Nebraska Democrats.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 13.-[Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. THE hotels are
commencing to show signs of activity as
each incoming train unloads its quota of
Democratic politicians and delegates to the
Democratic convention which will convene
in the Grand opera house tomorrow at Z
pm Among the delegates already on the
ground there is feeling that Hon. E.
Boyd, of Omaha, will receive the nomina-
ton for governor, although there are sew
eral other candidates in the field. MIR. Boyd
was mayor of Omaha for number of years
and has the satisfaction of being classed
among the best officers this city has ever
had If nominated he will make
strong fight.
There is a strong fight for the
election. The disaffection in the Re
publican ranks, coupled with the further
fact that the Alliance ticket will poll big
vote, makes Democratic success almost
certain, which accounts for the activity
among the well known politicians of the
party to secure nomination. The conven-
ton, which meets Tomorrow will have
5S5 delegates, and will nominate candidates
for governor, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, secre-
tary of state, auditor of public accounts,
state treasurer, attorney general, commits
sioner of public lands and buildings, and
superintendent of public instruction.

Ressegnie and Baxter.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 13.-[Special tele
gram to THE HERALD. The very undigni-
fed manner in which General Manager
Resseguie undertook to remove Bob Bax-
ter, superintendent of the Wyoming divis-
ion, has occasioned so much talk among
Union Pacific track and train men every
where that he may hereafter find his posi-
tion very unpleasant one Fearing seri-
Gus results should he peremptorily dis
charge Mr.. Baxter without giving some
good cause for so doing. Resseguie asked
him to hand in his resignation, together
with an explanation stating that Mr. Dick
inson had offered him better position on
the Baltimore & Ohio. This Baxter not
only refused to do but gave the suggestion
away, and it created an immense amount of
unpleasant comment on Resseguie as a rail
road official Baxter is expected to arrive
in Omaha this week and may accept an ap-
pointment from the Baltimore & Ohio. 1t
is understood that that corporation wants a
superintendent who is experienced in noun
tain railroads forts Philadelphia s. Wheel
| ing division. A better man cannot be found
| for such work than Bob Baxter.

Strike ON the Delaware & Hudson.

ALBANY, Aug. 13.-The Delaware &
Hudson switchmen and brakemen have
gone out and the road tied up. One hun
dred and fifty Michigan Central men were
sent to West Albany at IL o. clock to move
freight for the New York Central. The
men claim they detected Delaware & Hud-
son officials endeavoring to move New
York Central freight in violation of their
promise to the district assembly. They
say the strike will extend tue whole length
of the road before night. Passenger trains
are all running on the strikers say they
wilt not disturb tnem. The knights claim
that the action of the Central people i'll
bringing on large number of switchmen
from the Michigan Central yards at Chi
cago will at once extend the strike to the
western lines of the Vanderbilt system. At
noon the Delaware 81 Hudson Canal COM
pany freight and yardmen, except the
engineers and firemen, quit work as
though the signal had been given on that
road 1t is SAID the Boston & Albany and
Fitchburg freight departments will strike
before night Trouble is feared here now.
The switchmen and laborers in upper
Delaware 81 Hudson yards quit this after
noon. Railroad men say they do not know
the cause.
The report that the brakemen have also
gone out is pronounced untrue. One of the
corpany's officers says the number OF
strikers will not exceed two hundred
and fifty.
General Manager Young. of the Delaware
& Hudson railroad, said the strike only in
cludes freight handlers, swit;hmen, auC
yardmen in the Albany yards.

ADAMS RESIGNATION
A Prospective Change in the
Union Pacific.
VANDERBILT BUYING THE STOCK.
Fred Ames is Reported to be Dissatisfied With
the Present Policy-Resseguie and
Bob Baxter

