Troubles of the Atlantic Canning Com- pany Being Ventilat:d. SMOOTH WORK OF AN I0WA DETECTIVE How He Succeeded in Getting a Criminal Out of Nebraska Without a Requisition ~Death ceentric Inventor— Yesterday's Happenings. of aun S mith McPherson, the referee in tho mat ter of the Atlautic Canning company, has taken a mass of ovidence, the complications and entanglements of which will take some time to straighten out, The differences be- tween McWade & Martin and D W. Archer are great, the former claiming about £25,000, while Mr. Archer claims an equally large amount is justly due him. Mr. Archer fs interested in several western canning estad- lishments, and bas proved very successful. Among tho contracts made by him was one by which hu was to manage the Atlautic factory for a period of five years, and to have o certain wnterest in it. McWade & Marlin claim that under this contract Archer s re- sponsiblo for certain heavy losses that oc- curred and also for damages in not fuliiliing this contract, Archer, on the otter hand, while admitting that thore was such a con- tract, claims that it was annulied by a verbal agreoment, and by certain actsof MeWade & Martin, who Insisted on running tho factory in 1880, when he insisted that owing to tho overproduction and the depressed condition of the market the factory snould be shut down, Despite this McWede & Martin went abeaa, and the resuit of the year was disastrous, just as Mr. Archer had foresoen, Then they wanted him to stand the loss, Mr. Archer claims that when ho took charge of the factory the com- any hiad already 10st £0,000 in_operating it. Fie proccedod to put it in money making shape, and for two or three years the profits wero large. Then the market became such that nearly all the factories shut down, but McWede & Martin were bound to go ahead in spite of him, and under their management thero was a heavy loss. Whilo there are many complications iu this entanglement of litigation, the real issue is as to tho contracy between the parties and the liabilities aris- ing under it.

Wanted for Burglary. « Detective Johnson of Des Moines was in the city yesterday looking for Jim Lee, who s wanted to answer to a charge of burglary. He served o sentence 10 the city jail here for some minor offense. Lee was picked out by the officers at the time be was here as a man wlo would probably turn out soouer or ater to ©be a criminal, and tne were not disappointed. Johnson went to Omuha, whers he found his man confined in the county jail. A rather neat little scheme was concocted between Johnson and the Omaha authoritiss for getting Lee to this side of the river without a requisi- tion. For the time being Johuson played the purt of a prisoner and the patrol wagon was brought into play to take him and Lec 1o the motor bridge, where thoy were to be turned loose on Iowa soil arter the usual custom. When they arrived at the middle of the brigge they were given a shove in an easterly direction. As soon as thoy had passed the boundary line Jotnson threw off his disguiso and arrested his companion. ‘When Les found he had been duped he rased o vigorous kick, but he had to submit to being led to the city jail.

Peck of Callawav read a paper on “What Grouping of Chapters is Advantage- ous,” in which he advocated the abolishment of the state league and relying upon the pre- siding eliers and general conferonce dis tricts.

(Copyrighted 1892 by New York Associated Press.] Loxnos, July 22,—To inquiries addressed to Mr. Akers Douglass, the chief conserva- tive whip, today as to whether the govern- ment, if defeated on a vote of ‘'no con- fidence,” would persist in remaining in office, he responded simply that ‘“‘the government will act in accordance with precedent and the constitution.”” As the Lalance of precedents are distinctiy toward immediate resignation on defeat, the whip's reply can by taken us opposed to the roports that Lord Salisbury will chal- Jenge the validity of Mr. Gladstone’s min- istry to govern with a majority. A sugges. tion to this effect hus been discussed in tho conservative clubs since the character of the Gladstonian majority became visible, but on overy side it has been scouted as improbable. The article in the Pest adopting the suggestion does not carry much weight. The Post 18 not an inspired organ and the result of research made today in official quarters, by the re- porter of the Associated press, confirms his previous statements that both the conserva- tive and unionist leaders huve decided to re- sign on the first vote in which a majority is against them. One Precedent, Tho whip’s referencé to precedents racall the fact of one single memorable instance of a prime ministor porsisting in defying a ma- jority. This was Peol, who, in 1834, re- turned from the polls supvorted by 204 tories. Against him Melbourne had a ma- jority, heterogeneous In its charas.er, it con- sisting of 100 Britisn whigs, 180 radicals, forty-four Irish repealers and twentystwo Irish whigs. Peel was defeated on the election” for speaker by ten votes Ho still held on. On the measure of educational re- form, affecting dissenters, he was defeated by 110 votes, but he declined to go. On_tho Irish tithes bill, a majority of thirty-three was against him, but still he clung to office. He facea two more defeats on Irish questions decided by Irish votes before ho resigned. The fight lasted until the government had to confront complete paralyzation of admin- istration by tho majority refusing to grant supplies. Lord Salisbury bas a sup- ply that will enablo the business of the country to proceed uutii January, but Peel’s example, if followed now-a-days, would ut- terly disgraco the unionists and crush their chances at the next clection. The ministers' communications to the heads of the government departments, ex- clusively, concern the winding up of their official duties by the third week in August. According to the present arrangemont, the nsual ministorial dinners on the evening pre ceding tho opening of the session will not take plac The First Note of Discord. The main_result of a meeting of a small group of radicals at the house of Sir Willinm Vernon Harcourt yesterday has been the introduction of the iirst note of discord in the party. After the meeting several mem- bers of the House of Commons who had been present sppeared at the Nutional Liberal club, where they announced that a memorial wouid be sent to Mr. Gladstone, urging him to put the leaditg plank of the Nowecastle program Lo the forefrout and home rule in the background. Although the general feeling at tho club is disunctly in favor of this course of logislation, yet the desire there to leave Mr. Gladstone un- fettered is stronger, and the proposed rali- cal protests, likely to cmbarrass him, is dis- approved. The movement is cnushlg a sharp internal row. I'he reserved attitade of the Irish leaders is in contrast with this prema- ture activity of the redicals. Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien aod other Me- Carthyites will not bs interviewed for the preseat. They tell the reporter of the Asso- clated Press that they will say nothing for publication until the relations of their party with Mr. Gladstone are further assured.

