LODGE BILL REPORTED
Precipitates Long Battle on the Philip
pine Tariff Measure.
DEMOCRATS PROMISE HARD TIGHT
It is Believed n Moutli Will Be Consumed
In Delating the Bill—What the House
Will Deliberate on Duriug the Present
Week.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—The Phil
ippine question will be precipitated in
the senate today, when the commit- 1
toe on the Philippines, which lias had j
the Philippine tariff bill under consid
eration, expects to report the meas
ure. The bill, with its committee
amendments, will be sent to the print
er, and Senator Lodge, chairman of
the commttee, will give, notice of his
intention to call it up on the follow
ing day and ask for its continued con
sideration until Anally disposed of.
There is a general acquiescence of
republican senators in this program.
There are other important measures
to be presented at the proper time by
administration senators, but the pres
ent agreement is to pass the Philip
pine 1)111 Arst, as being of the most
Immediate importance. A long discus
sion of the bill is expected by the
republicans and promised by the dem
ocrats. The democratic leaders say ,
they do not expect to be able to de
feat the bill and disclaim all intention
to delay a vote unnecessarily, but they
say, frankly, that they consider that
it affords an opportunity for the pre
sentation of their view of the entire
Philippine question, which they can
not afford to lot pass.
Senator Lodge will open the discus
sion with a briof speech on Tuesday,
in which he will discuss the merits of
the bill and also the necessity for
early action. He will be followed by
some member of the democratic repre- j
sentation on the committee, who will '
outline the democratic position. He .
inturn will be followed by other dem- !
ocratic senators. Many of the sena- j
tors on the democratic side are ex- |
pocted to be heard before final action |
shall be secured. Indeed, the predic
tion Is freely made that a vote will
not be obtained within a month. Sen
ator Lodge’s plan to hold the meas
ure to the front, to the exclusion of
all othor business, when the bill is
once made the unfinished business.
Tomorrow Senator Frye probably
will report the ship subsidy bill, but
he will not attempt to secure consid
eration for it for the present and prob
ably not until the Philippine bill shall
have been disposed of.
The report of the committee on in
ter-oceanic canals is expected later in
the week, but may be delayed. The !
consideration of that question in the
senate also will wait on the Philip
pine bill.
The calendar of the house of repre
sentatives is still rather meager in
important bills, so that there does not j
promise to be a heavy pressure of
business during the coming week, j
Monday is the regular suspension day, !
but there are few measures likely to
be passed by suspension of the rules.
The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill will occupy most of the time dur
ing the first few days of the week.
It carries a total of $16,700,000. which
is rather large for a deficiency meas
ure. and it is expected that two days
will be occupied in Its consideration.

the National Guard Association of
America have left for Washington, all
agreed to the support of several pro
posed measures for the betterment
of the national reserve military force.
The delegates are: Adjutant General
Colby, Brigadier General Barry, Colo

and Colonel William Hayward.
“We are going to do everything
possible to bring about much needed
concessions and legislation,” said Gen
eral Barry. “In the first place we
will petition for an act of congress
authorizing the exchange of the new
Krag rifles for the obsolete guns now
in use by the National Guard of the
country. The War department has
the rifles, but cannot give them to the
guard without authority from congress

We want to bring the United States
militia law up to date. As an illustra
tion, the existing law provides that
every member of the militia shall
equip himself with a matchlock, one
half pound of powder and forty leaden
bullets. This section has been a dead
letter for a good many years and
might as well be eliminated, for cer
tainly the army will never go back to
the matchlock basis again. And
there are other sections just as far
out of date as that one.”
Seek to Rob flanker's House
HUMBOLDT, Neb., Jan. 20.—An at
tempt was made to break into the res
idence of F. W. Samuelson, president
of the First National bank, but the
plan was frustrated by the wakeful
ness of Edwin Samuelson, a son, who
was sleeping in the house. The re
mainder of the family is in California,
the head of the house having left but
a few days ago, and the most probable
theory is that some local talent, think
ing that Edwin accompanied his fath
er, decided that it would be a good
time to pick up any stray valuables
that might be handy. According to
Edwin's story, there were two of the
visitors, and when they were discov
ered had gained entrance to a rear
room and wrnre trying to pry open a
door which barred the way. Edwin
secured a revolver and demanded to
know who was there, whereupon the
prowlers took a hasty departure.

