LINCOLN , Neb. , Jan. 25. [ SpecialTelegram
to Tun Iir.B.--A ] number of scalpers have
bicri at work to'lay buying up the paper of
nil parties having claims against the Capital
National bank. They have stool : on the cor
ner of the front of the bank , and have im-
] > ortnncd every ono who approached , if np-
jforanccs Indicated that the newcomer was
n depositor In the collapsed concern. The
prices offered ranged from 05 to 90 cents on
the dollar , and the shavers were able to got
hold of a considerable amount of the claims ,
f-'orcral of the depositors are busy men who
nrodoing business on a small capital , and as
they could not afford to have their money
tied up they were forced to accept the terms
offered , on the theory that something was
belter than nothing.
It is practically settled that Boggs will
not bo the receiver of the bank , as the
creditors have made up their minds lhal'-
there has already been too much | > oltlcs ! in
connection with the management of the In
stitution. Senator Paddock received a telegram -
gram this afternoon from S. C. Smith , presi
dent of the First National bank of Beatrice ,
and a relative of the senator , telling him to
hold the recommendation for tbo receiver
ship until ho could get hero. Some of the
Omaha bankers are also dipping Inlo the
matter , and tholr cholco Is E. 10. Balch of

A flurry of ovcltcment was caused this
evening by the report that Mnshor had been
indicted by the federal grand Jury ami after
Volng arraigned had pleaded guilty to em
bezzlement , and had been sentenced to live
years In the penitentiary. The officials of
the federal court were besought with in
quiries and were kept busy for fully an hour
denying Iho roporl.
It Is stated , however , on very good author
ity that Iho grand jury Is at work on the
case and that 11 vo counts have already been
Hied there against Mosher. Thcro are
countless other cases to follow , In the event
that anything comes of these already filoJ.
It Is understood that Bank Examiner
Griffith found the affairs of the bank in
very bad shape Tind evidence of fraud that
impelled him to lay the matter before the
grand Jury. Mosber has been closeted all
day with his attorney , C , O. Whcedon , ar-
I ranging his papers , and it is rumored is getS -
S ting his affairs in shape to leave. Uotoc-
[ tlvcs have boon watching him , and It Is
slated that In case ho attempts to leave ho
f will bo arrested. The statement was made
this evening by a man who is supposed to
bo ns familiar with Iho Insldo facts as any
one , thai Mosher would not bo hero in the
morning. Ho further stated that the bank
rrould not pay 05 cents on the dollar , ' and
Avhen taken up by a local banker , made a bet
tlmt the bank would not oven pay 55 cents
on the dollar.

Mosher remained within the walls of the
penitentiary all day , while his attorney was
Bcurrying hero and there in the role of a
messenger boy. Mosher refused to attend
the meeting of the directors of Iho Imnk this
afternoon , claiming that ho was too busy
with his personal matters. The meeting
I was uuQVVntful , as the reason for holding it
[ wag to got the president of Iho Institution
I before the directors , in order to require him
I to make an explanation and answer a lot of
I questions regarding mailers on which they

