Nebraska Men at Washington.

Washington, Dec. 16.-H. l.. Keefe
of Walthill and John Cannon of Pen
der, representing society of white
persons interested in the Omaha In
dams, arrived in Washington for the
purpose of advising with the Indian
Office as to the Indians competent to
receive deeds for their lands in the
Omaha reservation. Some time ago
the department of the interior decided
to issue deeds to those Indians who
give evidence of fitness to conduct
their own affairs, and as result much
speculation has been INDUCED in as
to whom the commissioner of Indian
affairs would hold qualified to receive
patents in fee. Just as soon as these
deeds are delivered the lands become
taxable, and it is for the purpose of
giving the benefit of their knowledge
of the situation that Messrs. Keefe
and Cannon are in Washington.
The secretary of the interior has
denied a motion for the review of the
departments decision in the case OF
Grant Ash against Elijah Mcclure, in
volving tract of land located in the
O'Neill land district, Nebraska.

Nebraska and Insurgency.

Washington Post: Nebraska is not
an insurgent state in the sense that
Iowa, Kansas and Wisconsin are" said
Victor Rosewater, owner of the Oma-
ha Bee, at the New willard, "yet the
three republican members were
against Cannon and the rules. They
voted for the tariff because they be-
lieved it was the best bill they could
get. And so, while there Is strong
insurgent movement in Nebraska, II
will not go to the extent among the
voters that the republicans will join
hands with the democrats. The latter
tried in the last campaign to profit by
the differences in the republican party
and sent out circulars urging the vot
ers to affiliate with the democratic
party. Undoubtedly this had its eff
feet, and perhaps it made a differ
ence of 5000 votes in favor of the
democrats, but the republicans viii
not overstep the line that divides re
publicanism from democracy.

SENATE HEARS GAMBLERS.
Committee Is Given Dramatic Story
by Former Race Track Man.

Washington, Dec. 16.-With a sup
porting cast of reformers galore, both
male and female, Henry Brolaski of
Monrovia, Calf, who protested to be
a gambler upon race tracks, was the
star feature of a hearing before the
senate judiciary committee, in sup
port of the Burkett bill to prohibit the
transmission of race track betting or
ders over the telegraph or telephone
lines. He told that the public is mulct-
ed by bookmakers at race tracks, by
pool rooms and by hand bookmakers,
his testimony being made in aid of
the movement to put an end to race
track gambling. Mr.. Brolaski is most
candid in his pictures and gave details
of the gambling and showed how the
performance of returns for money is
given by gamblers. He was one OF
the owners of Mexican track which
was regarded as the basis of gambling
operations in the United States and
put out of business at the instance OF
the department of state through co
operation with the Mexican govern
ment. He is now seeking to have
tracks in which he has no interest
dealt with in like manner.
