AVOID ISSUES Bitver Problen Will B Sidetracked by | Tariff Dahate, | DEMOCRATS | BUT CONGRESSMAN BRYAN THINKS NOT That the Factions Wil Permit Ming to Interfer Fall Elections v Political Gossip, Tndieations No with Their Pros te at th Othor Washingt 514 WAt NG ‘No, sir, there will be tho silver aud tariff sontative Bryan of Nebraska, a member of the commitiee on ways and means, 10 reply 10 a question this afternoon as to what would be done with the silver problem after tariff takes tho floor. 1 think the democrats in the house, tinued Mr. Brgan, “have enough parlia- mentary skill, as well as volitical tactics, to handle the two great quostions atone and the same time without making them elash. The bill placing wool, binding twine and cot ton ties and cotton bagging ou the freo list will be reported to the house on Saturday, the 27th instant, and on uesday, the lst of March, they will be taken up for consideration. Tt is the Getermination of the committee on ways and means to push the debate upon theso questions forward until they are voted upon, but the committeo does not believe that there is any more im portance attached to these measures than there 1s to the proposition in Mr. Bland's free coinage bill and whenever it is decided that the tariff bill shall stand aside and freo coinage come to the front the decision will meet with no opposition on the part of any democratic member of the committee on ways and means,” But Action Will Be Delayed. Notwithstanding thoofticial statement from a demoerat who represents tho Crisp faction, and, therofore, the controlling powers ot the house, there 18 good renson to believo that ono of the principal objects in determining to bogin the debato upon the speeific tarift bills before day is fixed for the consideration of the silver question, is to definitely delay, if not absolutely side'track, the latter question until after the Novembe olections, It will be very easy for the silver and antisilver democrats to play shut’locock with tbo sil ver and tarift bills and aefeat an actual voto upon the silver question before tho fall elec tions. It is improbable that there are moro than two dozon of Mr. Blaud's foliowers who > auxious to be placed on record respecting free coinage. The truth is, almostevery democrat in congress would be glad of the opportanity to dodge the silver guostion Mr. Bland himself is fully determined to force tho fight on frec coinngo, and if thero in sullicient power within bimseif and his followers the silver question will come be fore the house at no distant di Whilo the free comage advorates aro clam- oriug through their correspondence and pres intervicws for an early action upon the silver question and are announcing with apparent vehemenco that they ave eager for tho fray, 1t is noticed in a lurge majority of instances that they aro encouraging immediate com mencement of the debato upon tho tariff. Democratic members of the committes on ways und means say the dobate upon tho three tariff bills which are to come up m the house on tho Ist of March will last at least six weeks, This would take the house until the middie of May, did it do nothing but, talk tauff. About fourteen appropriation bills are to bo passed before the final vote s taken upon the taniff. It will take more debat upon theso appropriation bills than it will upon the three tariff bills, so that, it may be seen, July will como Leforo the tariff bill and tho regular appropriation bills can be dis posed of, which will make action on the sil- ver bill out of the question unless the domo- crats ubandon their decluration for an early adjournment of this session.

On the 17th of next month, woro it not for this suspension, General Swaim would be cligible to retirement under tho rules which allow ofticers 10 retire unon their own applications for a service gf thirty continu- ous years.

Efforts have repeatedly been made o secure the sus pension of tho seutence imposed npon the gencral, but there hus becn one reason or other in the way. 1t looks now as though in view of the approach of the date when Gon oral Swam may bo placed upon tho retived list by tho oporation of the law, the presi- dent may suspond tho sentence, and lot the law tako its action.

