Hi TUB BKK. ] Commissioner Joseph Gar-
Beau , Jr , , from Omaha , arrived in the city
Riduy to personally superintend the work nt
10 Nebraska state World's fair building.
B.c spent tlio greater part of the day nt the
Qroitnds In consultation with Mr. Sctli P.
Biloblcy , who hus bad charge of the work In
yjlr. Garncau's absence. Air. F. A. Barton
yf Pawnee county also arrived to take
burgo of the Installation of the educational
inhibit , and Mr E. Whltcomb of Friend to
bupcrlnteml the dairy exhibit.
B Mrs. I angworlhy of Seward and Mrs. Me-
BOonald of North Plutto lire hero to uttcnd
Ilo the settling of the ladies reception rooms.
R A number of exhibits came in today and
Bwcro being unpacked. Among them was u
tfcorn table which the ladies of Webster
county sent us n representation of the
| coil nty. The surface of the top is a ropro-
Rduction of the map of tlio county with its
( townships and creeks. The legs are sup-
Rposcdly four immense cars of corn , though It
Bis hardly expected that easterners will bo so
credulous as to accept them us wonders of
BNobraska resources. The workmanship is
Bexqalsito and does credit to the designer ,
Mrs. R. A. Burbcr of Red Cloud.
B In Inhibition Hull.
B In Exhibition hull decorating is going for-
Bwurd rapidly. The southeast corner has
Ilicen alloted to Frontier county , mid panels
I of grain iiro already In place.
I Lancaster comity occupies tlio southwest
B corner and Its panels of gruln und grasses
Bare now on tbo wall. The decorators liavo
B been much delayed by tlio Electric Light
t company which has only just finished putting
I In the system of lighting.
Mr Mobley said today that ho no longer
hoped to have the work completed by Mon
day , but that the confused state of affairs
[ that now prevailed would ho done r.wuy
I with und the rooms cleaned up for the re-
\ceptlon of visitors even though the men
\ were obliged to return to their work on
3 Tuesday.
Caino of Much Delay.
B Mr. Mobloy has been seriously delayed in
< Retting the work started by the dilatory
J transportation of the exhibits. Eight days
J time Is required to obtain u car of goods
[ after It arrives at the grounds , anil ,
I exhibitors not understanding tills , per-
I haps delayed shipping longer than
was absolutely necessary. At any
I rate , the exhibits have only Just arrived at
i tlio building The greater part of them con-
1 slsts of grains and grain decorations and
wooden cuscs In which the displays will
bo made. Dawson county's exhibit In the
lot in of the United States Hag wrought in
; grain arrived a few days ago.
Tie | furniture for the parlors 1ms nil been
purt'liused. ' and will arrive some time during
| the \\'i.'elr. , Considerable inconvenience is
I felt by the absence of any kind of boating
apparatus. ' .flip rooms are too cold us yet
for comfort , liiiu no provision was made for
I putting In'oithcr gas or coal heaters. Mr.
I Mobloy is trying to obtain permission for
| introduction of stoves , and , in the meantime ,
uxe'rcisihg to keep warm. Ho has made
arrangements witii the Wuukcshn Hygelu
contpuny to supply the building with water ,
so that NebrusKnns need have no fear of the
yrutcrs of Lake Michigan.
< iroiiii < l * llciiiitliiitly Arranged.
I The spacious grounds surrounding the
building have been graded into sloping lawns
mil the site on the banks of tlio lagoon hus
offered an opportunity of extensive landscape -
scapo gardening The grape vines which
grow naturally at the west door are to bo
entwined over an arbor extending from the
porch to the wutcu's edge. Bouts will bo
provided so itliat the Nebraska pcoplo can
l.row fulrly into the Esquimaux village , if
I they so dcsiro. Ncbruskans have the ad-
I vantage of the Esquimaux , Inasmuch us they
I can see the whole village from tlio second-
[ story windows of the state building. That
I Is , provided any of the Esquimaux remain to
E bo seen. But half the Inhabitants are now
I to bo seen In the village , and they are dully
I threatening to leave.
I At the corner of Fifty-seventh street nnd
I the boulevard on which the building fronts ,
I n llugstuff 100 feet in height is to be erected ,
| The Hag itself will bo 2 1x3(1 ( feet in size und
I at that height will bo visible from n long
I distance. Rustic seats will bo scattered
I about the grounds and probably through the
I warm months many lawn parties will bo
I held.
t lu the agricultural building Nobruska's
1 exhibit is going forward with dispatch.
I Six or eight ladies are employed in sorting
I and tlclng up the wheat nnd out heads pro-
I pnr.Uory to working them Into the designs
I which huvo already begun to take shape.
I The pavilion has been covered witli silk and
E red nnd blao paper , upon which the designs
I arc wrought. The pillars which support tlio
I pavilion are glass cylinders llllcn with grains
I mid present the appearance of llnely polished
I granite and marble. "Tho conception is
I wonderful , the execution faultless , " and u
I most important part is that this exhibit will
I bo completed by May 1.
, An to louik'H I'.xlil'ilt ,
I The lowu Columbian commission Is no
I longer to bo found at the old stand In the
I Moniidnock building. Visitors from the
[ state will now bo obliged to go to Jackson
I park If they wish to transact business with
i Secretary ( Ihaso.
I The movement of the oftleo was attcndeil
f with dlnicultles In one of the most drench

