Beatrice, Neb, Oct 26.—[Special Tele- gram to T Bie.] ~There is some prospect that the 20,000 of overissue bond in the First paving district will be refunded fato Second and Third aistrict bond. George D. Sehofleid, the Nebraska agent of the eastern bondholders, was in the city, and in confer: ence with the city authorities on this ques- tion yesterday. he city will suffer no loss in any event, and enjoy the peculiar distine- tion of having more nioney on hand than it knows how to logally dispose of. The mis- take of the overissue occurred in including the sraections in the original estimate for the £50,000 bond, which, with the $22,000 intersection’ bonds voted by the city, makes a double issue of bonds for the intersections, In the case of the side- walks their width was increased from twoivo 1o fifteen foet, imstead of from ten to fifteen feet, as first stated, thus reducing the area 10 ve paved six feet instead of ten after the bonds had been issued and negotiated, The Congregational Convention.

New Onreaxs, Oct, 20.—~Tho grand jury made a report to-day on the bond steal. It states that during 1850-S1 $200,000 consolidated bongs were exchanged, accord- ing to law, for 4 per cents, known as consti- tutional bonds. Notwithstanding the ex- change and the positive maundates of the law requiring their immediato cancellation, these bonds were vetwined intact until May 4, 1883, and were used by Treasurer Burke on that day for his private purposes. The total fraudulent bonds put in circula- tion by Burke amounted to #373,600, includ- ing $10,000 of constitutional bonds, The con- stitutional bonds purported to have been issued in exchange for certain consolidated bouds and had been numbe with outstanding consols. In many cases fraudulent numbers were duplicated, and in ouo case the same number was used three times, The grand jury found fifteen or twenty in- dicuments against Burke, including breach of trust, embezziement and forgery, and five agaiust other parties, meluding tWo agaiust W.

This firm built the gunboat Petrel. After the reading of the bids was con- cluged, Secretary Tracy expressed himself satistied with the propositions made.

