BEATRICE'S STREET CAR WAR, Lival Companies Conciude to fmmediately Deelde Thelr Alleged Claims, Beatnace, Neb,, June 12.—Beatrice 1s just now enjoying a street railway war that is linble to develop 1nto somothing in- teresting betore ending. The trouble grows out of the cancellation of the contract whereby tbe Beatrico Rapla Transit and Power company sought to acquire the property and fran- chises of the old Beatrice street railwayy The falure to make the necessary pay- ments agreed upon June 1 causca the oid com- pany to decido all agreements susvended and all contracts void, Last year the Kapia Transit company se- cured a franchise over all the streets of the city that were ever liable to be utilized for strect car purposes, and announced its de- termination 0 put in an eleciric line to run in conjunction with tho resent electric line in South Beatrice. Vith this in view, the negotiations for the purchase of the old street car line were be- gun and carried to a rearly successfl term- Snution, but which have since been declared void by the old company. The Rapid Tran- it and Power company still hold their fran- chise over the streets of tho city, but nov occupied by them, and s0 immediately upon the adjonrnment of the citv council last night about 12 o'clock, the Rapid Transit and Power company had a gangof workmen in readiness and proceeded to tear up the paving at tho intersection of Sixth and Court streets and up North Sixth streot alongside the old com- pany’s line with the intention of putting down the rival track. ‘I'he ties and iron had been brought on the ground and the work was being pusbed rapudly when representatives of the old company had the work stopped by the police nuthorities under the Sunday working ordi- nance. The present live of the Rapid Transit com- pany extends southwards on Sixth street from Court, and it was its intention to push the lino out North Sixth streot, which strcot is now occupied by the main line of the old strect car company In order to obstruct tho work of tho Kapid ‘'ransit company the old streey car company hus stationed oue of its cars across Sixth street av Court along its Court and Ninth street hine. Thus the matter stands tonight. The Rapid Transit pople will bogin work o their North Six*h street exteusion tomor- row and will push it to completion without regurd to the threats or obstructive policy of their antagobists, the old company. Both companies claim the exclusive franchise over the streot in question REPARING FOR GOOD WORK.

Nrew Youk, June 12,—Mrs. Potter Palmer, prosident of the board of lady managers of the World's fair, arrived 1n this city today on the steamship ktruria. She has beea av- sent seven weeks, and visited Ingland, Aus tria, France and Belgium in the interest of , the fair. Throughout theselcountries; and others which she had not an opportunity to visit, she said the sentiment was very favorablo in behalfof & woman's exhibit. The trouble with a great many of the European countries was that the parliaments, like some of our own state legslatures, did' not properly spe- cify what fortion of the uppropriation mado should be devoted to tho woman's exhibit, An interesting bit of information obtaincd from Mrs, Palmer was the fact that there was some dissension in the women’s commis- sion from England. The duchess of Aber- corn and the countess of Aberdeen both claim to represent the Irish exbibit, which will bo principally lace. Politics entered into the deliberations of the commission and both claim priority. Several years ago, beforea World's fair was talked about, Lady Aberdeen was in this country trying to further the salo of Irish manufactures.” The duchess of Abercorn’s ouly claim to represent the [rish industries is that her husbaud is a tory landowner in that country. Mrs. Palmer, however, thinks that the rivalries between tho two distin- guished ladies will be amicably arranged so thatIrelaud’s (under English rule) googds will bo proverly represented at the fair. While our women proclaim to bo foremost in every movement, they were far behind, as regards practical work, to their sisters in England. She was rather ashamed of this, but hud to admit it at what she saw. Among the countries heard from whera ac- tion bas been taken with regard to the women’s exbibit are Italy, where the queen is tho patroness; Germany—Princess Frederick Christian; Belgium—the queen; France—Mme. Carnot, and Austria— Princess Metternich. Work is being done in the countries which havenot yet appointed comwittees to forward the project and have the governments recognize the imporiance of # woman's exhibit at the fair, From such countries as Syria and India, where it is not expected that commttees will e appointed by the government, tho board of women managers of the fair are negotiat- ing with American women residont there to send exhibits of eversthing unique in woman's work.

So tho names already mentioned in connection with the secretary- ship of state is added today that of Minister Robert Lincoln. The improbability that Dr. Depow would cousent to take the place appears more and more evident to the Washington public upon further considera- tion, especially since it has been learned hero that he himsell toid somebody out west that there was nothing in the ramor.

