sage on the financial situation formed the

sage of the House bill with Senate amend
ments) disappearing an agreement with the
Southern Ute Indians, providing Tor their re-
moval from Colorado to Utah, aIlotting lands
in severalty to those desiring them, and re-
moving others rom a portion OF the present
reservation and confining them to the west
ern part OF it and to several townships in
New Mexico The bill was passed.
The interest in the House yesterday CEN
tered in the Presidents message, which was
read Immediately after that body convened.
There was slight skirmish over its refer
ence and that of the administration bill which
Mr.. Springer introduced. but both were re-
ferred to the Committee on Banking and
Currency, Mr.. Wilson having waived juris-
dlction OF the bond feature of the message
which could have gone to the Ways and
Means Committee.
Members were busy discussing the message
and bill throughout the session and gave
little attention to the debate on the bill to re-
peal the discriminatlve duty on sugar I'M
ported from bounty paying countries.
AT the conclusion of the debate Yesterday
Mr. Wilson attempted to effect an arrange
ment for vote after two hours of debate
to-day. but Mr.. Grosvenor obiecteaa

Beach & Bowers minstrels appear
at Harper's theatre tonight. The
Lincoln (Neb.) Daily State Democrat
says of the show:
standing Room Only" was the
legend hung upon the outer wall OF
the Peoples theatre last evening. the
occasion being the first appearance
in this city this season of Beach &
Bowers minstrels. Full 200 people
were compelled to return to their
homes without getting admission to
the theatre, and many Of those who
did get in had to stand or sit in very
uncomfortable and uneasy positions,
SO great was the jam. MIR. Browne
attempted to shut the ticket Office
when all the seats were sold, but the
people would not listen to such
a thing. yet he absolutely refused to
sell any more. OF the company
much may be said. A great deal OF
new Business is introduced in the
performance. A great many new
songs and dances are introduced
throughout the evening. Messrs.
Beach and Bowers are the principal
fun-makers Of the company and sue
coed in keeping the audience in a
continual roar of laughter from the
time the curtain rises until the end
of the performance. No better COM
pany has visited Lincoln for some
time, and it goes without saying
that they will not lack for audience
during their engagement.
