WASHINOTOX , May 29-Capt. Belknnp ,
president of the board appointed to examine
Uio Dolphin , in a telegram to the secretary of
the navy to-day reports that tha trial trip yes
terday was satisfactory and that the require
ments of the contract for the vessel were com
plied with.
It Is clear that tha energies of the adminis
tration are to bo directed to discredit silver.
That is the TIIden-Manning progratnmo. The
effect of this is seen in the first month Just
ended under Treasurer Jordon. What the
treasury policy la may bo learned from the
following summary of the month's work from
a treasury standpoint : The month's expert-
rnont is a loss of only 81,000,000 in gold , while
the lo s last month was $0.000,000. This re
duction in the loss of gold la attributed almost
entirely to the saving accomplished in
the cost of transporting money of various
classes from one part of the country to an
other , at the cxpcnso of the government , in
thohopis of forcing silver into circulation.
The attitude of the treasury now is that there
is in circulation uvory dollar In silver and sil
ver certificates which the people arc willing to
accept , end that all expedients for forcing sil
ver out of the treasury are impolitic and inef
fectual. The greatest mistake of the repub
lican policy was the effort to attain thia end
'by the expensive methods of shipping silver
certificates , The ellvnr certificates thus
forced into circulation in the south at
public cost find their way to Now
York and back to the treasury through
the customs. In the words of a prominent
treasury official , every silver certificate now
forced out of the treasury makes a circuitous
tour at public expense and promptly finds its
way back into the vault * . The new admlnis-
irv.lan maintains that the practice of Issuing
silver certificates for gold deposited In New
York Is inexpedient and impracticable. Three-
fourths of the silver certificates now in circu
lation bavo been put out through the medium
of gold deposited in Now York for silver cer
tificates delivered at other points , mainly in the
south. Ttis was regarded by the former offi
cials as an effectual method of getting oat the
silver notes and at the same tlmo increasing
the gold. The new officers oppose this. The
issuance of silver certificates for gold deposits
is virtually stopped. The benefits ore claimed
to ba a saving nf the expense of transporting
the silver notes , an Increase in tha proportion
of gold used in paying customs duties , and a
gradual Increase In the f tee silver In the treas
ury. The change of policy necessitates a
general movement of legal tenders and
National bank notes in place of the extensive
shipments of silver certificates for which the
government has paid. It is stated that Se c-
rotary Manning la strongly opposed to any
policy which Involves payments in any money
unacceptable to the payee , and that be pro
poses no step toward forcing silver through
clearinghouse payments if the methods prove
as successful as he bsheves they will. If the
monthly loss of gold can by the present policy
bo kept below $2,000,000 hoxees no necessity
for changes of policy until after congress hashed
hod an opportunity to stop the silver coinage.

THE srxAKin roncEB I.KOISI.ATION INTO CHAN
NELS Of HIS SELECTION ,
SmiKOFULD , III. , May 29. In the senate
this morning McNalry's bill providing that
the bodies of paupers , when not claimed by
relatives may bo disposed of to the medical
fraternity , in the interest of science , passed ,
A joint resolution providing for the purchase
of Halne'a compendium of laws of thostatotn-
eluding laws up to 1885 , nnd donate seven
copies to each township under the organiza
tion , and ono copy to each justice of the
peace , passed. This will entail n largo ex
pense to the state and will require nearly
1G.COO copies to supply the sttto at a cost of
ono dollar and a half each , No other busi
ness of importance was transacted owing to
the turbulent element. Before noon nearly
nil the members had left and the senate
adjourned to D p , m. Monday ,
In tbo houio , Lawrence's resolution pro
viding a comrniislon to roviio the criminal
lawp , was laid on the table. Quinn'iresolu
tion to investigate the workings of the state
board of equalization and find out whv cer
tain corporations aio not taxed as they should
be , was referred to the revenue committee.