Mewmpins, Lenn,, July 22.—There abatement, notwithstanding the intense heat, 10 the attendance nor the interest manifested in the Alive Mitchell case. Iv was 8:50 when court convened. The first witness called was Miss Adaie Mitchell. She seemed to feel her sister’s position very keenly and to realize the humihation attendant upon it. Her testi- mony was purely cumulative to that offered on previous occasions, James Jobuson, brother of Lillie Johnson, testified that he had known Alice for two years aud she had ulways displayed a most decided averson to the society of gentlemen. Tho testimony of William H. Volkmar, brother-in-law of the victim, was next called for by the defense, aud proved the most sensational of the day. Referring to the proposed elopemont, which was to be con- summatod while Alice and Lillie Johnson were visiting the Misses Ward, last summer, he said that Froaa's action denoted some- thing unusual—she insisting upon sleeping in a different room . from tnat usually occu- pied by her, and on leaving the window open. He kept watch outside, expecting a man to show up. Just before the boat whistled he entered the room suddenly. He heard F'reda push ner valise under the bod. She was dressed, but as he enterod the room she jumped ato bed, pulled the sheet over her .as though she was undressed ana professed anger at the intrusion. Witness was pretty mad. He called his wife and gemanded of Freda what this all meant. Then she confessed that she was going 1o run off with Allce. They were to marry and Alice was to work for her to support her. Witness at the time he inter- cepted the letters was not aware of any iu- fatuation between the girls. He intercepted them becauss he had ccme to the conclu- sion that Alice was not fit companion tor her, On the discoyery of the plun of elopement he vpromised Freaa that night that he would never men- tion the matter to her agawn. He was ashamed of it and of her wauting to leave a good homs, aud sald 1f she would not refer to the matter again that he would keep it a dead secrat. After this episode, witaess ad- vised his wife that she request the visitors to return to their homes, as he did not con- sider them fit associates for his sister-in-law. Witness saw nothing to lead him to believe Alice mentally unsound. After tho examination of Miss Jo Ward, sister of F'roda, in whose testimony there was no new development, court adjourned until tomorrow. is no L V1CTIM OF A BLACK BRUTE. - Horrible Assault Commlited by a Negro on n Kansas City Girl, Kawxsas City, Mo., July 22.—Pearl Power, who lives with her widowed mother at 1332 North Seveoth street, Kansas City, Kan., was brutally assaulted by a negro this morn- ing.

