They were me by P. J.

Trafic Manager Mellen and Mr. Toni Or chief clerk of Assistant General Manager Dickinson, met the party on this side and M. Gould entered at once lnto conversation with Mr. Mellen on the subject of trafic. Mr. Mellen’s roport on the prospect was very encourging and expressed gratification at tho situation, A carriage was summoned which the Misses Gould, Messes, Howard and Frank Gould aund Mr, Boyd entered and were driven di- reet to e Bee building, from the roof of which they enjoyed an excclient bird’s eye view of the city, after which they made a tour of the quarters of Uit Bee and mani- fested a great interes in the various opera- tions neces: o issuingof a newspaper.

They Can No Loager Rob Olmmmts of the Government, THE BEE'S GRZAT BUREAU OF CLAIMS. it Befriends Widows, Ory and s Com Highest A Scttlers, Patentees, and Soldiers ndcd by the thority. ns Men who have had claims against the gov ernment and employed professional agents to represent them befors the departments in Washington, tell strange stories of tricks and rascality to which they were subjected at the hanas of these merciless creatures, Ther some honest men among | these agents; but thero are so many that are notoriously corrupt, that it is almost im- possible for a claimant, unless he be divect- ¢d by a well-informed individual, to find ono in whom he ean place implicit confldence. Tue Ber has received hundreds of plaints from soldiers and others who had advanced money wh desired and who waited for years and yet failed to reccive any information as regards what the sharks had done with cither money or claim. Tue Beg has also been requosted to recom- mend reliable agents and has, in this way, served to protect the people from fraud and robbery. But that did no good to the people who had fallen into the hands of sharks. As rapidly as the latter were shown up, new ones with new tricks and rascality took their places. “There was but ono means left and that was t0 establish a great bureau of claims. This idea was suggested to a number of people but was put into practice first by the San Fran- csco Examiner, With the Examiner, Tie Bie has co-opera- ted in the great work of affording relief to worthy cl The Washin aminer, Mr acted as pri was detailed to_orza the bureau. His long service 1n Washington in both tuese capacities had given him largo acquaintance with government ofticials and government methods. Knowing the men and the proper procedura to follow, he was chosen as well qualitied to push claims through in tho shortest time if they wero justly due. The best lawyers to be had were then em- paged and a full clerical force put _into the bureau. In overy instance the men were chosen for their knowledgo of the work to be done. Congress was not less claimants from robbery compiaiuts nad come to ik K& and gone to the members of congress as well. Tho com- mittees that had the Indian depredations bill under consideration investigated the opera- tions of the claim agents and atiorneys in connection with the Iudian depredations claims. They found that the claim agents nad demanded 8355 to50 per cent from the men bolding the claims, and in hundreds of cases held contracts at these figures. While the bill was still in congress, with littlo up- pareut chance of possage, they were able, by metiods dangerously uear the line of fulse pretenses. to induce the claimants to sigu the exorbitant demands. “There appeared o be only one way to pro- tecuthe claimants, That was to cancel all contracts by law and limit the fees that at- torneys might collect. The claimants would tlus be enabicd to choose another agent if the one they nad first engaged had attempted to defraud thewm, aud the contracts could not demand more than the specified rate, The ninth section of the bill wi drawn to annul “all sales, transfers or signments of claims” und “all contracts her tofore made.” The waxinum fee to be al- lowed was put at 15 per cent of the amount collected except in ense of claims under £50) or where unusual work had to be done, when 20 per cent might bo allowed. The amount of business received imme- diately after the opening of the bureau is a proof of the confidence in which the people hold it und of the distrust which the ordi- nary claim agent has uroused. In the six wecks, from April | to May 15, claims to the amount of §1,905,341. were filed with the bureau on account of Indian depredation claimsalone. All these go to the court of claims under the act aund are in various stages of preparation and prosecution. Bo- sides the claims under the Indian depre tion act there had been filed at that treasury claims to the amount of s Erench spoilation claims to o amount of $285,883: land claims, $259,350; and patent and other claims to & Lllgc umnum Siuce that date some $2,000,000 of claims have been filed with the bureau, und it is now attending over £5,000,000 of chims. “The need for the bureau may well bo seen by the fact thut it now has on band more claims than all of the claim attorneys of Washington combined. The efforts of congress and the establish- ment of the bureau was not appreciated by the claim agents. They wanted to continue to thrive in thew business of fleecing the claimant. They aceordingly denounced the ¢overnment and tho bureau” They held that the former could not cancel the contracts they hud made with their victims. But tho cancellation was made in tho interest and name of the people. And it meed not be doubted that tho eminent constitutional law- years who framod the act w question did not do so without kmowing what they were doing. The threats of the sharks undoubtedl, had an effect upon some men who desired to make new contracts and securathe service of some other attorney, but this effect will soon bo destroyed and the emancipation of the claimant from tho tyranny of tho shurk be complete. The amount of money that will be saved to the peopie by this work of Tie BEE BUkeAu or Cranvs,may not be ealeulated. Tt will cer- tanly bo very great. The work will be done as_uear actial cost as possible, Some of it will_not cost more than 5 per cent, while much of it can be doue within the 15 and 20 per cont allowed by law, In some cases the 20 per cent muy be required. It is the inten- tion, however, to give the claimant the bene- fitof the lowest charges that will cover the ervice, will prosceute claims in the supreme court of the United States, the court of claims, the several courts of the Dis. trict_ of Columbia, before the committees of congress and tho executive departments.

In tho hog packing industry the Magic City does not wake quite us favorable a showing as it docs In receipts of stock; nevertheless its percentago is not ouly abovo the average, but is much better than any of the other great packing centars, The totul slaugnter- i of hogs for the season has been 4,200,000 s compared with 5,410,000 for the corre- sponding season last year, a falling of 1,240,- 000 or 22,79 por cent. - Chicago deelined from 1,800,000 t0 1,465,000, & falling off of 35,000 or 1861 per cent.

South Omaha's percentage of decline is little more than half that of azo and less than one-third thut of Kansas City. ‘The cause of the r off in packing is because of a scaccity of good hogs in tho east and that a better quality of faney hogs can be proceared for select orders at this market than elsewhere, and as a result easteru fresh meat buyers have been taking all the best hogs at prices above what packing house products would warrant packers in paying.
