Last week work was begun on tho
grading of tho Rock Island route to
Lincoln from Omaha. Lincoln has
voted the $5,000 bonds , and .there is
now nothing to prevent the road from
building right into the Capital City.
The Union Pacific tracks will be used
by the Rock Island out of and into
Omaha and tho Union Pacific will use a
portion of the new Rock Island track.
The road commences about five miles
from Omaha , leaving the Union Pacific
track at Albright , crossing tho track
near Gilmore , and continuing southeast
across Sarpy county , crossing the Mis
souri Pacific between Springfield and
Louisville , and the Platte river at South
Bend. There it goes southwest to Lin

Adjudicating : Pension Claims.
Washington , July 2. The old sol
diers who are entitled to pensions un
der the dependent bill just approved by
the president are likely to have their
claimsadjudicated promptly. It is
estimated that under this law fully a
quarter of a million persons will be
added to the pension rolls. General
Raum , commissioner of pensions , who
is making every possible effort to meet
this emergency , says : "An additional
allowance of some 440 clerks has been
asked for , because the present force
has all it can do now. The new law
will , according to tho senate estimate ,
put 300,000 more cases on tho rolls.
Of course this calculation is more or
less liable to be inaccurate. In any
event , it would be impossible for the
present force to handle all this extra
work in addition to what they are do
ing now , and so I have asked for more
clerks. v
' 'There are to be ten more principal
examiners , I believe , and the others are
to be divided through the various grades
oi clerks. No new division is to be
sreated , but the work will be so
livided that cases under the new law
ivill move right along abreast of the
3ld cases. It would be unjust to make
jlaimants under this latest act wait and
take their turn. So instead of putting
the new cases behind the rest we will
begin work on them at once and carry
them right through as fast as possible.
"Cases that are well presented and
n which are no unfavorable conditions
nay be got through and adjudicated in
i month , and I should think be issued
just as soon as the president signed the
Jill.
"Thousands of pamplets containing
, ho text of the act , the rules governing
he cases under it , and blank forms for
slaimants are being sent to tho Grand
Irmy posts for the information of
nembers. "

ure , State Entomologist S. A. Forbes

labits and characteristics of tho new

hat these flies damage the wheat by

imes having four broods in a year.

