LONG POSTOFFICE CONTEST ENDS Andrew Richmond at Orleans, Whe ¥as ¥Weld Over for Three Years, Finally Lands for a New Term. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, April 2.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—8peculation was rife today over the extent of the rule which it is under- #tood will be reported on Monday from the committes on rules of the houss pro- viding for a record vote on several of the schedules in controversy in the Payne tar- ¢ bill and the time when the final vote shall be taken, Over a week ago the ““ma- chine," as Uncle Joe Cannon's followers have heen denominated, began a quiet, but effective canvass in order that when the rule was reported there should be no doubt about its passage. The insurgents, so- calied, in which the republican members of the Nebraska delegation are included, early found themselves in a position to do one of two things, to be consistent and vote against the rule as reported from the committee on rules, or else dodge, and they have decided to vote against the rule it it is reported as now outlned, Judge Norrls, who has become one of the leaders of the Insurgent forces, when ap proached by representatives of the Can non forces insisted that the rule should provide the right to amend the tariff bill by putting coffee and tea on the free list, Increase the Internal revemue tax on beer, put lumber on the free list and vote on lowering the tariff on hoslery and gloves and changing the present drawback fea- tures of the bill on all products and vote on the countervalling duty on petroleum. Judge Norrls was met generally with an agreement as to a rule providing for a vote on the schedules above mentionel with the exception of a vote on the coun- tervailing duty on oll and a tax on beer, and this gave him almost conclusive evi- dence that the charges maae that Fitzger- ald of New York and the democrats who voted with bim on the Fitzagerald resolu- , but which was a_Cannon measure, %0, because of an agreement reached during the midnight hours on Saturday night, before the bill was eported on Mon- “day. that there hould be no vote on the oil schedule and that there should be no tax on beer. Record on Hides and Lumber. 1t i understood that the rule to be re- | ported on Monday wiil permit a record vote In the house on hides and the lumber Achedules, but no record will be permitted outside of these. The rule, however, will permit a vote in committee of tha whole on a number of these sohedules enumer- mted above and possibly on the counter- valling duty on oil, but as no record Is Kept of this vote it is easily apparent how members could vote for the “interests without being branded. Tt is one of the foxiest games In the world and s worthy of Uncle Joe and those who train with him. The insurgents.. It Is stated, will vote against Lhe rule generally, although there are thres or four members classed In this category who are willing to take the bill as it came from the committee and will therefore vote for the rule. Thelr defec- tion, however, will be set off by a number of republicans who have herefofora been voting with the majority of their party, but who, are demanding a vote on a half dosen of the schedules at least, and these will quit the majority to vote with the In- surgent republicans against the rule. 1If, however, Fitzgerald can hold his elght- een or twenty democrats for the rule its adoption on Monday is a foregone conclu- sion. With the rule adopted there does not seem to be anything In the way of the pas- eage of the bill by April 10, the date the has been set by the leaders to sendthe bill to the senate Contest for Postofiice Ended. The appointment of Andrew Richmond as postmaster at Orleans, Neb., comes at the end of an extremely Interesting contest Mr. Richmond's term expired nearly three years ago, but he has been holding on ever since because the department liked his work. Judge Norrls at the conclusion of Richmond’'s term recommended for the place Mr. Olmstead, but the department in- slsted upon enforcing its rule, that & postmaster's services have been efficient and where there is no personal objection on the part of a congressman to said postmaster. that he will be retained. Judge Norris recommended Olmstead because he belleved he more strongly endorsed than Richmond and for the further fact that he was an ¢ld soldier. Richmond had also strong endorsements and was friendly to Norrls, who could raise no personal ob- jection to Richmond. There the matter rested until yesterday, when Richmond wus reappointed. master at Orleans fifteen years on the ex- piration of his present In School for Sale.

DINGOLFING, Germany, April 2—The Zeppelin airship, that spent the night in an open field near this town after having been driven by a storm yesterday from the nelghborhood of Munich, reascended at Journey to the Bavarian capitdl. A mod erate wind was blowing. On rising the airship maneuvered in a satisfactory man- ner and headed In the direction ot Munich, amid the cheers of thousands of spacta- tors. Automobiles and several detchments of cavalry followed the route of the airship MUNICH, April 2—The Zeppelin airship appeared over Munich about 1:30 thia aft- ernoon and made a successful landing on the parade grounds outside the city. The count was greeted by the prince regent of Bavaria and several princes and princesses of the royal family. A vast crowd had as- sembled to witness the descent, which was made lightly and easily. The authorities had been advised by tele- graph of the hour when the alrship could be expacted. The public school children were glven a holiday and extra editions of the newspapers were sold on the streets giving full accounts of the travels of the airship. Count Zeppelin was greeted by the prince regent as he stepped from the car and was carried off by the prince to luncheon. Many distinguished persons were present at the meal. The prince proposed the health of the count and conferred a gold medal upon him. He also decorated the count's com- panions. The airship will leave here to- night for Friederichshafen.

