WasHINGTON. Receiver Kent den ot al National bank at Lincoln arrived in Washington last night and spent some hours with the chief of the division in the ofice of the comptroller of the currency, who charge of the accounts of liquidated banks. M. Hayden is stopping while in the city with some friends at a private residence. He will renmin here until Tuesday or Wednesday night, when he returns to Ne t Comptroller Fekels, in reply questions by Tug Bre correspondent as to the settlement of cortain accounts which the state treasurer of Nebraska had with the Capl National at the time the lat closed, stated that no conclusion haa yet been reached. Mr. Kckels said his office and he believed the receiver were yet un decided as to the person or oficial to whom the receiver should pay the apportionment now on hand of the amount due the state of Nebraska at the time the bank failed. 1tap- pears that when the bank suspended its books showed it to be indebted to the state treas: urer in thesum of £56,361, while the treas- urer’s books showed the bank to be in- debted to the state nbout §200.000. There has been some Sort of reconciliation of the accounts, however.

Bloomington to ud Chadron to Alliance, as fixed in amation of Septomber 1 last. Both the sccretary of the interior and the com- wissfoner of the general land ofiice gave me to understand that they did not contemplate any change in these consolidations and I suppose the ight over the Chadron problem will be a failure, Incidentally Mr. Meiklejohn talked to the secrotary of tho iaterior and the commis- sioner of the land ofice about changes in the Nebraska land ofice. He was given to understand that with probably one_excep- tion all efticient oMcers will be permitted to serve out their commissions. The exeeption is in the North Platte oftice, whero, it will remembered, when Registor Nesbitt was pacitated, Receiver Baldwin was mado registor and Mr, Woodhurst was appoitited receiver on Febr y 11, 1892, hese Lwo officers, it was stated, will be shortly re- tived and democrats put in therr places.

An argument has been provoked by au- thority of the ways and weans committee, showing from a democratic standpoint the necessity of the changes offected by the new admipistrative bill just reported fu Chair- man Wilson and his colleagues. This urgu- ment gives a full explanation of the reasons why the committes in its recent tariff bill abandoned the specific duty in so many cases in favor of an ad valorem duty, ‘The democratic party, this circular con- tends, is charged with ‘grave responsibility of effecting a complete révision of the exist- fug customs tariff, 0 the end that the burdens of taxation, rendered heavier by the McKinley bill, may be lightened. The MeKinloy bill was not the only legislation of the Fifiy-first congress which vaused dis sutisfaction among merchants aud importe The passage of the customs administra- tive act, involviug as it did an entirely new departure iu customs administration, caused in the mercautile world, temporarily AL least, as great or greater auuoyauce than did even the McKinley bill.
