3. The day before yesterday Czar passed through Germany without He went from his yacht, the Polar rxmtzig. The Czar, and there is no longer -1 doubt of it by any European diplomat, Mr. Evans replied that he had gone so far in the line that he had pursued that it would be impossible for him to withdraw. He was entirely under the influence, as CoL Pope believes, of Mr.

Potter. Mr. Evans' suicide, thinks Mr. Pope, is due to Mr. Potter, and its cause was the joint account between them in speculation, which, upon the books of Evans fc appears as Special No.

1 and Special No. 2." These two accounts amount to about $000,000, and the assignees be lieve that nearly $500,000 of the amount was the personal obligation of Mr. Potter. The pressure brought upon Mr. Evans by Mr.

Potter was very great at about the time Mr. Evans killed himself and as in consequence of the fact that Bank Examiner Macruder had begun an examination of the affairs of the Maverick Bank, which was temporarily suspended on account of the illness of Mr. Magruder. Col. Pope said chat in his opinion the creditors of Evans fc Co.

would receive about 50 cents on the dollar, and that Mrs. Evans would be enabled to have a comfortable income which would support her in a home in some town outside Boston. No Other Banks Affected. Boston, Nov. 3.

Thomas N. Hart, one of Mr. Potter's assignees, expressed an opinion today that no other banks would be affected by the failure of the Maverick, and that with the exception of possible inconvenience to some business houses no more trouble would be experienced. When asked as to one of the savings banks in Boston about which there has been some talk on the street, Mr. Hart was confident that it was solid and prepared to meet any demands that might be made upon it- He expected, as a natural consequence of the condition of things, that there would for several days be rumors of trouble in different sections, but they would be without foundation.

In Charge of an Examiner. Damakiscotta. Nov. 3. Bank Examiner Parker of Lew is ton has been ordered to take charge of the First National Bank, which suspended yesterday owing to the failure of the Maverick Bank of Boston.

UNCLE SAM IS AFTER THE MONOPOLIES. The Cases of Wisconsin Against Ex-Treasurer Harshaw and McFetridge to Come Up Nov. 17 Father and Son Meet Death In a Well A Farmer's Son Dies 'from a Doe's Bite Received In July Saloon Aldermen Abuse a Minister Other Northwest News. Madison, Nov. 3.

Special. The celebrated Harshaw treasury suit was the interesting event at the State Capitol today. Judge Siebecker ascended the bench and briefly gave the reason why he could not hear the case, and that with the consent of the attorneys on both sides he had called in adge Newman of the Sixth Judicial Circuit. When Judge Newman had taken his seat Attorney-General O'Connor stated that in his opinion Ihe court had no jurisdiction to try the case at this time. Judge Siebecker sat in the case as Judge in chamber by stipulation of the attorneys.

Mr. O'Connor argued that under such conditions it was the almost universal practice that no new judge could be called in. He was ably assisted by United States Senator Vilas, who will hereafter be identified with the suits. He said that it was of greater interest to the State not to have a mistrial than it would be to the defendants, who ucder all circumstances could only gain by it. Charles W.

Felker of Oshkosh, J. V. Quarles, and Joshua Stark of Milwaukee, attorneys for Harshaw, argued that the defense had secured witnesses from long distances, and the expense and inconvenience of delay certainly were undesirable. Judge Newman decided that he had no jurisdiction at this time, but would hear the case at the regular term of court. It was agreed to hear the case Nov.

17, at which time the case against Ex-Treasurer McFetridge will come up for trial. SALOON ALDKR3IKN GET ABUSIVE. He Receives a Communication Calling' His Attention to the Regulation IJejiirding Market Quotations Not Terrified by the Show of Authority His Warm Reply and His Warmer Opinions May Be Called Before the Committee Today He Will Not Appear. War has commenced in good earnest between Robert Lindblom and the Board of Trade. Yesterday Mr.

Lindblom received the following note from the Market Report committee. It having come to the knowledge of the Market Report committee through the public press that you propose to telegraph to the St. Louis Merchants' Exchange and to similar organizations continuous quotations of commodities dealt ia under the rules of this board. I desire to call your attention to regulations regarding market rjuota-tions adopted by the Board of Directors May 6, lilt), and which the following day were announced to the association and posted in the exchange halL For your information I herewith inclose a copy of said regulations as posted. J.

