tional Conference.

His OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
gew Opposes h Bill.

Washington, Jan. The senate to-
day, by Il vote OF 40 to 10, agreed to a
motion made by Mr.. Hale. rep, Maine,
that the adjournment today shall he till
Monday next.
Mr.. Bacon, dem, Georgia. introduced
a joint resolution declaring that the
United States deprecate war and desire
the maintenance of peace M friend
ship with the world and inviting all
civilized nations to make a correspond
ing and reciprocal declaration.
He asked that the joint resolution be
referred to the committee on foreign
relations and It was SO referred. Mr..
Allen, pop, Nebraska, introduced a con-
current resolution, which was laid over
declaring that any judicial sale Of the
properties of the Union Pacific railroad
without additional legislation by con-
gress would not be binding on the gov
OF the United States, nor pre-
clude it from any legal or equitable
right therein now possessed, unless such
sale was subsequently ratified by con-
gressional action.
The senate bill for a commission on an
International monetary conference was
taken up and Mr.. Villas, dem, Wiscon-
sin, delivered a prepared speech against
1t as "A Vicious and misleading bill"
Three times" he said, 1.-The United
States had caused the pretty piece t be
acted, twice at Paris and once at Brus-
sells. The truth was, and the senate
might as well realize it, tina that inter-
national force no longer pleased .Alneri-
cans. They could all, or nearly all, be
fooled a part of the time, but the time
for such folly had passed"
Mr.. Stewart, pop, Nevada. said that
he could not refrain from rendering to
the senator from Wisconsin his sincere
congratulation. That senator had elo-
quently portrayed what he (Mr. Stew
arD had always deemed to be an ex.
IRENE folly. The application to foreign
powers to regulate American domestic
affairs a always seemed to him pre-
po%sterous.
Mr.. Pettigrew, silver, South Dakota,
said that he protested against the pas
sage of the bill; first, because this coun-
try was capable of managing its own
affairs without the assistance Of any
other nation, and second, because he did
not believe that the United States
should any longer be supplicants at the
feet of European nations which were
the chief benetlciaries of the gold stand
ard. He declared that he would have
no part in any effort for a further con-
ference after the humiliation submitted
to in the former conferences.

Sherman Asks That the Country he
Told What 1t Already knows.

Sherman moved an executive session,
stating that 1t would require but a short
time. When the doors were closed he

clause: But nj question which affect.
the foreign or domestic policy Of either
of the high contracting parties or the
relations of either with any other state
or power, by treaty or otherwise, shall
be subject to arbitration under this
treaty except by special agreement"
The second strikes out all reference,
wherever 1t occurs, to the king OF Swe-
den and Norway as the umpire where
the tribunal fails to agree upon such
umpire. After the report was made Mr..
Sherman asked that inasmuch as the
text OF the convention had been mad.
public the injunction of secrecy be re
moved from the ext of the amendments
but Senator Morgan objected and the
request was denied. No attempt wa.
made to arrange a time for the constd.
Grafton of the treaty, nor was anything
said about debating 1t in open session.

Iapeer, Mich, Feb. 3.-The legislative
junketing party which arrived at mid
night Saturday night had a rather dis
agreeable welcome On account Of the
lateness of the hour there were no hacks
at the depot to convey the gentlemen
to their hotel, so the honorable legisla-
tors set out on foot in quest of a place
to lay their weary heads for the night,
but in the wanderings lost their way.
After tramping through tn snow banks
for about two hours they finally ran
across the city marshal, who at first
took them for hobos and was on The
point of running them in. when they
finally convinced him that they did not
belong to that fraternity. Thereupon
the good marshal conducted them to
their hotel. Early IN the morning, ac-
companied by Commissioner John He

feeble minded and after a careful exam

URGED TO LOWER RATES..
Nebraska Railroads Asked to Reduce
Tariff on Corn.

Lincoln, Feb. S.-Nebraska's hoard of
transportation has addressed a letter to
Zach of the railroads operating in Ne
braska in relation to the complaints re-
ceived from farmers of e%xorbitant and
practically p%rohibitive freight rates on
corn east bound. 1t says: /.
Numerous informal complaints have
been made at this office against the
rates on corn and coal, and that farm
ers are compelled to burn their corn,
as the freight rates are to high to per-
init Of shipment. The board has been
urged to reduce local rates to Missouri
river points. From inquiries sent to all
parts of the state the board finds that
from so to Der cent of the farmers are
burning Co.. ana also a large percent
of the people of the towns, and 1t seems
to the board that it is a plain business
necessity that the rates should be SO
adjusted that the corn could be o
veyed to market and allow the people
of the state to burn coal. 1t requests
that h roads give this matter theiy
immediate aCtentinon."
