last week by Stewart's presenting a
letter addressed to him by a party
signing himself "A friend" and enclosing -
ing $10 , with a request that Stewart
hang the jury trying g case in which
Rawlings was interested. Rawlings
paid the fine , but refused to take back
the $10 , curiously stating that he had
no title or interest in it The money is
still in Judge Hall's possession , and if
Rawlings does not change his mind it
w ill be turned over to some charitable
organization. It is said that Rawlings
intended to fight this case , but when
he sate the evidence he wilted.
ALBERT MARBLE and Nate Hagen-
camp of Phelps county tell a strange
story on their return from a hunt up in
Scotts Bluff and adjoining counties ,
and they bring the badly burnt fore
wheels of the wagon to verify it They
had 800 shells in a trunk , and as they
were driving along the shells , by some
unaccountable means began to explode.
Very soon the contents of the trunk
were all aflame and the fire reached
the coal oil jug and exploded it. With
great presence of mind the men fought
the flames and llr. Marble threw out a
sin pound can of powder which was
under the seat , thus averting certain
death. With all their efforts they could
save nothing but the front wheels of
the wagon and what clothes they had
on their backs. One wheel had three
spokes burned out , butt held up to carry -
ry them home.
Irrigation Water Rights.
Irrigation in the western counties
and the value which this gives to the
water rights along the streams is bring-
; into the courts a steady flow of cas-
, where there are conflicting claim-
an ts for these rights.
One of these has been brought up to
life supreme court from Sioux county ,
which the district court went into
some questions that are likely to be of
interest to settlers in the irrigation regions -
gions In 1590 , or thereabouts , Jens C.
eng settled on land in Sioux county ,
hich was near a stream which is fed
Hat creek , IVar Bonnet creels , Zion
creek , Sow Belly creek , Boggy creels ,
Monroe creels , 11 est Hat and East Hat
creeks Charles T. Coffee , J. U. Morris , sl
. F. Brewster and others had before
this time settled on land bordering on
these streams , but above lIeng's.
There was no title held by any of these N
people except such as by custom they
got as squatters , until after the settle- vi
ment of Meng , about which time the
lands were surveyed and opened to set.fi
Clement by the government under the fi
homestead , pre-emption and umber
claim acts.
E1
When the value of the water to Meng
irrigation purposes was realized by
him he found that his neighbors above
him had appropriated all the water that
was available This was in 1893 , and
Meng went into court and asked for an
order restraining these people from diverting - of
verting the water from the streams for
their exclusive use.
The district court held that although
the settlers had obtained their right to
use the water under a squatter settlement -
ment , that the prior occupancy and use
rested in them the right. It was held
that life common law right to use the T
ater of the stream carried with it the
right to use the n ° ater for all domestic :
purposes , and the trateringof the herds
the defendants was one of these do-
estic uses , even though they might in
ve thousands of cattle in those herds.
The temporary injunction which hail
been granted to Meng was dissolved
the defendants declared to have
right to use the water for all necessary 1
essary purpose , though this use might
exhaust the supply and leave Meng the
bed of the stream. ca

important for the Japanese

.
LONDGT , Nov. 12.-A dispatch received -
ceived here from Shanghai says that
the Japanese captured Port Arthur ,
the great northern naval station of
China , yesterday morning after meet-
in g with feeble resistance from life
Chinese , who laid down theft arms
and yielded themselves prisoners
after a shorn bombardment The
Chinese commanding officers aban-
d oned Part Arthur during the night
of November 6.
Port Arthur has been pronounced
impregnable by the naval experts of
Germany. L } Hung Chang has built
there three modern gun factories
w hich rivaled those of the Krupp ,
and the place was given over to the
assembling and making of modern
war materials. It is in some respects
similar to the Brooklyn or Norfolls
naval yards in the United States ,
although three times greater lit exz
. Moreover , Li Hung Chang had
centered there the pick of
the Chinese army. Great quantities
of war material and implements
for making them were secured. l'ime
capture is further important because
it gives to the Japanese a fortification
inside of China from which they cannot -
not easily be dislodged. The Japanese
ese soldiers will undoubtedly tnalse
the place a depot of operations and it
twill also afford a protected shelter
for the Japanese fleet while the gun
factories which have been the chief
reliance of Li Hung Chang will henceforth -
forth be at the service of Japan.
It is reported that some of the rep
resentatives of foreign powers will
start for Pekin immediately.
Advices from the armies commanded -
manded by Field Marshal Oyama ,
note operating on life Lcao Ton ;
peninsula , confirm the reports of Jap-
a nese victories atChn Chiu ( Itinchau )
and Talienwan. Last Tuesday morn-
in g one brigade of the Japanese
forces captured Chin-Chin and on the
next day Talienwan was bombarded
and also captured. tl British war-
s hip was at Talienwan during the
bombardment. After the place was
captured the warship started for Chee
1'00 , which is across the gulf of Pe-
Chi-Li , some eighty-five miles south
of Talienwan.
