WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-(SpeCial Teie-
gram. Major Pollock, who was Disputed to
investigate the condition of the Otoe In
dians relative to the lands purchased in
Gage county, has prepared his report and
will probably submit the same to the secre-
tary of the interior tomorrow, or as soon
as the sscrstary intimates a desire to sse
the report of the special agent Major Pol
lock said today that, while he could not
give the report publicity before its sub
mission to the secretary, he intimated that
he would recommend an extension of time
in which to make payment on arrears on
lands, and also for rebate, how much he
absolutely refused to say. He was Of the
opinion that the existing conditions in Gage
county warranted this action on the part
of the department, in viiw of the failure
of crops and the general financial depression.
Eugene Moore is not in Washington for the
sole purpose of assisting e. X. Valentine in
his candidacy for sergeant at arms of the SEN
ate, but is on personal mission well. He
endeavoring to secure from Congressman
Meklejohn an expression as to whether the
latter has determined to make the race for
governor Of Nebraska next fall In this mis-
sion Mr.. Moore thus far has met with fall
ure, Congressman Meiklejohn stating today
that he had not made up his mind whether
to be candidate or not, although he had re-
ceived many solicitous letters asking him to
stand as the candidate from the North Platte
country.
MIGHT HAVE A SHOW HIMSELF.
Mr. Moore believes that with Meklejohn
out of the race he could command a very
respectable following in the convention and
believes he could be nominated He recog
nzes that a host of candidates have the
gubernatoral bee buzzing about them, nota-
bly, r. E. Moore and Charles H. Morrill, of
Lancaster county; T. j. Majors Of Nemaha
county, who, according to Tattooed Toms
brother, demands a vindication at the hands
of the republican party" w. j. Broatch of
Douglas county, c. L. Richards of Hebron,
of the house from Red Willow county; c. E.
Adams of Superior, Nuckolls county and
Jack MacColl of Dawson county
In view Of the fact that Er Balch of the
Omaha National bank and Treasurer Trey are
candidates for state treasurer, and Attor-
ney General Churchill will be candidate for
reelection, Moore thinks that Broatch will
have hard row to hoe to secure a delega-
tion favorable to his candidacy
