LINCOLN , Jan. 10. ( Special. ) The meet.
Ing of the State Historical society , which
closed here tonight , has nerved to awaken
public Interest In the work that Is bclns
conducted by that organization. Much wa
accomplished during the last year In this
way of collecting valuable Information concerning
corning the early history of Nebraska , ana
at the meeting tonight plans were laid fo >
carrying on the work on a still more cx
tensive scale. An Increased approprlatlott
by the last legislature enabled the society
to enlarge Its work , but It has been founa
Insufficient to meet all the demands made
for publishing historical Information and
tbo expenses of maintaining the society
rooms , Us library and collections In the
manner desired.
In conjunction with the Historical society
the Association of Nebraska Pioneers met
today and discussed the proposition to con-
solldato the two organizations. While the
object of both la practically the same , It
* ns decided for many reasons to keep the
associations distinct from each other. Ah
who are Interested In the history of Ne.
braska nro eligible to membership In the
Historical society , but only those who set
tled In Nebraska prior to March 1 , 1867 ,
are admitted to membership In the Associa
tion of Pioneers , of which there arc now
I about 600 members. The former Is a per
manent organization nnd will probably enJoy -
Joy a rapid growth , while the latter will In
the course of lime become extinct. The
consolidation of the two organizations would
necessitate amending the constitutions ot
both and such action , It attempted , would
meet with the decided opposition of thfe
pioneers , who do not desire to lose their
Identity In an organization whose membership -
ship Is open to all citizen's of the state.
IIcniliilnccncpN.
The program of the Historical society to
night consisted of remlnlsccnscs of the old
overland freighting period. Papers were
read by I7ufcne Munn of University Place ,
William Fulton of Kan a City , R. M. Rolfe
of Nebraska City nnd Thomas J. Majors or
Peru. Concerning tbo transportation rates
charged during the freighting period Mr.
Hoi To said :
\ "Tho freighting business Increased largely
In volume every year from 1862 to 1S66. Ac
cording to a census taken for the year 1865
there were employed In the movement ot
goods , grain and other stores westward
from Nebraska City 7,365 wagons , 7,231
mules , r.0,712 oxen nnd 8.385 men , transportIng -
Ing 31,445,128 pounds of freight.
"Tho customary rate of cattle freight to
any point where two trips could be made
during the season was $1 per 100 pounds tot
each 100 miles ; sometimes a llttlo more or
Irss , owing to circumstances. Winter rates
to Denver were from 10 cents to 12 cents per
pound. Salt I ako freight was hauled al
most entirely with cattle , as cattle , wagons
nnd the whole paraphernalia of the train
had to be sold to the Mormons and California
cattle-dealers on arrival at destination.
"Tho established rate to Salt Lake was
25 cents per pound , although Russell , Majors
& Waddcll hauled the government freight
In largo quantities nt about 20 cents per
pound. Rates to other points were baaed
upon the prices paid to Denver and Salt
Lake. . " , . . . . . i . . .
Scerelnry'n Heporl. '
The report of Secretary II. W. Caldwcll
was read as follows :
"Tho year which now ends has been by
far the most Important of any to the His
torical society. In the first place the last
legislature Increased our appropriation from
$3,500 to $5,000 , thus enabling the society
to fxtend to some extent Its work. How
ever , the society , even yet , has less than
half the Income of any society of any state
In the northwest. H seems to me that some
way should bo found to awaken the legisla
ture to a. fuller realization of the value of
the work the society ban to do and even now
Is doing. In the second place the amount
of valuable material gathered and the num
ber of books received Is greater than ever
before. The outlook for continued growth
is exceedingly good , but the amount of
work that ought to bo. done , compared with
the means at command to do It , Is so great
that the outlook Is not so rosy ns one
might wish.
"The society has published since our last
' meeting a very valuable volume , consist
ing of an account of the Wyandotte Indians
nnd thn diary of William Walker , th ? first
provisional governor of the unorganized
territory of Nebraska. The editing was done
by Mr. W. C. Connelly of Beatrice. Thin
volume has been very favorably reviewed
by the eastern press nnd has attracted no
small amount of attention. There Is now
In the hands of the society valuable pa
pers which will soon bo published of our
proceedings.
"A contract has been let for the publica
tion of n volume of "Biographical Sketches
of Nebraska Men , " by ex-Senator T. W.
Tlpton. The manuscript being revised
and prepared for the printer as rapidly as
possible and the volume will be IssueJ within
at least a few months. Publication of these
two volumes will exhaust the funds of the
society available for this purpose , leaving
