Elevator Case Corning Up.
Lincoln dispatch : With the advance
of the maximum rate cases in the supreme
premo court of the United States for
hearing early next spring the attorne3
general hoped also to have the case
which is popularly known as the Elm
wood elevator case also advanced and
decided.
11'1tle the principle involved in the
maximum rate cases is conceded to beef
of the first importance , that involved
in the elevator case is scarcely less im
portant This , if the contention of the
railroad company is upheld by the
courts , will give to railroad companies
the power to control a monopoly of the
grain trade on their lines and farm it
out to favorites or use it for the purpose -
pose of swelling the revenue of the
company.
The case originated from the Missouri -
souri Pacific declining to grant to an
applicant privileges necessary to enable
him to put up and operate an elevator
at the station of Elmwood. The ground
on which the application was resisted
by the company was that there was
already an elevator at that point and
that its capacity was suflicient to accommodate -
commodato the busiiness of the sur-
ronnding country.

Damages for the Dawsoes
Lincoln dispatch : A mild side issue
to the international complications bet -
t tween the united States and England
developed today in the office of Gover-
i nor Holcomb. This was a bulky pack-
age from the Department of State ,
11'ashington , containing a claim against
the federal government for 40,000.
This is the amount held to be due the
Dawson family for the assault Committed -
mitted upon them over a year ago in
Sarpy county by the Vic McCarty rang.
In this letter to Gov. Holcomb Secretary -
tary of State Olney says that the affair
is one of serious importance at the
present juncture , and that , so farr as
he knows , no steps have been taken to
punish the McCarty outfit for this particular -
ticular crime. He acknowledges the
receipt of the transcript of the proceedings -
ings had in the unofficial inquiry ordered -
dered by Governor llolcomb , but does
not understand that any attempt at
punishment has been made. The
British ambassador files a elaim'as follows -
lows : For Frederick B. Dawson , $2G-
000 ; for Mary Dawson , his wife , $10,000 ;
and for Muriel. Dawson , the daughter ,
$10,000 , making a total of $40,000.
Title is Defective.
Lincon dispatch : The oTce of the
commissioner of public lands and buildings -
ings has received a plat of section 30 ,
township 24 , range 39 , west , in Grant
county. This plat shoFvs that the new
survey by the government does not correspond -
respond with the old one , a strip of
forty rods width being taken off the i
north side of the section. This is interesting -
teresting to the state std those who
have taken land in that section under
contract for lease or sale.
A nrserssnox of the conflict between
the state constitution and the statute
relative to the time when districtjudges
shall assume their offices has led to
some conjectures as to how the state
auditor would draw the warrants of
the outgoing judges. The statute attempts -
tempts to say that the district judges
shall assume the duties of their office
on January 1 next 'succeeding their
election. The constitution provides
that they shall go into office'on the
first Thursday after the first Tuesday
in January next afterr their election.
The state auditor , it is announced , will
draw the warrants so as to pay the old
judges up to and including January 8 ,
and the new set to come into office the
next day.
Victimized Elk Creek People.
Tecumseli dispatch : The good people -
ple of Elk Creek were recently quite
liberally humbwzged by a sleek trav
eing agent The man claimedto be
an agent for an Omaha paper , and
when he would accost a victim he
would have in his possession what
seemed to be an elegant pair of gold
spectacles , claiming to have found them
on the. train. Of course , he had no use
for them and would therefore sell them
for a nominal sum. Invariably the unsuspecting - _
suspecting victim would bite and ae-
, cordinghy the agent disposed of nurner-
ous pairs of glasses The glasses were
of no value.
THE BOND BILL PASSED ,

