LINCOLN, Jan. 26. (Special.) "It may
be itatcd aa almost a certainty that Lin
coin will bo selected ns the plnco (or thn
text annual convention of the National
Butte-makera' association," said Morris
Frlnd of tho neatrlce Creamery company
this afternoon.
"Tho cxccutlvo committee will make the
announcement within tho next few days,
and unless come of tho members hayo
changed heart there can be no doubt as
to what It will be. Three of tho five mem
bers of tho committco met In this city last
week, but they postponed action regarding
tho location of tho convention because of
tho abtonce of tho other committeemen. A
vote of all members Is now being taken by

Senator F. M. Currle stopped In Lincoln
today enroute from Omaha to his home In
Custer county, tlo disposed of somo west
ern thoroughbred horses In South Omaha
last week. Mr. Currlo eald his visit In Lin
coln had no political significance.
"The bill now ponding In congress which
provides for tho tensing of government
lands: In western stntcs Is a step In the
right direction," snld Mr. Currle. "There
1 ono featuro In tho mensure, however,
that may meet with some opposition. It Is
tho lack of provision for taxation of land
IcAed under the net. In some of the coun
ties DO per cent of. tho land belongs to tho
government nnd Is exempt from taxation.
This throws tho burden of taxation on the
owners of tho other property, which Is un
fair. If some way can be provided by which
tho leases can be taxed the measure ought
to meet with very general approval."

Rev. William Manss, pastor of tho First
Congregational church, nnd Itov. William
lllndman, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, preached tho last sermons of their
pastorates today. Ilov. Manss will likely

NEW YORK, Jan. 20. The Right Rov. L.
K. Coppln, who sallod from this city about
a year ago on Umbrla to tako charge of
tho Fourteenth cplsoopal dloceso of tha
African Methodist Episcopal church In
South Africa, returned by the, same ship,
arriving here today.
He Is from Philadelphia and wus tho
first bishop sent out by tho African Method-
let church to take charge of this diocese,
which lies south of tho Zambesi river and
comprises two conference, tho South Af
rican nnd tho Transvaal.
"I found plenty of 'work awaiting me when
I got out there," he said today. "Tho two
conferences wero mapped, out, but were not
organized and only a start had been mado
In their development. We now hnvo be
tween forty and fifty churches established,
with more than 100 traveling ministers.
"Wo have recently bought n large build
ing In Capetown, whero In Fohruary next
wo will open a school to prepare students
for n collcglato course. We nro also hrplng
soon to start nn Industrial nnd lltcrnry schoil
near Dlocrafonteln, modeled on tho same
general plan as the scbol at Tuskegco.
"Wo nro seriously handicapped In this
project by the unsottled condition of tho
country on account of the war. Tuero
seems llttlo hope of tho torrlble warcloud
lifting. You cannot conceive tho condition
of affairs over there. Tho Boors aro grad
ually being wiped off tho earth. It Is no
longer war, but a process of slow extermi
nation. England will never listen to any
arbitration ptopcaltlon which means resto
ration of the republic and tho Boers will
accept no other setlemont. Just aa long as
they are able to keep up tho guerrilla
method of warfare they can, notwithstand
ing the Bmnllnras of tbclr numbers, keep
thousands of soldiers In tho flold busily

exemplifying tho greatness and the ex
tent of the Drltlsh empire. Ho Invited
tho company to drink to tho health of the
Prlnco of Wnles as tho representative of
tho British army, to which tonst tho Prince
ot Wales suitably responded.
Todny passed without any disre
spect belnt: shown to the Prince
of Wales, who arrived here yesterday even
ing to represent King Edward at tbn cele
bration of tho anniversary of tho birth of
Emperor William next Monday. German
crowds havo n too deeply abiding respect
for royal personages nnd aro too thoroughly
policed to ovor Jeer them. Dut In a city
where the lifting of one's hat Is as uni
versal as ordinary civility it was singular
to sco tha passing crowds with never a hat,
raised and to hear no murmur of applause.
The last experlcnco abroad of the Prince
of Wales was his departure amid thunder
ous cheers from tho shores of Newfound
land, whllo the streets through which the
prince was obliged to be driven today on
bis wny to visit tho British nmbnesador
wero without one single BrlUsh flag.
Whllo receiving the most elaborate atten
tions from tho family of Emperor William
nnd from German officialdom, tho Prlnco ot
Walen must feel the chilling attitude of the
German public. Almost all tho newspapers
retrain from editorial comment on his visit.
LONDON. Jan. 27. Commenting upon the
reception of tho Prince of Wales in Uerlln
yesterday ind the nttentlons shown him
by Emperor William, the London papers
confess It could not bo expected that the
inhabitants should be effusive In their wel
come, but aro pleased to find thatEmperor
William wan so cordial. They especially
nolo his kindly refcronco to the British
army.
DENOUNCE BRITISH REPORTS

troveray Arc Knlae.
BERLIN, Jan. 26. Tho Gorman prcrs
throughout shows Irritation over tho al
leged British attempts to throw suspicion
on tho policy entertained toward tho United
States by Germany beforo the outbreak of
the Spanish-American war.
Nearly all tho German newspapers re
gard tbeso alleged attempts In tho same
light as does tho Deutsche Tages Zeltung.
Dwelling upon tho motives which actuated
tha Interpellation of Mr. Henry In the Brit
ish House of Commons, January 20, that
paper says:
"In tho reports cabled to New York It is
alleged that Germany was the Instigator
of a plan to bring about Intervention by tho
European powers against the United Statea.
This Is a direct blow In the face ot truth.
But what ot it? It might, perhaps, on the
verge of Prince Henry's visit, create 111
feelings In tho United States, In which caso
tho objects underlying Mr. Norman's In
terpellation and the answer thereto of Lord
Cranborno, as woll ob that ot Inventions
sent abroad by English newspapor agencies,
would bo fulfilled."
