This argument had a tolling effect on the House and was loudly applauded, In the senate the pending motion to recon- wider the vote by which the words ‘spir- ftous liquors™ were stricken out was debated for some time. Senator Rowen, the prohibi- tion leader, sald he had decided to with- draw from the opposition, and would.support no more amendments calculated to render the meastre obnoxious to its friends. The motion to reconsider prevalled by a vote of 27 to 7, those voting “nay” being Finn, Eaton, Gorrell, Palmer, Phelps, Andrews and Kilburn. The motion was subsequently with- drawn. Senator Harsh-offered an amend- ment limiting the location of saloons to cities of not less than 5,000 inhabitants, He thought the law in the smaller towns was fairly well enforced, and that these com- munities should be protected from the legal- jzed saloons.

Than Last Year—- Roshing the Article to Market NEW YORK, March 10.—The large num- ber of vessels arriving at this port from the ; West Indfes within the last two weeks has, in connection with the violent fluctuations in the stock of the Sugar trust, attracted considerable attention. It has never be- heen necessary to_ charter steamers from regular lines to carry the sugar erop, but this season several of the Southern Paciflc company's boats have been pressed #jto service and have been making regular tfips to Cuban ports, For the week ended March 7 there were received at the three sugar ports of New York, Philadelphia and Boston 56,802 tons of 2,240 pounds each, which was an increase of 13,003 tons over the corresponding week of last v The rushing forward of the Cuba crop is al- leged to be due simply to the fact that the crop is excessively large and must be brought to_market. That the crop is larger is shown by fg- ures from Cuba which give a production this season of 389,000 tons, against 341,000 tons last season and 326,000 tons for 1892, For the first eight days of March thirty-six ves- sels arrived at New York with sugar from Cuba and other West Indian ports and Bra- 2l This fleet was composed of ten steamers, nine barks, one brig and sixteen schooners. The noteworthy point is the number of the steamers, which, while de- creasing the number of arrivals, carry much larger cargoes and accomplish more work at less expense than the smaller craft. The week's imports were valued at $3,375,402 at the three ports, of which New York's share was $1,970,298. In connection with the figures relative to the market for and stock of cane sugars, It is Interesting to note that there are at present 4,100 tons of beet sugar afloat from Hamburg for New York and freight room for 14,000 tons more has been engaged. - MONKEYED WITH A BOMB, Higger € fore Disastrous Find of & Number of Brooklyn Lads Yesterday. NEW YORK, March 10.—Joseph Hoffman, aged 13, has been mafmed for life by the ex- loslon of a box of bombs, which the police belleve were made by anarchists and hidden in the sand lots of Willlamsburg until such time a# thoy should be wanted. The Hoff- man boy and Charles and Frank Oberly were playing in the lots today, when they turned up the sand near a massive boulder and found a box containing six bombs. The Hoff- man boy, being the elder, took charge of the find and examined the bombs carefully. Young_Hoffman finally picked up one of the bombs and sald he was about to hurl it against the boulder. The other boys turned and ran away. They had run about 100 feet when Hoffman hurled the bomb from a dis- tance of thirty feet at a boulder. The result was disastrous. The Oberly boys say they felt as though the earth had opened under them, and when they turned Hoftman was Iying on the ground screaming at the top of Bhis voice. All the skin on his face and hands was peeled off and he had several abrasions on the body and limbs. The police have the box containing the atlier five bombs, which are of tin and ob- Jong. About three months ago half a dozen bombs were found in the lots, but tho police were unable to find the maker. The district abounds in anarchistic socleties and in the vicinity Is the house of Johann Most. inginbetdil e CAUGHT AT LAST. Senator Hill of Now York Sald to Be En- gaged to a Kentucky Belle.

