HOUSE THIS WEEK
A EATTLE TO BE FOUGHT IN
LOWER BRANCH.
CUBAN RECIPROCITY MEASURE
Factions Will Close in a Spirited Con
flict—Regarded as Certain that the
Payne Bill Will Be Put Through
that Body.
WASHINGTON, D, C.. April 7.- The
great battle over Cuban reciprocity
which created such a protracted strug
gle among the republicans will be
fought out on the floor of the house
this week. The ultimate passage of
the Payne bill providing for a 21) per
cent reduction on the products of Cuba
after the negotiation of a reciprocity
treaty and the enactment of our im
migration laws by the republic of
Cuba, is regarded as a foregone con
clusion, but the situation is a com
plicated one, owing to the division
among the democrats as well as the
republicans.
now rar tne republican opponents
of the proposed legislation will carry
their opposition is not determined.
The strength of this opposition has
dwindled until it probably numbers
less than 100. On the other hand a
large majority of the democrats favor
the greatest possible freedom of trade
with Cuba, tend would vote for a deeper
cut than the ways and means bill pro
poses. Others, like Newlands (Nev.)
are in favor of the immediate annexa
tion of the IslandR and quite a number
under the lead of I»uisiana members
will oppose strenuously any tariff con
cession.
It Is hinted that the attitude of the
democrats in the senate who have
fixed on a program of opposition may
result before the vote shall he taken in
more unity of action on the part of
the democrats of the house. Some of
the republican opponents of the hill
will speak against It, but the leaders
of the republican opposition show a
strong disinclination to participate in
the debate on the ground that these
speeches would become democratic
campaign material in the coming con
gressional campaign. The bill will be
brought up Tuesday as a revenue bill,
which Is privileged under the rules,
but no special order will be brought
In for its consideration. In this way
the possibility of a defeat of a rule
through a combination of the repub
lican recalcitrants and the democrats
will be avoided. The general debate
will be allowed to exhaust itself. The
leaders on both sides estimate that not
more than three days will he consum
ed In general debate. The real fight
will come subsequently when the bill
Is ready for amendment under the five
minute rule. It will he then that the
democrats will seek to offer amend
ments having for their purpose the
opening up of tho whole tariff question.
While some of these amendments
might command some republican votes
If they should actually come to a vote,
they will be ruled out of order in the
house, as they were in committee, and
the only method by which they can
be reached would be by overruling the
decision of the chair.
It Is certain that not half a dozen.
If indeed any republicans, will go to
this length, so that the republican
leaders feel assured that none of these
propositions will come to an actual
vote. The only amendments which
will he held to be germane and In or
der will he those Increasing or de
creasing the amount of the concession
and the leaders feel reasonably safe
in the prediction that the caucus decis
ion for 20 per cent reduction will
stand.

WHAT THE TIMES KA3 TO GAY
Thinks Influx of Americans Will Ec
Oxford Good.
LONDON, April 7.—The Times, in
an editorial on the reception of Air.
Rhodes' plan abroad, says:
"It is unnecessary to discuss the
politcal aspects of the scheme as it
indicated Mr. Rhodes had aspirations
for a better understanding between
England, America and Germany; but
it cannot be doubted that the effect
of the change on Oxford itself will be
far-reaching, and it is hoped invigor
ating. The influx of Americans and
Germans will tend to quicken the in
tellectual life.”
Owing to the absence of the most
of the authoritative men from Oxford
at the present moment, says the
Times, it will be impossible to get an
expression of university opinion on
the subject now. but doubtless the
trustees have many important points
to decide under the large discretion
left them. The times considers that if
Lord Rosebery would accept the
presidency of the trust, the decision
would be generally welcomed, and says
that he Is by far the best of the ex
ecutors for that office.
The Daily Telegraph announces
that Emperor William and President
Roosevelt both received an invitation
from the trustees of Mr. Rhodes' es
tate as to what the will proposed
before that document was made pub
lic. The president and the emperor
both intimated to the trustees, accord
ing to the telegraph, their pleasure
it the approval of the legacies in
friendly and gratified terms.

