() Peaffer of Kansas offered n free coinage amendment. With some slight éxceptions it rovives the law of 1837, Mr. Peffer then resumed his speech against the bill. In the course of his speech Mr, Peffer raferred to the change of attitude ob the silver question on the part of Messrs. Voorhees and Gordon. Mr. Turpie of Indiana immediately called him to order for referring to senators by name. The chair sustained the point of order, ruling that a senator should be spoken of as the junior or senjor senator from the state he in part represented. Mr. Peffer followed the ruling of the chair and proceeded with his speech until 5:15, when, upon the resolu- tion of Mr. Faulkner, the senate took a re- cess until 10 0'clock tOMOrTow. FURTHER COMPLICATIONS, Demoeratio Senntors Not Yet Agreed on n Substitute for the Repeal 1 WasmiNetox, Oct. 20.—It looked at 4 o'clock today as if the terms of the demo- oratic compromise on the repeal bill had been settled. At5 o'clock the situation was slightly changed, and it became apparent at once thero wasn obstacle inthe way of bringing the matter to a climax. ‘The demo- cratlo steering committee had resumed its sittings promptly after the close of the ex- ecutive session, and it was given out that the only purpose of the meeting was to put the finishing touches on tho substitute, which had practically been agreed upon Some of the membors of the committee felt 80 certain of results that they promised the republican members of the senato a copy of the bill for inspection before the adjourn- ment of the senate. While this copy was not fortheoming, senators who had retained their seats i the senate chamber left, feel- g confident that the mensure would be concluded and ready for presentation to- morrow. . Evidences of a Tite At 5 o'clock Senator Gorman camo out of the room where the committee had been ea- gaged and sent a messenger flying for some ono. He looked puzzied and disappointed, and declared nothing was scttled. Soon the word went around that_there was a “hitch” in the proceedings. Such, indeed, was the case. There was a disagreement over the bond feature and also over the time at which tho repeal of the Sherman act should take offect. It appears that the adminisura- tion forces of the committee discovered when the clauses of the proposed bill deal- ing with these points was reached, that they could not accept them as ‘provided in the document. 1t is understood the draft of the bill taken under considération fixed the time when repeal should take offect as the 1stof January, 1895, changed the authoriza- tion for bonds to 8 per cent interest and re- duced the time limit on the bonds to from five to thirty years, instead of from ten to forty, as at present provided, and confined their use to the preservation of the parity of gold and silver. From information received from others than members of the committee, but men who have the best means of knowing, it1s considered probable the administi members of the committee tried to h: time for the expiration of the Sherman law fixed at the Ist of July, 1804. The same authority asserted the treasury officials had said earlier in the day that if the purchases of silver bullion should cease on July of next year 1t would be possible to preserve the barity without any action whatever upon the bond question, and as some of the staunchest of the repeal democrats, who are members of the committee, are opposcd to the bond proposition it is probable that the effort of tonight was in the direction of re- ducing the time of the future existence of the present law and the elimination of the bond proposition altogether. id Not Reach an Agrecment. The commuttee remained insession until 6:15, but instead of having completed u bill t0 hand to the republican_side of the cham- ber the conference camo to an end without reaching any agreement at all and with the question undecided, but with the under- standing that anothier effort would be made, probably tomorrow Some of the silver democrats have said if their party steering committee did not reach a conclusion by Monday they would j with the republicans and pass Mr. Quay's amendment, which extends the Sherman law until January 1, 1808, or a year. longer than the best that is offered to the silver men by the demcel ¢ bill. On the other hana, Senator Hill says he has already re- celved assurance of a large vote for his pro- posed cloture resolution on the democratic sido ns soon as it becomes upparent the steering committee caanot agree. The out- look is, therefore, for lively times and un- certain results if the committee does not agree on a bill at an early date. VAN ALEN GETS THERE, His Nomination Confirmed by the Senate by # Vote ot 39 to 22, WasHINGTON, Oct. 20.—The executive scs- sion of the senate today was devoted wholly to the cousideration of udinations, and there were about 100 taken up and passed upon. The ouly one of them which created more than passing notico vas that of Mr. Van Alen, to represent this government at Rome. As expected the debute upon this nomination was animated, and the result was o division in the vole almost upon party lines. Senator Hill, who had been expected to take an active part in opposing tho nomination, contented himself in voting agamnst con- firmation, but made no speech upon the sub- ject. Several republicans, including Sena- tors Teller and Dolph, spoke against con- firmation and several democrats, among whom wore the leading members of the committee.on foreign relations, spoke in Mr. Van Alen's defense. ‘The vote on Van Alen’s confirmation was: Yeas—Aldrich, ~Bate, Herry, Blackburn, Brico, Butler, ‘Caflery, Camden, Cameron, Coke, Davis, Dixon, Faulkner, Frye, Gibson, Gorman, Gray.

