The Kjin-.nH Boomers Again ,
WA8IMNOTOX , Nov. 12. [ Special Telegram
lo the UEK. ] It comes here from Kansas
end the Indian territory Unit the "boomcra"
arc preparing to make another raid Into1 the
latter country. General Shorldnn says that
such cffortit will bo inado this tlmo ns to
make much trouble for the military. The
Bn correspondent is reliably informed that
the loaders In this move arc busily engaged In
circulating reports that the Indian territory
will bo open to sotticrs by legislation at the
approaching session of congress. The effect
of these reports Is to deceive unsuspecting
parties and Induce Ihom to move Into the
territory , for the purpose of securing eligible
and desirable locations. As the law prohibits
euch occupation , various schemes are devised
to escape molestatlon'froni the cavalry forces
Which ure constantly skirmishing In the tor
rltory to find and eject Intruders. Numerous
ous applications have been received by Gun
cral Sheridan from persons residing on the
southern boarder of'Knnsas for permission
to enter the Indian territory to engage In
hunting for a few weeks.
"Hero is an application , " said Colonel Kel
logg. of General Sheridan's staff , to me , as
ho picked up n letter from a resident of Caldwell -
well county , "who desires to upend a few
months In the territory for the benefit of his
shuttered healthHo Is so utterly broken
down physically that ho wants permission to
take thirty-five friends along to care for him ,
Wo have numerous applications from hunt
ing parties for authority to outer the territo
ry. The numerical strength of thcso appli
cants plainly indicates their real purpose.
OI course the desired permission will not bo
granted , nor is it likely that the standing or
ders of troops to exclude Intruders will bo
modified. The- cavalry wore kept busy last
winter in hunting find ejecting boomers , and
" It Is probable they will have plontyto do in
" 'the same line the coming winter. "
The Ijumar-SparkH Trouble.
, WASHINGTON , Nov. 12 . [ Special Telegram
i to the BKEil It is stated upon the best of
authority that Lnmar not only wrote the letter -
tor to Sparks after full.consuHntlon with the
president , liuC that the latter read and ap-
provcd of it before it was sent to the com-
. missloncr. Sparks will retlro from his ofllcc ,
but whether ho will do so voluntarily or wait
to bo crowded out is not known positively.
His friends are divided in their advice on the
subject. Spark's successor will without rea
sonable doubt bo Assistant Commissioner
Stockslngcr or Gcorgo W. Julian. Both are
Indiana men. Julian Is at present surveyor
general of Mexico and next to Carl Schur/
the most eminent authority on land questions.
He stands high In the Interior department
and white house. Stockslagcr has shown
{ rood ability as assistant commissioner , al
though has had little opportunity , and has
warm friends In Secretary Lnmar and Presi
dent Cleveland. It was intimated to him before -
fore ho was made assistant commissioner
that Sparks would .retire and that ho would
succeed him.
But it Is not at all certain that Land Com
missioner Sparks will hasten out of his posl-
'tlon ' either at the dictum of Secretary Lamar ,
or command of President Cleveland. An
'official In the Interior department said toybur
correspondent this evening : "If Sparks will
assort the power ho holds , ho can drlvo
Lamar and so deeply entrench himself that
ho cannot bo evicted. Sparks Is nn honest
man. and what ho has done , and which has
pcrblpxcd Lamar , has been right , lawful , and
in the Interest of the people. Sparks knows
all about the Influences which have served to
overturn his decisions , and If ho only will
strike back , he can defend himself in a way
that will dislodge Lamar and rally the ad
ministration to his support. I3ut ho probably
loves his party better than ofllco. However ,
he will wait to bo removed. He docs not in
tend to resign. Lamar has been very angry
towards Sparks over since the commissioner
beat him In the celebrated Miller case from
Oregon last spring. The president , who
stood by Sparks In overthrowing Lamar , bus
over since entertained n very high opinion of
the commissioner , and ho would never have
fiufTorcd Lamar's letter , but for Lamar and
Vilas. '
_ _
What Ijiuuur SayH.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 12. Secretary Lamar ,
during an Interview with an Associated press
reporter to-day , said In view of the published
statement that his letter to Commissioner
Sparks had been submitted to and approved
by the president before It was sent to the
commissioner , ho wished to say that neither
the president nor any other member of the
cabinet , and Indeed no one outside of his of
fice , so far as ho knew , bad any knowledge
whatever of the receiptof the commissioner's
letter or his reply thereto until It waa de
livered to the president last evening.
