WsHHiKfiTOX, Nov. 22. Omaha Bee special. Mr. Reed has goue to New York. He will be absent three or four days. He will try to mend the break in bis eastern line. Not only has a New England member dropped out of Reed's ranks, but it is asserted on good au thority thatft'orte to apply the nnited vote in the New York and Pennsylvania delegations have failed, and at least half a dozen members from each state stand out against the Maine candidate and refuse to be whipped in. Reed stock thus declines and that of all the west ern candidates is np to-night. Western and southern members are using with telling effect the record of Mr. Reed on river and harbor bills, and the fact that he is opposed to silver coinage and dodged on the question of free wool when a vote was recently taken upon it. Cards are being passed around among the southern and western mem ber) showing Mr. Reed's record on the river and harbor hi 11k. During the last twelve sessions of congress, during which twelve river and harbor bills were before the house, Mr. Reed voted for two of them only. It looks to-night as thongh a western man w ill be speaker of the Fifty-first congress. A HENDERSON BOOM. Colonel Dave Henderson, of the Hawkeye state, received a boom to-day in his speakership campaigu and his friends are very confident to-nisht. Senator Allison without unduly inter fering with the affairs of the other bouse, is doing all he cau possibly do to help Colonel Henderson to the speak ership. The senator was asked to-day what he thought of the outlook. "I don't think anyone has won yet," ho answered. "The people of Iowa are for Colonel Henderson and the lon-a delegation is for him solidly and firmly. They think no one has auy better chance than lie has of election. They expect him to be ieaker." "His friends are coming right ulong now," said Repr nentative Couger, of iowa, who was iu the senator's compa ny. "We know that the matter is by no lienns nettled yet, and we expect him to be elected." In answer to a question concerning the Iowa legislature, the senator said it was safely republican. As to the two members of the legislators whom some dispatches have said might join the democrats to secure the election of a new senator, be said that he heard no mote talk of that lately. Colonel Henderson's headquarters present quite a lively appearance this evening. One thing much in his favor now isHhe fact that having been born iu a foreign country (Scotland) he is not eligible to the presidency of the United States and therefore his elevation at this time would in nowise interfere with those having bees buzzing iu their bon nets. Ex-Governor Gear of Iowa, whose rather spare figure was rendered con spicuous by a flannel .shirt and a broad rimmed slonch hat, entertained a num ber of bis old friends and acquaintances at WillurdV to-uight The Iowa states man is not taking as active a part in pol itics these days ns he has iu the past, but is interested euough in the speaker ship contest to come to Washington to put in a good word for his friend, Henderson. He has just arrived and does not care to venture an opinion on tli o situation except to say Rome of tho other candidates were claiming alto gether too much. THE SOUTUCRN CONFEBF.SCB. The expected conference of the south ern representatives which was said to have been held was not held, for the reasou tliat only four of the seventeen members nre here. There bus been a great deal of discussion about the pur poses of this caucus, it being generally assumed that the members would meet to discuss the speakership and tiuite as a body of seventeen votes, so they could make their demands and name their price, the general understanding being Hint Mr. Adams of Maryland, for door keeper, was to be the consideration for their support. This, it cm be stated upon excellent authority, is erroneous. The meeting of the southern consress men, whenever it is held, will not seek to bind the members to any one candi date, nor will Mr. Adams' canilidncy figure in the meeting to any great ex tent. There is a general disposition on the part of all congressmen, so far as they have been heard from, to divide the good offices of the house. There is a gem nl consent, mid willingness to give Maryland the doorkeepership, ns that portion of the patronage ought to go to tliesonth. It is thought, that on that ao count Pennsylvania's chances fr tho clerkship will be somewhat affected. The real purpose of the southern con ference will be to disenss the commit teeships of the next house. The south ern members feci that there are a num ber of matters of vital interest to their section on which there must be legisla tion this coming session. One of these is, of course, the Blair bill, another the internal revenue taxes on tobacco mid brandies, another the question of sugar bounties, and the conference's puriwse is to arrange things among themselves so that they shall be placed in their right positions on the committees be fore which this matter will come iu the coming session. It is likely thnt in this connection limy will desire to bear from every siKsiikership aspirant, but they will enter into no bargain with any eaiiilnliile. It can tie readily un derstnod thnt the candidate who prom ises them the most liberal representa tion nn the committees will gain their votes. Z.AJTD OFFICII DECISIONS, Assistant Secretary Chandler, of the interior department, to-day rendered a number of decisions in Nebraska land cases. In the flnse of llenjaiiiiu l1-Williamson vs. William B. Weiiner, itrvolv ing the timber culture entry covering the southeast J of section 18, township 29 north, range 14 west, Niobrara land district, the assistant secretary affirms the deeieiou of the commissioner of the general land office, -JV '"I try for cancellation. , , "7" charge, that the entry man sold h in terest in the entry and the assistant sec retary in his decision ssjs: It is immaUrial whether the papers for the same were l-roperlv exec iiled and acknowledged.

Mr. Cleveland, who arrived late, was greeted by a storm of applause. He was recently elected an honorary mem ber of the chamber of commerce, and his toast was to the honorary members. Upon being introduced in a speech by President Smith, Mr. Clevelaud liegun by thanking the body for the honor conferred upon him. He considered himself fortnnnte in thns being con nected with the business included in the organization. Knowledge of the busi ness interests of the country should aid in the duties ef citizenship. It would be a great benefit to the country if more business men were in the national legis lature. Some dangers that beset our political life could then be more safely met. Mr. Cleveland humorously refer red to what had sometimes leen said as to the positions of ei-pre$idciits. Some one suggested that they be token out nud shot He demurred to that idea, and his own suggestion would be that they simply bs left to earn their owu living the same as other people.

