it was superb.
—t ort KODinson dispatch: Just be
fore noon a fire broke out in the wood

burned like tinder and only through
the prompt action of the bucket com

troops had just returned to their quar
ters when the fire call again sounded.
This time it was a prairie fire sweeping
down in dangerous proximity to the
post. The six troops of cavalry were
mounted and away in a very few min
utes, each man with a gunnysack which
he wetted as the troop passed through
the creek. Five troops fought fire for
three hours and returned.
—A novel operation was performed
by Dr. Davis of this city a few days
ago, says a Grand Island dispatch. The
patient had lost the sight of one eye
from inflammation and ulceration.
After reoovery the whole center of the
eye was left a pure white. The other
eye was black and the sight good. Dr.
Davis did not remove the other eye and
substitute it by a glass one, as is usu
ally done, but with a fine needle and f
Inciia ink tattooed the eye a dark color,
formed a pupil and shaded the rest and
the painted eye looks quite as natural
as the other. The difference can only
be noticed by close inspection.
—A Beatrice dispatch says: The
weather has been excessively .warm
here for two days past, and while the
grass is coming forward nicely grave
fears are entertained that the wheat
has been completely froi$nout,and that
in many sections throughout Gage
county the wheat crop will be a total
failure. Reference is of course had to
winter wheat. The dry fall weather
i and excessively long and severe winter
; has been too much for winter wheat in
Gage county this year. Last year the
! crop was phenomenally large, and con
j sequently large areas of winter wheat
j were sown last fall. Much of the grain
| has rotted in the ground, and scarcely
| 5 per cent has germinated in many lo
calities. ’ ;:i,

Washixgtox, April 7.—It was Chili
during the last administration. It may
be its neighbor Peru during this. It
appears that the United States consu
late at one of the Peruvian ports has
been sacked by a mob with apparent
pol ice sanction. The officer acting as
consular agent for the United Statea
was fired upon and wounded in the foot
The news comes in a brief telegram
from the United States minister to Peru,
lie omitted such essential details as the
name of the place and the wounded of
ficer, or they were dropped from his
dispatch in the telegraphic transmis
sion. His telegram is as follows:
Uima, April 5.—Gresham, Washing
ton. At (place omitted) mob attacked
Masonic lodge, sacked building and
burned fixtures in the street. Inci
dentally, United States consulate was
invaded, furnishings destroyed and act
ing consular shot in foot. Archives
saved intact. Squad of Peruvian police
looked on while the mob performed
work without interference. The mail
brings the particulars. Hicks.
Secretary Gresham conferred with the
president on the subject and this after
noon sent the following telegram to the
minister:
Department or State. Washington,
D. C., April 0, 1893.—Hicks, Minister,
Uima: , Protest against failure of au
thorities to afford protection to consu-.
late, and if facts are well established*
ask expression of regret, prompt prose
cution of the guilty parties and repara
tion for injury to American property or
person. Gbkskaai.
There is but one consulate in Peru,
that at Callao. In this position Mr.
Aquilla K. Daughtery of Illinois, ap
pointed during Mr. Herrison’s adminis
tration, stands on the record as consul.
There are under him seven consular
agencies, the occupants of which posi
tions are doubtless mostly merchants
of the country who are paid by fees,
and these fees seem to be very small,
inasmuch as only two make any returns
at all to the department of fees col
lected and those returns are under $25
a year.
Inasmuch as the dispatch comes from
J.ima the impression prevails that the
scene of the outrage was one of the in
terior pdints. This impression is fur
ther strenghtened by the knowledge in
the department that in many cases
where the natives assault the sub-con
sulate, the trouble is due, not to any
antagonism to the country represented,
but to prejudice and ill-feeling against
the representative personally. This is
not an uncommon occurrence in South
America, or in other parts of the world,
where the acts of a mercantile consular
agent are resented by the people, who
would respect the acts of a citizen of
the United _ States duly appointed to a
full consular position. .
It is believed that the matter will be
satisfactorily explained in a short time.
Mrs. Cleveland’s Part at the Pair.
Washington, April 7.—Mrs. Cleve
land has decided not to accept the in
vitation of the Columbian exposition di
rectory to be present at the formal
opening of the World’s fair. She will,
however, take part in the opening cere
monies through the medium of an elec
tric wire which will connect the white
house with the exposition grounds.
The society of the Daughters of the
Revolution recently decided to have a
memorial bell cast within the fair
grounds, and Mrs. Cleveland was in
vited to touch a wire through which a
current will pass to an electrical auto
matic arrangement and turn the molten
metal of which it will be composed into
the mold. This afternoon Private Sec
retary Thurber notified the officers of
the society of Mrs. Cleveland’s accept
ance of the Invitation.
Bad a Quiet Day.
Washington, April 7.—The presi
dent has Had a comparatively quiet
day. But few applications for office
were presented to him and the senators
and representatives who called came
mainly for the purpose of looking after
the cakes already in the oven.
The president reaffirmed his home
rule policy today. To a couple of con
gressmen who called upon him to dis
cuss territorial appointments he stated
that it is his intention to adhere to the
plan of selecting appointees to positions
in the territories from among residents,
state and local. He will not depart
from this rule save in cases where the
local candidates are manifestly unlit
for office and it becomes necessary to
seek elsewhere for the proper men for
places.
A new candidate for Indian commis
sioner has appeared in the person of
Prof. Marillious Marshal of Gilmore
county, West Virginia. He was intro
duced to the president by Congressman
Pendleton, who at the same time pre
sented Colonel Alex Campbell of Beth
any, who would like to be consul gen
eral at Melbourne.
Does Not Amount to Buck.
Washington, April 7.—The Brazilian
legation in this city has received a cable
gram from the foreign office in Rio Ja
neiro relating to the trouble in the state
of Rio Grande do Sul. The telegram
stated that reports of serious engage
ments between the revolutionist and
government forces,printed in the United
States and European press were exag
gerated for the reason that the revolu
tionists avoided coming into conflict
with the troops. The affair at Alle
grete, the telegram stated, in which it
was made to appear that the revolu
tionists were signally successful, was a
conflict between a body of patriotic
citizens without equipment or organi
zation and a portion of the revolutiona
ry forces. In the one battle that has
occurred, according to the telegram,
there were bnt fifty soldiers of the
Twenty-eighth regiment engaged and
they gained a decisive victory. The
telegram clones with the assurance that
the army is entirely loyal, and th.lt no
desert ions have occurred, and that vrery
order has been executed.

