NEBRASKA DIVORCE LAW.
Remarry Inside of Six n oatns, Even
in Another State.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 2e.-Marriages
contracted within six months after
one of the parties thereto has been
divorced are invalid in Nebraska, ac-
cording to a decision rendered by the
supreme court of the state. The
statute concerning divorce specifically
prohibits remarriage within a period
of six months, but it has been a com.
mon practice for divorced persons, a
short time after the granting of the
decree, to journey to an adjoining
state and there contract a new mar
rage. This practice the court frowns
on and denounces as a direct violation
of the law.

to survey and report upon the tunnel
ing OF the Cordilleras and the construC.
ton Of an Isthmian canal ct Darien.
Mr.. Dubois Ia rising to question oil
personal privilege, had read dispatch
setting forth adverse criticism by Gen.
Wheaton and others at Manila to the
SeDate's minority report on the Philip
pine tariff bill and Prof. Shurmsn's
speech at Boston. He declared that
the President should reprimand Gen.
Wheaton. he believed that sUoh crit-
cisns OF the a)tion OF Senators wss
outrageous and indecent.
Mr.. Teller said it seemed as II the
people of the United States were not
only to have their mouths padlocked,
but that the Senators must preserve
silence upon subjects affecting the
Philippines. he did not doubt but
that II some Senator should read the
Declaration OF Independence In open
session, some member on the other
side OF the chamber would characterize
the act as one tending to incite rebel
lion.
After further remarks by Messrs.
Lodge, Rawlins, Teller, Carmack and
Tillmsn, Mr.. Hoar said he thought
this case net one to receive the atten-
ton OF the Senate. 1t was one, he be-
lieved, for the al tsntion OF the Presi-
dent, who, he believed, would act
promptly If it were found that General