' .iriilturo urrlvcd at the stuto building anil
, ' wiis Homo time before the liownimur of
J Ain permitted the men to remove the tar-
I iW"n cover and carry In the goods. An
I y\ < ) l' later , however. Secretary Chnso and
M " monographer were settled In their now
I 'iiiarters and ready for work. A roaring
[ ijro gave u cheer to the room that made one
I nrgot the inclement weather out of doors.
I The secretary was in the best of spirits.
I notwithstanding the diitlculties with which
I the change was made. Ho said to tlio
I reporter , who arrived Just in time to
I see the furniture curried in : "You
I toll the people out there that wo
B are moved and that the lowu stuto building
I is now open to visitors. Wo chose tlio worst
I day of the year to come , but wo nvo hero
I and are now ready to welcome any of our
I people who como to the fair. And don't for-
I got to remind them that Iowa will bo rcudv
I for tlio opening on Muy I. "
I Before the ofllco rooms were all settled
I Mrs. S , B , Maxwell , who has been engaged
| nil winter in collecting the literature of the
I state , arrived to take charge of the Iowa
rrcss rooms. She left the city with the in-
t'ntioii of going immediately to work , but
she found the rooms were not quite finished
I nnd was obliged to postpone settling them
I until Saturday Shu will porsonullv super-

Commissioner Hovcy , who has had entire
charge of the building nndinrrungcmcnts for
the opening , Issued a number of Invitations

At u meeting of the national commissioners
this afternoon the Sunday closing question
was again revived. A resolution was offered
by Commissioner Touslev of Minnesota , call
ing for the withdrawal from the Judiciary
committee of the resolution offered April 20
by Commissioner Etbuiek of Iowa , referring
the matter relating to the Sunday opening
juestion to the local directors. Mr. Touslcy
said the matter of whether or not the gates
ihotild bo opened had been settled once , and
10 saw no reason for bringing it up n train.
Mr. Eibuiok s'lld that ho was opposed to
ho withdrawal of his resolution. Ho beloved -
loved that the gates should ha opened , pro
viding it could bo shown that the act of con
gress was contrary to the laws of the state
> f Illinois : by closing the gates thousands of
aboring men would bo prevented from see-
ng the fair.
After u discussion of considerable length
klr. Touslcy nsked permission to withdraw
ils resolution. It was granted and the mo
tion was withdrawn.

LIlllCItAl , WITH THICIlt GOLD.
O.Tern Unrolled nt thn Treasury from All
I'nrtH of thn Country , Kse | lt Nu\v York.
WASIIIXOTOX , D. C. , April 23. Offers , of
gold in exchange for legal tender notes are
still being rocelvoJ at the Treasury depart
ment , quite a number having como in today.
In no single case is the amount large , but the
aggregate runs up into the hundreds of thou
sands. Thcso various offers are now begin
ning to nnpoar on the books of the treasury ,
the actual exchange of money for the gold
having taken place. During the past week ,
as now appears , offers have boon made and
accepted from San Francisco , Hoauoke , Va. ,
Pittsbnrg , St. Louis , Boston , Norfolk , Va. .
Columbus , Ga. , Baltimore , Philadelphia and
Now Orleans.
Reports from Now York indicate that very
little. If any gold will go out tomorrow , and
this fact , taken in connection with the low
rate of exchange , was accepted by the treas
ury oaiclals as a most encouraging fact , and
an indication that if the gold tide has not
actually turned in our favor , it has been
stemmed for the present.
There Is still considerable talk of an extra
session of congress for the considoritloii of
the Ilnancial question , but if , as is generally
believed , the reserve fund is now regarded
by the administration as so much available
gold for the mooting of its obligations , it is
improbable that there will bo so alarming
a depletion of this fund as to render neces
sary an extra session of congress fortho con
sideration of ways and me.ins. The concen
sus of opinion scorns to bo that an extra ses
sion will bo convened about the 1st of Sep
tember , for this session will not bo called
any more for Iho consideration of tlio finan
cial question than for the adjustment of the
tariff.

In4 Their Payment.
WASIIIXOTOX , D. C. , April iS. ! A plan for
suspending the sugar bounty without wait
ing for the slow action of congress has loon
suggested to President Cleveland , and .nay
bo adopted. The plan consists in a simple
order from thj secretary of the tronury
to his subordinates to draw no moro war
rants and make no moro payments on ac
count of sugar bounties. Such action In a
single test case would bo suniciont to carry
the matter to thecourts and secure a decision
from the supreme court of the United States
upon the question whether the payment of
gratuities to private individuals out of the
money received by taxation upon tlio people
was within the power of congress under tlio
constitution. President Cleveland has not
yet considered , the subject carefully , but ho
will probably call ujxjn the attorney general
for an opinion us to whether the bounties
are constitutional and whether it is within
the power of tha executive to test the ques
tion by refusing payment.