H. H Ol the Employes Feel. When Judges Caldwell and Sanborn issued thelr now celebrated order in the Union Pacific ter, in view of conflicting orders made in inferior courts, directing that the employes of the great system of rails which gridirons the western third of the continent should be heard upon the ques- tions vitally affecting their Interests and appolnting President Clark to act on hehalf of tho recelvers of the Union Pacific In treat- ing with the employes, the principle of arbi- tration became much more of a fixity than it has been heretofore. And the result of this conferenco, which convenes in Omaha next Thursday, will be watched with Intense interest by labor the country over. The different branches of labor the Union Pacific will be present in force, in addition to the chiefs of the various organi- rations represented in the conference. In fact, the meeting is one of national impor- tance, in view of the questions which will require solution at this time, In addition to deciding whether the employes are to submit to the equalization schedule sought to be folsted upon them without a hearing in the famous order of Judge Dundy, directing the receivers to put the new schedule in effect March 1, and which caused such a wide- spread discontent that the employes of the company even went so far as to ask for a restraining order from Judge Riner of Wyoming, directed againit the enforcement of the order. Judge Riner issued such an order, but the receivers, listening to the mur- murs of dissatisfaction and not feeling will- Ing to take the initlative In putting the schedules in effcet, rescinded their former action as recited in the petition filed by General Solicitor Thurston in Dundy's court, and asked Judges Caldwell and Sanborn to take the matters under advisement, which they did by ordering that the empioyes of the Unlon Pacific should have their day in court, and March 15 was named for the be- ginning of the conference, which s to con- tinue from day to day until an agreement is reached. If no agreement can be reached then the court will cut the Gordian knot and say what shall be considered fair to both sides on the wage question. PRESIDENT CLARK'S INVITATION. President Clark, who is now in St. Louls, when asked yesterday by wire as to who his assoclates would be In the conference, re- plied: “I have invited the local chairmen of the various labor organizations embraced in the order of the court to meet me at the conference, which convenes in Omaha on the 15th inst. I have also invited the chiefs of these organizations to be present.” In consequence of this invitation the different branches of labor on the system have elected thdir delegates to attend the confereace. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, so far as has been reported to George W. Vroman, chairman of the grievance com. mittee, will be represented by A. Flood, Rawlins, Wyo.; J. L. Simpson, Kansas City, W. H. Fikes, North Platte, Neb.; D. H. Breese, Laramle, Wyo.; A. G. Roberts, St. Joseph, Mo.; Thomas R. Reld, Cheyenne, Wyo.; Frank Gunnell, Evanston, Wyo.; E. R. Fonda, Council Bluffs; W. W. Hall, Den- ver, Colo.; A. Preece, Salt Lake City; W. J. Ingling, Pocatello, Idaho; A, E. Curtis, Port. land, Ore.; J. E. Toner, Montpelier, Idaho N. §. Clark, Beatrice, Neb.; William Patter- son, Leavenworth, Kan, and George W Vroman, North Platte, It is also probable that J. D. Matheson of La Grande, Ore.; Thomas Olliver of Eilis, Kan., and George Barnhart of Tekoa, Wash., will be present, the delegate from Lima, Mont.; not having as yet reported. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen will be represented by C. A. M. Petrie, chair- man, Ellis, Kan.; S. H. Donehow, North Platte, Neb.; F. L. Lehman, Denver, Colo.; C. W. Wechter, Laramle, Wyo.; H. 0'Don- nell, Rawlins, Wyo.; R. J. Clark, Evanston, Wyo.; J. F. Holloway, Pocatello, Idaho; George Edgars, Salt Lake, U.'T.; Joe Mc- Elvanie, Montpeller, Idaho; C. O. Fletcher, Como, Colo.; W. D. Robbins, Kansas City A. F. Butler, Lima, Mont.; Grant Keys, La_ Grande, Ore.; A. L. Smith; Beatrice Neb.; H. K. Taylor, Tekoa, Wash.; S. E. R. White, Glens Ferry, Idaho, and W. A. Young, Dalles, Ore. The American Railway union will be rep- resented by states as follows: 'Nebraska, George Miller, Omaha; Wyoming, W. F. Downey, Evanston; Idaho and Utah, E. L. Briggs, Glens Ferry: Colorado, L. E. Her- berling, Denver; Pacific division, James Miraugh, Portland, Ore. This order in- cludes many of the clerks along the system and workers in the machine shops and other departments, unattached to the older bodies. The Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen have not as yet reported thelr delegates to The Bec, which is also true of the Order of Railway Telegraphers. WILL HAVE GOOD COUNSEL. In additlon to these employes the men will have the wise counsel of P. M. Arthur, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers, who has held the position for years and who enjoys the confidence of the entire brotherhood, . P.