life. wherefore fingers the fame2 Rest is
sweet after strife. l would sleep for

NEW YORK, May l4.-Those who
know the swift little Itata. whose career is
thought to be threatened by the action OF
certain United States cruisers, are of the
opinion that the vessel is quite as safe
now as she was In the harbor at Val
paraiso.
THE swIftsst cruiser in the United
States navy" said a gentleman Yesterday
who has made several passages on the
fugitive steamer, could not catch the
Ita,a now that she has so long a lead.
She has a remarkable speed, and can
steam fifteen knots day in and day out.
Seventeen knots is by nc means too much
for her. She is a comparatively new
British built boat, with very fine lines and
improved compound engines. She Is 29O
feet long, and her tonnage is something
near 1000. In view of the fact that she
was built to compete with the Pacific
Steamship Navigation company, she is OF
necessity a tirst-class vessel in every re-
spect. To send the Omaha in chase of
such a craft would be like sending a tor
tolse after a reindeer. If the Itata Is
caught it will be by the San Francisco or
the Pensacola heading her of, but ever
in that event she could run into one of
the numerous ports along the coast and
take advantage of the neutral water to
protect herself. The officers of the Itata
are Englishmen, and they know every an
chorage along the coast as well as you
know the numbers on Broadway. Natur-
ally, they will hug the shore to prevent
being caught very far outside neutral
water.

Conductor Nash was waiting for his
train to pull out last night when he saw a
man breaking a seal of a car preparatory
to crawling in and stealing a ride. Nash
notified Waterman Nowlan. and together
they started after their man, and he led
them a lively chase. Nowlan caught a
glimpse of him crossing Crow creek, and
drawing in his breath, started out for a
race. The fugitive was a sprinter, how
ever, and the last time seen he was going
over a hill like a jack rabbit. Nowlan in
tends to 20 into training, SO that next
time he can make a better run.

There was a ggod meeting of the De-
batting club last evening, and the question
for discussion was debated with much
fervor. "Resolued, hat Nihilism is
just" was the question, but the debate

sassination is Just" The question was
decided in the affirmative. The speakers
were John Charles THOMPSON, Mr..
Brewer, Judge Peck, DR.. Cowhick, Prof.

READY FOR Ess.
The Big Engine In the con Edition
of The Shops Set in MotIon.

The work of setting up the machinery,
particularly the three large boilers and
the big Corliss engine, in the Union Pa
ciic car shops is completed. 1t was de-
lAyed about three weeks owing to some
hitch in the details.
The boilers were fired up late yesterday
afternoon and the big engine started in
motion. The test was in every way salts
factory. The machinery moved with the
precision of clock-Work, just as though it
had been IN operation for months past.
The engine is of the Corliss pattern, lSO-
horse over. and was built by Manning,
Maxwell & Moore Of Milwaukee. 1t is
intended to run all OF the machinery in
the second edition of the shops, lately
completed and now ready for operations.
Everything is now ready for business.
Requests have gone in for an additional
force to man the new shops and these re-
quests will probably be at once complied
with. Since the advent of Superinten-
tendent Barnum the capacity of the
shops have been increased from one
TO eight locomotives a month. The
force at present at his COM
mand is doing SPLENDID work, but with
locomotives coming in from all sides,
north, south, east and west, many more
men will be needed to keep pace with the
material. No intrmation has yet been
received as to the number of additional
men who will be set to work. The pres
ent force OF 34l pen could be doubled to
good advantage with the surety of steady
employment for an indefinite time in the
future.

A LITTLE FLIGHTY.
Sick and Feeble an DID Soldier Needed
Attention.

Yesterday morning when the passenger
train pulled in from the West a passenger
got off and by his queer actions aroused
some curiosity among lockers on. His
name is Pat Kennedy aud he was on his
way from Dillon, Mont, where he has
been in the hospital, to the soldiers home
IN Galesburg. Ill. Kennedy wandered
off south of the tracks and got lost, but
was hunted up by John Nowlau, the night
Waterman. Nowlan aud Sam Finch, the
day Waterman, kept an eve on the old
soldier all day. His money and vaiuables
were taken from him and kept until he
started East on No I last night. Among
his possessions we're his discharge papers
which showed that he had served IN Co.
H. 47th Illinois infantry and Goa, I3Sth
illinois infantry. Those who saw Ken
needy thought him insane, though Mr..
Finch says he is not but is only enieebled
by disease.

