Presiden t McKhi ley has signed the joint resolution and is writing the message to Sjtainto EVACU ATE CUBA. This dction will receive the uni versal approval of the people of the United States. Edward Bellamy, the famous author, is said to be dying of consumption at Denver. 'Gov. Holooxb has announced in a letter to a friend at Wisner that lie will not be a candidate for governor a third terra. The president's message, which some patriots were so bitter in denonncing, brought no encouragement to the friends of Spain. Coal will be regarded as contraband of war in the supply of warships. Un til war is actually in progress, no ob jection can of course be made. The general character of a country is determined by the individual character of its citizens. Let every one do his beat at all times, and the sum of effort will tell in the general welfare. The American Steel company at Bal timore has received a contract from the Russian government to make rails for the trans-Siberia railroad. The order will involve an expenditure of several million dollars. Each of the six-millimetre, rapid fire, automatic guns which have been sent to the navy yards of late is calculated to be equal in destructive potentiality to a regiment of infantry. The government has fifty of them ready for use. They are about three feet long and about eight inches in diameter. Thbec inches of rain fell near Louis ville, Nebr., Sunday afternoon, washing out the tracks of the Missouri Pacific and Bock Island railroads, causing a serious wreck to a passenger train on the latter. The engine and baggage car were demolished, but strange as it may seem no one was injured. It is said to be the heaviest rain in that section in many years, and was accompanied with much hail. We have learned one thing since the Maine was destroyed, and that is that we have some good, clear, cool-headed men among onr officers. Gen. Lee and Captain Sigsbee have each demonstrated that they are men of excellent judgment and know whnt to do in emergencies. If they may lie taken as a standard of the officers of our army and navy, we need have no fear of being outgeneraled when it comes to engagements, either on land or sea. Coxokess is discussing means of re vising the reveune tax in order to raise money to carry on the war, which now seems inevitable. The revenue on beer will be doubled 82 instead of $1 per barrel; a revenue stamp will be affixed to all mortgages, deeds, releases, etc, the revenue on tobacco will le largely increased, and ull patent medicines and nostrums will be taxed. Bank checks and drafts will also bear a revenue stamp, and things will look much like they did in 18GT. The New York Life Insurance Co. h8B offered the government a loon of $10, 0(10,000 on such terms as the government may think just. The disbelieving of the old world may learn that "a government of the people," has not yet nor is not likely for a whilo to perish from the earth. It seems as though Uncle Sam may have tendered him all the funds he will need; now if the congressmen will give us a good postal savings bank law, we will have an excellent working prin ciple for all time. Bradlet, the great cartoonist on the Inter Ocean, hits the nail on the bead every time. In "It takes three to make a bargain" he touches a phase of the Cuban question. Spain is represented by a man as delating an armistice; Maine is a strong man with a sword across Spain's throat; Insurgent, anoth er man with a sword across the treach erous throat. So far as fight with this country is concerned, it will be found that the United States, through it all, will be mindful of the Maine, and will be anxious to whip Spain on general principles. The U.S. senators and representatives from Nebraska at the seat of govern ment are all in favor of war against Spain. Senator Allen's reasons are briefly a fair statement of the general view, that war is justifiable on four grounds, first, that of humanity; second because of the blowing up of the Maine; third, because of the wilful murder and unlawful imprisonment of American citizens in Cuba and the constant con fiscation of their property; fourth, be cause the presence of the Spanish gov ernment in the Island of Cuba is a steady menace to the welfare and social order of the western hemisphere. At Malaga, Spain, Friday rioters smashed in the windows at the Ameri can consulate, damaging some of the furniture. The American escutcheon was thrown to the ground amid "vivas" to Spain, to the army and navy, and "death to the United States, and death to the pig yankees." Several groups carried with them banners upon which had been printed representations of the pig, now treated in Spain as the emblem of America, and as synonymous with AsMricans.

