SIMM filLLARD 1 ON m QUESTION WILL ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH PRESIDENT’S VIEWS. Belief Expressed That He Has Pledged Himself to Roosevelt, Vol untarily. WASHINGTON'.—The Evening Star oas the following on Senator Millard's rate position: “The attitude of Senator Millard of Nebraska, who is a member of the sen- j ite committee on interstate com- i Tierce, has been one of doubt for some time, but there is strong belief that Senator Millard has pledged himself to the president, voluntarily, to sup port a measure in keeping with the president’s views. Senator Millard saw the president a few days ago and had a conference with him. The Ne braska senator is a candidate for re election and there would be absolute ly no chance in the world of his com ing back to the senate if he should go astray on the rate proposition. The Nebraska republicans last year started the habit of indorsing candidates for United States senator in their state conventions. This was done in the case of Senator Burkett. The next state convention, to be held next sum mer. ptobably will make an indorse ment for a successor to Senator Mil lard. Even in case he stands by the administration on the railroad rate proposition Senator Millard will have a hard time coming to the senate again. Among those who will oppose him are Norris Brown of Kearney, present attorney general of the state: Ross Hammond, a well known editor of Fremont, and Gordon W. Wattles, a pronrnent banker and citizen of Omaha.” Hinshaw Sees President. Representative Hinshaw saw the president for a few moments. On emerging from the cabinet room Mr. Hinshaw said it was his positive con viction that a rate bill in strict accord with the president's policy would pass both bodies. "The )>eople of Nebraska are unctimous in support of the presi dent’s position as to rate legislation." Senator Poliiver of Iowa, a member of the < ommittee on interstate com merce, talked with the president brief- j ly. After his interview the senator ! remarked when asked about rate leg- | islation: “We are now moving along j toward a practically unanimous stand : for the president's policy.” President Silent Until Message. , It developed today that the subject under discussion at the White house conference which was participated in by the president. Secretaries Root. Taft and Bonaparte. Senator Knox and Commissioner of Corporations Gar field, was proposed legislation affect- i ing .freight rates, it has been post-; tively decided that there shall be no ' further expression of the administra- : tion’s views cn this subject pending ! the publication of the president's nie.s- ! sage to congress in which it is treated ; at great length It was also learned that there lias been no change whatever in the presi dent’s view as to the best form of rate j legislation. In othe1, words, his views 1 have not been affected by any of the propositions recently made public. A COPY OF RATE BILL. It is Submitted by the Interstate Com merce Commission. WASHINGTON—The senate com mittee on interstate commerce receiv ed a copy of the rate bill prepared by the interstate commerce commis sion to be submitted to congress for amendment to the interstate com merce law. The members of the com mittee who were present at the ses sion read the bill, but took no action and adjourned until Friday. The bill is very extensive, covering twenty seven pages of typewritten sheets, and it proposes to amend very materially the present law. LORD ROBERTS HAS RESIGNED. Due to Differences with Premier Bal four. LONDON—It is officially announced that Field Marshal Lord Roberts has resigned from the committee for im perial defense in order to take u'o the organization throughout the country of work connected with his proposals ' for universal military training. Vis count Esher, deputy governor of Windsor castle, and Lieutenant Gen eral Sir John French, commander of the First army corps at Aldershot, have been requested to act on the com mittee for imperial defense. The resignation of Lord Roberts is understood to have been to a great ex tent due to differences of opinion be tween himself and other members of the committee on military policy, and especially to the fact that Premier Bal four rejected his advice regarding the strength of the forces required for the defense of India. Lord Roberts, by re- ' signing, renounces a salary of $25,000 yearly. CANNOT ENTER IN COMBINE. Iowa Insurance Law Upheld by Su- ! preme Court.

