CHICAUO , April 13. The fight in the
congressional districts embraced in Chicago
cage and Cook county , which yesterday
resulted in the defeat of Logan in tlueo
out of four , moans more than opposition to
Logan's presidential aspirations. If that
were all , Collector Spalding , ox- Con
gressman Farwoll , and Congressman
Davis would probably have been content
to lot him take off the empty honor of all
four _ delegations. The feeling is quite
certain that the presidential nomination
is beyond his grasp. Farwoll's fight is
ono of long standing , and in
Logan's presidential ambition ho
has seen an opportunity to
release his opponent from political
life. To this end it became necessary to
loosen his hold on the state patronage by
showing that there's a stronger than ho.
Had Logan contented himself with sena
torial aspirations , ho would sti'l hnvo
held the prestige of his name aud nor-
viccs ; but in the pujidontial race he put
himself in c ) mparj > on with larger men ,
and buffered accordingly. Farwell saw
this advantage , and oho ? " Congressman
Davh to lead the fight against him. The
programme is chat when Logan seeks re
election as senator next January , to go
before the legislature and back Davis
against him and show trom the result of
yesterday's district convention that Davis
ia a stronger man , and should bo given
the position and patronage which Logan
lias had so long.

Special Diaoatch to TUB
WASHINGTON , April 13. The Star's
Now York special says : "Tildon has
absolutely declined to permit his name
to go before the national convention at
Chicago aa a candidate for president. Ho
has quite completed a letter which will
be addressed to the chairman of the
Now York democratic state convention ,
or possibly to the chairman of the Now
York delegation to Chicago , in which he
announces he will not bo a candidate.
It sets forth his reasons moro emphatical
ly than hia letter to the Now York dele
gation to Cincinnati in Juno , 1880. The
democratic-nominoo , ho thinks , should be
one who could enter upon the work of
information as the head of the govern
ment with unvarying vigor. "

day with the people of the country than
over before. If ho should be brought
out as a dark horse at Chicago , I should
not bo surprised to see him sweep every
thing before him. If ho should bo nom
inated ho will be elected , too. I don't
behove any power on earth could prevent
it. Now I am not saying ho is my first
choice , for ho is not , nor that I believe
he will be nominated , for it doesn't look
that way now ; but I am tolling you what
I think about the result if there should
bo a dead-lock between the now promi
nent candidates and Grant's name should
be tossed in at the right moment. Just
paste that in your hat. "

