NO ACTION AS YET
RECIPROCITY BILL WILL NOT
COME UP THIS SESSION.
EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
That Body Might Be Called Together
Shortly After the November Elec
tion—Work for This Week Will Be
Devoted to Odds and Ends.
WASHINGTON, June 23—The ses
sions of the senate during the present
week will be devoted to odds and ends
of legislation. It was the purpose of
the republican steering committee to
make the Cuban reciprocity bill the
order of business after the disposition
of the interoceanic eanal bill, but the
two republican conferences have rend
ered It evident that there would be no
reciprocity legislation this session, so
the steering committee has abandoned
its purpose.
Some interest is manifested in the
notice Senator Quay has given that to
morrow he would call up his motion
for the discharge of tae committee on
territories from further consideration
of the omnibus statehood bill in order
to secure action on it during the pres
ent session, but the understanding now
is that he will not press hfs motion
and that the question will go over
until the next session of congress in
obedience to the wish of the republi
can leaders. Senator Bate, however,
has stated that if Senator Quay does
not press his motion he (Bate) will
move to have the committee dis
charged and the bill taken up. This
uiuuon wuuiu uring me question up,
but coming from the minority side of
the chamber it would be predestined
to defeat, as it Is understood there are
very few if any republican senators
who will support such a motion if
made by a democratic senator. On
Tuesday the senate will take up, in
obedience to the wish of Senator Bur
ton, the bill creating a national forest
reserve in tne Southern Apalashlan
mountain range, but the understanding
Is that consideration of the measure
shall bo continued to one day. Wed
nesday Senator McCumber will be
heard in support of the pure food bill,
but consideration of the question under
agreement will be confined to a speech
by the senator, and there will be no
effort at that time to pass the bill.
Senator Stewart’s bill confirming the
agreement with the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indians is the unfinished
business and it is understood to be
Mr. Stewart's purpose to press its con
sideration when there is no more high
ly privileged matter to be considered.
Senator Penrose today will report
the general immigration bill and it is
understood that he will make stren
uous efforts to have the measure con
sidered during the week, or at least
before the final adjournment of con
gress.
For the rest of the week will be
given over to conference reports on
appropriation bills and other measures
In dispute between the two houses.
It Is possible that the Cuban com
mittee will report the reciprocity bill
before adjournment, but if it should
do so there will be no effort to secure
action on it in view of the well known
opposition of a large part of the sen
ate.
Cudahy Says No Combine.

have heard all about this alleged com
bination between Armour, Swift, Mor
ris, Hammond and the rest, and I give
my word that if the packers contem
plate such action I know nothing of
it.”

CAUSE OF THE UNITED WORKERS.
President Mitchell Issues an Address
to the Public.
WILKERBARRE, Pa., June 23.—
President John Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America yesterday
issued an address to the public for
publication in the newspapers this
morning. It is partly a reply to the
letters of the operators declining to ac
cede to the demands of the union
which were published about ten days
ago.
Briefly summarized, the address says
that every possible means was resort
ed to in the effort to prevent the
strike, claims that the cost of living
has increased to the point where the
miner was compelled to ask for high
er wages; denies the allegation of the
operators that the productive capacity
of the mine workers has fallen off,
but on the other band has increased;
quotes official figures to substantiate
the contention that the employers can
pay higher wages without increasing
the cost of coal to the consumer; as
serts that the coal carrying railroads,
which control about 85 per cent of the
mines, absorb the protfis of the coal
companies by charging exorbitant
freight rates, claiming that a ton at
the mines means anywhere form
2,740 to 3,190 pounds instead of 2,240
and says that more men are killed and
injured in the anthracite mines of
Pennsylvania annually than were kill
ed or wounded during the Spanish
American war.
The address also says that in the
event the union is crushed which it
adds also is not likely, a new organiza
tion would rise from its ruins. It con
| eludes with an appeal for arbitration
of all questions in dispute.

