these predleticms have varied all the wuj
from 10 to 10 * per unit.
Not the least interested in the matter ha
liccn State Treasurer Hartley He has been
kept lib much in the dark as tinjouo , jet he
has , within the past twentj-four horns , ic-
ceived assurances that the bank will paj al

At Mr Burtlei's request Bill Dorgan

Borne tangible statement that would enable
the bUte to make a reasonable estimate ate
to its probable loss Mr Mosher sent word
to the treasurer that he believed the bank
would jiaj the amount above stated , and be
based bin estimate upon the following
grounds The assessment upon the stock
holders-nonld reahrc not far from $130,000
The amount should , of course , be in excess of
this sum , but there ate a number of stock
holders who w ill IK > unable to meet their
assessments. The balance of the amount ,
Mr Mosher stated , would IKJ realized from

Mr Mosher further informed Mr Bartlev
that his ovrn personal defalcation bj reason
of iruudulent entries and bogus certificates
would amount to about $400,000 This amount
docs not include , of course , the amount of
money raised bj Mo&hcr on the bogus notes

Lincoln has been jiracticalli deserted to-
duj , as far as the legislative contingent has
IKJCU concerned , most of the members of the
two houses luvitur taken advantage of the
Sundnj recess to t isit their homes Several
members of the Joint committee that A isitud
the Soldiers' borne at Grand Island j ester-
daj have roturr od to the city , and although
they Jiave not j ot agreed upon the report
they will submit to the two houses , it has
developed that all of the members are not

will be made , but manj ofho members , at

the interests of false ccouomj Iii other
words , the inmates 1mo not been properly

The keen anxiety of the manapement to

counted 138KK ( ) of the 209.000 ballots What
he result will be can onlj be conjectured , as
reports concerning the present status ot the
count nro iery vague and contradictory
The stori tht t is l eiug assiduously cir
culated bj the railroad contingent is that
the railw ay commission amendment will not
come within 7,000 votes of carri inp , and that
.he amendment rotating to the investment of
the iKirmiiticnt Bchool fund is but ! MKK ) votes
ahead of the other Notwithstanding these
btatements , the impression prevails that
there is n deeply laid scheme to count in bath
of the amendments , anJ u great
manj people who are believed to
be ns veil nformcd as to what
Is poitig on as it is possible for a person to
be. will lie vcrv much surprised if this is not
done Information that oueht to be reliable
is to the effect that the count at the close of
work Pridaj evening , at whiuh time 102.031
ballots bad been counted , showed that the
school fund amendment had a majority of
sexcntv-Jhc , and the railroad amendment
was a little o\erHOOJ behind , but "coining

Tlie "figgering'1 is being done by Jim
Cline ef Miuden , ex-candidate for state audlth
teir. who rejiresents Auditor Moore , who is a
mennbei of the committee in charge of the
count He does all tne totaling and no one
else is allowed to gvt a jieep at tbe figures
According to his statement the school
amendment was -1,200 behind at the close of
business Fridaj night aud the other out of
sight iu the rear
His stated jthut the gain is not looked for
through the finding of wronglj counted
votes as verj little change is made on that
score but it is held that the amendments
need onlj u majority of the veites cast fir (
members of the legislature It is estimated
that vv hiio 20' ) ( KM votes were cast for gov
ernor there were less than 170 000 cast fof
the legislative ticket The recount engi
neers ui e estimating the number at Iti7.000 ,
and therefore hold that 84,000 votes will be
sufficient to carrj the amendments
It is intimated that thei e is a method in
the statements that are made , announcing
that noithei of tbe amendments w ill carry ,
and that the grow lug jiossibiliti of rallioad
legislation his much to do with it It in
creases the desiie on the jiart of the rail
roads to have the amendments cairi , in
order that hostile legislation may be
warded off bv statements of what the com
mission will accomplish , and the belief is
current that the stories as to the certain de
feat of ttie amendments are being chculated
to disarm suspicion and divert Interest , that
the waj may be clear for making the final
footings vv ithout fear of outside sujiervision
or Intel rujition
I'riiK-HR of the Count.
Several of the larper counties are being
loft until the last but for what reason is no
stated Douglas county was one of the flrsl
counted , us it was believed that it would
furnish a basis on which to estimate th
final Jesuit , but neither Lancaster , Gage nor
Lancaster county is looked to as bemg cer
tain to furnish n large increase in the vote
foi the ruilioad amendment. None of the
clerks who are at vvotk on the recount
know un.vthiiig about the situation , as
none of them are allowed to see > the
figures , uud can only tell that'the ballots
arc running "about the same us thej
bin cbee-n all the time " It can readily bo
seen that if it is true that the roads are de
termined to count the amendments in , re
gardless of fairness , Justice or right , there
will tie nothing wbatever aC"the close of the
count to jirevent the arrangement of tiie re-
suit to the satisfaction of the jiarti having
tnat mutter in charge A shortage , no
matter how large , could be divided
up among the counties , and when the
final announcement was made no One would
lie aui the wiser. Not onlj would this be
jiossible , but It w ould bo as simjilo and easj *
as rolling off u log , and the iccouut would tie
rendered a roaring farce , having for its read-
ilj attained object the overturning bj a sin
gle man of the exjuessed will of the voters of
the entire state
There is believed to be a disposition and
incentive to do this , and as the means to ac
complish it are at hand , it may readily be
surmised that the outcome is awaited with
interest by tbjise who are thoroughlj famil
iar w ith the situation

