RAIN SPOILED THE COURTS stonday's Deluge, Supplemented by Yester- day’s Drouching, Stopped Tennis Playing. MAY START THE MATCHES TOMORROW If Thers 1a Sunshine Enough Today the Grounds Can e Gotten Into Conditl Visiting Players Disappointed a the Fostponment. Thers was no play in the state tennis tournament yesterday, and as far as present appearances o none will be possible today. Yesterday morning the courts on Harney street were so soft from Monday's rain that it was at once seen that it would need a hot sun to get them futo good condition even by today; but the rain of yesterday afternoon and the dampness that still pervaded the airafter the rain stopped makes it next to impossible that the courts will have dried sufficiently for play even by tonight. The committee is exceedingly disappointed atthe turn events have taken, butis de- termined to make a start just as soon as it becomes practical. Every preparation had been made for yesterday, the players were all on hand, some of them having come from towns in distant parts of the state. Itis hoved that all ot these will be abie to re- main in Omaha until vhe event is concluded, though it is quite likely now that that may not be until the middle of next week.

St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York, Fillod to Overflowing on the Ocension. New Youx, Aug. 15.—Pontifical mass was celevrated at 10 o'clock this morning in St. Patrick’s cathedral by Archbishop Sutolli, the papal representative in this country. In the Catholic church the day was the feast of the Assumption of the Virein Mary. Abovi all the presence of the apostolic delegato brought to the cathedral one of the largest crowds ever gathered within it. After pushing, shoving, elbowing and surg- ing to and fro in the aisles for half an hour the crowd decided to take possession of tho pews. Men and women alike discarded all propriety. Men vaulted into the seats whose doors were locked and pulled their femalo friends after them, Archbishop Satolli sat upon the throne at unctuary, On either sido of the left of t} papal delegato st00d a priost, who waite upon him, removing and replacing his ha prescribed moments in the mass and hand- ing to him the vessels used in the celebra- tion of the mass and the book from which he intoned. The mass was elaborate, long and_impres- sive. The address of Archbishop Corrigan was the event of the morning. His words were listened to with almost breathless silence by tho great th Archbishop Cor bishop took a solemn oath to be f: obedient]to Peter, the apostic, and the Ron church, to tha sovereign pontiff of the time being, and to his legitimate successors. Ho then sketehed the decrees of the different ceumenical couneils which enforced obedi- ence by the prelates of the church to the holy see, and said he re- lled these” fundamental principles of church government so that all might more fully appreciate the honor conferred by the presence of the most reverend represent tives of the holy father. He commented upon the loyalty of the church in America to the holy see and said it was humiliating that it should be necessary for him to deny the charge that he bad been disloyal. He hoped the attacks which had been made upon him had been inspired by ignorance rather than by malice. _He could say, at any rate, with his Divine Master: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” In con: clusion he extended a welcome to the apos- tolic delegate. - e CENTRAL LABOR UNION. New Quartors at Clty Hall Occupied for the First Time Last Evening. The members of Central Labor union con- gregated last night ia the large room on the fifth floor of the city hall, which was put at the disposal of that organization by the city couneil two weeks ago after repeated ef- forts by labor representatives to obtain this privilege ‘Tho arguments used wore that 12,000 work- ingmen in the city, a large proportion of whom were taxpayers, ought to beaccorded what was termed this right. and so the ciy fathers yielded to the request. The meeting called for last night appeared to be more for the purpose of making the members acquainted with the new location and show them the advantages of the new quarters rather than to consider grave ques- tions affecting labor inerests. No specches were made or worlk performed beyond the election of soveral chairmen and secretaries for four or five different commit- tees. To this end the members of the latter gathered in little groups, and in fitteen min- utes or more the whole matter of baptizing the new hall was consummated.

