BAS AN EYE ON NICARACUA Btate Department Determin:d to Protect Americans in Their Rights, FATHER ENGLISH'S CASE BEFORE SATOLLI Nenstor Manderson Intercedes in Behalf of Pension Claimants in the Drouth- Stricken Sectlon—Cases to e Expedited Where Possible. WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE BEE. 1407 F Street, N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 28. The State department is watching the developments of the situation in Nicaragua with jealous eyes and a firm determination that every American citizen who has in- curred the 11l will of the Nicaraguan govern- ment shall recelve Justice. Today a cable- gram was received from United States Consul Braida at Greytown stating that the pris- oners taken by the Nicaraguan troops at Blueflelds have arrived In Greytown. In- cluded in the number were two American citizens, Wilthank and Lampton, and Mr. Hateh, the British consular agent at Blue- flelds, Tho State department has been seek- ing to establish communications with United States Minister Baker at Managua, but so far withou* success, and it Is feared he may be fll. It is the dsire of the department to tnstruct Mr., Baker to look into the cir- cumstances of the arrest of these Americans and report promptly to the department. While Americans in Bluefields are warned by our government to keep out of the squab- ble between Clarence and the Nicaraguans under penalties of the Nicaraguan law, there 1s no disguising the fact that the arrests of the Amerfeans were made under ugly cond| tions, It the men have violated the local law after due warning the State department cannot consistently object to their punish- ment. But if the arrests were illegally or improperly made, and Mr. Baker is expected to report on this point, then the State de- partment will promptly and energetically act in behalf of the prisoners. The whole inci- dent was unfortunate, coming as it did at a time when the United States was putting forth its influence toward the recognition of Nicaragua's soverelgnty over the Mos- quito reservation, and It is felt here the Nicaraguans would have done wisely in tem- pering thelr victory over the Mosquitos with toleration for the foreign residents of the Teservation. Should they lose the sympathy of the United States through persecutions of her citizens and arouse the ire of Great Britain by unjust treatment of her consular representative, the situation will.be so com- plicated that an early and peaceful solution of the Mosquito situation can scarcely be ex- pected. FATHER ENGLISH'S CASE. The trouble that has arisen in the St. Cecilla Catholic church of Hastings, Neb. over the transfer of Rev. Father English, th pastor, to David City has been brought to the attention of Mgr. Satolll. The dissatis faction of the congregation over the near de parture of their pastor resulted l:st week in the appointment of a committee to appeal to Mgr. Satolli, and today the committee had an audience with the apostolic delegate. The Interview between Mgr. Satolli, his private secretiry, Dr. Papi, and the repre- sentatives of the discontented congregation occupied an hour and was held behind closed doors. The utmost secrecy was observed. The representatives of the Hastings church submitted tlieir case and protested against the arbitrary actizn of Bishop Bonscum of the Lincoln diocese. They referred to the high opinion In which Father English was held by his parishioners and asked Mgr. Satolli's intervention to revoke the order of transfer, Which takes effect September 1. It is under- Stood that at the end of the Interview the apostolio delegite promised to give the matter full cons'deration and to return a prompt decision. Mgr. Satolli refused to discuss the matter when asked about the case by a reporter of the Associated press In reply to the communication of Senator Manderson, enclosing a petition from a num- ber of residents of the drouth stricken dis tricts of Nebraska asking that their pension cases, which are now pending before the pension office, be made special, Commis- sioner of Pensions Lochren today sent the following letter to the senator: “My Dear Senator: 1 have your faovr en- closing petition signed by the state officlals nd a large number of citizens of Nebraska, tating that there are many soldiers the drouth stricken districts of that state who are [n distress on account of the loss of their crops, and asking that immediate action be taken upon their claims. It would be very difficult to assort and select such claims with the help of any data that can ba ob tained in this bureau without very great expenditure of time, but any particular cases of the character indicated to which you may cal! my attention will be expedited so far as I can cause it to be Qoae. Yours very truly, “WILLIAM LOCHREN, Commissioner." Congressmen Meiklejohn and Hainer will leave tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock for Ne- braska, feeling confident that they have well performed their part of the work in the second session of the Fifty-third congress. Frank P. Prince of Madison, a Knight of high rank, is in Washington and will remain during the encampment.