The House Office Contest.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 13. [ Special Tolegrair
to the BEE. ] Up to the present time it ha ;
been thought that the only contest over the
ofllces of the house would bo In the door
kcopcrshlp. It Is generally conceded tha
Donelson , the present Incumbent , will bo dc
featcd for re-election owing to the many cno
mlcs ho has made In distributing the patronage
ago of his ofllco. These who are usually wol
posted , have thought that the opposltloi
which existed at ono tlmo towards Genera
Clark , the present clerk , has been disslpatei
and that ho would succeed In securing tin
place for another term without much diRl
culty. Ths | impression received some cole ;
from the fact that no other candidate for thi
clerkship Is known to have been actively en
gaged In canvassing for votes among tli
members elect. It has Just been discovered
Jiowevor , that there Is another candl
date In the field , and that ho ha
done some very effective work Ii
his own behalf. This candidate is Mr. Will
lam Ilaluos , of Rochester , N. Y. , n brother o
, State Senator Hatncs , who is well known t
every democrat in the state of New Yorli
It is said that Mr. Halucs has been so sue
ceasful irf his canvass that ho will enter th
caucus with the support of the entire No ;
York democratic delegation at his back , nn
that ho will also have a number of the Ne\
England and western members. Mr. Itainc
was hero during nearly the whole of the la
soaslon. and ho succeeded in winning u grcn
many friends for himself among the old men
bers. During the post summer ho has tra\
died n great deal through the south , and It 1
aid ho has been actively nt work , whii
Clark has been resting In the belief that h
vras to have n practical walkover in the rac <
There Is n Now York candidate In the tlel
for Donolscm's place. This la Asher Bai
'nett , nt present In charge of the lai
library of the house. Hut the dooi
keepcrshlp Is generally considered to I
the property of the south , and for this reaso
there Is llttlo probability of Harnett's sm
cess , oven under the most favorable cireun
stances. Some of the friends of the othc
candidate say that the candidacy of Harncl
la only a "blind , " and that ho U really In th
field to aid Unities , inasmuch ns the membei
from New York in the last house consldorc
themselves as very unfairly dealt with In th
matter of patronage , mid ns many of thei
threatened to bolt the caucus unless assure
bqttor treatment in the next distribution ,
is thought that llalns may have an oxcoller
chance of winning in the present contest. ]
is a great ninny years since the Empire stat
has held ono of the important positions c
the houoc , and many of the members thin
thattuo slate should unlto to luslit upon re
ognltion of the fact that she sends more deii
ocratlo members to congress than any othc
state in the union.

A BIG STORM CLOUD IN SIGHT.

From the Diamond Items
About Ijociil Sportn.
The Imtrst In llano Hall.
Omaha base ball matters remain In statu
quo that Is In n condition of nggruvatlng
uncertainty. The Oslcosh deal Is shrouded
in mystery , nnd although it Is pretty gener
ally understood that the proposition that was
submitted had been accepted nnd that f. > 00 ,
moro or less , had been remitted to bind the
contract and secure players , the outcome is
extremely problematical. In the llrst plnco
who and what is Oskosh team , nnd what will
Omaha get when she secures it ) Kroch ,
their famous pitcher , has been gobbled up by
ono of the clubs of the wealthy national
league , nnd their promising short stop and
celebrated left Holder are also gone. To' bo
sure they have Lorett nnd Wilson , the crack
Bridgeport battery , left , nnd claim to have
control Qt Burdick nnd Cohno , nuother
battery , in ndditlon to O'Connoll , tlrst base ,
Shannon second , Dorcn third , Miller short ,
McCarty , right and the promise of two other
players of national notorlty. This is what
Manager Seloo says , but is it sol If it
is , nnd Omaha gets the men above men
tioned she will have a fair average team. Too
much should not bo expected of them , how
ever , for the pace which will bo set in the
now western association will bo much hotter
than that of the Into lamented league.
