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

ma which will nromote I heir material In'
tereets as well as advance their people In
the path of civilisation and intelligence, .

"Whst he said then lay In the realm of
cromlse. 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. We
could not have abandoned the conflict with
, out shirking this duty, without proving
ourselves rirrients to the rr,rruory of our

it we would have Inflicted upon the F.ll
plnoa the most cruel wrong and would
have doomed them to a bloody Jumble of
snarchy and tyranny. It se-rus strange,

Europe by the payment of export
had resulted in an accumulation of an ab

the cost of production. , Raw augar had
sold In Hamburg, which makes the price
of the world -at five shillings 11S4 pence, a
price 25 per cent below the record price.
Prices on the Missouri river had reached
4.15 centa.
President Oxnard said tha company had
Indicated a capacity to earn money under
conditions the like of which had never
prevailed and were unlikely to occur again.
The great' augar producing countries of
Europe had united to abolish export boun

the price of augar. Raw augar was now
selling at Hamburg at 8a 2d, an advance
of 33 per cent. The price In California

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. Railroads both
east and west have united in the deter-
mlnatlon to fight the Interstate Commerce
commission's order compelling thorn to re
duce the ratea on hay. The case, which
will probably be hoard by the conrta In

(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. Involvlna n total ex-
i JieilSfl OI iit-iriwiuir uir ew ,.
i.irrhnxe.l Ita needed Kunolv of the com-
- ,atule. at un expense of $2.60 per
volume, the entire stotJti-s being Included
!r the one volume. Ho far aa 1 have been
iihle t' determine the romplled statutes
have been very satisfactory and have an
swered eery purpose. It does not appeur
to bo u rational proposition to obligate
the state to pay 19 for a cer-'ke whlt-h can
lie furnished for ti.V. The till la Ihvrefore
returned to your honorable body.
l Tno majority or lawyers in ma legisla
ture supported the bill, but leading at-
it
(ornl.yg (rou, the outside threw ihclr com
bined influence agaiust it.
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.
