crat over the ntate arc becoming some
what anxious to know Just when Chairman
Kali In going to rail the male committee)
togpthrr for the pui-iHine of lixltiar a time
for the holding of the Mate convention, for
It is generally accciited now that two con
ventions will he held. Mr. Hall stated to
day that In all troballlity he would rail the
meeting for about the first few days in
March.
When the convention gels together , the
Mg fight will be upon the next chairman of
th stute committee. Omaha and Lincoln
will certainly line up on opposite aides and
aome nice work is now hatching for the
capture of this plum. Bryan democrats
will go to the national convention, but the
conservative democrats are going to make
the fight of their lives to keep a rabid
Hryan democrat out of the chairmanship.
The moft prominent man mentioned at
this time by the antls for the place Is R.
K. Iee llerdman, at present clerk of the su
preme court. Since becoming the occupant
of the. most lucrative office In the state
house, Mr. Herdman has been the bone and
sinew of the party and for that reason his
friends believe that he will make a good
light for the place. The democrats of Lin
coln, however, are aware of Mr. Herdman's
views on the next democratic platform and
they want none of him, consequently there
will be a warm fight, with the result that
in all probability the country delegates can
select all the national delegates for what
they are willing to trade Omaha and Lin
coln on the chairmanship of the commit
tee. In all probability South Omaha will
hold the balance of power and a man from
that town may get on the state ticket.
In Lancaster county there are already an
nounced a half dozen candidate for the two
places to be filled by the First district, and
as It Is conceded that Mr. Bryan will go
from here as a delegate-at-laree, it la pos-
lbla that Lincoln will get nothing In the
way of district delegates. The candidates,
Including J. H. Harley, T. D. Worrall,
Judge Tlbbetts, W. B. Price and others, nre
whooping things up, but the powers that
be may have to withdraw every one of
(hem In an effort to land tha chairmanship.
In the meantime Mr. Hall will likely not
call the committee together until he gets
some word from Mr. Bryan.
Lancaster County ConTratlon.
Lancaster county republicans will hold
t.e!r county convention March 14 to nom
inate a county ticket and select delegates
to the congressional and stnte conven
tions. The primaries will be held the
preceding day. The apportionment will le
about the same as last year, and the rule
promulgated by II. T. Dobbins two ye trs
ogo will prevail. Bo far there Is very lit
tle talk of candidates.

Chief Justice Ilolcomb, Judge Barnes and
Judge Pedgwlck of the supreme court were
In consultation today preparatory to hold
ing court tomorrow. At this session of the
court in all probability several decisions
of much Interest will be handed down. It
la not unlikely that the South Omaha Fire
and Follve board case. In which the right
of the governor to appoint the board la
disputed, will be among the list, as well as
the Lillle murder rase, with probably tha
Seward hanking cases. The Lillle rase has
only been In the hands of the court for
ur weeks, but the others have been ex-
lected to come down for some time.
The healing of, the testimony in the case
of the Banker Union of tha World has
been continued until Thursday because the
attorneys, are busy In the court. It was
the desire of Referee Ryan oa well aa the
participants to have the evidence In such
shape tfiat a report could be made to the
court at this sitting, tout there lias been so
much evidence Introduced that, tills hue
been ImpoKttble, and It will probably not
-go to the court until the next sitting.

With the coming of the Judges, of course,
the taik of who la to be tbe next e'erk of
the court has been revived and It Is gen
erally thought that the man will be named
at this' sitting. Prominent republicans over
the state are getting anxious to see a re
publican In the chair, and much pressure
has been brrniht to bear on the Jidi$ea to
" asflst them In nrrlvliig at a decision.

Printings Assessment Blanks.
The Stale Iloard of Equalisation met this
morning and ordered the nocrrary to make
n requisition upon the state printing board
for all necessary printing to be used In
securing the asM-rsment of corporations.
It Is still a question with the board whether
to use t lie word credit or gross credit in
making; up assessments. The legislature
debated this question for some days and
ref um d to insert the word net credit for
credits, clearly Indicating the Intention of
the members to sssess credits without de
ducting debts. In Commissioner Duffle's
opinion on the revenue law he Interprets
credits to mean net credits. The case has
not been officially passed upon by the su
preme court, however, and It Is probable
that a rase will be brought to get a de
cision. It is not necessary for"the secre
tary of the board to have the decision
until shortly before April I, when he will
send Ms Instructions to the county asses
sors. After Insurance Companies,
Insurance companies that lost money by
re:Lson of the Baltimore Are will have to
file with the Insurance department of the
auditor's office a sworn statement of the
amount of money lost before they will be
allowed to continue business In the state.
This notice has been sent to the com
panies' agents In the state because many
of the companies are thought to have be
come Insolvent by reason of the fire, and
It Is to protect the policy holders that the
notice was sent out.

to equalize the balances In the banks with
which he had accounts and to make pay

MEXICAN DOLLAR IS HIGHER
Insular Bareaa Kxpeets War to Draw
This Coin from tha
Philippines.
WASHINGTON. Feb. IS The Insular
bu.-eau of the War department Is Informed
that the value of a Mexican dollar at Hong
Kong today Is 4A'i cents, a Jump of two
points Flnce Saturday noon. This places
the coin on a practical parity with our
own silver Philippine peso. The Mexican
dollar has practically advanced from 37
cents to its present figure within a year.
This last Increase is explained at the War
department by the statement that the war
has caused a heavy drain, Chinese and
Japanese merchants converting much of
their stock Into cash to be prepared for
emergencies. The result Is expected to be
thi practical extirpation of the Mexican
dollar In the Philippines, an object very
much desired, for a heavy Import duty on
the coin will keep It out of the Islands, once
It Is wtthdntwn.
