Lixcory, Neb, Feb. 2.—|Special to Tie Bee | —Most of the legislature has gone home to draw ffom its fountain of inspira tion. The sonate chamber has been deserted except by the very few senators who have set up their houschold goods in Lincoln for the time being, Submission remains tho up- permost topic among the few herd, and the putriots never tire of telling how they fought gnd bled for their country. These righteous gentlemen are also spinning yarns and fil attentive cars with tales of brazon bribery They attribute the absence of a liquor lobl carlier iu the session to the Peoria whisky trust, which, they assert, instructed Peter Tler not to ex unless the senal passed the Lindsay bill. These virtuous ©olons pretend to know that there was §30,000 in the pot before $14,000 of it got away. Sev- eral re itatives who voted against sub mission inder the imputation of having recoived a share of the tardy boodle, and a number of the holier-than-thous are willling 10 be applauded on suspicion of having re sisted tho blandishments of the wily scaucers. 1f one-fourth of the insin of the submissionists had _any tangib fn fact, it would be ground enough for an in- westigation, but no move in that dircetion s been proposed As indicated by Te Bee's disvatches, the fight on submission has been a pretty even Btrugicle, with the chance of battle wavering in tucortainty. When th o turncd with Senator Tagear last night the submissionists were s to their course. A hasty confers she leaders was beld on the floor, and the management of the contest was put into Church Howo's hands. When the gentleman from Ner moved to concur in_the house amendments he told the senate that submis- sion was a settled fa tion of taking 1t mixed or straight, unfolded his scheme for putting tie oviginal Lindsay bill through the house if the senate fused to pull the tricgers on the double- barrcled arrangement. Nesbitt, till then an anknown quantity, made another of his little teeter board specches, landing finally in Camp How and ' that settled it Pope Joined ' their forces, explaining that by thus straddling he gave a vote to both factions in his district. Polk, who dodged in the senate last week, came up 10 the scratch. These two accessions made the twenty-three ayes. The demands of 'ne Ber and other papers for rensonable economy in the munagement of state affairs are bearing fruit. Both houses are calling on various expensive state institutions for detailed reports of their operations, which will be subjected to the closest scrutiny. Ransom’s bill to abolish the iive stock commission is meeting with quch favor among the farmers in the house, Bud at this writing its passage is_probable, The state university is coming in for atten- tion, and some of its barnacies will be knocked off. Prof. Billings and his hog cholera will have to go, and the appropria- tions for other departments will be reduced. The militia will be put on shorter ration: £00. There is a suspicion that the last ap- propriation has not_been spent wisely aud carefully, and the senate has a search war- Fant out for information on that score. Other institutions will undergo a similar scrutiny, and there will be retrenchment all nlong the line—that is, if the members seek- ng approprintions’ do not make such a shumeful combine as dis- graced the last legislature, It is the scheme ot tho sportsmen to hold the appropriation bills till the end of the session and then run them through under whip and spur. Senator Nesbitt is making an effort to secure for the enate an opportunity to carefully consider he uppropriations. He has put through a resolution asking thé'house to send its bills Ev«r not later than February 15.

BU ALO'S FIRE, One or the Greatest That Has Visited the City, Burrato, N. Y., Feb. 2.—This morning between 3and 7 o'clock, flames destroyed fully $2,000,000 worth of property on Sencca street, Exchangestreet and adjoining streets.

The fire was discovered on the fourth floor of the five-story building owned and in a great part occupied by Root & Keat- ing, wholesale sole leather dealers, at 2:30 this morning. A strong wind was blowi and the flames soon had . good hold on the building, At 3:25 the rear of the six-story brick building of Sibley & Holmwood adjoin- ing, caught fire. It contained nearly ffty tons of starch, which burned like tinder, car- rying the flames over the entire building. From there the flames were communicated to Swift & Stambaci's ana T. C. Reynolds® stores and the Browzel hotel. The guests hastily moved their baggage from the hotel with tke help of the firemen, To add to the difficultics of the firemen sicet began to fall in torrents. The scene on Carroll street was appalling, On the north side of the street the Sibloy & Holmwood building was in ruins and the Jewett building was blazing from basement toroof. At4:15 the walls of the Jewett block fell with a shock that fairly shook the surrounding walls. A frantic struggle was made to get. out the horses from the stable next to the Jewett block.

