For a long time past the relations between
Mr. Squiers and the Cuban government

the State department, which regards It as
essential to the conduct of business be

Intern-lews In the Havana Telegraph and a
leading New York newspaper, the minister
alTorded much encouragement to the Amer

Americans at home who had property In

"My Judgment Is," said Mr. Hlnshaw,
"that the president In his message to con

taken by him and will recommend to con
gress thst the Interstate Commerce com

Senator Millard, In response to telegrams
and letters received this morning asking
If It was the Intention of the Postolfle
department to move the Omaha division
of the rural free delivery service to Kan
sas City, as predicted by newspapers In
the latter city, had a conference today
with Assistant Postmaster General Hitch
cock and Degraw. As aresult of his talk
with these officials the senator said the
department at no time had contemplated
tho remeval of the Omaha division. The
rearrangement of the duties of several as
sistants to the postmaster general brought
about a change In the offlco to which rural
fre? delivery agents and superintendents
should report. That was the only change
contemplated by the department.

Representative Lacey of Iowa, chairman
of the house committee on public lands, ;
has arrived In Washington. Mr. Lacey bu
lieves that congress should do something
this winter toward amending the public
land laws and he Is particularly In favor
of the repeal of the timber and stone act,
which lias been recommended by tho secre
tary of the Interior. It Is claimed that
many of the land frauds aro directly trace
able to weakness In the timber and stone
law. When it was suggested to Mr. Lacey
that the repeal of the timber and stone
act would considerably reduce the receipts
of the Irrigation fund from public land
sales, he said this was not entirely to be
regretted.
"If It was not for the fai . that largo
sums of money which would otherwise have
gone into the general funds of the treas
ury have been converted Into this special

been so large a treasury deficit."

The second night of actual winter found
the cold Intense, plunging as Jt did sud

dence of the severity of the night was
the heavy flow of slush in the river. It
swept under the Douglas street bridge like
floating masses of snow. The stars also
had the steel blue glitter of the winter
night. The atmosphere was' clear as crys
tal and everything had a sharp, metallic
ring. The street cars, as they swept
around the curves, gave a shriller sound
from the frosty wheels.

streets, thinly clad, ran swiftly to keep up
a circulation.
At the police station another evidence of
the stress of weather was the way the
poor and vagrant class huddled In for
warmth. No less than fifteen straggled in
during the evening, begging for a place
out of the cold. A cafe of destitution
was reported from the bottoms and nn
officer was sent out to Investigate. The
