WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE BEE.
1407 F Street , N. W.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 26 ,
Postmaster General Btssell was In his office
or a short time today and confirmed the
tatement transmitted to The Bee ten days
ago , to the effect that a postmaster for Omaha
will not be appointed until congress meets
next Monday. It Is expected that the presi-
lent's annual message will be the only exccu-
Ive document sent lo congress on Monday ,
and that no nominations will be sent to the
senate until Wednesday. The Omaha case Is
practically settled , and the nomination of cx-
overnor Boyd Is expected to be sent to the
senate with the first batch of documents of
hat nature.
Tobias Castor has been expected hero for
several days to look after the matter and
lasten It , but he has not yet materialized
Secretary Morton will practically have charge
of the matter. An old postal official today
said :
There Is nothing on flb yet to Indicate
the appointment of. Governor lioyd. There Is
not a scrap of official paper containing his
name , but It Is tacitly understood that he IsLe
Lo receive the appointment. There Is one
personal letter here telling of the excellent
services Governor Boyd done his party for
many years and during the recent campaign ,
but that letter Is not a recommendation for an
appointment. I have no authority to tell you
the name of the writer of the letter , but It
probably means business. "
The case has been lying on the postmaster
general's table for some time , and was at
one time taken to the white house , but while
Postmaster General Blssell has been 111 and
Is now a well man the president has rheu
matic gout , and Is In no mood to bestow
official favors. He Is a constant sufferer and
not prone to attend to bu&lness.
DISPOSING OF MILITARY RESERVES.
There has been some speculation as to the
manner In which the secretary of the Interior
will dispose of the abandoned military reserva
tions which have been turned over to him by
an order Issued by Secretary of War Lament
The act providing for the disposal of aban
doned military reservations approved July C ,
1881 , provides that the lands contained within
the limits of the several reservations shall be
divided Into tracts of forty acres each , and
that they shall bo appraised by a commission
consisting of three disinterested men , ap
pointed by the secretary of the Interior
These subdivisions are to be disposed of al
public auction to the highest bidders at not
less than the appraised value thereof , nor less
than $1.25 per acre. Provision Is , however
made that any settler who was In actual oc
cupation of any portion of these reservations
prior to the location of the military post , or
who settled thereon prior to January 1 , 1884
In good faith , for the purpose of securing a
home and of entering the same under the gen
eral laws , and who has continued In such oc
cupation to the present time , and Is by law
entitled to make his homestead entry , shall
bo ent.tled to enter the lands
so occupied , not exceeding 160 acres

ment survey. This act also provides that

MISSOURI ItlVEU IMPROVEMENT.
Captain II. F. HoJges , in charge of the
mprovement of the Missouri river above Sioux
City , has submitted his report to the chief of
engineers. With reference to the second Ice
harbor authorized by the river and harbor
act of 1S91 the report says : "Tho location
was selected by the secretary of war under
date of February 8 , 1891. The place chosen
was In the mouth of the Big Sioux river , a
locality which had been recommended by the
engineer department In June , 1891. Upon
notification that the site had been selected
i project for the work was prepared and sub
mitted under date of April 4 , and approved
April 19 , 1894. This project contemplates
the acquisition of a strip of land 2,720 feet
long along the right bank of the river , the
construction of a levee with a top above ex
treme high water , grading the bank to a suit
able slope , placing a mooring at convenient
Intervals and grading an Incline for hauling
out boats. The sum. of $17,725 was available
for the construction work. Before the land
can b& acquired the consent of the state of
South Dakota Is necessary. This cannot be
obtained until the next meeting of the legis
lature In December. 18D4. Until then no work
can be done. "
The report recommends that at Pierre the
channel should be confined for a distance ol
aoven miles In length , at a cost of $360,000.
At Yank ton the conditions have changed
within the last year and are still changing
to such an extent that a close estimate of the
cost of the necessary work cannot bo made
U must go at least four miles above the
town to the site of the proposed railroad
bridge , and should bo extended for aboul