SbexxxxxxxxxxxxoggQQgKXK POPULAR LOAN THROUGH POS TAL SAVINGS BAXKS. When Postmaster General Gary pre sented his scheme of postal savings banks to congress the problem which seemed to be most perplexing was how the money deposited with the goiern ment was to be invested. That question will find a ready answer in case the country shall drift into war. In case of war with Spain the country must raise the sinews of war by borrow ing several hundred million dollars. An issue of short-time bonds or treasury notes bearing from 2 to 3 per cent in terest has been suggested as the most feaeiblejplan for meeting the emergency. Such an issue of bonds in denominations of $50 and upward would, according to professional financiers, constitute a popular loan of which at least $."i00,000, 000 could be easily floated. A much more popular and more feasi ble way of raising a war loan would be through the establishment of a postal! savings bank system, experience lias demonstrated that an jssue of 'bonds scattered among the people Booner or later finds its way into the bank vaults and in due time is converted into big blocks in the hands of the millionaire coupon clippers. A popular loan through postal savings banks would remain in the hands of the common people and would constitute an invaluable adjunct to our money circulation whenever there might be a scarcity of enrrency. A postal saviHgs bank certificate would always be as good as a national banknote. The greatest value of postal savings banks to the people is their absolute safety. They are, moreover, a stimulus to thrift and patriotism. The wage workers who constitute the vast majority of savings bank depositors be come the creditors of the nation and their personal interest in the stability of the government will impel them to np hold its integrity and credit. From every point of view, therefore, except that of the bond broker and speculator, the most effective way to popularize a government war loan would be by opening the postoffices as savings depositories and borrowing the war fund directly from the masses. Such a loan would not bar out all people who do not possess $30 or S100 but would enable every man, woman and child who has a dollar saved up to place it at the disposal of the government at the lowest possible rate of interest without the aid or consent of any middleman whether he be a curbstone broker or a bond syndicate financier. If the postal savings bank has any true friends in congress they will pres ently have a chance to show their hands. Omaha Bee. Congress Declares the Span ish Must Leave Cuba. END OF HISTORIC SESSION.

Whereas, The abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the island of Cuba so near our own borders have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States have been a disgrace to Christian civil ization, culminating as they have in the destruction of a United States bat tleship and 26K of its officers and crew while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot longer be en dured as has been set forth by the president of the United States in his message to congress April 11, Ih98, pan which the action of congress was invited ; therefore, be it.

HISTORIC SESSION OF SENATE. Senators right to last If laate ror Recog nition of Cabana. Washington-; April 19. The tocsin of war has been sounded by the Amer ican congress. At 1:15 o'clock this morning the senate received the report of the conference committee of the two branches of congress and 12 minutes afterward had adopted it. There was a fight to the last minute, however, the advocates of recognition of the inde pendence of the island standing to gether until they were fairly knocked down by a vote of 43 to 35. The minor ity vote was cast by those who wanted radical action and insisted that the resolution should carry with it recog nition of the independence of the Cuban republic. The adoption of the conference report brought to a close ouc of the most inter esting and tumultuous sessions of the senate held in years. Such scenes of confusion and excitement have rarely been witnessed in the ordinarily staid and dignified body as characterized its proceedings from noon yesterday until nearly 2 o'clock in the morning. Oae Overwhelming Qnestleo. Interest in all other questions was dwarfed into insignificance by one, the overwhelming question of war, war which all regard as inevitable. Ef forts were made to transact the regular business of the senate bnt it was with the utmost diffidence that senators per formed the work. Among those who remained on the floor while the sun dry civil bill was under consideration, the confusion was so great that busi ness could scarcely proceed. Notwith standing the vie : president effort to preserve order the members gathered about earnestly discussing the various phases of the question of the hour. A feeling of bitterness grew up between the senate and the house during the late afternoon and evening, that at one time seemed likely to delay action. Coolsr counsels prevailed, however, and a determination of the momentous question was finally reached. Those who were fighting for recogni tion of the island republic early decided that the senate should not take the in itiative in requesting a conference be twefnthe two houses. They further resolved that when the senate con ferees were finally appoiuted at least two of them should represent the ma jority sentiment of the body. The radical advocates of independence slowly, but none the less surely, lost ground, however, being swept back by the powerful and compact minority op posed to them. They yielded only after one of tho bitterest contests in the his tory of the senate. They capitulated, bnt did not surrender. Tho scene in the senate even up to the minute of adjournment was one of wonderful beauty and impressiveness. Many women were in the corridors. On the floor were the makers of the coun try's history awaiting the verdict from the conference committee. When fin ally it came there was a hush in the great chamber, which a few seconds before had been thrilling with anima tion. A verdict had been returned and accepted by the senate, the great audi ence dispersed quietly, almost solemnly. All realized that the verdict meant war and the action taken vras too moment ous to inspire anything less than awe. Force Senate to Yield. Washington, April 19. The house after one of the hardest and most des perate fights in its history succeeded in forcing the senate to yield the main contention in the war resolution, the independence of the existing govern ment in Cuba. With that exception the house accepted the senate resolu tions. The Republicans who joined the Democrats to concur in the senate amendments entire rallied 14 votes at one time and on every vote thereafter the vote dwindled. When the final vote was taken shortly before a. m, S10 votes were cast for the declaration upon which we are going to war, if war it is to be. Six votes only were cast against it. They included five Republicans and one Democrat. Efforts to Secare Warships Abandoned. Washington, April l:. It was stated at the navy department this afternoon that the efforts to secure the Chilean battleship O'Higgins have been prac tically abandoned and that there is no longer any prospects that the United States desires or will be able to secure any more warships either belonging to foreign na tions or being built in for eign ship yards. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said this afternoon that it was more than probable that the de partment hereafter would confine its efforts in this direction to the acquire ment of yachts, tugs and small craft generally for the purposes of the auxil iary navy. Civil Service Law Upheld. Washington, April 19. In the United States supreme court an opinion was delivered by Justice Harlan in the cases involving the constitutionality of the civil service law of the state of Illinois. The case involved the application of the law to the superintendent Of police requiring him to supply a list of va cancks, etc He refused to comply, taking the case into the courts upon the plea that the law was contrary to the federal constitution. Justice Harlan's opinion affirms the opinion of the state court and sastains the constitutionality of the law. The decision was based on the face that the case did not present UST HOPE OF THE DONS Try to Prejudice tne Cubans Against United States.

