"Every appointment I make and every dis
charge I make Is for reason , " said Pension
Commissioner Tanner , to-day. IIo was talkIng -
Ing about the charges that ho was a political
spoilsman nnd was sacrificing good men In
the service that partisan republicans might
bo given places. The commissioner con
tinued :
" -Heavens and earth I I can almost count
on the fingers of ono hand the discharges I
have made on account of the change of ad
ministration. For these fifty special exami
ners discharged I have not nppolntcd n single
soul to tnko tholr places. I simply out down
the force to get within the appropriation.
There Is lots of work to do If wo only had the
money to pay them. I suppose a great many
changes will bo made In the medical boards
throughout the country. The boys want it
done nnd have a right to have it done. That
Is to bo expected. Changes are being made
and will bo made more or loss everywhere ,
but there is nothing unusual about that. It
is always to bo expected , but ns
to the changes in the office , you
see , I can't do anything. All the clerks
have to come from the civil service commis
sion. I can't appoint any ono , except those
who pass the examination , to a clerkship.
You have three or four names sent you to
select from , I know , but I don't know any
thing about nny of them. I have the ap
pointment of twelve chiefs of divisions and
some medical exports , and a lot of messen
gers nnd boys , nnd to these positions I can
appoint whoever 1 choose , but they don't
amount to much , yet they go right on abus
ing mo Just the same.
"Now , when I cntno hero I found three old
soldiers who were democrats at the head of
divisions. Instead of putting them out en
tirely. I went to Secretary Noble and got
him to have u special examination for these
three men , ns ho has a right to , nnd I gave
them , positions subordinate positions , of
course but better than nothing. They
couldu't expect to retain their places as
chiefs , and 1 gave them these nositions for
no other reason In the world than because
they were old soldiers , but for these dis
charged they abused mo nil over the coun
try. "

Although this was cabinet day , nnd there
are not many visitors in Washington , Presi
dent Harrison's private room was almost
crowded full nt noon. They begun to pour
In shortly after 10 o'clock , and kept up the
Inflow until the doorkeeper announced that
the president could no more than get through
with these already 'In before the cabinet
would assemble. During the time thu presi
dent was taking bis visitors by rotation ,
receiving their verbal and written state
ments and sending them away more or less
happy , he observed a bright-eyed , fair-haired
young man who kept moving nervously about
in tbo crowd and pushing himself to the
front. Ho over nnd nnon looked with great
eagerness ut the president , and was trying
to cateh his eye. Almost an hour elapsed
after the president first discovered this
young m&n , and his nervousness and eager
ness to get an audience began to wear unon
the president's nerves. Finally the visitor
boldly walked out from the crowd. When
the president was released ho presented his
card and begun to address himself to the
chief executive. Ho said :
"Sometime ago I made application for nn
appointment. I want It awfully bad. I
don't cnro for it myself , but the fact is , Mr.
President , " and hero the young man blushed
to the tips of his hair , " 1 am engaged to bo
married , and unless I get this appointment
the engagement wont stand. There you
have it , and now you know why I am so
anxious. " The president was taken aback ,
and although amused for the instant , the
statement went to his heart. Ho at first
was a little out of patience , but the evident
palnfulness of the situation elicited his sym
pathy , and the card with the name of the
office desired was laid in a prominent posi
tion on the desk.

Complaints are filed with Secretary Noble
against the alleged arbitrary action of Agent
Warner , , of the Winnebago nnd Omaha
tribes , toward the white men , leasing lands

investigation Is likely to follow. Thu lands
embraced in the strip ceded to Nebraska in

Nlobrura river , are rich nnd much coveted ,
but if the Nebraska legislature has accepted
the cession , thu president's proclamation
must issue ere these lands can bo thrown
open , und the Indians have the first right to
select lauds In severally.

