T R NEBRASKA CASES HUNG UP Bickness of Commissioner Veazoy Delays Ac- tion on Freight Rate Complaints, SECOND INFANTRY LIKELY TO REMAIN Instructions Isssued for the Appraisal of Abandoned Military Rexers vations by the Department. WASHINGTON, Aug. prospects for an early d rate cases, of interest to the state of Ne- braska, now pending before the Interstate Commerce commisison, are not very bright Ot the two commissioners who heard these cases Colonel Morrison of Tllinois is the only member who 1s now on duty. Judge Veazey, the other commissioner who was present, is now quite ill, and it is not ex- pected that he will be sufficlently recovered to resume his duties very soon. Owing to the absence of Commission Veaz the consideration of the Nebraska cases cannot be taken up, and it is probable that nothing will be done in these mafters until the re- turn of that officlal, as they cannot be con- sidered by Colonel Morrison alone. Encour- aging progress has been made in the prepara- tion of the typewritten copy of the te mony taken at the hearings, and it is ex- pected that everything will be in readiness for consideration by the commissioners as 800n as they are assembled for duty in the office here, A prominent official in the office of the commission today said to The Bee corre- spondent: “The cases in which Omaha and that locality are most interested are the three begun on complaint of Mr. Gustin, which are known as the Kearney cases, and which involve roads to Kearney from east, west and south. These are of importance to Omaha because one of the qnestions 1s as to what should be the relative rate be- tween Kearney and Omaha and nther Mis- sourl river points. Another case Is that of the Commercial club of Omaha against the roads carrying from the'east to Council Blufts and Omaha, which is called the bridge case, and which Involves the _question whether Omaha and Council Bluffs are to have the same rates both ways—east and west. Another case is that of the Com- merclal club against the sundry roads carry- ing from Texas and southern points and involyes the question of stop-off of cat- tle at the respective stock yards. This s really a controversy between the siook yards of Omaha and Kansas City respectively.” SCHOOL BOOK CONTRACT AWARDED. The contracts for furnishing schonl books for use in Indian schools during the present fiscal year, bids for which were opened in New York City on August 1, have all been awarded by the Indian bureau. The list of books embraces music books, readers, manuals for teachers and spellers. There were also a large assortment of miscel- laneous supplies bid for, such as maps, globes of the world, iuk wells, call bells, slates and pencils. Rand, McNally & Co. of Chicago secured nearly every one of the coniracts for furnishing maps, and the larger part of the contracts for school books and miscel- laneous supplies went to eastern bidders, a Baltimore publisher recelving the larger por- tion of them. Officlals of the War department are watch- ing with renewed interest the progress of the work of construction at Fort Crook It is said here that the work will have been completed so as to permit the reception o troops by the 15th of next September. The general impression among army officers here is that as soon as the new post is completed the efght companies of the Second infantry now at Fort Omaha will be transferred to Fort Crook instead of transferring them to some distant station and ordering other troops to KFort Crook. It Is believed here that it the old troops are retained the wishes of the people of Omaha, as well as of the soldiers themselves, will be better gratified than it Fort Crook were made th~ headquarters of another regiment. APPRAISING RESERVATION LANDS. The commissioner of the general land office has prepared a letter of Instruction to be is- sued In connection with the appraisements of abandoned military reservations. This let- ter {s addressed to Edward L. Merritt of Springfield, 111, who has just been appointed an appraiser of abandoned military reserva- tions, It states that the general land office will furnish the appraiser with a list of the reservations and the order in which they are to be appraised. It continues: “Upon reach- ing the vicinity of each reservation you will select two competent and reliable persons re- siding near the reservation and thereupon in- form this office of the names and postoffice addresses of the persons selected by you. Upon receipt of notice of their appointment you will have the appointees take the oath of office and forward the affidavits to the gen- eral land office. You will in no case proceed with the appraisal of any reservation until you shall have been advised of the appoint- ment of your assistants and until they have taken the oath of office. “Where bulldings are to be appraised you will first number each structure plainly with paint and make the appraisal independent of the land upon which they are situated, being governed by the fact that the buildings are to be sold subject to removal by purchasers within such time as may be prescribed. The land in each reservation must be appraised by the smallest legal subdivision. A blank will be furnished and a description of each legal subdivision to be appraised, with suit- abie columns in which to insert the value of the land, the nature and the condition of the improvements and the character of the land and remarks. “After the appraisal of any reservation has been completed you will date and sign the list of appraisals in duplicate, certifying as to the correctness of your work, and transmit the duplicate to the local land office in whoso district the reservation Is situated for their guldance when the lands and buildings are to be disposed of, and you will forward the original list to this office with a brief report of your proceadings.” This letter of instruction bears significance in that it will apply to nearly all the aban- doned military reservations which shall be appraised for ‘the purpose of disposal in the future. The appraiser’s compensation is to be at the rate of $8 for each day employed, to- gether with traveling expenses, and his two assistants are to receive $4 cach per day. 17.