An extra census bulletin was issued glving the statistics of farms, homes and mortgages, ownership and debt in Nebraska In regard to farms the conclusion is that 27.01 per cent of the farm families hire and 72.99 per cont own the farms cultivated by them; that 51.99 per cent of the farm-own ing families own subject to incumbrance and 48.01 per cent own free of incumbrance Among 100 farm families twenty-seven hire thelr farms, thirty-elght own with {ncum- brance, and thirty-five without incumbrance. On the owned farms there ere liens amount- ing to $47,678,132, which is 32.39 per cent of thelr value, and this debt bears interest at the average rate of 8.22 per cent, making the average annual interest charge $89 to each family. Each owned and incumbered farm, on the average, is worth $2,346, and is subject (o a debt of $1,084. The corresponding facts for homes are that 66.09 per cent of the home families hire and 43.91 per cent own their own homes; that of the home-owning families 63.75 per cent cwn free of incumbrance and 36.25 per cent with ineumbran In 100 home families, on the average, fifty-six hire their homes, sixteen own with incumbrance, and twenty-eight without incumbrance. The debt on owned homes aggregates $15,218,699, or 82.19 per cont of their value, and bears interest at the average rate of 8.13 per cent, so that the annual amount of lnterest to each home averages $85. An average debt of $1,062 incumbers heme which has the sverage value cf § There are seven cities in the state in the elass of those having a population of 8,000 to 100,000, and In these cities 62.83 per cent of the home families hire and 37.17 per cent own their homes, and of the home-owning families 43.49 per cent own with incum brance and 56.51 per cent own free of in- oumbrance.

WON'T HAVE NEW Rt Senator Blanchard's Opposition Likely te L e 1ts Desired Effect. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—The senate com- mittee on rules will not sit during the recess of congress and attempt to revise the senate rules. Several times during the closing days of the present session when the senate was without a quorum Mr. Blackburn, chairman of the committee on rules, tried to have a resolution adopted authorizing the committee to consider a revision of the rules during the recess, but it has been steadily objected to by Senator Blanchard. The motive of the Louisiana senator is not concealed. He sa he does not want the rules revised so t debate may be cut off and a vote forced upon the bill repealing the sugar duty. It does not matter so much about the senate refus- | ing to sanction the meeting of the committee during the recess. A majority of the mem- bers, or even one man can draw up a new set of rules, or each member may make sug- gestions, and a report be prepared very soon after congress convenes. But the object sought would not be obtained. If a draft of the rules upon which the majority could unite was presented at the beginning of the session it is possible that a vote might be reached on the question of its adoption. It the report should come in after other busi- ness has been under way it would probably mean that no vote could be reached. The Louisiana senators will fight a change in the rules, as will the senators opposed to the re- moval of the sugar duties. Added to these are the venators who do not believe that under any circumstances shoutd there be a change In the rules which would curtall the liberty of debate, Consequently an effort to change the rules when the session begins in December probably would not meet with any suce SENT AWAY ¥ WHITE HOUSE. President Affixed a Note to the Tariff Bill Bef re it Left Him, WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—The new tarift act was sent from the white house to the State department at 9:20 this morning, where it will be carefully scanned, when it will be sent to the government printing office, where it will be printed in the form of a law. How it became an act is shown on the offi- cial records by the following statement by the president “Note—The following named bill having been presented to the president on the 15th inst., and not having been returned by him to the house of congress in which it origi- nated, within the time prescribed by the con- stitution of the United States, has become a law withoul his approval “H. R, No. 4864, An Act to Reluce Taxation to Provide Revenue for the Government and for Other Purposes.’ The work of putting the new tarift bill into eficct now devolves on the collectors of cus- toms of the several ports and on internal revenue officers, and until they meet dificult] in its administration little will remain to be done by the Treasury department, the ecircu- lars of yesterday having given instructions on the very few points requiring immediate attention. ~ The Treasury department has not yet received reports showing the rush of the last day to get whisky tax paid in advance of the increase of the rat Tues- day is always an off day as respects rep-rts of " internal revenue receipts, and today’s statement was simply a normal one, the treasury statement of ernal revenue re- ceipts being only $351,472. ONLY THE FIR TEP TAKEN. Chairman Wilson Says Tariff Reforim Wil He Perfected Later. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28—Chairman Wil son leaves today for West Virginia to be present at the congressional convention to- morrow. His renomination is conceded with- out opposition. He will address the conven- tion and his speech will be his first utter- ance outside of congress. Mr. Wilson said today: ‘“The outlook for genuine tariff re- form is very bright. We have taken the first step and that is always the hardest, and hay ing dome that much and done it perfectly will be casy to proceed to a full realization of tarift reform. Mr. Wilson was asked if he considered that the principle of tariff reform characterized the present act, even though the rates were not all that was wanted. “'Yes,” said he, “‘the principle is there, and after all the struggle has been to secure re- cognition of the principle rather than the perfection of detail. The detail must come by the irresistible force of circumstances, now that the principle is obtained. “What is there in the assertion that a re- sumption of tariff agitation next winter will bring a recurrence of business unrest?" “That is wholly unwarranted,” said Mr. Wilson. “There need be no genmeral bill reaching all business, o that leglslation will not be such as to affect commercial affairs gererally. The tarift rates will remain stable on the ry great majority of articles and it will be upon comparatively few that the perfection of details will be necessary In or- der that the tariff reform placed on the statute books shall be a consistent whole. Nenator Stewart as Co-Respondent. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—In connection with the suit filed‘by Charles L. Glasscock of this elty for absolute divorce from his wife. in which a senator whose name is not given and whose identity is not clearly shown, Is named as co-respondent. Senator Stewart has made a statement acknowledging that it probably refers to him. He describes it as a case of blackwail, and tells how he has given money to Mrs. Glasscock on pleas of poverty She came to him with five children, secking work in one of the departments. ntually he obtained proof of a conspiracy which his attorney has presented to Judge Bradley, and there is an order of the court that the ques- tion of conspiracy of collusive suit shall first be heard. Senator Stewart asserts that, not- withstanding the sworn statement of Mrs Glasscock, “last December my husband lefr me and we have not lived together since, and since May 12, I have not seen him,” all their nelghbors and friends know that they have been living together as husband and wite ever since the suit was commenced, and are 50 livieg tod, May 3o No Western Junket. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—Although the senate has authorized the committee on com- mereo to visit the Pacific coast for the pur- pose of selecting @ point for a deep water harbor it is possible that no such visit will be made. It scems (hat several members of this committee will be more or less engaged in the campaign until the November elec tions. The terms of quite a number, includ ing the chalrman of the committee, Mr. Ran som, pire next March and the legislatures which are to be elected this fall will choose their successors for six years. Under these conditions it is probable that the far western trip will not be made until after the election it it is made at all during the coming recess Alaskn. 28.—Writing from R ¢ Thriving WASHINGTON, Aug Teller Relndeer station, Alaska, under date of July 9, Dr. Sheldon Jackson, general age of the bureau of education in Alaska, says “Although last winter was more severe in this secton than for many years, yet the reindeer herd came out this spring in good condition. One hundred and fifty fawns werc born to the herd in May. After leaving the Aleutian islands we called along the Siberian coast, procuring forty-eight deer, which we safely landed at the station upon our arrival July 3" He adds that the Laps who have been imported to take charge of the reindeer had not arrived, but werc daily expected.

GRAND ISLAND, Aug. 28.— Bee)—The second day In Camp Morrow opened bright and there was just breeze enough to keep Old Glory supported, giving extra prominence to the stars and stripes. The attendance is satisfactory beyond ex- pectations and Commander Howe is confident that one of the largest reunions ever held will be the history at Camp Morrow. The old soldiers have nothing to do and are not out anything by coming. The following state organizations opened headquarters this morning and have their registration books on the table: Illinof New York, Ohio, New England, Indiana Michigan, Towa, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Minnesota, Ken- tucky, Tennessee, and the Sons of Veterans, Daughters of Veterans, Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, and Women's Reliet corps, The Young Men’s Christian tion of Grand Island has also a fine large tent for the accommodation of its members from all over the state, It is provided with literature and the daily papers and makes excellent headquarters, Comrade Masherman of Lincoln fs regis- tered in the Towa books. He is aged 82 years and is the oldest veteran here so far, as he also was the oldest soldier in the last ten reunions. The Ohio headquarters are as usual provided with buckeyes. Minnesota proudly floats a flag inseribed “First in the fleld.’ That organization has 227 members in this state and are Justly proud of their rustling ubilities in 1561 The program this morning was given over entirely to the state organizations, giving them an opportunity to get together. Bands, of which there are now four, took possession of the avenues and were liberal with new musie. Pemberlon’s unsurpassable drum corps, consisting one-half of ladies, serenaded the department h EVENING CAMP FIRE. The evening's camp fire is progressing, with 3,000 audience. It opened with a song by the Glee club, Captain Henry was intro- duced with three cheers. He has a reputi- tion that is national and a fund of bright army stories, He deplored the existence of the carping critics whose comments on the and Army were the fruit of ignorance. Some dared to ask why these reunions were still helped. It was to Instill lessons of patriotism, love and appreciation of liberty that cost so much. The ome great fact re- mained that the war resulted in a higher civilization and grander citizenship than the world had ever known. He who built his foundation for political citizenship on the ground that the old soldier was passing away built on faulty promises. The younger gen- eration of the sons of soldiers would not for- get to cherish their memory, and that task of instilling such patriotism was the duty of the Grand Army. Tom Majors was then Introduced and sald many things had happened since the last reunion. The unrest of only a few months ago and succeeding riot in Chicago hung like a cloud and Grover Cleveland did a grand act when he said: “This is no time to dis- cuss these questions, but to act and quell these anarchistic disturbances.” He was glad that the strong arm of the law also put down disturbances in South Omaha, and felt certain the action of the executive would be lauded by all men who loved liberty and re- served to every man the right to work. He deplored the anarchistic sentiment in the country and the fact that partisanship met immigrants at Castle Garden with papers giving full citizenship. He lauded the work of the Germans and Irish in the war and s2id he did not desire to decry any foreign class. He welcomed every man who took on American heart and wculd support and respect the constitution. NOTES OF THE ENCAMPMENT. Commander Howe is the first commander in the history of the Nebraska Grand Army of the Republic to be in camp ou the day before the reunion cpens. A fine silk flag floats beforc ment headquarters.

