WASHINGTON , Feb. 2. The feature of
the senate today was a very Epliltcd debito
on the confcrenco report on the Immigration
1)111. Mr. Gibson of Maryland opposed the
report and Mr. Ledge defended It. After
tv\o hours' struggle the report went over
and the Nicaragua canal bill was taken up ,
Jlr. Vllas continuing his remarks.
Mr. Teller of Colorado also entered the
debate In opposition to the measure. Early
In the day Mr. Chandler Introduced the fol
lowing resolution :
That It Is the scino of the senate that
the United States should not permanently
ncqulesco In thn Hlnslo Bold standard find
that the efforts of the Rovernmcnt In nil Its
brunches should bo steadily directed to se
em o the use of silver us well us of sold
ns a Htnndnrd money , with the free coinage
of both under a system of bimetallism to
be established through Intel national agtec-
mtnt. with such safeguards of legislation
us will ensure the parity of value of the
metalrt nt n Ilxcd ratio ; furnlsli a nulllclont
volume of metallic money and give Im
munity to the woild of truda from violent
lluctuiitlons of ratio.
Ho aaltl ho would call It up In a day erse
so for making a few remarks In striking
contrast to thobo made by the gold mono-
metalllst from Wisconsin ( Vllas ) and the
silver tnonometalllst from South Dakota
( Pettlgrew ) , who had Joined hands In Voting
ing against the bill for an international
monetary conference.
Mr. Ledge called dp1 the conference report
on the immigration bill and sought to secure -
cure its adoption. This was objected to
by Mr. Gibson , democrat of Maryland , who
made a point of order against the report
as a whole. lie declared the conference
committed had far exceeded Its powers and
hnJ Injected now legislation into the meas
ure , thus violating the rules of the spn te ,
Mr. Gibson said the bill had been to
changed that wives \\ould be separated from
their husbands , icpeatlng the cruelties of
slave days.
Mr. Ledge , in charge of the bill , de
fended the conference report and in vigor
ous terms arraigned the steamship lines
opposing this measure. Reports came today
that the pietJdent would veto the bill. No
president would make such a statement.
It cuine from the same quarter as that
sending the threatening telegrams to sen
ators. When a foreign corporation sought
to take senators by the thioat It was time
to limit this Insolent use of cotporato
power.
Mr. Ledge resented the statement that
the bill would separate man and wife and
renew the cruelties of slave days. The
bill sought to make a broad limitation
against lllltciacy and If an exception was
mada as to wives it would have to bo made
. . as to brothers , sisters , etc. There would
to none of the results depleted by Mr.
Gibson.
CANAL BILL UP AGAIN.
At the cioso of Mr. Lodge's remarks Mr.
Morgan called up the Nicaragua canal bill.
Mr. Teller , republican of Colorado , proposed
amendments to the hill as follows : The
lionds before mentioned shall not be guar
anteed and no money shall bo expended In
the construction of the canal until a survey
is made by a competent board of engineers
to bo appointed by the , president of the
United States and a complete plan prepared 3
for the entire work , and such plans shall to
bo approved by the president of the United 2G
States. Should It appear from the report of
cald board of engineers that thn cost of the
canal would bo more than $160,000,000 the
president shall reject the plan and the bonda
heretofore provided for hhalf not be granted
and the government of tlio United States
shall not assume liability In the construc
tion of said canal.
Mr. Teller said those who opposed the
1)111 were not responsible If legislation was
blocked.
Mr , Vllas offered a substitute for the canal
1)111 , which he asked to lie read and printed.
( Ho contested Mr. Morgan's declaration that
the concession did not expire April next. by

WASHINGTON , Fob. 2. As the reprc-
tcnlntlvea of their respective governments ,
Sir Julian Pauncefote , the British nmba sa <
dor , nnd Scnor Jose Andrade , the Venezuelan
minister to Washington , at half past four
o'clock this ftftcrnoon nt the state depart
ment signed a treaty providing for the set
tlement by arbitration of the long standing
dUputo over the boundary between Venezuela
and British Guiana , which has not only nip
lured the relations between the principals [
nnd kept them apart diplomatically for
jears , but has threatened to Involve the two
great KnglUh speaking nations in hostilities
Iho treaty was really complete several days
ago , so far as all of the detal's ' wore cca
cerncd , except the Insertion of ono name ,
and theio a blank wns left to fill In v.lth the
name of a British Jurist. Some dllHculty had
be-on experienced in finding the second meni ;
bcr of the British supreme tribunal who wab
willing to assume the arduous tnak of arbl-
tiator nnd also could be spared from the
bench. It was not until this morning that
word came over the cable that such a per
son had been found In Justice Collins , and
that his appointment had been ratified by the
British pi Ivy council , a ncco sary foimallty.
