STEAMER RACES FOR SHORE
Reaches the Goal Just In Time to
Save the Lives of Those
on board.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.--The steamer Cones
toga Of the Anchor line sank at the mouth
OF the harbor early this morning, after a
race for life. The steamboat, bound into
Chicago from Buffalo, in the dense fog that
hung over Lake Michigan, ran into the half
way crib, a mile and half out from the
harbor entrance, and great hole was stove
in the bow.
The boat commenced to fill with water fast
and there was a disposition to rush for the
boats, but the captain gave orders to turn
on all steam and make quick run for the
harbor, and commanded the men to stand
at their posts.
The Conestoga was settling fast and its
speed was diminishing greatly before hall
the distance to the piers at the mouth OF
the harbor had been traversed.
AS the mouth OF the harbor was gained
floods Of water poured into the freehold
drove the stokers UP the ladders to the deck
and at last extinguished the fires In the
boilers.
The Conestoga came to stop as it's keel
rubbed hard in the mud at the bottom OF
the harbor entrance and 1t settled fast.
The water did not reach the upper deck
and the crew was safe.
The steamer was loaded at Buffalo and
carried freight from eastern points 1t is
thought that the loss on the cargo alone
will be In the neighborhood of 100000
The Conestoga lies easily in twentythree
feet of water and unless a severe storm
arises will probably be saved. The steamer
carried heavy deckload of freight and this
is practically undamaged. Divers were put
to work today repairing the big hole in its
bow caused by the collision.

FORAKER REs0L LUTION A CHECK
President VIII Make, No Recon-
mendation Touching Legislation
Granting Franchises In Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-After careful
consideration of the subject, the president
has decided to make no recommendations
to congress touching the repeal of the legis-
lation which had prevented the granting
of any franchises in Cuba The attempts
of the administration to forward the de-
velopment of the industries Of Cuba and ad-
vance the condition of the people have been
greatly hampered by the inhibition which
prevents the building of railroads or
wharves, the construction of bridges, Of
trolley roads, of water and sewer con-
veniences and of all class Of semi-public
works which give employment to many per-
sons, both in construction and operation,
The attitude of the administration officials
in refusing to approve the numerous ap-
plications for franchises which have been
made, exposed them to bitter criticisms,
based on the presumption that they were
clothed with discretionary powers in pass
ing upon them. This has been particularly
the case in regard to the Cuban cable and
telegraph system, a problem which con-
fronted Secretary Alger soon after the ad-
journment of the congress which passed
the Foraker resolution, prohibiting the
granting of franchises in Cuba. The sec
retary was fully disposed to allow COM
petition in that line, but his attention being
drawn to the expressed intent OF congress
the matter, after being discussed In the
cabinet. was referred to the attorney gen
eral for his opinion That official at once
decided that there was no possibility OF
doubling the intention of congress, and,
therefore, the president felt obliged to re-
fuse to allow any competition in telegraphs
and cables which involved the extension Of
granted right to the competing parties, and
directed Secretary Alger to abide by the
decision.
1t appears that these facts must be laid
before congress at the approaching session,
though 1t is certain that the president and
Secretary Root will not feel 1t incumbent
to do more than to let the facts speak FOR
themselves and will refrain from making
any recommendations on the subject.

BIG FIGURE IN THE DRAMA.
Cecil RhOles the Object of Intere!
i'm the TransyaaI War

