A CHA8II AT DKNVKR.

DI:.N VKIS, CoL, Feb. G.—Attaclimeuts have been filod against tho Western Farm Mortgage Trust Company and an application for a receiver will be made to-day. The attachments were for small amcunts, the largest being for 81,0(10, yet the company could not pay. It is said that arrests of directors and officers are not improbable.

Owe# Nearly •1,000,000.

The company was organized in Lawrence, Kan., and afterward reincorporated in Denver. New York creditor.' arc represented here and will file attachments against securities representing 8900,000 to-day. The company is capitalized ostensibly at 88,000,000, and, it is said, lias been doing a business of 810,000,000 a year, principally with other people's money.

How It Did Business.

The company's methods was to lend money at a high tjfce and take a mortgage to secure payment This mortgage was sold at a premium to eastern investors, the company collecting the interests. Tho money paid by purchasers was reinvested until the business reached an enormous aggregate. The farmers were unable to pay the high interest, and the company, to maintain its standing, advanced tlie interest to tho purchasers. It drew on tho Third national bank of NewYork city until all its funds were exhausted.

Creditors PresHed Too Hard. Then the press of creditors became too great to bo withstood. When the directors saw that the crash was coming they formed tho American Ileal Estate Investment Company, to which. It is alleged, the stock of the trust company has been turned over.

The losses of eastern purchasers it if believed will aggregate hundreds oi thousands, as tho securities they can attach are considered very poor.

ORANGE CROP A FAILURE.

Many Southern California 'Grow*™ I'rar* tlcally Bankrupted. RIVRUSIPB, C%1., Feb. 0.—The orauge crop is now being gathered nnd the outlook for most of the growers is disheartening. The season's yield was largely spoiled by the severe frost and liy the electric windstorm on December 17. It is safe to say that at least two-thirds of the oranges on the trees are unmarketable and many are unlit to eat The loss is a hard one to all the iutercsts of southern California. Many orchard owners are practically bankrupt, for many deponded entirely on the unusually promising crop to make payments on their lands. Even tho real estate men find that they have a hard thing to explain away in the case of prospective purchasers, and by no means the smallest trial is upon the largo body of laborers and fruit, handlers, whe relied on work at orange picking and packing to lielp them through the winter, when all other kinds of fruit work are suspended. The railroads are heavy losers also, for instead of 5,000 carloads of fruit that would liavo been sent there will probably not be more than 1,000 carloads.

HOUSE I'llOCKKDIMlS.

AMIINOTON. Feb. (1.—Tlie census bureau, its management nnd the extent to which it has been subordinated to political ends, were the subject of spirited discii-sion for two liom-s in the house 1'riday. While the discussion in a general way was upon party lines, tho superintendent of the census was not without supporters on the democratic side, Representative Stone (Ky.) being among the warmest champions of Mr. Porter's efficiency and ollieiul zeal.

Census llurenu KxtravnKanee. The house went into committee of the whole. Mr. Richardson (Tenn.) in the chair, on the ceusus deficiency bill. Mr. Suyers (Tex.), In charge of the bill, made an explanation as to its provisions, and brought a charge of extravagance against the administration of the census bureau. He saitl that hundreds of men and women who never ought to have been employed had been employed in that oflice nt the instance of members of congress. Had the superintendent of the census been left to operate his bureau without pressure from tho outside to put in olliee a large number of incompetent persons the expenditures would have been verv much less.

Mr. Henderson (Ia.1 —"Do you refer to the number or the quality?" :. Mr Savers—"To both."

Wants an Investigation.

Mr. Henderson inquired whether the gentleman had ar.y evidence to justify Irs statement.

Mr. Sayers insisted that litf had that evidence had come to him from outside soure-'s. It lia'l been stated to him that tin1 salaries of incompetent persons had lccn largely increased. There had been a useless expenditure of public money.

Mr. Henderson contended that the oflice had been economically administered and asked Mr. Sayers to bear liiin out in this contention.

This Mr. Sayers declined to do. asserting that from the infoimillion he had received he could not indorse the declaration. Many of tiie employes who were, drawing a salary of 8100 a mouth were unable to discharge their duties. He believed that a committee should be appointed to investigate the administration of the oRiee. Sueli an investigation would justify him in his statement as to the extravagance of the bureau.

Diii( loy Defends Porter.

I Mr. Dingley (Me.) regretted that the gentleman from Texas had made charges against the superintendent of census that had never been made before the committee on appropriations,

It seemed to him that ouch charges made by the gentleman from anonynious sources should have been brought. to the attention of the committee. He was sure that had this been done the minority of the committee would have insisted that an investigation be made. He believed that the superintendent had faithfully performed the duty that had been intrusted to him. If the expenditure of the census bureau had been increased this was due to the fact that congress had imposed upon it the new and unheard-of dntv of inquiring into the private business of citizens and compelled them to disclose the amounts of their farm mortgages.

