Union Pacific Gives Notice of a Restor-
alton of Rates.

CHICAGO, March 2L-A telegram was
received late yesterday by several of the
lines, which yesterday sent joint tele-
gram to the Union Pacific, asking its CO.
operation in raising rates west of the Mis-
souri, river, which occasioned great amuse-
ment. 1t was signed by Z. L. Lomax,
general passenger agent of the Union
Pacific. and stated that the Union Pacific
was much pleased over the friendly feel
ings entertained for it by the Chicago
lines; that it was anxious to have the
rates restored. and concluded: "We have
given individual notice of the restoration
of rates from the Missouri river to Cali
fornia."
Before this message was cold another
came from b. H. PAYNE, assistant general
freight agent of the Union Pacific, declaring
the first message had been sent through
error. 1t had been given TO a stenographer
10 hold, and the stenographer had let it
slip. The lines were requested to con-
-ider the first message cancelled. The
general opinion is that between the send
ing of the two kilograms the Northwestern
had requested the Union Pacific not to re-
store rates west OF the river unless they
were advanced east of it,
The Western Passenger association lines
today made no progress toward restoring
the rates between the Missouri river and
chicago but will try again tomorrow. A
representative of the Atchison road WAS
present during the larger portion of the
meeting and for time il seemed as though
the Atchison and Northwestern would
agree, but when the meeting reconvened
a1ter lunch, the Atchison was not In evil
uence, and after waiting for two
hours, the meeting adjourned.

FIT SUBJECT FOR LYNCH.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March pa bloody
tragedy occurred at Midvale this evening.
John Sanders, Polish boarding house
keeper, had a quarrel with Mills Bishop
He fired at the latter with a rife This
shot missed Bishop, but killed a 2-year-
old boy III his mothers arms in ali djoin-
ing room. The second shot entered
Bishops body near the heart. Sanders
then accused his wife of being too intimate
with the bOarders and shot her twice, in
the leg and in the neck. The latter
wound will probably prove fatal and
it is believed Bishop can live but few
hours. 10 less than an hour a mob of coo
gathered at Sanders house and attempted
TO tear il down. Sanders fired upon them.
His amnnition was soon exhausted and
he was arrested. Al effort was made to

OMAHA. March 22-Union Pacific EN-
ployes are uneasy and restive and there Is
an ugly look in the sky. They are not say
ing many words, but the few they use
count for a good deal. Concessions they
rame for, ahd so far they have had none
All the conceding has been done by the
men. Not point has been given IN by the
company, and wherever there was diner
ence of opinion it still exists, unless the
men have receded from their position.
This has had a very depressing effect on
them. The men have almost reached the
conclusion that the conference Is a useless
waste of time.
This evening it was quietly announced
that unless some very substantial con-
cessions were made from the Dun0y
schedule the receivers OF the Union Ia
cific would have a strike on their hands.
The men have determined to drop the con-
ference and will now allow the receivers TO
settle for themselves the point. III they
decide to go before Judge Caldwell insist
ing on the Dundy schedule, there Will be
opposition both in and out of court. There
was a secret meeting of the men last night
at which Eugene Y. Debs and others spoke
in favor of disseminating what they all
called farce.
Mr.. DebS went over the present siLud-
tion and likened it to the Northern Pacific
affair, which ended at last in forcing the
men to yield just what the company's re
ceivers wanted. Mr. Debs drew parallel
and when he suggested that the delegates
empower their various chairrnen to get to-
gether into "A committee of action and
draft an agreement which would be salts
factory to them and which would give
them what they thought would be their
due, this to be submitted TO Mr.. Clark
in the event that Judge Caldwell was I'M
able to give what was asked, he was loudly
applauded. In the next breath he sug-
gested that the only other course open TO
the event that this demand was
not accedsd to. be taken, the applause and
appreciation continued, and Mr.. Debs'
idea was accepted by the body.
Other speakers followed and all agreed
that the present conference is farce and
will amount to nothing at all.
Another meeting will be held tomorrow
night, when the men will go still farther
into the matter and prepare for their final
demand. The platform will be presented
TO Judge Caldwell and if he finds that be
cannot accede to its provisions the men
will discover that they cannot any longer
remain in the service of the Union Pa
cific railway receivers"
TIE engineers tonight deny that they
have any intention of striking. They say
they have decided to go before Judge Cald-
well on the stand made in conference, and
not with any threats. They feel that they
have not gained anything in the confer
sDce, but believe the court will grant them
relief. They deprecate very much the talk
of striking.