Cecil Rhodes the Object of Interest
in the Transvaal War.
One consequence OF the war in the Trans
vaal, says Harper's Weekly, is the need OF
| exhaustive consideration of the character of
Mr. Cecil Rhodes. II the Beers get hold of
Mr.. Rhodes, we may be able to turn him
and his record over to the historians, and
await their verdict; but probably the Beers
won't get him, and indeed we should hope
they may not, for he has fair title to be
considered the most interesting man In the
world just now, and in the interest of public
entertainment, If nothing else, we must hope
he will be spared to act out his part.
Is he an imperialist or republican? Is
he dreamer or practical person? Is he
a Napoleon or a Washington? We read of
him as a man STEPPED in American ideas of
politics, whose dream was once of United
States of South Africa, which should have
home rule. That sounds like an ideal of
liberty and good government, and undoubt-
edly Mr. Rhodes is after good government
and for the essentials OF liberty for all per-
sons who, in his opinion, are fit to improve
them. AS for Beers and other native Afri-
cans whose ideas of liberty and government
don't coincide with his. II he finds 1t ex-
pedient and practicable to throw them down
and sit on their chests, the fact that he Is
opposed to taxation without representation
will not avail much to make his weight
less heavy.
Mr. Rhodes is a greedy man, but greedy in
a very large and unusual way Nothing
seems to satisfy him but the realization of
IDEAS He is enormously rich, but not
grain the less uneasy on that account. To
be master of the lamp seems OF small con-
sequence to him unless he can keep the
genii humping at the jobs he wants done.
To build the Cape to Cairo railroad and to
sweep out OF the way all obstacles to the
political and Industrial development Of South
Africa are the purposes that have resulted
from the fermentation in Mr.. Rhodes mind.
He is not the sort OF man who hesitates
to break the eggs that are essential to his
omelet, but there are eggs in Africa that
are uncommon hard to break, and the tough
est shell of all Is that of Dom Paul Kruger.

BRADLEY HAS THEM GUESSING
Part He Will Take in Event of COLI
lision Between GOebel and
Taylor is n Mystery.

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 16.-Governor
Bradley has the members of both parties
guessing what hand he will take in the
event of a collision between Goebel and
Taylor over the governorship. Bradley s
close friends say he will not recognize Goe-
bel as governor If the state board goes be-
hind the original returns in order to OBJ
tain for him certificate of election.
The governor himself will not talk, but
as he is in conference with Adjutant Gen.
eral Collier almost constantly, rumors of
this kind are worrying the democratic
leaders. No governor will be inaugurated
December 12, the date prescribed by law.
The law provides that the state election
commission must not meet later than De-
cember 4.

Deboe arrived here tonight and is looking

Taylor has been elected and he will be
seated. The people will stand no usurpa-
ton from the State Election board or any
body else. l don't think the board will
have the audacity to issue Goebel a certifi-
cate of election, hut if it does the people
will not submit to him and Taylor will be
seated. s,.a,r,..5 !...,.. 4 ~

Cattle Receipts Continue Heavy,

1t was generally supposed that the run
of western cattle is about over but owing
to the prevailing fine weather and the good
market here for range stuff, the receipts
at the yards continue to hold up. Out of a
total of 214 cars of cattle received day
or two ago, 124 cars were Westerns 1t Is
predicted that the run of western cattle
will continue until December 1, when the
cornfed stock will commence to come with
rush. Some cornfed cattle are being re-
ceived every day, but the heavy ship
ments will hardly commence for fifteen
days yet. Since January /, 750,369 head Of
cattle have been received at the yards here
as compared with 743,449 head during the
corresponding period of last year. This
is an increase of $500 head With continued
good receipts it is more than probable
that considerable increase in cattle will
be shown by the end of the year. For the
same period of time. 1,92O,3S2 hogs have
been received here This is an increase OF
197,414 hogs over the ten and one-haSf
months of last year. While 1,O21, ,467 sheep
have been marketed here so far this year.
a decrease of $500 head is shown when
comparison with last year Is made This
decrease is SO slight that it will undoubt-
edly be wiped out before the close of the
calendar year.

!. SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. /,

Local democrats are having merry time
OF II these days over the appointment OF
Charley Scarr as member of the Board OF
Education to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation OF w. b. Wyman. The deal
was worked through so quietly that very
few persons knew that Mr.. wyman intended
to resign. Those who did know OF 1t we're
urged to keep still so as to prevent pros
pective candidates for the vacancy from
pressing their claims. The friends OF Sam
Shrigley are especially sore and some even
go so far as to assert that Shrigley was
turned down after he had been requested
to accept the place. On Sunday last one
OF the prominent democratic members OF
the board called up Mr.. Shrigley and re-
quested permission to present his name
for the vacancy when Wyman's resignation
had been accepted. Shrigley told this mem
Der that he was not seeking the place, but
II the board saw At to select him he would
be pleased to serve. This member cautioned
Shrigley about mentioning the matter and
thus tied his hands. That some one
switched when 1t came to vote is evil
dent, for one member was heard to remark
that he had promised to vote for Scarr on
the first ballot, but would support Shrigley
on the second. To the surprise of those not
in the combination Scarr received FIVE
votes on the first ballot, while Shrigley
had only three. AS FIVE votes elect, there
was no second ballot. Shrlgleys friends
are declaring that some one turned traitor
The Shrigley followers assert that they will
have revenge at the next election. Mr.. Scarr
is expected to return from his hunting trip

from Detroit and Grand Rapids. including
Speaker Adams OF the last legislature, have
arrived to give evidence before the grand

the book concern was willing to pay 100000

Judge Person in his charge to the grand
jury quoted sections of the law relative to
bribery and charged the Jury to investigate
and see whether any of these provisions Of
the law have been violated and to act
justly and fearlessly.

lodges here will appear before the board and
present the petition asking for the use of
one or more rooms at the Brown Park school

parents are to be taught the language of

raised to the use of school rooms for this
purpose. but the lodges interested appear
willing to pay any expense for coal and jani-
tor service. so that there will be no cost to
the school district. These Bohemian lodges

Since the theatrical season opened early
In September there has been little else
offered in the way OF plays but farce com
edies and so tired OF this class of amuse-
ments have theater-goers become that
when this New York farcical success was
announced 1t did not create more than pass
ing interest. The audience which assembled
at Boyd's Thursday night to see the piece
was small-much too small-for THE Pur-
Pile Lady, is without doubt the best
comedy OF its kind that has been seen In
Omaha In several seasons and deserved
liberal patronage. 1t is announced as
German adaptation, but 1t is decidedly
Frenchy, with, however, the vulgarity al
most entirely eliminated. or course there
are some rather broad speeches here and
there throughout the three acts, but on
the whole the play is singularly free from
suggestiveness, particularly in view OF the
fact that there are so many opportunities
for viciousness in it. The theme Is not
a new one in that 1t deals with a case OF
mistaken identity, or rather several cases
and in this is not unlike my Friend from
India,' What Happened to Jones" and
others OF this kind. 1t is put together so
cleverly, however. and is so well interpreted
that the audience is kept laughing almost
continually. The even dozen people In the
company presenting the play have plenty
of talking to do, and they do it at light
ming speed through all the three acts; In
fact the piece goes with snap and dash
that are refreshing and the ridiculous COM
plications follow one another with sur
prising rapidity.
The play has to do with young artist,
who, while painting in Paris, has an affair
with a model, Peggy Proudfoot'' On the
eve of his wedding she desceuds upon him
and demands $4,000 before she will leave
the house. She is the purple lady-purple
because the artist made fame by painting
her with purple hair. When she bobs up
Unexpectedly, the victim introduces her
as the wife of prof. Gilworthy," staid old
pedagogue whom he thinks is not coming
to the wedding. "Gilworthy" turns UP aud
Peggy has all sorts OF fun with him.
Then "Mrs. Gilworthy" comes along un-
expectedly and of course there are more
complications. They get beautifully tangled
and the eminently respectable persons are
appropriately scandalized.
Teresa Maxwell as Peggy wears her
purple gowns and great mass of red
hair with spirit and is very fetching but
there is little in the part to call for act
ing. Frank b. Hatch as "Gilworthy' Is ex-
ceedingly droll and funny, indeed. He re-
minds one of Digby Bell in looks and man
ner of action. The others in the cast are
good, in fact, the entire company is quite
adequate. The costumes and scenery are
pretty and all that could be desired in the
way of a capable production. 1t is to be
regretted that the engagement was for one
night only.