AR AN OMAHA RESORT. Courtland Bench to be ¢ able Summer 1 The peoplo of Omaba and vicinity have clamored long and loud for summer resort near at home, a resort which they could visit together with their families without being compelled to contribute large amounts of money in paying railroad fares. On account of the lack of such a resort the woulthy ones have each summer flocked to the mountains, while those or tho middle classes Lave found plessure in sojourning at Minnetonka, Spirit Lake and even Manewa. At last the problem has been solved, and whon the scason opens Omaha people’ will find a resort not more than twenty minutes ride from the business conter of the city. "’ho proposed resort is at Courtland Beach, on the south <hores of Cut-Off lake. A year or more ago the Courtiandt Beach Imgrovement association, with largo capi- tal back of it, was organized. The first move was to dredge the lake ana cover the bottom with sand, thus making a fine and clean beach. A far as the public _know thero the matter rested and the sime public hoped against hope. ‘Tne stockholders of —the cou pany, wany of whom are among the richest men in the city, were not idle. They wore busy getting their affairs in shape to begin active operations this season. Somo wecis ago they employed an archi- tect to draft the plans for a summer hotel, pavilion, bath houses and pagodas. This work bas been completed and the contract for erecting the buildings has been let, with the understanding that they are to be com- pleted and ready for occupancy on Decora- tion day, the day on which the’ pleasure re- + will be operied to the public. The plans for tho hotel contemplate a building to co. ,000. Tt will ve & frame structure two stories in height, with wide versndas running entirely around the first and second stories. It will be con- structed similar to the fashionable sum- mer hotels at the seaside resorts, with the reception, dining rooms, parlors and kitchens on tho first floor. The second floor will be given up to private rooms and par- lors. The buiiding will stand about 100 foet from the shors of the lake, upon a high knoll, thus maintaining a fine view ot the entire sheot of water. Mr. Philbin says that besides the hotel there will be any number of bath houses, all ueatly furnished and equipped with = all modern convenieucos, A now steam yacht capable of carrying 100 peaple has been purchased, to arrive May But this will not affora only facilities for boating, as new boats of modern design have boen purchased to arrive before the opening of the season. A large umount of work will be done upon the lako as soon as spring opens. The bot- tom will be smoothed off and covered with , which witl cnable bathers to go out 300 feet from shore before gotting ud their depth. These improvements which havo all been contructed for will represent an outlay of not less than How to r might worr ed by n Fashlon- ch the luke is a question that the pleasuro seekors, but that problem has been solved. Arrange- ments have been completed by which tno Omaha Street Car company will oxtend its Sherman avenue line from the intersec- tion of Sprague street north to Amos nvesuo, and thence east, o tho hotel over the bridge which is to be bullt by the county and city over tho west arm of tho lake. The cars will mamtain a ton-minute service during the season, with ent fave from the business center of the The projectors of the enterprise state that the resort will bo first-class in every respect and will be a placo that ladies without oscorts can visit without fear of being iu- sulted, New Washington, ¥ n., People are not_slow abont taking hold of a new thing, if the article has merit.

A Wagon Load of Compo Police Inspection, A woman and five children, ranging in age from 2 to 16 years, drove up to the police sta tion yesterday morniug with a demoralized covered wagon and sadly debilitated horse and asked for assistance. The woman said that they had lived on a farm near Lincoln, where her husband diea about a year ago,and they were on their way o Burtington, Ia,, where they have relatives. That they wero in dostitute and very needy clrcumstances was apparent at a glance,even bofore the mother stated that they had had nothing to eat since Thursday noon. A rickety stove In the wagon threw out very little heat and the scautily clad children crouched shiverwgly near it. The most repulsive featura of the eutire outfit was the oldest of the children, & 16- yoar-old glrl. Her face was stained with tobacco, and from either corner of her mouth had exudad & decoction of tho masticated weed that had weandered down over her chin and down her neck, leaving well defined nurrow gauge trails bebind. The forward wheel and sbaft on the side on which sbe sat, as well as the rump of the ' regretful boast that furnished motive power, were likewise covered with LY frozen coating of browish varnish that indi- cated the strenglu and coutiunuity of ber “chaw.” he outfit was referred to the county commissioners. — Tnion soap, manufactured in N - Republican State ¢ ‘The republican state central committee will meet at the Millard botel this after noon.