| INSANITY PLEA OF NO AVAIL.
Court Affirms Sentence of Twenty
Years in Case of Schwartz.
LINCOLN, Neb., June 23.—Charles
F. Schwartz of Pawnee county was
3ome time ago sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary for improper
relations with his own daughter, 17
years of age. The unfortunate, moth
erless girl became a mother, and as
an excuse for his crime the father
pleaded insanity. His defense was of
no avail, declared the supreme court
in affirming the lower court's decision.
In the opinion, by Chief Justice Sulli
van, appears the following:
“The story is a shocking one and
cannot be read without a painful
shrinking of pride in humanity.
Schwartz was a witness in his own
behalf. The defense was a denial of
the facts charged and a plea of in
sanity. His testimony is not convinc
ing, but is perfectly coherent. It is
a flat denial of the alleged misconduct,
together with a recital of facts tending
to show that he was insane. On the
defense of insanity he is somewhat
supported by expert medical testi
mony,, but we are, nevertheless, well
satisfied that the conclusion reached
by the jury was warranted by the evi
dence and should be approved.
“Capacity to comprehend the nature
and moral quality of an act determines
criminal responsibility. There is no
safe or other practical test. It is en
tirely certain that the defendant in
this case did not have a well balanced
mind. He had an inherited tendency
toward insanity and had in past years
received treatment in a hospital for
insane. It seems that he at times
had illusions and delusions, but these
were not in any way connected with
less fears and heard voices in the air,
but it was not in consequence of these
that he debauched his daughter. It
may be conceded that his mental pow
ers were impaired and his conscience
blunted by disease, but that does not
render him legally irresponsible. If
he understood what he was doing and
knew it was wrong and deserved pun
ishment the obligation to control his
conduct and keep within the law was
absolute. Having this degree of men
tal capacity, he cannot allege the
sway of turbulent passion as an ex
cuse for crime.”
LOSES ARM AND PERHAPS LIFE.
Well Known Attorney of North Bend
Meets with Accident.
FREMONT, Neb., June 23.—D. M.
Strong, an attorney of North Bend,
and one of the oldest settlers of
Dodge county, lost his left arm in a
railroad accident at Valley, and sus
tained internal injuries from which he
cannot survive.
He was going home from the re
publican convention at Lincoln over
the Union Pacific railroad on a freight
train by way of Valley, and was stand
ing on the front end of the caboose
at Valley when the slack of cars being
coupled together ahead on the train
precipitated him between the caboose
and the next car, the wheels then pass
ing over his arm before he could ex
tricate himself. He was placed in the
caboose and brought to the Fremont
hospital as rapidly as possible.
His injuries are believed to be fa
tal. Mr. Strong is about 65, and has
been a resident of Dodge county for
over forty years, and was one of the
earliest sheriffs. For some years he
was a prominent figure in the prohi
bition party, having run for state of
fices on that party ticket.

Nebraska crop bulletin.
Hot Weather and Plenty of Moiiture
Brings Good Results.
The last Nebraska crop bulletin
says: The past week has been warm,
with heavy showers; very favorable
for the growth of vegetation. The
daily mean temperature has averaged
4 degrees above normal in the east
ern counties and 7 degrees above in
western.
The rain has been very unequally
distributed; it has occurred in the
form of showers and the amount of
rainfall had ranged from less than a
quarter of an inch to more than three
inches.
In some localities heavy showers
have done slight damage by washing
corn, lodging wheat and oats, or flood
ing the lowlands. Generally, however,
crops of all kinds have made a fine
growth the past week, except in a
few extreme western counties, where
rain is needed. Winter wheat is be
ginning to ripen and a few fields in
the southeastern counties nave been
cut; winter wheat now promises to
be a large crop, except in a few
southern counties, where it will be
somewhat below average in yield.
Oats have made a rank growth and
are heading; many fields are weedy,
and in a few oats are lodging slightly,
but generally the prospect for a crop
is much improved. Corn has grown
well and and the fields are generally
clear of weeds, although cultivation
has been retarded somewhat by the
rains of the week. The present pros
pect is for a good crop of hay.
