LINCOLN , July 19. ( Special. ) The news
of the evidence produced before the ln\estl-
gatlng committee at York relating to the
land-grabbing scheme of the state house people
ple aroused some Interest heio this o\enlng.
U Is well known hero that tne men In this
county who held school land leases , and who
were delinquent about the sarao as the York
farmers , were for the most part populists
and cronies of the land commissioner. They
were never molested , whllo It seems that the
delinquent farmers further west , nho had
not the privilege of a personal pull , were
handled without mercy.
News comes In , however , of many ad
ditional cases of favoiltlsm. Up near Rush-
villc , for Instance , a man hold a choice sec
tion of land upon which ho was delinquent
for several years. Land Commissioner Wolfe
went up there , cancelled the Tease , and put
It up at auction. Ho explained to the crowd.
In answer to an Inquiry , that anybody could ,
buy a new lease , but that It would not look
exactly right for the old leaseholder to buy
It. He said It would be better for some rela
tive or close friend to bid It In.
This tip was not lost on the man AN ho
u anted to hold the choice section referred
to , nnd who had juut had his debt to the
state cancelled. A close friend who lived
with him on the land promptly bid in the
new lease. In the meantime two or three
parties who had desired to bid on leases to
single quarters of the section were turned
down , the land commissioner Insisting on
putting up the whole piece nt once. The
men who wanted Hmnll farms stood no chance
there. The public Is also making some com
ments about the land deal at McCook , which
was shown up by The Bee some time ago.
The testimony of the man Simon , a few
da > s ago , about the meeting that was held
In Governor Hofeomb's house early In 1897
to prepare for the recount , Is receiving lome
corroboratlon , and it Is possible that the
committee will get some additional Informa
tion in this direction. It seems that last
jear , In a meeting of the "reform" com
mittees , the financial question came up for
dlacusalon , and Edmlsten was called upon to
explain an Item of cash which ho had turned
over to a prominent lawyer from Holt county.
His explanation to the committee was that
when bo had Simon arrested ho paid this
money to the lawyer. He regarded the suit
as being a party affair , rather than ono per
sonal to himself , and reminded the committee
of the occurrences at Holcomb's house , at
which were present the 'two judicial candi
dates Interested , the chairman of the demo
cratic committee , and othera high In the
party. For this reason he thought the
law > cr's fee ought to bo paid from the cof
fers of the party.
U Is understood that at least one witness
to this meeting Is available , nnd It Is quite
possible that the committee will Issue sub
poenas for all the Interested parties.