Lewis for gov- oruor and Park Agnew for lieutenant gover- uor. THE BATTLE IN OLD VIRGINIA Mahone Shows Himself a Master of Political Strategy. THE BOURBONS LESS CONFIDENT. Washington Republicans Anxions Abont the Admission Proclama- tion—The President Still alts for Montana, 518 FOURTEENTH STREET, Wasninaron, D, C., Oct, 26, Although Virginia is in the habit of getting all the fun there is outof a general state election, the Old Dominion never saw before @ campalgn to cqual this one, From the Potomac to the Norih Carolina line the whole state is excitement. Barbe- cues, meetings and gatherings of all kinds are being held every day, and each side in the great fight is doing its utmost to win. When General Mahone first accepted the nomination it was generally thought here by republicans and democrats alike that he was bound to be defeated, as the election machinery is in the hands of the democrats, and they have everything at stake. But Mahone, who is one of the most wonderful pohitical organizers in the country, did not propose to aliow unything to go by default. He admitted no “foregone conclusions” into his vocabulary of political terms; but on the - contrary, from the outset he had the opposi- tion of many of the older republicans, those who were originally known as the “straight- outs” as opposed to the ‘' readjusters’ Langston, the most powerful of the colored republicans, was also against him, and for weeks the democrats were felicitating them- selves with the delusion that they had a walk-over. To-night, however, ail reports from Virgimia are to the effect that the littld® general has ganed so rapidly that he has created the greatest alarm among his oppo- nents, resulting in the opening of one of the largest democratic barrels in the stnte. Mahone hus adopted every known m of advancing the interests of the republican ticket and a great many that were never be- fore heard of. He has plustered the state with reading matter and keeps the presses running day and night. The reading mafter turncd out isof u character never thought of by the other side and it 18 baving a remarkable ef- fect among the negroes. Thousands upon thousands of circulars are being distributed from Kichmond signed by all the colored preachers calling upon their flocks to vote the republican ticket. The circulars are so ingeniously inter- lurded with_scriptural quotation as to have a marked effect, Ten days ago the republican who hela that Mahone might carry Virginia was laughed at. He was rezarded as an enthusiast whose hopes got the better of his judgement. To- night the sentiment is eatirely changed and the crank of last week 18 looked upon more as a pretty likely sort of a prophet, To show how how the sentiment bas changed hexe it is only necessary to say that one of the members of the republican committs now 1n Wasnington, has had vlaced in his hands a large sum of money to er that Mahone will be elected and he is ) 1l 0dds that may be offerecd. The Virginia election, ‘while purely a local one, has a national significance, as it 'will doubtless have a de- cided effect upon the selection of the United States senator. This is one of the reasons why €0 much interest is takon. Another is that this is the first real fight between the republicans and the democrats in the Old Dommion since the repudlicans and read- juster parties were consolidated. THE ADMISSION PROCLAMATION, Prominent republicans at Olympia tele- graphed here to-night asking when Presi- dent Harrison intends to issue his proclama- tion admitting the four new states. ‘Washington is anxious to get into statehood and the governor - elect as well 8s the state officers and candidate for the United States senate are eagerly requesting an extra scssion of the legisluture. 1t has been decided that the action of Gov- ernor Mellette in calling an extra session of the legislature in South Dakota for the elec- tion of the United States senators was regu- lar and legal. The owmnibus statehood bill provides that the legislatures may mcet in special session, select senators and certify their elections to the president with the re- sult of the elections. Everything is being held back the returns Trom Montana, The president is not_expected to issue his proclamation until the Montavna returns are received un- less they are delayed indefinately, in which cvent he will issue the proclamation without naming Montana. TOO MUCH HANDSHAKING. General Raum, the new commissioner of pensions, had a foretaste this afternoon of what a president of the United States has to stand in the way of hahdshaking. The gencral shook hands with his em- vloyes. There areabout 1,500 or 1600 of them, When he got through his right hand fell at his side, as though it had no strongth. The general is'a happy d, good disposi- tioned mun, but he looked as though he could see 10 fun in the procecdings when they were avanend. Many of the employes had neve scon their new chief. The reception took place just beforo the close of busiusss at 3 o'clock, ‘I'be new commissioner has made tne sion office look like a new pin, It has swept and cleaned up until one would know, even though he were a stranger, that something radical had taken place. Itis now definitely sottled that the illegal and irregular pension rerating will be called in, ana those who have got money un- lawfully or irregularly will be compelled to disgorge. TUE DOCTRINE OF CIVIL SERY “Tt is true that oficial patronage ina curse o both parties and men, but since we are held responsible for the oftices and their ad- ministration at this tune, I am determined to do what I can to have democrats put out and republicans put into the places outside of the civil service limits, I believe in party re- ward where the public service is not im- pairced and am heartily tired of this thing of keeping democrats in positions which con be just as well and oftentimes better filled by republicans who have earned them by services to their party and their country.” This was the gist of whut Senator Man- derson said to Tur I correspondent this afternoon, and is the sentment of every re- publican who has been in Washington since March 4 last, looking after places for their party friends. Senator Manderson had just returned from a visit to Indian Commissioner Morgan. He bas tola Senator Plumb, of Kansas, Senator Manderson and others that he does’ not pro- pose to put democrats out of ofice simply to put republicaus in, that wherever ho finds a democrat who filis his place acceptably he shall stay there. Senator Manderson enterod protest with Commissioner Morgan agaiust charging up to Nebraska the appointment of a ductor in Towa a8 physician to ihe Winnebago and Omaba llurhml in Nebruska. Of course the idea of the cowmission was to deduct this appointment from the quota of patronage to be given to Nebraska, Whnenao officer wants to make & personal appointment he looks over the list ana charges it to the state hav-~ ing received the smallest aniount of patron- age. Then there is just that much taken from those who deserve patronage in that state. Senator Manderson said he and the other members of the Nebraska delegation in congress would most earnestly protest against the saddling upon their state of any- one who is not a resident of Nebraska, They want the ofices for those to whom the offices belong. ‘The delegation Lad recommended the ap- ointment of Dr. Stephenson, & resident of ebraska, and they waot bim appointed. 1f Mr. Morgan wants to give his friend in Iowa place he shonld seud him elsewhere. That is the way the Nebraska delegates feel. The senator then asked the commissioner of Indiao affairs to l{:polnt. J. W. Tucker Lo be shipping clerk at Valentine. For some years before the Cleveland regims Mr, Tucker was a land oficer at Valentine, but be was then, as mow, & republican and he stepped down and out that & demo- crat could come in, The commissioner re- fused to remove the present shipping clerk, suying that he was filling the position se- ceptably and be did not propose 1o turn of- Wasminaron Buneav Tue OMana Beg, % awaiting pen- been floers ont Just bocause they were demoorats and because republicans wanted the position, Primy 8, HEATH, ottt e AN IOWA FEUD, of a Farfior Near New Hampton, Des Morses, Ta, Oct. 25~ Spocial Tele- geam to Tue Bee]—A fond has been ox- isting for yoars between the familios of Petar McKenna and Thomas Doud, farmers, living on the Wapsie four miles rrom New Hampton.

This weok the employos refused to resume work unless some guarantee wore givon them, and the co-operative company could not give it. As the entire output of tho works for the year been contracted fos there is a great doal of ill-feeling in Laramio over tho shut downs and it is freely charged that the men in charge of the work sold out to tho eastorn glass trust. The charge, however, lacks proof. The glass on hand and other' usset, are sufticient to meet all liabilities.
