COAL ON FREE LIST
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
BILL PROVIDES FOR REBATE.
WILL EQUAL PRESENT DUTY
Measure to Go Into Effect Upon the
Passage or the Bill and to Be in
Effect for the Period of One
Year.
WASHINGTON. The ways and
means committee of the house dec ided
to leport a bill pioviding fur a rebate,
equal to the duty now imposed, on all
kinds of coal coming from all coun
tries for a period of one year.
This bill is a substitute for the one
introduced by Representative lli!l of
Connecticut, which provided for a re
bate until June 30 next. It is expected
the bill will be called up in the house
at noon.
The bill adopted provides:
"That the secretary of the treasury
Iw and is hereby authorized and re
quired to make full rebate of duties
imposed by law on coal of every form
and description imported into the
I'nlted States from foreign countries
for the period of one year from and
after the passage of this act."
Representative Richardson (Tenn.)
proposed an amendment striking out
the words "for a period of one year,"
which was voted down. He then pro
posed an amendment placing all coals
on the free list, which was likewise
voted down.
The final vote on the adoption of the
bill wan unanimous.
Representatives Payne, Dalzell and
Grcrsvenor held a conference with the
president relative to the action which
bad been taken by the corimittee.
The committee reported the bill, but
will not call it up in the house for
consideration today, as originally con
templated, the d?cisioii having been
reported to bring it up under a rule
Wednesday.
The report of the committee, sub
mitted to the house by chairman
Payne, after recommending tho pas
sage of tho bill, says:
Thi3 is an emergency measure de
manded because of the scarcity and
high price of coal resulting from the
recent prolonged strike in the anthra
cite coal mines.
Precedents for such action are found
in the Chicago fire and the fire at
Eatsport, Me., in which cases congress
gave rebates on the duties on lumber
used in rebuilding the burned districts.
Whether the legislation will increase
the importance or reduce the price of
coal is a question on which men differ,
but it is all congress can do in the
premises and will satisfy the demand
of many of our citizens. While there
is a threatened coal famine in any
part of the country, we cannot turn a
deaf ear to the cries of the people.
The committee did not consider it
best to make any changes in the tariff
on coal after the period of one year
had expired, preferring to bring in this
as a purely emergency measure and
not desiring to go into the question
of tariff revision, even upon this one
article. If any relief can come to the
people from such legislation it will
be amply secured in the period pro
vided for in the bill.
PRUSSIA RUNS FAR BEHIND.
Big Deficits for Years of 1901 and 1002
and Must Borrow for 1903.
BERLIN The Prussian diet was re
opened Tuesday. The cnancellor,
Count von Buelow, read the speech
from the throne. No mention was
made of foreign matters nor of the
canal bill. The speech took a gloomy
view of the finances of Prussia. It
?aid the accounts for 1901 closed with
a deficit of 9,373,000 marks, and add
ed that it was not anticipated that
the accounts for 1902 would be ap
preciably more satisfactory. As for
1903. a demand would have to be
made on public credit for a consider
able loan, in order to establish equili
brium between the revenue and ex
penditure, as in consequence of the
depression in agriculture, trade and in
dustry a further depreciation in the
receipts of several of the administra
tive departments would result.
Bills were announced for furthering
the Germanization of t'ae Polish prov
inces of Prussia, for their economic
development and for increasing the
salaries of officials and teachers there.
Measures to improve the administra
tion of the railroads and for the ex
tension of the state railroad system
also were proposed.
Armenians Take Strikers Places.
AMSBURY, Mass. The strike of
more than 600 employes of carriage
manufacturers for a nine-hour day
and a new wage scale carrying a slight
increase began its second week Mon
day. Five hundred strikers met at a
train bringing thirty-eight Armenians
from New York and tried to induce
the strangers to join the union or to
leave without disembarking. No vio
lence was offered. The train was
shunted into the yard of one of the
carriage factories and the Armenians I
were distributed among the factories,
where they were put to work.
Sensational Reports are Denied.
LISBON. The reports sent out
from here that reservoirs in this city
