FIGHTING MAXIMUM RATES Another Twist Taken in the Complieations Against the Measure, RESULT OF LANCASTER LITIGATION Meply of the Missourl Pacific to the Petl- tion of the Lineoln Merchants on the Subject—Prefer Federal Jarisdiction | LixooLy, Aug. 10.—[Special to Tre Ber.)— Another twist was taken in the complications which surround the efforts of the siate Buthoritios to put the new maximum rate Jaw into effect by the attorneys of the Mis- souri Pacific who went into the district court With a petition for the removal of the case fustituted by the wholesale merchants of this city to the United States courts, Some weeks since, and before the Newberry bill was hung up by the injunction taken out by the stockholders, the wholesale merchants of this city became alarmed at the possibility of the raiiroads anolishing the interstato rates which have enabled theCapital City men to compete with Omahs and other Missouri river points. They accordingly coured the services of Hon. G. M. Lambert- #on and applied to the district court of Lan- Ea-urm\mly for an injunction to prevent hie railrouds from abolishing the interstate Yates, Today the attornoys of the Missouri Pa- eifio, one of the railroads involved in the in- t\lm‘uun procecdings, flled with tho clerk of he district court a demurrer to the original tition on the grounas thatit does not state 'acts sufficient to constitute a cause of ac- tlon; that the causes are improperly joined because there is a defect of the parties plain- Af1; that the plaintiff has no legal right to #uo and that the district court has no juris- diction of the subject matter involved. In this demurrer the Burlington joined. Want the Case Removed. In addition to the demurror another poti- tion was filed by tho attorney for the Mis- souri Pacific asking that tha entire case might be removed to the United States cir- cuit court, for the roason that tho amount of money involved in the controversy exceeds £2,000; that the controversy is of a civil hature arising under tho federal constitu- tion in that 1t involves the construction of an act of cong: passod on Febraary 4, 1857, and that it is an attempt_to enjoin the company from putting into offect or force certain rates, as a Common carr known as interstate rates, which it is alleged are in violation of the act of congress approved July 2, 1890, The petition further alleges that the plaintiffis (meaning the Lin- coln wholesale chants) base their rights to the 1 ayed for solely upon the construction of the two acts of congress roferrod to and that the contro- versy involves a_construction of said ac It is further asserted that the controversy, Bs between the Missouri Pacific and the Burlington, is scparable and can be disposed of as to the Missouri Pacific without the presence of a co-dofendant. The_ petition was accompanicd by a bond for 1,000 with C. C. Burr of this city as surcty for the pay- ment of all costs if it shall be determined that the case s improperly removed from the district to the United States courts. Taken to Omaha, Doc Blanchard, the smooth young man ar- rested in this city last night upon the charg of grand larceny, proferred by Omaha, pa ties, was taken to the metropolis this mor: ing by Officor Dempsey.

Many of them he had pushed w0 advanced stages of completion, but they failed. Among them are the following: To reimburse the state of Nebraska for expenses incurred in repelling the Sioux invasion of 1800-01; for the issue of ordnance stores and sup- plies to Nebraska to replace similar stores Qostroyed by fire; for the reliet of Thomas Fletcher Foley, alias Thoma Fyetcher, Brigadier General John R.

Haynes; extend- ing relief to Indian citizens and for other purposes; for tho retirement of John Te: ny, Ninth cavalry, U. S. A, and to estab- ish postal savings banks and to encourage small savings, The senator also introduced two important financial mensures which were drafted by Prosident Henry W. Yates of the Nebraska National bank of Omaha. One directs the socretary of the treasury to purchase silver bullion at any time, the price paid to be de- termined from time to time by a mint com- mission and to issue in payment for such purchases silver bullion notes of the United States, which shall be redeemable on demand in coin at tho treasury or any of its mints in_silver bullion at the price estab- lished by the mint commission, and when so redeemcd may be reissued, such treasury notes to be a legal tender for the payment of all debts, and when held by any bank asso- ion o be counted as a part of its legal vo. Wasmiwetrox Bureav or Tar Bll,} Further Provisions, The bill provides for the appointment of a mint commission by the president, which shall meet in Washington as often as its duties may require, to ascertain tho market or commercial value of silver, and to fix the price for the government. The commission isto submit for the consideration of con- ss a rovised coinage plan. ho other bill, which was drafted by Mr. Yates, provides that the secretary of the troasury shall receive at not more than par value, clearing house certificates issued by clearing house associations of central re- serve citics under the currency act, when the same shall be presenged in $1,000, or mul- tiples thereof, and issue in payment of such purchases ' treasury notes.

The clearing house certificates purchased are to be made payable on demand, draw interest at not loss thau 6 per cent per anuum and shall not be issued in an amount to oxceed the aggregate capital of the banks that are members of tho associntion issuing tho same. The banks forming the Clearing Houso association are Jjointly liable for the payments of the certifi- cates issued by them, bu: they shall have the privilege of redecming them at any time. In vresenting the lattectwo bills Senator Manderson stated to_the scuate that they were prepared by o fnancier of pronounced ability and that they deserved the consider- ation of our ablest statesmen. South Dakota Courts, Senator Kyle introduced a_bill today pro- viding new ‘terms of the United States cir- cuit and district courts in South Dakota. It provides that the district court shail be divided mto four divisions, to be known as the northern, southern, central and western divisions. that the counties of Yankton, Turner, Lincoln, Bon Homme, Charles, Doug: las, Hutchinson, Brule, Autora, Davidson, Hansen, McCook, Minnehaha, Moody, Lake, Sanburn, Lyman, Miner, Gregory, Todd and the Yankton Indian reservition shall con- stitute the southern division, the court for which shall hold at Sioux Fails.