EXECUTIVE TO BE THE JUDGE Minimum Rates Are to Be Applied to All Countries for One Year. MAXIMUM GOES IN EFFECT THEN !Presidcnt to Except Countries Giving | United States Lowest Rates. PROVISION IS CONSTITUTIONAL Prinel is Upheld by Sapreme Court in Case Growing Out of the McKinley Tarift Act. WASHINGTON, April A—President Taft was informed today of the senate program for the administration of the new tariff bill. 1t provides that a minimum tariff shail apply to all countries for one year. At the end of that time the maximum rates will g0 Into effect against all countries, which in the opinion of the president are not giving the United States their best tariff rates. The president {s understood to favor strongly this idea of application of the maximum and minimum principle and it is believed that it will be the plan finally agreed upon. The plan of administering the minimuth and maximum rates in the house bill, as it now stands, s said to be more indefinite and less effective than the one proposed by the senate finance committee. Taft Confers with Aldrich. Prior to the cabinet meeting today Presi- dent Taft had a conference with Chalrman Aldrich of the senate finance committee and Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh. Senator Aldrich assured the president that the committee is making most satisfactory progress with the tariff bill and sald there would be little or no delay in taking the matter up in the senate following a vote in the house. The administrative features of the senate bill were then taken up for discussion, which will be resumed at the White House next week. Senator Aldrich left for New York today and the finance committee will not meet during his absence. There have been more or less apparently authentlc reports current from time to time to the effect that majority sentiment In the senate was opposed to the minfmum and maximum principle as enunclated in the Payne bill. President Taft has not shared this belief and today he received definite assurances as to the correctness of his position when Semator Aldrieh out- lined to him his own position and that of the majority of the finance commiti to the plan of administration to be dro- vided for iIn the senate measure which hae, further, the support of a supreme court decision as to its constitutionality Details of the Plan. The difference between the mintmum and maximum rates will be 2 per cent. Tt is planned that for a period of nine months or one year the minimum rate, wwhich will be fixed as the protective rate, shall apply to all countries without distinction or dls crimination. At the end of this period the maximum rates automaticelly will go into effect against all countries, which, In the opinion of the executive, are not giving to the United States the benefit of their most favored nation clauses. In other words, it will require affirmative action by the president, after a thorough inquiry, to give to any nation the benefit of the minimum American rate. If, In the general inquiry which will be made during the “probation- ary” period, the president finds that cer- taln nations are discriminating against the United States he will merely refrain from fssuing @ proclamation regarding thess countries and the maximum rate henceforth will apply to them. This plan gives to the executive complets power of inquiry and decision. The su- preme court of the United States in a case involving the constitutionality of the Me- Kinley tariff act, decided that congress by similar method of administration wes in nowise delegating its authority to the Congress will fix absolute rates which will apply under conditions which it prescribes and no executive discretion will rest with the president Another matter discussed at executive. the White House conference today and which will be | taken up again next week, had to do with what plans shall be adopted in the adminis- trative section of the new bill to prevent absolute under vamlation. The president belleves with the Treasury department offl- ials that gross frauds have been prac- ticed on the government in the past under xisting methods and considers it of su- me importance that a fixed standard of valuation should be prescribed. councilman from the renominated by the democratic primaries, filed a false filing which application may be made the basis J.

LINCOLN, April (Special.)—The clo ing hours of the senate were calm an peaceful, that body indulging in no un- dignified antics while walting for the e: grossing clerks to complete their work s adjournment could be taken. Not so with the house. Speaker Pood was presented with a gold watch by the members and employes and after this wass off hands the Nvely times commenced. Kverything that was loose was thrown around, desks broken .nd altogether it was the wildest orgle ever seen in the chamber. At 9 o'clock it was seen the engrossing clerks could not complete thelr labors this evening and a recess was taken until § o'clock tomorrow morning. After frequent calls of the house and after the sergeant-at-arms had been or- dered to go to Havelock and look up Kast- man and to Omaha to look up Killen, and Groves of Lancaster had been escorted to the hall by his physiclan, the house passed the bill Senator Wiltse, amended close all saloons in the state at § o'clock in the evening and to open at 7 a. m. The bill was at once taken to the senate and the amendmehts concurred in there The action of the legislature in passing this temperance measure at the last minute of the last day of the session after killing o'clock closing bill, is credited to the Omaha senators. The action of the sena tors in standing out for the Interest of the stock yards angered many members of the house, who took the opportunity to get oven. Governor Shallenberger also came in for his share of credit because he vetoed the Fort Crook bill and thus lost one vote against the 8 o'clock closing measure. When the bill was discussed In the house yesterday it was amended to leave Omaha out entirely, but after the report of the conference committee on the physioal valu- ation bill and its adoption by the house, Omahe wes at once put back in the Wiltas bill in retaliation. Bill Really Failled . The bill recelved just fifty-one votes in the house and later it was discovered that Fogarty had been recorded in the affirma tive, when he voted in the negative. When Fogarty's attentiop had been called to the mistake, he informed the house that he had voted in the negative and desired to be so recorded. Humphrey of Lancaster and Taylor of York objected to correcting errors by to a7 {1n a roll call, bacause to change the Fogarty vote would be to lose the bill. So when the motion was put to make the correction it was lost. Bushee of Kimball voted no on the bill when the roll was first called, but when he it lacked only one vote and to save time he changed to yes. In xplanation fo his first vote Bushee said he believed the bill was meant to deceive the temperance people of the state on the attitude of the democratic party on the temperance question. Killen and Kastman were the only mem- bers absent without excuse, and It was told the house that Eastman had gone lo Havelock and that Killen had gone to Omaha last night, expecting to be back this morning. Taylor of Custer insisted that the sergeant-at-arms bring the men in, even if he had to look for them in Havelock and Omaha. While the ser- geant-at-arms was fixing to put on his trotting harness to head for Havelock discovered | Bastman eame in and voted yes.
