thing to Introduce them to the president.
Accordingly A telegram was sent to the white
house asking It the president would rccctvo
the Nebraska delegation , and visiting friends

cordial Interchange of courtesies and chat on
current events , but no reference to NcbranknV
change of heart from republican moorlnca.

WASHINGTON , March G. The republicans
of the house , anticipating the extra session
of congrccs , have arranged to hold a caucus
on the. evening of Saturday , March 13. The
call was Issued this morning by Repre
sentative Grosvenor , chairman of the caucus.
The spoakershlp will be decided upon then
and probably there will be no opposition
to the re-clcctlon of Mr. Reed. The method
of pnttlm ; the tariff bill through the house
and possibly of organizing committees may
be considered.
There will bo no opposition whatever to
the choice of Speaker Reed as the republican
candidate for another term In that position ,
There has been mention ot Mr. Grosvenor
of Ohio , and Mr. Hopkins of Illinois , as
possible candidates , but neither gentleman
dcolres to run. So well assured Is Mr. Reed's
election that members are already present

South Omaha News .
A few ilayi * ago Mayor Ensor caused to be
printed In an Omaha paper a statement show.
Ing the receipts from the gambling houses
slnco ho has been In control here , T-lio rec
ords , however , do not bear out the statement.
The mayor's report shows that the sum of
$1,250 has been collected from the gamblers ;
this Is supposed to be for the past ten months.
In tha treasurer's ofllco a record Is kept of
all money paid to the city by proprietors of
gambling IIOIIRCS and It shows that paymrnto
\\cre made as follows : June , 1S9C , four
houses , $200 ; In July the houses were sup
posed to bo closed for three weeks ; August ,
three houses , $ lf > 0 ; September , three houses ,
$1CO ; October , ono house , $50 ; Novsmbcr ,
three houses , $150 ; December , ono house , $50 ;
January , 4897 , two houses , $100 ; February ,
three houses , $1CO ; March , two houses , $100.
ily makes a total of $1,100 Instead of $1,250.
The report ROSS on to state that during the
first year Mayor Johnston was In ofllco the
gamblers paid In only $350. This Is an
error , as the books show that In 1894 the
gamblers paid Into the treasury the sum of
$900. It was the second year that Johnston
was In olllce that only $350 was collected
from the gambler ? .
Kvsn with $1.100 collected during the last
cloven months , that la ICES than half of what
the amount would be If all of the gambling
resorts and poker rooms , Including the policy
shop , were made to pay for the privilege of
running. So far the proprietor of the policy
shop has never paid a cent of money Into
the city treasury.
Arc Hflil for Illpnmy.
Edward Hubble and the woman he re
cently married In Iowa were tried before
Judge Ghrlstmann yesterday afternoon on the
charge of bigamy and both were held to the
district court In the PUIH of $ GOO ball. The
pair could not furnish the bonds required
and were sent to the county Jail for eafe
keeping. Mrs. Hubble No. 1 produced the
records for her marrlarjo with Hubble , the
record of his second marriage being already
In the hands of the court.
Hubble at first denied that the woman he
Introduced to his wife ns hla aunt was the
ono he was married to at Tama City , la. , but
ho was unable to hold to this story on crom-
cxamlnatlon. It appears that Hubble has
beca living with tills Iowa woman for eome
time , but managed to keep the fact a secret
from his first wlfo until ho was foolish
enough to take her to his home hero and In
troduce her as his aunt.

the taking down of the worthless piers.
Whllo the work Is going on the viaduct will

