S— EIGHTEENTH YEAR. 'OMAHA, MONDAY A LESSON IN POLITENESS. Commissioner Stockslager Instructs His Subordinates in Decorum. OPPOSED TO AN ADJOURNMENT. Members of Both Houses Want to Pro- long the Session in the Interest of Tariff Legislation—Wash- ington Gossip. Courtesy Enjoined. WASHINGTC Lite Osats Bre, 3 FOURTERNTI STRRET, Wasmisarons, D. C., pt. 16. BCGeneral Land Commissioner Stocksla circular letter to the registers and receivers of local land offices, requesting them to ex ercise uniform courtesy to all who call at their places of business, and reminding them that the most lowly citizen has a right to de. mand courteous treatment at the hands of all public officials, has been the subjectof much comment to-day amoug men in congress, It is stated that the circular was provoked by the receipt of a large number of complaints from districts where there are new officers ‘who have been proceeding on the presump tion that private citizens have no rights which o federal ofticial is bound to respect. In some sections of the west it is almost im. possible for a private citizen to learn any- thing concerning the business being trans- acted in the land offices, and Commissioner Stockslager says he proposes to have the books opened for the inspection of aill who have business before the land o , and to compel the ofMcers to be courteous, The com- missioner in his circular says the instruc- tions he issues are not to be thrown into a pigeon hole, as most circulars from the d partment are, but that they must be under- stood and obeyed. This is the tirst instance on record wh t has become necessary for a department to force its officers to be polite. DETERMINED THEY WILL NOT ADIOUKN. Democratic members of the house commit- tee on ways and means and republican mem bers of the senate committee on finance say congress will not adjourn before the Novem- ber elections, and that they will fillibuster to defeat it. The republican ¢ ors say they intend to report a tariff bill before congress adjourns, and that they not propose to be cut out it, There is no doubt that the demo. cratic members of the ways and means com- mittee can defeat the adoption of an adjourn. ment resolution, and of course the repub- lican membe of the senate com mittee on finunce can defeat a similar movement in the upper branch of congress. There is barcly a quorum present in the senate, and probably not a quorum of the house n the Inasmuch as @ quorum will be demanded for the adop tion of an adjournment resolution, it secms just now that the prospects for terminating congress within four or five wecks are quite slim. DEMOCRATS DOING THEIR DEST. Speaker and Mrs. Carlisle left in a speci; car to-night for their home in Covington. The speaker will attend the democratic state convention of Kentucky on Tuesday and will deiiver several specches before his return here. Chairman Mills has left the city for his home in Texas to be absent about a month., Mr. Scott, and in fact nearly all of the leading democrats of the house, as well as those of the senate, have gone into their states to work for o their own or their party’s success, Senator Voorhees is on the stump in Indiana and says he cannot give any more attention Lo congress this session. Alto- gether there appears to be a good deal of ayitation among the democrats just now, in- dicating that they do not believein the walk- over thoy profess to have, » AL TO THE PRESIDE The president has been steadily at his desk Quring the past week, and has attended to a multitude of matters.” The papers of all the army officers who are applicants for = staff appointments in the army have been sont to him, and as there are several hundred of them, he has a big job on his hands. But in the end he will simply pick out the best men who have served a long time and send their names to the senate. The publication ot his letter of acceptance on Monday Slast was a relief to him, as it wus the most scrious mat- ter on hand at tho white house until it was published. It will not be surprising if he manages to take a little vacation soon, and Mrs. Cleveland will doubtless go with him. SENATOI CHANDLER'S SUCCESSOR. It is believed here that Represent Gallinger will succeed William E. Chandler In the senate. Gallinger has been elected chaivman of the republican state central com- mittee of New Hampshire, and is said to have the lead for the senute. He attracted a great deal of attention here by conducting the investigation into the management of the government printing oftice during the ¥\|al spring and summer, and by his work or the nomination of General Harrison at Chicago, Senator Chandler remains at his