WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE two
events of Importance in the house this
week, before the adjournment for the
holiday recess on Wednesday, will be the
vote on the currency bill tomorrow. i'm
med1ately after the reading of the
Journal, and the announcement of the
committees on Tuesday. Under the terms
or the special order covering the cur
rency bill, neither a motion to recommft
nor a substitute proposition is In order,
and the vote will be taken directly upon
the passage of the bill. The result is a.
toregone conclusion, as the measure will
command every Republican vote. The in
terest In the vote therefore lies only in
the record Of Democratic disaffection it
will show.
The Eastern Democrats generally, with
the exception of a few from New York
arc not In line with their Democratic
brethren from the South and West on the
money question, but not all of them will
vote for the bill. According to careful
canvass made by Mr.. Overstreet, of In
DIANA who has been in charge of the
measure, it will receive eight Democratic
votes at least, and he believes seven Dem
ocrats will dodge He figures that the
Dill Will have a majority of thirty-five. So
Tar as can be ascertained no other bust
ness Will be transacted by the house this
week

WAS NOT STOLEN.

A young man from Garden City was
in the city Friday and made a few
purchases. He left his package in the
waiting room of the union depot and
went up town between 400 and
500 p. M, not returning until after
supper. Then he could not find his pro-
perty and raised disturbance, want
ing to hold the railroad company liable.
Satusday it was ascertained that
the janitor had picked up the package
at six o'clock Friday evening and.locked
it up for safe keeping, as there was no
one in the depot at that time, and this
being his instructions. The package
was forwarded to Garden CitySaturday
forenoon.

The Chicago Record says that the
Great Northern railway under the in
fuence of James J. Hill, is preparing
to build a feet that will surpass in
speed, tonnage and every other way
the steamers of the Canadian Pacific
The great increase of shipping to and
from the orient is said to make such a
fleet necessity. Mr.. Hill is reported
as saying that last year he was obliged
to refuse large quantities of cotton,
steel and other articles, because he
could not get vessels to carry them
across the Pacific. American trade
with the far east has developed greatly
during the last year or two. In 1895
the exports from the United States to
Japan were $4,633, 900. In 1898 they
had increased to $2O,O33, 975, and the
increase with China has made about
the same strides.

The opposition press has been and
still is doing everything it can to cause
the impression that enlistments for the
volunteer regiments provided by the
army reorganization bill of last March
are failure, but such is not the case.
On Wednesday night the ten regiments
which &re being raised, lacked only
about 1, 800 of their full quota, and it is
expected to haye these men in the course
of another day or two. Only three of
the regiments are short of men. Most
excellent progress has been made when
it is taken into consideration that the
work of recruiting for these regiments
did not commence until July 10th, and
the work has been carried on right in
the midst of the busiest season of the
year, when all kinds of help is receiv-
ing the best of prices. The recruiting
officers state that sentiment all over the
country strongly supports the enlisting
of men for the Philippines and that
there is strong sentiment everywhere
favoring the prosecution of the war.
This will doubtless prove cold comfort
to the opposition that is trying to dis
credit the administration, because of
the war and telling how unpopular it is
with the people.

He was forty whine years of age and " as
born in jackson, Ohio. He was one of a
party of a hundred people who emf
grated to South Bend, arriving in May,
1856, and landing there from steamer
which they took at Cincinnati, making
the trip entirely by water. He
lived in South Bend until eight years

is survived by a wife and one son,
Thomas, and two daughters, Miss
Annie Jones, of this city, and Mrs. H.

1t is estimated that 1000, 600 bushels

1t is estimated that 2,0O0,0 900 bushels
of wheat was destroyed by hail Thurs
day forenoon in North Dakota. Later
reports show that the storm was much
more destructive than at first reported.
1t is said the loss covers fully 1875, 900
acres and will reach fully so per cent.
Insurance men state that not per cent
of the acreage was covered by hail in
surance. The loss seems doubly hard
as the farmers were in the midst of har-
vest. Many farmers drove right to the
barns with their binders as they saw
the storm coming, but had no occasion
to return to the fields with their bind
ers, as their crop was total loss.

w. W. Jermane, in his Washington
correspondence to the Minneapolis
Journal says: Some. late statistics Of
the ravages of consumption in the diff
ferent countries of the world are now
available. In Italy 900 deaths in every
10000 are from this disease; in the
Netherlands, $50 in 10000; in Scandi-
navia, 1,O20; in England, LOO; in
France, 1920; in Germany. 1870; in
Russia, 1860; in Switzerland, LILO; and
and IN Belgium, 1890. Since the tuber-
culous congress of last spring, the at
tention Of the medical world has been
focused upon consumption as never be-
fore, and in every important country of
the world leading specialists are at
work trying to discover remedy for
this disease which annually claims more
victims than the plague and is the most
fatal known to the race.

