Swinging Around the Circle. orresondenceo.'THS Bits. CENTRAL Crrr , Dec. 16. I could not resist , tht , temptation to slip into Senator Evans' otlice at D vii City and talk a few minutes with him over matters and things. There were sev eral present , and there was no such thing as getting a confidential chat with him , and I aoon observed this , so I had to content myself with "straws. " It took no eagle eye to dis cover that Evans is inclined to give caddock and Nance the jjo-by and ship on the anti-monopoly ship. The facts are that Evans is sorely pressed by the farmers of Butler coun ty with threats and arguments that he wo Id not represent his constitu ents by embarking on the Paddock- Nance railroad barque ; that legisla tion for the good of the farmer is demanded and that something ID us ) be done. Then , too , Evans was nol the Nance-Paddock candidate , Col. Roberts , who represented Bii'1 county in the legislature about 1871 , was their fellow and was also strongly pushed by Carns.which fact , nodou t , was what kilted him , and Evans "walked hig lee , " so as to speak. After the convention Nance sent his private secretary t"n conciliate the victorious Evans , and mbsequently at the election , aided by Cams , et al. , flooded the distiict ( Po k and Butler counties , ) with republican tickets bearing tha name of Roberts i list e id of Evans for state senator , a botl , you see , which m5 ht have ended di sastrously to Evans but for the fact that it was discovered before the polls opened. This is still rankling In the bosom of Evans , and everybody hopes it will continue to rankle. D. C Harrison , one of Butler county's ped agogues , and'a very energetic- talker , is canvassing Batler county , rousing up the farmers sgaiast the present ex orbitant rates ot transportation. Pe titions will bo circulated for signatures nnd then forwarded to the Cutler county members of the legislature , aud woe be tohimjwho votes for R. R. tools for senator or who dares to vote against a bill to regulate freight tar ffa At Osceola I only halted a few hours , but learned that Kimmel , or whatever his name is , who was sen ator last year and a willing tool of the railroad companies , is on the track for sergeaut-at-arraa of the setiatt > , do r- kseper of the house , or some nth r place where he could throw bucks tnr Albinns any position th t woulJ pay board and lodging , you know Central City , or Merrick county rather , has one senator ( with H-ll ) , Morse , and one member of the lo\v r house , Hosteller , of her own. The first is said to be for Paddock , and is being daily coached by Hoxie , of the Grand Island land office , and by Will iams , cf the Grand Islaud postoffice , and by the U. .1 * . railroad sharks gen erally , but he may be reclaimed yet by a vigorous application of granger oil , for the Mernck county farmers are opening ut ) on the railroad trans portation question also. As for Hoa- tetter , he is to sensible to do any thing so suicidal , and your correspondent pendent is much mistaken if he docs not turn out to be one of the best members in the house. He is a small man and very youthful , but keep your eye on him he is a good one. My David City letter about the surveying contract given to Richard son to catch Charlie White was fully talked over by two gentlemen on the train to-day , who both agreed that I had it "down fine , " although they did not know that I wan within a thou- tand miles of them. One said that a U. S. surveyor down in Richard'on county was to have had that $5,000 as well as considerable more , and he wai somewhat wrothy when the slice was cut off , and did not understand why it could lie that ho should not uet the whole of it. I ran across the i rack of ] Mj. j. Pearman , of Nebraska City , here. He was no doubt up here looking up customers for his nur sery stock , and had no thoughts of politics or Yan Wyko in his mind. Be is a slick one. I shall spend a day at Columbu * , and then skip back to Lincoln , aud report what ia % o- ing on thereabouts. If I get time I shall step Into the Hon. M. K. Turners' office ana apprise him of the dimensions of a certain petition that will strike him n.Hor.t the second week of his legislative - tivo areerinviting him to sail into the anti-monopoly harbor and to leave "Prtddock first and Nance second" and take a reef in his coat-tail BO as to take it out of the roach of Dave Loveland - land and go In for home rule" that is fir his constituents first and the New York and Boston capitalists after wards. I am on track of a chap who has said when in a drunken stupor that Nance had promised him that as soon as the chip aforesaid should register his vote in a satisfactory manner on the senatorial qupation the deputy wardenehip of the penitentiary would fea at the command of the aforesaid chap , who is elected to rep resent ,1 certain county in the central part of the state. Aa the position of deputy warden las never been filled , there may be , and