He announced that he was willing to vote to overrule the cbslr In order to support gin amendment to take the differential off Feflned augar. Mr. Morris of Minnesota, another re publican, who made a strong speech against the bill also, made a similar announce ment. The other speakers today were Mr. Ball (dem.) of Texaa and Messrs. Park man (dem.) of Louisiana, both of whom op posed the bill, and Mr. Mondell of Wyom ing, who advocated its passage. Trylna; to Get Tog-ether. The democratic and republican oppo nents of the measure are trying to get to gether on the proposition to take the dif ferential oft refined augar. The Indica tions are that the debate will be protracted. The demand tor time to speak la great and there Is now no expectation that general debate will be completed until next week. Before the debate on the Cuban reci procity bill was resumed In the house to day some routine business was transacted. Mr. Olmatead of Pennsylvania presented the report on the conteated election case of Fowler against Thomaa from the Third JSorth Carolina district. Mr. Henry of Connecticut aaked unani mous consent to disagree to the aenate amendments to the oleomargarine bill, but Mr. Richardson of Tennessee objected and the bill went to the committee on agri culture. The house then went Into com mittee of, the whole and the Cuban reci procity bill was taken up. niiuam Aiaen noma oi micnigan waa the first speaker. He apoke agalnat the bill. He presented the question from the viewpoint of the republicans who have op posed Cuban reciprocity on account ot the beet sugar Interests and said la part: Sot Infrlendly to Caba. I would not for anything have you be lieve that we who for two montha have been battling for what we believe to be right were animated by any hostility or un friendliness toward the Island of Cuba. Such Is far from the truth. We have al ways aided and austalned It In Us struggle. We glory In Its approaching sovereignty. Unt we must not forget that, while we may sympathise with Cuba, our first daty is toward our own people, and everything that tends to atrengthen and develop our multi plied resources at home and add to the measure of our national strength and Inde pendence should be the object of our pro Xoundest solicitude. I am opposed to this measure because I believe It is calculated to breed strife and dissatisfaction with the other sugar coun tries of the world, which are thus dis criminated against. I believe It will have a tendency to provoke commercial hostility among the other West India islands and our neighbors In 8oulh America. I am opposed to the measure because In order to give It effect It become necessary to violate a solemn promise of the repub lican party deliberately made In solemn convention to the American people; be rause I believe It will he harmful to the agricultural and Industrial classes of the United States whose great Interests have been confided to our care; because I be- Island of Olhe- htniiu 1 hehovo that tho nrlnclnal beneficiary will ba the American Sugar Refining company, which doe not reed our sympathy: because I believe that the Dannie of the (aland of Cuba, will r.. celve no benefit therefrom. Mr. Smith than entered upon a discussion of the policy of protection whtob had re sulted In the upbuilding of American In dustrie with reference to the establish ment of the beet sugar Industry as a rival of the augar trust, which, be said, refined and controlled 91 per cent of the can sugar. He predicted that the struggl for supremacy will be long and relentless and costly. Would Kill Beet laur ladaatry.

MELBOURNE. Victoria, April 9. The Pa clflc cable haa reached the Fiji Islands. The laying of the Pacific cable referred to In tho dispatch from Melbourne was decided on at the Colonial congress held in London In 1887, but the survty was not completed until 1490. After the report was published in 1899 an agreement was en tered into by the Imperial government wtth Canada and the Australasian colonies for the construction, laying and maintenance of an all-British Pacific cable. It was agreed that the cable should be vested In a board of commissioners, to be appointed under the authority of the Imperial Par liament, and that the governments con cerned should appoint administrators in proportion to their shares in the undertak lng, the Imperial government and Canada each taking five-eighteenths and New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and New Zealand one-ninth each. The board. It was arranged, should Issue debentures for the payment of capital and Interest, which would become a first mort gage on the cable property and its earn ings. The highest estimate of the cost $10,000,000, and It Is thought that the In terest on this sum at 2H per cent (that Is 1250,000 a year), with the cost of repairs and the charge for a sinking fund for the replacement of the cable might easily be covered by the probable earnings, even at a very law tariff as compared with the existing one. A landing site for the cable was pur chased at Kelp bay, Barclay sound, Van couver Island. CHARGES ARE RIDICULED Alleged Owelty of tho British Troops Finds Very Few support ers la London. LONDON, April 9. The charges made agalnat the conduct of British troops In South Africa, attributed to General Ds- larey, have not been brought to the notice of the War office and will be Ignored unless a question on ths subject Is asked In the House of Commons. Even In this event It la not probable that any action will be taken unless a responsible authority formu lates charges In a more definite and direct form.