A dispatch from Tien Tsin by the
way of Shanghai , says that the em-
p eror and his court are preparing to
leave Pekin for Sing Janfu ( Tsing
Kiang Pu ) , in the province of
Kiattgsu , about ha miles northwest
of Shanghai.
UNCLE SAM FOR ARBITRATOR.
Japan Does Not Saenr to Re in n Great
Hurry About the Matter.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 13.-Up to noon
to-day Japan had not agreed to permit -
mit the United States to act as mediator -
ator in the war in the Orient
Lengthy cablegrams are passinghoty-
ever , between the Japanese capital
and Washington with the prospect
that a fins } decision will not be long
deferred. A cable from the Japanese
a uthorities was received this morning '
a sking for more explicit details. A
lengthy answer was sent giving not
only the details , but adding features
w hich , it is believed , will show the
Japanese government life desirability '
of time arrangement
China has formally notified Secre-
ta ry Gresham that she twill join Japan
in acknowledging the independence
of Corea , and will also pay a cash inin
demnity : Should Japan and China
accept the United States as a tnedia-
t 3 r , this country will occupy a commanding -
manding position in deciding Asiatic
questions which have heretofore had
the attention of the European powers
only. At present these powers are
endeavoring to reach an agreement
among themselves by which they
twill forcibly intervene.
The hesitation of the Tolso } authorities -
ities is taken to indicate that they
want China to 6x tits exact figures of
the cash indemnity. If Japan's reply
be favorable , an armistice would undoubtedly -
doubtedly be proclaimed by both
countries.

NUNS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Justice Doan of tire Pennsylvania Supreme
( ourt lefucoian ; Injunction.
PrrrsnuRG , Pa. , Nov. 13. - Justice
Dean of the state supreme court to-
d ay aflirmec } the decision in the case
of John Hysonget al vs the school district -
trict of Gallitzin borough of Judge
B arker , who refused an injunction to
prevent nuns from teaching in the
public schools dressed in life garb of
their order. In his opinion , which is
very lengthy , Justice Dean says :
"The courtafter full hearingfound
as a fact : There was no evidence of
any religious instruction or religious
exercises of any character whatever
during school hours. But the court ,
further found that , after school
] touts , he school room was used by
the teachers in Imparting Catholic religious -
ligious instruction to children of
Catholic parents , with the consent of
or by request of the parents. This
the court enjoined , because it was a
use of the school property for sectarian -
tarian purposes after school hours.
"Time school board committed no
unlawful act in selecting these Catho
lie women as teachers , because by
moral character and certified attainments -
ments they were qualified and their
religion did not disqualify. 'l'ime
dress is but the announcement of the
fact that the wearer holds a particu-
la r belief. ! 'he religious belief of
teachers and all others is generally
known to the neighborhood and to
pupils , even if not made noticeable in
the dress , for that belief is not secret ,
but is publicly professed.
"In the sixty years of existence of
our present school system this is the
first time this court has been asked to
decide , as matter of law , that it is
sectarian teaching for a devout
woman to appear in a school room in
a dress peculiar to a religious organi-
z ation of a Christian church. We decline -
cline to do so. The law does not so
say. "
GERMAN WAGES FACTS.
V ice Commercial lgeut Murphy of
Lnxernburg Gives Figures.
1VASIIINGTON , Nor. 13.-After an exhaustive
haustive examination of the wages
paid in the large manufacturing establishments -
tablishments of Luxemburg , which ,
he says , arc about the same as in
other parts of Germany , George H.
Murphy , United States rice commercial -
mercial agent there , transmits to the
state department a report in which
he declares that , generally speaking ,
the average earnings of ordinary
w orkmen amount to less than $ ° 00 per
annum. Women earn about half as
much as men. 'r91e average wages of
miners and foundry hands is less
than 51 per day. The salaries of pri-
m ary school teachers are $ ' .4 for
males and $170 for females. A
very large tnajotity of time em-
ployes of the government earn
less than $400 per annum. A
workman's expenditures for clothing -
ing and tent may possibly be some-
w hat less there than in America , but
in tire town of Luxemburg coal costs
5 7 per ton , eggs twenty-one cents per
dozen , rye flour three , wheat flour
five , sugar eight , butter twenty-five ,
beef nineteen , yea ] and mutton sixteen -
teen to twenty , fresh pork twenty
and smoked pork twenty-three cents
per pound. Frugality and industry
can hardly be expected to accomplish
any miracle greater than that of en-
a bling athrifty workman to keep out
of debt.