no doubt is , good grounds for he opinion that such a trade would ) e made. If tht. superintendent of he insane hospital and the superin- tendency of all the state institutions : an be made to bring in a vote for tfance they will all go and don't you 'or gut it. FREQUENTLY. WASLiESTGTOK' < John A. Kasson Tak s the Lead in the Eaoe for the Speakership. The Honse Passes the Mil itary Academy Ap propriation Bill. HOUSE. Special Dispatches to The Bee. WASHINGTON , December 18. When the house met this morning a number of gentlemen addressed the speaker with a view of offering bills or other miscellaneous business , but the regu lar order of the day was promptly de manded , with a view of disposing of the pending appropriation bills. The house went into committee of the whole on the military appropriation bill , with Mr. Reagan in the chair. Mr. Forney , of Alabama , t.ho had charge of the bill , explained brifly thaf it made a total appropriation § 322,000 against § 116,000 for the cur rent fiscal year. The Increase this year was owing to the increase of the § alciriuj of professors at the military academy. After this brief explanation the bill was/ read by paragraphs for amend ment. ment.When When the clause relative to the de partment of law was reached , Mr. Conger moved to strike out the pro vision allowing the secretary of war to assign any army officer as protestor of law at the academy. Tne committee rose and reported the bill , which passed as it came from Conger. The house then went into committee of the whole on the consular bill , which appropriates § 1,190,000 , an in1 crease of $10,000 over last year. Tins led to a long and spirited de bate , after which the bill was read for amendment , but none being offered the committee rose and reported the bill to the house. The vote was Yeas 140 , nays 2 McMillan and O. Turner. No quorarn. Adjourned until Monday. TUB OKLAHOMA AMBASSADOR. Special Ida patch to The Bee. WASHINGTON , December 20,1 a. m. Dr. Robert M. Wilton , ambassador from the Oklahoma colonists , arrived here Sunday , and registered at the Tremont house , the headquarters for vial ing ludi/tus. v Heiaa prepossess ing man , over six feet in heighth , aud wears a long gray beard. His cos tume consists ot a blue flannel shirt , in the bosom of which are diamonds as large as pea , a white felt hathigh top boots and buckskin pints.

THE RACE FOR THE GAVEL. Special disjutch to TUB BKB. WAS I.VGTO.V , December 20 1 a. m Since ihis session of congress be gan , there has been a great deal o cmcuwng among republican repre tentative1 * overtha subject of the next speakership. There are three promt nent candidates in the field Messrs Kisson , Frje , and Conger. There are several other representatives no ; without hope that the choice may fal upon their heads. In this Hat are Kelly , Keifer , Hiscock , Boyle , Bur rows , Hubbell and MnKinley. Mr Robeson would probably be a caudt date for the apeakorahip if ho was not quite confident of being elected to th senate from New Jersey to succeed Mr. Randolph. For some reason th impression has gained ground that Mr. Kasson has the inside track in th race. Mr. Kasson's strength consists in his past prestige as a pirty leader and his familiarity withpirliamcntarj rule-j and practices. It Is only within a few days that Mr. Frye has decided t > make a fight for the speakership , He was of the opinion that the plac would naturally go to a western man and , moreover , enter tained strong hopes of being elected to the senate to succeed Senator Ham lin. Now affairs are completely changed , and it is bel'eved that Mr Qamlin will be re-elected to the sen ate by the Maine legislature , as he al ready has a lead of ten or fifteen bal lots over Mr. Frye. ' The Suffarlne OolonJats. Special Diapatch to The Bee CHICAGO , Decembsr 20 1 a. m. A newspaper correspondent who ha visited the Connemam colony , con firms the reports of suffering aud want previously sent by Mr Hutch ins , the referee sent to the colony by Bishop Ireland. The correspondent after relating cares of Buffering from sickness , lack of medicine , food cbthing , bedding , etc. , says the actua condition of these unfortunate and wronged people his never been fnlli described in its giunt aud cruel aw fulness , to say nothing of being ex aggerated. These people are m need of immediate assistance. Nothing but corn meal and frozen potatoes ha been furnished them by the priest The outfit of clothing from Morri was liberal , and the first they had re caived since they loft Ireland , and will lasc for some time. Fuel and food are neededthe former especially , A spaci.il dispatch from Bishop Ire land , at St. Paul , expresses disbe lief in these reports. He says his referee , Mr. Hodges , fell into the hands of the people of Morris , and his report was influenced accordingly. Ho asks suspension of judgment until his representative , Dillon O'Brien , makea bis report , which will be in a few days. FOREIGN EVENTS.