All Trae Over Sixteonth Street Viaduct to Be Temporarily Suspended The boa:d of public works has decided that it will neither be safe nor possible to con- tinue the repairing of the Sixteenth street viaduct without shutting off travel over the structure, and instructions to that effect will be issucd today or tomorrow. The swaying of the structure under the weight of trafic is o noticeable that it will b impossibe to put in the braces and other timbers unless sagging is removed, and the general condition of the viaduct is such that it Is believed that the only safe course will be to suspend travel until it is put in a safe condition. The street railway company will be di- rected to stop running trains over the struc- ture immediately. The South Omaha trains will turn east at Fourte:nth and Howard streets, follow the Thirteenth street tracks from Howard to Vinton and then return to the South Omaha tracks at Sixteenth and Vinton. The rails and trolley wires are ready in place, and the only work to be done in order to put the new route in shape is the placing of a switch at Thirteenth and How- ard strects on which to transfer to the Thirteenth street tracks. The change will probably be made about the last of the week As nearly as the contractors can judge, th> repairs on the viaduct will occupy nearly two months and it is not likely that the traffic over the structure will be resumed for fully six week: ——— Explosion at an Electric Light Plant.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 28.—(Special to The Bee)—When Governor Crounse went into office he revived the old statute requiring the superintendents of the various state in- stitutions to make a semi-annual report. The reports for the first half of the present year have been received and make an ad- mirable showing. In the nine institutions thero are 1,800 inmates, and the complled report shows that these have been cared for by a saving of §42,000 over that of the first halt of the year 1892, At the Asylum for the Incurable Insane, located at Hastings, of which G. W. Johnson Is superintendent, the report shows that for the first half of 1 the cost per capita was $131, and the seccnd $138; for the first half of 1893 tho cost per cepita was $100 and for 1894, $76.49. At the Soldiers Home of Grand Island the cost per capita for the first half of 1892 was $168.23, and for the same time in 1894 it was $112.64. The Asylum for the Insane at Lincoln, ac- cording to the report of Superintendent Hay, has been mansged at a decrease of §25.81 per capita during the first six months of this year, compared with the corresponding time in 1892, The Norfolk asylum has been run at a saving of $2,081 per individual during the sama time. The state military boird, composed of Brigadier General Colby, Adjutant General Doyle, Colonel Bratt, Colonel Bills and Gov- ernor Crounse, was in session this afternoon considering the protest of Captain Scharff of the Thurston Rifles sgainst awarding the governor's cup to the Omaha Guards. Major Reed, Captain Scharff and Captain Culver of Milford were also present. Captain Scharft concluded to gracefully withdraw. His protest will be pigeon-holed and the cup will remain with the Guards. It was quite evident to the members of the board that the South Omaha expense: could not be met, as absut all the money ap- propriated by the legislature had been ex- pended, and unless the state legislature sees fit to audit the accounts the soldiers will not receive pay for services rendered during the strike. Members of the board express their regret at this, gs they think in case of an- other incident of this kind the boys would not_respond o promptly. The commitment for George Washington Davis was made out by the county judge yesterday afternoon and handed to the sheriff, and Davis Is now confined in _the county jaii awaiting the opening of the September term of the district court. Judge Hall's writ of habeas corpus was therefore unnecessary and there is mow no fear of the prisoner being releasd on a technicality An extradition warrant for Charles Bovia, want:d at Harrison county, lowa, for burg- lary was honored by the governor today. He is now under arrest at Blair. A warrant of like nature for A. G. McGurgan, wanted in Page county, lowa, for obtaining property under false pritenses, and now in custody at Nebraska City, was also honored. An order compelling Wiliiam Hall to pay over to his wife the sum of $300 was Issued today by the county judge. Mrs. Hall had secured a judgm. . against him some time ago, but he skipped to Omaha, having in his possession the above named sum, which, on being brought back, he said he had lost in a bathroom of an Omaha hotel. It seems that this story was not believed by the court, but it 18 doubtful it he can now comply with the order of the judge. There will be a special meeting of the Lincoln Labor club tonight for the purpose of alding a couple of local leaders who aspire to political honors in the construction of thelr tences. It se:ms that the unlon at the last meeting denounced Mayor Welr ina resolution which was rail- roaded through for his indifference to the cause of labor, and the influence of the afore- mentioned official is considered necessary for ]n.- well being of the candidates e - Oregon Kidney Tea cures backache, { stze, 25 cents.
