OMAHA, Feb. 2.-Omaha city business
may soon have to be transacted from
the jail, unless solution is found fol-
tangled web of litigation and charges OF
crookedness now being investigated.
Some time ago Police Judge Gordon
sentenced Captain Her of the police
force to Jail for contempt and the case
is now pending on appeal. He threat
ems to order the arrest of City Attorney
Connel, unless papers in the hands of
the city attorney, which the judge as.
serts belong to police court records, are
returned. The city council is debating
the question of bringing impeach-
ment charges against Police Judge
Gordon and in all probability will do
so, unless the legislature can be
induced to legislate him out of office.
The board of education is investigating
charges of corruption made in connec
tion with the American Book company's
contract for furnishing Biographies to
the public schools, and the city council
aissalso ahoring with charges paade By
the city engineer that a ring Within that
body is running the city affairs for its
own political and pecuniary benefit. A
clash between Judge Scott and the ex-
else board is likely to land that body in
jail for contempt of court for refusing to
comply with the courts order. I'M
parchment charges against Judge Scott
have been filed with the legislature, and
finally the quo warranto proceedings
Instituted by ex-Mayor Broaten to GUST
Mayor Moore, are still pending in the
supreme court.

HAVANA, Feb. 2.-Robert p Porter,
the representative of President McKin-
ley, and Senior Quesada, the Cuban
commissioner, who recently left Wash
ington on a special mission to Cuba.
started at a. m. for Caibarien, prov
ince of Santa Clara, in order to see Gen
eral Gomez.
Mr.. Porter's mission to General Go
mez is of a two-fold character, to dis
cuss with him fully the position of the
Cuban army and to invite him to Ha-
vana.
The Washington administration de-
sires an immediate and friendly settle
ment of the Cuban army question. As
the military chiefs decidedly refused to
accept S3,OOO,000 in complete satisfac-
ton of the claims of the soldiery, Wash
ington has decided, it is said, to offer a
much larger sum, even as large as $751;
900, 900, ii less will not be accepted.
Whatever is agreed upon is to be a
charge upon the revenues Of the island
until it is paid. The Cubans, civilian
and military, are aware that2an engage
ment Of this sort may prolong the
American occupation, but as it seems to
be their earnest wish that the army be
paid great sum, the administration
at Washington will yield, it is under
stood, and open negotiations with this
ultimate object.

HALL ADALI LOST THE MATCH
Big Turk Fails to Throw Mcleod Twice
in Sixty Minutes.


ST. PAUL, Feb. 2.-Danny Mcleod.
champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler of
America, won his match with Hall
Adali, the giant Turkish wrestler, and
gave him 60 minutes of as hot wrestling
as has ever been seen. The match was
under the auspices of the st. Paul Ath-
letic club, the conditions being that
Hall Adali should throw Mcleod twice
in an hour Oh forfeit 81 900. The Turk
secured the first fall in 81 minutes after
Mcleod had broken away a number of
times.
In the second bout Mcleod assumed
the defensive and by his superior agility
kept the Turk on his feet for about 90
minutes of the time, although there was
an occasional mixup. In the last ~
minutes Mcleod assumed the offensive
and kept the Turk busy all the time,
not only in his endeavor to throw Nc
Leod but in keeping himself from the
ignominy Of fall The referee called
time while the men were in a terrific
struggle on the mat.

ALLHOPEGONE
Most Ardent Supporters Of Drey-
fns Admit That No Justice
Will Be Done.
Nearly Every Frenchman Has an
Opinion of Guilt or In
nOcence,
Which Not All the Reasoning in
the World Would Suffice to
Change.
Result of the Agitation Will Be
q Terrific Onslaught of Vio-
lence on Jews.

