WASHINGTONHUIIKAU TUB OMAHA HER , ) TRKXTii STHKKT , > WASHINGTON . D. C. . Feb. 13. | .The1 house committee on public buildings and grounds to-day reported Mr. McShane's blllcalllng for 11,500,000 for ji new govern ment building nt Omaha ns amended by the committee. The amendment provides for an appropriation" of'$500,000 for the securing of a site. The committee state thnt this action lias been taken in view of the fact that legis lation by the state of Nebraska Is necessary bdjoro complete title nnd cessation of Juris diction onthepartof the state can bo obtained by flic government , nnd that Inasmuch us the legislature will not meet until the coming year this appropriation is all thnt is necessary under the circumstances of the case. Mr. McSliano has made a vigorous fight on bo- Imlf of the full amount , as called for in his bill , nnd ho has been aided by Messrs. Laird and Dorscy. The action taken is Stated by several members of the commit tee to bo entirely in the line of the full amount of the appropriation , as called for by Mr , McShano's bill , and with no view to cut the cost of the building when erected. They believe that on the very strong she wing made by Congressman McShano ns to the necessi ties of the government at Omaha that there will bo no dlfllculty at the next session of congress in passing a bill providing for the erection of a building to cost $1,000,000. The report of the committee is undoubtedly in fluenced by the approaching campaign nnd the feeling among the democrats that appro priations must bo paicd down to the lowest jMisslble notch In order to make a showing in the coming canvass. It is probable thnt the bill will come tip for passage in the house be tween the -1st and 25th lust. , and us it will have the united and vigorous support of the state delegation , there Is no doubt of its adoption. It Is not sure , how ever , thnt the senate will concur in the amendment of the house. If it docs not the bill will go to a conference committee , In which event the bill , us passed by tbo sen ate , may bo restored and finally accepted by the house. MBVBUIir.S FllOM SENATOR PADDOCK. Senator Puddoek to-day in the senate in troduced a memorial from the citizens of Lincoln praying that the government should bear its share of the expense of paving and grading the streets adjacent to the govern ment building. Ho also introduced u peti tion signed by the governor and various state ofllccrs nud citi/ens of Nebraska , praying for a pension for Mrs. Nancy Pollack , which was referred to the committee on pensions , I'AimOCK ON PUIIMO DOCUMENTS. During the course of the debute on the question of the sui plus of publio documents in resjOTiiso to Senator Vest's charge that too many documents were printed and that he hud sovcr.il thousand which he was unable to dispose of , Senator Mandorson , the chairman of the committee on printing , being absent , Senator Paddock took up the cudgels in debate - bate in behalf of his colleague. Ho said that his colleague , who is chair man of the committee on printing , was , una voidably absent from t > > o chamber , otherwise ho would undoubtedly bo heard from in an swer to the charges against him nnd his com mittee mude by thts senator from Missouri in the course of his remarks. Mr. Paddock said there might have l > ccn some abuses in the matter of printing public documents of the classes referred to by the senator , but that ho himself 'would be glad to receive from the surplus of such documents a few thousand for distribution to his constitu ents ; that there wcro some hundreds of thousands of pioneers on homesteads in the frontier counties of his state and the same Was true of Kansas and the other states and territories of the newer northwest who are hungry and thirsty for knowledge of any nnd all kinds , and they would gladlv receive even the documents so vehemently disparaged by the senator from Missouri. There Is no sub ject considered worthy of consideration by the committees of congress or by commissions appointed by its authority to consider any report upon which reports wcro considered important enough to print , which would not interest the people of his section of the country , nt least , and lie would bo glad to have them for distribution. Being u new senator , lie Is not entitled to documents for distribution , and ho would bo glad to receive from the senator from Missouri , or anybody else , five or six thousand or more of these disparaged documents for his constituents. IOWA -MATTEItS IN THE 8ENATK.