BOYCOTT THREATENED.

Special Dispatch to The Leader.
OMAHA, NAV 14-There is a well de-
fined feeling in local railway circles that
the action of the Northwestern in dis.
charging its switchlnen is likely at any
moment to involve the lines west of the
Missouri river in more serious compiled
tons. Especially is this true of the
Union Pacific In view OF the fact that it
handles all Northwestern traffic. The
Switchmen's Brotherhood is exception
ally strong on the lines centering in Omaha
and should the men discharged by the
Northwestern make a demand that they
refuse to handle the cars OF that com
pany the boycott would, in all
probability, be effective. Both in
official circles and among employees it is
felt that this demand is certain to follow
the refusal of the Northwestern to submit
the matter to arbitration. Members of
the switchmen's union are uncommunica-
tive tonight as to their intention 10 the
premises, but appear to give the matter
little concern. General Manager Clark
declared that he had not thought of the
probable effect of the Northwestern's &C
ton on Union Pacific traffic, but could see
no reason why his road should be dragged
into the matter. All Northwestern cars
are being hurried through with great
rapidity as fast as they arrive. as if a gem
eral desire exists to haye all that traffic
out of the yards in the event the switch
men establish the boycott and refuse to
handle the traffic.

or diverted from their policy Of seif-pro-
lection. While foreign commerce Is within
certain limits beneficial and desirable,
there is no country in the world which at
all comparably to ours can rely upon its
own resources and prosper.
For the first eight months OF the current
fiscal year American exports of cotton,
mainly to Europe, were about 20 per cent.
greater in quantity, and at somewhat
higher price than during the correspond
ing period of the year before, with farm
products generally in increased quantity
and at much higher prices, in some eases
the advance amounting to 20 to 100 per
cent. There can be no doubt that il would
be better for our country If more of these
exports were consumed at home; If our
own factories were working up this cotton,
and consequently increased population
were consuming the wheat, corn and meat
products, or larger proportion of them,
that we are sending abroad.
This German Bund arrangement will rem
der the United States most distinguished
service if il shall induce our people to be-
come correspondingly more careful to pat
ronize home industries and home produc-
tons. They can afford, much better than
Germany or an other member of the pro-
posed Bund can, such change of policy as
will keep larger proportion of this cotton
and these farm products at home, to be
worked up and consumed here. Certainly
we will not suffer from the change. Can
the proposed Bund nations, with any con-
fidence, say as much?

THE ENLARGED SCHOOL DISTRICT.

II looks as If the law of common sense
would have to be applied to the new con-
dition created by the result of the recent
election annexing suburban territory. and
so taking in outside school districts.
There is no precedent in this state, and
the law is silent on the subject There are
several somewhat similar circumstances
referred to throughout the statutes, and
they will have to be added together and
n rational conclusion arrived at by sub
traction.
The general law contemplates and makes
very detailed provision for subdivision of
districts but none for absorption. Where,
however, higher rank is TO be reached as,
for instance the union of two or more
school districts for the purpose of estab-
fishing graded school, il is provided that
the directors of both subordinate districts
shall be succeeded by a new board TO be
elected by the union district. This is the
nearest approach TO annexation" referred
TO in the statute.
There is a special law, however, applying
10 cities of 10000 and more population,
which will govern the action of the au-
thorities from the standpoint of Seattle
II is provided therein that whenever any
incorporated city in this state shall have a
population of ten thousand or more inhab-
itants, as shown by any regular or special
census. together with any adjacent or
contiguous territory that now is or may be
hereafter attached 10 said city for school
purposes" it shall constitute one school
district, and the title TO all school property
"owned by any school district within the
corporate limits of any city shall, upon the
organization Of district under the provis-
ions of this act, vest Immediately In the
new district"
This clearly applies only 70 conditions
existing at the time of the passage Of the
act, and it is not any more substantial for
the present purpose than q succeeding sec
ton, which says that, should there be
mere than one board of directors in any
city, each shall continue 70 serve out its
unexpired term.
Having acquired by knowledge of these
sections the intention of the legislature,
il will probably be necessary then TO
revert 10 the general law which requires
school boards TO consist Of three members
elected to serve three years, enc Of whom

