Kansas has made a grave mistake,

Nebraska has never wasted its time

sented q scintilla of evidence against
Bender and Wilson, but they seemed to

Nebraska is not fearful that the

CUBAN BILL PASSED.
Not Enough Opposed to Secure
a Roll Call.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The house, by
a rising vote Of 335 to q, passed the bill
to make effective the Cuban reciprocity
treaty. The dissenting votes were about
equally divided between Republicans
and Democrats but there was no record
vote, the minority having too few votes
to order the yeas and nays.
The Democrats under the leadership
of Mr.. Williams. sought to the last to
secure amendments to the bill in &C
cordance with the action of the Demo-
cratic caucus but were defeated stead
lily. Mr.. Williams made the final eff
fort when he tried to have the bill re-
committed to the ways and means COM
mittee with instructions to amend, but
a point of order under the special rule
providing for a vote on the bill without
intervening motion, was sustained.
Mr.. Cannon received the applause of
the Democratic side when he entertain
ed the appeal from his ruling made by
Mr.. Williams, the speaker, saying he
giving the house the right to express
its will The appeal was tabled by
strict party vote.
The debate, begun Monday, was con-
tinued to within a few minutes of 4
O'Clock, the time appointed to take
vote on the final passage of the bill.
Mr.. williams closed the debate for his
side, and made an arraignment of the
Republican policy of protection. Mr
Mccall (Rep., Mass.) made the closing
speech on the Republican side. The an
nouncement of the passage of the bill
caused only a slight demonstration.
Mr. Mcclellan, mayor-elect Of New
York, occupied the speaks chair for
while as chairman of the committee of
the whole house.

CALLED TO WASHINGTON
District Attorney Summers
Summoned by the President.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 20.-An important
development in connection with the in
dictment last Monday by the federal
grand jury of United States Senator
Dietrich and Postmaster Jacob Fisher
of Hastings, for conspiracy and bribery,
was the sudden summons late today of
u. S. District Attorney Summers to
Washington. The summons, it is said
came from President Roosevelt and it
was instantly obeyed.
At least two of the cases now pending
before the grand jury it is said are ex-
pected to develop testimony of a much
more startling nature than the Hast
ings case and the department is anx-
ious that they be conducted in a man
ner that will bring out all the alleged
transactions.
Upon District Attorney Summers will
fall the duty of conducting before the
federal court the trial of Senator Diet
rich, which will be one of national i'm
portance. 1t is stated that this is one
of the important reasons for Mr.. Sum
mers' visit to Washington, as the de-
partment naturally wishes to become
familiar with the details of the evil
dence and other matters pertaining to
the trial of the case.
Nothing of interest is expected to
transpire until the return of District
Attorney Summers. Senator Dietrich,
it is stated will reach Omaha early
next week, but until he arrives his
friends refuse to say what action will
be taken by him in attempting to Sc
cure an early trial of his case in the
United States courts.

BRYAN Is BUSY
Seeing the Sights and Meeting Noted
People.

New York, Nov. 20.-W. J. Bryan of
Nebraska, who is visiting England for
the first time. devoted the opening day
of his stay here to sightseeing, says a
London dispatch to the Herald. He call
ed on the American ambassador, to
whom he had a letter from Secretary
Hay; went to Westminster Abbey, saw
the king and queen of Italy on their
way to the Guild hall, and heard A. H.
Asquith deliver speech. Tonight he is
going to hear Mr.. Chamberlain.
Mr.. Bryan said the Asquith meeting
had a stra NICELY familiar atmosphere and
that the arguments had a ring not at all
foreign. He was greatly surprised on
entering the hall to receive recognition
by round of applause.

AN AMUSING BLUNDER.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Representative
Reeder is not going to allow the fact
that he did not get the irrigation chair
manship to interfere with his interest in
irrigation and kindred subjects. Just
now he is turning his attention to food
prevention, and is preparing a bill
which he hopes will go a long way
toward solving this problem. The bill
probably will have to be amended to
some extent before it is introduced,
but in a general way he has decided
upon its provisions. He will doubtless
introduce it during the early days of
the regular session. The measure con-
templates, among other things, the con-
struction of flood reservoirs along the
tributaries of the Kansas river in Kan
sas and Nebraska A secondary con-
sideration is the utilization of the
waters thus conserved for irrigation
purposes.