So all was ready for tbo blgnaturc of th ?
treaty , and Mr. Starrow , for Venezuela , callIng -
Ing at the state department about noon , ai-
runged that the signatory persons should
meet about 5 o'clock at the state department
for the purpose ot signing. Mr. Ci Idler , ths
chief of the diplomatic bureau of the state
department , had prepared the cories of the
treaty for signature , both being In Englhh
and , unlike the general arbitration treaty ,
being printed on thick red-edged paper.
Sir Julian came to the state department
just before 4 o'clock In companv with his
attache , Henry Outram Bax-lronside. Sonoi
Andrado followed in a short time with Mr
Storrow , and the parties were shown at enceInte
Into Secretary Olney's private oince , when
the secretary was awaiting them. A few
minutes delay occurred before Senor Polite ,
the attache ot the Venezuelan legntlon , came
In , and then the party proceeded at once to
the business of the day. Mr. Crldler and
Mr. flax-Ironside made a careful comparison
of the two copies , and then Sir Julian signed
both of them. Scnor Andrade placed his
name after Sir Julian , Mr.Crldler affixed the
seals , with the aid of Mr. Blantord , private
secretary to Mr. Olney , and the treaty was an
accomplished fact , save the single net of rati
fication by the Venezuelan congress.
The signatures were written with a special
pen , a beautiful gold holder , and nib , tipped
with an eagle feather and oinamcnted v\lth n
gold heart studded with dlimonds. This waa
sent from Venc/uela for the purpose and will
bo the property of Scnor Andre , brother of
the minister.

could not bo found. On Sunday Bell was
seen by n number of people -In the Third
ward and he- had not concealed himself on
Monday , but the police were not nppaiently
ready to act In the case at that time.
Bell was very communicative upon the
subject of the fight , and freely told the of
ficers every detail In connection with the af
fair. Ho told how > the mill was arranged by
a number of "dead games" and the place
selected. The prize was ? 14 which was placed
in the hands of a saloon keeper whose place
of business Is not far from the corner of
Sixteenth and Vlnton streets.
He said the mill took place In a barn In
the rear of the same saloon and 'the audience
was a lirge one. Bell gave the names of a
number who wcro present and also the names
ot the icferee. The police issued wai rants
for the arrest ot these parties , but de
cline to make them public until they are
taken Into custody. The names of the men
who participated are , however , already known
to The Bee.
Bell states that Just-before going Into the
ring ho saw the $14 prlzur money In the hands
of the proprietor of the saloon , who was
tending bar. In file < flsht , which ensued ,
he' says ho went In fur-fottiod. but Is now con
vinced that the disposition of the prlrc money
was "fixed" before thof affair took place , so
that neither ho noprSherroy should get any
of It. a , * i
He says that when time was called he nnd
Shorroy went at cachfother hammer and
tongs , and that thet fight was more on the
plan ot a knock-down-andrdrag-out affair than
those conducted according to the regular
rules of the sawdust 'arena. Bell says he
knocked Shorroy ddwir'SKtcen times while
hU opponent only sticciieded In flooring him
but four or five times. ' He figured he was
getting the best oft tha"flght. He alleges
that the referee , In' spite of the fistic work
ot Bell , continually RaXo adverse decisions
against him , and at length in the twenty-
first round , when * ho"vvoiit down before the
brawny fists of Sherroy , he lay quietly on
the floor and allowed himself to be counted
out. Bell says he did this because he
thought it useless to continue the scrap with
any hope upon his part of securing the prize.
Boll and Sherroy were both arraigned be-
foio Judge Gordon yesterday on a charge of
prize fighting. They pleaded not guilty and
the trial was sot for February 5. In default -
fault of giving Tends for their appearance
the prisoners "were sent 'to ' the county Jail a
to await trial.