MADISON , Nob. , May 14. [ Special Tele
gram to Tni : Bnn.j Interest In the Soulior
and Born trial continues with unabated
earnestness. An was anticipated , the state
rested without * putting Kelley on thu stand.
The evidence of the state was all hi by about
11 o'clock this morning. The defense nro
making a strong showing by the evidence
that the defendants are not the parties who
did the shooting. About six or eight wit
nesses have already testified us to the de
fendants being In the city of Norfolk at the
tlmo of the alleged shooting of Kcllcy. One
witness swears positively that ho was pres
ent at tbo timeof the assault upon ICclloy ,
saw the parties who did the shooting , nnd do
clnros that the defendants nro not the men.
His evidence remained unshaken , though
subjected to n rigid cross-examination.
Another witness testifies to having
seen a team answering to the
description of the team driven by
the parties who assaulted Dr. Kollcy , nnd
men answering the description of the men
who did the shooting driving rapidly past his
place a short time after the crlmn was com ?
mittcd , and driving rapidly In an eastern
direction. The defense have finally suc
ceeded In placing before the Jury the death
of the sister of Soulior , one of the defend
ants , through a so-called surgical operation.
Tills evidence was Introduced in connection
with throats made ngdlnst the Ufa of Dr.
IColloy by some of the people of Norfolk who
wore present at the time of the Inquest held
over the body of Caroline Soulier. A strong
effort was made by the stnto to oxciudo this
evidence , but the court held It to bo rele
vant , as tending to show that- there were
persons , other than the defendants , who had
threatened violence against Kclloy. It is
believed that the case will go to the Jury
some time to-morrow afternoon. Ouo of the
most important witnesses examined to-day
was Gcorgo Oliver , the colored cook formerly
employed nt the asylum. Tho. excitement
increases as the trial continues.

WAUOO , Neb , , May 14. [ Special Telegram
toTiiEBun.l At the convening of the dis
trict court this morning the case of the
State vs Isaac Willis , indicted for murder in
first degree was called , nnd a ripple of ex-
citcment ensued when It was found that the
defendant was not In court. In about an
hour he put in an appearance and explained
that a break-down on the way had occasioned
the delay. The tedious work of selecting a
Jury took up the tlmo till noon , when eleven
men had been empanelled , and the twelfth
was secured about 3 o'clock. The opening
statements to the Jury were made by the at
torneys , and the examination of witnesses
began. Tbo second witness was on the
stand when court adjourned. The testimony
so'far has bcon'vory 'damaging to the de-
fondant. The crime for which Willis is
on trial is the shooting of Jake Grovcr , near
Valparaiso , last October. Grover nnd Willis
wore having trouble on account of Willis1
cattle trespassing on Grovor's lands. Uof-
erccs had been selected and a tlmo sot for
fixing the damage duo Grover. At that time
Grover and Willis and the referees mot to
settle the difllculty , und Grover and Willis ,
who were both untied , began quarreling nn d
words grow into a war , res-ultiug in Willis
shooting Grover , who dlod in four or llvo
days. The defense will bo that of self-do-
fense , Willis claiming that Grover pulled his
revolver first. The state is represented by
County Attorney Simpson , Hon. J. It. Gil-
kison and Hon. Gootgo I. Wright , while L.
C. Burr , of Lincoln , ex-Senntor Vandemark
and S. II. Sornborger conduct the defense.
The case will probably occupy the court's
time all this week.

Marshal Jones says : "I ordered , from
ray old experienced deputies , four lo Guthrla
together with throe now appointees , to proj
tcct honicscokcrs against lawlessness. The
full number of deputy marshals In Oklahoma
appointed by mo Is nineteen , besides eight
appointed at the request of the railroad com
pany. I believe that a few of my deputies
attempted to file on ns many sections of land
In the territory , but I know many of thorn
have not , and while 1 Instructed them not to
do so , when they saw themselves surrounded
by from five hundred to seven hundred
persons at Guthrlo nnd nt least end
half that number at Oklahoma waiting for
the hour of 12 to come , I do not wonder that
some of the deputies who wore serving with
out pay and who were only there in the
Interests of good order , took the fever and
attempted to got a homo. As to' mviolf. I
never attempted to homestead n foot of land ,
nithor In Oklahoma or uuy other territory OP
state. "
In a postscript , Marshal Jones says :
"Tho country Is absolutely quiet. I am
astonished nt the false reports of bloodshed
circulated by the papers. Thcro has not
been a single person killed by violence la
that territory since April 22. "
The report Is dated May l > . It Is under
stood the nttornoy-Kcneral Is not satisfied
with It And will call upon the marshal for a