Admission of Appointed Senators.
Yvashixgtox, April 7.—The senate
continued discussion of the question of
admitting senators appointed by gov
ernors. In considering the report of
the committee on privileges and elec
tions, Mr. Chandler spoke in support of
the report.
The question eras one simply between
a technical and narrow construction of
the constitution and a broad and liber
al construction of it. The modern idea
was that as the states were entitled to
senators they all should be in the sen
ate, not only for the benefit of their
respective states, but for the benefit ol
• the whole United States, and that
whenever there was not a senatot
elected by the legislature there should
be one appointed by the governor. He
admitted that the power of the legisla
ture was primary, while that of the
governor was secondary. But it did not
follow that the power of the governor
in the matter was any less complete
than that of the legislature. He ex
pressed his surprise that the senators
from Oregon and Illinois (Mitchell and
Palmer) should have taken the position
they did on this question, after their
arguments last session to prove that, if
there was any one thing that was vic
ious in the presentconstitution, it is the
method of electing senators by state
legislatures; now they were elevating
them and were advocating *the right—
a nd, as far as possible, the exclusive
right—of state legislatures to elect
United States Senators. He could not
follow them in either of their projects.
.Mr. Palmer, a member of the com
mittee on privileges and elections, ar
gued against the majority repor^ and
replied to some of Mr. Chandler’sfprop
ositions. He recalled the impressive
reading (by Senator Manderson) of
Washington's farewell address on the
22d of February last, and referred to
that part of it which reminded the peo
ple that the constitution could be
amended and thus altered, and which
warned them against constructive al
teration of that instrument. He was
impressed with those words of the fath
er of his eonntry, in view of what had
been said today by the senator from
New Hampshire. That senator admit
ted that though many years after the
formation of the constitution, the con
struction for which he (Mr. Palmer!
contended was the received construc
tion, but the senator from New Hamp
shire had discovered that the constitu
tion might be changed by construction.
The fathers had adopted what the sen
ator called a narrow and illiberal con
struction of the constitution, but he,
their wiser son, had found a method
better than theirs. For himself (Mr.
Palmer), he desired to be repnted as il
liberal with those who won the inde
pendence of the country and those who
I formed its admirable system of govern
ment. rather than follow the new light
preached by the distinguished senator
from New Hampshire.
He had been referred to by the sena
tor as desiring to alter the constitution
in order to give the election of senators
to the people of the United States. He
did not so desire. But he desired to
have the constitution changed delibcr
i ately and solemnly. No inconsistency
! could be predicted or charged, because,
while the constitution existed, he fa
vored adhering to it rigidly. And it
would be found that the most danger
ous class of politicians in the country
were those who believed and taught
that the framework of the government,
the constitution, was to be modified,
not by formal action on one of the
methods prescribed by the constution,
but was to be altered by construction.
He (Mr. Palmer) asked the senators to
stand by the constitution as it is. He
had no right to be liberal in construing
an instrument which he had sworn to
support. Neither his judgment nor his
conscience would allow, him to follow
the senator from New Hampshire in
the path which he had marked out for
the senate to pursue.
Some More Nominations.
Washington. April 4.—The president
sent the senate the following' nomina
tions:
James O. Broadhcad of Missouri, min
ister to Switzerland,