had burst, that many persons had :
been drowned and that the people
were panic-stricken are untrue. As a
matter of fact, a bursting water pipe
flooded one shop, which was damag
ed to the extent of $150. No one was
Injured.
SENATE MAY DISCUGS COAL.
Vest's Motion Likely to Displace State
hood Debate at Any Time.
WASHINGTON. The senate pro
gram for the coming week includes
the continuation of the Etatehood de
bate each day after 2 o'clock and the
discussion of the militia bill during
the morning hour. There is also a
probability of a return at any time
to the question of the scarcity of coal,
in connec tion with Senator Vest's mo
tion to abolish the tarifi on anthra
cite. Senator Nelson has not completed
his speec h on the stateho; .1 bill. In
deed, he does not even feel able to
prophecy when he will conclude it.
but when he does Senator Burnham
will be ready to proceed. The oppo
nents of the bill now make little ef
fort to conceal their intention to con
tinue the debate indefinitely with the
hope that it will be sidetracked by
the appropriation bills, which must
be pressed before long. Friends of
the bill, on the other hand, see no
necessity for making way for the ap
propriation bills at present.
It is probable that the first general
appropriation bill. that providing
funds for legislative, executive and
judicial departments of the govern
ment, will be reported during the
week, but it is doubtful whether it
will receive consideration at that
tim.
LEPER COLONY IN HAWAII.
Senate Committee Recommends Fed
eral Control of Settlement.
WASHINGTON The senate com
mittee on Porto Rico and the Pacific
coast met to receive the report of
the sub-committee appointed at the
List session of congress to investi
gate conditions in the Hawaiian Is-
The sub-committee consisted of Sen
ators Mitchell of Oregon, Burton of
Kansas, Foster of Washington, Cock
rell of Missouri and Blackburn of
Kentucky. The last two named did
not visit the islands, but Senator
Blackburn joined in the recommenda
tions, numbering twenty-six.
The visit to the islands was made
last September and covered twenty
five days, during which time forty
three meetings were held and 17G wit
nesses were interrogated.
The investigation was general and
covered all questions with which the
government could possibly be concern
ed, including the laws, local and fed
eral, and their execution; the public
lands, labor, the plantations, the har
bors, taxation, the leprosy settlement,
Queen Liliuokalani's claims and other
fcubjects.
The condition of affairs in the leper
settlement on the island of Molokai ex
cited the liveliest interest.
MAJOR THREATENED DEATH.
Filipinos Forced to Act as Guides Un
der Penalty .of Instant Death.
MANILA. Two natives, former of
ficials of Calbaygo, island of Samar,
were the only witnesses at the trial
Wednesday of Major Edwin F. Glenn.
They told of Major Glen's arrival
at Calbaygo, and said he directed the
citizens to assemble in his office.
When they appeared he read General
Smith's order and advised them to aid
the Americans in the pacification of
the island. He said this pacification
was in their hands and directed them
to go out and confer with the in
surgents. He warned the citizens that
if the insurgents failed to surrender
they would be used as guides to con
duct the American column against the
enemy.
To Utilize Corn Stalks.
E. B. Thaw of New York is in Om
aha trying to interest local capital in
the manufacture of paper from the
pith and fiber of corn stalks. The re
sults are produced by a patented de
vice which is being operated in Illi
nois successfully, it is said, by the
company which secured the rights of
the inventor. It is averred by the
company that the product of the corn
stalks can be made in imitation of
the higher grades of linen papers, as
well as taking the place of the pulp
papers which are now generally used
for newspapers and cheaper publica
tions. Samples of the paper which
have passed through the pulp mill only
are shown in support of the claim of
the company. By products from the
manufacture of paper are cellulose and
a stock food.
No Crime to Ste?.l Coal.
TOLEDO, O. The work house board
has issued an order setting at liberty
all prisoners held for stealing coal
from the railway yards and tracks.
The order includes directions to the
superintendent to receive no more
prisoners from any court sending them
in for petty coal thefts. It is said that
no prosecutions for coal thefts will be
recognized by the board during the
coal famine.
Perkins Must Resign Post.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. The ab