J0st hore while Lis rival is whooping it up at ome. OLD T Bl NOT AFRAID OF DEATH, General Sherman does unot seem to be appalled at the thought of dying. At any rate he speaks of it sometimes in an off- hand sort of & way that is almost amusing. Not long after Sheridun's funeral, in speak- ingof the deceuse of many proniiient offi- cers of the late war, the general remarked in bis rapid wanner: 1 shall have to hurry up and die pretty soon or there will be nothing but militia left to bury me.” T am giad to say that the general appears to be good for at least ten moro years of life, and perhaps to survive after every oth tinguished personage of the w have passed awa, A POLITICAL ADVANTAGE, A rather amusing story connected with the campaign comes from Buffalo. In one of the biggest wards of that city an enthusiastio democratic salconkeeper caused to be erected m front of his groggery a tall, straight, smoothly polished hickor To} the top of this pole were attac w0 Cleveland and Thurman streamers. There was a good deal of jollification as the carth was packed in solidly around the base of the hickory stick, and the boys celebrated the uffair by relieving the cellar of the enthusiast of a great deal of its liquid treasure. That same night a platoon of Harrison “hustlers” visited the locality after the sa- loon was closed, and oune of them, who had been a sailor on the lakes, shinned up the l:)lc and to the top of it nailed u long, thin, ugh spar, on the extreme end of which was attached o Harrison Morton streamer as long as the three Cleveland fags put to- gcl er. Then he started to descend, and as @ did so he carefully greased the hickory from the contents of ‘u can of pure lard which he had strapped around his shoulder. All attempts to climb that pole since that time have proved useless, and the propri of the saloon, who is roaring mad, is s have offered free whisky during the rest of the campaign to the man who will remove the Harrison streamer from above the Cleve- land emblems. THE PRESIDENT'S LACK OF CONFIDENCE. President Cleveland is rapidly losing finth in the assertions of his subordinates. The latest one to convince the president that his ofticials are not absolutely reliuble when they make political promises is that tried, trusted and true patriot, Morton, commissioner of navigavion. Morton, it will be remembered, waus the leader of the dirty-work brigade in Maine in the campaign of 1884, As a reward for his services ho was selocted &s postuas- ter for Augusta, but tho senate couvinced the president that it would be useless to try to foroe such an appointment on the people and Mr. Morton's name was put down for the important post of commissioner of navi- tion. - Sir Joseph Portor in Gilbort & Sullivan’s comic opers “Pinafore” gives as advice for ohtaining the hishest «10 s #” Nritieh ive ar period shall those lines every music lover knows so k fast to your desks and never goto sea, And you will be rulere of the queen’s navee," Morton did not know a marlin-s pike from a hawser, and this was probably why he was sclected as chief of the burean of navigation, At least this was one of the reasons, An- other one was his supposed pull among the poiiticians of Maine. Mr. Morton promised all sorts of things this vear, among others the defeat of Tom Reed and the reduction of the republican majority of 1554 by at least 50 per cent. In some of his most cnthusiastic moments it is understood that he even 80 far as to predict the election of Putn: that great dinlomat to whose mammoth br was due in part at least the conception of the fisheries treaty, to the governorship of the state. Morton tried to fulfill his promise. He worked far re faithfully in the interest of the democracy in Maine than he did in the mterest of the people at Jarge who have business with his bureau. Mr. Morton left no stone unturned to gain republican vote and within threc days of the election is r ported to have informed the president th the prospects were exceedingly bright: that Recd would certainly be defeated, and that there was not the faintest probability that the republican majority would exceed 5,000, president has learned that it is unsafe ut your faith in commissioners, and that are some things in Maine politics vhich even Morton does not Know. MISCELLANEOUS, of the interior has rendered claim of Thomas B. Evans, Lincoln, Neb.,, amounting to $1,000 for' prope ken or destroyed by the Sioux Indians in 1863, The property lost was owned jointly by Evans and F'r chmidt, and consisted of seven oxen of th alue of £134, and fifteen oxen of the value of 3 but the claim was not presented within the period ixed by law.