Are Known to Favor the Doubt of the ndep ce Leadors But There I8 Some ent Lixcory, Nob,, Feb. 19.—|Special to Trr vornor Boyd has as yet made 1o \ent as to his views in rogard to calling an extra session, and it may bo statod that he has not determined just as to what course to pursue. Ho will sound the membors of the legislature themselves befora coming to any conclusion and will ask their views upon the matter, especially upon the subjects which should be embraced in the call for an oxtra session. With this end in view each member of the legislaturo will witin the next few days receive a coy of the following letter “Dear Sir: Would you have the kindness toadvise mo by veturn mail your opinion as to whether, in your judgment, it is advisable for'me to call an oxtra session of the logisla- ture, and if so, what subject or subjects should, in your opinion, bs embraced in said eatl, Also whether you think the mem hers of the legislature would agree Lpon a reason- ublo maximum rate bill—say a reduction from the present tanfl rates of 10 to 20 per cent. Most truly yours, J. I3 Bovp, Governor.’ It will bo impossiblo, of course, to fore- shadow tho results of the proposed ' inguiry, as it is well known that the members of the logislature are themselves divided upon tho question. Editor Pirtle, who but yesterday succeeded Jay Burrows as oditor of the Farmers Aliiance, tho mouthpiece of the independent party of the state, is known to boin favor of an extra session, and said last evening that he pelieved one would be called carly in March. Representativo MoReynolds, and independent member from Clay county, was at the capital today, aud he stated that in hiis belief there would be no session. So the comments and opinions run, and it is not impossible that when Governor Boya has vo- ceived replies from all of hisinquiries he will be as much in tho dark as to the wishas of the members of the legislatiire as he is at present. Major Watson's Appointment. With reference to the many criticisms that have been gratuitously bestowed upon J. C. Watson for nccopting a_position upon Gov ornor Boyd's staff Adjutant Goneral Vif- quain today made the following statement : fr. J. C. Watson's appointmont as_judge advocate goneral has been the cause of much adverse criticism against Governor Boyd and Mr. Watson. These gentlomen have never auswered theso criticisms bocause ey know them to be unjust and because they belioved that the truth would at the prover time be mado public. That time has now come and inasmuch us I was responsible for tho appointment it is proper that I should make the explanation. “You will remember that during the In- diun campaign in tho early part of last year a member of the Nebrasia National guard was killed by o comrade. A board of inquiry investigated the matter, in accordance with militury rogulatious, and in due timo_the re port of the board, with all the evidence taken, reached me. After reading the report very carefully, 1 was of the opinion that the killing of the Soldier referred to was a mur- der instoad of an accident. I foared that tho friends of the man might give the state somo trouble, andto guard against this [ sent for Mr. Watson, then in thesenate cham- ber, and submitted the case to him. 1 asked him if he, as judgo advocate general, ac- quanted with the technicalities of military jurisorudence, could assure me of a success ful defenso in the event of the matter find- ing its way into the courts. He was positive be could. After cousultation with Govoruor Boyd, Mr. Watson was appointed jude ad- vocul® 1o meet this emergency. This was tho secret of the whole matter, and I hardly think it fair to eriticise Governor Boyd or Mujor Watson because they acted with the best iuterests of the state in view. “The stato first, the party next is good democratic doctrine. We wero actuated by this and this alone in the appointment of Major Watson and he was no doubt actuated by his sense of duty to the state in accepting the place, as there are no emoluments con- nected with the oftice.’” Money Must Go to the State. Yesterday Chief Oil Inspector Heimrod ad- dressed a_letter to Attorney General Hast- ings submitting for his opinion a very fine point of Jaw. According to his letter In spector Carnes had balanced the books on February 1, of the present year. with a cash balance on hand of £ Mr. Heimrod re- quested Mr. Carnes to turn over all books, records, moneys and other property belong- ing to the office. Mr. Carnes at once turned over the books, but replied that tho money in his hands would be turned iuto the state treasury according to law. Tho point mado by Mr Heimrod in his letter to the attorney general was that the law requires all monoys in excess of the salaries and ex penses turned into the stato treasury at the end of each fiscal year. The pay of the doputies and the inspector is pro rated upon tho total fecs collected for the wiole year, and any uction on the part of Mr. Carnes in witnholding a portion of the year's receipts would seriously embarrass the inspector and his deputies in the event that the year's re- were not large enourh to pay expenses, It was Mr. Heimvrod’s belief that all moneys collected by Mr. Carnes during the current year should be turnea over to him instead of the state treasury. Attorney Genoral Hastings today gave it as his opinion that Mr. Carnos could not do otherwise than to turn the money into the stato wreasury. The gist of his opinion is contained in the foilowing senten: “To stute 1t another way, in the event he should turn over the money remaining in his bands at the closo of his term of office which was in excess of his salary and the salary of his several deputies, and which belonged to the state, to aay person than the state treasurer, 1 am free to suy that he and his bonasmen would be liable to the state therefor.” Omuha Case in the Supreme Courr, An interesting case from the district court of Douglas county reached the supreme court today, It is entitled Jensen agalnst the Lewis lavestment company. The point in- volved is the liability of an investment com- pany for the acts of # man who 1s ouly tem- {norurlly in their employ as an agant. Jensen 5 the owner of & piece of property in the city of Omaba, and in the spring of 1857 pego- tiated a loan on the property through one L. A. Stewart. This man Stewart was not the s0le agent of the Lewis Investment compauy, but placed applications for loans with varions companies, according to cireu mstanc Jensen loan was piacea with the Lewis com pany of Des Moines. Jensen signed notes and mortgages to the amount of $1,200. and the papers were duly filed. The Lewis company forwarded the money to Stewari, who failed to pay it over 1o Jensen, but as alleged in the papers 1n the caso absconded. In the lower court the Lewis company claimed that Stewart was Jensen's agent rather than their's, Judge Wakeley beld in Lis decision that for that occasion at least Stewart was the ageut of the Lewis company and hence tLat company was respousible for bis acts. He ordered the Lewis company to cancel the notes and case the mortgage witbin ten days. The supreme court is now asked to decide tho point at issue. ‘T'he case is much more im. portant thau it appears on the surface.

