BILLS FOR PUBLIC LAND LEGISLATION.
Washington, D. C (Special.) The
senate public lands committee favor
ably reported Senator Bard's bill au
thorizing the secretary of the interior to
grant rights of way across the public
domain, through forest and other res
ervations and all national parks, save
Yellowstone, for construction cf dams,
reservoirs, canals, for irrigation, min
ing, manufacturing, power, public wa
ter supply and domestic purposes, also
rights of way for telegraph and tele
phone lines, for trails and wagon roads,
these rights of way to include all nec
essary lands for the purposes speci
fied. The privileges granted by ths
bill shall not be construed as interfer
ing with the control of water for irri
gation or other purposes under the
authority of any Htate or territory.
The house public lands committee
considered Representative Miller's bill
authorizing land-grant railroads now
holding alternate sections of land re
ceived from the government to consol
idate their holdings by relinquishing
title to half of the holdings and ac
quiring In their stead lands adjoining
sections retained. The bill In modified
form has been Indorsed by the secre
tary of the Interior and Is strongly
urged by western congressmen. Rail
road companies claim that under the
prevailing checkerboard system they
cannot lease their lands advantageous
ly because stockmen acquiring the
privilege of their use are now prohib
ited by the department from fencing
any but the leased sections. Under a
former ruling the lessees of railroad
lands were allowed to fence not only
the' leased areas, but the Intervening
sections of government land. When
this practice was stopped it greatly de
creased the value of railroad lands as
private pastures.

his address touched upon the question
of organized capital and organized la
bor, declaring emphatically that he
stood for the union of both when the
united power is organized for the good
of the world, but pointed out that un
trammeled power for selfish Interests
will not be exercised for the good of
the people.
Governor Cummins declared the gov
ernment must lay Its hands on the
combinations of cardial and restrain
them within such limits as will permit
the gratification of ambition, the glory
of success, the tonic of profit, and, on
the other side, protect the weak against
aggressions and Impositions from
which, save by the mighty hand of the
government, they cannot escape.
RELIEF FOR THE BRAVE BOERS.

Utter to the Boers, praising them for

the country.
The matter of bringing the men to
their farms is one of difficulty. At

HOLDS ALL
BONDSMEN.

Only On Point of Paot to Snttla,
That hi Whotkor Oof ale at ion Oc
currod first or Sooond Ton.
Uncoil), Neb (Special.) The u
preme court has delivered an opinion
in which it It held that if the shortage
of former Treasurer Bartley occurred
during his second term of office all ot
the six bondsmen, against whom pro
ceedings by the state are now pending,
are liable for the full amount claimed
by the state. These bondsmen are;
W. A. Paxton, Thomas Swobe, Cadet
Taylor, C. C. McNish, E. E. Brown
and John H. Ames. The case is re
manded to the district court of Doug
las county with Instructions for an
other trial, at which the only question
or Issue to be considered Is whether or
not the defalcation occurred during
the second term, or in whole or in part
during the first term. It is ordered
by the court that if the defalcation oc
cuired during the last term the defend
ants are liable. The amount claimed
by the state Is approximately J6O0.0O0.
The opinion in this case Is by Com
mlrsioner Roscoe Pound, the junior
member of the court commission. It is
an exhaustive treatise on all ques
tions brought before the tribunal in
this action and is one of the largest
handed down in recent years. Com
missioner J. B. Barnes concurs in the
finding, but Commissioner Oldham
takes no part, having appeared once
as counsel In the case In the capacity
of deputy attorney general.
SATISFACTORY TO STATE.
"The decision is decidedly satisfac
tory to the state," said Attorney Gen
eral Prout. "It means that the state
will recover a judgment against all of
the bondsmen who were defendants in
this action. There Is but one issue left
for consideration, and that Is whether
or not the shortage occurred during
the first or second term of the treas
urer. "The court holds that the records of
the settlement at the end of Hartley s
first term are prima facie evidence
that there was no shortage at the end
of the first term. This being establish
ed, the burden Is on the bondsmen to
khow that the shortage was In the first
term. If the shortage was In the first
term none of these six bondsmen would
be liable under the bond in question.
If the shortage was in the second term,
all would be liable. If we hold one we
hold all.
"The only way now by which the
bondsmen can be released is for Bart
ley to go on the stand and testify that
the shortage occurred during the first
term, but he will hardly do that, as
his own sworn report, made at the
end of his first term, showed that his
accounts were square at that time.
"The case will be tried again in th?
district court of Douglas .county and
before a jury. Thr Is simply the
question of fact to be-determlned, and,
as I said before, the burden is on the
bondsmen."
The case has been three times before
the supreme court. In the first trial In
the district court a decision was given
in favor of the bondsmen. That Judg
ment was later reversed by the su
preme court and the case remanded.
At the second trial In the district court
the finding was In favor of the state,
but this Judgment was also reversed
and the case again remanded.
At the third and last trial of the case
In the district court a judgment was
given releasing W. A. Paxton, Cadet
Taylor and Thomas Swobe, and holding
E. E. Brown, C. C. McNish ana John
It. Ames liable. Tne slate appealed as
to Paxton, Swobe and Taylor, while
Brown, McNish and Ames appealed as
to the state. In the supreme court the
two branches of the case were Joined
and argued at one time. There were
several other bondsmen originally, but
all, excepting the six now appearing as
defendants, were released upon various
grounds,
VOLCANOES' MENACE NICARA6UAN CANAL
Washington, D. C (Special.) In il
lustration of his speech, and to com
bat the assertions of Senator Morgan
that there is no danger to be feared
from volcanoes on, the Nlcaraguan ca
nal route. Senator Hanna, In the sen
ale, produced a map, prepared by the
Isthmian canal committee, showing the
active and presumably dead volcanoos
In the Isthmian territory, from Mexico
to Colombia and Venezuela.
Altogether there are In Costa Rica
ten active and ten dead ones, and In
Honduras and Guatemala nineteen act
ive and twenty-eight dead ones. Hanna
proposes to dwell on the fact that the
supposedly dead volcanoes are, never
theless, a constant menace, as proven
by the recent eruptions of Mount Pelee
In Martinique and la Soufrlere In St.
Vincent, both of which had long sup
posed to be dead.
On the route of the Panama, cannl
there Is not a single volcano, either
active or dead.