¥Sargent of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Firemen, grand chlef of the order, and Eugene Debs, president of the American Railway union, names that stand for the best principles for which labor has united. The position In which Mr. Clark is placed is one of supreme importance, for it means much to this light In the raliroad world of today. Coming up from the ranks, as he has done, President Clark enjoys the great confidence of the men on the system. He has gone through almost every branch of railway service connected with the operating department, and, what fs of particular im- portance, has not forgotten the days when he ran a gravel train on the Jersey Central. Thoroughly conservative, yet having an inti- mate acquaintance with the finances of the Union Pacific system, the position Mr. Clark will assume In regard to the schedules pre- pared by General Manager Dickinson, Mr. McConnell and the general superintendent of the company, at the instance of the re- celvers, will be watched with great interest. Should he decide that the equalization sched- ule does not equalize, then it is thought the s will lose thelr confidence in General Manager Dickinson, who undoubtedly recog- nizes that it is a condition and not a theory that confronts the operating department. In the event that Mr. Clark, after hearing both sides, should decide that the schedules for en- ginemen and tralnmen, which were intended to become effective March 1, are as liberal as those of other roads, then the men will in all probability poll the system on the ques- tion of whether to accept the sehedules or not. But the liberal element among the employes anticipate a modification of the schedule which will prove satisfactory to all Interests, The Msult of the conference on the Northern Pacifie is being cited as an instance wherein mutual concessions were made, the men realizing that the times were unfavorable for pressing requests. It Is thought at headquarters, although Prosident Clark has been very reticent as to his intentions in the matter, that Receivers E. Ellery Anderson, Oliver W. Mink and J. W, Doane will be present throughout the conference to aid Mr. Clark wherever possi- ble, while for actual knowledge of the situa- tion he will rely upon General Manager Dick- inson, Superintendent of Machinery and Mo- tive Power McConnell, the general superin- tendent of the system, and for legal advice upon General Attorney Kelly. For days stenographers have been busy copylng schedules In effect on other roads and making comparisons with the schedules sought to be put in effect March 1, in order to be able to fully meet the obfections rafsed to the schedules by the employes, as repre- sented in the answer of the men filed in Colorado and Wyoming. When President Clark convenes the conference he will be supplied with all the facts leading up to the made January 27, wherein the recelvers were given authority to put in new schedules and do “those other things which will be for the best interests of the property " without further directfon of the court. He will have the most ample opportunity wage n on to satisfy himself as to the justness of General Manager Dickinson's schedules and at the same time compare the statements of the men bearing on the same case, Whether each branch of labor will be heard separately I8 a question, although it is thought the entire delegation will be admitted to the conference for mutual support and strength. Even though the men should fall in their efforts to convince President Clark that they have rights [n the premises, the conference promises to be far-reaching In its effects at least, for it will have a tendency to strengthen the world of labor and make stronger the Ideas of arbitration as against strikes. CALDWELL'S REASONE, Judge Caldwell, in explaining the reason for his order which hung up the Union Pacific schedules and made possible this con ference, stated fn an interview in St. Louis 1t receivers should apply for leave to re- duce the existing scale of wages before act- ing on their petition I would require them to give notice of the application to the officers or representatives of the several labor organizations to be affected by the change, of the time and place of hearing, and would also require them to grant such officers or representatives leave of absence and furnish them transportation to the place of hearing and subsistence