THE OMAHA = | i TWENTY— HARMONY IN THE COMMITTEE Republican Leaders of the Farty Ready for Good Work. CORNELIUS BLISS MAY BE CHAIRMAN If it Is Found Expedient to Go Outside of the Committes to Fill the tlon the New Yorker Will e Choke Wasnixg 518 FovrTreNTi STHE Wastixaros, D. C., Jun A great deal of interost centers in the selection of a chairman of the republican na- tional commit ce. The hotel whero tho com- mittos will assemblo at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning for organizing hus been the sceuo of considerable bustle all day and its corri- dors are lively tonight with politicians, About thirty of the fifty wembors of tho na- tional committeo are in the city and the at- tendance promises to bealmost full. A num- ber of proxies are said 1o be in the hands of tho retiring chairman, Mr. Clarkson, but as evidenco of the keenest sort of interest iu the approaching campaign 1t is stated that the attendance tomorrow will be larger than usual, Up to this evening & chairman has not beon declded upon. It looks s though some of bo contests which took place at Minnneapo lis in the old committes would bo repoated nere in the uew committee, Thero are some of Chairman Clarkson's friends who insist that he shall be re-elected in spite of _the ae- sire to have a chairman from Now York or some other castern stato whero he will be in- aividuaily known and where personality will have much weight with the head of the com mittee and whero the work of the committeo will be performed. Clarkson's Friends Active, This afternoon the friends of Mr. Clarkson proposed thut il ho was elected chairman of ine committee they would accord the nam- ing of the executive committee to those who oppose Mr. Clarkson and thie chairman of tho executive cominittee might by taken from New York. 'fhis was not accepted ns practicable, even by Mr. Clarkson, as two heads might get at loggerbeads and work to crozs purposes. It has been the custom to make tho cbairman of the nutional committee chairman also of the executive comuittee, aud it is probable that thia elec- tion will hot be an exception to the rute. If it is found thata chairman of the national committeo can be taken from outside of the committee, it may be that Cornelius N. Bliss of New York will bo the man to preside over the munagerial destinies of the republican campuign. In any event Mr. Clarkson, it is stated, is to be placed upon the executive committee. There is to be harmony of action and_the committee is to be organized so that 1t will be most effective. The best of feeling prevails in every quarter. “There is not & word uttered of opposition 1o the presivent, and a dispositior. prevails to nccord to tha president the fullust influence and consideration iu the work of the commit- tee. Itis expected that the committeo will be 1n session three or four days, and that a general plan of cawpaign will be determined upon. IMumhnrs of the national committee today road with interest the dispatches from Chicago announcing that Judwo Walter Q. Grecham bad taken under consideration the proposition to meke him the people’s party canaidate for the presidency. None of them would belleve that Generai Gresham could be induced to lena himself Lo such u cause. ‘Phey were contident that Gresham could see that his cacdidacy wouid resultin nothing more than embarrassment to the repub- licans if indeed it cut any serious figure at all, and since General Gresham owes to the rngubllcun party whatever ho may have achioved in the way of prominenco ‘in poli- tics, it would be more than folly to join a movement against the republican cause, Mr. Harrison's Running Mate, Vice Presidential Candidate Whitelaw Iteid spent Friday ufterncon at the white house [\mchlus: with the presideat and talk. fug over the approaching campaign, and in the day Mr. Reid called upon the c: officers and scme friends in the sénate. He was very cordnlly raceivod evorywhere. Mr. Reld is about five feet eleven in height but quite siender, weighing probably i40 pmmfl;, His face is thin, yot Lt always car- ries a pleasant smile. His eyes areé light bluo or gray sud his heavy mustache and im- ~ perial, as “vell as his heavy suite of Lair, are twvo-thirds gray. He is a little stooped, his voice is musical, but not strong, owing'toa sught throat affection. He was today at- tired in a steel gray cutaway with a white suilor straw hat, In conversation Mr. Reid is exceodingly happs; always quick and bright. He has an unlimited fund of information upon all sub- Jocts, having been nn associate of public men and havitue of public places for more than a scorc and a half of years. Heisa little up- ward of 50 years of age and yet he does not look it. Tiiere is 1o risk in’ saying that he will prove a very capadlo and satisfactory presiding officer in the senate, He is emi nently fairin his views and acts, yet ho is a man of positive convictions. Personally no more agreeablo man could be found. He has always been a favorite with those who have labored around the ereat printing office of the New York Tribune, where he learned the printer’s trade and served atine printer's case with Horace Greeley. Honored the Printers. 1t is certainly a great honor to the printer's profession and the art of priuting itself that 8 typesettor should be called to the vice presidency of tho United States. It is not 1v. Ieid's intention to go upon the platform iu the upproaching campaign for tho extent of making 8 regular series of campaign speeches, and yet being a clover off-hand speaker he will'make many short addressos and impromptu efforts. Thezo are few men 80 well posted in the country’s history and the issues which wili be dragged into the oampaign . President Harrison will hkely attend the reunion of nis old regiment in Indiana iu "October and bis appearance upon the road and in bis native state will undountedly call forth u number of short speoches. Deyond this and probably a number of responses at public gatherings other than political, and the usual respouses to cailing delegation tho president will not entec into the active port of the speech-making campaign, Mauy o Investigat "There are intimations thet some question- avlo transactions way ve taking place in the sottloment of the claims of the friendly Sioux for the losses they sustained in the lute Sioux war.

