-1 and 22, Hcvcral change Iq rates are an-
noumeij to become cfle-tlve on certal-i dates
In March. The few shlpj,cr who hatfe re
ceived advance Information have been pleas
antly surprised to learn that certain reduc
tions and concessions have been agreed upon.
Theso reductions come unexpectedly owing
to tho genera! tendency that has bcon man
ifested towurd advancing tariffs.
One. of the principal reductions applies to
shipments of alcoholic wine, liquors and
whiskies betneen Ovnalia, South Omaha,
Council Muff, and St. l'.uil. Minneapolis,
Duluth ami Superior. The new rate cstab- i
llshed. ami which will hecomo effective next!
month li 3'.i rents per 100 pounds. It is In
the nature of a compromise, but Is, neverthe
Uns. a reduction, tho present rate being 45
i-enta Prior to February 12 tho rate was
36 cents per 100 pounds.
Kffectun March 8, lumber rates will bo
applied to shipments of undnlshcJ vehicle
and agricultural Implement wood, and on
wood of this nature dressed In the white
tind partially Ilnlshed a rate 3 centa
higher than the lumber rale will bo made
effective In both Instant en the new rntes
will be reductions.
The rate-makers did not Intend that all
their hange Hhould bo In the nature of re
duction, and to avoid such an outcome de
nied to apply a proportional rate of 10
ii'iitH per 100 poundH on all carload lots of
lumber from Mississippi river points. Kast
St IxMils to I'ast Mubunue Inclusive, to
Omaha. South Omaha and Council HlufTs on
shipments originating oast of the Indiana
Illinois state line. This new proportlonnl
rate, becomes effective March 20. Some of
the railroads have had In operation a lower
proportional rale than 10 cents, and Its
adoption will result In an additional expense
to tho lumber dealers In tho transportation
of their lumber.
Among other changes decided upon, most
of whl-h Interested commercial men will
reeognl.e, as reductions, are us follows:
Kffertlvo March 8. wheat Hour rates will be

by tho gcnernl passenger agents nail city
ticket agents In Omnha. Letters have lieon
received by all tho city passenger agints In

The heat of a city campaign bad n blight
ing effect on legislation In the council
chambor Tuesday night nnd only a few mat-
tors came up for consideration. City Phys
ician Spalding made a report on a claim for
rent alleged to he due George Magney bo
causo tf tho enforced vacancy of his house
at 2fi04 Decatur street during a smallpox,
quarantine. The patient was Alfred Illalns,
occupying apartments upstairs, the tenant
on tho lower lloor being William Feller, who
moved out In haste as soon as he was In
formed of tho character of tho disease. Mag
uey wished tho city to reimburse him In
the amount cf $90. Dr. Spalding said that,
according to his Information, Keller had
removed before the enso developed and that
tho city therefore had no liability. Tho
claim was referred to the city attorney.
Tho health commissioner was also con
cerned In the cast' of A. U. Shaefcr, engi
neer of the city hall, who had suffered the
low! of three fingers while repairing tho
elevator. The mangled members wure ampu
tated by Dr. Spalding, who subsequently
sent Shaefcr a bill for 10 for surgical at
tendance and 00 cents for chloroform con
sumed. Shaefcr took the view that as ho
was In the employ of the city and ns the
accident occurred In the city building tho
surgeon should ask no recompense. The
contention was referred to the committee
on finance nnd claims.
The mayor returned without his approval
a resolution allowing Ooorge Munro to erect
a frame shed lflxlltl feet In extent. In the
rear of 809 North Sixteenth street. The ex
ecutive considered that such a structure
within the Are limits would bo a menace to
larger buildings In Its proximity. The veto
was sustained and a resolution passud pro
viding that the material should be sheet-
iron.
The contract and bond of Hamel & Co.
for grading tho alley In the rear of the Pa
cific school was approved nnd tho work
will begin ns soon as tho frost leaves the
ground.