Dusray, Feb. 2.—-Thomas Sexton yester- day tel apbed to Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, saying thatthe treatment to which William O'Brien had beeu subjected sinco his incarceration in the Clonmel jail had excited intense disgust in Ireland. Sex- ton suys that for thirty-six bours O'Brien had remained naked and is now specchless. The prison officials, considering O'Brien to be in a critical condition, had telegraphed to Balfour for orders. Sexton therefore urged Balfour to issuc orders that the violent treat- ment of O'Brien be at once stopped, and warned him that public anger was ranidly nearing the point where restraint would be impossible. Balfour refused to snswer the communication from Sexton. Arraungeinents are beipg made for bholding meetiugs every- where in Ireland to express indignation at the treatment of O'Brien. The aull officials at Clonwel to-day deny that O'Brien is speochless. They state that on the contrary he was quite well last night and this worning. —— It Was Not Urgent.

And Will Accept the Office if Prof- erred Him—Allison Thinks the Treasuryship Will Go to the West. 518 FOURTERN P STREET, WasniNagtos, D. C, Feb, 2. Senator William M. Evarts, of New York, will not be surprised or displeased if he is asked to take the attorney generalship under President Harrison, In 't he expects an invitation of this kind and willaccept. Ther was a dinner given last night at which there were about fifteen of the most prominent republican and democratic senators present, Atatime when tongues began to limber under the warmth of the courses one of the guests proposed the health of “William M. ivarts, the next attorney general.” BEvery man arose, quaffed off his beverage, and then Mr. Evarts responded. He thanked bis friends for the compliment, and in such o way that all recognized something more than mere pas- time in the proceedit The incident pro- voked not a littl ment, and on the strength of it there was a general expression that Mr. Evart's selection to the attorney feneralship would not only be a good one, but that it was the desire of all present, and furthermore that it was probable. An effort was made to keep the matter a secret, but it h cropped out, and at the capitol much worable comment was made upon it. WESTWALD FORR TREASURY TIMBER. S0 far as the New York republicans in ashington are concerned there will be no wppointment if the secretaryship of the treasury gocs to the west. They expect this to be done. There are no astute politicians here who have at any time during the past three or four weeks believed that New York would sccure the finaucial port- foli Who will constitute the council of Presi dent Harrison was the topic of diseussion by Senator Hiscock and Representative Will- inm Walter Phelos, as they sat on a lounge in the hall of the house of reprosentatives this afterao end of their consul- tation Mr. 1 senator Allison, and immediately orrespondent saw the New Jersey man. you think New York will get the secretaryship of the treasury ' Lusked. was the decisive answer given instantly and without hesitation. Senator Allison does not regard his refusal of the treasury portofolio as in any degree brighteniug the prospects of the east in securing that position. He expects il to go tothe west, Greater interest is shown here in the raakeup of the cabinet just at this timo than during the period when it was bo- lieved that Senator Allison was stated, or in fact at any time before he was offered the asuryship. Reprosentative Stecle, of In- dinna, Who is a warm personal friend of Gen- eral ison, will leave for Ind apolis to- morrow to seo the president-ele During the past twenty-four hours he has talked to nearly every prominent republican in both houses of congress, for tue purpose of ascer- taining what' is desired i Ation to the secretaryship of the Bvery scction of the country, he says, waives its personal desire and the unanimous wish is that President Harrison shall select the ublest financier to be found, without any respect to recognition of section, The New Yorkers and the New England peoplo say they do not want to influence General Harri- son one way or the other. ‘They only ask that the very best man be selected. So far as it is known here, New York is making no al effort to secure the treasuryship. It ken for granted that General Harrison some time ago made up his mind that he would go west for his treasury timber. CONSOLIDATION OF LAND OFF| The socretary of the intorior has been urged by Holman and other democrats of the house to consolidate as many land offices us possibie, under the law requiring the consoli- dation, of land offices, when the area of vacant lands has fallen below 100 acres within a district. The secretary of the interior, a short time since, called upon the commissioner of the g 1 land oftice f reports as to the several land ot brasku, notably the Bloomington of ssioner has made a report to the secre- vy in response to such call, that the vacant ds in the linits of the Bloomington dis. trict are reduced to a little more than three thousand acres. Thereupon the sceretary in- dicated his intention to cousolidate that oftice with the office at Lincoin. Senator Paddock has just had an interyiew with the secretary upou the subject. He insisted that the the: ory under which the amg of vacant lands in‘adistrict shall bo determined, namel ract filed upon shall be treated as ated, and 1o longer vacant land, shall be changed in respect to the lands disposed of under the present svs- tem. This rule was _established for cash entries when large bodies of land were s0ld for cash a public sale to a single indi- vidual, and is not the proper theory for the present timo when lands are aimost entirely disposed of under the homestead, pre-emp- tion and timber culture acts. Under these acts the filing upon a tract for settlement is a very small part of the business that the locator has with the land ofice. The princi- pal business that the settler may have with the local land oftice is nired to be done after the mere act of filing been per- formed. Mr. Paddock insisted that only those lands should be considercd to be vi- caut lands where the transter nas been made by final certificate or patent to the location. Under this rule it is doubtful if the Bloom- oftice ¢ perly be consoliduted quiring consolidatic The ! -y indicated that he would consider that view, and agreced with Mr. Paddock that there was much force in it. However, if upon investigation it shall be found that even under this rule there may not remain 100,000 acres of vacant land, the office will undoubtedly bo ordered to be consolidgated with the ILin- colu oftice. Mr. Paddock thinks no other land in Nebraska is in present danger of beiug closed, WASHINGTON BungAy T OMArtA Brs, } ARMY ORDERS.

