Belknnp , president of the board appointed to examine Uio Dolphin , in a telegram to the secretary of the navy to-day reports that tha trial trip yes terday was satisfactory and that the require ments of the contract for the vessel were com plied with. It Is clear that tha energies of the adminis tration are to bo directed to discredit silver. That is the TIIden-Manning progratnmo. The effect of this is seen in the first month Just ended under Treasurer Jordon. What the treasury policy la may bo learned from the following summary of the month's work from a treasury standpoint : The month's expert- rnont is a loss of only 81,000,000 in gold , while the lo s last month was $0.000,000. This re duction in the loss of gold la attributed almost entirely to the saving accomplished in the cost of transporting money of various classes from one part of the country to an other , at the cxpcnso of the government , in thohopis of forcing silver into circulation. The attitude of the treasury now is that there is in circulation uvory dollar In silver and sil ver certificates which the people arc willing to accept , end that all expedients for forcing sil ver out of the treasury are impolitic and inef fectual. The greatest mistake of the repub lican policy was the effort to attain thia end 'by the expensive methods of shipping silver certificates , The ellvnr certificates thus forced into circulation in the south at public cost find their way to Now York and back to the treasury through the customs. In the words of a prominent treasury official , every silver certificate now forced out of the treasury makes a circuitous tour at public expense and promptly finds its way back into the vault * . The new admlnis- irv.lan maintains that the practice of Issuing silver certificates for gold deposited In New York Is inexpedient and impracticable. Three- fourths of the silver certificates now in circu lation bavo been put out through the medium of gold deposited in Now York for silver cer tificates delivered at other points , mainly in the south. Ttis was regarded by the former offi cials as an effectual method of getting oat the silver notes and at the same tlmo increasing the gold. The new officers oppose this. The issuance of silver certificates for gold deposits is virtually stopped. The benefits ore claimed to ba a saving nf the expense of transporting the silver notes , an Increase in tha proportion of gold used in paying customs duties , and a gradual Increase In the f tee silver In the treas ury. The change of policy necessitates a general movement of legal tenders and National bank notes in place of the extensive shipments of silver certificates for which the government has paid. It is stated that Se c- rotary Manning la strongly opposed to any policy which Involves payments in any money unacceptable to the payee , and that be pro poses no step toward forcing silver through clearinghouse payments if the methods prove as successful as he bsheves they will. If the monthly loss of gold can by the present policy bo kept below $2,000,000 hoxees no necessity for changes of policy until after congress hashed hod an opportunity to stop the silver coinage.

In the senate this morning McNalry's bill providing that the bodies of paupers , when not claimed by relatives may bo disposed of to the medical fraternity , in the interest of science , passed , A joint resolution providing for the purchase of Halne'a compendium of laws of thostatotn- eluding laws up to 1885 , nnd donate seven copies to each township under the organiza tion , and ono copy to each justice of the peace , passed. This will entail n largo ex pense to the state and will require nearly 1G.COO copies to supply the sttto at a cost of ono dollar and a half each , No other busi ness of importance was transacted owing to the turbulent element. Before noon nearly nil the members had left and the senate adjourned to D p , m. Monday , In tbo houio , Lawrence's resolution pro viding a comrniislon to roviio the criminal lawp , was laid on the table. Quinn'iresolu tion to investigate the workings of the state board of equalization and find out whv cer tain corporations aio not taxed as they should be , was referred to the revenue committee. Uproar and confusion continued nearly on hour over ordering the low licence bill , and the senate bill governing elections In Chicago cage , to a third reading , A trade had been made by leading friends of the two bills In the morning , but others excitedly objected to such proceedings. Fiual'y ' tha question waa had on ordering the low licence bill advanced. No quorum voted , and the house adjourned , The afternoon session of the house was n reminder of the riotous actions during the election of n speaker. An attempt was made by the house to read bills the second time. Speaker Hulnes would not permit this , notwithstanding - withstanding nearly every member of the house favored it. Hainan ordered the I clerk to read the Bonito appropriation bills. The clerk proceeded to comply , amid protests from all parts of the house. No at tention was paid to the remonstrance. Mnally Campbell of Kankakeo , Kimbrough , Cooley , .Llnegar of Alexander , and others went to the desk and ordered him in the name of the house to desist. Haines himself then read the titles of bills and without putting the question to the house , declared them advanced. Campbell quickly made a break for the speaker , and bad not some friends interfered he would have taken Halnes bodily from the chair , The action of the speaker is condemned on all sides , there being but few sympathizers who think ho did what was right. The majority say It waa a bleb-handed piece of business , and there is considerable talk of voting htm out of the speakership. This , however , will probably not bo done. It seems certain It will be de cidedly interesting in the house when the journal is read Tuesday morning , THE Gil AND AKM.Y. THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY ON THE QUESTION OP MBMBEBSU1F.

