He dealt with "The Philippine Islands and the Army," eaytng: "The northwest, whose eone In the ctvlj war added auch brilliant pagea to the honor roll of the republic, likewise bore a full share In the struggle of which the war with Spain waa the beginning; a atruggle alight. Indeed, when compared with the gigantic death wrestle which for four yeara atamped to and fro across the southern statea in the civil war; but a atruggle fraught with consequences to the nation and indeed to the world, out of all pro portion to the amallneaa of the effort upon our part. "Three end half yeara ago President McKlnley spoke In the adjoining atata of Minnesota on the occaalon of the return of ths Thirteenth Mlnneaota volunteers trom the Philippine Islands, where they had served with your own gallant aona of the North Dakota regiment. After , heartily thanking the returned eoldlera for their valor and patriotism, and their contemp tuous refusal to be daunted or misled by the outcry raised at home by the men of little faith who wished ua to abandon the Islands, he apoke of the ialanda themselves aa follows: Recalls MeKlaley'a Promise. Thst congress will provide for them a r government which will Dring infra Dr ma which will nromote I heir material In' tereets as well as advance their people In the path of civilisation and intelligence, . .wnKHantlv behove.

Now It lies la the realm of positive performance. "It le a good thing to look back upon what has been said and compare It with the record of what has actually been done. If promises are violated, it plighted word Is not kept, then those who have failed In their duty should be held up to reproba tlon. If. on the other band, the promises have been substantially made good; the achievement has kept pace and more than kept pace with the prophesy, then they who made the one and are responslbl for the other are entitled of Just right to. claim the credit which attaches to those who serve tho nation well. This credit claim for the men who have managed ao admirably the military and the civil affalra of the Philippine Islands, and for tboae other men who have eo heartily backed them In congress, and without whose aid and support not one thing could have been accomplished. Arnr Heatoree fese. "When President McKlnley spoke, the first duty was the restoration of order, and to this end the use of the army of the United States an army composed of reg ulars and volunteers alike waa necessary. To put down the Insurrection and reators peace to the Islands waa a duty not only to curselves but to the Islanders also.

TROUBLE OVER PARTY RATES Strong; Maes Desire to Confine Them Raclaalvely to Theatrical Companies. CHICAGO, April 7. (Special Telegrams Trouble which haa existed for aome time over the application of party rates haa led to the calling of a mass meeting of weatern lines tomorrow In the office of the chair man of the Western Passenger association. An effort will be msde by several of the strong lines to. secure a castlron agree ment to confine party ratea to theatrical companlea. The snarl over the matter haa become so bad however, that there la little hope of reaching an agreement which will hold after the first party presents itself for transportation. Chairman MacLeod and some of the general passenger agenta are making strenuous efforts to have party rates corftned to theatrical people, be cause If made general the government can demand party rates tor the transportation of troops and marines.

GOVERNOR tends to leglnhi ture message which might be taken fn vrto of con stitutional convention resn.ution If he has the veto power, but which nuke the houss and senate to reconsider their action an I act on proposed amendments to the pres ent constitution. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. April 7. (Special.) The governor this afternoon aent a communi cation to the legislature regarding the Joint resolution calling for a constitutional con vention. The communication might bo called veto of the resolution, while on the other hand he appeala In the communi cation to the members of the legislature to reconsider Ita action and a.tbrolt Inatead aome needed amendments to the present constitution. The message takea up at aome length the question whether the governor haa the power to veto the Joint resolu tion. Inclining to the opinion thst the con stitution gives him such power. He plainly points 'out his disapproval of the submis sion of the call for a constitutional con vention. It is ao worded that in case it should be held the governor has the veto power the communication would operate aa a veto. No action waa takn on It In the aenata, but when It waa read in the house a motion waa made to reconsider the action of the house on the convention matter. . A point of order waa made against the motion that aa the resolution originated tn the aenate, that body had custody of It and the house could not act until after the aenate had acted. The speaker sustiined the point of order and the whole matter went over. Veto la Overridden. The first time this session tho legislature haa passed a bill over tha governor's veto., The measure Is 8. F. 81, which the aenata acted upon laat 'i night. The house took it up thla morning and amid acenee of ex citement., overrode 'tha ' veto or the chief ; ftHuutlve. A -two-ihlrdq vet being ffeoaa- ,., - the homo hd to muster elxty-seven TOtes. which It dld after the most atren- uous skirmish or the kind this session. It even surpassed that of yesterday when the constitutional convention bill was rail roaded through agalnat the Judgment and wlahea of Governor Mickey and the pro posed amendments to the constitution, for which he stood, were burled In the legis lative grave yard. ' S. F. 31. the bill authorizing J. E. Cohbey to publish 600 aets of the compiled stat utes of Nebraska at $9 a aet, came back from the aenate this morning with an of ficial notification that it had passed over the governor's veto and the request that the bouse concur In the aenate'a action. Douglas of Rock and McClay of Lancaster mado vtgoroua speeches In an endeavor to stem the tide, support the governor and leave the aenate alone at sea. But Sears of Burt, Perry of Furnas and Thompson of Merrick (all theae being republican lead ers) spoke In advocacy of the bill and de cried what they termed an appeal to aentl ment by those who had urged non-concurrence in the aenate'a action. Finally the matter came to a roll call. But the roll call waa barren of results and had to bo repeated. Indeed it waa repeated at toast half a dozen tlmea and the namea of somo members were called a dozen tlmee before they would vote. It waa evident that many preferred not to go on record. Scarcely a member kept his seat during the proceedings which were fraught with great excitement. Such lively lobbying haa not ! been aeen alnce January 6. Presently a round-up was mado and the roll waa sev eral members "shy." Then tho call of the house was demanded. It proceeded a little way and was raised. Again It waa de manded, ralaed ond demanded again, be fore It waa evident that the bill bad passed with the necessary two-thirds majority. The final vote was sixty-seven to twenty four. Twenty-ono of the minority were re publlcsns and three fusloniets, Loomls and Kennedy the fusion leadera and Qlshwlller. Several other fuslontsts originally . voted to non-concur, but were, dragged over be fore the vote was announced. Object a Raalneaa Oar. Governor Mickey in explaining hla veto of thla measure, says: I herewith return to you 8. V. 31 without m v approval. This is "a bill for an act authorizing the preparation of an official statute making It admissible in evidence nnl suthorlzlng the purchase of a supply thereof by the ntute." For economical easone It si-eras to me proper that thin bill rhnuld be vetoed. It provides that too sets of two vohnres each of the ststutes thus compiled eiiwil lie pur chased by tho state for .llxtr:utlon at a ,...t nf in ucr ret.

The governor probably will cut out of the appropriation bill the amount Included to pay for theae books. Prominent bouae members declare bla veto will be over ridden If he does. He could, by holding the bill until after tha legislature, adjourns, circumvent Its action. Month Omaha Police Hoard.
