Four thousand , W " Blx hundred and forty bids for $558,269,850 wortll of bonds. Such IB the tremendous total of the subscriptions opened at the ft. Treasury department today , In accordance with the terms of the call Imucd a month ngo , Inviting proposals for100,000,000 6t United States 4 per cent bonds , to run for thirty years from" February 1 , 1895. Thcso figures do not Includeibout $120,000,000 of "crank" bldfl , rejected a bogus. The Im mense offerings astounded experts. The llds literally swamped the Treasury depart ment , which was so taken by surprise that at G o'clock tonight , although extra clerks had been hurriedly drafted , the work of tabulating the bids was ntlll In progress , and It was Impossible to tell with deflnltenosu how many bids , und for what aggregate , had been received nt figures In advance of the upset price of 110.6877 , at which n syndicate composed of J. P. Morgan & Co. , Harvey Flehe & Co. , nnd the Deutsche bank of Berlin offered to take the whole'loan. . The bids rnngsd from par up to a single ? 50 bid at ICO. ICO.H Is Impossible , therefore , to say at this time , how the awards will bo made. Treas ury officlala regard the loan ns a complete Duceegg , both as to the popular subscription feature and the prices obtained. Bids came from tuveral thousand Individuals , and from hundreds of notional banks und other bank- Inn Institutions. Nearly all the leading Now York bankers and big Insurance companies ere represented In the lU't ot bidders , but with few exceptions , they were outmaneuvered - maneuvered by the- Morgan syndicate. Owing to the contusion , caused by the magnitude of offerings and the consequent delay In cMuslfylng and scheduling the bids any authoritative statement of the policy that will be pursued cannot be made nt thla time. As the great bulk of the offerings were below thu Morgan figure , It Is believed that the syndicate headed by the New York bank- era will be accepted , for at least $50,000,000 , and possibly more. In any event , no bid below - low the- syndicate rate of 110.C877 will bo accepted , as that rate covers the entire Run. It Is understood that Mr. Morgan will pro cure a part of the gold from abroad , and will not need to deplete the treasury to furnish nny part of the gold called for under his bid. bid.There were a vast number of bids for fig ures fractionally rising 110 , but under the Morgan figure , und for amounts aggregating sufficient to take up the entire loan. Among them were the offers of the Stewart & McCall syndicate , Including the- big Insur ance , banking and trust companies of New York City , which stood ready to take huge blocks of bonds at figures In excess of prices named a week ago as high water i. < & mark for long lots. Secretary Carlisle was greatly pleaS3d at the success of the bond offer Inga He Raid no definite statement could be made ns yet concerning the awards to niccess'ful blders. DELAY TABULATING BIDS. The secretary said that It would probably bo three or four days yet before the bids opuld be verified , scheduled and classified , and until that time he could give no definite Information as to how low bids would bo ac cepted. Ho had the Impression , however , from hearing the names and amounts read that It would be necessary , in all probability , to1 accept some bids at a rate slightly lower than $111 , but how many or In what amount ho could not now tell. AH the last bids were being read the secre tary was shown a telegram , just then re ceived by ono of the New York bankers pres ent , stating that the new bonds were being quoted on the Stock exchange at $110. The great success of the Issue , he thought , would hnvo a very beneficial effect upon the finan cial and commercial Interests of the whole country , and ho looked forward to a year of marked business Improvement. When the department closed last night about 2,600 bids had been received and at 7:30 : this morning a force of clerks was set to work classifying and scheduling them. The bulk of the work was then thought to ha over , at least except for n few bids for largo amounts , but the morning malls brought In nt least 2,000 more bids , which had the effect of greatly disarranging the plans. The Interest manifested In this loan far exceeded that of any of the preceding ones and when the hour for opening the bids arrived the south corridor of the treas ury building In the vicinity of Mr. Carlisle's office v.as crowded with bidders or their rep resentatives and newspaper correspondents. When , at 11:30. the door of the secretary's office was opened , a rush was made for seats and In n very short tlmo no available spnco remained unfilled. So great was the crowd that to afford capler entrance nnd exit the door was removed from Its hinges. Among the last to nrilve wcro Messrs. J. P. Mor gan and Pliny Flsk of New York , who found In the crowded room ahead ot them num bers of well known financiers. PROMINENT FINANCIERS PRESENT.

