well performed: whether the postmaster
employs seven members OF his own family;
whether intoxicating liquors are sold in the
postoffice building and other matters. He
objected to the proposition of the post
master general to engraft on the system
which he suggested in his statement before
the House committee dividing the country
into twenty six districts with chief detec-
tiyes for each district and with corps Of
detectives to be used for posting localities

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 2t-Springer, of
Illinois, called attention to the fact that the
journal showed the legislative appropria-
tion bill as amended by the Senate had
been referred to the apr r3priations com
mittee without reference TO the House. He
said if anything was decided in the case Of
the silver bill it was that the reference
should be made In open House, that the
bill should have gone to the committee of
the whole
The speaker said the usual custom had
been followed; that the record duty in
! formed the House Of the references, and
therefore he declared the journal approved.
A conference was ordered on the bill to
reorganize the customs collection district
of Puget sound.
Mckinley, from the committee on rules,
reported a resolution that the House pro-
coed at once 10 consider the silver bill with
the Senate amendments and that at 2
o'clock to morrow the previous ques ticn be
considered as ordered. He demanded the
previous question on the adoption OF the
resolution, which was ordered. Twenty
minutes debate is allowed on either side.
The Demo :rats denounced this action as an
application of the gag rule.
! Mckinley said the purpose of the resolu-
| ton was to secure definite and speedy ac
ton upon the subject OF silver. He was
surprised with the opposition from the
other side. They charged that the Repub-
licans would smother the silver bill to pre-
vent legislation. Today had given direct
refutation to that statement The Repub-
licans had brought the bill back almost at

STANLEY'S ROMANCE.
The Story of his Early Love for
Annie Ward.
BERNHARDT'S PLATONIC PASSION
For the Hero of Africa-"Ifh he Would Only ASH
me, Would Gladly Go Through all
he has Suffered

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.l
New YORK, June 24.-The Times has
long story under the heading of 'Stanley's
First Love Affair" in which the following
occurs: What would Annie Ward say
could she read the announcement of the
the prospective nuptials of the famous ex-
plorer! In the days when these two
people met at the close of the sixties, Stan
ley was noted for nothing save poverty and
persistence. Annie was variety actress
who was then gladdening the hearts of
that wonderfully large floating population
streaming into the great plains region
through the city of Omaha. She was
bright. vivacious, very attractive figure
and knew how to entertain. Stanley, who
had been about the city few weeks had,
like many others, fallen under her spell.
Finding meaus to gain admission to
the theatre in which she was playing,
he found a seat close to the stage night
after night watching the coy Annie with
all the eagerness of an infatuated lover.
But Annie was tickle. One night, it is re-
lated, a scene was precepitated by the
lovesick young man, who had begun TO
realize that the object of his affections was
playing fast and loose with him and was
soliciting attention from other gentlemen
of larger wealth. On the night IN question,
as the story goes, he was in his accustomed
seat in the theatre and when Miss Ward
came on In scanty costume to do her little
| 'act," Stanley was observed to be in a
condition of excitement quite foreign to his
nature. Miss Annie was too palpably en-.
gagged in impressing her personality upon
rather boisterous young man, who mad
the reputation of having cleaned out nu-
merous bar rooms. He was not on the
most intimate terms of good fellowship
with the law-loving element of the women,
etc. Stanley is said to have stepped into
the aisle in most demonstrative manner,
and scene of excitement followed that
terminated only when he was summarily
and safely put without the front door, 4
big revolver was taken away from Stan
| ley at the time. Annie died OF alcoholic ex-
cesses.
Stanley was in hard luck in Omaha at the
time and often would sleep in the office of
the paper on which he was employed.

Young Swedish Boy Hangs Himself, From
Homesickness it is Believed.

