PRUSSIA RUNS FAR BEHIND.
Big Deficits for Years Of 1901 and 1902
and Must Borrow for 1903.

RERLIN-The Prussian diet was re-
opened Tuesday. The chancellor.
Count Won Buelow, read the speech
from the throne. No mention was
made of foreign matters nor of the
canal bill. The speech took a gloomy
view of the finances of Prussia. 1t
said the accounts for 1901 closed with
a deficit of 9,375,000 marks, and add
ed that it was not anticipated that
the accounts for 1902 would be ap-
preciably more satisfactory. AS for
1903, a demand would have to be
made on public credit for a consider
able loan, in order to establish equili-
brium between the revenue and ex-
penditure, as in consequence of the
depression in agriculture, trade and in
dustry a further depreciation in the
receipts of several of the administra-
tive departments would result.
Bills were announced for furthering
the GermaniZation of the Polish prov
inces of Prussia, for their economic
development and for increasing the
salaries of officials and teachers there.
Measures to improve the administra-
ton of the railroads and for the ex-
tension of the state railroad system
also were proposed.

cHADRoN HAS THE OIL CRAZE.
Two Hundred and Fifty Claims Al.
ready Filed.

ready Filed.
CHADRON, Neb.-The oil field ex-
citement continues and the county
clerks office is daily thronged with
men and women eager to get an ap-
plication certificate filed for a placer
mining oil claim.
Certificates have been filed with the
county clerk for about $50 oil mining
claims and at the present rate 10000
acres of land will have been filed on
for this purpose before the end of the
week.
Hud Mead, now manager of new
company known as the Guatemala Oil
Mining company, with Ed Satterlee,
J. Brogheimer, w. H. Mccain and
other substantial Chadron business
men in the company, are locating
group after group of claims and max
ing arrangements for machinery to
commence boring. This will make
one of the strongest companies in the
field.
Another company composed of Om-
aha and Douglas county men, includ
ing G. w. Loomis, J. C. Holtorf,
James Hodge and l.. A. Harmon have
part of their machinery on the ground
and will be ready to begin boring
soon. They have an experienced
geologist here, who, in speaking of
the geological conditions of the dis
trict, says in substance that the shales
covering the anticline existing here
as shown in the outcrop of the
stratum, show unmistakable indica-
tions of oil. This anticlinal fold eX-
tends to the northeast and southwest,
entering the Sioux reservation about
the northeast corner of Dawes county.
Reports come from the reservation
that some half-breed Indian cattlemen
who occupy land on the reservation
within the belt have, in times past,
discovered coal beds while digging
wells, but had never reported it I'M
til the oil excitement began
The Indians are also anxious to be-
come a factor in the exploitation.

LAWYER BECKETT FROZEN.
MiIkman Finds Body in Road West
of Benson,

w. D. Beckett, a well known local
attorney of Omaha, was found shortly
after noon Sunday frozen stiff and
lying in a snow bank two miles west
of Benson and mile and a half
south.
Henry Rapp, a milkman living sew
eral miles west of Benson, was driv-
morning delivery when he discovered
the body lying face downward by the
side of the road not far from the
Little Papio creek and the Missouri
Pacific railroad track. He at once
reported the discovery to the coroner
and the body was taken III the am
bulance to Coroner Brailey's under
taking rooms.
The last seen of Mr.. Breckett was
by his nephew, Mr.. Woodrough, in
this city about 1:3C in the morning.
He left his nephew with the supposed
intention of returning to his apart
ments at the Her Grand hotel, where
he has been living for the past few
weeks. He did not go to the hotel,
however, and probably walked all the
distance to Benson, as it is said he
often had been in the habit of taking
long journeys on foot.
He formerly lived at Benson and
was earlier in the evening at hotel
there. At the hotel an attempt was
made to prevent him from going out
and he was given a room where it
was supposed he would remain dur
ing the night. He slipped out I'M
noticed and came to Omaha, where
he met and talked with a number of
people.

Babe Swallows Arsenic.

LINCOLN, Neb.-The 1S-months-old
baby of NJ. F. Perry accidentally swal,
lowed number of arsenic pills about
o'clock Monday evening and died
two hours later in terrible agony. The
child was playing on the floor where
the pills had been accidentally drop
ped, and, baby fashion, found and put
some of them in it's mouth. 1t was at
a time when the physicians of the city
were going home and considerable diff
ficulty was had in getting medical as
sistance. This is the third case of
the kind which has occurred here this
year.

SENATE MAY DISCUSS COAL,
Vests Motion Likely to DispIace State
hood Debate at Any Time.

