Loup City Northwestern. VOLUME XX. LOUP CITY, SHERMAN COUNTY, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14. 1902. NUMBER 1. AFTER LADRONES MILITARY AND CIVIL AUTHORI TIES UNITE AGAINST THEM. BRICANDSTERRORIZE PROVINCES Even Manila is Not Free from Depre dations of Armed Guerrillas Number ing Many Hundreds Who Live in Mountains. MANILA. —The government Iq adopting vigorous measures to sup press the ladrones in the provinces of Cavite, Rizal and Bulacan. A zone embracing these provinces and sur rounding Mailt is the scene of con stant petty disorders. Several armed bands, some of them numbering 200, are operating in the district and have committed various depredations, aft erward finding a safe refuge in the mountains. The government intends to employ the military to suppress these brig ands, and it is probable they will be requested to protect the more import ant towns, while the constabulary conducts the field operations. It is thought that martial law in a modified form will be declared and the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus suspended in Cavite province, which has been the home of ladrones for ages. Military control of Cavite province is not contemplated. It is intended that the military and civil authorities shall work in conjunction, the belief being held that advantage has been taken of the complete inactivity of the soldiers in some parts of the is land, and it is thought that the use of the army by the civil authorities will have a beneficial effect. The vigorous campaign against la drones conducted by volunteers in Bulacan province has resulted in driv ing many refugee bandits into Rizal, where the campaign is now opening. General Davis is co-operating with Governor Taft. He has strengthened the garrisons in Rizal and is support ing and assisting the native constab ulary, which is now afield. The oper k ations in Cavite province will com mence shortly. CLEW TO TRAIN ROBBERY. Twenty Envelopes Taken from Oma ha to Chicago Are Found. WABASH — Twenty envelopes which had apparently been used by an express company to ship $18,000 from Omaha to Chicago over the Bur lington were found on a saw mill car rier at Treats Friday. The seals had been recently broken. They bore date of August 19, and it is supposed by the Wabash agent, to whom they were turned over, that they had been rifled of their contents by. men who robbed the train. It is thought the criminal entered the mill during the night, as the en velopes wrere not on the carrier the day before. Shot Down by Burglars. POMEROY, O.—Harry Allemang, who pitched in the Southern league this season and who has signed with the Cincinnati team for the coming year, was shot and mortally wounded at Mason, W. Va., his homo early Sunday. Allemang had been out with friends and was returning home. He found burglars at work in the post office. A sentry on the outside order ed Allemang to halt. No attention was paid to the command and the sentry fired upon Allemang, the bul let entering his back and lodging in the left lung. When Allemang had fallen to the ground the robbers took $980 from him. Portfolio for Mr. Sagasta. MADRID—As a result of a prolong ed cabinet council meeting, held to discuss the recent attacks made upon the government b" leaders of the op position, an official note issued Sun day says the ministers are ready to place their portfolio at the disposal of Fremier Sagasta, if this step is neces sary, and that they have unanimously decided to give the premier full power to act as he considers best in the in terests of the country and his party. Premier Sagasta is to have an audi ence with King Alfonso tomorrow at noon. It is expected that a crisis and the reconstruction of the minis try are imminent. Clerks in the Bank of Montreal now get a new degree—B. F.—Bachelor of Finance. TREATY SEEMS LIKELY NOW. Cuba Wants Fifty Per Cent Rebate on Sugar and Tobacco. WASHINGTON.—Cuba not having returned the draft of the treaty pro posed by the United States, officials here are officially ignorant of the na ture of the changes the Cubans de sire. Of course they are known to be con nected with the increase of the rebate to be allowed on Cuban sugar and to bacco and there are indications that the administration mny be willing to yield slightly on this point if no un seasonable delay is exhibited in the negotiations. The rebate proposed in the original convention is 20 per cent and it Is gathered that the Cubans want 50 per cent. This rate cannot be allow ed in view of the belief that congress would certainly not sanction such a cut in duties, but between these fig ures there is so wide a margin that there is room for compromise. The coaling station matter is. for the time being, held in abeyance. The 1,000 tons of coal belonging to the United States navy now laying in a warehouse at Triscornia is being di minished according to the needs of the navy in gulf waters, so that the Cu ban complaint of the existence of an American naval station in Havana har bor is adjusting itself without fric tion and, indeed, it is said the mat ter has not been officially mentioned lately. MORE RAILROADS FOR LUZON. English Syndicate Makes Application for the Franchise. MANILA.