be asked for.
Gas Puts Fire Out at Last.
JEROME, Ariz. The mine fire thst

and finally smothering the flames.
ISSUES JJIRCULAR
MITCHELL URGES MINERS TO IN
CREASE OUTPUT
SO AS TO DECREASE SUFFERING
He Says Situation Has Reached an
Acute Stage and Has Resulted in
Great Suffering and Hardship to the
Poor.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America issued the following circu
lar letter to all local unions in tho
anthracite district:
To the Officers and Members of Local
Unions of the United Mine Workers of
America in the Anthracite Region.
Gentlemen: You are no doubt aware
that a serious coal famine exists in
inland and seaboard cities, due to the
shortage of the anthracite coal supply.
The situation has reached an acute
stage and has resulted in great suffer
ing and hardship to the poor, whose
earnings are insufficient to enable them
to pay the excessive prices now being
charged for fuel, and it is subjecting
the general public to great incon
venience. To relieve the situation and alleviato
as far as possible the situation now
being endured, is the duty of every
one connected with the production of
coal. With this end in view, we are
prompted to address this communica
tion to all members of our union and
request that they co-operate with the
management of the mines in an effort
to increase the production of coal.
The gravity of the situation is such
as to require that every mine worker
shall exert himself and use every ef
fort at his command to this end.
Upon reading this communication in
the columns of the daily papers local
unions should hold meetings and de
vise means by which the daily output
of the mines may be increased. These
efforts should be continued until the
weather moderates and the great nec
essity for fuel shall have passed.

PUSH TRUST LAWS.
President Desires to Curb the Com
bines.
WASHINGTON. President Roose
velt had a conference Wednesday with
Speaker Henderson and Representa
tive Grosvenor of Ohio with regard to
proper anti-trust legislation. The
conference lasted for a considerable
time, the situation in the house being
discussed thoroughly.
It is understood that the president
impressed upon his callers, who went
to the executive offices at his re
quest, his desire that some legislation
dealing with the trust question should
be enacted at the present session of
congress. No particular measure was
under discussion and, of course, none
was agreed upon.
"The trust question is a most dif
ficult one to handle in a legislative
way," said General Grosvenor, as he
left the executive offices, '"but I think
some measure will be enacted into
law at this session. It will be neces
sary to steer a middle course between
the desires of the radical anti-trust
people and those who profess to see
little evil in trusts' or combinations of
capital. That such a course will be
adopted by congress I have no doubt."
It is stated that at the conference
the question of bringing the subject
of trusts before the house in a formal
way at an early date was considered,
but what conclusion, if any, was
reached Is not known.
Fuel Famine on Board Ship.
QUEENSTOWN Having burned all
of her coal supply and every available
piece of wood on the ship for fuel
with which to make steam, the Le
land line steamer Mexican, in com
mand of Captain Parker, twenty-four
days out from New Orleans, bound to
London, reached this port late Mon
day to obtain a sufficient supply of
coal to enable her to reach her des
tination. Captain Parker reports that
extremely severe weather was en
countered in mid-Atlantic and that his
vessel's coal bunkers became exhaust
ed four days ago. Since that time a
quantity of timber, all the vessels
spars, her derricks and all woodwork
which could be spared was burned.
Dead Man Drives Train.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Passengers on
an incoming Knoxville & Ohio railroad
train rode several miles with the hand
of a corpse at the throttle of the en
gine. The train left Buckeye, Teen., on
time, and ran through Careyville, the
next station. This aroused the fire
man's suspicions, who stepped to the
engineer's side of the engine.
There was a wound on the left side
of the engineer's head and the sup-'
position is that a piece o stone fell
from the side of a high cut through
the mountain and killed him instant
ly. The train ran perhaps eight miles
after he was killed.

NEBRASKA
CHADRON HAS THE OIL CRAZE,
Two Hundred and Fifty Claims Al
ready Filed.
CHADRON. Neb. The oil field ex
citement continues and the county
clerk's office is daily thronged with
men and women eaer to get an ap
plication certificate fiL-d for a placer
mining oil claim.
Certificates have been filed with the
county clerk for about 250 oil mining
claims and at the present rate JO.ooo
acres of land will have been filed on
for this purpose before the end of the
week.
Hud Mead, now manager of a new
company known as the Guatemala Oi
Mining company, with Ed Satterlee
J. Brogheimer, W. H. McCann and
other substantial Chadron business
men in the company, are locating
group after group of claims and mak

