THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, MARCH 2 184 e ' rt on the bLill for t —r—tarcel SCHENING T0 SECURE FUNDS Oleveland and Carlisle Trying Hard to Replenish the Public Coffers, READY CASH IS WHAT THEY MOST NEED uining of the Seigniorage Is to Turn in Fifty Millions and Act ws ® Sop to Shver Men well, WASHINGTON BURBAU OF THE BEE, Many reports to notwith standing, it was stated officially today that the administration desired the adoption of the bill to coln the siiver seignlorage, which has been bofore the house for some days. The purpose of the administration in desir- fng thus to confiscate and sell the collateral wecurity held to redeem outstanding silver 18 two-fold; first, to get about 1,000,000 cash, which is sadly needed, and wecondly, to throw a sop to ¢ Iver advo- cates throughout the country. It Is gener- ally belleved that the bill will not pass the senato, Many of the silver men are apposed to it, because It is simply a blind intended to decelve silverites, while Senator Sherman declares it to be a steal as dishonorable as it d be to sell the grain after warehouse recelpts had been lssued against it. There s diviston of opinion as to whather the result of the last caucus on the tarift bill yesterday evening, which sent the measure back to the finance committee with very positive hints that there should be duties placed upon coal, iron ore, sugar, Tead and possibly a few other items, was a success for the kickers or the com- filttee. Both sides claimed a victory toda Bo that as it may, It 13 the understanding that a unifcrm Auty of 1 cent a pound will 4 upon sugar, 50 cents per ton upon 1l iron ore nt per pound upon a s for the ixth or clghth time has fixed another day for giving the bill to the public. He says it will make Its appearance next Tuesday morning. Under the cumstances . the committee wil simply have to capitulate to the kickers and grant their demands, all of them, or agree to none of them and fight their’ way out on the Wilson line. There appears no point for a partial compromise. DESPAIR OF WILSON'S RECOVERY. Members of the committee on ways and yuenas say Chalrman Wilson worked him- £elf Into such a low physical condition over the tarifft bill that they have but slight hopes of his recovery from his present at- ack of typhold fever in Mexico. The fever ws to have little to work upon. In the wvent of Mr. Wilson's déath, Mr. McMillin Tennessee will becomo chairman of the '8 and means committee. Bids were opened today by the supervi ing architect of the Trcasury department for heating and Yentilation apparatus for the public buildings at Cedar Rapids, Ta. The bidders were as follows: Mesner & Co., ‘edar Kapits, $5,438; Robert Clark. Peoria the contrary Peoria, Kruse any, ; Daltohn_company, Chicago, 5.744; Q. R.

Representative Meiklejohn called upon the commisssioner of Indian affairs to urge the nt of interest to the credit of the a Indians. He was assured by the com- foner that the payment would be made in e near future. He also had a consultation relative to the allotment of the Omaha Indian lands, and was advised by the bureau that the allotment would be made in the early spring. The law for this allotment was passed at the close of the Fifty-second congress. The creditors of the Short Line Bridge com- pany of Sioux City, who are now appearing under tho name of the Credit Commutation company, and are desirous of an extension of the original charter for two years, are opposirg the Meiklejohn pontoon bridge bill, which was passed In the house a short time ago, unless the bill is amended to the offect tiat the pontoon bridge will be taken out and its charter canceled when the Credit Commutation company's com- bination wagon bridge is completed and open for trafiic. ' Many of the creditors, who are now connected with the Credit Com- utation company, reside in Vermont, hence tho opposition of Senator Proctor for the pontoon structure, as it is claimed by the creditors that if this charter is granted they will be unable to secure the means with which to complete the permanent structure on account of the competition. Dietrich Beckman was today appointed ostmaster -at Wheatland, Clinton county, owa, vice Jerome Dutton, dead. MISSOURI RIVER IMPROVEMENT. “'Apeilcation has been made to the chief of engineers and Colonel Suter, president of the Missouri River commtssion, through Senator Manderson, for transmission to congress of the report of Engincer Fox, whteh shows the necessary work on the revetment of the government which has been gradually washed out on the Towa side of the Missouri river near Omaha. Engineer Fox's report estimates the cost of the repair, which has been recited by the resolution of the Omaha city council. A number of other petitions and resolutions besides