ISpeclal Teli gramtotho BKE. | The Nebraska nppoln ments to land offices caused much crltlclsi here. Markely has many friends who charg Acting Congressman Juan Boyle and h ! lieutenant , Crltes , with selling him ou They first started him off to Nebraska wit assurance that his commission would see follow , while they know Charde was plottln his defeat In that Interest , when Markel got nicely away , a statement came th ; Markelv In February , to got 8400 to come t Washington , had given a check on a ban where he had no funds. At once Market hurled back the imputation on his llnancii honor and Integrity by explaining that h owned a ranch , was a largo cattle owner , di business In several banks , and usually ha largo deposits , but In February did not jus remember In which bank ho had funds an in which not. This should have been satli factory to an ordinary administration , bi the croat moguls , Boyle and Crltes , proferre Charde aud surrendered , willing tha Markely should lose his honor an the office also. , Then another applicant wa foully assassinated Ben Uayden , meinbe of the last legislature from southern Ni braska. Tobe Castor , the mouthpiece of Di Miller In Nebraska , assured Ben that if h would only oppose Van Wyck's re-electlo : Dr. Miller had told him Cleveland had ai tliorlzed him to name the officers for th Chadran land district , and Ben should b one , when , alas , Ben was ono , but the lei one. Now , Bon has many friends in oflic in this portion ot the democratic Israc ; among them Ben Wilson , a good man , solii Itor In the attorney general's olllce , and Secretary rotary Laraar had about concluded to rcconi mend llayden. But , when the list came froi the president , lo "Ben Haydcn's name idi not ) lead all the rest" Then there was walling and gnashing c teeth. This Is the theory among the friend ot the defeated : That when Dr. Miller nol out the Herald It was distinctly undorstoo hero that it was not to curtail hi power with the president aud that li must bo allowed to carry on operation from New York. Accordingly since the sal ho has been In New York acting as ruounu for the dead relatives of S. J. Tildeu. It I reported ho wears black the same as th coachmen and lacquey sot loyalty in Europi therefore his tearful appeals are more powu : ful with Cleveland. Now there IB anothc pretty kettle ot fish in sight. The faithf i arc hungering for Bloibowcr's position bi ho is a son-ln-Iaw of Boyd , which meat hands off. Miller would naturally desire h friend should capture Bierbower's position- but which friend ? Miller suggested to Clevi land that as there wore several candidates c his own friends , each of whom he had pron Ised , it might relieve him to gratify Boy and not disturb Blerbower. But Dr. Bet and Governor North , both confident of Ml ler's assistance , have been hoping again : hope , and the long fast has sharpened the a1 petite and they served notice on Miller thi ho must show his hand , and If ho can contn the president In matters of district attorm he can in marshal. So the doctor Is oxpecu soon with flowing Crape hat-band as mourni aforesaid , which will open the door of tli executive mansion and heart of the preside ! ) This will bo the most solemn and gloomy ( tno deliberations about Nebraska apuoiu uients. The Carllsle-Itandnll Trouble. WASHINGTON , -April 29. [ Special TeU gram to the BEE. ] Talk of approachli trouble between the Carlisle and Kandn forces has been renewed , it Is generally b llevod that the organization of the Flttlet congress will be the liveliest known for man years. An effort Is to bo made by the Cai lisle free traders to throw Kandall and h protectionists overboard. They are dlsguste with him on account ot his tarlft work an his acts as chairman of the committee on ai propriations and say ho must bo doposec that bo lias too much power. The Kan da men say they Intend to bavo more posltioi than the chairmanship of the cominltteo a appropriations or they will loin tbo repui llcaus In the election of a speaker , and thi they prefer a conservative republican fro ono of the pralrlo states to a democrat wli discriminates against the leading men In hewn own party simply because they entertain dl ferent views on the tariff. The BEE corr spondont has been told by Pennsylvan members that there will likely bo troub over the speakcrshlp mtronace not over the position of the speakc .ship Itself. To-day's National Ilepu lican has a lone article In Its low columns on this subject It quotes a prom nent western democratic member as nayln Carlisle will bo re-elected speaker unles there Is on attempt to crush Kandall and h friends , In which event Burns , of Mlssout an influonclal Randall man , will be pushc forward. Burns and Kandall stand on tt same ground ou the tariff , finance and othi questions and would be a strong can did at but could not be elected without republlca support , and the republicans prefer to si Carlisle , a free trader in the chair , If not or of their own number. The democrat quote thinks Carlisle has lost streneth In the t bacco and whisky districts. He thinks tl clerk , Serceant-at-Arms Leedom and Pos master Dalton will be re-elected , but antic patestiie election of some other man tha Donelson , of Tennessee , to the doorkeepc ship. Donelson seems to have made a hgl for this office all around. It Carlisle is i elected speoker he thinks Brcckenrldge , i Kentucky , will succeed Morrison as chat man of the ways and means committee , an this seems to bo the popular Idea.

