Nance Secretly Vov- ing on Paddock’s Braves. Promise of Power and Consider- able Plunder Lavishly Distributed. Rural Representatives Close- ly Guarded Against the Contagion. Swinging Around the Circle. Corresondence ol T Bux. CextrAL Crry, Dec. 16.—I could not resist the temptation to slip into Senator Evans’ office at Dawii City and talk a few minutes with him over matters and things. There were sev— eral present, and there was no such thing as getting a confidential chat with bim, and I soon observed this, so I had to content myself with “straws.” It took no eagle eye 1o dis- cover that Evans is inclined to give taddock and Nance the ygo-by and ship ou the arti-monopoly ship. The facts are that Evans is sorely pressed by the farmers of Butler coun- ty with threats and arguments that he wo ld not represent his constitu- ents by embarking on the Paddock- Nance railroad barque; that legisla- tion for the good of the farmer is demanded and that something mwust be done. Then, too, Evans was not the Nance-Paddock candidate, Col. Roberts, who represented Burler county in the legislature about 1871, was their fellow and was also strongly pushed by Carns,which fact, no dount, was what killed him, and Evans “walked hig log,” so as to speak. After the conveution Nance sent his private secretary to conciliate the victorious Evans, and subsequently at the election, aided by Carns, et al., flooded the distiict (Po k and Butler counties,) with republican tickets bearing the name of Roberte inste«d of Evans for state seuator, a botl, you see, which might have ended di- sastrously to Evans but for the fact that it was discovered before the polls opened. This is still rankling tn the bosom of Evans, and everybody hopes it will coniinue to rankle. D.C Harrison, one of Butler county’s ped- agogues, and a very energetic talker, is canv.ssing Batler county, rousing up the farwers »gainst the present ex orbitant rates oc transportation. Pe- titions will be circulated for signatures and then forwarded to the Butler county members of the-legislatura, and woe be tohimfwho votes for R. R. tools for senator or who dares to vote against a bill to regulate freight tar ffs. At Osceola I only halred a few hours, but learned that Kimmel, or whatever his name is, who was sep- ator last year and a willing tool of the raiiroad companies, is on the track for sergeant-at-arms of the senate, do r- kaeper of the house, er sowe «th r vlace where he could throw biicks tor Albinus—any position that would pay board and lodging, you know. Central City, or Morrick county rather, has one senatcr (with H.ll), Morse, and one member of the lower house, Hostetter, of her own. The first is said to be for Paddock, and is being daily coached by Hoxie, of the Grand Island land office, and by Will- iams, cf the Grand Island postoffice, snd by the U. P. railroad sharks gen- erally, but he may be reclaimed yst by a vigorous application of granger oil, for the Merrick county farmers are opening up on the railroad trana« portation question also, As for Hos- tetter, he 18 to sensible to do any- thing so suicidal, and your corres- pondent is much mistaken if he does not turn out to be one of the best memoers in the house. He is a small man and very youthful, but keep your eye on him—he is a good one. My David City letrer about the surveying contract given to Richa son to catch Charlie White was fally talked over by two gentlemen on the ‘rain to-day, who both avreed that I had it ‘‘down fine,” although they did not know that I was within a thou- rand miles of them. One said that a U. S. surveyor down in Richardson county was to have had that $5,000 ag well as considerable more, and he was somewhat wrothy when the slice was cut off, and did noc understand why it could Ye that he should not vet the whole of it. I ran across the track of M4j. Pearman, of Nebraska City, here. He was no doubt up here looking up customers for his nur- sery stock, and had politics or Van Wy Heis a shick ove day at Colnmbus, ing on thereabour time I shall atep Hon, M. K. Tarners’ office apprise him of the dimensions of ain petition that will sirike the second week of his | careerinviting him to sail 1 onopoly harbor and to ve “Paddock first and Nance second” and take a reef in his coat-tail so as to take it out of the reach of Dave Love- land and go in for home rule”’—that is for bis constitaents first and the D York and Boston capitalists wards. Iam on track of a chap who has said when in a dranken stupor that | Nance had promisad him that as soon as the chsp aforesaid should register his vote in a satisfactory manner on the senatorial question the deputy wardenship of the penitentiary would bs at the command of the aforesaid chap, who is elected to rep- resent a certain county in the central | { Bishop Ireland. part of the state. As the position of deputy warden NO. 156 has never been filled, there mav be, and no doubt is, good grounds for the opinion that such a trade would be made. If the superintendent of the insane hospital