KS SIFT FM IXSJ UTCwEKEl.
London. (Special.) In accordance
with King Edward's message to the
house of commons, the government
leader, A. J. Balfour, asked for a vote
of 1200,000 to Lord Kitchener. Aa a
remarkable Coincidence, Parliament,
on this day three years ago, voted its
thanks and $110,000 to the same general
for his services in Egypt.
Mr. Balfour, in supporting the mo
tion, referred to Lord Kitchener's rapid
promotion. He said it bad been given
to few public servants to compaaa so
much work for their country in so
short a time as Lord Kitchener, who,
besides being commander In chief in
South Africa, was commander-in-chief
of India. He found the army in South
Africa in a state of - disorganization,,
consequent upon the ill-success which
attended the British army at the early
stage of the campaign ,and he exe
cuted his duty with admirable energy
and skill. But it was not till Lord
Roberts left that the claims of Lord
Kitchener on his countrymen reached
their present magnitude. Lord Kitch
ener had to meet with unique difficul
ties. He had erected no fewer than
4,000 blockhouses and in the conduct
of the campaign had shown the fertile
range qt his resources, bound by cour
age and resolution, and to these quali
ties Great Britain owed the termina
tion of the war. Few English generals
had contended- with greater difficulties
and emerged from them in a more tri
umphant and brilliant way. Mr. Bal
four concluded with formally moving
the vote of J200.000.
The liberal leader, Sir Henry Camp-bell-Bannerman,
who seconded the mo
lion, paid a warm tribute to Lord
Kitchener, as a soldier and a states
man. FOR NEBRASKA FORESTRY RESERVE.

Yale college, will survey these reserva
tions and make a plan for planting

WILL NOT FIGHT THE INJUNCTION.
New York. (Special.) A., B. Board
man of counsel of the meat packers
against whom Justice Chester at Al
bany granted an injunction, is quoted
In the Tribune as saying:
"We shall not attempt to vacate this
injunction. The order means that each
packer will henceforth carry on his
business independently of every other
packer and will not consult credits and
price lists of other firms before pre
paring his own. No attempt, direct or
Indirect, open or secret, will be made
to violate the court's order. The pack
ers will, of course, continue business.
The restraining order concerned only
their managers, agents, attorneys and
servants from fixing and determining
by a combination the prices to be
charged and the regulation of the
amount of meat to be brought by them
Into this state."
Not long ago Judge Grosscup of the
Cnlted States court granted an In
junction in Chicago. This order was
issued to packers and their agents
throughout the country. No attempt
has been made to vacate that injunc
tion. THE OUSTER ORDER IS SET ASIDE.
Jefferson City, Mo (Special.) The
supreme court, sitting en banc, In the
suit against the packers set aside the
orde.' of ouster Issued against the
Schwarzchlld & Sulzberger company
and suspended the case of that com
pany that it might comply with the
state corporation laws. The company
will now plead In the regular way and
the question ot ouster and fine will be
determined later by the court.
After the ouster order was Issued by
the, court," the company attempted to
file Its New York articles of Incorpora
tion and have a license Issued, but At
torney General Crow protested and
Secretary of State Cook refused to Is
sue certificate of authority to do busi
ness In this state. Then the company
Incorporated anew under the name of
the S. & 8. Beef and Provision com
pany of Kansas City. The supreme
court granted the packers three days
In which to file their returns in ouster
suit. This Includes the Schwarzchlld
& Sulzberger company.