Yon UK Dental Student ArrcHted for tlip ( ireeiieaNtlc Murder. CINCINNATI , Feb. 5. Late tonight Chief ot Police Deltsch received from Greencastle , Ind. , a telegram signed by three of the de tectives who are working upon the sensational murders at that place , directing him to arrest ono Scott Jackson , a student at the Dental college , and to charge him with the murder of Pearl Bryan. The chief of police was also directed to search for Wllllnm Wood , a friend of Jackson , and a supposed accomplice. The detectives stale that they were on their1 way to South Bend to search there- also for Wood , who Is described as a blonde , , smooth faced youth of 20 years. The detectives also Informed the authorities here that the clothing found on the headless trunk of the murdered woman had been positively Identi fied by Pearl Bryan's relatives. At 10 o'clock tonight young Scott Jack son , an effeminate looking man ot 24 years old , ot light complexion and wearing a sandy mustache , was taken Into the mayor's office hero and put through a most rigid examination by the mayor nnd chief of police. Though the ordeal lasted unt'l mid night the culprit came through It with apparent calmness. Jackson was then committed to the city prison with out ball. To the mayor and chief of police the prisoner denied any knowledge of the revolting murder at Qrcencastlo , though admitting that he knew Pearl Dryun. He claimed to have slept at lily lodgings on last Friday night , the night of the murder , and sent for another lodger nt the name house , a Mr. Lamping , to verify his statement. Lamping staled that Jackson came In about 10 o'clock Friday night , but that he had no means of knowing whether Jackson re mained In his roam all night. The worst part of Jackson's story , the weakest part of It , Is that about his conduct on last Saturday. On Saturday he took a vallso and left It In a saloon opposite his boarding honse. This vallso he carried with him all over the city that day nnd evening. The theory Is that the head of the mur dered girl was probably In that valise , and ho was traveling about with tlio Intention to destroy It without being discovered. The accounting for this vallso nnd why ho car ried It all day and night puzzled him moro than anything else. In fact , ho prevari cated and afterward acknowledged that he had lied. A special to the Commercial-Gazette from Green Castle , Ind. , says : The family of A. S. Bryan , n leading farmer living less than two miles from this city , have Identified the clothing brought by the detectives from Cincinnati and Newport , Ky. , ns that of their daughter. Pearl Bryan. They furnish other Information and circumstances which leave no doubt In the minds of the officers who have been here since yesterday , that the body of the woman murdered and be headed near Fort Thomas , opposite Cincin nati , last Friday night. Is that of their daughter. Pearl , aged 23 years , who left homo January 28 , ostensibly to visit her friend , Miss Jane Fisher , on Central avenue , Indianapolis. They have made every possible Inquiry today und find that tOie did not visit Miss Fisher , but that she waa taken to Cincin nati by Scott Jackson. She took with her a switch of hair , which was brought here by the officers and Identified , as well as the clothing and locks of her own hair. The shoes that were brought hero by the officers were bought of Louis & Hays , by Pearl Bryan , November 18 , 1895 , and the marks were Identified by thedeulors. . As soon as the officers Interviewed Mr. and Mrs. Bryan nnd other members of their family they sent word to Cincinnati to have Scott Jackson , a student at the Ohio Dental col lege in Cincinnati , arrested. The mother of Jackson lives here and the families word Intimate and highly respected. The Bryan family also gave Information that led the officers to order the arrest of William "Wood , the son of Rev. D. M. Wood , at South Bend , Ind. Detectives Grimm and McDe- mott of Cincinnati and Sheriff Plummer of Newport , Ky. , left hero tonight for South Bend to arrest Wod. The elew to the arrest of Jackson and Wood was given to the officers by William Earle , the Western Union operator here. He- saw a letter written by Scott Jnckson to William Wood. In which the former told the latter what to give * Pearl Bryan and outlined treatment for her. The officers hid learned from the post mortem at Newport , Ky. , that the murdered woman was about to become a mother , and they at once tcok the clothing and other articles to the pa rents of the girl referred to In the letter. Tl.oy IdcntlfieJ the shoes , clothing and hair and gave such Information as to lead to tha arrest. When Pearl left home January 28 It Is believed that It was for a continu ation ot treatment by her alleged seducer. The Bryana are well known here and the tragedy has created the greatest excitement that was ever known In this part of Indi ana. ana.It has transpired tonight that Scott Jack son was seen with Miss Bryan at Dave Wal- llngford's saloon at the , northwest corner of George and Plum streets , this city , Friday night , beUcon 7 and 8 o'clock , and Jack son borrowed $2 from Walllngford. This man will be a most Important , If not the most Important , witness against Jackson. The cor ner of Plum and George t'trcots Is In the tenderloin district of the city. CONVICTED 1'UIKST OF AUSON.