while In attend- ance, and 1 would hear both sides in person or by attorneys, if they wanted attorneys to appear for them. The employes on a road in the hands of a receiver are the employes of the court, and as much in its service as the receives themselves, and ak much en- titled to heard upon any proposed order of the court which would affect the whole body of employes. If, after a full. hearing and consideration, I found that it was necessary, equitable and just to reduce the scale of wages, I would give the employes ample time to determine whether they would accept or reject the new scale. If they rejected it they would not be enjoinod from quitting the service of the court, either singly or in a body. In other.words, 1 would not enjoin them from striking, but if they made their election to strike I would make it plain to them that they must not, after quitting the service of the court, In- terfere with the property or the operation of the road or the men employed to take their places. A United States court can very readily find the means to effectually protect the property in its possession and the per- sons in its employ. I have In one or two instances pursued the policy 1 have indi- cated, and the differences were satisfac- torily adjusted.” But in the order ordering the conference and appointing Receiver Clark to act as the arbiter of the questions nothing w said in regard to subsistence as mention#l in the interview, the men of course being paid for their enforced attendance upon the conference as provided in their agree- ments. Delegates will begin arriving Monday, and by Thursday it Is expected all the branches of labor on the system aftected will be rep- resented. The conference will be held be- hind closed doors. UNION PACIFIC REORGANIZATION, Recelvers' Certificates Will Not Be Asked for at Present. > The rumor current in the railway circles recently that the Union Pacific receivers would shortly make application for an issue of receivers’ certificates, to tide the road over the present depression, is now emphat-* fcally denied at the headquarters of the com- pany. But it is pretty well known that at the recent meeting of the receivers of the system in New York this matter was thor- oughly discussed, the general impression be- ing that the application would have to be made. But the earnings increased some- what during the past month and the neces- sity for recelvers' certificates was corre- spondingly lessened. In this connection it may be stated that the reorganization committee of the Union Pacific is trying to obtaln a settlement of the government debt by repayment of the entire debt with interest at 2 per cent per annum through a sinking fund which will redeem the principal within ninety-nine years. While this is considerably more than it was thought the company could offer, it undoubtedly represents ail the company. can possibly pay. It is evident the commit- teo desires to make as fair a settlement with the government as possible, recognizing the rights which the government has in the Dr‘?perly. From a gentleman well posted In Union Paciflc aftairs 1t I loarned that the coor: mittee has about practically decided to leave the prior mortgages on the main line, as well as many of those on the branch lines, undis- turbed and to ask for the junior securities such temporary sacrifice as they will no doubt find it their interest to concede. ATCHISON GOING FOR MIDGELY, Complaint to the Chairman of the Western Freight Assoclation. CHICAGO, March 10.—The receivers of the Atchison road have sent to Chairman Midgely a very tart telegram concerning the resolutions condemning the Atchison of- ficlals passed by the Western Freight asso- clation after the collapse of the antl-pass agreement. The telegram charged that Mr. Midgely had raliroaded through the meeting after the adjournment, and this with a doubtful quorum, the resolutions which gave such great offense to the Atchison. He charged those who passed them with doing 50 in bad faith, as it was well known in the meeting that certainly two lines, and prob- ably more represented were, at the time ‘of the meeting, gross violators of the agree- ment from which they declared the Atchison had no right to withdraw. Mr. Midgely replied to the receivers that he had no apologies to offer and no excuses to make, and, in short, proposed to stand by his resolutions. The end of this thing is not yet, as the passers of the resolution havo openly admnitted they are anxious . to drive the ~Atchison receivers from thelr places, and the Atchison and its friends huve an idea that Mr. Midgely's position could be better filled than at present. The Atchison road may make another slash at the trans- continental rates