Zatsrrspts Sundsr Morning Servioes In Omaha, March 20. The appearance of a crank in Trinity cathedral during services Sunday morning caused a flurry of excitement that for a moment threatened a panic. A woman screamed and fainted. Several of the moro timid members of Bishop Worthingtoa's con- J gregation left their pews and started for j she exits.' - " The crank was W. M. Kilmer, author of a pamphlet on the "Origin and De scent of Man." The intruder deposited an armful of , pamphlets on the com munion table and, turning, faced the congregation.

John Shannahan v is free. 1 He was called from behind jail bars yesterday and an officer told him to go his way. It Came about through a decision of Judge Baker, to the effect ; that Shannahan was entitled to a new hsaring, he having recently been con victed of manslaughter. The' motion was argued several days ago and Judge Baker took the matter under advise ment. "Vyhen ' the county attorney heard the decision he announced that he wonld not prosecute further, that he saw no probability or securing convic tion and thai he would end the matter immediately by, giving Shannahan his liberty. . Shannaaan , is , the South Omaha saloonkeeper who shot and killed Ed Callahan and Ed Joyco in hi place of business last July. DINSMORE TO HANG IN JULY ' Judge Salllvsn Passes Sentence Upon the Coadeinsed Men. Lexington; ffeb., March 22. Judge Sullivan overruled the motion for a new trial in the Dinsmore murder case yesterday. He then ordered the pris- oner to stand up, and propounded the usual question as to why sentence should not be pronounced. . ' Dinsmore answered in a firm voice, ,I am absolutely innocent. Judge Sullivan repliod: "You may be innocent,- but you have ' had a fair and imjxuuiu mu. eurrjr i the jury did not fix the penalty at life - imprisonment instead of death, which is a reflection on civilization, I behave the evidence warrants a verdict ; of guilty." He then sentenced him to be hanged in the jail of Dawson county, July 20, 1900. The prisoner was then handcuffed and returned to the Buff.ilo county jail for safekeeping. DEMURRER IS OVERRULED.

Snubbed by John Dull. ' (Special Washington Letter.! ; It is really. astounding to observe the facility with which Republicans fall afoul of each other these days. They quarrel and abuse each oj: after the manner of flshwomen about anything from a great national policy to a mat ter of $500 on an appropriation bill. It must be a sense of Impending calama ties tbat makes ' them so irritable and belligerent. , The other day Senator Galllnger of New Hampshire and Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania had ah uproarious time in the senate, practically called each other liars and made motions as If they seriously meditated pulling each other's hair, scratching each oth ers face, smashing each otner s pro- i)oscjg Some lingering remnant of re- er's throat. The boue of contention Was the odoriferous Quay case a case in which Pious Jchn Wanamaker ap- pears to be getting decidedly the worst of It. Now, John is a great re former no doubt. He is zealous in the good cau&eT but John's zeal outruns his discretion, lie will learn after awhile that the Republican, party can only be reformed by being destroyed. When he gets that Idea thoroughly Into bis noddle, he will Join the Democrats and help put his old political confreres to the sword for bis country's good. Just about the same hour in which Senators Oallinger and Penrose were f threatening to mAUl " each other Into pulp Representative George W, Ray, whole hog Republican of New York, ran amuck on the venerable General Grout, whole bog Republican from Ver mont.' The' venerable Green Mountain er had brought in a philanthropic ap propriation . bill for educating criminal and semicrimlual colored boys of Washington., which bill Kay character ized as a , steal. Under pressure he changed his charge of "steal" so as to read, "The provision may permit what may be called a steal." but that he first 'charged that It was a "steal" can be established beyond question. This thawed General Grout out, and for about half an hour the hall of repre sentatives . was full of hair, fur and bits of cuticle which Messrs. Grout and Ray, both Republicans, tore off each other, very much to the edifica tion of listeners, observers and ' by standers. Grout was trying to