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

Mr.. Allen said that he understood
perfectly that there were those who
had been born and lived in Massachu-
sets who had conceived q 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 stain upon her good

CHICAGO, Dec, 15.-Deepest indigna-
ton iaexpressed 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 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 II. H. Higginbotham.

CATION at Washington.

BAblOn at washington
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 15.-The
headquarters of the Cuban legation in
this city was the center of interest to
a 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
drtring 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 10000
men and more If necessary, but what
they need is arms and ammunition and
medicine for the sick and wounded.

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 ac-
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 dus
process of law.

Seeking Proselytes In Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Wong Chin Foo,
who is credited with being the leader
OF party which is gaining ground in
China, ana which has for it's object the
establishment of republic in the land
of Confucius, delivered q lecture Sun
day night at Kimball hall upon "The
Philosophy of Confucius. In part he
said: "You have now studied the Bible
for twenty centuries, and have tried
to force the Christian religion down

net. Yet your own people are no bet

or than they were in the beginning.
CONTIGUOUS teaches that we should

go to heaven before we have done our
full work here. He teaches that the
future life will take care of itself If
we do our whole duty to our fellow

Wong Chin Foo then bitterly at

THE ARBITRATION TREATY
Its Principal Terms Agreed UpOn-It
WIN Soon BE Ready.

i
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-
ative.
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 a 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
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
sovereignty 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.

FREE LAND.
unto you.

The State OF WashingtOn's GOVernor-elect
Writes Remarkable Pamphlet.
TACOMA, Wash, Dec 15.-Governor-
elect Rogers has issued a copyrighted
pamphlet entitled Free Land" and
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 indestructible" 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, Ingersoll and
Seneca. In conclusion he proposes an
amendment to the state constitution
providing that real estate and all usual
improvements, to q value of not to ex-
coed $500, occupied as a 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 will prevent that fatal
clash of the classes otherwise inevita-
ble"
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"

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 15.-Colonel
J. A. Juan, head of the Florida branch
of the Cuban junta, received a letter
from trusted correspondent in Ha-
vana which fully confirmed the report
of the death of General Antonio Maceo,
the famous Cuban leader, and further
declared that Maceo and his entire
staff, except DIR. Zertucha, his ply
sician, had been assassinated Deem
Der while on his way to attend a con-
ference to which he had been invited
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 GEN
eral Maceo inviting him to a confer
ence near Punta Bravo, stating that he
desired to discuss with him as to some
means of stopping bloodshed and the
great waste of human life. Maceo,
who was the soul of honor, never for
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-fiye 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 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
rounded by his staff and demanded his
surrender.
Never" was the, brave reply, and
hardly had the words been uttered
when volley after volley was poured
into the little band, who, although
hemmed in on all sides and outnum-
bered almost one hundred to one,
struck spurs TO their horses, with cries
of Cuba Libre," and rode calamity to,
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 bullet through his
bead, which broke his jaw, while an
other hit him in the abdomen.
Young Francisco Gomez, son of the
Cuban commander in chief, was the
next to fall, and in few moments
bloody corpses, all shot almost beyond

was the Spanish fire, were all that re