—(8pecial.)—The ision in the freight SUIT TO S ¥ T A AND GRANT. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—J. 8. McCue of San Francisco has made application to the attorney general requesting that suit be in- stituted by the government to vacate the patent issued for the Corte Maquera land grant. The patent to this grant, which now in- cludes Point Tibnon, the terminus of the San Franclsco & Northern Pacific railroad, the surbuban town’ “Belvidere” and other valusble property, was issued by Secreiary Teller during the last part of President Arthur's administration. ~ Subsequently suit was brought to set it aside on the ground of fraud, but later on the suit was discontinued. Acting Attorney General Whitney has re- ferred the request to United States Attorney Foote, with Instructions to investigate the matter. The officials who have made some examination of the matter express the opinion that fraud was used in procuring the patent, but it is asserted that all or nearly all of the lands involved probably have passed lnto the hands of boua fide purchasers without notice and hence they cannot be deprived of their holding, although obtained from the govern- ment by fraud.

OUTRIVALS GUY FAWK Scotland Yard Detcetives Excited Over an Alleged Anarchistic Plot. (Copyrighted 1895, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, Aug. 17.—Ever since November 4, 1605, when a certain Guy Fawkes and others engineered such a scheme but were detected and hanged, the possibility of a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament has been one of the pet scares of the Brit- ish officlals, and regularly thereafter each year the vaults of the Houses of Parliament previous to the reassembling of that body are formally searched for powder barrels with great ceremony and minuteness. This year there was some little show of cause for the apparently unnecessary precautions, for with the opening of Parliament comes the discovery, real or imaginary, of a scheme to send the commoners and lords unexpectedly skyward in a body. Whether the story be true or not the afternoon papers yesterday made quite a sensation out of the affair and the inhabi- tants of this great metropolis have not done talking about it. Simmered down to cold facts, it appears that there was some founda- tion for the report and it rested upon the following basis of facts: Some weeks ago the manager of a local printing and litho graphing company was asked by a foreigner described as “‘dark looking and mysterious™ (of course) to lithograph a weekly paper for a Turkish company. As no knowledge of the Turkish language was necessary for the Job the manager of the English concern u Uertcok the contract and lithographed tho sands of coples of the Turkish weekly, the paper being mostly sent abroad. A few days ago, however, two detective sergeants from Scotland Yard called at the lithographing establishment and asked to see the manager. The latter appeared, all smiles, scenting some new business, but his jaw fell and he turned very white when asked if he was aware that he was suspected of being implicated in a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament, and that his visitors halled from Scotland Yard. In reply to the unfortunate manager's protest of ifinocence, the detectives explained that he had been printing in the guileless looking Turkish weekly red hot anarchist literature calling upon soclalists and others to combine for the pMPpose of blowing up the Houses of Parliament upon the occasion of the opening session. One article actually stated that six- teen men were already on their way to Eng- land to make the necessary arrangements for sending the members of Parliament and the peers of the realm skyward. In spite of his protests the terrified man- ager was escorted to Scotland Yard by the detectives, where he was confronted and examined by tho chief of detectlves and a police commissioner. To these officials the thoroughly frightened manager explained all the circumstances of the case, gave a full description of the ‘“dark and mysterious looking” foreigner and established his inno- cence of any complicity in the treasonable publication and went on his way much re- lived upon promising not to lithograph any more Turkish weeklies without first ascer- taining the nature of their contents. According to the Globe the police first got wind of the affair owing to the boastings of some London anarchists. — But the story of this latest “‘gunpowder plot” is far from being as thrilling as it might have been and there s a strong suspicion in more than one quarter that the Scotland Yard authori- tles have unearthed a mare's nest of the rankest description. e DEADWOOD'S TOURNEY AT AN HIMSELF. END. Very Successful Contest of Local Fire. men Brought to a Close. DEADWOOD, 8. D., Aug. 17.