CHAMPIONS ARE RIGHT HERE Omaha's Laorossn Team Gives the Hub Oracks a Hard Fall, T00 HOT FOR THE KEARNEY VISITORS Mome Players Set the TPaee at the Siart and Never Relaxed for w Moment in Th Vigoroas Work-b to 0. Omaha has regained the lacrosso cham- plonship, which was won from her by Kear- ney last Thanksgiving day. That is the outeome of what took the fair grounds yestorday afternoon, aud the Omaha boys are highly elated at it Well they may be, too, for Kearney had come 10 be looked upon as quite tae team Lincoln tried it on June 19 and failed, losing threo straight, and Omaha triod on July 4 and got only one goal to Kearney's 1wo. Yesterday thore was no doubt about who eame out on top, for Omaha did not lose a game and won five, Although the Omaha club s now entitled torank as champion of the state, it really ranks only about equal to Kearney on the sonson's play. But in the prosent stage of the game in Nebraska—it is only a foreigner and a very recent immigrant—defeat of the champion gives tho championship. No one will question that the Omaha boys deserve the title, for thoy have mado wonderful progress during this summer, and theic besy team now piays excellent lacrosse. Noxt year will perhaps seo a league formed and rules for the championships formulated. - Throo o'clock was the time set for the bo ginning of yesterday's game: but it was nearly 5:80 when the tonms lined up in the tleld and Ditchburn and Smith faced off the ball, From the moment the signal was givon the play was fast and exciting. lven u man who didn't know the game could sec that. And it very soon beeame evident even o the most unsophisticated that Omaha was winning. The ball came down to the Omaha goul at the start and seowed to stay right thero all the time. Were in it from the Start, The Omaha boys. conspicuous in their whito jerseys, with Omaha in bold letters across th cked cach othoer up well all through, and'it was not long before the ball was thrown, apparently | the posts. But it needs a practiced hand to throw a nine-ounce rubber ball oft a lacrosso stick through a space measuring six by six feot, and it needs a very watehful eye to bo in when the ball is thrown that it passed between the posts and not too high. In this case the decision given against the Omahas, and they started out again. In a foew minutes another similar throw was made, but again no goal was allowed. It was nearly twenty minutes from the start when Prickett got the ball in his stick and threw it _indisputably between the posts. Then there was a shout and ““ton minutes allowed for refres With the restart the field was changed around and the Omahas attacked what_had beon the Kearneys' goal, At one time Ke ney seemed to be going 10 scory wis down at the erand-stand end for several minutes, but eventually it was freed, and al- most immediately Ott threw it between the posts at the other end of the field. The next stage was evenly contested until Ditchburn, Omaha's center, got the thira game for his sde. By this time tho Kearney men wero thorcughly disheartened and_demoruliz and Omaha got through and Ott scored hi second goal i one minute 11, 'his was really the end of the fight fThore was thirtcen minutes more pla, then. when Prickott got another goal and Omaha's score was five straight, it wi cided to call time. It was hardly 5 o'clock, but the piayers had had enough.” The Kear: nay men no doudt had beou convineed that the longer they went, on the wors8 would be their defeat, and there was nouse,therofore, in prolonging the agony to the full extent of the law. . Omahn's Temn Work Did Tt. There had been all through some excellent team work on the part of the Omaha men, and it was abunduntly noticeable th: Wwas in this that they excelled. The K noy men played cach for himself, and is @ game that never succoeds. Low colored man, is head and shoulders abovo any of the rest of the team, and possibiy this fact tendoed to emphasizo the evil of in- dividualism from which the team suffered. On the Omaha side, when one man got_ the ball, others would back him up and chere was some very pretty passing done atall stages of the game. AU tho same time the Omaha boys had to keop their oves closely an Lewis, for if he had onco wot well oy thore is 1o telling what he mizht have dond place at but it - that , the ‘I'he following were the positions of the players: Oninha Position Kearncy Prickett..........

