BRIEF EXPLANATION OF MIS REQUEST Btntf Properly Turneil Over to the General Government nnil Not Yet 1'nlil I'or , ThtiMcreMnltntlnK 11 GeneronN Ontlnv. LINCOLN , Nov. 20. ( Spocial. ) It seems from figures submitted by Adjutant Om- cral Harry that an unusually larpc amount will be asked for next u Inter for the main tenance and support of the Nebraska Na tional guaid. The estimate Is contained In n letter Just filcU with the state auditor as follows : LINCOLN. Nov. 21. Dear Sir : I bavo the honor to submit 16 you the follow Ing esti mate for the appropriation necessary for the maintenance of the Nebraska National guard for the blennlum beginning April 1. isii'j. and ending March 31. 1901 : For armory rent allowance of 200 tier annum for each 'company , troop , battery , band and corps headquar ters ; J22.SOO For npnroprlnlton for the Hupport of the Nebraska , National Guard us per the following estimates for two yparH $2iooo Kstlmntc for pay cUbHistence und trniiH- ptirtatlon of 2,000 officers nnd enlisted men. organized Into thrcj regiments of Infantry , on one troop of cavalry nnd one battery of artillery , nnnemblcd In camps of Instruction Klx day each year : I'cr diem of ofllcerH and men six days encn rcnr 32,578.50 Subsistence of. 2,000 enlisted men twalve days at 30 cents 7,600.00 tor equipping th medical depart ment of three regiments * nnd maintaining the snmc 3,600.00 I'lir oxpcns B of Inspections , mus tering and examination bourd , coiirtK-mnrtlnl , ncliools of Instruc tion nnd Incidental expenses 10,000.00 Trnnsportntlon of 2,000 at Jl each. 16,000.00 Annual allowance of clothing 2,000 men 12,000.00 For freight on arms , ammunition nnd equipments 1,000.00 Total $82,378.56 Appropriation for equipping nnd clotplng the Nebraska National Guard JG6.697.54 I deem It but proper to say a few words In explanation of tho' figures given above , which seem to bo excessive In comparison with the appropriation * made la other years. The reasons for the same are obvious. On account of reorganizing the guard the expenditures for the support and mainte nance of the guard will be greatly In excess of former years. At the request of the sec retary of war , all clothing , arms and equip ment In tho- hand * of the state were turned over to the First and Second regiments , Nc- branka volunteer Infantry , and Troop K , Third United States cavalry ( formerly Troop A of this state ) , thus taking all the avail able military property In the possession of the state , to the value of $66,697.54. The Btato will be reimbursed for this amount by nn act of congress , the same ai all other states of the union. This money under our law cannot be placed to the credit cf the fund for the support of the Nebraska Na tional guard , but must revert Into the state treasury , and cannot be rcapproprlatcd to the general fund of the state without a ape dal act of the legislature authorizing the same , which would take a period of two years to reach. Therefore , I would recommend. In order to place the Nebraska National guard on an efficient basts , that we arm and equip the guard of the state , In order that It may attain and maintain the same efficiency as prior to the declaration of war April 22 , 1S9S. These estimate * are very conservative , as the above data will provo. Respectfully sub mitted , P. H. BAKUY. Adjutant General. Permlmilon to Ilnlne ComnnnleN.

The claim made byvls- rael , republican , Is that many democratic and silver republican tickets were counted straight when they failed to Include the name of Benjamin , the populist nominee , his name occurring on these tickets only 'when written In by the voter. Inasmuch as Ben jamin , populist , had only throe majority , a great deal of Interest Is being taken In the matter and an exciting tlmo Is expected.

