TO DRAW THEM IN.
Seeking to Spread the
Strike.
ENGINEERS MAY QUIT WORK,
And They Certainly Will if Any At

Scabs.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

OMAHA, April 19-There may be walk
Union Pacific, or at least that is what the
striking ironworkers say. The advisory
committee Of the strikers held conference
this afternoon with delegation from the
engineers and firemen's brotherhoods, and
although the outcome is not known enc of
the strike leaders asserted that the engi-
neers would refuse to handle any engine
hred by "scabs" except those drawing fast
mall There are no indications as yet,
however, OF the engine-drvers going out.
Neither is there any indication on the part
OF the strikers TO yield the ground assumed
by them ON Monday, and things have conf
menced to settle down to long period of
strike fought out on the lines OF conserva-
tlsm, without violence and without any un-
necessary demonstration.
No more men went out to-day, and only
three or four of those out returned. The
strikers claim, however, that they will be
joined by large number of molders,
apprentices and gang bosses tomorrow.
NEW YORK, April 19.-The Wall-street
Journals Omaha special says: The indi-
cations are that the Union Pacific strike
VIII reach crisis within the next twenty
Tour hours. TIE company is preparing to
give the strikers notice 10 return to work or
have their places filed The strikers Will
then call upon the other employees to come
10 their aid. The strikers assert that every
wheel throughout the system will be
stopped when they give the signal, but the
company officials ridieule this.

SMOOTH MR.. LAMB.
How He Contrived to Make Himself
Disappear.


CHICAGO, April 19.-Lyman B. Lamb. a
millionaire from Akron, Ohio, came here
on Monday to complete n real estate deal.
In company with Attorney Newman he
went to the bank and drew S2S. 900. and
leaving the satchel containing the money
in the hands Of his lawyer lie went to a
restaurant TO eat. From that time nothing
has been heard from him, and it is sup
posed that he was followed and foully
dealt with by persons who saw him draw
the money and did not see him turn 1t over
to the attorney. The police have had a
number of men working on the ease. but so
far without result.
AKRON. Ohio. April 19-Lyman B. Lamb
one week ago went to Chicago ostensibly to
close real estate deal, taking with him
letters OF introduction to Lawyer Newman.
1t appears. that Lamb presented n draft for
$4,000 OF the New York correspondent of
the City National Bank of Akron, and
Newman indorsed it with him. On this
$4,000 was drawn. which Lamb is reported
to have left in the possession of Lawyer
Newman at Chicago. This evening the
City National Bauk received notice from
its New York correspondent that the draft
had been received and pronounced for
gerry. Information has been received in
Akron to the effect that Lamb took the
money with him when he disappeared, and
did not leave it with Newman.

HAD A NEAT SCHEME.
How SwitChmen BIackmaiied Ex-
hibitOrs at the Fair.
1t All Grew Out of the Old Enmity
Between the French and
Germans.


CHICAGO, April 19-The most novel
wholesale money-grabbing scheme which
has been brought TO light in Chicago In
many day is said to be in operation upon
Worlds Fair exhibitors, being worked by
railway switchmen in the great outlying
mazss of tracks at the grand crossing in
South Chicago and elsewhere. The abuse
had queer origin, beginning, ii is said,
with some of the shrewd Germans here
installing exhibits for Germany and Ger
man merchants. There has been a great
rivalry between the Germans and the
French since the installation began to see
who would get in order first, and it is as
serted that the Germans bribed the switch
men 10 sbnnt in the cars containing the
German exhibits first The upshot was
that the German exhibit made surprising
progress, while the French kicked their
heels and fumed. This beginning. 1t is
said, has resulted in a systematic scheme of
blackmailing by the switchmen, which.
now that il has been made public, viii
probably be stopped at once.
At the conclusion of the Worlds Fair the
monster Krupp gun, the largest piece of
ordnance in the world, will be presented to
Chicago by Herr Krupp and mounted on
fort built in Lake Michigan opposite Hyde
Park, permission for the construction of
which was secured at Washington to-day.
The fort is to be five acres in extent and
will be for business as we'll as pleasure
Mounted on /. tho great gun will be able TO
protect the entire city front from attack by
water, as it could sink an ironclad with a
single shot. Work on the fort will be COM
menced at once and pursued with the great
est rapidity, so as to be in working order
before the fair closes. 1t will cover five
acres with the most approved deienses.
Lieutenant Stafford, who until recently
had charge of the catalogue under Major
Handy, has been ordered to sea. He will
leave Chicago April 80 and next day be
whirliug toward San Francisco. His new
assignment is with the ship Alliance of the
Pacific squadron.
Tonight the great glass dome of the
mahufaeturers' building at the Worlds
Fair blazed out In unexpected glory. the
electric lights being lit up all along for the
first time. The sight was a magnificent
eone.
The half-dressed guards rushed from the
Service building at the Worlds Fair
grounds at II O'Clock tonight toward the
Manufacturers building. For hours the
rain pelted down on the roofs of ths big
buildings or was driven in sheets by the
mighty winds which had shaken the heavy
iron trusses as it struck their coverings.
The wind had been high all day, but at an
hour before midnight it was blowing almost
q hurricane.
The rain was driven with force that sent
it through every crack and crevice. The
men worked desperately and none of the
exhibits were damaged, but it was close
call for some of them on the east side of the
building, which alone was affected.
MADRID. April 19.-The Infanta Eulalia
and Don Antonio started from Santa Andre
on their way to Chicago this evening.