FlMDS FOR ST. LOUIS FAIR
Nebraska Commissioners Appeal to CIti*
zens to Raise Money.
OMAHA, Jan. 18.—G. W. Wattles,
president, and E. E. Bruce, secretary,
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
commission of Nebraska, have issued
a circular calling for funds for the
purpose of preparing exhibits for that
exposition, as authorized by the meet
ing of the commissioners at Lincoln.
The circular is as follows:
•‘To the Citizens of Nebraska: The
Louisiana Purchase exposition at St.
Louis, Mo., in 1903, will celebrate the
100th anniversary of the purchase
from France of the Louisiana terri
tory. By this peaceful transaction
the area of the United States was
more than doubled. The rapid devel
opment of this territory during the
last century has no parallel in his
tory. The United States government
has recognized the importance of the
great exposition which will commemo
rate the event of the acquisition
of this territory, by an appropriation
of $5,000,000. The city of St. Louis
has appropriated an equal amount and
the citizens of that city have sub
scribed $10,000,000 more. In all there
has been appropriated and subscribed
more than $25,000,000 at this date.
“Nebraska is one of the most popu
lous and important states in this ter
ritory, but no appropriation has been
made to defray the expenses of an
exhibit of its resources at this ex
position. Four years ago the Trans
Mississippi and International Exposi
tion, which brought great credit to
this state, was liberally patronized
by every state in the union and by
private subscriptions or public appro
priations was assisted by nearly ev
ery state in the west. Recognizing
the importance of the Louisiana Pur
chase exposition, the many reasons
why Nebraska should be represented,
and the necessity for immediate
preparation, the governor has ap
pointed the undersigned commission,
without remuneration, to raise the
necessary funds by private donations
and to prepare and place on exhibit a
proper representation of the products
and resources of this state. We ap
peal to all patriotic citizens of Ne
braska, to corporations, both public
and private, to all interested in the
welfare and prosperity of this state,
and to all who have pride in its past
and hope for its future achievements,
to assist in this worthy enterprise.
The credit and state pride of our com
monwealth appeal to all patriotic citi
zens to do their duty in this emerg
ency, and we ask for a liberal re
sponse, to the end that Nebraska may
be properly represented at this great
exposition. All contributions or fu
ture pledges should he sent to Mr. E.
E. Bruce, treasurer, Omaha, Neb.

STATE LOOKS TO BONDSMEN
Nebraska is Not Negotiating With Bart
ley for Settlemen.
LINCOLN, Jan. 18.—Attorney Gen
eral Prout denied the report that the
state board of compromise is nego
tiating for a settlement of the short
age of former Treasurer Bartley.
“Several weeks ago the board had a
proposition from the bondsmen, but
it was romptly turned down,” said he.
“The board has taken no steps what
ever toward the settlement of the
claim against the bondsmen. The of
fer they made was so insiguifleant
that we decided not to give it to the
public. Nor have any steps been taken
by the board toward a settlement with
Joseph Bartley.”
The case of the state against the
bondsmen is still pending before the
supreme court and it will _be called
for hearing at an early day. There is
some likelihood of the bondsmen mak
ing another effort to effect a com
promise before the case is submitted,
but it is not likely that the board will
take the initiative.
Buys Douglas County Bonds.
LINCOLN, Jan. IS.—Acting under
authority of the Board of Educational
Lands and Funds, Treasurer Stuefer
has purchased, through a Lincoln
bank, $70,000 of Douglas county bonds.

per cent and are purchased on a
basis of 3 per cent.

Requisition of Militia Companies.
LINCOLN, Jan. 18.—Adjutant Gen
eral Colby has honored requisitions
for complete equipment for the com
panies of militia at West Point and
Stanton. The two organizations have
already been mustered into the service
and Adjutant General Colby said that
they would be assigned to the new
Third regiment, which is now in
process of formation. Company D of
the First regiment has adopted the
name Archer Rifles.

Sir:—We, the undersigned settlers
in Saskatchewan, Township 43, Range
6. beg to submit the following letter.
We came from Springfield, Bonhomme
County, S. Dakota, in the spring of
1899, and settled where we now reside.
We had considerable crop last year
we put in on new breaking, and it was
very good, and this year, 1900, our
crop is excellent. Our wheat will
yield about twenty bushels to the acre,
the oats and barley are also very good,
and our potatoes and root crop all
that could be desired. We consider
this a fine country and are glad we
came, as our prospects could not be
better. A poor man will get a start
in this country much quicker than in
Dakota.

KANSAS CROPS.
The secretary of the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture has just tabu
lated in comparative form statistics
obtained from the U. S. Department of
Agriculture year books.
The tables are brief and graphic and
calculated to surprise those who have
looked on Kansas as a semi-arid state.
Kansas ranks first in the value of
wheat and corn raised for the five ^
years 1896 to 1900, inclusive, and also ~
for the year 1900 alone; first in the
value of wheat alone raised in 1900;
fifth in the value of corn alone for the
same period; second, in the value of
wheat and corn raised in 1900 per
capita.
The same authority gives the number
of bushels of corn raised in Kansas in *1
20 years as 2,995,985,308, and the num
ber of bushels of wheat raised in same
period as 691,297,613.
These are truly wonderful figures.
In part they show the solid basis of
value on which the securities of the
Santa Fe railway rest, for the Santa
Fe is to Kansas what the Pennsylvania
railroad Is to Pennsylvania, the chief
transportation agency, with lines cov
ering the state more generally than
do those of any other company.
A new booklet on the resources of
Kansas is being prepared by the Santa
Fe passenger department and will be
ready for distribution early in the
year. The booklet will contain statis
tics for the year 1901.
Fortunate is the man who falls only