Fonrtli In Washington.
The Congressional Programme.
Washington , July 5. From this
time forward tho house will devote it
self to tho settlement of contested
election cases , the original package ,
bankruptcy and a few unimportant
measures which have passed the sen
ate. The work of tho ho uso is vir
tually done for this session , aside from
conference work on tho tariff and sil
ver. The republican senators will de
termine in caucus early next week tho
crder of business in view of a clash be
tween tho tariff and the river and har
bor bills. If it is determined that tho
election bill shall follow rivers and
harbors , silver and tho tariff , no ono
can estimate tho length of the session
or forecast tho result of the tariff do-
bate , but if it should be concluded that
the elections bill shall go over to the
next session , it is stated on the best
democratic authority and the republi
cans who object to features of the tariff
bill that it can be passed within ten
days from tho time it is taken up in
the senate. Tho fact that there is a
strong demand from tho business men
of the country for the speedy disposi
tion of tho tariff , so that orders for fall
and winter trade may issue , will bo tho
strongest argument in favor of post
ponement of the elections bill till next
session.
The Original Package Substitute Bill *
Washington , July 5. Tho friends
of the proposed substitute for the origi
nal package bill reported by the house
judiciary committee expect to call up
that measure next week and hope to
pass it. Senator Wilson says of tho
substitute that ho fears that it is un
necessarily wide in its scope , and it
is said that Speaker Reed favors only
a measure restricted to intoxicating
liquors. The bill meets with considera
ble objection on account of its very
much enlarged scope , and despite the
confident claims of its friends there is
more than a reasonable doubt of its
passage. A measure similar in its far-
reaching effects was proposed in the
senate , but it was generally agreed
that it would be much wiser to con
fine legislation exclusively to the im
portation of intoxicating liquor in
original packages , so that even if
the substitute should pass the house
it would be amended to its original
shape in the senate , and a long and
tedious conference would ensue , which
woald jeopardize all legislation on
the subject.
The Indians Arc Jubilant.
Chambeklain , S. D. , July 5. Tho
Lower Brule Indians are highly pleased
over the result of tho recent protest
against the government surveyors who
are now engaged in running the bound
ary lines of their reservation. A short
time ago the Indians made a complaint
that the new survey did not give them
the land to which they are entitled.
The principal cause of complaint was
in regard to the southern boundary of
their lands , they claiming that the line
was located three miles north of the
proper point.
The Sioux bill , under which the Sioux
reservation was opened to settlement ,
requires that the south lino of the
Brule reservation shall be on a direct
line west from old Fort Lookout. The
ruins of this old fort are nearly oblit
erated , and this fact caused the mis
take. The surveyor general was ap
pealed to and he has just succeeded in
Bnding the correct location of the fort ,
and it was , as claimed by tho Indians ,
three miles south of the point from
ivhich the surveyors commenced work.
Another line will be established and
the Indians will receive possession of
the strip claimed by them. The con
tested three mile strip contains exten
sive coal fields which will now belong
to the Indians.
The Fourth In Washington.
Washington , July 5 Statesmen
svho remained in Washington yesterday
nerely discussed the outlook for the
ldmission of additional states into the
jnion , and they were unanimous in the
; onclusion that no more will come in
sooner than tho Fifty-third congress ,
'our years hence. There are but four
remaining territories Arizona , New
Mexico , Utah and Oklahoma. The
[ ndian territory and Alaska are now
jut provinces , without representation
ii congress. It will take four years ,
jven in the proposed land title court ,
: o clear up the titles to the lands in
Arizona-and New Mexico , and till that
s done statehood is impracticable.
Ehe anti-Mormon laws will likely put
Jtah in the proper social state for
itatehood by tho Fifty-third congress ,
md not till that time is it believed
Oklahoma will have sufficient popula-
ion for statehood. Indian territory
md Alaska will come in last , and the
atter , it is thought , will make the fif-
ieth state.
flic Admission of Wyoming the Sub
ject of Great Rejoicing.
Newcastle , Wyo. , July 5. Tho
jnthusiasm over statehood found vent
-esterday in tho 4th of July cele-
> ration , and although a later jubilee
s on tho program , it gave a joyous
' eeling which made the Outburst of
: oday exceed all . expectation. For
*
three or four days tho business men
havo been decorating and tho com-
mitteo working liko beavers with
bunting and flags , until tho city this
morning resembles a mass of patri
otic colors. The street parndo was
more imposing than is usual in cities
many times our size. Tho Newcastle
cornet band led , followed by tho
Grand Army of tho Republic and tho
city council. Then came a magnifi
cent car covered with tho national
colors , with a pyramid crowned with
a cupalo and an American eagle , car
rying 44 prettily-dressed girls , repre
senting tho states of the union. Tho
now state of Wyoming was repre
sented by a child in a gorgeously-
bedecked carriage , with an eagle on
top , carrying a star bearing tho fig
ures " 43. " Next followed twelve
ladies on horseback , dressed in red
skirts , white waists and blue caps ,
their horses wearing colored collars
with tho names of Wyoming counties ,
a long lino of carriages and pedes
trians following.
Kcminler Must Die.
Auburn , N. Y. , July 5. William
Kemmler , the Buffalo murderer , left
here at 7 a.m. in charge of Warden
Dursten and Keeper Mike Naughton
for Buffalo , where tho sentence of
death by electrocution will again bo
pronounced. The murderer's appear
ance has not changed noticeably since
his last trip to Buffalo , and ho was
apparently less concerned than his
guards. Ho will return to prison to
night.
It was 2:05 o'clock when Officer
Daniel MacNaughton led Kemmeler
into tho aupremo court. Judge Childs
entered a few minutes later. War
den Dursten took a seat within tho
rail. Tho courtroom was crowded ,
many standing up to see what was
believed to be the last act in Buffalo
of tho murderer's career. Kemmler
was dressed in a neat grey suit and
carried a natty black derby hat. His
dark-brown mustache , grown thicker
since he was here before , was clipped
short and became him well. His
hair was carefully brushed. His man
ner was unconcerned , though he look
ed fully alivo to his terrible position.
"Mr. district attorney , " said Judge
Childs , "havo you any business be
fore the court ? "
AsssistantDistrictAttorney Marcy
moved for sentence on William Kem-
ler.
"Kemmler , you may stand up , ' * said
the judge. The prisoner stood up.
He pulled his vest into shape then put
his hands behind his back and gazed
intently at the judge. There was a
humble , deprecatory look upon his face
now. Judge Childs told him that all
the appeals taken in the effort to save
his life had failed.
"Yes sir , " said Kemmler obediently.
"Have you anything to say ? " pur
sued the judge , "why a time should
not be fixed for carrying out tho sen
tence previously pronounced upon
you ? "
A moment's pause , and then : "No ,
sir. "
The judge continuing , said he hoped
the long delay had given the prisoner
time for deliberation on the enormity
of his offense and the justice of his
conviction. He concluded as follows :
"All the court now has to say is that
the sentence heretofore passed upon
you bo carried into effect within tho
week beginning August 4 , 1890 , and
may God have mercy upon you. "
No opposition was made to the sen
tence. Judge Child's voice faltered in
its delivery. Ho spoke in the most
impressive manner ; Kemmler betrayed
no emotion. He sat down and glanced
right and left at his guardians , then
out through a window at tho dancing
sunlight , and a moment later was led
away. He returned to Auburn to
night.
Aeronaut's Horrible Death.
St. Louis , July 6. A special from
Beardstown , 111. , says : Prof. Samuel
Black , the aeronaut , met with a horri
ble death at that place. When at a
height of 400 feet he signaled that he
was about to descend , but something
seemed to have gone wrong with his
parachute. A few minutes later a
stream of smoke was seen issuing from
the parachute , which in a few seconds
burst into a flame , severing tho para
chute from the baloon , and the aero
naut was seen falling through the air
at a frightful speed. Half an hour
later his body was found , horribly
mangled , about a mile from the scene
ji the ascent. It is supposed that the
parachute caught fire from sparks f ron >
i mill near by.