The Treat of the SCHBOH at Bord'o. The Howard Athenaeum Star Specialty company opened nt Boyd'B last night. It is n remarkably Uno attraction , one of the very best that has been hero this season. Many of the performers are previous acquaintances , but' their acts are now und prepared on- pur pose for this tour , while the new engage- incuts are of uncommon nicrjt and attract iveness. The Whirlwinds of the Desert , the four Arabs , give a performance that has never had an equal in this country , and they were greeted with the most enthusiastic ap plause. Hoblni and Ilczeno , in an eccentric trapero act , also brought down the house ; the brothers. Fontc-Bonl in n curiously clever boll imitation are great , and a London mayician , Carl Hertz. introduces some tricks that almost partake of the preternatural. The Irwin sisters May and Flora repeated their great success of j ears gone by. "Home Uulo" is u Teed medium for displaying their specialties this including the singing by Miss May , who carried the audience by storm with "Wuv Down in Maine" and other novelties ; the nale inicrsoiiutioii | of Miss Flora was cap- .taL Adums , CHBC.V and Howard save a re fined black-laced musical sketch of n similar nature to that in which they have previously won much favor. Miss Lbzio Daly inoru than satisfied the demands of her unlimited nd mirers for her inimitable work lit the shrine of Terpsichore. Hoey and Dailoy need no special mention , save to say that they are us nopular as over In their not unfamiliar dialogue act. The programme is quite lengthy , but , every item Is good , and the com pany will not bo duplicated hero this season , for its equal is not on the road. NAILED THE DARKEY. A Traveling Man PlnjH Policeman For a Little While. A traveling man by the name of Shank- land , representing a glass factory nt Glovers- villo , N. Y. , stepped up to a darkey in the corridor of the Paxton at midnight last night , took him by the collar and marching up to the ofllco directed thoclurk to telephone to the central police station for an ofllccr. The negro all this time presented a stolid In difference , but when Officer Cullen and a companion arrived ho weakened nnd asked for what ho was to bo pigged. 'Lock liim up and I will appear against him. I am directed by your superior officer in this move , " said Shankland , and the offi cers departed with their prisoner. To u BKB reporter Shankland explained that he had employed the negro , whoso numo is Archie White , to assist him during tno day in carrying about his sample case. As a re ward. upon their return to the Paxton where Shankland is quartered , he dove down in his pocket and handed White , ns ho supposed , a silver dollar. But a little later ho discovered that it was a I.H ) gold piece and not a dollar , and by advice of the proprietors of the house ho started out to find White , accompanied by n ] > olict'mun delegated for the search by Chief Seavey. White , however , succeeded in eluding his pursuers , though they heard of him ns hav ing been in several places spending money freely. Upon his return to the Paxton ho was quickly gobbled up , and to-day will bo given u hearing. A Veteran Become * lunatic. Nelson Brown , the old G.

Character Clara Iteifo's Letter. NKW YoitK , FoU. 11. [ Correspond ence of the BEK. ] Slnco WilUtun K. irmidorbilt sailed nway on u trip around lie uorld little 1ms boon heard of him. Pho newspapers have not followed him ip with closeness. Now and then a ) rief telegram bus appqarod , announe- ng Unit Mr. Vandcrbilt hud graciously consented to bo received by the sultan , ol1 some minor potyntutuvha would un doubtedly gladly exchange boots with ils money guest. That Mr. Vandorbllt spent Chrlstmns in the vicinity of the iardandlles and thnt Mrs. Vandorbllt did not forget to _ send , a Now Year's hock to Now York In. the interests of charity. But some of Mr. Vandcrbllt's rionds have been fortunate in obtaln- ng private udvicos about him , and from one of these letters I obtain a grout deal of information. Mr. Vandcrbllt's ex- lerlonccs thus far have been devoid of mything remarkable from the point of view of the adventurer. Ho has had no encounters with brigandHoithor Italian or Turkish , ho has not "boon followed by ) irates in the mediteranean ; ho has climbed no diz/y mountain heights , nor ins he attempted to enter Morquos in linguist ) , ho has not bearded the tiger n his lair , nor shot tho. sacred white elephant on the banks of the Ganges. In fact , Mr. Van dorbilt's llfo is , in his own opinion and that of his friends , al- .ogother too valuable to risk in any such foolhardy manner. That may do for iionoyless nobodies , but never for the jiggost of American money kings. Mr. VanderMlt , according to the best authority , has , however , been able to enjoy hinibclf much more to his satibfac- ,1011. At present ho Is in Egypt , and on lis way up the Nile. Ho has chartered , ho steamer Prince , Abbas , which re turned to Cairo last week , having on ward the Duo do Chartres and a party of illvstrious gentlemen. Mr. Vander- lt was introduced to the noble duke And they had a pleasant time while both pnrtics remained in Cairo. The learner Prince Abbas is getting LO bo the regular excursion boat of the Nile lor parties wuq can afford to pay ; he exceedingly liir o price charged tor her use. The UAtings and furnish ings are of the mostj-luxurious charac ter , and almost equal to the magnifi cence of Mr. Vandefbilt's own yacht. The steamer is a lu'fdo ono compared to the general run of vessels in use on the Nile , and the Vand bilt party will not llnd it necessary toicomplain of cramped quarters. The stacti was mudo a few days ago Und the 'ultimate ' destination is the First Cataract. Stops will bcs made at Luxor , Car'nak , Thebes and other towns and vill46 ° 3 on t'10 ' UP trip and possibly at sofnp on the return. Mr. Vanderbilt has written that Egypt is not a country of . .pleasant sights , al though abounding with things of inter esting nature. He found more rags and' misery in Cairo than ho ever before ' imagined possible. 