AUGUST 16 NORTHERN PACIFIC TROUBLES Recoivers for the Road Appointed by the United States Courts, WHY SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN Vice President Willlama Tells the Story of the Company's Embarrassment—Hurd Times and the Monetary Strin. genoy Somo of the Causes New Yonrk, Aug. 15.—Thomas F. Oakes of New York, H. C. Payne of Milwaukee, and Henry Crouse, president of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad company, wero this afternoon appointed receivers for the Northern Pacific railroad in the United States court of this city. Viee Prosident Williama' Story. Vice President Williams of the Northern Pacific says: *In consequence of the extra- ordinary depression of business and the stobpage of shipments along the line of the Northern Pacific railroad, the compan has been foreed to acquiesce in an appli tion ~ for receivers. No company could long stand such severo pre su The falling off in__earning 18 owing to several causes. The monoy stringenby prevents the marketing of crops, cattle and products of all kinds; conse: quently the road is not getting the tr usual to this season of the year. The f ure of banks tied up_money upon which wo depended for cash. The depression prevail- ing over the wholo country is exceptionally seqere in the younger states, so generd business along our main and branch lines is practically at a stankstill. The re- ceivership means the preservation of the property and the conscrvation of all intercsts until better times, The road has domonstrated in the past what its carning capacity really is. and when pros- perous times return the revenues of the company will agam more than exceed the expectations of those interested m the property. The original bill was filed by the Larmers Loan and Trust company and otber creditors and_stockholders in the district court of the United States for Wisconsin, and the appointments were made there to- day. Auxillary bills were filed m New Yorl, Tllinois, Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon and the samo persons appointed receivers in cach separate Jurisdiction.” Another Explanation. From an ofticial source it is learncd that the main cause for the appointment of the receiver, is that the guarantee syndicate, or certain members of it, fuiled to make good their subscriptions, alleging that they had been misled as to the actual condition of the property. Simee the completion of the Manitoba road to the Pacific coast, the com- pauy has had a hard struggle. For instance, rnings in July were only decrease for the” month of pared with the same month in 154 ouse,who wus appointed one of the it _is understood, represents the Standard’ Oil party which has the lavgest intorest in the - property. ‘The North Amer company has not sacrificed its orthern Pacific “holdings and expects to weather the storm. ONE.FARE RATES, Western Ronds Conxdering the Advis- ability of Trying an Experimont. Crieaco, Aug. 15.—At Thursday's meeting of the Western Passengerassociation will be considered the plan of trying a week of on fare rates for the round trip. The managers of the World's fair have beeu trying for some time to get the roads to make the ex- periment for one weel only, and the western ads will talk over the plan and malke the 1. The points affected will bo thesc Wiscgnsin, Michigan, Illinois, lowa and In- diana! Nearly all tho easpern lines are taking lib- erties with the prevailing World’s fair rates, and the reason why no specific complaint has been made is that nearly all the lines are in it und caunot,with good grounds, complain of their competitors. The agreement of the Ohio river lines to raise rates on August 21 is likely to be at- tended with some trouble. “The Lake Irie & Western was, in the original _agreement, a #2.50 differential between Chicago and Indianapolis. Now it de it will make the differential $4.05. This will knock the proposed agreement nto splinters. The Chicago & West Michigan road today. decided to pass a dividend for the prosent. Earnings of the Chicago & Northwestorn for the yeur ending May 31 show a decroase in the net carnings of 70,000, No Reason for the DeNvER, Aug. 15.—It ha here that a certain New York paper has cir- culated a report purporting to come from an ex-president of the Denver & Rio Grande railrond, to the effect that that company would be in the hands of iver inside of two weeks. The prophe sod upon the comparison of the August, oarnings with this y veceipts, which show a.de- Kumor, been learned crease of several hundred thousand dollars. President B. 1. Jeffrey of the Rio Grande was scen tonight and emphatically denied that there was any probability of a receiver being appointed. ‘There has, of course, been a decrense this year in the earnings, but when the fact that the conclave of last y swelled the receipts enormously is cons ered, 1t will be seen that the discrepancy is not as great as supposed. The road ha bond interest to pay until November. It is in good condition and there Is no reason for the rumor.

GTHE CHINESE MU GO Unemployed Whites of California Rise Against Mongolian Laborers, SAN Fraxcisco, Aug. 15.—The crusade against Chinese laborers has been started in the San Joaquin valley and seems to be spreading over the state. Owing to the financial troubles a large number of white men are out_of work, while many Chinese are employed steadily on the ranches and in the vineyvards. In scveral piaces tne white men have held meetings and notified the Chinese that they must make room for white laborers. Many of the ranch owuers have decided to discharge their Chinese help and employ whites. Serious riots have been narrowly averted 1n several place: At «Selma, & small town near Fresno, white men notified the Chinese that they must leave town and make room for white laborers, At Fresno yesterday unemployed men to the number of over 500 held a moet- ing and paraded through the streets de- nouncing the Chinese. The crowd started toward Chinatown where 2,000 Chinese re- side, but were diverted from their purpose by cool headed citizens. The merchants avd vineyardists of I'resno held a meeting and many of them announced that they would aischarge their Chinese help and employ white labor. One man took thirty white men on the spot and marched them off to his vineyard, Another announced that he,in a few days, would have work for 200 men. Thus far there ha: been no violence and it looks as if the unem- ployed white men in the San Joaquin valley would displace Chinese labor. e — Leuvenmark dives wnight, Courtland. —————— Chleago's Unewployed.