Chicago's ' Markets Maintain Their Drooping Tentey , Strong Declines Noted in Wheat , Oorn , Cattle and Hogs , Decoration Day Anther Than Any In jurious Element tlio Cause of the Shrinkage. AMONG TIl/UJEUS / , STILL DROOPING , Special Telegram to The BEE. CHICAGO , 111. , May 29. The fact that to morrow is a holiday on the board waa a dampener - ener on any higher quotations than wore es tablished early in the day. The crowd in both wheat and corn were as ono man disin clined to carry trade over to Monday , and early in the day began unloading. Especially was this true of wheat , though in this pit th lota were all small sized compared with the * closing prices of yesterday. The decltno was lc , the closing to-day being at 87jjo for July. The opening was at 88Je and tha highest point 88jjc. The market was gov erned by depressed foreign advices , the bear ish fooling locally , and by heavy receipts , though thoto of wheat weio only moderate. The conviction is spreading , however , that they are going to bo heavier in a general way. CORN , Mora interest centered in corn than in any other grain , July opened at158c within Jo of its highest poiut and fell elf steadily to 44Jc | , recovering to 44go at the close of the morning session. This is substantially 4 drop of la from yesterday. [ PROVISIONS. The provision deal "presents a very weak feature. To-day's decline , which was very steady , aggregated 32Jo. A Httlo fall in prices at the yards was responsible for part.of the easier tone , but the bulk of It came in a sympathetic way from grain. July pork opened at $10.CD and closed at $10.27 $ . There will bo no session of the board to-morrow. CATTLE. In caltlo there was a fair demand and prices were steady , especially on solid corn-fed and light handy Blears. Certain low grade and rough unfinished steers , that heretofore have been selling for feeders and to dressed beef operators , now have to compete with the ordi nary run of westerns , nnd aa a consequence are beginning to Bell slow and at easier prices. Butchers stock is steady , and stockers and feeders dull , A drove of Missouri steers , averaging 1,425 pound ; , sold at S\70. The ordinary run of steers , of 1,109 to 1,200 pounds , are selling at from $4 0(3 ( to $5 25 , and heavier averages at $5.00@5.GO ; stillers , 85.00 W6.30 ; corn-fed rangers , S5.00@5 40 ; corn-fed Texan ? , S4.75@G.1G ; 1,850 to 1,500 pounds , 85 40@5.75 ; li00 ! to 1,350 pounds , 5515 ® 5.45 ; 05U to 1,200 pounds , 3-1.70(3516 ( ; cows , common , S23"320j good , 5340 ® 4.50 ; bulls , $2 75@4.15 ; stacker * , and feeders , $3 G0@-l 80 ; Texan ? , S3 80@-1.75. Among the receipts was a train of cattle direct from Walla Walla , Washington terri tory. There were about 400 cattle and thir ty-four horses on the train. They were railed about 1,914 miles , being run from Huntington - ton , Oregon , where the Oregon Short Line connects with the navigation , and the Union Pacific system begins , to end at Council Bluffs. Tha distance of 1,414 miles was made in sixty-five hours and forty minutes , an av erage of twenty-two miles per hour. This , for the great distance travelled , is the best freiaht time on record , and beats the Union Pacific's first run of this character , made some weeks since , by three hours. Considering the long ride and the fatigue tha animals had to undergo , they looked wonderfully fresh and were In good condition outwardly. The cattle tlo were unloaded at Omaha. It was the owners' original Intention to dispose of them there. Thar averaged 1,105 pounds , and brought $4.G5. noaa. The market opened with a speculative spurt , and the first sales showed a slight advance - vance aa compared with the lowest of yester day. Later , when the apaculators found that regular buyers were not following the upward movement , they , the cautious speculators , drew out and offered their morning's pur chases at any price they could get , so that along toward noon trade was dull and prices weak.