in the near future. It has found that its competitors, notably the Union Pacific and the Rio Grande, are placing with brokers the return portions of Midwinter fair tickets and thereby making an $18 rate from San Francisco to the Missouri river, The Atchison will probably meet the rates in a short time. To Settio the Rate War. General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Unlon Pacific stated to a reporter of The Bee that the prospects for a settlement of the rate war was quite bright, his under- standing being that the Santa Fo and South- ern Pacific had commenced a discussion. of their differences, with a view to their ad- Jjustment. “As long as there Is any pro pect of an agreement being reached between these roads the Union Pacific will not at- tempt to equalize the rates to Portland, but should the conference between the Atchison and Southern Pacific fall, then we would be compelled to equalize the rate to Portland and the Sound country. He stated that matters were on a very peaceful basis at this time, and thought that the differences between the Atchison and Southern Pacific would be adjusted. Defeating the Noalpers. The passenger department of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul on the 1st of thi month put into effect its new method of handling tickets, by which, it is claimed, scalpers are prevented doing business on its lines. All tickets presented by passen- gers on trains leaving Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolls, Sioux City, Omaha, Council Bluffs and Kansas City reading to points beyond the run of the first conductor on the train will be taken up when pre- sented and continuous passage checks i sued in thelr stead. This train check must show the date of issue, mumber of train, destination, by what road issued, and, in fact, a complete history of the ticket. Thus unusel portions of tickets cannot be sold. To Prevent Accidents. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, not content with having an electrically lighted and heated train, removing thereby the moloch of the raflroad, the ear stove, will on Monday next put in service between Coun- cil Blufts and Chicago the block signal sys- tem, with special wires and signals to oper- ate ‘the wystem successfully. The system 15 such as is used in England, and is de- signed to prevent rear end collisions, in fact, it provents, fons of any kind Under this new system no train s per- mitted to pass a station until the preceding train has passed the statfon In advance, thereby Insuring an absolute separation of trains. Not satisflied with the Introduction of this system upon the main line of the road between Council Bluffs and Chicago, the St. Paul has grectod the same system between Chicago ahd8t. Paul, and on the Dubuque division between Savanna and La- crosse, and on the norgjiern division between Milwaukee and Horrtcou, in all a total of 1,200 miles being equipped with this safety appliance. TRANSCONBNENTAL RATES, Another Big Warf Threatened — A Lively Fight in Prospect CHICAGO, March 10.—A bigger war in transcontinental rates than has yet occurred is looming up on the horizon. The fight, when it comes, will be between the Atchison and Southern Pacific on ene side and the Union Pacific on the other. The Rock Tsland and, probably, the Burlington, though this Iatter is not certain, will favor the Atchison and the Southern Pacifie. Great indigna- tion is expressed by the Southern Pacific against the Unlon Pacific for Its recent cutting of rates. It was anmounced today that the Northwestern and Unfon Pacifie were making a rate of 331 one wayand $54 for the round trip to California. The Atchison was at first inclined to get out and cut a few rates ftself in order to meet this condition of affairs, but finally concluded that pending the settlement of the dispute with the Southern Pacific it would create no more complications. Once this matter is out of the way it will be given all the fight it cares for. The adjustment of the Atchison-Southern Pacific quarrel is pro- gressing satisfactorily. There Is a ruption coming in the Western Freight association, and predictions are made freely that either Chairman Midgely must get out or there will_be no association-fn the future. His answer yesterday to a message from the Atchison” was not calculated to pour oil on the troubled waters, and the Atchison will never remain a member of the association with Mr. Midgely at its head, and with the Atchison and the Union Pacific out the asso- clation cannot hold together. Railway President Clark will Omaha early next week, General Maneger Holdrege Is again at his desk after a short absence on the line. Assistant General Passenger and Ticket Agent A. B.