In January last B, 1. Cushman took his seat as treasurer of Gireoley county. His offico was contested by H. M. Milne,who was declared by the courts entitled to the office. During the Cushman administration a corlain sum of money was collected be. longing to the state, the commissions on the samo amounting to 834362, The query arose, who is entitlod 10 the fees—Cushman or Milne? The attorney gonoral gave it as his opinion that the auditor should ‘‘credit to such officer ns has performed the services such fees as ho would, under tho statutes. be entitied, provided, of course, such fees woro earned while he actually beld such oftice and performed the duties thereof under color and claim of right.” Gossip at the State House, s of incorporation of the Co-opera tive Union of Palmyra were filed with tho secretary of state today.

No now appointments wero maao today but it 1s confidently expected that a number will be made Monday. They Still Fight, The war botween Chief Dinges and tho gamolers is still on. One night last week the chiof and four other ofiicers swooped down, or more properly speaking, up, as tho gamblars wera in the thicd story, on'a party in the Hotel Ideal. 1t has long beon su pocted that gambling was going on there, but owing to the presence of two men at tho doors and electric bells all attompts to get in wero balked. This time, however, they got a confederata inside tho hotel, and entrance was secured through his window. The case was culled bofore Judge Borgelt this after- noon. The defense sought to prove by Dinges that entry was secured by stealth, constitu ting trospass, and that to enter a dwelling at night it must bs by special loave of tho court by a search warrant. Tho court ruled tha the witness need not answer. After consid- erable argument the case was taken under ndvisement. That Clerkship Contes The recount of votes in the aistrict ship contost is proceeding very slowly. All ballots in any way indicating ‘the intent of the voter, whether marked with leaa pencil. at the right or inside the lines, are admitted. There are still seventeen precinets to be can- vassed, and if the contestaut, Waite, does not gain any more than he has so far, the contest will be aseless, So far his net gain is only fourteen. From the Court House, Judge Field today granted divorces to Randolph M. Volk from Cyntia L. Volk, and Lena M. Nourso from Fred H. Nourse. De- sertion and cruelty were the grounds in each case.

Thoy were more imnortant to him and his constituents than the complaints ot others, and, loyal to the interosts he ropre- sonted, he insisted on having all his griev ances embodied in tho schedule. The Union Pacific traverses an enormous strotch of country, with widely varing conditions on its several divisions, and in order toavord discord the committies incorporated in their schedule a great many points to appeaso particular sections, The result was soven elaborate propositions emvodying a considerable increaso in wages, which Mr, Dickivson estimated at $300,000 a year. When the grand officers, Messrs, Clark and Morrissey, arrived the schedule was sube mitted to them. They undertook to harmon izo conflicting interests, andathe committoos permitted them to act os judges and arbi trators. The grand ofivers took the stand that the wages of Union Pacitis employes compared favorably with thoso paid by other railways, and the di rected their efforts to tho correction of ine- qualities and abuses existing uunder the present schedule. The most important of those is the compu- tation of overtime, in which there has been an unfair diserimination agaiust conductors and brakemen, particularly on freight trains. For example, they might “bo side tracked by a dispatcher for hours and would receive no pay for the lost time, while the engineers and firemen would be allowed overtime Mr. Dickinson has conced tho justice the demand for 8 change in the rules govorning overtims, and as the revisod schedule approved by the grand officers and now under discussion proposes a comparatively smull increase 1 theitem of wages it is’ probable that a satisfactory agreemont will be reached. The conference will be continued today. While Mr. Dickinson admits injustice in the matter of overtime, the committees i that the other demands are equally fair, The questions at issue are being argued in order, and the conference is likoly to run over into next week. of Notes and Personals, J.

The delay in appointing a brigadier general to fill the_place made vacant by the retire ment of General Kautz has becomo a subject of much conjecture avd wouder among urmy officers. 1t is almost two months since Gon- oral Kautz was retired, and still thore is no appointment.
