either or Both are results which should ivet prompt condemnation from the great hody of the American people. 1s there any- body any longer in doubt about the real trouble in the couutry today. ““The president of the United States in his August message announced a fact. He said: Tt may be true that the embarrassment by which the busioess of the country is suffer- ing arises as much from evils apprehended as thoseactually existing.’ ““I'his is true. Remove the apprehension of the threatencd tarill legislation, rem.ve the scare of the promised free trade bill, re- move the fear which has settled upon every Business interest and confidence will return. It was this fear which found expression in the recent clections of the people aud the: however they may be regarded in certain quATters, wera an impressive protest against the party which created the fear. We have everything this yoar wo Rad last, but good times, Wonld Vote Down “If a full and free expression could be had there is scarcely a state of the union which would record its majority in favor of free trade or a purcly vevenue ariff. Tam firm in the conviction that the proponderant omnion of the country is for a protective tariff, was in P02 and is now. The verdict of lust year was not against tho protectiv system, and if the party in power so inter- prets it it will do so at its own perilasa and at the peril of vhe vast invested nterests of tho country. ‘There 1s nota state, if its real sentiment could be had today, but which would advise congress to keep its bands off the present tariff and leave any revision which ex- perience proves necessary to the friends of the protective system; not a demoeratic rep resentative from an industrial state, who, if he would voice the real sentiments of his people today, but who would vote against the proposed raid against our industries. The ‘rm! trade congress isa rful the industrial interests of the countr. sound the note of warning here tonight. I wish it might reach every cornerof thoe country, that every reduction of the tariff will be followed by a reduction of wage that every cut in the tariff rates will be fol- lowed by a cut in vages rates. A_reduction an the tariff will be instantly felt.” Ex-Speaker Rteed is Heard From. Congressman Thomas B. Reed spoke next. He sala: **We have had a glorious victory, but that is only the beginning of the war. We have three years before us; three years of sober endeavor. We must not let the in- wxication of vietory overcome us. Even if we should be suc ful in defeating any effort of the democratic party to carry out the program of its party platform we should not forget our duty to push for- ward. I have the groatest hove for the future. No opne supposed the result would be so tremenaous. In Massachusetts was prevented the establishment of a dynasty of Russells. Towa stands firmly in the repub- lican party, and New York, which we had given up as irredecmable without a special act of grace, gave up by the simultaneous will of its people and joined the ranks of the republican party. You have oue great duty before you, the duty for the people. This is u country where the majority will rule sooner or later.” Other speakers were Congressman Cousins of fowa and fon.

PLAN OF REORGANIZATION Affairs of the Union Pacific to Be Placed in a Better Condition, MR. BRICE APPOINTS HIS COMMITTEE Some of the Gentlemen Who Will En- deavor to Place the Road on a Mure Subatantial Foundation—Will Meet on Mondny Next. New Yonk, Nov. 24.-—Senator Calvin 8. Brice has appointed a committee to 100k after the reorganization of the Union Pa- cific Railroad company. Tho names of some of the members are withheld for the pres- ent. It is understood that Drexel, Morgan & Co. will have & hand in the recrgani tion. Senator Brice spenks very hopefully of the success of the proposed reorganization plan. The reorganization committee as far as made up, is as follows: C. 8. Brice, chairman; Louis Fitzgerald, A. H. Boisse- vain, Samuel Carr, H, H, Higgiuson and G. M. Dodge. Mr. Morgan's answer to an in- vitavion to serve on the committoe is ex- pected tomorrow. Congressman J. B. Riley, chairman of the house committee on Pacific railroads, may serve if autnovized to do so by his committee. Counsel to the committee will be Victor Morowitz of Seward, Guthrie, Morowitz & Steelo and J. W. Simpson of Simpson, Thatcher & Barnum, hoth of this city. The committee will hold its first meeting on Monday. Vice President Kimball's Suggestions. Speaking of the proposed financial reor- ganization of the Union Pacitic Mr. Thomas L. Kimball said: It is the ouly thing to be done at this time. The government cannot afford to allow this great system to disin- tegrate, for it is too valuable a property. The interests involved are too vast. the ramifications too intricate to admit of hasty or ill-advised action, The men proposed for the work of devising some plan of reovgan- ization are among tho strongest financial lights in the country. M. Bossevaiu has been the reprosentutive of the Helland and English holdings for years and is a very shrewd financier. Mr. Dodge is o large holder of Uuion Pacific securities and will undoubtedly rc'l)l:n‘scllt the terests of the company. Mr. Higging i a big Boston banker and the possessor of one of the brightest financial minas in the country. It might be deemed advisable by this com- witteo to place a new general mortgage upon the whole Union Pacific system, wiping out all other obligations and = embracing the ontire f unded indebtedness. Such a course might simplify matters greatly, although I would mot like to be quoted until I had thouzht of this phase of the question a little more. Some plan of reorganization must be agreed upon that will in the fullest possible manner amalgamate all interests. When this 1s done the future of the Union Pacific will be brighter than ever before. It cannot bear the loud it is now carrying for any consider- able length of time.” IN LINE AT LAST. Other Western Lines Succoed tn Winnlng Over the Chicago Great Western. Cnicagu, Nov. 24.—The emigrant agreo- ment was toduy endorsed by the Chicago Great Western, which finally succumbed to the heavy pressure brought to bear upon it. This was the last line which stood out and the agreement will be put into working order as soon as possible. There are lines which declare that the agreement will be smashed inside of a month, while others de- clare that jt will be so entirely satisfactory in its workings that it will nov be discussed av all. Three more members were added to the advisory committee, which cousists of Chaiv- man Caldwell: of the Western Passcnger association, Passeuger ‘Trafic Manager White of the Atchison, chairman of tae com- mittee, and the following general passenger agents: Sebastisn of the Rock'Islind, Hef- ford of the Milwaukee & St. Paul, ‘Chrall of the Northwesiern, Townsend of the Mis- souri Paucific, Eustis of the Burlington, Lord of the Great Western and Hanson of the [llinois Central. ‘I he committeo will on December 3 hold a meeting in New York with the emigrant agents of that city.

