WASHINGTON , Nov. 7. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Only ono contractor submitted n
bid for the construction for a set of bachelor
officers' quartern for eight officers nnd ono
barrack wine for four companies nt Fort
Crook. This bid was received at the offlce
of the quartermaster general today. The
name of this otic bidder would not be given
out at the War department today , but It
Is stated that ho Is the same bidder who sent
In the only bid the last time- proposals were
asked for.
It will bo recalled that this contractor's
proposal was rejected formerly on the ground
of being excessive. This time he submits
a bid similar to his former one and asking
the same price for the work , so that the
officials In the quartermaster general's offlce
are someuhat In a quandary ns to what
should bo dona In the matter. Quartermaster
General Hatcheldor IB at present absent
from the city and will not return till Friday
next. It Is usually * the case to have such
matters settled by the quartermaster gen
eral himself , but It Is not Improbable that
In this case the opinion of Depot Quarter
master General Weeks will bo asked for and
acted upon without waiting for the return of
the quartermaster general.
Captain Miller of the quartermaster gen
eral's ' office today said : "It Is very remark
able that such should bo the case. I cannot
assign any reason why there should not
have been more than ono bid received for
this work. There are always nearly a score
of contractors willing to propose for work
of this kind at other posts. It Is also singu
lar that this bid should come from the same
contractor , who sent In a solitary bid bo-
fore. I cannot say for sure whether or
not similar action will bo taken this time
and his bid rejected as being excessive. "
If the matter Is not settled by Colonel
Weeks It must await for the return of
General Hatcheldor , and In that case It
IB riot likely that an early settlement will
bo had ,

to Consider tlio Mutter of Admit
ting American llc f.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 7.-The Associated
press announcement that the German au
thorities may conclude to determine the
possibilities of the Introduction of Texas
r fever Into the empire from expert opinions
of American- veterinarians , which nre now
being translated , was received with great
Interest by Secretary Morton , whose ad
vocacy of retaliation by requiring a strict
Inspection of German wines nnd liquors hns
been told In the dispatches. The secretary
has lnvc9Usntecl the question and finds that
authority to entirely exclude German prod
ucts In retaliation for discrimination
ngulnat American goods Is vested In the
president by cxUtlnj ? laws , which have been
heretofore overlooked In the discussion of
tlio question. Secretary Morton had a con
ference with the president and laid the
law before him. It Is In the I'nlted States
Statute at LntE ? , Vol. D , Fifty first congrtsa ,
pace 414 , chapter UK : "An act provid
ing for an Inspection of mcnts for exporta
tion ami prohibiting the importation aof
adulterated articles of food or drink nnd
authorizing the president to make n
proclamation In certain cases and for other
purposes. "
Section 4 , to which the- secretary called
the particular attention of both the United
States authorities nnd those of the German
empire , reads : "That whenever the presi
dent Is sattBtled there Is good reason to
believe any Importation la being made or IH
about to beimida Into the United States
from any county of any articles used for
human food or drink that Is adulterated , he
( the president ) may Issue his proclamation
prohibiting the Importation of ouch articles
from Btirli country for such period of time
as he may think necessary. "
Section & says ; "When the president shall
bo satisfied that unjust discriminations are
made by or under the authority of any
such government against the Importation
Into ami sale of any product of the United
States , he ( the president ) may direct that
such products or such foreign Htatea , for
discriminating auslnnt any product of the
United States , na he shall deem proper ,
shall bo excluded from Importation Into the
United Statee , and In such case ho ( the
president ) shall make proclamation of his
direction In the premises and therein name
the time when nuch direction ngalnal Impor : >
tation shall take effect , and after such ( lute
the Importation of the articles named In
such proclamation shall bo unlawful. The
president may at any time revoke , modify ,
) rrnlnate or renew any such direction as.
In hlsopinion ( , the public Interest may re-
The secretary believes this law Is life key
to the situation , rurnfftTilntr this government
with full power lo retaliate upon Germany
'for the exclusion of our cntUe. either by the
policy , which he first i > ugtested. of requir
ing a strict Inspection of their wines or by
stronger measures. He said : "If neither Ger
many nor Frnnre will take American porker
or beef except with a government certlfln-
cntlon nfl to Its wholesompnesi' , why should
the United States take edibles or beverages
from them without requiring likewise gov
ernment certification of their absolute purity
ami wholesomenesB ? "
At the State department the attitude of
the German government respecting our cat
tle li regnnled tit the natural and proper
outcome of ( he ntrong representations made
by Minister Hunyon. The negotiations had
reached n , point where each government
was content to rest Its contentions upon
questions of fact ; first , whether or not
there were genuine cases of Texas fever
among the cattle Imimrted Into Germany
from the United States , nnd second ,
whether or not the illnense can be communi
cated to German cattle. If , as stated In the
dispatch , the German government hns so
far receded from Its first pisltlon Justlly-
Ing absolute exclusion of American cattle
without reasonable proof upon these Im
portant points then the State department
olllclnls feel that our cattle shippers have
little to fear nnd that the Gorman gnvern-
mcn has nsaumcd a very liberal attitude
and one which li likely lo cpeedlly result
In the removal of the embargo.