HAS SOME OF THE BEST MEN AT LARGE Lays Out an Aggregation that Will Make ners Play Ball Al Isfled with (he Outlook in Omaha. Manager Rourke of the new western asso- ciation ball team has been in the city for several days overlooking the situation and laying his ropes for the practice season. Manager Rourke, it will be remembered, is an old Omaha ball player, having been a member, of the original Western league team representing the Gate City. Rourke was then but a kid, but he put up a game at third base that caused most favorable com- ment among the profession throughout the country. Billy, however, was unsusceptible to the malady commonly known as “swelled head,” 'so common among ball players, and, despite nilimerous offers to go elsewhere, stuck to Omaha until July, when he transférred by a deal of the moguls to Du- luth. Here he played great ball and was a general favorlte among the patrons of the game, in 1889 Rourke orginized and managed tho Grand . Island, Neb., State league team, finishing the season with the greatest cclat, fnasmuch as the Grand Islanders won the pennant. - Rourke has been intimately associated with the game since 1885, and in that time has played with several winning teapis, and has had extepsive experience both as*a player and manager. He is an ftelligent, gentlemanly feillow and has always occupied an_enviable position of popularity In the different cities where he has been engaged. Among the notable ball players Manager Rourke has been instrumental in bringing out might be mentioned Park Wilson, the present New York catcher, also Glenalvin, now with the Chicagos, both Lew and Win Camp, Billy Hoffer, the pitcher, Jimmy Martin, ‘the _catcher, Charlie Abbey, the Senator, Pitéher Cobb, and a number of others who have' since shone in the great basé ball constellation with conspicuous brilliancy. In speaking of the new Western associa-, tion Manager Rourke last evening said: “I have every confidence in the success of the new organization; the circuit is compact, and all the cities represented full of life and push and enterprise. Another thing, the association is constructed on the most eco. nomical lines, will be governed in strict ac- cordance with business principles and must consequently prove a most gratifying suc cess. Again, the several teams will be 100 per cent stronger than the public suspects, and, on my reputation as a judge of playing standard, 1 predict we will put up as good and exciting ball as has ever been seen in this western country.” “About our own team, Mr. Rourke, what have you done?”’ ““Well, I have got Fear and Land, catchers, and you can depend upon it they are a pair of corkers; McVicker, a pitcher, who was with Frisco last year, and with Joliet during both of her championship seasons; Jamison, another pitcher, with ~Savannah last year, a big fellow with all kinds of speed, and a fine player all round. Bristow, a piteher, who was with Fort Scott last year, and who pitched thirty-five games out of which number he won thirty-one. That is suffiicient guarantee as to Bristow's worth. .1 am also negotiating with still another pitcher, an old Western leaguer, who will create a stir when his name is given out, that is if I get him and 1 am sure [ will. For second base I have the Kenyon college second, Billy Driscoll, who they tell me i the coming second baseman of the country. I am expecting great things from him., ~ He is out of sight on double plays and beats the world on touching a man on second. Boyle, who I have signed for short, is another crackerfack. He was with San- dusky last season, and built up a batting average of .326, and led In stolen bases. For third I have the old reliable Jack Mun- yan, whom all ball patrons know, as he has played with the St. Louls Browns and the Minneapolis Western league team. Wood, the Nashville man, will be found in left fleld. He is a sure catch, a great run-getter and a_splendid_all-round man. Hendricks, from Kansas City, will be In center. He was in the Montana league last year and hit up with the .300 boys. He s all right. He is very fast on the bases and can do his hundred yards in 10%. Cavanaugh will be inright. He is a young fellow and comes highly recommended by White Wings Tebeau of Denver. In fact, George wants to bet a Dunlap that Cavanaugh will be as good as third on the batting list at the end of the season. I will play first myself, and of course the world knows that I am what “Papa’ McCavley used to be—that fs, if you listen to me. That completes my team, with the exception of an additional battery. I am now negotlating with a catcher who has played here before and who will be re ceived with open arms by all the old crank *“When will the men report?" “I want to*have them here by the 15th of April and will do so if we suceeed in perfect- ing all our arrangements here, and I think we will. T will go to Grand Island tomor- row, but return here for good within the next ten days."” SEN was TO MISSOURT.