The alarm , it seems , was tlu usual call given to notify members ot tin legion when they were expected for duty a the armory. The people misunderstood tin alarm , thinking It was caused by a riot a the jail. The crowd has dispersed and n < moie trouble H feared at present. I his morning Jonnlo Bowman was stll sinking. She is worse than at any time yet and may die at any moment. The feeflnj Is that her death will precipitate trouble.

Other speeches were madi and it was determined to meet at 10 o'elocl to-morrow at the court house. Despite tin mayor's proclamation the square about th jail was densely packed with men. Bevom keeping them about half a block "bad no efforts * were made to dls perse them. On Market street abou 100 men arc marching up and down each with a piece ot rope tied to his arm The mob appears so far to have no leade and seemed to bo watching out of curlosit for something to turn up. Tbe pollco am militia are determined to defend the jail ant If an attempt Is made in the night or in th morning there will be blood shed. Jennie Bowman is still suffering Intensely. Physi clans say there Is no hope for her recovery. II p. ra. The soldiers have just beei marched from the armor r to the tail and an now stationed there. The gatllng gun squat Is also on hand. Ten thousand people an surging to and fro on Jefferson street but s < far good order prevails. At 12:30 : a. m. the crowds about the coin house square have dwindled down to 800 o 400 people , and these are dispersing gradu ally.

Then I ordered t an official investigation to bo made as quick * as possible on the frontier. At the santo ! time 1 telegraphed Herbctte to ask Bismarck J to reply to three questions ot International aw. I knew that If the German gov * crnmont answered those questions In \ iccordanco with the International code ot < law the result would be sure to load to jchnaebolo's release. Hcrbette asked 1 Herbert Bismarck If the rl.'ht ot nations au- . tliorlzed a violation ot the frontier such as f was alleged In the French report from thn 1 frontier. "No , " was the reply of Herbert A Bismarck. But at this moment a complica tion aroso. Herbert Bismarck placed before ' the eyes ot Horbntte a statement of Schnao- t > ele declaring that ho was arrested on Gor man territory. This cancelled the first qnas- tlon.

' Count Herbert asked twenty-four liours' delay to reply. Thou ho answered that legal authority differed on the point and cited several precedents. I " , still kept politics out ot the question and asked Herbetto to ask Count Herbert a third , question : Does not the treaty of 1879 In ref erence to the relations of olllclal agents on s the frontier exclude the legality of arrests in * , foreign territory ? To this Count Herbert It * Bismarck answered with great frankness , i \es. " From the moment Count Herbert 1 pronounced this "Yes , " 1 felt that the dan- gcr was removed , and to-night Schnaebelo ) will bo taken back to the frontier and re * ] leased at Pagny. M.

During all the negotiations the word spy was never oven pronounced , * and the French government made no In- i qulry whatever Into the motives of the ar * ; rest , but confined itself entirely to the tech * ,4' ' nlcalltles of the international law.