Uproar and confusion continued nearly on
hour over ordering the low licence bill , and
the senate bill governing elections In Chicago
cage , to a third reading , A trade had been
made by leading friends of the two bills In
the morning , but others excitedly objected to
such proceedings. Fiual'y ' tha question waa
had on ordering the low licence bill advanced.
No quorum voted , and the house adjourned ,
The afternoon session of the house was n
reminder of the riotous actions during the
election of n speaker. An attempt was made
by the house to read bills the second time.
Speaker Hulnes would not permit this , notwithstanding -
withstanding nearly every member of the
house favored it. Hainan ordered the
I clerk to read the Bonito appropriation
bills. The clerk proceeded to comply , amid
protests from all parts of the house. No at
tention was paid to the remonstrance.
Mnally Campbell of Kankakeo , Kimbrough ,
Cooley , .Llnegar of Alexander , and
others went to the desk and ordered
him in the name of the house to desist.
Haines himself then read the titles of bills and
without putting the question to the house ,
declared them advanced. Campbell quickly
made a break for the speaker , and bad not
some friends interfered he would have taken
Halnes bodily from the chair , The action of
the speaker is condemned on all sides , there
being but few sympathizers who think ho did
what was right. The majority say It waa a
bleb-handed piece of business , and there is
considerable talk of voting htm out of the
speakership. This , however , will probably
not bo done. It seems certain It will be de
cidedly interesting in the house when the
journal is read Tuesday morning ,

Special Telegram to The BEE.
CHICAGO , 111. , May 29. The fact that to
morrow is a holiday on the board waa a dampener -
ener on any higher quotations than wore es
tablished early in the day. The crowd in
both wheat and corn were as ono man disin
clined to carry trade over to Monday , and
early in the day began unloading. Especially
was this true of wheat , though in this pit th
lota were all small sized compared with the *
closing prices of yesterday. The decltno
was lc , the closing to-day being at 87jjo for
July. The opening was at 88Je and tha
highest point 88jjc. The market was gov
erned by depressed foreign advices , the bear
ish fooling locally , and by heavy receipts ,
though thoto of wheat weio only moderate.
The conviction is spreading , however , that
they are going to bo heavier in a general way.
CORN ,
Mora interest centered in corn than in any
other grain , July opened at158c within Jo
of its highest poiut and fell elf steadily to
44Jc | , recovering to 44go at the close of the
morning session. This is substantially 4 drop
of la from yesterday.
[ PROVISIONS.
The provision deal "presents a very weak
feature. To-day's decline , which was very
steady , aggregated 32Jo. A Httlo fall in
prices at the yards was responsible for part.of
the easier tone , but the bulk of It came in a
sympathetic way from grain. July pork
opened at $10.CD and closed at $10.27 $ . There
will bo no session of the board to-morrow.
CATTLE.
In caltlo there was a fair demand and prices
were steady , especially on solid corn-fed and
light handy Blears. Certain low grade and
rough unfinished steers , that heretofore have
been selling for feeders and to dressed beef
operators , now have to compete with the ordi
nary run of westerns , nnd aa a consequence
are beginning to Bell slow and at easier prices.
Butchers stock is steady , and stockers and
feeders dull , A drove of Missouri steers ,
averaging 1,425 pound ; , sold at S\70. The
ordinary run of steers , of 1,109 to 1,200
pounds , are selling at from $4 0(3 ( to $5 25 , and
heavier averages at $5.00@5.GO ; stillers , 85.00
W6.30 ; corn-fed rangers , S5.00@5 40 ; corn-fed

Among the receipts was a train of cattle
direct from Walla Walla , Washington terri
tory. There were about 400 cattle and thir
ty-four horses on the train. They were railed
about 1,914 miles , being run from Huntington -
ton , Oregon , where the Oregon Short Line
connects with the navigation , and the Union
Pacific system begins , to end at Council
Bluffs. Tha distance of 1,414 miles was made
in sixty-five hours and forty minutes , an av
erage of twenty-two miles per hour. This ,
for the great distance travelled , is the best
freiaht time on record , and beats the Union
Pacific's first run of this character , made some
weeks since , by three hours. Considering the
long ride and the fatigue tha animals had to
undergo , they looked wonderfully fresh and
were In good condition outwardly. The cattle
tlo were unloaded at Omaha. It was the
owners' original Intention to dispose of them
there. Thar averaged 1,105 pounds , and
brought $4.G5.
noaa.