SOME PERPLEXING PROBLEMS

WASHINGTON , March B. Probably never
before In American history has an ad
ministration been obliged to face at the very
beginning of Its assumption to power so
many and Important questions affecting the
foreign relations ot the United States as
confront President McKinley and his
premier. All of these are Important , and ,
while some of them may bo for a time kept
In the background , others and those of the
utmost gravity are likely to force themselves
upon the a'tcntlon of the now administra
tion In mich a persistent manner that they
must be met promptly. In the list of open
diplomatic Issues arc some old veterans ,
questions that were running along In diplo
matic , time-killing fashion when President
Harrison turned over the helm of the ship
of state to President Cleveland , but the
latter. In his time , and with the best of
Intentions and In splto of the most heroic
efforts , was obliged to admit to the list and
n ake new Issues of his own that ho was
unable to bring to a conclusion , when he
In turn gave way to President McKinley.
Foremost and of the greatest Interest to
the people ot the United States because of
the strife that Is being waged under their
very eyes Is the subject of war In Cuba.
For nearly two years the struggle on that
fateful Isle has gene on , and from the
confusion of reports that reach the Depart
ment of State It Is not possible to accurately
and surely ascertain the exact conditions of
this struggle , which aspect Cleveland has
stated In his message to congress has In
volved Interests of enormous value to
citizens of the United States.
NO HASTY ACTION.
It Is understood to be the policy of the
new administration to deal with this matter
deliberately , and not to undertake to depart
from the policy with which It has BO far
been treated , until our more Important
Internal financial affairs are adjusted. But
the subject Is of an explosive nature , and It
Is not safe to predict that through eomo
overt and outrageous act ot a subordinate
among either the Spanish forces or In the
Insurgent lines ( something like the Vlrglnlus
affair , for Instance ) the administration will
not bo forced to depart from Its plans and
direct attention at short notice to this
dangerous subject.
Ono of the Issues that was carried over
from the Harrison administration , but which
now stands In very different shape from that
which It held then , Is the subject of
Hawaiian annexation. The citizens of the
little Island republic have como to look
upon the republicans ns their friends and
were making ready In advarce for the
Inauguration of President McKinley. They
have begun a carefully prepared agitation to
further their ends In Washington. They
will seek , with the aid of powerful friends
In and out of congress , to Induce the United
States to negotiate a new annexation treaty
at the earliest possible moment , and , while
the desired annexation may be attained In
short order , If the president so arranges the
details of the transaction as to avoid raising
unpleasant Issues with Ore it Britain and
Japan and losing all reputation for con
sistency , It will require the exhibition of
diplomacy of a high order.
OPEN QUESTIONS WITH ENGLAND.
With the mother country , England , our
relations arc so founded on reasonable and
mutual consideration that there Is no ground
for apprehension that the subjects pressing
for consideration of the diplomatic agencies
will not yield In the end to the usual methods
of treatment. This Is fortunate for the
welfare of both countries , aa some of these
questions are ot the greatest Im
portance and are easily capable , If
treated In a harsh and uncompromising
spirit , of becoming the source of open
rupture. Of such Is the Alaskan
boundary question and the proposed
means for protection of seals In
Boring sea , In the former of
which a treaty has been negotiated for the
location of the 141st meridian , but leaving
the most difficult phase , drawing of the
boundary line In the southeast , still a sub
ject of negotiation , on which some progress
has been made. Concerning the protection of
seal life In Bering sea there are signs of
unrest that Indicate a necessity of early
and decided action on the part of the State
department. Backed by the highest kind of
expert authority , Secretary Olney said at the
close of his administration of the State de
partment : "Tho fur seal herd Is threat
ened with utter ruin unless some changes
are speedily made In the regulations. " Yet
ho was unable to Induce the British govern-
nieno to make these , Influenced as It was by
a fear of the adverse effect upon the politi
cal status of British Columbia , the homo of
the seal pirates.
As a senator , Mr. Sherman has clearly In
dicated his wish for the ratification of the
Bone.-al arbitration treaty , and President Mc-
Klnlcy's Inaugural address leaves no room
for doubt of the administration's policy.
Mr. Sherman's senate record leaves no
room to doubt that ho will bo found resisting
sturdily all efforts to surrender our charge
of Samoa under the tripartite alilanco , which
It Is certainly the wish of the Germans , but
not of Great Britain , to terminate.
TARIFF MAY MAKE TROUBLE.
Theflnal enactment of the new tariff bill
may put a severe strain upon our relations
with tome of the great European powers ,
and first of all with Germany. It Is under
stood to In- the Intention of congress to pro
vide for active retaliation upon the nations
that have so unjustly barred American pork
and cattle , and among thcso Germany Is the
chief offender. Complaints of the unwhole-
souienes'3 ' of our meats have been replied to
by the United States by the establishment
of the most rigid Inspection system , and our
challenges to produce evidence of the charges
have resulted In miserable failure on the
part of the tradueers to make their charges
good. A long series of consular reports
make clear the fact that thcso charges are
but subterfuges and that the real purpose Is
not only to exclude American meats , but
any and all American products that threaten
to compete with German and French , Belgian
and Dutch agricultural or Industrial orod-
ucls.
ucls.Wero
Were this sought to bo accomplished only
by a high tariff to exclude the products , the
United States could not complain , for It
might respond In kind , but as now applied
the prohibitive rules are clearly unjust and
discriminating.
Secretary Olncy also left to his successor
as an unpleasant legacy the negotiations
looking to an abatement of the restrictive
regulations which have choked the life out
of the American Insurance companies seeking
to continue the profitable business they had
built up. What Secretary Sherman will do
In this matter cannot bo told.
With the French the administration starts
unencumbered by diplomatic Ituues of moment
excepting so far as It may be involved with
Germany In the settlement of the nuat
exclusion question. If. however , the general
arbitration treaty with Great Britain should
bo concluded , it is confidently expected that
Francs will EOOII after seek to enter Into a
similar arrangement with the United States ,
which can bo consummated only with great
dlfllculty , owing to the radical differences
between the judicial systems ot the two
countries.
The conditions in Turkey are euch aa to
require the greatest vigilance and circum
spection. Heretofore our efforts have been
confined strictly to guarding the Interests of
American citizens In that country , and It IB
safe to predict that this policy will be
continued , so that there is little prospect
of a serious disagreement unless resistance
la met to demands for reasonable Indemnity
for the pecuniary , losses suffered by Amer
icans during the Armenian uprising ,