Deiu.ion of Unrestricted Reciprocity

Sir Charles Upper, in North American Review
Brought face 10 face in the recent campaign
with the electors, Sir Richard Cartwright de-
clared that the opposition would not take the
United States tariff, and repudiated his own
henchman, Farrer. Mr.. Laurier went further
and denied that their policy of unrestricted re-
ciproeity involved discrimination against Eng
land But the ugly fact remained that Mr.
Wiman, convicted by the letters of Mr.. Farrer
and Mr.. Hit of being engaged in reasonable
conspiracy to subvert British institutions in
Canada, still implored for "moral support
from congress and the people of the
United States for the Laurier-Cart-
wright party, and the government were
sustained by larger majority than they had
at the previous general elections. To complete
the discontinue of the opposition, this was fol-
lowed by the publication of letter from the
Hon. Edward Blake, one of the most able and
respected members of that psrty, who, rather
than bind himself TO their policy, had ceased 10
be their leader, and now declares that his re-
fusal to go into the battle with them was be-
cause he was ''unable to fight under false
colors." Mr. Blake, who today represents the
great body OF the opposition, who, with lew
exceptions are loyal to British institutions, has
rudely torn the "mask' TO which Farrer alluded
from the faces of the conspirators, and the de-
fusion of unrestricted reciprocity may be re-
gardsd As dead and buried.

COL. coMpros.s INSTRUMENTATION.

Colonel Compton's last defense-plainly
an afterthought-of his fateful laxity in
connection with the Walla Walla lynch
ing, is tainted with that spirit of insubor-
dination with which he very properly
charges his subordinates. No other view
can be taken of his harsh criticism of the
new rules and regulations which the law
and the orders of his superiors have estab-
lished in respect TO the relations between
army officers and the rank and file, and his
sneering reference to the new code of mil
itary ethics emanating from the same
sources.
There was some force, or at least some
plausibility to Colonel Compton's conten-
ton that the failure Of the sheriff to offer
vigorous resistance to the mob, and his
ready acquiescence in their demands, IN
some measure mitigated his (the colonels)
offense If he had relied upon this alone
there might have been some division of
public sentiment as TO his sole response
bility, and some sympathy for him on ac-
count of the load of opprobrium he has
had to bear.
But this after-plea changes the whole
aspect of his case. The new rules and
regulations, and the new code of military
ethics apply no less to the balance of the
army than to his command. They were
not made and applied to the Walla Walla
post and to him and his regiment alone.
Therefore, if the implication of his argu-
ment were of any value we might look for
the whole army to present the lack of dis
cipline, dignity, and the Generalization
which his command displayed in the
lynching affair.
But such is not the fact. There is testi-
mony from many quarters that subordina-
ton, discipline and the esprit de corps has
been materially improved in many COM
mands under the operation of the new
rules and the new code, and manifestly in
consequence of them. There is testimony,
and good deal of it, that the new rules
and the new code have beyond expecta-
ton accomplished their purpose of ele-
waiting the sense and the standard of man.
hood among the army rank and file.
But IL it were otherwise; if discipline
had been impaired by rules that regard
them more as men and soldiers and less
as menials. there is nothing in the new
rules or code that would have forbidden
the Colonel from issuing an order against
their leaving camp that night, or from
ordering them into the guardhouse if they
disobeyed. When, therefore, he charges
TO lack of discipline among his men the
results of his failure TO issue orders that
might have tested their discipline, he is
manifestly unjust TO them. But when he
seeks escape from the Dilemma by charg-
ing to the new rules and code-and infer
entially the law and his superiors-with
| primary responsibility, he certainly shows
his need of being taught what subordina-
ton and discipline mean when applied to
the wearers of epaulets.
