The war department ofllcials have con cluded to ( tend for the latest maps of Oiminn and Douglas county , and to appoint a board of appraisers to look over these maps , lay out upon them the Ihlrly or forly silos offered to Iho government for now Fort Omaha , and to select from the whole number these not considered available , after which perhaps six or eight will bo left. Then General Scholield will in nil probability , proceed to miiko a per sonal examination of these remaining and select from them the one which ho deems best for the purpose. Senator Mandcrson will procure the necessary maps. 8lCKBTAHY CA1UC llll.ll'd KKTAUATIOX. An attache of the Costa Rican legation said to-day that Secretary Fairchild had acted very hastily in forcing section -oOO of the re vised h tutites in relation lo lliu Imports lo this country In Costa KIcan vessels Doenuso of alleged discriminations against the United States by Iho government of that little re public. Tlio attache said that the grievance of the United States was virtually a protest against the manner which the government of Costa Rica lias adopted for paying for their service in carrying its mails and official pas- Hcngers. Said this genllcman : "AVo have an arrangement with the steamship lines referred to , whereby in return for carrying our mail to European and United Stales porls , and for carrying free any official of Hie government whom it may bo ncccusary to send out of the country , the owners of these vessels are en- lilled to 5 per cent of the customs duties col lected upon llinir cargoes. In other words wo simply pay a percentage of tlio money which these vessels bring to us In return for the services performed. Our government fuels that It Is hardly fair on the part of the United States to construe this into a dis crimination against vessels. However , as the Increased duty provided for in the sccro- tary'.s retaliation scheme is only to bo charged against goods coming in this country in Cost a Rica vessels , 11 is nol so great a hardship , ns wo have in Cosla Rica no ves sels but the small coasters. " "Yachts , " suggested your correspondent. "No , wo are poor and own no yachts. They are simply smacks , " was Iho reply , "and lliey are nol engaged In foreign Irado nt all. " THE Altll ) I , IN IIS AITIIOI'KIATION. It is generally believed that the appropria tion of $ 100,000 made by the sundry civil ap propriation bill Iho other day for thu irriga tion of arid lands In the public domain will lead to very beneficial results. It is acknowl edged on all hands that' this appropriation of $100,000 , which is to make preliminary ex aminations and reports to congress , will , in all probability , result in the expenditure of several million dollars for the construction of reservoirs , canals and ditches for Iho slor- ing and distribution of waste walcr in the vicinity of the arid lands , but the results cannot bo estimated. At the general land office It Is stated that there are millions of acres of as rich and beautiful land us over existed located in sec tions of Colorado , Nebraska and New Mexico ice especially , with small tracts in other sec tions of tlio country which are now barren deserts on account of there being no way ol irrigating them. H is proposed lo look into the feasibility of the reservoir and olhor s.ys- Icms of Irrigation for the purpose of makinp these lands productive. A member of Ihe geographical survey who has lookc'd inlo Ihia question pretty closely , and who , in nil probability , will bo prominent in the investi gation about to bo instituted by the secretary of the Interior Into the irrigation of arid lands , said to-day : "Within ten years I do not expect to sec the slightest suggestion of what wus once the great American desert. Neither do I ex poet to sec any traces of the smaller deserts which have marked certain portions of the west and southwest. Probably you do nol know it , but it is true iiovnrtliclcss , thai there are sections of Texas as big as a Ne England stale which are almost worthless al present. Texas owns her own domain b.y mason of Iho treaty stipulations which nn ncxcd the state to this country , and for thai reason it Is probable that al of the domain owned by tlu federal government will have long slnci been made fertile and Improved before tlu work of Irrigating the domain in Texas has fairly begun. The Btato of Texas Is largol ; in debt , and It Is no wonder Ihat steps havi not been tnuen to Irrigate her public domain AVherever the federal government owns arh lands the Improvements will go forward I congress gives us the ; money which will bi desired lo carry out the plans wo propose ti make. Thuro are iwo classes1 of the publi domain which embraces nearly all of th unoeo..pied lands owned by tlio government They are the arid lands and the hilly lands neither of which at present can bo utillzci for any purpose. AVhcn wo have Irrigatoi the arid hinds the maximum of homosteai entries can b Immediately taken. Within i decade I expect to sco all of tha lands nov owned by the government , which can bo mad produclivo for ngriculluro , homesleaded and the best lands which will bo taken undc the homestead act will bo these arid land which wo now propose to Irrigate. " THE OUTLOOK ON THE bLOl'R. A Californian who does not care muel which political party wins at the approach ing election , and who Is hero looking nfto his agricultural Interests involved in th preparation of the republican tariff bill li the senate , says it Is folly for the democrat to talk about carrying the Piiclfio slope li November. "Tho Mills tariff bill , " says lit strikes n deadly blow nt Iho interests o California and Oregon , while it propose nothing to really relieve the people there In no section of the country nro the ugrlcul tural and manufactured products inon largely exported , and nowhere do lui I > ort3 come moro directly In con filet with homo products than o the Paclflo slopo. The Mills tariff bill give no relief lo our farmers , while 11 stubs then severely by putting nearly all of thei products on the free list. Cullfornlans woul like to get cheaper sugnr lor their fruits am wines , and they would especially like to hav Iho.tux on alcohol for the arts and mnnufac turcs abolished , since they use cnorinou quantities of both in frult-pncking and wim making. Tlicro is no section of the counlr where the Mills bill injures moro and helii less than on the Pacific slopo. Of course , th success of Cleveland nt the polls in Noven ber means the success of the Mills tariff bll for despite the reaubllcan senate n uroaldei can force the adoption of the incasui through one branch of congress , which nearly a tie.

