'
man , Hill'nnd Tiunraany which made Crisp
spcakor Is now divided by thnt , son of
English strolling notors. Realizing the power
within hU grasp , ho refuses to bo controlled
by the powers which cicntcd him. It Is the
dictum of Gorman nnd Hill thnt the lender-
ship of the house nnd the chairmanship of
the ways nnd moans committee must bo
offered to Mr. Mills. Governor-somitor Hill
) m , , within twonty-four l'our , sent o special
envoy to Sneaker ( Jrlsp with this declara
tion.
Spcakor GrUp turned u deaf oar to the
appeal. Senator Gorman has , almost with a
clenched list , declared to Speaker Crisp
thnt ho must not iirnoro Mills. The now
linssos of the democratic party arc Undine
their speaker a "Frankenstein. " Tlioy are
not able to povcrn the crcaturo of their
power. It now anpears that the chairman-
gtilp of the wovs nnd means committee , an
oniuo of tbo greatest consequence to all the
manufacturing ns well ns agricultural Indus
tries of the country , Is to bo dangled by Air.
Crisp like a Christmas present bolero the up
turned eyes of thrro men namely , McMlllln
of Tennessee. OiltUwnlto of Ohio and
Springer of Illinois.
\ \ hero U Will Strike.
It Is currently ronorled that the chairman
ship , If It gO"s outsldo of the old membership
of the ways and means committee , will bo
given to Mr. Outhwalio. If that does not
happen , the chairmanship will bo given either
to Mr. McMillln or Springer and tbo
ctmncod still conMnvo to bo In favor of Mc-
Millln.
The tariff tinkers arc already alarmed by
tbo objections to their plnii to attack the
McKlnloy law by specific bills. The protest
ngalnst frco binding twine , which has al
ready como from Nebraska , promises to bo
followed by other protests against free sugar ,
free salt and free wool , not to mention other
attempts to rnlargo tbo free list. These
considerations , which uro malting themselves
frit more and more evcrv day , are sure to
Influence Mr. Clisp moro or less In bis se
lection of the chairman of the ways and
means committee. The bitter feeling be
tween the divided factions of tbo democracy
glows moro inteiuo every tnrnicnt. The
light over the chairmanship of the ways and
means committee is ono of its present mode
of expression. 3

The supervising architect of the treasury
has Mindo n material modlllcatlon in the cx-
teilor of the Otnahu pastofllec , as shown by
perspective view of that structure In Secre-
t'liy Crounsn's possession. In place of the
rather mndequato treatment of the main en
trance on Sixteenth street which excited so
much criticism In the Hrst nlans , the super
vising architect has now designed an open
arcade entrance composed of live Venetian
nrches opening Into u vestibule which extends
to each wing Hanking tbo main entrance.
The effect is n decided improvomoiitand adds
materially to the appearance of the Sixteenth
street front.
The perspective view of the now Beatrice
public building hr.s just been issued from the
olllco of the supervising architect of the
treasury. Tlio building will very success
fully solve the problems of an appearance of
stability and sightliness in stylo. H Is of the
composite Henalssanco order. The main di
vision of the fncadc contains u Imndsomo en
trance of thren Venetian urches approached
by a tier of boven stone stops. Above the
fiont , Is broken by a group of three square
windows capped above the cornice bv a
himdbomo gable and stone arched opening.
On the right is the postofllco moper with
rootnv opnnlngs for light carried up to the
bPcond story. The roof is relieved by n
prominent square chimney in the rear and
two gables. On the right of the entrance
rises a tall quadrangular tower which at the
joof changes to an octagonal Khape and is
cupped by a slated peak of the same lorm.
Spo.ikt r Crisp I ellr.iit ,
Speaker Crisp said this afternoon that ho
would surely bo ready to announce the coin-
icittoos of the house next \Vodr.osday , when
tnero would bo an adjournment of congress
over the holidays , possibly till January 5.
It was not believed that the speaker could
accomplish this tu k in tlmo for announcement
on Wednesday , but it Is said ho has grown
thoioimhly disgusted at the manner In which
ho has boon hammered by ouUido Inllucnco
and the kicks ho has received from his own
friends In congress , nnu Is Impatient to got
the work off his hands.
Ho intends to leave the olty on the first
train for Georgia after the committees bavo
been announced and stay away until the
storm has passed over , as ho oxpccts the
composition of some of his committees will
ralso thu biggest kind of trouble.
No Silver I < ejlHlntlon.
There will be no silver legislation In this
congress. Mr. Crisp was tiloetod speaker on
the Ireo coinage platform , but ho has already
vacated It. Ux-Koprosontatlvo Pat Collins
ol ilostou Is , in Washington nnd has road tlio
riot act to Speaker Crisp. Ho has told him
that If the commltto'j on coinage reports
favorably n free sliver bill General Harrison
will bi' re-elected by the largest majority
ever given a pivsldont. Mr. Collins has told
the spcakor that not only Now York , but the
cnlire south and u majority of the west are
bitterly opposed to fioe coinage , and even to
report' upon or wink at free silver in the
house , not to mention tuvorablo action by thu
houio , would bo to open a breach in the dem
ocratic ranlis which could not bo brought
together in years.
it is i > aid taut the statement of Collins
made a very profound Impression on the
he practically promised that the
commltteo on coinage would bo composed of
men who would not bo favor.iblo to action
upon the frco coinage bill.