The market opened with a speculative
spurt , and the first sales showed a slight advance -
vance aa compared with the lowest of yester
day. Later , when the apaculators found that
regular buyers were not following the upward
movement , they , the cautious speculators ,
drew out and offered their morning's pur
chases at any price they could get , so that
along toward noon trade was dull and prices
weak. Rough and mixed. $3 50@3 70 : pack

MUSEUM OF RELICS ,
AnlDstllnti&n & for the Preservation of
CnritsiWantefl.
The Trinkets of Early l > aye , Around
Which Ollnc Material for History
and Historians , Ought to bo
Preserved ,
For a long time it has boon the chor
Idled desire of nome of Omaha's
older citizens to establish a museum. In
which can bo arranged and preserved all
( lie relics of oaily d ys In Nebraska ,
they have cllngiog around and about
them , histories that will In the future bo
interesting and valuable. Some days ago
Judge Janus W. 8 vago addressed ot
Senator Mvndorson a letter on the impor
tance of this subject. It Is as follows :
Your lotttor whh its valuable oncrges-
tlons has just reached mo. I respond at
once , as tno subject of a collection of In
dian relics is ono which has for several
years past frequently engaged my
thoughts. I have dared to look forward
to some period in the future when cither
private or public munificence should pro
vide us with a building dovotcd first , to
the use of our rapidly Increasing libra
ry ; second , to such a collection as you
suggest , and think , to a museum of fos
sils , geological , botanical and other
specimens , inclusive of the
natural hlatory of Nebraska.
If such a building could have the name
of Blackbird , It would perpetuate the
memory of the most powerful of the wild
chieftains who once bora a nay in this
vicinity , and of ono , who was too great a
warrior , too wise a statesman , and too
good a triond of the white man to have
his nome borne only by a turbid little
creek in the northern part of the state.
But I am aw ro that this Is not a prac
tical answer to your questions , and In re
sponse to your inquiry whether the buard
of trustees of the Omaha public library
push the matter to success , I
feel authorized to nay , though
without any special consultation with
them , that nothing that can bo loyally
dona by them to promote such a project
as you suggest shall be wanting. Should
there be no obstacles arising under the
charter or ordinances to B reasonable ex
penditure of money for tha purpose , I
shall myself bo la favor of such outlay ,
and , at all events , I think I can safely
promise that room and cases shall ba pro
vided for all donations to the collection.
Your letter will bo brought before the
trustees at our next meeting , and , as In
the absence of our secretary , it will de
volve upon me to prepare the annual re
port of the trustees to the common coun
cil , I shall take occasion to Incorporate
the suggestions yon have mado.
In reply to the above Senator Mander-
son writes :
Omaha , bocaiso cf her name , location ,
and history , is the city of all others that
should cherish memories and perpetuate
the history of the Notth American
Indian.
The glorious young state of which she
Is the metropolis iras until very lately
the homo of tbo most powerful tribes of
tha Aborigines , and onr prairie land is
covered with the evidences of their strag
gle for life and contests with eash other.
It is but a few years when the sight
upon onr streets of the Omaha , the
Stoax , the W/nnebago / , the Otoo , and the
Pawnee was so common as not to excite
comment.
The rapid march of onr civilization Is
pushing tbo rod man to ono side , or as a
bettor result ii absorbing him. But a
Httlo while and the Listory , characteris
tics , habits , costumes , and oven the
names of theto once powerful tribes will
bo almost forgotten. Omaha owes It to
herself and the worll to do what she can
to prevent this result.