The later reports of the West Indian
hurricane only add to it's horror. A
dispatch from San Juan, Porto Rico,
says that late advices state that 500 per-
sons lost their lives at Ponce and that
great distress prevails along the track
of the storm. The government has or
dered the subsistence department of the
army to render temporary aid, and an
appeal for help has been ,made. At
least half of the people of Porto Rico
are said to subsist on fruits and vege-
tables, and the storm destroyed this
source of support.

DISARMAMENT BY ARBITRATION

w. T. Stead, in writing upon the re-
suits accomplished by the recent peace
congress at The Hague, thus predicts
how disarmament will be brought about:
Disarmament will be reached through
arbitration. Mars was tolerated as
chief justice of Christendom only be-
cause hitherto mankind had to choose
between his arbitrament and none.
The creation of tribunal, which the
Germans insist must be called court,
where impartial judgeswill hear the evil
dence, and decide each case upon its mer-
its affords the opportunity for which the
slowly evolved moral sense of mankind
has been waiting 1t is, perhaps, as
well that the conference put its foot
down heavily upon all efforts to make
war more economical, more humane
and less deadly. War and arbitration
are two competing rivals for the bust
ness Of settling international dis
putes. War is every day becoming
more heavily handicapped by the
intolerable cost of the procedure
and the unwieldy size of its in
struments. War on great scale may
not be quite as impossible as M. Bloch
argues, but there is no doubt that it
tends to become more and more ruin
Gus and more and more difficult every
year. The shrinkage of the world, the
growing intercommunication of states,
the immense complexity of human
society, all tend irresistibly to make
some other system of settling disputes
than war, first necessity of the mod
ern state When that state has proved
itself armies will continue to exist. But
they will only be used after the sane
ton of the tribunal is asked and OBJ
tanned for the vindication of law, or
the maintenance of order, or the de-
st1uetion of some lawless state that re-
fuses to submit to the universal rule,

GUS other organizations. 1t is expected
that they will reach San Francisco in

THE CUBAN CENSUS.

The work of taking the census Of
Cuba is now in progress and it is ex
pected that it will be finished in about
ninety days. This will allow a few
weeks for tabulation before congress
gets settled down to business, so that q
full report can be submitted to that
body for it's information. Not over q
dozen questions are being asked and
these have mostly to do with the agri-
cultural products of the island. 1t
will also show those who desire to re-
tain their Spanish citizenship. Also
the total number of white Cubans and
the total number of blacks. 1t will
also show how many of these can read
and write, and how many are illiterate.
1t is expected by those who are COM
petent to estimate that the census will
show a population of 100000, of
which there will be $500 males over
81 years of age. Of this number it is
estimated that there are $4,000 Span
iards, one-half of whom can read and
the other half are ignorant, Of the
white Cubans it is estimated there are
130. 900, of whom 10000 can read and
write The number of negroes are es-
timated at 10000, of whom 10000 can
read and write. Of course the above is
just an estimate, but as it comes from
one conversant with Cuban affairs, it is
thought to be not far out of the way.
After receiving the information
which the census will reveal it is pro-
bable congress will provide for an cleo
ton to find out the desire of the Cuban
people. Whether or not an education
al qualification will be required is
question just now attracting consider
able interest among the officials at
Washington. If an educational test is
required it will cut the voting popula.
tion down to about 40, 200 and it is be-
ieved that the majority of these will
favor annexation to the United States.
! If no test of the kind is required there
is considerable uncertainty as to what
the decision will be. It is the general
opinion however of those conYersant
with affairs there, that the annexation
sentiment is growing, and that by the
time congress has acted in the matter,
it win be the controlling sentiment of
the islands. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that the United States will relin.
qnish it's hold upon the island, until
conditions are such that stable gov
eminent is established, should the an
nexation sentiment be downed.

Commenting upon the Eau Claire
street railway strike the Lake Crystal
Union closes its paragraph with ''These
are prosperous times" Yes, these are
prosperous times. Everybody is at
work, and wages are good. The Eau
Claire strike was not so much ques-
ton of wages as it was of hours. The
men were working twelve hours day
and they wanted less hours, or if they
continued to work the twelve hours
they thought they ought to have more
pay. The difficulty was settled by the
company granting a ten hour day at
the same wages they were receiving for
twelve hours. Had we been having
free trade, free silver times the men
would doubtless have hesitated long be-
fore striking for less hours as there
would have been plenty of men glad to
have taken their places and worked Is
hours day for the sake of something
for their families That is just the diff
ference between free trade silver times,
and the present, when everybody is busy.