G. Steever. Chairman Market He port conuniUee. The Posted Regulation. The regulation inclosed is as follows No member or combination of members of this association, either directly or indirectly, shall be permitted to collect or disseminate continuous market quotations or to occupy the exchange hall or approaches for this purpose, and a member charged with a violation of the foregoing regulation shall be tned in a manner and according to the provisions contained in Kule 4 of the association for the trial of members charged with other offenses; and if found guilty shall be censored, suspended, or expelled, as the directors in their discretion may determine.

But all this show of authority does not terrify Mr. Lindblom in the least. When seen at his residence last evening be was hard at work on a hot reply which he will give to Mr. Steever today. This reply is couched In no delicate terms.

It practically invites Mr. Steever and the committee to "mind their own business," charges them with impudence and effrontery and illegal action. It calls to Mr. Steevcr's attentiou the high honor that the board has conferred upon him by placing him at the head of a defunct committee. Referring to the letter, Mr.

Lindblom" scores its writer for charging him with a crime which the committee acknowledges he is only contemplating and upon the authority only of the public press. He refers to the rules governing the duties of the committeemen and sums them all up by calling them janitors." He defies and challenges the committeemen to prosecute him and declares that their resolution is illegal and unconstitutional and that the knowledge of this fact induced them to leave it out of the printed copy of rules and regulations of the board. What Mr. Lindblom Thinks. In speaking of this letter Mr.

Lindblom said that it is mild compared with what is in his mind to say, and that it is only by the exercise of great self-restraint that he permitted his language to have a semblance of politeness. I have no doubt," said Mr. Lindblom, that I shall bo called up before the committee today or in the near future. But I will not appear. I do not recognize this self-constituted authority of a crowd of upstarts.

I will take my case before a higher tribunaL The Supreme Court shall decide it for me. A morning paper charges me with raising a row for political effect with a view to being President of the board some day. This is entirely untrue. I would not accept any position the board has to offer." nent. Mr.

O'Brien said that Mr. Dillon and himself only went to jail after exhausting every effort to effect a reconciliation. Mr. Redmond and other Parnellites then sided with him in trying to bring Mr. Parnell to reason.

Mr. Parnell offered to retire if Mr. Brien took the leadership. But he O'Brien objected and suggested Mr. Dillon.

Mr. Parnell refused to assent to Mr. Dillon. Afterward Mr. Parnell drafted an agreement that if Mr.

McCarthy obtained from Mr. Gladstone a sufficient memorandum dealing with the Irish questions, he would retire from the Chairmanship in favor of Mr. Dillon, with Mr. McCarthy as Vice-Chairman. The agreement contained no condition that the retirement of Mr.

Parnell was to be temporary. WILL CHALLENGE THE DUKE. Mine. Melba's Hnsband Making Vain Efforts to Find Orleans. (SPECIAL CA.BLK.I London, Nov.

3. The Melba-Armstrong-Orleans trouble seems likely to end in bloodshed. The only thing that can prevent it will be the Duke's keeping out of Capt. Armstrong's way, for the injured husband ia determined to challenge to the death "lepettit Due," notwithstanding the latter's royal blood. However, as yet Capt.

Armstrong has not been able to find the Duke of Orleans. On arrival at Brandisi Mme. Melba sent word to the Duke, who is visitinsr the King of Portugal, and he immediately fled to parts unknown. Mr. F.

Armstrong, the Captain's elder brother, today said "My brother has gone to Scotland to arrange his business matters preliminary to a more important undertaking. He proposes to challenge the Duke, and, if they meet, will certainly kill him, as my brother is an expert swordsmen, an excellent shot, and not disposed to show the little Frenchman any mercy." Mr. Armstrong denied emphatically the charges of cruelty published in Mme. Melba'a statement. He said: My brother has been treated with gross injustice and intends to have satisfaction.

