He told her he would pronounce the

that he doubted not that he could with.

RAILWAY MA TIERS.
Attorney Gensrs Leese's rseport-Anothe.
Rate war -Innupurated

Attorney General Leese'a Report-Another
Rate War ~Inaugurated.
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. ID. -Some Of. the
points covered by the report OF Attorney
General Leese has become pu bile. From
the course of the attorney general here
tofore some interesting statements and
bold recommendations have been antici-
pated, and the anticipation has not been
disappointed. Passing over several
points OF Importance the report contains
two principal points. The report strong
ly recommends that Nebraska's repre-
sentatives in Washington be requested
to take measures to secure the fore
closure of the general mortgage on the
Union Pacific aud the sale OF the road.
The reason given for this recommendn-
ton are that tho road is hopelessly In
solvent, and it is suspected that the OBJ
stereperous demeanor of the Union Pa
ciftc officials In the attorney generals
frequent tilts with them has also had
its effect In prompting this recommends
ton OF extreme measures.
The other recommendation Is that the
members of the state board of transpor-
tation shall be elected for that place and
have 10 other duties. The report de-
plores the fact that nothing has been SO
far accomplished by the board, bur ex-
presses the hope that the next board
may do more. Under the present ar
rangement the board shoulders the re-
sponsibility for the actions OF the secre-
taries without having Tina 10 govern
them. The tone of the report is sharp
and decisive, and thoroughly in keeping
with the previous actions Of Its authors.

To-day was the day agreed upon for adj
iournment for the holidays. The attor-
ney general stated that he asked for an
extra sitting. in order that he might an-
ply to the court to take action aspect
ing William O'Brien and an article
which the latter had published in his
paper-The United Ireland-in which he
stated the time lad arrived for plain
speaking regarding the Times foreer.es
of Mr.. Parnell's letters. The writer said
he did not care n two-pence for the opin-
ion of the three judges who had been Sc.
lected by the forger's friends and accom-
Elices. The judges decided to hold an
extra session tomorrow, and that Mr..
O'Brien must attend to answer the
charges against him.

| LoNnoN, Dec. 14.-Those who imagine

greatly mistaken, and from what is
learned it may result in a serious diplo-
matte controversy. The first intimation
i that the incident has ssum a new

United States protests against Lord
Saltsbury's policy in refusing to send a
minister to Washington in place of Sack

hands ten days ago, n its uncompro-
missing tone must have opened his eyes
to the grave difficulties which confront
him. The United States not only re-

to Sackville, but refuses to be b%oycotted,
and the note makes it very clear that If

1t is understood that Mr.. Phelps has
intimated that his mission will be Of
short duration If Lord Salisbury persists
in his present course. 1t Is understood
that Lord Salisbury is resolved not to

Republicans conie into office. He will
have no further relations with the Dem

that this policy does not meet with the

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IA - Two
strangers from Arizona entered the San
Bernardino National bank. One Of them
presented a check to the cashier, u. HI.
Morse, and asked him to cash it. The
latter refused, saying that he would
have to be identified. Some words fol.
lowed, when the stranger drew a reyol-
Yer and shot Morse through the body.
The latter returned the fire and put two
balls into his assailant. Six or seven shots
were fired in all. The two strangers ran,
but were arrested and lodged in Jail. IL
is thought that Morse and his ~assailant
will both die. 1t is believed that the
men entered the bank with the design
of robbery.

who shot Cashier Morse Is John Cakes,
who has worked on the railway here
about a month. His companion was a
deputy sheriff from Arizona, and had
nothing to do with the shooting. When
Oakes presented the check and Morse
said he could not cash it without identt-
ficatiop, Cakes said: "I'll make you,,'
and fred. Morse returned the fire ard
nine shots were exchanged. Morse was
