lions. It Is known In official circles, Is due
to the reservation made confining the
amnesty stipulation to "bona fide acta of
war," which the Boer generals suspected
covered the Intention ot raking up some
charge to secure the permanent expatriation
of Dewot. The Boers distrust ot Chamber

utterly opposed giving them any dispensing

of whom, and especially Dewct. aalnst

Lave been charged, mainly on native or
hearsay evidence, with various atrocities.
The jingoes arc In a quandary in re
lation to the negotiations, because the
papers show that their Idols, Kitchener
and Mllner. aro prepared to go farther
than their Idol Chamberlain, nnd the di
vergence of opinion disclosed between the
military and civil chiefs on the spot and
tho government at home constitutes an ele
ment of weakness In the situation which
undoubtedly greatly strengthens and en
heartens tho Boers.
The general effect has been further weak
ened by the position of the cabinet, already
gravely discredited by the gross misman
agement of Its business In the face ot the
Incessant hostility ot the Irish party In
Parliament. In fact, the belief Is prevalent
that reconstruction will become Imperative
after the Introduction ot the budget, which
evil day the ministers are delaying.

(Copyright. 11, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON. March tt. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Court cir
cles are gossiping excitedly about the ter
rific family row which preceded the de
parture of the duke and duchess of York on
their colonial tour. It Is an open secret
that they literally were compelled to go by
the king.
The duchess pleaded for a year's respite.
Tho duke claimed his health was too bad.
Queen Alexandra strongly backed them, but
the king put down his. toot and Insisted.
The duke and duchess as resolutely re
fused, but the king forced their bands by
giving out an announcement to the press
that the tour had been definitely decided
upon. This left them no option but to go.
Queen Alexandra's Indignation at the
high-banded action of, the king Is shown
by her suddenly announced determination
to go to Copenhagen, on which trip she
started today. This greatly enraged King
Edward, who was powerless to stop her,
but he declares his Intention of traveling
to Copenhagen bimielt in three weeks to
bring her home. King Edward's view is
that a monarch must make himself tha real
head of state by conscientiously fulfilling
every duty and asserting every prerogative.
He has set out to make the queen and his
family work as hard as himself.
Won't Itlak the Whole Succcaalon.
It was on public grounds solely that he
packed the duke and duchess ot York off.
Ho refused to let them take tbelr children
with them because It was Impolitic to risk
the whole succession on one ship. Besides,
young Prince Edward Is an extremely high
strung, nervous child, whom the doctors
have ordered spared from every kind ot
avoidable excitement. King Edward Is
teaching arlstoctatlc dignitaries and the
great officers of state that he is master of
his own house. His lord steward, the earl
of Pembroke, appointed Colonel Jennings,
long assistant paymaster, to be paymaster
of the king's household. When the kins
Inquired by what right he had made the
appointment, Pembroke replied: "By
usage."
The king retorted: "Well. It Is high time
that usage was stopped," and forthwith can
celled the appointment and gave .the place
to Sir Nigel KIngscote.
Pembroke threatened to resign over this
affront, which was accentuated by an order
Issued by the king directing that no ap
polntments be made in the household with
out his assent. All the new officials are
being appointed at lower salaries than their
predecessors received.
The Illness of the duke ot York at Cowes
Is now said not to have been German
measles. Its principal feature was delirium.
which never acccmpanles that complaint
The duke resembles bis uncle, the late
duke ot Saxe-Coburg, In character and dis
position, also In the fact that his expert
ence In the navy did blm no good. He
looked shockingly 111 when sailing on the
Ophlr, and cannot be Induced to take proper
care of himself.

HOME. March 23. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) The World
correspondent learns that the pope Intends
to Introduce a radical change shortly In the
present system of considering the United
States an Infidel country and therefore
coming under the Jurisdiction ot the con
gregation of propaganda fide Instead of
depending directly upon the holy see.
Profound dissatisfaction Is constantly
caused among the American priests having
anything to do with the propaganda fide by
Cardinal Ledochow ski's high-handed man
ner toward them. Complaints have been
so numerous lately that the sovereign pon
tiff has determined to withdraw the United
States from the Jurisdiction ot the propa
ganda fide.
Both Archbishop Corrlgan and Archbishop
Ireland strongly advocated this measure
when In Rome. The former especially Im
presses the pope by laying before him the
enormous progress made by the American
Catholics, who now amount to 13,000,000,
especially In the archdiocese ot New York,
where In the course of the last year Arch
bishop Corrlgan has laid the foundation
stones ot 210 churches or Institutes at a
cost exceeding 5100.000,000.