I suggest that in connection with the
superb public library , that is tbo chief
honor of our city , there should ba estab
lished a depository of Indian wares , relics
and curiosities an Indian museum. In
the houses of ilia citizens cf Nebraska
are large quantities of material
that If gathered together and intelligent
ly classified would make a most valuable
collection for the use of the student and
historian.
These could bo loaned or given. In
the hands of many a friend of Omaha
there are valuable Indian roltos ready foi
bestowal for the public good. I have
gathered together a few important arti
cles that I am ready to glvo and add to.
Will not your board of trustees take hold
of this matter , and push H to success '
It mo&ns a little money and some labor.
A room and a few cases , and Omaha'e
entomological museum will rapidly gron
into something to boast of. Some one
should write the history of the Indlar
tribes of Nebraska , and this atop wil !
load to that result.
Tuo collection , If It Is to be made al
all , must bo made now. Twenty-five
yoirs hence It will probably be made. Il
private individuals throughout the citj
and state , officers of the army , gentle
monomployedat tha various Indian agen <
cies , and travellers of all sortu could bi
Induced to feel in Interest in the pro
iect , it could not fail of socoesi. Thank
ing you for your offer , and assuring yoi
that I will gladly co-operate with yon ii
any way in which tbo cchema can best bi
cariied into effect.

Notes of Interest.
A reporter for the BEII , strolling around
yesterday In quest of news , happened
Into the office of Gas Inspector Gilbert ,
in the old city hall building. That gen
tleman now has control of the oflioo for
merly occupied jointly by him with Piro
Chief Butler. Ho was busily engaged in
preparing for sorvlca a couple of pieces
of machinery which are intended to aid
him in his work ns inspector , and espec
ially in testing the quality of gas and the
correctness of gas-metres.
Ono of those contrivances is known as
a photomotro , or ns its name Indicates , n
"light measurer. " It Is designed to test
the power and quality of light. The
photomotro works on the principle of ra-
ttoction.
The other la called the meter provor ,
on Instrument for determining whether
or not a motor is gauging correctly. It Is
a cistern , with nn adjustable holder , of
a capacity of oix cubic feet nf gas. The
provor is connected with the motor end
the six cubic feet "gas holder" Is filled.
If the figure ] on tbo motor correspond
xrlth those on the provcr , then the for
mer is shown to bo correct , but If It is
"slower" or "faster" than the prover ,
then the fact is shown and the moans of
correction furnished by the voiy action
of the instrument ittolf. These tests are
made at the trifling expense of SI or § 1.50
to the person ordering the test made , tn
pay the cost of expressage , etc. , of the
instruments.
Mr. Gilbert says that abont In a week
or so , probably by the first week In June ,
the gas company will have now lamps
here , and will replace all the old and de
fective ones ,
The gaa inspector haajnst adopted a
uniform system of hours. Tuesdays ,
Thursdays and Saturdays ho will bo at
liberty to make gas metro tests , while on
nights of the other days ho will ba engaged -
gaged in exominlng street lamps.
Amusements.
" The Private Secretary" was pro
duced for the first time In Omaha at
Boyd'a opera homo last nlghr , to a very
large , fine and appreciative audience.
That they thoroughly enjoyed the per
formance was attested by repeated bursts
of hearty laughter and gencrocg applause.
The comedy itself , la fall of funny"dla-
Icgae and still funnier situations , and
the company playing it is an admirably
balanced organization. Each Individual
seems to have been selected especially
for the character assumed , therefore all
parts are strongly enacted. The central
figure of course Is William H. Gillette , and
as " Rev. Robert Spauldlng ' * he appears
to excellent advantage. Mr. M. A. Ken
nedy , In the character of "O&ttermole ; "
Mr. Frank Fannohill , Jr. , as "Douglas
Oattermole ; " Miss Maud Balsam , as
"Edith , " and in fact the entire cast de
serves special praiae. The Secretary will
bo presented again this afternoon , and
The Professor , Mr. Gillett's original
piece , to-night.