Routt, Ex-Govornor Routt, who has filled the gubernatorial chair of Colorado throe times, and one of the most progressive of men, ro- garded the situation as being ono of extreme gravity, but said that he could say nothing but what has been_repoated time and again ““We have formed no definite plan of pro- cedure yet, but will decide what course we will pursue today, as soon as we oan hold & meeting on our arrival in Chicago,” con- cluded the governor. Chimes from Othor Silver Rells, (Goorge Merrick, chaieman of the Colorodo State Silver league, remarked erybody knows the object of out convention. We are fighting for home, liberty and honest money. L. C. Gard of the Daily State Mining Journalsaid: ““Honest money, a restoration of silver to a parity with gold. is what we want. We ask for frec comnage and a ratio of 16 to 1. John D. Vaughan, editor of the Creode Chronicle, was on board. It is day all day in the daytime and there is no night in Creode. Mr. Vaughau said: *“You see our motto, “For Silver.” and we are for it strong. We are making a struggle for life now, and will s0on know where wo stand.” Joe H. Hutchinson, secretary of the Colo- rado Mining Stock lixchange, sajd: “Thoe result of this coming session of congress means lifo or death for Colorado. We are in a more desperate position than any one in the east can imagine, and there is only one y out. T think congress will find it.” Senator Newman wouldn't talk much, but he has a speech all roady to deliver at the 20 convention, and it is sure to hit the v nail on the head, Thomas M. Patterson, editor of the Rocky Mountain News, preserved a _dignified si- lence, but he had his thoughts in training on a kite-shaped track. His voice has been heard at Lincoln quite emphatically in the past few day. Halsey M. Rhoads, editor and proprietor of the Rocky Mountain Herald and one of the oldest newspaper men in_Colorado was shaking hands with some Omaha friends. He suid that the peoplo of the Centennial state were in a bad shape. “Wo are like the Irishman who had grabbed the bull by the horns, We ure going to laugh somo time, even if we get tho worst of it. People who have not been in Colorado for a year have no idea of the situ- ation. Thaye lived in Denver vwenty-five years and seen many ups and downs, but this is the worst thing that has over happened to us. But it cannot last much longer. This is & caso of catehing the ground hog or having no meat, and wo propose to havemeat. Donver and every other Colorado city is in very poor shape, but the eastern gold bugs can’t keep us down that we have got started.” ieneral George W. Cook, one of the most popular men in Denver, and a Grand Army celebrity, was as jolly’ as ever. Goorge is extensively interested in coal and iron min- ing andisone of the most_energetic and public spirited of citizens. He hailed a ro- porter and said: “Say, young man, we may be hard up in Colorado, but we have 5ot enough money to live on yor." Mr. Cook said that the situation was very serious, but they were all hoping for the best. “Ican’tsco why we should not re- conive fair treatment in the matter, and_ all our interests are strongly reprosonted in this delegation—the capitalist, tho mer- chant, the miner and laborer and mechanic all have delegates with us, and we propose to make the effort of our lives to secure re- lief for our state.” Donald Fletcher, the wealthy real estate dealer, inspired the delegates with his cheerful words when they show signs of do- spondency. He has great faith in Denver's future. Edward R. Holden “exprossed the belief thatif vhe Sherman law was ropealod and no favorable silver legislation . substi- tuted, it would precipitate a panic in this country. M. Holden said that the only accentable substitute for Colorado would bo free ana unlimited coinage. He thought that unless this was obtained the sus- pended banks of Colorado and the east would never resume. Hon. Archie Fisk, president of the Pan- American Bimetallic league, said: “The unconditional repeal of the Sherman law without a good substitute would demonetize silvor entirely and increase the purchasing power of a gold dollar. It would mean eventually bankruptcy to banks, if they —attempted to” operate on & gold basis, It would mean that moro than one railway would go into the hunds of a receiver, the first time that interest on bonds defaulted. No railway could ever pay another interest coupon. England is simply seeking to.aictate the financial policy of tho world.” 0. N. Hilton, president of the Law and Ovdor league ‘of Denver, desired to coutra- dict the exaggerated roports of the lynching of Aratta. He said that Colorado was suffering by false reports of anarchy and lawlessness that jeopardized her interests, silver iscluded, but he hoped that peopls would not judge Coloradoans harshly. Hon. Charles S. Thomas, the “tall sy more of the Rooiies,” had evidently heard of Nebraska zephyrs, as_he appeared minus a luxuriant growth of chin whiskers. Mr. Thomas said that the depression in silver, if it continued, would affect the price of ag- vieutturai products, and that cereals might take A drop in the future unless some rehef came to hand. He rogarded Colorado and Nebraski as sister states, one rich in min- ing resources, the other crowned as a queen of agriculturs. Ho hoped that the Chicago couvenion would result in some good for silver.

