SUGGESTIONS BY GENERAL MANDERSON Work iif I'rcimrliiK IVIIIIoim mill Uir Hill TriuiHffrrltiK l roprrl lo tinMlnlc IN lo IIIllrK n ill Olive. Major Central Harry and Major C 0. Kcchct of the Nebraska Nilloml Guard were In Omnlia yesterday , In consultation with General Mandcrson on plans tor bringing licforo the coming cession of congress some legislation that will enable the state to se cure po"se ! slon of the old Kort Omaha site for a military school and a camp for the state troops. Some tlmo ago General Harry addressed a letter to General Manderson on the subject , and the reply of Mr Manderson , written at that time , explains his position. It was as follows : OMAHA , Oct. IT , , ISDV-Oneral P. H. Harry , Adjutant Uencrai , Sliito of Ne braska , l.lnroln. Neb . M > Uenr Sir-lour favor of tin2ltli lust. Is received 1 nppre- cliite very fully the Importance of the prop osition that tlio military post known us Tort Omiilin should bo turned over to the btiito of Nebraska for tlir use oi the Na tional I'.uard , nnd urn willing to do every thing In my power to tiring about that Years ago Kort Oinalm was In such a dilapidated condition us to be almost unin habitable. 1 trlid for a long while to gut tlio War department to expend some money upon It so as to make It vvnat It should be , but General Sheridan , when eommumler of the army , refused the expenditure of a penny at Kort Omaha , saying that he must have n new post nt Omahii , with much addi tional ground nnd further temoved fiom the city It was this position taken by General Sheridan and the Wai department that cau'ed me to talce step * for the bulld < - Ing of the new fort This Is conveniently and beautifully located on about liUO acres of gruund , tibout twelve inllcs'from Omaha , nnd $7WXJO ( has already bnen expended upon It. The post will ultimately cost between JI.OOO.OOO nnd Jl.COO.OW It Is one of the most substantial and best built postH In the United Stale" . Wlit-n 1 piocllred the passage of the origi nal bill loultlng I'orl Crook , to obtain a successful result 1 had to embody In the legislation the pioposltlou that 1'oit Omaha thouM be ( old , under the dlret tlon of the secretary or the trcas-uiy , and the proceeds applied to the building of the new post. There has beui much talk hero about ob taining the old fort , which stands upon eighty acres of land , for paik puipobes for the city of Om.ilia Thin would be a good purpo e , but does no' ' compaie with the use joti suggest , that It phould be held as a camp and Kchool of Instruction for the Na tional Guard of the State I believe tint If this matter Is propertly presented to con gress the bill will pass imklng tin- dona tion to the state. It Avlll require , however , great prepai.itlon and good work In con gress by our representatives If you will call to Fee me any time I will present to you my Idea of the course of pro cedure In a general way I will now slmplj way that there Hhould be a petition before congress , signed by the governoi , state otllciulP , otlleors of the National Guaid and prominent citizens of the state This peti tion should F el forth forcibly but simply the reasons foi the donation It should be nc- temp inled by a bill making the transfer from the general government to the s-tate of Nebraska upon the abandonment oC Kort Omaha by the military authoMtles 'I his bill and petition should be presented in both houses of conpress i-ailj In December , and the general of the nim > , Cieneial .Mllis , nnd the secretary of war should be seen caily , so as to obtain their appioh.itlon of hf the transfer The bill can be so woided Us to grant ( lie u o of Fort Opiah.i to the atnte of Nebraska tn peipotulty , with the tl condition tint the Koveinment may at any time it believes It advantageous for inlll- . , tnry purposes letako possession of the [ } lurid Tin IP U a lit * ' " question as to vv bethel thn complete i. _ donment of the eighty neres by the , government for foil purposes vvou'd not cause the land to revert to the original donois , and this could be guaidcd [ igaln t In the bill by having the general government hold a string to the fort. If jou wish to talk with mo at any tlmo upon tlji ; matter and Mill como hero I will U give- you all the Information in my power. is Yours truly , CHAIIUS K MANninsoN. The conference yesterday was along the lines. Indicated In General Jlandeihon'i let ter. The general hns agreed to draft a bill to be presented to congies' < which will pro vide that the government shall , on the aban donment of the military icscrvatlon now known as Port Omnli.i , transfer It to the state of Nebraska , which shall maintain It as a military training hdiool nnd a camp of Instruction for the National Gu.ml. He thinks tli.it thli , could be done at flight ex pense , and that not more than tinea In structors would bo neccasary for the work. In this manner the grounds and buildings could be kept In condition anil the pi ice tibcd as a rendezvous for the mllltla encamp ments and the Ilia- General Mandei son docs not think that the plan of Congressman Mercer to have a fed eral m'lltnry Institute established on tlic present nlte of Kort Omaha Is at all feasible. Ho en ) s that the Instant such a measure Is proposed In congress , Chicago , Kansas City and other western cities will oppose the measure and endeavor to B ° cure the location If the plan of establishing tuch u branch of West Point Is given any consideration what ever He thinks that with good work on the part of the Nebraska delegation the transfer nf the property to the state may be I accomplished. " General Harry and Major Kechot will com- mcnc" work at once upon the plans suggested by General Manderhon and will prepare the necessary petitions to presented to con gress early In December. niir. i > . .vi. era a quarter to six , The new "Omaha-Chicago Special , " via the NortliweMem line , arriving at Chicago next morning a quarter to nine , 8 4'i a. m.

