To Reduce Representation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE elev-
enth continental. congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton will begin here today and con-
tinue throughout the week.
A number of important matters are
to come up for consideration. One Of
the important questions is how the
large representation in congress may
be advantageously reduced. Fifteen
amendments to the constitution and
three to the bylaws are to be dis
cussed and an editor and business
manager for the magazine are to be
elected Since the last congress 3,640
women have been admitted, making
the total membership of the society
nearly 10000.

DESPERATE FIGHT FOR MONEY.
Farmer Resists Robbers Until Beaten
Into Inconsistencies.


GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Feb. 15.-
Thomas r. Varah, a prominent far
mer residing five miles southeast of
Doniphan, was assaulted and robbed
of $65 in his own home, between 8
and 10 o'clock at night. He was alone
in the house with his children, the
other members of the family, includ-
ing his son-in-law, having gone to a
dance a quarter of mile distant.
Varah was awakened by a handker-
chief over his mouth. He threatened
to call his son-in-law, but was inform
ed by the robbers that his son-in-law
was at the dance, showing that the
robbers had been posted.
They ordered him to get out of bed
and go down stairs. Varah had been
at Hastings the day before and in a
business transaction had secured $3.50
in cash. On the way down stairs he
took the larger of the rolls of bills
and tucked it under his drawers, leav
ing only $65 in his trousers pocket.
All but this amount was therefore
saved.

Barely Escapes Cremation.

FAIRBURY, Neb., Feb. ia bad
fire occurred here about IL o'clock at
night in the residence of William P.
McPhail, merchant of the city. Dur
ing the brief absence of Mr.. McPhail
from the house soft coal stove ex-
ploded, scattering fire all over the
room. Mrs. McPhail, who has been
a helpless invalid for many years,
was the only occupant of the house
at the time, and she was unconscious
at the time she was rescued and car
ried to the home of neighbor. Her
condition at last reports was very crit
ical and it is feared she will not re-
cover. Her injuries, however, are
more the result of the nervous shock
than directly of the fire.

SUCCESS OF GENERAL BELL.
Said to Have Crushed insurgents in
Batangas Province.

MANILA, Feb. 17.-General j..
Francis Bell has practically cleared
up the insurrection in Batangas prov
ince, the troops under his command
having made a clean sweep of the
district. 1t is not believed that all
the insurgent arms have been cap
tured or surrendered, but that num-
Der of them have been taken by the
insurgents to other provinces or safe
ly hidden. The increase of robber
bands in the provinces of Tayabas
and Cavite show the effects of the
drastic measures adopted in Batah-
gas and Laguna provinces.
General Bell says the people of
these latter provinces never realized
the terrors of war until they person
ally experienced its hardships, owing
to the closing of the ports and the
concentration of the natives in the
towns. General Bell believes that
the insurgent leader, Malavar, is be-
coming exceedingly unpopular with
the Filipinos, and that when the ma
tiyes cease to fear his vengeance
many will be found willing to betray
him. What has been said of Batan-
gas applies almost equally to La
guna.

THE MATTER OF IRRIGATION.
Communication of Senator Dietrich
Reuardnq Experiment Stations.


LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 1.-THE OFF,
cials of the department of labor and
industrial statistics are gratified at
the work of the real estate dealers in
their convention at Fremont, but eX-
press regret that wider publicity was
not given a communication from Sen
ator Dietrich, who recommended the
organization Of an experiment station
in connection with the state univer-
sity for the purpose of investigating
and promoting irrigation. 1t was the
intention of the department to have
this proposition submitted not only to
the convention, but also to the people
of the state as well, the hope being to
have public interest aroused in such
a way as might influence favorable
legislation.
"The senator explained in his COM
munication that the federal govern
ment would materially assist any eff
ioiI VI tHe hlIu LhdL uiShI NC hdue
by the state" said r. A. Hodge, chief
clerk of the department. His sug-
gestion was that the convention should
take such steps as would influence
public sentiment in favor of such a
project. Senator Dietrich's idea con-
templated the establishment of exper-
iment stations in different parts of the
semi-arid region, all to be under the
direction and supervision of the main
station at the university"

A FEDERAL CABLE
HOUSE COMMITTEE FAVORS
PASSAGE OF CoRLISs BILL.
Give GOVERNMENT FULL CHARGE
Advocates Ask Construction, Opera
tIon and Control by NatIon-Value
of Communication with Hawaiian
Islands lnestimabIe.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE re-
port TO be filed today in the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce recommending the passage
of the bill providing for government
ownership of a Pacific cable, says that
the United States, by the annexation
of Hawaii and the acquisition of the
Philippines and other islands through
the ratification of the Paris treaty,
assumed the responsibility of main
tanning peace in the Pacific ocean.
This obligation, the report, which was
prepared by Representative Corliss, the
author Of the bill, says was deliber-
ately undertaken by this country and
approved by the united voice Of the
people. 1t adds:
t'The future peace and prosperity Of
these islands will largely depend upon
the facilities extended by our govern
ment for the advancement and en-
lightenment of the people there. If
islands the people must be made to
understand the character and purpose
of our government and to feel the ben
efits of the enlightenment of civiliZa
tion. This can be accomplished through
the mediation of cable communica-
ticns. The advancement of our own
people and the benefit of rapid COM
munication through the telephone, tel
graph and railway lines illustrate the
advantage and the progress that may
be achieved through cable messages.
Regarding government ownership of
cables, Mr.. Corliss says England for
fifty years has been constantly acquir-
ing by purchase and construction ca
BILE communication with her vast pos
sessions, until she has expended up
wards of S100,000,000 for this purpose
and operates her own cables connect
ing her colonies. England is now
constructing a Pacific cable from
Vancouver to Australia at a cost of
nearly $9,0O0,OOO, and in order to give
her tradesmen and manufacturers the
benefit of this communication at the
least possible expense, has fixed a rate
of shillings, or so cents per word, for
cable messages from Vancouver to
New Zealand.
France, Germany, and other ma
tions are not sleeping upon their
rights as the people of the United
States have been," comments Mr.. Cor
liss, "but are establishing government
telegraphic communication with their
respective possessions.
81 therefore contend that the Pa
cific cable should be owned, controlled
and operated by the government Of
the United States. 1t should be made
by an American manufacturer, laid by
an American ship, under an American
flag, and operated at actual cost for
the dissemination of knowledge, the
proper direction of our army and navy
and the advancement of our trade and
commerce in the Pacific. The trans
mission of communication should be
held by the state.'