unpublished -natorlol for nt least two more
volumes.
"During the year an effort has been
made to secure the donation to the society
of every paper published In the slate. It
ban been so far successful as to have over
BOO papers como regularly to the society.
These papers are filed and bound with a
cheap binding from time to time. During
the lost few weeks 712 newspaper flloi liavn
been arranged nnd the contract will soon
bo let for binding them. These , added
to those already bound , will make some
1 , ! > OQ volumes of the leading papers of
the ( state accessible. Already they nro
used by citizens of the state for many pur
poses. Fifty or n hundred years from now
these volumes will bo of the greatest value
to the historian of this state and this great
northwest.
( irmrlh of HIP Library.
"Ill this connection I deslro to call your
attention to the growth of the library of the
society. There arc now on the shelves 12-
SOO volumes ; : i,037 of these are bound and '
9,763 are pamphlets. Whllo these numbers
do not compare with Wisconsin's 200.000 I
volumes they make a fair beginning and
when It Is reiuemberod that at least 12 ,
000 out of the 12,800 have been donated or
gained by exchange It may be felt that our
work la good. Had we oven $1.000 a year to i
Invest Instead of scarcely $100 the library
could bo developed much more rapidly.
"One department of the library has been i
set aside for Nebraska books and material I
for Nebraska history. May I not urge 1
every member of the society and through 1
them every citizen of the state to help gather
Nnbraskana , We ought tn have In our col '
lection every book ami pamphlet publ'ehed 1
In and about Nebraska. A complete record
should hero be found of the social , political , 1
Industrial and religious history
of No-
braskn.
"In addition to the library , tlu > museum
and collection of curios has developed more
during the last year than ever before. The
society was fortunate enough to secure IIvu
of the exposition case * at a nominal price ,
so that our collections can now be showed
to better advantage than ever before. Those
members who have not vieited the rooms
lately may be surprised to learn that wo
are about to outgrow the space allotted to
us In the library building nnd that It will
soon bo necesfnry for us to begin a cam
paign for enlarged quarters. I am not sure
but the time has come when the society
should appoint a committee to look Into the
future housing of the society. ,
"I nm Rolnp to recommend that n new
committee bo appointed to take charge of
the museum nnd the collection of material
Illustrative of early Nebraska history and
of Indian life. Thus far 'the ' society has al-
mrst nothing concerning the Indians of Nc-
braska and now Is the time to undertake
the collection of their remains.
, I'rcNcrvulldii fit lloeortU.
| I "Again I wish to call your attention to
nho apparent Indifference that seems to cx-
. 1st In Nebraska concerning the preservation
' of Its records and archives. To Illustrate :
The entire proceedings of the constitution :
convention of 1S7S seem to have dlsap-
' peared or to have been destroyed by the
j janitors In cleaning house. The problem Is ,
how can the people be Interested In our
work ; especially , how can the attention of
i the pcoplo bo called to the necessity of for-
| wardlns to us the material necessary to
preserve < ho history of the state nnd terri
tory ?
j i "lastly , 1 wish to call your attention to
the fact that we shall have to change our
plan of disposing of our publications. The
membership of the society Is becoming no
large that to supply each one free with n
j I copy soon exhausts our number. I suggest
I that now members bo given only the cur-
j i rent volume nnd that all back numbers be
' furnished only nit cost , or a llttlo above.
' Some of the volumes are nlrcndy almost
| exhausted , so that a new edition In n very
few years will have to be published. Should
not this fund bo provided by selling the
present output ? This matter may perhaps
be disposed of best by referring It to the
executive committee for action. In con
clusion I would thcn > recommend :
"First That action should be soon taken
looking to secure more room.
"Second That means be considered to
arouse Increased Interest.
"Third That n committee on museum bo
appointed.
"Fourth That the question of the dis
posal of our own publications bo .taken Into
consideration.
"Fifth That every means be used to secure -
cure all the material that bears upon the
history of Nebraska.
All officers of the Hlstorlal society wore
re-elected with the exception of Second Vice
President Lambertson of this city , C. S.
Loblnglor of Omaha being selected In his
place. The society appointed n special com
mittee to act with a similar committee from
the Pioneers In making arrangements fern
n Joint banquet to be held In January , 1901.
Another Important action was the Instruc
tion of the executive committee to use Its
best means with the next legislature with
a view to securing an appropriation for n
building for the society.

