CAUGHT BY THE BEARD.
Beautiful Row i'm the Nebraska Senate
Yesterday.

Lincoln, Neb., March Ex-senator FL.
G.. Stewart, populist, of Dawes county,
engaged in an encounter with the SER
geant-at-arms on the floor of the senate
yesterday afternoon which, before IL
was concluded, almost precipitated
general hand-to-hani conflict between
political friends of the combatants. The
senator caused the trouble by refusing
to obey an order from the chair The
acknowledgement raped for order,
but the senator ignored him. The ser
geant-at-arms was directed to quiet
the speaker, but when he attempted to
do so the now thoroughly angry Dawes
county member resisted vigorously. The
sergeant caught him by the beard and
held on as if his life We're at stake. The
chamber by this time was in an uproar.
every member leaving his seat and
crowded around the two original COM
batants, the presiding DIGGER meantime
shouting for order at the top of his
voice. Finally Lieut.-Gov. Moore aban-
doned the chair, ordered the sergeant
alarms to release Stewart and brought
about Semblance of order. The popu-
lists moved to adjourn, but this was
voted down and a resolution adopted
giving Senator Stewart twenty-four
hours in which to apologize to the sem
ate or to stand committed as worthy of
a vote of cenSure. The house, after an
exciting debate, defeated the bill to per-
manently locate the state fair at Lin

FROM FOREST FIRES.
WESTERN KENTUCKY AND
SOUTHERN INDIANA SUFFER.
Heavy Financial Loss and Six Persons
Known to Have Perished in the Flames
Fire In Milwaukee suburb-Other
Blazes Yesterday.

Cincinnati Ohio, April 2.-Specials
from points in western Kentucky and
southern Indiana report that the forest
fires are still raging, but definite in
formation from any localities is lacking.
The loss is estimated at 100000 in Ken
lucky and less in Indiana. The death
of Henry Filler near Bowling Green,
KY, and two negroes and that of Mrs.
Penny, in addition to those reported
yesterday, make three white men, two
negroes and one woman lost. While
the farmers have been blowing and
doing everything to-day to prevent the
spreading of fires, and there is no
doubt of their loss and danger, yet it is
believed that greatly exaggerated re-
ports of the fires have been circulated.

SAW THE TAYLOR BROTHERS
They Were Met While Returning to Town
After the Meeks Murder,

Carrollton, Mo-, April 2.-The evil
dence for the defense in the Taylor
case was concluded Saturday by the
testimony of the brothers, each swear
ing that he was at home the night Of
the murder, and this was supported by
the previous testimony given by their
relatives. They had no witnesses ex-
cept their relatives, and many Of them
became badly tangled. The state proved
that Mrs. w. p. Taylor had said that
she had lost all hopes of her husbands
innocence and never wanted to see him
alive again. Attorney Bresnehen is in
receipt of a communication from Milan
announcing that DR.. Waters Of that
city while making a professional call
late at night saw William and George
Taylor driving into town. This i'm
portant evidence, late as it comes, will
almost put the hangman's halter around
the necks of the Inflated Taylors. 1t is
rumored that it may be necessary to
call for military protection if the jury
does not convict them. Interest in the
case increases and a bitter feeling pre-
walls. .......

last seen of her until the charred re-
mains of mother and child were found
together after the fire had been ex-
tinguished.

CUEANS PLAN A COUP,
Expect to Ask Recognition of Their
Provisional Government.

Washington, April 1.-The success
es which are said to be attending the
operations of the insurgents in Cuba
WILL if they are continued, soon lead to
a determined effort to secure recogni-
ton from the United States. While no
communication, either formal or infor-
NAL, has as yet been received at the
state department, its arrival is not I'M
expected.
1t has always been the policy of the
United States to recognize de facto gov
ernments If. therefore. the Cuban in
surgents can create a provisional gov
eminent, they will have taken long
step forward in the direction of securing
recognition as belligerents. This coun-
try also demands, as a rule, that the
new government shall issue currency
and shall be in possession of a consider
able portion of the territory over which
it assumes control.

slant Assistance.
British Trade Journal
The Reichstag has voted the
maintenace of the existing export
bounties on sugar until July 3rst,
1897. In the course of the debates
the Secretary Of the Treasury point
ed out that this action was neces-
sary because Of the depression in
the sugar trade, which affects in a
large measure, the interests OF
agriculture, and chiefly because of
the export bounties in France. The
export bounties in France were in
1884 5'85 marks; in Austria i'o2
marks. At present the abolition OF
the export bounties would kill the
German sugar export. The inter
ests of agriculture are closely con-
nected with this question. The
sugar establishments produce but
IL per cent. Of the beets they use;
33K per cent. are produced by the
shareholders of the sugar COM
panies, and 54H per cent. are pro-
duced on agricultural estates. At
present one centner beet brings but
70 pfennig, which leaves no profit
The argument that some sugar
companies pay very well is mad
missable, for they are exceptions.
About eighty companies have paid
no dividend at all during recent
years.