ALLISON ON THE SITUATION, Thinks the Demoorats Must Get Together to Acoomplish Anything. Dunvque, Oct. 20.—[Special Telogram to T Ber. | —Senator Allison was interviewed concerning tho probable action of the senate on the Voorhoes measuré today. He said that unless the democrats reach an agree- ment «mong themselves there is no prospect ofia vote, and as adjournment would o good, the extra_session will continue intv the regular. Then cloture may be applied nd a vote reached. Ho declared that there are parliamentary precedents for such a proceeding, and if there are no senate prece- dents it is because the senate has never be- fore exporienced the situation which now confronts it. The proposition of the silver senators for a den ratic caucus was ex- traordinary, he thought, in thal it_was pro- posed to oind all participants by its action Mills very properly rejected the proposition, for 1t is ' mot customury or proper to sub- ordinate the judgment of a senator to the dictation of a caucus. Mills might very properly, as he proposed to do, enter a conference with @ view to un agreement. *1 bave read nce leaving Washington,” he continued, “a statement that the demo- crats have agreed upon a plan.

Discussion of the Unemployed ot Omaha. The weekly discussions of the Current Topie club, which aroused considerable in- terest last winter, were inaugurated for the coming season at the Young Men's Christian association rooms last evening. There was a good attendance, and the discussion was of unusual interest. The first work of the evening was the review of the principal gvents of the week by Major Halford. The speaker referred to the visit of the Russian fleev to France und touched briefly on the diplonatic meaning ot the demonstration. The causes of the South American revolu- tion were detailed and mention made of thae International Arbitration congress to con- vene in The Netherlands next spring and the recent abolition of slavery in Bolivia. Following this the question of the even- ing, *“The Duty of Patrioti¢ Citizens to the Uuemployed,” was taken up, Mr: C, S. Lo- bengier was the first speaker. He ook the eround that the state owed a auty to the unemployed in self-protection. It was when there was vhe greatest number of idle men that the welfare of the state was wmost in jeopardy. He advocated the or; tion of a comprehensive labor agency, under state control, whicn could do much toward tributing labor and preventing it from con- Hesting in certain localities. He also thought that the state should institute profitable public enterprises which would afford em- ployment to many, Rev. A. W, Clark said that tho number of unemployed in Omuha at present was very large and the prospects were that 1t would be larger in midwinter. He ved that when money was appropriated for public improvements the demand for as ance ut once began to fall off. But the r was only temporary and as soon as the provements wore completed matters went back to the old stundpoint. Many of the men who were seeking employment were embarrassed by lack of sympathy. Patriotic citizens could help in some degree by treat- ing them with courtesy when they called at their places of business to seek employment. He detailed several plans for affording em- ployment to the needy during the winter, chief of which were the rock yard and the wood yurd. Judge Berka and others participated in the subsequent discussion, after which the question was summed “up by Rev. Dr. Duryea. . Sheldon's Wheel Stolen. .An Ariel bicycle belonging to Gymnasium Instructor Sholdon of the Young Men's Christian association was stolen from ln front of the building last night.

