Ill THE PENITENTIARY FOR LIFE Defendant Takes Verdict Coolly Re manded to the Custody of the Sher iff and Now Occupies Woman's Cell in Butler County Jail. DAVID CITY, Neb. "We. the jury In the above entitled case, being duly impaneled and sworn, do find the de fendant guilty of murder in the first decree and recommend that she be imprisoned for liTe. (Signed.) "A. C. POOLE, "Foreman.' This was the verdict rendered by the jury in the Lillie murder case at precisely 3 o'chK-k Tuesday. As soon as the jury had agreed uon their ver dict the news spread rapidly and in a few moments people were seen run ning from all directions toward the court house and before the defend ant arrived the large district court room was completely packed with hu manity. A large portion of the crowd was men, not to exceed twenty wo men being present. Each person as they entered the court .room door wore an anxious look and loudly whis pered, "What is the verdict?" Mrs. Lillie, accompanied by her father, brother. Mrs. Orisinger. her Bister, and Sam Lillie, brother of the murdered man, arrived at 3:23. They all took their usual seats in the court room. While Mrs. Lillie looked bright and pleasant she had the appearance of anxiety as to what the verdict of the twelve men was. As they, march ed in she looked at each one very care fully.

A SHORT SESSION. What Congress Has Done During the Past Three Months. WASHINGTON. Three or four years ago the correspondent of a great metropolitan daily newspaper receiv ed a dispatch from his managing ed itor which read: "When is congress likely to adjourn? Rush answer." There are a great many people in this country, including the managinr editors of imjortant newspapers, who do not know or fail to remember that under the law the final session of ev ery congress must adjourn siuo die at the close of the legislative day of March 3. This means, invari:. bly, at noon or. March 4 of each oi: I num bered year. The final session of the Fifty-seventh congress will adjourn on Wednesday next at noon. It will have left a vast mass of bills, probably up wards of 10,000, unacted upon at that time, but the short session will never theless be notable for the great amount of legislative work accomplished dur ing the last three months. Because there are a few days more still re maining in which bills may be rushed through one or both houses, it is im possible at this time to say accurate ly just what has been accomplished. But the short session of this expir ing congress has enacted no less than four laws directly aimed at trusts, which have been the prime objects of attacks for several years past. The first of the four has for its purpose the ) expedition of the hearing and deter mination of suits in equity now pend ing or which may be brought in the future under any laws now -in force, or that hereafter may be enacted, upon the certificate of the attorney general that the case is of general public im portance. The second act directly re lated to anti-trust legislation is a clause in the general deficiency bill authorizing the president to appoint an assistant attorney general at a sal ary of $7,000 and another at $5,000 a year, and also authorizing the attor ney general to appoint two confidential clerks without reference to the civil service commission at salaries of $1, G00 a year each. These new officials are directed to perform such tasks as may be assigned to them by the at torney general, and it is of course un derstood that their duties shall con sist mainly in looking especially after the enforcement of anti-trust laws. Volcano Caused a Panic. COLIMA, Mexico There has been no panic here over the eruption of the volcano, which in reality was slight. No ashes fell in this city, and the principal damage done was the burn ing of som? brush by the lava. As regards this city reports have been unduly exaggerated. Plague Record at Mazatlan. MAZATLAN, Mexico The number of deaths here in February was 107, of which fifty were from bubonic plague. From January 1 to March 1 there were burned by the sanitary au thorities 291 houses of a cheap class, for which the owners were paid $73,- 000. Alaskan Treaty Ratified. WASHINGTON Secretary.

