tro grounds for the belief that the govern
ment will have some dcllmto Information to
Impart to the commissioners at tomorrow's

States regarding the annexation question.
Tlio secretary of state said today that no
arrangements had been made for the recep

last Friday , transmitted to the senate copies
of thi ! annexation treaty negotiated between

King Kameliamelia HI. In l ll > . together with

Stati ) department narrating tlio circum

Marcvy's letter to the new minister expressIng -
Ing bis disapproval of the terms of the treaty
as negotiated.
Snrrrtnry Mnrcry'M Letter.
Although the letter of Secretary Marcey
was written nearly forty years ago , It Is
thought by them to fairly present the views
of this administration upon the question of
the annexation of Hawaii. In it ho objected
to the Immediate incorporation of the Islands
into the Hulled States as an independent
state , and said :
"I understand that the measure pro | > oscd
liy the people and that in which the present
rulers are disposed to concur , is annexation ,
as distinguished from protection , and that it
Is tholr intention that these Islands shall be
come a part of our territories and bo under
the control of this government as fully as
any other of Its territorial possessions.
"Should the sovereignty of these Islands
bo transferred to the United States the
present government would , as a mailer of
course , bo superseded by or bo subjected to
the federal authority of this country. "

WASHINGTON , D. C , , Feb. 0. Tlio United
States supreme court today did not an
nounce its decision In the matter ot the ap
plication for leave to lllo a petition fora re
hearing of the Chicago laUo front case.
The court took a recess for a month today.
7t is , therefore , very probable that it will
t tit pass upon the motion for a rehearing
until March 1 , although it is possible It may ,
before reassembling , hand Its order in the
premises to the clerk , the matter not now
being on the court docket.
The cases of Harden and Walker against
the Northern I'acllta liailroad company ,
which wore argued before the United States
supreme court last week , were today or

are what are known as mineral land cases ,

Mr. Thompson was not about the office

the American company to obtain possession

morning to further consider the World's fair
Sunday opening resolution. The rules of the

Ht'imto In tliu HOIMU.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Fob. 0. Tlio proceed
ings of the senate were of a character a
once interesting and important. The Junto
senator from Now York , Mr. Hill , made the
motion , of which ho had given notice his
Friday , to proceed to the consideration o
tlio bill to repeal the Sherman silver pur
chase net , and In support of the motion de
livered a carefully prepared s | > ceeli , in whlel
ho ' declared himself unconditionally u friend
of' free bimetallic coinage. The motion wa
defeated by nearly a two-thirds tnajoritv.tho
vote being , yeas , 2l ! ; nays , 4-1 , Afterward
the quarantine bill was taken up and passei
without n division ; also a bill for the pay
nient out of thu treasury of local taxes on
lands huld by Indians In severally.
Finally the automatic coupler bill wa
taken up and discussed for uptime , when 1
went over until tomorrow.
After routine business , Mr. Hill moved to
take up the bill repealing the Shcrinni
silver purchase act. After a good deal o
confusion and jvxrllamcntary wrangling , tb
senate was finally brought to a vote on Mr

