NO MONEY FOR THE MISSOURI' RIVER Deaalas, WmhlDiton mn4 Sarpy Cob- tlea t Have Complete Coaaty Rami Delivery Slajaat Coras for Fort. (From a Stiff Correspondent.) .WASHINGTON. July 26 (Special Tele gram.) Senator Millard, direct from Bags more Illll, arrived In WaiihlnKton this morning, bringing the Interesting Inorma tlon that William Jennings Bryan will be a candidate for the United States senute. This Information, s!d the senator, "was given to me yesterday by James C. Dahlmnn, democratlo national committee man from Nebraska, when I talked with him at the Waldorf-Astoria. Mr. DahkAan being In New York to participate In the election of the democratlo chairman and arrange for the active work of the cam paign." Senator Millard, after a delightful visit with the president yesterday, came to the capital this morning. for the purposo of looking after matters that have teeumu lated in his office In Omaha since the ad Journment of congress. The senator saw Assistant Postmaster General Bristow In rr-gnrd to dismemberment of the western division of the rural free delivery service, going over the whole situation with him. Senator Millard threw up both hands after the Interview with Bristow, with the re mark, "Well,' you can't change the Inevi table." No "Money for IMver. Later In the day the senator had a. 'con ference with General McKensle, chief of engineers, with regard to securing an ap propriation for the Missouri river. Gen eral McKenile Informed Senator Mlllnrd that there was only J.W.OOO available for work on the river, .to which Senator Mll lnrd sententiously replied, "You might as well throw that amount of money Into tht stream, so far as accomplishing the pur pose's for which It was appropriated." General McKensle admitted all this, but said his hands were tied. Then Senator Millard suggested that 'the chief of engineers recommend to congress an annual appropriation of $SOO,000 or fl.OOO,' 000 for' twelve years, as It will take that amount' annually for the period mentioned to make any distinct showing in the way of keeping- the river within bounds. General McKenxie crawfished on this proposition, but later on "Intimated" that he might be able Ho See his way clear In rec ommending a certain fixed amount to be spent under the direction of the War de partment for work on the river. ( "If you don't do It." said Senator Millard, "you might as well proceed to close up the stream," and there the conferenoe ended. .... i Redecorate Federal Bnildlna-. "But I did .accomplish something during; nvy rounds of the departments today whiah really compensates me for -stopping ort in Washington," said the senator. "I got the superylslng architect's personal pledge that the Interior of the government building in Omaha shall be decorated this year and that the work, which will cost about $15,000, shall be begun, in September In all prob ability. Bids will have to be asked for this work and I- understand the machinery has been flet In motion- to Invite bids shortly." County. Delivery for Three. "What Is possibly. Senator Millard's most vital achievement during his round of, the' department today was ids securing tli .promise .from .Assistant !Postmastet Gn. efal Bristow that' county service ofiluna L itee delivery - will .be given to Douglas, Sarpy and . Washington counties. 1' Douglas county Is pretty well grldlroned with rural routes, but It haa been Senator Millard's desire to bring every, farm house In the three, counties named -.within touch of the rural frea delivery system and this the Postomce department wilt set about doing. This action on the part of the department will placo every farmer' in dally v touch with the markets! through the dally news papers and will . permit him. If he so de sires, to do a daily business without leav ing his home. . - Sla-nnI Corps SclooI."! Speaking ul tiia establishment of a school for the slnul corps, Senator Milli rd said he had no reason to change his former im pression that at least two companies of the signal corps will be stationed at old Fort Omaha by October 1. "While the War. de partment has only JSO.000 to spend on the Signal corps this year, I believe It entirely feasible that with two companies of the signal corps at Fort Omaha as now planned tnat we will be able to seure from con gress an appropriation of at leaet $100,000 to continue the work. General Chaffee. chief of staff, and General Humphrey, quartermaster general, expect to be iii Omaha about August . We have arranged to entertain the distinguished soldiers at that time. Wc will take them out to Fort Omaha and slrcw thorn the possibilities for a magnificent school and headquurters for the signal corps, and knowing Generals Chaffee and Humphrey as I do, I believe they will co-operate with us In making Fort Omaha, what it deserves to be, one of the flnist schools for training of signal officers and signal -men In the country." Senator Millard will remain In Washing ton until tomorrow evening, when he will leave lor Nebraska. ' ' ' iloll Is Confident. Congressman J A. T. Hull of Des Moines Is In Washington on his way to New York to have a confab with Chairman Bab ock and Secretary Overstreet of the congressional committee about the work of the coming campaign of the republican for congress. Captain Hull suld today that he did not' believe the democrats would carry a slate west of the Missouri river unlets it might be Nevada, and he is of the opinion the republicans would give the democrats a run for that. He thought that there would be a solid republican delega tion from Iowa In the Fifty-ninth congress, believing that the republicans will curry the Second district and elect ta have the present Incumbent, Judge Wade, . remula at home.

The best of order seems to prevail and the presence of so large. a number of special police only tends to ex cite the strikers and Is, In my opinion, a needless expense to the taxpayers. Since th police, board haa klven up and an nounced Its Inability to take care of the situation I will state that I am willing to handle the strike and guarantee good or der with only the regular police force. If the police board will accept this offer It will save, the taxpayers thousands of dol lars." Allied Tradesmen Uo Oat. , In response to orders received from Chi cago all members of the allied trades em ployed at the packing houses . In South Omaha walked out at noon yesterday.

When th night force of men quit In the morning they took . their working .clothes with them The day shift men did the same when, they quit at noon. Good order prevailed during the walkout, th men leaving the. plants quietly.. Many went : . directly to their homes, while others- drifted towards labor headquarters to hear the latest news. In speaking of .the mechanical workers' walkout General Manager Murphy said: "We are glnd the matter Is settled. For .time, the men kept telling us they would not go out and led us to bellev they were satlslled to remain while negotiations for the. new wage scale. war pending.

The , Knight Commander Incident Is on which la attracting close official and pub llo Interest. , ' ' ' Interest la Intense. The Interest Is greater than usual for the reason that In tho British official, view It is one thing to seise a ship, having contraband on board and another to sink it without proper legal Inquiry to establish whether It is a good prize. Th British government Is desirous of obtaining all th facts before approaching Russia on the subject. The British authorities In Japan are obtaining testimony which will enable the British government to make up Its case. It la said In a reliable quarter that Great Britain will make earnest representations to Rus sia with a view to securing reparation and to prevent Interference with neutral com merce, such as it h been subjected to re cently. Premier Balfour, replying to a question In the House of Commons today In regard to the sinking of the British steamer Knight Commander, said Inquiries were being made on the subject, . but he was not yet in a position to make a statement.
