I ean count fourteen represen- tatives in their seats now, preparing tor their work, and about ten more have been met on the streets. Of cours, the senatorial fight is over, and itis probable that it will be little talked of during the rest of the session ; but that it has stirred up some bad blood is indisputable.

Reply of the General Land Commissioner to the Senate Resolution, ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY ASKED. An Incident at the Baltimore Charity Ball Annoys the President—Pen- sion Claim Agents After Retain- ers—~Capital New: Entitled to Additional Indemnity, WasmiNaroy, Jan. Special Telegram to thegBrk.] —1In response to a resolution of the 5th inst., the commigsioner of the general land office sent to the senate this afternoon a reply to the assertion that Nebraska is enti- tled to additional school lands by way of ine demnity for prior pre-emption claims, frac- tional townships and reservations, and that npwards ot 8,000 acres pf such school lands located north of Lodge I on the Platte river, in Clhieyenne county, were selected by proper and legally conglituted authorities of the state, and also the direction by the senate to the land commissioner to suspend entries on these lands, The land commissioner’s reply throws little light upon the subject, as itis not complete. He says the ords of his oftfice have not been kept so as to show ata glance the ageregate quantity which the state is entitled to as indemnity for losses and deficiencies in school see- tions numbered sixteen and thirty-six; that the grant is adjusted by townshivs from time to time, as claims for indemnity are presented and sueh adjustments are made of Tecord: that to make acomple mination ot such deficiencies in the entire state would involyve an immense amount of elerical labor, and t herefore, after careful examination, in- formation as to the grant ealled for is given approximately. e says further that his office has no conclusive evidence that the district land officers at North Platte are llowing entries for lands embraced in the school selection, or that the basis d ibed has used in the selection. He concluded by ing that the matter was undergoing coti- tion when th nate’s resolution was ved, and that he has coneluded to with- hold from patenting all entries in the town- ships mentioned, pending an investigation which will be made. THE PRESIDENT DISTURBED, President Cleveland was very much vexed at the Charity ball at Baltimore last night. Mrs. Cleveland was escorted on the floor by of Baltimore’s prominent citizens, but arrive at the ball for more than ) lour after the president and party rived and they were compelled to sit and wait in the dressing room, Although Mrs, Cleveland did not reach the white house till late this morning on her return from Balti- more, she was prompt at noon in the green parlor, looking very pretty in a combination zown of navy-blue toulard silk, with pan- clled front of linerustian lace. A garnet k band was vinned to the side by a ameo. Miss Sternberg, "of Y., a school friend of Mrs. eland, who only arrived an hour or so previous to the reception, assisted her in re- ceiving, She wore dark blue satin and vio- let. The parlor was unusually crowded, chiefly with strangers, among whom were several New Yorkers, who e especially we welcomed. Mrs. John Sherman, Commo- dore and Mrs, Harmony, Miss Janie Kigis, Adwmiral and Mrs. Wordern nd - Miss An- denry, who presented Mrs, Cleveland with a corsage bunch of hilies of the valley, Mrs, Orielly, Miss Tucker and Mrs. Mordhoff were among the callers, A pleasant incident of the afternoon was the presentation by a little toddler of a bunch of lilies of the valley to Mrs. Cleveland atter first presenting tiny card having her name. The little calle wore a corduroy valking suit made Grace Green, style and a larce Gainsborough hat. When she_presented the flowers Cleveland exclaimed, Oh, you little darlin, and stooped down and kissed her, while all about the green room echoed the' sentiment. CLAIM AGENTS AFTER RETAIN The Washington ~claims agents have already commenced _operations to collect re- tainers from the parents of ex-soldiers who may be affected by the proyisions of the per sion bill recently passed by the house. Th industrious persons are floodimz the mails with circulars inviting dependent parents to laims in their hands and soliciting an al fee. Should the bill pass the senate and reccive the approval ot the president regvlations will be established by the vension oflice which will enable those immediately concerned to tile their elaims and have theimn settled without the intcrvention of ¢l avents, Parties recciving circulars Washington claim agents should defe until the bill is passed and_ the pension office has had time to prepare the necessary regula- tlons for giving effect to the proposed law, “Che claim agents cannot assist them at this time, and claimants will save money and vexation by awaiting the action of the com- missioner of pensions, VAN WYCK'S CHIANCES, 1t is believed that Senator Van Wyek will be appointed on the inter-state commerce commission If it will be acceptable to him, Senator Van Wyek’s well known ability a: lawyer and arbitrator eminently qualifie: hiw for it.

TRENTON, Jan, s was reached in the senatorial situation this afternoon when the democratic ma‘arity of the assem- bly 1n pursuance of their caucus programme forced a ballot. A call of the house was made immediately upon reassembling at 8 o'clock and within a few minutes all the members were in their places except Throckmorton, democrat, His conferees were not satisied with the reason given for his absence. Still | the democrats had thirty members present to twenty-nine republicans and they resolved to proceed. The republicans failed to secure an adjournment. A motion to proceed to ballot for United States senator was objected to by the republican senators as being illegal, the requirement beingz that a vote should be taken on the second ‘Tuesday after the organization of the legislature and the senatorial half of it not organized.
