WON'T PAY IT.
House Cuts Down the Behring
Sea Award
In the Face of Secretary Ores
hams Recommendation.
SITS NIGHT AND DAY.
The Senate is Making a Record
for Work.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The general
deficiency bill, the last of the regular
appropriation bills, passed the house
yesterday. Almost the entire day
was spent discussing the amendment
to pay Great Britain 1925, 900, the
amount of damages agreed upon by
Secretary Gresham and Sir Julian
Pauncefote to be due that country,
under the award of the Paris arbitra-
ton tribunal, on account of the seiz-
IRE of some twenty Canadian sealers
by the United States previous to the
modus vivendi of 1892. The amend
ment was strongly attacked
by MessIs. Cannon, of Illinois;
Henderson, of Iowa, and Hit.
of Illinois, on the ground
that the amount was unreasonab ably
large; that some vessels were owned
by citizens of the United States, and
1915, 900 was for constructive or spec
ulative damages (the estimated
catch). Only Ss1, 900, they contended,
was due Great Britain. Messrs.
Breckenridge of Kentucky; McCreary
of Kentucky; Hooker of Mississippi,
and Dingley of Maine, supported the
amendment, maintaining that the
government, no matter how bad the
bargain, must carry out the awards
of the Paris tribunal in good faith.
Mr.. Dingley declared that it was
preferable to pay Great Britain $685.
900 than to leave the assessment of
damages to an umpire appointed by a
foreign power.
The amendment carried in commit
tee, but was defeated in the house
112 to 143.
Some excitement was caused by
the attempt to strike out IN the house
the appropriation for an extra
months salary for the employees of
the house and senate and the clerks
of mem bers, but it failed, and the
amendment prevailed-143 to 10s.
Motions to reconsider and recon-
nit were voted down as promptly as
offered, until the opposition dwindled
to point where it could not get the
yeas and nays. 1t then surrendered
and the bill was passed.

FIGHT WITH BANDITS.
Council BIuns Police and Bank Robbers
Have q Pitched Battle.

Council BLUFFS Police and Bank Robbers
Have q Pitched Battle.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Feb. ga
spirited fight between bank rob-
bers and the local authorities occurred
here late yesterday afternoon in
which several persons were shot and
much powder was burned Officers
had been notified to watch for the
men who robbed the Griswold, Iowa,
bank. Just after dusk, as one of the
officers was patrolling his beat. he
noticed a man sitting in the
Office of the Kie1 hotel who
answered the description telegraphed
from Griswold. Deputy Sheriff
O'Brien was notified and concluded
that he was one of the men wanted
and called to his assistance Deputy
Sheriff Hooker, and in company with
Officers Peterson and Ware, the party
entered the Office and invited the sus-
pect to Jail. As the five men left the
hotel two other hotel guests rose and
followed, keeping several yards be-
hind. Just as they reached the court
house O'Brien dropped behind, telling
his prisoner to walk in front. AS he
did this, two men who had been fol-
lowing the party commenced firing at
the officers. Pulling their guns
the officers returned the fire. the
prisoner and the two strangers
separating from the officers and
shooting as they ran. For some
minutes the fusilade was kept up,
citizens and other officers joining in
the battle, which had become general
all along the line, until the desper-
ADDE'S were overcome and two of them
placed under arrest and taken to Jail,
where they gave their names as John
Riley and James Wilson. AS soon as
they were secured behind the bars the
officers started to look for the
wounded, and in the search they dis
covered O'Brien severely wounded, a
bullet having struck him in the b.
domen, entering the body and lodg-
ing near the spine. Riley was hit in
the groin, the bullet penetrating
some two inches. The third man
escaped.
At the Jail the men who are under
arrest refuse to talk upon the subj ect
of the robbery. They say that they
are farm hands. In regard to the
shooting. they state that they were
scared and did notknow that the men
with whom they were fighting were
officers, and that they shot as they
supposed to defend their lives.

PROTESTS.
He Objects to the Action Of
France
In Boycotting American Cattle
Without Reason.
MUST PROVE CHARGES.
This Means a Long Investigation
By Experts.
MUST PROVE CHARGES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Mr. Eustis,
our am bassador to France, will be in
structed to enter a prompt and vigor-
Gus protest against the French de-
cree just made excluding American
cattle from France. AS the decree is
ostensibly based on the existence of
pleuro- pneumonia and Texas fever in
cattle coming from the United Sta tes,
the ambassador will call for proof of
the fact That will mean long and
expert tedious examinations by veter-
inaries and much correspondence,
which is not expected to be of
any more avail than that which
Mr.. Runson, our ambassador to Ger
many, was plunged into by the issuing
of similar deere e by the German
government, for it is fully realized
here that the allegation that Ameri-
can cattle are unhealthy is the merest
pretense in both cases, and that the
real reason is fear of American COM
petition. The American trade in
cattle with France has grown to con-
siderable proportions, the shipments
during six months ended Decent Der
81 last being 10, AL head, and during
the month of January last sol head
Secretary Morton was careful about
expressing bis opinion touching tho
French decree, but it could be seen
that he regarded it as a mere political
manifestation, and felt that it would
not be continued in force for any con-
siderable length of time, and that the
next change in the French cabinet
would probably be followed by the
revocation of the decree.
Notwithstanding this the belief is
growing here that these DEGREES are
but forerunners of other and more
severe restrictions upon American
trade, the next blow perhaps being
likely to fall upon wheat. It is un-
derstood that these are not adopted
as retaliatory measures, but are man
ifestations of the growth of the pro-
tective sentiment in Continental
Europe, and grew out of the neces-
sity the governments are under of
conceding something to the great
agricultural classes. Touching the
allegation of the existence of disease
among American cattle, Secretary
Morton says that there has not been
one ease of pleuro- pneumonia in the
United States during the past three
years, and that if even there had been
cattle suffering from Texas fever
among the carefully inspected herds
shipped to Europe, the disease being
non-contagious could do no harm
there.
