Captain McNamara, the attorney who defended Walker daring the trial, appeared to plead his case with the governor, lie read a large number of petitions from citizens of Dawson county for execu tive clemency, and followed these with quite a number from Kentucky. Cap tain McNamara said that these last were in the nature of new light on Walker's case. While the Nebraska petitioners were unanimous in the opinion that Walker was hopelessly in sane, afld was so at the time ' of the murder ami trial, the Kentucky peti tions were from parties who had known Walker in his youth and early man hood. They were all to the effect that at that period the condemned man never evinced the least symptoms of in sanity. He was regarded as a quiet, sociable, even-tempered man, and one who gave every promise of becoming a most useful and exemplary citizen. The Nebraska petitioners held that the prisoner was always morose, vindictive and positively dangerous. The gover nor will give his decision in the case at an early day. Nebraska Club Incorporated.

THE HOUSE AGAIN PASSES THE AR IZONA LEASE BILL ABOUT SCHOOL LANDS The Vte Was SOO to 38 Mr. Dendmoa Reports tnm Measure to Abolish , tha Feo System - as Regards United States Attorneys and Mar shals The Bill's Mala Provisions. Washington, March 2. The Sen ate amendments to the army appro priation bills were non-concurred in by the House to-day and the bill was sent to conference. Mr. Lacey, chairman of the public lands committee, called up the bill to lease certain lands in Arizona for school purposes, which was vetoed yesterday by the President, and moved that it be passed over the veto. Mr. Lacey, in support of his motion, said that the house was confronted with the constitutional interference of the president on a bill that had passed both houses unanimous'. Mr. Lacey explained that the bill was identical with that authorizing Oklahoma to lease her educational lands for school purposes, which had been prepared and passed by the last Congress at the request of the Secre tary of the Interior and the commis sioner of the general land office. As a result of the Oklahoma bills. $88,000 had been realized in that territory last year, while under the former system S4c,otM) had been obtained. Was it implied now, he asked, that the governor of Arizona was not as competent to lease these lands as the Secretary of the Interior, 1,800 miles away. Both were Mr. Cleve land's appointees. The veto message had called attention to the opposition of "influential citizens" in Arizona. Naturally such opposition would exist. The cattle barons in Oklahoma had protested, yet the law in that terri-torj- had worked admirably. Some of these lands were now occupied without authority and without rental. The President, Mr. Lacey said, had un doubtedly been deceived. He had been influenced by men who had, per haps, been influenced by others inter ested in obtaining the use of these lands free of charge. . Mr. Murphy, the Arizona delegate, made the positive statement that the bill had the approval of the secretary of the interior and the commissioner of the general land office, and that their opinions in writing had been laid before the President while he was considering the bill. Notwithstand ing this statement, Mr. Turner of Georgia thought it could be assumed safely that the President had had the advice of the secretary of the interior and that the latter probably had in spired the veto. One of the principal objections raised by the President was that the lands, if leased by the local authorities of the Territory, could be denuded of their timber, as by the terms of the bill it was not - necessary to submit the leases for the approval of the secretary. The vote resulted 2k) to 3S, more than two-thirds having voted in the affirmative, the bill was declared passed over the President's veto. The announcement was greeted with scattering applause by the Re publican side. Mr. Henderson, Republican, of Iowa, from the committee on rules, then presented a special order, offer ing the Updegraffe bill to abolish the fee sj-stem in the case of United States attorne3s and marshals as an amend ment to the legislative appropriation bill. The bill provides that the f-e system is to be abolished after June 30 of this year and the fees collected to be turned into the treasuiy Annual salaries are to be paid the United States dis- trier attorneys ana marshals in these districts as folllows: In the district of Kansas. S4,000; in the West tern district of Missouri, each SM'OO; in Oklahoma each S'-.O'JO. Assistant district attorneys', to be appointed by the attorney geueral, are to receive not over 2,500. Not to exceed 4 per day for expenses in addition to actual traveling expenses, is to be allowed attorneys and assistants. X RAYS IN SURGERY. A Chicago Case in Which the New Light Kevealed Hidden Disease. Chicago, March 2. A surgical op eration was performed at Mercy hos pital yesterday, by Professor Christian Fenger, which was suggested by the nse of the Roentgen ray and which led to an important discovery. The oper ation is based on a shadowgraph taken by means of the X rays showing the presence of malignant diseases in the interior of bones hitherto unknown to medical science. A Mrs. Swanson complained of a pain in the bone of the right thigh. Shadowgraphs of the woman's thigh were taken. the ray passing through the hollow in the thigh bone contain ing the marrow. It showed a portion of the bone midway between the knee and the hip joint two inches long and an inch wide was entirely gone and its place was tilled by a spongy growth. The operation showed that sarcoma had attacked the thigh bone in its in terior. This is the first known in stance of the use of the ray in such deep seated disease.