LINCOLN , April 13. The threatened
collapse of the city well from which yo
Lincolnitcs will in time receive copious
draughts of the crystal beverage and still
have nn abundant supply for fighting the
fire fiend , very fortunately was not as
serious aa was at firjt supposed. It was
but a just reminder to the city fathers
that they should lot the contractor , Mr.
John Lanham , attend to the business in
Iiis own way and according to what his
many years' experience in well d'gging
told him was right. When ho reached
a certain point which insured a sufficient
supply of water to stand the required
; est , ho wanted to stop , but the wise
men of the council insisted upon his
going farther , even if ho had to interfere
with the waterworks of Tokay and make
unwarranted demands on the liquid sup
plies of the almond-eyed child of the
mn. They were told that the quick
sand would endanger additional sinking
which was a labor entirely unnecessary.
Nevertheless they said , "down into
the depths" and the consequence
quence was that the labor of
a year and the people's money came
very near being wiped away in a jiffy.
As the wall stands to-day it gives every
indication of answering all public re
quirements. The slight settling of the
early part of the week has merely
cracked the outer walls , and the founda
tion being sot in concrete remains aa
sound as a dollar. The first contract
was let to Mr. Lanham for 0,200 , but
the test failed , owing , aa the contractor
says , to the council insisting on certain
pipes being used , etc. , which ho know
would not work. Ho then agreed to
sink another well within the old one ,
and to furnish a continuous flow of water
at the rate of 50,000 gallons an hour fur
seventy-two hours. If ho failed ho waste
to receive no pay ; if ho succeeded ho
waa to receive § 7oOO. The test waa
commenced at 8 o'clock last night , and is
still going on. Up to noon to-day there
have been an average of 09,000 gallons
per hour pumped out , and the water in
the well ia gaining on the drain upon it
and has remained at an average height
of ton feet. The depth of the well
is fifty-throe foot ; the new or
inside portion , which commences
about midway from the surface ia thirty
foot in diameter , and the old or sur
rounding "hole" forty-one foot in the
clear. Mr. Lanham is thoroughly con
vinced of the success of his undertaking ,
and says ho would not bo afraid to guar
antee a How of 70,000 gullons per hour.
The well when completed and no pump
ing going on , will have at all times an
average of 40 feet of water which will bo
ample for all needs of the city. Its total
coat will bo about § 15,000 , and it is esti
mated that a complete system of water
works will at once bo constructed at a
cost ranging from 875,000 to § 100,000.
Probable the Holly direct pumping plan
will bo settled but ita choice will of course
n agreat measure depend upon the per-
nission of the Omaha Herald. A fifty
: iorso power engine is doing the pump
ing to-day and it is taking it very calmly
xndlpisurely indeed for the importance of
the job it has on hand. The flow is
measured by the pumping being done
xltornately into two wooden troughseach
liaving a capacity of 1,100
gallons. One of these is
now ( being filled and emptied every
forty-five seconds. Mr. Lanham says
that the monster will not intoiforo in the
least with any wells in the neighborhood
that got there water supply from the
jrayol strata , no matter what may bo
their depth , and in proof of his assertion
lie says that the B. & M.'a well , about a
block away , is supplying about 200,000
gallons a day , and yet its water-shed is
fifteen feet higher than that of the city
well. Mr. Lanham is an Englishman and
has been in the contracting business for a
life time. Since coming to this section
of the west ho has boon constructing
wells for the B. & M. , and although he
has built every one from this city to Den
ver , which number over 100 , ho lias never
yet made a failure. It looks as if ho waste
to bo the Moses of Lincoln , and that his
practical and skillful work would bring
this city into a position { so far as water
works are concerned , which would enable
it to look other cities of half the size in
the face without shame for its lack of a
true progressive public spirit.
flKllE'B aHIlUYMANI > KRINa.
Brother Ohawlos , of The Journal , has
had a sad time of it this week. He was
meditating a "foreign mission" to Chica-
; o , but the fates decided otherwise , and
ie was sat down upon most completely
by the republicans of Lancaster county.
Ho has over boon nn enthusiastic member
of that wily American community where
"All would be deein'd.oVm from the cradle , fit
To rule In | K > lltlca aa well as wit ,
The irrave. tlio U'ay , the fopllng and the dunce
Start up ( God bluas us ) utatosuiou nil nt once , "
I regret to say Brother Chawlea didn't
start up worth a cent as far as the convention -
vention just hold was concerned. Ho
did not come within a mile of the starting -
ing point , and in fact his ambition came
very near getting Courtnay chairman of
the county committee , who was engineering -
ing Gere's canvasiinto trouble. Tlio
rural delegates claimed that there was
not sufficient notice given OH to the time
of meeting , and that The Journul placed
the call in a very obscure place with malice
prepense , so thatthooity friondsof Ohawlos
would have thinjs their own way. There is
but little doubt , had not an adjournmonl
taken place just when it did , Chairman
Courtnay's head would have fallen into
Editor Gere's waste basket. Why ,
Chawlos felt so bad that ho only allowed
a more mention in his paper of the fad
that an informal vote on presidential
preference was taken , and it was particu
larly arranged that no specials were pub
lished of tlio same vote in any of the
Omaha papers except TUB BKK , because
tlio presidential candidate at whom Gore
has boon hurling paper pellets of the
brain for months had ton friends to one
oven in the very political vineyard of the
chief of Lincoln triparts. Oh , nu'l how
dolefully the sounds of "Campaign
Charley is my Name" now floats through
the saciod precincts of the Journal's edi
torial sanctum. Those enlivening strains
that a few weeks ago were so encouraging
and joy-inspiring in their select solos ,
their line figures and their charming
chorus.
INTEHESTINO INTEnUOdATIVKS.
There is not a day passes but some
complaints are hoard hereabout the
manner in which the land depart
ment of the otato is being man
aged. It is known on good
authority that a citizen has to bravo the
lion in his don vrhon ho has the hardi
hood to approach Kornoll Kendall on tlio
school laud question especially. If ho is
not openly refused an interview his ques
tions are roughly _ and grullly answered.
In fact 1 ascertained from a gentleman
who called upon his royal highness the
other day , that ho was given information
that upon persistent oilbrt ho ascer
tained waa absolutely false. Wor
thy people who come from a
listanco are anxious to know how
eng this star chamber business is
; o continue. Othern want to know why
there are upwards of ij'JOO.OUO of the
ichool funds of the state given to the
> anks of this city alone at a very low rate
if interest , and how that interest money
s divided , and what banks in Omaha
iavo a finger in the pie ? They also de
sire to know if it is honorable and con-
ciontiously honest , oven if the law docs
lees not prohibit it , for Kornoll Ki5ndall
o lease all the valuable school
ands in the state to syndicates
o that worthy applicants who desire to
obtain these lands have to pay exorbitant
> ricos to buy off the original lessors bo-
ore they can get a Ipaso hold ? There are
> t least thrco firms in this city alone to-
lay ( and divine Providence only knows
tow many individuals ) who are growing
'ich on leases of largo acreage of school
ands. These speculators are the class of
men whom Korncll Kendall does not like
lounty treasurers to ask for t.ixcs.
! t would also bo very pleasing to hear
of all the hubbub about stopping the
sale of school lands which claimed almost
ixclusively the attention of the
ate teachers' convention which wns
icld for the purpose of having
ho immense amount of money accruing
rom leasehold interests assigned to that
) ranch of the state funda which will
allow the public money to bo mnnipu-
ated to individual advantage , and not
lut into a fund where it would
iavo to bo invested in bond ? , as
.ho law requires , and which would
> o the case with the proceeds of the sale
of ecliocl lands. , Verily , our school
nonoya need tobo further removed
rom speculators than they are now , and
.hero is but slight doubt but a little
nero sunlight and open air would bo
jonoficial to the consumptive school land
lopartmont that Korncll Kendall ia keep-
tig so carefully housed up from the
mblic oyo.

