One of the Oldest stock
Dealers at south Omaha-Cor-
oner Empanels Jury and
VIII Hold Inquest.

Andrew Haas, one Of the well-known live
stock dealers at the South Omaha yards,
was struck by a train at $3.50 yesterday
morning and instantly killed. Mr.. Haas had
just returned from Lincoln and was walk
ing along the main line OF the Union Pa
ctic toward the yards when he was struck
by Rock Island freight train No. 80. As a
number of trains were being switched in
the yards at the time 1t is thought that Mr..
Haas became confused and did not hear the
Rock Island freight coming. The accident
occurred almost in front of the Union Pa
ciic depot, but the maugled remains we're
found fully 100 feet north of the station.
The deceased lived at 1884 South Thirtieth
avenue, Omaha, and leaves a wife and four
children. A sister, Mrs. Louis Rothchilds,
resides at 240S st. Mary's avenue.
Mr.. Haas was one OF the oldest live stock
dealers at the yards, having started in busi-
ness there along in 1888. OF late he has
devoted his time to specializing in live
stock,

THE ISTHMIAN CANAL.
Conference In SesaiOn-Be1ief that
Legislation Will he Had BE-
fore Adjourn ment.

Washington, June 24.-The opening
conference on the isthmian canal bill
at two O'Clock Monday led 10 active
comment on the outcome OF this IN
portant measure. Representative
Hepburn. the ranking house confcrec.
notified his associates TO be ready for
the meeting, but no exact plans were
discussed. There is 40 doubt that
the house conferees will, at the out
set, make strong insistence on the
Nicaragua route as provided by the
house bill. Messrs. Hepburn and
Davcy are earnestly in favor OF the
Nicaragua route, and they undoubted-
ly will stand by the house bill as long
as there is any possibility OF It's Sc
lection. On the other hand. Mr.
Fletcher. OF Minnesota. considers The
Panama route better than the Mica
ragua. although he thinks fuller in
vestigation might have shown the
Darien route better than either OF
the others. However. as the present
Legislative issue appears to he con-
| fined to q choice between Nicaragua
and Panama, Mr.. Fletcher probably
will cast his influence for the latter.
The length Of the contest VIII ue-
pend, therefore, on the duration oi
the insistence Of Messrs. Hepburn
and Da.ey for the Nicaragua route
and the attitude Of the house in sup
porting such an insistence. There =
little indication as to how long TINS
insistence will last, but statements
made by the house conferees lead 10
the belief that the insistence will not
be carried 10 the point OF pcrma-
nent dea dlock. defeating all canal leg