An injustice has been done the Canadian Pacific by the report that it was cutting rates on Pacific coust business. It has proved conclusiveiy that it has dove nothing of the kind. The report avose throvgh the attempt of a man named Haward, who intended taking a party tothe Midiwintor fair, He agreed to transport them from Chicago for §7 each, intending to pay the balance of the regular rate of §7 for each ticket bimself, The people on this basis go from 5t.

The Canadian Pacific announcea today that beginning November 27 it will put in a rate of #3 from St. Paul to San Franc which 1s a rate of $34.50 from Chicago. is u reduction of $2.50. The Western Puassanger association today s requested by Culifornia tines to extend return on excursion lekets to the Midwin- ter fair from April 30 to July 15, and that on tickets already sold with o return limit of April 80 to the same date, it baving beon ded to keep the fair open until June H0.

The question came up vefore the comptroller’s office in passing upon certain rates charged by the Southern Pacific Railroad company upon the ship- ments of mineral oil from Jeffersonville, Ind, to Wilcox and Bowie, Ariz In his statement of the case Mr. Evarts poin ts out that the rate on & through shipment from Jeffersonville o Los Angeles of oil in less than carloads lots was, at the time the ques- tion came up, on the lino of the Southe Pucific from El Paso, Tex., to Los Angeles. 5 per 100 _pounds. Tho rates in ¥ d, charged from El Paso to Wilcox and Bowie, Ariz., were fur less than carlond rates and the same Was, paid by private parties for similar service. Mr. Ivarts then proceeded to argue at length that the rates were not in violation of the long and short haul clause of thoact, and concluded by saying that the last important decisior: of the courts, involy- ing the long and short haul clause, went further than that of the provious cases, and held that any competition, whether of any other carrier subjoct to the act, or of a car- rier under the control of the act, was suffi- cient to create dissimilar circumstances and conditions which would warrant a lesser charge foralonger haul than forashort one included in the longer distance. Ho submitted that tho rates charged Ly the company upon the shipments of the oil in question ought, therefore, to be allowed. The decislon in the present caseis looked for with considerable interest, as it will have a bearing on rates similarly charged by the other transcontinental lines on freight shipped by the govornment and concerning which no question has heretofore been raised.

With the exception of the first three, the names are all new, ¢ The entire time of the session was taken up in discussing the names and warm speechies were mado for and against each candidato. Moat of the men are favorable to Mr. Powderly, but several of them suit the Hayos faction. The afternoon session was more than usually interesting. After Mr. Powderly had been made to recognize the position his brother knights had brought to bear upon him, he nevertheloss endeavored to have his now list looked upon with favor. Balloting for the new executive board com- menced early in the ‘afternoon. V. B. Mc- Guire of New York was tne only one of the new mnominees who succeededa in getting onough votes to elect. him, Ballot after bal- lot was taken for the remaining seven, but no result reached. The result had to be de- clared suspended until tomorrow morning. After adjournmeat there was & great gathering of claimants and the claims of each nominee was pressed in the most offcotive manner. This was kopt up even during the dinner hour and at the reception at Knights of Labor headquarters. Tonight the festivities did not aeter the delegates from arguing the pros and cons of the ques- tion and the qualifications of the candidates for office. It is said by those on the one side that if peace could be declared for a short time vetween the hostile factions,the affairs of the order might be better looked aftar. A delogate said tonight: ‘There is en- tirely too much personality displayed by both Powderly and Huyes in this assembly. My idea is that if they would discontinue their personalities we could do more and better business. I will say, also, that if such & plan as has been suggested by others as well as myself is not adopted the order will not be an order very many years longer. We must look at the success of other organ- izations and follow the plans that have made them successful, if we wish to prosper."” “Do you think Mr. Powderly will stay long at the head of the knights?" “It depends entirely upon Mr. Powderly. There are other men in the order who have recently developed great sirength, and if necessacy one of thom may soon be called on o occupy tro position Mr. Powderly now holds. c During the afternoon’ session complimen- tary votes were tendered Martin of Minne- sata, Maguire of the District of Columbia, C.

