FREE LAND.
The State of Washington's Governor-elect
Writes q Remarkable Pamphlet.

The State OF WashingtOn's GOvernOr-clect
Writes Remarkable Pamphlet.
TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 15.-Governor-
elect Rogers has issued a copyrighted
pamphlet entitled Free Land" and q
copy has been sent to each member of
the legislature, which will meet next
month. He takes the stand that free
land is an ''inalienable, imprescriptible
and indes+ructible" right of man, and
draws lessons from the freedom and
enjoyment of the Puyallup reserv-
alton Indians, which he thinks re-
suits from. their free, inalienable
and untaxable hOmesteads. His
position is supported by quota
tons from Emerson, 1ngersOll and
Seneca. In conclusion he proposes an
amendment to the state constitution
providing that real estate and all usual
improvements, to a value of not to ex-
coed 81, 500, occupied as q homestead
by any private family, the head of
which is a citizen of the United States
and this state, shall forever be ex-
empted from all taxation of every
kind. The pamphlet states that the
amount excepted by this scheme would
not exceed 10 per cent of the entire
valuation. He said such plan enacted
into a law Twill prevent that fatal
clash of the classes otherwise inevita-
BILE"
The pamphlet. concludes: County
government should be abolished or re-
duced to the merest skeleton of what
it now is. Township and municipal
government can attend to local af-
fairs. Let the state be called in where
necessary"

General Chicago Indignation.

CHICAGO. Dec. 15.-Deepest indigna-
ton 10 expressed in Chicago over the
latest report as to the manner in which
the Cuban insurgent leader, Maceo,
was entrapped and killed. The papers
contain interviews with many citizens,
who are outspoken in their condemna-
ton of General Weyler's course. The
consensus of opinion, as garnered from
these interviews, is that a universal
sentiment for the cause of the Cuban
patriots will be aroused, which, some
think, will speedily express itself in
definite action by the government.
Among those interviewed were Luther
Latin Mills, Levy Mayer, ex-Congress-
man Adams. S. w. Allerton, Martin A.
RyersOn and H. Fl. Higginbotham.

civilization. She has never dishonored
her foremost citizen, when living, for
extolling the cause of liberty, and
placed wreaths on his grave, when
dead, because he had been the friend
of liberty, She has done none of
these, and no dishonor of this kind at
taches to her name or imperils her
glory
Mr.. Allen said that he understood
perfectly that there were those who
had been born and lived in Massachu-
sets who had conceived a most bitter
hatred for the West and every
thing Western, and who believed
that neither good nor intelligence
could be found in that section of the
country. but he declared that the
patriotism of the people of Nebraska
was as broad and limitless as her
plains; their Christianity and sense of
duty as pure and untainted as her at
mosphere. Never thus far in the his
tory of the state had she been guilty
of dishOnOr, and never as long as in
telligence should be predominant and
God should reign in the hearts of her
people would she be guilty of anything
that would place a stain upon her good
name.

Turnpike Rights Upheld.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-In the su-
preme court of the United States
to-day Justice Harlan delivered the
opinion in the case of the Covington
and Lexington Turnpike road COM
pany VS.. Sanford and others. The &C.
ton grew out of the act of the Ken
lucky legislature of 1890, prescribing
rates of toll which the turnpike COM
pany refused to observe. Sanford and
others brought suit to compel accept
ance of the act. The case was decided
by the Kentucky court of appeals in
favor of the law. The decision to-day
reversed this on the ground that the
law in question violated the Fourteenth
amendment by taking the property of
the turnpike company without due
process of law.

FOR KILLING HIS AUNT.



TIPTON, Mo-, Dec. 15.-Further de-
velopments in the murder of Mrs. Nam
cy Birdsorg leave it still mystery.
lisa n Vaughn was arrested at Califor-
MIA, Mo-. charged with the crime. but
no positive proof of his guilt has been
pr need. and he strongly maintains
his nOccnce.
Vaughn is 4 nephew OF Mrs. Bird
song and was reared by her. He was
arr >"ted upon information of his
fatberin-law, Charles Williams. Bad
feelings have existed between Vaughn.
and Williams for some time. Fearing
an attempt would be made to lynch
the prisoner, Sheriff Born took him to
Jefferson City for safe keeping. which
was probably a wise move as later in
the night a number of men went to the
Jail and demanded the prisoner. Upon
being told of his removal they left.
Vaughn and Williams are both utterly
disreputable and each has served y term
in the penitentiary.

