DR.. ALDEN STAYS At HOME
HOSPITAL SUPERINTENDENT RE.
FUSES TO GO TO LINCOLN.
DR.. sALTER is APPolNTED7

Has Offered the Position OF Super.
intendent to Or. p, n. Salter OF Nor.
folk--Dr. Nicholson in Lincoln.
DR.. Alden, superintendent of the in.
sane hospital here, did not go to Lin.
coin today to confer with Governor
Mickey, as had been requested by the
governor Dr Nicholson, the assist.
ant superintendent left yesterday at
noon to be present today at . o'clock,
the hour set by the governor.
1t is believed that Governor Mickey
will still insist on the designations of
the two officials He states that he
summoned them to Lincoln in order to
question them in regard to Attendant
Byerly, for one thing, and in regard to
a recent letter that has been written
by DR.. Nicholson, for another. The
governor says that he has information
that Byerly was discharged for cruelty
from the Hastings asylum II is said
that DR.. Ncholson's letter states that
they ought to have been, since the in.
vestigation.
Has Named Dr. Salter2
Lincoln report says that Dr. p. H.
Salter of Norfolk has been offered the
position of superintendent by Govern.
or Mickey. The report is believed to
be true, for several reasons.
When Governor Mickey was In Nor
folk he made the statement that he
was sorry he had not appointed Dr.
Salter instead of Dr. Hay as superin-
tendent 1t is believed that Dr. Hays
declination of the position was brought
about for the purpose of Offering the
place to DR.. Salter.
When asked today in regard to the
report, DR.. Salter would neither con-
firm nor deny the story that he has
been offered the position, and he de-
clined to say whether, if he were of
fered the place, he would accept it.
Governor Mickey late yesterday
said over the telephone to The News
that he does not yet know what action
he will take in regard to the disposi-
ton of the insane hospital affair here.
DR.. Nicholson and Steward Peters
both went to Lincoln to appear at 2
o'clock, as summoned by the govern.
or.
What action will you take?" was
asked.
81 don't know" said the governor.
Have you selected a successor to
DR.. Alden as yet"
81 have not discharged Dr. Alden
as yet"
"Will you decide what you will do,
this afternoon?"
Il can't say. | am acting very care
fully in this matter"
1t is believed that the governor will,
without doubt, insist on the resigna-
tions of both physicians. 1t is thought
that DR.. Nicholson will resign without
fight to retain the office, but it is
said in a Lincoln report that it is ex-
pected DR.. Alden will carry the matter
into the supreme court, and that the
governor will adopt heroic measures
to oust DR.. Alden.

BUFFALO.-Former President Gro
yer Cleveland, in a letter to the Erie
County Bar association and the Law
yers' club of Buffalo, declining an in
vitation to deliver an address at their
annual banquet, states that the con-
dition of his health and contemplated
southern trip in the near future would
prevent a visit to this city.
The letter, in part, follows:
at is with extreme regret that
am obliged to say that it will be i'm
possible for me to avail myself of the
kindly invitation of my old friends of
the Buffalo bar. / am contemplating
an absence from home in the near fu-
ture on a southern trip, which is some
what enforced on account of my
health, and it certainly will extend
beyond the present month"

GRAIN MEN ENJoINED.
Supreme Court Upholds Contentious
Of State in the Trust Case.

LINCOLN-The grain case" has
been won by the state. The supreme
court overruled the demurrer of the
allied attorneys of the grain dealers
and made perpetual the temporary re.
straining order to prevent them from
combining, secured by Attorney Gen
eral Brown some months ago.
The opinion was written by Judge
Letton and he upheld all of the anti
trust laws, including the Junkin act
now upon the statutes. The court re
viewed at length the arguments by the
attorney general and by the attorneys
for the grain men; then held with the
legal department that each act is a
part of the system and one is supple.
mental to the other. The court holds
also that repeating law by implica-
ton will not hold, but that the latter
law is merely supplemental to the first,
repeating only those sections which it
covers.