Senator Chandler voted In the nfllrmatlve ,
orgetUng that he was paired with Mr. Allen
if Washington , and withdrew his vote.
The credentials of Mr. Stewart of Nevada
'or his fourth term were presented.
Senate bill for the payment by the govern-
nent of local taxes on lands held by Indians
n severally was passed.
The house bill granting additional quaran-
, lno ixnvers and imimslng additional duties
U | > on the marine hospital service , was taken
up. The question wing on the substitute
coortod from the senate committee on epl-
lemle diseases.
Mr. Hill said he would not antagonize the
Jill , but would content himself with voting
n the negative. In times of war , civil laws
were silent ; In times of contagious and cpl-
Icmic diseases , stale rights had also to go to
the rear. Also the senate substitute was
igrccd to , and the bill as amended was
) assed.
The one controlling reason for the repeal
of the Sherman net , was that it was neces
sary , safe and ( for the day ) sufllclent steps
; oward free bimetallic coinage. It was , in
ils opinion , the only notion needed to test
md fulfill Iho endeavor lo reach free hi-
nctailic coinage by the roule of an InUirna-
Uonal agreement. That was the point
which all his remarks were meant to convey.
The house car coupler bill was next taken
.ip , Mr. Gorman asking that it lie over until
next Monday , and Mr. Cullom demanding
its present consideration. The bill went over
without action , and the senate , after an
executive session , adjourned.
In the Mouse.
This was suspension day In the house , and
Mr. Kilgoro of Texas early began filibuster-
ng motions , his superficial object being to
,11-ovcnt the consideration of the anti-option
) ill , lint deeper than this was bis antago-
ilsin to the bankruptcy bill , which public
rumor bad put down on the slate for today.
Man.v members who were in favor of this
imposition wore opposed to the third , and
iliero was a third section , which , being in
favor of both proK ) > sitlons , was opposed to
tillls which It suspected would bu called up
For Iho consideration of war claim measures.
After a long but rather uninteresting
light Mr. Kilgoro found himself in a helpless
minority and was obliged to surrender , and
the journal , against which his skirmish line
was drawn , was approved. Hut ho was not
ilishcartened and when he found Mr. Hur-
rows of Michigan leading an attack against
i war claims bill ho valiantly seconded every
move made by that gentleman.
It was after 1 o'clock when the various
filibustering motions of Air. Kilgoro were
disposed of and thu Journal approved. Then
Mr. Dunn moved to suspend the rules and
| > ass a bill appropriating ,000 for the re
lief of the heirs of Adalicia Chouteau.
Mr. Hurrows demanded a second , and , as
no quorum voted , on motion of Mr. Kilgoro
a call of tlio liouso was ordered. The call
showed the presence of a quorum and tellers
were again ordered , and acain no quorum
voted , and again a call of the house was or
dered. After some other roll calls the house
adjourned , without having reached the anti-
option or the bankruptcy bills.

The Board of Education met and trans

The treasurer's monthly statement showed
.ho following balances in the treasury to the
credit of the school district :
Jonoral fund $55,115 34
Situ and building fund 10,505 45
Sinking fund 18,025 13
The board decided some time ago to sell
some short time paving bonds that had been
purchased by money in the sinking fund ,
1'wo bids for the funds were received , the
lilghcst coming from the German Savings
liank , which was for par value , accrued In

