8 THE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1905. MILLARD ON 110ME MATTERS Senior ; lax'.er'i Eiccetaor Will E Choiea bj Nebraska Dtlejatiin. ELMER STEPHENSON WILL HOLD OVER Reasonable Hop for IJlrlalon of Stat Into Two Federal District loat Raral Free Dellrery Service Change. Senator Millard arrived1 home from Wtih Ington Saturday morning and will remain here until next Saturday. Miss Millard did not accompany him home, preferring; to re main In Washington rather than undertake the fatigue of po brief a visit. ."The session has b en an extremely busy one thus far," said the senator, "but the real business of the session will come after the holidays. As retards local affairs, the United States district attorneyship matter will not be taken up until I get back to WaHhlngton. The whole Nebraska delega tion will participate In the selection of a successor to Judge Kitxter. We will adopt the Iowa plan, whereby the entire state delegation goes Into caucus in the matter of appointments, and will be governed by I the rule of the majority. There are some J fifteen applicants for the position, and I I fim free to admit that most of them are ! from Omnha. However, the matter will not j come to a crluls until after my return to Washington. Assistant DiHtrlct Attorney A. W. Iane will remain in charge of the nfflce until the district attorney Is ep Ijnted. Stephenson Likely to Stlrk. "The mutter of the appointment of a col lector of Internal revenue has not been taken up and the probabilities are that K. a. mepnenson will hold over. No reap- i polntmcnt Is neressiiry and as ho already j has filed hi new bond the Inference follows i that he will continue for the new term as his own successor. His work has been very I catlHfartory and there Is no ppeclal call for lils removal. "I would Infer the appointment of Mr. Warner as United Slates marshal has re ceived tho popular approval. We all re gretted very much to see both Mr. Mathews and Judgo Baxter go, but It could not be helped. The Department of Justice and the president were determined upon their removal and there was nothing the Nebraska delegation could do to change that determination. The reappointment of the deputy marshals was an evidence they Old not come under the departmental dis pleasure, and In fact I was led to Infer their work was very satisfactory to the department. I wish right here that you would say for me that I shall have nothing to do with the appointment of the addi tional deputy. That is a matter that lies entirely with Marshal Warner. He must make his own selections, as his deputies are responsible to him, and he must be given free rein to make such a selection as he chooses. We have been besieged with a host of applications, but cannot consider them at all. That matter is entirely in the bands of Marshal Warner. Two Federal Districts. "There is a reasonably fair show for tho division of the state Into two federal dis tricts, the North and South Platte dis tricts. It Is very probable all of Hall county will be Included In the North Platte district, as 'part of that county lies south of the I'l:itte. The entlro Nebraska delega tion Is a unit on the proposition and I am of opinion It will be accomplished. At all events wo shall do what we can to that end. "In reference to tho Panama canal mat ter, I rather think the commission will be retained. However, a committee has been appointed to Investigate the expenditures thus far mado and as to what disposition has been mado of the funds thus far ap propriated. Including the t0,000,000 purchase money paid to France. The only contro versy that arises Is over the apparent ex travagance. Much of this session of con gress will bo devoted to canal expenditure Investigations. There Is no charge of cor ruption or graft in the affair of the com mission. Ilnllrond Hate I.caialat iou. "There Is a prospect of a bill being re ported in the scnato relative to railroad rato regulation. In fact, such a bill is now being formulated and will be reported to congress about Fobruary 13. This bill Is one that will prove satisfactory to both the public and the railroads. No proba bility Is anticipated of drastic measure being adopted, but tho measure will be one satisfactory to all parties interested and also to the Interstate Commerce commis sion.

The letter from the attorney waa brought about through a note from Inspector With nell sent to Hayden Brothers December 13, directing the specified changes be made In construction and that new plans be nicd in hi office. Hayden Brothers took up the matter with the attorney and the result was the letter to tho Inspector, telling hlra I his duty ends when he has Informed the ' owner of the structure of the action taken by the council. 1 "It is the strangest doctrine I have ever I heard from the legal department of any 1 city," said the Inspector.
