Council Chamber BY

WHILE ORDINANCE is PASSED
Entering Into Contract With Omaha

Makes inflammatory Speech and
Vile Epithets Are Freely Used.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. a. The most
extraordinary scene ever witnessed in
th5 Omaha council chamber occurred
yesterday when Mayor Moores sta

Gas company for furnishing illumin-
ating gas to the city.
The council met in adjourned SEES
sion, a quorum not being present at
Tuesday nights regular meeting.
After Il roll call of the council was
called President Iimman and Coun-
cilmen Nicholson and O'Brien start
ed to leave, thus breaking the Quor-
UNI. They found every door blocked
by stalwart policemen and were fore
ell to remain in the council room. A
member of the majority made mo.
ton placing the ordinance on its
passage, but President Zimman re-
fused to put the question Council
man Huntington, n member Of the
majority, put the question, Ave men,
bers voting for It. The minority
members declined to vote.
Mayor Moores was present and i'm.
mediately returned the contract with
the bond approved. The mayor made
an inflammatory speech, and several
vile epithets were passed between
the executive and minority members
of the council.
During the parley between Mayor
Moores and Councilman O'Brlen
there occurred one of the most SEN
sational scenes ever enacted In leg
islative body in Nebraska. Threats
of physical violence were made and
a clash OF fisticuffs between the may.
or and O'Brien was on the point OF
being consummated when Council
man Nicholson, another minority
member, interfered. Twice O'Brien
attempted to leave the council cham
Der and was forcibly pushed back by
policeman. President Zimman also
was forcibly required to remain.
City Attorney Herdman declares 1t

enting the gas company says the con-
tract as approved Is satisfactory.
The ordinance provides for ten
year contract with the gas company
for furnishing street lamps as $500
each per pear. 1t Is alleged by the
minority that cheaper lights may be
secured.

RUN ON BANK AT NEW ORLEANS
Newspaper Story Causes Small De-
positors to Withdraw Money.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 16.-Owing
probably to the publication of a story
in a newspaper here run began Fri
day Afternoon on the Germania Savings
bank and many small depositors gath
cred at the institution and withdrew
their deposits. A force of policemen
kept the crowd in order and each de-
positor was promptly paid as he pre-
sented his book, the officers of the
bank having made provisions against
the run. Few of the depositors knew
the reason for the run. The officers
of the bank said the concern was in
an impre enable condition and that all
who desired would be promptly paid,
business men generally having shown
their confidence by offering large sums
of money to the institution. The story
printed was to the effect that the bank
held $4,000 Of the mortgage bonds of
the Rushmere Planting company, in
which Vice President Blaffer of the
bank is interested, and that the com.
pany had defaulted. Mr.. Blaffer said
that he and his associates had taken
the bonds off the hands of the bank
and shouldered the loss themselves.

London, Oct. 1.-THE English

several favorite roles. Thursday he

and "The Bells" and seemed to be
in excellent health, taking the ex-
hausting part Of Mattheas in the lat
ter play with all the vigor of youth.
Last night before an enthusiastic aud
fence he protrayed one of his most
Enthusiastically intellectual parts,
in the title role in his own stage adap-
tation of Lord Tennyson's Beckett"
with marked success.
After the performance Sir Henry
returned to his hotel, reaching his
rooms at 1870 o'clock, when it was
observed that he was in great pain.
Physicians were Immediately sum-
moned, but before they could arrive
Sir Henry was seized with an attack
of syncope and expired within a few
minutes without having uttered a
word, in the presence of Bran Stoller,
who had been his immediate manager
for many years, and a few other in
innate friends. The event caused
the greatest pain and CONSERVATION
among the members of the company.

first time since the advent of NJ. Ire

with no grave consequences. The
most serious injuries reported are
those sustained by two men who were
slashed with sabres.
Firearms were not employed by the
gendarmes or military. and though
the first collision was provoked by a
shot from the crowd and few cases
of stoning occurred, the crowds man
ifested no inclination to resist police
and troops.

FRANCE READY
FOR BLOCKADE
Ports of Venezuela May Be
Closed to Commerce by
Warships.
ULTIMATUM BEING HELD BACK
Caracas Government Must Restore
Property Seized From French Sub.

Show of Force.

washington, Oct. 16.-American
grievances against Venezuela may be
settled by diplomacy, while France. In
the absence of any diplomatic rela-
tions at Caracas, may yet be com.
PEELED to resort to show of force. De-
spite the assurances of foreign office
officials at Paris, it is stated here that
the French ultimatum has been practi-
cally ready to dispatch for week or
more, and that France has the full as
sent of the Washington government to
adopt an effective course of action
against Venezuela to obtain the renew
al of diplomatic relations and the res.
toration of French property seized by
the Caracas government.
May Have Peaceful Blockade.
This, briefly, is the situation: The
French ultimatum will be held up I'M
til further conferences have occurred
between the French embassy here and
the State Department So far as the
report of Judge Calhoun, the American
special commissioner, which was dis.
cussed at the Cabinet meeting, states,
there is nothing in the situation at
Caracas that cannot be settled by pa
tient and firm diplomacy. A thorough
understanding exists between Paris
and Washington on this subject, and
even if France shall find it necessary
to establish a pacific blockade against
Venezuela, the Washington govern.
ment will offer no objection.
In diplomatic circles the opinion is
expressed that the Venezuelan presi.
dent would yield before pacific block.
ade is established. The aversion on
to- part of France and the United
States to the use of warships in this
case arises from the fact that the
blockading of enezuelan ports at this
time will affect the creditor powers,
to whom portion of the customs re.
ceipts has been awarded by The
Hague tribunal until their claims shall
have been paid in full.
Campaign Contributions.
At Fridays cabinet meeting the sub
ject Of campaign contributions and the
participation of federal judges in polit-
ical campaigns, with particular ref
erence to the case of Justice Baker of
Indiana, was discussed, in addition to
several other matters of importance.
1t is also reported here that Luke
f. Wright, governor of the Philippines,
has not yet resigned, but Is expected
to do so soon after he returns to the
islands after his visit to Washington.

EYELIDS GRATED

Columbus, o., Oct. ia most re-
markable surgical operation has been
performed at Mount Carmel hospital
in which a man has been given new
set of eyelids, and an examination
made yesterday for the first time
since the work was done promises
that it will be entirely successful.

natural gas explosion in which he was
badly burned about the face and his

ressful. Last Saturday another trial
was made; the new lids were formed
by grating skin from Kerr's arm.

aged. When the bandages were re-
moved it was found possible to re-
move the stitches from one eye and
hose from the other eye were re-
moved yesterday. Mr. Kerr's eyes
