Nebraska from being turned out of their

tho hard times and grasshopper years havo
neon common whllo tho bill was under dis
cussion. They found they wero not strong
enough to defeat tho bill In a straight voto
and for this rrason tho efforts of tho op
ponents havo been in tho direction ot
offering amendments aud "talklngHho bill
to death.
Tho supporters ot the bill havo presented
equally ns strong arguments In behalf of
tho measure. They assert that It would
work no hardship on harvest debtors nnd
advanced tho argument that tho honor and
development of tho state demanded n law
of this kind. It would protect tho money
icuuor, out, it. wouiu not glvo him nny ad
vantage over the borrower. It would, they
claimed, mako Interest cheaper and would
bo a benefit to tho honest borrower.
Senator Miller's amendment, which lf
adopted would have, practically Invalidated
the law, was the Isbuo for discussion on
thrco different days, and the vote upon Its
adoption today was a tlo, the chair voting

bleuuo Lnimilry VIcIIihh.
CHICAGO, Mnrch J The Inquest over
tho victims of tho Dorcmus laundry boiler
explosion Mnrch 11 was begun by Coroner
Trnger today
Considerable testimony was given tending
to show that the boiler was known to be In
nn unsafe cqndltlon nnd had been so re
ported to tho proprietor of the laundry.
Mrs. Oeorge I'lhl, widow of lOnglnccr l'lhl,
who was killed in the explosion, testified
that her husband had, frequently told her
tho boiler wns Icnky and unsafe, nnd that
ho had notified Proprietor Doremus of Its
rondttion, Her husband had not, she snld,
reported the condltltou -of the holler to tho
city boiler lnspector.N
Gustavo Pollock controverted Proprietor
A. V. Dorcmus' contention that tho holler
wns Inspected n ycor ago and that a certifi
cate of Inspection had hung In tho engine
room since that time, Pollack wns a fire
man nn engineer's helper nt the Dorcmus
laundry for six months prior to December
15, when he wns discharged, ho said, as n
matter of economy on Dorcmus' part.
Pollack in testifying said:
I'rrlliiu of Interest.,
"Thq steam gauge of tho holler was S2t
to blow off at ninety pounds pressure, r.nd
as we constantly carried bctweon ninety
nnd 100 pounds it was n common occurrence
to havo the boiler blow off. Whenever this
occurred the employes would rush out of
tho rooms nearest the cnglno room. There
was n feeling of insecurity in regard to the
safety of tho boiler,
"At one time tho boiler sprung a lenk
nenrly two Inches long In tho lire plnt.
and when It was repaired Engineer Plhl told
me thut It had leaked ln tho same plac
before, nnd after that It lpaked several
times. It was the practlco of Plhl to use
caustic soda In the boiler, to clean the Hues
and he often told mo that It was eating
away tho Hues,"

on .1. I.
PHILADELPHIA, March 19. The Hccord
tomorrow will soy:
'It Is no longer n secret thai n strike of
tho anthracite coal tnlticra on April 1, ns
threatened by President Mitchell of tho
United Mine Workors, unless tho operators
consent to n conference with tho miners,
would not bo looked upon ns a calamity
by certain operators. If tho views nnd de
sires of these officials lire respected the
question of a fight to a finish Is up lo
President Mitchell.
"Thero arc but few operators who do not
condemn tho step taken at J. P. Morgan's
dictation In conceding to the miners tho ad
vniieo ln wages last fall, when, as they con
tend, tho'strlko If continued several weeks
longer would havo resulted ln tho miners'
defeat. Thcso same operators admit that
Mr. Morgan still dominates tho .anthracite
situation nnd Hint whatever course tho
Heading ft Lehigh Vitllcy purines tho rest
must follow. Some do not hcsltnto to ex
press their fears that at the last moment
Mr. Morgan will weaken aud grant the
concessions naked for now.
Mr. Morgan, besides trying to float the
1,000,000,000 steel trust, has to sell 32,
000,000 worth of Krle ralroad I per cent
bonds Issued for the purchase of the Penn
sylvania Coal company. There Is llkewlso
$23,000,000 worth of Heading-Jersey Central
collateral trust 4 per cent bonds to put on
tho market. Tho coal securities, they
argue, would naturally bo depressed In tho
ovent of a strike.

Nos. 1, 7 nnd 9. No attempt will bo mndo

FEAR INDEMNITY MAY FAIL
Government Atrnhl 'I'll nt (ireed of In
dlvliliinl .NiitloiiN Miiy Annul
UhlueMc .VeKotJnt Ions,
WASHINGTON, March 19. It Is feared
hero that tho negotiations at Pekln respect
ing Indemnities may fall owing to tho greed
ot Individual nations. Mr. Rockhlll, our
special commissioner, who has been In close
communication by cablo with tho Stato de
partment, lias nothing but discouraging ro
ports to mako of this Important branch
of tho negotiations. It appears that tho
ministers cannot agroo upon any uniform
basis of Indemnity, somo of tho powers de
manding enormous sums.
In most cases tho powers contend for tho
right of fixing' their own indemnity. Tho
result Is that each power, lu order not to
be outdone, fixes tho total of Its claims nt
nn enormous figure, far beyond anything
known In tho history of Indemnity collec
tions. When the point Is made that the
sum total of these 'national' claims Is far
beyond tho nblllty of China o pay, some of
tho nations reply by professing a willing
ness to scalo down their claims ns soon ns
the fact ot China's Inability is manifested.
Howover, ns another precaution, tho samo
nations promptly adjust their claims so that
tho scaling down process, If npplied, would
stilt leave them with n total Indemnity claim
at least equal to that ot any ot the other
nations,
The difficulties encountered In passing this
point In tho negotiations is attracting moro
of the attention ot tbo officials hero than the
threatened collision between tho allies at
Tlon Tsln, which, by tho way, thus far has
not been the. subject of' a report to tho
Stato department from Mr. Rockhlll, al
though thero Is reason to believe that somo
of tbo ambassadors hero havo mndo it the
basis qf unofficial conferences with the sec
retary of state.