LIVES AND VESSELS LOST. Shipping and Villages I;niaj;-.I to the i Extent of Many Million in Australia. I Victoria, B. C.March J. The last week of January of this year will be remembered long by residents of the ! Australian colonies as having wit I nessed a terrible gale and floods on ' the Queensland coast. Many vessels j were wrecked and villages destroyed. The damage ashore is estimated at S2,50O,O0O. The loss of property at ( sea was not so great, but the loss of I life by marine disasters was greater than on shore. Townsville, a small city on the northeast- coast of Queens land seemed to be the center of the storm. Everj' vessel in the harbor was wrecked. Ross island, a short distance away, was flooded and many lives were lost in attempts to reach the mainland by small boats. The damage by the hurricane in Towns ville harbor is assessed at $l,?5o,oo. On Ross island many houses were swept from their foundations and the wind upset a rescue boat. Mrs. Hunt and her infant, Mrs. Guniman. Ger trude Rowe, the elder Miss Howe and a boj- named Willy Wallnce were drowned. A house maid in Judge Chubb's employe was drowned while wading toward a punt. Sandy Walker was drowned while trying to cross Victoria bridge, which had six feet of water above the rails. Many steamers are oveidue at points along- the coast and it is feared thev have been wrecked. ! Three weeks before this great storm a hurricane visited the Hapai group and in Lifuka and the neighborhood ' -'00 houses were blown down. The damage to the cocoanut trees was so great that it will take the island from two to three years to recover as a copra producing district. Shipping suffered severely. The Norwegian I bark West Australian and the German l bark Woosung, loading at Lifuka, were both driven ashore an aban doned, the former having between 400 and 500 tons of copra on board. The German schooner Adele also was . wrecked. AN. ASSASSIN CREMATED. The Murderer of La. M. Smith at Jefferson. Wis., Burned in a Factory. Jkkfkrsox, Wis., March 2. L. M.

Cuban Matters Discussed. - WashiicotoJ?, Feb. 29. The Senate Ibis afternoon adopted ihe Cuban res olution as amended by Mr. Cameron. The rote was 04 yeas to 6 nays. The resolution in full is as follows: 'Resolved, by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That in the opinion of Congress a condition of public war exists between the government of Spain and the gov ernment proclaimed and for some time maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba; and that the United States of America should main tain a strict neutrality between the contending powers, according to each all the rights of belligerents in the ports and territory of the United States. 'Resolved, That the friendly offices of the United States shall be offered by the President to the Spanish gov ernment for the recognition of the independence of Cuba." The vote on the committee and the Cameron resolutions resulted 01 yeas to 0 nays. , The Senators who voted in the neg ative were: Caffery, Chilton, George, Hale, Morrill, Wetmore. The announcement of the result was greeted with great applause in the galleries. The Sen ite galleries were well filled at the opening of the session in antic ipation o. the culmination of the Cu ban debate and the final vote. Shortly after the session opened Representative Hitt, chairman of the House committee on Foreign Affairs, joined Mr. Sherman, chairman of the Senate committee on Foreign Rela tions, in a whispered conference at Sherman's desk. The Ohio senator announced that the Cuban question would be taken up without waiting for the usual expiration of the morn ing hour at 2 o'clock. Mr. Allen of Nebraska asked to withdraw the resolution for the ap pointment of Mr. Lloyd as a Senate official. This brought on another dis cussion as to adding a Populist official to the rolls. Mr. Allen finally with drew the resolution. Mr. Sherman then moved that the Cuban resolutions be taken up, and this prevailed without objection. Chairman Hitt remained alongside Mr. Sherman as the debate proceeded. Baron Von Kettier of the German em bassy occupied a seat in the diplomatic gallery. Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky then ad dressed the Senate on the Cuban reso lutions. He said the conflict in Cuba was at our very doors and was being waged with such desperation that only one of two results could come either the complete independence of Cuba, on the one hand, or the .utter annihilation of the Cuban people on the other. The senator , said, Jie ap proached the subject from the stand point of humanity rather than law. Declarations of svmDathv would avail ' nothing to the Cubans. Declarations that they had progressed to the stage ! OI belligerents would avail nothing. ACTIVK ISTERVKSTIOS JUSTIFIED. 'If the United States intends taking Any steps that will avail these strug gling Cubans, that step should be in the direction of the ultimate independ ence of Cuba," declared Mr. Lindsay In stentorian tones. In the past the United States had not hesitated to take the position of recognizing inde pendence under circumstances similar to those now existing in Cuba. Quoting from international author ities, the Senator maintained that a condition now existed in Cuba justify ing the United States in considering a proposition for active intervention to restore public order and in behalf of humanity. But, said Mr. Lindsay, the resolution did not contemplate active Intervention. It extended good oHices to' Spain with a view to securing the ultimate independence of Cuba. "And such independence," added Mr. Lindsay, 4,:s the only basis which will bring lasting peace to 'Cuba. judged from the experience of seventy years. The United States could not relieve itself from tho responsibility of seeing that Spain showed this island some kind of justice. Could we say to the world that unless Cuba secured her independence by her own unaided efforts she might remain under the abject subjection of Spain? Should we not say to Spain that some sort of protection, some sort of justice and liberty consistent -vith an en lightened age must be shown to these people? "Spain now contemplated the an nihilation of all the able bodied men of Cuba in order to crush this uprising. Spain owed to Cuba as much as Tur key owes to Armenia; or as the United States to Venezuela, a duty of protec tion, and if 'this protection was not 1 given,, then the point had been reached ; when' the Untied States should move for the severance of Cuba from Spain." THE KEBEI.S WEI.I. ORGANIZED.' ' At l:J5 p. m.. Mr. Sherman began his speech, closing the debate. He spoke of the keen sensitiveness of the ' Spanish people and their tendency to ' quickly resent any act thej- regarded as injurious to them. Bnt, he felt that the time had come when the United States must intervene to put an end to crime almost bevond de- ' scription. The Senator said he would ' not re-enter on the legal arguments so A II 1 1 i xuuy covered oy air. Moriran. but he referred to several pamphlets present- ed by Mr. Estrada Pal ma, the agent ana representative of the Cubans in this country. Mr. Sherman said those statements bore the stamp f authen ticity. They overcame the misappre hension that the Cubans were scat tered, unorganized bands. They showed the organization of a lecisla- ! ture, ana ol an armv. ana th p.i ' dent was a man of high character The provisional government was as compete s the Unltea ove . r .. i i t m r-v war. r fll j h did."01 Air. oaeruiiiu - -i. nnAv.4;An to the . mi States, but strongly favored i r ation to Mexico, a kindred peupy HOUSK RESOLUTION!