WOLCOTT BEADY FOK ACTION, He Doclares that the Silver Interests Are in the Fight 10 Win. Cumicaco, July 80. ~Senator E. O, Wolcowy of Colorado is Were gn his way to Washing- ton. Though desiring to be present st the silver convention the senator said he was compelled to go to Washington where the veal battle must be fought.. He has no doubt that free coinage will triumpn at the svocial session, He said: *The deplorable condition of affuirs all through the mining region of the west has sicongthened the determination of the silver peo- ple aud it may become a battle for the - servation of the financlal and commercial in- torests of the west, aad the effect of the crisis there is being felt in the east, and only the establishment of free coinage can save the entire nation from a financial ruin worse than any it has ever expericnced.

Cricaao, July 30, Dplogates to the silver convention arrived sn force today and tho prospects are thit When the convention moets on Tuesday morning 1t will be one of the largest gatherings ot the kind ever as- sembled. Among theso who srrived today wero ex-Congressman H. I, Bartino and T. K. Wren of Novadd, “‘Our delegation will not be a very large one," said Mr. Bartine, ‘‘Senator Stewart will be here tonight and Senator Jones will be here tomorrow. We shall demand freo coinago on a ratio of 110 16." Congressman Sweot of Idaho, who is at the Grand Pacific, expects the delegation from that state to arrive in the morning, headed by Scnators Goorge L. Shoup and Fred T. Dubois, Messrs. Peter Gallagher, Johu D. Pope, T. 8. McConkey and Hugh McPherson of Montana are at the Leland. The delegation from that state will number about 150 and will report at the Montana state building at the World's fair tomorrow. The delogation will bo headed by Senators Powers and Mantle, Governor Toole, ex- Governors Hauser and Ricketts, Congross- man Hartwell and ex-Congressman Dickson. Cost of Mialng Silver, “Every ounce of silver mined in Montana this year has cost $1.00," said Mr Gallagher, “‘and we msist upon the 1 to 16 ratio.’ The 400 Iowans who will come in on n spe- clal train tomorrow mornig will be quar- tered at the Great Northern hotel. Senator Stewart of Nevada is tho most mentioned for permanent chairman by the western people. but a growing sentiment has developed in favor of Gieneral Warneras permanent chairman, fear boing entertained that if a western man is made chairman an impression will go abroad that the conven- tion is beinz managed wholly in the interest of western mine owners, and for this reason many of the delegates favor General Warner or some other castern man. The convention wiil be of special interest in the character of its composition and in the addresses to be delivered. 1t isum.ux‘n sted, so far as tho delegates here vonight are aware, that any recommendation will be made to congress for action. While some of the westorn and oastern men talk freely as to what ought to be done, it is asserted that a number of those expected to be present and conspicuous in tke proceedings are disposed to ficht shy of the affair until they ascertuin what elements aro to con- trol. Ono delogato said that tho fact of all industrinl orgamiza- tions being invitad to sond reports would ro- quire a declaration from the convention, or ut loast from the committee on credentials, as to what coustitutes a body authorized to send delegates. Ho gave an intimation that tho “gang” which broko up tho silver meot- ing in New York would be represented hero by congenial spirits, and that there might be a repetition of the scenes of confusion and disorder that marked tho castern gath- ering. Some of the Colorado men do not want Governor Waite to talk in the conven- tion for fear of his intemperato and injudi- cious language. Carter Hatrlson Wil Preside. Cieaao, July 80.