A QUESTION OF AMNESTY.

Omaha Bee: The president ant
cabinet have had under con
%sideration the question of. am
nesty for American prisoners il
Cuba. After the Cuban government is
established there will be no pardon
ing power under our constitution
which a avail to release these pris.
oners, who were tried and convicted
in courts provided by the temporary
American government and undoubted.
ly they would be left to serve out
their full sentences, which it is
thought would in many cases result
in death long before the expiration
of. the terms for whichshey were SEN
fenced.
The attention of the president. was
directed to this matter through the
appeal made in behalf Of Rathbone,
convicted of embezzling postal funds
in Cuba, and whose friends are en-
deavoring to secure for him execu-
tive clemency. OF course if anything
should be done for 'Rathbone the 9th
ers convicted of a like offense. would.
have a just claim to consideration.
One proposition is that all the Amer
lean prisoners in Cuba shall be grant
ed amnesty during their good behav-
Tor in the future, which would of
course mean their permanent re-
lease. 1t is not easy to say how pub
lie opinion would regard such leni-
ency to those offenders. There has
been no feeling of sympathy for them
here outside the circle of their per-
sonal friends. The general sentiment
has been that their criminal conduct,
their base betrayal of the trust repos-
ed in them, was punished none too
severely. The efforts that have been
made to secure clemency for Rath-
bone, who was at the head of the Gu
ban postal service, have not been gen.
orally approved. It is>very question
able, therefore, whether American
sentiment would be found fav-
orable to amnesty to these prisoners.
unless their release should be entire
" satisfactory to the Cuban authori-
ties. Perhaps an arrangement might
be made with them to reduce the
terms of Imprisonment say one-half,
and to this there could be no serious
but their release now could |
not easily be justified and it is i'm
probable that the administration will
adopt the amnesty proposition. In
case of Rathbone the president
las directed the secretary of wal to
confer upon the Cuban court of ap-
oeals the right to review the testi-
nony and this is probably as far as
le will go.

EXPECTS DEFEAT.
Hill Said to Be Making Plans on That
Basis. i

Basis.
Chicago, May 13.-The Washington
correspondent of the Record-Herald
says: James j. Hill, the railroad
king, is quoted as expressing the be-
lief that the Northern Securities CON-
pany will lose the case brought
against it by the government, and he
is preparing a line of retreat. His
legal advisers are reported to have
informed him that the federal suits
will probably be successful and he
therefore must arrange the business
of the three railroads involved SO that
no great damage will be done these
properties.
According to close friends of Mr..
Hill, who have recently talked with
the great railway manager, it is pro.
posed to make the Burlington system
the chief one of the three great. rail-
roads. Last winter the Iowa legis-
lature passed a law under which the
Dull IOA 6CIo a AOW CudILCI. AuO
Burlington will not attempt to absorb
the Great Northern or Northern Pa
ciic, but the last two will work as
closely under the direction of the
mother system as the charter and the
laws of the states will permit. The
brains of the management of the three
great lines will be vested in the gen
eral officers of the Burlington, and
the policies and officers of the other
lines will be under the control of the
officers of that system. Said the au.
thority:
chill will prepare for the great bat
tie which he considers inevitable be-
tween the great transcontinental lines
of the south and those of the north.
In other words, for a war to the death
between the Hill and Hartman com.
bines. Hill wants to be in position
to make a big fight for the southern
and southwestern business for his
lines, and to divert much of this traf-
fic to the northern transcontinental

Lewis Nixon is known as an honest
man and a gentleman, consequently
the surprise expressed at his accept
ance of the leadership of Tammany
when Boss Croker abdicated and went
to England to acquire a reputation
was great and universal. Now comes
Mr. Nixon and re-establishes himself
in the opinion of the people who know
him and says he cannot serve in the
position that in a moment of forget
fulness he was induced to accept. He
puts it very plainly and declares that
to remain at the head of the rotten
political organization any longer
would compel him to lose his self-re-
spect and that as an honest man he
is forced to resign. With a little more
light the gentleman may become a re-
publican. At least there is hope for
him.

Neither can the president enter
any foreign embassy or legation, for
in Washington the official resi-.
dences Of foreign representatives
are rs much foreign territory as if
they we're situated in foreign coun.
tries. They are exempt from tax
alton and immune from our legal
processes.
Neither can the president 60

it is explained had its origin in the
precaution against a possible plot
to abduct the executive President
Arthur, however, once accepted an
invitation to lunch on foreign
warship at Newport.
A president may not make a form
al call attired in ceremonial dress
upon any one except a president
elect, an ex-president, a president Of
a foreign state, or a reigning mon
arch visiting here. This, however,
does not debar informal calls on
whomsoever he pleases.
He may not receive any but in

the most urgent reasons are accepted
as excuses for so doing.
State receptions or dinners are
not held during Lent. This rule
originated with Washington, who
was a communicate of the Episco-
pal church, and is probably a relic
of England's religious influence.
A president may never pay a first
call except on the arrival of the head
of foreign state in Washington. A
crowned prince is beneath him in
rank and must be first to make the
social advance.