A mm who claims to have been the original iuveu tor of the Monitor was sent to the West boro insane hospital yesterday. His nemo is Joseph W. Norcross. His insanity was caused directly by the re fusal of Secretary of the Navy Whitney to adopt a model' for a life boat winch he designed. His wife substantiates his statement that he was tho original designer of the Monitor and says that be submitted bis designs to Gideon Wells, then secretary of the navy, to gether with a model for a gnn turret. He claims that these models it pre turned over to Ericcson, who built the Moni tor. He says he watched the construc tion of the beat nnd told Ericcson that it would sink, ns it was not being built according to his model and the truth of his prediction was verified, though not until he had smile the Merrimno. Nor cross also claims to have first invented the screw propeller and tnistiug block, and that he was the origins! inventor ef the barbed wire fence, models of which j he had on exhibition for a long time j previous to its being adopted, but he has made very little money out of his inventions, localise they were stolen by capitalists. He superintended the build ing of the Rochester viaduct and was offered thesnperiiitendency of construc tion of the Erie canal, lie is reported to have been wealthy once, hut he is a poor man now. He is almost 80 years oiu. Agalnat Hi Liquor Traffic. CniCAOo, Nov. 22.

Wa.hinotos, Nov. 23.- Some of the leading republican members of the home have perfected a plan which tbey believe will result in the immediate set tlement of the four contested election coses. When the house is called together for the first sersiou of the Fifty-first con gress General Clark, the present clork, will preside and will administer the oath to the members. It is not designed to interfere with the administration of the oath to any of the members, but as soon as all those wbosecertilicntes of election are iu the bands of the clerk are sworn iu some republican will move thnt the credentials held by Mcsam. Smith, Mo Ginnis nnd Atkiuton of West Virginia and Mudd of Maryland, be received and that they be given the seats for which Messrs. JoeksoD, Alderson. Pendleton and Compton, reflectively, hold certifi cates. It is argued on the republican sidn that these men were clearly elected and that they nre deprived of their certifi cates by frond. Jt is expected thnt General Clark will lefuse to submit the motion to the honie, whereupon the member who makes the motion will sub mit it himself, nnd as there will be a majority of republicans present it is believed thnt the motion will prevail and that the four gentlemen will be able to bold their seats until the ques tion cnu be judiciously, determined by the proir committee as to the right of the resjiectiva claimants of the seats in question, in other word the scheme is to make coubvitees out of the f )ur contestants, and vice versa. It is argued in support of this plan that the house is, under the constitution, the sole judge of the rights of its own members to the seats wiihin the body ai.d thnt the membois present at the opening of the ceiniug congress csn start iu next month exactly as (lid the first honse of representatives 100 years ago. The move will not be with out precedent, ns nt the oeiiing session of the Twenty-fifth congress three members from New Jersey claimed that they bad beeu defrauded nut of the seats to which they were entitled. The three men holding tiie certificate were sworn iu, whereupon John Quincy Adams moved that the contestants be declared entitled to the seats winch had been given to the contestees. The clerk refused to submit the motion to the bouse and Mr. Adams himself as sumed the responsibility of doing so. The motion was put and carried and three gentlemen were sworn in and they sat through the entire congress. If the plan is successful iu the present caso it will result in increasing the re publican membership to 173 and the re duction of the democratic number to 157. It is not known yet who will be selected to t ike the initiative, but there is certainly a movement of the kind on foot WKSTKRKERS WtX A POINT. Western-candidates -for the speaker ship consider that they have won n good point in having the caucus which is to make the nomination meet nt noon in stead of at night on Snturday of next week. This will give time in' the evcut there is a deadlock or long continued balloting to make combinations, as the caucus, if prolonged, will nniurally ad journ about 5 o'clock iu tho afternoon until 8 o clock iu the evening. The call for the caucus wns taken around to tho candidates first for their signatures by Mr. McComns of Mary land, who in inclined to support a west ern candidate. Colonel Henderson of Iowa wanted the caucus held on Friday night, which would in the event of de lay in making a choice imvb the western candidates more time to make combina tions. 1 ho Situation to-nli-lit is nrni-ti- eally unchanged from . that of tweuty- iour uours since. IOWA AND 1MKOTA CHOPS. The monthly crol) renoi t marln nnli. lia to-day by tho secretary of agricul ture contains me lotion nig in reference to the condition of crops iu Iowa: "Tho drouth beginning in August and extending through tlio remainder ofthesenson has diminished the yield of corn to some extent by causing a shrinkage and a pccnlinr ripening, nud has impaired thequnlity by producing a looseness on tho cobs, or whot is termed 'loose corn." This remark, however, only applies to n part of tho crop, which was backward or where tho drouth was most severe. The remain der is sound aud excellent iu every re spect The hay, although a good crop, is a little short of lost year's yield, owing to insufficient rain early in the season. Ihe quality of tho crop as a whole is good. The following appears for Dakola as a whole: "in the dronth-slricken portions or the state the corn crop is almost it total I'm ".re'0,,t in southeastern and Jthick Hills portion the yield is fair. 1 ohitoes are excellent iu finally, but fur below an average yield.