WASHINGTON.-T senate's pro-
gram for the coming week includes
the continuation Of the statehood de.
bate each day after 2 o'clock and the
discussion of the militia bill during
the morning hour. There is also a
probability of a return at any time
to the question of the scarcity of coal,
in connection with Senator Vests mo-
ton to abolish the tariff on anthra-
cite.
Senator Nelson has not completed
his speech on the statehood bill. In
prophecy when he will conclude it,
but when he does Senator Burnham
will be ready to proceed. The oppo-
nents of the bill now make little eff
fort to conceal their intention to con-
tinue the debate Indefinitely with the
hope that it will be sidetracked by
the appropriation bills, which must
be pressed before long. Friends of
the bill, on the other hand, see no
necessity for making way for the ap-
preparation bills at present
1t is probable that the first general
appropriation bill, that providing
funds for legislative, executive and
judicial departments of the govern.
ment, will be reported during the
week, but it is doubtful whether it
will receive consideration at that
time.

MANILA-Two natives, former Of
fcials of Calbaygo, island of Samar,
were the only witnesses at the trial
Wednesday of Major Edwin F. Glenn.
They told of Major Glen's arrival
at Calbaygo, and said he directed the
citizens to assemble in his office.
When they appeared he read General
Smiths order and advised them to aid
the Americans in the pacification of
the island. He said this pacifcation
was in their hands and directed them
to go out and confer with the in
surgents. He warned the citizens that
if the insurgents failed to surrender
they would be used as guides to con-
duct the American column against the
enemy.

Senate Committee Recommends Fed
eraI Control of Settlement
WASHINGTON-The senate com.
mittee on Porto Rico and the Pacific
coast met to receive the report OF
the subcommittee appointed at the
last session of congress to investi-
gate conditions in the Hawaiian is
lands.
The subcommittee consisted of Sen
ators Mitchell of Oregon, Burton of
Kansas, Foster of Washington, Cock
rell of Missouri and Blackburn of
Kentucky. The last two named did
not visit the islands, but Senator
Blackburn joined in the recommends
tions, numbering twenty-six.
The visit to the islands was made
last September and covered twenty
five days, during which time forty
three meetings were held and 176 wit
nesses were interrogated.
The investigation was general and
covered all questions with which the
government could possibly be concern
ed, including the laws, local and fed
eral, and their execution; the public
lands, labor, the plantations, the har-
bors, taxation, the leprosy settlement,
Queen Liliuokalani's claims and other
subjects.
The condition of affairs in the leper
settlement on the island of Molokai ex-
cited the liveliest interest.

WASHINGTON.-T ways and
means committee of the house decided
to report bill providing for rebate,
equal to the duty now imposed, on all
kinds of coal coming from all coun-
tries for period of one year.
This bill is substitute for the one
introduced by Representative Hill of
Connecticut, which provided for re-
bate until June 80 next. 1t is expected
the bill will be called up in the house
at noon.
The bill adopted provides:
THAT the secretary of the treasury
be and is hereby authorized and re-
Quired to make full rebate of duties
imposed by law on coal of every form
and description imported into the
United States from foreign countries
for the period of one year from and
after the passage of this act"
Representative Richardson (Tenn.)
proposed an amendment striking out
the words "for a period of one year."
which was voted down. He then pro-
posed an amendment placing all Goals
on the free list, which was likewise
voted down.
The final vote on the adoption of the
bill was unanimous.
Representatives Payne, Dalzell and
Grosvenor held conference with the
president relative to the action which
had been taken by the committee.
The committee reported the bill, but
will not call it up in the house for
consideration today, as originally con-
templated, the decision having been
reported to bring it up under rule
Wednesday.
The report of the committee, sub
mitted to the house by chairman
Payne, after recommending the pas
sage of the bill, says:
This is an emergency measure de-
manded because of the scarcity and
high price of coal resulting from the
recent prolonged strike in the anthra-
cite coal mines.
Precedents for such action are found
in the Chicago fire and the fire at
Me-, in which cases congress
gave rebates on the duties on lumber
used in rebuilding the burned districts.
Whether the legislation will increase
the Importance or reduce the price of
coal is a question on which men differ
but it is all congress can do in the
premises and will satisfy the demand
of many of our citizens. While there
is a threatened coal famine in any
part of the country, We cannot turn a
deaf ear to the cries of the people.
The committee did not consider it
best to make any changes in the tariff
On coal after the period of one year
had expired, preferring to bring in this
IS purely emergency measure and
not desiring to go into the question |
of tariff revision, even upon this one
article. If any relief can come TO the |
people from such legislation it will |
be amply secured in the period pro- |
yided for in the bill.

To Utilize Corn Stalks.

E. B. Thaw of New York is in Om-
aha trying to interest local capital in
the manufacture of paper from the
pith and fiber of corn stalks. The re-
suits are produced by patented de-
vice which is being operated in Illi-
nois successfully, it is said, by the
company which secured the rights of
the inventor. 1t is averred by the
company that the product of the corn
stalks can be made in imitation of
the higher grades of linen papers, as
we'll as taking the place of the pulp
papers which are now generally used
for newspapers and cheaper publica-
tions. Samples of the paper which
have passed through the pulp mill only
are shown in support of the claim o.
the company. By products from the
manufacture of paper are cellulose and
a stock food.

The order includes directions to the