Little Accomplished in Face of Oppo sition of Democrats. WASHINGTON The house of rep resentatives held a four hours' ses sion Sunday and put the District of Columbia appropriation through its last parliamentary stage, in the face of the democratic filibuster. The pre vious question on the report of the Alaska homestead bill was ordered, and the vote on its adoption will be taken when the house reconvenes at 11 o'clock Monday. That was the net result of the Sunday session. Al though it was Sunday by the calen dar, it was still Thursday, February 26, according to parliamentary fic tion. The democrats put a block in the legislative wheel at every oppor tunity and it required six roll calls to accomplish what was done Sunday. Large crowds watched the proceedings from the galleries. Proposed Gold Standard. LONDON. The Times correspond ent at Shanghai telegraphs that th special commission of tae national in dustrial exhibition at Asal a, Japan, headed by Prince Tsai Cner has been odered to incuire into and re port upon questions of establishment of a gold standard in China on the Japanese model. The proposal Is re garded as merely a temporizing expe dition, adds the correspondent, and a pretext for inaction in the indemnity question. Jeffries and Corbett to Fight. NEW YORK. James J. Jeffries and James J. Corbett met and agreed to fight twenty rounds next July before the club that will give them $23,000 or the largest purse that may be of fered above this sum, the winner to take 75 per cent and the loser 25.

SENATE IS CALLED PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SUM MONS A SPECIAL SESSION. fO CONVENE ON THURSDAY Upper House to Report on Day Follow ing Adjournment To Settle Canal and Cuban Treaties Senators Re quired to Make Up for Statehood Debate. WASHINGTON. Tho president on Monday issued the following proclama tion: "By the President of the United States of America: A Proclamation. "Whereas, Public interests require that the senate should convene in ex traordinary session therefore, I, Theo dore Roosevelt, president of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim and declare that an extra ordinary occasion, requires the senate of the United States to convene at the capitol, in the city of Washington, on the 5th day of March next, at 1! o'clock noon, of all which persons who shall at that time be entitled to act as members of that body are hereby required to take notice. "Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at Washington, the 2d of March, in the year of our Lord, 1903, and of the independence of the United States, the 127th. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." By the president, JOHN HAY, Secretary of State. Such a proclamation has been ex pected for some days, as it was known that the administration was determin ed to leave no stone unturned to se cure the ratification of the Cuban and canal treaties. Only one protest has so far been filed with the starte department by European powers against the ratifica tion of the Cuban treaty. At the same time, polite, but pointed, in quiries have supplemented the note filed by the British ambassador, from France and other European beet sugar producing countries. In advance of the consummation of the treaty of course no open threat could Ie made, but events are shaping themselves so as to warrant the ex pectation by the officials here that Eu rope will retaliate against what it calls the unjust discrimination against European goods. It is now known that the inquiries referred to have not been confined to Washington, but also have been direct ed to President Palma and have add ed much to the difficulty he is under in securing favorable action in the Cuban congress.

The Kansas congressional delegation in Washington will lay the matter before the president this week. Divinity of the Savior. PRINCETON, N. J. President F. L. Pal ton of the Theological seminary delivered a sermon before the stu dents of theology on "The Person of Christ." The sermon was evidently suggested by the recent discussion of the views of Prof. Delitzsch of Berlin concerning the divinity of the Savior. Dr. Patton said that while the theory of evolution might not be considered inconsistent with belief in the incarna tion of Christ, it would not establish the fact of the incarnation, and that while Revelation gave us a belief in God it was only through Jesus Christ- that he could be revealed as a God of love.

It adopts methods of sending to conference general bills with senate amendments which has been pursued with reference to appropriation bills, thus cutting oft general rolls calls and by a further provision cuts out the demand for the previous question on conference reports, thus eliminat ing a roll call on each report.

B. 12199) to regulate the immigration of aliens into the United States, now on the speaker s table, and the senate amendments thereto having been read, the question shall be at once taken without debate or intervening motion following question, will the house disagree to tho senate amend ments en bloc and ask a conference with the senate? And if this motion shall be decided in the affirmative, the speaker shall at once appoint con ferees without intervention of any motion. If the house shall decide the motion In the negative, the effect of said vote shall be to agree to said amendments and, further, that for the remainder of this session, whenever conference report shall have been presented and read, there shall be ten minutes of de bate, and at the end of that time the previous question shall be considered as ordered on agreeing to said re port. FOUR NEW BATTLESHIPS. Naval Appropriation Bill Provides for Building. WASHINGTON. Senator Hale, from the committee on naval affairs, report ed the naval appropriation bill.