and the superin- rendency of all the state institutions can be made to bring in a vote for Nance they will ali go—aud don't you for get it. FREQUENTLY. WASHINGTON. John A. Kasson Takss the Lead in the Race for the Speakership. The Honse Passes the Mil- itary Academy Ap- propriation Bill. HOUSE. Special Dispatches to The Bee. WasSHINGTON, December 18. —When the house met this morning a number of gentlemen addressed the speaker with a view of offering bills or other muscellaneous business, but the rega- lar order of rhe day was promptly de- manded, with a view of disposing of the pending appropriation bills. The house went into committee of the whole on the military appropriation bill, with Mr. Reagan in the chair. Mr. Forney, of Alabama, who had charge of the bill, explained brifly tha* it made a total appropriation of $322,000 against $116,000 for the cur- rent fiscal year. The increase this year was owing to the increase of the salarios of professors at the military academy. After this brief explanation the bill was; read by paragraphs for amend- ment. When the clause relative to the de- partment of law was reached, Mr. Conger moved to strike ont the pro- vision allowing the secretary of war to asgign any army officer as protessor of law at the academy- The committee rose and reported the bill, which passed as it came from Conger. The house then went into committee of the whole ou the corsular bill, which appropriates §1,198,000, an in- crease of §10,000 over last year. Tois led to a long and spirited de- bate, after which the bill was read for amendment, but none being offered the committee rose and reporied the bill to the house. The vote was: Yeas 140, nays 2—MecMillan and O. Turner. No quoraca, Adjourned until Monday. THE OKLAHOMA AMEASSADOR, Special Dispatch to The Bee. WasHINGTON, December 20,1 a. m.— Dr. Rovert M.

His cos- tume consists of a blue flannel shirt, in the bosom of which are diamonds as large as peas, a white felt hat,high top boots and buckskin pants. He wears netther collar nor cuffs, and gives evi- £ hard work and exposure. he had come here to represent the trus condition of the settlers, and present the facts to the prasiaent. THE RACE FOR THE GAVEL. Bpecial dispateh to Tir Bas. Wais 186TON, December 20—1 a. m. —Siuce this session of congress be- gan, thers has been a great deal of ciucussing among republican repre- aentaiives over the subject of the next speakership. There are three promt- nent cavdidates in the field—DMussrs, Kasson, Frye, and Conger. There are several other represenratives not without hope that the choice may fall upon their heads. In this list are Kelly, Keifer, Hiscock, Boyle, Bur- rows, Hubbell and McKinley. Mr Robeson would probably be a caudi- date for the speakership if he was not quite confident of being elected to the seuate from New Jersey to succeed Mr. Randolph. For some reason the impression has gained ground that Mr. Kasson has the inside track in the race. Mr, Kasson’s strength consists in his past prestige as a party lcader, and his familiarity with pirliamentary rules and practices. It is only within a few days that Mr. Frye has decided t) make a fight for the speakership. He was of the opinion that the place would naturally go to a western man and, moreover, enter- tained strong hopes of being elected to the senate to succeed Senator Ham- lin. Now affairs are completely changed, and it is bel'eved that Mr. Hamiin wiil be re-elected to the sen- ate by the Maine legislature, as he al- ready has a lead of ten or fifteen bal- lots over Mr. Frye. ——— The Suffering Colonists. Special Dispatch to The Bee Curcaco, Decembsr 20—1 a. m.— A vewspaper correspondent who has visited the Connemara colony, con- firms the reports of suffering and want previously sent by Mr. Hutch ins, the referee sent to the colony by The correspondent, after relatiog cares of suffering from sickuess, lack of medicine, food, clzthing, bedding, etc., says the actnal condition of these unfortunate and wronged people has never been fally described in 1ts gaant and cruel aw- fuluess, to say nothing of being ex- aggerated. These peopleare in need of immediate assistance. Nothing but corn meal and frozen potatoes has been furnished them by the priest The outfit of clothing from Morris was liberal, and the first they had re- ceived since they Ieft Ireland, and will last for some time. Fuel and food are needed,the former especially. A special dispatch from Bishop Ire- land, at St. Paal, expresses disbe- lief in these reports. He says his referee, Mr. Hodges, fell into the bands of the people of Morris, ard his report was influenced accordingly. He asks suspension of judgment vatil his representative, Dillon O’'Brien, makes bis report, which will be in a few days. FOREIGN EVENTS. Russia Ruse for Opening a Path to British India. Nih listic Disturbances Create Alarm Among the Devotees of the Czar. Parnell Has Decided Not to Attend the Opening of Parliament, Anarchy and Sedition Reigns Throughout tha Realm of the Sultan. NIHILISTIC STUDENTS.. 