WASHINGTON- . C. , April 23. E. P. Bald

an order which will prevent favoritism in
the examination of accounts , it hus been the
practice to make 11 class of accounts special at
the request of certain attorneys who have
been doing business before the department ,
and thus hurrying thorn through ahead of
their tuni , This has worked a great Injas-
tico , and men who did not employ attorneys
i or could bring no inlluence to boar noon the
I office were compelled to wait many months
for the settlement of their accounts. Under
| this system some accounts wcro settled as
I soon as they are received , while others hail
! to wait from three months to nearly two
years , lender the now oruer the account
' must bo taken in the order In which It is re-
i ceived No account Is to bo inado special ,
; except upon the request of the head of the

Telegram to THE Bue.J fi. most important
suit in the circuit court eamo up today before -
fore Judge Alkcns. It js the suit of Joseph
M. Green of Chamberlain against the West
ern Union Telegraph company for damages
In the sum of $1,009. Mr , Green is chairman
of the state republican committee and claims
that lust fall at the beginning of the cam
paign ho made a contract with the company
for a private wire Into his private office , to
bo used by his operator about three weeks
before election. Dempcrats of Chamberlain
discovered that this private wire liud been
strung , not , as is usual , from the main
office , but from the main wire outside ot the
city. Under these circumstances it was
possible for the operator in Mr. Green's
office to hear not only .every mcssaco re
ceived in or sent out of Chamberlain , but
every message , political- , commercial or per
sonal , sent over the wires in all parts of the
south half of the state.
They Immediately made a roar nud threat
ened to make it interesting for tlio Western
Union. The matter came to the attention of
Superintendent McMichiicl at Minneapolis
and ho promptly sent the assistant superin
tendent to Chamberlain. After a brief ox-
nminutUn ho cut the wire , and Mr. Gieen
was compelled to got his messages through
the oillce thereafter.
Ho at once brought suit against the com
pany , claiming that during the last days of
ttio campaign the luck of a private wire seri
ously inconvenienced , hjm in directing the
political movements.
The company sets up | a general denial to
the charge that It had u contract with
Green. The case has attracted much atten

Telegram to Tin : Ilr.c.l In reply to questions
propounded by Tnc Hut : correspondent to.lay
Comptroller of the Currency Kokles stated
that the First National B.ink of I'onca
would be in the hands of the examiner until
a report of its condition was received hero ,
when the question receiver would bo
determined. Comptroller ICckels said the
failure was due to lee much connection with
Sioux City atTalrs. and that its future de
pended upon the ability of its directors to
pull out of the Sioux City failures
enough to in.iko good its encroach
ment upon Its reserves and capi
tal. Ho thought the resources and
skill ol President G. W. K. Dorsey of Fre
mont would be sunicient to succor the lunk.
He did not think the failure would affect
other banking interests of Mr. Djrsey. as
national banks controlled by single indi
viduals seldom had enough connection , one
with .tho other , to destroy one when an
other failed.
The last statement of the First National
Bank of Ponca shows that its lo.ins and dis
counts amounted to $147,8. " , with overdrafts
of tmttSSS. It had about flO.OJO cash and
due from other banks. Its capital was
$ . " > 0,000 ; surplus and undivided protits ,
* 81,013 ; individual deposits , * l01OiiS. The
worst features of its condition was its total
rediscounts amounting to jS,0U : ) ; and bank
ing house , furniture and fixtures listed at
$14,1ft. ) . The rediscounts and banking house
fixtures are regarded as excessive , taking
into consideration the deposits , yet the con
dition of tlto bank was reported as healthy.

Comptroller Kckels says there will not
likely bo any change made soon in the posi
tion of national bank examiners for the Ne
braska districts. Ho says the Incumbent is
giving satisfaction and that ho is deter
mined not to turn out good examiners
simply to give democrats place. He will
make changes in bank examlnerships very
slowly. When ho entered upnn his duties
tliis week he found that out of forty bank
examiners liftecn were democrats who had
been returned through the last administra

"I learn , " said Mr. Eckels to Tun Bns cor
respondent , "that under the Harrison ad
ministration politics did not enter into the
ofllco of the comptroller of the currency , and
eflloient democrats upon the examiners' roll
werp returned. There is all the
more necessity now for keeping
eflicient ore-publicans , since there are so
many bank ( 'allures. I believe in keeping
cftlciont examiners in ofllcc , and should liavo
followed that principal , oven thouirh it was
violated by the lasfadnilnlstratlon. It will
be easier to follow tho.prcccdcnt than to have

The directors of the Institution assert
that there is ample property on hand
to meet all obligations in full. The
cause of the crisis was the demand made
from eastern creditors for currency faster
than the bank's customers could respond.
They also state that the necessary funns