Parnell Has Decided Not to Attend the Opening ofParliament , Anarchy and Sedition Reigns Throughout the Realm of the Sultan. NIHILISTIC STUDENTS. . peclal Diapitch to TUK.BKK. LONDON , December 19 10 p. m. A Moscow dispatch gives a brief ac count of another of the disturbances between the students of the universi ty and the authorities , which period cally takes place there. It seemed that the existence of ait organization within the iuatitution , supposed to be nihilistic in its tendencies , wai re cently discovered , In which a large body of the students and many of the professors and teachers were con cerned. An explanation of its char acter was demaudad by the govern ment , and refused by the rectory , whereupon a large force of police and soldiers surrounded the university buildings and demanded admission. The students , apparently encouraged by the rector , forcibly resisted , lock ing the gates and doors. The police then assumed the offensive , and a riot ensued , resulting in the arrest and imprisonment of four hundred of the students. The Moscow universi ty is a state institution , under the authority of the minister of public in atruction and has usually about H teen hundred students and one huu dred professors and teachers. PASSIVE PARNELL. An Irish nationalist member of par llament says that as matters concernIng - . Ing the state trials are now arranged by the land league , Mr. Parnell will not insist upon attending the opening of parliament , on January 6th , aj he did intend doing , even at the risk ot personal collision with the govern ment authorities. His reneons for making the change is , that he hopps , by succumbing to tha government &u- toritiea , they may bet induced to post pone the trial and so enable him arid the other indicted leaguers to reach parliament In time far the opening. SPANISH CREIID. PARIS , December 19 , 10 p. m. A Madrid correspondent telegraphs as follows : Captaiua of Amercan ves sels have had to complain of heavy tines inflicted for the slightest irregu larity in manifests and ship paper. In the recant c < ise of an American vessel that entered a Spanish port in distres * , with a cargo not destined for a per- ninsular or colonial port of Spain , ad vantage was taken of her position and a most exh rbitant fine exacted by the Spanish custom house officers. Some time ago Ei-gland obtained , by a per emptory demand , a repeal of this law as related to English shipping , and n like move will have to be mide by the imericau government if it wishes to give protection to Us commerce in this part of the globe. ACTIVE NIHILISTS. LONDON , December 20 , 1 a. m. A St. Petersburg correspondent says : 'The important arrests recently made in Khairdoff have had a very disquiet ing effect on the authorities , already sutHcieutly uneasy at the commence ment of the winter suasou , vrhit-h , for many reasons , the nihilists prefer for their more active operations. The number of false passports , proclama tions and pamphlets , seized together with revolvers and other arms , cive a strong proof of the determination of the remnants of the party to continue their desperate struggle. " THE CRUMBLING EMPIRE. A Constantinople correspondent says : ' "From Macedonia the most heartrending accounts of the condition o ? the people continue to be received ; and the Turks there are carrying on a system of extermination , different only lu degree from the havoc they wrought in Batnk four years age. In Armenia things have not improved , but on the contrary they seem every day to be growing worse and worse. The central gov eminent here is perfectly paralyzed , and does nothing. Anarchy reigns comple everywhere , and the poor people ple are ground down by exorbitant demands for money. Where this will end no one can foretell , but aasumliy it cannot continue for a very lout ; time. The end of it must come some day , but if Europe doea not interfere promptly to improve thing ? , it is too dreadful to think what the con equen ces must be. T.te Turkish government has never been free from corruption , but now it pervades all classja of offi cials from the highest to the lowest. The city is infested day and night by thieves and robbers , and the police are united with them in plundering the people. There is perfect stagna tion in business , nnd the courts are little better than dens of thieves and extortionists. It. has always been sap- posed that the question will never bo settled by the European pjwers , but that the solution will have to be found by the nationalists who inhabit this empire. If war breaks out in the spriug , some terrible convulsions will be witnessed in the Bilkan peninsula , which will arouse Europe from its in difference , and force the powers to take action of some kind. " RUSSIA'S PATH TO THE ORIENT. Special Dispatch to tbe Bra. LONDON , December 19 10 p. m A St. Petersburg dispatch states that Russia has ordered four regiments of cavalry and fare battalions of infantry to proceed to the assistance of the Persians against the Kurd * This action settles all doubt us to Rtisju's purpose to make an ally of P.-raia it the matter of the rou e to India Considerable feeling over it is nuni- ftsfed in political and government circles here.

At thetlma the lire broke out in liurge & Soi.'a wall pip.rmanu- tactory Frid.y night , one huuured and sixty men and boys were at work on the upper fi OH. The employes were working over time on account of ttie pressure > f business , and intended to remain until 9 o'clock. The alarm was given througoiit the building , but the fire blocked all avenues of escape , and before the panic-stricken em ployes could make their exit , demo volumes of smoke rolled up the stair way , and the two elevators were draughtchimneysfortheflimes. Theaa elevators run from the ground to the top of the building five stones , and a column of flames thot up each , and drove the maddened , shouting boys to the windows. No outer fire escapes were attached to thebuildiiig , and the terrible alternative of death by fire or being crushed on the icy pavements fifty leet below , presented itself. The foreman of the fifth fl tor , and aomeof the boys . ho worked in the front part of the shop , leaped from the front wmdoTs on Perry street , unu two were killed.
