Gross Cruelties Practiced in the Nebraska
Penitentiary.

Gross Cruelties Practiced in the Nebraska
Penitentiary.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 9.-The legis.
lative committee to investigate charges
of cruelty to prisoners practiced by
guards and attendants of the state pen.
itentiary made its report to-day. They
find that the most fendish abuse of
prisoners was INDUCED in. Men have
been strung up by the thumbs until
they tainted from exhaustion. Others
have been handcuffed with their hands
tied behind their backs with rope, a
loop of which passed around the neck
with the other drawing the hands as
high as possible.
One prisoner, Abner Powell, from
Omaha, who was treated in this man
ner, died while in that position, and the
committee practically finds that he was
murdered
Other specifications show where men
were beaten into insensibility by canes
and clubs In the hands OF guards for
failure to do the task assigned, which
their wretched physical condition rem
dered impossible.
In two cases men were half killed for
laughing at the guards when tricked
by shamming prisoners, In another
case man who complained that he
was unable to do the amount of work
required of him, was beaten insensible,
then dragged to the solitary" where
he was strung up for several days, be-
ing released but twice day to relieve
nature.
In addition to these cruelties the food
has been bad and, in many cases, al.
most rotten. The sanitary conditions
imperfect and personal cleanliness i'm.
possible. These stories have all been
corroborated by prisoners who were
unable to enter into collision in giving
evidence
The committees report will create ?
big sensation, the above being mere
outlines of the testimony taken.

THE TREATY WITHDRAWN.

The President Withdraws the Hawaiian
Treaty-Speculation as to His Reason
For 20 Doing.
WASHINGTON, March 10. The presi-
dent yesterday sent brief message to
the senate withdrawing the Hawaiian
treaty.
The message was received without
comment on the floor of the senate
The republican senators regard this &C
ton as in line with the course pursued
by Mr.. Cleveland in withdrawing the
Nicaragua treaty sent to the senate by
Mr. Arthur in the closin g days of his
administration Democre tic senators
look upon the act from two-fold point
Of view, some taking the ground that it
shows Mr.. Cleveland to be against an
nexation or American domination of
any sort in the Hawaiian islands, while
others hold that he will send in another
treaty more to his liking.
1t is understood that the reason for
the withdrawal of the treaty by Presi.
dent Cleveland is because he is opposed
to it in its present form. Whether or
not he will favor the making of another
and whether it will be an annexation
treaty or not, cannot be said on author
ity at this time, but gentleman who
has talked with the president on the
subject said this afternoon that an
other treaty would be made.
1t is intimated that the president will
suggest either by message or PERSONAL
" to senators that committee be ap-
pointed TO visit the Hawaiian islands
this year during the interval between
the adjournment of the special session
and the reeonvening of the next con-
gress Mr.. Cleveland, heretofore, has
been quite solicitous on this point
and made inquiries as to whether
or not the resolutions providing
for such a commission had gone
through. He had been apparently
under the impression that it had been
adopted He learned that it had not
been, but that the senate had authority
alone to provide for such commission,
probably to consist Of senators, and
that the contingent fund Of the SEN
ate could be drawn on for this pur-
pose.
