T H E N O RT1lW R ST F R N VU BUSHED EVERY FRIDAY A.T THE COUNTY SEAT. MO. K. IIKN ■il’HOTKK, I Rdtlnr* anil OE«. H. OIBSOH, ( Publisher* TERMS:—11.00 per tear, ir paid in advance Entered at the Loup City Fostofllro for trsiris mission through the mails as second class matter. The Geiman government lias sent an agricultural expert to this country to examine the best types of agrieul tural implements with the idea of in troducing them in that country. The steam ship Rio Janeiro, went on the rocks near the entrance of 8an Francisco harbor last Friday morning and immediately sank, drowning lti^ persons, among them United States Consul to Hong Kong, Wildman and wife and two children who were coming home for a visit. The greater number of those drown ed were Chinese and Japanese. Cablegrams tell us that ttie Em press of China is mobilizing a vast army between her new capitol and I’ekin, and that Von Waldersee is preparing to send the allied armies to destroy them. This is supposed to be a move ou the part of the Chinese government to concentrate an army sullicient to crush the allies and rid themselves of foreign dom ination. This move on the part of China will likely sound tin* death knell of the d) nasty and in all prob ability annihilate the power of Chi na. The United States is the only friend the celestial kingdom appears to have among the gieat powers, and with such continued obstreprious ness on the part of that government this country will bo compelled to surrender the good • dices used in bdialf of llie orientals. At a regular meeting of the Vill age board last Thursday night, the saloon license of -John Chelewski was canceled and the saloon formerly run by him has been closed. This was done at the rujuest of Mr Cht lewski as a protection to his bonds men. He filed a disclaimer for the unearned license money. Judge Wall and John Long come before the board as attorneys for Mr. Uhelewski and the bondsmen and cited author ities tending to prove that the board bad jurisdiction in the matter. It was also apparent that Mi. Chelewski's bondsmen would lie held responsible for any complaints made for offences or lawless ac’s committed up to the lime of the cancellation of such license, even though it might appear tiial the bu siness was conducted by another. The prospects just now are that the presideut will be compelled to call an extra session of congress im mediately after the adjournment of the present one which takes place on the Uh inst, for the purpose of considering the relations between this country aud Cuba in regard to that island declaring Us indepen dence. From present indication con gress will not be able to consider the matter before its final adjournment, and if the Cuoans will not agree to the presidents demands as to their declaration of independence he will call an extra session and let con gress shoulder the responsibility. The President insists that Cuba must agree to terms about as follows if be is to come to an understanding with them: That the United States must control foreign relations for the new republic; have naval stations at Ha vana, Santiago and Cienfuegos, with tne right to maintain American gar risous there; the obligation of Cuba to make no concession of, terriion and to mortgage none of her proper ty to foreign powers, and, finally, the right to enforce the Monroe doctrine upon the Cubans themsel ves whenever necessary. If the Cubans w II not agree to this the pre sident wants congress to settle it.