Copyright, 1889, by New York Journal. Madrid (via Biarritz). April 19. Yesterday Spanish efforts were re doubled in order to induce the Cuban insurgents to acorn United States inter ference. The Spaniards are trying to make the insurgents believe that the United States seeks the annexation of Cuba rather, than the fostering of a Cuban republic They are endeavor ing to convey to the Cubans the idea that the utter would be better off in the enjoyment of a merely nominal suzerainty of the mother country than as part of the American republic Reports are being sedulously 'circul ated here that General Gomez and Gar cia are being reached upon the basis in dicated. How Spain grasps at straws may be illustrated by the fact that she pretends to expect aid from Mexico. Upon this point the plea put forward in military clubs and Spanish journalistic circles is that, as Texas was taken from Mexico by the United States, the latter is the common enemy of the countries ruled by President Diaz and the queen regent. Most frantic efforts are being made to get the great powers to interfere to as to preserve, at least nominally, the sov ereignty of Alfonso XIII. ovc-r the Pearl of the Antilles. To this end the Mon roe doctrine is distorted to mean not the prevention of the further extension of European power upon the American continent, not America for the Amer icans, but the world for Americans. Today is given oat the information that the strictest secrecy wiil be ob served in future regarding Spanish military and naval preparations. Spanish newspapers must not publish news regarding such preparations or movements of battleships, under pen alty of being punished according to the military code. latin Raea Combine. In addition to gaining time the Span ish energies are !"ung directed toward winning the symp;hy of the powers, toward getting Central and South American republics upon the side of Spain; toward solidifying the Latin race against those whom they disdain fully call Yankees. The hope is also cherisLed that should Spain be able to hold her own for a few months against the United States, the commercial elemental so strong in Am. erica that the merchants will force the Washington government to bring hostil ities to a close in a manner not unfavor able to Spain. Though the Spanish government opeujy repudiates today having taken the initiative with regard to the autonomist Cubans going to con fer with the insurgent chiefs , everbouy here knows that t he intimation to d so was sent from Madrid to Havana. The prime responsibility for this move ment is thrown by the Sagasta ministry upon the insular government. The steamers of the Spanish trans atlantic company are fast being con verted into warships. The report ol the Spanish commission which exam ined into the Maine explosion was pub lished in today's Official Gazette be cause, according to El Imparcial, "base passions blinded the American com mission." . The only expression of regret heard in Madrid this evening over the attacks made upon the American consulate in Malaga, where the United States flag was ignominiously dragged through the streets, is that the Spanish governor of Malaga will have to apologize to the "Yankee consul." James Creeuiax. SPEECH FROM THRONE. Appeals to Spaniards to Rally Around Young King. TORPEDO FLEET AT F0BT0 BI00. Captain Webb of Barfceatlae Morale Re ports the Arrival of Right of the Naval Wasps at Peace, Porto Rico Srvut of American Coasal at Malaga Killed by a Spanish Mob Daring a Riot. London, April 19. The Madrid cor respondent of the Daily Mail telegraph ing at 10 o'clock Monday evening says : "During the day the outlook has be come much worse and very gloomy views generally are entertained. A few persons more optimistic than tho majority trust that in a few days the present tension may be lessened. It is the general belief, however, that a rup ture is imminent. "The cabinet council met at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The session lasted three hours. Senor Sagasta, the pre mier, submitted a draft of the speech from the throne. Its tenor is not pre cisely known though it makes an ap peal to the highest patriotism of the nation. It summarizes the interna tional problem and points out that Spain has always presented an accom modating front in everything which did not diminish her sovereignty, though she only agreed to grant a ces sation of hostilities in Cuba when the pope made his request and the powers joined in counselling it. "The speech from the throne appeals to the Spanish people to raUyaroand the young king, save the country and grant to the government everything which may be necessary and urgent to defend the national honor and integ rity. I am informed that, although the speech is now definitely drawn up it may be still modified, but in any case Senor Sagasta will Tuesday morn ing deliver it to the queen regent who will open parliament accompanied by the king and the Infanta Isabel. "The opening ceremony is expected to be of an exceedingly interesting nature in view.of the crisis. The cab inet discussed various dispatches re lating to the Cuban question and the attitude of the United States. Senor Moret, secretary for the colonies, read a dispatch from General Blanco contain ing unfavorable news with regard to the attitude of the Cuban