those of the councils of Omaha, South Omaha and Florence have been received by the Nebraska delegation In congress. While it s not believed that a 1 appropriation to be extended on the banks of the Missouri river at Omaha can ho secured, it 8 hoped that there may be yrovision made in the genera! appropriation for improvement of the Missouri which will provide for the work in the vicinity of Omaha. A great crowd of visitors followed Mr. M. M. Bruce, the Omahan who Is here with the party of Bsquimaux, as he went about the sesssezapitol today with his Alaskan visitors, and large crowd hung around the rooms of the ommission, where he made an argument in favor of an appropriation to encourage the propagation of reindeer in Alaska. When b and his Esquimaux emerged from the com- mittee room there were so many strangers surrounding the party tha they ' could make their way out of the building. Mr. Bruce took his foreign wards to a musical entertainment at the National hotel last night, where they were the center of at- traction and sung a number of songs in thelr native tongue. MR. MOODY IS SATISFIED. Ex-Senator Gideon C. Moody of wood, 8. D., is here for a fow day nfter interests local to his section threatened by the tariff bill. The ex-senator shows age somewhat more than when he was expounding republican doctrine in the upper branch of congress, but he says he is glad to get home and info private life, and adds: “The lfe of a politician never suited me and I was glad to be out of it. No, I would not begin to swap my law practice and the atmosphere of the Black Hills for an- other term in the senate. It the capital were moved to Deadwood perhaps It might tempt me, but that would be the sole condi- tion. Deadwood, I am glad to say, is pros- poring. The country around us is gold pro- ducing and the output of the yellow metal is fncreasing In a highly satisfactory degree. Werhaps that 1s the reason we haven't many silver men in our section. nuel Green of Mitchell, §. D., an a pirant to the postmastership of his oity, s ere looking after his interests, T. J.

Representative Reyburn of Pennsylvania has a game preserve on the North Carolina coast and s famillar with the hunting grounds through which the presidential party is crulsing. Mr. Reyburn's preserve Is on Durant's island and includes 5,000 acres, upon which it is estimated there are 500 deer. Mr. Reyburn has seen eight déer at & time while out hunting. He has five bear skins, recently taken from black bears, the larger being equal in sizo to a -grizzley skin Mr. Reyburn's preserves stretch from Pim- lico sound, filled with wild fowl, fish, oysters, and, as the hunters of the locality say, “everything that has hair on he_otters 2 very abundant in the low pla Nort ward from the Reyburn preserves is Curri- tuck sound. Many club houses are owned by northern people and many club houses are there. Tho brackish water, with a thick growth of wild cele at ts game in the groatest abundance. Ducks, especially can- vass backs, cover the celery flelds; also wild ose and swan. Mr. Reyburn says he has en - line of swans two miles long flying across the waters. The young swan, called signets, are choice eating and are so shy as ke fino game. Bodies island, not far way, is a fomous place for brandt, English snipe, wild geese and all kinds of water fowl. On Roanoke island, which is another lunters' pa , Mr. J. H. Weeks of New York City has a hunting rendezvous. It is the center for hunters who seek curlew. Tt is a historic spot, also, as Ballast island, one of the group, takes its name from the ballast thrown over from Sir Walter Ral- eigh's ship when he first landed. Mr. Reyburn thinks the presidential party Is cruising along the line of lighthouses which dot these islands and make the coast resemble at night n well lighted avenue. He says the game is plenty at the present time. He has just received a consignment of wild geese from the locality where Mr. Cloveland’s party is cruising, so that if the presidential gun is to be put to good use it will have plenty of occupation, The locality is well suited also to take Mr. Cleveland ftwm business and official cares, as the stretch of North Carolina hunting grounds is said to be “thirty miles from nowhere,” and is without a steamboat landing, mail or telegraph connections. The presidential party did not try its luck at gunning this morning, but instead went on a sightseelng expedition. The first point of interest was the seine hauling at Wey- mouth point on the mainland. The fish- eries at this place are among the largest on the Atlantic coast. Taking to their gig again the party crossed Crootan sound and landed on Roanoke island, about two miles Qistant. Here conveyances were taken and the party visited some of the historical point on the island, including °Fort Ralelgh and Ballast point, where Sir Walter Raleigh landed the ballast which he brought in his little ship from England on one of his voyages to the mew world. The pres- ident also stopped for a time at the village of Maneto, thus touching civilization for the first time since leaving Washington last Sunday. C OKEE BONDS, Their Disposal to Be Made the Subject of w0 Litigation, WASHINGTON, March 1.