OMAHA, Neb., June 16.-Rain fell in tor

trees driven from their roofing by the
wind. None of the railroads entering the
city escaped and many trains are badly
delayed by washouts. In Omaha the rush
Of the waters filled the streets to the curb,
and the street-car service was badly dis

away. The water entered the basement of
the federal buIding where the large en-
gines are placed, doing considerable dam
age.
The storm ragged with increasing fierce
ness to the southwark and did heavy dam
age at Fort creek. The Burlington &
Missouri railroads suffered three wash

main line, eight miles out of Omaha. The
train service was blocked and cannot be

opened permanent headquarters here.
1t developed to-day that considerable
friction was displayed in yesterdays meet
ing of the subcommittee when the local
managers requested $500 admission tickets
for Kansas City. James X. Jones, chair
man of the national committee, said he did
not think Kansas City was entitled to any
tickets. The honor of securing the con-
vention, he thought, should be sufficient.
]. G. Johnson, national committeeman
from Kansas, took the same view of the
matter. This was a thunderbolt to the Kan
sas Cityans, who entered a vigorous pro-
test. They had, they declared, expended
about $4,000 directly in preparing for the
convention and the committee proposed to
violate all precedents by cutting the con-
cention city off entirely. Finally, as a COM
promise the subcommittee offered the Kan
sas City committee 500 tickets. This was
Immediately declined. 1t is stated to-day
that the local committee will insist on hay-
ing at least 5000 admission tickets.

MYSTERY OF CONTEMPLATING.
Great Danger and Little Chance of
Gain for One Engaged in Ii.

New Orleans lmeS-DemOcidl
Nobody has ever been able TO explain the
mysterious fascination of counterfeiting,
said an old federal official at the custom
house There is without doubt some
thing about the work, aside from its posi-
BILE profits, that draws men into IL and
keeps them there at the sacrifice of almost
everything that would appear 10 make life
worth living. Once counterfeiter, always
a counterfeiter,' is an axiom in the secret
service, and IL is borne out by Facts. Yet
counterfeiting would seem on the surface
to be one of the least attractive branches
of crime. 1t involves an immense amount
of hard work, accompanied, as rule, by
exposure and privation, and there Is not
one single case on record in which a maker
or shower of the queer retired in peace
with anything like competence. Indeed,
there are very few known instances In
which a ccunterfeiter ever made as much
as 5000 out Of the operation. They are
almost invariably caught or driven 10 cover

The chances are about two to one that the

But in spite of all this" continued the

and heads one of the factions, while Mr.
Bingham, collector of customs, leads the
other. Both claim TO be delegates from
the State at large.
SERVED ITS PURPOSE.
The matter of contests being disposed of,
a resolution introduced on Wednesday last
by Committeeman Payne was taken up,
briefly debated and referred to Senator
Hanna, chairman of the national commit
tee. This resolution requested the Pres
ident Of the United States to institute an
inquiry into the participation by federal
oficeholders in Alabama. in the selection of
delegates to the convention.
Mr. Payne himself did not press a vote
on it, but recommended it's reference to the
chairman of the national committee, saying
that he felt that it had already served a
good purpose in it's influence upon the diff
ferent delegations, and he did not care to
ask any further expression upon 1t The
general opinion of the committeeman
seemed to be that the President should not
be brought into the matter at this time.
The following resolution was then intro
duced by Mr. Henry Z. Tiepke. Of Rhode
Island:
whereas. the representation in Con-
gress now accorded to the several States
of the Union on the basis of Article XIV,
Section 2, of the Constitution, ought to
DE modified so that In every State wherein
the right TO vote is denied to any of the
male inhabitants thereof, being twenty
one years old and citizens of the United
States. or wherein said right is In any way
abridged, except for participation in re-
bellion or other crime, representation In
Congress-, and in the Electoral College,
should be reduced In the proportion which
the number of male citizens so deprived of
the right of suffrage shall bear to the
whole number of male citizens twenty-one
years of age in said State; therefore,
Resolved, That the Republican nation
al committee recommend that II the Re-
publican party is continued in control of
Congress il invoke and exercise the power
of Congress granted by Article XIV, Section
g. to enforce by appropriate legislation the
objects of this resolution"
This resolution called forth some debate,
which was participated in by Senators
Hanna, Scott and others Both Senators
Hanna and Scott expressed sympathy with
the purpose of the resolution, but said they
were of opinion that the question was one
for the committee. The resolution was laid
upon the table by a vote of "a to 10.
Another resolution, practically in the
language Of the Payne resolution of some
years ago, concerning the representation
in the national convention was presented
by Mr.. Cummings. of Iowa The resolution
provided for representation on the basis OF
Republican votes cast. The resolution was
sharply attacked because of its effect on
the Southern States, where the representa-
tive vote is comparatively small, and after
short discussion was withdrawn by its
author.
The committee then. at $40 D. m, ad-
.ourned until 10 o'clock next Monday. 1t is
understood that the Alabama agreement
will then be ratified.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June 16.-In a let
ter to G. F. Milton, editor OF the Sentinel
and delegate to the Kansas City conven-
ton, Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama,
thus expresses his views concerning the
platform to be adopted at Kansas City:
1.-The horses are named and entered for the
race, and the riders weighed and in the
saddle. so both parties are trying to find
the smoothest ground to run over, and
neither can do anything else. Our smooth
est path is that which we have beaten out
with the tramp Of Democracy since Jeffer-
sou blazed the way and Jackson opened it,
The Chicago platform is a true exposition
of the creed, though IL has few marginal
notes that are rather too socialistic; Bryan
has some that we can afford TO gnore
others will be attempted in the Populistic
direction; New York will attempt to re-
write 1t and put Bryan's picture over il as
an index to it's meaning. The safe course
is TO stand by it. The people will under
stand us il we do that a new alignment
will lose us more than We gain"
