The Lincoln peoplu at f list insisted that the lutes fiom Chicago und St. Louis to Lincoln should be tliu same as to Council IllufTs and Omaha , but llnally agiecd to a slight mollification of Unit demand This wus still unsatisfactory to the lailioad officials , who finally de cided to make no change at piesent in the Lincoln rates , and the Lincoln delega tion retired gieutly dissatisfied. Aftereon- sidei.iblo discussion it was decided lo make a it-duttion of M ) per tent in the rate of hind coal fiom Chit ago to jiomN in Nebraska This is nccoidaneo witn the recent agree ment made between the Ni'biaska railroads and the railtoad commission of that state.

The other ninety organizations or "mines" wcro , rnanj > of them , started for Uiojnirjioso of selling out the stock in the cxciternenl. A good many others had good intentions nnd sjicnt vast sums of money tij Ing to llnd one. The jier cent Umt succeed has been vciy small. The result has been that nil of the w lldcut con. coins have "busted" during the ji.ist six months und some of the mines that have good prospects have been earned down vvitli the worthless ones.

" Mr Oheily takes tlio situation very coolly. In his never failing good humor ho looks with a feeling ultin to pity on his mote paiti- snn colleague. When Ml. LMgci ton's ' woids wcie quoted to him today he reiterated tils former connection of tlio state political associations and said that Mr. Edgcilon wholly Ignored the purposes for which the associations vvcio orgnni7cd. Everjono knew that they 'weio not con ducted in the interest of good citizenship , but merely for the puiposo of pulling politiual and personal w h es. They w ere radically op- IMjsed to thowelfuio of the public service. Civil servants were hlied lo do Iho govern ment's work and not to niinipulatc state or local politics.

WASHINGTON' , Oct. 19 [ Special Telegram to the BEE. ] The statements of .T. J. Hiooks , chief of the secret service division of the treasury department , in which lit ; intimated lhat the use of stcaui power in printing the silver certificates might load to an increase in counterfeiting , has caused u great deal of commotion hero and in other cities. It is said tliat the movement against tlio notes printed by machinery is the work of the men em- ploj ed in the bureau of cngi uv ing and pi mt- ing who fear lhat the substitution of muehin- ciy for hand labor may tin ow n great many of them out of cmploj ment. Mr. E O Gruv es , chief of the buicau , was seen lo day in icfci- eneo lo the subject. Ho said that lie has had the opinion of the best expeits in Iho countiy und that they agree that the steam pi luted backs of the silver ccrtillcates equal in every r ospect those printed by hand , He admitted , however , Umt there is just cause for com plaint about the quality of the ceitillcatcs how being issued , but ho claimed that the reason is that thoio is such a gicat demand foi them that they mo issued gieen from the press and tire not allowed to dry properly before - fore being put into circulation. Mr. Graves snjs that the bills and certificates ought to bo allowed to dry for at least six months befoio they aio eh ciliated but under the piesent demand that is impossible. Asked what was his leahon for substitut ing steam for hand labor in printing these notes Mr. Graves replied that the enormous incr ease in the call for revenue stamps had taxed the capacity of the oflico to the utmost ; that hand labor was entiiely inadequate to supply the demands of the internal revenue bureau und Umt muehmoiy was absolutely necessary. As an illustration of tlio in creased demand , Mr. Graves said that the number of sheets of revenue stamps callctl for in September was about 000,000 moit than the estimate. Tlio incicaso is princi pal ! v in stamps for packages of tencigaret'cs , In September of lastjear the demand wu supplied by a dally output of1,000 sheets ol these stamps. In September of this je-ar the average daily production was l'JHX ( ) sheets Theio was also a vcij laigc int lease in lit demand for stamps for boxes of llftj cigars In September of last jear the daily piodue lion was It !
