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. "As regards Insurance legislation It 1

the bourd of examining engineers and ap

In a letter to the Inspector the attorney
take the poaltion that the city should not
attempt to exercise any supervision over the
construction of the building In which two
laborer were killed by collapse of part of
the concrete and steel work, because If It
doe the city may become Involved in pos
sible liabilities in possible future damages.
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