The Attention of Mr James G. Hamilton of the Oxnard Ile-ot Sugar company , now In the city , was jestcrday called to the state ments emanating from I. M Raymond nnd A. E. Hargrcaves , wholesale grocers of Lin coln , In which these msn charge the- Oxnard company with being part and parcel of the Sugar trust. "That statement , " paid Mr. Hamilton , "Is utterly without foundation. Our company has nothing whatever to do with the Sugar trust , and never has had anything to do with It. Last vv Inter during the Investlgn- tton of the sugar ( scandals at Washington Henry Otnard went on the stand before the senate Investigating committee and stated under oath that the company had no connection , directly or Indirectly , with the Sugar trust , and that the Sugar trust neither advanced any mont-y to the Nebraska sugar factories nor made any agreement with them. "Of course we are not going to cut under the trust prices Why should we ? Our sugar Is every bit as good ns the trust sugar , If not bettor WP offer advantages In the way of prompt shipment and extension of payment that ought to make our simnr preferable to all western dealers. On the other hand , It we were able to reduce onr price below trust prices the trust would Im mediately cut below us , nnd not only meet every reduction In our prices , but go still lower. We might maki < the trust lose a pile of money , but the war would have to come to an end nome- time As the trust manu factures ns much sugar every day as we do In n jear , It Is eas > to sec which would last longest "As to the trust refusing to ell sugar to dealers who handle Nebraska-made sugar , I take no stock In that story. There Is no question that some of the salesmen nnd solici tors have Intimated to their pitrons that It would be to their advantage to buy all their sugar of the trust anil have even threatened to refuse to tell soft sugars and cut-loaf un- leo < they ordered all grades , but I do not believe such action his the sanction of the trust officials. I do not believe they would countenance It. They could not afford to pursue tuch n policy. As a matter of fact , any dealer can buy all the Nehraski sugar ho can handle and get the other grades from the trust without the slightest difficulty. " IIIS. .1. IIUNbON.

MORGAN WAIVES A HEARING Tnkcn Before Jndgo Bcrka Early Yesterday Morning , HELD ON CHARGE OF MURDER WITHOUT BAIL 'trip front mill to flu * County .Tall I'lniinril ii ( nit Hour \\lieti 1'vn AXoitlil Sec the Yesterday , before men had come down town for business or. to loaf or to hang nround the court rooms , Krank Morgan , the alleged murderer of little 11-year-old Ida Gas- kill , vas taken from the county Jail , hurried Into the waiting patrol wagon and driven rapidly lo th * police station , "lie was taken before- Judge Ilcrkn , given Just time enough to cay that he would waive preliminary ex amination on the charge of murder in the first degree , nnd then was Just as cxpsdl- tlousl } rushed back to the county Jail , which place he will not leave until he U arraigned for trial In the criminal section of the district court. The whole thing took lees than fifteen minutes. County ofllctals still retain a fear that If a good opportunity Is offered the county will be saved the expense of n trial In the Morgan case. There hive been no outward demon strations during the past two weeks , but In the minds of the officials there Is still the fear that the mob Is only hinging around the street corners waiting for some chance to offer. Thercfoie , It was Tuesday determined to hold the preliminary hearing yesterday morning at S o'clock , nt which tlmo the court room would be vacant and Morgan could be arraigned and hurried back to the county Jail before any one knew anj thing about It. Consequently , In the morning the patrol wagon drove up to the county Jail and Mor gan was bundled Into It. Ho was hand cuffed lo Deputy ShurllT Rasmussen , with Sheriff Drcvel on the opposite side of him. Morgan had apparently recovered from his fear , for ho was perfectly composed , except that for a few moments after he left the Jail building his > es wandered restlessly about , apparently to sec If there was any mob In sight. The patrol wagon drove to the rear of the city Jill nnd Morgan was at ones taken be fore Judge Herka , who was already on the bench. The prisoner had already been ar raigned nnd consequently the only thing re maining was to ask whether ho would waive prellmlnarj examination , as he Kid signified his intention of doing When the question was put Morgan answered. "Under Instiuctlons of my attorney I waive