Oroivth of the I atnon * Society o
Yonntr I'oonte.
February 3 1s not only n day when loca
prophets and prognosticates base th
weather of the future upon the ccccntrl
actions ot the ground hog , but Is also th <
anniversary of the organization of the Chrl '
tlan Endeavor society , now ono ot the larg
est bodies ot young people engaged In re
ligious work In the country.
The first society was founded In WlllUtoi
church , Portland , Me. , on February a , 1SS1
by Dr. F. E. Clark , pastor of thn church.
The society was organized with fourteen
I members , the oldest being about 15 years
' of age. The same pledge that ts used to'Jij
In the many societies was first signed by
these fourteen young people. It was thought
at the time of the organization that tbo
pledge was much too severe to b e Kept by
persons so joung. H was Dr. Clatk's plan ,
, however , to make the life between the world
nnd the church more distinct.
The second society was organised In Now
burj port , Mass. , In October , and by June
1SS2 , five societies had been formed. Soon
after the five societies held the first convcn
nII
tlon In the history ot the movement a
Portland , Me , It was thought marvelous a.
the time that a number from a neighboring
society walked n distance of sevcnty-flvi
miles to be present at the convention.
Each jcar thereafter until the picscnt
time the annual conventions have been con
tinued , The attendance has Increased from
a few hundred at the first meeting In Port
land to the great assemblies held at New
York City , Boston and Washington , D. C. ,
which have had the enormous number of
40,000 and over enrolled In attendance.
In 1887 Dr. Clark was made president of
the united societies , which position ho lias
held until the present day.
The first Idea of the society was that It
should bo Interdenominational. It was such
until the annual convention ot Cleveland ,
when the Methodist denomination withdrew
and formed an Independent organization of
Its own. All other denominations recognize
the members of the Endeavor society In
their churches. The Methodist church of
Canada , however , Is still with the Endeavor
movement.
An amusing story Is related about the
largo dally newspapers in New York City
which refused to make any public announce
ments for the coming convention. Up to
that Ime the papers of the land had failed
to note the rapid advance of the movement.
Ono hotel proprietor In Now York offered
to take care of all the delegates who would
be apt to attend the convention. There was
a great change of feeling , however , when
40,000 young people swarmed the streets ot
the city. When the newspapers saw what
the convention -was like , the reporters
swarmed the office of the Christian Endeavor
secretary for information. For a Joke the
papers were given some pamphlets eight
> oars old , which had been used year * be
fore , and this was published as fresh news
In the dally papers In 1892.
The Endeavor movement has become
world-wide. At * present Dr. Clark is In
Australia meeting the various societies In
that far-distant country , while on a journey
around the world. There are today 2,830,710
members and 47,279 societies. During the
past jcar 231,900 young people have joined
evangelical churches through the Christian
Endeavor societies.

Pretty nearly 100 suppers were served , free
ol charge and with absolutely no strings nt
tached to them , late jesterday afternoon at
Bishop's dining room , 1517 Capitol avenue ,
for the purpose of exemplifying the "brother
hood of man. " The local theosophlcal society
took that means of giving to Omaha an ob
ject lesson of that principle.
jcw The "free biotherhood fcuppcrs , " as they
wcro called on the cards of invitation , did
not smack of the flavor of any advertising
dodge , because at no time of the proceedings
was a mention made of theosophy or of the
theosophlcal meetings that are bring held , or
moro particularly ot the fane that was held
last night. As a matter of fact many of the
people wjio ate the suppers did not know who
Piw
PiT giving them or what they were all for.
The ! word theosophy did not appear on the
Invitation.
The ) whole object ; of the affair was to give
n lesson to Omaha In practical charity , ap
parently. : Incidentally It furnished an op
portunity < to nearly 100 needy people to get
Ptli good square meal. The big majority of
the diners were evidently laboring men out
of a job. There were some newsboys , a
few "hobos , " and several women also in the
crowd. There were veiy few In the number
who inn up against a free meal very often
Everybody who made application was given
ticket , was accommodated with a seat at
one of the tables , and was given all he or
she could cat.
The meals weio of good quality , consisting
of the best In the maikct. They were served
on about eight tables In the restaurant which
wcro set aside for the guests. The regular
waiter girls served the food as promptly nnd
ag courteously as If the diners were the cus
tomers of the place. The supper began at
4:30 : : o'clock and lasted till nearly C.