Watkin on duty at St. Louis to make an inspection tour of the signal stations in Nebrasika, lowa, Tlinois and contiguous states, Perky S, Hearn, e An Interesting Church Question, Des Moies, In, Sept. 16.—[Special to Tui BEE. ] —An interesting e has been occupying the attention of the Presbytery of the United Presbyterian church here during the past week. Last winter a differcuce arose in the church council asto whether the pews of the local church should be free or be sold, and it was determined that they should be sold. About fifty of the members protested against this plan, and showed their disapproval by remaining away from church, Among the protesters were tw) elders who took a prominent stand in denouncing th action of the majorit und they were pelled. An appeal was takon to the Prosby 1it has spent several days upon the Che question of the moral right to sell church pews was discussed with great vigor and eloquence, the argument reaching the intensity that has heretofore been dis. played in settling the question of whether it anorgan in church, Finally, ring ull the evidence, the Presby- ded in favor of the expelled elders, and ordered that they be reinstated. The case will be appealed to the state synod. which meets in a short time at Lenox, and it may in time go to the general synod and be- lcnn;:-unnlher cause celebre in ccclesiastical rials. The secretar, a decision in thy deceased, of ot The Amana Society. MoiNes, Ia., Sept, 16.—|Special to TRE —Down in lTowa county there is a large colony at Amana living together on a socialist plan, They have adopted the com- munity form of living though not with com- munity of wives or anything of that sort, as at Oneida, N. Y. But they think they can live better by pooling their issues, so to speak, and carrying on their business on the community or gencral partnership plan, The community includes several hundred voters. Formerly they were all republicans. But a few years ago they left the republican party on gccount of prohibition, and have been voting the democratic ticketever since. They had been raising grapes exteasively, making them into wine, and they rebelled against any interference with what they called their legitimate and honorable business. This year, quite recently in fact, they have an- nounced that they should vote the republican ticket again. They do considerable manu- facturing of woolen, starch and print goods for the Amanain market, and they say that in_self-protection they will have to vote against the free trade part, So they wili probably all, to a man, vote for Harrison and protection this year, This will make quite o difference in the result in their county. . The Crop Prospects. WASHING Sept. 16.—The following is an extract from the weather and crop bulle- tin: Reports from the corn belt, including Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and No braska, indicate that the weather during the week has been espeeially favorable, and that the corn crop, which is very large, is gene ally secure and past injury, The frosts which occurred during the week along the northern border of Towa and in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan did some damage to growing crops. D An Dlinois Desperado Shot, Viscixses, Ind., Sept. 16,—John N.

PASTEUR'S METHOD WITH RABIES The Facts About Five Cases in Which His Patients Died — Richard Fox and the Kilrain Stake —Personals, Surgery Extraordinary. [ Copyriaht 1588 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panrig, Sept. 16.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tns Bee.]—A terrible operation for a cancer has just been suc- cessfully terminated by Dr. Herr Grueber, who has presented his patient to the savants of the Academy de Medicine, The entire transversal section of the jaw, the entire roof of the mouth, the salvatory glands, and four-fifths of the tongue were cut away with the knife. The wounds are now healing andthe deformity resulting from this ter- rific operation 18 concealed by a beard, so that any one casually meeting the patient would not notice anything out of the way. The sense of taste is preserved, but the faculty of speech is almost lost. When he tries to talk he only succeeds in making strange, gurgling sounds like running water, Pasteur's innoculations have not been fol- lowed with, by any means, invariable suc- cess. There bave this year been three cases of death during treatment and two cases after the completion of treatment. A Herald correspondent has visited the hospital and obtained from the highest medical sources the following facts of each case, the three cases of death during treatment and the two cases of death after the completion of treat- ment, The first case was that of Sarazin, of St. Maur rland, agod forty-four, bitten July 1, 1885, There were two severe bites, one on the right side of the forehead and another bite on the skull. The latter tore away the skin in a spot six centi- meters long and five centimeters wide. The wounds were bathed with