11n tho senate on the 30th tho houso
bill in relution to oaths in pension and
other cases was passed. Tho house bill
for tho admission of Idaho as a state
was then taken up for consideration.
The bill having been read Mr. Morrill
gave notice that ho would at tho ear
liest practical moment movo to take up
tho tariff bill. . Mr. Teller remarked
that tho tariff bill could not possibly bo
taken up this week , as the senate would
probably adjourn from Thursday till
Monday and probably tho Idaho bill
would not bo disposed of this week.
The report having been read , tho Idaho
bill was temporarily laid aside and tho
agricultural appropriation bill token
up. There aro a few amendments.
Mr. Coke moved to add to tho para
graph for investigating the history and
habits of insects § 25,000 for investigat
ing tho history of and remedies for the
cotton ball worm. Agreed to. Tho
bill then passed. In tho houso
Mr. Breckenridgo of Kentucky pre
sented the credentials of W. W. Dick
enson as representative-elect to fill
tho vacancy occasioned by the resigna
tion of Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Dickenson
then took tho oath of office. Tho de
bate on tho federal election bill was
then resumed , Mr. Herbert of Idaho
being accorded the floor. Mr. Herbert
dwelt on tho construction laws and
said that by them tho negro had been
taught to distrust tho southern whito
man. Tho negro was now learning
that it was not for his interest to array
himself solidly against tho white man
and tho whito man was doing every
thing in his power to teach the negro
this lesson. If the south was allowed
to work out the problem for itself the
time would soon come when the negro ,
being educated as the white man was ,
would bo able to take care of himself ,
both as a taxpayer and as a citizen.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Honk.
Coleman , Burrows , Chipman , and oth
ers , but definite action was not taken.
In the senate on the 1st Mr. Morgan
introduced a bill providing that no
person shall enter any public lands in
Wyoming under the homestead or other
laws who is a bigamist or polygamist ,
or who teaches , counsels , aids or en
courages others to enter into bigamy
or polygamy , or who is a member of
any association that teaches polygamy.
Referred to committee on public lands.
The conference committee on the legis
lative appropriation bill reported that
it was unable to agree on the pay of
senators' clerks and committee clerks ,
and new conferees were appointed.
The Idaho admission bill was re
sumed and Mr. Vance spoke in oppo
sition to it. The bill then passed with
out division. A message from the
house , announcing that it had resolved
to adhere to its disagreements to the
legislative appropriation bill was pre
sented by Mr. Dawes of the conference
committee , who stated that the house
declined to confer further. After a
leng discussion the senate refused to
recede from its amendments by
a vote of 21 to 10. In
tho house consideration of the
federal election bill was resumed.
Mr. Lodge offered an amendment to
tho bill providing that as soon as the
certificate of the board was made pub
lic any person who was a candidate for
election may by motion before the
United States circuit court having jur
isdiction in the district , contest the
correctness of the certificate made by
the board and demand an examination
and compilation of tho returns. The
returning officers shall produce before
the circuit court all the returns , re
ports , tickets and all evidence on
which it acted in advance in awarding
tho certificates. The circuit court
shall thereupon determine and certify
the person shown entitled to the cer
tificate ; also an amendment providing
that if there be an appeal from the de
'
cision of the United States board of
canvassers to the circuit court the
clerk of the house shall place on the
foils as representative-elect the name
af the person certified by said court as
entitled to the seat. The amendment
ivas agreed to. Mr. Buckalew of Penn
sylvania moved to strike out section
58 , which changes the law so as to
? lace the selection of jurors in the
lands of the clerks of courts. Adopted
yeas , 140 ; nays , 134. Messrs. Frank ,
Harmon , Lehlback and Lind voted
vith the democrats in the affirmative.
In the senate on tho 2d Mr. Hiscock
jailed up his motion to consider the

ative appropriation bill. The motion