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 13.-fSpecial tero
gram to The HERALD. That oft-repeated
story that Charles Francis Adams will
soon resign tle presidency of the Union
Pacific has been revived. A gentleman
who claims to have substantial information
on the subject said that he never placed
any reliance upon these rnmors until the
present time. 81 believe" he continued,
''that this time there is better foundation
on which 10 base the report than ever be-
fore. Ever since Adams went into the
Union Pacific he has had the strongest
kind of backing from Fred Ames and
other Boston capitalists who own a ma
iority of the stock But he is fast losing
their influence, and if any portion of
it ever does leave him he is lost.
''The trouble commenced about one year
ogo, when Adams dopted his famous
policy of dividing the Union Pacific system
into four grand divisions, which not only
required four sets of general officers and
clerks, but establishes conflicting man
agerial interests, and has increased oper-
ating expenses enormously. l am well
enough posted in railroad matters and
management to know that the system
can't be worked successfully. The North
ern Pacific tried it some years ago and the
scheme proved failure. The same result
will follow here. In fact. it is virtu-
ally admitted by everyone except Adams
himself to be a failure now. He, of course,
holds out because, upon the outcome of that
policy depends his future care. If It can be
made q success without bankrupting the
concern. then he will be the greatest man
Iliving, but if he has to return to the old plan
off goes his head. In the meantime, though
the Vanderbilts are smart enough to fore
see what is bound to come sooner or later
and are quietly buying up all the Union
Pacific stock they can get hold of with
a view to eventually controlling and
making the Union Pacific part of
their northwestern system. When that
day comes around, Marvin Hewitt will sup
port Mr.. Adams. 1t is coming and l pre-
dict its arrival within the next two months.
Then you may look for lively scattering
on the present Union Pacific organization.
} Things can't go on on very much longer as
they are going now. Through the conduct
of c. H. McKibben Vice-President Hol-
comb was led to believe that a conspiracy
had been coneocted in Dickinson's Office to
down him. That is why Dickinson
and Choate were removed. He thought
they had something to DO with
it 1 know nothing about choate, but
Dickinson was innocent. McKibben. of
course, had it in for Holcomb and used to
vent his spleen before any BODY and
every body in Dickinson's office, but SO far
as conspiracy goes, 1 don't think such
thing was ever considered. On the firm
belief that he had the unyielding support
of Adams McKibben stood alone, and made
, the fight for supremacy on his hook.n

The Mystery About Silver Purchases

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-F'or some I'M
explained reason the treasury officials are
disposed to be very secret, and mysterious
in regard to to-day's silver tranactions.
They refuse absolutely to give out any
information in regard to offers for the sale
of silver bullion to the government which
may have been received by the department
to-day, under circular of August 1t is por-
bable, however, that if any purchases were
mace to-day the fact will be made public
about o'clock this afternoon. The direc-
tors of the mint said this Afternoon that
the department will during tue AFTERNOON
announce the London prices Of silver but
will not under any circumstances let the
public know the rates paid by the govern
ment for its purchases, provioed any are
made.
The director of the mint this afternoon
gave out the following statement in regard
TO the silver purchased with the remark
that this is all there is to say about it:''
The London quotation IS 81 "a pence, sterl-
ing exchange 4.eIl5, parity 1.l254. The
purchases for Philadelphia, San Francisco
and New Orleans minis is 100000 ounces.
He declined absolutely to say anything in
regard to the price paid. 1t was learned,
however. from another source that the pur-
chases we've at rates slightly in excess of
the London price-5ll@ pence-and its
market equivalent to 1.l25t. and the offers
aggregated nearly one miition ounces.

ohio FARMERS in Convention.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 13.-F'our hundred
and fifty farmers met here in state conven-
ton to-day in response to call by proml-
nent agriculturists to take action toward
presenting their interests to Congress and
the legislature. There is a strong effort to
keep the movement out of political chan
nels. A recess was taken after the ap-
pointment of committee on resolutions.
The resolutions set forth that the farmers
must take new departure and henceforth
be factor in politics. The. question was
whether this could be best accomplished
by the formation of Farmers party or by
making their influence felt in the control
of existing parties. 1t is the sense Of this

Avn on Accnnnt of Eliza.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-F'our European
steamships today landed 1 ,643 immigrants.
Among the passengers on the Wisconsin
were eighty Mormons en- roate to Utah.
There was beautiful seventeen year old
girl from England, Eliza Gill. She was q
convert and was on her way to join her
father, a Mormon. His conversion,
twelve years ago, caused his wife
to die of grief. Eliza was trained
| by a relative and recently her father
sent an elder to convert the girl and
succeeded. On the way over the passen-
gers dissuaded Eliza from going to Utah,
but the elder was furious and denounced
them, but in vain. The girl will return to
| her English relatives.

Canadian Pacific Control Of the Wabash.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.l
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The report that the
control of the Wabash line had passed into
the control of the Canadian Poetic line
created comment among railway men this
morning. Various opinions were expressed
concerning the accuracy of the report. j.
Francis Lee, commercial agent of the
Canadian Pacific said: 81 have no official
information concerning the report, but I
think it more than probable that it is true.
OF course, the Canadian Pacific cannot
own and operate the Wabash, but | am
quite sure that a large amount of stock has
been bought up by the capitalists of our COM
pany, and it will be our best connection be-
tween Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis and
Kansas City. / have no doubt that the
two roads could be operated very profit
ably together. The volume of business ex-
changed between the lines is enormous and
could be made very much larger. The
project has long been considered and
think it likely it has now been carried out"
