FOR A THIRD TERM.
Grover Cleveland Said to Be
Laying the Wires For 1900.

Princeton, n. J., Feb. 25.-Grover
Cleveland, it is stated on excellent au-
thority, is to be a candidate in 1900 for
a third term as president. His initial
move to this end, it is added, is to be
taken by him at the dinner of the New
York Democratic club, to be given at
Delmonico's next Thursday night.
In his speech as the guest of honor
there, it is predicted, he will outline a
new national policy for the Democratic
party and inferentially offer himself as
the standard bearer when it is ready for
public test.
From the same authority it is learned
that the keynote of the new Cleveland
policy will be anti-imperialism and anti
expansion. The currency question, it
is asserted, is to be relegated to the
background in large measure, as
question already practically settled in
large decree. 1t will be held that the
future of this nation hinges on the
right settlement of the questions deal
ing with the territory acquired during
the recent war, and that this settlement
can rightfully be only upon the basic
fact, Government only by consent of
the governed
The practically unanimous rejection
of the doctrine of free silver by the
Democrats of the eastern states in their
conventions last fall is held by politi-
clans to afford an excellent opening for
the return of Mr.. Cleveland into the ma
tional arena. His attitude on the Ha-
waiian question, it is also asserted,
makes him a natural leader of the anti
expansionists in the coming fight.
The most prominent men in the Dem
ocratic party are expected to attend the
banquet. 1t is said that all are eager
to have Mr.. Cleveland point out the
path to party salvation, and that many
of them are ready in advance to accept
his views. The leaders are convinced,
it is said of the fact that only the pre-
sentauon of a united front to Republ1-
canism can elect a Democratic presi-
dent in 1900, and that none is SO COM
petent to bring unity about as is Mr..
Cleveland,

GOMEZ THE HERO.
A Great Demonstration i'm His
Honor at Havana.

New York, Feb. 25.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says:
Cuban patriotism is satisfied. The in
surgent soldiers have marched through
Havana streets bearing their arms and
Gen. Gomez has been received with mil
itary honors by the American military
commanders. Surrounded by them he
watched $500 of his soldiers defile in the
plaza of arms past the palace. He
watched these soldiers from the balcony
on which Gen. Brooke and other Amer
lean generals stood less than two
months ago when the last company of
the retiring Spanish troops saluted the
American troops and Capt. Gen. Cas-
tellanOs formally yielded the Spanish
sovereignty. After witnessing the re-
view Gomez went to Vedado, which is
Gen. Brooke's headquarters, paid his
respects and conferred with him re-
garding the disbandment of insurgent
troops.
That is the most important affair, now
that the Cuban celebration has been
held 1t is also important to know that
the result of the celebration has con-
tributed to a better understanding and
will help the disarmament. Expressions
of good will toward Americans were
universal. The events of the day were
credita BILE to the Cubans and were also
significant in the lack of resentment
toward the Spanish classes. 1t was not
a day of rejoicing for Spaniards, yet
they could not fail to be gratifed at
the care taken to avoid wounding their
susceptibilities.
The fiestas were not solely in honor
of Gomez, as this was the fourth ami
versary of the beginning of the revolu-
ton. but Gomez was the hero. There
couldn't be a doubt of his popularity.
1t seemed to partake more of gratitude
than of personal affection, but the ac-
acknowledgement of his leadership was
universal Some scenes We're tropical
in their emotional effusiveness. The
climax was reached when Gomez ar
rived at the palace and was received by
Gen. Ludlow and other American COM
manders.
The parade itself gave a good oppor-
tunity to judge of the sentiments of the
people. The Americans remarked with
satisfaction that the stars and stripes
were seen everywhere. They foated
over buildings along with the Cuban
emblem, were interviewer in the tri-
umphal arches and among some of the
patriotic and workingmen's societies
appeared to be more numerous than

orphan asylum were par.Ided by an in
structor and at regular intervals cried
Long live the Americans, anu Cuba
for the Cubans-"
Several Dominican flags were carried
out of compliment to Gen Gomez
Three Cuban flags, soiled and torn,
were carried by Cuban soldiers, and one,
which was said to have been Maceo's,
stirred the deepest emotions.
The Cuban troops themselves received
fewer evidences of popular feeling than
might have been anticipated from the
desire which had been expressed to
have them parade with their arms.
Three-fourths of them were black cav
airy, who had carbines Of an old pat

AIMED AT w. F. GUTHRIE.
Captain Seaton's Motion to Advance
a Bill is Defeated.

AT the morning session of the house
today Captain Seaton moved to ad-
vance on the calendar the bill prohibit
ing members of city councils from act
ing as attorneys in suits against their
respective cities.
This bill is intended to apply espec-
tally to w. F. Guthrie, who is a MEM
Der of the Atchison council and also at
torney for the Atchison Bridge COM
pany, which is continually in litigation
with the city. II is said that the bill
was prepared by Bale Waggener, who
is an ancient enemy of the Guthries.
The bill was introduced by Mr.. Will
cox, the Populist member from Atchi-
son county. but is being pushed by Cap
tain Seaton, who explained that it was
of Importance to every city.
There was no debate against the mo-
ton, but when the vote was taken Cap
tain Seaton and Mr. Wilcox were the
only ones who voted for il, while larger
number voted against it.

A TESTIMONIAL OF ESTEEM
Presented ergeant-at- Arms Thomp-
son BY His Assistants.