Carroll. Iowa state audi tor. against the Greenw-ich Insurance i company, et al. The decision reverses ! the decision of the United States dis trict court of southern Iowa. Carnegie is Finding Fault. SYRACUSE. N. Y.—In a letter to the Syracuse library board congratu lating the city upon completion of its new $200,000 library building, Andrew Carnegie, the donor, takes occasion to criticise the commission that erected the building for the expenditure of ($18,000, or nearly 10 per cent of the cost of the building, for inspectors' fees, attorneys’ fees and architects’ fees. Mr. Carnegie says he never heard of such things and knows noth ing as to attorneys in. connection with the building of his libraries. V k THE GUARDS FAIL. Troops Protecting Imperial Family Show Discontent. ST. PETERSBURG — The most alarming indication of the spread of the disaffection in the army, extend ing even to regiments near the person of the emperor, was given in the ar rest at Tsarskoe Selo of a number of soldiers belonging to the Yellow Cuir assiers of the Guard, the Hussars of the Guard and the Life Guard Rifle ment for presenting a series of peti tions, including one against the use of troops for police purposes. The regiments in question are those which have been specially selected by General Trepoff to guard the emperor and his family. They have been counted upon as being loyal to the last, ready even to be torn to pieces in defense of his majesty, like the Swiss guards of Louis XVI. Their ar rest, however, although not for open sedition, shows how the leaven of dis content is working even within the precincts of the imperial park at Tsar skoe Selo. The incident gave rise to most alarming rumors in St. Petersburg, in cluding one to the effect that the em peror actually had been attacked and that a grand duke had been wounded while defending him; but the Asso ciated Press is assured by a member of the imperial entjurage at Tsar skoe Selo that this is absolutely un true. ROWDIES ATTACK AMERICAN. Second Secretary Bliss Injured at St. Petersburg. ST. PETERSBURG—Robert Wood Bliss, second secretary of the Ameri can embassy, who has just returned here after a three months' vacation in Paris, was the victom of an out rage by rowdies in one of (he most fashionable streets of the capital late last night, and only escaped being beaten to death through the timely arrival of the police. Charge d'Affaires Eddy has report ed the affair to the authorities at Washington, but as the incident was a plain case of rowdyism he probably will not make official representations at the foreign office here unless in structed to do so. HAVE NOT CHANGED MINDS. Canal Consulting Engineers Stick to Their Views. WASHINGTON—The five foreign delegates to the board of consulting engineers of the isthmian canal com mission left, for New York and will soon sail for their homes. They will meet again in Brussels during the first days of next January. General Davis will go to that, city as repre sentative of the American members of the board, and will take with him the documents which are not yet drawn up and which will then have to be signed by the foreign delegates. Speaking of published stories that they had reconsidered their first vote, one of the delegates made the follow ing statement: “Whatever we have had to say will be found in the report which will shortly be in the hands of President Roosevelt. That we should change our vote on a subject to which ror three months we have given our clos est attention, and should change it merely because some parties ate not contented with It. is a great absurd ity.” MR. LIES BOUNCED. United States Assistant Treasurer Re moved. WASHINGTON.—President Roose velt on Monday removed from office William S. Lieb, assistant United States treasurer at Philadelphia, for "constant and persistent violation of the civil service law while in office.’’ In a formal statement issued at the White house by President Roosevelt Mr. Lieb's removal is announced. The president gave Mr. Lieb a hearing last Friday at the request of Senator Pen rose and Senator Knox of Pennsyl vania. Mr. Lieb submitted a long statement in answer to the charges made against him and was supported in his defense by Representative Pat terson of Pennsylvania. The statement says: “After careful consideration of all the facts developed by the inquiry, the president decided to remove Mr. Lieb from office, it being shown, according to the statement, that there was ‘con stant and consistent effort on your (Mr. Lieb’s) part to evade the provi sions of the civil service law, to ham per Its workings as far as possible and to obstruct in every way the action of the commission.’ ” DISASTROUS SEASON ON LAKES. Seventy Ships Wrecked and 149 Lives Lost.

WATERFORD, Ireland.—John Red mond. addressing his constituents here Thursday night, said that his speech was practically his election ad dress, for he believed that they were on the eve of a general election and that the life of the government might be counted by hours. Mr. Redmond then proceeded to speak on the para mouney of the home rule question, be side which he said the question of the welfare and the good will of the col onies sank into insignificance.

Acceptance Speech Refers to the Forthcoming President’s Message and to the Rebate Law Question.