He came overland from Brindisi expecting to find the Duke in England. He is not here, however, and no news can be got of his whereabouts. My brother has no doubt that the Duke is keeping out of his way, afraid that my brother will either challenge him or post him as a coward. If found by our friends he will not be able to escape a meeting, and if a meeting takes place he will probably be shot." Capt. Armstrong, the husband of the delinquent prima donna, was formerly an officer the British army, and is a man of well-established bravery, coolness, and determination.

Germany Repudiates Emin Pasha. Berlin, Nov. 3. A letter dated April 2 has been received here from Emin Pasha. In it the explorer said that he as upon the point of starting to visit the King of Ruhanda, a territory hitherto unexplored by European or Arab.

Commenting upon these facts the National Zeitung remarks that, should the explorer have carried out this plan, it involves desertion of the German service and that he will exceed his powers if he crosses the Congo Free State without permission. The Reiclis-anzeiger (official) says Count von Hatz-feldt, the German Ambassador at London, has been instructed to inform Lord Salisbury, the British Premier, that the German Government repudiated responsibility for Emin Pasha's movements if he had encroached upon the British sphere influence. Lord Salisbury in reply expressed his thanks for the statement made by the German Government concerning the explorer's movements. Americans Homeward Bound. I SPECI AL CABLE.

In ona month he has -joesed Germany twice without exhibiting a desire to see the German sovereign. Last eek Emperor William had offered to pay his respects to Emperor Alexander at Dantzig, although it was for the Russian Emperor to no to Berlin, because the German Emperor had been twice to St.

Petersburg. The Czar positively refused to see the Kaiser until the kst moment. Diplomacy did its work, advances were made from various directions, but the Czar remained immovable, i'hen, tirain, the weather was so bad that the Polar Star had to defer its departure from Copenhagen for two days. The Czar preferred to take a voyage of ten hours by sea rather than one of three hours in order not to pass through Berlin. The proof, therefore, is given that not only does the Czar not wish for the political friendship of Germany, but he seems to wish personally to be on bad terms with the Emperor of Germany.

For this course there are two reasons first, the Czar cannot forget the manner in which the Emperor spoke of the Czarina daring the last voyage to St. Petersburg. The Czar is a family man in every lease of the phrase. He treats his wife with tha most profound respect. Emperor William one evening in the presence of the Czarina ia an improper manner delivered himself of lome mess-room jokes, and instead of apologizing hen the Czarina looked coldly at him, he stupidly continued his stories.

From that day even whilst Emperor William was the raestof Russia at Peterhof, the Czar has tpuken to him as little as possible, and his sentiments have not changed 6ince. Recently, for political reasons, the Emperor of Kussia wished for an alliance with France. 'There is certainly known to bo a paper in existence which he signed for reasons best taown to himself, although they may not be comprehensible to the public. But whatever engagements he has entered into he will undoubtedly fulfill. He will avoid everything likely to hurt the eelmgs of France.

The Grand Duke now in Paris said "My brother is like a rock and what has been said is the truth." It is too much of an exaggeration to think, like the financial world of Pans and Berlin, that war i3 near, but it appears that all reconciliation between Russia and Germany will henceforth become impossible. This is a fact with which the political world will have to count. Jacques Sx. Cere. IIPOETS OF BKEADSIUFFS STOPPED.

FRANK BENSON'S WORK GETS THE PRIZE. The Artist's "Twilight" Honored by the Jury Other Art. News. The jury, composed of Frederick Freer, J. H.

jle, and John H. Vanderpoel, for awarding the prizes given in the Art Institute exhibition rendered its decision yesterday noon. It was decided that Frank Benson's Twilight," the picture which was mentioned by The Tribune as being most worthy of the honor, should receive the Ellsworth prize ot $300 for the best work by an American artist, painted in America, not having been previously shown in Chicago. Gari Melchers received the Art Institute prize of $250 for the second best picture by an American artist, with no limitations as to where it was painted. Mr.

Melchers' picture was not elieible for the first prize, as it was painted in Holland, thoush the relative merits of the pictures would demand that the result remain the same if. It had been painted in America. The opening lecture of the regular Art Institute course was delivered yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott, who spoke on "Foreign Art in the United States." The lecture-room was well filled. Mrs.

