LINCOLN. Nov. 12. ( Special. ) Lincoln's
new auditorium , which has been in the
course of construction for the last three
months , Is rapidly ncarlng completion and
will bo ready for use by the first of the
year. When finished" It will bo the finest
structure ot Its kind In the state and Its
convenient location , near the center of Iho
city and within walking distance ot all the
hotels , will make It an ideal building for
' conventions and large public gatherings.
Lincoln has long felt the need of uch a
building and about a year ago several mem
bers ot the Commercial club undertook the
task of raising funds for the construction of
one. The plan proved successful and work
was begun on the building nbout three
months ago.
The auditorium la being constructed from
the plans of a similar building at Bloamficld ,
111. It will cost about $15,000 , all of which
was raised by popular subscription. It will
have a seating capacity of over E.OOO.
Probably the first meeting after the formal
opcnlnc will bo held by the State Teachers'
nreoclatlon , which will be In session hero
for a week beginning January 1. In February
the National Creamery Buttermakcrs' asso
ciation will hold Its annual convention In the
auditorium. This will be the largest con
vention over held In she city. Over C.OOO
delegates are expected.
Plans for the formal opening have not been
perfected , but these In charge will probably
arrange for an affair similar to the opening
of the Kansas City auditorium , but , of
course , on a > much smaller scale.

The action of the State Board of Educa

was not a surprise as it was known some

The now reservoir constructed by the city ,
and which was finished some two or three
weeks ago , has been found to be practically
worthless. The price paid by the city was
$2.435 , and the reservoir will not bold a
drop of water. The so-called cement which
covers the Interior , and which should be
watertight , has been found to be nothing
but n very cheap quality of dirty sand.
About $800 will have to bo expended to
make the reservoir available for UBCJ The
city has no recourse on the contractor and
simply will have to suffer.

TAMMANY TO PAY MORTGAGE
Executive Committee of Organization
Guarantees Payment of Claim
Atriiliiut Pnrnell IlnmeHteud.
NEW YORK , Nov. 12. The Parnell home
stead in Wicklow county , Ireland , now ad
vertised under foreclosure proceedings , will
not bo sold. Tammany Hall , at a meeting
of the executive committee hold Saturday.
guaranteed the $10,000 needed to pay off the
claim against the homestead.
When Daniel Tallon , lord mayor of Dub
lin , and John E. Redmond , M. P. , came to
Now York three weeks ago they announced
that $15,000 was needed to rescue the home
stead and the estate from creditors.
Of that amount | 5,000 was raised at a mast
meeting in the Academy of Music two weeks
agotand the remainder was assured by Tam
many Hall. At the meeting Richard Croker
congratulated the leaders on the work done
last Tuesday and said all New York City
democrats had reason to be proud. He told
tha committee , most of whom are heads of
departments In the city government , that
they sllould show this appreciation of the
confidence of the people by doing their best
to servo the city , confident that in serving
the city they were serving the people. In
serving the people they were serving the
Tammany organization.
Speaking on the Parnell homestead mat
ter , Mr. Croker said that Parnell had mort
gaged his homestead for funds to assist his
I efforts for home rule In Ireland and it was
therefore right that Tammany Hall , which
Is struggling for home rule in New York ,
should hurry to the assistance of his family.
Some days before election Mr. Crokor said
bo had promised Mayor Tallon , on behalf of
Tammany , that the necessary funds should
bo raised. Ho had not made public his prom-
IB-O before because he did not want It said
that the promise was made for political
purpoEC/3. / He submitted a map of the Par-
neil premises In Wicklow and suggested a
popular subscription list In each or the as-
Bombly districts so that every ono might
bavo a share In the gift. It was decided
that each of thirty-five districts should sub
scribe $300 , and that the collection of the
money In each district 'bo ' left to the judg
ment of the district leader , with the under
standing that If any district fell behind the
Tammany Hall central organization would
make good tbo deficit.

MONEY WILL GO BACK EAST

WASHINGTON , Nov 12. Treasury offl-
clals expect that within a ehort time the
money drawn from the financial Institutions
of the cast for the movement of crops ami
other purposes In the west will hcgln to find
Its way to New York and that the apparent
stringency In money will he accordingly re
laxed. This return , which this year they
say , appears to he somewhat later thnn
usual , will be brought about by the payment
of the debts contracted by business men In
the west whose notes cither already have
matured or arc closely approaching matur
ity. Meantime the authorities here declare
that no exigency exists for any relief mens-
urcs on the part of the government , and
pending an exigency no action In that di
rection Is contemplated. A leading ofllcial
of the Treasury department , speaking of the
matter tonight , said :
"In cur opinion , as soon as the great
amount of money which has been used In
the west begins to return to the banks In
the cast , money will be easier' and matters I
resume their normal condition. The outlays
of the government arc about equal to Its re- , ,
celpts , which show that the department Is
not hoarding any great amount of money. ! |
Since the beginning of the fiscal year the
receipts havV exceeded the expenditures by I
about $0,000,000 , 'while during the month of I
November the expenditures have exceeded ]
the receipts by between J3,000,000 and $1-
000,000. The fact that the holdings of the
New York banks are $2,600,000 below their
legal requirements Is not a matter of special '
significance. If they were that amount In 1
excess of the requirements the difference
would bo only $3,000,000 not a great amount
when their total legal holdings nrc approxlj j I
mately $180,000,000. So you "see that ques- , 1
tlon Is one of sentiment more than
anything else. Their holdings might be yet
considerably reduced and no harm result , as
the matter of holdings Is one which Is fixed
by the comptroller of the currency. Had
this deficit appeared bcfaro the great de- |
mam ! from the west for funds took place , j
then the question Is ono which might have |
caused sonio concern , but nil the west is I
now supplied and the natural result must
be that this money will soon find Its way to j
the centers whence It was taken. "