WASIIISI.TOK , U. C. , Doe. 19 [ Special
Telegram to Tun Bui : . ] The house uominlt-
too on rules to Jay recommended thut the
commltteo on Indian depredation claims bo
abolished , and the house agree I to thu recom
mendation. In the last congress this was an
important committee. It contained thirteen
members and had plenty of hard work to do.
At that Itmo a man who wanted to col'oct '
pay for damages wieckod by the Indians had
vorv llttlo show unless ho could got a special
bill through congress , and by the tlmo ho did
that only his heirs were likely to profit by it.
The Indian dnprcdutlons net of March II ,
Ib'Jl , onablob every sufferer to tuko his case
directly to thu court of claims and upon a
favorable decision there the faith of the gov
ernment Is pledged to n prompt appropria
tion of the monov. This rcndois u house
commltteo on Indian depredation claims un
necessary and it is therefore , cut off. The
volume of these claims has proved to bo
something enormous. It Is estimated that
the total amount called for will roach from
$30.000,000 to $10.000.000 of which $10,000.000
will represent cusos already Intrusted to Tin :
lir.i : and Uxamlnor Claim Bureau.
The bureau was originally organised to
baiuilo this class of work , aud while it bus
now extended Its operations to cover claims
of every description , It still devotes careful
attention to tbosulTorers from Indian depre
dations. Assistant Attorney General Colby ,
who has been appointed to defend the gov
ernment's IntorosUs in this matter , speaks In
the highest terms of the enterprise of Tin :
Bir. : and ICxamlner.
By the terms of the act all claims must bo
presented within three years of Its passage :
that Is to say , within about two years and
two months of tlio present tlmo they will bo
thrown out of court. Poisons who 'utoml to
take advantage of the law have no tlmo to
lese therefore In getting their cnsos ready
for action. They should conumiulr-nto nt
once with Tin : Bun nnd Examiner Bureau of
Claims , which they can do without charge ,
und learn what stops to take next.

gram to Tun Bun.J The ilrst part of n start
ling sensation concerning ono of Kearney's
pioneer citizens was given to the public
today. J. G. McCumber , a young man of
Pickwick , Minn. , surprised George Hurlburt
yesterday by the information that ho was
Hurlburt's son and produced a photograph
which resembled Mr. Hurlburt , although it
had been taken n long tlmo ago. McCumbor
also had n letter ftotn Mr. Hurlburt's mother
and sister living In Gage county whkh helped
to conlirm the young man's claims. McCum-
ber's part of the story is that Ilurlburt's true
name is McCumber and that ho left n wife
and llvo chl'dron about the tlmo of
the breaking out of the war und
thut no afterward mairied n woman
naiuod Hurlburt taking her name. Ho claims
that ho has the sworn testimony of Hurl-
hurt's mother and sister to the truth ot this.
Mr. Hurlburt donles thu whole story , and
bis frlonds say It Is a case of blackmail , but
for what purpoio they are at a loss to know.
McCumber has crone homo , and says ho will
employ u JotectUo who will go to the bottom
of the story and show up Hurlburt's terrible
career. Mr. Hurlburt is a well to do ranch
man living south ot Kearney , nnd has linan-
clul Interests In tills city. Ho is 01:0 of the
lirst settlers hero , and in an early dav con
trolled a stage line from Fort Keaniov und

with just onnugh bright cotton to make the

has been constructed a fhoemnkor's shop ,
with the cobbler In plain view , sowing axvay
as if his hfo denondod upon it. A largo sign
over the door advocates the patronage
of homo industry , while a boot
at the sldo of the door guarantees
that his work Is "neatly dono. " Around the