An ordinance was read for the third time
and passed fixing a special tax on property-
owners adjacent to Klvervlow pnrk to cover
cost of an extension of that reserve. Ordi
nances were read for the first and second
times relative to the grading of California
street from Thirtieth 260 feet west and
for the opening of Thirty-third stroct from
Hurt to California.
Rev. Herring and others were present to
enter protest in case Michael Mullen ap
plied for an extended lease of life on hip
concert hall nt Sixteenth nnd Davenport
streets. Letters had been sent to citizen.)
by the opposition Inviting their presence.
No effort was mado by Mullen, howover,
to secure further favors from the council.
Tho council adjourned until tomorrow
morning, when the salary ordinance will bo
passed and various vacancies filled among
tho registrars of election.
WHY THE FLAG IS TO STAY
Deiieiv'a Fine ArKiiiiient In the Sen
ate (or Hetelitlon of the
Philippine.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Depew of New
York addressed tho senate today on the
Philippine question. Ills oration was beau
tiful In thought and diction. He strongly
upheld tho policy of the administration and
In conclusion pictured ho brilliantly com
rncrco and civilization moving hand in baud
for tho happiness nnd uplifting of the peo
pie of tho Philippines, as well as those of
this country that tho galleries were swept
by a storm of applause.
After Turley had concluded his speech on
tho Quay case tho Hawaiian government bill
was again taken up, but little progress wjb
made. An agreement was reached that a
final vote should be taken on tho measuro
tomorrow.
In tho course of his speech Depew said:
"Most of these questions are purely nca
dcmlc. There aro well-meaning and honest
pcoplo who gather every year In Ixmdon
and did last year In Boston, to protest
against the beheading of Charles I. But
Charles I was beheaded 250 years ago. By
his death tho chains which bound a free peo
ple wero broken. Cromwell, with all his
mistakes, all his errors, nnd nil tho injus
tice which enn be charged against him. cre
ated that reign of individual Judgmont and
conscience which hns evoluted Into civil and
religious liberty, which has created tho
commercial spirit of tho Kngllsh-spcaklng
peoples, which has mado them explorers,
travelers, masters upon tho sea and land,
as snttlers nnd colonizers, nnd has carried,
wltir their Influence, self-government nnd
representative Institutions all over tho world.
It Is still an academic discussion whether
President Lincoln had the right to coerco a
sovereign state, but tho exercise of that
right saved and re-created this republic and
has mado It tho foremost power of tho
world. Thero are constitutional lawyers and
writers upon public questions who still dis
cuss tho power of Abraham Lincoln to Issue
the emancipation proclamation, but ho did
Ifsuo It, slavery was nboltshed and tho blem
lngs of tho act aro enjoyed by owner and
bondman equally, by the free states, and by
thoso that wero once known ns tho slave
state.
"Wo are In tho Philippines: wo nro there
to stay by conquest nnd by treaty rights. All
whlih precedes the ratification of tho treaty
by tho senate of tho United States Is nn aca
demic question. Still tho presentation of this
ancient history, for tho rapid progress of
events makes history speedily ancient, has
occupied so much of tho tlmo of tho senato
that it Is well briefly to review the situa
tion. "Tho alleged government, called here the
de facto government of Agulnaldo, rests
upon an equally flimsy basis. Spain had held
thrso Islands, with & slight Interruption,
when seized by Orent Britain, for ."00 years.
Her sovereignty over thorn had been recog
nized by all the powers of IJurope. Her bad
government produced frequent Insurrections,
which were always suppreiiBcd and always
local to ono Island or to a part of an Island.
