The Union Pacific Preparing to Meet
the Canadian Pacific.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-General Passenger
Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific ar
rived to-day, and was in conference with
the Western Passenger Association lines
in immediate connection with the Union
Pacific. He said the Union Pacific was
preparing to meet the rates recently de-
clared by the Canadian Pacific, and is
seeking the support of its connections
before so doing. There is every prob
ability that through continental rates
will be cut in a few days.
The Southern Pacific has notified the
Atchison that after March Ist it will ac-
cept no tickets to San Francisco reading
over the Atchison from Los Angeles. This
threat, if carried out, will result in further
decentralization of rates, as the Atchison
may decide to deduct the $I5 rate from
Los Angeles to San francisco, and make
the San Francisco rate the same as the
Los Angeles; to meet this the Southern
Pacific would be compelled to rate via
Ogden.

MORTON IN DISFAVOR.
The Agricultural Secretary and His
Son Hung in Effigy.


NEBRASKA CITY (Neb.), Feb. 16.-J.
Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agricult-
ure, and his youngest son Carl. were
hanged in efigy last night i'll the City
Park, and this morning the figures
whirled about before a strong north
wind. The stuffed clothing bore pla-
card, which stated in effect that the fig
ures represented the remains Of the Neb-
braska City Democratic Marching Club.
The city has been greatly excited all day
over the affair, and strenuous efforts are
being made to discover the guilty parties.
The cause for the outrage is supposed TO
be dissatisfaction among a few Democrats
over the recent appointments made by
the Secretary; one this week, that of
Tagger, at the packing-hou in this city,
being particularly distasteful. Morton's
friedns say they will prosecute the par
ties if apprehended.

MAY BRooKYN,s DEATH

The subject of GenSral Comment in
New York Theatrical Circles.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The fate of May
Brooklyn, who committed suicide in San
Francisco yesterday, was the subject of
general comment in theatrical circles to-
day. She is said to have been engaged to
Frederick A. Lovecraft, Palmer's former
business manager, and it is considered a
melancholy coincidence. He, too, COM
mitted suicide some months ago, and
used the same poison as Miss Brooklyn,
carbolic acid. Buttons" to whom the
San Francisco dispatch says Miss
Brooklyn left her effects, has frequented
the theatrical district some years. He is
now about 26 years old, but from boy
hood Miss Brooklyn took a friendly in
terest in him.
Miss Brookyn's past is dimly known.
1t is believed from disconnected facts
which she gave concerning her early life
that she was the daughter of an English
curate of good family. She married at l6
Captain King, an English army officer,
but her married life was unhappy and
they separated a few years after. She
went upon the stage, making her debut
in Irving's company. In short time
she became star. and travelled in the
provinces.
The real. name of the dead actress is un-
known. She came here from England in
1883 with a fair professional reputation.
She appeared here for the first time as
Claire in the 'Ironmaster," at the Fifth
avenue Theater, April 3, 1884. In 1885
she became member Of BldwelPs Stock
Company in New Orleans, and remained
there until the spring of 1887, when she
returned here and joined Palmer's Stock
Company, remaining with it to the end.
Henry G. Jarrett, the actor, who was in
Palmers company with Miss Brooklyn
five years, and also knew her in England,
says she had been very despondent for
sometime, and often spoke OF suicide.
When parting with her in the West jar
rett says she spoke OF Lovecrafts sad
fate, and said: 81 won't be here long

received here from boats crew which
landed from the American line steamer
Paris. which recently sailed from South
ampton for New York, that in the storm
of last Tuesday the rudder of the Paris
was carried away. A rudder was rugged
by means of which the vessel managed to
make her way back to Daunt's rock, off
the south coast of Ireland, where her COM
nlander thought it best to anchor and
send for assistance. The vessel at no
lime was in any danger, and all went
well on board.

The Paris arrived here to-day and an

#7yill proceed by steamer Berlin on Sun
aay.
Captain Randle says the lower part of
the broken steel rudder weighs upward
OF thirteen tons when separated from the
stock. When the stock broke there was
great danger of damage to the hull. The
peril was greatest when the Paris was in
seaway and stopped. If the steamer had
not had twin screws she would become
unmanageable The accident is attributed
to the sudden Jerk of the rudder and the
force of the sea when the steamer was
pitching. Captain Bandle complains that
he signaled a National line steamer on
Tuesday that his rudder was disabled,
and the National liner paid no attention

of all orders, directions, instructions or

He explained that the committee rec
commended the passage of the resolution
amended so as to call for all orders from
March 4. 1892, instead of 1893 He yielded
a moment to Boutelle, who urged the i'm
portance of the resolution, which he said
had already been delayed six weeks. The
information called for by it, he thought,
should have been before the House when
the Hawaiian resolution was being de-
bated.

vision.

the Whole on the seigniorage bill, and

YELLOW FEVER IN THE UNITED STATES
FLEET.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-There is no
longer any doubt that yellow fever has

BY this time the Newark is probably
well on her way to cooler southern ports.
She will probably make her destination
at Maldonado, at the mouth of the Rio de
la Plata. While the Newark has acquired
a reputation as fever ship this is not
likely to be as serious matter as it
would have been in the days of the old
navy, when, if vessel was once tainted
with yellow jack, it could never be again
safely allowed TO remain in tropical
waters during the hot season.
The new process of disinfection and
substitution of steel for wood in the hull,
and the many fittings of The ships have
made it possible to eXterminate the last
fever germ within a short time after the
infected vessels arrival in healthtul
climes.
Minister Mendonca does not fear the
present outbreak of fever at Rio will be
very serious in its results, and certainly
not so far as the naval vessels are con-
cerned, for in their case it is entirely
feasible, by rigid sanitary regulations
