The hearing on the petition for a commutation of the death sentence of Walker, the condemned Dawson county murderer, was held at the office of Governor Holcomb last week. Captain McNamara, the attorney who defended Walker during the trial, appeared to plead bla case with the governor. He read a large number of petitions from citizens of Dawson county for execu tive clemency, and followed these with quite a number from Kentucky. Cap tain McNamara said that tbesa last were in the nature of new light on Walker's esse While the Nebraska petitioners were unanimous in the opinion that Walker was hopelessly in sane, and was so at the time of the murder and trial, the Kentucky peti tions were from parties who had known Walker in his youth and early man hood. They were all to the effect that at that period the condemned man never evinced the least symptoms of in sanity. He was regarded us a quiet, sociable, even-tempered man. and one who gave every promise of becoming a most useful and exemplary citizen. The Nebraska petitioners held that the prisoner was always morose, vindictive and positively dangerous. The gover nor will give his decision in the case at an early day. Nebraska Club lueorporaied.

THE HOUSE AGAIN PASSES THE AR IZONA LEASE BILL. ABOUT SCHOOL LANDS The Vote Wei 800 to 88—Mr. Hmdmoa Reports too Measure to Abottah the I'M System a* Regards (tutted states Attorneys aad Mar shals —Tha Hilt Mala Provisions Wasiiinoto*, March 2.—The Sen ate amendments to the army appro priation billa were non-concurred in by the House to-day and the bill waa writ to conference. Mr. Lacey, chairman of the public lands committee, called np the bill to lease certain lands in Arlzonu for school purposes, which was vetoed yesterday by the 1'resfdent, and moved that it be passed over the veto. Mr. Lacey, in support of his motion, said that the house was confronted with the constitutional Interference of the president on a bill that bad passed troth houses unanimously. Mr Lacey explained that the bill wus identical with that authorizing Oklahoma to lease her educational lauds for school purposes, which had been prepared and passed by the last Congress at the request of the .Secre tary of the Interior and the commis sioner of the general land office. As a result of the Oklahoma bills. $88,000 nau ncen realized in mat territory last year, while under the former system 9l6,oOO had been obtained. Was It implied now, he asked, that the governor of Arizona was not as competent to lease these lands as the Secretary of tin* Interior, 1,800, miles away. Both were Mr. Cleve land's appointees. The veto message had culled attention to the opposition of “influential citizens" in Arizona. Naturally such opposition would exist l'lie cattle barons in Oklahoma had protested, yet the law in that terri tory hud worked admirably. Some of these iunds were now occupied without authority uud without rental. The President, Mr. I.acey said, had un doubtedly been deceived, lie had been influenced by men who had, per haps, been influenced by others inter ested in obtaining the use of these lands free of churge Mr Murphy, the Arizona delegate, made the positive statement that the bill had the approval of the secretary of the interior and the commissioner of the general land ofHce. and that their opinions in writing had been laid before the President while he was considering the bill. Notwithstand ing this statement, Mr. Turner of Georgia thought it could be assumed safely that the President had had the advice of the secretary of the interior and that the latter probably had in spired the veto. One of the principal objections raised by the President was that the lands, if leased by the local authorities of the Territory, could be denuded of their timber, as by the terms of the bill it was not necessary to submit the leases for the approval of the secretary. The vote resulted 2<K) to 38, more than two-thirds having voted in the affirmative, the bill was declared passed over the President’s veto. The announcement was greeted with scattering applause by the Re publican side. Mr. Henderson. Republican, of Iowa, from the committee on rules, then presented a special order, offer iug the Updegraffe bill to abolish the fee system in the case of United States attorneys and marshals as an amend ment to the legislative appropriation bill. The bill provides that the f^e system is to be abolished ufter June 30 of this year and the fees collected to be turned into the treasury. Annual salaries are to be puid the United States dis trict attorneys and marshals in these districts as foil lows: In t.he district of Kansas $1,000; in the West tern district of Missouri, each $4,000; in Oklahoma each $’..000. Assistant district attorneys, to lie appointed by the attorney general, are to receive not over 93,500. Not to exceed $4 per day for expenses in addition to actual traveling expenses, is to be allowed attorneys aud a .sistants.

