said that he had done so at the request
OF the BARRIERS themselves, and he be-
heved SO per cent of them wanted the
bill passed.
The principal incident of the discus
sion occurred when Mr.. Grattan crltl-
clsed Mr.. Harris and Mr. Hefey. MI

floor of the house the same as if they
were lawyers opposing him in a case
mo mirth-maker,'' he said referring
to the amendments offered by Mr.. Har-
ris, has right to sit in legislative
body. The opinion of a clown is not
worth fig. We owe the BARRIERS OF the
state the courtesy of at least consider
ing the bill they have asked US to pass.
At this point Mr.. Hefiey Interrupted
him with, VIII the gentleman from
Mcpherson submit to a question:?
IF it is a pertinent one 1 will" an
swered Mr.. Grattan.
do you think the BARRIERS themselves
would know their bill by the time this
house gets through amending 1t?'
From a BARRIERS standpoint I would
say yes said Mr.. Grattan; from your
standpoint, no. You do not know
enough to be a barber. You would do
better as a blacksmith" Mr.. Grattan
pointed directly at Mr.. Hef1ey as he
said this.
personal explanation. 1.-The gentleman
from MCPHERSON he said, has re
feIred to the matter of courtesy. 1 am
glad he has done so-he has such fine,
ton which l desire to make is this:
When l was a small boy [ had an in
tense desire to follow a certain pro-
fession. My mother would not hear to
it, however, and was not permitted to
do so. l have always regretted it until
today, but since I have heard the gen
tleman from Mcpherson speak am
very thankful that she did not allow me
to follow my inclinationS and become
lawyer"
This retort called forth applause from
both sides of the house in which Mr..
Grattan Joined heartily
The motion to strike out the enacting
clause of the bill was voted down and
the house began to consider it section
by section. The first section was amend
ed so that it would not apply to country
districts where there is no registered
barber and where some one occasionally
shaved people as an accommodation.
An amendment was also inserted fixing
a maximum rate for shaves at 10 cents
and for hair cuts at 25 cents, but Mr..
Brooke said he did not believe the Re
pubhcanS were ready to declare for
maximum rates yet, and the amend
ment was afterwards stricken out.
At 6:15 only two sections of the eigh-
teen contained in the bill had been con-
sidered and it was voted to leave it
over until the next meeting of the COM
mittee of the whole house.

SENATE TAKES A STAND
In Regard to the Future of the
Philippine Islands.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE McEnery
resolution was passed by the senate to-
day by a vote of &c to %.
The resolution is as follows:
THAT by the ratification of the treaty
of peace with Spain it is not intended to
incorporate the inhabitants of the Phil
ippines into citizenship of the United
States, nor is it intended to permanent
ly annex said islands as an integral
part of the territory of the United
States; but it is the intention of the
United States to establish on said is
lands a government suitable to the
wants and conditions of the inha bitantS
of said islands to prepare them for self
government and in due time to make
such disposition of said islands as will
best promote the interests of-the citi-
zens of the United States and the in
habitantS of said islands,

GERMANY CRIES OUT
Against the Condition of Her Trade
With the United States.

Berlin. Feb 14.-In last Saturdays
debate in the reichstag, upon the inter
pellatiOn of Count Won KanitZ. the
agrarian leader, regarding the CONNER
cial relations between the United States
and Germany, Count Posadowsky-
Weihner, imperial secretary of state for
the interior, made singularly able and
lucid statement of the development OF
the trade of the United States with
Europe, accompanying this with detail
ed statistics.
Dealing particularly with the trade
between the United States and Ger
many, Count Posadowsky- WE elmer said
he thought the extraordinary increase
in Americas exports was due to prOtec-
ton but also to the Industrial produc-
tivity of the United States, which was
rapidly becoming a great industrial as
we'll a great agricultural country.
He made a comparison between the
years of 1890 and 1898, showing a note
worthy dhninution of agricultural ex-
ports and a large increase in industrial
exports. The agrarians, he said, might
perhaps welcome these figures but the
reverse of the picture was that the
American imports of foreign manufac-
lures had materially declined. Quoting
further statistical comparisons for the
same years of Americas trade with
the various countries OF Europe, he said
that Germany'S case was worse than
England'S since the latter chiefly i'm
ported cereals, cotton and raw material.
Germany, he continued. was already be-
ginning to be seriously affected by
"A
illustrations he cited the textile, iron
and steel and shoemaking industries. In
the first eight months of the financial
year 97-9S, no less than a third of the
whole bicycle export from America was
destined for the German market. This,
he commended, was due to the fact that
extreme protection not only sustained
the prices of bicycles in the United
States but also artificially stimulated
the bicycle industry there; and when
the crisis came the superf1uous produc-
ton was thrown on the German market
at reduced prices.
Count POsadOwsky-W eihner main
tanned that the fact of a reputation by
the United States congress of an inter-
probation of the act of 1912, which Aus
tria had challenged as infringing on ar
ticIe 8 of her treaty of 1929 with the
United States was an excellent preced-
| ent for Germany to claim the most
| favored nation treatment in the widest
| sense.
In concluding his speech he estimated
| that American exports to Germany in
| 1899 would be found to have amounted
| to 1852, SOC, 900 marks, while American i'm
| ports from Germany were known to
| have declined to 344 .OOO,O 900 marks-a
| state of affairs warranting the govern
| ment in asking that the treaty of 1928
| should be enforced in a spirit of fair
| ness.