Mr. Edmunds also offered a joint resolu tion appropriating $100,000 , to bo expended under Iho direction of Iho president of Iho United States , In relief of the suffering caused by yellow fever now prevailing in Florida , and asked for its immediate consideration.

Mr. Jones of Arkansas proceeded to ad- TOSS the senate on a motion to refer the resident's annual message , and discussed , rom a democratic standpoint , the question f the surplus and of a protccllve tariff , vhich ho declared to bo "a system of naked obber.y. " Mr. Stewart next addressed the senate , xpressing views directly the opposite of hose put forward by Jones , but declaring hat the existing stngnalion and depression of prices did not result from the tariff but "rom tlio demonetization of silver. At the close of Mr. Stewart's speech the louse bill to authorize the construction of n jridge across the Missouri river within ono nile north or south of Iho mouth of the Cnnsas river wus taken up and passed wilh imendmcnls.

POLITICS IN ADAMS. A Lively Contest In I'rospcot for Leg > iRlativo Honors. HASTING * , Nob. , Sept. 19. [ Special to Tin ' The political situallon in Adami county is nt the present time a slrango niu Interesting tmuiulo that keeps cvcrybodj gucbsing.

Hli nssoclalo upon the ticket , ns candidate fo the lower house , IX 1 > . Norton , Is n respectable spectablo and intelligent fanner. HotU wen formerly republicans who became absorbci In the Idea that prohibition U the only rca question at issue. It is variously cstluiatci that they can poll n vote of from three nun ing upon the republican nominations , of course. The union labor party has also placed Its llcket In I'm ' field , Francis Phillips for the senate and J. U. Coe for the house. Phillips Is a prominent farmer living near Kenesaw and is now chairman of the board of super visors. Coo is a printer holding down a "sit" in the Democrat office of this city. It Is gen erally believed that thrco or four hundred ballols will bo casl for this Uckel. The open and avowed candidates for the republican senatorial nomination are Frank L ) . Taggart and Leopold Hahn. James D. Heartwell , the present senator , has expressed no personal desire to return , but many bollevo that ho Is the strongest and most available man for the party to place In nomination. Frank D. Tag gart Is young and ambitious. He has achieved wonderful silccoss In a business way. Is a lawyer by profession , a college graduate , a thorough republican and a tal ented and llowcry orator who could lake Iho slump and make a great milling among tlm old polilical dry bones. Ho has an ardent following and may now bo considered fairly in the lead for the nomination. Hoth ho and Heartwell favor submission. Opposite to them on this issue is Leopold Hahn , a plain , blunt business man of excellent ability , and the recognized leader of the German element. His candidacy would bo a challenge to the prohibition element that would insure a lively contest. For nomination to the lower house the as pirants are II. C. Minnlx. the present mem ber from this county , F. P. Olmstead and pissibly H. M. Palmer , of West Ultio town ship , and H. F. Single , of Kenesaw. Olm stead served one term in the legislature a few years ago , and is now making a very energetic canvass for the same honor again. Minnlx is regarded as the most popular man , and is likely to win. The democrats are exceedingly quiet and expect to see the situa tion take such shape that they can como in finally with the longest pole and knock the persimmons. The only names mentioned in their ranks for legislative hon ors are K. A , Batty , AV. W. Jones and Ur. Cooke. The latter does not want it and the two former are , singularly enough , temper ance advocates and submissionlsts. The Germans have formed nn association to control if possible their entire vote , esti mated to be nearly ono thousand , against , any submission candidate. If this is done it is possible Iho prohibitionists would combine on a submissinnist. At all events the fight this fall in Adams county will be an inter esting one , but , the republicans are strong and feel confident of winning a complete victory. _ METHODIST APPOINTMENTS.