Just after the house adjourned at
noon today a messenger went to Ser
geant-at-Arms Will Thompson and said
to him:
Speaker Osborn wants to see you
in his Office
What for?" asked Mr. Thompson.
Don't know" answered the messen-
ger. Guess something's up"
Mr. Thompson went into Speaker
Osborn's private office and there found
all his assistants solemnly seated
around the wall as if awaiting their
doom. Speaker Osborn motioned Mr.
Thompson to a vacant chair and said:
Things that some of the men under
you have said about you have come to
my ears and 1 have called you in here
to talk to you about it. l have also
accusations. 1 realize that it is a hard
job to handle men and please every
body, and 1 further realize that you
have had an especially hard job. L may
wake up some of these times to the
fact that this gang out here that think
l am running is not pleased with my
way of doing business and may say
mean things about me-"
The criticism began to look serious,
and Mr. Thompson glanced around the
room to ascertain who had been max
ing complaint about him, but every face
was just as serious as his own.
You understand, of course" con-
tfnued Speaker Osborn, that we all
have to be careful as public officials.
What they have been saying about you
is this: That you have done the best
possible under the circumstances and
that you have been a very pleasant Of
they have asked me to present you
with this and he handed over a fine
ring.
An expression of relief overspread Mr..
Thompson's face as he accepted the gift
and made an appropriate speech thank
ing his assistants for it.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF MURDER
Queer Evidence Introduced in a St
Louis Criminal Trial

ST. Louis, Feb. 25.-In the trial of
Campbell Allgaier on the charge of muir
der here,a decided innovation in GRIM
inal Jurisprudence has been introduced
Photographs purporting to portray
every stage of action in the course Of
the assault were brought forth by the
state and allowed evidence.
The entire tragedy, as the prosecu-
ton presents it, was acted out before
camera. Not only were the relative
positions shown but every feature of the
scene was portrayed. When the pic
lures were introduced it created
storm of argument, but Judge Tally
was firm and could not be changed in
his decision. Attorney Anthony, for the
defense. strenuously objected to this
form of evidence, but Judge Tally over
ruled the motion and an exception was
filed. If a conviction is obtained an ap-
peal may be taken.
The photographs admitted as evil
dence in the trial of Campbell AlIgaier
for murder, purporting to show how the
deed was committed were taken by Po-
lice Photographer Baker for the prose-
cution several days after the tragedy.

GOULD'S DOG BEATEN.
His Russian Wolf Hound, Winner of
Six First Prizes, is Given Second
at the New York Show.

New York, Feb. 25.-Madison Square
Garden was thronged with spectators
on the second day of the dog show. The
dogs were more petted and admired
than on the opening day.
The noisiest breeds were the collies
and bull terriers. The collies again at
tracted much attention, especially the
Morgan kennel, and three beautiful
rough-coated ones belonging to jenkins
Van Schaick. Go-Bang, the invincib1e
wire-haired fox terrier, was judged,
ed the ring.
George Gould's wolf hound, Olga ",
winner Of six first prizes, was beaten
but managed to get second over a good
field. Clarence H. Mackay was there

pointers were beaten.

tern and infantry Mausers, Remingtons
and Springfelds. Nothing in the ap-
pearance or bearing of these Cuban
soldiers was meanacing to the future
peace of the island. The incident which
attracted the most attention in the Gel
ebration was the blending of the Amer
lean, Cuban and Spanish flags. These
three flags were SurmOunted by an en-
blematic banner, with the motto Peace
Harmony and Union No unfriendly
demonstration met this suggestion. 1t
was received in respectful silence at
some places and at others with cheers.
Spanish ribbons were also displayed and
one squad of men marching among the
civilian societies was pointed out as
composed of peninsulars, or Spaniards.
Many of the banners bore titles such as
Peace and Concord and Nov We
Struggle For Peaceful Industry"
The celebration has left a pleasing
impression. No disorder occurred and
the absence of rancor toward the Span
ish classes is causing favorable COM
ment- Those, while quiet, are not as
sullen as on January l, when the Amer
lean occupation began. They are pleas
ed at the consideration shown to their
feelings.
The Spanish newspapers tell Gomez
that they cannot greet him as either
victor or liberator, because the Ameri-
cans are the real conquerors and Cuba
is not liberated, but they are grateful
for his influence in establishing peace
and concord and promise their adhesion

querors. American officials are not
concerned over these utterances. They
are gratified at the sentiment of friend

ebration has developed. They do not
misinterpret this as an encoura cement

vantage of the good feeling to press the
Cubans to cooperate in disbanding the
troops and resuming peaceful pursuits.
The celebration satisfies the mass of
the people and prepares them for SER

NORMAL SCHOOL BILL
Was Under Consideration in the SEN
ate This Morning.

The senate this forenoon considered
Representative Harris bill carrying ap-
preparations for the state normal school
at Emporia.
The bill as passed by the house had
$4,000 for a summer school, but this item
was stricken from the bill.
Senator Jumper made the fight
against this part of the bill, and he con-
tinued his warfare against the PROPOSE
ton to appropriate for salaries, $35, 900
in a lump sum. Jumper wanted the bill
recOmmitted, proposition which Sena-
tor Forney, chairman of the ways and
means committee, in charge of the bill,
opposed vigorously. He said The re-
gents want these salaries in a lump, be-
cause they can save money here and
there by employing student teachers, at
a salary less than that fixed by law
Senators Jumper and Crossan said
this scheme to have the money appro-
priated in a lump sum was for the pur-
pose of raising salaries of some teach
erS or professors.
Senator Coleman (Rep) of Nemaha
wanted more time to consider the bill
and supported the motion to recon-
init the bill.
Senator Forney said the senate should
stand by the house in this bill. To this
Senator Ryan said:
IF you propose to begin now doing
things because the house has done so
and SO, serve notice that you are going
to have trouble"
Jumpers motion to recommit the
bill was lost and the bill was passed
with $35, 900 for each of the ensuing fiS-
cal years for salaries.
Jumper voted for the bill in final pas
sage. Campbell, Hanna, Hart, Ryan,
Shaffer and thinner voted aginst the
hill