'The turbulent Nile , with its muddy wafers and loamy blaeliL banks boa caused him to express sur prise at the stories of Cleopatra and her wonderful barge. To his mind , floating on the dirty wavcjs. and watching -crocodiles as they impudently flirt thdir tails , is not such a delightful thing us it is alleged to have been. Ho admits , however , that the moonlight , and beautiful houris in picturesque costume and soft music may have made u difference. Mr. Vandor- bilt'H Nile visit will hist much longer than the three weeks that it usually takes , because he expects to be some time in exploring the wonders of the place where ho intends to stop. Ho will manage to get back in time , however , to avoid any dangers from the annual overflow. Ho has taken along with him a goodly supply of choice Perfcctos to prevent infection from the ill-smelling nigs that are omnipresent in Egypt ut this time. Ho believes that good tobacco smoke will drive away any such danger , and invites his companions to puff away at his best brands all the time. "Doing" the Nile has apparently at tracted a great many Americans re cently. Mr. J. Plorrepont Morgfin , the rich banker and uUitesinan , chartered the fcamo steamer that Mr. Vanderbilt is now using. Ho was in a hurry , how ever , and broke the time record on the trip by steaming night'and day iiibtead of lying-to at night. Ho returned to Cairo in a week and a half from the time ho started. Mr. Ismay of the White Star line also made the trip and a num ber of well known Americans have been there incognito. Letters have been re ceived in New York from Mr. and Mrs. Daniel B. Fearing , the wealthy society couple who took u wedding trip to Japan last fall , Mr. Fearing is u wealthy gentleman of adventurous spirit who became tired of the insipid pleas ures of society life in Ne.w York ; Mrs. Fearing is a charming young woman who shares her husband's love for travel , and , us money is no object to them , they have boon enjoying themselves royally.

It-is generally' agreed that Feb- rii : ry 15 is a date altogether outrageous charitable ha/.iuirs , u.iu " the carrying ol 'prayer books In th w"niornoon. There was. a tlmo when jthts- Lenten season might bo opened ignored , and church authority dolled with impunity. But boeioty doesn't do that tort of thing now. It's fashionable to bo churchly , so the backcloth and. ashes are metu- jihoricully donned without a murmur. Some young women even go bo far as to attend church two or Uireo times a day. They may bo escorted homo by a differ ent young man each time , but they coil- solo themselves with a conscioutmc&s ol duty performed. There is some talk ol a great charity fair before Easter , to bo led by such names as Astor and Vanderbilt - bilt , but the project has not yet taken definite shape , and come to nothing. Notwithstanding the widespread JXJPU- larity of Lenten observances , however , thora are a considerable number o : wealthy Nuw Yorkers whoso ubsurt independence of the . conventionalities ma led them to n charming noW dopar- lire in their sot. This is a departure for Florida , Nittsau , or some other : enlal clime a few days before Ash 'Wednesday , and a return to civilization i few days after Easter. At least twenty families have departed within the last week , with the solo purpose of escaping the dullnessof Lent , and many more are going. .But if Lent isobsorvod rather strictly , society makes the most of the gay sensou up to the last moment. While the afternoon receptions and the evening - ing "small nnd enrlys" at private houses irons numerous as over , the ontortain- inonts'ntDelmonlco's und the Brunswick liavo greatly increased in number. For Instance : Uelmonleo's second floor is engaged for every night up to Ash Wednesday , for balls nnd other fcooittl , afiairs. Private cnter- lalntnents in publio places admission by cdrd only grow in favor and save much \ vcr and tear on the goods and ' chatt'ol.s.bf.'handsoinq dwellings. It is ilono by forming so-called "clubs" or' "cirolo8 ( " and , issuing engraved invita tions. . Delmuuico weeps when ho thinks of Lent , but it is doubtful 11 ho goes to enurcli oven ontio-a day. The .dancing season closes with the beginning of Lbntyof course , and it1 lias been * n unusually gay ono , in conso- qtumcoi of the condensation already mentioned. A feature of the last ball in the Astor coterie was the presence of four bridal parties. In eauh instance Lhe bride was there wearing the costume in which qho has stood before the altar , except that the veil and orange blossoms " soms were "discarded. The four groups of bridesmaids nlso appeared In the dresses which they had worn nt the weddings. These interesting bridul parties kept themselves intact for an hour or so , and around them crowded ad miring siwctutors. An air of rivalry was imparted the exhibition , too , for it was inevitable that comparisons should bo critically made , not ulono us to the per sonal beauty or lack of it but in the matter of clothes. At all events it was a successful attempt