Members of tlio senate nro accusing tlio administration with withholding im portant official news on tlio I'annmu situation. A "say nothing but carry, a club' policy. The steel trust lias nt last sustained a'scverc loss. The company's plant at Shelby, Ohio, estimated at three million dollars, was consumed by fire Wednesday night. James L. Hlair, the World's Fair director who departed from St. Louis under indictment, died in Florida hist week. The rcmnins- were brought back to St. Louis for interment, and the funeral of the once popular James Blair was attended by only a few persons. Governor Cummins intends tc carry his "Iowa Idea" on the tariff question into the coming national convention by being selected as a delegate. The Iowa executive has commendable intentions, but they will never meet with popular favor in an assemblage presided over by ono Mark Hanna. Tho latest advices from the Japan Russian situation arc to the effect that leaco overtures are to be made by tho latter government. Of course it is more than probable that little Japan will continue to keep hpr finger on the trigger until further information is forthcoming regarding her demands. The committo on Indian affairs yes terday reported favorably to the house on tho bill providing for tho opening of the Rosebud agency. The bill as re ported provides that the price of nil land within six months after the open ng of tho lands for settlement shall be !3 an acre, and the price of the land taken after that time will bo S2.50 an ncre. George Francis Train, whose millions in money and whoso erratic disposition made him an illustrious character, is dead in New York. Though a man of extraordinary mental scope and a writer of more than ordinary ability ho lacked a governor and his ccccutricitics became his chief characteristic. "Citi zen" Train was a conspicuous char acter in western enterprises, and the last of a vast fortune remains in the possession of a number of lots in the city of Omaha, now in litigation. Rushville Standard: The Standard editor was talking to a gentleman ono day this week who was in Omaha the day Judge Van Deventer handed down his opinion in the Dietrich bribery case, and he said that he, with others, were at the Her Grande hotel, in the bar room, and Dietrich was also there. When the news of tho decision reached the bar room Dietrich's cronies set up a joyous yell and Dietrich, in a loud and boisterous voice called to everyone in" the room to step up and take a drink to his future. prosperity, and kept repeating the call, waiving his arms and getting louder all the while. Comment on such actions, by a man holding tho position Dietrich docs, is hardly necessary. The reception tendered Hon. Win. J. Byran on his return home to Lin coln last Monflay night was a grand affair and attests tho high esteem- in which ho is held. In the history of the state of Nebraska no public man was ever greeted with such outburst of enthusiasm. Mr. Bryan, in the same exalted and masterly mind, cap tivated his audience with that sincerity and logical eloqueucc that has always characterized his presence at public receptions not only in tin's country but from the foreign lands from whence he has just returned. From all over the state admirers were present to greet Nebraska's noblest son. IfMiis speech Mr. Bryan declared his allegiance to tliose questions that affect the com mon people and his voice rang out in the same true tone that appealed in defense of the masses in the past. His loyalty is above reproach, and long may he live. Train robbing still continues to be a profitable occupation. Train robbers stolo an iron safe from the express car of the Sunset limited on tho Southern Pacific railway near San Louis Obispo, Ca)i., yesterday morning, securing 58o,ooo. According to tho express messenger's story, he left tho express car and in tho discharge of his duties wont iuto the baggage car, immediately behind it. While the express car was thus temporarily vacant, the thieves, possibly hoboes who had been stealing a ride, cut a hole in the front end door and entered. They then forced open the side door, threw out the safe and presumably jumped after it- This was an easy matter as tho train was mov ing very slowly on an up grade. This is the most novel and conveniout method of trnin robbery' and will no doubt be heartily indorsed by tho fraternity of holdups.
