UTE INVASION.

Captain Gibbs Report Has Been Laid

and the Inside History of the Case
Shown Up Clearly.
Especial to The HeraId.l

Washington, D. c., Feb. Ex-Governor
West, who has been endeavoring for
some time to have the war department
make final settlement on the Ute
invasion, says a settlement is now in
sight. He has received a report from
Captain Gibbs, and has laid this be-
fore the proper authorities with his ar
gument in favor of justice to Utah.
There seems to be a disposition for
fairness, and as the inside history of
the whole transaction is shown up, the
department officers will probably act
vigorously after the necessary red tape
has been used.

A BACK NUMBER,
OUR DIPLOMATIC SERVICE SHOULD
BE LOOKED AFTER.
Senntor Morgan Gives Good Reasons
Why Some Very Radical Changes
Should BE Made-CiTu Service
Principles.

Washington. Feb. 6.-Senator. Nor
Relations, today reported the loill for
the reorganization of the diplomatic
service of the United States and in
doing so submitted a report setting
forth the necessity for the change. In
the report he says the present system
is practically the same as adopted in
1870 He reviews the growth of the
country'S commerce, and says that
while our commercial relations have
become extensive and intricate no step
has been taken in recent years to in
crease the consular service TO which
the direction and fostering of these
relations are entrusted.
Speaking of the drawbacks to the
present system, the political fayoritism
by which it is characterized is referred
to as the most marked. The object is
TO provide a system by which the per-
sons shall be trained for the duties of
the consular service so that they shall
be able to perform them in the best
possible way at a reasonable expense
to the government. Under our present
system consular or diplomatic Of
|flcer has no sooner familiarized him
sen WIFI the duties of his Office and
begun to acquire knowledge of it's
business and fitness for his duties than
he is removed to make room for an
other novice who is likewise superseded
as soon as his experience begins to
enable him to discharge the duties to
the satisfaction of himself and others.
Thus, in one generation the posts are
frequently filled by<a number of men
who are successfully displaced as soon
as they have learned to transact the
business of their offices with some
thing like professional knowledge and
skill
The plan submitted by Mr.. Morgan
provides for a general reorganization
of the consular service on civil SER
vice principles, except in case of con-
sular agents. who are excluded from
the renraanizatinn

state:
Kearney-The worst storm that has
visited this section for the past ten
years has been raging here during the
past twenty-four hours. At noon the
thermometer registered II below and
the wind blew a hurricane. Several
roofs have been, more or less, blown
off, and outhonses overturned. The
sand and snow has also filled the air
so that person can scarcely see a
block away. All business has been sus-
pended.
Norfolk fierce gale accompanied
by piercing cold weather, has ragged
in this vicinity all day. There is little
snow TO help to MAXI a destructive
blizzard, but what there is, is mixed
with binding dust that has practically
caused all business and traffic to sus-
pend.
Beatrice-The worst storm known in
this vicinity for seven years past has
prevailed throughout the day. Bust
ness has been practically suspended.
Grand Island-A storm Of dust and
snow,6ras been raging all day and con-

mixed with snow as to make il look
