DIETRICH ...MIL[ARD
The New United States Senators
From Nebraska.
CHOSEN By (AU(US.-ltOION FOLLOWS


Governor G. II. Dietrich and j. Fl.
Millard were elected United States
senators by the Nebraska legislature
March 2s, as the result of q political
transformation such as had never bee n
heard of in Nebraska. IL took place
on the last legislative day of the ses-
sion just when almost every one had
despaired of choice. For nearly three
months the politicians of the state
wrestled with the problem OF breaking
the senatorial deadlock but all sides
refused to listen to the pleadings OF
the friends or the threats Of foes. The
state and national committees had
tried in vain.
Early in the morning the anti
thompson memoers of the legislature
met and decided to vote for an ad-
journment of the joint convention af-
ter the first ballot if the candidates
continued to stand in the way of a
settldment.
OThe edict meant the withdrawal Of
ID. +. Thompson or no election and
he chose the former. The agreement
upon new candidates was effected in
an adjourned meeting of the short eau
Gus held at the Lindell hotel at 9
o'clock in the morning. News Of the
change in the situation soon reached
the Legislative halls. where it was re-
ceived with rejoicing, and in an incred-
ioiy short time the acrimony that had
begun to be shown between contend
ing factions had almost wholly disap-
peared.
Representative Mendenhall who had
been with the anti-Thonpton members
almost from the start LETT his fellow
members in the morning and signed
the short caucus call. Crounse and
Martin who had never signed the call
or participated in the caucus went in
for the first time this morning and re-
mained to the end.
Senator Currie of Custer, one of the
candidates, first withdrew in favor of
Senator Crounse. ID. e. Thompson
soon entered the caucus and withdrew
in favor of Governor Dietrich. This
nomination was speedily made and
that of j. II. Millard followed.

to the caucus after the with
withdrawal Of Mr.. Thompson and par
ticipated in the deliberations, Mr..
Rosewater also withdrew and request
ed his men to vote for George w. Lin
niger, but his suggestion was not fav-
orably received by the caucus and the
tide began to turn toward Mr.. Millard
who was also receiving the personal
support of Mr.. Thompson. Mr.. Rose
water at one time withdre w his men
from the caucus, but later he reques
ed them to support Mr.. Millard and
the nomination was easily made. The
Crounse boom in the caucus at one
time promised to place him in one of the
senatorial seats, but Rosewater and
one or two other candidates would not
assist. This in short is the story of
the lightning-like change in the polit-
ical history of the state.

PLEADS FOR SON
Mother Asks Mercy Of Court in
Case Against Allen.
PRISONER WAS tOnvItTfD OF PERJURY


There was rather q dramatic scene
N the district court room at Platts-
mouth when George w. Allen, con-
victed Of forgery, was sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary for his crime.
Aliens mother made an earnest plea
for the prisoner. With that affection
which only mother can feel towards
her son, she stated that she had come
oil the way from Canton, o., TO implore
the court to be lenient in passing
sentence upon her boy, and, IL possible,
to save him from going to prison. She
had not progressed far with her re-
marks when she broke down COM
pletely and had to resume her seat. II
was an affecting scene and brought
tears to many eyes.
In passing sentence Judge Jessen
stated that he considered perjury a
very grave crime; that IL was as easy
for man to go on the witness stand
and, by swearing falsely, place an in
nocent person in the clutches Of the
law, rs 1t would be to keep a guilty
person out OF the penitentiary. The
court thought Allen was the victim Of
evil associates and had been lured
away from the straight and narrow
path. A motion for new trial was
overruled.
Allen was the principal witness in
the Holmes brass stealing case, tried
at the last term of court and, by giving
false testimony, was very instrumental
In securing the acquittal Of the pris-

MUST RECOGNIZE UNION
President Of Miners Thinks OPERATOR
Can Afford To.

