpretation of the facts, Unfortunately all of the alliance members come from sectiof having many local interests before congress, public building bilis, river and harbor im provements, ciaims ‘of various kinds, etc., and experionce fn this congross has taught tho fact that the alliance members here now are utterly and wholly nnabie to apoly thom- selves 1o any practical subject, | Thoy want to talk on tho floors of the two houses all the time and do no actual work, while their con stituency waat them, while advocating these hobbies “which can never pass, to look after local bills. Ihe allianco members and senators are not socepted by either of the other political par- ties in congress, aithough they want to work with the democrats, and henco they get no favors in congress or the dcpartments, ‘chus when their presont terms expire they will bave nothing to show for their pains, It is argued by these men in seif dofense that they are hore as missionaries to inculcats special doctrines, but the reports from their districts show that some work is expected of them, and the experiment of sending men 10 do nothing has boen a costly failure, as tho districts have fallen far behind those which have had actual reprasentation in con- gress, Appearances Were Decelving, Proceedings in the house during the past four or five days have demonstrated o facts contrary to conditions which have been represonted by the democrats, The first is that the Reed rules which gov- erned the last house and which were decried 50 bitterly by the democrats, are absolutely necessary i order to accomplish business, no matter how large a margin the majority mayv have. And the second is that Speaker Crisp 1s not. the smooth, polished gantleman, atall timoes, which his followers urged he was whon they were running him against Mr. Mills, It is & very well known fact that when the present committeo on rules reported the presont code to the houss they told theiv democratic friends that they had incorporated all of the one man power found in the Reod rules without putting it in the offensive form which the authority was given in the old rules. The tvio of Bourbons, Crisp, Me- Millin aud Catchings, who coustitute the committoe on rules in reality, wore bold enough in their work. They dia not give the speaker the power to count a quorum, for the simplo reason that it was not necessary, when the democratic majority was so largy, that a number of them, equal to the entire army of repudlican members, could absent themnselves and yet the democrats would have a majority of the house. To count & quorum was altogether unnecessary, otherwise I know the quorum counting feature would have been aaopted. They Were Prepared for Emergencics, But the three members named covered this and all other poiuts by investing the committeo ou rules with authority to bring in a rule at any time which would limit debate, force o vote upon any measure at given time, compel the attendance of mem- vers, aud, iu sbort, accomplish anything which tho Reed rules accomplished. The rule so reported is not debatable, and there 18 no way to defeat its swift adoption. But the present rules are o failure, as hus been demonstrated. overal times during the week the rapub- licans have tested the present code and found it brutal in its tendencies, vompalling the employmont of brutal or ungentlemanly foree to 0 it eoffective, and wholly in- effective in fine points of action. Mr. Bur- rows demonstrated on two days during the week that 1t was impossible for the speaker to cut off filibustering without the presiding officer becomes ungentlemanly. The present code has been deciared by the bestdemo- cratic parliamentarians to be weak aud o failure, Tnere has been a general lamentation heard 1or several days over the action of Speaker Crisp toward Mr. Burrows on Tues- duy, when the member from Michigan, while attempting with the democratic leader to arrange a limit to the debate on the wool bill was, 1n harsh and unwarranted tones, com- manded to take his seat. The episode almost took the breath of the house. Kven some of the democrats came over to Mr. Burrows after the affair was over and told hup the treatment accorded him was brutal. It has always been the rule that the two reprasen- tatives of the majority and minovity shouid agree toward the end of a long debate at what hour the vote should be taken, and the agreements were always reached in just the form Messrs, Burrows ana McMillin were employihg. Quite D1 Tue fierce and unexpected turn taken by the speakér in poremptorily ordering Mr. Burrows to tuke bis seat and not_permitting the usual exchange of iaoas for tho purposo of roaching an amicable agreement caused great surpris It appears row that tho interpretation given of Speaker Iteed’s great success in presidiog over the house hus been iif the mind of Mr. Crisp and the common demoerat in general, tho exercise of one man power, and Spouker Crisy has come to the conclusion that he will exercise that power, whether it is given to him in the rules or vested in_the committee of which he is chairman. His exercise of that power, or rather interpretation or imita tion of Keeu rulings, was most pathetically a failuve. Worse than all, was Speaker Crisp's dis- ¥ of temper. He became so angry with Mr. Burrows, and without provoration, that ho fairly grated his teeth. It was urged againsi Mr. Mills when he wasa candidate for the speakership that ho was hot-headod, fractious, and would lose his head at eritical moments in times calling for coolness. Spoaker Crisp has outdone in this respect anything imaginary that was ever anticipated” of Mr. Mills,” Once Speaker Crisp becamo 50 angry in o stormy umein the housea fow weeks ago, that it is said he eave a member to understand that ho would weet him on the outside, and actually frichtenea tho member by a men acing exercise of physical force. More than onto memvers under Speaker Crisp have been “sawed off most abruptly and have feit the menacing force of the physical man io the chair. There is not that smooth, gen- tlemanly exerciso of power given in a codo of rules that was seen in an unruly houso two years ago. oS, He ent from Mr. Reed. e World's Kalr Commission, Cieaao, 1L, April 10.—At a meeting of the National World's Fair commission Sat- urday a resolution was adopted peutioning congress to provide amply for the paymont of awards in all lines of competitive exhibi- tions, and for the pavment of all expenses involved in the administrative detsils of the federal commission, A resolution was also adopted inviting Don mlio Castelar, as a fitting recognition of the country which did so much for the ais- covery of the now world, to deliver the ord- tion at the dedicatory exercises.

