OMAHA LIVE STOCK.
Cattle

Saturday, Sept. %.
There was not much to do with in the way
of beef cattle to-day. There have been days
when the beef supply was light but to-day
there were practically no beeves here The
market was nomlnaly steady at Yesterdays
prices. The demand for butcher stock was
light and the same thing was true of the
supply A few cows sold at 81 50G190 and
q small bunch of westerns brought $500.
The bulk of all the cattle here was made up
of feeders, which moved quite freely for the
last day of the week. Quite a good many
western feeders sold at S2.40@255.

Half of the Settlers Gone Home Dis- } -- ss .-i heartened.
 WICHITA, Kan. May 16.-Colonel Richard son, late land commissioner, has just return ed from Guthrie, Oklahoma 60 He says Okla homa is being deserted very rapidly. Other persons who have been ai1 over the country correborate tRis statement. The grand rush on April 9 appears to have been followed by reflex movement as great as the ad- vance: ~ Many of those who went there were ind uced to do so by the highly colored de- scriptions published by Oklahoma agitators. Others who had been over the country in ad-
 vance started out from the first for the Cana dian valley, and having thus succeeded in securing desirable lands intend to remain and
 prove up their claims. There are on many of these, claims three, five or even seven de- termined contestants while in other parts ot the country there are vast tracts which were not even filed up. Many men took up claims with the intention of selling reliquishments,
 but finding no purchaser deserted them
 Still others have made their filing and i'm
 provements and have returned to their States
 to remain for six months. - The situation in
 towns of Oklahoma is much the same as the
 country. Guthrie had on the opening day
 at least 10, 900 people: To-day there is not
 half that number"
 United States Marshal Needles says that
 by August he does not think there will be 200 people in the place, Still improve ments of all kinds are being made and people interested in the place are making strenuous efforts to boom it.. Oklahoma City's popu- lation to-day is about the same as on the opening day, and has made more substantial improvements than Guthrie. In less than year ths town site speeulator, the gamblers and the boomers will have to 8, great extent

 the actual settlers. Marshal Needles yester- nay stated. that everything was quiet and kpeaeea 'e throughout the whole coUntry.

A COMPROMISE

Being Arranged Between the Miners
 and their Emp1oyers-The Men Will
 Probably Resume Work on Tuesday
 Emperor yyiIilam's Speech Before
 the Milne Owners-A Basis Of Settle.
 meng.
 BERLIN, May 16.-A compromise is being arranged between the miners and their em- ployers, and it is expected that the men will resume work everywhere on Tuesday next.
 In receiving the westphslia mine owners Emperor William made a long speech, in the course of which he said:
 "After hearing both sides, it would seem that the main point, in view of the wide spread injury done to the whole population, and having regard especially to the probable outbreak of second series of strikes in Si- lesia, is to end as soon as possible the strikes in Westphalia. I conveyed my views on this subject to the workmen with severe plain ness. The workmen have made good im- pression upon me, having held aloof from all touch with the socialists. TeleRrams from Westphalia announce that my words have found a favorable hearing. The healthy, patriotic feelings shown by the workmen's delegates inspire me with con- fdeuce that they will do all in their power to bring their comrades back to work as soon as possible. l urgently aQVlso Lne nlnluR COIL panies to maintain henoeforth ss close touch as possible with the workmen. would ask that care be taken to give the workmen chances to formulate their wishes. l much desire to bring the dispute to favorable issue. It must ever be born in mind that companies employing great numbers of workmen nave a duty to perform to the State They must use every effort to pro- vide for the welfare of the men. What above all must be avoided is the placing of the population of a whole province in such difficult situations as have attended the re- cent strike"
 After the audience delegates of the miners met Herr Hammacher, member of the Reich stag, who acted as representative of the mine owners. A prolonged conference was held, which resulted ia the acceptance of a basis of settlement. The working day is to be fixed at eight hours, exclusive of time occu- pied in descending and ascending the pits, compulsory overtime to be abolished except in cases of extreme urgency, previously ar ranged for between the masters and men, and, finally, wages are to be increased in &C., cordance with local circumstances. The directors of the Weimar collieries have called 8 meeting for Saturday to consider the com promise.
 Last reports say there has been rioting in Silesia and the strike is extending. The strikers are demolishing pits, threatening officials and preventing men from returning to work