Wasmixeroy Bureau or Tae Bee, } CONGRESS L FORECASTS, What the Natig gatin Will do During the Present Weel. Wasnixatoy, D. C., June 12.—The busi- ness of the scnute during the coming week will be governed to a great extent upon the extent to which the republican senators who have flocked in such large numbers to Minneapolisg will have returned to Washing- ton and have again taken their seats in the chamber, Inany case, however,s0me progress may be made on general appropriation bilis —two of which (the legislative and tne agri- cultural) were received from the house last Thursday and referred to the committee on appropriations (where tho postoflice appro- priation bill is also pending), and several conference reports will. probably be pre- sented to the senute and agreed to during tho week. The silver bill will not be taken up for action until after things political shall have got back into their normal condition (subsequent to the democratic convention). There may be action expected upon it aud the currency question during almost any dny’s session. Mr. Morgan is ready to take the flcor on the silver guesiion whevever he sces an opportunity of extracting tho views of the nators; and Mr, Peffer has given notice of his intention to address Lhe senste tomorrow on his peculiar bill, *To increase the cur- rency and provide for its circulation, to reduco the rates of interest and to establish a bureau of loans.” -And finally, Mr. Call proposes next Weduesday to pay his respects to certain raiiroad companies which show, us he thinks, too much 1nterest in the question of who shall be elected to the senate. In the House, Tu the house there is indication of & busy week, with tariff again the leading issue. At this time it is impossible to stato the order in which the tariff bills will bo_taken up, but the probabilities are that thetin plate bill will be the first onathe program if Mr. Shively returns to Washington from Indinna in season, as is expected. The sil- ver-lead ore bill and the biil to limit the values of clothing aud personal offects that may be brought lnto the country by tourists are also to receive speedy consideration. As there has already been a free expression of opinion on the gen- cral subject of tariff revision, 1t is believed that the debato on the first of the measures called up will e broad enough to cover the others, A strong disposition is apparent to hasten the hour of adjournment. All of the regular annual appropristion bills bhave been passed originally by the Dhouse ox- cept the fortilication bill and the geveral deficiency bill. The last named was reported to the house early in week and both will receive speedy treatment. Some time is also to he given to the consider- ation of conference reports and it 18 ox pocted that the District of Columbia, the river and haroor, the millitary academy, and possibly, the army appropriation bills will be shat back for approual during the week. This is an extensive program, but the house man- agers are oxtremely desjrous to advance the vppropriation bills as much as possiblo befure tne exodus of the democratic mem- bers toward Chicago begins at the latter end of the week and they will uso every effort to accomplish their purpose.

Then we mado up our minds to risk o test, It was a daring thing to do. Wo arranged for & meeting of all the Harrison delogates, We knew perfectly well that if not onough delegates appeared to constitute a mujority of the couvention the fact would be vecog- nized by the weak-kneed man to be a releaso and that our cause was lost. But when 46: votes wore found they chose me to lead the column, fully convinced of success. The op- position was disorganized, but when those 463 men saw my ari ruised they recognized the man whom they had choseh to direct their tactics. Reid's Candldacy. aw Reid’s candidacy had nothing to do witn Blaine's deteat. In the first pluce tie was not a candidate. I made up my mind, however, some lime ago to secure his nomi- nation if'it lay within my power. Everyone knows my feelines towara Blaine. 1f he had not. written that letter to Clarkson ho would have had my support. More than that, if ko had atan carly dateannounced his candidacy, Harrison would not have been a candidate, That letter was o messaco from & great leader to his followers. It was never my disposition to sul in my tent. In tho first place it spoils tho disposition and then, too, tents wre hot. The more I con- templated tho situation tho more I was con- vinced that there was no other candidate with one-nalf Harrison's strength before the people. Take the whole situntion now, and with Clevelana as tho opposing caudidate, Harrison is possibly stronger than Blaino would have been. He is certainly stronger with the country tham he was in the last campaign, Ho bas proved himself reaily a big man. He was never jealous of nis sccretaries. He never endeavored to take away one lota of credit that was due Blame, But when you come to say that somo one beside Harrison carried out all thosegreat affairs of state without any sug- gestions or modifications from the president you run the thing down to a reductio ad ab- Surdum. Harrison’ “Harrison had three elements of groat strength. Ho was strong with tho business men, Nine-tenths of the business men of this’ country favored iho remomination of Harrison and I belicve that the laboring men Elements of Strength, who are dependent upon labor felt the samo way. Ho was stroug in the solidity of the old soldiers. Among these thero was not a dissenting voice. There ave 450,000 voting soldiers and this eiement was distrustful of every other can- didate before the convention.” MORE FRENCH OPINION, Individ Republi Paws, June 12,—The Paris papers devote some space to considoration of the results of the national convention at Minneapolis.