THE SEALING CATCH LARGE.
Despite Disadvantages lire Year's Total
Is the Largest on Record.
VICTORIA , B. C. , Nov. 13.-The Off-
vial statement regarding the pelagic
sealing of 189 } , compiled from log
b ooks sworn to , has been forwarded
to uttatva , London and Washington.
The hunters confined themselves to
the use of spears , brit only about half
the fleet were able to secure spears-
men , and these did remarkably well.
'l'ime total for the year is the largest
on record , the catch of the fifty-nine
vessels being 9"1,471 , against 70,33 ° for
the fleet of fifty-five in 1693 and 1,355
for the sixty-five schooners in 150. .
'There were engaged this year S1S
whites and 518 Indians.
One of the most important features
of the a holc report is the statement
shelving holy many of the seals taken a
in the Behring sea were bulls and
h ow many cons. The figures the co-
lector has obtained on oath go to
show that the proportion of bulls is
far higher than had been claimed by
some who fear the extermination of
the seal herds , and the conclusion ar- ul
rived at is quite different from that
pointed to by figures reported sent
from San Francisco to Washington a
few weeks ago.

NEBRASKA.
O tAuA , Nov. 8.-At midnight Assistant -
tant Secretary Rigg of the republican
state central committee was seen by a
representative of The Bee and asked far
a statement of the situation.
"You may say , " said Mr. Rigg , "that
the , republican state central committee
concedes the election of Judge Holcomb
by tt plurality of about ,000. In the
absence of Chairman Merrill , who has
retired far the purpose of getting a lit-
ti e rest after the strain of the past two
nights , I do not think it proper for mete
to offer any statement as to how or why
lie. Majors was defeated. We concede
his defeat and stop tt } th that 11'e believe -
lieve that the balance of the state ticket
is elected by from 7,000 to 10,000. We
also feel safe in claiming the election
of all six republican congressmen from
N ebraska. Our returns indicate a republican -
publican majority of 84 in the legislature -
ture on joint ballot. "
Complete returns from Omaha and
Douglas county show that the entire
republican legislative ticket and the
republican nominees for all offices in
the county and city were elected.
The World-Harald says that the republicans -
publicans will control both branches of
the next legislature. Tlic senate will
be as follow Republicans 67 , popu-
li sts 16 , democrats S , in doubt 9 : total ,
100. This will give the republicans
ninety-two on joint session. Sixty-
seven votes are necessary to elect a
United States senator.
In the First district Jesse B. Strode
is elected to congress by almost 4,000.
In the Second district Congressman
D. H. Mercer is re-elected by a majority -
ity of 612 over time combined rote of lis
t wo opponents. Mercer's majority over
Boyd is 4,400.
In the Third district 9 Congressman
lleilslejohn } s reelected by a plurality
of about 3,000.
In the Fourth district the contest between -
tween Plainer , republican , and Stark ,
populist , is close. 'The majority either
way will not be large.
In the Fifth district the contest is
also close. Andrews , republican , claims
to be elected over Mclieighan by about
1 , 000. r.
In the Sixth rem , populist , is probably -
ably elected.
Douglas county sends a solid repubpla
lican delegation to the legislature.
The Lincoln Journal claims a majority -
ity for Majors in Lancaster county of
ov er 3,000 , and in Douglas county of
about 1,000 being a reduction of its for-
m er estimates. In counties outside of
these two its returns showed that in
350 precincts Majors had :6,315 and
Holcomb had ° 9GUJ.
OMAHA , Nov. 9.-Official returns have
been received from all but two counties
in the Fifth congressional district.
W ith the missing counties closely estimated -
mated , Andrews has a plurality over
licreighan of 85' . ' .
The Bee has returns on governor
from seventy-nine counties in tb state ,
and partial returns from the other
eleven , which shott Holcomb's election.
The World says : Holcomb is elected
governor of Nebraska. His plurality ,
will be about ,318 cotes over Majors.
The basis counties and time outlying
voting precincts did it and saved Judge
Holcomb in spite of large gains in some
lo calities throughout life state.
Returns are still lacking from five
counties in the Third congressional
district , but life election of tileilslejoltn
is assured by a large plurality.
In the Fourth district there are still
four counties from which the official
officialha
returns are not known on congressman. ha
but Iiainer , republican , is re-elected by ]
substantial majority over both of his
opponents , Stark , populist-fusion , and
Alley , straight democrat.
There are several back counties to
be heard from in the Sixth district and LI
life race there is a close one between
Daugherty , republican , and Kent , pop-
ist. The indications are still favor-
ab le to the election of Daugherty by a
small majority.