Wonder * Novtir Crnse.
The most singular Incident in the history
of the Omaha schools toolc place. It
was the handing in of the resig
nation of a Janitor , Mr. John
I.ucas of the Lake school , who notified the
board that ho had secured n bettor position
and wished to be relieved from the duties of
lanltor. Thu resignation was accepted and
Mr. C. K. Babcock moved that the gentle
man's name bo framed and bung up in the
board rooms as a recognition of the fact that
this was the llrst time in thu history of the
board that such a thing had ever happened.
Miss Cora B. Pratt offered her resignation
is teacher , and it was accepted. Samuel
MacLeod , superintendent of thu building ,
presented his official bond , which was ac
cepted.
A communication from State Superintend-
nit Cloudy was road , touching the legal
ity of maintaining a teachers' traili
ng school upon funds belonging to
the public schools. The superintendent's
iplnion was given a week ago In brief
; n TUB Bm : . Ho went Into the question ox-
iiiustively , give the statutory provisions for
.ho maintenance of the various kinds of
schools and closed by saying that while ho
was of the opinion that the establishment of
i teacher's training school might be a benefit
to the school system , yet bo found no
nituority in the school laws of the state for
the maintenance of n teachers' training
school.
The opinion was placed on die and the
secretary was requested to spread the com-
nunication upon the minutes.
limpet-tors lluvu a Simp.
Colonel Akin Introduced a resolution for
llio purpose of authorizing the committee entraining
training school to deliver to the recent
pntduatesof the institute appropriate certifi
cates.
Victor Daniclson was elected ns Janitor of
Lho Lake school , and J. Lamb Janitor of
Central Park school. The committee on
supplies -was authorized to purchase a turnIng -
Ing lathe and other tools for the manual
training school.
Current bills and salaries amounting to
$37T-IU.-J ! ) were allowed. Mr. Thomas called
attention to the fact that the board was
paying n couple of building Inspectors $150
a month to look after the new buldllngs ,
but as u matter of fact tbcso inspectors had
not had anything to do since the work had
been closed down.
Ho was Informed that the Inspectors were
employed by the year and the board hud no
idea at the time they were employed that
the winter would be so severe as to stop all
the work.
MTU. Sudliorougli'R Salary.
Dr. Gibbs moved that the item of salary
for Mrs. Sudborough , principal of the teach
ers' training school , bo stricken from
the list of current expenses. Ho
held that the board could not
legally allow Mrs. Sudborough a salary , slnco
it bad been decided that the training school
could not bo legally maintained on public
sohool funds. Mr. C. E. Babcoclc and others
thought that it would bo very unjust to re
fuse to pay the salary that had been earned
in good faith. The resolution was lost by a
vote of 0 to a.
Mr , Thomas , from the committee ap
pointed to appraise the Dodge Struct school ,
reported that the property was Uellovod to
bo worth $ rl5,000.
Mr. Babeock Introduced a resolution call
ing upon the attorney of the board for imme
diate action with regard to ilxlng up a contract
with the city attorney and the council for
the occupation of rooms on the fifth door of
the city hall. It was carried.
Will Keep IlodRO Sellout Hullitlng.
Mr. Babcock also presented a resolution to
offer the Dodge street school building for
$45,000. Ho introduced the resolution simply
to get an expression from the mem
bers of the board. Ho was op-
i > osed to the resolution because ho
believed the school board should hold on to
thu property. It would bo very valuable
In the not distant futuro. Dr. Duryea said
that if the town was going to grow , as most
pconlo seemed to think it would , then it was
madness to sell the property at any such a
ridiculously low prlco ns that mentioned by
the resolution. Ho believed that the time
would comu when this property would bo
worth ten times as much as the appraise
ment. The burnt district would bo wiped
out eventually and all that | x > rtion
of the city would bo built up with substan
tial business blocks. Ho had seen whole
streets In Now Yorit City transformed from
low resorts to splendid business blocks , and
the same thing would doubtless occur in
Omaha. It would be a wisu thing to hold
the Dodgu street property. This seemed to
be thu prevailing opinion of the board and
the resolution was overwhelmingly defeated.
Mr. Elguttcr read a letter from Thomas
Kilpatrlck , president of the Associated
Charities , asking permission to secure the
assistance of the school children in collect
ing donations of food and clothing to bo dis
tributed among the iwor. Permission to do
this was granted.
Ir. Elguttor offered a resolution to make
it the rule of the board that all
work upon now building * should ho done by
union labor Mr BabeptikiOpiKised the Idea
Ho believed that It Tvvai the duty of the
board to got the building * erected Just as
cheaply as possible After-considerable dis
cussion the resolution wns withdrawn.
Mr. Kent Wm tn Coin.
Dr. Olbbs presented , n.vcry important
motion. He moved that , the sum of $2-40 bo
paid to Mr. Kent , ' hllsbaiidnf , Mrs.
Mary Kent , formerlv ref v
school , ns pay for tun time
was ill. Ho said that Mrs. Kiln
fallen ono morning while/ climbing the hill
near the Forest school/i Tlio hoard had
failed to provide a decent sidewalk near the
school and the lady halt fallen and had sus
tained Injuries that led t/)1 / her death. Mr.
Kent had agreed to withdraw all further
claims against the Iwird If he could gut
enough to pay tho' salary of Airs.
Kent while she was 111. Ho believed that
the husband of thu doeavcd ( ! might collect
heavy damages against the school district If
ho decided to bring an action. He thought
that by paying him 140 Mr , Kent would
sign a release and waive nil claims.
Several members of the board were op
posed to the proiwsltlon and It was dufeatcd.
Mr. Thomas introduced a resolution to have
the savings bank scheme conducted by the
Globe Loan and Trust company investigated.
The matter was dually laid over until the
next meeting.
I'licninonln ,
At no time In the history of Jtho country
has pneumonia been so prevalcTit as during
the winter months of the last two years. In
times past a common cold was not considered
at all serious , but of late years the great ten
dency of colds to result In pneumonia has
made people apprehensive. The trouble Is
that colds are not always propel ly treated.
No preparation containing opium , wild
cherry or chloroform should be used , ns they
have a tendency to dry up a cold , whereas It
should bo loosened anil the lungs relieved.
It has been observed that when Chamber
lain's Cough Hcmcdy Is used the cold never
results in pneumonia. The reason is that
this remedy stimulates the mucous mem
brane which lines the throat and lungs to a
healthy action , causes a free expectoration ,
throwing off tlio poisonous matter , and coun
teracts any tendency toward pneumonia. .