have a Professor Hart paid $210 a head for taking care of these negro boys. Ray wanted to cut the amount down. John Allen of .Mississippi finally jumped Ray. Thus we witnessed the spectacle of a New York Republican kicking to keep money from being appropriated for the benefit of nigger boys and Al len, an ex-rebel, a Democratic con gressman, advocating tbe appropria tion. Selah! , ; , Let us turn from the disgusting spec tacle of Republican senators and con gressmen hurling criminations and re criminations at each other over a ques tion of spoils to something more edify ing " ' ' ' . ' ' . A Rising? Voona; Statesman. - Every sort of speech Imaginable was made In the-bor.se In the Porto Rican debate great speeches, brilliant h hvirnl Rnpoohes IlloCrionl BPeecJies 10'cai "peecues. mogicai speeches commonplace speeches and one speech which came near defeating Its author for renomlnation and was dubbed; by bis constituents "that fool speech." U vwns delivered by a Repub lican who endeavored to play the role of "smart Aleck and only succeeded In doing for himself what the Immor tal Dogberry ordered his clerk to do for him "wrote himself down an ass." Among the great speeches was one by Robert I Ilenry of Texas, popu larly called Bob Henry. ' It Ja al ways, refreshing and uplifting for a Democrat to see or think of Texan. The mammoth and magnificent com monwealth which boasts of tbe Alamc . lm San Jacinto, whose soil was enrich- r(j or tue isiood or Bowie. Davy crocK- rtt and bid Sam Houston. Is one of the plories of the republic. " She has a won. ilerful atTay of mighty men. and. God be praised, they are nearly all Demo crats. , And they are . real Democrats, the genuine article, none of your milk and cider, hide and seek, limber legged Democrats, but men who know what they want and are not mealy mouthed nbcut saying It. - Texas has one of tbe strongest delegations In congress. " big. st rapping fellows physically, with bushels of brains In their heads. : Bail ey's fame la worldwide, but Texas has several others who hoe a big row. Among these is Bob Henry. Tart of my pleasure in these letters is to Intro dace to my readers the coming men In public life, especially the coming Dem ocrats. Bob Henry Is a good man to watch. Tie la coming. Indeed be baa already arrived on the field, armed cap- a-pie like tbe knights of old. lie la growing, and growing rapidly. He has every" qualification necessary for a great career in the house brails, learning. Industry, studious habits, courage both moral and physical. In tegrity of character, correct political principles. . a luminous style, a com manding presence and a voice clear. powerful and well modulated. I, wish I had space to quote his speech, on the rorto Rico tariff entire. ' Those who desire to understand that vexed ques tion ought to send to him and get It, for It ' Is a masterpiece. It was en thusiastically applauded by Democrats and conceded by Republicans to be a very fine presentation of our views. It puts Mr. Henry In the front rank of parliamentary orators. I predict that If he remains In congress he will soon be one of the favorites of the national Democracy. ' : ;,";." ' " The atrnnsre Case of Mr. McKlnley. The woeful and disgraceful plight In which the Republican party finds itself the president recommending one thing, the house of representatives do ing precisely the opposite on the same subject and claiming to be doing the wui or tue president must : ue taken and accepted as the most inexplicable phenomenon of our times.8 If Mr. Mc- Kinley does not look out, he will come o be known as "the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' of our politics, : In my opinion the Washington Post is the best political weahfer indicator In existence. It is not a slavish party organ. It believes In goldbuesrery. high protective tariff and Philippine expansion. , It is rich. Independent and capable. It is personally fond of President McKinley and. until very re cently, believed Implicitly that he was as much a man of destiny as Napoleon believed himself to be before . Water loo. Therefore what The Post says, which Is not laudatory of the presi dent, comes with the force of a pile driver.. In a very carefully written and mournful editorial, headed ; "Mr. McKlnley's Opportunity," The Post says: ; So far as the country now knows, ao far aa The