( Copyright , JSM , by Press PoMlshlnK Company. ) HAVANA , Cuba , Feb. 5. ( Nenr York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Lieutenant General Prando , who was left In charge of .ho Spanish army when General Campos .urncd over the command ot the Island to Lieutenant General Marln , has loft for San tiago. Those two generals have bad violent quarrels. It Is reported , about ' who should direct the military affairs. , 'Gcneral Prando wanted to take charge of the army In Plnar lei Ulo province. General Marln would not consent to It. General Prando thereupon started back to Santiago to him over the command of that district to General La- chambrc. H Is said that he will return to Spain. General Canclla , rumor says , will also return to Spain. A plot la said to have been discovered to deliver two ot the fortresses of Havana to the Insurgents the Car.tlllo de Alares at the southern end of the city , and the Cantlllo lei prlnclpo , southwest of the city. The governors were to be put In the dungeons of the Cuban fortress. Another rumor , which has been flying around for some days , but which I have not reported before , because ot Its absurdity , Is that 11,000 rifles , (5,000 ( Mansur and C.OOO Remington ) , are missing from the govern ment military depot , and tha { a large iimount of cartridges , manufactured at the Polytech nic Military Institute hero , are worthless. These rumors ono hears In cafes , theaters , etc. , and It is not Improbable that they wcro Invented to hurt the reputation ot General Campos. Insurgents hold up a train between Se- borcucal and Cclba del Agui. Among the passengers was a major In the Spanish army , who was taken before the rebel gen- cral-ln-chlef. General Gom.cz , treated him with extreme civility , an.l utter giving him a passport , remarked that although he Is a Spanish officer , the army of liberty does not attack , but protects defenseless persons. The prisons and fortresses are crowded with political prisoners , awaiting the ar rival of General Weyler to- have their fate decided. General Antonio Maceo received an ova- tlon In nearly all the towns In Vuelta Ab- aj ? . At some places his ehtranco way cele brated with great splendor , balls and ban quets being given In his honor.

CJKT TIU3III TITI.U FIIOM THE DUTCH N Deed CullM fur the Dis puted Territory. LONDON , Feb. 5. Clement Markham , F. R. S. , proficient of the Royal Geographical wclcty , contributed a two-colun < i article to the Tlmcy , minutely describing all the cartographic evidence obtainable In the so ciety's map room bearing upon the disputed boundurles of Guiana from the year 1570 on ward. He says that by the treaty of 1814 the Dutch ceded the portion of Guiana , In cluding the Esrequlbo bisln to Great Britain and that Spain , then the sovereign of Vene zuela , was a party to the trsaty. "As the Inheritor from Spain of that sov ereignty , " the letter goes en to say , "tho Venezuelan republic Is bound In honor to adhere to the treaty of 1814 , which abrogated all previous claims over made by Spain and tiacurcd to Great Britain the sovereignty of the whole cf the Epwqulbo basin. " After then detailing Robsrt Schomburgk'a explorations , Mr. Markham contends that the concession of the Yuruarl valley , which was British territory , to Venezuela shows that nothing could have been further from the thoughts of English statesmen than an Infringement of the Monroe doctrine. He concludes that , even If the territory which Venezuela claims were adjudged not to be long to Great Britain , it does not follow that It belongs to Venezuela. Great Britain's right , he claims , rests on discovery , on a Dutch possession of three centuries , on ef fective occupation , and on a treaty. The Times remarks , In an editorial on the above letter : Mr. Markhan Is a high auxhorlty , .and his conclusions are In sub stance Identical wlth thoso' "reached by ex- Chief Justice Daly of New York. It Is not easy to ECO how his arguments can bo set aside. "That we should b3 willing to submit any part < if such a controversy to arbitra tion js a 'elgnal testimony to the prevailing desire among us to prevent the peace being endangered by a preposterous quarrel. " The Times concludes by expressing dis appointment. that , despite the expressions of good will In America , neither the executive nor cither house of congress has yet made any public advance toward an amicable ar rangement with England. 1XDIANS ENOUGH OF THEIR OWX.