John Mitchell of the united mine
workers gave an interview in New
York concerning statement made in
Wall street to the effect that the coal
operators could not accede recognition
to the union since they considered II
unbusinesslike to bind themselves to
body who Sc leaders could not make any
agreement that would be legally bind
ing upon the miners. Mr.. Mitchell
said:
"Such an objection cannot consist.
emily be made to recognition of our
union by the operators. They have
been, and are now, treating with labor
organizations whose responsibility IL
is no greater, If as great. as that OF
the miners. In the light Of these pre-.
cedents the operators cannot stand be-
fore the public consistently in refuse
to recognize our union"

Capture Of Aguinsido - Death Blow u
the Rebellion.

the HebeIiOn.
A Manila dispatch says: When Agui
naldo was captured he wore q plain
blue suit, with the coat closely but.
toned TO the throat, and a wide white
helmet with leather band. He takes
his capture philosophically. He is gen.
orally cheerful, but sometimes moody.
His health, during the past year, ha,
been good. 1t is uncertain what atti.
tudc he will now assume. Certain Wis.
itors are permitted TO see Aguinaldo,
but newspaper interviews with the
prisoner are not allowed.
Since Aguinaldo has been domiciled
at the Malacanan palace persons no,
provided with special permits have
been denied admission to the grounds.
General Trias, the commander of the
insurgent forces In southern Luzon,
who recently surrendered to the Amer.
leans, visited Aguinaldo and told the
latter why he surrendered. Trias said
that continuance of armed opposi-
tion to the United States was unjusti-
fable and ruinous; that the indepen.
dence of the Philippines was impossi-
bic and that the Filipinos would bet.
ter accomplish liberty, prosperity and
progress under American rule.
The capture of Aguinaldo, following
the surrender of General Trias, will
probably cause the surrender of Mala.
can Bellarmino in Albay and Lucuban
in Samar within month.

General and Mrs. Funston ON the Gale

Arab Pasha was the man who
headed the revolt against foreign con.
troll in Egypt in 1882. He was taken
prisoner by the English and banished
10 Ceylon. In the eighteen years OF
his captivity his name has been almost
forgotten. II is said that he will soon
be liberated, and that he will return
10 his native country. Conditions
political and other, have undergone
great changes for the better in Egypt
since 1882, and the British government
runs no risk now in setting him free.
He has given no trouble while in ex.
lie, and will return, an old man, to
happier and more prosperous Egypt
than he has ever known, or than the
success OF his political enterprise
could have known.

Fred Funston.
General Aguinaldo, leader of the
Philippine army, and president Of the
Philippine republic, was captured in
his hiding place in the province Of Isa-
ella, island of Luzon, by Frederick
Funston and a band of picked Ameri.
cans and native scouts. The capture
was effected by strategy. General
Funston had learned of the hiding
place Of the noted Filipino, and secured
permission to head small scouting
party to go to it and capture him. He
selected his men, and with a number
OF Macabebe scouts he started on his
perilous mission. His plan was to make
1t appear that he and his American
comrades were prisoners of the scouts,
being led to the Filipino general, and
that on being led into Aguinaldo's
presence they would seize him. The
plan worked, and Aguinaldo is now a
prisoner in Manila. Funston is the
hero of the hour and can see briga-
dier generalship in the regular army
coming to him as reward for his
daring.

The United states May Cut small Figur,
in China.
While attention has been centered
upon the crisis connected with the
Manchurian agreement, an entirely
new and important phase Of the Chi
nese question has been presented by
the action of the ministers at Pekin,
In agreeing to submit to their various
governments whether articles eight
and nine of the Chinese protocol shall
be carried out by the military authori'
ties Of all the powers who are continu.
ing to take part in the application OF
these articles. The action Of the min.
listers has been communicated to sev,
eral Of the foreign embassies and lega.
tions here, and doubtless Mr.. Rockhill
has made, or will make known, the
some facts. The articles in question
are as follows:
ARTICLE 8. The destruction OF the
forts which might obstruct free com
munication between Pekin and the sea.
"Article 9. The right to maintain
occupation of certain points, to be de-
termined by an understanding among
the powers, in order to obtain open
communication between Pekin and the
sea-"
These two questions appear to in
volve territorial affairs and IL may be.
come Of considerable moment whether
the determination Of such affairs Is to
be left to the military authorities OF
all the powers or with such powers as
continue their military forces in China.
In the latter case the Uuited States
may quietly but effectually be deprived
Of all voice in the settlement Of SO
much Of the Chinese question as re.
lates to the determination Of the
strength of the military forces to be
continued there in the futue. II also
is possible that an Affirmative decision
by the powers which would exclude
the United States from participation in
the discussion on this important point
might be extended to put us out OF
China altogether.

rawhide by their lawful guardians.

of the nine is now leading an exem-

into a hero,-to other hoodlums, of
course and In Jail he acquires new
knowledge Of vice, so that he is better
prepared and more determined. when

courses. But the boy who is whipped