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bre.]—A storyis in circulation tonight that Mayor Harrison will be chuirman of tho bimetallic cotivertion. Furthermore, the rumor goes to tlje offect that the Chicago Times will hereaftar bethe official organ of the free silver men aud the barty, if one is organized. ASs to thodlvst decluration Carter is noncommittal. 4o, dociares that there is to be no change an the Times' financlal volicy, but as his nawspaper has always been suspedted of freo goinage tendencics, thero is not much informption in its editor's asser- tions. FAIR ATTENDANCE SMALL. Only About Twolyb Thousand People Wore at the White Clty Yesterds, Cuicaco, July 80:—The World's fair was open to the publie’ today-—that {s, the gates were open, but they might as well have been closed, as the public did not seem to care to take advantaga of tho fact. Not since the fair has boen open has the attundance been s0 smull us today. The grounds, Midway plaisance ana all were vractically deserted. The total attendance up to 8 o'clock, includ- ing employes and concessionsires, was scarcely 10,000, and tho officials at the burcau of admissions did not think the total for the entire day and evening would run over 12,000, if that many. The grounds had much the same appear- anceas they had last Sunday when the gates wero closed. , Nearly all the stato buildings were closed, sud so were many of thio structures cotaining exhibits, and in the buildings that were open a large portion of tho exhibits wero covered up so they could mot be seen. All the restaurants, cigar stands and drinking water fountains were closed. There was no attompt on the part of the World’s fair management to muke things attractive to visitors, There was no music or attraction of any variewy beyond the beauties and the grandeur of the White City itseif. There were no religious exercises, and many of the shows along vhe Midway plaisance had placards tacked up on tho entrances anuouncing Yo the few strageling visivors that there would be no performance today. And the shows thut had the hardihood to open played to scanty houses. The patronuge was scarcely large enough o pay running expenses. — Fireworks tomorrow, Courtland beach. L) FOREIGN FINANCIAL REVIEW, Seottlement Last Weok One of the Worst of Recent Yours. Loxnoy, July 30.—During the last two weoeks the rate for long discount has been 2 per cent, for short discount one-half of 1 per cent, It is understood that $2,000,000 of gold will be shipped within the next two weeks to the United States, and that several mil- lions more will be sent over before the end of the year. ‘Tne settloment last week was the worst one of recent years. Of the ten failures, ho vever, but one was imporsant, Two of the failing firms paid 20s on the pound, Business has been almost suspended. The dealings were couflned to a few investment socuritic Yesterday an easler feeling as rogards the future was noticeable.

