Admiral Dewey expressed his gratif-

liked that so hearty and apparently
spontaneous greeting was in store for
him, and Of course he was a delighted
man. During the ride up Market street

spoke Of the elaborate decorations on

pleased with the illuminations. especl-

NEBRASKA MEN wORRIED.
Delegation Mt Washington Fear Ihcy
NH Lone a Congressman.


VIII Lose a nCongressman.
Washington, Dec. 5.The Nebraska
delegation is much exercised over the
provisions OF the Crumpacker reappor-
tionment bill, and so are the members
from Kansas. Each one will lose rep
resentatlve if this bill shall become a
law. 1t is drawn on the basis of 1875, 001
Inhabitants to each representative, and
ii will be the endeavor of the members
representing the states affected to raise
this basis to figure which will allow
them to escape reapportionment and
without the loss of a member. 1t Is gem
orally believed that Nebraska will lose
member, but Kansas will probably
hold her present strength in the house.
There is some sentiment in favor OF a
liberal proportion OF population to rep
resentation, and the argument Is used
that the British house of commons Is
much larger numerically than the Amer
can congress, and the refchstag has 500
members. while we have 3H6 only. 1t is
argued that a republican form Of gov
ernment must necessarily depend upon
the widest possible representation of the
people In the legislature of the country
and that the safest plan is to maintain
the present basis of representation ratt-
er than increase it. Representative