Chairman Caldwell today handed down a ights of members of local ssociations to vote in meetings. T'ne mattes came up through the Colorado Ticket Agents asociation. One point was whether a road was entitled to a vote for every office it pos sessed 1 the assoviation territory: another whether, in the hearing of charges, the ac- cuser and accused were entitled to vote, and another whether & member can vote when not an actual handler of tickets. It was do a line could have but one vote, though a dozen representatives of the lme could bo present al a moeting; that parties 10 a charge cannot vote on thoe charge, and that a voter need not necessarily be a direct handler of tickets, RIGHTS OF RECEIVERS. Further Complications Recent Union Pacitic Chnuges, There has been considerable discussion | among attorneys for the several railroads centering in Omaha as to just what power the receivers of the Union Pacific have under the decretal order of the federal court regarding contracts made by the board of directors previous to the filing of the bill of complaint asking for receive In conjunction with the discus power vested in_the receivers, the kee-Rock ‘Arising Out of n of thy Milwau- and lease of the Union Pacific bridge and terminals has received very caro- ful attention from the sources most inter- ested in the carrying out of the contracts, General Manager Dickinson speaking of these particular contracts was of the opinion tire Rock [sland_and Milwaukee had vested rights in the Union Pacitic company which could not be abrogated by the me whim of the receivers. I"rom his knowlec of such matters he thought the only way that contracts might be abrogated rested entirely with the Rock [sland and Milwaukee com panies, the Union Pacific not being allowed to breathe under Judge Brower's decree. He said: “The Rock Island and Milwaukee, as [ understand thesituation,could grautthe same rights in the use of the bridge and terminals us they now enjoy to other companic: Union Pacific being powerless to resist the muking of such contracts on the part of the lessees. Of course it is hardly likely that the Rock Island or the Milwaulkee will ask for the termination of sthe contract under existing conditions. As for the Northwestern contract, I believe the re- ceivers could abrogate {t.as it is only a trafiic agreement, but expedicncy would not sanc- tion it. Thh contract Is mutually satisfac- tory 1o both roads, and the receivers will al ow thinzs to go along as bafore.” The reporter then asked Mr. Dickinson what cffect the appointment of receivers would have upon the contract with the gov- ernment_regarding the transporiation of mails. For many years the Union Pacific has carried the mails of the government, in some cases the expenses almost touching the | $1,000,000 mark per year. The government nas heretofore received half of the amount in purt payment of the iuterest due the gen- cral state on the bonds of the company, turning the other half over to the company. ] should imagine,” said Mr. Dickinson, “that the same condition of affairs would prevail as in vthe past. The receivers will not do anything to antagonize the govern- ment 1 its legitimate handling of the property for the best interests of all con- cerned.” Judge Kelly when seen in rogard to the | Milwaukee-Rock Island bridge contra stated that it hardly rose to the diguity of a vested right, but until some new decren or notification was made in the order of Judge Brewer things would go on the same as now. The Milwaukee-Rock Island has been appealed to the supreme court of the United States and wiil probably be reached next March or April. Until a new decree is made the Milwaukee and Rock Island have the same right to use and enjoy the bridge as the company which built it.”” “Will you ask for any more orders from tho court affecting the reccivers?’ “No, we shall not go before the court with any new bill except to ask his honor for an order in several minor particulars regarding time checks and other purely routine fea- tures.” CAUSES OF WRECKS. Local Raflway Men Disouss the Recent Catustrophes on the Eastern Koads, Eastern roads have been exceedingly un- fortunate during the past month in the num- ber of aisasters und wrecks and wide discus- sion is goiug on as to the reason for these horrors. Western roads on the contrary have been most favored in handling Worid's fair travel and beyond several freight wrecks which have delayna travel the com- panies are coming out of the Chicago crowds with colors flying. Mr. Chavles Keanedy of the Rock Island when asked for a réason for the terrible ac- cidents on eastern roads said: “Iv is largely due to overwork on the part of train crew: The increased business has uecessitated putting on many men who while not incom- vetent, are not first class men, and accidents occur which ate directly traceable 1o the long hours the men have to put in. Last week an engineer on the Rock Island r fused o go out on his engine because ho was not in a condition to make the run, because he had come in but a few hours pefore. Naturally he was excused. Had the com- pany insisted on the man's going out he would brobably have gono to sleop ou the seat, and no one can tell the result of thai sleep.” Mr. Fred Nash of the Milwaukeo at- tributed the accidents lafgely to careless- | ness on the part of the crews. and in some | cases he thought the officials were to blume.
