Dec. 2.

The cab inet today discussed briefly the presi dent's message, to which th finishing touches have been placed, except to that portion relating to the Philip pines.

Members cf the cabinet are unanimously of the opinion that the rebellion is on its last legs and that any day may s-e the end. "The Philippine question Is solving itself," is the way one member put it today.

HOLD SrSSION ON ROIERTS. rrotalueat Hcnse Repab'.lcaas Look lata His Ellfrlb lit j. WASHINGTON, Dec 2. At a Con ference .of about twenty-five promi nent house republicans held at the capitol tonight it was decided that thd eligibility of Representative" Robert? of Utah to occupy a seat in the house should be investigated and determined and that pending the decision he should not be permitted to take the cath of office. This decision was arrived at by those present without a dissenting voice. Representative Tayler of Obid, who will have charge of the matter in the house, explained after the confer ence had adjourned that this proceed ing docs not involve a pre-judgment of the case, but irrespective of party, will afford the members an oppor tunity to vote after a thorough Inves tigation and complete presentation of the case for consideration. Mr. Tayler had made a study of the allegations and precedents and pre sented them at length to his col leagues. He offered a plan of proced- i ure which was agreed to after a gen ! cral exchange of views. The proced ure is to be as follows: When Mr. Roberts appears at the bar of the house to take the oath ob jection is to be made upon the ground that he is ineligible. He will then step aside and after the other mem bers are sworn in the member mak ing the objection who probably will be Mr. Tayler will recite the allega tions and offer a resolution for their investigation by a special committee. This will give the house an oppor tunity to vote in the first instance on the question of postponing the ad ministration of the oath until after the allegations have been investigated. The resolutions have not been for multed yet, but they will include the investigation cf the charge that Mr. Roberts' alleged conviction of viola tion of the Edmunds act in 1889 ren ders him inel.gible by the terms of that act. whether the fact that he is an avowed polygamist renders him in eligible and whether tne state of Utah in electing him has not violated the compact by which it obtained state hood.

Major Coant Cleicbea, a Relative of the Qaeea Among List of Woanded War Oalce Hears From Mafekla Colonel Badea-Powelt Reports Conje lias ate Snared Force to Rlceters. LONDON, Dec. 1. The Post militaiy expert says: "Save for the list of .cas ualties there is still no news from Gen eral Metheun. He was among the wounded which may in a measure ac count for the prolonged uncertainty as to his 'present position. It is dif ficult to account for his description of fighting as desperate and hard, if the river divided the combatants. It is boped the wound which General Me suffered is not sufficiently important to deprive him of his command. "News from Mafeking brings our knowledge of the investment up to November 24, and despite a somewhat despondent telegram that supplied our latest previous information, we are convinced that Mafeking has in it still a good deal of fight The government has at last decided to mobolize the second division of the second army corps and it will doubtless be des patched as speedily as possible. We are living in a state of suppressed in terrogation. Every man has his little question to put at the proper time and at some one whom he desires to see pilloried. Before putting the question with which he is at present choking, let each man ask himself, when cavil ling at our unpreparedness, whether he would willingly pay the price of being prepared."

G METH SHOT r UTILE CHANGE IN HAYWAR1. I Past Tweaty-Foar loin Do Net Work Mack Chans. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Dec. 1. The condition of Senator Hayward this evening shows -little change from what it was twenty-four hours ago. He passed an uncomfortable night and has been very restless and uneasy today. Dr. Whitten spent most of the night at his bedside and has watched him close ly during the day. At 6 o'clock tonight he issued the following bullotin: "Senator Hayward has had a very restless day, having slept very little. His temperature is 100, pulse 89, regu lar and softer than in the morning;' respiration 24 and still intermitting. He is more conscious of his condition, as he manifested more concern about himself. Paralysis remains the same." The fact that the patient is more conscious of his condition is taken by Dr. Whitten as a good symptom,, in that it shows that his mind is brighter. .and more free, indicating partial ab sorption of the clot, and yet if he be comes greatly concerned and worried the effect is likely to be unfavorable. Major E. B. Hayward, the senator's brother, together with his wife, arriv ed from Davenport, la., at 9:30 this morning and has been at his brother's bedside almost the entire day. The scene in the sick room upon .he major's entrance was very affecting. Senator Hayward recognized his brother in stantly and apparently made a supreme effort to speak to him. Failing to utter a single intelligible word, he burst into tears and could not be quieted for some time. Mrs. Hayward was finally pre vailed upon to take a few hours' rest last night and as a consequence is feel ing much better physically today. How ever, her concern about her husband's condition is as great as ever. HIGH PRICE FOR RANGE STOCK. Stern Sold at Denver Brine the Highest . Price Since 1885. DENVER, Dec. 1.

Winter Agrlcaltnral Conrar. LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 2. The uni versity of Nebraska has issued a circu lar descriptive of the winter course in the school of agriculture The people in charge of the school realize the fact that most farmers' sons and daughters cannot afford to spend the time and money required in the preparation for and completion of the regular college course and keeping this in view they have prepared a short practical course of three months, beginning January 2, 1900, and ending March 17. It provides for studies of soils, field crops, diseases of farm animals breeding of live stock, feeding of like stock, dairying, horti culture, agriculture, engineering, car pentry and blacksmithing. insects in jurious to crops, plant pests, farm ac counts and English. An explanation given in the circular of the manner in which the instruction is gives shows that the student obtains much of it by means of actual practice and observa tion. Not that he will be expected o do the work on the farm wwith which he is already familiar, but such opera tions as stock judging, mi'k testin?. creamery operations, tree grafting, treating sick animals, etc. No exam inations are required for entrance, but a registration fee of f 1 is charged. The cost to each student last year for room rent, table board, books, etc., was about $36. In preparing the course of instruction the object has been to make it as prac tical as possible, to give the student something that win be of value to him when he returns to the farm. The in struction is given by means of lectures and actual practice. Excellent facili ties have recently been piovided at the state farm for giving Instruction in the most practical manner. A well equipped building has been erected, containing a dairy room, a rtot-g-judg-ing room and a laboratory for soil study. The methods of instruction are adapted to students of all iges. those having taken the work varying from 16 to i- years of age. To Senator anil Sirs. Tburslon. OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 2.