I'LAX TO ORGANIZE NAVAL HESKIIVK
Report of Allen to Secretary IOI\K
Vr-jfH that Project He I'lixheil.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 12. The leading
feature of the annual report of Assistant
Secretary Allen to Secretary Long , relative
to the naval militia , gives strong Indorse
ment of the plan for the organization of a
naval reserve. He points out that the ex
perience of the past year has suggested cer
tain changes in the original plan for this
organization as contained in the bill sub
mitted to the last session of congress , and
he therefore urges that it be again pushed
with the amendments prepared by Lieuten
ant Commander W. II. H. Sutherland , who
was for a part of the year In direct charge
of the naval militia bureau of the Navy
department.
In substance , that officer says that as the
personnel act has made the term of service
of enlisted men In the navy four years , the
same period should bo fixed for the enroll
ment In the naval reserve. Officers should
be promoted in war time with the regular
officers with whom they hold the same date
of commission. It Is also recommended thai
steps bo taken for the organization of a per
manent coast signal system from the retired
list of the navy and the employes of the
lighthouse and life saving services. There
are several thousand of these men and with
a small appropriation and an annual drill
for a few days ench year , they would be
competent , the report says , to toke up their
duties Immediately on the outbreak of war.
With a retired naval officer In charge of
each lighthouse district and an officer In
charge at the Navy department and the nec-
easary paraphernalia at the nearest navy
yard ready for use , this necessary adjunct
of war could bo put In working order In
twenty-four hours.

our pickets say the Boers carried off six
dead from one spot , probably killed by our
Maslm gun. The total Boer loss was prob
ably heavy , but had not been ( .estimated by
Colonel Kckowlch.
"About 5:31 : ! > m. C3lonel Turner was
again In contact \ \ Ith a new body of the
enemy , on the Schnestdrift road. From
the conning tower a large number could
bo plainly eecn nbout two miles to the
north ot Klmberlcy reservoh , and others
held a walled enclosure en the right Hank.
Colonel Turner opened with a Maxim gun
and two guns of the Diamond Field artil
lery sent In support. He came Into action
at f.:47 : p. m. and continued firing until i
dus' ; .
"Our further casualties there were Private ]
Lubbo of the Cape police , who was shotj
through the head and who died on arriving
at the hospital , and Sergeant Watermage
of the Klmberlcy division of the Capo po
lice , who was wounded , but Is doing well.
Colonel Kckewlch Is unable to state the
enemy's loss , but believes It must have been
severe , judging from the precipitate retreat
of the Boers.
"At 6:10 : p. m. the enemy opened fire with
one piece of artillery from Knmpersdam , on
Otto's kopje , the latter being held by the
Capo police. The enemy indicted no dam-
ago. "

ono and ono-half companies of mounted In
fantry .on the right wngl.and | ( with artil
lery In the middle pt th ? plateau.
"The enemy began by firing at our cavalry
with a gun at the north end. As the
cavalry in open order began to circle around
them the hills seemed full of sharpshooters.
The mounted Infantry endeavored to out
flank the enemy's left In Order to discover
the laager , coming under a heavy and un
expected fire from a few skirmishers. ( Here
follows a list of casualties already cabled. )
"Our guns flred several apparently effect
ive shots , but the enemy did not respond ,

LONDON , Noy. 13. The Times , referring
editorially this morning to the speech of
United States Ambassador Choato at the an
nual banquet of the Walter Scott club la
Kdlnburgh Friday evening , says :
"The American people arc generous
enough to like us better for being proud and
glad of their sympathy than for having
given them our own. So now the English
people , amid the chorus of deprecation and
abuse from the continental press , find In the
hearty approbation of a great , free nation
encouragement nnd strength of a kind which
even Ironclads cannot supply. "
Proceeding to discuss the bearings of the
Samoan agreement , the Times remarks ;
"Both the English and American people
will remember that In the very nature of
things Germany can never bo the friend of
either In quite the same sense an they are
and ought Increasingly to became friends
of ono another. "