to inject an almost bonpationnl element into what would have been a fine but conventional cli max of the season. Propriety and Shakespeare have had a collision , and Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland had something to do with it. That is to say , the extremely fashion able school in which pho is a member of the faculty was the place of the impact. The rules of that establishment , govern ing the conduct of the pupils , compels the girls who board there to got a- special permission every time they go outside tno walls , except for promenades together and with a chaporono. Applications -for leave to go to theaters are generally refused , but Shakespeare has usually been hon ored with a breach of this law. Wlion Booth & Barrett last plnyed hero these school girls wore allowed to go _ to the matinees in chaperoned parties , and oven at night , under approved escort. Modjeska is in town this \\ook in a round of Shakespearean plays , and the girls under Miss Cleveland Bup | > osod that they could witness these representa tions. But when it came to 'Cymbo- ' lino" and "Measure Measure , " with their shocking plots , the question had to be carefully considered : On the one hand it was argued that Shakespeare's works wore above condemnation , oven in these pieces usually offered by actors , while it was as strenuously urged that the ad ventures of the heroine in each in each instance wcro utterly unlit for young girls to see. Miss Cleveland was delegated to find out how far Modjeska intended to go in u literal illustration of Shakespeare , and she wrote a polite letter tp the actress , asking if the bed chamber bceno in "Cymbolino" was to bo given as in the play. Modjoska replied that not ' only would every word in it bo broken , but that , after mature consideration , she had de cided to emphasize it by the utmost de gree of pantomime. She said that the whole play depended upon this princi pal scene for its intelligibility and in terest. Thereupon she felt that artistic reverence for Shakespeare not only de manded that this particular passage should not bo curtailed , but that it should bo given with all possible dram atic force. Miss Cleveland as emphatic ally decided that her girls should not see "Cymbelino. " Probably she was right. There is a grcaf deal of good poetry in this play of Shakespeare's , but the principal feature of the btory is the surreptitous visit to her bcdbide by an advontureous scoundrel , in quest of false evidence against her modesty. How ever , several audiences did see Mod jeska in this dramatic exploit , and por- bonal observation of ' one Of thebo gather ings impells the 'writer to declare that Shnkespcnro literally illustrated on the stage is u shock to sensitive eyes and ears. ears.This leads up to Comstock's raids upon undruped art , and one of our variety theatres the only ono close to Broad way , and commonly visited by polite people has this week taken shrewd ad vantage of the subject. Wherever did you hear of 'any body , oven the most acute stickler for propriety , objecting to skin-tight coverings on the circus per formers ? Thrco athletes happened to bo under engagement to this ubtablish- meut. One of them was a young woman. Ordinarily they threw flip-Haps , and did other acrobatic things , in the costume common to Iheir profession. 'But this time tlio mauiigor saw the chance for novelty iiiulhumor in keeping skirts on the girlduring her performance. There fore , we have'thn } remarkable eight of summprwiults and contortlvo feats by a maiden dressed in ' the long skirts of conventional life. In .the , busy throng of lower Broad way tiud tributary thoroughfares , as old Trinity' * clock is making toward noon , may dally bo won a buxom girl of about twenty , * with' rosy-cheeks , intelligent eyes , and a .big ba'skot of fruit on her arm.

All these things seemed to possess strength early In tlio day , but the power dropped pretty much out of them be fore the session was over , and , ns a result of the morning's trading , May wheat closed Just } fc higher than it closed Saturday. The explanation of the early advance wa4 tip- parent to everybody. The reason for the loss of it was not so clear. The only solu tion of the problem offered wus that buying orders from tlio outside wcro all tilled early in tlio day , und they ceased to conic. Local traders , for whom the market consists of one day , und thnt only , believing that the expected bulge was now coming In deed , had bought wheat , nud when prices failed to advance any further proceeded to unload it as fast .is possible and only found buyers at lower llgurcs. Trading was nctlve nnd there was a good volume of business early , but Inter the pit became rather dull. Muv wheat opened at bl c nud immediately sold up to Sl c. This WHS the highest point of the session , though the market lingered in that neighborhood for some time , with fdr- clgn houses buying nnd good buying for New Yoik account.

Juno wheat opened nt bSQS'JXc , bold at 81Vc " "d Sl c und closed at 1 o'clock with the last named price united. While the visible supply of wheat continues to decrease the supply of corn is rapidly pil ing up , mid this in spite of u short crop und comparatively light receipts In this marUot. To this fact and the rather easier fouling in provisions thu decline In corn to-day ought probably to bo attributed. The market seemed strong early and advanced a little , but later dropped ) c and closed nt nearly the lowest point of the session. The increase in the visible supply was 470,000 bushels.