Post knows, so far as any authentic utterance warrants the humblest citizen in believing, ths president still stands upon tbe declaration con tained in his message and advocates free trade for Porto Rico, lie made that declaration so de liberately and based it upon such a solemn and persuasive array of facts the 'whole country re sponded to bis Overture with fervor and sincerity. If he has chsuged hia mind dace then, if any of this agitation in congrera lor a tariff against Porto Rico has his encouragement and sanction. the American people do not know it and have no reason to believe it. - Tbat something has occurred: that some pres sure has been brought to bear to launch congress upon a course which, three months ago, it would not have dreamed of taking, must be evident to the most careless observer of public events. As a matter of fact, we see the president's closest and most enthusiastic Supporters urarina: this tariff bill. We are aware we could not ienore it if we would tbat tbey are using every possible influ ence to obtain support tor ft ujasure which Mr. licKinley In his message denounced by implica tion as sa Injustice and a breach 'of faith.' The spectacle presented to the country Is baffling. and conrufiing ana , mysterious r beyond measure. .The masses wish to stand by Mr. McKinley. who has won tBeir entire respect nd confidence, ani yet they are confronted by a situation which involves bis notorious champions and spokesmen In an or ganized hostility to what they had supposed, on the strength of his own deliberate announcement, to be his personal desire and conviction. What are Mr. llcKinley'e supporters, the loyal Republican masses of tbe nation, to Infer? Aro they to take his word, as he proclaimed it last December, or are they to assume that Mr. Lodge and Mr. Smith, th postmaster genera), are au thorized to represent him as having changed hi mindT It la perfectly evident that members of the house have voted for the tariff bill against their wishes and convictions. It is notorious tbat the house. If permitted td reconsider its former action, free from all compulsion and duro. would defeat the tariff by an overwhelming ma jority. Everybody knows that senate Republicans. having heard from home meanwhile, are strongly disposed and frankly anxious to bsstow free trade on Porto Rico. What. then, is the meaning of this extraordinary complication t How ta It that tbe country cannot understand the seeming in congruity, and why does not the president at ones relieve hia friends and satisfy the people by giving out. upon his own responsibility, a state ment that will set all doubts at restr He enjoys the affection and the confidence of the country. If be has changed his mind about Porto Rico and will give the reasons for that recantation, his fellow cltieena will still believe in his sincerity and cherish him in their affec tions. If he has amended his views; it, after de manding free trade for Porto Rico, he now insists upon a I art ff, he has only to make candid ac knowledgment of the fact and thereby retain the respect and confidence of the country. He owes this to himself, to his supporters and to the American people, lit can loss nothing by paying the debt, , , If 1 or another Democrat had written that scathing article for it Js scathing, though written more in sorrow than in anger it might be attributed more to political antagonism than to anything else, but let it not be forgotten tbat it appears as the leading editorial in a grea,t daily, which up till the fateful, perhaps fatal, tlay When the president began, to wabble on the Porto. Bican question was one of his stanch est and most valorous supporters. ; But Tbe Post, keeping its finger constantly on the public pulse and Its ear habitually to the ground, know what's what It sees the Republican party In general and its favorite. President McKinley, in particular, headed for the breakers. It Is trying Its best to turn tbem back. That's oil. ' Clgorlng on Xeit Ronse, v Democratic prospects are growing so bright that no one hears any prophecy loucbtng the next bouse except that the Democrats will have It by a hand some majority, To show how easily tbey can do the trick one gentleman with n turn for arithmetic gives these fitrures. showing, by -what narrow mar gins several of -our Republican breth ren hold their seats: . . .

