Among those who know Mr. Windham, their is no question as to his qaalifcations. and his long residence in the state haa identified him with all its interests. Mr. Windham does not be long to any faction, and his friends think he would be acceptable to all in terests.

Nebraska is redeeming herself with an open winter ever since one week before Christmas. . How soon the few warm days of last week knocked the bottom out of the bog and cattle market. An examination of the fruit buds on peach trees reveals lire buds enough to make some peaches, unless we have unfavorable weather later in the season. This Monday looks like another snow. Hogs and cattle that are being fatten ed for the market are doing aa well as they usually,-do in October, when the weather ia just right, the few cool nights before holidays, put them on their feed. If the attention of the county fathers was called to the need of a new and better court house for Platte county at tins time, we believe that their pride would at least direct them to give the matter consideration.

There is good prospect now of the irrigation ditch being placed on the upland, where the real farmers can get water, which will assist them in raising still larger measures of corn, wheat and other cereals, and then the old ditch must be tired of plodding along in the low land, running opposition to Lost Creek in furnishing moisture and nour ishment to plant life on the alkali patches through which it traverses.

Ineurgsnts Slay Leader of Govern ment Forces and Sink ths Gunboat Lautaro Insurgent Ships Also Un der Firs af Shore Batteries. Panama, Jan. 21. A naval battle between the government ships and the revolutionary fleet took place off here yesterday. General Carlos Alban, the military commander of this district, and the governor of Panama, was killed during the fighting. Ths revolutionary fleet consists of the steamers Padllla, Darlen and Gal tan. They tried to force a landing off Saoana. The government ships are the Chil ean line steamer Lautaro, the Pacific Steam Navigation company's steamer Chicuito. and the Panama Canal com pany's steamer Boyaca. The revolutionary gunboat Padllla surprised the Lautaro at the opening of the fight and began shooting at close range. Many men on board the Lautaro were killed. Fire broke out on the Lautaro and later the crew of the United States cruiser Philadel phia went to her assistance and at tempted to put out the fire. While they were thus engaged the Lautaro sank. It is reported here that the Lautaro'8 crew rebelled and that the firing of the vesel was an act of trea son. Some of the men killed on board the government ship Lautaro have been brought ashore, where they are being buried. The revolutionary gunboat Darlen went alongside the Philadelphia for the purpose of a conference. The firing haa ceased. It is impossible to locate the revolutionary gunboat Gal tan. The slow movements of the Pa dllla, which are noticeable from the shore, lead to the belief that she has been damaged. The guns at Las Bo vedas fired several shots at the rebel fleet. The government gunboat Boy aca has just moored to the dock here. She brings troops from Chliianl. She reports that the revolutionary steam ers Padllla, Darlen and Galtaa drew off when they became aware of her presence. The Darlen Is now report ed to be in a sinking condition.

Lard Cranhsvrns Makes a Statement In Parliament Regarding the Pro posal of Austria and Other Powers ts Intervene. London, Jan. 21. Amid an absolute silence, that was n striking tribute to the deep interest felt in the matter. Lord Craabourae, under secretary for foreign affairs, In the house of com mons, yesterday made the first official atatememt which has ever emanated from ths British government regard ing Ita private attitude toward the United States in the war with Spain. The subject of the proposed Euro pean intervention In the Spanish American war was brought up by Hen ry Norman, liberal, in the form of a question asking whether any commu nication proposing or concerning joint or collective sctJon by the European states. In view of the outbreak, or ex pected outbreak, of the late war be tween the United States snd Spain waa received from the Austrian or any other government, and If so, what was the mature of the reply 0 jfeer majes ty's government. Mr. Norman further Invited Lord Cranbourne to toy the papers In the case on the table. Lord Cranbourne, replying, aaid that before the Spanish-American war the British government agreed to joia hi a note to the president of the United States expressing the hope that further negotiations would re sult In a peaceful settlement, but the government declined to associate Itself with subsequent proposals which seemed to be open to the objec tlom of putting pressure on the gov ernment of the United States. This statement was received with a burst of ringing cheers, such as sel dom greets the mere answer of n par liamentary question. Inquiries made by tie Associated Press concerning the "subsequent pro posals" mentioned by Lord Cran bourne elicited Important Information from the foreign office. There It was stated that Great Britain had twice been formally approached on this mat ter, but only once after the com mencement of hostilities between Spain nnd the United States. The occasion upon which Great Brit ain deliberately put her foot down waa, according to the foreign office, when the Austrian ambassador at Lon don Interviewed Lord Salisbury and asked him If Greet Britain would be willing to join In a collective note from the European powers urging the United States to desist from war with Spain. Such a note was not to threaten reprisals or Intervention, but waa to be in the nature of a strong protest and a plea for arbitration. Lord Salisbury, so the representative of the Associated Press wss informed, regarded this proposition as unwar rantable Interference In the affairs of a friendly country and frankly said so, declaring that Great Britain would not be a party to any auch steps, es pecially In view of thetote President McKInley's attitude toward the ante bellum efforts of European powers to avert war. The forelga office heard nothing more on this subject, the matter of a collective note apparently being dropped. Regarding the much disputed point as to what powers were previously pre pared to slga this aote, had Great Brit ain acquiesced thereto, the following statement from a high official of the foreign office, through whose hands all secret dispatches passed, had best be given In his own language. This official said: "We have ao documentary evidence to prove that any power other than the oae which formally approacned aa was concerned in thia effort to aend a collective note to the United States, the purport of which, however polite the wording, must naturally have been that of a threat. We had at the time, however, every reason to believe that this power was merely put forward as a sort of -buffer In order to sound us nnd that France, Germany aad Russia were behind her and oaly awaiting our asseat formally to anaouace their owa. We have never had reason to change that belief, which In tie case of France, amounta to moral certaia ty." Prince Henry's Itinerary. Berlin, Jam. 21.
