a general bill for tlio cnttro rehabill
Utlon of tho Indian territory. The

Tho bill will cover all tlio questions

full Jurisdiction of tho United States
courts over tlio present reservations
and other matters bearing on tho ex
tinguishment of tribal organization.
Tho first steps In tlio matter have
been taken by thu Indian committees
of both tho .Senate mid House. It Is

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
Tot I'lnn of tlenree Wnnlilngton to
Again Co mo Iloforo Cnngreii.
Wahiii.noto.v, Dec. 14. Tho bill to
istablish tho University of tho United
States was introduced In both Houses
of Congress to-day. Tho bill In gen
sral terms provides for nn Institution
of the highest possible type, for tho
graduates of nccrcdltcd colleges and
universities only, with special refer
ence to tho work of orlglnul research
and investigation in nil important
fields of inquiry.
Tho government Is vested in a board
of regents und a university council.
Tho board of rcgonts embraces tho
President of tho United States, tho
Chief Justice of tho Supremo court of
tho United States, tho Commissioner
of Education, tho Secretary of tlio
Smithsonian Institution, the president
of thu National Academy of
Sciences, tho president of tho
National Educational association,
thu president of tlio university
and ulno other citizens to bo appoint
ed by thu President, by und with tho
ndvico and consent of the Senate. No
two of them shall bo from the samo
state. Tho university council is to
have Immediate charge of the work of
instruction, research and Investiga
tion. It consists of tho regents and
twolvo other inembors, to ba appoint
ed by them from among eminent edu
cators, with a like impartial distribu
tion. Tho present bill is tho outgrowth of
tnoro than 100 years of agitation. Tho
thought of a National university first
eamo to Washington while command
ing tlio Itevoliillonnry army. Subse
quently, us President, he repeatedly
urged its establishment, and in his
Inst will and testament left S2.1.000 In
stocks ns a first endowment, tlio inter
est to bo compounded. Had Congress
.fostered tho plan this sum would now
bo nearly 85,000,000. Tlio idea thus
cherished by tho Father of His Coun
try wns also indorsed by Presidents
John Adams. Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe, John Quincy Adams and Jackson,
nud in more rocjnt years, by Presi
dents Grant and Hayes. During ull
this tlmo tho measure wns advocated
by men tho most distinguished for
learning and statesmanship, but, ow
ing to tho lack of organized effort,
nothing practical was accomplished.

lng President McKlnley und wlfo and
ofllcials from Wnshlngton who will
attend tho funeral will leave for the

It was nt first thought by tho fam
ily that tho services should bo of a
tnoro private nature, held at tho old
homestead. It was learned, however,
through tho pastor of Mrs. McKlnley's
church und members of tho congrega
tion, us well ns from other friends,
that tho number of friends who de
sired to pay their last trlbuto of re
spect to tho beloved womun by attend
ing tho obsequies, could not bo accom
modated with such arruugements.
and church services were decided
upon. Tho services will be short and
simple, consisting of words of com
fort uud eulogy by tho nOlclatlng
clergyman, and tho singing of favorite
hymns by the choir.

At the annual meeting of the Omaha
fair and speed association at Omaha a
new board of directors was elected, as.
tho old members of tho board plcndcd
for relief from the responsibility whlcb
they have borne so long.
The report of tlio treasurer showed
that the association has received dur
ing the year 830,401.70, which, added to
the 8390.24 on hand at the beginning of
tho year, makes a total of S30.852. The
expenditures were 838,018.25, leaving a
balance of 8033,75. The unpaid sub
scriptions arc 83,002. The association
has real estate listed nt a value of S28,
000, 880,000 cnplttil stock, and other
accounts valued ut 0,552. lUi liabili
ties are given ut 880,000 for capital
stock, 830,000 for bonds sold, und about
82,000 other accounts.
A resolution was adopted declaring
it the sense of the stockholders that
thu statu board of agriculture should
be released from holding a fair in 1808.
The opinion wns expressed that thu
state board should be required to bold
fairs in Omaha In lbO'.i nud 1000 in con
sideration of this release. It was stat
ed that if thu board desired to bo re
leased for any year It should make u
proposition to that oiled, stating what
It would give for the release.
In his annual address tho retiring
president, W. R. Ilennett, said that he
was surprised to note that an impres
sion prevailed that the association do- ,,
rived some benefit from the success of

over to the fair three weeks und re

while the attempts to make some reve

TELEGRAPH RATE AN ISSUE
Ono Company nt I.runt Will Not Knjoln
tho Ktnto lloaril.
The complaint of W. Q. Feltz of
Ogalhibi ugainst rates charged by tele
graph companies is set for hearing
before the board of transportation.
Two companies are innde defendants,
the Western Union Telegraph compnny
und Postal Cable company. It is
reported that the defendants contem
plate filing u petition for tin order re
straining the board from acting, but
this Is denied by an attorney who says
hu will simply file an answer ou behalf
of one company.
Mr. FcltK complained thpt express
nnd telegraph companies wore eharglng
unjust rates to the extent of 33)4 per
cent. This complaint was filed under
a new luw which gives tho board of
transportation jurisdiction over ex
press und telegraph companies. Tho
compluints were filed separately. Tho
Pacific Kxprcss company sued out an
injunction in the district court of Lan
caster countv. No other cxnress eom-

secretaries of the board said they would
not proceed against tiny of the com
panies until the Puclflo Exprcw
injunction was finally determined.
Now the telegraph case is to be
heard by the board. As interstate
business is involved it is claimed the
companies contemplated beginning
Injunction proceedings In federal court
and that a Lincoln law firm had pre
pared a petition. If both telegraph
companies answer tlio cn.se well be,
tried on its merits beforo tho state
board. Telegraph rates in Nebrusku
were changed a few months ago bo
that Lincoln and some other cities
suffered a slight increase.
LOVED CONSUL BAKER.
Cltlinift of Iluenoe Ayrcn Nhow Apprecia
tion of IJU Hcrilcrs.
E. L. Iiakcr of Lincoln has received
ft photograph of tho bronzo tablet
prepared by the citizens of Buenos
Ayres in memory of his futher, tho late
Edwttrd Lewis Ilukcr, whose long term
as United States consul was closed by
death last August. This tablet is a
beautiful work of art. Experts de
clare that it is as fine as anything of
the kind produced in Europe. The
native and foreign citizens of liuonos
Ayres united in raising a fund for thin
testimonial. Tho subscriptions came
in so rapidly that it was necessary to
refuse further offers. After finishing
this tablet and erecting a smuller me
morial in tho Methodist Episcopal
church the committee hud still on hand
about 83,000 in Argentine money.
This wus used in lifting tho debt on
tho cemeterv used bv tho Amerlnnnu
nnd erecting u monument to Mr. Ilukcr
there also. Unusual honors wcro paid
to the consul by both governments.
Tho work done voluntarily by the.
people shows that tho services of tho
consul in the twenty-three years of his.
stay in Argentina wcro fully appro
ciatcd.