ZERO AT JACKSONVILLE.
Everything in the Way of Fruit and
Vegetables Killed.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. photographic
communication to Florida has been kept
up spasmodically only the past two
days, all wires being down south of
Jacksonville. The Associated Press to-
day secured a wire to Pensacola for a
few minutes and ascertained that the
coolest weather ever known had just
passed over the northern part of Flor
ida. The zero mark was reached at
Pensacola yesterday and today at noon
the moderation has amounted to only
IS degrees. At Defuniak Springs it was
above at noon today.
Savannah today received word from
Jacksonville by train that the whole
state of Florida was suffering the worst
blizzard ever known. It's consequences
can not be ascertained for tWenty-fOur
hours, but the damages to oranges is
believed to have been widespread
Everything in the way of fruit or vege-
tables in the vicinity of Jacksonville
was killed last night, and if the weather
mans predictions for last night came
true the loss to pine apples and oranges
in the southern part of the state is
enormous.
Throughout Georgia the early vegeta-
bles have been killed and the peach crop
and other fruits almost entirely de-
StrOyed.

MUCH FIGHTING AHEAD.
Aguinaldo is Massing His Forces
at Polo.

New York, Feb. IA Herald dis
patch from Manila says:
General Otis said to the Herald cor
respondent: The situation is excellent
now. A few days ago F'ilipinos under
Kapunan and Doloman came down the
river strong on the TOndo district in
the rear of Gen. MacArthur's division.
At that time the situation was alarm
ing. 1 ordered an attack on CalOocan.
The order was to clear out the enemy
at least in front, we would not be
taken between the Filipino army and
the forces of Kapunan and Doloman.
"Aguinaldo is collecting forces some
where near Polo. His present estimated
strength is 80 900. How many more he
tell, perchance as many as 1900. The
more he brings together the more salts
fled we will be, for we would rather
have him attack US than to have to
hunt for him.
General Anderson, commanding the
first division said: General Otis in
congratUiating me on behalf of the
first division, said there were 5000 Fill
pinos opposed to my division and that
we cleared out 5000 of them.
Il think we shall have to give them
another good licking"
General Macarthur said: 1.-The militia
ry situation is excellent in the vicinity
of Manila. We have obtained decided
strategical advantages.
There are remote consequences which
however depend quite much upon
craftsmanship as generalship.
'Misapprehension as to the terms of
the treaty of peace with Spain growing
out of difference in language and the
previous political evolution of the is
lands, make the diplomacy of the stu
alton of the very first Importance. Here
tOfOre our policy has been cOnsidera bly,
embarrassed by the long delay in reach
ing results. Under the treaty now we
are approaching the conclusion that the
future conduct of affairs will be much
easier and it is believed the war will be
concluded with honor and credit to the
United States and to the permanent
benefit of the people of the islands. The
most prominent English business men
here say that the Filipinos received a
| severe lesson during last week Were
it not that their military leaders are
men who know they must lose all pow
er once the fighting is over and conse-
quently are deluding the natives into
the belief that they have got the best
of the recent fighting, these English
men do not think there would be much
trouble in bringing the Filipino gov
eminent to terms.
''In the opinion of English observers
the campaign should be carried on en-
ergeticallY.'

BIKE WAREHOUSE BURNS.
Loss Figures Well Up Toward Mil
lion Dollars.