It Is learned that Italy Is trying to brow

Il.ilso Caused bv tlio Necessity of liaising ;
Money to right Revolution * .
WASHINGTON , Nov. 20. United States
Minister McKenzle has notified the State
department that the government of Peru has
issued two decrees affecting customs duties.
Ono provides that , commercial and such
other goods as are exempt from duty under
article 1 of the act of December 31 , 1888 ,
shall pay hereafter a duty of 8 per cent ad
valorem. Gold and stiver bullion and coin
and ammunition for the use of rifle or re
volver clubs remain exempt. The second
decree Increases rates of duties on a largo
number of commodities , including agricul
tural and manufacturing machinery , hard
ware , furniture , hides , brick , etc. The
cause of this Increase Is found In the
necessity of raising money to suppress the
revolution , and congress had clothed the
president with almost unlimited power to
raise revenues.
The Ecuadorenn government has , for chari
table purposes. Imposed a tax of 5 cents
per quintal on sugar made In the country
or Imported , and an Import tax of 2 per
cent on all foreign liquors , except wines.
For the purpose of establishing a fund to
bo used for the construction of railroads , a
tax of 10 cents per 100 kilos has been laid
on all gold passing through the custom house
for export or import ; of 1 per cent on all
money to be paid for freight or passage by
seas ; of 2 per cent on all money to be paid
. for Insurance premiums outside of the coun
try ; of 2 per cent on bank dividends.
United States Consul 'Daw son , at San
Salvador , haa Informed the Department of
, State that the provisional government of
Salvador has required that all customs duties
shall be paid In silver at 100 per cent nd
valorem. Importers are permitted to pay
10 per csnt In bonds at the custom house ,
and nre obliged to pay 0 per cent In bonds of
the "Salvadorean mint. "

WASHINGTON , Nov. 2C. Attention Is
called to the most dangerous counterfeit
that has mada Its appearance In years in
a circular Issued by the secret service of
the Treasury department today. It Is a | 2
United States silver certificate , series of
1891 , signed by AV. S. Rosecrans , register ;
B. II. Nebeker , treasurer , and has the portrait
trait of the late Secretary \Vlndom on Its
face. The general appearance of the note
Is excellent nnd will bear close scrutiny.
U Is about one-eighth an Inch larger than
the genuine. The numbering , seal and lathe
work are well executed. In the portrait
of Wndom the eyes appear to be larger than
In the genuine , and have a bulged look.
The shading around the large figure " 2"
on left end , back of note. Is represented In
the counterfeit by perpendicular lines only ,
whllo In the gcnulno both perpendicular and
horizontal lines are used , forming small
*
squares. The paper contains distributed silk
threads , but the silk Is heavier than In the
genuine. _
Pie crust made with Dr. Price's Cream
Halting Powder Is simply superb.

One of the largest and beyond question
.ho most representative audience of the season
jreeted Mr. and Mrs. Kendal at the Boyd
ast night.
The bill was Plnero's play , "The Second
Mrs. Tanqueray , " and It no doubt drew many
who were , curious to see If the play were
really as objectionable as some of the east
ern papers have alleged. Its production
ms called forth a storm of moral Indignation
on the one hand , and as naturally created
nany defenders on the other. Whether It
Is good or pernicious In Its tendencies and
Influences Is one of those mooted questions
: hat each auditor must decldo for himself.
Briefly told , the plot of the story Is this :
Mr. Tanqueray , who has been married to a
cold , unresponsive pattern of virtue , finds
himself at his wife's death left with a
daughter and lonelier than ever. He mar
ries accordingly a woman of doubtful repu
tation , . trusting that she will add color and
comfort to his life. The play shows the
gradual disintegration of this Idle dream.
The second Mrs. Tanqueray cannot support
the cnnul of respectability , and the final
straw Is the discovery that her step-daughter
is to marry an old lover of hers. She
solves the problem for herself at last by
committing suicide.
Mrs. Tanqueray la a part very different
from anything Mrs. Kendal has formerly
attempted in this country. Her presenta
tion of the role has aroused much adverse
criticism , tovhlch she has given some
sharp retorts , reflecting upon the American
people. Conceived In fallacy , berne out by
sophistry , written with skill nnd performed
with consummate- ability , "The Second Mrs.
Tanqueray , " in the hands of the Kendals , la
an Intensely Interesting performance. The
theme is by no means elevating and smacks
of the "Forget Me Not" and "Crust ol
Society" flavor , yet it has an Intensity
marked of few dramas of recent years.
The performance was a most artistic one
Mrs. Kcndal , In the title role , giving c
faultless rendition of Its many difficult ant
varied requirements. Whatever the merll
of the play , there could be no question ol
that of the' artist , and the audience was
completely captured by the many beautiful
features of her portrayal.
Mr. Kendal as Aubrey Tanqueray hai )
splendid opportunity to display his hlgl
talent In the delineation of refined soclet )
roles. His work throughout was most ef
fectlve , being of the kind that has won hlir
a place as tha representative English actoi
of society drama.
The support of the Kendals Is stront
gnd even , but far from brilliant. MUi
Marlon Lea plays the part of Rllean , daugh
ter of Tanquerny , She Is a handsome glr
and did effective work In the scenes will
her stepmother , In which her convent-nur
tured nature Instinctively rejects thi
preferred love of the woman whose whlti
robe has caught a llttlo dust around tin
hem , to put It mildly. In other less exact
Ing situations her work was somewhat list
less. _ _
The unrivalled boquel that Cook's Extn
Dry Imperial has , has made It a. favorlti
with all good judgos.