HAS COME To STAY.
Cleveland Is Hardly Prepared to
Abandon Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, April 10 The investiga-
tion into the working of the several recip-
rocal trade arrangements entered into by
the United States with the Central and
South American countries and with Spain
for Cuba and Porto Rico, under the pro-
visions of the Mckinley act. which Secre-
tary Gresham instituted Immediately upon
assuming the duties of his Office, has, il is
reported, led TO a determination by Presi-
dent Cleveland 20 terminate these arrange
ments with Brazil and with Spain for Cuba
and Porto Rico
Inquiry at the State Department de-
veiops the fact that the arrangements have
not yet been terminated. and it cannot Ee
ascertained that it will be a part of the
policy of the administration to abandon
reciprocity. On the contrary, the result of
tie inquiries tends to prove if any such ac-
tOn has been or will be taken with regard
10 Brazil and Spain it will be due to special
and local causes. Complaints are said to
have been received from persons doing
business with Cuba and Porto Rico that
the local officials of these islands do not OBJ
serve the requirements of the reciprocal
duty upon articles entitled to admission
free OF duty under the terms of the con-
veatlon. There Is some complaint also
made of Brazil In this direction, but not
nearly to SO great an extent as with regard
10 the islands. The treaty with Brazil is
susceptible of termination on three months
notice by either party. and that with Spain
Is 10 remain in force so long as it shall not
be modified by mutual agreement of the
executive power OF the two countries.

WANT 1T ALL.
Recommendation That the Civil Ser
vice Reform Be Extended.

vice Reform Be Extended.
nual report OF the Civil Service Commission
was issued to-day. The commissioners urge
that the classified service should be ex-
tended as rapidly rs practicable to cover
every position in the public service to which
1t can appropriately be applied. They
earnestly desire that some such q bill as
that introduced In the last Congress, to
take fourth-class postmasiers out OF politics,
may become law. The report continues:
ultimately the system of promotions in
the departments must come under the im-
mediate supervision of the commission in
order TO secure uniformity and the best re-
suits. Very serious harm, in our judgment,
results from allowing chiefs Of divisions to
be exempted from examination. and we
think they should be put under the general
rule and be appointed by promotion from
within the service"
The report shows a very surprising
growth in the number OF employees COM
pared with the growth of the population.
The percentage of growth in the public
service in ten years was nearly double that
Of the population. The service classified
for examination under civil service rules
have grown even faster in the same space
of time, increasing at the rate of about 130
per cent, so hat whereas only about IL per
cent of the public service was removed from
party politics in 1888, about 81 per cent in
1893 was so removed. Tho whole number of
places subject to competitive examination
under the rules is now 42,92S.

EDWIN BOOTH DYING.
Stricken With Paralysis at the
Players Club.
He Lies in His Room Almost Uncon-
scious, and the Doctors Give
Little Hope.
Special to The MORNING CALL,

NEW YORK. April 19.-Edwin Booth, the
tragediau, is lying at the Players Club in
Gramercy Park, suffering from paralysis.
1t Is believed that this, the second paralytc
stroke the famous actor has been stricken
with, will prove fatal.
AT IL o'clock this morning Superintendent
MeGonigle OF the Players Club not having
heard from Mr.. Booth, opened the door OF
his sleeping apartment at the club and
found the tragedan lying in bis bed uncon-
scious. DR.. St Clair Smith and DR.. Ran
som were Immediately summoned and they
gave it as their opinion that he had been
seized with a parslytic stroke some time
during the night, Drs. Smith and Ransom
remained with the patient all day, and at
midnight thought there were some signs OF
consciousness.
The condition of the actor is considered
very critical, and the attending physicians
said it was very doubtful il he would re-
cover.
In fact, 1t is scarcely even to be hoped
that Mr. Booth will recover For several
years now, indeed ever since the close OF his
tour with the late Lawrence Barrett, he has
been growing steadily weaker and weaker,
and for months his friends have known that
he was physical wreck and that his days
on the stage were over. Nevertheless, 1t
has pleased Mr. Booth to believe the falling
strength would come back to him. Possibly
that was the surest and most pitiful sign OF
his falling. And his friends have humored
this belief. and so there have been from
time to time stories sent out that the great
tragedian was preparing once more to tread
the boards and to delight the critical lovers
OF the drama as no other man of his time or
hnfnFn had InIf
The stories were published and given
wide publicity, merely for the qualification
given in reading them to the man whose
brilliant light of intellect was going down,
down gradually into the darkness. II was
harmless deceit enough, and after the first
of the stories came out the public learned
to know their purpose and ceased to expect
ever to see again the greatest actor of his
time. Meanwhile, at his rooms in the
Players Club, Mr.. Booth has failed steadily
from day to day, rarely being seen by any
save his most intimate friends. Nov there
is gloom in the hearts of those in the city
who knew him and loved him, for 1t is be-
lieved that the end is come.
Booth gave his last performance at the
Academy Of Music In Brooklyn on April 3,
1891.
lie has been in the habit OF leaving the
club to dine with his daughter once or twice
a week and he went to the theater a few
times. The last time he was seen in public
was on April 8. when lie attended Alrxau-
der SalvinPs performance at the Manhattan
Opern-house. For the last few days he has
not been so well.
NEW YORK. April 2O.-At 1 A. NJ. It was
announced at the club house that Booth
was sinking, and while he might recover his
condition is more precarious than at any
time since his attack