—(Speclal Telegram)—Today closed the firemen's tournament, gotten up by the citizens and firemen of Deadwood upon the withdrawal of the local team from the tournament at Rapld City, over $500 being collected for purses. All the big purses were won by the home team. The events of today were: Hub and hub juvenile hose race, between the McDonald Hose company of Deadwood and Hose company No. 1 of Sturgis, purse 5, won by the McDonalds. Hub and hub race, between the Home- stakes of Deadwood and Central City, for a purse of $100, won by the former. The event which created the gréatest en- thusiasm was the rock drilling contest, wkhich was altogether between miners work- ing in the vicinity of Dead vood, for purses aggregating $20. Two miners’ of Terra- ville, May and Odgers, drilled twenty-elght and three-sixteenths Inches In fifteen min- utes, winning first money and breaking all records. Murrish and Henney and Fol and Stewart of Lead City were awarded sccond and third prizes respectively, both teams drilling twenty-five and five-six- teenths inches in the fifteen minutes. Great excitement prevailed throughout the drilling contest, and the big, burly miner were heartily cheered In their efforts, Professionnls Failed to Draw. MANHATTAN BEACH, Aug. 17.—The first professional meet under the auspices of the National Cycle and Athletic club was brought off this afternoon at the new track here. It was held under the rules and sanction of the L. A, W. That an all- professional meet is not popular with the public was demonstrated by the attendance —-not more than 1,000 people. The racing was very good and the program was an at- tractive” one. A good many of the crack eyclists from all over the country had tered for the several events, and there were comparatively few scratchés. Owing to a strong wind directly in the faces of the riders at the finish, record break {K was out of the question. The feature of the day was the quad race at one mile.

DECISIVE RACES TO COME THIS WEEK Will Ie Sa t Governing the « t and i Allowances Are to Be ken Into Acco NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—As the first of the formal trials between Defender and Vigilant will take place Tuesday next, a glance at the work that the champlons have done up to date will not be amiss. In fact, it will be especially interesting to all Americans, for it will show how the new boat, on whose worth we probably shall depend to retain the great- est of all yachting emblems—the America’s has been improving in form right along ! The mesting between Valkyrie III and De- fender will bo the closest contest ever held for the trophy of trophles. | Now take the first two races that Defender and Vigllant had. They were held, respect- ively, on July 20 and 22, starting from Scot- land lightship, outside of Sandy Hook, In the same water and over the same Kind of courses as the cup races will take place in. The fol- lowing table gives the time, the Defender always coming in first: To winward and return, thirty miles, won by two minutes forty-five seconds, Triangular course, thirty miles, won by nine minutes seventen seconds. Her in- creased lead dt the close of the second race is accounted for by the fact that the wind suited her better than it did there was more beating and reaching on that a; What the yachts did In their next series of meetings, which occurred during the an- nual cruise of the New York Yacht club to the eastward, Is shown in the table below: Glen Cove to Huntington, twenty-one miles, won by one minute forty-nine seconds. Huntington to New London, sixty-four miles, did not finish, New London to Newport, twelve minutes two seconds. Block Island course, thirty-eight miles, id_not finish, Newport to Vineyard Haven, thirty-seven and one-fourth miles, six minutes twenty- four seconds, Vineyard Haven to Newport, thirty-seven and one-fourth miles, nine minutes nine sec- onds, Triangular course, off Newport, twenty-one miles—six minutes, ten seconds. It will be seen that the third time the champlons met Defender had another close call, winning by only one minute forty-nine seconds. Next came the long run of sixty- four miles from Huntington to New London in a stift wind, though not strong enough to compel the taking in of club topsails. The wind was well over the starboard quarter all the way. Defender was more than (wo min- utes ahead when her steering gear went wrong and she had to give up, not far from New London. On the following day, when the flect had a free run from New London to Newport, Defender came in away ahead, TWO DECISIVE RACES, Over the Block Island course, off Newport, Defender had a comfortable lead—seven miles from home, her gaff broke and Vigilant won the coveted Goelet cup for single stickers The two races which followed were reaily the decisive contekts of the cruise, and it was not until the first of these, the run from Newport to Vineyard Haven, that Mr. Wil- lard of the Vigilant would admit that De- fender was a better boat than his. On the voyage Defender won by six minutes twenty- five seconds, and on the return over the same courso showed her constantly increasing su- periority by coming in nine minutes twenty seconds amead. The last day of all, when the yachts met over a short triangular course of seven miles to the leg, the finkeel boat did better than ever. She' beat the center boarder by