The regents of the University of Nebraska at the meeting held yesterday formally adopted the working arrangement with the Omaha Medical college, which has already been adopted by the trustees of the last r.amed Institution, and which, with the formal signing of the articles of agreement, makes the one Institution the complement of the other with respect to the complete medical course of study. The first two years of the court e will be at the University of Nebraska and the concluding two years t the Omsha Medical college. Upon the completion of the course of four years di plomas will be Issued by the University of Nebraska. This union, or working arrange ment, has been under discussion for several years, but only during the last year have definite steps been taken to secure formal action on the part of both Institutions. Edson Rich, recent of the University of Nebraska, in outlining the terms of the agreement, said: "There Is no medical de partment In the university, and even If one were established the hospitals In Lin coln are not large enough to afford proper material for clinical work for the last two years of the medical course. We have recognized that the Omaha Medical college I on a good foundation with respect to the studies in the last two years, while not so well equipped as the University of Nebraska as to the first two years of the medical course. Will Reach Highest Standard. "Both the trustees and the regents have agreed that by a combination both Instltu tions contributing, a medical course of tho highest standard will be established. We wil create In the university at Lincoln department called the "School of Medicine of the University of Nebraska.' The tuition for the first two of the four years course of study will be paid to the university, and the first two years' work will all be done at Lincoln. But the university will aot be put to any expense on account of lectures. The trustees of the medical college agree that the university Is better equipped with respect to the study of chemistry, biology and kindred studies, while on the other hand the medical college has superior facil ities for the last two years of the course, After the student completes two years' tudy at the university he will go to the Omaha Medical college, and upon a proper record as to examinations the university 111 Issue a diploma covering the four years' course. The university will bear o part of the cost of the last two years ork and Is In no way responsible for any thing done In the Omaha Medical college, except that upon a proper showing the nnl- ersity will assume the responsibility of Issuing a diploma. The plan Is almost If not exactly slm liar to that adopted by Cornell university." continued Mr. Rich, "the last two years of the medical course In that institution being carried out In New York City. The plan does not contemplate or Include purchase by the university of any property of any kind used by the Omsha Medical college, nor of furnishing anything neces sary for the two years' work in that lnstl tutlon. The -whole work of co-operation Is secured by bonds executed on the part of the medical college. This Is a general outline ot the whole matter as discussed at various meetings attended by representa tives of both Institutions and which came before the regents yesterday for final action. In addition to establishing perma nently a course of medical study of the highest character, we hope to create in Omaha a lively Interest In the State uni versity. Omaha never has had in the uni versity Its proper quota of students, con- iderlng population. Unquestionably this union of work on the part of Institutions bat have In their respective spheres earned the highest regard Is a step that will com mand attention on the part of every person Interested in the cause of advanced educa tion." Dr. Mllroy'a Statemeat. Dr. W. F. Milroy of th Omaha Medical college, regarding the plan of co-operative work, said: "The plan was unanimously adopted by the regent of th university. It bad already been approved by th trus tee of the Omaha Medical college. The plan ha been under discussion for sev eral years, but has been given special and definite attention during the last year. Tentative arrangement were proposed to Chancellor Andrews laat summer. Dr. Ward, head of the biological department In the medical college, hag been especially active In bringing the matter to a conclu sion. Finally a formal draft of the arrange ment waa prepared by Judge Pound of Lin cola and submitted to the trustees of the medical college for approval. This wss given and the regents yesterday com pleted the work except as to the formal signing of the papers. 'Th plan la in Una of greater stability and tends to th advancement of medical education in the west. Chancellor An drews ay we will have the greatest med ical school between Chicago and th Pa cific coast. We undergo soma financial sacrifice by adopting the arrangement, but we have waived that consideration In the interest of higher education. We wltl have the tuition of two years Instead of the four years in the course. All liter' tare, catalogues, circulars, etc., will be in the nam of the regents of the univer sity and at their expense. Preliminary Retialrement Hlaher, "The requirements ot the preliminary course," continued Dr. Milroy, "will be higher as a result of the arrangement. W bav heretofore always maintained tb requirement of what la known aa th Association of American College that is, th equivalent of a twenty-four point high cbool record of study. It should be known that upon giving satisfactory evi dences of qualifications a student may ea ter tb medical college to take the last two years' course of study and a diploma will be Issued by the State university. We will continue for several years our pre liminary course a already established, but no new students will be taken for prelim inary tudla. We bav a contract with th dental college requiring us t con tinu our preliminary course until, so to speak, the field is cleared, when wa will eonfin our work to tb final two year ot the medical course.

