Resisted Arrest When Trap

Short by a Bullet.

Special to The Journal.
Lincoln, Neb., March 17.-Willard
Smith. a young man, the son of we'll
to-do farmer, was shot and killed last
night at Filley, a village in Gage county
He had attempted to levy blackmail by
means Of q threatening letter, and while
resisting arrest by men sent to entrap
him, was fired on and mortally wounded,
dying within an hour.
I Young Smith made a demand upon P
T. Llewellyn, a merchant at Filley, that
he deposit $3.50 near church building.
In the letter. which was unsigned, Mr.
Llewellyn was threatened with having
his store burned If he failed to comply.
The merchant turned the letter over to
Sheriff Washington and the latter in
structed Llewellyn to deposit the money
at the point mentioned, while armed
deputies were stationed near at hand
4 Smith appeared shortly after dark, and
without hesitation made his way to the
church steps and drew out the package
underneath where Llewellyn had depos-
tied it. The officers closed in on the
blackmailer and demanded his surrender.
Smith made a dash for freedom, but fell
from bullet fired by Deputy Frank
Shadler. He was taken to the home OF
his parents, a short distance out, but
expired before medical assistance ar

part. The dead boy had led a dissolute

SENATE IS
GIVING WAY
Yielding to House Contention
as to the Various Reel
procity Treaties.
Foreign Relations Committee
Finally Sets About the
Ratification Thereof.

Washington, March 1.-THE senate
committee on foreign relations has deoid-
ed to again take up the reciprocity trea-
ties which are before the senate with a
view to securing such amendments to
them as will insure their ratification.
There has long been contention on the
part of the representatives that because
these treaties affect the tariff they
should be passed upon by the house as
we'll.
The senate committee would not con-
cede this point, but because the Dingley
bill authorizing these commercial
agreements required the consent of the
entire congress- the committee now favors
the house contention. This it has done in
adopting the report prepared by it's sub
committee, Of which Senator Spooner is
chairman. :. Senator Aldrich, who has
cOntended that the treaties should be con-
sidered In the light of tariff legislation,
will be invited to give the committee his
views. If the amendment is adopted as
to part of the treaties it will be applied
to all Of them and all such agreements in
the future. '' +.-
The members of the senate committee
declare that this concession does not in
any way affect the treaty making power
of the president. f

GAG And KNIFE
Supposed Anarchists At
tempt to Kill an Ecclesi-
astical Foe.

Elizabeth, N. c., March 17.-An at
tempt was made to kill Rev. Mr.. Houst,
pastor of the German Luthern church,
last night. The police believe that the
would-be assassins were Italian an
archists. ~
After the shooting of President Me-
Kinley Mr.. Houst preached sermon in
which he denounced the anarchists and
declared they should be driven from the
country. On Nov %, last, his son Ivan,
mysteriously disappeared and the min
lister subsequently received Threatening
letters, in which it was said that the boy
was in hell and the father also would be
sent there. Some weeks ago his little
daughter was met on the street by
young man who tried to entice her into
a house, but she began to cry, attract
ing the attention of passers- by, and the
man hurried away.
Last night Mr.. Houst heard a step on
the porch of his home and he went out
to investigate. AS he did so he was
knocked down by/a blow on the head with
some instrument One Of his assailants
kneeled on his chest, threw a cloth over
his face, showed gag into his mouth and
drove a knife into the minister's chest,
inf1icting a deep flesh wound. The knife
wound was slight, but the blow on the
head caused serious injury

RIVER, HARB0R
Some Wrong Impressions Re-
garding the Appropriation
Bill Are Removed.