Time Certificates.
:
l'ASIIIxfTOx , Dee. 30.-When the
llousc'convened today three hours rc
maiued for debate on the bond bill.
At 3 p in. voting began. By the
time the roll call in the first section
was half through , it was thought that
not enough Republicans would vote
against the fiat section for bonds to
defeat it.
The first roll call resulted : Yeas ,
1.9 ; nays ; 1s2. Probably forty-four
Republicans voted against the bill.
On another roll call the first section
of the bond bill passed by a vote of
100 to 13 j.
the second section of the bond bill
passed without a division.
Mr. lirosius , Republican , of Penn-
sy lvanint opened in favor of the bill.
This was the only country on the
globe , he said , where gold redemption
had neither qualification nor limitation -
tion , and where the treasury was
without the power to resist the incursions -
cursions of foreign gold grabbers or
domestic speculators. The revenue
deficit was the chief sinner in the
comedy of errors which had produced
the present troubles. It was not
suitable to the dkgnity of the government -
ment to employ sleuth ] mounds of foreign -
eign synlicates to hunt down gold.
The people of this country should
have the first opportunity to help the
treasury out of the tough financial sea.
lie declared that there was no politics
in the bill.
Mi Parker , Republican , of New
Jersey favored the bill as a good business -
ness iireasnre.
Mr. Cannon , Republican , of Illinois ,
in support of the measure , declared
that it was a bill to maintain specie
payments , which had been resumed
under the wise direction of the Republican -
lican party in 18 : ) . For the 13 years
following the resumption the revenues
had always exceeded the expenditures.
: Twelve hundred million dollars of the
interest paying debt had been dis-
charged. Since ? Ili : Cleveland's elee-
tion in 1892 deficiency , distress , idle-
hess and panic had followed. Instead
of paying 100 millions a year ou the
public debt the Democrats had borrowed -
rowed 161 millions. They could tear
down and criticise , but they could not
build up the reserve. ( Republican
applause , )
"Il'c will not abridge the power of
time Secretary of the Treasury , " lie
continued. "We will give him nior.Y . ,
power. lie cannot have too much
power if it is used wisely. You , on
the other side , will , vote against this
bill-those in favor of silverat ] 6 to 1
-because you want to impair the
credit of the country and force us to a
silver basis ; those who support the administration -
ministration , because it wants gold
bonds. 1Ve , in our judgment and patriotism -
triotism stand ready to pass this bill.
If it is rejecaeh by the Senate , or President -
ident , weshall , at least , have cast our
mite toward the protection of the
public credit and have given a prophecy -
ecy of what we shall do when we
come into full power in 1837. " ( Re-
publhcan applause. )
fir. Tawney , Republican of Minnesota -
seta , a member of the ways and means
committee , in support of the bill ,
called attention to the President's urgent -
gent appeal to Congress to do something -
thing before adjourning. Ile knew ,
and everybody knew , that gold bonds
would not be authorized by Congress ,
and because Congress will not gise
him authority , he and his Secretary of
time Treasury had already , opened ne-
gothatious withr the same old malodorous -
ous syndicate for another issue of 4
Per cent bonds. The people of the
country were to be given no opportunity -
nity to subscribe. lie read several
Letters from constituents offering to
subscribe for gold bonds.
Mr. Marsh , Republican , of Illinois ,
arose to give his reasons for refusing
his support to the bill , but before he
had finished his preliminary remarks
the gavel of the sneaker fell and the
House remained unenlightened.
Mr. Burton , Republican , of Missouri ,
and 11r. Connolly , Republican , of Illinois -
inois , who have been counted on as
opponents of the bill , gave their support -
port to it in brief speeches.
The debate was closed for the respective - i
spective sides by Messrs. Crisp and
Dalrell , the former insisting that the
bill was a political measure really intended -
tended to embarrass the treasury ,
while time latter said it was a plain
business proposition to save interest.
Air. Dalzell attacked the Carlisle interview -
terview as a violation of the decencise
of public life.

THE RAMSEY CASE.
Bondsnmon of the Late Treasurer of
Illinois Sued for Thousands.
CARLYLE , Ill. , Dec. 30.-Next Thursday -
day the suit against the Chicano bondsmen - I
men of the late State Treasurer Ramsey -
sey of Illinois , will be heard. It is
important to hundreds of depositors
in the Ramsey bank , ps on the result
will depend whether or not they will '
receive back the money placed in the
hands of one tvlto was highly esteemed
as a townsman and official and who
was thought to be wealthy.
The sut is to test time validity of the
claim of the five Chieagobondsmcn for
$303,000 , representing the amount due
the State from Mr. Ramsey , which
they paid into the treasury to make
good the shortage. It is said the Chicago - ,
cage banks paid no interest to Mr. '
Ramsey for the use of the State money !
and therefore the creditors here are
entitled to it. An attempt will be
made to prove this point at the eoming
suit.

tided checks and a large sum of money
had been stolen. Mrs. Burden was
unable to tell just what was missing ,
but said that at least $05,000 worthh of
diamonds and jewelry had been carried
away.
Irish Manufacturers Alarmed.
L ( lanoN , Dec. i0. - Although the
general opinion is expressed in the
cable dispatches from the United
States that the tariff revision bill is
not likely to pass the Senate , the
measure has caused quite a flutter in
commercial circles. An Irish industrial -
trial organ points out that the proposed -
posed increase in the duty on woolens
will inevritably ' check a growing.
trade , and that Irishm industries will
suffer in consequence. Owing to the
great interest excited in Irish goods i
by time exhibits made at time world's'
fair , large orders have been placed
with the inlils and hand loom weavers
in remote districts of Donegal. All
this development would be stifled by
time adoption of the tariff revision bill.
Trouble ( aver Misod Schools.
PERRY , Oh. , Dce. 3C-Trouble may
occur over mixed public schools here.
A recent decision admits colored children -
dren to all public schools of the city.
The school board and nearly all the
white people are bitterly opposed to
mixed schools and the board will order -
der schools discontinued as a last resort -
sort , to prevent mixed schools. Considerable -
siderable feeling and indignation over
the matter is expressed and trouble
may yet occur. A stormy meeting of
the board was held last night. 'l'he
colored people declare that they will
have the rights as given them by the
court.
An Official flint to General Miles.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 30.-An order
issued by the Secretary of War , which i
reminded army officers that it is extremely -
tremely impolitic to publicly discuss
the possibilities of war , is construed
by the friends of Major General Miles
as a roundabout thrust at that officer.
General Miles has recently written an
excellent article over his signature
regarding the possibility of war with
England as a result of the Venezuelan +
affair ,
Gomez Again in Santa Clara.
H.tVANA , Dee. 30.-Reports would

