A man from Crowell , Nob. , named Long was in town today nnd had u long story to tell of his idea of how Sloan was tracked to Iowa nnd captured. Ho chums to bo n brother-in- law of Pulslfor. His story is that some time ngo , long before the murder at l-'ontanello was committed. Sloan came to his place , two miles north of Crowell , and loft two horses nnd u colt for pasturage. Nothing tran spired between Sloan and his daughter , but lifter a short tlmo Sloan wrote a letter to him nnd hln daughter jointly aslnng for a chance to work. Long says ho answered the loiter , utaliiig ho did not need any moro help. This was the last they heard of Sloan until tha murder at Fdiitanolle. November 1(5 ( Long says his dauphtor received a loiter addressed to her from Sloan In Iowa , which divulged his whereabouts , Wlmro tlio trouble now comes in is that Long assarts that the letter was received nt Crowoll November 2 nnd de livered to him the Kith , and he says tholeller had been opened and rather insinuates that. Undo Sam will look niter tlio postmaster nt Crowoll. This may solve the mystery of how Harriman got on the track of Sloan.

Long says ho moans to make it lively for the parties at fault. KIIOT A A' OMAHA MAX. T. SI. ICvAHN Injured While ItesfHtlnj ; Arrest at Lincoln. LINCOLN' , Nob. , Nov. 23.

Resolutions , voro adopted endorsing the principle of assisting local authorities In Great Britain to acquire land for the purpose of facilitating tlio creation of small rural holdings , which will bo of great advantage to the country by checking the present drain upon the rural districts ; favoring the exten sion of commerce upon n preferential basis throughout all parts of the British empire , nnd that the provisions of any treaties im posing limitations upon the full development of trade between the Untcd | Kingdom nnd other parts of the British' empire should bo abrogated , nnd favoring repeal clauses In the ballot act permitting the Illiterate to vote. The unionists of Birmingham gave n luncheon in honor of Lord Salisbury today. In n speech ho expressed sorrow for the death of Lord Lytton , and said thr.t the fame of that diplomatist would long remain. Re ferring to tbo tariff question , ho said that on all sides thcro appeared constantly Increasing protective duties , which were calculated to slide British trade. The protection theory , on which the tariffs were founded , grow like the oilier evil passions upon which It fed. Watching British statistics , ho could not but feel anxiety lost the efforts of foreign protec tionists should bo partially successful. The errors ot foreign statesmen might bo trans mitted to Great Britain. Undoubtedly Brit ish trade was being hindered for the moment by foreign leelalation. Continuing , ho said : Wo have find trouble , ln rural districts , where no lunKorsoinid employment can bo ob tained us formerly. Men mivo had to seek a desperate remedy by moving Into towns. The government will soUo witli'avlcllty nny meas ure promising legitimately to Increase em ployment for laborers , either In towns or rural districts. , Ono of the most acute of the government's anxieties was the fact , tint people In their Ig norance trod remedies which , it obtained , would plunge them Into far uroator misery. The government had a narrow path to tread ; It must avoid dangerous npnthy In attempt ing to cure sulTorlng by simply Ignoring tlio causes. Oiitlieothcrhand.lt must shun the far moro dangerous course of wandering Into economic errors that mlglLt plunge the whole country Into Irreparable disaster. Ho concluded by congratulating ' .holiberal- unionists on their steady adhesion to the conservative alliance. Mr. Joseph Ch.amborln.in 'referred to the widening of the gulf separating the dissi dents from the Gladstonians. Ho said ho once hoped for a speedy reunion , but now ho neither looked for nor ; dasirod a reunion. Whatever vicissitudes protracted the strug gle , the unionists would march shoulder to shoulder with the conservatives , until they finally defeated the conspiracy against the integrity of the empire. Tno Joint efforts of the unionists and conservatives would both save the country from disintegration and give the people legislation based upon true demo cratic instincts.

"During the last year thorn were four births nt Capo Smytho village , while at the same tlmo there were seventeen deaths , Including the principal nntlvo chief , whoso death was duo to alcoholism. Of the births , ono child wits born out on the Ice nnd died before it could bo bronchi to land. Ono reason for so few births is the great dread the women have of being put into a snow house during tholr confinement. A limited amount of food is furnished them , but all care , attention and communication are pro hibited. In this condition they must remain for a certain number of days. Some freeze , some starve nnd many die from other causes. No wonder the women dread the ordeal and do all they can to avoid child- bearing. "Tho winter has boon mild , with much pleasant weather. At ono tlmo the sea was partly frozen over , but was broken up by n gale and the ion was piled high along the coast. The coldest weather was in January , when the thermometer stood at -i'.t..l0 ' below zero. When the station was built there vas not another house within half a milo of it. Now there are half a dozen within 400 yards and the number is increasing so as to threaten the present limited water supply. " The superintendent expresses the opinion that the refuge station lilled with rough sail ors of different nationalities Is not the proper plnco for a untlvo school , and ho sugcests that other provisions bo made for the educa tion of the young natives. Ho reports the wreck of the schooner Sil ver Wave in October of lost year , and the crew. Ho also tolls of a conspiracy formed against him by a gang of seaman , ono of whom named A. U.

Ills bill was u very conservative one , am' ' his ad vocacy of It was able and judicious from the beginning to the cloo of the discussion. If elected spcal.er I am Hiiro that the same spirit of moderation would chaiaeterb.o his administration of that olllco and that , no ono would liavo just causa to complain ot his demeanor meaner while presiding , or of his general course on political questions. llavliu answered your Inquiry , perhaps I ought to say no moro ; hut 1 will venture to add u word upon another subject , to which yon Incidentally allude. It Is unfortunately true that there Is a disposition In some quar ters lo subordinate the questioner tariff re form to others , which are. In my opinion , far less Impottant to thu people and far moro dinrcrou- the harmony and success of the democratic party. Upon the turllf question wo are practically united , while upon the sliver question , and perhaps upon some others , there are wide clillVronccs of opinion timonu members of our own party dlll'oronct's which can be loconciled omy by patient deliberation and thu uxorul.su of a liberal spirit of forbearance and toleration.