Careful Preparation * Made to Prevent n Failure of 111 * Purpose. CHICAGO , Feb. B. An entire family ot six father , mother , wife and thrco chil dren were murdered last night by Richard Klattke , a Lakevlow carpenter , who then completed his work by killing himself. The dead are : RICHARD KLATTKE , carpenter , 3S years old. old.KATE KATE KLATTKE , hli wife. JOHN KLATTKE , his father , aged 73. MINA KLATTKB , his mother , aged 71. WILHELMINE KLATTKE , daughter , aged 0. ANNA KLATTKE , daughter , aged 8. EMMA KLATTKE , daughter , aged 7. The members of the Klnttko family wcro found dead early this morning In their lit tle cottage nt 207 Bcrseau avenue , two blocks from Cuylcr station , n suburb of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. The dis covery was made by Matthew Brown , a saloon keeper. Mr. Brown , wishing some work done , called at the Klattko residence to secure the services of the carpenter. Ho rapped on the door , but there was no re- pponee. Knowing that the Klattkes were early risers , he became suspicious , called neighbors and broke , in. In the house he found the seven corpses. Each had u bullet wound In the head. In each case the ball had penetrated the brain nnd death had evidently been Instantaneous. Besldo the body of Richard Klattko lay a revolver , and empty cartridge shells were scattered about the rooms. One peculiar feature was the lack of nny Indication of a struggle- the part of any of the victims and a heavy odor , which appeared to bo that of chloroform , pervaded the house. From this It was surmised that Richard had first chloroformed the entire family and had then at his leisure taken deliberate aim nnd had put the bullet Into "the brain of each. each.Mr. Mr. Brown took a hasty survey only of the premises and then hastened to send word to the police. A detail of officers was sent to the scene in n patrol wagon nnd a more careful examination was made of the sur roundings. There seemed but little more to complete the tale told by Brown. Every thing pointed to a deliberately planned mur der by the head of the family and a desire to place himself and family beyond any further earthly troubles. Klattke was despondent. His family were cold and hungry. Slnco Christmas ho had be-on out of work and he endnd lil ti-rmhlni Just as relief was In sight. This morning his next-door neighbor , Adolpli Schmidt , called at the cottage with the joyful news that he had found a Job for Klattke. At the same time Matt Brown arrived on the same errand. They came too late. Just how much no one knows , for the bodies were cold when dis covered. A close examination of the remains showed that one ot the victims alone had any warn ing of her fate. This was Mrs. Kate Klnttko , the wlfo of the murderer. She , It appeared , had struggled with her husband before the fatal shot was fired Her hands were scratched nnd her clothing torn. She had evidently been overpowered ind thrown on the bol beside the dead body of her llttlo 7-year-old daughter Emma. Both were fiund In the rear room of the frame cottage where they lived. The pillows nnd bedclothlng were saturate 1 with blood which had flowed from the wound in tha right cheek just below the eye of each. The bullets had been fired at close range and the faces of the victims were burnjd and torn by the forceof the powder. The spot for the _ revolver's mark was care fully chosen and war the eame In each of thn victims. On a cha'r lay a whetstone and two knives , each of which had been sharpened to the keen edge of a razor. It was evident that Klattke had prepared for a possible failure of his revolver and had arranged for a sure substitute If needed. The police theory as'to the'use'of chloffl' form Is not borne out by Dr , Frend , who was called In by the neighbors. The doctor failed on his arrival to notice the character istic odor of the drug. A search was made for bottles which might have contained chloroform , but none were found nor any traces of cloths which might have been saturated with It. If a soporific was need It was probably administered In food and It IB considered that morphine was probably the agent selected. Neighbors of the dead family say that Klattko was driven to desperation by his misfortunes nnd Inability to secure work. On the other hand a quantity of potatoes and other provisions was discovered In the house , and In a bureau drawer was fount ! $1. The police and physicians icached the conclusion that Klattke was mentally unsound and his act was the result of brooding over a recent similar crime In this ) city , the perpetrator of which was Jens Hansen , a Danish fugitive from justice. It turns out that Klattke , the murderer and suicide , was an anarchist. He had been drinking prior to the commission of his wholesale crime. The house wherein the tragedy took place contains a number of anarchistic lithographs. This Is the third tlmo a husband ban killed his entire family In Chicago within loss than a year. July G last Fritz Hall- man , a stone mas-on living at GO Cornelia street , turned on the gas and destroyed himself , his wife and four children. Hall- man had been eun struck and It Is believed to have unsettled his mind. Less than n month ago came the crime of Jens Hensen , alias Peter Hougaard. Hansen , by turning on the gas wiped nut a family ot wlfo and five children , and added to the crime of murder that of suicide. Business troubles wcro responsible tor 'Hanson's desperation.

