LINCOLN' , Aug. IS. ( Special. ) The re
publican state committee met here today
at the Llntlell Lotel and organized by se
lecting It. II. Scnncldcr of I'rcmont chair
man , p. 0. Iliillnail of Lincoln secretary
and Luther Drake of Omaha treasurer. The
Etato headquarters were located at Lincoln ,
after a vicious contest between Omaha
end Lincoln , by a vote of 17 to 11 ,
The selection of Mr. Schneider as chair
man wcs made on recommendation of the
candidates on the stale ticket , acting under
a icsolntlon adopted by the state conven
tion. The selection , while not entirely a
surprise , Is another evidence that the can
didates aru dlspoccd to exercise their own
discretion In the conduct of their campaign.
John L. Webster of Omaha pent down a
letter demanding the appointment of W.
0. Whltmore of Douglas county to manage
the state campaign In the Interest of the
Webster senatorial ambition , but Mr. Web
ster's advice seems to have counted for no
more than It d ! l when the resolutions com
mittee of the state convention turned a
deaf ear to his iirrent plea for a platform
that dodged the vital Issue by the omission
of all reference to or endorsement of the
Ingle gold standard. The other names
which were mentioned In connection with
the chairmanship were those of K. R. Slzer
of Lincoln and n. H. Robinson of Omaha.
All the nominees on the republican state
ticket were present with the exception of

tenant governor , who Is In Colorado for his

At the committee meeting the greatest In
terest centered on the location of the head
quarters and there was a protracted discus
sion on this point. Dr. Hanchett , R. S.
Berlin and Victor Rosewater made talks in
favor of Omaha as the location , arguing
that it is the best place for headquarters
bcc.ipse of the large number of votes there ,
the low rates of railroad fare to the exposi
tion city and the further fact that a large
proportion of the voters will visit Omaha
between now and election day. These argu
ments were , however , of no avail as the
Lincoln people had obtained pledges from a
majority of the coramlttecmen to favor this
city. Congressman Strode put In a few
wordsfor1 Lincoln. 'The ' matter whenput io
a vote stood seventeen for Lincoln and eleven
for Omaha.
The committee then went Into executive
session to discuss the question of organiza
tion for the coming campaign. A general
discussion ensued and an auditing committee
was appointed to have charge of the accounts
for the coming campaign consisting of R. S.
tterlln , A. Galser of Tecumseh and N. B.
Cameron of Schuyler. The state chairman
was empowered to name the executive ,
finance and other committees as might be
desired , their number and membership be
ing left at his discretion. Adjournment was
then taken for two weeks.