C. rham, as oxecutor of the private papers of Senator Stanton, has written the follow- ing letter to Senator Sherman. It deals with a striking portion_of the senator’s tecent address and embodies sundry histori- cal documents not heretofore publishied : “Hov. Jonx L. Suermay, United States Senator: Dear Si—In your recont address in New York on the carcer and public ser- vice of your illustrious trother, General W. T. Sherman, you made the following refer- ence to the terms proposed by him for sur- render of the forces of General Joseph John- ston and other commanders at the close of the clvil war: ‘““ieneral Sherman belioved in and sought to carry out the policy of President Lancoln. The terms of the surrender wero tontative and tho conditions were entirely subject to the supervision of the executive authorities, but instead of being submitted to the gener- ous and forgiving patriot who had fallen, they were passad upon in the shadow of a great crime, but stern and rolentless ene- mies, who had not consented to tho condi- tions imposed by General Grant upon Gen- eral Leeand who would have disrogarded them had not General Grant threatened to resign upon tho refusal to carry out his terms. When the arrangement with Géh- eral Johuston was submitted to Presicent Johnston and Mr. Stanton, it was rejected with the insulting intimation that it pro- ceeded from cither cowardice or troachery. The old cry agaiust General Sherman again started. It was even imputed t wonld attempt to play the part of a Crom- well or a militarg usurper. Tho eeuorou kindness of Grant camo to his relief. New terms were agreed upon and the war closed.’ Was Not Favored by Lincoln, “You would have it understood by this that while General Sherman engaged in a pralsewortiy and purely military uct, which ’resident Lincoln would have desired to perform had he lived, he was set upon and insulted and his arrangements seu asido by President Jobuston anda Edwin Stanton, then sacretary of war, in a mean and narrow spirit of revenge because of the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, and that at this juncture the generous kinduess of General Grant inter- posed between him and these allegel ene- mies, and that the two generals agroed on now terms and ended the war. You state all that as though you had approved Ucneral Sherman’s course. W hatever policy Mr. Lincoln might bava recommended to congress for the restoration of tho confederate states to their relations with the union, none knew better thau you that he would never have undertaken to usurp the powers of congress on this sub- ject, much less to allow a military sub- ordinate to guide him in the work by an authorized arrangement made under the provision of Jefferson Davis and his cabinet, “Mr. Lincoln left no room for doubt on this point, for he gave the following direc- tion to General Grant a fortnight before tho Sherman-Johnston negotiations: To General Grant: The president directs me to say that he will have no confer- ence with General Lee, unless itbe for the cupituiution of Lec's army or solely for military matters. Ho instructed me'to suy to vou that you are not to decide, discuss. or wfer on any political question, Such ques- ns the president holds lu hisown hands and will submit them o no wilitary confer- enceor convention. Meanwhile, you ure to press the uttermost your militury advantazes. “'EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War.' “You will say that General Sherman had not heard of this order of Mr. Lincoln’s when he made his arrangemnent wiih Johnston, but it is nono the less absolutely true thathe (Lincoln) would have approved of the ar- rangement. The general nceded no such ad- monition 1o teach him that tho discussion of political policies in a military conference was an invasion of civil authority and outside tha powers of a military commander. o frankly- admitted this in a letter to Secretary Stan- ton, dated April 25, the day after receiving the zovernment's upproval of his terms, and said: ‘I admit my folly in ombracing in a military convention any eivic matters.’ Condemned by Gene “You reprosented General Graut as com- 10 to General Shermau’s relief, from which those not acquainted with the history of the caso vvould suppose that ho approved tho agrecment. Whon you mado this statoment you must have known that Genoral Grant condemned General Sherman’s act before cousulting either President Johnston or Sec- retary Stanton. He wrote to General Sher- man acknowledeing the reccipt of the agree- ment and said: I respactfully submitted it totho president and sccrotary of war and folt satisfied that it could not possivly be ap- proved.’ “In the samo letter ho states that upon his suggestion a cabinot mecting was called, the result of which was ‘the disapproval by the president of tho basis laid down, by the disapproval of the negotiations altogother, oxcopt for tho surrender of the army com! mand by General Johnston, and an order for the terminaiion of tho armistice and tho re- sumption of hostilities.” “I'have boforc me while I write the orig- 1al of the following note of Grant to Mr. Stanton : HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES AuMy, WASH- INGTON, April 21, 1865 —Hon. E. M. Stunton, Socretary of War: Fir—1 have recoived and {ust completed rending the dispatciies brouzht by special messenzer from Genernl Shermin, Thoy ure of such importance that 1 think in mediate action should be taken on them, and it should be done by the president in councll With bis whole cabinet.