Female AQuatice.

NEW YORK, March 22-Whether ladies
shall be admitted TO membership is the
interesting question that the New York
Yacht clubiis called upon to settle at its
meeting this afternoon. The matter has
been debated pro aud con for some time
past and the yachting enthusiasts OF the
gentler sex have succeeded in mastering n
strong contingent in their support. IL Is
agreed that the interest taken by women
of late years in yachting events justi6es
their admission TO the organization and
that such an evidence of liberal prOcliyi-
ties might induce more than one woman
OF wealth to blossom out as a yacht pro-
prietor and a patron of aquatics,

WASHINGTON. March - - Secretary
Gresham was before tAs house Committee
on foreign affairs today concerning the
status OF Bering sea sffairs. There were
brought out important asvelo pmeats as u
the manner in which her males ty's gov
ernmsnt was executing the award Of tho
Berinz sea court OF arbitration. The
strictes injunction was put on members
of the committee 20 refrain from discuss
ing this statement. Later in the day. how
ever. on Mr.. Greshsm's return to the state
department the general points in the hear
ing were made known.
Secretary Gresham explained the situs-
tion fully. IL appears that by the terms OF
the treaty of arbitration both Great Brit
ian and the United States bound thea-
selves 20 abide by the decision OF the court
of arbitration. 1t has been eontended thss
this court was so binding that no court ol
law. OF congress, or parliament. was need
ed to carry out the decree OF the court.
Senator Morgan, OF the arbitsrs, has
! taken the ground that the decision in itself
was part OF the organic law in both eoun-
tries. based on the original treaty which
has the same binding effect as n state law.
Secretary Gresham deemed it wise. how

sented TO the British parliament.

ject OF his trip is to complete arrangements

If Corbett meets Jackson there the fight

NAVAL AFFAIRS.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Commodore
Kirkland arrived at the1navy department
at noon today and when he left there. after
an interview W with Secretary Herbert, be
carried with him orders placing him In
command of the South Atlantic station TO
succeed Admiral Benham, who has gone to
Bluefields.
A month ago Commodore Kirkland,
then in command at the League
Island navy yard, was sent TO
Honolulu TO take command OF
the forces there and also OF tee entire
Pacific station, relieving Admiral Irwin
who win retire on April 10 The commo-
dore started for California to take the
steamer Lasuy for Honolulu, but be was
in.ercepted by a telegram to return to
Washington where he arrived today.
The south Atlantic squadron which be
will command had been reserved for Ad-
miral Stanton, but the latter will con-
tinue to command the north Atlantic
station for time at least. 1t is expected
he will ultimately yield this command to
Commodore Meade.
The change in Commodore Kirkland's s
orders make necessary new detail TO sue
ceed to the command of the Pacific sta
tion, and it was announced at the depart
ment this evening that Admiral Walker
had been selected for the place. 1t had
been the custom Of the department to
allow an officer of this grade a turn Of
four years. shore duty after so long term
of sea service. No explanation OF the cleo
ton is afforded at the navy depart
rlent. but it is learned that
Admiral Walker was chosen for the post
by Secretary Herbert alter consulting the
president. This fact leads to the copclus-
ion that the executive expects that deli
cate duties ara TO be discharged in the
near future by the commodore of the Pa
cific station, which is already the most i'm
portant command in the navy, embracing
Bering sea, Hawaii, the Pacific coast, and
the western coasts of Central and South
America Admiral Walker has not yet
been ordered to Honolulu and 1t may be
that he will not go there.
The department of state has at last call
ed upon the navy department to supply
feet to police the seal waters and every
effort is being made to get the vessels TO-
gether. They will number ten, IL SO many
can be assembled, five revenue marine and
fish commission boats. and probably the
Yorktown, Concord, Bennington and Mo-
hican. The idea of sending the Charleston
from Monievideo has been abandoned.
VINE ther Admiral Walker will himself
60 north in command of the fleet, Is not
yet known, but in view Of the uncertain
state of the regulations touching sealing
and the necessity for prompt action in emer-
gencies, it is possible the admiral himself
will be on the scene. This is more proba-
BILE from the informotion from the depart
ment that this duty is to be temporary and
that he is likely to be relieved before next
fall.