Shamrock cnmo so successfully through Itfl
fresh weather trlnl jcsterday that curiosity
was felt ns to how It would portal m In
light winds and smooth water , Rrltannla
anil Shamrock sailed the match oft Couifi
today. Shamrock showed Itself wonderfully
fast , going to windward In light airs , The
prlnco of Wales , Marquis Ormonde , and oth-
era of the jncht squadron , sailed on Brltnn-
nla. Llpton Fife , Peter Donaldson , nnd oth
ers were on Shamrock. There was a keen
flfjht for places at the start. Shamrock led
through two lengths ; with Its splnnakci
speed running In soft winds the challenger
opened out fast , gaining a minute on the
first mile. Both were becalmed for a time ,
turning to the finish of the six miles' run
Shamrock at 1 02 10 nnd Britannia nt
I'O 21. Shamiock was becalmed off Cowcs
nnd Drltannla closed up. A fresh easterly
brecre them sprang up , Shamiock carried
Its Jack yarder quite ns well as Britannia ,
though Ido sail set badly. Beating out to
Nab lightship Shamrock got n mile ahead.
Off Hyde It was leading by ten mlnuten ,
still Increasing the lead to Norman foit ,
where Britannia was fifteen minutes astcn
and gave up , the prlnco of Wnlca Inning a
stnto engagement. Shamrock In running
homo went aground and remained ten min
utes. It was towed off the sandy bottom
wllti no damage. The race lasted four and n
half hours , the distance sailed being twenty
miles.
hci'oml Trlnl AVim Cut Miort.
The second trial of the Shamrock and
Britannia was cut short after eighteen miles
had been made , as the prince of Wales
wished to catch the train for London. The
trial again showed , In the opinion of Solent
yachtsmen , the overwhelming superiority of
the Shamrock at every point. Sailing even
In the lightest airs the Shamrock kept In
creasing its lead , while In the wind and
beating toward Nab lightship the Shamrock
simply romped away from the Britannia. It
was plain to see that the Shamrock's skip
per did not wish to display its best form na
on the beat to Nab the Shamrock made sev
eral short boards In the teeth of the flood-
tide , which the Britannia easily avoided.
bKlppers Archie Hogarth and Robert Wrlnge
of the Shamrock fa\ored me with their Im
pressions of the trial as follows.
Wo substituted Jack jards for the Jib
header today , although It made a sensible
difference before the wind. We stayed , get-
ling the best start by a length. U was a
dead run for Guinard Ledge , when the wind
giadually came more abeam. Wo did not
appear to go along quite so well as ex
pected , rounding the mark boat. We were
fast dropping the Biltannia , but we now met
a. strong tide setting eastward. Neither
yacht made much headway during a very
paltry shifty wind between the mark boat
and Cowes. Wo never broke tack , but the
Britannia broke twice to get the northern
shoie. Wo w'ere about six minutes ahead
when the wind took us again and from that
point it was a dead beat down the Solent In
a clubtopsall breeze. Wo certainly out
pointed and outstepped the Britannia in rare
itylo and when we rounded East Stourbrldgo
buoy we were ten minutes .ahead. We were
still gaining rapidly. and ntj'the spit we
" ailed ourselves over thirteen minutes ahead ,
when the Britannia signaled that It was re
tiring. A fair estimate Is that If we hud
completed the course wo woutd have beaten
It by thirty minutes. When we downed the
stajsnll and threw lound on getting the
Britannia's signal , we touched the edge of
u sandbank on" Horse Foit. but wcro towed
off In a minute No damage was done We
merely grazed the edge of this bank nnd
had our boom been on the other Hide the
boat would have got off Itself , the water beIng -
Ing perfectly smooth. We again say , no
matter what others may think , the Sham
rock is far away the fastest boat ever seen
in these waters , but of coursewe know
that we will ha\e to meet a very much
speedier boat than the Britannia In New-
York.
AViilex ViMltn the SliainrocU.
The prince of Wales , the duke of York ,
marquis of Ormonde , Willie Jameson and
the marquis of DufferlnUslte < l the Shamrock
this morning before the trial began The
orlnco was keenly Interested , asking many
questions , some of which Designer Klfo
would not answer e\en for rovalty The
prince , at his own special request , was taken
below , -where the temperature was terrific ,
owing to the absorption of heat by the
metal. The hull was carefully examined
nnd the prlnco expressed himself delighted
with everything , saying as ho left : "Well ,
Sir Thomas , If > ou don't win the America's
cup -with the Shamrock It may be given up
as a bad Job. "
The Shamrock leives tomorrow noon , ac
companied by Llpton's 1,400-ton steam jacht
Erin , for Cork , thence It will sail to Kings
town , Douglass , Isleof Man and Belfast to
salute the flag of the Rojal Ulster Yacht
club , to which It belongs ; then to Folrlo and
nothesay on the Clyde. At the latter place
Designer Fife's octogenarian father will betaken
taken for a Ball. There being no further
race or trial of any kind the Shamrock will
be fitted up for the Atlantic passage , which
Is arranged to fltnrt July 31. The Shamrock
will take a southeily passage , probably oc
cupying about four weeks.
A leading1 Solent jachtsman said : "To
day's tilal of the Shamrock was undoubt
edly a thorough one , Therefore this trial
was more Important than the first challenger
trial. It is excellent In light airs , but I
think the Valkyrie at least as good In beatIng -
Ing to windward In scarcely perceptible airs ,
but In a four-knot breczo or over the Sham
rock Is unapproachable. "

WASHINGTON , July 19. The War de

cxxpcdlto the recruitment of the ten volun
teer regiments. Nearly all the commissions
having been lesued many of the disappointed
applicants have been advlecd to enter the
ranks , as , In that way It may bo possible
for them to secure commissions. General
Corbln says that the policy of the adminis
tration vvlll bo to fill all vacancies which
may occur among commissioned officers
from the ranks. A number of appllfants
for commissions have enlisted as privates In
the , different regiments and have been ap
pointed noncommissioned officers , wherever
possible , and consequently are next In line
of promotion to commissioned rank In the
event of a vacancy.
Another method of securing recruits Is to
offer commissions to men otherwise quail-
fled nbo will undertake to furnish In each
case not less than forty men who can jass
muster as soldiers and will enlist for service
In the Philippines , There have been several
cases of this kind during tbo last week.