Chicago Feb. 14.-Frozen water plugs
prevented the fire department getting
stream on flames that broke out in the
big seven story brick warehouse at 20
to "a West Water street today and re-
suited in great damage. The fire start
ed in the basement at the rear of the
building and the flames shot up to the
floors above quickly and flashed out of
the second story windows before an
alarm was turned in.
Owing to the heroic efforts of Eddie
Lowe, an office boy, several people were
saved from being burned to death. The
lad ran from floor to floor and spread
the alarm and not until he saw that
every one had made good his escape did
the boy leave the structure.
The building was owned by the Man
ufacturers' & Merchants Warehouse
company and much of it's space was
rented to bicycle firms who will lose
heavily.
The building was packed from base
ment to roof with goods, the value of
which cannot be estimated as they
came from hundred quarters. The
loss on the building is placed at $25, 900
and that of the contents anywhere be-
tween $3.50, 900 and 81, 100000
1t is said that five or six people have
persisted in the flames but this has not
Vet been verified.

CITY OFFICERS APPo1NT1vE.
The House Begins to Undo the Work
of the Special Session.

This legislature has begun to undo
some of the things done by the special
session. The house committee of the
whole has recommended for passage the
bill to make the marshal, clerk, street
commissioner and city attorney and
city assessor appointive in cities of the
second and third classes. The 1egisla-
ture of two years ago passed law
making the marshal, clerk and street
commissioner elective, and the special
session completed the list by adding the
city attorney and city assessor to it.
The bill repeating these provisions
was prepared by the committee on cit
les of the second class. 1t makes the
entire list appointive by the mayor, to
be confirmed by the city council, the
same as it was two years ago before
any change was made at all.
There was little opposition to the
change in the house committee of the
whole. 1t was declared that as the law
is at present the mayor and other city
officers were sometimes at loggerheads
about the enforcement of the laws, and
trouble resulted. Again it was stated
that the marshal, when elected directly
by the people, would not enforce the
laws when it interfered with his chan
ces of reelection.
Ar. Marks of Jefferson attempted to
keep the cities of the third class under
the present law, but he was unsuccess-
full.

THE OMAHA BEES CHARGES
Against Nebraska's State Auditor
Lead to an Investigation.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 14-When the
legislature convened this morning a
message from the governor was read in
both houses. 1t referred to the charges
of corruption in the state auditors office
made by the Omaha Bee and asked
that a joint committee of the two
houses be appointed to investigate them
in order that if guilt was esta bIished
the proper parties might be punished
and if the charges were not true the
auditor might be indicated.
Both houses promptly adopted the
governors suggestion and a committee
was appointed which will Immediately
take up the work. The charges were
that the state auditor J. F. Cornell
through the medium of the insurance
examiners of his office, had been guilty
of holding up insurance companies by
charging excessive fees for examina-
tons

Has GONE ON NORTHwARD.
The Storm Is Sweeping Over Nova
Scotia Today.

Washington, Feb. 14-Specia1 Bulle-
tin: The great Atlantic coast storm
has passed on to the Novia Scotia coast
with rapid velocity and almost unprece-
dented development. At w Gods Hole.
Mass, or Monday night at p. m, the
barometer read 1856 inches, a fall of
one inch in twelve hours; at Nan
tucket at midnight the reading was
IS Sc inches, and this morning at Hall
fax IS 80. inches.
Owing to the extent and extreme de-
structiveness, this storm will always be
remembered as the greatest snowstorTn
in the history of the Atlantic coast
states, and was most remarkable for
the perfect com binatiOn of the cond1-
tionS necessary to produce such results
An abnormally high barOmetric area
accompanied by a severe cold wave was
moving southeastward to the gulf
states and a disturbance was develop
ing on its southeastern edge. The re-
suit was Inevitable, and as rapidly as
possible widespread warnings were dis
states of impending severe freezing
weather on the coasts Saturday night
the warnings were extended to Florida,
but both were further supplemented on
Sunday morning by additional and
more positive warnings. NOrther warn
ings were also sent on Monday to Hav-
ana and the Bahamas.
Clearing weather has rapidly fol-
lowed this storm and this morning 1t IS
cold and clear IN the Atlantic region
except New England and eastern New
York, where the clouds still remain. An
area of low pressure is approaching
from the west and under it's influence
the temperature will be generally rising
after Wednesday morning east of the
Alleghanies. They are rising today in
the central valleys and entire west.