Shoitly after the first of the guests took
their ? peats Burcham Harding , the theo-
sophlcal lecturer , who Is holding meet
ings In the city at the present tlmo , made
little talk. In which the word theosophy
again did not appear. Ho said that the
suppers were served free simply to glvo
example of the knowledge of the broth
erhood of man , and he hoped that when
the guests dispersed they would try to
help along the cause by giving a lift to
somebody when they 'wcro able.
Luclan H. Copeland , who Is a member
the local society , also made a few re
marks. He- said that this means was taken
showing the rich how to assist their
poor and unfortunate fellowmen. He also
said something along the lines of Hard-
ing's talk. I u t
After tlicao , brief remarks the diners weio
allowed to continue their suppers without
further ; Interruptions. Others who came In
afterward did not know to whom they were /
Indebted for the suppers. A few stopped to
thank the theosophlsts , but the greater
number passed out ot the door without a
word. I"
"Somo tlmo tbo brotherhood of man will ,
recognized nnd practiced to ways lllto
this , " says Lecturer Harding. "Then the
rich will not bo anathematized. "

Durcham I Harding delivered another of his
lectures last night at Washington hall. "If
° are to bo made perfect In this life , " ha
, "It must bo conceded that there 1 $ le-
Incarnatlon , Anjone would say that It was
height of folly to believe that In a single j
lifetime Jiian could be himself pcifcct , and '
admit that much Is the same us admit
lelncarnatlon. "
In the course of his lecture Mr , Harding
the most prominent objection raised
against : : the theory ot iclncarnatlan was that
people cctilJ not remember their previous
lives. To this ho sayj that thoie who re
to accept a previous exlstenco of soul
hardly expect to obtain knowledge from
cource whose very existence they deny ,
"It U fortunate , " ho said , "that the past
buried I In oblivion , While we lenialn uii-
the dominion ot the senses , memories
other lives would elate or depress , unlit-
us for present occupations. The soul
etalns : every memory of past lives ; all are
ecorded there , and will be known to us
\lien thu consciousness of tbo soul is re-
alnod , "
Some found the Idea of reincarnation dls-
asteful , fearing the lota of their Identity ,
the toui retained Identity , he ( aid. It
the soul which Inched this fear of
loss of Identity.
"And , " he said , "this universal desire
seems an Instructive proof of relncarna-
. "
The local Theosophlcal society will hold
iieetlngs every Sunlay at 3 p. m. at Odd Pel-
' hall. The work now being conducted
specially i dolgned for beginners , All are

LESSONS IN NEWSPAPER MAKING.
How many pounds make a ton ?
. 2,000 pounds.
You would not take J 800 , or 1700 , or J 600 pounds
for a ton if you knew it , would you ? Of course not
well , then
Look at this
object lesson taking eight pages ( the average daily is"
sue ) of four newspapers , as a basis :
The Omaha Bee Columns are 21 7-8 in. long- .
World Herald Columns are 21 3-8 in. long1 ,
Lincoln Journal Columns are 21 1-8 in. long- .
Sioux City Journal Columns are 19 5-8 in. long1.
Each line of The Bee is J3i ems wide. Each line of
the others only 13 ems wide. This short weight doesn't
seem much , but in each 8-page paper we have this result
The Omaha Bee prints 292,010 ems or 697 inches.
World Herald prints 272,016 ems or 622 inches.
Lincoln Journal prints 269,624 ems or 616 inches.
Sioux City Journal prints 250,572 ems or 572 inches.
Don't you see THE BEE gives you 75 inches more
space , or 31 colums , nearly one-half a page more than the
World Herald ; 81 inches , nearly 4 columns , more t an
the Lincoln Journal ; 125 inches , or about 6 columns , more
than the Sioux City Journal ? In one week this amounts
to more than four pages of the World Herald , and with The
Bee's Saturday supplement , eight pages or a whole paper.
That's equivalent tto eight Bees to seven World Heralds
each week , or nine pages more than the Lincoln Journal ,
or eleven and one-half more than the Sioux City Journal
each week.
This is only the quantity of the news we'll have
lessons on quality later.
DO YOU READ THE OMAHA BEE ?