Elliott spoke of New York City as one of the four great art centers of the world and said that the foreign art there had given a great impetus to the art movement in the country. She mentioned among the important works of Rembrandt the superb Head of a Man," which hangs in the Art Institute. The Seeney and Morgan sales were reviewed, and the works of the painters of the Barbizon Sschool especially dwelt on." The works of Sculptor Barge she considered remarkable for showing the terrible side of the nature of beasts. In speaking of the Vanderbilt pictures Mrs. Elliott drew a comparison between the battle pictures of De-taille, who is represented in that collection by the "Evening After the Battle," and the works of Verestchagin.

The work of the artist of the enlightened nation gave the power, heroism, dash, and glory of war, while the Russian gave but the horrible realism. A glowing tribute was paid to the work of Walter Crane, whose talent is to be shown at the Art Institute next month. In closing Mrs. Elliott urged that the children of the poor as well as the rich should be instructed and given the benefits of art. NUMBERED WITH THE DEAD.

Disgraceful Scene in the Racine Council Chamber After Adjournment, Racine, Nov. 3. Special. A disgraceful scene occurred the Council chamber late last night after the adjournment of the Council, in which Aid. Colbert and Komas and the Rev.

Charles Percival, Treasurer of the Law and Order League, were the principals. Thomas Kelly, a saloonkeeper, testified in a Justice Court that he sold a criminal liquor when he was drunk. The league preferred charges against him before the Council and asked that his license be revoked. The league was defeated by a partisan vote of the Democrats. After adjournment the District-Attorney declared to Aid.

Colbert, the Democratic President of the Council, that they should have had a hearing in tneir case, when the Alderman began an insulting tirade against the ministers who have been conducting the Law and Order League and against the Rev. Charles Percival in particular. Aid. Komas, a saloonkeeper, also denounced the pastor for the part he had taken in the crusade agaiast the saloon men. Warrants will be issued for their arrest, charging them with using abusive language.

PORCELAIN AT RIAL IN ILLINOIS. WESTERN PASSENGER PROBLEMS. It Is Demonstrated by the Receipt of a White Dish from Sweden. Spbtsgfield, 111., Nov. 3.

Specials-Several weeks ago Prof. LindahL State Geologist, procured a small sampla of kaolin or porcelain clay near Anna, Union County, and sent it to Robert Almstrom, manager of the porcelain works at Rorstand, near Stockholm, Sweden. Today Prof. Lindahl received, a letter from Mr. Almstrom accompanied.

by a dainty little white dish made from a mass of which Prof. Lindahl's sample formed 37 per cent. Mr. Almstrom proposes to make from Illinois clay a set of tableware for exhibition at the World's Fair. Dr.

Lindahl will send him the necessary quantity of kaolin and also of plastic clay. It will be demonstrated that there is in Illinois practically all of the raw material for making faience of a high grade. The kaolin is found only in the vicinity of Union County, "but tne plastic clay is found in large quantities near Danville, Gaiesburg, and in other parts of the State. A VICTIM OF HYDROPHOBIA. He Is Accused of Embezzling $1,400,000 from the Bank Director French Is I I-able to- Go to Jail How the Wily Officials Obtained Vast Sums of Money from the Institution The Feeling: in Boston Is Rapidly Subsiditts.

Boston, Nov. 3. Special. Asa Potter, President of the defunct Maverick Bank, was today arraigned before Commissioner Hallet and held in the sum of $100,000 for his appearance before the December term of the Circuit Court to answer to the charge of embezzling and misappropriating the funds of the bank of which he was President. Granville T.

W. Braman of Cohasset is his bondsman. Thomas Dana, a director of the bank, who was also arrested, qualified in the sum of $75,000 nd was held to appear before the same court the same date to answer to the same charge. CoL Jonas H. French, the managing director, who was also arrested last night, sleeps tonight guarded by a deputy United States Marshal, he having been unable to secure bonds.

This is to save him the humiliation of sleeping in the Charles Street ail as long as there is a chance that he may be able to secure bonds tomorrow. The proceedings before Commissioner Hal-let were set for 8:30 o'clock a. but for hours President Potter was about town in the custody of a Deputy Marshal seeking a friend who had the faith in him to go on bonds for him so large an amount. Early in the day District-Attorney Allen received a telegram from the Attorney-General in Washington instructing him to insist upon the largest bonds possible in such a case, but since President Potter, if convicted, can be sentenced to but ten years' imprisonment for embezzling $1,400,000 the District-Attorney was disposed to ask bonds in the sum of $500,000 He so stated, but Mr. Potter, though well known and not likely to run away, had considerate troublo in finding so much property at his disposal.

