The House Omn;bus R,,I.

WAsniSGroN, Jan. 25.-The senate COM
mittee on territories to. day took up the hous
bill passed the other day for the admission of
North and South Dakota, Montana, Wash
ington and New Mexico into the union.
After a session Of two hours one of the
committeeman said 1--WE have spent the
entire session in considering the house ON
nlbus bill. 1t is noticeable for contradictory
provisions and inadequacy TO get any terri.
tory or part of Il territory into the union as
state. AS the bill now stands 1t Is probably
the most complicated and most difficult TO
interpret and administer that ever passed
either house of congress. If we are to pass
it, the measure must be corrected materially,
and it has been referred to Il subcommittee
with instructions to see IL its inconsistencies
cannot be so reconciled that we can recon-
mend It's passage"
Representative Springer, chairman OF the
committee on territories, has prepared and
will introduce in the house another omnibus
bill, providing an enabling act for the admis
sion into the union of the territories of Idaho
and Wyoming The bill embodies all the
features of the omnibus bill recently passed
by the house, with few exceptions.

MooRE's DEFALCATIoN.
1t is Now Thought That II Will Ex-
cccu S5OO,OOO

INDIANArotIs, Jan. 25.-Joseph A. Moore

proceedings have been begun against him.

Mutual company, is here with professional
accountant. II is thought the defacation
will be considerably in excess of 100000 lie

panes, and is supposed to be short in his
accounts with them. Nothing definite is
known about this, however,
A reporter this afternoon succeeded in OBJ
tanning an interview with Moore, who is at
present closely cOntining himself at his resi-.
denCe in this city. He denied the rumor
that the dcpositors in his bank would suffer.
He stated that he had turned over to the
Connecticut Mutual property worth S2OO,OOO.
He said: II have remained here to face the
consequences of my acts of my own accord;
| had plenty of time to leave the country and
save myself completely
Moore stated that his troubles dated back
to 1850. "ln 1872 he said, 1.-THE law passed
prohibiting foreign corporations from bring
ing suit i'll the federal court destroyed my
business For two or three years did nothing
at all and became very dcspondent. Just be-

Moore declined to say how much he had
lost in stock speculation. 1t is obvious that
his Irregularities with the company have
existed for years yet nothing has been done
on the part of the company until the lst of
January of this year.
1t has been reported here that Moore's
shortage to the insurance company, to-
gcther with other embarrassmcnts, may
reach $50, coo. Secretary Abbott, of the in
surance company, however, thinks S5OO,OOO
will cover it.

THEY HAD TO APOLOGIZE
Franks OF College Students Get Them
Into Trouble.

WORCESTER, Mass, Jan. 25.-[Special
Telegram to THE BEE. In emulation of the
Harvard freshmen about fifty of the technol-
ogy school students here went to the Front
street musee Tuesday night They were
armed with pea-shooters, and from their
seats in the body Of the house amused them
selves by popping at each other and acquaint-
ances in the boxes, Every lad carried a
placard in his hat, and at q signal all displayed
them so that the chorus girls on the stage
were startled by long row of plainly printed
queries regarding the nature of their per-
sonal apparel, Manager Aborn, of the
musee, quietly introduced few policemen
into the boxes. The officers watched the pro-
ceedings, and after the performance seized
upon four of the leaders and carried them
behind the scenery, where they were given
the choice of apology to the company or ar
rest for the disturbance. tThey chose TO apol-
ogize and signed a written apology, which the
manager promptly had printed in the morn
ing paper with their names, and now ali the
ooys are expecting expulsion.

Driven Into Bankruptcy.

New YoRK, Jan. ga special to the
Times from Zanzibar says: Grave pecuniary
embarrassment is reported to be pending
for the sultan of Zanzibar. Facts have
leaked out which indicate that
his treatment at the hands of
the German East Africa company
is simply unparalleled. Since the beginning
of It's operations 1t is stated that the sultan's
direct cash loss has been over 100000 rupees,
and his constructive loss ten times that
amount. The company eXacted payment of
every penny to which it would be entitled if
in prosperous working order. In addition TO
the losses it sustained at Iiilwa and elsewhere
the sultan is compelled to pay monthly
nearly 100000 rupees to recoup the company
for the cost of a theoretical administration,
which has been practically abandoned
since September and the company made
no repaymcnts. The company has
thus far driven a vast body of
malcontents into the lnsurgcnt ranks, hating
the sultan and company alike as responsible
for their destitution, and it has entirely de-
stroyed the sultan's power. 1t is rumored
that the sultan has repeatedly demonstrated
with the German consul.