Many Tenders Of Aid to tho Cuban Lee
CATION ut Washington.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 15.-The
headquarters of the Cuban legation in
this city was the center of interest to
q number of callers yesterday, who
had come to express to Senior Quesada
their sorrows at the death of General
Maceo, and to offer their sympathy
and in some cases help for the Cuban
cause. These callers included a num-
Der of congressman and two senators
Whose names the Cuban representa-
tive declined to disclose), who told him
of their desire to see some action by
congress that be of assistance TO the
insurgents.
Senior Quesada says he has received
during the past few days about fifty
letters, many of which come from per-
sons and organizations Offering to send
men to assist the Cubans in fighting
for liberty. Among the states and
cities represented in these letters are:
Washington, Wyoming. Kansas. In
dianapolis, Buffalo. Evansville, Ind,
and Waterbury, Conn. Responsive to
these letters, Mr.. Quesada authorizes
his former statement that the Cubans
have enough men and leaders to gain
the cause for which they are fighting.
They can avail themselves of $4,000
men and more if necessary, but what
they need is arms and ammunition and
medicine for the sick and wounded.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY

WIN Soon BE Ready.

Its Principal Terms Agreed UPon-I'
WIN Soon BE Ready.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The negotia'
lions between the United States and
Great Breat for treaty Of
| general arbitration, covering all
subjects of difference between the two
English speaking nations. present and
prospective, has advanced to state OF
completeness far beyond what the
public has had reason to believe. The
purpose of. Secretary Olney and Sir
Julian Pauncefote is to conclude the
negotiations within the next three
weeks. All of the substantial features
of the treaty have been agreed on.
From the present status of the negO-
tiations it is believed the following
will be the important terms of the
treaty:
First-A term of five years from the
date of the exchange of ratification
within which the treaty shall be oper-
alive.
Second-A court of arbitration of SIX
members, three to be drawn from the
judiciary of the United States and
three from the judiciary of Great
Britain.
Third-The submission to this tribu-
nal of all differences between the two
nations now pending or to arise within
the period of five years. this not to in
clude the Behring sea question or the
Venezuelan question, now before indie
pendent commissions. but to include
the question of the boundary between
Alaska and British North America.
Aside from the previously referred
to points it can be stated in a general
way that the terms of the treaty are
such as to ''clear the board" of all the
vexatious questions which have arisen
between the United States and Great
Britain. These have been numerous
in recent years, and some of them have
threatened serious consequences.
The main purpose of the treaty, how
ever, is to guard against future differ
ences. threatening rupture. and in
this the negotiatOrs believe the terms
of the instrument will be such as to
avoid all possibility of international
conflict for the future.
The reasons for limiting the treaty
to five years are doubtless to place a
measure of this extent on fair trial.
after which, if the results are as good
as anticipated, the treaty can be re-
newed or be made permanent.
AS vet it cannot be stated definitely
whether the treaty will cover differ
ences involving national honor and
This was point of dis
agreement early in the negotiations.
1t is probable, however, an exception
will occur in this respect, as the treaty
is meant to cover the usual and ordi-
nary differences which arise between
nations rather than such extraordinary
events as an insult to the flag or any
other national indignity which are
usually considered outside the scope of
arbitration.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec l5.-Colonel
J. A. Juan, head of the Florida branch

from trusted correspondent in Ha-

staff, except DIR. Zertucha, his ply
sician, had been assassinated Deem

BY the Marquis Ahumada, acting cap
tain general during General Weyler's
absence from Havana in the field.
According to the correspondent the
Marquis Ahumada sent letter to Cen
eral Maceo inviting him to confer
ence near Punta Bravo, stating that he
desired to discuss with him as to some
means of stopping bloodshed and the
who was the soul of honor, never for a
moment thought treachery was in
tended, especially as the invitation
came from such noted Spaniard as
the marquis, and he Immediately re-
turned an answer, saying he would be
glad to meet the Spanish general.
Attended by his staff only, consist
ing of thirty-five men and officers,
MaceO went to the rendezvous. On his
arrival at the trocha the Spanish SOL
diers there, acting under orders, salut-
ed the rebel chieftain as he passed, but
after reaching the rendezvous on the
east side, near a hillside thickly wood
ed, the Cuban leader was surprised to
see, instead of the Marquis of Ahuma-
da, large body of Spanish soldiers.
Maceo felt that he had been cruelty
trapped, and his suspicious were con-
frmed when peremptory orders came
from Major Cirujeda, who dashed up
to the Cuban leader as he stood sur

unconditional surrender.

their death, striking down as many of
the enemy as they could.
MACEO AND HIS MEN SHOT DOWN.
Maceo is reported to have fallen at
the first fire with a bullet through his
bead, which broke his jaw, while an
other hit him in the abdomen.

Cuban commander in chief, was the