Nason of Omaha , secre tary of the association , called the convention to order. Prayer was offered by Uev. W. H. Buss of the Congregational church , Fre mont. A short address was then delivered by Hon. R. W. Furnas. After alluding to the dlfilcultles which had been met with In the- raising of beets ho stated that 6G per cent of the ougar used In this country was 1m- ported , that Nebraska consumed 70,000.000- pounds of sugar , all of which the magnificent. Platte valley was capable of producing. Boat raising had been a success In California , and will ho In Nebraska. Mr. Furnas then Introduced Rois L. Hammond of Fremont. who , as a vicarious sacrifice , ns ho said , tor- Mayor Fried , delivered a short and well worded address of welcome , which was well received. Hon. Q. D. Melklejohn , president of the- asfcclatlon , then delivered nn address , speak ing for an hour und a half. His address , was listened to with close attention , cs- peclally during the first part of It. Mr. Melklejohn at the outset considered agriculture as a vocation , and devoted some- tlmo to an exposition 01 us origin ana His tory , pointing out the honored phco given It by civilized nations , no longer counted among nations , of the degree of excellence to which Its pursuit had been brought as longr ago as when Joseph hud opened the granaries of Egypt to the Israelites. Ho dwelt somo- wliAt on the decadence of agriculture In Europe , owing to the night that followed the > owccp of the Goths and Vandals over the continent , its new birth under the Saracens and Moore , nnd finally Its development Into the high state In which It Is found today. This was prefatory to his main address , anil Intended to convey to his hearers nome no tion ot the Importance of the subject. "Thero Is a growing tendency among our young men to forsake the field , " raid Mr. Melklojohn , "and gravitate to the cities to cngago In commercial or other Industrial pursuits. If this Inclination ID basd on the rentlmcnt that this vocation does not carry with It the dignity of other professions , and that there nro not the ndvantages for him on the farm an In other avenues of life , ho should reflect on this sentiment , expressed by Cicero ; 'Of .all pursuits from which profit comes , nothing lu superior to agriculture , nothing more enjoyable , nothing more worthy of n freeman. ' " OPERATION OF NATURE'S LAW. How supply and demand affect the value of farm products next engagcj the speaker , and ho Illustrated the relations of crops to consumption , and urged that the diversifica tion of crops , while not reducing , but rather Increasing the value of farm products , would , -ileo prevent the stagnation resulting from an overproduction due to the pursuit or a single line of products by the farmers as a whole. "Tho farmer of today Is confronted with a dopresjloii of prlcoa for farm products , which dlrcouragcs and disheartens , but ho should remember that he Is not alone In his suffer ing from existing conditions. Ills distress is that of others In the many vocations of life , for , whatever the occupation In an agrl- cultural region , none can prosper when farmIng - Ing ebbs and declines , * * If the pro * dilution of a crop has risen through the em ployment of more capital and labor at home ; If It has been accelerated through the devel opment of new areas In foreign lands devoted to lt cultivation ; If Its production has passed the limit of Ita consumption ; If , through un- ulflo and mistaken legislation , manufacture * * ro depre e-l and Ubor unemployed , whereby the purchasing power of the consumer to buy our agricultural product !

What this new line of agriculture should be depended an the adaptability of the product to the climate and the toll. It waa. a somewhat similar situation that sent Ger many and France to the cultivation ot the KUgar beet. It was a mistake to urge that i the agricultural InUretts cf the United Stnles had had no fostering euro on the- 1 part Pf the government.
