THIS WEEK IN THE HOUSE.
Anti-Anarchy and Pacific Cable Bills
viii Be Discussed.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-During
the week the house will probably act
on the important bills which the
rules committee decided some time
ago to bring before that body at the
earliest opportunity. These are the
anti-anarchy bill, the Pacific cable bill
and the senate irrigation bill. No
time limit is to be set on the anti
anarchy bill, consideration of which
will be entered upon tomorrow, but
it is not believed it will occupy more
than two days.
A day is to be given to the bill for
the government cable to the Philip
pines and three days to the irrigation
bill. In case the general deficiency
bill, the last of the appropriation
bills, is ready by the last of the week.
the program above outlined may be
interrupted, as appropriation bills
and conferences are to have the right
of way.

AS TO CROP CONDITIONS.
Weather Generally Favorable for
Growth of Vegetation.

LINCOLN, Neb., May 31.-The cli-
mate and crop service bulletin says:
The past week has been warm and
showery. The daily mean tempera-
ture has averaged degrees above
normal in eastern counties and de-
grees in western.
The rainfall has been above nor
NAL IL the southern counties and gen.
orally below in northern. The rain
fall exceeded an inch in most of the
counties south of the Platte river,
and was generally less than half an
inch north of the Platte
The past week has been very favor
able for the growth of vegetation.
Winter wheat has headed nicely, al
though the straw is usually rather
short. Oats have thickened and i'm
proved in condition, especially in
southern counties. Corn planting has
been retarded by the rain, but plant
ing is well advanced and a large per-
centage of the crop is up, showing a
fine stand; corn cultivation has COM
menced. The cutting of alfalfa for
hay has commenced in southwestern
counties, with generally a good crop.

F. Knight, formerly of Tecumseh, but
now a resident of Lincoln, murder
ously assaulted his divorced wife.

and was aiming a third blow at her
heart when his arm was stayed by
Night Captain Ireland of the police
force, who chanced to be passing on
his way home. Jealousy is given as
the cause of the trouble. Knight was

STILL TAXED IN ARMENIA.
Efforts In Washington for Relief of
Nebraskan.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Repre-
sentative Shallenberger called on the
State department regarding matter
concerning Rev. NJ. S. Belian of Riv-
erton, Neb., who is naturalized citi-
zen of this country, formerly a native
of Armenia.
1t appears that under the laws of
that country the inilabintants have
to pay personal tax for the right
to live. Mr.. Belian has brother liv-
ing in Asia Minor, and for the past
ten years, during which time he has
resided in this country, the Turkish
government has been compelling his
brother to pay the tax upon Mr.. Be
lian of Nebraska. Mr.. Shallenberger
asked the secretary of state to look
into the matter and it has been re-
ferred to our consulate at Hudjan,
Asia Minor.

STATE PURE FOOD LAW.
State Commissioner Bassett Wants ii
Amended.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 2.-State
Food Commissioner S. G. Bassett will
make an effort to secure an amend
ment to the present food law when
the next legislature convenes. The
law gives the food commissioner
control only over dairy products and
vinegar. The farmers are said to be
we'll satisfied with the regulation of
the sale Of dairy products. Hereto
fore the grocers have opposed a gen.
eral food law, but now scores of them
express a desire to have such a law
passed for their own protection. Re
tail grocers as we'll as wholesale gro
GERS have been heard from. The ar
gument is used that surrounding
states have pure food law, but Ne
braska, being without such regula-
tions, the state becomes the dumping
ground for adulterated articles. Much
complaint is heard on account of
short weight and measure. One
brand of baking powder which In
Minnesota is sold as substitute or
impure" is sold in Nebraska as
genuine. AS a result of an inspection
by the food commissioner of vinegars
sold in the counties of Gage, Pawnee,
Otoe Richardson and Nemaha, a con-
siderable quantity of vinegar has
been condemned and either destroyed
or reshipped to the parties from
whom it was purchased. The con-
demned vinegar was all from Iowa,
Missouri and Kansas concerns.

TAKES LOOK INTO CRATER.
Prof. ArigeIo Heiiprin Spends Two
Hours on Top of Mount PeIee.

Hours on Top OF Mount Pelee.
FORT DE FRANCE, June 1.-The
National Geographical society has
scored a great triumph. Prof Angelo
Heilprin ascended to the top of the
crater of Mont Pelee yesterday, in
company with two guides and Mr..
Leadbetter. While on the summit sew
eral violent explosions occurred, but
notwithstanding the thousand dangers
surrounding him. Prof. Heilprin
spent long time taking careful OBJ
servations. Looking down the crater
he found a huge cinder cone. The
crater opening is a vast crevasse 500
feet long and $50 feet wide.
While engaged in this task the lives
of the members of the expedition
were continually in danger and one
particularly violent explosion covered
Prof. Heilprin from head to foot with
the viscid matter. He persisted, how
ever, and found, as had been suspect
ed, that there was three separate vents
for the volcanic matter. Meanwhile
Mont Pelee seeming to resent the in
trusiOn of man, belched out huge vol
umes of steam, ashes and boiling hot
mud.

tanned a judgment for $2,160 against
the Bankers Union of the World in
a suit brought to recover under a pol
icy of insurance of $4,000 on the life
of William Bowers, who died about a
year ago. The case was contested on
the grounds that Mr.. Bowers drank to
excess, but the evidence did not show
that he had used liquor to any great
extent.

