CALIFORNIA AFTER AN EXPOSITION
Senator Perkins Introduces n Bill for
One Mt San FranciscO.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-(Specal Tele-
gram. Ex-senator Perkins of California today
introduced bill which. in the light of ef-
forts being made in Omaha to continue the
exposition, may have an important bearing
on the question. Perkins bill provides for
the holding of a Colonial and Industrial ex-
position in San Francisco for the encourage
ment OF the export trade during the present
year. The bill is drawn very largely along
the lines of the joint resolution which will
be taken UP in Thurston's committee tomor-
row relating to the Greater America ex-
position. except that it defines the manner
In which exhibits are to be received and
customs duties suspended. 1t was referred
to the committee on commerce. Perkins feel
Ing probably that to refer it to the COM
mttee on international expositions might en-
danger its chance OF ever getting out.
Senator Thurston presented today resolu-
tion recently passed by the Nebraska legis-
lature relative to a bill now pending in the
senate pensioning General John M. Palmer of
Illinois. who. in his old age Is blind and
almost penniless. He also introduced bill
to create a pure food commission for the
purpose of investigating questions pertain
Ing to the production. manufacture. etc, of
food products and to suggest necessary legis-
lation pertaining thereto. This bill is the
outcome Of the recent Pure Food congress.

HENDERSON OPPOSES LARGE ARMY
Believes 10000 or 10000 at the out
side IL Enough.


side IL Enough.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-When the house
met today but little more than an hour re-
manned of the time for general debate on the
army reorganization bill. Mr.. Henderson,
republican of Iowa was the first speaker
today. He had, he said, been slow to catch
the war fever last spring. He had fore
seen some of the future trouble as the out
growth of the difficulties which beset lis at
our immediate doors. but he had not an
ticipated that we would be carried to an
other hemisphere 1000 miles from our shores.
He looked with aversion on any proposition
to increase the regular army and he hoped
1t would not be necessary to establish a
standing army of 100000 men. He was.
however, in view of the conditions, willing
to cheerfully support a proposition to in
crease the army to 900 or $4,000 men.
Beyond that he hoped he would not be
called upon to go. But If congress must
go beyond that he trusted that no provision
for 100, 900 men would be made but that
discretion be lodged with the president. The
president could be trusted. There was moth
ing in this country to call for a standing
army of 100000 men. The people were
peaceful and there was absolutely nothing
in the United States to draw the fire of the
guns OF any other country on the globe.
Mr.. Henderson spoke of the demonstration
of the 'kickers" which the country and the
house had witnessed. The kicking had begun
before the war was fairly under way. Some
kicked" at the president; some at the secre-
tary of war; some at the staff: some at the
adjutant general. There was kicking at
everything and anything. 1t was easy to
kick. 1t was the cheapest kind of states
manship, and the applause that greeted it
was the cheapest sort of applause.

one of the diplomats representatives of the
Cuban junta in Washington, will leave
Washington tonight on special mission for

proceed with all dispatch to join General
Gomez as soon as he can exactly locate that
officer. Senor Quesada is acting directly in
this mission under the instructions of Presi- e.
dent Palma of the junta and while 1t is not
deemed expedient at this moment to say
more of the nature of the mission with
which he is charged, it is known that the
officials here feel the utmost confidence that
results beneficial to Cuba and the United
States government are likely to follow.

PROFITABLE JOB FOR BURGLARS
Take S275 from Under the pillow OF
Sleeping Farmer.

SieepIhB
WYMORE, Neb., Jan. 27.-tSpecial)-A
queer story of burglary south of Wymore
has come to light here 1t seems that
James Green. sober and industrious farmer
residing several miles south of this city.
drew s275 from a bank in. neighboring
city and took it home with him. That even
ing he placed the wallet containing the
money in his trousers pocket and placed
the latter under his pillow. Mr.. Green had
been working hard during the day, but no.
ticed peculiar sense OF WEAKNESS and in
clination to sleep shortly after supper His
wife also seemed to be affected with the
same sensations, and the family dog, usually
far from quiet and docile, hardly made a
move during the evening. Mr.. and Mrs.
Green soon retired and they slept until
morning without hearing a sound, and on
awakening both felt very dlsagreeable, Mr..
Green especially so. After getting up, Mr..
Green looked for his trousers. which had
been left under his pillow. They were not
there. and an investigation located them in
the kitchen. The wallet had been emptied
OF its contents and the money was gone. All
indications point to the fact that Mr.. and
Mrs. Green. as well as the dog. were drugged.
but just how they are unable to tell.

SENT TO The WRONG WOMAN
Unaddressed Letter Causes Ripple Of Ex-
oitement in the Legislature.
HOUSE POSTMASTER OPENS THE mlsslvE
Causes some Embarrassment for
Eastman and the POstmRster's
Actions May Yet Be the subject
of an InvestigatiOn.

LINCOLN. Jan. 27.-tSpecial.) 1.-THE SEN
saton which was caused In the house this
morning by the introduction OF resolu-
tion by Cawthra Of Gosper asking for an In
vestigation Of the house postofflce, before
night had settled down to a question as to
the right OF the postmaster TO open let
ters and furnish addresses where the out
side OF the envelope failed to indicate for
whom the letter was intended. The vague
intimation OF threatened divorce proceedings
turned out to be nothing serious.
The story as 1t is now told by those In
terested is that some days ago a letter
was dropped into the house postoffice, upon
which there was no address. Some time
during the same day Representative w.
G. Eastman was in the postofice and one
OF those in charge showed him letter
addressed to Mrs w. G. Eastman, King
ston, Neb." The postoffice man explained
that the letter having been unaddreesed he
had opened it, found it was intended for
Mrs. Eastman and he had addressed II to
her.
Mr.. Eastman said he thought no more
about the matter at the time, as he was
in the habit OF writing to his wife nearly
every day. The postmaster did not allow
him to inspect the contents OF the letter.
and he knew no more about 1t until 1t
was returned by his wife with the sug-
gestion that he send 1t to the right woman.
The contents Of the letter are not made
public, but 1t seems that 1t was only such
a letter as man would write to his wife,
being addressed to Minnie at the be-
ginning and being signed Wesley" Mr..
Eastmans frst name Is William. and that
OF his wife Is Jane. so Il must have taken
quite Il stretch OF Imagination to discover
that the letter was intended for Mrs. East
man in the first place.
The member from Custer. while naturally
embarrassed over the notoriety that has
been caused by the bad guess OF the post
Office department. Is not seriously worried
over any impending domestic difficulty.
The committee appointed to investigate the
matter went over the ground this evening
and concluded that the trouble was all
caused by one OF the men in charge Of the
house postofice. who. while making bad
mistake as to his duties in the case Of un-
addressed letters. was innocent Of any in
tention to commit wrongful act. 1t is
probable now that the whole affair will be
dropped.
The news that the habeas corpus case
had been decided against Judge Skipton OF
Fillmore county caused little ripple OF
applause in the house this afternoon. 1t
was later learned that Skipton had taken
an appeal to the supreme court and had
been released on supersedeas bond.
The case will probably be considered by
the supreme court week after next. In the
meantime the election committee will likely
hold It's report until after the Skipton case
is fully decided in order II possible to gain
possession OF the missing ballot.
