Lincoln, Neb., July 23.-The supreme
court yesterday afternoon handed down
g decision declaring that there is not u
legally appointed fire and police board

stated that the decision should be sufli
Gent and that no peremptory writ di-
recting the governor to perform his
duty should be required.
The opinion is regarded as settling
the matter being made on a motion for

with the rendering of a decision declar-
ing the mayor and city council to be the
only body with power to appoint a fire

CUBA AND ANNEXATION.
A Division of Sentiment on Advisable
ity of the Step.


Havana July 23.-The annexation
movement. which was started some
months ago. but which has been kept
in the dark until within the last few
days, has caused much feeling among
those -Ce,haas who want the island to
have a fair chance in trying to solve the
problem of government.
The nti-anneXationists say the
champions of annexation consist large
ly of men, who, when the war WAS on,
spent the time at Saratoga or other
watering places in the United States or
Mexico; who. when the war was over,
tiocked back TO Cuba expecting to get
the Ions share of the spoils. to which
those who had fought for independence
We're entitled. While this may be an
eXaggeraiion, it appears to have
enough OF fact for a basis to keep it in
circulation.
Another point made against the an
neNatiouists is that most of them are
American citizens, altho Cuban born.
The reports of possible disturbances
in Cuba do not seem to have any sub
stantial foundation. The Cubans real
iZe that the eyes of the world are upon
their pride is az stake. They know that
the life or death of the republic de-
pends upon their behaving themselves.
and they are determined to conduct
themselves Alright. The most radical
leaders impress this upon the people,
and ii is safe to say that their counsel
will prevail, for they have a pride in
their republic and are determined to
give it a fair trial.
1t is presumed that if serious trouble
should ocur on the island that the
United States would return. Some OF
the anneNationists say the United
States would only want a pretext TO tell
the Cuhans that they had had trial
and had been found wanting.
A few of these enthusiasts imagine
that if somebody We're to gather a par
I. of a few hundred men together, make
q dash for the woods. rob a few pas
lures and burn few plantations that,
as soon us the news is flashed to NASH
ington. troops would at once be ordered
to Cuba, and the intervention would be
.: hand again. 1T is such talk as this
tha, has made the anti -annexationis,s
so bitter against the annexationists.
1t must be said. however that there
are in The ranks of the anneXationists
mon of high character. who are per
fectly conscientious in their advocacy
of annexation, and have no PERSONAL
motives in wishing to bring it about,
and would not stoop to do anything UNI
derhanded in its accomplishment. They
feel that it would be the best thing for
the country, as it would admit the prod
ucts of the island into it's best market
without duty, and thus settle the reci-
procity question at once.

TO REGULATE KISSING.
New York Central Does Not Expect to
Prohibit 1t.

New York, July 2S.-Officials of the
New York Central railroad are now
considering the advisability of issuing
orders preventing all kissing in the
train sheds or on car platforms. Only
recently the Central ordered that all
rice throwing be prohibited in the train
sheds of their roads, and now ii is said
the ban on kissing is to be promul-
gated. The railroad wants it under

about kissing, but it will regulate the
scene. 1t may be done in the waiting

in the train sheds and on the car plat