The new law relating to the de. | > oslt of
Dtnto funds with national banks of the sev
eral aumtles has gone intoV'ffect ns far as
the theory is concerned , but It is likely to be
BOJIIO time before it will bo in practical oper-
[ atlou t'p to date but few applications have
been received by the board , and no action
has been taken In any of them. Shaking of
the matter reciuUy , State Treasurer Bart-
I Icy said >
I "Tho funds will bo placed under the dlrec-
I tlon of a board consisting of the governor.
I secretary of state and attorney general. As
fast ns the applications como In I have
handed them to onn .of tlicsc gentle
men. The board will Ira In no haste
to make arrangements for the dciwslts
as every application will l > e carefully con
sidered before any decision Is arrived at.
Tbo law is somewhat impracticable , and if
carried out according to the full letter of the
act the slate treasury would often bo placed
at a serious disadvantage. For Instance :
Supiioso all the available funds in any ono
fund should bo deposited in banks remote
from the state capital , and then all nt once
the warrants drawn upon that particular
fund should should 1m presented for pay
ment. You cah readily see that I would not
be able to comply with the law , which pays
that I must pay warrants oul of any fund
as soon as tbo money In thai fund becomes
available.
What Mr , Hartley I'm or * .
' 'I would favor a lawbased upon the princi
ple of the national banking act. Let the stale
banks which deslro to handle state deposits
place In the hands of the state treasurer
bonds and other securities to the full amount
of the deposit aslccd for. Then if the bank
failed the state would bo protected from
loss. Under thy present law thu bonds.of
private parties will not always sccuro the
state against loss In case of the failure of the
bank holding Iho state deposits. Since I
have taken charge of the office It has hap
pened thai I have been called upon to pay
oul largo sums of money. What could I
have done If the state's funds were scatlercd
among a score or more of banks in all parts
of the state. Checks on the banks would
not bo received by parties desiring to cash
stale warrants , for if they could not get the
cash they would prefer to bold warrants
drawing 7 per cent Interest than checks upon
a bank that they know nothing about. "

Talk of ImllctniciitH lleiird In Iho United
Slate * Court Home Here.
There were some very interesting rumors
floating around the United Stales court
house yesterday pertaining to the Lincoln
bank failure. The United Slates court Is
now in session at Lincoln and a grand Jury
lias been called.
"I am informed , " said a gentleman who
occupies a position pretty close to the prose
cuting atlorhcy and the court , "thai Iho
federal grand jury will bring In an indict
ment against both Mosher and Outcalt of
the defunct Capital National bank. I
learned Ihls morning that the ca so was now
before the Jury aii'l It will not bo surprising
to see the arrest of these two men at any
tlmo. "
Another Omaha man told a BEI : reporter
thai II was not true that tli e comptroller of
the currency had llrst telegraphed Mr.
Griffith , the bank examiner , to proceed1 to
Lincoln and take charge of the Capital Na
tional bank.
"A young man who works in our bank , "
said the gentleman , "went homo with Mr.
Griffith last Friday , anil was at Mr. Grif
fith's homo al Wahoo when the llrst news
of the ruined condition of the bank reached
the bank examineIt came In the stripe
of a telegram from Hlchard Oulcall. cashier
of Iho broken hank. The loUwam ro-
qucslcd Mr. Grllllth to go to Lincoln and
close the bank. "
The talk about the rotlenness of the de
funct financial concern naturally leads to
remarks concerning state officials and
methods of conducting public business ,
"Thero will bo n great shaking of odorl
ferous bones , I Imagine , before this bank
failure is explained , " remarked a gentleman
today who is something of a politician him
self. "It will be found before the investiga
tion has proceeded very far thai there wert
others In Iho game to skin the state along
with Mosbcr and Outcalt. In a conversation
with Chancellor Cartlleld but a short tlmo
ago ho told mo thai ho was approached
last fall by Tom Bcnton , ex-auditor of
state , and given to understand that
he must not push his economical
measures too far in regulating the coal
supply for tbo state university. Bcnton
said , 'Look hero chancellor , if you 1mvo como
into this state to inaugurate an era of econ
omy in conneelton with the state university ,
the hoys will drop you mighty quick and you
will find it.inighty hard slcddin' when they
let you go.1
"Now the secret of this extraordinary ac
tion on the part of Iho slate auditor lay ir
the fact thai Chancellor Canlleld had ticor.
running the state university on about half
tbo coal bill turned In during former years.
The gang had not been given a chance to get

lapse Is sltll the subject for considerable local
discussion and a new feature of the case has
been developed today. Several of the credl
tors , whoso accounts with the bank have ex
tended back of the time of the withdrawal
from the firm of McKinney & Scougal
of C. E. McKlnnny , the well known
Sioux Falls banker , are seriously
thinking of causing Mr. McKlnney
to answer lo tbo charge of conducting a bank
and receiving deposits of money after the
bank had become insolvent. It Is asserted
thai Mr. McKinnev did not withdraw untL
about seven years ago when the hooks show
thai tbo bank had been insolvent for moro
than eight years. Two or three persons hold
certificates of deposit antedating Mr. Me
Kinnoy's separation from the bank and they
maintain thai ho is equally guilty with
George B. Scougal , deceased , if any crlmo
has been committed.

