WASHINGTON, June 27.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Commissioner Hermann of the general land office stated today that he had not heard from Patrick Mullen of Oma! recently appointed recelver of the land ment early in May. Mr. Mullen, who h held the position of register of the land office at Rampart Clty, was expected to qualify and enter upon his duties at Juneau on June 1. This, however, was im- possible, In view of the long distance he bad to travel to his new post. Mr. Her- mann thought, however, that sufficient time had elapsed to receive a letter from Mr. Mullen stating when he would be able to assume the duties of his office at Junesu. It is thought by the commissioner that Mullen may have gome to Nome, in which event it will be still longer before &ny definite news is heard of Mullen Mr. E. Rosewatar arrived in Washington this morning from New York. He saw Postmaster General Payne today in behalf of the letter carriers, who are greatly in- terested in having their salaries adjusted, and will present a delegation of postal em- ployes to the postmaster gemeral tomor- row. Later in the day Mr. Rosewater called upon Speaker Henderson and in the course of a conversation the speaker said “We are looking to Nebraska to give the republican party an increased representa- tion in the lower house over what it mow has." To this Mr. Rosewater replied “1 believe I can confidently predict five republican congressmen from Nebraska in the Fifty-eighth congress, an increase of three.” “Now I can go home happy,” replied the speaker as the two gentlemen clasped hands. Pension for Vanm Hout The bill granting a pension to Captain Clayton P. Van Houten of Cantonm, 8. D., has gone to the president for his signa- ture. The South Dakota delegation has been greatly interested in this case. Van | Houten went to the Philippines as captain in the First South Dakota regiment. He was strong and ablebodied when he went, out, but returned broken in health and is ence from him. A fight ensued, in which | the officer appears to have got the worst of it. He finally pulled a gun and struck | Francke three timee on the head, knocking him down. He then called for help and | started to take him to jail. When about two blocks from the garden Francke's strength gave out and he fell to the ground. He was then turned over to his friends, who called a back and had him taken to a hotel. A physician was called and dressed the wounds for the injured | man. He was only semi-conscious during the night and at times he was attacked by severe convulsions. Today he is resting easier and it is thought that he will come around all right. Had the officer known that the men were but fooling, or had they known that he w an officer, the trouble would have been avolded. Francke's father was telegraphed for and will probably be here tonight. FIRE TAKES BOYS’ DORMITORY ¥ ¥y Hall at Bellevue College in Entirely Destroyed by Fire. BELLEVUE, Neb., June 27.—(Special.)~ Finlay hall, a three-story frame building, used as a boys' dormitory at the Bellevue college, was totally destroyed by fire this morning. The bullding was being repaired to be ready for the reception of students next fall, the fire being discovered by some men who were shingling the roof. It was then confined to the attie, but with the limited facilities for fighting fire, the men ‘were unable to extingulsh the blaze. Just how it started no one seems to know. Some of the men had been in the attic, where the blaze originated, just a short time before, but say they had niether light nor matches acd spontaneous combustion or rats and matches is the most probable theory. The planos and most of the furniture in the building were removed and Lawrie hall, which stands near the burned struc- ture, was saved by bard work. The build- ing was insured for 35,000, and the loss is somewhat in excess of that figure. Finlay hall was one of the oldest bufld- ings in the college group, and was named after Colonel Finlay of Kittaning, Pa., & patron of the college. Public Library for McCook.

SMITH OF IOWA OPENS THE DEBATE Much Unanimo in House i o Blocked by Mr. Moon ee, Who Makes —The house tod sideration of the contested elec- of Horton againet Butler, from the Twelfth Missouri district. In this case the majority of the committee found that as to make it invalld and recommended that the seat be declared vacant. The minority recommended that Mr. Butler, the sitting member, had been legally seated, and that he retain his seat. Three hours debate on & side were allowed The speakers today were Messrs. Smith of Towa and Bartholdt of Missourl, in faver of the majority, and Mr. Bowie of Alabama in favor of the minority report. The vote will be taken tomorrow. Some odds and ends were cleared up dur- | ing the early portion of the session. Re- quests for unanimous consent, for which there is always a great demand during the closing days of a session were sud- denly blocked today by Mr. Moon of Ten- nessee, who told his friends that he would object to all such requests untll he was recognized to ask consideration of the bill to give the Indlan Territory a territorial form of government. The house disagreed to the senate amend- ments to the general deficiency appropria- tion bill and sent the bill to conference Mr. Alexander of New York asked if a separate vote would be allowed on the Buffalo exposition bill. Mr. Cannon replied that he had no power to prevent a vote, and if the senate was in earnest in insisting on the exposition amendments he had no doubt the house would be called upon to act. He said, personally, he would oppose the acceptance of those amendments. Messrs. Cannon of Illinols, Barney of Wisconsin and Livingston of Georgia were A resolution was adopted calling on the | secretary of war for information as to the | number of appointments to the army eince April 1, 1898, together with the num- ber of officers who have been retired within one year of their promotion, and the addi- tional cost of such retirement at the higher grade. The senate’s request for a conference on the Philippine civil government bill was | agreed to, and Messrs. Cooper of Wisconsin, Payne of New York, Crumpacker of Indlana, Jones of Virginia and Maddox of Georgia were appointed conferees. Moon Blocks Legislation. Halt a dozen requests for unanimous consent met with objection from Mr. Moon of Tennessee, who announced quietly to his | triends that as long as he was a member of the house he intended to object to every request for unanimous consent until he was given recognition to move the pas- sage of the bill giving a territorial form of government to the Indian territory. He thus blocked the fond hopes of many mem- bers and they crowded about and appealed to him not to stand ‘n the way of pet measures. A bill was paseed to amend the revenue laws 8o as to place perique tobacco on & similar footing with other tobaccos regard- ing packages. Mr. Taylor of Ohlo then ealled up the contested election case of Horton agalnst Butler, from the Twelfth Missour! district. in which the majority reported that there was no valid election and in taver of de- claring the seat vacant. Mr. Richardson raised the question of consideration against the case and stated, despite the speaker's ruling, that the mo- tion was not debatable, that Mr. Butler, the contestee, who is a democrat, was sick in bed. He appealed to the other side to vote against considering the election case in the interest of pension legislation. On a rising vote the house decided to con- sider the case, 114 to 88. The ayes and nays were demanded The house voted 142 to 111 to consider the resolution. No agreement was made for a final vote. Mr. Smith of Towa opened the debate on behalf of the majority report to declare the seat vacant After reciting the conditions of the elec- tion Mr. Smith asserted that to allow such ar election to stand would be to serve no- tice on the people of St. Louis that their efforts to purify the ballot box are futile. At the conclusion of Mr. Smith's remarks it was agreed that debate on the case should continue for six hours. Mr. Bowle of Alabama then opened in behalf of the contention of the minority of the commit- tee that Mr. Butler, the sitting member, was elected and entitled to retain his seat He declared that there was no competent evidence in the record which remotely tended to invalidate a sufficient number of votes to make Mr. Butler's majorily even doubtful. Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri, the last speaker today, supported the majority report Without completing his speech he yielded | the floor and at 5:15 p. m. the house ad- fcurned. e White House, Cabinet Meets Out WASHINGTON, June 27.—For the firs! time in eighty-eight years a regular ses- slon of the cabinet was held today outside | BEATRICE, Neb., June 27.—(Special Tele- gram.)—This section was visited by a rain- | fall of 0.53 inch this morning.