The Trinkets of Early l > aye , Around Which Ollnc Material for History and Historians , Ought to bo Preserved , For a long time it has boon the chor Idled desire of nome of Omaha's older citizens to establish a museum. In which can bo arranged and preserved all ( lie relics of oaily d ys In Nebraska , they have cllngiog around and about them , histories that will In the future bo interesting and valuable. Some days ago Judge Janus W. 8 vago addressed ot Senator Mvndorson a letter on the impor tance of this subject. It Is as follows : Your lotttor whh its valuable oncrges- tlons has just reached mo. I respond at once , as tno subject of a collection of In dian relics is ono which has for several years past frequently engaged my thoughts. I have dared to look forward to some period in the future when cither private or public munificence should pro vide us with a building dovotcd first , to the use of our rapidly Increasing libra ry ; second , to such a collection as you suggest , and think , to a museum of fos sils , geological , botanical and other specimens , inclusive of the natural hlatory of Nebraska. If such a building could have the name of Blackbird , It would perpetuate the memory of the most powerful of the wild chieftains who once bora a nay in this vicinity , and of ono , who was too great a warrior , too wise a statesman , and too good a triond of the white man to have his nome borne only by a turbid little creek in the northern part of the state. But I am aw ro that this Is not a prac tical answer to your questions , and In re sponse to your inquiry whether the buard of trustees of the Omaha public library push the matter to success , I feel authorized to nay , though without any special consultation with them , that nothing that can bo loyally dona by them to promote such a project as you suggest shall be wanting. Should there be no obstacles arising under the charter or ordinances to B reasonable ex penditure of money for tha purpose , I shall myself bo la favor of such outlay , and , at all events , I think I can safely promise that room and cases shall ba pro vided for all donations to the collection. Your letter will bo brought before the trustees at our next meeting , and , as In the absence of our secretary , it will de volve upon me to prepare the annual re port of the trustees to the common coun cil , I shall take occasion to Incorporate the suggestions yon have mado. In reply to the above Senator Mander- son writes : Omaha , bocaiso cf her name , location , and history , is the city of all others that should cherish memories and perpetuate the history of the Notth American Indian. The glorious young state of which she Is the metropolis iras until very lately the homo of tbo most powerful tribes of tha Aborigines , and onr prairie land is covered with the evidences of their strag gle for life and contests with eash other. It is but a few years when the sight upon onr streets of the Omaha , the Stoax , the W/nnebago / , the Otoo , and the Pawnee was so common as not to excite comment. The rapid march of onr civilization Is pushing tbo rod man to ono side , or as a bettor result ii absorbing him. But a Httlo while and the Listory , characteris tics , habits , costumes , and oven the names of theto once powerful tribes will bo almost forgotten. Omaha owes It to herself and the worll to do what she can to prevent this result. I suggest that in connection with the superb public library , that is tbo chief honor of our city , there should ba estab lished a depository of Indian wares , relics and curiosities an Indian museum. In the houses of ilia citizens cf Nebraska are large quantities of material that If gathered together and intelligent ly classified would make a most valuable collection for the use of the student and historian. These could bo loaned or given. In the hands of many a friend of Omaha there are valuable Indian roltos ready foi bestowal for the public good. I have gathered together a few important arti cles that I am ready to glvo and add to. Will not your board of trustees take hold of this matter , and push H to success ' It mo&ns a little money and some labor. A room and a few cases , and Omaha'e entomological museum will rapidly gron into something to boast of. Some one should write the history of the Indlar tribes of Nebraska , and this atop wil ! load to that result. Tuo collection , If It Is to be made al all , must bo made now. Twenty-five yoirs hence It will probably be made. Il private individuals throughout the citj and state , officers of the army , gentle monomployedat tha various Indian agen < cies , and travellers of all sortu could bi Induced to feel in Interest in the pro iect , it could not fail of socoesi. Thank ing you for your offer , and assuring yoi that I will gladly co-operate with yon ii any way in which tbo cchema can best bi cariied into effect. BuyliU Sport Kudu In Death.

Ono of those contrivances is known as a photomotro , or ns its name Indicates , n "light measurer. " It Is designed to test the power and quality of light. The photomotro works on the principle of ra- ttoction. The other la called the meter provor , on Instrument for determining whether or not a motor is gauging correctly. It Is a cistern , with nn adjustable holder , of a capacity of oix cubic feet nf gas. The provor is connected with the motor end the six cubic feet "gas holder" Is filled. If the figure ] on tbo motor correspond xrlth those on the provcr , then the for mer is shown to bo correct , but If It is "slower" or "faster" than the prover , then the fact is shown and the moans of correction furnished by the voiy action of the instrument ittolf. These tests are made at the trifling expense of SI or § 1.50 to the person ordering the test made , tn pay the cost of expressage , etc. , of the instruments.