Dealers also soon learn tn'o true vnluo of
their goods , and wheu th Sy have an article
of unusual merit they will almost invariably
mention the fact to their customers. This
accounts In a great measure for the largo

Interesting Cnpltitl City
LINCOLN , Nob. , Feb. 0. [ Special to Tun
Ben. ] The threatened litigation between
the street railway company and the city will
probably not come off ns scheduled , attempts
now being made to settle the matter.
The city 1ms declared Its Intention to fol
low the example of Omaha's city treasurer
with the Pullman company , and sel/.o some
property on distress warrants , and the com
pany threatened to enjoin them If they did.
The controversy dates back four or live
years , when paving was licguti. The com
panies have persistently refused to pay for
the grading and bringing to grade of their
tracks , and tho'amount now reaches $ . " > ,000.
Another disputed point was whether the
companies should bo compelled to pay for the
paving between mils on streets which had
already been paved when their tracks wen1
laid thereon. The most serious point In con
troversy , however , was the validity of the
paving assessments levied against them , the
companies contending that the curim-ll had
not followed the law , which directed them
to notify the companies that they were to
pave Iwlwocn the rails on certain streets ,
gave them noop | > ortunlty of advertising for
or securing bids for that part of the paving ,
but went right ahead and paved between the
rails without any notification to the com
pany. This involves a nice legal proposition
and attorneys are divided In their opinions
regarding tlio case.
Attempted , lnll Delivery.
Five prisoners in the county jail are locked
up In the solitaries on the charge of at
tempted Jail delivery. Tlio leader of the
gang is supposed to bu Charles Hoppe , who
was sentenced a few days ago to sixteen
months in the penitentiary for robbing n
hardware store. The Jailer was made aware
of the proceedings by n trusty eonlined In
thu big cage with the others , but It was im
possible to catch the fellows at work. They
were dually stopped , but not until they had
sawed through an inch iron bar. Through
this opening they could have gotten Into the
corridor , but from there to freedom stood
another big barred door. In one corner of
the big cagu was found the broken fragments
of a saw.
An investigation showed that a young fel
low named Clark , who was arrested with
Hoppe , but discharged as the latter exoner
ated him from all complicity , had called at
the Jail Saturday , and , by eluding thu vigi
lance of the turnkey , passed several saw * in
to lloppe , onu of which bo gave to .lolin
Hyan , who had been transferred from the
county to the city Jail. Chief Otto was noti
fied and had Hyan searched. In the lining
of his coat ho found a bright now saw. and
an Inspection of the window bars showed he
had attempted to use It on ono of them.
District Court Nv .
Murphy and Hyan. the pair of toughs who
were accused of having huld up and robbed
un athletic German , were acquitted by the
Jury of thu charge. When the verdict had
been read , Judge Hall turned to them and
remarked : "You nro discharged from the
custody of the sheriff , but let me warn you ,
don't do it again. The next time you may
strike an honest Jury. "
The pair turned to go , but were stopped by
a deimty sheriff who placed them under ar
rest on a charge of burglary , preferred
A STOMACH LIKE AN INDIAN ,
Why the Indians Never Have Dys-

Ko one could nrcuse

nto what nature give
him burrlos from the
wood , spoil from liU
traps , game from his
bow. Ilu ate plenty of
It , nte till lie was full.
It was not very well cooked eouictlmoj , and
tie often ate fast.
When hunting or flghtlnjj a Any would often
pass without anything being eaten at all.
Yet ho never had dyspepsia.
Ho never "dieted. "
We hear too much about "dieting" those
days.
A man musn't cot pic , or cabbage , or cake ,
or beans , or this and that.
Ho imun't eat rery much and ho mutt do It
very slow. He uuist never drink when ho
cuts. Ho mu n't hurryHo urasu't worry.
Anil so It eocs.
This U all very good advice , But It would
worry a man to death to remember It nil.
Why can't we live llko the Indian In n
healthy , lieiuty , natural way ? Ilocuuso wo
have imauweak stomachs. But how did the
Indian possess such perfect sUoiiff.dlKenlon ?

lilmtoumko for us. If you would tnko the
natural American remedy for dyspepsia ,

what u weak Btomach or dyspepsia was.
Thanks to the off arts of the Kleknpoo Modi ,
