amount To $50. Mr. Payne tried very hard To
prevent it's adoption. He and others insist that
Gen. Carr was not only gallant soldier ard
very prominent man. man but ,an that duTinG the

others from the West Insist that IL la a bad
precedtn to exceed the ffty-dollar limit, and
commnGistio sentiment among the people; On
Dec. 10 last this same bill was sent to the Pre-, ,-

Gunboat to BRnEk0k.

wAsHISGToN, Feb. 5.-The State Departmon
has received full report OF the Kellett affair
at Chiengmai Slam, from Minister Barrett.
which indicates that 1t WAS greatly exag-
gerated In Importance. and there has never
been any occasion for sending a United States
gunboat TO Bangkok on this account. Mr.. Kel-
lott, who is an unpaid OfficAl appointed by the
Consul General, had sent two OF his native SER
wants at night to post a letter. and one of them
carried a cane, contrary to law. He was arrest
ed and taken to jail Mr.. Kellett endeavored to
rescue the prisoner without formality. and In
the resistance offered by tho Sergeant Mr.. Kel-
lett was struck about the head and had his face
scratched.
Later In the evening the servant was released
by the Sianese Com issioner who sent n SER
want TO inquire after Mr.. Kellett'S injuries. MIR.
Kelett said no had no reply to mako until he
communicated with the Minister at bangkok

Calvin Rose died ut the county hos
pittl in North Platte last Monday night
after n lingering illness of q week,
which fact is causing n little uneasi-
ness among n number of persons in
North Platte. About n week and a
half ago Mr.. Rose, who was n farmer
living in the southern part Of the
ty, came to town and IL liz claimed
drank heavily. lie was then taken In
tow by n number Of North Platte
young fellows who thought they would
have some fun with the old man. le
being about sixty-five years old. They
got him so full of whisky that he be-
came stupctied, aud then they shaved
u side of his face, moustache ind
clipped the hair from one side of his
head. The old man was then placed
behind a curtain la Guy Laing's saloon
and a free show was established for
the crowd, lilo was kept in this con.
dition for a day and night and then
placed In his wagon and started home.
The next day he was found in the
bottom of the wagon unconscious, and
the team was roaming over the country.
lie was found in II very bad condition,
with u structure in the bladder, which
incompetent men tried to remedy with
the result that he grew worse. Rose
was then brought to town, where the
doctors relieved him. Since then Mr..
Rose has been lingering between life
and death.
Quite u sum of money has been raised
to prosecute an action against h per-
sons concerned, and IL is thought that
both civil and criminal prosecutions

they will have Police Judge Gordon to
blame il the case is dismissed. Bart
ley's attorneys called attention to the

was referred to as the police court and
the Judge as the police ju dye, and no

by the constitution of the state. The
warrant on which BARLEY was arrested
did not contain the charge on which he
was to be arrested.
Judge Baker expressed himself Mt
considerable length on the character
of the transcript, and then said he
would hold the matter open until
Wednesday, morning.

Senator's were in caucus nearly four
hours. The only official announce

the Republican members of the finance
committee, who were to act as a com
mittee to assist in getting the tariff

orally stated, however, that an agree
mem had been reached that there
should be no set speeches on the bill
from the Republican side, except that
Of Senator Aldrich.
A resolution or memorandum offered
BY Senator Burrows was agreed to by
those present which sets forth that the
sense of those present-therc not being
a full attendance Of the caucus-wa
that Republican Senators having
amendments to offer should present
them to the Republican members OF

presenting them are to have the right

SPAIN CANNOT Holt CUBA

Educated spaniards In Paris.
New YORK, May GO. --Nathaniel Page
of Washington. the lawyer who con-
Quoted the Mora cinim against Spain.
has just returned from a visit to Eng
land, France and Holland. He was
asked about the consensus Of opinion
in Paris and London concerning the
war in Cuba. lie said:
I'm Paris l met many highly edu-
Gated Spaniards and they do not see
how Spain can retain Cuba. They and
others in Cuba think II is only q ques.
ton Of time when Cuba will &c to the
United States. They do not see any
other solution Of tho problem, and
they do not seem t o grieve over the
situation.
Spain Is drawing little revenue
from Cuba now The customs dues
collected used to amount to 500. 900
900 annually and now they have sunk
to about $50, 900, O0U. This does not
pay one-half or one-third Of the in
terest on the national debt. The ma
tional debt of Spain held outside of
the country amounts to $1,000, O00, 900
and the funded debt incurred by the
last war in Cuba is ss6O, OOO, 600. This
question of SPANS indebtedness, of
course is discussed a great deal in
Europe and the conclusion is that the
wal cannot be carried on much longer.
Spain s credit cannot hold out. 1t is
thought that when Sagasta becomes
prime minister, instead of Canovas, he
will inaugurate a different policy and
widely recognize the inevitable. No
one In Europe who has given any
thought to this subject comedies that
Spain can hold Cuba.