The congress will be or ganized on Monday next and will promptly receive the annual message from the president. 1 will not specu late as to what may be the contents Df the message. I have no doubt it will oe both wise and patriotic in its rec ommendations. “The cnanges in the methods of pro Juetion and commerce so salutary and beneficial, involving as they do the ex traordinary use of combined capital, emphasizes the necessity for prevent ing agreements in restraint of trade, tnd the regulation of commerce among the states and with foreign nations. The congress, within the limits of its jurisdiction under the constitution, has therefore enacted legislation touching :hese subjects. In the fullness of time i. may be, under the law as it now is and by the operation of competitive forces, that matters of difference be ween the corporations, the carrier, and the people they serve, would be adjust ed in justice to all. peopl", however, is that congress has ihc power by amendment to the taw to orovide better remedies for real abuses ?xisting. so that the producer and con sumer can find a more speedy and less expensive remedy than we now have. In this opinion I for one concur. The ourden is upon congress and our narty saving fiower is primarily responsible. Let us go forward, tint it is our duty :o see that legislation is wise in the premises, just to the corporation, just :o the carrier and to the people. We cannot oppress one by foolish or un just legislation without in the end bringing disaster upon al . \\'e should be especially careful to not unduly in terfere with the operation of the com petitive forces, for after all, our very civilization rests upon it; each indi vidual living in the sweat ol his tace, hustling to promote his own interest. We may regulate commerce among the states and as an incident thereto we may regulate the competitive forces. We dare not destroy them.' The officers of the house were re nominated as follows; Clerk, Alexander McDowell, Penn sylvania ; sergeant at arms. Henry Cas son, Wisconsin; doorkeeper, F. B. Lyon, i*ew York: postmaster, Joseph C. McEiroy. Ohio; chaplain, Rev. Henry N. Louden, .Michigan. AN INCREASE OF MILLIONS. Circulation Statement Shows Gain of $72,650,182.

WASHINGTON—According to a bul J letin issued by the census bureau, about 106 person? out of 1,000 in the , United States over 10 years- old are j unable to write, which is equivalent ! to about 1 in 10. Of the native white | population only 46 out of every 1,000, | or fewer than 1 in 20; of the foreign ; born white, 128 out of every 1,000, and .of the negroes 445 out ot every 1,000 are illiterate. International comparisons, restrict ed as far as possible to corresponding classes of the population, are on the whole favorable to this country, indi cating that in most European coun tries illiteracy is much more prevalent than it is here, although the United States is still far behind Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Switz erland. There is also ground for satisfaction in the statistical evidence that illiter acy is steadily being reduced. In 1S90 the number of illiterates per 1.000 was 152 for the total population, 62 for the native white population, 130 for the foreign born whites and 156 for negroes, Indians and Mongolians. 'fhe female sex is shown to be more illiterate than the male, the illiteracy for females being 112 per 1.000, and for males 101. But the contrast is less marked than it was in 1890. tvhen the illiteracy for the two sexes was 144 and 123, respective!}'. NOVEMBER CROP BULLETIN. Month Generally Favorable for Farm ing Operations.

What the Life Saving Service of the Government Has to Show for the Past Year. WASHINGTON. — Qomplaint was filed with Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden by attorneys repre senting the independent watch manu facturers and watch case makers and wholesale dealers, headed by the W. J. Johnson company of Pittsburg and the Dueber-H.ampton Watch company of Canton, O., charging that the Key stone Watch company and allied con cerns, forming what is claimed to be the watch trust, is enjoying the privil ege of second-class rates in violation of the law. Allegations are that the Keystone publication refuses to pub lish the advertisements of persons not selling the product of the companies i forming the so-called trust, and that j they have broken advertising con I tracts with wholesale dealers when such dealers were found to be hand j ling and selling anti trust goods. The complainants charge that the so-called trust endeavors by coercive methods to drive every dealer to the wall who does not sell its goods and that it ap points special agents in certain locali ties to undersell dealers who have re fused to handle its products Life Saving Service Report. The work of the life saving service for the last fiscal year is summed up in a report of General Superintendent Kimball to the secretary of the treas ury, made public today.

In addi tion. the report states 83 steamers and i 88 sailing vessels running into danger were warned of their peril by the sig- j nals of the patrol and lookout in time ' to escape disaster. The saving of many lives and much property is at- i tributod to such warnings. No less than 365 disasters to docu mented vessels occurred during the period stated, involving the lives of 4.089 persons, of wnom 27 were lost. The estimated value or vessels and cargoes so affected was $10,320,660, of which $7,917,385 was saved'. i ui.iguuii iui rtiiaiuii rvo. Commissioner Warner made recom mendations to Secretary Hitchcock for the promotion of about 100 clerks in the pension bureau and the reduction in salary of about twenty-five others. The employes who are to be reduced are generally old persons who are claimed to be not so efficient as for merly. and yet who have rendered such faithful service that it is not con sidered just to separate them from the service. Several such persons have been drawing comparatively high salaries. Many of them will be placed on the fbilO roll. STEPS DOWN AND OUT. President McCurdy No More with the Mutual. NEW YORK—Richard A.

