Eashington, June 27.--A caucus of the
\pcratc members of the House of
entatives was held tonight, adopt
following resolution:
we'd first, That we condemn the
IAN majority in Congress for
az failure to pass a measure provid-
reciprocity with Cuba.
THE bill which passed the House of
Representatives was heartily supported
by the Democratic minority as the pro-
lection to the sugar trust had been re-
moved by the solid Democratic vote,
4 aided by a small minority of the Repub-
iican members. AS it passed the House
the bill carried relief to Cuba, reduced
the price of sugar to American coqsum-
ers and struck a heavy blow at the no.
torious and obnoxious Sugar Trust. The
refusal of the Republican Senators to
consider this measure unless the protec-
ton to the Sugar Trust should be re-
Istored gives evidence that the President

YULETIOE IN AUSTRIA.
Customs and Legends of the Nom
German Population.

German Population.
Yuletide as kept by the non-German
population of Austria is very pictur-
esque. On Christmas day the Poles in
Galicia first attend mass and then sit
down to family supper. The chief dish
ON the table contains consecrated eggs,
which the father distributes. After eat
ing, all eyes are closed and all heads
bowed down to the table in the belief
that Jacobs ladder Is then descending
from heaven to earth and down the
ladder angels are coming to bless the
wOrshipers and to carry away their
Czechs the legend runs that he who
most strictly fasts on Christmas eve
will see the holy Christ in his dreams
that night. In the evening the real eel
ebration begins. All lights are then
e1tinguished in the house; no fire, no
light Is visible The children crowd to-
gether in fear and remain perfectly ST.
lent, as otherwise they know they will
receive none Of the presents brought
by the Christ Child and laid at the en-
trance Of the house. The older fe-
males amuse themselves by throwing
heated lead into water and gathering
from the forms 1t assumes some hint
as to the appearance of their future
misunderstanding Dispatch

their strange pictures of snow scenes,

not without its compensating advan-

Special Agent of Interior Depart
ment Investigates Conditions In
sidney and Alliance
Districts.

SIDNEY, Neb., Aug. 16.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Colonel John s. Mosby, special
agent Of the general land ONCE, reached
here today to investigate the promiscuous
fencing of the public lands.
In an address before the cattlemen Of
western Nebraska a short time ago. held at
Alliance. Sam Delatour, president Of the
Stock association, said that over 5000, 900
acres Of public lands were now fenced In
Sidney and Alliance districts, and he, Della
tour. thought It would be a great calamity
to pull down the fences. Resolutions were
also passed by the meeting and forwarded
to Washington. In the meantime, over 100
complaints were filed with the department
against the cattlemen. This led the de-
partment to institute an investigation and
ascertain the truth Of President Delatour's
statements.
Colonel Mosby proposes to notify all par
ties within sixty days or suffer the penalty
imposed. namely. $1,000 fine and twelve
months imprisonment, besides issuing in
structions to the United States marshal to
destroy the fences.
Last year Colonel Mosby worked in east
ern Colorado. and found large tracts fenced,
and he compelled the cattlemen to remove
the fences from public lands. The Interior
department proposes q vigorous compaign
against the fencing public lands on account
Of the detriment to settlers.