BUTTE, Mont, June 24.-[Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. Word reached
this city tonight of an unusually sad sui
eide in Missoula last Sunday night. A
young Swedish boy named Charles Lun-

water for a railroad crew near this city,

this morning the entire camp turned out,
thoroughly alarmed. The dead body of the
boy was finally found in French's gulch
some distance from camp. He had hung
himself to small tree, and finding the rope
too long had thrown himself forward on his
hands and knees and had maintained this
position with wonderful nerve until
choked to death. His body was still hang
ing in this position when found. All of his
relations and friends are still in Sweden,

MR.. M'KIBBEN'S CASE.
1t Creates a Sensation in 0maha-He Built
Palaces With Other Peoples Money.

Palaces With Other Peoples Money.
OMAHA, Neb., June 24.-[Special tele
gram to THE HERALD. Undoubtedly the
most sensational prostitution of position
that has ever occurred in Union Pacific
railway circles was revealed in the suit
which the general attorney of the Union
Pacific brought against the late purchasing
agent of that road, G.. M. McKibben. In
the petition it is alleged that McKtbben
Systematically deprived the company of
$50 600 through unlawful means, this money
being obtained through fraudulent pur-
chases of lumber from q. H. Barnes g. Co.,
of ST. Louis. 1t is further alleged that the
price paid for the material was by McKib-
ben wilfully and corruptly contracted for
on the company's account and he agreed to
pay as much as 1915 per cent. greater price
than the actual or true market value of
said property. But the exposure does not
end here. J. S. Anderson, assistant to
President Adams, was brought from Bos-
ton and installed in the office recently va
Gated by the young Napoleon of the rail
road with instructions to investigate
matters. AS result persons who are in a
position to know say that Mr.. Anderson
has already traced the payment of commits
sions on contracts in money and presents
amounting to nearly if not quite two hun
dred and twenty-five thousand dollars.
| Mr.. McKibben arrived in Omaha about
six years ago to work as a clerk in a store
house and engineer of test offices. He was
always eager to advance and in a short
time was advanced to the position of store
keeper When j. j. Burns left the posi-
ton of assistant to Mr.. Mellen, the new
man, and when the latter resigned to take
the position of general traffic manager Nc
Kibben was made purchasing agent. Then
commenced career which terminated by
his removal from Office. During this time
McKIbben had built two palaces, one il
Council Bluffs and one in Omaha. They
were furnished lavishly and as it now ap
pears by persons who Were furnishing the
railroad with supplies. The furniture il
both houses was attached; all the money h,
had in the bank, 10000, and some add
tional property he had in this city. TIT

is known McKibben was President Adams

Illinois Central Strike.

CHICAGO, June 24-One thousand freight
conductors, brakemen and switchmen of the
Illinois Central struck last night, followed
by 300 passenger trainmen this morning
Not wheel is turning on the road here.
Everything is quiet. The strike is for the
discharge of the obnoxious superintendent,
Russell, and the reinstatement of two minor
officials. The strikers this afternoon ordered
ali the branches of the road in Illinois,
Wisconsin and Iowa tied up. 1t is said that
not wheel is moving north of the Ohio
river.
The men insist on the dissmisal of Super
intendent Russell whose jurisdiction ex-
tends over the lines in illinois, Iowa ard
Wisconsin. They have many grievances
against him. Train masters were dis
charged by him as mentioned in these dis
patches last night.
The men did not wish to be held respons-
ible for interfering with United States
mails or express matter, and consequently
attached the mail and express car to the line
of the New Orleans mail train to day. The
general superintendent, however, refused
TO start the train until the passenger
coaches were attached, and the strikers
warned him that he detained the mail and
express at the company's risk.
General Manager Beck and Generan Su
fperintendent Sullivan had a conference
y
stated their determination not to return t
work until Superintendent Russell was
dismissed. The only conclusion arrived al
was that the company would resist the
mems demands. The tie-up will
cause considerable trouble, lot only locally
but throughout large section of country
!. both west and south. The suburban traffic
! aof the road is enormous, the largest in thu
UNITED States. Trains run in and out Of tbs
city every few minutes from 5 o'clock il
the morning until midnight and are
crowded. All the people, many of whom
live beyond the cable car limits, are nov
thrown upon their own resources TO