But aside from the club and its players ,
the BEE is in possession of a little informa
tion that may bo of very general interest.
The local managers are handicapped in a
most exasperating way , because , in reply tea
a solicitation to President Morton to have
the Omaha franchise Issued bodily to the
Omaha base ball association , they nro in
formed that it has been Issued solely and ex
clusively to Joseph Oanicau , Jr. , nnd not to
the Omaha base ball association and Joseph
Garneau , jr. , ns was 'published In the city
dallies immediately subsequent to the late
meeting in Chicago. This Is n
pretty how d'yo ' do , so think
the local management. It not
only spoils their matured plans , but delays
progress and entails much expense and
work that would otherwise have been
obviated. Now the question is what will
Garneau do } Ho nnd Morton nnd Von der
Abe nro undoubtedly solid with each other ,
nnd if ho persists in holding onto the now
western association franchise ho can do so
despite the frantic protestations of the quon
dam management of Omaha base ball mat
ters. These are facts , nnd although they
may bo disagreeable ones , they are facts nil
the same. If Mr. Garneau desires to control
base ball In this city ho can do so , nnd prob
able with success , too. He would be neces
sitated , perhaps , in securing now grounds ,
etc. , and experience no inconsiderable trouble
in getting the ball rolling , but ho can do it if
ho wants to.
From the Diamond.
Mossltt has been signed for next year and
will play right Hold. Ho Is in Troy , N. Y.
.Tnutzcln is still in Chicago nnd liable to
stay there. Fusselbach is in Philadelphia.
Manager Selec , of the Oskosh-Omaha ag
gregation , will arrive in this city some time
next week.
Frank Blekford still has charge of the
grounds nnd will probably bo engaged for
next season.

in the Mound City.
Dolnn , of last year's LIncolns. has signed
with the now St. Louis club , nnd Jnko Ken-
yon , of the Topokas , goes with the Browns.
Dick Dwyer nnd Joe Walsh have n job on
the Oregon Short Line railroad. They are
weighing mail , and run from Portland , Oro. ,
to Granger , Wyo.
Frank Bandlo has been appointed on the
staff of umpires for the now Western associa
tion. Frank Is an old player of repute ,
knows the flno points of the game , as ho
knows his A B C's , has n good voice and
should make a capital umpire.
The local management , In case everything
pans out satisfactorily , with reference to the
franchise , will put In folding chairs at the
grand stand , build n separate stand for
ladies and extend the bleaching boards clear
round to the left field foul line at the ball
park next spring.
The salary of an umpire in the new west
ern association is $1,000 nnd expenses. Each
umpire will preside at only six games In each
city , and cro the end of the season makes the
complete circuit. There have been many
changes made in the rules governing these
olllclals. If n man Is lined , and the umpire
fails to sco that the flno is collected before
the club leaves the grounds , the amount of
said flue will bo deducted from his salary.

Falconer's Now Store.
For the last four months N. B.
Falconer has boon busily engaged build
ing quite an extensive addition to his
store , but in his usual quiet and unas
suming way has said nothing about it.
Wo were surprised the other day in
walking into the now building to find
how extensive it is and that it is nearly
complete , and Mr. Falconer tolls us ,
they will occupy it and throw it open
to the public within a fortnight. It is
four stories including the basement , and
they will use them all , they are putting
in a freight elevator for goods , and a
Crane elevator for passengers , and ns
their magnificent store will now bo 132
feet in depth this will certainly bo by
far the finest and largest Htoro
west of Chicago. Mr. Falconer tolls us
that this addition has been absolutely
required , by the enormous increase in
their business and the stock they have
to carry , not ono of their departments
having room enough to hold their stock ,
much less to show the goods properly to
their customers , the whole of their extensive -
tonsivo basement , 132 feet in length ,
will bo devoted during the holiday
season to the display of toys. Last
season they made a display that wo
thought could not bo excelled , but Mr.
Falconer says they will entirely eclipse
it this fecason witn entire novelties in
toys that for usefulness and ingenuity are
unique. Aincyg .them will bo found
real steam locqjioMves that haul trains
of cars with gfeafl rapidity and Btctim
fire engines tnat { rork in a surprising
manner. It's finel to beat the enter
prise of this flrro.'J