—The English syndicate which operates the Manila-Dagupan railroad has applied for a franchise to construct a railroad from Guiguin to, province of Bulacan, to Cabanua tan, province of Nueva Eouija. The syndicate contemplates later the ex tension of the road to Appari, on the north coast of Luzon. It wants the government to grant a right-of-way and to make certain tariff taxes and concessions for a term of years. The commission is preparing to en act a railroad law, and it will not grant the franchise applied for by the English syndicate unless Americans have had a chance to examine the line of the proposed road and submit pro posals. The line to Appari will be part of the future Luzon trunk line, and the granting of a franchise for its construction is, therefore, a matter of importance. COLIMA VOLCANO IS ACTIVE. People of Mexico Fleeing from the Burning Mountain. ATLANTA, Ga.—A special to the Constitution from Guadalajara, Mex ico. says: An eruption of Colima vol cano is threatened and the people liv ing in the valleys at the base of the mountain are fleeing to Manzanilo and other points of safety. A dense vol ume of smoke has been pouring from the crater for several days, and dur ing the last forty-eight hours deep rumbling and sharp reports have cores from the interior of the volcano. It is reported that an order has been issued to suspend construction tempo rarily on the Colima extension of the Mexican Central railroad, as the na tive laborers cannot be induced to work so near the volcano. Kindness Wins a Fortune. HIAWATHA, Kan.—Hiram Beverly, an old man who recently died at Se attle, Wash., left an estate worth $1, 000,000 to Lizzie Boyce or this county, because she had shown him kindness when he was in sore need years ago. He did not know the girl’s address and his attorney has written to a paper here in the hope of finding the young woman. Lizzie Boyce Is the 24-year old daughter of Elijah Boyce, a farmer who lives a few miles north of Hia watha. Miss Boyce took the news of her inheritance very calmly, stating that she would believe it when she saw the money or its equivalent. Kitchener Opens a College.

MOST OF THE COUNTIES REPORT Practically Complete Returns from tho Congressional Districts Show Heavy Republican Gains—Thompson Con gratulates Gov. Mickey. OMAHA—The World-Herald saya: Complete returns from all but one county and sixty-five scattering pre cincts place Mickex’s majority for gov ernor at 5,533. The vote stands: Mick ey, 94,521; Thompson, 88,988. The one county unreported is McPherson, whic h in 1900 cast fifty-four votes for Poynter and sixty-nine for Dietrich. Estimating that the sixty-five pre cincts will cast approximately 7,000 votes, and dividing these on the basis of 3,000 for Mickey and 3,400 for Thompson, and figuring McPherson the same as two years ago, the total vote for governor will be just about 190,000, of which Mickey will have about 98,100 and Thompson 92,300, making the former's plurality 5,700. Practically complete returns from the congressional districts show heavy republican gains in all districts but the Second. In the First, Burkett wins over Hanks by a majority of 5, 228, as compared with a majority of 2,901 in 1900. In the Third Robinson’s majority of 175 over Hays in 1900 is converted into an adverse majority, of 709 for McCarthy. In the Fourth, where Stark defeated Pope bv a majority of 597 in 1900, that veteran campaigner is laid low by the silver-tongued Hin shaw, who has a majority of 2,644. In the Fifth, where Shallenberger de feated Morlan by 409 votes in 1900, the face of the returns gives Norris a majority over Shallenberger of 128. In the Sixth Moses Kinkaid defeats Patrick Barry by a majority of 2,694, after having been defeated by Ne ville in 1900 by a majority of 209. These figures show a net republican gain in majorities of almost 10,000 in the five districts, though both republi can and fusion candidates poll a small er vote than in 1900. GRAND ISLAND—Hon. W. H. Thompson sent the following tele gram to Hon. J. H. Mickey. ‘‘Accept congratulations and my best wishes. W. H. THOMPSON.'” OSCEOLA—Governor-elect John H. Mickey replied to Hon. W. H. Thomp son's telegram as follows: "Your congratulations received and I thank you for your warm expres sion of kindness, and sincerely hope our cordial relations may continue.” LINCOLN.