AS' Approptiation Bills Will Reccive the Most Attention This Week. Wasaixarox, D, C., June 20.—This week's work in congress is shrouded in uncertainty. Much depends upon responses to urgent telograms sont out, demanding, rather than asking, the return of absent moambars to their posts of duty. Not a single regular an- nualappropriation bill has yot becomo a law, although the fiscal year will expire Thurs- day, and resort must them be had to the ex- pedient of extending the appropristions by joint resolutions to provent a total stoppagoe of the machinory of government. In tbe senate the agricultural bill has been practically completed and a tormal vote will probably be taken tomorrow on the single amondment romainiug unactod on—one ro- Iating to the monthly crop reports of the Agricultural department, Probably the legislativo bill will follow in regular order. it is to bo reported Monday from the com- mitteo on appropriation The pension and postofice appropriation’ bills are ready on the senate calendur and awalt action, and the first named will doubt- less bo sent to conference within a day or two., Meanwhile the conference commit- tees will bo ready for action and it 18 ex- pected that the District of Columbia, the diplomatic and consular afid probably the naval appropriation hills will be agreed upon in conference bofore the ena of the week. “The anti-option bill may also cut somo figuro in the proceedings if it emorges from the judicisty committec as is gencrally expocted. The general deficiency bill s the unfinished vusiness, tho yveas and nays baving been or- dered on its final passage. 1fa quorum ap- pears it will be passed Monday and the Dis- trict of Columbia bill be then in order. Reports on the six appropriation bills 1n tho conference have the right of way and may be brought in at any time, interrupting any other pusiness. Jtis theintention of the committee on rules to designate days for the consideration of finvalid pensiou measures, for tho joint vesolution providing for the eloction of president by the pobular vote, and for bills reported by the committes on lubor, and some of thesc measures may occupy attention during the week. ‘Western Pensions, Wasmixaroy, D, C,, June 26.—|Special Telegram to Tne Ber.]—Tho following list of pensions granted is reported by Tus Ber and Examiner Bureau of Claims: Nobraska: Original—Henry H.

Southern Texas and Northern Mexico Hura Straits, Laneno, Tex., duae26.—The great drought which has prevailed in sowe portions of southwest Texas on the Itio Grande border for the last two years continues unbroken, oxcept in spots. The live stock industry on the rance has been almost annihilated, and the total failure of crops, except in the ir- rigatea districts. has resulted 1n extreme suffering among the flockmasters and poorer classe: The situation in tho state of Du- rango and parts of Cochullais extremely critical, All vegotation, with the exception of the hardy maguoy plant, is literally buracd up and there is no prospect of a crop uext scason. Tho famous Laguna county, in which i fow years ago were raised some of tho tinest cotton crops in the world, is now a desort, At Lavedo, which 1s an industrial center of considerablo importance, the wealthiest citizens have subscrived liverally toward u fund to establish lunch rooms, where the poor and suffering classes are to be fed free of oharge. 1o Durango only the prompt acvion of the government has prevented actual starvation. To provide the paor against suffering, one of tho first acts on the part of the goverment severnl months AgG when tho arought first bogan to be felt was to coniract for the im- portation of a large consignmentof corn from the United States. This was sold at low prices to the poorer classes and soon stopped the dewliugs of speculators, who were be- ginniug Lo reap @ rich harvest oy wolting @ corner on shipments and puiticg up their price to an exorbitant figure. Several hundred thousand bushels of corn buye been shipped from the United States 1to the northern states of Mexico, wost ot 1t Roing iwto Durango and Coctulla. 1f no crop: were planted 10 Durango and Cochullu this season, it is likely more sorious resuits will follow than are felt at present. It is not believed that the general gover- ment or the stato authorities will permit the continusnce of any suffering that thoy can provent, but these are remoto sections from which 1o complaint would probable ever be beard, even thoukh tho people were in the direst want. —— BLACK HILLY TIN, Otliclals ot the Harney Peak Company on Fhelr Way to th Cincaco, 1L, June 26.—Tne stockholders and ofticers of the Harney Peak Tia Mg company were at Hotel iicholieu today.

