CHARGE OF FRAUD SUSTAINED
Result of Nebraska Investigation of
Recent Election.

OMAHA, Neb., July 27.-At the last ses-
sion of the Nebraska Legislature a COM
mittee of three was appointed by the Sen
ate to investigate certain charges relative
TO alleged irregularities in the recount of
ballots on a constitutional amendment re-
lating to increasing the number of judges
of the Supreme Court, as we'll as other mat
tiers in connection with the official conduct
Of certain state officers. The report of the
committee was completed in this city to-
day and forwarded to the Governor. 1t en-
bodies the history of the investigation and
concludes with an appeal to the Governor
TO do his duty and punish the parties whose
guilt IS indicated. The committee declares
that the charges of fraud in connection with
the recount on the constitutional amend
ments have been sustained by the most
conclusive evidence, as well as by the ap-
pearance of the ballots themselves.
1t finds that Ex-Governor Holcomb has
Incorporated at least s773 of the amount
drawn by him on account of house rent
during his terms of Office. and recommends
that the attorney general be instructed to
take the necessary steps to recover the
amount and return ii to the treasury. The
committee also comments with some Sc
verify on the action of the state officials
in refusing TO aid its members in their in
vestigations.

CHINA-JAPAN TREATY.
Exchange of COurtesies That Has At
tracted Attention in Russia.

WASHINGTON, July T.-In diplomatic
quarters concerned with the affairs of China
and Japan. it is said that the old ill feeling
between the two countries. dating long be-
fore the war and made more acute by that
struggle. recently has been obliterated by
several graceful and significant courtesies
exchanged between the Emperor of China
and the Emperor of Japan. The latter was
the first to extend the olive branch by con-
ferring on the Emperor of China the dec
Grafton of the highest order in Japan. Re-
Gently the Emperor of China has returned
the compliment by decorating the Emperor
of Japan with the highest order of China.
a similar spirit was shown on the death
short time ago, one of the strongest trib-
Ctes paid him coming from officials high
in the Chinese service. Another recent
mark of restored good feeling Is the send
ing OF many Chinese students to JaDan for
modern Quotations This era of good feel
ing in the Orient was referred To at the
legations here in connection with reports
from Picking a. To the visit of the Japanese
admiral and squadron. and the probable
contamination of a Japan-China treaty.
The reports that Japan and Russia are
ceived with much allowance in the dipIo-
matte quarters chiefly concerned. and il is
pointed out that an entente cordiale was
arranged between the two countries last
year concerning affairs in Corea. This ar
rangement is still in force, and there has
been no evidence that either government de-
sired TO depart from IL.

A Story Concerning Empress Eugene
and Her Son.
"saunterer," in Boston Herald.


With all her capacity for sorrow, the
Empress Eugene does not appear TO have
much heart or sentiment in her composition.

library door of the Tuileries would have
been contradicted long ago. On the con-

either Eugene is Indifferent 10 the painful
reflection IL casts on her character as a
wife and mother. she is a victim of the
perennial gossip monger and innocent of the

once more and sent 1T on its rounds as fresh
as ever. When the ruins Of the Tuileries

were purchased by a gentleman I'm the

DEFENSE OF THOREAU.
Not the Kind Of Man Bret Harte De-

Boston Transcript.


A paragraph is going the rounds of the
press which attributes to Bret Harte some
disdainful comments on Henry Thoreau's
hermit life at Walden. Mr.. Harte is repre-
scented as saying that until he visited Con-
lance between Thoreau's hut and civiliza-
ton. Moreover, Mr.. Harte is reported as
saying that the late Mrs Ralph Waldo EN-
erson said that Thoreau never went out of
hearing ''of our dinner horn" We hesitate
to attribute these Slurs Thoreau directly
to Bret Harte. because what a man saws Is
often so distorted by repetition and because
they imply that II he ever read Thoreau's
justly famous book he must have forgotten

OTHERS WANT RECIPROCITY.
Friendly Nations without Trade
Treaties See Their Mistake.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-There is a good
deal of curiosity among the diplomatic rep
resentatives here of those countries which
have not been fortunate enough to secure a
reciprocity arrangement. such as Portugal
has, or a treaty, as in the case of France
to learn the disposition of the United States
government. should overtures be made to
arrange other conventions. Now that the
time limit fixed in the Dingley act within
which the arrangements might be made has
expired II is a question whether or not the
President win regard the spirit of the act
as being against further agreements in the
direction of reciprocity or whether he will
avail himself of what are regarded in some
quarters his general power under the
Constitution TO make treaties which cannot
be limited by the action of Congress. The
point that Is regarded officially as being
particularly deserving of serious considera-
ton Is whether not IL Is worth while for
the State Department to proceed with other
reciprocity sections of the Dingley act. neg
1ecting only the time limit fixed by that act.
IT appears probable that the Department
will incline to this course IL only to prevent
complaint from countries that so far have
failed to secure treaties.

NO MORE BRYAN VOTES
KENTUCKY POPULISTS ..ROAST, THE
ORATOR FROM THE PLATTE.
Refused to Nominate the Probable
Democratic Candidate
Against GOebel.

FRANKFORT, KY, July 27.-The Popuist
State convention to-day named a full State
ticket. John q. Blair, of Nicholas county.
was nominated for Governor by acclama-
ton. The platform adopted indorses Whar-
ton Barker. of Philadelphia, for President
and Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, for
Vice President. 1t reaffirms the former
Populist national platform and declares in
favor of government ownership of all public
institutions as means of stamping out
trusts. emphasizing the government owner
ship of railroads. 1t condemns the Goebel
State election law attempt to dis
franchise the voters of the State and says
further:
I'VE regret to see that Hon. William j.
Bryan, for whom the Populists of Kentucky
voted in 1896 for President of the United
States, by his public Endorsement of the
ticket nominated at Louisville, and the plat
form there adopted assumes the responsible
ity Of indorsing the criminal attempts of
corrupt elements of Kentucky politics to SUBJ
vert the ballot.
In order that the Populist party may be
preserved forever free from fraud, bossism
and political corruption, such as now DOM
mates both the Democratic and Republican
parties in Kentucky, as well as in other
States, as exemplifed in the late spectacle
of the Democratic convention, controlled
by policemen and others sent there to de-
feat the will of the Democratic masses of
Kentucky and the Republican convention
at Lexington, controlled by Federal office
holders, We indorse the policy of applying
to the management of the Peoples party,
as far as practicable, the principles of direct
legislation in nominations and the conduct
of the party affairs
The nomination of Blair was something of
surprise and came about by change of
plans of the leaders after they came to the
convention. An effort was made to have
the convention nominate former Governor
John Young Brown, who is a candidate for
Governor on an anti-Goebel platform, but
the anti-fusion sentiment was so strong
that 1t failed to go through, though some
OF the delegates and party leaders regarded
1t with much favor. The tenor of the
speeches was enthusiastic and ii was evil
dent that the Populists believe that the split
In the Democracy over the nomination of
Goeeel will result in such disaster in No
Vember that their party will rise to political
supremacy in the State soon.
Before adjournment tonight the conven-
ton nominated G. w. Reeves, of Ballard
county, for United States senator. Reeves
was a probab ility for the nomination for
Governor, but was later entered against
Blackburn