YOKOHAMA , Ocl. 21. ( Per steamer Del-
glc , via San Francisco , Nov. 7. ) Since the
sailing of the last American steamer the
war has been devoid of exciting Incident In
Japan. Public attention has been absorbed
In the proceedings of the extra session of
Parliament , which closed two days ago after
passing legislation sanctioning the war , ex
horting the government to spare no effort for
the realization of the nation's hopes , and
pledging the cordial support of the army
and navy. The Nlchlnl , newspaper , scml-
cinclal , announces on authority that the
emperor has sanctioned a. wr expenditure
of 44,292,497 yen for the army and 16,704,467
yen for the navy. The government has made
use of 23,388,836 yen , leaving nearly 37,000,000
yen yet available. English newspapers In
Japan have published a statement that the
Japanese government has tendered an apology
to Great Britain on account of the Kow
Shlng affair , and promised to pay an In
demnity of $75,000.
The correspondent of the Associated press
Is authorized to give an absolute denial to
the story. Most of the Chinese prisoners
captured at Phyong-Yanj ; have been brought
to Japan and distributed In various parts of
the country. Most of the prisoners were
conducted to the lied Cross society hos
pitals. They had expected to be tortured
nnd butchered. Instead , they were thor
oughly washed , greatly to the astonishment
of the majority , given clean apparel and sup
plied with wholesome food , on receiving
which they shed tears profusely. After
three days of good treatment In the hospitals
many of them could scarcely bo recognized
as the same beings , and the majority of them
are now anxious to bo allowed to remain In
Japan. Reports from China state that the
remnants of Admiral Ting's fleet have been
patched up and are nearly ready to try their
fate again with the sea , but ominous mes
sages are going to and from Port Arthur to
the effect that If they venture forth It must
be without proper provision of shot and shell
for the big guns. So great has been the ras
cality of high officials that the vast quan-
titles of ammunition which were supposed -
to be stored at the naval stations have about
given out.
Definite news Is at last received concerning
the two Japanese students who were ar-
rested as spies In Shanghai and surrendered
to the Chinese by the consul general of the
United States In obedience to Instructions
from Secretary Grcsham. On October 8
they were decapitated at Nankin by order
of the viceroy In the presence of all the
high officials of that city and of a mob , which
kept shrieking "Kill the foreign devils"
from the moment the condemned men ap
peared upon the execution ground until their
heads fell. That the native authorities of
Shanghai ere disposed to repeat these pro
ceedings as often as they can Is ehown In
attempts to get possession of Japanese trav-
clers on the same pretext. Toward the end
of last month they sent a body of guards
on board an English ship and without a
warrant seized a passenger on his way home
to Yokohama , alleging that they acted with
the knowledge and consent of the British
consul general an assertion which has not
been denied , and which gains some color
from the Indifference of the , British local offi
cials to the fact that t\vo other steamers
under their Hag have been unlawfully
boirded by Chinese soldiers and their Japanese
nese- passengers brutally maltreated. These
outrages occurred many weeks ago. and so
far as Is known no reparation has been ex
acted. In the case now referred to , the
Intended victim a hurmloss t.ittslonaij
escapsJ through the exertions oi t forelfin
superintendent of police , who was deter
mined to prevent the recurrence of an Ini
quity like that which cost the two studim *
thtlr lives.

o'clock In the evening the Cossacks , who had
been acting ns the Imperial body guard , at
tired In their long tunics with gold facings ,
took ( up their positions along the cypres-
strewn route from the palace , all carrying
1 ghted torches , making a weird scene. The
procession of white-robed clergy then emerged
fiom the church and formed In line across the
road. The bells began to ring soon after
ward. The sound of children singing hymns
was heard In the distance. Then through
the darkness the glare of the torches carried
by thu guards marching on cither side of the
coffin could be perceived. A than ) word of
command , "present arms , " broke the solemn
silence , and amid the muffled rolling of
many drums , the procession entered the
church path , headed by sailors carrying
lanterns end banners and followed by the
choir of children , dressed In white surplices.
They were followed by the clergy and then
came the coffin , surmounted by the Imperial
crown and borne by Cossacks. Behind tlo )
cofQn' were the czar and czarina , who was
deeply veiled ; the Grand Dukes Serglus and
Vladimir , the queen of Greece and Princess
Allx of Hesse , the princess of Wales and
the duchess of Saxe-Coburg Gotha , the
children belonging to the Imperial and royal
families and the high court and military .
otflcers. The Cossacks placed the coffin In
front of the church ns the military band
played "How Great and Glorious IB God In
Zlon , " all present standing with uncovered
heads. After the hymn the coffin was borne
Into the church and laid on the bier. When
the mourners were arranged nround the bier

More from force of habit than from any other
cause , we speak of overcoats on a chilly and
drizzling day. However , it might prove inter
esting to you , There are more buyers this year
in search of bargains than ever known from the'
days of the Pilgrims down.
The Nebraska approves of this. Buy cheaply
but be sure it is cheap. To know where to buy
is an important item. Scan all newspapers , clip
all miraculous incidents of purchasers or other
wonderful tales of daring advantages required
to secure a dozen or so overcoats , and. of some
hairbreadth escapes some experienced while
making a daring plunge of an offer for a whole
manufacturer some 17 overcoats in all. Go by
all means and investigate examine prices and
quality a most eloquent salesman \\ill , no
doubt , help you to get the best of the bargain.
When you are through , give us your time for
a minute ; come in to the ever humble Nebtaska.
We hav'nt any moquette carpets , plate mirrors ,
neither eloquent and persuading salesmen , but
honest overcoats to be sold honestly , and loads of
'em to select from. We don't handle any so-
called half price goods , but we can furnish vou an
overcoat for TWO SEVENTY-FIVE of
good qhinchtlla , Italian lined , warm and durable ,
that'll cost you $500 anywhere. A long , deep
collar Melton Ulster , wool lined in two shades at
FOUR DOLLARS for which other stores
charge at least $7.00 ,
Here are other coats and ulsters finer , finer
slill and the finest to be had. Can't possibly
dream of a style or sort you can't get here at a
good healthy saving on each one. From $2.00
up to $10.00 is what you save he/e. If we mis
represent this , come and get your money back