It is hinted that the Rock Island, the Mis- souri Pacific and the Union Pacifie will unite A movement to destroy the Atchison's local rates in Kunsas by making a rate of $10 or less as far west us Dodge City, Lurned, Great Bend, Wichita, IEmporia and other competitive points, and slushiug tbe through rate from southwestern Missouri river points to Deuver, Another scheme is to apply the $12 rate to Denver and return by way of St. Paul, thus bringing the Northern Pacilic and Great Northern mto the tight and extending the demoralization iuto the northwestern terri- tory. Just what will be done can only be told agter tomorrow’s meeting. It does’ not seem probable that there is any sovious desire on the part of the othor mem- bers to arive the Atchison out of the association. Having pormitted the Alton to 0 out, they can ill afford to lose any more of their members unless thoy are looking for an excuse to dissolve the association, Itis among the possibilities that the Atchison will withdraw of its own accord. Should the chairman decide after hearing the evi- dence that the company is not justified in making the proposed reduction, it must eithor withdraw, appeal to arbitration or forego thoe pleasure of putting the $12 rato into elfect. Grain Rates Reduced. Chairman Blgnchard of the Central Traffl association announced today that the Van- dalia hine has published a tariff, effective July 25 ,maxing rates on grain and grain pro- ducts ou the basis of 20 cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to New York. This is a reduction of 5 cents per 100 pounas. The Vandalia¥, reason for taking this step is not given, bAt in view of the generally accepted theory that certain lines huve been secretly cutting these rates for several mounths, the reason is apparent, 'Thus far no road has made an open reduction, but the Vandalia’s cxample will be followed us a matter of course by all the roads aftected by it. Accused by Shippers, When the Interstate Commerce commis- sion last weelk investigated the charges made against several roads of discriminating 1n rates on eastbound traffic unothing could be learned as to who the complaiuants were. It has since leaked out that the charges wero filed by four or five large dealers in this city, who said they had been approached by railroaa freight agents with offers of cut rates. Through respect for the law, they de- clined the offers. They learned that other firms wers accepting tho cut rates, however, and desiriug to protect their own trade, they complained to the commis- sion. Some of the railroad men who were examined knew the source of the commis- sion’s information, and instead of aenying the charges took refuge in a refusal to answer questions. Should Judge Gresham decide thut they must answer, and they then declare their innocence, the orig- inal compiainants will be produced as wit- nesses, Colorado Rates Reduced, Reduced freight rates to Colorado and Utah points, in accordance with the notices raviously given by the Rock Island au Burlington roads, went into erfeot today. Hereafter these rates will be as follows on the several classes: First class, ‘second class, §1.5! hird class, §1.22; fourth class, 95 cents; fifth class, 75 cents; class A, 8 conts; class B, 50 ts; class C, 60 cente; class D, 521 cents; cluss 13, 46 cents, Eustern 1inols Extension, It is undoubtedly the intention of tue owners of the Chicago & Eastern [Ihnois to at once begin the coustruction of the exten sion from Terre Haute to Kvansville, prac- tically paralleliug the Evansville & Terre Haute rond. Tne movemont has becn rumored for some time, but so secretly has the prelimioary work been dove that definito information nas not been obtainaole. The Eustern Ililuolr munagement is very reticent, but it was learned today that for three mouths locating engineers have been in the field and several surveys mapped out and profiles prepared, and that the work of construction will commence at an early date, It is stated that material for the new line will be on the grounds by the midale of Au- gust. Rates on Flour, MixxearoLis, Minn., July 22, —The Norih- western Miller says: The Chicago and M- waukeo lines have apparently got tired of seeing the bulk of Minneapohs flour go east- ward via Lake Superior and this wesk sev- oral of them have issued tariffs reducing flour rates 21¢ cents per 10) pounds to sea- hourd, making the rate from Minneapolis 1o New York 25 cents. These tariffs bear various _dates from July 19 onward, The Lake Superior lines are to make corre- sponding roductions. All rail and across Iake rates are not affected by the change. e NEWS FOR THE ARMY, Complete List of Chinges in the Regular Service. Wasiisatoy, D.

M'MILLIN DEFEATED THE BILL, Des Molnes River Land Settlers Refused Rellet by One Man. Wasmixeroy, D. C., July 22.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee. |—But for the voico of one man today the bill for tue reliof of the settlers on the Des Moines river lands in Towa would have pussed the house. Mc- Millin of Tennessee, a democrat, objected. The bill was called up during the hour set apart for the public lanas commitice, clea of Arkansas, in the absence of Mr. Riley, had charee of the measure. Upon the ‘question of passage of the bill thero were only two adverse votes, McMillin never hesitates Lo vote §5,000,000 or 10,000,000 for the improvement of the rivers and creeks of the south, but the prospect of spending o few thousand dollars for the benefit of the evicted settlersin lowa, even Lnough the money 1s to be expended to undoa wrong committed by the United States, was too much for him. He could not think of allowiog the bill to pass if there was a single chance to defeat it, and he saw the ch: Tho-session wus but slimly attenaed and McMillin raisod the point of “*no quorum,” There was no time to drum up the mombers absent in committes rooms and at lunch, and consequeatly the hour expired before the roli call could bo completed, The bill was knocked out for the time belug, although it has passed the committee of the whole. Speaker Crisp was very wuch interested in the matter and he has promised to give Mr. Dolliver a day upon the first opportunity, when another effort will be made for it The senate today pussed tho Paddock bill providing for the survey aad transfer to No- braska as school lands to make up for the loss 10 the state of lands not found in their place, the Fort Randall militury reservation. 1t is generally estimated that it will make up for all school lands lostin place amounting to 14,000 acres.