So said a member of tbo bouse this evening
when asked concerning tbo outlook for to
morrow. The remark aimed at Senator Paddock -
dock , \vboso election Is now conceded to bo
out of the question , but who has developed
considerable stubbornness and insists on re
maining in the race to the exclusion of all
tbo aspirants who might como on if bo were
out of the way. It has been a constitutional
weakness of the senator to regard one vote
as equivalent to an election over since bo
banked with so much posltlvcness on the
vote of McDowell In 1875. Ho will
not give up , so tbo republican contingent has
settled down to the slow work of killltif him
oft by inches. It is not considered to tbo in
terest of an.v candidate who has men now voting
ing for Paddock to take away that support
from tbo senator for the purpose of improv
ing bis own position , as it Is regarded as im
politic to court the antagonism of Paddock ,
against the time until such candidate might
eventually come into the lead. Thus it is
that the game is blocked until Paddock can
bo convinced that be is dead.

W. S. Manning , who has been an editorial
writer on the Albany Evening Journal for
tbo past t WCMI ty years , and now acting as
political correspondent , is in the city.
Speaking today of the situation here , ho in
quired how it was abat Padilock was receiv
ing the support of republican mcmbeis of the
legislature.
"Ho is one of the six , " said Mr. Manning.
"to whom may bo attributed tbo defeat of
the republican party at the last election.
Had the election bill'passed the senate the
result might have been entirely different. It
would have split the solid south and would
have given the republicans in the state of
New York an opportunity to have done
something. It looks very much as if the re
publicans in this state constituted a party in
name but represented no principle. There Is
evidence in too many places that the party
has fallen into the bands of men who care
more about their personal success than
about the interests of the party or of the
people. It Is so in New York , where the
machine is in the hands of men who always
succeed In holding office under democratic
administrations. They play Into the bands
of ono democratic faction or the other , and
are always provided for , because of their
constant betrayal of the republican party. It
is imiKJssiblo to effect a reorganization , and I
see no hope for deliverance from democratic
control In New York until there Is a radical
change in the leadership of our party. "

playing tbo dark horse racket for all it is
worth. Ho has established headquarters on
tbo liflh lloor of the Lincoln , with M. V.

however , have thrown a wet blanket on bis
aspirations by declaring that no democrat of
the Boyd-Morton typo with no antimonopoly -
monopoly antecedents can hupo for any as
sistance from them. They insist that if tbo
tlrno comes when it will bo necessary for
them to throw their votes to a candidate of

Another declaration coming from the inde

of tbo most prominent of tbo counsellors and
advisers of the populists. Ho said that anew

no man now holding an olllco need toopa \ \ to

Attempted Conference I'utlcd ,
The republicans tried to hold a conference
this evening , but less than half of their men
were present ana nothing was done. Sev
eral of the republicans refused to attend ,
fearing that an attempt would bo made to
change the meeting into a caucus.
A move is on foot to crowd Thurston back
upon the track ar.d his supporters are work
ing for him oven harder than before his
withdrawal from tbo race. That the Omaha
man has a great dral of hidden strength
cannot bo denied , and If tbo tlmo comes
when it can bo fully uncovered it will bo a
revelation to those who gave up all thought
of him when ho stepped down and out be
cause of the pressure brought to bear to that
end by the Omaha committee that went to
Now York to wait upon the powers behind
the Union Paeillo tin-one.
Umiglug County Contexts Deferred.
It is not settled whether tlio Douglas
county contest cases will como up tomorrow
or not. The republican members of the committee -
mitteo of privileges and election say that
they have not completed their report , and
tlmt it will require another day for them to
do so. The death of Representative Farrcll
reduces tbo .number of the committee to ten ,
and four of them are republicans. It is con
fidently asserted by some of the republican
managers that ono of the independents will
vote with them , while Rhodes , another of
the independent members of the
committee , has stated that ho would
never vote to oust the republican
contestccs , although ho might vote to throw
out certain precincts and some of the votes
In other precincts. When the cases do
llnally como before the public the intention
is to have John M. Thurston put the case to
that body on behalf of the contcstces. It is
not yet known who will present the case for
the contestants , although in all probability
it will bo T. J. Mahoney.

