SON of the late General E. O. c. Ord.

son of the late General E. o. G. Ord.
A few weeks ago Ord was examined by
the army board here and promoted
from second sergeant to second lieu
tenant and General Stanly assigned
him to a company of the Eighteenth
infan Y, stationed at Fort Clark.
Colonel Laselle. commander at the
post is preparing a protest against the
reception Of Lieutenant Ord as COM
missioned officer in his regiment on
the ground that his promotion was the
result of a species Of favoritism be-
coming too frequent in the United
States army. 1t is claimed by a GER
tain element of army officers that the
sons Of rich men. politicians or army
officers who fail to pass the examina-
ton for West Point are enlisted in the
army with the understanding that after
serving a short time in the ranks they
are to be given undue preference over
the ordinary private in the matter of
promotion.

Internal Revenue Matters.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The report
| of the commissioner of internal reve-
nue. for the fiscal year ended June so,
1890, is at hand and contains some
interesting local information.
The total receipts from internal
revenue were $142, 5S7, 1873. Of this
Nebraska paid So, 969. 745. This is
more than was paid by California,
Massachusetts,, Michigan and other
states. California's amount was
So, OLA, 624, and Colorado's only $31S,-
224. Illinois paid the largest amount
with $34, S7S, 691. The Nebraska dis
tricts includes the two Dakotas.
One man was killed in Florida,
Deputy Collector Frank Miller, while
attempting to enforce the evenu
laws and one was killed in North Caro-
lima, Revenue Agent kirkpatrick. This
is the smallest casualty list in years.
AS to the payment of bounties to pro-
ducers of beet sugar, the commissioner
says it is an entirely new feature which
his Office lacks the machinery to carry
on. The Office is simply a collection
Office. 1t will be necessary to make a
chemical analysis in all cases where
bounty is claimed. 1t is not deemed
practical to have samples sent here and
rely on the tests on these as to the
entire production. The tests with
p~olarioscope will require a large force
of chemists, as the department of agri-
culture had these chemists and is con-
versant with the beet sugar industry.
The commissioner urges that congress
transfer this entire matter of bounties
to that department.
New York stands at the head of the
list in the manufacture of cigars and
cigarettes, Pennsylvania second. Ne
braska used 375, SAG pounds of tobacco
and manufactured 10, O9S, 346 cigars.
There are POP cigar manufacturers in
the state of Nebraska. The state also
has 4 rectifiers, 1445 retail liquor deal
ers, 46 wholesale liquor dealers, 2
dealers in leaf tobacco, $50 dealers
in manufactured tobacco, 9 ~peddlers of
tobacco, % brewers, A retail dealers
in malt liquor. AZ wholesale dealers in
malt liquor, II retail dealers in oleo-
margarine, 4 wholesale dealers in oleo-
margarine, showing a grand total of
II, 344 dealers who pay internal reve-
nue. taxes. There is no oleomargarine
manufactured in Nebraska but the state
pays 1924 on retail sales and 81, O2O on
wholesale sales. There are thirty-nine
retailers of oleomargarine in the state.

The WORKS for Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-When the
second session OF the Fifty-first con-
gress is called to order at noon today
it will be confronted by an immense
remnant OF last session and some OF IL
new legislation. Allowing for tbs
Christmas holidays there will be sew
enty-nine working days in the session.
Among tho bills left over from lass
session are the election bill, the Con-
ger lard bill and the bankruptcy bill.
These bills, as is we'll known, have al
ready passed the house and now await
action only by the senate. 1t is likely
that there will be substitutes offered
for the lard bill and the election bill.
The Paddock pure food bill will prob
ably be the one offered as a substitute
for the Conger bill while Senator
HOar's bill will be submitted as q SUBJ
stitute for for the Podge bill as a mat
ter of course. If these substitutes are
passed by the senate it will again
throw them before the house. While
the senate is struggling with the above
named bills the house will be eonsid-
ering the shipping bills and the bills
transferring the revenue marine serv-
ice from the treasury department, which
were left ove from last session, hav-
ing passed the senate. There are
several bills now upon the calen-
dar Enacted upon, but reported
favorably from committees among
them the international copyright; to
establish a limited postal service; to
increase the naval establishment; to
telegraph companies under the opera
ton of the interstate commerce law; TO
provide Notifications; to establish a
gun factory on the Pacific coast; to
amend the interstate commerce act; to
protect American forests, and to reduce
the amount of bonds required to secure
the circulation of national banks to
81, 900 for each bank. To consider all
of these bills would require more time
| than this session affords, and in order
to accomplish anything it will be nee
essary to lay aside some of the bills
and act only on those which are abso-
lutely important. Outside OF the bills
mentioned are the new ones which are
regarded as those requiring more at
tention. They are the reapportion-
ment bill and the various appropriation
bills. The appropriation bills will
likely give little trouble. as the demo-
cratic members of the appropriations
committee say they will give no oppo-
sition. The reapportionment bill,
however, is sure to precipitate a long
and acrimonious war. Then there are
the many small bills which will con-
sumo a great deal of time and which
are of local Importance only. Alto
gether, the session will have its hands
full to overlooking and it will require
all the energy of the leaders to getany-
thing out of the accumulated mass.

Rosebud Agency ust the Place for
an Ambush.