phenic acid. Two other bites in the right wrist were cauter- 1zed with nitrate of silver, The head of the mad dog that made the wounds arrived at the laboratory July 6. A guinea pig was innoculated in the eye with the poison. Two other guinca pigs were also innoculated inthe body. The first guinea pig went mad July 18, the other July 27, Mme. Tarazin was placed under treatment July 4. She became nervously prostrated July 24. She had headaches and palpitations of the heart July 25. On July 26 and 27 she became dizzy. July 31 she had puins and was attacked with vomiting. During the nights of August 3 and 4 she died at the hospital Broussais. Two rabbits were innoculated by treparnition from the poison taken from Mme. Sarazin. They died of rabies August 18, fourteen days after in- noculation, The second case was that of Joseph Guero, aged twenty-seven, bitten July 13, 1883, on the upper lip. There were four bites, one of which was very severe, at the junction of the skin and mucuous membrane. The wounds were washed with cau pnenque four hours after the bites occurred. The head of the mad dog which made the bites reached the laboratory July 16. ;A guinea pig innoculated in the interior of the eye with the saliva of the dog's head died of rabies August 3. The treatment began July 16, At the end of July he became melancholy, He kept rubbing his hands together. He had violent headaches, August 5 ho was scized with attacks of vomiting, Augustsé he became violent, and August 7 he was placed in the Hospital Necker. He died of rabies August S, The third case was that of Ferdinand La Beaurame, aged thirty-seven, an agricultural laborer, He was bitten by an unknown cat. There were two severe bites. La Beaurame was unable to make the cat let go its hold of him, and it was killed. The blood Howed freely from the wounds which were very deep and not cauterized, The remains of the cat that did the biting were brought to the laboratory. A guinea pig was innocu- lated in the eye with the poison from the cat. “The pig died of rabies twelve days later. La Beaurame was placed under treatment May 30. He left the institute June 2 without giv- ing warning of his intention. He returned June 14 because he felt severe pains in the arms and a severe headache. His Innocula- tions were continued, but in spite of them La Beaurame's sufferings continued. His temperment became altered, he wrote notes about his sufferings and died of rabies in the Hospital De Versallles early in July. The following persons have died of rabics after the completion of the treatment., The first case was that of Mathew Ducos, twenty- eight years of age, a miner. He was Dbitten June 16, 1858, by a cat at the tip of the third finger of the right hand. There were three bites. The wounds were cauterized with alcotol an hour afterward: The cat was proved by a veterin surgeon to have been mad. Ducos was treated from June 20 to July 7. July 106, after hav- ing been exposed to the rain he felt pains in his arms. His suffering increased during the night of the 19th and 20th, On the 20th he entercd the Hospital de St. Etienne. His strength became less and less, he had wild hallucinations and died of rabies July Rabbits innoculated from the poison taken from Ducos died of rabies on the seventh day. ‘The second case was that of Lucien Mes- nil, forty-four years of age. He was bitten March 26, 1885, in the flager by a cat. There were seven bites, five of them deep one: The wounds were cauterized with a red-hot iron six and a half hours afterwards by a doctor. The cat belongad to Mesnil. It had not eaten anything since March 22—seven days. It flew at dogs and poultry. An autopsy of the cat disclosed the presence of straw in the stomach. Mesnil's treatmeat bogan March 20, and continued until April 12, In July pains were felt in the finger that had been bitten, Then July 24 came pains in the wounded arm, followed by pamns in both arms and accompanied by a sensation of cold. OnJuly 23 sleeplessness set in to- gether with general restlessness, On July here was difficulty in breathing and swal- lowing. On the 25th acute hydrophobia with spasms began and death occurred July This case was attended by Dr. Daugettes, I met yesterday Richard K. Fox of the Po- lice Gazette, whose §3,000 is still lying peac fully in the Paris ofice of the Herald waiti for some one who thinks he can whip K rain, I have been anxiously watching the Her- ald, said Fox, “to sce if any one, especially Sullivan and his friends, would cover my posit now with the Herald.

SWAM THE RAPIDS, Daring Feat of Charles Perc Niagara Falls Yesterday. NisaArs FALLS, Sept. 16.—[Special Tele- gram to iz Bee.]—Charles A, Percy, who went through the whirlpool rapids on August 23, 1857, in s life boat and some days after- ward procecded from the whirlpool to Lewis- ton, attempted the same feat this afternoon. He left the old Maid of the Mist landing, above the suspension bridge, at 4:15, and crawled into one of the inclosed apartments of the boat.