Kruger tent word to the lloer headquarter *
finking why I.ndysmlth had not been at i

"tils answer to this oxcnso was the sttg
gcstlon that the Free Staters might be put
In the forefront. This hint was taken anA
the attack delivered. !
"I'rcMdcnt Krugor's advice was so Rood
tliRl the Free Slaters behaved better than
the Transv.i.ilers have done. At all cvcnt >
!
' they manaRed to seize n hill. Later In the

of the Free Staters , who actually stuck to

NEW YORK. Jan. 10. A special to the
Tribune from Washington s.iys : The Stnto
department has no Information indicating
that Consul Hollls al Pretoria Is receiving
from the Uocv government any more recog
nition as representative of British Interests
than was vouchsafed to Consul Mncrum be-
1 fore ho abandoned his i > ost. No dispatcher )
on the subject have been received from him ,
nor has the British government made formal
complaint that It Is not receiving the In
telligence It desired from Mr. Hollls regard-
liiK the names and condition of prisoners
confined at Pretoria , but In the absence of
definite knowledge the State department .of
ficials are disposed to bellcvo that President
Kruger does not Intend to pqrralt the United
States consul to represent any other Inter
ests than these of a strictly American commercial
j
mercial character.
i
| Whether there will be any modification ot
! this attitude when Conintl Hay reaches Ills
j
post at Pretoria about the last of this month
Is problematical , but In the meantime no
question ot the Boers' conduct of the aff.ilr
is likely to come to an Issue.
That the treatment accorded to the efforts' J
of the United States representative , who Is
presumed to maintain his .strict neutrality ,
causes chagrin to this government Is unde
niable. The good offices exercised In behalf
of the Prussians at Paris liy Minister Washj
buriio and for the French nt Berlin by
Minister Bancroft were ahovo the suspicion
of cither belligerent , and' what they ac
complished was of inestimable value to the
civilized world.
When China and Japan fought each wel
comed the assumption or responsibility In
the other's territory by American diplomatic
and consular officials and In the recent war
with Spain the Impartial devotion shown by
British officials on both sides mitigated
many of the horrors of conflict , especially
at Santiago do Cuba. It In possible that the
long residence of Consul Hollls In British
Africa may bo at the bottom of the Boer at
titude. He lived for some time In Cape
town , where his father was consul , and In
the last ten years has held consular positions
at Durban , Mozambique and Lourcnzo
Marquez.

LONDON , Jan. 11. The War office an
nounces that the list of Urltlsh casualties at
Ladysuillh last Saturday has .not yet been
i ecclved.
The following dispatch , dated at Frcre
camp January 10 , neon , has been received
from General Duller :
"A Transvaal telegram gives the enemy's
loss at Ladysmlth on Saturday as four killed
nnd fifteen wounded nnd this after , as Is ad-
milled , they had endured a withering llro
from six masked batteries and been defeated
nt all points.
"Natives hero assert that the Hoer loss In
ono commando alone was 150 killed anil
wngonloads of wounded. The heaviest loss
Is said to have been among the Free Stati
ers , who were forced by the Transvaalers
Into the most dangerous places. "
This curious dispatch Is all the War office
has Issued tonight. It makes not the slight
est mention of the position or doings of the
British forces. It may be Interpreted to
mean that Ladynmlth Is safe , but It Is more
likely Intended to prepare the British public
for a terrible list of casualties.