He missed several simple plays, and with the exception of thirty-two i the fifth inning, which he laboriously piled up, he did next to nothing until tho seventh, when he broke, after a neat work, on a back draw. His run was seventy-two, Schaeffer did not do much better at the start, but now he got in some of his best licks. He found the balls in the upper left- hand corner, and after playing them in and out tor a dozen points he got an anchor posi- tion. But they woro at the wrong end of the table for him, and while he got eighty- three on account of that position, he did not hold them there as solidly as is his wont wheon he nails them in the lower right-hand corner. He made ninety-four on the run. Ives run off 116 in the tenth, which was the result of accurate driving of the first object ball for position. Iuthe twelfth Ives tried a little “con” game. He came protty close, but the position of thq balls demonstrated that he failed to count. He was forging right ahead with the next stroke when Schaeffer, who had his eagle oye open, dropped his cue on the table and demanded a decision of the referee. *No count,” said Mr. Rhines, and the Napoleon got in a sub- dued but vigorous kick. lves Tacklos the Anchor. Both men played a pretty game evenly from the start, but Schaeffer hada fewer small runs than Ives tho first of the game and he gradually diminished Ives' lead of 178. After two hours pluy there was only fourteen points between the players, Then Ives astonished the ‘J)coulu and awakened tumultuous applause by getting the balls in Schaeffer's pet position—an unchor in the lower right-hand corner—and playing them there as cleverly as Schaeffer ever did him- self. Without budging the object balls he played back and forth on them until the people grow tired of the monotony and their eyes weakened by becoming chained to the same spot. The red ball was tight to the cushion all the time; the other object was frozeu to the side and stood two inches from the cushion. Ives shot from the lower right- hand corner and the lowerleft-hand corner al- ternately, and so delicate was his touch that the red could not have been more stationary than if riveted to the spot. The other ob- ject shivered with each contact of the cue ball, but never moved. It was on the forty- second shot that he made an anchor, New Mark for the World. ‘When 100 was called a2nd come still un broken there was loud cheering. Ives took a drink of water, went at it again and rollea up another hundred. Stiil the balls had not been maved from position: 100 more and tho applause was terrific. Schaeffer's world's mark of 843 was_reached and passed; 400 was scored and everybody but Ives was ox- cited, and yet the balls had not moved from their first position. It seemed as if he might go on this way until eternity and so he might if the cue ball would not free: This it did on the four hundred and forty-fourth shot and Ives scored the next on a difli- cult out-and-in masse. The anchor was broken, lves now bad $cventeen to go to end the night's play, He quit five from the goal on a masse, his ball being between the other two and all three being close toge h r on therail, . P 1t was easy and Ives claimed he made it, but Referee Rhines said no. Schaeffer began playing calmly buv noteftectively. He made but six. Then Ives rolled up the necded five by ‘all-around shots. He was not only the winner of the evening but, in everybody’s judgment, the winnerof the match, there being but one more night's play, which will open with Schaeffer over 500 behind. And it was generally supposed that Ives could not play an anchor—nor could he—but he learned it from Schacffer’s play. The score tunight: Ive: S 467. Total score: Ives, 3,200; Schaeffer, 2, Average tonighi Ives, 471-17 Schaeffer, 22 15-16.

It 1s an almost foregone corclusion tonight among the adherents of both teams that Yale bas at least two new methods of wedge playing that they expect to spring on Harvard, but the backers of the latter disparago such statements, Harvard has practiced essfuilly her flying and open- g wedge at kick-off, and expects to find easier work in openiug the center for Brewer to get khrough, as Lewis is doing magnifi- cent work at center and 1s expecled to be the giant of the game.

Irritability and Nervousnoss are Kesults to be Avotded. The cvils of excessive housekeeping must te squarely met if one values the future happiness of her home, The number of women who are be- coming victims of nervous ailments from this strain on nerves and brain is alarmingly on the increase. 1t is not many steps from over tired nerves, to discouragement, a complain- ing tongue and final colapse. Excessive nervousness ov irritability is the most common result of over work. Asa well known physician has expressed it, what pain is to the broken limb, such is ner- vous irritability to the oxhuusted brain. 5. CLAUD CLARY, v for this condition is not hard to find. Paine’s celery compound supplies the tired systom with all it needs in the way of food for the nerves and nourishment for the blood. Depres- sion of spirits, bada temper, and melan- holy disappear with pure blood and stronger nerves, Paine’s colory compoued malkes sound health a permanent condition. A very short time after taking celery compound there is an unmistakable feel- ing of incrensed vitality, clearer brain, stronger powers in every direction. Mps, Claud Clary, today one of the handsomest women in ‘Popeia, writing to Weils, Richardson & Co.,says: “I navo been a sufferer from nervous- ness and have tried many remedics, none of which did meany good. This season I tried Paine’s celery compound. I used one bottle and it gave me immediate re- lief; I uged two bottles and am as well to- dayas [ ever was. 1 have recommended the compound to several of my friends and am sure that they nre satistied with it.” This is the experience of women everywhere.