VOLCANO
RUINS CITY.
Crater of Mount Tacoma Buries Retalbulcn.
Guatemala, Under Mass of Lava.
Town Which Stood at Foot of Mount
ain is Completly Destroyed by
the Eruption.
San Francisco, Cal. (Special.) An
other city in Central America has suf
fered almost complete destruction and
hundreds of its inhabitants have been
killed by volcanic eruptions.
The steamer Palena, which arrived
here from southern ports, brings the
news that the town of Retalbulen, sit
uated at the foot of Mount Tacona, In
Guatemala, has been buried under a
mass of lava, stones, and ashes thrown
from the volcanic crater and probably
1,000 of its people have perished.
The volcano is about twenty-five
miles from Champanico, and near the
town of Tapachulo, which, It is be
lieved, also suffered severely. The erup
tion occurred several days before the
Pelena arrived at Champanico. The
vessel's officers were informed by the
agent of the Pacific Steam Navigation
company at that place that the vol
cano had shown signs of the impend
ing eruption for several days previous
to the outbreak. In fact, Mount Ta
cona had been restless ever since the
great earthquake of April 18, which
destroyed the city of Quezaltenango.
For weeks a black pall of smoke hung
over its summit, and the glare from
the crater frequently illuminated the
sky.
Many of the inhabitants of Retalbu
len fled from their homes to places of
safety and these escaped frightful
deaths. When the eruption at last
broke forth In its full fury showers of
lava, ashes and stones were ejected
and covered the country for miles
around. The bay of Champanico was
a mass of floating pumice and ashes.
No details were obtainable by the of
ficers of the Palena, but the loss of life
was estimated at not less than 1,000.
The same steamer brought a letter to
Balfour, Guthrie & Co., agents of the
Pacific Coast Steamship company, from
G. M. Mellville, their agent in Guate
mala, confirming the report of the
eruption. He also stated that since
the earthquake of April 18 shocks had
been of almost daily occurrence. A few
days before the Palena sailed a email
village near Mount Tacona was de
stroyed, but no details could be ob
tained. The volcano of Santa Maria is also
said to have been in a state of erup
tion. GENERAL CRONJE IS VERY RETICIENT.
Hamilton, Bermuda. (Special.) The
Boer officers who have been living in
the prison camps on the islands near

cald they were glad the war was over
and would be delighted to get back to
their homes.
It is understood that the rank and
file of the Boers will be allowed ashore
In batches of ten. The offlers have
been Invited to an "at home" at Gov
ernment House.
London. (Special:) The war office
has cabled congratulations to Lord
Kitchener on the energy, skill and pa
tience with which he conducted the
long campaign In South Africa, and
has asked him to communicate to the
troops the government's profound
sense of their spirit of endurance,
bravery and discipline, and also of
their humanity, shown throughout the
trying peiiud. Lord Kitchener replied,
in behalf of the army In South Africa,
tendering his sincere thanks for the
congratulations of the government,
which, he was sure, the troops would
receive with great satisfaction.

Thinks Boors Got Too Much.
London. (Special.) A. J. Balfour,
the government leader In the House of
Commons, In a speech at a conserva
tive banquet In London, referred to the
South African war, He said the load
was only now thoroughly realized and
pence had been bought by unnecessary

tenable, because General Botha then
demanded Independence.

cares of war. He said he was going
to return to his farm to resume work
there.

at Port Chalmette, La., to the house.
A letter from Secretary Hay said aa
effort had been made to ascertain
whether the most serious charge, that
of enlisting men in this country, was
true, but It could not be substantiated.
The report shows that there were
thirteen officers engaged in buying, in
specting and shipping horses and
mules. All employes were Ameilcan

itary works, and after an elaborate
presentation of the fact, the report
concludes that there Is no excu::e for
any claim of a violation of neutrality.