The nineteenth annual reunion of the sociely of the Army of the Cumberland was opened hero to-day with about 150 members present. An address of welcome wan delivered by Major A. F. Steplicnson of Chieigo. General Uosecrans was made chairman. Colonel Stone then submitted the names of members who died during tlio year , and General Fullcrton made a motion that a member of the society from each state bo appointed to consider the question of erecting an equestrian monument in Washington In honor of General Sheri dan. The mutter was laid over. At Central Music hall this evening General II. A. Alger of Michigan delivered the following eulogy on the late General Sheridan : General Alger began his address with n brief sketch of General Sheridan's life , touching ujion the circumstances of his birth , his graduation at West Point , his service as lieutenant of infantry against tlio Indians in Oregon and Washington territories , his re call from the Pacific coast in tlio fall of 1S01 and assignment to duty as chief quartermas ter at St. Louis , and noted that this great military genius was not given independent command till May 2Ti , ISiW , when Governor Blair , of Michigan , appointed him colonel of the Second Michigan cavalry. General Algor continued : "Ho was a resolute man , and his command soon learned the fact that unless in camp two parties were in constant danger the enemy and themselves. Ho was always geninl and easily approached except In bat- tle. when his whole tmturo seemed to change , and woo to the man who crossed him while the fight was on. Speaking of the fact not n year since , when told that ho was always ugly in battle , he replied : 'I guess that was so ; it was the way 1 always felt. ' " Summing up tlio sketch of Sheridan's methods in preparation and In b.ittlc , Alger said : "Such was the combination a knowl edge of tlio topography of the country , the position and strength of enemy , quick perception and decision , heavy and rapid blows which gave him the success thai crowned him among the foremost generals of modern his tory. Sheridan never lost u battle. Ho sel dom made an attack that was not successful , and , lllco a mighty rock standing in the sea. whoso waves strike it only to be divided and shattered , so tlio enemy's host was ever hurled upon his command but to bo broken. Those who saw a handful of n en defeat ten times their number at Uoonovlllo ; these who stood in the cedar brakes at Stone river and witnessed thu repulse of the proudest army over sent by the rebels to the west ; these who were with him in the seven miles of fire at Mission Hiclgo ; these who were with him in that hill of fire nt the Wilder ness , or served under him in the croat cavalrytlghts of the Yellow Tavern and Tro- vllllan station ; those who passed with him through the terrible battle of Winchester ; those who helped to demolish Early's victori ous army at Cedar Creole , and those who followed him at Five Forks , all joined In ac claim us each victory in turn increased his bewildering fame , crowning him with the plaurtlts of Ihe world. "Ono of Iho slrong characteristics of Gen eral Sheridan was his intense devotion to the cause of the north. Soldiering with him was not a mere occupation to gratify per sonal ambition , but ho believed Intensely that the rebellion was n crime , and that it ought to bo punished. It was this intense cnrnest- ness that made his success. His appearance ui > on the field at any time during the battle always created the wildest enthusiasm. Ho handled a regiment as though it was an army , and an army was managed by him as though it were a regiment. " Grant's and Sherman's After quoting opin ions of Sheridan , the speaker said : "Sheri dan's part in the \yar was so prominent that it attracted attention at once , and became a theme for poets , artists , and historians to dwell upon. Other men have served their country well , and died hoping that future generations would do them Justice. Sheri dan was happy in living in the glory of his own fame , and his fondest friends can hope for no moro than that the future may concur with his own time in doing him honor. " The speaker then touched upon the pension question , and said that there were about eight hundred thousand veterans ir. the country who were dying at tlio rate of ten thousand per year , and added : "Tho com rades of the gallant Sheridan ought Jo bo the nation's wards , and not the nation's pau pers. A grateful country should rise up to give them their just reward and place them beyond tlio possibility of suffering during the few remaining years allotted to them. " The speaker closed with an eloquent apostro phe to the dead general. Among the distinguished gentlemen present are : General Kosccrans , General James D. Morgan , Colonel II. Stone , General II. M. Cist , General Nathan Kimball , General Parkhurst , General J. H. Doolittlo and Gen eral J. Warren Keifor.
