Aesociated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.


OMAHA, NEB., Dec 16.-It was learned Mt a
late hour last night that orders have been
issued from military headquarters, depart
ment of the Platte, resembling the orders Of
Friday, December 4th. The latter were the
mysterious orders ON which Battery D from
Fort Omaha proceeded in such extreme
haste to Fort Douglass at Salt Lake City
and which created the widespread
excitement over the expected Nor
mon uprising. Orders were secretly
promulgated the same date to every pest in
the department, instructing the comm md
ers to hold their men in readiness to move
at a moments notice. Adiutant- General
Beck, by whom the orders were issued, pos
itively refuses to say whether they came
direct from Washington or from Chicago, q
point on which general secrecy has been
observed since the first of the departmental
commotion. General Beck says, however
that the reason the first orders are counter
handed is that authorities are satisfied al
danger of an outbreak at Salt Lake is past
Battery B will remain permanently at For
Douglass, however, to prevent the POSSIBLE
ity Of any disturbance of large proportions
Beck says a great deal of unnecessary sensa
| tionalism has been worked out of the case

That monarchs can impart;

My kingdom is her heart.

2SS entitled bill to define the duties

lative to establishing soldiers home.

No. 562. Petition of w. l.. Church
i'll, Geo. l.. Maltz and 81 others of
Alpena, relative to proposed amend
ments to the charter of the city of
Alpena.
On demand of Representative Case,
the petition was read at length, and
spread at large on the House Journal,
ms follows:
We, the subscribers, residents and
taxpayers of the city of Alpena, most
respectfully remenstratc against the
passage of the bill introduced in the
House by James A. Case, member
from Alpena district, and known as
House bill No. 600. We deem it en-
tirely unnecessary to create more SUI
pervisors to protect the interests of
the city, as there are no antagonistic
questions or interests between it and
county. We can refer with pride to
the government of the county for the
past three years under the present
status, and do not hesitate to say it
has been far more economical, conser-
vative, and in the interest of the tax

for polling or voting, and hope our
honorable member will introduce a |
bill to that effect.
