Union Pacific REORGANIZATION.

Omaha, March 26-It is now learned
through a private letter from Samuel
Carr. the chairman OF the Union Pacific
reorganization committee. to an Omaha
man, that the committee is making favor
able progress. 1t is almost certain that the
Short Lines new management will take
charge of the property August /. and it
is probable that the reorganization COM
mittee will have made such progress that
the receiver will take charge July /.
While II is true that the property will
leave the Union Pacific fold, IL is equally
certain that the receiver will be favorable
to the Union Pacific and that there will
be but little change in the affairs of the
road from the present state. The Union
Pacific will continue to enjoy all the
privileges IL has at present while IL will
be relieved from the Indebtedness of the
Short Line. 1t is still a question whether
or not the new receiver of the Short Line
will open the Ogden gateway, thereby
letting in the competitors of the Union
Pacific for business. but IL is doubtful If
he does.

Ih French Plan.

Paris. March 26.-The chamber of
deputies, 2S6 to 270, has voted for the
government proposal of the principle
of an income tax, but has referred the
details of the scheme to a committee.
The income tax proposal has been in
tended as the central feature of the
plan Of the present government and it
has been believed extremely doubtful
whether its proposal could pass the
legislature. The action tonight is in
the nature of compromise endorsing
the principle of an income tax, but
throwing aside the details of the gov
eminent scheme.

Tacoma, Wash, March 26.-An exciting
scene, which approached a riot, occurred
in the superior court this afternoon.
Charles Barrett and William Morrissey,
who are wanted in Portland for burglary,
had been released on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. A squad of police was present
to rearrest them, but Judge Parker held
they could be retaken only after the is
suance of new warrants. Being free, the
men rushed for the stairway. When Pros
ecutor Davis shouted TO the police to
seize them he was opposed by Frank
Smalley. their attorney. The lawyers
grappled and used their fists but were
finally separated. Chief of Police Smith
ordered his men to take charge of the
alleged burglars, which they did, TIA ough

some Railroad Figures.

Washington, March 26.-In response to
a resolution. the secretary of the interior
has sent to the senate a statement from
the office of the railroad commissioner
showing the cost of construction of the
Union Pacific to have averaged $4,000 a
mile; of the Central branch, $27, 313; Sioux
City & Pacific, $4,000. and of the Kansas
Pacific $53,767. The report shows that as
early as 1881 the officials of the roads re-
fused TO report to the government officials
the amount of stock held by individual
stockholders and this information has
never been in the possession of the COM
missioner. The commissioner is also ig-
norant as to where the bonds of the COM
panies are held. The mortgage debt of the
Union Pacific. exclusive of the govern
ment lien, is $50, 7S2, SS5.

Chicago, March 26-The badly de-
composed body of an unknown man
was found to-day in a trunk bought at
an auction in Wakem & McLaughlin's
warehouse at 504 North Water street
The auction was a regular disposal of
unredeemed property and many curious
purchasers were on hand. The sale
was almost over when a large rough
box was dragged out and offered. Bids
were made and the box was knocked
down to two men from the suburb of
Austin. Inside was a square trunk,
which was broken open, disclosing the
badly decomposed body of man.
There was nothing to indicate where
the box came from. The police are in
vestigating the case.

Grover CleveIand's Romance.

Something like 20 years ago a love
affair developed in a New York towr
between a charming young woman and
lawyer He was something Older
than herself and had been for a LONG
time a sort of a family friend. AS
such he met her mothers fullest an.
prevail, but when 1t came to be a ques-
ton of son-in-law she demurred ener-
getically. Though not rich, she was
comfortably well off. Moreover, she
was very ambitious. Her sons were fiat
failures. All her hopes were centered
in her daughter. The young woman
was no beauty, but had been highly ed
ucated, and in music came within a
heair's breath of having genius. So
the wooer was sent about his business
the mother saying to her intimates that
she had not taken such pains with her
daughter to see hire throw herself
away upon a poor lawyer, a man who
had no sort of future, though a good
enough sort of fellow in his way.
Then the daughter began to droop
and pine. BY way of diversion the
mother took her to the little Southern
city where she still resides. They had
friends there-other of their townfolk
had preceded them-so they came
quickly in social touch with the ma
tives-and before long the young lady's
amiability and accomplishments had
made the gallant Southern youngsters
almost overlook her want of beauty
She had, in fact, so many gallants that