PARIS, Feb. 2-The most ardent sup
porters of the theory that Dreyfus was
unjustly condemned now admit that
there is no longer the least hope that
justice will be done.
A prominent member Of the Univer-
sity of Paris, who, from the first has
been militant champion of revision of
the trial, says:
s'For SO out of 100 Frenchmen the
guilt or innocence of Dreyfus is a mat
ter of sentiment All the reasoning in
the world would not induce them to
change their attitude. There are mill
ions of Frenchmen who will insist upon
Dreyfus' guilt, in spite.of any proof to
the contrary A feature of the sit
,uation is that the attitude of this
majority is dictated by motives which
they believe are deserving of high
est respect. I admit that some of
the Dreyfusards are much to blame
for this. The best cause may be ruined
by disreputable adherents, and there
are men on the Dreyfus side of whom
every patriotic Frenchman is the nat
nral enemy While the majority of us
have been merely demanding that JUS
tice should be done. a pestilent minority
has made this demand an excuse for
virulent onslaughts on institutions we
hold in great esteem"
Inlconclusion the member of the uni
versity predicted that the result Of the
agitation will be san onslaught Of I'M
paIalleled violence ON the Jews, as the
masses are convinced that they are the
bottom Of the wfioie ftrot BILE ~ -. a-sl
The Liberte, which is usually well In
formed, says;
'sThe decision of the court of cassa-
ton in the Dreyfus affair will be that
the evidence proves the existence of a
traitor, but that neither Comte Ester.
hazy nor Lieutenant Colonel Henry
could answer to the culpability re-
vealed by the secret dossier."
This statement is all the more sig
nificant, in that it is made by pro.
Dreyfus paper. The Liberte adds:
ssThe dependency of the Dreyfus
party seems to show that the solution of
the problem is as distant as ever"

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Feb. 2.-Major
General Guy v. Henry, military gov
ernor Of Porto Rico, has deposed the
mayors and councilmen of Aguilla and
Moco, in the province of Aguilla, and
has temporarily suspended the civil au-

official corruption.
Captain Mansfield, Eleventh United
States infantry, who is now in charge Of
the district, has been instructed to APP
point new officials chosen from the Rad
ical party. The offenders belong to the
Liberal party. General Henry intends
his summary action to serve as an OBJ

and a warning against similar failure Of
government from similar causes.

POOL BROKEN.

iron ore COMBINE VIII Not Govern the
Output This Season.
DULUTH, Feb. 2.-Tne combination of
iron ore miners that for the past half
dozen years has governed the price of
bessemer ores and has allotted to each
range and every mine the amount it
could sell in the market, is broken.
1t got together this month in Cleve-
land, but the interests failed to agree on
an allotment and the whole thing broke
up. Before the break, however, the
pool managed to make a price on ore
for the coming year about 20 cents
above that of last year.
Contrary to the general result when
pools are broken, there will probably be
no decline when the prices arranged by
the agreement are changed, but an ad.
vance. 1t was the fact that some inter
ests thought the pool prices too low that
caused the failure of negotiations for an
allotment agreement

gotiations he had been opposed 30 the
acquisition of the Philippine archipel-
ago and said that She had freely and
frankly advised the president and his
fellow commissioners of his belief that
it would be unwise to
Attempt to Shape Its Destiny.
He had used his best endeavors to bring
them to accept his views, but had ut
terly failed and at last reached the con-
clusion that he would either have to
join with the majority or see the treaty
fail and the war continue. In the mean
time he had been largely won over by
the arguments of his colleagues and by
the logic of the situation, and he had,
at last, concluded to sign the conven-
ton. Having taken his position he was
here now to defend the treaty as a wise
conclusion of most delicate diplomatic
undertaking. Many complications had
beset the commissioners in their work,
and while he would not retract what he
had heretofore said as to the undesira-
bility Of
Acquiring Distant Territory
as matter of principle, still there were
times when nation, as an individual,
might have to choose between evils.
Senator Gray did not advocate perma-
nent occupancy of the eastern islands,
but said that the duration of our exer-
else of sovereignty there should be set
tied in the future and not at present.
Senator Money attacked the acquisi-
ton of the islands as contrary to the
spirit Of American institutions and as
unconstitutional. He said the govern
ment of the United States could not af-
ford to put itself in the attitude Of a
Don Quixote in vain effort to care for
and advance the interests Of every peo-'
pie in every land that appeared, accord
ing to our standards Of civilization, to
