The Railroad Inv stigation at Omaha,

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 1.-TSpecial telegram
to The HERALD. The railroad officials
won first blood today in the investigation
instituted by the Interstate commerce
commission by securing the indefinite
postponement of the case against the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the most serious one. 1t was
made necessary by the failure of the fed
eral officials to find a number of important
witnesses. Three gentlemen who are
very much wanted as witnesses
have disappeared and the United
States marshals have not yet found an OPP
portunity to read certain subpPnas to
them. The missing men are George Car
man, superintendent of the Western
Weighing association. Il. Orr, au-
ditor of the Western Weighing
association. and James Viles, jr,
manager of the Omaha Packing company.
MIR. Carman has an Office in Chicago, but
he has not been there for rome time past
and those in charge of the office say he is
cut west A subpoena has been on the trail
OF MIR. Carman for two wee Ks, but it has
been altogether too slow to catch that gen
tleman- MIR. Orr has his headquarters
and his home in Omaha, and until two
weeks or so ago it was not such very hard
matter to see him, or at least to locate his
whereabouts, but now-well, he disap-
peareQ from Omaha when the present
trouble began to brew and apparently for
got to come back. 1t generally takes some
thing more than an accident TO keep man
out of the track Of hungry deputy mar
shsl, whose bread and butter depends on
serving subpGnas, but Mr.. Orr seems TO
have been the lucky exception TO the rule.
Mr.. Viles also hiss his home in the city, but
Uncle Sans representatives have been
assured that he only comes to Omaha about
once month, spending moet of his time in
the east
These gentlemen are regarded as very
important witnesses against the Missouri
Pacific and the prosecution dislikes to go
on with the investigation until they are
brought within the grasp OF the court. 1t
was hoped that they would be located by
10 day, and there is whisper in official
circles of possible sensation. These cases
will try the patience of the grand Jury.
The alleged determinations are said 10
cover period Of twenty three months, and
/ the jury is contemplating the task of going
through the traffic records of that time As
no service could be secured the United
States attorney had the Missouri Pacific
case continued till next term, declaring
that Gould's officials could not balk him
and that they would yet have the men be
fore the grand jury. The other cases will
| come up tomorrow.

ally low stage of water in the whole chain
of the great lakes. Vessels with more than
thirteen and half feet draught cannot
pass through the $500" canal. The water
in the lake here this morning was lower
than ever before recorded. This is due to
the low stage of water, and the fact that a
south wind drove the water away from this
end OF the lake. For short time this morn
ing the city water supply was seriously
threatened. So low was the water exposed
in the lakes at the crib that the pumps
could get only half the usual amount The

Discussion on the italian Budget.

ROME, Dec. lin discussion on the
budget, Tuzzetti, minister of the treasury,
said excessive expenditures and over
estimation of receipts caused the budget
for 1892 to show deficit of ], Zoo, 900 lire,
which new economies and financial meas
ures would amply cover. Signor Tuzzetti
added that in the budget for 1892 the reve-
nue. would cover all expenditures and give
q surplus of over 100000 lire. This is
the first time in the history of Italian
finance that such result will
be achieved, but to secure this
parliament must accept all the govern
ment's proposals. He said the treasury
debt now amounted to 457, 000, 900 lire. In
stead of meeting the debt in the usual
course by the issue of rentes, he proposed
TO issue treasury bonds for seven and and
a half years, redeemable annually, to be
subscribed for only in Italy.
Able fnsnciers here consider Minister
Tuzzet has overestimated the govern
ment's income by 100000 lire.

himself as entirely confident of the result.
The mills men are endeavoring to make
New England unit, and they say they ex-
pect all the votes from that section except
two. This claim, however, is not conceded
by the other candidates, nor Is Crisp's
claim to New Jersey conceded.
McMillin said to-day that he saw no rea-
son to change bis opinion that the fight
will be q long one, in which case his
strength would increase and that he felt
matters were going along satisfactorily.

and said he was more than holding his own
as respects the first votes, and had to-day
made material progress in providing for
the event OF break among the other can
didates, a great many Representatives hav-
their votes whenever they changed.

the speakerxhip question is awaited with
some interest. Friends OF Mills express
more confidence than those of any one else
