Nebraska Crops.

OMAHA, July Crop reports from
every county in the state show flattering
prospects. A vast increase in acreage is
reported. due to the rapid settlement of the
state. Corn is still king by large ma
jority, both in acreage and condition. rang
ing from 10 to % per cent of the former,
while the stand is in all cases equal and in
many cases exceeds last year. The wheat
acreage has decreased in older settled coun-
ties, but the new ones make up the deficiency.
The outlook is generally for a 80 per cent.
crop. Oats and flax have an increased
acreage. and the condition of botn is excel
lent. Very few complaints of damage by
storm are received, but superabundance of
rain is reported, which in some localities
will delay harvest. Farmers are enthusl-
aStic, and have the encouragement of good
weather, though the northern portion of the
state was hurt by the heavy storm of
June IA.

Seized by Strikers.

CLEVELAND, O., July 7.-Great excite
ment prevails in the eastern part of the
city. This morning /, 200 strikers from the
iron mills at Newburgh marched into the
city and visited the Chisholm Shovel works
on Case avenue. This establishment is
operated by the Chisholms, who also own
the controlling interest in the Cleveland
rolling mills. The strikers forced the work
men out and closed down the factory. They
then proceeded TO the Union Screw works
on Case, near Payne avenue. They were
denied admittance. whereupon they broke
in the windows and forcibly took posses
sion of the place. The workmen quit rather
than have riot and the mob carried every
thing before them. The doors were bat
tered down with heavy pieces of timber and
car pins dashed through the windows.
Fayette Brown, president of the company,
was struck on the head with a club and
quite seriously injured. Girls employed in
the packing rooms tainted, and orders were
quickly given to stop the engines and stop
work. The strikers then left the city and
returned to the Eighteenth ward. The pO-
lice were rapidly moving toward the scene
of the riot when hostilitieS ceased, and they
returned to their beats. Several men were
badly hurt by stones, but no intended vio-
lence against the workmen by strikers was
reported.
The injuries to Mr.. Brown are quite Sc
rious. lie is well up in years, and one of
the best known business men in Northern
Ohio. The local military are at their ar
mories tonight prepared to move ON the
rioters if any further violence is attempted.

HIGGINS THE GREAT.
The Man Who Thinks He Runs the
Governments.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-Another wicked
effort is being made to disturb the peace of
mind of Mr.. Eugene Higgins. 1t appears
from several newspapers that the president
sent for him yesterday, and, after
having had quarter of an
hour with the chief magistrate,
Mr.. Higgins returned to the treasury look
ing very detected. 1t was therefore de-
elded III the aforesaid papers that Higgins
was TO go. The fact is, however, that he
was not sent for by the president Col. La
mont sent for him, but when he got to the
White house the colonel was busy, and after
he cooled his heels in the ante-room
for time he returned to the
treasury without ever seeing the
private secretary. Naturally he wore
detected expression on his face. Higgins,
II Is said is extremely fond of collecting a
crowd OF the boys around the National hotel
or some fayOrite resort in Baltimore, and
giving them the impression that he is the
whole government, making appointments at
his own sweet will, limited only by neces-
slty Tor the present, of pretending to show
some respect for that outrage, the civil
service law. OF course such talk
makes him appear to be man of mammoth
proportions to the boys" who think that
IL the president and Secretary Manning
would only give the great Higgins room ac-
eordng to his size, he would do some won
derful things for the party The president
and secretary may not like this sort of
things, but they have not said so out loud,
and Gorman's friends are persons entitled
TO consideration. Higgins is man of re-
markable urbanity on the surface.
He has kissed the blarney stone
and there are few men who
can stand off Officeseekers with such adroit-
ness as he. He doesn't shed much Iustre
on reform administration, but he has
great faculty for business and for dispOsing
OF large number of people-treasury EN-
ployeS and OutSideTs-in very short time
Many of his worst enemies are Democratic
congressman, sometimes because he doesn't
keep his promise 10 them, sometimes be-
cause he regards himself as too large a

for other reasons

Talk at the Cabinet Meeting,

WASHINGTON, July T.-Secretaries
Whitney and Lamar were absent from the
cabinet meeting, which was of short dura-
ton. The outbreak of the Cheyennes was
reported by the secretary of war, who said
that steps had been taken to prevent any
more of the Indians from leaving the reser-
yation. He stated that regiment was now
on its way to the scene of the troubles and
that other troops are available, but that
the numbers are not sufficient in
case of a general outbreak. The
secretary of the treasury presented q
question as 10 his authority to institute a
thorough and comprehensive investigation
of the custom houses, subtreaSurieS and
other branches of the department with a
view of preventing a repetition of the
frauds recently perpetrated at the New Or
leans Subtreasury. No conclusion was
reached on this question, which was only
presented inadvertently. The question of
excluding visitors from the departments on
cabinet days as well as ON Saturdays was
discussed, but no decision was arrived at
The new rule was strictly enforced at the
White house to-day, Postmaster General
Villas being the only caller received before
the cabinet meeting.