= Washington, March 1.-THE house to-
day began the consideration of the river
and harbor bill. Mr.. Burton (Ohio), in
charge of the measure. in his opening
statement said the impression existed
that the bill carried over 100000, 900 for
the ensuing fiscal year, whereas it car
ried but $24, 100000 of actual appropria-
tons, the remaining $S6,0Oo,000 being
simply authorized to be appropriated un-
der the contract system
There was also mistaken idea that
the pending measure carried larger ap-
preparations than any previous bill. In
1890 the actual appropriations exceeded
$25,0O0,0O0 For the current year the ap-
propriations in the sundry civil bill for
continuing contracts authorized in river
and harbor bills were $37, 900 900, against
$4l,O00,OOO for the two previous years. The
appropriations for river and harbor work
instead OF increasing with other govern
mental expenditures, were in reality de-
creasing

in compromising position. That officer
took him ashore in rowboat, gave him
SILL with which to purchase civilian cloth

customed to obey the white man all his
life, Glass says he obeyed unquestioningly

WHOLESALE FEE
Brewers Must Pay $500 Ii
cense in Every Michigan
Distributing Point.

Special to The Journal
Escanaba, Mich March 17.-News
reached here to-day that in a case from
this county, Circuit Judge Stone of Mar
quette has filed an opinion of widespread
Importance to brewers.
The decision was given in a. liquor law
violation case in which Clayton Voorhis
of Gladstone was the defendant and is to
the effect that outside brewers cannot
sell their product in the state ex-
cept on the payment of the wholesale
license of $500 in every community in
which they desire to do business through
an agent. Voorhis is accordingly found
guilty as charged, having paid no tax
while representing a Minneapolis concern
as agent.
The effect of the decision will be far
reaching and will in particular hit the
Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis
brewers who have a large trade in the
upper peninsula.

Of the next congress.
To-day said Mr.. Cochran Cuba, is
more entirely subservient to the govern
ment at Washington than if it had been
formally annexed. We have left it only
the simulacrum Of Independence. Legis-
lating against it's products in our, oWn
market, We yet deny IS the right to make
advantageous trade treaties with other
nations. We deny it the right Of repre-
sentation; and we reserve to ourselves
the right to send federal troops into the
island upon any pretext we may see fit.
In other words the national government
exercises more power over Cuba than
over any state in the union. Federal
troops cannot be sent into a state, or
even employed it they are already there,
without request from the chief execu-
tive of that state. That limitation does
not exist with regard to Cuba.

1.-THE party in power must make the is
sues. The democratic minority cannot
do it. Upon the action of the republican
congress depend the issues Of 1902.
Everybody realizes that. This proposed
20 per cent reduction in Cuban duties
would be inadequate, although that is not
saying that it might not serve as a sop
to Cerberus. 1t is step in the right di-
rection, no more.
'sIf Cuba is denied relief the matter
will not rest there. The whole protective
system will be brought into question; and
I firmly believe that people generally
have come to believe that our present tar
if laws are unjust and unfit to remain
longer upon the statute books. Where
it was united on this proposition some
years ago, the republican party is now di-
vided The sign post of public sentiment
is clear; and no party, however strongly
intrenched, can afford to disregard it.
Thinks Beers Will Win.
Passing to the Boer war, Mr.. Cochran
expressed a profound conviction in the I'LL
innate triumph of the Boer cause. He
said the contest had been waged, on the
part Of Great Britain, on basis of false
pretence from the very first, beginning
with the Jameson raid.
eff England said he, could not con-
Quer the Beers IN three. years 1 see no
reason to suc-sose that the conquest will
ever be accomplished SO far all her i'm
mense resources have proved of no avail,
Inc contest has been tremendously ex-
pensive, both in money and men and can
not be protracted much longer. 1 regard
the ultimate triumph of the Boer cause
as assured
THE situation in the Philippines is
similar. Up to the occupation of those
islands we had set England an example
that made for civilization. When we be-
gan to follow her lead that step marked
return to barbarisn. to the doctrine
that might makes right However. I
believe that the situation in the Philip
pines will adjust itself satisfactorily. At
the close of the civil war we were con-
fronted with a much graver problem; and
as late as 1872 it looked as though the
carpet Dagger would retain control of the
political machinery in the south. That
evil was averted, and I sincerely hope
and believe that the problems OF govern
ment in the Philippines will have like
happy termination.
Mr.. Cochran will deliver the principal
address at the St. Patrick's day celebra-
ton. at the Exposition building tonight
Already 5000 seats have been sold, and
Nj. Cochran is assured of a large audience
despite the cold weather. A brief .nu-