8pecial Dispatch to Tux_Bex. Loxpoy, December 19—10 p. m.— A Moscow dispatch gives a brief ac- count of another of the disturbances between the students of the universi- ty and the suthorities, which period- ically takes place there. It seemed that the existence of au organization within the iustitution, supposed to be nihilistic in its tendencies, was re- cently discovered, in which a large body of the students and many of the professors and teachers were con- cerned. An explanation of its char- acter was demandad by the govern ment, and refused by the rectory, wherenpon a large force of police aud soldiers surrounded the university buildings and demanded admissiou. The students, apparently encouraged by the rector, forcibly resisted, lock- ing the gates and doors. The police then assumed the offensive, and a riot ensued, resulting in the arrest and imprisonment of four huudred of the students. The Moscow uuiversi- ty is a state stitution, under the authority of the minister of public in siruction and has usualiy about fi teen hnndred students and one hua dred professors and teachers. PASSIVE PARNELL. An Irish nationalist member of par liament says that as mattera concern-_ ing thestate trials arenow arranged by the land league, Mr. Parnell will not insist upon attending the opening of parliament, on January 6th, as he did intend doing, even at the risk of personal collision with the govern- ment authorities. His reasons for making the changeis, that he hopes, by succumbing to ths government :u- torities, they wmay be induced to post- pone the trial and so enable him avd the other indicted leaguers to reach parliament to time for the opening. SPANISH GREED, Paris, December 19, 10 p. m.—A Madrid correspondent telegraphs as fullows: Captains of Amercan ves sels have had to complain of heavy tines inflicted for the slightest irregu larity in manifests and ship paper. In therecent case of an American vessel that entered a Spanish port in distress, with a cargo not destined for a per- ninsular or colonixl port of Spain, ad- vantage was taken of her position and a most exh- rbitant fine exacted by the Spanish custom house officers. Some time ago Ergland obtained, by a per emptory demand, a repeal of this law as related to English shipping, and a like move will have to be made by the American government if it wishes to give protection to its commerce in this part of the globe. ACTIVE NTHILISTS. LoxpoN, December 20, 1 a, m.—A St. Petersburg correspondent says: ““The mportant arrests recently made in Khairdoff have had a very disquiet- ing effoct on the authorities, already sufficiently unessy at the commence- ment of the winter suason, which, for many reasons, the nibilists prefer for their more active operations. The number of false pasaports, proclama- tions and pamphlets, seized together with revolvers and other arms, give s strong proof of the determination of the remnants of the party to continue their desperate strugele.” THE CRUMBLING EMPIRE. A Coustantinople correspondent says: “From Macedonia the most heartrending accounts of the condition of the people continue to be received; and the Turks there are carrying ona system of extermination, different only iv degree from the havoc they wrought in Batuk four years age. Iu Armenia things have not improved, | but on the contrary they seen every day tc be growing | worse and worse. r ernment here is perfectly paralyzed, aud does nothing. Anarchy reign comple every where, and the poor peo ple are ground down by exorbitant demands for money. Where this will end no one can foretell, but assur-d/y it cannot continue for a very long time. The end of it must come some day, but if Europe does not interfere promptly to improve things, it is tvo dreadful to think what the consequen ces must be. T.e Turkish govecnment has never been free from corruprion, but now it pervades all classsa of offi cials from the highest to the lowest. Tks city is infested day aud night by thieves and robbers, and the police are united with them in plundering thepeople. There is perfect stagna- tionin business, and the courts are lirtle better than dens of thieves and extortionists. It has always been sap- posed that the question will never be settled by the European pwers, but that the solution will have to be found by tke nationalists who inhabit this The central gov |« empire. If war breaks out in the spriog, some terrible convulsions will be witnessed in the Bilkan peninsula, which will arouse Europe from its in- difference, and force the powers to take action of some kind."” RUSSIA’S PATH To THE ORIENT.

LoxpoN, December 19—10 p. m— A St. Petersburg dispatch states that Ruesia has ordered four regiments of cavalry and five battalions of infantry to proceed to the assistance of the Persians against the Kurds Thkis action settles all doubt us to Russia’s purpose to make an ally of P.raia in the matter of the roue to Iady Considerable feelivg over it is mani- fesied in political and government circles here.