inee for congress In the Fourth district

COLUMUUS , 0. , Aug. IS. Former Secre
tary of State John Sherman ycsterJny at
tended the twenty-ninth annual reunion of
the Sherman brigade , and made an address
to the soldiers , dwelling on the organization
of the brigade and the part it played In the
war drama. He spoke of the adoption Pf
the anti-slavery amendment to the constitu
tion and the numerous advantages to the
south , which has become more prosocruus
than ever.
"In the west , too , " he said , "clt'.ei ' and
towns have sprung up , Ions line * cf rail
ways have been built across the tontlnc-iit-
and , signs of prosperity are manifest on
everside. , . The result of the war was a
benefit to both contending parties. The
south , benefited by the abolition of slavery ,
Is developing her Industries without les
sening her agricultural products. The
slaves arc free , hut none the less valuable
as laborers. The north has IncrcAied her
manufactures , and Industries not heretofore
attempted are In active operation. The
wsst especially has enlarged her commerce ,
agriculture and manufactures. I have re
cently traveled over the Northern Tactic
railroad to Seattle , a distance of rrnr ? than
2,000 miles , and thence northwest through
a strait of remarkable waters from Seattle
to Sltka , a distance of 1,200 miles , and found
everywhere signs of activity and rapid In
crease In wealth and population.
"The vast extent and compactness of our
countrr should satisfy our people and pre
vent them from extend'ng their dcmalu lo
distant possessions , difficult to control an.l
Impossible to defend.
"I regret to notice a deposition In con
gress to reach out for outsldo territory.
This ambition for acquisition ot territory
has been the ruin nf Oreeco , Rome and the
great nations of Asia In ancient times , and
of Spain , Austria and Italy in modern times.
And now the United OUt-is Is more In dan
ger from similar causes thaa all others
combined. The ( reed of territory and tbe
attempt to rule It lost to Qre t Britain the
great body of what Is now the United States
of America.
"If we can be content with our vast con >
tlnental possessions we can dispense with
the Islands of the sea. There Is no room
for them In our system of states. Their
people do not speak our language. Friendly
trade relations can bo easily arranged , but
American domination , If attempted , will
lead to Interminable events.
"Soldiers ! time moves In Its relentless
way. We are all growing old together and
must soon meet the Inevitable fate of mor
tals , but even In the face of death you can
feel that you have rendered to your country
the highest services that mortals can be
stow. The war In which you were engaged
wan a holy war. Your heroism preserved
the greatest republic In history. Even your
old enemies now glory In our success. Our
flag floats In honor In every land and % * .
and no nation dare dliturb It. I trust that
those who will come after you will be guided
by the same lofty principles that animated
your love of country and Impartial justice
to all. "

The minister of foreign affairs to the Neth

ing the delegates , referred to the Hlspano-

Nevertheless , he declared the sentiment In
favor of th Solidarity of powers was pro
gressing , and privateering had been abolished
ished forever , and the Inviolability of neutral
property under a hostile or a neutral flag
had been recognized once for all , even by
belligerents who had not signed the Paris

EXTENT OF JURISDICTION
Government Officials Question How Far Our
Authority Goes !
'HILIPPINES ' SURRENDER FAR-REACHING
Stnto Department ! the Recipient of
Another International Congratu
lation on AccampllMliInc
Peace.
WASHINGTON , Aug. IS. The War de
partment made public today the dispatch
of General Merrltt , giving the official story
ot Manila's fall and also the text ot the
significant Instructions gent General Mer
rltt yesterday requiring the Insurgents and
all others to recognize the authority of the
United States In the territory occupied by
our forces.
These dispatches were about the only pos
itive development of the day , Nothing has
been heard from General Merrltt as to the
asualtles last Saturday , except that he es
timated the killed and wounded at fifty.
Another point on which the officials are
without definite Information Is as to the ex
tent of our present authority In the Philip
pines. Under the peace protocol the United
States was given the occupation ot Manila ,
with the bay and harbor , until a perma
nent disposition of the Philippine question
x\as reached. But according to press dis
patches which are so circumstantial as to
bo credited In most official quarters. Gen
eral Merrltt and Admiral Dcwcy received
the capitulation of the entire Philippine
archipelago. There appears to be some |
doubt , therefore , even among officials , as to
whether our present authority and Juris
diction covers Manila only , as provided by
the peace protocol , or covers all the Philip
pines , as provided by the reported terms of
capitulation to Merrill and Dewey. There
is a disposlllon lo await fuller official In
formation before laying down a policy as to
the extenl of our Jurisdiction In ihe Islands.
AlRer Hear * Nothing.
Secretary Alger said loday lhal ho had
heard nothlne official of Ibe surrender of
the entire Philippine group. At the same
time the secretary did not discredit the ac
curacy of the press advices stating that the
capitulation had this far-reaching effect.
Pending more definite Information the atti
tude of officials is to assume that our au
thority covers Manila city , Manila bay and
harbor , and also such other territory as
rcay be occupied by the military and naval
forces.
The latter phrase U elastic enough to
cover any or all of the Philippine Islands
thai may have been brought under our
authority by the recent surrender. Tbe In
structions gent to General Merrltt have In
view the expansion of our possessions be
yond tbe terms mentioned in the protocol ,
as they distinctly state thai Ibis govern
ment is in possession of Manila and that
Its authority to preserve peace and order
will be exerted "within the territory occu
pied by its military and naval forces. "
The cabinet meeting tomorrow is x-
pected to deal with the many detailed ques
tions concerning the Philippine ! , Cuba and
Porto Rico , which have arisen since the
peace protocol was signed.
The Stale department today received an
other International congratulation on tbe
restoration of peace , this one coming from
Ihe British ambassador. Sir Julian Paunce-
fole , who Ii now sojourning at New Lon
don , Conn. The ambassador communicated
the expression of profound gratification
with which her majesty's government
learned of the signature of the prelim
inaries of peace between'the United States
and Spain and tbe sincere congratulations
to the president and government of tbe
United States upon the termination of tbe
war.