This devotee of the nine muses was invited to the wedding of Katrina Ereci and John Ilanopfsky—mouth-filling and portentuous cognomen, unrhymable to the last degree. The nuptial fostivities were held in a rink, and when the minstrel saw the bride e seizod his lute and poured forth his soul in burning strains reminiscent of the days whon Katrina and he roamed the meads of Hungary togcether. He told how that love still lived. The passionate strains of the love which had not died came thronging forth as stirringly as when a_lad kicks a beehive, Kutrina was carriod away with the tide of her emotions, She rose and ad- vanced toward the rhymer with outstretched arms. The poet had won back her heart. But the husband—gross, common_clay that he was —arose and kicked the troubadour out of the rink. The next day the poet was again working in the sugar house snd Ka- trina was still the bride of John IHlanopfsky. ong is poesy, but stronger yet the kick of an irato spouse.

Remarkable Series of Deaths of Per- sons Whom Ho Feared. NEw York, Feb, 2.—Tho Tribune publishes a significant interview with a prominent diplomat at Washington, which is in tino with the Paris dispatch to the Associated press last night, which points out thesin- gular coineidonces of the mysterious deaths of Prince Rudolph, Gambetta, General Skobeleff, King Ludwig of Bavaria, ana others, all of whom were persons that Bis- marck had occasion to fear. The intorview points out that Rudolph was opposed to the ascendency of Germauy in the triple allianco; that upon his as- cension to the throne he would have doubtless been made king of Bohema, and that the fact of his friendshin for Clemenceau and Boulanger was well kuown. It points out that fate has worked to Iismarcic’s ad vantage through the most extraordinary series of tragic coincidence; declares that Bismarck knew eight hours in advance of the attempt upon the life of the czar, when with Louis Napoleon at Paris i 1567, but allowed it to bo done, knowing it would’ prevent the alliance of France and Russia, which would have rendered the Franco-German war im vossible.

Tt was strange that no comment bad been made on defects such as these. Tho ex- planation was clear. It was found in the fact that the republican papers and repub- licaus generally had not been desirous of using the hypocritical methods which had been employed by the_democrats to breal down the reputation of and find fault with vessels built under u republican administra- tion in the ship yard of John Roach.