LIVELY FIGHT IN SIGHF FOR THE PLACE Dark Ho rue U Mnhle to Carry Off the I'lunt at the I.nut Moment- Policy of the PopnllNti. PIERRE , S. D. , Nov. 29. ( Speslal. ) Candidates for speaker ot the homo at the I coming session are becoming numerous and the Indications are for a warm fight for that position. The candidates who arc working for t that honor and who have so far been ' mentioned In that connection an ; : Repre sentatives tE Holdrtdge of Lake , Dwlght ot McCook : , Packard of Splnk , Walmarth of Beadle , Goddard ot Sully and Somers ot Grant. ' Just which one ot these will.show up the greatest strength Is a matter of the uture and when the final contest comes ome man not yet mentioned Is as likely to arry off the honors as any of those now In he Held. Whllo reports of how the senate will land are. as jet conflicting ou a few mem- era several contests have been Initiated and no.-c : talked of , and when they arc ettled the make-up of that body may bo iven different than It appears to be at pres- nt. The Idea ot the populists Is that the opubllcans will carry out a policy similar o the ono which they mapped out for them- elvcs two years ago. In that cafe they were certain of a majority In each house of ho legislature , but were In doubt as to the cvernor and to be certain of carrying out ho schemes which they desired to push hrough , regardlcs of the result on governor , nough contests were Initiated In both houses to give them two-thirds majority In ase they did not secure the governor. But as Lee was seated they did not require nny more than a good working majority , and but a few of the contcits were pushed. Clalm- ng now that I/to Is re-elected they think , ho republicans will carry out the same [ ilan , as they have the required two-thirds n the house and under nny footing of the senate are but two or three short of two- thirds In that body. It Is known that the republicans espe cially desire to amend the election law passed last session , which was framed espe cially to give fiiElonls.ts all the possible chance to get 4n their work , and If Governor Ixo Is seated they cannot do th'fl without assuring themselves of two-thirds of the senate on any party proposition , as Lcc would certainly veto any measure In that direction. On this they base their belief In the senatorial contests. FlRiiren on State Vote. SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , Nov. 29. ( Special. ) While It Is three weeks after election the official returns are not yet fully compiled and the actual figures will not bo known un til December 8 , when the State Canvassing Board meets. The figures are accessible , however , on all but the unorganized coun ties attached to Butte , Delano , Scobey and Zlebach , which cast an aggregate vote In 1896 ot 235. It Is known that these counties went strongly republican , but the exac figures have not been received. Omitting these the official count gives Mr. Gamble 8 majority for congress of 6,372 , he having re ceived 38,846 , against 32,474 for Mr. Kelley Mr. Burk has a majority of 4,048 , receiving 36,301 , against 32,253 for Mr. Knowles. For lieutenant governor Mr. Kean receive a majority of 3,590 ; Mr. Roddle for secretary of state , 4,670 ; Mr. Reeves for auditor , 3,693 ; Mr. Scbamber for treasurer , 4,072 ; Mr Pyle for attorney general4,379 / { iMr Eaat man for commissioner of school and publl lands , 4,326 ; Mr. Collins for superinteuden of schools , 5,111 , and Mr. Smith for rail road commissioner , 3,571. The vote on governor Is very close. On the face of the re-turns and omitting the counties named above , which have given a considerable majority for Phillips , Lee's ma jority foots up 109. There Is , however , a re markable discrepancy in the returns. It Is found that while on the face of the returns Lee has run far ahead of his ticket Phll- lipd has not run far behind his. While the average majority of the ten republicans elected Is 4,283 Mr. Phillips has run behind on the average 1,228. One should naturally expect therefore that Mr. Phillips would be elected by about 3,000 majority. The aggregate vote for governor la much larger than for any other office. For ex ample , the aggregate for governor Is 4,138 greater than the average for the congres sional ticket , 1,535 greater than for lieuten ant governor , 1,543 greater than for secre tary of state , 1,858 greater than for auditor , 1,859 greater than for land commissioner , 1,375 greater than for treasurer , 1,148 greater than for attorney general , 1,886 greater than for superintendent of schools and 2,552 greater than for railroad commissioner. Thus the aggregate vote for governor Is 1,148 greater than for the next highest office on the list. It would therefore seem that 1,148 men voted for governor and no one else on the ballot. Illfllcult to Understand. But this circumstance Is the more Incom- prehenslblo In that It has been discovered that a large number of republicans In the state who voted for all the rest of the ticket left the governorship blank. In the city of Sioux Falls there were ninety-three blank ballots for governor , In Brown county 170 according to the Rurallst , In the city of Huron , fifty. These are the only pre cincts from which 'the ' actual figures have been received. It Is fair to say that the same conditions prevailed throughout the state. In that case tbo 1,228 votes which Phillips lacked of keeping up with the aggregate ot his ticket are easily accounted for. The blanks on the governorship mentioned above were on , republican ballets. They were the votes of republicans who , being opposed to Phillips ontho machine and Interest cries , Etlll were unwilling to vote for a populist. The extra votes' recorded for governor were , therefore , Lee votes. It wo ore to take the official returns as accurate some 3,000 men In South Dakota voted for Lee for governor and tor no one else. . There are three ways to explain this dls- j crepancy. Ono that the voters marked merely the governor believing that thus they would vote the entire ticket , another that 3,000 men did actually vote for Lee and no other candidate on the 'ticket. ' There Is one other explanation and It seems to lit the facts better than 'the ' others. It Is known that In many precincts Lee's name was marked three times. Under the law passed by the last legislature to encourage fusion each fusion candidate's nanio ap peared three times on the ballot , as a pop ulist , as a democrat and as a free silver PI' | publican. It Is known that In many pre- I clncts the voters crossed the governor's name under all three heads. It Is known that Ip some strong populist precincts , where tbo populists had Oi majority ot the election | r Judges , these three markings were counted Just how many Illegal ballets ot this kind were counted la not known , but there \vcr < some. U is believed by many that tills | strange discrepancy In the vote can be ccc . counted for In no other way than that Let rhas In a thousand Instances been given three I votes wbero he was entitled to only one. , I Whether anything will be done to - xth nmlno the ballots and determine the trutl has not yet been determined. But many AH , strongly urging a recount. X MV Corporutlon * . ' PIERRE. S. D. , Nov. 29.

George Dlxon , the colored featherweight champion pugilist , fought twenty-five fast rounds with Oscar Gardner , "the Omaha Kid , " before the Lenox Athlutlc club tonight and Referee Dick Roche decided In favor ot the champion. The de cision did not please a great many of those who wltnuied the fight. Dlxou did nearly all the leading , but Gardner met him cleverly and countered very forcibly nearly every time they came together. Dlxon found In Gardner a very awkward opponent to get to und many of his well-meant blous failed to land through { the clever dodging ot the Omaha kid. It was one ot the cleanest and cleverest bouts ever aeon In this or any other club , and If the referee had not picked a winner but I called the bout a draw , every one would havn been satisfied. The attendance was 4,000. The men scaled 122 pounds at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Dlxon was the favor ite l In the letting at 100 to 80. Tom O'Rourkc and Tom Sharkey were In Dlxou's corner.