ROSEBUD AGENCY, S. D., (via VAL
entine, Neb.) Nov. 26.-[Special to
the Omaha Bee.]-The beef issue
passed quietly. No n was refused
beef, even those coming from Two
Strikes, Crow Dogs and White Horse
camps. No arrests were made. Short
Bull and the rebels have moved to
Corn creek, about seventy-eight miles
from Rosebud and Pine Ridge. Some
have taken their wives and children
and are driving all the cattle they can
pick up. No attack is anticipated at
Rosebud. Pine Ridge agency is a fort
while Rosebud is just the place to am
bush troops. The agency is situated
in a hole having six deep winding can
non leading to it. Any one of these
would hold 2, 000 Indians and their ap-
proach could not be seen. Col. Smith
said: IF 1 picket and guard this
agency as it should be 1 have not sufi-
Gent men. Old Spotted Tail picked
this place out for the Indians, not for
the convenience of any n else"
No place short of the bad lands is so
difficult to get out of. At present COM
panies A, B and H Of the Eighth in
fantry and A and G of the Ninth caval-
ry are holding this hazardous situation.
One company is entrenched on a high
hill that commands two cannons. The
rest of the command is encamped near
the agency. The encampment is on
the only spot where the agency can be
protected. but as a camp ground it is
awful. During the whole year hun
dreds of teams stand there daily.
Said Captain Porter to-day 1--WE are
perhaps sufficient for defense but as for
doing anything more even making a
demonstration we "a do nothing
However no attack is anticipated at
present. But in case the force is Or
dered to move after the rebels then
where will the agency be? Just the
fighting force of the rebels is now un-
known. Many of the Indians run toward
the rebel forces IN the arrival of the
soldiers from fear alone. When these
are given to understand no harm will
be done those at home many will re-
turn. At Rosebud the trouble is com
plicated, Crow Dog, White Horse and
Two Strike seems to be pushing mat
tiers on and urging Short Bull as a tool
The Indian police are on the alert and
active, and a large force is added tt
protect the government herd. Many
of the mixed bloods knowing the
country thoroughly are rendering good
service. and all can be depended on a:
loyal. Everyone at Rosebud is pleased
with the reinstatement of Agen'
Wright.

Parnell Will Remain Leader.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The Irish home
rule members of parliament met and a
motion made that Parnell be reelected
chairman of the Irish parliamentary
party carried unanimously. 1t was an
nounced that Parnell will retain the
leadership at the express desire of his
followers.
Parnell had a conference with JUS
tice Mccarthy, during which he handed
Mccarthy a bundle of papers contain
ing memoranda for his guidance as ses-
sional chairman OF the Irish party.
Parnell addressing the meeting said
nothing but the conviction that his col
leagues desired to still utilize his SER
vices in the common cause induced him
to remain in the position. which under
his altered circumstances exposed him
and them, through him, to the attacks
of opponents.

After the preliminaries of opening

President Adams resigned his office
and made a fOrcible and characteristic
address. Immediately following Pres
ident Adams speech, Messrs. John Z.
Spaulding, Samuel Carr and James A.
Rumrill rendered their designations,
which vas promptly accepted, and the
four Massachusetts managers OF the
great road at once withdrew from the
room. Their places were filled with
out any dissent. and Jay Gould, Rus
sell Sage, Henry B. Hyde and Alex Z.
Orr took their places in the directory
as soon as they were elected. Their
first business was the election of a sue
cessor to MI. Adams and Sydney Dillon,
a former incumbent of the office and
ex-president of the Gould interest. was
elected.
The altered complexion of the board
necessitated, of course, a change in the
makeup of the committees, and this
vas the business next in order. On
the executive commission Mr.. Gould
succeeded ex-President Adams, and
Russell Sage took the place of James
A. Rumrill. That committee as now
constituted consists of Jay Gould OF
New York; Frederick L. Ames, Edwin
F. Atkins and F. Gordon Dexter Of
Boston; Sydney Dillon, Russell Sage
and Government Director JOpn P.
Plummer of New York. Henry B. Hyde
and Alexander E. Orr replace Messrs

6Efghte -ospects than ever In
1lswer to a question whether there
would be any further changes in the
management of the Union Pacific, he
said: 40 further changes are con-
templated. Mr.. Dillon will devote
himself to the building up of the prop
erty and his practical knowledge and
thorough honesty will soon have their
effect" In regard to the address OF
Charles Francis Adams in resigning
the presidency, Mr.. Gould was some
what reluctant to speak. 1--WE did not
see it, he said, 'until we were on the
train on our return. I was surprised
at the tone of it, for when MIR. Adams
came to see me last week he thanked
me for my efforts to strengthen the
company. His statement about har-
mony in the board during his admins
tration is not wholly correct. The fact
is that. as I understand it, the direc-
tors knew very little about what the
president was doing. The road has
been run on principles that have
never before been carried into
practice. The difference between
the two presidents is very SIM
pie, but very great. Mr.. Dillon is a
practical railroad man. while Mr..
Adams is a theorist. The change in
the management of the Union Pacific
insures harmony among western rail-
ways and the formation of a strong
association on the basis suggested by
Chairman Walker, 1t will be the plr-
pose of the new association not so
much as to advance rates as to enable
the roads to get those now supposed to
be in force. Such an agreement will
preserve competition, for it will tend
to give the little roads a chance to live
while the present methods is driving
them into control of large systems. l
think every state in the union ought to
pass laws compelling the observance
of an agreement on that basis. A
meeting of western railroad officers
will be held very soon, probably next
week. There will be no difficulty in
gaining the cooperation of the Bur-
lington or the Rock Island company. 1
have not seen Mr.. Cable lately, but l
do not think he will have any serious
objections to the agreement that is
proposed. It may be merely a ques-
ton whether a road will be worth more
in or outside of the association" In
regard to the money market and the
general financial situation, Mr., Gould
was confident that the most serious
trouble had beer passed.