EASTERY BANKS VICTIMIZED Forged Elovator Oortificatss Used to Steal More Than a Million. HOW A HUGE CONSPIRACY WAS UNEARTHED Northern Paciflo Klovator Company of Minnesota Placed In the Hands of ® Recelver as a Result of the Deal, New Yorg, July 80.—Tho World's Boston special says that a hugo conspiracy has been unearthod, whereby saventy-three banking institutions in New England were victim- 1z0d. The story is to tho offect that certain employes of the Northern Pacific Elevator company of Minnesota issued $1,500,000 worth of forged duplicate certifieates tor grain in storage in the “country” elovato ownod by the concern, whero the inspection is not 8o strict as at the terminal clevators. Those forged certificates were deposited with the Bastern binks as collateral. About 8500,000 was secured in New England and the balance in New York. Some of the eastern holders of paper be- came suspicious, and on an investigation being made the true state of affairs camo to light. The stockholders of theolevator com- pany were dumfounded when the facts came to their notice and offers of settloment with the banks were at once made and torms of compromise offered. Reorgamized the Compriny. The company was then reorganized as the Lake Superior Klovator company, with George Cook, secretary of David Dows & Co., New York, as president. The torms offered to the bank were 60 per cent cash, the re- maindor to be paid in five annual payments, A commivtee of bankers whose institutions old largely of the cortificates was ap- pointed to consider the proposition, Tt is impossible to say exactly what coarse ‘the bankers will pursue, as they are loth to talk. and, in fact, thoy bave done all in their power to keep the whole affair from the public. The few who do say anything—and they are very few—admit that they have been swindled, and declare that the swin- dlers ought to bo sent to prison. At the samo time they say that good business pol- icy under present conditions forbids such sevore aotion, especially as the stockholders of the elevator company are ready to muke a comproinise settlement, The Northern Pacific Elevator company is now in the hands of a roceiver, the frauds of its employes having wiped out its exist- ence. Among the New England banks swindled are nearly all the state institutions here, which were hit heavily, banks at Portland, Me., and various banks in the towns about Boston. NEW YORK BANK SWINDL Colonel D. C. Robinson of Eimira, N. Y., Imposed on His Friends. New York, July 30.—The Herald tells an interesting story in connection with the El- muira Natioual bank of Elmira, N. Y. After the failure, three notes aggregating £54,000 turned up among the assets. All of them a New York date and all were made on the same day. One was for 817,000, made payable on demand to the order of tho El miva National bank and signed by George R. Israel, and the others made in the same form wero signed, the first for $19,000 by H S. Roll, and the second for 215,000 by 1. M. Mollenhauer. These notes, it is stated, wero deposited in the Elmira National bauk by Jolonel D. C. Robinson, mayor of that city and a son of the late ex vernor Lucius Robinson, and discounted by Cashier Bush. Colonel Robinson was a large stockholder in the bank. The identity of the signers of the threo notes wus a matter of the decpest mystery. Bank ofticials came to Now York to learn Who they were and the oxtent of their finan- clal responsibility, but their names could not be located in New York or Brooklyn directories or in tho rutings of commercial agencies. At last their identity has devel- oped. They are clerks in the banking house of Isaac B. Newcomb & Co., in the United Trust building. Not a single one of them has a dollar outside of a clerical sulary. They signed the notes at the request of Colonel Robinson. Thay did it on their own responsibility and simply to accommodate the colonel, whom they believed to be a millionaire. "They never oxpected to pay the notes and probably they never will. EN THOUSAND.

COMPROMISK VERDICT. Some Tdes of the Laciwton of Son Commission, New Yonx, July 80 —The World's Paris cable says neo the closing of the argu- ments i the Boring sea case the arbitrators have been sitting as regularly as before at the foreign ministry endeavoring to agree upon a decision. While it is impossible to tell when they will announce their decision a general idea of what that decision will ba may bo given with reasonable assurance of its ac- ouracy. ‘The arbitrators will decido that pelagic sealing shodld be restricted so as to prevent the extinction of tho fur soal spe- cies. But they will not givo to Americans the full property rights in the hord which are ciaimed. The question of damages is understood to be the one which is ohiefly bothering the Inbors of the arbitrators. The speculation as to the time of anuouncing the decision based on the fact that Senator Morgan had announcod his devarture for August 5, is not trustworthy, He has changed his date to August 19, and says ho is not sure he can got away then, Tor DETHRONED A4 ¥ LERAN'S " Porrswovra, 0., July 80.—~Sccretary Hoko Smith was hung in ofgy by vhe enraged ciul. s of Rome, a little town of Adams county, Saturday night.

At 11 o'clock Preston was captured eleven miles from Gaston and was taken to tho scenc of tho early morning tragedy.