Terrible Slaughtor Among Govern Troops and Rebels in Brazil, [Copurtghted 1872 by Janss Gord v Ban Varparaiso, Chili (via Galveston, Tex.), June 26.--[By Mexican Cabie to the New York Herald—Special to Tur Ber.|—The Herald correspondent at Montevideo sends additional facts of the recent fighting at Rivera, near Sauta Apna, in the state of Mutto Grosso, Brazil, which he has roceived from eyewitnesses. 1t appears that a force of 450" insurgents attasked the 00 federal troops who wero at Rivera. Thero was a desperate fight, but witimately the rebels were repulsed, with - considerablo loss on both sides. Then Folitical Chief Escovar in turn took the offensive apd with the greater part of nis force, armed with American rifies, charged on the revolutionists, who nad only partially redovered from the ro- pulse which bad resulted from tha previous attucks. The fighting was in moany cases hand to hand and was of the most dotel mined character, Thd federals charged with great determination aud ‘cut their way en- tirely through the insurgents’ ranks. In'the midst of the fight the rebel chief, Vargas, was killed and it looked as though victory was assured for the federals. The subordinate robel officars rallied thoir men, however, sud the government Lroops were finally forced back, fighting every inch of the ground into the town, where they are now entrenched. Bducando Ossorio, a Uruguayan, who was fighting on the sido of the rebols, was among tne killed. His body was robbed of £300. Tho msurgents wear #s a badgo o red ribbon with the inscription in black Tet- ters: *Viva Julio Castilno, no quarter either sige.” It is cortain that both sides have becn guilty of acts of reat barbarity and the motto of the insurgents Is generally ob- served, ‘There seems to be littie doubt that tho whole province is in_a state of revolt.

Thomus Dixon, now under bafl, pendiag trial on a charge oflibelliug United States Commissioner Koch, preacted today in Association ball for the last tirao during tho summer months, As a preiude to his sermon he made a statement of the facts and the ofticial record of Com- missioner Koch, upon whom tho so-called libellous sontence in the roviow of May 20 wero based. Mr. Dixon said ho had nover seen Koch until ho took tho witness chair. “I had a supreme contempt for this man who is ut- terly obscurad by the hopeloss rascality of the record he has mado in office, if we are to believo the testimony of uncontradicted wit- nesses and the decisions of the juages of the supreme court.” Simply a Catspaw, “Koch,” said he, “is simply the catspaw of the quiet young man who spells the king's uglish with difficuity and is ayerse to_pub- licity of any sort—Huzhey Grant. Tam- many 18 simply trying to throttle tho fres speech of the pulpit of New York. “Koch found at last in his pal, Grady, a judge whose opiuion he was willing for ‘the public to hear. But he didw't venture into Grady's court until no ascertained by pri- vate confab what the decision would be. **When the farce at court was ended tho complaint was railroaded down 1o the dis- trict attorney.

Not suspect- ing a job, I foolishly " asked the privileze to make a statement. The foreman, however, drew o line at my evidence in jus- tification or excuse of tho allogea libel. I learnod subsequently that this foreman was Frank Higgins, a Tammany hall ‘heeler. There is thercfore uo mystery in a Tammany complaint befors & Tammany judgo being shot by lightning into the district attorney’s office and into the itching talors of a Tam- many foreman, especially when the iadict- ment was bassd ou an assault on Tammany.