EAU CLAIHE , Wis. , May 29. The conven
tion of the northwestern lumbermen manu
facturers was adjourned to-day to meet in
Chicago on the third Wednesday in August
next. The principal object of the convention
was to devise moans and unit upon a plan
whereby production will be curtailed. Yari
OUB suggestions looking to this end were dia
cnased but no definite line of action was de
cided upon. It is btlieved , however , that a
reduction of 300,000,000 feet in the oat of this
district will bo made this scaion , aa the senti
ment of the Iqmber men present was shown to
bo favorable to such a course.

I'lllLAnRLl'iiiA , Pa. , May 29. There wav
an early morning sensation on Third ntrcctr
o-day when the announcement was mada
hat the Shajkamaxon bank had closed ite
doois , its accounts having been withdrawn to
ho extent of $200,000. In n very slort timoR
R > great , excited , noisy , anxious , angry throng
athorod about the instltutom The bank had
t large number of Depositors. Not only the
archest carpet manufacturers were customers ,
mt alto butchers and drovers , and all
ho small shopkconcrj for a milo around ,
The late ' \yilllam Ituinm , salt importer , who
wns n lending politician , and who for years
represented the eighteenth ward In the select
council , was the originator of' ' this bank ,
which was opened about ten years ngo. Kven
Ince hK death , little less than n year ago ,
ho affairs of the institution have been the
ubject of watchful concern on the part of tbo
odicialsof the Philadelphia clearinghouse and
nero especully of Dr. D. 13. Omn-
nini , president of the Girard bank ,
which institution made all the collections for
ho Insolvent bank. Mr. Bumm practically
owned it. Thomas Iluggard was nominally
cashier , but in reality the clerical drudge of
ho place , doing all the routine business of the
jank , keeping up the ordinary daily accounts ,
while Mr. Bumm managed his own affairs
with a sort of exclusive euro which precluded
ho possibility of any one else gaming an in- .
Icht into his peculiar doing * . '
When Bnram'd successor assumed control '
an investigation was brgun that the accounts ,
of the Institution could ba overhauled , A ,
very critical state of affairs was found to i
exist. On Monday the auditing committee of .
ho board of directors met at the bank for tha
mrpoBO of examing the accounts. When
jashlor Huggard was called upon to explain
certain.matters it is said that he was taken
suddenly ill , eo seriously as to alarm the gen-
lemen present , by whom ho was removed to
its home. The directors , however , succeeded
yesterday in discoveiiog that largo sums of \
nonoy had been obtained ftom the cashier \
of which they had not been informed. They \
'ound checks Indicating that William Bumm
b Sons , salt merchants , had obtained the
sum of $115,003 and that Joseph Conklin ,
street cleaning contractor , who had no ac
count whatever in the bank , had obtained
§ 83,000. The aggregate deficit discovered
was S203,000 , > or $5.000 more than the corn-
lined surplus of the bank. No
entry was made of these trancactions
Upon discovery of these facts a special meet
ing of the board of directors was called for
yeiteiday afternoon. Mr , George Bumm.
who is a member ofithe boerd of directors nnd
also a member of the film of William Bumm
& Sons , was present at the meeting and made
a statement , in which ho pledged himself as
liable for the money his firm had drawn.
In consequence his attorney confessed
judgment in favor of'the ' bank lor § 115,000.
The directors , unanimously , before midnight
last night , resolved to suspend , , and accord
ingly at 10 o'clock this morning the doors of
the bank were not opened forbslpOBs } , . (
The stockholders , it is understoodwill pay
off every dollar of the Indebtedness In ad
dition , tha directors it is said , nave $100,000
locked up in the bank , 530,000 of it having
been deposited but D few days ago. The
bank was made one of the cltv depositories
last July , and the city had deposited in the
bank about $100,000.
