NEW MEDICAL BILL
Which Will Not Attempt to Shut Out
ANY Glass of Practitioners.

The house committee on hygiene and
public health has decided to turn down
all the bills which have been introduced
for the regulation of the practice of
medicine, and have formulated an en-
tirely new bill which was presented to
the house today. The bills which were
turned down were introduced by Bene-
fiel, JaQuinS and Bradbury. In addi-
tion to these several other bills were
presented to the committee but they
were turned down also.
I'VE knew that if we recommended
any of the bills that had been intro
duced into the house they would never
pass" said DR.. Shelley, chairman of the
public health committee. 1.-The bill
which we prepared simply raises the
standard required for practitioners
without shutting out any special class,
and it does not mention patent medi-
cines."
Our committee will recommend that
these other bills be turned down." said
Representative Marks, a member of the
committee, ION the ground that the
ground is covered by the committee bill,
but as matter of fact the committee
bill does nothing of the kind. 1t is
law, while those other bills were radi-
cal in the extreme. The house would
have killed them if we hadn't, and I
expect that the house will kill the COM
mittee bill, too. There were all sorts OF
bills before the committee, besides the
ones which had been introduced into the
house. There was one an inch thick
which admitted everything from a
horse doctor up, and others shut off
healers, Christian Scientists and every
body except regular physicians who
passed an examination.
Some of the bills were aimed at
patent medicine companies and had the
appearance of being designed simply
turers cough up The committee
turned them all down."

RAISED TO SI3,OOO,OOO.
Offer to Gomez to be Increased by
$1O.OOO.OOO.

Havana, Feb. 1.-Mr. Porter's mission
to Gen. Gomez is a two fold character
to discuss with him fully the position of
the Cuban army and to invite him to
Havana.
The Washington administration de-
sires an immediate and friendly set
tlement of the Cuban army question. As
the military chiefs decisively refuse to
accept So, 900, 900 in complete satisfac-
ton of the claims of the soldiers, Wash
ington has determined, it is understood
to offer a much larger sum even as high
as sum as $4,000, 900 if less will not be
accepted.
Whatever is agreed upon is to be
charged upon the revenues of the island
until it is paid.
The Cubans, civilians and military,
are aware that an engagement of this
sort may pro1ong the American occu-
patton, but as it seems to be their earn
est wish that the army be paid a great
sum, the administration at Washing
negotiations with this ultimate object.
Mr.. Porter is said to carry letters
from President Mckinley and Governor
General Brooke. The scope of his in
structions is not disclosed, except that
it is known that he has rather full pre-
liminary powers. Senior Quesada did
not know them until he and Mr.. Porter
were aboard ship
The CubanS here are in a state of eX-
pectation and excitement.
Shares on the local bourse rose from
one to three points today, which is gen.
orally attributed to the probability that
the Cuban soldiers will be diSbanded
and will return to work.

OMAHA MAY
RUN ITSELF.
All City Officials Seem Likely
To Land In Jail
Unless the Authority to Commit
Them Gives Out.
CHARGES OF WRONG
And Corrupt Practices Abound
In All Departments.
Judge Scott as Usual Plays an
Important Part.

Omaha, FEB. 1.-Omaha city business
may soon have to be transacted from
the jail unless a solution is found for
the tangled web of litigation and
charges of crookedness now being in
vestigated. Some time ago Police
Judge Gordon sentenced Captain Tier of
the police force to Jail for contempt
and the case is now pending on appeal.
He threatens to order the arrest of City
hands of the city attorney which the
Judge asserts belong to police court
records are returned.
The city council is debating the queS-
tion of bringing impeachment charges
against Police Judge Gordon and will
in all proba bility do so unless the leg
islature can be induced to 1egislate him
out of office.
The board of education is investigat-
ing charges of corruption made in con-
nection with the American Book COM
pany's contract for furnishing geog-
raphies to the public schools, and the
city council is also laboring with
charges made by the city engineer that
a ring within that body is running city
affairs for it's own political and pecun-
iary benefit.
A clash between Judge Scott and the
excise board is likely to land that body
in jail for contempt of court for re-
fusing to comply with the courts or
der. Impeachment charges against
Judge Scott have been filed with the
legislature, and finally the quo war
ranto proceedings instituted by ex-
Mayor Broatch to oust Mayor Moore
are still pending in the supreme court.

the war investigation committee, was
equally confidential with this man, and
through him attempted to procure evil
dence to attack Major Daily, whose an
alysis proved the charges.
More than this, there is in Brine's
message a frank reference to his at
tempting to use money in obtaining
what he wanted from officers, and the
reference is far from carrying the i'm
preston that he despaired of the money
being accepted
The beef barons are worried by what
has come out, and are fiercely denying
that they poisoned the soldiers for gain.
General Miles tacitly offers to prove it.
1t now appears, and one telegram
bears out the idea, that part of the beef
sent to our soldiers was old stuff that
had been sent abroad and rejected by
France.
The truth is half out now; the full
villainy will be known before the his