Nebraska's ( new senator saj s of him "While

features while regular are strong He has a
massive head covered with straight , dark
hair and it is well set upon shoulders w hich

Trouble In thu llluLk Heplililln.
A -icport that serious opposition to the
government of Heun aux has arisen iu the
republic of San Dominpo causes no surprise
in Washington This is regarded in diplo
matic circles beie as but u natural result of
the acquisition hi an American syndicate of
the control of the obligations of that repub
lic , which implies the administration b.v
American influences of the Treasury depart
ment and especially of the collection of cus
toms icvcnue In addition to this , the ru
mor of the impending revolt finds credence
iu the well known desire of the United
States to acauire Samauu ba.v us a coaling
and repair station President Hemeaux
has alwavs been suspected b.tho . anti-
American partin Sau Domingo of being
fneudlv to the United States , but he has
thus far been able to maintain his jiosition
The other black republic of the ishind ,
Huyti , which is oulj separated from Sun
Domingo bj a range of mountains , bus also
been excited b.icports that its president ,
Hippolyte , would favoiablj consider the
cession to the United States of the mole
St Nicholas for a coaling station , lu each
republic on the little island there is being
fomented , it is said hcie , a feeling against
the United States b.v European capital
ists The coutiol b.v American
capitalists of the finances of r
Sun Domingo ma.v , it is said , lead to a dem-
onstiatiou against that country bj Ha.vtl
Such u demonstration would onlj tend to aid
the auti-Henrcaux revolutionists and rnignt'
lead to the intervention of a United States
man of v * ar and the landing of our blue
jackets , as at Honolulu , for the protection of
jiropertj and the pieventioa of bloodshed
Jt is therefore quite possible that the in
coming administration maj hav e to meet , as
| j
one of its first problems , the establishment
of a protectorate or the actual annexation of
the island of the two black republics It is
not likelj that Gieat Britain would look
upon such a step w ith as much complacency
us she appears to legard our pi ospective con
trol of the Haw aiiau islands

WASIIINOTOV D C. , Feb 20 Secretary
Rusk of the Department of Agriculture sujs
that farmers in all parts of the country are
inquiring as to the jiroliable jirofit of feeding
corn to hops at present , llo desires to state
that the jirosjioct of largo icturns from Judi
cious hog feeding has never been ST bright
as now In average" j'ears it takes about
nine jiounds of hogs , live waiiht , to bring
the price of a .bushel of corn
This jear five jioui ds of hogs bring
as much as a bushel of corn If ten jiounds
of tiort-are made from a bushel of corn ,
wnlch inaj bo taken as a fair retuin , then
the weseut prices of hops would make corn
bring about 85 cents a bushel if fed to these
animals , which is about twice as much as it
is now quoted on the Chicago market
Instead of sending pisrs- and half fat hops
to market , us thousands have done , only to
find that such unintal were unfit for jiack-
ing and would bring but -a couiparativolj
small price , these animals should be kept on
the farm and fattened on the corn which is
now so cheap in the market
The high jirice of begs is said to lie largelj
due to the meat inspection carried on t > i the
Department of Agriculture , which opened
the market to Europe and enabled shipjiers
to send tbo surjilus hog products out of the
countrj Following this came a shortage in
the hog product The number of hops packed
this winter is not only less than it has been
jireviousl.v , but thei hops were lighter in
weight , so that there has been a much
smaller quantitj of hop jiroducts jnepareJ
When the advance in jrice came the f aimers
sold their breeding stock , w hich cannot be

Ho therefore thinks that it is jierfc'Ctli

toaay expi essed his confident coiivicttOu that
the treatv of annexation made with the com-
misslouers of the provisional government of
Hawaii was w.icticalli defeated He said
that the senate would be asked next w eek
to upiKJiut a commission to visit the islands
and investigate the coudltiou of affaiis
there
If this were done , he said , the semte and
the country would learn the conditions under
which the people of Hawaii would almost

Mr Neuman criticised the action of Mi

proposition to Minister Lincoln in Lemdon to
accejita United States protectorate over the