And there are others equal ly gool for missionary work. When Republicans remember how Repub lican majorities of 12,000 I and 14,. 000 . ; In 1S96 were, converted , Into Democratic majorities in 189S and hear! the cussing how going on about the Hay-Pauncerote treaty, the Porto Rican bill, etc., they have a bad case of the mulligrubs. - ' " . v - (- "The Blajorttr Growinsr. -With flaming headlines, printed In type nearly as large as that tised In circus f posters. The Globe-Democrat, thick and ' thin Republican organ, an nounces that 'the-majority? Is- grow ing"" In the house of representatives 1. c, - the Republican majority Tho G.sD. Is gleeful over this phenomenon. "The majority Is growing," quoth . The G.-D. "My bank account Is growing." says the burglar after a successful night of housebreaking. .The princi ple underlying the two performances Is precisely the same theft. Hog steal ing for some' reason is accounted the most disgraceful species of larceny, and yet. the Washington Post remark ed recently that there is no appreciable difference between the moral status of him who purloins a ham and of him who steals a seat In congress!.' The Globe-Democrat then joyfully recounts how the Republicans started in with a majority of .13, bow they have . In creased It to 18 and how they have "a further Increase In sight in the near future." Yet this Is the party that howls about virtue, purity and patriot Ism L' : 1 j f-v : The fact that the Democratic nation al convention is to be held in magnifi cent Missouri and on the 4tb day of July has engendered great enthusiasm among the rank and file, Snubbed tle Administration. It was really Impolite, unneighborly and cruel In Lord Salisbury to snub President McKinley and Secretary of State Colonel John Hay when they were attempting to make a flank move ment on the pro-Boer sentiment of this gloyviug and gorgeous republic and to thus make them the laughing stock of men, and angels. He might have let them , dowu easier. Considering how the administrative heart has been yearning for Johnny Bull, the noble lord might ' at least have used more diplomatic language. Then they would hot have struck the cold, cold ground with a dull, sickening thud. It Is a 1.0C0 to l.Khot that had Br'er McKin ley and Br'or Hay tendered their kind offer of .'mediation just after the battle of Modder River 'or the slaughter at Spioq Kop Lord Salisbury would have accepted it. for Mr. Bull was of a con trite heart then.' That was the time to have : operated effectively on his tym panum. -He would have been ready to accept almost any old charice of escape from '4 a disgraceful i and galling situa tion. If I had then had the ear of the administration which I regret to say I have not I would have shouted Into Its auricular appendage? "Carpe diem! Seise the, day!" . ' .;When.Iohn was the under dog In the fight and, was getting woefully chewed up, our. smiling president, and his amia ble secretary of state were dumb as oysters, ,;'They lifted not a finger, they opened iot their imouths in behalf of as brave a people 'as ever fought ' for liberty. ;. Wherefore so silent? Because if pence ..had; beep made then the terms must have been ex necessitate in favor of Uom Paul and his heroic burghers; but after Lord Field Marshal Roberts gained his great (?) victory of 16 to I. the tables ;were turned. John had the advantage; if peace came the termr thereof must, favor him therefore Mr McKinley and his premier concluded that they could kill two birds with one stone please the- English, don t you know, and at tbe same time make a grand stand play to the galleries at home by, tendering their, services as In termediators but Mr, Bull is perhaps the most intensely selfish ' creature under the sun. So, having his appe tite whetted for blood and his lust for gold and diamonds being excited to an abnormal : degree by his proximity to the richest mines under heaven, he curtly, rudely, unceremoniously j and outrageously told Messrs. McKinley and ; Hay to go about their business and that.be would not be interfered with In his delectable task of murder ing the two' little, weak, heroic repub lics. So our worthy diplomats have been given the horse laugh by the civi lized world. But only think bow much they had done to earn better treatment from Mr. Bull. Item, neglect to secure reparation for seizure of our flour: itemHay-Pauncefote treaty, by which we-get -John's consent to spend $1B0, 000.000 digging a canal, which we are not to fortify and which John Is to use in peace and in war; Item, bouncing Macrum for getting bis back up be cause John opened our official corre spondence and censored It, Having done these self abasing things out of love and affection for "John he played them a. scurvy trick not to show them better manners at least.' L . Another Straw. v '"-'';.' No English alliance on tbe tapis, eh? How: does It come. then, that' nothing can be done in congress which has even the appearance of asserting our own rights against ;England? Mr. Sulzer Introduced this resblution: Resolved. That the secretary of war. is hereby 'directed to inform the house of representatives at. early ( possible what fortifications Great Britain is erecting, rn'nrtrnctinjf and completing along the northern frontier of the, United States, espe cially .at Puget sound and other places on the Pacific ocean contiguous to the state ot Washing ton nd the district of Alaska. - " j Did Sulzer get his Information? "Nit.'V Mr, Chairman Hull reported it back to He u:ou the table, and bis mo tion ' or ' rr-port prevailed by a strict party vote on roll call, and Sulzer got no Information, but he made a redhot speech. Really. Sulzer ought to be In dieted for leze majesty." He Is likely to disturb the entente cordiale betwtat as and Mr, Bull, don't you know? : , . CERTIFICATE OF FU2LISATIC!!
