Ths operators pointed out the futility OF

on zoing ahead.
Some discussion followed. and the con-
ference agreed TO abandon rules and regu a.
tions consideration for a time snd take up
the wage schedule. They began the work,
station By station, commencing az Council
Bluffs. and when aiiOaTnment was taken

DOCTORS DISAGREE.
Two Causes Assigned for the Sui
&. tan OF Moroceo's Death.

es.: tan of Moroceo's Death.
LONDON. June IA Standard dis
patch from Madrid says the Spanish
minister at Tansier teiexraphs the
government that the foreign minister at
Tangier @7has informed the foreign
representatives that the sultan died
OF malignant fever, from which he
rad suffered before. No doctor was
preSents at the time of his death. All
the Spanish officers and diplomats here
who have been recently in Morocco ap-
pretended serious trouble il the fanatl-
cal party headed by Muiey Mahommsd,
the eldest son OF the late sultan, should
resist the proclamation of his brother
as sultan. 1t appears that Muiey
Mahpmmed mad lately given his
father so much effense that he
kept him under arrest for soma time
and demonstrated, with him for hi feroc-
Ity and bad condnct.b but had ultimately
allowed him to 60 to Fee. Four brothers
OF the late sultan are also likely to
p-ove source Of trouble to Abdul
Aziz. "A dispatch to a news agency
from 'TangIeF says: According I'd the
certificates of the doctors who attended
him. the calse of the sui
tan's death was dysentery. BE
was conscious until the slast
and desired that Abdul Aziz should
succeed him. There is danger of re-
volt being organized in favor Of, +Nfmley
lshmael, a brother of the deceased sui
tan, and who has been acting as the
representative of the sultan at Fec. and
is popular fav0rite. 'flie MINISTERS
and officers Of the army have sworn al
legiance to Abdul Aziz, who is STAYING
at kabat. ThB troops at Casa Blanca
have accepted the new sovereign, but
tile allegiance OF the troops at Rabat Is
doubtful.

= OMAHA. Neb., June 1.-THE rain in
this vicinity has ceased, but the Mis-
souri, river continues to rise steadily.
The possible danger line is. eighteen
feet, and the stare of water is
something over fourteen feet The
local United States weather bureau
officers declare that if the condition
to the north were of a fOreboding
character. they would receive tele-
graz HE commune alton at once, and the
danger at Omaha depends upon sudden
rise to the north. The indications are,
however, for increasing rains in this
vicinity and to the north. which makes
the situation. more serious. The
river taday is pouring into Florence
lake. This is lake Of water
few miles aboveTthe city formerly the
old river bed. and for years the river
threatened to return to its ancient
channel by this course. This
would result in the destruction of
millions of dollars worth of
property, as the old river bed for miles
is crowded with freight yards. big ware
houses and residences. While the rise
to very dangerous stage. it
would take even more to force 1t
into the old channel as the property
owners along the route have taken
every precauIion to protect their places
with artificial MEANS, Tonight the
river men are watching the encroaching
water. The river cannot possibly
reach the danger line before noon to-
morrow at the most rapid rise.
