Nebraska Situation Becoming Tame.

LINCOLN, NEB., January l0.-The guber-
Material situation remains unchanged.
Governor Boyd is recognized by all the
State officers, while Governor Thayer still
insists that he is still at the head Of the
State government. 1t is evident that Gov
ernor Boyd's warrants will be honored by
the Auditor and Treasurer, while Governor
Thayer will not be able TO have supplies
for his militimen pending the settlement
of the controversy by the Supreme Court.
In the Senate this morning little business
was transacted and an adjournment was
taken until Monday afternoon. Several
Important bills were introduced, but the
proceedings were tame throughout.

WASHINGTON, January l0.-The following
lett9r has been addressed TO the Secretary
of the Navy by Commander Reiter, u. >.
n. who was severely censured by the Sec
rrtary for his conduct In the Barrundia
affair:
PTTsBURG PA, January S.
Sm:-I have acknowledged the receipt
Of the Departments letter OF December 81,
1890. The letter was mailed in Washing
ton. D., G. on the 9th day Of January, and
was received by me on the 9Th. II was
foreshadowed by the press OF the United
States on January lst and "a,
and an extract from il containing
the most severe censure of the De
partment appears in the press Of the
country to-day. The letter then became TO
the general public, unfamiliar with the true
facts of the case, severe public repri-
mandr 10 me, punishment which can
only oe legally inflicted by a sentence OF
naval general court martial. ! was de-
tachcd from the command of the Ranger
bv the Department order Of the 18th OF
September, 1890. and the letter is the first
written statement OF the Departments
grounds of action. Extracts Of IL having
been given 20 the press for publica-
ton before | could possibly reply TO
il. | now content myself by simply
declaring that when in command Of the
Ranger on the occasion in question was
in no way culpable, but discharged my
whole duty; that had no desire nor did |
endeavor 10 escape any responsibility at
taching TO my position, and | do not now
fear the most searching inquiry in regard
10 my action.
AS regard your letter as unjust, unde-
served and unwarranted, | have TO respect
fully demand what is clearly my right,
namely, trial before naval court.
Respectfully,
GEORGE G. REITrER,
Commander u. ;. y.

3rd, 1891.
A great sensation occurred to-day. On
last Thursday a boy about II years old, son
of John Gordon, colored, and residing with
his father. suddenly died and was buried
on Sunday. The father reported that
while in a paroxysm or mt resulting
from whooping cough, he fell in the
are and was burned 10 death. Afterwards
different and conflicting stories were cir
culated. Some believe the child was
whipped to death. He dressed the corpse
himself and refused to let any one see IT.
These suspicious circumstances have ecaused
the officers TO take the body up and at the
inouest to-day the coroner's jury rendered
a verdict that the child came to its depth
bv burn. but as to how unknown. 1t was
very evident the child had been badly
neglected.
The morning two young boys Dy the
name of King aud Brown were arrested
upou the charge Of burglarizing l.. M.
Patton's store, and were held by Squire
Camp TO await an indictment.

Col. Forsythe will be cleared. Upon
that point there is but little doubt The
investigating committee has completed its
work. and while It's members have as yet
made no report it is thoroughly understood
that the Colonel will be eXonerated. The
testimony of the officers and soldiers OF the
Seventh Cavalry leaves no other course
open. Inquiry shows conclusiveiy that no
soldier was killed by the fire. The charges
that this was done formed the root oil tne