Debate on Bonds.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 29.-A conference
was held between Speaker Reed anti
the house managers to-day and the
result was an agreement for a vote on
the bond bill at 3 o'clock to-morrow ,
instead of 5 o'clock to-day.
A further arrangement was made
that the ways and means commmittee ,
before reporting the bill , shall insert
a clause showing that it is not time
purpose to retire the greenbacks. It
was also arranged that there shall be
separate votes-one on the proposition
for a $ .0,000,000 bond issue and another -
other on the unlimited issue. The
conference was satisfactory to all etc-
meats and the concessions made overcame -
came the protests against haste , which
led last niglmt to the appointment of a
committee of Republican members to
watt on Speaker Reed.
'lime ways and means committee
adopted the amendmuent to the bond
bill suggested by Mr. llopkins of
Illinois to prevent time accumulation in
the Treasury of the greenbacks and
their practical retirementwithout cau-
cellation. 'Time amendment provides
that nothing in time act shall be construed -
strued to repeal or modify the act of
1878 for the reissue of the greenbacks
when redeemed.
Another amendment was adopted
making the bonds issued under the
act payable within fifteen years. The
second amendment was suggested by
Mr. Lacey of Iowa and met the ap
proval of the Republican members.
In the original draft of the bill it was
provided that the bonds should be redeemable -
deemable at the pleasure of time government -
ernment , after five years from their
date. It was thought best to make a
definite termination of them. The
amendments were adopted by a strict
party vote and the bill will be reported -
ed to the house as amended.
Mr. Tarsney of Missouri offered an
amendment to repeal the act of 1873
for reissuing time greenbacks , but failed
to get any support for it.
The amendment agreed to by the
ways and medmis commimittec providing
that the greenbacks should be reissued
is considered a great concession to dissatisfied -
satisfied ones.
The battle over the bond bill attracted -
tracted large crowds to the House galleries -
leries again today. As soon as time
journal lmad been approved , Mr. Ding.
ley , chairman of the ways : knit means
committee , reported the bond bill as
amended by time ways and means committee -
mittee to-day , and it was referred tc
the committee of the whole on the
state of the Union.
Mr. Daniel , Republican , of New
York , chairman of time first committee
on elections rose to a question of privilege -
ilege and nmadc a unanimous report in
favor of seating Hugh R. Belknap in
place of Lawrence E. McGann from
the Third Illinois district. MiMc -
Gann had decided lie was not entitled
to a seat and there was , therefore , no
contest over the matter. The report
was adopted and Mr. Belknap was
sworn in.
Mr. Henderson of Iowa , from the
committee on rules , presented the rule
for the consideration of the bond bill.
Mi . Crisp opposed time adoption of
the rule. Yesterday , said he , a general -
eral tariff bill , Lute exact effect of
which on particular industries , and on
the revenues no one knew , had been
rushed through the house. To-day it
had been proposed to rash through a
bond bill in the same summary uiami-
ner , but time murmurings of discontent
on the Republican side had forced the
autocrat of time house anti the so-
called leaders to yield a little mnoi e
time. he admonished the other side
that it was only by resistance that
they could obtain their rights.
Mr. Bailey , Democrat , of Texas ,
agreed in a general way to the proposition -
sition that there could not be a great
abuse of the privilege of debate on
public questions and that the prime
factor was a vote , but , lie said , while
useless debate should be restricted ,
full and fair debate was essential.
Yesterday , with four hours' debate , a
bill which would burden the people
with $40,000,000 of additional taxes ,
was pas-ed. 1'o-day time performance
was to be repeated , but this time posterity -
terity was to be saddled with an interest -
terest bearing debt of no one knew
how many millions. The country , he
said. would no more tolerate precipitate -
tate haste than it would undue delay.
fir. McMillan , Democrat. of Tennessee -
see , asked why time Republican leaders
proposed to cut their associates oft
without opportunity to offer amend-
ments. Were those in authority afraid
of their associates ? Would tlmey not
be trusted to no anything but vote ?
When the twenty minutes allowed
the Democratic side had been consumed -
sumed , Mr. henderson , who was in
; hargc of the rule. without making
any reply to the criticisms from the
ether side , demanded a vote on the
adoption of the rule , which was taken
by yeas and nays.