He could not in fact find any one to go upon his bond for so much. He did find a man who would baek him up to the extent of $300,000, and so at p. m. he appeared before Commissioner Hollett. The matter of the amount of bail was argued at leDgth, Mr.

Allen asking that he be held in the sum of $200,000, The Commissioner was content to hold him in the sum of $100,000, stating that be had no fear that Mr. Potter would run away. French Must Go to Jail. If CoL French fails to secure bonds tomorrow he must go to jail, as public sentiment is against a further delay in the matter. The more the facts in relation to the Maverick Bank become familiar the more ground there is for looking tor unpleasant developments.

The character of the bank's assets ia the point of greatest interest, as on this depend the prospects of the depositors in getting back their money. The assets as a whole are thoroughly bad. The bank held some commercial paper of high grade, which it took at lower rates than the other banks would allow, for the purpose, it is said, of the respectability which such holdings conferred. The assets of this character amount to, perhaps, $200000 out of total assets of about Regarding the remainder a good deal of doubt is expressed. When it is taken into account that directors of the bank owe it between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000, the gravity of the situation will be seen at a glance.

The law allows the Maverick Bank to lend no more than $10,000 to any one borrowing, and yet it is found President Potter's indebtedness to the institution amounts to $1,100,000, that of Mr. Jonas French to about $700,000, and that of Mr. Thomas Dana to about $400,000. These large amounts were obtained through the indorsement by these parties of notes made by parties of no financial responsibility, 6uch as clerks and stenographers. In Mr.

Potter's case, at least, these were piaia notes, unsecured by collateral in many cases. In view of these facts, the prediction that the bank will pay 75 cents on a dollar seems rather hasty. It is said on good authority that the bank has cash enough on hand to pay depositors 25 cents, and beyond that the matter is extremely prob-lematicaL The loss is likely to come principally upon small depositors, large accounts having been very freely withdrawn in time to avoid the suspension. The general feeling regarding the failure is that after the first effects are overcome the financial atmosphere of this city will be much improved, as the bank's methods of doing business have for years excited the suspicions of the banking community and have caused them to anticipate the present turn of affairs. President Potter's Version.

President Asa Pctter has given his side of the Evans story for publication as The loss of the Maverick National Bank on account of its dealings with Mr. Evans would be about $200,000 if the collateral could be judiciously disposed of. That loss had been figured out and charged off before the crisis of last week arose. We settled it in this way The bank took the collaterals and turned over the notes to the firm. The difference in value between the face of the claim and the then market value of the collateral proved to be as I said, about $200,000.

The bank's dealings with Mr. Evans can in no sense be considered the direct cause of the suspension. The real causes of the failure are somewhat complicated but easily made clear. Of course everybody knows how freely we were talked about on the 6treet and what the effect was finally uoon our depositors. The first tangible" thing was the refusal by President W.

R. Evans of the Winthrop National Bank to accept one of our certified checks. The day before this refusal I had had a pleasant, friendly interview with Mr. Wil-mot Evans and we parted apparently on the best of terms. When the check was brought back to our bank by the man who presented it at tne Winthrop I was astonished.

I said at once tha it must be a mistake of some sort. We promptly paid greenbacks over our counter for the check, and then I started out to find Mr. Evans. After about an hour's search I located him. I began to greet him pleasantly, when he repulsed me.

With a show of strong feeling he exclaimed 'I want nothing to do with you. I hate you. I don want you to come near I endeavored to pacify him, but it was no use, and I left him. Let me say that I do not blame Mr. Evans in the 6lighest degree for the feeling he entertains toward me.

It was the natural result, no doubt, of talking over with other members of the family the circumstances of his brother's death. I admit it surprised me greatly, however, but only for the reason that we had parted so pleasantly the day before, when Mr. Wilmot Evans knowledge of my relations with his brother must have been as complete as they then were. I afterward learned that Mr. ilmot Evans in seeking justification for his act of passion for it was an act of passion merely consulted one or two other bank Presidents.