rebels. It seems that when the American senate commenced the discussion of, and voted in favor of the recognition of Cuban in dependence the rebels abandoned their intention of yielding to Spain in return for a broader measure of autonomy and there is a general popular distrust here as to any outcome of the negotiation with the rebels. "News respecting the progress of events in America is anxiously awaited, but in any case the government will maintain a firm attitude and will act energetically. It is pointed oat that weakness at the present time would be fraught with the utmost danger. The debate in the Spanish chambers will be commenced either Saturday or Monday next. "News of fresh encounters in the the province of Cebm in jhe Philippines has been received by the government, thus proving the existence of revolu tionary centers in that district. Two ' aristocratic families at Barcelona have j contributed $500,000 to the national subscription for the army. The inte ' grist, or anti-monarchial party will 1 hand over the independent subscription it is raising to the goveruient in case of war ? but should, there be no hostilities the money will be presented to Don Carlos." TORPEDO FLEET AT PORTO RICO. Captain Webb of Barkeatlae Morales Re ports Its Arrival. Provtncbtown. Mass., April 19. Captain Webb of the barkentine Mor ales, who reached this port from Ponce, Porto Rico, reports that on April 6, the day before he sailed from Ponce, eight Spanish torpedo boats arrived at that port from the Canards. Two Spanish men-of-war were there already. A Spanish cruiser also was sighted in Mona passage as the vessel sailed. Still Alter Pnerst Bismarck. London, April 19. The Berlin cor respondent of the Standard says that Lieutenant Commander Ni black United States naval attache at Berlin and at Rome is still negotiating for the pur chase of the Hamburg-American liner Fuerst Bismarck to be used as an auxil liary cruiser. Kills American Coasal Servant. London, April 19. A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Gibraltar says a telegram received there from Malaga reports a resumption of the riots at Malaga on Monday, that the American consul's negro servant was killed and persons in the crowd were injured.

Mayor Mac Vicar was an officer in the Pennsylvania National Guard for sev eral yeire and is well up in military tactics Fella Bank Derision. Chicago, April 1H. Judge Grosscup in the United States circuit court, handed down a decision in favor of R. R. Beard, receiver for the First Na tional bank of Pella, la., against Mil mine, Bodmau & Co., and C. B. Cong don & Co., stock brokers, in Chicago. The suit was brought by the receiver to recover funds which F. R. Cassatt, pres ident of the bank, had paid to the brokers before the failure of the bank in order to speculate on the board of trade. The decision of Judge Gross cup, unless it is reversed by the higher courts, establishes a precedent in recov ering bank funds spent in such a man ner. The grounds for bringing the suit were that the defendants knew the money was being lost and should have ascertained whether it belonged to Cassatt or to some institution with which he was connected. About 23, 000 is involved. Packing Boase Rates Staad. Chicago, April 1 9. Official notice has been filed by the Rock Island road cancelling its former notice of its in tention to restore the rate on packing house products from the Missouri river to Mississippi river crossings and Chi cago April 20. This notice makes it impossible for any advance on this class of freight to go into effect until after 10 days' additional notice has been given. A meeting of the interested lines will be held in St. Louis Thursday to see if some agreement cannot be reached to have all cut rates on this commodity withdrawn. Should that conference fail the Santa Fe will reduce ratei to the same basis as the rate on packing house products. Iadian Prisoners Uneasy. Denver, April 19. Telegraphic orders were received from Washington yesterday by Colonel Volkmar, adju tant general of the department of Colo rado, directing that a detachment of SO cavalrymen from the Seventh cav alry stationed at Fort Grant be dis patched at once to Fort Sill to guard tho Apache prisoners of the govern ment. It is said that since the issuance of the mobilization orders the Indian prisoners have displayed considerable uneasiness and that in outbreak among them is feared. Teachers Institute.

Neal, Shelly Westbrook & Co.'s elevator man at Sur prise. Neb., met with sudden death last week Tuesday evening at 6:30, which has cast a terrible gloom over onr little city. Mr. Wm. Boston, drayman, and Mr. Neal were hauling some straw on the dray wagon, Mr. Boston driving and sitting on the seat and Mr. Neal stand ing up behind the seat. The horses were going at a good fast gait and owing to a sudden start of the team Mr. Neal fell off the wagon, striking on his head, which produced very near instantaneous death. Dr. Beede was called but he was beyond the need of earthly doctors. In all probability death was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, or a fracture of the base of the brain; he never spoke after the fall. He leaves a wife, three small children and one brother, and was insured in different orders for over $6,000. Real Estate Truster.
