MAJOR MBLfeRD' .GxkkrzeE.e
Much Surprise and Comment Caused
By It In Omaha.

Omaha, Nov. 25.-The Bee tomorrow
will say: Omaha people were much
surprised at the announcement of the
marriage of Major Milford of the
Twenty-ninth volunteer regiment He
went out as major of the First, Ne
braska and came home as its colonel.
He had been married for several years,
and there were no reports of any diff
ferences until after his return from
Manila. Then it was noised about that
he had practically abandoned his wife.
She had done everything in her power
to bring about his promotion to the COL
onelcy of the First Nebraska, but when
he returned it was soon made evident
to her that she was no longer to share
his joys and sorrows. When the colo
mel returned to Omaha she started di-
vorce proceedings on the ground of de-
sertion, Milford, it is alleged, agreeing
to pay her a stipulated sum per month
for her maintenance, though this does
not appear in the rleadings. The decree
of divorce was granted last Thursday,
but has not yet been entered as mat
ter of record, owing to the fact that
the costs in the case have not yet been
paid. Lawyers say that until the de-
cree is entered up the matter stands as
though no divorce has been granted,
and that in case Mrs. Milford No.
should so desire she could successfully
prosecute him for bigamy under the
Nebraska law. The first Mrs. Milford
is now in Washington hith friends and
with her 4-year-old child.

CONSOLIDATE THE BUREAUS.
Long Wants But One Department For
Construction and Repairs.


New York, Nov. PA special dis
patch to the Herald from Washington
says: There is reason to believe that
Secretary Long will recommend in his
annual report that legislation be en-
acted authorizing the consolidation of
the bureaus of construction and re-
pair steam engineering and equipment.
In place of these three bureaus, ac-
cording TO the secretary'S plans, there
will be one department. which will pass
upon the various questions which arise
in connection with the various con-
struction and repair of ships. 1t is no
secret that the secretary's conSidera-
lions in this matter are the direct re-
suit of friction constantly occurring in
the relations between the bureaus
named, growing out of the effort on
tire parts one to extend its authority
in the domain of the other. The sec
rotary believes that the interest of the
service demands harmony in the con-
duct of the work on better business
principles.
Before Incorporating the recommen-
rected the chiefs of the bureaus con-
cerned to submit their views as to the
advisability of consolidation Rear
Admiral Hichborn. chief constructor,
favored the proposition to some extent.
but Rear Admiral Melville and Rear
Admiral Bradford opposed. the former
suggesting board of control rather
than a single department.
1t is understood that friends of the
three officials have interested them
selves in the matter and it is unlikely
that any legislation on the subject will
get drought congress.

Especial Correspondence,

Washington. d. c., Nov. 2l.-The Re-
publican national committee has been
called to meet here early in December.
The Democratic national committee will
probably meet in January. although Sem
ator Jones, the chairman, has not yet
fixed the exact date. He will do this as
soon as. he receives replies from letters
which he has addressed TO all members OF
the committee. In these letters he has
asked the members to express their pref
erence between an early January and an
early February date for the conference,
and Will call it on the date that the great
est number of members favor. The cnan-
ces are in favor of the January date. In
either event, however, the meeting VIII

has come to be almost the settled practice

1t is easy to predict that both commit
tee meetings will be dull. There will be u

looks very much as if Chicago would cap
tire them both. Little is now heard of
Senator Wolcott's scheme to carry the
convention to Denver. He appears to have
done little serious work to secure Ii. al
though he did great deal of talking
about it and actually addressed letters TO
all members of the committee reciting the
advantages Of Denver. geographically and
its opportunities for enjoyment by dele
gates. not forgetting a broad hint that if
the Republican convention had assembled
in Denver the silver states would come
trooping and whooping into the gold col
umn at next falls elections. Thus far it
cannot be ascertained that any members
of the committee favor the scheme. They
like Denver we'll enough, but there seems
TO be almost unanimous desire to take the
convention to Chicago. Milwaukee is
making a bid for the convention. but it is
a feeble effort and not at all likely to
succeed

CONTEST TAL|AFERRO'S SEAT
FLORIDA SENATOR'S ELECTION
TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Former Senator Call Says His Selec-
ton Was Owing to Unfair Influ-
ence of Standard Oil Company.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Former Sena-
tor Call of Florida has prepared a
statement for presentation to the SEN
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tions, asking that the manner of the
election of Senator-elect Taliaferro of
Florida be investigated. He charges
that undue means were used to secure
Mr. TaIiaferro's election, and asks that
he be not seated. He asserts that the
election was due to the unfair influence
of the Standard Oil company, which,
ne says, used money to accomplish it's
purpose. Mr.. Call also asks the indus
trial commission to investigate the
charges, as indicating the methods of
trusts in politics.

Talk About Roberts.

The Washington Post in an editorial to-
day says: Since the end of the cam
paign excitement of 1896, no other ques-
ton of a purely domestic character has
excited so profound a feeling as that of
the election of a polysaInist to the ma
excitements have come, have stirred up
the people. called out expressions of dis
appreciation or APPROVAL. have ELECTED
anathemas or benedictions. and have
dropped out of sight. But this has stayed
with US. and ii still abides. If Represen-
tative-elect Roberts is permitted to retain
the seat to which he has perfectly valid
title-having been duly elected thereto
there win be deeper disappointment and
the decision of such a question by any
legislative body on earth
The Post has not been able to discover
any lawful way of preventing Roberts
from taking his seat, nor has the Post
found any lawful way of getting him out
of his seat except expulsion. and tnat
requires a two-thirds vote. That such
vote will be secured in response to the
demands of the churches. of the women

Blow .at Divorce Industry.

Bismarck, N. D.. Nov. 25.-The state
supreme court. in its decision just handed
down in Graham VS.. Graham, strikes an
other hard blow at the divorce industry.
1t holds that residence in the state must
be bona fide and characterized by the
intention to stay. to give the litigant the
benefit of the SKATE law. Those who come
20 the state for the express purpose of
securing divorce do not acquire residence.
While the last legislature increased the
period of residence requisite from ninety
days TO year, this decision will affect
the status of many divorces granted by
lower courts prior TO the going into effect
of the new law.

Anti-strike Bill Fails.

Although expected, the burial of the
anti-strike bill came more swiftly than
anticipated by either the government
or the reichstag. The collapse was due
TO the conviction of the centrists that
their amendments would not be ac-
cepted by the government. The cor
respondent of the Associated Press
learns that there is no intention to in
troduce another anti-socialist bill at
present. Emperor William no longer
attaches the highest Importance to an
anti-strike bill. and even the canal bill
for time has given way to the naval
bill, the passage of which engrosses his
thoughts. In the meanwhile Count
Posadowski-Wehne the minister of
the interior, and the Berliner Corre-
spondenz, the special organ of the gov
eminent in the policy, severely repri-
manded the majority of the reichstag,
which, on the rejection of the bill. was
made up Of the entire left, centre and
socialists. Because of their lack of
courtesy the high officials threaten that
as every bill designed to restrain or
repress socialists is defeated. the gov
eminent vii; have to find other means
TO accept this end, it is claimed to be
necessary to curb the growing inso-
lence of the socialists.
The government officials also say
plainly that there is no intention of
to enlarge the right of political coali-
Tion throughout Germany until the
reichstag has passed measures to guar
artee against the growing abuse of
the right of coalition among the labor
ing classes.
Press Rejoices.
The press Overwhelmingly rejoices at
the defeat of the bill. The Vorwaerts
says: will the government learn?
Can internal things continue as at pres