They disapproved emphatically of what he had done. Finally he went to CoL Newman, the President of the Commonwealth National Bank. At the end of his interview with Mr. Newman that gentleman told him that he considered it his duty as a member of the Clear ing-House committee to bring the matter to the attention of his associates. Mr.

Evans had no idea or desire that the matter should take such a phase. It was too late, however to fully remedy the mistake, and the full Clearingr-House committee sat upon the case. Let me say. on the other hand, that if I was allowed to wind up the affairs of the "c.k.a; tionalBank no depositor and no stockholder would lose one dollar that he has deposited or invested." COL. POPE IS SURPRISED.

He Denies President Potter's Statement Concerning Irvinff A. Evans. Boston, Nov. Albert A. Pope was considerably surprised when he read what Asa P.

Potter bad to say about his relations with Irvin- A. Evans. CoL Pope says he was the most intimate friend of Mr. Evans and several years ago he endeavored to induce Mr. Evans to quit his relations with Mr.

Potter, pointing out to Mr. Evans the dangers of the extensive speculations in which he was and urging him to aoandon that field ind confine his business to brokerage only. Bigid Regulations Put in Force by tbe Russian Government. 6PECTAZ. CABLE.

1 London, Nov. 3. The Russian grain edict and the increased dividend on Pennsylvania shares counterbalanced the failure of the Slaverick Bank as well as the severe decline ia foreigners incident with the Paris settlement, and Americans opened firm and improved during the day. St. Pauls were largely bought at 78, Pennsylvanias at and Atchison incomes at 67K, closing strong at these figures bid.

No serious difficulties are mticipated in Paris, although the bulls have, ifter many months of success, suffered a se-tere reverse. Discounts are somewhat weaker and call money easier. The copper market continues dull, owing to reports that a large stock of the metal exists in the hands of the Societe des Metaux, and it is rumored that the trustees, executors, and aecurities insurance corporation, as well as the Credit Industrial, are both in negotiation with the liquidators for the purchase of the business and plant of the societe. The details cabled last week as to the intention of tbe Russian Government to prohibit tne eiports of all grain except wheat have turned out to be quite correct. The ukase, which goes into effect today, does not deal with wheat, which is left for edict, but extends the prohibition so's to include every other description of grain, as well as bran.

malt, and meal, and also extends to potatoes and the products of potatoes. Ships which have commenced to load will be allowed to complete their cargoes, provided they clear within three days, but lighters intended for other vessels have been stopped. Russian local authorities are fixing maximum prices for the sale of grain, flour, and bread, and the imperial government has postponed, work on the Siberian railways to devote the funds to the purchase of grain. A further edict is expected this week to deal with wheat and wheat products, and the government will levy a heavy export duty. A Vienna corre-pondent telegraphs that since last Thursday the frontier guards have allowed no grain of jay kind to cross the Austrian or Prussian frontiers from Russia.

The exports last year from Russia of the articles now prohibited ag-trecated nearly four and a half million tons, equivalent to about 150,000,000 bushels of grain. Killed Three German Students. St. Petersburg, Nov. 3.

A serious affray among students occurred today at the famous university at Dorpat. The fight grew out of race feeling between Russians and Germans, there being many students of the latter nationality at the institution. The Germans had decidedly the worst of it, three of their number being killed and a number wounded. Many Russian students were also wounded. Revolvers as well as less deadly weapons were used in the conflict.

Literary Mementos of Lowell. SPKCTAL CABLV I Lostdos, Nov. 3. Prof. Eliot Norton is receiving numerous responses to his appeal to the British friends of the late James Russell Lowell to lend him any letters orother literary matter pertaining to the poet-diplomat that thev may have in their possession.

It is thought by some that there are letters of Lowell in existence, which, if published, will create something of a sensation in political and literary circles. Fluctuations ou the Paris Bourse.

Credit Foncier Many Important Subjects Considered at Yesterday's The regular monthly meeting of tbe Western Passenger Association convened yesterday morning at the association rooms in "The Rookery for the consideration of the various subjects named in Chairman Finley's calL II. C. Townsend, General Passenger Agent of the Missouri Pacific, was elected a member of the Auditing committee for 6ixty days, to succeed J. C. Pond.