exquisitely adonu-d with roses , palma and

As soon BB Mrs. Cleveland hod greeted her

One of the saddest deatijp.'reported In the
newspapers last week was.thaiof ; , ilrvln W.-
Adams , a young manof Providence , who
has been employed.by J 'B.iBarnaby & Co. ,
of that city. When the coroner's Inquest
was held it was found that1 almost every pre
caution had been used to prevent recognition ,
even a flro having been built where his
papers were destroyed.
Upon the body of Mr. Adams was found
a Ducber-Hampden watch. On the mornIng -
Ing of January 25 , the Hampden Watch Co. ,
of Canton , O. , received a telegram from the
coroner of Alton , III. , stating , in substance ,
that a body had been found there with a
Hampden watch upon same , giving the
number of the movement , and asking for
identification , If possible.
The Hampden Co. , through the complete
system of records kept by them of all
watches sold , was able to glvo the name of
the Jobber to whom they sold the watch
who was J. C. Sawyer , wholesale dealer In
watches , 60 Summer street , Boston , Mass.
Also , through the Hampden Co.'s rebate
voucher system , which voucher contains the
name of the retail watch dealer and the
name of the party 'buying tha watch , In all
Instances and which Is now so popular with
all retail watch dealers It was ascertained
that tha watch In question was sold by Mr.

CAUSON , Ncv. , March 5. Mrs. Corbelt re
turned to San Francisco last night , and Jim
put In all sorts of hard work during the
morning and afternoon. In the morning
ho decided to make a call at Empire ,
ten miles away , where his namesake , "Young
Corbett , " and Dal Hawkins are In training.
He and Al Hampton drove. , over to Empire
In ft buggy and after a short visit they
started on the return trip , Hawkins taking
the road with the buggy , Corbett giving him
Instructions to make good time. Then Jim
started across the country on foot , with the
determination to beat Hawkins Into Shaw's
Springs. Corbctt's route was shorter than
the road by possibly one and a half miles ,
but this was moro than equalized by thoroughness
roughness of the road which ho traveled.
The race ended In a tie , the two meeting
Just a short distance out from the training
quarters. After a short rest and a rub down ,
Corbott ate his dinner and loafed until about
3 o'clock , when ho started upon the work of
the day. He began by using the wrist ma
chine , which ho twisted back and forth for
fully ten minutes.
Ho then went at the punching bag for an
oven twenty mlnutea by the watch , the work
being fust and furious , without the slighted
Intermission.
As he finished the bag Charlie White throw
a bath robe over Corbott's shoulders anil
with a hop and skip Corbett left the shed
for the handball court. Hero he went six
teen thrcc-mlnuto rounds , four of them
with each ono of four men , vithout any rest
of any kind. He began by boxing a round
with Jeffries , then took on Edgrcn for an
other fast round and then'came McVey , with
whom ho wrestled and tugged back and
forth across the court. McVcy put forth
all his strength , but Corbott slammed him
up against the wall again and again , and
thcro was no mistake about the slamming ,
cither. U was good hard work , and McVcy's
head hit the wall with resounding thumps
whenever Jim rushed him. After McVcy ,
panting and perspiring , had retired to the
dressing room , Ullly Woods , looking like an
Esquimau ! ! In his pneumatic attire , pranced
out for his turn. Corbott went at him hard
and about all the wind thcro was about

FITZ WRESTLES A HOG.
Bob Fitzslramons this morning secured an
addition to his force of trainers. Ho came
upon the now article while on the way to
town from his 'training quarters. Dan Hlckoy
and Fltz made the start from the house
about D o'clock , Hlckoy In a buggy and Fltz
on foot , the latter acting as pacemaker.
After going about one mlle Fltz
overtook a largo colored man leadIng -
Ing a large hog of about the same ebony
hue ns himself. Hlckey came up while Fitz
was exchanging remarks with the colored
man , and the horse took a violent dislike
to the hog. Ho began to dance all over the
road and 'tho ' hog , being moro than will
ing to give Hlckoy and his crazy horse the
right of way. gave a frantic squeal and
bolted away In the sago brush. The negro
and Fltz went after him In hot pursuit. The
former gave up the race early , but Fltz and
the hog kept at It. For about two miles
back iind forth through the brush , the hog
sprinted as fast as a hog ever does sprint ,
with Fltz close at Tils heels. Finally Fltz
worked up to within a foot of the hog and
thoaght the time had come for a touchdown.
Ho made a spring , landing fair and square
on hoggy's back and bore him to the ground.
Then came the real tussel , the hog mak
ing frantic efforts to eocapo , while Fitz
as frantically tried to keep him pinned down.
The two rolled over and over , the hog giv
ing vent to all the variety of squeals he
had over known , and Fltz pouring out a
succession of remarks In disparagement of
the Intellgenco of hogs in general.
The hog finally became exhausted
In all things save his squealing
apparatus and gave up the flght , whllo Fitz ,
with a triumphant grin and his breath com
ing short and quick , held him fast. In a few
minutes the owner of the hos came wheezing
up and accused Fitz of trying to steal the
animal. It took fully ten minutes of earnest
conversation on the part of Fltz to con
vince him that ho was rolling hogs in the
sago brush just for the fun of the thing ,
and that thcro was nothing In It for him
eave exorcise. As an evidence of good faith ,
ho restored the hog and continued on his
way to town.