Wyoming Central Railroad company,
which proposes to build line from
Walcott, on the Union Pacific, to
Grand Encampment via Saratoga, has
asked the city for bonus of $685.
600. If this amount is not forthcom-
ing, the company threatens to pass
the town three miles to the east. A
committee has been appointed to in
terview the people and ascertain
what shall be done.

TERMS OF THE BRITISH.
Said to Have Been Voted Unanimous
" bY soer REPRESENTATIVES..

LONDON, June 2.-The Daily Mail s
Pretoria correspondent, under date of
June /, says: The acceptance of the
British terms was voted unanimously
by the Boer representatives. The Brit
ish government absolutely rejected the
proposal by the Beers that the terms
of peace should be submitted for rati
fication to Kruger and the Boer rep
resentatives in Holland, hence no no
tice whatever has been or will be
taken of the Beers in Holland. The
terms will show that the British gov
ernment has carried its contentious on
every minor point, while minor con-
cessions, particularly in regard to
generous financial treatment, will
greatly appeal to the Beers in gen
eral.
The Morning Express Brussels cor
respondent under date Of June 1 says:
Kruger was notified at 9 o'clock that
peace had been concluded. He eX-
claimed, MY God, it is impossible"
Nothing has yet been allowed to
transpire which could be taken as re-
liable indication of the exact terms of
the peace settlement. Only one Lon
don paper pretends to have any definite
information on the subject, this being
the Express, which says the terms are:
l. Surrender of arms.
2. Breakers of laws of warfare to
throw themselves on the kings elem
ency.
3. Banishment to be imperative.
4. Burghers to get back their farms.
5. Some Boer leaders to be employ
ed in new administration.
6. British government to meet war
debt.
Z. Beers to have adequate repre-
sentation and a share of local govern
ment

itentiary Gets Away.
VALENTINE, Neb., June 2.-The
jury returned a verdict finding Har-
mon Cchwaberow guilty of grand lar
ceny. In the afternoon a sentence of
five years in the penitentiary was i'm
posed by Judge Harrington. During
an evening session of court the sher-
iff came rushing into court with the
announcement that the convited man
had broken Jail. Couriers are now
securing the country in every direc-

crossed the line and is upon the
Sioux reservation in Dakota or is ly-
ing concealed in some nearby canyon.
He is said to be a desperate char
acter, aged forty-one years, six feet
tall, weight two hundred pounds, very
dark complexion. In 1898 he was SEN
fenced to a five years term in the,
Nebraska penitentiary for cattle steal
ing, but was pardoned out about two

FOR BOERS
THE TERMS OF SURRENDER FL
NALLY AGREED UPON.
SIGNED BY BOTH CONTESTANTS
Curtain Finally Rune Down on Pro-
longed Drama of War in Trans
vaaI-London is Unrestrained in
Its Delight.

LONDON, June 2.-(New York
World Cablegram): London burst
into wild rejoicing when the signing of
the terms of peace became public.
They were rejoicings of relief, not of
triumph, but soon the Mafeking spirit
began to assert itself and within half
an hour after the announcement union
jacks fiuttered from street cars and
house windows and noisy gangs of
young men and women paraded the
streets, blowing penny trumpets, yell
ing patriotic songs and otherwise
liberating their long pentup feelings.
But for a sudden deluge of rain which
acted as a damper, the orgy of Ma
feking night would certainly have
been repeated. Even as it was, when
the rain cleared, the streets again be-
came thronged with roudy demon
strators, and the infection of their
enthusiasm spread to the clubs and
restaurants where the conclusion of
peace was generally toasted and man
ifestations alike unG.gnifed and alb
surd were freely INDUCED in. When
darkness fell, the illuminations, re-
naming since the celebration of the
kings birthday, were lit, rockets were
sent up and the crowds cheered them
selves hoarse along the sidewalks un
til late hour.
Much speculation is caused as to
why the announcement was made on
Sunday instead of being reserved for
the house of commons today, and the
explanation is suggested that the min
istry is desirous that the rejoicings
should go off at half cock, because
when the full terms became known
they would show that there is little
to crow over, while the situation in
Cape Colony over the agitation for the
repeal of the constitution is fraught
with the gravest peril. The terms are
expected to be announced in parlia-
ment today, probably IN the form of
a message from the king. who desires
credit for forcing the settlement.
1t is understood that the Beers will
be permitted to keep their rifles and
limited quantity of ammunition on
swearing allegiance. They will be
promised atonomy within a brief
period, their farms are to be rebuilt,
and re-stocked, and prisoners will be
repatriated within a stated time on
condition that they take the oath of
allegiance. 1t is also stated that the
British government Will make a grant
to the Beers who prefer to start again
in another country, including the Brit
ish colonies.
The king has issued the following
message to the nation:
The king has received the welcome
news of a cessation of hostilities in
South Africa with infinite satisfaction
and trusts that peace may be speed
lily followed by a restoration of pros
perity in his new dominions and that
feelings necessarily engendered by the
war will give place to the earnest CO.
operation OF all his majesty's South
African subjects in promoting the
welfare of their common country.
