LODGE
GETS WARM.
The Author of the Pending I'm
migration Bill
Scores the North German LLOYD
Steamship Company
FOR INTERFERENCE.
FOR INTERFERENCE.
He Says the Time Has Come to
Limit Corporate Power
When This Company Seeks to
Take Senators by the Throat.

Washington, Feb. 3-The feature of
the senate yesterday was a very spirit
ed debate on the conference report on
the immigration bill Mr. Gibson of
Maryland opposed the report and Mr.
Lodge defended it. After two hours
struggle the report went over and the
Nicaragua canal bill was taken up, MI
Villas continuing his remarks Mr.
Teller of Colorado also entered the de-
bate in opposition.
Mr.. Lodge called up the conference
report on the immigration bill and
sought to secure its adoption. This, how
ever, was objected to by Mr.. Gibson
Pem-, Md who made a point of or
der He declared the conference COM
mittee had far exceeded its powers and
had injected new legislation into the
measure, thus violating the rules of the
senate.
Mr. Gibson said the bill had been so
changed that wives would be separa ted
from their husbands, repeating the cru
elites of slave days.
Mr. Lodge, in charge of the bill, de-
Tended the conference report in vigor-
Gus terms and arraigned the steamship
lines opposing this measure, particu-
larly the North German Lloyd. This
company, subsidized by a foreign gov
eminent, not only had its agents at the
capital, but had its agents telegraph
threats to senators and members.
From this same source came reports
that the president would veto the bill.
No president would make such a state
ment before seeing the bill. It came
from the same quarter as that sending
the threatening kilograms to senators.
This same steamship company will
carry it's raid from the capitol TO the
White House. When a corpora ton
sought to take senator's by the throat
it was time to limit this inSolent use of
corporate power.
Mr. Lodge resented the statement that
the bill would separate man and wife
and renew the cruelties of slave days.
The bill sought to make a broad limita-
ton against illiteracy, and if exception
was made as to wives it would have to
be made as to brothers, sisters, etc.
There would be none of the heartrend-
ing results depicted by Mr.. Gibson.

BLOCKADE OF CHARLESTON
Secretary Herbert Will Attend the
Event on March II.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 3.--Secretary
Herbert will attend the sham blockade
of Charleston by Admiral Bunce'S fleet
on the 18th of the month.
He has received and accepted an in
yitation of the Charleston chamber of
commerce. The details of the admiraPs
plans have not been given out, nor, in
fact, are they yet known at the navy
department, but the officers say that
very little of the squadron will be seen
at Charleston during the blockade, The
ships are generally of heavy draft
making it hazardous for them to at
tempt to enter the harbor, and conse-
quently they will be obliged to lie well
off at sea, lying in wait for the one or
two small craft that will be selected to
run the gauntlet. These conditions,
the lying we'll out to sea of the fleet
and the use of another port than the
one blockaded as a base of supplies,
will more nearly duplicate the condi-
tons of an actual blockade than would
be the case if the fleet should run into
Charleston harbOr.

CREIGHTON THEATER SOLD
Complications Grow Out of the Dis
posal of an Omaha Playhouse.

Omaha, Feb. Sat O'Clock last
night, on the north steps of the county
court house, a master commissioner de-
clared the Creighton theater sold to
Edward w. Nash, trustee, for the con-
sideration of S117, 800. 1t was a foreelos-
ure sale to satisfy two mortgages, one
for $4,000 and the other for $40 600, given
in March, 1885, to the Penn Mutual
Life Insurance company.
The purchaser represents certain
stockholders of the theater building
company. The sale was peculiarly COM
plicated and AL Reed and E. p. Kir-
kendall have already given notice that
they bought the theater at noon yester-
day and will at once appeal to the
court. The sale was announced TO take
place at noon. Expecting no oppOsi-
ton, the trustee representative was not
on hand and Reed and Kirkendall bid
$117, 300 and it was accepted. 1t was
night before Nash discovered the stu
alton and ne FASTENED to the master
commissioner, raised the bid $780, it was
accepted, and Reed and Kirkendalls
check for 1000, part payment, was re-
turned to them

DISPATCH OF VESSELS.
Steamers Now Get Away From Gal
weston Within a Week.

Galveston, Feb. S.-Quick dispatch of
vessels at Galveston this season has
been the subject of frequent remarks.
In previous seasons vessels were not got
ten away as swiftly as at other ports
When the bar was an obstruction there
was little regularity about dispatch.
Vessels would take a small part OF
their cargoes at the wharves and then
go outside to finish, taking cargo from
lighters. About the only thing possible
to handle with profit in those days was
cotton.
Last season 0s95-96) there was an
Improvement. Not very deep draught
vessels came here, but by loading large
ly with light cargo such as cotton they
could cross the bar. AS the season ad-
vanced the water deepened and the car
goes gradually became heavy. Exclus-
i've cargoeS of cotton became more and
more rare. But it is worthy of record
that only two vessels Hghtered cargoes
outside The Hghterage company went
out of business.
This season nobody has thought of
Tightening. Vessels have taken whatever
there was to take and gone away with
out a hitch. Last season from two to
three weeks were required to load YES
sells. But there is a difference this year,
by nearly half, "a week to ten days Suf-
ficing in nearly all cases.
An instance of this was brought out
yesterday. The steamship Arthur Head,
from Calcutta to William Parr & Co.,
rived last Sunday. Clarke & Chase were
given the contract for handling the car
go. Jute is packed like cotton. 1t comes
in bales. as hard as logs, and is screwed
into the holds@mf the vessel 1t is no
easy job to unRad such a cargo, crow
bars in the hands of strong men to dis
place the tightly compressed rows of
bales being necessity.
The work of unloading was commend
ed at o'clock Monday morning Bad
weather prevented any particular ex-
petition and the cargo was not all out
until Friday at o'clock. The vessel
was then shifted from pier 29 to pier IA
a distance of Is blocks, by o'clock.
The steamer was all ready to receive
her cargo yesterday morning when the
stevedores' men appeared. BY O'Clock
last night she had completed her grain
cargo of 1877, lab bushels, and will in ad-
dition take 1900 bales of cotton. She
will be ready for sea by Wednesday
and will go to Amsterdam.

ST. BLASE DAY TODAY.
Was Celebrated by the Catholic
Churches by Big Mass

This is st. Blase day and was cele-
brated in the Catholic churches all over
the country. The services We're held in
the Topeka churches at $50 this morn
ing. Father Hayden blessed the threats
of the people of his congregatio ac-
cording to custom
St. Blase was bishop of Sebasta, in
Armenia, and was martyred in 316 by
order of Agricolaus governor of Cana
docia, in the lesser Armenia. His festi-
val is kept a holiday in the Greek
church on the 18th of February. In the
holy wars his relics were dispersed over
the west and his generation was pro
pagated by many miraculous cures, es-
pecially of sore threats. Even to the
present day all the faithful have their
threats blessed, by placing crossed can
dies, tied with a ribbon, on the throat
and then blessed according to the ri
tuaI.
