LEGISLATION LAGS
Germans Resume 1t and Won
BueiOW Discusses War.

BERLIN, April 1.-THE reichstag. re-
sumed it's sittings today, after the
Easter holidays, with business badly
behind, owing to the protracted~ gen.
eral political debate during the budget
discussion, which is still unfinished.
The other measures remaining on the
calendar are a bill regulating the finan-
cial relations between the imperial
treasury and the German states, bills
revising the boerse law and reducing
the boerse taxes, a bill indemnifying
innocent persons arrested on false
charges, a bill establishing mercantile
courts of arbitration to- settle differ
ences between merchants and their
employees, and finally a supplementary
military pension bill
A considerable part of the budget
remains undisposed Of including the
important colonial section. which is
sure to cause a protracted discussion,
since connected Herewith will be adj
ditiOnal credits for suppressing the
HereFo rebellion and votes for the CO.
lonial railroads.
The house took UP the budget.
Chancellor Won Buelow, answering
questions of DIR. Sattler, said the Ger
man government saw no hostile pur-
pose in the Franco British colonial
entente against any other power.
From the standpoint Of German in
terests," said the chancellor, "we have
no objections to the entente, for we
do not need and do not wish for fric-
ton between Great Britain and France,
because that would mean danger to the
world peace, which we sincerely wish
to maintain"
The chancellor defended the govern
ment against DR.. Sattler's criticism
that it took an interest in neutralizing
China, alleging that the interests of
the powers lie in the localizing the war,
SO that no world war shall result. Fur
thermore, the declaration of Chinese
neutrality contributed to reassuring
the Chinese court, which otherwise
would have left Peking, a step which
would have increased the chances of
China becoming involved.
Replying to charges that the govern
ment was over friendly to the Catho-
lies, Count Buelow challenged his crit
les to mention an instance where the
interests of the country had been sac
rificed for the sake OF conciliating the
ultramontaines. He said that if these
critics knew how the business of the
empire could be conducted constitu-
tionally without reckoning with exist
Ing party arrangements he would ap-
preciate their advice on the subject.
The Prussian government today
brought in a series Of canal and river
Improvement bills, thus renewing the
efforts begun in 1899 to connect the
river systems of the whole country by
waterways navigable for large vessels.
The bills carry $100,750,000. OF this

JURORS DISAGREE
IN THE NELLY CASE
Matter Of Alleged PecuIator in Cuba
Will Be Tried Again.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE jury to-
day disagreed in the action brought
by the United States against Charles
F. w. Nicely, former director of finance
of the postoffices of Cuba, in which an
attempt was made to officially fix the
amount of Neely's alleged populations
between January and May, 1900.
Judge LadOmbe, sitting in the
United States circuit court, where the
suit was tried made. several efforts to
get the jury to agree, but failed, and
discharged it after being assured by
the foreman and several of the jury
men that an agreement was impossi-
BILE.
The attorneys for the government
contepded that by documentary evil
dence they had shown that NeeIys
populations during the three months
mentioned amounted to about $4,000
The attorney for Nicely argued that
the Cuban act of amnesty freed his
client from all criminal and civil la
bility. Special Attorney General Jones
said the government would retry the
case at once.

HARTMAN SEEKS
TO GAIN CONTROL
Union Pacific Would Turn I'M
migration to the
Southwest.

The announcement made In Chicago
Monday that the Union Pacific had viz
tualiy withdrawn from the Western i'm
migration by the employment of Peter
Mcdonnell, of New York, to act as it's
special immigration agent caused much
surprise in st. Paul railroad circles
Among passenger men it was the chief
topic of discussion yesterday.
THE Union Pacific's action is another
of Harriman's attempts to divert immi-
grafton from the Northwestern states to
the barren Southwest" an Fofficiai of one
of the big Chicago-St. Paul systems said
Hartman has been making a desper-
ate fight to settle the territory along the
line of the Southern Pacific, and this lat
est move of the railroad Spectator is
another effort to secure the bulk of the
immigration business for his Southern
line"
The Union Pacific bases it's action on
an old record it filed some years ago pro-
Viding that any line, in the protection
of its interests, desiring to employ an
outside agency in competition with the
Southern Pacific and Canadian Pacific
railways shall have the privilege of doing
So" This record was made when the
Union Pacific was not a member Of the
immigration pool and was getting its i'm
migrant business through McDonnelFs eff
forts. The difficulties the existing be-
tween the Union Pacific and the immi-
grant bureau were settled several years
ago and since then the Union Pacific has
stood by the other Western lines and ac-
copied the regular percentage of the bust
ness allotted it under the pooling agree
ment.
About two years ago the Rock Island
withdrew from the immigrant bureau and
it received considerable assistance from
Mcdonnell, but two or three months ago
the Rock Island was induced to come
back, and it was thought peace had been
permanently secured.
The plan of the Union Pacific is de-
clared to be to break up the pool and
thus help the Southern Pacific, of which
it is now an integral part, to mOnOpolize
the immigrant business. By employing
Mr.. Mcdonnell as it's agent the Union Pa
cific allies itself with the Ontario &
Western, which for some years has been
securing it's immigrant business through

SPEAKS OF AMERICAN
TRADE IN JAPAN
Economic Alliance Between the Two
Countries Is Proposed by a Jap.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April 12-The
Manufacturers club of this city had as
its guest tonight Ihei Kuzuhara, who
has represented Japan in this country
in a commercial capacity for two years.
In speaking of The Far East a Market

he said the open-door policy of the
United States, England and Japan
will never lack support so long as
the political faith of these countries
remains unchanged, and it will give all
nations equal opportunities for trade
there, although one strong nation
Russia-is opposing this principle He
added:
Governmental and political meas
ures may pave the way, but the princt-
pal part of the work must be left to
private initiative. The best way to
effect the proposed interchange of man.
ufactures and capital, both for the
United States and Japan, is for an
economic alliance to be formed be-
tween these peoples. 1t should be an
entirely non-political understanding,
and has been urged many times by
Baron Kaneko, one of the best authori-
ties on economic affairs in Japan

GETS DOODLE MONEY.
So confesses Former Newspaper Man of
Grand RapIds


Grand Rapids.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, April 12.-In
the Burns trial today j. Clark Sproat, of
the now defunct Grand Rapids Democrat,
was called and made public confession
for the first time of receiving a large
amount in the water deal He said that
Salisbury, then city attorney, gave him
$1,000 of water deal money in the first
gave him $13500, less the amount of a
small note.
In February he gave me 10,000," said
Sproat. This kept only few days and
returned it to him. 1t was part of the
Barton money!
Sproat testified that a bill to be pre-
sented to the legislature was prepared by
Attorney Willard Kingsley in the interest
of the Hydraulic Water company, and
that it was sent to Burns at Lansing by
D. A. Crow. The night before the bill
was sent Sproat telephoned Burns that
the bill was coming and that 1t was IA
vored by his paper.
Counsel for State Senator David E
Burns moved that the jury be instructed
to return a verdict Of not guilty Counsel
argued that while the Indictment charged
that Burns accepted 5000 for his vote, the
testimony tended to show that the all
legged payment was only for introducing a
bill in the legislature and that under the
laws of Michigan this was no crime. The
motion was denied.
Senator George E. Nichols was arraigned
other case growing out of the water
scandal. Nichols stood mute and a plea
of not guilty was entered for him. His

couple to the mother the father being
permitted to visit the children at reason