CHICAGO — The Record-Herald says: What promises to develop into one of the greatest grain rate wars in years was begun Friday when the Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. paul railroad put into effect a through tariff on corn between Missouri river points and Liverpool of 28'/fe cents from Kansas City and 30 cents from Omaha. As nearly as can be ascertained this action was taken because of the dis covery that the grain men who ship via the gulf were engaged in a cam paign to corral an enormous move ment of grain through the gulf ports at less than agreed rates. It is now the intention of the St. Paul road to do the same thing by way of the At lantic ports.

The Girl Shot in Chicago Formerly Lived in Nebraska. LINCOLN—Miss Maude Reese, who was shot by a burglar in her Chicago flat was formerly a Nebraska girl. Her father was the president of the United Hrethron college at York, and Miss Reese had many friends in York and in Lincoln. Miss Reese, who was 25 years old and a stenographer, was living in a flat with her sister, a trained nurse. The sister wan out of the city at the time of the tragedy, and Mrs. M. M. Ilaumgartuer was staying with .Miss Reese. Mrs. Baumgartner was tem porarily blind from having her eyes treated. When the two women en tered the flat Tuesday evening they heard sounds in another room. Miss Reese told her friend to remain quiet while she went to investigate. Mrs. Baumgartner then heard the sound of a struggle, heard the burglar threaten to shoot the girl if she did not release him, then a loud report, the fall of the body and the swift steps of the man as he ran to the window and jumped out, leaving the silverware and other valuables he had collected behind him. The murderer has not vet been found. The girl was shot through the heart. Burglars Pay a Visit to a Bank. GRAND ISLAND—The state bank | of Chapman was entered at 2:30 in the morning, the safe forced by dyna mite and between $1,200 and $1 500 was taken.

BEET GROWERS DISSATISFIED. Farmers Threaten to Turn Their At tention to Other Crops. M'OOOK—The dissatisfaction among raisers of beets in this section is such as to make it quite probable that the industry will receive an ugly set-back another year, unless better terms in j several respects are secured from the , Factories, especially more liberality in the matter of receiving beets at the factory. Delay in taking them at the factory at present is a great annoy ance, inconvenience and loss to ihe; producers. Hog Cholera at Grand Island. GRAND ISLAND—The ravages x>f ! [he disease of cholera has become j luite devastating among the herds of twine in this county, many farmers reporting the loss of over half of their lerds. and some as high as 80 per j rent.

A ew days ago the children were plav ng in the timber near the Rockwell •remises and found an old unused veil, and at the bottom discovered the nissing dog. They were not long in iringing it to the surface, and his dog hip was alive, but a, mere shadow, le had lived ninety days without food ir water. NEBRASKA ELEVATOR MEN. A Largely Attended Meeting Looked For in January. LINCOLN—.James Brady . of Al bion. one of the officers of the State Co-Operative Elevator association, who has been in the city, predicts that the state meeting to be held in Lincoln January 17 will be large and enthusiastic. He stated that mere are now 135 co-operative companies in the association and he looks to see the membership considerably aug mented because of the fact that many of these concerns have been doing a profitable business recently. In this connection, it is pointed out that at the time the attorney general filed his suit for an injunction against the Nebraska Grain Dealers’ associa tion it was believed that the result would lie to increase the number of independent associations which had been kept down because of the price cutting tactics of the old line com panies. Lnder the temporary injunc tion secured b3' Attorney General Brown that species of attack on the new concerns would invoke the wrath of the supreme court in the shape of contempt proceedings, and there is, in consequence, an absence of interfer ence. Liesner Landed in Asylum. NORFOLK—Carl Liesner. the aged farmer from Pierce county who so nearly ended the life of S. H. Crippen, the Plainview marshal, by running a sword into the latter, was brought to the state hospital for the insane here, but was only placed in the institute after a struggle, in which Sheriff Jones of Pierce county, his deputy and an attendant were almost overcome. Strawberries in November. TECTMSEH—Kansas and Missouri cannot make their boasts of being the only states in the north to raise the second crop of strawberries. G. W. Crawford of Tecumseh raised a sec ond crop, from which has been picked several quarts for his own use the past two weeks. WASHINGTON—Representative Ed mund H. Hinshaw has requested the president to appoint Samuel G. Phes ant postmaster at Osceola, Neb., in the place of H. H. Campbell, who re signed on account of his election as county judge of Polk county.