;ion camps of South Africa. Inasmuch
is the committee was without satis
’actory means for forwarding the
money. President Roosevelt was re
luested to accept the fund and have
t forwarded through such channels
is he might deem best, to be disbursed
lor the relief of the sufferers for
whom it was intended.
A letter from Secretary Hay, under
late of April 3, has been received by

BOER MINES TO OPEN UP BOON.
Industry in Transvaal May Be Re
sumed Shortly.
JOHANNESBURG, April 7.—A
meeting of the Chamber of Mines, the
first since the beginning of the war,
lias been held here. The president

fhat it was greatly due to General

half the mining industry would be
ill operation and that before many
months full working would be resum
ed.

little progress. It is expected, how
ever, that Mr. Schalkburger and his
colleagues on the mission will shortly
leave here for a more convenient cen
ter from which to conduct the negotia

Ctate Board of Equalization Ready for
Assessments.
LINCOLN. Neb., April 7.—The Ctatr
Eoard of Equalization will meet next
month to make the annual assessment
of railroad, telegraph and telephone
property for purposes of taxation.
The law requires the work to be com
pleted on or before May 15, or as
soon thereafter as a majority of the
board shall have made and determin
ed the valuation of the property of
the various companies.
Several reports on valuations have
already been received at the auditor's
office, but with one exception they
show no material change from the fig
ures of last year. The St. Joseph &
Grand Island railroad was assessed
last year on a valuation of $583,485,
wrile this year the valuation, as re
turned by the company, is $445,190.
It is shown by the report that only
a portion of the rolling stock of the
company is Included in the list of tax
able property, the stock being divided
as to Nebraska in proportion to the
mileage within the state. Last year
all of the rolling stock was assessed
by thr. board .

year the standard cars were assessed
at a valuation of $99,041.53, and the
tourist cars at $7,621.49.
THE RHEA MURDER CASE.
A Grave Question Comes Up for Con
sideration.
LINCOLN, Neb.. April 7.—The ac
tion of the supreme court on Rhea’s
motion for a rehearing has left open
for dispute the grave question of
whether or not a man committing mur
der during the perpetration of a rob
bery can be convicted of murder in
the first degree. Rhea, with other
men, entered a saloon in Snyder. Neb.,
and demanded all persons therein to
throw up their hands. One of the
trio then rifled the cash register of
its contents and during the commis
sion of the robbery Rhea shot and
killed Herman Zahn, the keeper of
the place. A third man remained on
the sidewalk in front of the saloon
and participated in the robbery by
preventing the bartender from escap
ing through the window. The evi
dence, it was maintained by the
state’s attorneys, showed conclusively
that robbery was Intended.
The statute under which Rhead was
convicted and sentenced to be exe
cuted was severely questioned as to
the provision which was held by the
attorneys for the state to provide for
conviction in the first degree where it
was shown that the murder was com
mitted during the commission of a
robbery. The contention was support
ed by Judges Sullivan and Holcomb.
In a memorandum filed by Judge
Sedgwick the opposite position is tak
en. The expression of Judge Sedg
wick will be one of the grounds upon
which the plea for executive clem
ency will be made.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle—There was not an over-supply of
cattle for this time of the week, but
puckers failed to take hold with as much
life as usual and a slow, weak market re
sulted. Sellers were not willing to take
off much from yesterday's prices, and as
a result it was late before the pens were
cleared. A good proportion of the offer
ings consisted of beef steers, and the
quality was exceptionally good. In fact,
some of the salesmen considered the qual
ity the best today of any dav this year.
Buyers started in from the first to pound
the market and were bidding fully a dime
lower than yesterday, and In some cases
more. Cow stuff was in as good demand
as ever and sold at fully steady prices.
The better grades in particular com
manded fully steady prices, and in some
cases sales were made that looked higher.
There was not enough change in the
prices paid for bulls, veal calves and
stags to be worthy of mention. Stockers
and feeders of good quality sold freely at
steady prices, as compared with yester
day. but the common kinds, and espe
cially common stockers, were as much of
a drug on the market as ever, and prices
were certainly no more than steady.
Hogs—There was a fairly active demand
for good weight hogs, and the market on
such kinds was steady to strong. The
light hogs, however. wTere rather slow
sale, and If anything were a shade lower
than yesterday. The range of piices was
not much different from yesterday, andi
the bulk of all the sales went from $6.65
to $5.75. Heavy hogs sold largely from
$6.70 to $6.80. and as high as $6.85 walk
l>aid. The medium weights went from
$6.65 to $6.70. while the lighter loads sold
from $6.65 down. The bulk of the offer
ings was disposed of in good season.
Sheep—There was not a heavy run of
sheep and lambs and packers took hold
auite freely and bought up what wras on
sale at very satisfactory prices. I^ambs
in particular sold well and If anything
were a little higher than yesterday. As
^iigh as $6.70 was paid for some Colorados,
which looked higher than yesterday’s
narket. Sheep and yearlings mixed of
>nly fair quality sold up to $5.65, and
‘wps brought $5.15. Clipped yearlings sold
is high as $5.50.