THE UTAH SCHOOLS.

Mormons said to Be Interfering With
Necessary l,eQislation,

WasulNGToN, Jan. 25.--Thc report of p.
L. Williams, commissioner of schools of
Utah for the year 1883, says that the taxa
ton in the territory for school purposes is
insufficient, and that tuition fees to eke out
the teachers salaries have to be charged in
the district schools. This charge prevents
many poor children from attending the
schools The leaders of the Mormon church,
the report says, are actively pushing
scheme to establish a Mormon denomna-
tional school in each stake in the territory.
The report says that il is manifest that no
additional provisions for the support of the
public schools will be made by the legisla-
ture as long as the Mormons remain in con-
troll of territorial legislation, unless private
schools, in which the Mormons may control
the affairs and teach their tenets, are al
lowed to share with the public schools in the
money raised,

gram to The BEE. Another Important step
in the fight of the temperance alliance against
the saloon element was taken to-day. Three
of the largest breweries in the city, repre-
senting u capital of over Sl500OO, were seized
ami closed by the sheriff on warrants sworn
out by lnformer NJ. j. Frenck. The brewer
les belonged to Wcrthmueller Il Ende,
Augusta and Bcrthold Bosch, and Caspar
Hcil, among tho oldest, wealthiest and most
esteemed residents of the place. The move
is regarded with marked dsfavor by the ma
jority of the citizens of the place but the
alliance people will not be satisfied until
every brewery ana every saloon is closed
There is money and spirit on both sides and
to-days action is sure to be the forerunnor of

MRS. RAwSON's TRIAL.
The Defendant Creates a Scene and
Gains a Point.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2j-The defense WAS con-
tnucd to-day in the trial of Mrs. Rawson.
An insanity expert occupied the stand all the
forenoon, answering very long and hypothcti-
cal questions prOpounded to hun by the
states attorney, who was being pushed by
another insanity expert sitting behind him
The general trend of the witness testimony
was favorable to the theory that Mrs. Raw
sou was laboring under a form Of mania
when she shot Whitney.
At the afternoon session the state at
tempted to introduce James w. Looms, a
railroad conductor, and have him testify as
to certain charges of misconduct on Mrs
Rawson's part on his train in 1855, which We're
fully rehearsed during the divorce case. Mrs
Rawson streniously objected and created a
scene in court She cried hystercalv that
Loomis was liar and periurer, and that
she would would not SIT there and listen to
him All the efforts of her attorney and Judge
Tuthill to quiet her proved unavailing, and
she said she would go to Jail, but not listen
to the perjured talk of Loomis again. The
Gordian knot was finally cut by Judge
Tuthill ruling that Loomis' testimony was
malmlSsablp.

at the state department from the United
States consul general at Panama, dated the
18th inst, say that on the 14th inst canal
contractor at Culebra reduced the laborers
wages to S1.?0 in debased coin, or about so
cents in American gold, whereupon the men,
mostly negroes, refused to work and told the
police that they would rob for living. In
the efforts of the police to quell the disturb
ance, revolvers were used and serious riot
seemed imminent, but at the time of the con-
sui generals writing, the arrival of soldiers
had produced pacifying effect Bnd quiet

10000 workmen employed along the line of
the canal, and fully twice that number of

gram to THE BEE, ID W. Wheeler, chief
engineer of the Wnona n Southwestern

Nora Springs, announcing that he was going
to run line from Usage to that point, thence
in southeastery direction. The condition
under which the Usage tax of nearly $4,000
was voted was that the road should come TO
Mason City. There are also some require
mCnts under which the Mason City and Fort
Dodge tax was voted here that would not be
fulfilled by a connection with that road south