The Iron steamer Alaskan Founders OF Cape BIanco-AH Hands Leave rhe vessel Before She Goes Down, Rut Five Men Are Reported Drown Il ed-The Fate of Some of the Others Unknown.
 PORTLAND, Ore, May 16.-The steamer Columbia, which has arrived at Astoria, brings a report of the loss of the Oregon Rail way and Navigation company's magnificent sidewheel iron steamer Alaskan. The vessel
 is reported to have foundered at sea, of Cape Blanco, Monday, May 13, while on her way from Portland to San Francisco. Only mea- gre particulars have been received yet. The Alaskan left Portland last Saturday, May Ii, bound for San Francisco, where she was to go on drydock for repairs preparatory to being placed on the Puget Sound route. It is supposed she must have encountered a very severe gale while on her way down the coast. The steamer fortunately carried no passengers, having on board only her officers and crew when she went down.
 Cape Blanco is some four hundred miles south of the Columbia river. The steamship Columbia, which was coming up the coast, picked up the captain and mate and eleven of the crew and brought them to Astoria.
 
 boats, containing the remainder of the crew, have not been yet heard from.
 PORTLAND, May 16.-The latest reliable news concerning the loss of the O. R. and N. steamship Alaskan, which foundered off Cape Blanco, is to the effect that the captain, mate, first officer and eleven men were first picked up by the tug Vigilante and after wards turned over to the steamer Columbia and brought to Astoria. There were 34 per- sons aboard As soon as the vessel began to founder the officers and men deserted her, taking to the boats. Captain Howse, Cap- tain Woods and eleven of the crew were all in one boat and the remainder of the crew in the others. The wind was blowing in 8 southwesterly direction at the time and the men drifted toward the land. The tug Vigilante ran across Captain Howse and his party and picked them up.
 Captain Bolter of the Columbia, who sailed up from San Francisco last Tuesday at 10 o'clock and when shortly this side of Cape Blanco ran across the tugs and took the pas sengers aboard, bringing them up with him. The fate of the others Is not known. Hopes are entertained, however, that they drifted landward and were saved. It is positively known that all got in boats, escaping from the sinking steamer. The Alaskan was built in 1883 at Chester, Pa., by John Roach for the Oregon Navigation company and was launched in August of that year. She sailed around the Horn, reaching this port April 6, 1884. She was exactly like her twin steamer, the Olympian, now plying on the Sound. Her length over al was 275 feet, her depth hold 14 feet inches, with 39.6 feet beam. She was the most elegantly fitted up steamer in the northwest and cost $350,000. The Alas kan was insured for $200, 1000.

Hiram Lodge Votes to Accept She Restoration Offered by the Grand

Hiram Lodge Votes to Accept the
 Restoration Offered by the Grand
 Lodge-The Eight Expelled Members
 StilI Out.
 Hiram lodge held an important meeting last night and about 300 members were pres- ent. It was to decide whether or not the proposition of the Grand lodge to restore the charter of Hiram lodge should be accepted.
 The committee who went te Hartford and attended the meeting of the Grand lodge when the petition signed by over hundred asking for a restoration of the charter, made their report. It was to the effect that the Grand lodge would let Hiram continue in its old line of work, and been the cause of the friction between the two bodies. Hiram could take it's time in asking for reinstatement, and when all shall have signed the petition the grand master would come and accept the members and also install the new officers. The committee reported that when the matter of reinstating the eight expelled members came up the vote stood about S5 to 15 for reinstatement. It was then voted, on account of the difference of opinion, that action be deferred until the meeting in January. ..za... -,- 4t-. -- ,t., -a Ds DSNcli, OEtc Ol buS 6ApcnSA u6mUGTc, was not present at last nights meeting, but he sent word that he would not stay in the way of the lodge if it wished it's charter re- stored. .es--...s..
 Lynde Harrison telegraphed from Hart ford that the lodge should act with delibera tion, but he would not hinder it's accepting the proposition on account of his being an expelled member. 'a
 The only expelled member who objected to the acceptance of the proposition was John R. Hutchins. " '@''Ai't. -.7'
 Lucius Hinman spoke vigorously in not accepting the report. He thought that as the eight expelled members had stood all the brunt of the fight, and had been promised that the lodge would stand by them, it would be wrong to leave them out He was in fa- vor of waiting until the Grand lodge acted on the cases of the expelled members. s'1- F Ex-Mayor Lewis thought the matter should be thoroughly discussed and nothing nasty done. He believed that two or three meet ings should be held before decision wa. reached. 7'5 '' ''-@'1 @ : It was finally voted almost unanimously te accept the restoration offered by the grand lodge. The restoring of new members and the installation, of officers will be arranged for in short time. There are assurances that the expelled members win be restored
