POSER FROM TEXAS.
Ex-Governor HOgg and His "Stunt"
Anent the
Nebraska State Journal.

Nebraska State Journal.
Ex-Governor Hogg, OF Texas, is in Lon
don making a very large and impressive
pose. He applied for a seat at the coro-
nation of King Edward. Being informed
afterwards that his invitation. if he got
one, would be based upon the supposition
that he would wear the dress suit Gus
tomary at that ceremony. he is going about
declaring that if he can't wear such clothes
at Westminster as he chooses he Will not
accept any invitation and Will not attend
the function.
But the Governor will not, perhaps, awake
on the morning after the coronation to
find himself famous. The getters-up or
any entertainment here, as we'll as abroad,
are conceded the right to make dress con-
ditions If they please, and people can at
tend or let il alone on the conditions named.
There are said TO be hotel keepers in
America who instruct the head waiter 70
turn back all patrons from the dining-rOOm
door who present themselves in their shirt
sleeves. This is no slur on that useful,
decOrous and almost indispensable garment,
the shirt, but is simply a decorative provi-
sion 10 enhance the beauty of the tout
ensemble, and all that sort of thing, of the
dining room. People who prefer to dine in
their shirt sleeves are at perfect liberty
TO go elsewhere.
The coronation is a court affair, and all
that the King expects is that folks who
want in" shall wear the court dress. The
regulation wasn't made, surely, for the
purpose of excluding the late Governor of
Texas. The King didn't know, perhaps,
that HOgg had no court dress. And there
will be so many people willing TO wear the
laced coat and the knickerbockers at the
coronation that HOgg will hardly be missed.
Let him borrow one, since II is considered
the proper caper, or keep still about his
grievance. Even in Texas they will laugh
at his ridiculous pose.

PROTEST FROM BRITONs.
They Object tn Reciprocity Between
Cuba and the United States.

LONDON, March 11.-Delegates from a
number of Chambers of Commerce visited
the foreign secretary. Lord Lansdowne, at
the Foreign Office to-day and presented a
memorial relative TO British trade with
Cuba, pointing out that it was feared when
the administration of that island was hand
ed over to the Cubans a reciprocity treaty
would be negotiated admitting Cuban prod
ucts into the United States at reduced
duties and granting corresponding prefer
entail terms TO American products and
manufactures by Cuba. THE United
States" says the memorial. when declar-
ing war on Spain expressly stated that
their action would be limited TO freeing
Cuba from Spanish rule. 1t was, therefore,
trade with Cuba that no measures would be
adopted at the conclusion Of the war which
would restrict or destroy their trade with
that island. Such a reciprocity treaty as
that anticipated would undoubtedly put an
end 10 European trade with the island.
The chambers, therefore. most earnestly re-
quest that the utmost effort be made by his
Majesty's minister at Washington to pre-
vent the signing of any such treaty, or, at
least, TO secure that the most favored treat
ment be continued by Cuba 10 this country.
1t is reported that French and German in
tereStS would suffer by a reciprocity treaty,
and 1t is suggested a joint protest might be
enectual IN preventing a change adverse to
the interests of Europe in trade with
Cuba
The interview was private. but the Asso-
ciated Press understands that, while prom
downe gave but faint encouragement to the
delegation.