LAWYER BECKETT FROZEN.
Milkman Finds Body in Road West
of Benson.
W. D. Beckett, a well known local
attorney of Omaha, was found shortly
after noon Sunday frozen stiff and
lying in a snow bank two miles west
of Benson and a mile and a half
south.
Henry Rapp, a milkman living sev
eral miles west of Benson, was driv
ing home after having completed his
morning delivery when he discovered
the body lying face downward by the
side of the road not far from the
Little Papio creek and the Missouri
Pacific railroad track. He at once
reported the discovery to the coroner
and the body was taken in the am
bulance to Coroner Brailey's under
taking rooms.
The last seen of Mr. Breckett was
by his nephew, Mr. Woodrough, in
this city about 1:30 in the morning.
He left his nephew with the supposed
intention of returning to his apart
ments at the Her Grand hotel, where
he has been living for the past few
weeks. He did not go to the hotel,
however, and probably walked all the
distance to Benson, as it is said he
often had been in the habit of taking
long journeys on foot.
He formerly lived at Benson and
was earlier in the evening at a hotel
there. At the hotel an attempt was
made to prevent him from going out
and he was given a room where it
was supposed he would remain dur
ing the night. He slipped out un
noticed and came to Omaha, where
he met and talked with a number of
people.
Babe Swallows Arsenic.
LINCOLN, Neb. The 18-months-old
baby of M. F. Perry accidentally swal
lowed a number of arsenic pills about
6 o'clock Monday evening and died
two hours later in terrible agony. The
child was playing on the floor where
the pills had been accidentally drop
ped, and, baby fashion, found and put
some of them in its mouth. It was at
a time when the physicians of the city
were going home and considerable dif
ficulty was had in getting medical as
sistance. This is the third case of
the kind which has occurred here this
year.
Incorporation Papers Filed.
LINCOLN, Nob. The Shiverick Fur
niture company of Omaha filed amend
ed articles of incorporation in the of
fice of the secretary of state, changing
its name to the "Baker Furniture
company." Articles of Incorporation
have been filed by the Ord Telephone
company, having its principal office
at Ord, Neb. The capital stock is $10,
000. The incorporators are F. J. Bell,
S. E. Bell, Horace M. Davis and J. D.
Laverty.
Convict Dies of Consumption.
LINCOLN, Neb. Frank Clark, a
convict, died of consumption at the
penitentiary Monday, and the authori
ties are seeking to establish his iden
tity, or discover who are his next of

and was sent up from Douglas county
for burglary almost five years ago. It
Is thought that the name under which
he was commuted is an alias. Should
no one be found to claim the body ic
will be buried in the potter's field.

He is under the c are of a physic-Ian.
The school house at Wolbach has
been destroyed by fire. The fire was
of unknown origin. The insurance pol
icy of $750 expired about thirty clays
ago, and consequently the building is
a total loss to the district.
The only coal in Sidney is a few
cars in the Union Pacific yards. There
is not an ounce in the yards of any
of the dealers. The situation is be
coming desperate, and the coal in the
railroad yards will be "seized unless
there is speedy relief from some cith
er source.
Mr. Baggee, a Swede farmer CT, years
old, living thirteen miles north west

about a quarter of a mile, and dl'
soon after.
The damages from the heavy wind
at Fremont are much greater than at
first reported. A great many wind
mills were put out of use, and prob
ably as many more blown clown or
broken. In Saunders county, south of
the Platte, twenty-six mills were de
molished. A list of improvements made in
Ashland and vicinity during 1902 has
just been compiled. It shows over
$70,000 expended by Ashland citizens
for new houses, barns, additions to
residences and buildings of similar de
sign. The largest item is Railsback
Bros.' elevator, costing $25,000.
Beatrice volunteer hose company

sistant; A. P. Sage, treasurer.
The cattle stealing case against
'Fcur-Spot" Hurlburt was dismissed
after the evidence disclosed the fact
that the brand of the complaining
witness was not recorded with the
state brand commission. Mrs. Haynes,
a well known ranchwoman southwest
of Alliance, was the complaining wit
ness. At a meeting of sugar beet grow
ers in Hershey, Mr. Leavitt of the
Standard Beet Sugar company of Ames
stated he would erect at that place a
modern factory if 5,000 acres of beets
could be raised, and that he would
erect and maintain a testing and
weighing station this year for 500
acres. The prospects for a factory
there in 1904 are good.
Several bad cases of cattle being poi
soned by eating hay which contained