Under this order Sher- man_gave notice that hostili.ies would be resumed, whereupou Jounston's army was surrendered under terms accorded by Graut. As amatter of prudence and necessity Mr. Stanton telegraphied to General Joun A. Dix, then in New York, o publish the same day a copy of the Sherman-Johuston agroements and its disapproval by the government, To it was appended the reasons for its disap- proval, These reasons were as fullows : *First—It was an exerelse of an authorl not vested iy Gontral Sherman. and o 1 fuce shows that both he and Johnston know that General Sherman hud no suthority 1o enter lnto Ary such arran N *second—It was a prac acknowle ment of the rebel governm: “Third—1t undertook 1o resc rebel stute government that had been over- thrown b the sacrifice of many thousand loyul livesand an lmmenso treasury, und pluced the arms and munitions of warin the hauds of rebels at thelr respective capituls, which might be used as s0on us the armics of the United States were d sbanded, and used to conquer and subdue the loyal states, Fourth—Iiy the restoration of rebel au- thority iu their respective states they would be enubled to ro-estabiish slavery.

Senator Sherman Himself Quoted, “In conclusion Allow me to quote one authority in support of Mr. Stanton's views in the condemration of General Sherman’s fearful mistake, The authority will not be seriously questionad by you. It reads as follows *COLEVELAND, O, Aprll 20, 1835, —Mr. Denar Sir: 1 am distrosséd boyond measure ut tho terms granted Johnston General Sherman. Thoy are inadmissable.

Ho discards ihe idea that Blaine's policy was weroly inspired for electionoering purposes, and proceeds toshow thatit is part and parcel of tho gonoral policy, aiming at resu highly alarming to the South American states and td Europoan nations, among which Great Britain, Frauco and Gormany stand first, Ho racalls tho anuoxation of California to the United States, and that the Washing- ton cabinet's interference in the Chlli- Peruvian war of 1870, and that pressure was exercised to induce Perua “to surrender its resources and freedom into the hands of an American fivm.” Tho meddling of tho United States in tho_recent Chilian revolu- tion and, lastly, the Washington pan-Awmer- ican congress, whereby Blaine attemoted to destroy the jndependence of the South American states through an arbitration oourt, whicn would havo made the United ates master of the fato of the new world’s Latin republics. All these facts, besides tho proposed Nicaraugau canal, are set forth as showing that the United States is resolved upon achieving by mighu or right the dream of a new world zollverein, which would vlace both portions of America under their sway.

This law is of but little use, in that it my pic- tures were sold to some person in [Rome, and that person conveys the:n over tho frontier and sclls them to someono else, that third pérson can in no way be held responsible.

I don’t know whero they are at present. ‘I have institutea a lawsuit against tho government to prove that my pictures do not como urder the majovats law and only con- sider myself bound by the alaw. Tho government wanted to see my pictures and I refused. The government said, ‘You have sold your pictures abroad.’ I replied: ‘I will say nothing until the case comes up, and then prove it if you can. Unless yoa can prove it you have horight to say that.) The goy- ernwent is 1n 4 situation where it don’t know where to begin, but I am now before court, ““T'he truth {s, T wanted to sell my pictures 1o the state very cheap, but it refused. Then Ioffero to prosent the country soveral of y best if it would allow me to sell the rest, ow the minister feels that I did a foolish thing in refusing the offer. In February last a severe law wos passed the penalty being imprisonnent, for sclling pictures out of gal- lerias to be sent abroad, but it was before that law passed that my pictures were miss- ing.