20 pour into the department Of state
from diplomatic and consular agents
in China regarding the rapid increase
of feeling against Americans and
things American, as expressed in
odicts issued by local authorities in
various parts of the empire For six
months the situation in China has been
the subject Of very great concern to
the department and Mr.. Rockhill, the
American minister at Pekin, is under
instructions to keep Washington thor
oughly and frequently informed OF the
situation. He Is also eXerting himself
at the Chinese capital in an effort to
check or allay the anti-American feel
ing that appears to be growing While
not admitted that the situation Is one
of immediate danger, the officials here
will not be at all surprised at any de-
velopments a month may bring forth.

a return to the provision of the orig
inal exclusion treaty of 1880, which
excluded from this country Chinese Ia

have been issued declaring that If the
boycott is rigidly adhered to America
will be forced to forego any exclusion
at all. Such expressions have been

Although directed primarily against
Americans the feeling of illwill that
seems to be growing in various parts

In a word. it Is declared to be anti
foreign and there are indications that
all foreigners. with the possible eXcep-
ton of the Japanese, will be soon as
keenly affected as are Americans.
Informal representations regarding
the Chinese situation already have
been exchanged between some of the
European powers, but thus far this
country has not called foreign nations
into consultation because there is a
very general feeling among the Euro
pean powers that the Chinese are I'M
justly Disseminated against by the
American government and so long as
the anti-foreign feeling is confined to
Americans the Europeans are expected
to bide their time.
The dispatch from Pekin published
today regarding the activity of Russia
in Mongolia has been taken note of by
the officials here.

a CHANGE COMING.
Rural Free Delivery headquarters Re-
movsl.


WASH1NGTON--As has been antic-
ipated the rural free delivery division
headquarters at Omaha is marked for
a change in July, the beginning Of the
next fiscal year. Ever since the
change made in transferring the ru-
raj free delivery service from the
fourth assistant postmaster general to
TO the first assistant postmaster gem
cral and placing all general agents
under the inspector in charge there
has been more or less inquiry as to
where the division agents would land.
In the transfer of division headquar-
ters in the creation of the Omaha diyi-
sion there was considerable criticism
on account of Omaha succeeding over
Kansas City. Postmaster General
Cortelyou found that in the transfer he
was saving the government some
money in locating the division head
quarters at Omaha Now the new
change is to be made and the division
headquarters will terminate in July,
according to the following letter which
Senator Willard received from Post
master General Cortclyou
Referring to your letter Of recent
date, making inquiry as to discontln.
uance of division headquarters, rural
free delivery service at Oamha, have
to say that on December 1, by the re.
organization of the department, rural
agents were assigned to the division
of inspectors, and It Is the intention
to consolidate the two forces at an
early date. After July / next it Is eX-
pected that all of the rural agents will
become postofIice inspectors and will
report directly to the inspectors in
charge Of the divisions. This will not
make any difference in the number OF
agents assigned TO each estate or the
manner of handling the work. The
postofIice inspectors who now work in
the state of Nebraska will report to
the inspector in charge at Kansas
City. The consolidation of the Omaha
headquarters with that of Kansas City
will be in the interest of economy, and
as the division headquarters is con-
nected with the field service largely by
use Of the mails the location of the
| headquarters can make but little diff
| ference. In the new arrangement
there will be as many rural agents as
signed to the state of Nebraska as at
the present and the work will be han
died just as well.

A VICTIM OF THE
STEAMER VALENCIA

MANCHESTER, Ia.-George. B. Har-
per of Hopllinton fears y that his
brother, w II. Harper, went down in
the wreck of the steamer Valencia off
Vancouver. Harper was fireman on
the vessel and all efforts of his rela-
tives to ascertain whether or not he
was among the doomed members of
the crew have proved futile. Harper
left Hopkinton for the west about
eighteen years ago, and for the last
few years has been engaged as fireman
for the steamship company who owned
the Valencia. No response has yet
been received to the kilograms sent
to the company's Office at San Fran
cisco.

GOVERNMENT DEFICIT
BEING WIPED OUT

WASHINGTON-The monthly state
ment of the government receipts and
expenditures shows a condition of the
treasury which Is eminently satisfac-
tory to the officials. One year ago
there was a deficit of over $2S5OO,000,
which has now been reduced to less
than $3,400,0OO, with the prospect that
this amount will be entirely wiped out
within the next thirty days. This
Improved condition is due almost en-
tirely to large increases in customs
ard internal revenue receipts.

another physician. Still he grew
worse. At the end of about a year
and half of suffering he grew so bad

night to keep him from scratching the
sores and tearing the flesh. He got to
be a mere skeleton, and was hardly