, DEIIUSJan. . 25. Tbo whole city was dec
orated with Hags last evening and this morn
ing in celebration of the wedding of Princess
Margaret , youngest sister of the emperor ,
and Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse.
It rained most of tbo morning , but
at I o'clock tbo sun x came out
and before 4 , tbo hour for the
marriage , the streets were dry and crowded
with sightseers. The civil ceremony was
performed by Co-jut von Webel of the royal
household in the hall of Empress Frederick's
palace.
The bride and bridegroom were taken to
the Schloss through the crowd that lined
the streets since 10 o'clock this morning. At
the Schloss the royal personages gathered in
the Chinese cabinet to see the Empress Au
gusta Victoria place the bridal crown upon
Princess Margaret's head.
Prince Frederick Charles and his bride
then led the procession to the chapel , where
the religious ceremony was to bo performed.
They were followed by the Empress Fred-
crick and escorted by the emperor in gala
uniform , the Empress Augusta Victoria , es
corted by the king of Saxony and by the
ezarcwltch In the uniform of the Westphalia
Hussars , and the duke of Edlnburg and the
grand duke of Uaden.
What the llrlilo Wore.
The bride were a gown of white silk and
ercpo du choine , ornamented with sprays of
white daisies and caught at the waist by a
gold girdle. Her only Jewelry was a diamond
mend necklace. Court Chaplain Drlander
awaited the bridal party at the altar In a
bower of palms and chrysanthemums. The
Princess Margaret made her responses llrmly.
As the couple exchanged rings the artillery
in the Lustgarten fired thirty-six salvos.
The ceremony was followed by the wedding
banquet , after which came the fackeltani ! .
Chancellor von Caprlvi was excused by
Emperor William from participating in this
dance.
After the dance , which was opened by
twelve ministers of state , and was partici
pated in by the bride and groom and emperor
and empress , the pages led the procession
around and escorted tbo young couple to the
door of tbo bridal chamber. The mistress of
ceremonies distributed garters among the
gentlemen , and the celebration was ended
for the night.
The revival of the fackeltanzo , a quaint
custom at Hussian weddings , has caused
some adverse comment , as it is believed
hardly to become the dignity of tbo ministers
of ( state to lead in it. The dance wiss
omitted at court ceremonies during the
mourning for Emperor William 1. and many ,
hoped it would not bo revived.

PAIUS , Jan. 25. M. Harboux , continuing
his defense of the canal conspiracy , con
tended that both Ferdinand do Lessens and
Charles do Lcsseps were perfectly Jtistllled
in doing their utmost to maintain public con
fidence in the Panama canal scheme , in the
hojto of averting menacing dangers. There
fore , the lectures delivered in the provinces
in aid of the Rename were legitimate. If
Ferdinand do Lcsscps erred , it was as an op
timist. "But , " exclaimed M. Barboux , "tbo

"It was true , " continued M. Barboux ,
"that Ferdinand and Charles do Losseps
might have been deceived by events , but
such an error cannot bo regarded as culpa
ble. "
Ho took up the question of the agreements
made between the camil board of directors
and the contractors for the work on the

and Indemnities bad the unanimous approval
of the board , and ho maintained that the