the examination. " Judge Uerka bound him over to the district court to appear forthwith on the charge of murder In the first d'grec , without ball. When Morgan was taken Into the city Jail on his way back to the patrol wagon ho stopped n moment at the sergeant's desk and asked the jailer whether he had found o pleo ? of chewing tobacco which had been taken from him when he was arrested. The tobacco had not been found , and Morgan ap peared to be consldeiably more worried over that fact than the words of the police Judg ° which had Just sentenced him to bo tried foi his life. On the way back to the county Jail Morgan remained speechless until he was locked in his cell. Morgan was arraigned several da > s ago before Judge Herka , but nt that time his at torney refuted to waive the preliminary hear ing. Since that time , however , it has been shown the attorney that If the details of the horrible crime were related In the police court In the presence of the public such In dignation might be aroused that Morgan would bo placed In danger of his life. Th attorney was convinced , and therefore decided to waive the hearing. CIill > H IlllHll Oil II T MllHl-ll' .

The board sild the charges referred to Sergeant Hebout , and ordered Ravencamp to ccare wearing the offi cial star. The case against Fireman Joseph Laux , charged with having disobeyed orders , wat continued until Monday evening next. The same course wis taken with the case against Fireman C. 0 Mattson , who is alleged to have assaulted a fellow fireman recently.

To the Editor of the Ilcc : In your edition of Saturday last there nit | eared n dispatch from Hill City , S. D. , In reference to the detention of the remains of a Mrs. Roberts , which had been sent from On.nlm by Adams Express company , tillering that Mine was being held on account of a doctor's bill. As Ur. C. W. Lee was the physician In charge of the case , some re flection has been cast upon him In consequence quence , and , as the whole unfortunate mat ter was entirely due to a misunderstanding and a seemingly wrong construction being placed upon the telegrams received by Dr. Lee from the parties In Hilt City , I deem It only fair to all parties , to make a statement of the facts. When Mrs. Roberts died , Dr. Lee com municated with her husband by telegraph to know what disposition to make of the body. This resulted in quite an extended correspondence being conducted by wire ns to the expenses which had been Incurred by Mrs. Roberts during her slckncbs , and whit amount of money would be necessary to de fray the same and transport the remains from Omaha to Hill City. The Items of ex pense were as follows : Undertaker's bill , $10j hospital bill , $42 ; Dr. Lee's bill , $ SO ; express charges , ? 3S 80. The first telegram received stated that a sum of $12080 had been deposited at Hill City to co\er Or. Lee's bill and the trans portation charges. This telegram being somewhat vague , Dr. Lee wired to know what prtnlslon had been made for the under taker and the hospital , to which a reply was leeched stating that $ JO had been deposited to cover the undertaker's charges and a like amount for the hospital. Troiii this It was Inferred that it sulllclcnt amount had been deposited to co\er all the Items of expense as enumerated abo\e , and upon tills sup position the remains were shipped by Under taker Maul C. O. D. $1C. ! , with the express charges to collect. Upon the arrival of the lomalns at destination the express agent \\lrcd the olllce here that the deposit lacked $ SO of being sulllclcnt to cover the amount of the > C. O D , and a telegram was at the same time received by Dr. Lee stating that Mr. Roberts was unable to liquidate his bill. Dr. Lee at once telegraphed the parties at Hill Cltj , waiving his bill , and also In structed me to wire at once reducing C. O D to $ S2 , being the amount of the undertaker's and hospital bills , which , with the trans portation charges , amounted to $120.80 , and which was covered by the amount on deposit. In the meantime , however , Mr. Roberts Euc > l out a writ of replevin and took posses sion of the remains. It will thus be seen that there was no disposition on the part of Dr. Lee or any one else to collect any more on the remains than whut they vve.ro en titled to , and which , as they supposed from the reading of the telegrams , had been pro vided for by the amount deposited. So far as this company Is concerned , v\e simply acted as carriers , and could do noth ing In the matter but comply with the In structions of shippers. CHARLES H HOWARD , Agent Adams Express Compiny.
