Seat Horn with Hoaon,
(From a Buff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, March $. (Special Tels
grm.) Tha bill providing for tbs con
struction of a bridge and spproach across
th Missouri rlvsr at or near South Omaha
was passed by th house this morning. The
bridge Is not only designed for the passsgs
of railway trains but It also provides for
passagsways for wagons, carriages, street
cars and foot passengers.
According to ons of the amendments rec
ommended by th interstate and foreign
commsrc committee, th bridge must, be
built with unbroken and continuous spans
and th lower point of th bridge super
structure shatl not be less than fifty fsst
abov high-water grade line for bridges
as established by the Missouri river com
mission. Th spans ovsr ' th waterway
must be 800 feet In th clesr between the
pier or between piers and abutments.'
While It haa seemed asy to secur the
psssag of this measur in ths house, It
Is anticipated that It will have a rocky
road to travel In th senate, as It Is known
that Senator Millard doea not look with a
great' deal of favor upon this snterprise. It
would not be surprising If th bill were
put to slsep In the senat commsrc com
mittee, not to be awakened until after the
Fifty-seventh congress adjourns.
Wholesale Retirement Proposed.
What may with entire propriety be called
an "omnibus retirement" bill was Intro
duced today by Representative Burkett, at
th request of Captain Grlmatsad of Salem.
Neb. Th bill authorises th president to
' appoint la ths regulsr army and then re
tire th persons wboss names are given
with th rank they held In th civil war,
Spanish-American war or Philippine tnsur-
1 rectioa.
Those who s re to be benefited from this
bill and ths rank they ar to take are:
Robert W. Leonard, colonel; James E.
, fihallenberger, John R. Prince, William 1.
White, Morris C. Hutchlns, James H. Hy
soli, Samuel O. L. Potter, Charles 8. Burns.
John O. Davis and James O. . Bandera,
majors; Reubea A. Whipple, Holman G.

sill, captains; James B. Clare, Aral lieuten
ant. The only other Nrbraskaa Included
In th list besides Csptsia Grlmstesd is
Captain Jacob H. Culver.
To Sell Part of Moorara.
Senator Millard ststed todsy that hs
- would sndsavor to secur th early passsgs
of a bill authorising ths sals of a part of
ths Fort Nlobrsra military reservation,
whiuh aaa been pending In coogrea for asv
rat years and which was favorably reported
by th senat committee on military affairs
Friday. Ths bill authorises tha secretary
ot the interior to sell the village pf VaJ.
ntta certain lands now a psrt of ths
reservatroa, for $1,460. -
Th commUaiooer of Indian affairs hss r.
' cslved aa application from th Indians la
Thurston county requesting that a delega
tion of their tribe be permitted to com to
Washlng-toa to aid la securing lbs psymeat
of $100,000 out of ths principal now held by
the government In truat for th Indians.
Congressman Robinson also received a
letter from th Indlsns concerning this mat
ter. He called at th Indian office today
and was told that th department had In
formed th Indians there was no necessity
for their coming her.
A bll would hsve to be passed by congress
authorising ths seecretary of th Interior
to pay this amount, and th department
does not believe such a bill iould bs passed
at this time.
Decide Ae-alast Whit Wlnai.
Congressman Robinson called upon ths
commissioner of ths land office today re
garding a communication from a cross
breed woman, White Wing, of the Winne
bago agency, regarding a land matter. It
appears this women Is th only living child
of John Cloud, now deceaaed, who held
an allotment of land at th time ot his
death. His widow claims title to th lend,
also holding an allotment In her own right.
Th department found upon looking over
the records that John Cloud was not law
fully married to the woman and ths depart
ment stated that the tacts ar as stated
and If Cloud was not living with th woman
tn question, as his lawful wife shs Is not
entitled to dower. The department further
stated that it would have no Jurisdiction
over the matter, and that the woman, Whit
Wing, would have to look to th Nebraska
courts for her remedy. '

production of paper was adopted.
Mr. SlBcraa of Tenneasee thea rose to a
question of privilege In connection with tha
adoption ot the conference report on th

the ststement of the eonferees with refer
ence to section i, whi:h originally placed
all the employes ot ths bureau at th lima
ot th pasaag ot ths act under th pro
taction of the clvtl servlc. haa "misled and
deceived" th house. Th speaker held
that as the whols subject had been dlapoaed
of no question ot privilege was presented.
Later in th afternoon a resolution was
Introduced In th house by Mr. Hughes of
West Virginia stating thst It was the In
tention ot congress la pssslng an act creat
ing a permanent census bureau to place In
the classified service of tha government all
the employes of th census offices, abov th