Des Moixes, Ia, Sept. 15,—|Special to Bee.]—The oficers of the State Fair sociation have been busily engaged for sev eral days in settling up1ts accounts, They find that the last fair was the largest and most profitable so far held. Thg associa- tion has prospered ever sinco it came to Des Moines bankrupt nine years ago. Since that time the fair has been making money stead- ily. It paid out £40,00) for buildings on rented grounds, and then when the state purchased grounds for srmanent home, the association expended 875,000 in buildings and improvements, and this year put in $10,000 more. This year the receipts were large enough to make up past deficiencies, pay the old debt, and leave a few thousands in the treasury, ‘Theassociation is therefore out of debt, has 100,000 worth of buildings, and owns real estate for fair purposes worth £250,000, The Rock Island road arried 20,000 persons between this city and the air grounds. On one day (Weduesday) 85,000 people were brought in from the grounds and unloaded in fourteen minutes, The distance is four mile: e The Rice Crop Damaged, Savanyan, C Sept. 16.—The flood in the savannah has severed rice plantations near annah, and the rice crop is nearly, it not quite, a total loss.

WasHINNGTON, Sept. 16.—[Special to Tne Bee.] — Another effort s to be made this weck to securo action the house on the bill to the Nicaragua canal com- pany. There are soveral opponeuts to this measure in congress who assert that the fact that the Panama company is very anxious to defeat this bill has nothing whatever to do with their attitude; still the persistonce with which these men use every parliamentar device and the determination with which they fight the offort to pass the bill, would indicate that the Panama Jobbyists have been suftig’ utly persuasive in their argu ments to stiffen up the backs of their friends in congress. For there cau be no other reason for opposing the great American en- terprise than tho desire to aid ths Erench scheme for a canal acro the Isthmus between Panama and nwall, 1f Congress was asked to appropriate a singie dollar to guarantee interest on any bonds, or to become involved financially in any way in the Nicaragua project, there might be some good reason for opposing the bill: but congress is not asked to contribute one ceat. Allthat the projectors desire is na tional recognition in order that they may have some status to maintain their rights in a forcign country. Tho benefits to be de rived from the construction of this canal can scarcely bo estimated. Fr three to ten thousand miles of distance will be saved in sailing from points on the Atlantic seaboard of North America and from European ports to all places on the Pacific coast, as well as 1o China, Japan and places in Austral-Asia, Notonly this, but the benefits to bo derived in a commercial sense are almostincaleula- ble. All the Central American republics will e brought info closer communion with the greatest republic on earth as soon as the canal is completed, and the vast resources of those little countries, Costa Rica, dor, Guatamala, Honduras, Nicarazua the United States of Columbia will be ope to American enterprise and American ene for development and progress. Bach one of the republics anxious for a canal con oceans us any people i States can 1 I fact, more at stake than we consequently, the fecling in the Nicaragua scheme is much spread than it is in the United St icans are too much given o a navre of the possibilities for commorea, It is com- mon to read in American papers of the in- sularism of the Englishmen, but English en- terpriso has done more to develop fc countries than any American farsighte In individual cases Amer as enterprising and as adv and in fact more o, than any othe on earth; but when it comes to a qu where a’ little national ambition is required we find ourselves far in the rear The moment t 14 canal com- pany can be organized with a national char- ter at its back millions of capital for the purpose of building the canal will be availa Dble. In fact, it is understood that more than enough has already been subscribed, and further than this that three-fourths of the suin required will be furmshea by citizens of the United States. If the bill cai ever come toavote it is doubtful if there will be a dozen men to opposo it, but the oponents know this 8o well that they do not propose that the voting stage shall ever be reached if they can possibly avoid it. Still it is so well placed on tie calendar that its final passage seems to be only a question of time, und while it is possible that action may be de- layed during the present session it scems almost certain tnat before the close of the fifuieth congress the United States will recognized the first great forcign scheme in- augurated by Americans and designed to ex- tend tho commerce to our neighbors outside, et i, “ENGLISH, YOU KNOW."” A Bwell Riding School with Admin- istration Support. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—[Special to Tie Bege.]—It would have been much better for the democratic party at large if President Cleveland and some of his cabinet officers nhad chosen soma other placa for instructions in horseback riding than Brown & Co.'s swell riding academy, at Twenty-second and P streets, this city, The firm came to this city from the east not long ago, presumably from New York City, and after casting a business eye around discovered that the west end was the place for a ridiag school “‘you know.” The social element was there and it was sadly awaiting a novelty to break tho monotony of the old things that had becomsa tiresome. The riding arademy was built, and as the rate for instruction was put beyond tho means of the horny-handed son of toil, that unfortunate character had to get his instrugtion in the art from other sources, The firm knew thut some- thing had to be done to mako asensation, and the “paper hunt,” “public music rides,” and the like were gotten up. These gave the es- tablishment tone, and drew the attention of the administration and cabinet towards it. In course of time this becamo known, and the ari ore deligh! av_it. The establishment became very “toney” in con- sequen The managers, to show the public how higzhly the; steemed, have now pub lished a eicular, which contains a statement, that among those wi have become annual subscribers to the riding academy are the following gentlemen: Grover Clevelana, W, . Whitney, Wil . Endicott, Charles & Fairehild, F. Bayard and L. Q, C. Lama T'his would have been proper enough in the minds of the democracy, but for the un e additional statement in the cir- that ‘“only first class, imported grooms employed in the stable.” This aring insinuation that the Amer- fcan groom was too incompetent for such an “‘utterly too too” academy is more than the administration supporters can relish, The common Am groom has been ig- nored and s side as not suMciently *‘chic” for the Jeffersonian simplicity that is alleged to prevail. The administration, in the minds of the faithful, has missed the chance to use the big park south of the white house for practice of horseback riding on a slow “*plug" horse under the guidance of its stable boss. This would have been a card to cause multi- tudes to shout from one end of the land to the other.

He took T. G. Everett with him to assist in making the arrest, as Leeteh was in the habit of going armed and had the reputation of being & desperado. He was found driving along the road in company with his wife.

How Keckley Was Nominated, Yok, Neb, Sept. 16.—[Special to Tne Bee.|—The senatorial squabble is just as complicated as ever, The sccretary of the convention has made out minutes of the pro- ceedings and had them published in the Eillmore county papers and the York Repub- lican, These alleged minutes abound in glaring inaceuracies, and contain statements which are positively false. This secretary bolted the convention and now attempts to give the proceedings after he left. The facts concerning the convention are about as fol- lows: York and Fillmore counties, under the new dispensation, are now in one senatorial district, York having cleven delegates and Filnore ten. At the time of the county couvention the Fillmore politicians con- ceded the senator to York, understanding that this scnator was to be Charles R Keckloy. delegates were selected by Mr, Keckley and a commit- tee from the convention. “Not the slightest difficulty or opposition was anticipated, and no opposition arose until shortly before the convention, when Captain Patrick S. Real came out as a candidate. ‘This did not worry the York delegates greatly, as they had a vote more than their opponcuts. In the convention Hon. N. V. Harlan was chosen chairman. The first ballot was a secret one and gave Real eleven votes and Keck “This was a thunderbolt to the York di who immediately demanded an investigation. The was called and eleven delezat declared they had voted for Keckley. The Fillmore delogates saw they were beaten and bolted, declaring that the first ballot was logai and just, But something was wrong, as these cleven dele- gates now make affidavit that they voted for Keckley. A new vote was talken and Keckle; nominated unanimously. Call it a reconsid- eration or anything clse, it is certain that amajority of the delegates of that conven- tion declared for Keckley in open ballot, and that certainly constitutes a nomination. As the matter stands mnow, both candidates claim the nomination. The I'illmore dele~ gates favor submitting the matter to the state central committec, but this committea has not the slightest authority, and the York delegates claim the nomination and doun't see the necessity forarbitration. The democrats are hopeful, and if both candidates remain in the ficld the demoerats will have an excel- lent opportunity of capturing the seat. The Wayne County Democrats.