Acting Secretary Allen bad a busy day
making final arrangements for tbe naval
review at New York on Saturday. He ex
tended to the French ambassador , M. Cam-
bon , tbe courtesy of going on tbe flagship
New York during tbe review. The ambas
sador bad already arranged , however , to

French transatlantic line.
CERVERA IS TO STAY AWHU.E.
No Truth In the Report that Be I *
to Return at Once
WASHINGTON , Aug. 18. Admiral Cr-
vera will not return to Spain for tbe present ,
end reports from Annapolis stating that he
would leave for Washington today are said
at the Navy department to be due to mis
apprehension. The admiral has made no ap
plication to leave , and it Is the belief that
he will be the last of the Spanish prisoners
to go home , as he has shown a fatherly re
gard for all the other officers and men and
appears to be desirous of seeing them on
their way homeward before be leaves. The
Navy department has not taken up the ques
tion of the final disposition of the Spanish
prisoners , although it has passed upon one
or two special cases in which tbe circum
stances ' made speedy action advisable. One
of these was the cate of Dr. Jurada , the ven
erable Spanieh naval surgeon held with the
other Spanish prisoners at Annapolis. The
doctors resorted that Dr. Jurada was very
feeble and that while he might be ableto
reach Spain If released now , he would not
be able to make the trip a month hence.
The Navy department accordingly directed
his release , and the Spanish chaplain will
be allowed to accompany Dr. Jurada to
Spain.
The case of Captain Moreu , commander of
one of the cruisers of Cervera's fleet , has
also received special attention by the de
partment. H appears that Captain Moreu
Is not only an officer of the navy , but Is a
member of the Spanish Parliament. With
tbe prospect that tbe Parliament would re
assemble at an early day Captain Moreu was
desirous of returning to Spain and partici
pating In the sessions. In particular be ex
pressed the desire of telling the Spanish
Parliament of the
generous treatment ac
corded to him and all other Spanish prison
ers by tbe United States. The officials felt
that such a statement of Captain Moreu
could but have a salutary effect. His re-
leaie wai accordingly ordered.
REGULATIONS OP TUB CURTIS ACT ,
Interior Deportment Endeavoring to
Carry Oat Provliloni.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 18. The Interior
department Is experiencing some difficulty
In carrying out the provisions of the Cur
til act , reviling the- laws of Indian terri
tory. It provides , among other things , that
all annuities , royalties , etc. , shall be paid

tary of the Interior , but does not make ap
propriation to defray expenses Incurred In
this work. This and other provisions of
tbe bill , it Is said , undoubtedly will be
amended by congress. The secretary of the
interior , who now holds practically the
position of governor of the territory , will
soon make public regulations , referring in
effect to tbe Curtis act. Superintendent
Wright , who has been sent to tbe territory
to Investigate conditions there , will make
a report to the secretary and tbe Informa

purposes of the government with respect to
'orcclosure proceedings , or action under the
authority granted by congress at Its last
session to effect a srtllement with the Cen
tral Pacific and Western Pacific companies.
They also asked permission to be repre

being to secure the liquidation of Its own
liens upon the road. Messrs. Marriott and
Morshead returned to New York , where they