American. WASHINGTON, April . Throughout to day's session of the senate the Chinese exclusion bill was under consideration. Mr. Galllngcr of New Hampshire and Mr. Dillingham of Vermont opposed the bill end Mr. Turner of Washington supported It. Mr. Galllngcr urged that the pending bill was unnecessary, unjust and un-American and was clearly In contravention ot our treaty obligations with China. In an extended address Mr. Turner ao- pealed to the senate to pars the proposed bill, not merely for the protection 'of the people of the Pacific coast states, but to prevent the entire body politic from being contaminated by the Chinese. Mr. Dillingham advocated the re-enact ment of the present Geary law. He de clared that representatives ot the Pacific states had expressed themselves as per fectly satisfied with the operation of tb existing law and that there was no proper reason for a change, particularly as tho change would involve great trouble and expense. Mr. Galllnger maintained that the pending subject was a matter for diplomatic nego tiation and not for congressional action. In this connection he read Minister Wu'a recent letter to Secretary of tate Hay. in which be protested against the passage of the bill, declaring It would disturb the friendly relations between the United States and China. Mr. Turner, in reply to Mr. Galllnger. contended that the pending bill Is no more severe than former laws for the restriction of Chinese Immigration; Indeed, he asserted that the bill Is practically a re-enactment of existing law, except that It la more lib eral in the admission of Chinese mer chants. He defended the provision prohibiting the employment of Chinese crews on ves sels going to sea and said that criticism ot it is Inconsistent with the recent action of the senate In voting the ship subsidy bill for the purpose of enabling Amer ican ship owners to pay extra wages to Amerlcsn sailors. The aenate Insisted on its amendment! to the Indian appropriation bill and Messrs. Stewart, Piatt of Connecticut and Raw lins were named as the senate conferees. Mr. Dillingham of Vermont, resuming hi speech In opposition to the Chinese bill, said he was heartily In favor of a law which would exclude Chinese laborers in accordance with the treaty of i94. He would vote, he said, for a substitute tor the proposed bill which in effect would con tinue in force or re-enact the present Geary law. He believed that the real iiuea- tin". i resented to congress was bow best to protect American labor, American tit Izenship and American progress oud prcs perlty. All were anxious that such protec tion should be afforded. The daggers ot the admission of Chinese, he thaught had been exaggerated and waa not so serious a? had been pictured. After a brief executive session the sen ate at F:0S p. m. adjourned. REBELS ARE PUT TO FLIGHT Chinese RovnlntlonUt "fh W.vaaa;-8 Paraaed by Imperial Troop and Mlaaloaarlea Are Safe. WASHINGTON.

