AssPECK OF TROUBLE.
TnesrO6006rd to Sail Under Hasty Orders
for Business If Necessary

Xuo uocUrd 10 sail Under Hasty Orders
for Business If Necessary.
There is a speck Of trouble in South Ameri-
can waters.
The United States gunboat Concord will sail
under hasty orders from New London. Conn,
at daylight tomorrow morning for Venezuela
She will be armed to transact business Of q
lively character if it becomes necessary.
At the Navy Department it is said that she
goes to protect American interests that may be
imperiled by the unsettled political conditions
in Venezuela.
1t is whispered, however, that there will be o
more serious phase to her mission. The rumor
is that this government will demand the return
OF the political refugees who we're recently
taken by the Venezuelans from an American
passenger ship flying the flag Of the United
States
Color is given to this rumor by the we'll
known position of the United States in similar
cases. the most noteworthy being the Bermuda
case.
1t will be remembered that Secretary Blaine
in this case reafirmed the ultimatum of this
country that political refugee cannot be re-
moved from beneath the United States flag.
AT the State Department no absolute state
ment Is made concerning this matter. 1t is
said that the Concord will undoubtedly inves-
tlgate the stories Of the removal OF tho refugees
and will report to the department upon all
matters concerning the safety of citizens of
this country

AFTER A. COALING STATION.
One Wanted by the U. 8. Either at Hayti
San DOmfnyO.

One Wanted by the U. s. Either at Hayti or
San Domingo.
Active efforts are being made by the State
Department now to secure possession Of a coal
ing station at Hayti or San Domingo. The
U. s. s. Kearsarge is now in those waters on
a mission connected with these negotiations
She was placed at the disposal of our minister
at Port au Prince to convey him from there to
San Domingo and to support him in his
dealings with those governments The last
heard from the captain Of the Kearsarge which
was recently. he reported that President Hypo-
lite was very polite and in every way courteous
to the American representatives and that nego-
tiations were progressing. Hypolite has not
been disposed to permit the United States to
establish coaling station at the San Nicholas
harbor in accordance with the understanding
at the time of the establishment Of his admins
tration, but his power is not altogether secure,
and it is supposed that he may be more ready
now to make terms. 1t not yet certain whether
we will succeed in getting coaling station estab-
lished in Hayti, butitis probable the negotiations
will shortly be successful either there or in San
Domingo. Meanwhile the Kearsarge will be at
hand to look after the United States interests.

THE OUTLOOK IN NEBRASKA.
Judge Crounse Says 1t Is Bright for RI
publican Success.

Judge Crounse Says 1t Is Bright for Re-
publican Success.
Assistant Secretary Crounse has returned
from Nebraska looking sunburned and tawney-
well, just like any man would look who was out
in the hot sun all day ''mending fences" He
has done a right smart lot of fence mending
lately.
Speaking seriously, however, to a STAR man
today Of the political situation in Nebraska,
Judge Crounse said:
"The outlook in Nebraska from republican
standpoint is excellent. The republicans never
were more in earnest and the campaign is being
entered upon with determination to win. Two
years ago, owing to two successive failures Of
crops-something unprecedented in the state
and the consequent feeling of discomfort, Ne
braska fell largely into the alliance movement.
Again, prohibition and anti-prohibition en-
tered so largely into the campaign that it swal-
lowed up, in great degree, those issues upon
which the two old parties were divided.
Nebraska. which has always been 30 strongly
republican, is today misrepresented in Congress
and the republicans are resolved to set the state
right.
1.-THE alliance party is making no new ac-
cessions. On the contrary many of that party
are returning to the republican fold, some par
ticipating in the late republican caucuses and
conventions.
again, the conditions are changed. In
stead of two failures of crops two excellent
ones have taken their place.
''The prospect for full cribs and graineries
was never better than this year and our people
are happy.
The party is being thoroughly organized
and more and better campaign work will be
done this year than ever before You may
look for good report from the republicans Of
the state when the polls shall have been closed. "
Judge CrOunse has not decided when he will
hand in his resignation to enter the guberna-
torial campaign.

That's What Lieut.. Hollinberger Thinks He
Has Accomplished.
Today Lieut.. Hollinberger is quietly waiting
to be relieved of the supervision Of the garbage
business and at 2 O'Clock there had been but
about dozen complaints. "Yes," said the
clerk he city has been cleaned up at least as far
as it isy,,possible. 1t is true that we still
have complaints, but when the number is SO
few as a dozen in such a large population we
can well say that the city has been cleaned up
We are now ready to be relieved, and can with
some pride refer to the fact that from nearly o
hundred the complaints have fallen to dozen
''This number does not indicate that in all
cases there is cause Of complaint, for the gar
bage man may have been Inaccessible to the
collector at the time Of calling, in which case
the complainant should take the blame"