Charge* of Dishonesty.

Mr. Dungan (O.) opposed an appropriation for the census bureau until the charges made against it had been answered satisfactorily. It had been said that tons and tons of statistics had been destroyed after compilation and that a lot of punching machines (the invention of a relative) which could be purchased for 810 had been employed at a royalty of S3.

Mr. Cooper (Ind.) criticised the census oflice on the ground that it had discriminated against certain limestone industries of Indiana in favor of others. In taking the census great dishonesty had been committed as far as the limestone workings were concerned.

For (lie Sioux lixllniin.

Mr. Sayers offered an amendment appropriating 8115,514 for the subsistence of the Sioux Indians and calling upon the secretary of the interior to report to the house the names of all employes under the direction and supervision of the Indian bureau.

The latter clause of this amendment was the first general legislation to be incorporated upon an appropriation bill, but no objection being made the amendment was adopted. The committee having risen the bill was passed.

Tho private calendar was then taken up for consideration, but no progress was made, and the house adjourned until 12:45 to-day, when eulogies will be delivered upon the late Representative Lee, of Virginia.

To Help the Farmer.

During the earlier part of the session Mr. Fithian (111.) offered a resolution instructing the ways and means committee to report a bill for the admission of all agricultural implements free of duty.

1118 STATEMENT. 1

OMAIIA, Neb., Feb. 0.—Gov. Thayer has at last marie public liis position iu the g-uberuatorial situation. Kveninhis li*s. moments he refuses to deal with Gov. Koyri. Friday night he called the correspondents together and presented each of them with a type-written, self- I prepared interview. Jn regard to the governorship he says:

AuxiouH to Surrender.

"My attorneys arc waiting to get the full text of the decision of the supreme court at Wuwhingtoii. As yet they do not know what it does really contnlu becnusoof the conllictln^ reports. If anyone supposes that I am holding on to the oflice of governor for the sake of the ofilec or that 1 lmve the slightm desiro to do so that iN2rson*In most wofully mistaken. I am anxious to surrender the oftlue, hut I do not I propose to act precipitately nnd without full knowledge of what the decision does really mean. The clerk of the United States siiprcnie court wired Mr. Webster that the decision of tho supreme court of Nebraska was reversed and remanded for I further proceedings. This certainly means thai something further is to be doue tx^fore I can surrender this oftiee. It seems now that ouly four judges sustain the opinio* that the enabling act made Gov. Hoyd a citizen. This is a minority opinion.

Douhtfl IIU Itlght to Yield.

"There isranothcr feature in this case. Tho query arises: Ami Justitled iu turning the of-| lice over to Gov. Boyd? The question is ns toniy rlpht to turn the cilice over IO any person until I thedecisionof the Nebraska supreme court plac- I ing me In the ortlce of governor i* reversed by tho sauie court, because* as quoted above, the su« preme court remands the case here for a revernal of its judgment and further proceedings. I It is the opinion of the best legal lights here that 1 have no right to thus disJKISO of this ofttco. This is not a personal matter between myself and Gov. Boyd. I am holding the nfltee of governor in behalf of the people of Nebraska and not for myself. My attorneys, Messrs. Webster, Blair aud Lambertson, are giving these questions tho most thorough consideration, and 1 shall act in accordance with their advice. No thrents or abuse will detor me from my course.

Going to Texnn.

"I shall not run from any duty or from any controversy. assure the people that nothing would now please me more than to be relieved of the cures and duties of tho ofllci*. I will leave on Monday for Texas, when* there are. important, interest?, awaiting my attention. I would not give up this Texas enterprise if I could have tlu' governorship of Nebraska insured to me for all time, as much as 1 prize the honor of the position. Ueut.Gov. Majors will assume ihe governorship in my absence. If he desires to turn It over to lioyrt, that relieves me of any further responsibility. I have doue my duty."

WILL BE COLUMBIANS FAIR. National C'onunlsHloners to AsIc Congress for I

KIXU.

CHICAGO, Feb. O.-'-lt is now practically settled that the Chicago world's fair directory will not ask congress to give them a dollar in uiri of the Columbian exposition. The proposition to go before congress nnd solicit a loan of So,000,000 and the movement to have Uncle Sam invest, in ?5,000.000 of world's fair stock will be both abandoned and in their stead a bill will bo. brought, forward by the national commission asking congress to appropriate about $4,000,000 to be expended by the national commissioners appointed by the president.

If this appropriation is secured, no part of the $4,000,000 will be spent on the grounds and buildings of tho exposition. The entire sum will be paid out. for administrative purposes on the lines laid down by the law of congress creating the exposition. (Jc-n. .1. \V. St. Clair, of West Virginia, and his associates on the committee of federal legislation of the national board outlined the plan of campaign and it is as good as settled that th^ local directors will indorse (Jen. St. Clair's action. President Baker stands alone in opposing the new plan.