WASHINGTON , April 1U. The pension

inosa at the tiino of the ndjournmont of

y circumstances would bo conceded to
iavo the right of way for next Tuesday ,
t has boon announced , however , by
Chairman Morrison , of the ways and
nouns comtnittoo , that an oilbrt will bo
ando on that day to call up the tariff bill
or consideration , and if this purpose bo
dhorod to as now intended ,
A LIVKLY STUUaOU :
will cnsuo , with altogether uncertain re-
ulta. Kelly has said ho will call for a
ca and nay vote on the question of con-
.deration. The republicans Bay their
do of the house will oppose every stop
, akon by the friends of Morrison's bill ,
'hoy assort that the republican roproson-
A'es , with the exception , possibly of
iroo , will vote against any consjdora-
on of the measure. Some republicans ,
insaon being of the number , have ox-
iri'sscd themsulvoa as 'preferring to al
ow the bill to bo brought before the
louse for consideration , and to
THY TO KIM , IT
t the first opportunity by striking out
10 enacting clause. They have consent-
d , however , to vote with the majority of
10 party , and oppose its consideration ,
'ho republicans claim about IliO votes on
loir side of the houso. They say they
will also have the assistance of more than
> rty democratic votes , which would give
loin a majority , if all the 1)25 ) roproson-
ativca were in their seats. Earnest
KHIENna or TUB 11ILL
iavo notified the democratic roproaonta-
VOB to bo present Tuesday. They say
icy will certainly secure consideration
E the measure , if not on Tuesday , then
t some future time not far distant. It
a their intention to continue their of-
orts , if necessary , day after day , and to
pmand a yea and nay vote on each occa-
on. If the house refuses to consider
to tariff bill Tuesday , and the nppropri-
tion bill is not urged , various pending
fil'KCIAL OKIIKHS
will doubtless bo brought in conflict for
irccedonco. The order for the consid-
iration of the bill providing for public
nrildings throughout the country , which
was last week displaced for prior orders ,
. is believed will have the most strength ,
tlior apccial orders are the shipping bill

Thumpson ( dom. , Ky. , ) moved to roscim
the order under which the house hat
boon considering public building bills ,
adopted Monday last. Ho contended

the other hnnd it was maintained that it
was a special order , which expired by its
own limitation only.
The speaker WAS strictly of the opinion
that the motion waa not n privileged one ,
but as it was a now question ho preferred
to submit its decision to the house , which
determined yeas 77. nays 101 that it
was not privileged. Public business was
then suspended and the house proceeded
to the consideration of resolutions expres
sive of regard at the death of the late