PARIS. March 23. (New York World

turning to London Mrs. Lily de Bathe and
her daughter. Miss Langtry, were compelled
to appear In a police court to obtain the
release ot their courier, who had been
locked up under comical circumstances.
The Jersey Lily's attendant, having seen
Mrs. de Bathe and daughter safely to tbelr
hotel, went out again to do.jome Paris
sightseeing on his own hook. Midnight
found him blbulously wandering In danger
ous quarters. Policemen, sizing up the
courier as a foreigner, advised him to re-

Englishman boasted that he was a match
for any dozen Frenchmen.
"Besides," said he. flourishing a revol
ver. "I never go unarmed see."
Thereupon the officer promptly arrested
him for carrying concealed weapons. The
prisoner, resisting, received a thrashing
which must have convinced hli that occa

English. ,
The Jersey Lily postponed her departure
for three days to secure the man's release
and paid his 100 francs fine.
Mrs. de Bathe said she had ordered more

Mr. Rosewater's Declaration
LINCOLN", March 23, 1P01.
To the Members of the Nebraska Legislature In Joint Convention
Assembled:
Ilespondlug to your resolution asking candidates for the United
States senate to declare publicly their attitude on the question of
electing senators by direct vote of the people, I wish to cite the con
cluding remarks of the address delivered by me to the rvpubllcans
of my own ward last fall announcing my candidacy, as follows:
In conclusion, let me define my position clearly on a tew vital
questions that are not em hod led In the party platform.
1 believe that corporations are creatures ot the state that
should be regulated and controlled by the state. While I favor
public supervision of corporations, I am by no means In favor of
confiscating their property, either by prescribing ruinous rates or ,
excessive taxation. In other words, I favor such legislation as
will protect the people against extortion and discrimination by
corporate monopolies, but at the same time am opposed to aay
legislation that would prevent them from earning fair Interest on
honest Investment.
I am In favor ot the establishment ot postal savings banks In
which the, earnings of the people will be safely guarded through
panic and depression.
I am in favor ot the postal telegraph and the widest extension
ot postal facilities to tho people.
I am In favor ot the election ot United States senators by
direct popular vote.
I have been a republican since the days of John C. Fremont
and advocated its cardinal doctrine when tho nation passed
through the fiery ordeal. I am a republican In every fiber of my '
being and expect to continue to battle for the principles of tho
party, come what may. I take It for granted that the republic
ans ot Omaha and Nebraska realize the demand ot the hour tor
public men who not only have the ability and the courage to
grapple with every question, but who are also close to the people
and not afraid to work for them in season and out of season.
It is for you to say who best fills this measure at this time.
I stand on this platform. Respectfully yours.

LINCOLN, March 23. (Special Tele
gram.) No material changes were recorded
In the ballot for United States senators
In Joint session today. With four repub
licans absent, most ot the candidates failed
to poll their full vote.. Thompson went
dovn to fifty-six and Rosewater to thirty,
tno only chango In the respective votes
being the transfer of Johnson from Rose
water to Crouuse and the addition to tho
Melklejohn force of another of tho "antls,"
Evans, who yesterday voted for Klnkald.
The declared policy of the so-called "antls"'
to withdraw their support from candidates
who are helping Thompson was not fol
lowed out. Notwithstanding their expres
sions yesterday of provocation at the actlou
ot Cronnse In "throwing them down." as
they called it. McCarthy and Wbltmoro
continued to register their preference for
hint, while Senator Martin retained one
of their votes, notwithstanding the fact
that he, too, is casting his own vote for
Thompson.

Outside of the balloting the only Incident
In the Joint session was the presentation
by Senator Baldrlge of a communication
from Mr. Rosewater, responding to the
resolution adopted yesterday calling upon
the different candidates for United Suites
senator to declare themselves on the ques
tion ot electing United State senators by
direct vote ot tho people. Mr. Rosewater,
although his advocacy ot the supremacy
ot popular wilt In the choice of United
States senators was well known, was the
only one of the candidates on cither side
of the political fence to come up promptly
and put himself on record. The clerk read
the statement from the desk, receiving re
spectful attention, and at the conclusion
the roll call proceeded without Interrup
tion. The adjournment ot the caucus last night
until Monday night hangs up tho senatorial
contest at least until Tuesday. AH sorts
of schemes and deals arc rumored, based
on fusion votes going to republican can
dldates or being withheld by Intentional
absence, but so far as can be learned noth
ing tangible has been accomplished In this
, . direction and both republicans and fu-
stonists aro on tne alert for any move
that might bo regarded as a trick.

The attack ot sickness suffered by Rep
resentative Sprccher In the house this
morning naturally aroused quite a flurry
around the state house and elicited ex
pressions ot sympathy on all sides, with
the bone that Its effects would soon r.i
paased. Mr. Sprecher Is really the leader
of the minority party In tbo
house. An Incessant worker and
an uncompromising fighter, he has
been so constant In his attendance upon
the sessions, supplementing his dally labors
with study and committee work at night,
that his strong constitution has been un
questionably subjected to a severe streLn.
The latest reports are reassuring and ho
may be in his seat again Monday.
