matter was under discussion and ref
erence was made to the resolution de-
nouncing the lynching Of Scott, when
Edgar Howard DemocraD arose to
offer a resolution. Howard is editor of
the Papillion Times. His resolution
was that the house denounce the lynch
ing of Charles Smith, a negro, which
occurred In Omaha, October 10, 1891,
and in which several hundred Of the al
legged best citizens of Omaha took part.
The house was at once in an uproar,
several members standing on their
desks and shouting vainly for recogni-
ton.
Howard gravely said that he thought
1t only right to make no discrimination
between white and colored lynchings.
The roll was called, number of Re
publicans voting to lay the resolution
on the table. DIR. Ricketts,, the colored
Republican from Omaha, arose and in
towering passion denounced his Re-
publican colleagues for deserting the
colored man in this way. Confusion
again reigned, and in a few minutes
it was greatly increased when several
of them asked leave to change their
votes. The changes We're agreed to
and the motion to lay on the table was
lost. Then the motion to denounce the
Smith lynching was carried by . vote
of 76 to II.

Washington. Jan. 24.-It has always
been the custom Of the German embas
sy In Washington to celebrate the birth.
day OF the emperor by giving some sort
Of social function. Last year It fell
upon a Saturday and a handsome re.
ccption and ball was given. to which

9th, when Wilhelm III. will be 30
years old. The ambassador was q good
deal puzzled as to what he should dc
this time, because he did not wish to
offend the public sentiment In this city
In favor OF Sunday observance. Some
Of his friends advised him to repeat the
entertainment OF last year on Saturday
others recommended a ball on Monday
night, but he finally decided that what.
ever he did must be done on the act.

Bluffing the Almighty.

In the department of Castaneras in San
Salvador there has been no rain for nearly
a year and the people were brought to such
a pass that they were actually dying oi
thirst, to say nothing of the total destruc'
ton of all crops and other agricultural In
dustries. Ell Pueblo Catolico of San saliva
dor prints a decree promulgated by the al
cade of the principal town in that depart
ment- 1t Is as follows:
..Con sidering that the Supreme Creator
has not behaved well In this province, as II
the whole of last year only one shower o.
rain fell; that in this summer. notwithstand
ing all the professions, prayers and praises
1t has not rained at all, and consequently
the crops Of Castaneras, on which depend
the prosperity Of the whole department, art
entirely ruined. 1t is decreed:
article I--If within the period Of eighi
days of date of this decree rain does moi
fall abundantly, no one Will go to mass oil
say prayers
Article u.-If the drought continues eigh
days more the churches and chapels shall b'
burned, and missals. rosaries and other 90
1ects of devotion will be destroyed.
..Article III.-If. finally, in third periOt
of eight days, 1t shall not rain, all tbs
priests, friars, nuns and saints, male anC
female, will be beheaded. And for tn,
present. permission is given for the commits
sion of all sorts of sin, in order that th'
Supreme Creator may understand witt
whom he has to deal"
The most remarkable feature of this af
fair Is the fact that four days after the de
cree was promulgated the heaviest rainfall
known for years was precipitated on th'
burning community.

Newspaper Communications Are Brought
Into Court
Washington, Jan. 24.-Although Judge
Cole handed down his decision against
the witnesses who refused to testify in
the Senate sugar trust investigation and
ordered them to stand trial, 1t is hardly
likely that the seven witnesses will face
jury for some time, II ever. The cases
will yet be taken to the United States
Supreme Court, where the constitution
ality Of the law under which they were
indicted can be fully tested. The decl-
sion OF Judge Cole, however. will prove
OF much interest to politicians and news
paper men because Of the two questions
he decided. One, in regard to campaign
contributions, that the amounts paid
Will have to be disclosed to proper au-
thorities, and the order that confidential
communications TO newspapers cannot be
considered as such, and that it Is not
sound law to treat such confidential i'll
formation as privileged. He also decides
that the source of newspaper informa-
ton is pertinent question for an inves-
ugating committee to ask. II is for this
principle that the two newspaper corre-
spondentS refused to answer the uutS-
tons OF the committee, and, notwith-
standing the courts decision. they are
still likely to refuse to break confidence
and disclose the names of their inform
ants.

Charlottesville, Ind, Jan. 24.-It Is
probable that William w Taylor, the
defaulting treasurer of South Dakota,
has been located near this city. The
authorities of that state are now on their
way to Charlottesville at the instance of
John G. Overton, justice of the peace
and ex-county superintendent and a
prominent citizen. Overton claims that
he has Taylor located beyond a doubt,
and is in no way troubled about his es-
cape, as he is dangerously i'll, much of
the time unconscious.
Overton first notified the South Dako-
ia authorities last Sunday, and to-day re-
ceived word that the attorney general
and q United States marshal would ar
rive here tomorrow night Overton's s
knowledge did not leak out here until
this evening when official and press tel
egrams began to pour in. Overton has
two others associated with him in the
find. but refuses to give their names. He
asserts that he learned of Taylor's
whereabouts by the merest accident, and
that he is absolutely sure Of his game