—Efforts are being made by a representative of R. T. Wilson & Co, of New York City to obtain the approval of the secretary of the interior to the firm's contract for the sale of honds of the Cherokee nation, issued under the act of congress providing for payment for the lands of the Cherpkee outlet. The secretary of the treasury recently decided that the contract is contrary to law and to the terms of the agreement belween the United States and the Cherokee nation. To secure a reversal of this decision Is the object of gaining Secretary Smith’s approval. A protest to this contemplated action has been filed at the Interior department by the counsel of Edwin D. Chaddick, whose suit to enforce the issuance of $6,640,000 in bonds derived from the sale of the Clierokee Strip is now pending. The protest sets forth that the secretary of the Interior had already made and approved a contract with the Cherokees. This, it is cited, was final and could not be altered except by authority of congress, as it was made by virtue of an act of congress. It is also stated that the case is now in the courts for adjudication and approval of Wilson's contract by the department_would be prejudicial to the in- terests of Chaddick. The protest has been referred to Assistant Attorney Hall. National Electric Light Association WASHINGTON, March 1.—The National Electrle Light association today elected the following officers: President, M. J. Fran- o of Rutland, Vt.; first vice president, Wilmerding, Chicago; second vice D , Frederick Nicholls of Toronto. Exceutive committee: Charles B. Huntley, Buffalo; W. W. Carnes, Memphis; A. Markle, Hazleton, Pa. During the day's session B. Herrick read a paper on the “Developement of Switch- boards for Modern Central Stations.” Considerable time was consumed in the Qiscussion of a paper entitled “‘Polyphases Transmission,” by Charles F. Scott, and in the consideration of a scries of standard rules for electrical construction and operation, which were finally adopted. A brief session of the association will be held tomorrow morning to disposo of unfinished business. Why Mills Does Not Wish to Act. WASHINGTON, March 1.—The action of Senator Voorhees In withdrawing the reso- lution introduced by himselt yesterday for the temporary substitution of the name of Senator Mills for that of Senator Vance on the senate finance committee has excited some comment and glven rise to numerous rumors.

Chapman’s Appointment. INCLINED TO. THINK HE IS UNFAIR Afdavits of Features of to Impress Banking Parties Dotail Fall Interested Case but the State Board. the LINCOLN, March 1.—(Special to Tho Bee.) ~The appointment of J. H. Chapman as re celver of the Nank of Ansley has created no little dissatisfaction among the depositors of that now defunct institution. The banking board recommended the appointment of Mr Chapman with the understanding that he was ptable to a majority of the depositors ank 1s a small one, and there is but little in it for a receiver. Mr. C filed an exceptionally strong bond for 000, which was approved by the courts But after the supreme court had appointed Mr. Chapman and approved his bond some of the depositors decided to make a formal pro- test, They employed an attorney in the per- n of J. A. Harmon. The attorney filed a large number of affidavits with the supreme court setting forth their objections to Mr Chapman In their preliminary arg nt the attorneys for- the depositors say W re the paymasters of the recelver whoever he may be, and we see nelthor reason nor justice or law to prevent us from paying our money to the person whom we believe will best serve our interest, the m as any other persons would do when they are to pay for services rendered, and this regardless of what disinterested persons may think of the qualifications of other persons whom they might like to see our money go to pay. . “If it should be argued that there was sufficient assets to pay the creditors and that the expenses would come out of the stock- holders, the majority of whom, both in num bers and capital, unite with us in this re- quest, the only known interested objector being Stockholder W. F. West, who is the largest debtor to the bank and who would naturally desire a receiver who would be as lenient as possible. It is well known that there is a vast difference between a collec- tor who is anxious