LARGE DEFICITS.
COnditi0n-$527.O 900 Necessary to
balance the Books.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. ia statement of
the financial condition of the state treasury
of Nebraska, shows that the ex-state treas
urer, j. s. Bartley, Republican, has def
cit staring him in the face of over $780,
600. Coupled with this is little item OF
$4,000 which ex-State Auditor Eugene
V. Moore, also Republican, needs to
account for in order to balance his books.
When the panic of 1882 struck Nebraska,
Bartley deposited large sums in various
state banks to help them through the
crisis. Several of the banks subsequently,
failed, and others were so closely pressed
that il was impossible to discharge the
obligation. Bartley says that in time
every cent will be paid. The shortage in
Moore's accounts has not yet been ex-
planned.

ATTORNEY Y-GENERALSHIP.
of California, Are Both Aspirants
for the Position.

Canton, Feb. 19.-The published re-
ports, that Col. j. J.. McCook, of New
York, had been rendered the portfolio OF
attorney-general, can not be verified. His
name is believed to have been presented
by friends in connection with cabinet
position. II is thought, however that
Judge McKenns, of California, may be
attorney-genersl and that Judge McCook's
name be under consideration for secretary
of the interior.
Col. John j. McOook said to-day that
he had not received from President Nc
Kinley any intimation that he would be
rendered position in the cabinet.

Advocates of International Monetary
Conference Bill Disappointed at
Lack of Interest Manifested in
the Measure.
JOHN SHERMAN'S EXECUTIVE SESSION
Senator Sherman Makes An Earnest
Appeal for Postponement of the
Arbitration Treaty Until
March 5.

Washington, D. O.. Feb. 19.-The advo'
Gates of the international monetary con.
ference bill were disappointed by the re.
suit of the meeting of the house coinage
committee to-day.
There WAS no quorum present nor any
one to address the committee on the sub.
ject.
There is understanding that the com.
mittee will vote ON reporting the bill to.
morrow, but the members who have been
pushing the measure fear there may be
no quorum.
ARBITRATION TREATY.
Senator Sherman was prompt in max
ing good his promise for an executive
session, to friends of the arbitration
treaty to ask the senate to go into execu-
tive session to-day, for the purpose of
considering the treaty with the hope of
concluding its consideration before the
day of adjournment.
SENATOR Nelson made an earnest ap.
peal for the adoption of his motion to
postpone the treaty until the 5th of
March. He said he spoke as a friend
of the treaty, but was convinced from
what he had seen and heard, that final
action was out of the question during the
present session. He admitted his especial
interest was to give time for a considera-
tion of the bankruptcy bill for passage,
for which he said there was a crying de-
mand from all parts of the country. Tel
Ter and Stewart supported the motion to
postpone action on the treaty.
NO PENSION,

rejected the report from its conference
committee recommending that the widow
of Maior-Gen. Joseph B. Carr be pen.
stoned at the rate of $75 per month.