There is a provision that pind- ing cases shall be transferred from one di- vision to unother so as toconform to the proposed new law. Material for Omaha's Postotfice, Senator Manderson stated to Tue Ber cor- respondent today that tomorrow he would call upon the supervising architect of the troasury in reference to materials to be used in the Omaha public building. The senator nad a conference with Mr. O'Rourke re- cently and urged upon him the necessity of visiting Omaha with a view to learning upon the ground the needs with respect to materials, but Mr. O'Rourke stated that he huad so many things to look after in connection with the Chicago build- ing that he could not visit Omaha at that time. Senator Manderson's intended visit to the supervising architect is in connection with the subject of material for the general superstructure. ‘Lhe senator says that granite should be used 1 the constriotion of the building, as he believes it will be much moro serviceable and handsomer than any kind of sandstone, Bryan's Sliver Bid, William Jennings Bryan, the Lincoln rep- rescutative of the Firs. Nebraska district, addressed the house this afternoon on the proposed repeal of the silver purchasing act. Mr. Bryan was at his best, oratorically speaking, and was glven as fair an audience as any man who has spoke upon the free coinage of lvor. hll voice filled the great 1 of the house of r :sentatives and there was con- siderable interest manifested in his personal views ubon the subject, as it is generally known in Washinglon that the democrats of Nebraska are opposed to the findividual views of the renresentative of the First dis- trict, besides there was considerable curic ity entertained as o what Bryan would say, in the face of the recent message of Presi- dent Cleveland demanding unconditional re- ye.nl and the open opposition of silver by {on. J. Sterling Morton., . My, Bryan was very outspoken in fayor of the unhmited coinage of silver, declaring that aud stream would be more uniform and reliable in its supply if it had more than one source. Mr. Bryan's flighis of oratory were not frequently interrupted. members gen- erally preferriug to watch bis graceful gestures and well modulated voice rather than interrupt him with questions. A few times, however, Mr. Harter of Ohio, who is @ gold stundard democrat, cross-questioned Mr. Bryan oa his kunowledge of financial history. ‘The reprosentative of the First district had his speech well committed and it must be said to his credit that he delivered it in good form aud made as good an impression a8 it was possible for haw to make with the DAY subject at hand.

Whitney, the well known authority on international law, who has also made a special study of the Bering sea question, said yesterday: “It was absurd to claim the result in any sense a victory in even the smallest and most miserable degree. It was in fact a most potent defeat. The American right of dominion in Bering sea and exclusive control of the seal fisheries within the geograph- ical limits of the cession from Russia was oclear and indisputable. In reason and right there was nothing to arbitrate.” Mr. Whitney severely censured Clove- land's and Harrison’s administrations for allowing the matter to go to arbitration und not standing out boldly for American rights and honor. Canadians Dissutiafied, Orrawa, Ont,, Aug. 10.—Nono of the Canadian ministers cared to say anything on the Bering sea decision. There seems w0 be considerable dowbt in government depart- ments whether the decision in England’s favor is veally satisfactory. There appears a possibility of the Umted States having really gained the main point of vantage as far as Canadians are concerned. 1f it is true that sealing is prohibited on the Pribiloy islands, then this richest field is closed to Canadian seale London 58 Claims Victory, LoxpoN, Aug. 16.—The leading morning papers in their editorials on the Bering sea decision argue that the decision isa plain victory for Great Britain.

The attractions at Courtland beach last evening were very fine and drew a good- sized crowd. The usual balloon ascension took place, and the Bicketts, William and Minnle, in their fine aerial performance, received well earned applause, but the big feature of the ovening at the beach was the high dive made by Leuvenmark, the little Swede, who is the chamvion high diver of the world. He made a record of eighty fect three and three-quarters inches at Kansas City on June 1891, and at the same place on August 28, 1892, he beat his own record by diving eighty-two feel. Last evening o tower had boen erected on top of the spring board platform in the lake and Leuvenmark climbed on top of this sixty-three-foot pile of lumber for his leap for life. He surveyed the surroundings aud finally retired to the r2ar of the platform, and taking a run of some fifteen feet jumped head foremost intospace, while the ‘crowd below looked on with amazement, watching him every instant uatil He struck the water. After leav- ing the tower his body occupics a horizontal position until within a few feet of the water. Leuvenmark then suadenly turns and with the palms of both hands to- gether over his head ho enters the water, making a perfect dive. 1t was a thrilling sight, without the horrifying features ususl 1o exhibitions of this character. In an in- stant he appearcd again on the surface of the water, apparently none the worse off. It was a great feat perfectly performed, Leu- venmark makes another dive tonight, and with all the other attractions, including the Bicketts, the crowd in all probability will be fully as lurge, if not larger, than that of last night.