'The ‘delay is explained ofticially on the ground that the arrival of the Russian squadron is being waited for in order to complete the quadrupie manifesta- tion in which Engiand, Italy ané France are to take part. . The French Levant squadron, under com- mand of Admiral Dessarts, kas ervived at Port Said, the latest incidents baving ren- dered all conjectures possible, It is now feared that new demands have been made by Lord Salisbury, who is search- ing for a jingo platform on Wwhich to go_be- fore the public in the coming election, This opinion would seem to bo confirmed by the language of the Egyptian Gazette, which last evening said that it was not yet kuown bow the powers would settle the question of the publication of o supplementary irade concerning the peninsula of Sinal and that for this reason such prior arrangemont was unnecessary.

Curcaco, IiL, April 10.—The mdications are that a complete victory will be gained by the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City road in its controversy with Chairman Pinley regarding the right of the western roads to use the re- duced fares betweon Chicago and Ohio river peints as basing rates from western and northwastern points to Cincinnati, Louisville and Indiana pownts. The chair- man a day or 30 ago refused to authorizo any such action on tho part of the lines in tte Wes: ern Passerger association, but Saturday he receded from his position as far as 10 issue a circular letter to the members asking thom to vote on the question. The fact is that Mr. Finloy’s ruling, while 1t might have been technically in accordauco with the agreement and rules of the association, was really in coufiict with a former ruling of the Interstate Commerce commissiou, More than two years ago tho Chicago & Atlantic road compelled its western counec- tions to use its differential fares from Chi cago to eastern points us basing rates in ticketing pasaengers from the west over that line. This was done by appealing to tho Interstate Commerce commission. Judes Cooley, who was at that time chairman of the commission, decided that no road had a right to charge a higher rato over a con- necuing line than was yoluntarily charged by that line itself. The present cut rate between Chicago and the Ohio river have been logally established as reguiar fares and not to recognizo them in making tbrough rates would be to compel tho passen- ger going from St. Paul to Cincinnati b, way of Chicago to pay more than the com- bined local rates, St. Paul to Chicago and Chicago to Cincinnati. Now that Chairmun Finley has shifted the responsivility of sot tling this question tothe roads themselves there is no doubt that the new fares will be adopted as basing rates, The Chicago & St. Paul lines have agreed upon a new scnedule of sumuer tourist rates to northern points on businoss originating in or south of Chicago, the tickets to bo good going by rail and returning by luke or vice versa. The round trip rates are as follows Between Chicago and St wul, $10; Chicago and Duluth, $15 50: Chicago und Ashland, $10; Milwatkeo and St. Paul, §9: Milwaukeo and Ashland, $); Milwaukee and Duluth via St. Paul, $12.50; via direct lines, §10. A mass meeting of rate clerks will be held at Pittsourg April 2310 consider summer tourists ratos from points in the territory of the Central TraMc association. It was agreed that tourist rates to southwestern points, basing on Mississippi and Missouri voints'be made on the same basis in effect during the summer of 1891, except where a change in local rates of lines in that terri- tory will necessitate a new adjustment. by 5 PROSPECTS tages of the City—No thing of its History, Hazann, Neb,, April 10.—[Speeial to Bee. | —The people of this place and vicinity have just held & mass meeting to consider means to further advance the interests of the town of Hazard and vicinity, Speeches were mado and a Board of T'rade was per manently organized with the following officers: 1.

It was in the shape of a brief message from Sheriff Ingus at Buffulo to Deputy Shenff Kimball at Douglas. It states that a fight has occurred on Powder river between the big stockmen and rustlers, but gives no par- ticulars whatever. A private lotier recelved here says that whenever the wires have been cut north of Buffulo, as thoy have boey sev- eral times, seventy or eighty feet of wiro is removed and carricd away.

Itis reported from Douglas that occasional words can be caught, over the wire in the midst of many breaks, “five,” “burned”’ and, “flagg” aro among the expressions, and the exact connection cannot be made out although the latter word un- doubtealy has refer:nce to Juck Ilagg, ono of the most daring spirits among tho rust- lers.
