Kach of these boards require a great deal of time, and without the help I have my department would go down. My duties also require me to attond to all cases in the supreme court where the state is ty. A printed brief in cach case is v and requires the personal appear- ance of myself or deputy.

In addition to this, more than®wo thousand opinions on lay questions to public officials throughout the stato, have been written from this department. 1 have no clerical work in my office to perform other than that performed by myself.

The state board of transportation decided that a complaint made that the rates on lumber from Omaha discriminated against Lincoln when shipped south und west. There was no ono on_the vourd but that said this was true, and on remedying the matter I, with the majority orderod tho rates lowered from Omaha, in stead of allowmng the rates to be raised} the rate charged was high cnough, and was ail the roads had been charging, and 1 could not seo any good reason why it should be raised, “1t is truc that I asked that tho Uuion Pa- cific road be foreclosed because the directors in their last report said the road could never pay the debt, und asked that the government debt be given to them. 1f the government does give up its claim, it ought to be given to the people, and not to' the road. The bill now vending in congress, known as the Outh- necessary to their wait bill, is not a good one in my opinion. The manner of computing the amount due he government makes the debt §17,000,000 There the ess than the amount justly due. 18 no reason believe that company would obey the new law, as eve provision of the acts of 1569, 1878 and 1878 lave been disregarded. Eight millions of vollateral trust bonds have been issued, in violation of the act of 1873, without the con- sent of coneress. It had issued and guaran- teed §14,000,000 Oregon Short Line_ bonds, and $7,000,000 St. Joseph & Grand Island bonds, and paid dividends while a floating debt of some $13,000,000 existed. The Outh- waite bill extends the government debt fift years, thereby giving to inferior liens a - pri ority over the government. Then again the conipany refuses to submit to the laws of the state, claiming exemption by reason of being chartered by an act of congress, While I do not believe that this proposition is true, yot the question is raised overy time an ordor is made by the board, “I have nothing to be ashamed of in any of ay transactions, My conscience 1s clear, and 1 propose to stand by the right, and fairly and impartially discharge my ofticial @uty as I understand it.” THREE HOUSES BUKNED, ho firo alarm was turned in at a late bour last night, but not soon enough to save three dwelling houses discovered to be on fire at the corner of Twenty-second and K streets, The buildings were too far from the nearest hydrant to make it possible for the fire department to do effective work The house in which the fire caught is alm. in the. smiddle of the blook, and the Wik drove it into the two Luildings on the east, and it was impossible to save either of them. Mhe boys, as usual, did good work and pro- voked tho'admiration of all who saw them in The their attempts to save the property. buildings were one-story cottages, buiit cost of mearly or quito §1,000 but the Insurance on them was light and the owners, who are poor people, aro heavy losers 1 the of their circumstances. ‘The house in which the fire caught was unoccupied, and the origin of the fire is quite n mystery. No one was seen on the premises and there seems to be no good reason to suspect incendiarism. §UPRENE COURT FROCKEDINGS. Mr, William A. Sellick was admitted to practice, Bandy vs, Early, continued.

New York Times: Information has been received 1n this country through military channels of the complete suc- coss of the trial of the new English Armstrons six-inch rapid-fire gun. This gun is a development of the Arm- strong 4.72-inch rapid-fire gun, which succeeded in throwing in 1 minute and 40 seconds 10 projectiles. each capable of piercing 9 inches of iron. The won- derful suceess of the latter gun, com- monly known as “the rapid-flring 36- pounder,” gave the British an advan- tage in na warfare which fore officers were quick to perceive. It was found that the prejectiles which could be fired with such extraordinary rapid- ity ghed no less than 45 pounds and had a veloeity of 2,073 foot seconds, and Jle” of penetrating 9 inches of ron and 2 feet of oak and teak. The whole weight of the gun is only 4,200 pounds. Notwithstanding the efficiency of the 4.72-inch gun it was decided by the British ordnance board to construct a nch rapid fire gun on the same plan as the former. The question immedi- ately arose, will a 6-inch Armstrong re- sist tho heat ilting from a five of such rapidity? Asa resultof the trial it has been found that the gun has stood intact the enormous H ssure 10 which it has been subjected, and instead of forty-gve pound projectiles the British now have a gun which will throw, with almost the same pidity, projectil weighing 110 pounds, with a penoctra- tion of ten and a half inches of iron and four feet of oak and teak, The powder cha; necarly forty-two pounds in weight and the chamber pressure over seventeen and a half tons, The great advantage pos these British rapid fire guns is rapidity with which they can be loaded and fired, Iol ton class of British eruisers have rel upon them almost wholly for their arm- aments, a vessel of the Garnet class,for instance, asking for no better battory. The new torpedo cpuiser Rattlesnake of the British service carrvies forward on her forecastle her only gun, which con- sists of a rapid-fiving gun having a range of five miles. The Rattlesnake, which has a speed of twenty-two knots per hour, is able to work this® gun, in an ordinary sea way, while running at her highest rate of speed. In no particular ave the rapid-fire uns 50 advantageous as when employed in repelling torpedo-boat night attacks or in clearing a beach of an enemy sh tered behind intrenchments and ‘earth- works, In the engagement at Suakim the oth the Racer and Starling used their rapid-fire guns with more than usual success, and were instrumen- tal in contributing not a small part to the vietory of General Grennell, Several attempts have been made to introduce this British gun into the American service, but so far nothing exactly like it has been adopted.