James O. Broadhead of Missouri, who
is named as minister to Switzerland, is
by profession a lawyer and has rep
resented his state as a member of con
gress from St. Louis. He is about 05
years of age. and has been prominent
in politics in Missouri for a long time.
He was a member of the constitutional
convention in Missouri in 1861 and 1863,
which deposed the rebel legislature and
governed the state for two years of the
war. He has had some experience in
diplomatic ihatters through his connec
tion with the French spoliation claim*
which led him to visit Paris for this
government.
Bartlett Tripp of South Dakota, who
goes as minister to Austro-IIungaria,
was one of the pioneers in Dakota be
fore the division of the territory. He
is 48 years of age and is a brother-in
law of Senator Davis of Minnesota. He

Trouble with the I’oVte.
Washington, April 8,—The United
States lias taken vigorous action in re
gard to the outrages on American citi
zens at Masovar in the Turkish domin
ions and the violations of the mail of
the United Stutes legation. The facts
of the case are as follows:
On the 10th of January last a number
of seditious placards were distributed
throughout the region of Masovar and
Caesarea in the center of Asia Minor.
On account of alleged seditious move
ments existing among tho Armenians
the Turkish authorities ascribed the
authorship of these placards to the stu
dents of Anatoba college, an American
educational institution of Masovar. On
the night of the 3d of February the
girls’ seminary of the institution was
bred and burned to the ground. There
was strong circumstantial evidence, that
this was done with the full knowledge,
if not by direct act, of the Turkish offi
cials.
Demands for redress made to the
Turkish authorities were met by coun
ter demands of their side that the al
leged seditious movements of the Amer
ican students should be iirst investi
gated and determined upon before any
efforts were made to discover the per
petrators of the outrages complained of.
Secretary Gresham has cabled to the
minister at Constantinople a strong ex
pression of the president’s views on the
outrages and demanding not only
prompt reparation for the burned sem
inary, but the punishmentof all parties
found guilty in tho matter. Minister
Thompson is instructed that no alleged
prior acts of students are to affect the
rights of this government in the prem
ises. Minister Thompson is charged to
give renewed attention to the matter
and to dispatch a special messenger, if
necessary, to consult Jewett and see to
the invioliability of the correspondence.
The minister is to act promptly and ad
vise the department by cable. No
effort is to be relaxed in securing the
legal rights of our citizens in Turkey.
It is understood to be the policy of
the United States to make the Marsovar
incident a test case in our relations
with Turkey.
There are at present more' than 300
American citizens residing in the Turk
ish empire who have the management
of property to the value of over 82,000,
000. Further advices from Mr. Thomp
son are looked for shortly.
Hay Cause a Blockade.
Chicago, 111., April 8.—The careless
ness of American exhibitors at the
World’s fair is likely to cause serious
trouble in arranging exhibits and may
delay the installation of some displays
until June 1. It is estimated that be
tween now and May 1, 7. non carloads of
exhibits will arrive at the park and
unless they bear more explisit shipping
orders than those already received, a
blockade at the park is inevitable. To
facilitate the handling of exhibits, the
World’s fair management sent out
months ago instructions setting forth
particularly that all ears of exhibits
should have cards attached specifying
the building for "which the exhibits arc
intended. Foreign exhibitors have fol
lowed these instructions to the letter, j
but many American exhibitors have
totally ignored them. The consequence
is that whole train loads are arriving at
the park on freight bills for which
nothing is given to show the nature of
the exhibit, or aid the officials in its
disposition. •
Cabinet Meeting.
Washington, April 8.—The cabinet
meeting yesterday lasted nearly three
hours. Most of the time was spent in
discussion of the' forthcoming visit of
the president and members of the cab
inet to Xew York to witness the naval
review and to Chicago to open the fair.
It is understood that the details of the
trips have about been arranged.
The treasury department is in an
easier condition than it has been for
several months past, due largely to the
j increased receipts from customs. With
j this condition the tightness in gold
] has somewhat disappeared and where
| no gold was received in payment of cus
| toms duties, gold in considerable quan
| tities is now paid. The net gold in the
treasury department yesterday was 86,
292.013, and it is being received daily
in exchange for small notes, for which
the demand still is good,
j There are no additional facts relat
i ing to the assault upon a United States
consulate in Peru, in possession of the
state department today. Efforts to lo

been lessened or has quite disappear™:
since beginning the treatment: thaM
pectoration is easier and much in
creased: that they breathe with much
greater ease; that all have good apa

In the face of these tests and the un
impeachable testimony from thousand
of reputable physicians all over tin
land, no man can deny that Dr. Amiek
has discovered something which sworn
plishes most wonderful results.
The Recorder still continues to state
that every facility will f>e alTonim
physicians and sufferers everywhere: -
satisfy themselves that a cure for con
sumption has at last been found am1
that this test can be made free of anv
expense to them; every physiopui ex
pressing his desire to test the treatment
and every sufferer willing to act as a
test patient will, it says most positively,
be supplied with Dr. Amick's medi- im-s
without cost.