gineer.
Whether or not that suited her am
bilious plans, she wisely made the
best of IL, and found a reflected happi-
ness in her daughters devotion to hus-
band and children. But those who
know both women most intimately re-
marked that the name of the old lover

lent. But other people began to speak
of ii with uncommon frequency. The
poor lawyer was climbing as man has
seldom climbed. His name was Grover
Cleveland. He was not even sheriff of
Erie county at the time when all this
was happening. After his first nomi-
nation his old sweetheart wrote him a
warm and graceful letter of congratu-
lation He replied to it in the friendli-
est vein, and nobody worked for his
election more enthusiastically than the
man who had supplanted him in the
heart of his first love. A favorite argu-
ment with that young man was: vote
for him? OF course you will! He'll do

New York, March 26-The grand
American handicap pigeon shoot was
concluded this afternoon and Orrin
Roswell Dickey of Boston, after a
stubborn fight, won first honors and
the DAILY silver cup. Simon Glover of
Rochester took second place and G.
w. Coulston of Brooklyn secured third
honors. Eight men tied for first place,
having killed "a birds each, and under
the rules of THE Interstate association
they had to shoot off miss and OUT
to determine the position in which they
would be placed. These eight men,
however, before the shoot-off, agreed
to divide all the money coming to the
eight highest guns, which amounted to
81, 957, and each man received SPA. 20.

CAUCUSES TONIGHT
Democrats Will Elect Delegates to a
Convention.
THEY WILL NAME THE TICKET
Saturday Afternoon In Standard
Hall Republicans Hating Be-
tween Two CpinIons-Candi-
dates scarce his Year

Democrats in the several wards Of this
city will rally in caucus tonight to name
delegates to a city convention which will
be held Saturday afternoon in the Stand
ard hall at . o'clock to name the alder
manic candidates.
The First ward democrats will meet in
the city hall, Second ward at the fire hall,
Third ward at the French hall, Fourth
ward at Foskett's hall.
The caucuses will be called to order at
: o'clock p. m. when an organization will
be effected. Each ward is entitled TO 10
delegates and 10 alternates should be
named.
Chairman Davidson of the republican
forces expects TO call a convention for
early in next week. Whether a distinctly
partisan ticket will be named has not
been decided, but in the consultations of
the party men there has been a tendency
toward making a citizens ticket.
All parties are having difficulty in find
ing men who are willing TO become un-
popular by serving as aldermen, which
has been the fate of so many good men.
The lot of a councilman is as unhappy as
that of a policeman and a citizen who un-
dertakes TO serve in that capacity is de-
serving of credit for his bravery as well
as his patriotism. Most of those who have
been mentioned have been imploring their
friends for one reason or another not to
put them up under any consideration.
DIR. Lesser positively declines the re-
nomination for the Third ward from the
republicans. Judge Fitzpatrick declines
absolutely, Alderman Williams withdrew
in the Fourth, j. T. Twohy discovered
that he was not eligible and J. p. Dunn
has not given the populists a decided an
swer. In the other wards the suggestions
have been more in a general way, but 1t
is feared that difficulty will be expert
enced there as elsewhere in getting desir-
able timber for the tickets.

troops commanded by Colonel Sanchez
and E. Chevarria have captured the
camps of the insurgents at Cherito
and Santa Monita, province of Pinar
Del Rio. and are said to have obtained
possession of nearly all the supplies of
the insurgents in that province. The
insurgents left so killed and retired
with many wounded. The troops de-
stroyed the stores which could not be
made available for the use of the army.
1t is estimated the stores captured are