WASHINGTON, March 8. Speaker Hen

and means commute and Senator Allison,
mmbr of th finance commute, called at
th Whit Houss today presumably in ro
tation to th pending controversy ever
Cuban reciprocity. Thar was th most
posltlv declination to discuss ths purpose
of the call. It was said, however, that th
president had tn no way changsd his attl
tuds favorabl to reciprocity. Ia this con
nection ther war renewed Intimations of
a special meaaags which would clearly set
forth th president's views on the subject.
Th republican members of ths ways and
meana committee favorable to Cuban reci
procity have held long conferences to per
fect their organlsatloa for carrying forward
th contest. . Ia connsctlon with Jibes con
ferences th belief has galnsd ground that
there would : be . a special message if It
proved to be accessary. There was renewed
talk of the compromise today, on report
being 12 per cent reciprocity might be sub
stltuted for 20 per cent. Both sides, how
ever, denied - th 12 per cent compromlss

Dumont has been received here with extra
cordiality because he appears as a victim
of alleged French Jealousy and unfalrneas.
Speaking to your correspondent, hs says:
"I don't Intend to become an English sub

th superiority of my balloon.
' "My new No. 7 baa forty-five hore-powr,

waa. Tb lncreaaed power Is secured
without a proportlonste Increase In weight,
owing to Improvement in ponstruction. It

"I had expected to ascend from the Crys

available was not sufficient. However, thst
difficulty can be easily arrsnged If the Aero
club -can tlx up a suitable prize.
"I shall return to Paris Immediately to

May I shall be experimenting here."
It Is doubtful If any equivalent to th
Deutach prise of $20,000 csn b secured here,
ss Englishmen rarely offer inducements tor

MEXICO CITY, March I. Recent tsl.
grams from points on th Americas fron- '
tier te Journals of weight' snd romtnene' '
In the United States deal with ths Import
snt matter ot th succession to th presi
dency of this republlo In case of the re

period. It wsa stated that hs would In .
sucjt caas bs suocseded by ths prsssnt min
ister of war, Gsoeral Bernardo Rsyss.
American pspers have widely commented
on this dispatch, pralalng th minister of
war as a valiant soldier and as governor
of ths Important state of Nusvo Leon,
where his administration gave satisfaction
not only to ths Mexican people, but to
resident Amerlcsns. and It was propsrly
argued that so capable an administrator
would be certain to carry on the wise pol
icy of President Diss, who ha crsatad
what la now gensrally called "Modern
Mexico." x .
Advoeat of Peaee.
Amsrlcaa editors, also noted the fact of
sympathy existing between Americans sad
Oeneral Reyes, who, It was said, would be t
certain to maintain the peace of Mexico '
unaltered.
It Is known on unimpeachable authority '
that General Rsyes, la cass of ths presi
dential succession . being for th causss -named,
would glv his cordial support ta -ho

Ssnor Limsntour as bslng merely a flnsn- ;
clsr, which Is an error, and It Is bsllsvsd, '
apparsntly In ths United Statss. thst only
a soldier csn maintain the present most '
satlafactory state of things In this coun
try and thus It hss come about that th
American preaa haa spoken snthuslastically
of General Reyes as. ths successor of Presi
dent Diss, but It Is known her that Gen
eral Reyes Is htmsslf on of th slaments
of strength behind General Limsntour, as '
Oeneral Reyes has publicly on various oc
caalons expressed himself.
Thus It to believed that Minister Llmsn- ,
tour, supported by General Ryes and other
lending persons xes here, will meet com. .
pletely th need of Mexico, which Is peace
witn progress, and one occupying tb pres
idency would bass his acta ea to firm
foundation laid by President Dla and hav
ing that necsessry prestige resulting from
ths prssidsnt's recommendation of that po-
irtioal convention as it seems probable be
will recommend. ,
Judging from talk In highest political cir

situation la high politic ot Msxlc will

admlnlstrattoa and will assure lavestars
la all forms ot Msxicaa securities of the
continuance of those conditions of pssoe
and progressiva enterprise so superbly es
tablished by President Diss, who hss hsr-
montsed all Dsrtlea and factions and craat!

except during th presidential term ot