five minutes elghteen seconds on the dead beat to windward in the first seven miles and put one minute and twenty-two seconds more be- tween them on the reach to the second mark. On the run home Vigilant set her spinnaker, when she had covered half the seven miles and it drew very well. Yet she only over- hauled Defender, which did not hang out her spinnaker at all, three seconds. The figures In this last race are especially interesting in showing what Defender can do in beating and running, as the two forms of safling In which Valkyrie I1L is at her best, The two, or possibly three, races which will be held this week, will prove more conclu- sively than any meeting the yachts have yet had, the true difference between the boats, When they come together on Tuesday next they will ‘be more highly keyed and faster afoot than at any time during thelr races. The order of the America’s Cup committee, which orders the races, reads: “The Ameri- ca’s Cp committee announces that the trial races will be sailed off Sandy Hook on August 20 and 22, and in case a third race is deemed advisable, on August 24. The committee will require the measurement of competing yachts taken with as many persons on board as will be carried in the trial races. The regatta committee have kindly consented to handle these races and will issue the necessary sail- ing directions. The cup committee reserve the right to recall the yachts at any time, to restart any race, or to alter the length and direction of the course, as they may deem ad- visable. Measurements must be sent to the America’s cup committee at the New York Yact club by August 15. The new rule which the committee has adopted In the matter of recalling the yachts at any time they see fit is universally consid- ered to be an excellent one. forty miles, rR FOR HOT BOYS., Hastings Athletl lub Arranges for an Interesting Bieyele Race.

Waldner and Slocum have been winning great success in the last few weeks in Chi- cago.

Over 1,000 people assembled at the Charles Street Bicycle park last evening to witness the fifty-mile sweepstakes r between Ned' Reading, the old vet of the path, Les- ter Holton and Rabbl Clarke. The race was for $25 a corner and a per cent of the gate, the winner to take all, and the lucky man was Holton, While the race was n good one, it was weary and monotonous, as all long distance cycle races must ne ily Le. There was scarcely any sp the journey being a procession cl the “finale, when there was sor hustiing for the glory and col tunately for the Rabbi, he punctured a in the forty-eighth mile, and this al put him out of the race, Until this mishap the betting was even that he would win the race. Reading did not come up to ex- pectations, but his trainer, Major Jack Kin- neman, who, by the way, 18 one of the best handlers in the country,’ sald this was due to the old vet's unfamiliarity with the track On a_dirt_road, Major Jack declared, Ned can give Holton cards ‘and spades and a few shovels and beat him out. Al of which makes Lester laugh sonorously. The final spurt last night was a thrilling one. The soldier bent every nerve, sinew and musclo to the task, but the atténuated Holton was too many for him, and he shot over the tape with a lead of fully a ¢ rds, with the Rabbi pumping har ppily forty more behind. = The ; wiis made in exactly two hours and Prior to the premier event H: E.

CLEVELAND, county Aug. 17.—The democratlo convention to select delegates to the convention to be held next Tuesday and Wednesday at Springfield was called to order at 10 o'clock this morning. After a hot fight Alfred Whittaker was elocted chairs man over James Lawrence by a vote of 227} to 189%. The selection of Whittaker as chalrman was a decided victory for the free silver and anti-Brice faction. A motion by & free silver delegate to appoint a committee of ven to select delegates to the state conven= tion caused a row that for a time threatened to result in more than a war of words. Tha fight resulted in a number ot the gold and Brico men, headed by James Lawrence, retiring from the hall with the announcement that they would at once hold a “rump” couvention. After their withdrawal the motion to select a com= mittee of seven to select delegates to the | state convention prevailed. This commitiee as selected was composed entirely of fres silver and antl-Brice men. The seceders, to the number of about seventy-five, at onca went to another hall, organized and elected fitty-nine delegates to the state convention. Resolutions were adopted condemning tho methods pursued by the so-called regular conventlon, and after giving (hree rousing cheers for Senator Brice, adjourned. Resolutions were passed by the regular convention opposing Calyin S. Brice as United States senator and favoring the fres coinage of silver.

The game yesterday afternoon, which was played by a combination of I Omaha soldiers and members of the ¢ City club on the one side and the Omaha Cricket-elub on the other, resulted in a win for the former by one run. While it must be admitted that the ground at the fort was erratic, as some of the umplre’'s decisions, nothing can palliate the outrageous fielding of the Omahas. For the Fort Omahas, Allen and Shep- herd made the best scores, although {he latter should have been relegated to obliv- fon before he had made a single run. He insisted on putting the ball {nto Doyle's hands at slip, which that fndividunl refused to_accept under any consideration.