"Agulnaldo headed ono of these Insurrec
tions and formed a revolutionary govern
ment, which, however, existed only on
paper and governed nothing but tho camp
which he bad In the mountains at Blno Na
Bato. After continuing a desultory and
mainly guerrilla warfaro for months, he
finally opened negotiations with tho Spanish
authorities and sold his government to
Spain for $800,000. of which 1400.000 was paid
down. So that at the time that Spain ceded
tho Phlllpplno Islands to the United States
by treaty sho had as her title the sovereignty
of 300 years and had removed tho cloud
upon her tltlu by buying the claims of Agul
naldo's government. Tho transaction stands
unique In tho history of governments. If
Agulnaldo' authority constituted a govern
ment. It is tho first tlmo. In ancient or mod
ern days whf n a power claiming sovereignty,
asking for recognition from foreign states,
for a valuablo condderatlon. which was
agreed to. gave n quitclaim of all Its rights,
Its properties and Its powers.
"But for our demonstrated power appeal
ing so dramatically to the eastern Imagina
tion, Agulnaldo would have remained rev-
j cling In Hong Kong and his followers humbly
subservlcnt to the rule of Spa.n- The sign
ing of the terms of peate and the surrender
of Manila to our naval and land forces oc
curred at tho same moment of tlrao. Dewey
and Merrltt refused to permit the troops of
Agutnaldo to enter nnd loot tho city and
forced them to withdraw to a safe distance.
Tho peace treaty, guaranteeing the rights of
property In the Island by the United States,
dissipated tho hopes- nnd dreams of the Fil
ipino leaders of division and enjoyment of
tho confiscated property of the religious so
cieties, the wealth of tho church and tho
riches of tho Spanish residents.
"Then, and not until then, did Agulnaldo
nnd his party become Insurrectionists against
tho authority of the United States; then, In
flaming an Ignorant population with lies
about tho government and purposes of this
country, he received the support which has
required a largo army to suppress. This
pccplo had been cheated and robbed of their
rights for centuries. They nad never known
tho bltsslngs of liberty nnd law, nor what
they mean. It was easy for the rebel chiefs
to mako them believe that we came to
plunder nnd oppress. Wo now understand
why they said, ' Hotter the Spaniard than
tho American.' It Is only when poaco and
order nrei established In the Islands that wo
will gain both their confidence and their
gratitude by a government which will guar
antco law 'and liberty, civil nnd religious,
nnd promote their progress and prosperity.
"Electricity and steam have annihilate 1
tlmo and distance. Tho Philippines nre nearer
Washington by months than New Orlears
was In Jefferson's administration. The Hag
carries with it everywhero the genius nnd
spirit of American liberty nnd law. No
American governor, council and Judiciary
would bo tyrants If they could, and could
not bo If they would. An Insult or a blow
at civil or religious liberty by an American
administration lu far-off Luzon would be
Hashed under the ocean nnd across the land.
The pcoplo would rise In hot indignation.
demanding Justice and punishment, which
tho president and congress would be swift
to grant and Inflict.
"The kindergarten of liberty, under com
petent Instructors, rapidly develops Its pu
pils for larger responsibilities for citizenship,
respect for law, for Judicial duties and for
a constantly Increasing share in their local
:id general assemblies. One year of rule
by tho United States In Cuba Is a convinc
ing object lesson. Drlgands have hocomo
farmers nnd revolutionists conservative cit
izens. Order has taken the place of an
archy and law of license. The Cubans am
developing their Industries and rapidly ac
quiring habits of self-government. So the
uplifting of tho people of the Philippine
to tho comprehension nnd practice of orderly
Industries, respect for Individual rights, con
fidence nnd then participation In government
will add enormously to their happiness nnd
reciprocally to tho strength, prosperity and
power of our country."

Mr. II. N. Warner, of Kcaxucy,
Neb., says:
"In 1S94I was attacked with
paralysis in my left side. You
might stick a pin to the head
into my left hip and I would not
feel it. I was unable to do any
kind of work, and had to be turned
in bed. I fully made up my mind
that I could not be cured, as I had
tiscd nil kinds of medicine and had
tried many doctors. At last I
was advised to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, and I
very reluctantly commenced their
use last September. Before I had
finished my first box I began to
feel much better, and by the time
I had ttsed six boxes the paralysis
disappeared; nnd although two
months have passed since I finished
my last box, there has been no re
currence of the disease."