—Governor-meet Mickey was in Lincoln Friday and put in some time visiting the state officers. He called on Governor Savage and talked some time with him concerning the duties of the office, intimating that he would be thankful for any pointers or suggestions made to him. “I haven’t much to say concerning the result,” said Mr. Mickey. "Of course I feel gratified at it and am deeply thankful to the people for their expression of confidence. It is a little early to ask me to outline a policy, for the truth is that I have been so busy in the campaign that I have had no time to give any thought to a pol icy. As to the likelihood of sweeping changes in state institutions, I am not prepared to indicate what may occur, but I will say that I know of some places in which there will be no changes effected by me.” TO ABIDE BY THE RESULT. Individual Operators Agree to Accept Finding of Commission. WASHINGTON—Colonel Carroll D. Wright and General John M. Wilson, members of the anthracite coal strike commission, had a brief interview with the president Friday. They reported that the individual bperators in the anthracite regJbn had agreed by abide by the findings of the commission and had so notified Judge Gray, the chairman. President Roosevelt was particu larly pleased at this information, as >it tended materially to simplify the problem which the commission has tc solve. The commissioners explained in some detail their work up to this time. The president expressed his gratifica tion that the work had been satisfac tory to those engaged in it TO TAKE FEDERALS’ SIDE. Senator Spooner to Ask Official Inves tigation of Porto Rico Election. MADISON, Wis.—Senator John C. Spooner has decided to call President Roosevelt's attention to the reports of political irregularities or outrages in Porto Rbo and will probably ask that an official investigation be made. Senator Spooner left for Washing ton Sunday night, having been called by the president for a conference on the coming message to congress. Colonel George W. Bird of this city, father of Hobart S. Bird, editor of the San Juan News, persuaded the senator to take the matter up. He laid before him'evidence tending to prove that certain prominent members of the fed eral party were being maliciously per secuted and prosecuted for their polit ical activity. It is alleged that during the cam paign that ended last Tuesday a cer tain element of the party opposing the federalists resorted to every means of intimidation and in some instances even to physical violence to break up their political metings and suppress their political activity. It is also al leged that throats were freely made against the lives of the federalists should they have the temerity to go to the polls and attempt to vote. HAY TAKEN TO TASK. Rabbi Fruskopf Criticises His Note to the European Powers. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Rabbi Jo seph Kruskopf, D. D., of the Reform Congregational Keneseth Israel, a lead ing Hebrew of this city, and one of the best known Hebrew clergymen in the east, Sunday delivered a sermon entitled, “Secretary Hay and the Rou manian Jew,” in which he criticised the note sent by the secretary to the European powers on the question of the Roumanian Jews. Dr. Krauskopf said three months have passed since the note was issued and the results that were anticipated, have not yet come to pa3s. Continuing, he said in part: "My want of faith in the success of the laudable and well-intentioned effort on the part of our honored secretary was based on the note itself. The lar ger part of the note, which I call the self-protective, I felt from the start invited failure for the United States and disappointment for the Roumanian Jews.” MAKE VERY GRAVE CHARGES. Men High in Russian Councils Ac cused of Being in Plot. SOFIA, Bulgaria—A sensation was created Friday by the publication of alleged fac similes of correspondence relating to the organization of plots against the late Premier Stambulotf and the government, resulting in the assassination of M. Stambuloff and two other members of his ministry July 15, 1895. Friends of Michael Stavreff, alias Halju, who was found guilty October 24 of the premier's murder and was sentenced to be hanged, are responsi ble for their publication. They claim that Stavreff was only a tool. According to the correspondence, M. Ludkonsoff, the present minister of the interior, is alleged to be direct ly responsible for the organization of the plot and holders of important posts under the present government are implicated. NO ACTION TO BE TAKEN. Officially, Quesada Knows Nothing of Those Cuban Children. WASHINGTON—So far as present Intentions go it is not the intention of Senor Quesada, the Cuban minister, to take any action in connection with the refusal of the New York immigra tion officials to permit the admission into the United States of the eleven Cuban children from Santiago, who were to be sent to a school at Point Loma, Cal. As a matter of fact, the case has not come before Minister Quesada in any official form whatever, but he has interested himself in the welfare of the children to the extent of instruct ing the Cuban consul at New York to see that they were properly cared foi pending the disposition of the ques tion of their admission to this country. Cholera Rife in Manila. MANILA—Cholera continues to be Intermittent in different parts of the archipelago. The recorded total of cases is 105,000, and of deaths 67,000.