Don,r Want n Vacation.
Special to the Globe.

WASHINGTON. July7.-One of the treas
ury officials said to-day that the clerks were
making comparatively lew applications for
annual leaves, although as a rule July and
August were the months in which most of
the employees took their vacations. He eX-
planned this upon the hypothesis that there
was so much uncertainty among the clerks
in regard to their positions that by far the
greater number preferred to remain on the
ground, where they could watch the pro-
greSs of events rather than take the chances
of dismissal while absent in some other part
of the country. A score or more of the
force had informed him that they would
remain at their desks during the entire
summer. The most of these are women
who are in chronic condition of fear at
the uncertainty of the situation.

ration of the term of the present officer,
which occurs in April next. He expresses
himself as well pleased with the course of
the president in regard to administration of

Il think the presidents policy is giving
the people satisfaction" he said. II get a
great many letters, and think the people
generally are satisfied even better than the
people in Washington"
''DO YOU think that Minnesota offices will
likely be taken up and disposed of sOOn?"
Doubtful; few of them may be, but 1
think the chances are that large proper
ton of those now holding them will serve
their terms out, except in cases where there
are serious charges against them. There
are some registers and receivers up in the
Northern part of the state that ought to go,

about all"

A Little Too Previous.

WASHINGTON, July THE district
commissioners have sent requisition to
the first comptroller of the treasury for
SlS5.OO0 for street improvements, office ex-
penseS, ETC., which Mr.. Durham, after con-
sultlng with the secretary, has decided not to
honor at this time, unless there is some bet
ter reason for so doing than now appears.
The appropriation for the whole year
is only 1896, 900, and the comptroller holds
that the sum asked for is very large to be
drawn in the first seven days of the year.
Moreover he says it does not appear that
there is any reason for drawing any money
at all at this time. The comptroller thinks
that sum could scarcely be due after three
days work and if the work was done before
the 1st of July it cannot be paid for out of
this appropriation.

MORE CROOKEDNESS.
Gross Breach of Trust Developed
inEfhe Shackamax CnSe Bank.


PHILADELPHIA, July THE hearing
of George w. Bumm, William II. Bumm
and Samuel P. Milligan, charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the ShackamaXon bank
of over $500, 900, took place this afternoon.
The testimony of John S. Kuen. the ex-
pert who was employed to examine the
books of the bank, was to the effect that in
1888 the firm of Bumm IL Sons checks
amounted to S7S2, ,671. AT the end of 1884
the firms account was overdrawn S144. 356
and notes amounting to S137. 0OO, drawn
by two clerks in the firms employ TO the
firms order, were deposited to their credit.
In 1885 the firms overdraft was $40, 571
and the only deposit during the year was
S760. The teller's books showed glaring in
accuracies, the false entries being in one in
stance as high as $50, 600. Many false ad-
ditions were shown. Joseph Conlllin, a
contractor, swore that he began to deposit
in the ShackamaXon in 1874 and about two
years later he entered into an arrangement
with the president, William d. Bumm,
now deceased,
TO GET MONEY
from the bank. Mr.. Bumm simply gave
him note and whenever he wanted money
to settle for his contract work he took the
note and got the money. This continued
until 1882. when President Bumm
advised him to draw the money in his per-
sonal checks, which he drew when he re-
quired it until the time of failure. He did
not keep a bank book and never made any
settlement. After Bumm's death Conkling
went on with the drafts the same as he had
before. About two weeks before the fail
ure he deposited IS, 600 in the bank with
the watchman after it was closed. He had
turned into the bank since 1888 about
$500, 600 in bills and warrants, and in 1878
he had given confessed judgment for
$780, to President Bumm. He was to
pay6 per cent. for all the money. Since
Bumm's death he has drawn but S25, 900

finds it quite task to receive hundred or

he can do nothing for them. There is an
immense amount of patronage attached to
the interior department which ought to be
in Democratic hands. Some day it may be.

worthy of appointments laughed at by the