WASRiiTSToR, Feb The Senate this afternoon adopted the Cuban res olution se amended by Mr. Cameron. The vote waa 04 ysss to 0 nay*. The reeolutlon In full is as follows: “Resolved, by the Senate (the House of Repreeentattves concurring), That in the opinion of Congress a condition of pnblio war exists between the government of Spain and the gov ernment proclaimed and for some time maintained by force of arms by the people of < uba; and that the United States of America should main tain a strict neutrality (between the eontending powers, according to each all the rights of belligerents in the ports and territory of the United States. “Resolved, That the friendly offices of the United States shall be offered by the President to the Spanish gov ernment for the recognition of the independence of Cuba.” The vote on the committee and the Cameron resolutions resulted—04 yeas to 0 naya. The Senators who voted in the neg ative were: Caffery, Chilton. George, Hale, Morrill, Wetmore. The announcement of the result was greeted with great applause in the galleries. The Hen ite galleries were well filled at the op> ning of the session in antic ipation o' the culmination of the Cu ban debate and the final vote. Shortly after the session opened Representative Hitt, chairman of the nounecoiiiriiiu.ee on Foreign Almira, joined Mr. Sherman, chairman of the Senate committee on Foreign Rela tions, in a whispered conference at Sherman's desk. The Ohio senator announced that the Cuban question would be taken up without waiting for the usual expiration of the morn ing hour at 2 o'clock. Mr. Allen of Nebraska asked to withdraw the resolution for the ap pointment of Mr Lloyd as a Henate official. This brought on another dis cussion as to adding a Populist official to the roris. Mr. Allen Anally with drew the resolution. Mr. Sherman then moved that the Cuban resolutions he taken up, and this prevailed without objection. Chairman Hitt remained alongside Mr. Sherman as the debate proceeded. Baron Von Kettier of the Herman em bassy occupier! a seat in the diplomatic gallery. Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky then ad dreased the Senate on the Cuban reso lotions, lie said the conAict in Cuba was at our very doors and was being waged with such desperation that only one of two results could some— cither the complete independence of Cnba, on the one hand, or the utter annihilation of the Cuban peonle on the other. The senator said he ap proached the subject from the stand point of humanity rather than law. Declarations of sympathy would avail nothing to the Cubans. Declarations that they had progressed to the stage of belligerents would avail nothing. ACTIVE INTERVENTION JUSTIFIED. “If the United States intends taking nny steps that will avail these strug gling Cubans, that step should be in the direction of the ultimate independ ence of Cuba,” declared Mr. Lindsay in stentorian tones. In the past the United States had not hesitated to take the position of recognizing inde pendence under circumstances similar to those now existing in Cuba. Quoting from international author ities. the Senator maintained that a condition now existed in Cuba justify ing the United States in considering a proposition for active intervention to restore public order and in behalf of humanity. But, said Mr. Lindsay, the resolution did not contemplate active intervention. It extended good offices to Spain with a view to securing the ultimate independence of Cuba. “And sueli independence,” added Mr. Lindsay, “is the only basis which will bring lasting peace to Cuba, judged from the experience of seventy years. The United Stales could not relieve itself from the responsibility of seeing that Spain showed this island some kind of justice. Could wo •ay to the world that unless Cuba secured her independence by tier own uuuidnd efforts she might remain under the abject subjection of Spain'* Should we not >a.v to Spain that some sort of proleotiou, some sort of justice and liberty consistent vitit kn en lightened age must lie shown to these people? “Spain uow contemplated the an nihilation of all the able bodied meu of l it ha iu order to crush inis uprising.

Mr. Sherman said he did not favor Cuba's annexation to the United Staten, but strongly favored its annex ation to Mexico, a kindred people HOUSE KKSOl.UTIOH* REJECTED The line of action was determined i at a special meeting of the Senate committee on foreign relations to-dsy for the purpose of considering the form in which the Cuban question should finally be disposed ef. After a very thorough dlscuesten It was de cided to adhere to the committee's resolution for the reeogaltien of bel ligerency and to emend it by adding Senator Cameron's substitute, request ing the President to exercise his friendly offices with Spam to secure the independence of Cuba The House resolutions were discussed upou the ■uggestion that it would be advisable to accept them as a substitute for the Senate declaration, but the plan was discarded as inadvisable The com mittee also decided to adhere to the present form of the resolution, leaving It concurrent instead of joint. It was arranged that Senator Cameron should offer his resolution as an amendment and that It should be accepted by Sen ator Shermsn on behalf of the com mittee. Senator Sherman declared VVeyler't talk of “exterminating the Cohans'' showed him to be “a demon rather than a general." The galleries broke into loud ap plause aa the Senator added: “If this continues no eurtbly power can pre vent the people of the United States from going to that island, sweeping over It from end to end und driving out those barbarians ” Mr. Oallinger followed Senator Sherman with a strong ap|H-al fur the recognition of Cuban independence Mr. Lodge announced that the com mittee on Foreign Relations would ac cept an amendment declaring for Cuban independence, and he consid ered this the proper step. Mr Frye made an earnest speech announcing sympathy with the Cu)>ni CAUSe. lie was, lie said, weary and heart sick at seeing this republic do ing police duty for the most wicked monarchy on the eurth lie would, he said, do. say or vote uny thing that would promote the cause of the Cuban patriots. OArEERY AI.OVK OPKNI.V UISSHNTS. Mr. Caffcry took square ground against any recognition of Cuban bel ligerency, declaring the Cuban insur justify ns in this question He ex pressed the opinion that, the cruelty accompanying the war was not con fined to the .Spanish arrov Mr. Allen followed Mr Laffery, of fering the resolution of which lie had given notice previously. Then lie ■poke in support of it, urging Congress to act independently of the president i in recognizing belligerency. He de clared Hpain an outlaw nation and not entitled to the respect and considera tion of other civilized nations The time, he said, must speedily come when the bloody hand of Hpaln must be wrested from Cuba’s throat. He declared himself favorable to Cuban independence and would, if need be. support thin action with the American arms ____________ BREAKING UP PARTIES. Free Silver Threatens Political Reorgan ization. Washington, Feb. 29.—The remsrk- i able speech of Mr. Carter id the Sen ate, taken in connection with that of Secretary Carlisle at tbe Manhattan club in Mew York a few days ago, baa started a good deal of talk about a re organization of the old political par ties and a division of the people upon new lines Both the Republicans and the Democrats seem almost hopelessly divided upon the same is'-ue, and that the most important before the Ameri can people to-day. The parties are united upon every oilier. More than half the Democrats in Con gress declare that they will not ! support the candidate to be nomi , nated at Chicago unless he pledges himself to free coinage. A considera ' ble portion of the Republicans say the same concerning the candidate to he nominated at St Louis. 'Then why. it is asked, cannot those in both parties who think alike get together and name men who agree with them? A great many people believe that if dis cussion and division continues much longer that will happen Secretary Morton suggested such an expectation upon his part in a newspaper inter view not long ago, and there arc those who claim lo have heard the (‘resident predict a general break tip and reo gunization before the end of this administration, but it m not like y that there will be any bolting from either party until after the national conventions art- held and the platforms are adopted. The Republican leader- do not e\ peel uny bolt.