Boyd's theater was comfortably filled last night to greet William H. Redmond, the Irish representative, who came to lay the cause of his people before the people of the state of Nebraska. The audience was not entirely an Omaha gathering. Judge J. J. Sullivan and Edgar Howard headed a large delegation from Columbus, while many were present from Neill, Jackson, Norfolk. Greeley Center nd other towus where there are large Irish ttlements. It was 8:30 be-fore the cutrain rose and the Elka' quartet sang "Klllarney. In introducing Mr. Redmond, T. J. Ma- honey spoke of the educational work being eprformed by the Irish parliamentary party nd called attention to the fact that John Flnerty, president of the American branch of the league, was also present. He esn Introduced Mr. Redmond. The Irish parliamentarian showed the effect of his work, his voice being hoarse as be opened his remarks. It cleared as he continued nd before the end rang through the hall like a bell. Every reference to Charle Parnell was received with cheers. Mr. Redmond said in part: In coming to America as representative of the parliamentary party we believe that the Irish race In all lands is a unit and were we to receive no financial aid from America we feel that we should consult Ith the American branch of the race. While this is true, we claim that we In Ireland, and we In Ireland alone, are In a SSSZr sued, and wbll we are willing to receive nd desire your support we would willingly surrender that support if in consideration of it we must surrender the right to follow our own policies without regard to the opin ions of others. "I desire to emphasize the authority upon which I speak here tonight. I speak for no section or party of Irishmen in the old country, but by the command of the whole peopie ot ireiano ana eignty-mree memDers of the British Parliament at this time. No other representative of Ireland ever came witn tne same power. I am aware mat in certain quarter It has been stated that the majority of the Irish peopl are not atls- Bed with the demand of the Irish Parlla-I mentary party, but at th last election In ireiano tne people ireeiy elected tn pres- ent party la the House of Common by over whelming majorities in cases where any contest was made. Irish People Politically Inlted "The first thing thst I bav to tell you tonight Is that the Irish people are united politically. For the last ten years the Irish people bava been spilt up into factions. km not going into a discussion of those fac tions tonight, but I will say that Charles Stewart Parnell was a man who had done so much for the country that his retire ment from political life would bring con fusion, and I do not believe that less dls senslon would follow In America If the same cause existed. But with this dis sension the Irish people were ashamed to ask America for aid, but now the Irish members of the House of Commons are. 1 believe, more firmly united than they were Under Parnell In the days of the Land Lea gue twenty years ago. My appeal comes from a uaited Ireland. The present union Is due almost entirely to the work ot the United Irish League, which is the successor of the Land League The league represents every nationalist constituency In Ireland. It has branches In almost every parish In Ireland. It Is supported by the majority of the clergy and the hierarchy of the land. One of the trustees ot the organization, who will handle the funds. Is Dr. ODonnell, the bishop of Raphoe. These things I mention to show the force which bss united the Irish people, north, south, east and west Our objects are not new. They are the same as those of Michael Davltt, when be raised the standard ot the Land League In Mayo twenty-five year ago. You who come from Ireland know what Irish landlordism haa been. The land haa been confiscated from the native and given to those alien from the people by blood, sympathy and religion. Thla conditloa haa become ao well known in England that Parliament was forced to take from them the power of fixing the rent upon the land which they claim for their own. Although thla bss Improved the condition of th peopl In the last twenty years, the land question Is not settled, as we wish a law which will Dermlt the people to purchase the land. "The Irish people are. witntn sigm . ot the time when by act of Parliament the landlord system will be wiped out and the landlords given a fair remuneration for their holdings, for the Catholics of the south and the Protestsnts of the north are united upon this question. One hundred year ago, in th city of Belfast, Woire Tone aad other Protestante of Ireland dreamed ot the day when religious differ ences would be forgotten and Ireland would be united. At the end of tb century we find the dream cornea true. Tenants Are flreesilag Owner. Already 60,000 tenants have become own era of their own aoil. In my county or Wexford, owing to ct of parliament .one third of all tne larmers own men "' " upon fair and easy terms they are paying the government for th money advanced. If a bill now pending passed the time will come when every homestead will be owned hv the family who occupies It. I am here to appeal to you aa practical men to aid tis In Ireland In this movement, which I in the end sure to suceed, but will succeed th sooner If we can receive the id of Irieh-Amerlcans. I want you to bear In mind that the present movement Is ex tremely practical. W are not asking for something w cannot obtain. What we are asking for is something we can get If th Irish rare at bom and abroad win unite to auuport the eighty-three men who In parliament ar fighting the battle of Ire- land day and night. With twenty year of practical expert- I with th Irish people I am certain that It we had all the land laws and other law we need the peopl would atlll b dlnatls- (led until they hav th right to mak their own law upon their awn soil. 'A hundred year exactly bav passed sine our parliament waa destroyed. What has been tb result? Our population de creased one-half, our industries destroyed.