The -Committee on Circuitous -Route Rates to California was granted further, time. The matter of establishing a rate bureau and the status of rate-sheets compiled in the territory of this association was laid over until the next meeting in order to afford members the opportunity of fully acquainting themselves with the report of the committee submitted a day or two ago. It was agreed to make a rate of $13.10, Chicago to 'Springfield. effective via Kansas City, limited to one day from date of sale. It was agreed, in connection with outside lines, to make no special labor rates to Southern points from Chicago.

The committee havmg in charge form of tickets and other details with respect to the Knights Templar conclave to be held in Denver was granted further time. Action was taken respecting half -fare permits for clergymen. The committee on military rates reported progress and was granted further time. The appeal of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway from the decision of the Chairman in the case of that company against the tle Chicago, St.

Paul and Kansas City railway, involving excursion rates between Des Moines and Dubuque, was sustained. A large amount of work still remains undisposed of, and it is hardly probable that the meeting will be able to clear the docket before next Friday.

STILL GRINDING OUT INDICTMENTS. Death of a Farmer's Son from a Bite Received Four Months A go. EvANSVtLLE, Nov.

3. Special. Nicholas GumbeL, aged 16 years, and son of a prominent farmer in this county, died yesterday of hydrophobia. While out hunting last July he was bitten in the calf of the right leg by a shepherd dog he had with him. He shot the dog immediately, as the animal showed no signs of having the rabies.

After a hard fight the boy was placed under restraint and a physician sum moned. The convulsions continued until death came to his relief. It required three strong men to hold him in bed.

FATHER AND SON DIE TOGETHER. The Union Pacific and Western Union Asked to Give Up Exclusive Privileges. Washington, D. C. Nov.

3. Associate Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court of the United States, sitting as a Circuit Justice, has begun the hearing of arguments in the case of the suit brought by the United States in the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Nebraska against the Union Pacific railway company and the Western Union Telegraph company. The government is represented in the 6uit by J. L. Caldwell and Charles H.

Aid rich; the Union Pacific by Judge John F. Dillon of New York and Messrs. Shellabarger and Wilson of Washington and the Western Union by J. M. Wool-worth and Rush Taggart.

The suit was brought by the Attorney-General in pursuance of the provisions of the act of Congress approved Aug. 7, 1888, known as the Anderson act. This act in-brief compels all subsidized railroad companies which by law are required to const ruct, operate, and in aintain telegraph lines to so construct, operate, and maintain them as to furnish to connecting lines equal facilities for the transmission of business. Tbe government seeks to have declared void the contract entered into on the 1st of July, 1881, between the Union Pacific railway company and the Western Union Telegraph company on the ground that the act of the entering into the contract was beyond the corporate competency of the railway company. Counsel for the government contend that the contract grants to the telegraph company exclusive right to the occupancy of and connection with the railway company's depots or station houses for commercial or public telegraph purposes as against any other telegraph company.

This effectually destroys ail competition. The personal privilege granted to the Union Pacific railway to construct, maintain, and operate a line of railroad and telegraph for the use of the government and the public the counsel for the government say is a personal power and cannot be alienated or abandoned by it. Counsel for the Western Union have filed an exhaustive brief containing a statement of their position in the matter. The brief gives a history of the development of the telegraph in the Far West and refers to the active part taken by the Western Union in it. Counsel insist that the efficiency of the service provided by the company 6ince the contract above referred to has existed, and the reduction of rates which from time to time have been made, fully justify the wisdom of it as a practical measure.

Counsel further insist that the competency of the railroad company to enter into the contract with the telegraph company is reinforced by the provisions of the General Telegraph law, oruzinally enacted June that for the purposes of the bill the defendants and the contract between them are not within the commands, injunctions, and prohibitions of the Anderson act. Mr. Caldwell opened the case for the government, but had not concluded his argument when Justice Brewer was compelled to leave the room for the purpose of attending the meeting of the Supreme Court. The argument was resumed in the evening. It will probably consume a part of each morning and evening for several days.
