It was between DUO nnd 10 o'clock this

Without waintng they were c.itried down ns

up of Iron girders , hardly strong enough to
support the walls , buthca\y enough , lic.ucn

that were held together bi phsterlong since

The Kovctnincnt of a gicatmtion could

Twcnt.eight jcars ago there was another
tragedy in the walls of this building. The

Neb , Juno 0 [ Special to Tun
BEP. ] Quito a delegation of prominent bus- !
icss men of this city are now In Washing
ton , w hero they are laboring with Attorney
General Olney In behalf ot Chailcs W.
Moshcr , the bank locking president of the
defunct Capital Isatlonal. This Nebraska
contingent at tlio national capital is headed
l > y John D. MacParlana , late receiver ot the
biokcn bank , nnd Is clceroncd by lion Qcnlo
M. Limbcrtson , late senior counsel of the
impeachment nroscoution.
.A tip i cached heto this aflcrnoon from
Washington to the effect that the sticnuous
ofCoits now being made to 1mvo the com *
piomlse proposition accepted by the attor
ney general are llkelv to succeed. It Is un-
dctstood that nn airangcment was made
with Unllca Slales Dlsliiet Attorney B iker
nt Otu ilia , by which that ofllclil was to re
call .Moslier by tolcgraph whenever t was
absolutely necessity to have him there for
trial , and Iho fact that this recall has not
jet been issued , nnd that Mr. Baker has ex
tended Moshei's time of grace , lends some
color lo the story.
Macrarland's destination , when ho left
heie , was Mercers but g , Pa . his old home ,
whore his mall was ordcicd forwnidea.
Lambcrtson's ostensible destination was
Chicago and his old homo at Mineral Point ,
Wis It is denied by MacF.n land's fi lends
that his tilp was made in behalf of Moshcr ,
but theio is a peculiaily noncommittal ac
cent to the denials intdo regarding Limbeit-
son's motives and v\hcicabouts.
Moshor'iy Cold-ttloodud I'roposnI.
It will be rcmcmbetcd that the depositors ,
with some exceptions , joined in a , request
that the piopositlon ot Moslier and his icla-
lives to paj bick $100,000 bo accepted , In
considei ition ot his hem ? lot oT w itli a line
nnd ichevfd ot the necessity of going to the

fi om the stocUholdcis of Iho collapsed bink ,
who object to being given the ragged end of

Ing out of the schema can bo possible , be
cause of the simllatitj of this ciseand the

which to go at the ptosccuting alloiney ,

It is lopoitcd heio tonight that Lunbert-

It is another cuiious lict that , notwlth-

sa.v s a disagreement exists alrcadj among the
members of the now Argentine cabinet The
dissatisfaction grows out of President
Pcna's attitude. It Is politically the most
mixed cabinet over known In Argentina.
Homero was especially surprised over his to-
inovol fiom the Treasury department , be
cause It was only yesterday that he wis In
formed by cable from London that the
creditors had accepted his plan for eettlIng
the debt of Argentina and the president. Is
alleged to have agreed to retain him IB the
cabinet. It seems nrobablo that the now
cabinet w ill not hold togelher for a long