to serve the creditor and one who desires to favor the debtor THINK A CONSPIRACY EXISTS, The protest is as follows: W h We have been informed that J. 1. Chapman of Ansley has been appointed siver of the Bank of Ansley, now we the undersigned creditors and stockholders of said bank, believe that a conspiracy exists betwe id Chapman and some of the stockhold of sald bank (whi re the largest debtors of sald bank) to_ protect their interests both financially and other wise, and believe it is for the interest of the creditors of said bank to have sol disinterested person appointed rec We therefare pray you that said man be not appointed as receiver, and if ippointed, that his appointment be with- drawn anil some disinterested person be ap- pointed. The protest fs signed by the following stockholders, with the amount of their hold- ings included: Peter Fowlie, $8,000; B. H. Burrows, $2,000; R. E. Fowlle, $1,000; also by the following creditors: Franklin Berger, $2,100; H. H. Dewey, $500; Bradley Mrs. S. Royds, $165; ; Thomas Doberk, Peter Towlie, Chap- . R. Hare & C assignee of claims, §1,; . L. A. Hare (by C. R. Hare, father), $15; J. A. Daily, $340; Nels Lee, $163.30; I. D. Spencer, $332; John Gilleard, $400. A protest is also fled by C. F. Bentley, cashier of a bank at Grand Island which holds notes against the bank aggregating $4,600. The first afidavit is signed by H. H, Dewey, A. T. Bradley, Mrs. S. Royds and C. R. Hare. They made oath to having seen Receiver Chapman and W. F. West in con- versation with each other at various times and places in Ansley, and always in a con- fidential and mysterious and secretive man- ner and as boon companions; that it is their understanding and belief that Chapman and West have, ever since the failure of the bank, exerted every effort for the appoint- ment of Chapman as receiver, for the spe- clal purpose of protecting said West, the largest debtor of the bank, and that they understand that Chapman and West were formerly residents of the same town and old schoolmates. Another affidavit s signed by Henry Weeaklin, who states under oath that he had had a conversation with Chapman, dur- ing which the latter showed that he was very friendly toward West; that Chapman blamed Peter Fowlie for the failure of the bank, and said that he would do everything he_could to befriend West. The third afiidavit is signed by Peter Fowlie, president of the defunct bank. His aflidavit sets forth: That on the evening of the day that the bank was placed in the hands of a recelyer, W. F. West, cashier of the bank, told him that he (West) and Chapman were going to Lincoln for the purpose of having West appointed receiver and that on the following morning West and Chapman did go to Lin- coln; that upon West's return he informed affiant that he (West) learned at Lincoln that he had no chance of being appointed res ceiver; that about this time affiant learned indirectly that said Chapman was secking to be appointed receiver of the bank; that since this time West and Chapman have heen great friends and that they have often advised with each other concerning the ap- pointment of Chapman as receiver and that he believes t Chapman would exert every effort to protect West. Afflant fur. ther says that on January 26, 1894, he was informed by one E. Caves of Colman, Wis., at the office of Lowman & Rogers at Hast: ings, Neb. that Chapman had told him (Caves) that West In taking the money out of the bank had done just what Chap~ man would have done and leave the old man (meaning Peter Fowlle) to fight it out with the depositors; that Caves also informed afant_that he did not want Chapman ap- pointed receiver; that Caves is a creditor of the defunct bank to the amount of $3,000. Following the afidavits Is a petition to the supreme court asking for tho appoint. ment of Franklin Berger as recelver. Then come a number of letters from business men of Ansley, all favorable to Chapman. Thera are ten of these letters, all speaking highly of Chapman and discrediting the re. ports circulated by his enemies. After considering all the facts the mems bers of the State Banking board have agreea unanimously that no good or suficient cause had been shown why Chapman was not well qualified for the position of receiver, and no good reason why the board’s recommendation in favor of Chapman should be withdrawn. GOSSIP AT THE STATE HOUSE. Albert Bartell, the Harlan county man who was found guilty of an assault to com- mit murder and sentenced to three years imprisonment in the state penitentiary, has appealed to the supreme court for a new trial. He claims that a certified copy of the indictment had never been served upon him as required by law; that the verdict is con- trary to law; that there was misconduct on the part of the jury.
