KEARNEY BILL is REPORTED
Committee Cuts Amount for Erection
of Postoffice to Hundred
Thousand.
From a STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-(SpeeiaI Tele-
gram THE senate coplmittee on public
buildings and grounds today reported favor
ably upon Senator Millard's bill for a
public building at Kearney. Neb., but with
10 100000
Congressman Kennedy was today desig-
mated by Speaker Cannon to WELD the
gavel during the consideration in commit
tee of the whole of the army appropriation
bill Mr.. Kennedy acquitted himself with
grace and dignity.
Senator Burkett, at the request of the
school teachers and school organizations
of Nebraska, today introduced "a bill pro-
viding for the application of a portion Of
the proceeds from the sale of public lands
to the state normal schools OF the United
States for the advancement of instruction
in agriculture and manual training. Repre-
sentative Pollard has introduced a dupli-
cate OF this bill in the house. The bill
follows very closely along the lines of the
Morrel act passed several years ago, which
provides for an appropriation OF sl.OOO.OO
annually TO the various agricultural schools
OF the country.
Mr.. Burketts bill starts with an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the year ending
June so 1896 and increases the amount
OF such appropriations thereafter for five
years by an additional sum of slOa.OO0 each
year until the amount shall become s.. .OOO. 600.
1t makes the same provisions as did the
Mofrel act to guard against distinction of
race or color In admission Of students.

ALGECIRAS, Spain, Feb. 2.-Although
the nco-German deadlock remains un-
broken, the opinion of the delegates to
the Moroccan conference huctuates as TO
the results, the view today being rather
more hopeful that some solution is pos-
sibie. --a.
Some of the delegates express the view
that some conciliating move will be made
directly from Berlin.
PARIS. Feb. 22.-The strained Franco
German situation appears to have increased
somewhat owing to the disheartened tone
of the press, which, however, carefully
avoids stimulating the war fever. -
The government does not give any fur
ther indication of it's intentions in regard
to the Moroccan question. The tone of the
French press is that the conference situa-
ton is desperate, the only thing remaining
being for France to state its case and
depart. However, there is no evidence
that President Fallieres and Premier Rou-
vier, both of whom are men of an ex-
tremely conservative and pacific charac-
ter, entirely share the view that the con-
ference is doomed to failure. The semi
official Temps, however. prints IA leading
article today saying that an accord is i'm
| possible.
LONDON, Feb. 22.-Ofiicial opinion il

in that regard.
OF all the offenses charged against
railroads that of discrimination Is the
only one that has any foundation IN lact'
yet none of the bills presented at THIS
session of congress touches this point.
The main feature Of the proposed bills is
the provision that the Interstate Com

no provision for maintaining the rate

There are plenty of laws on the statute

MITCHELL TALKS WITH ROBBINS
Miner and Operator Have n Long
Conferences Oyer wage
Situation.

NEW YORK. Feb. 22--John Mitchell,
leader of the coal miners, had long talks
today with Harry \. Taylor. the principal
coal mine owner of Illinois. and another
with Francis l.. Robbins of the Pittsburg
Coal company, leader of the western Penn
sylvania operators. Robbins talked with
Mitchell i'm New York last Tuesday. Both
were in Pittsburg on Wednesday. They
started for New York Wednesday night
and shared a compartment on the train.
They talked long and earnestly together
on the journey.
Robbins is the leader of sixty operators
pledged to stand together in resistance to
the Pittsburg district miners demands for
1914 per cent increase in wages. He is
also an old personal friend of Mitchelrs.
Neither would discuss their conferences.
Pressed today for some explanation of
his statement In Plttsburg yesterday that
so far as he knew there would be Il strike,
Mr.. Mitchell finally said it applied TO the
bituminous coal situation. AskII If such
a strike would involve the men in the
anthracite regions, he said:
Il don't know. You can draw your own
conclusions as TO that"
President Mitchell found on his return
today that the miners' committee had al
most completed It's work, leaving only a
few details OF the schedule of wages To be
put in. He will go over the completed
document with the committee tomorrow
, morning and when IL is approved and
signed he will communicate with President
Bser saying that he is ready for a joint
meeting. The scale of wages clauses in
the miners demands today assumed prac-
tically the first rank of Importance. The
proposed wage scale is not mere fiat
advance of so much per cent all around
but readjustment intended to place each
class of mine workers In all sections OF
the anthracite regions more nearly on an
! equality of earnings.
If reasonable concessions should be made
/ in the wage scale the eight-hour day de-
mand will become much less of "A danger

CHICAGO. Feb 22-Sccrctary Of War
William Taft to-day before an audience
which filled the Auditorium to the doors.
delivered an oration upon "'rhe Army and
the Republic"
lie spoke under tho auspices of the Union
League club of this city. which for years
has made feature of the celebration Of
the birthday of Washington In the morn
ing the secretary addressed S,0D school
children, who were gathered in the same
hall in which he delivered his afternoon
speech. For his address TO the young peo-
pie he choose "The Philippines telling at
considerable length OF the progress that is
being made in educating the Filipinas ac-
cording to American standards. Al night
he spoke for the third time at the banquet
held In the Union League club house and
this time he discussed the Panama canal.
In opening his address in the afternoon.
which was the most important speech of
the three, Secretary TAFT declared that his
work had so far been of such an exclusive
character that he did not know about any
thing but the Philippines the Panama
canal. the army and the best method of
organizing a matrimonial excursion. The
Philippines, he said, he had already dis
cussed. the Panama canal he had reserved
for his speech at the banquet and the only
subject left for the afternoon was the
army. Tho secretary spoke at considerable
length, discussing the Organization. needs
and requirements Of the army, urging
strongly upon his hearers that they sup
port both tho army and the navy i'm such
a manner that both could be maintained
at a state OF the highest possible efficiency
He dwelt with emphasis upon the necessity
of being prepared for war as the surest
Rua ra ntee of neapp The words of Eeorpa
Washington, in this connection, he said
are even more true today than when they
were uttered. for the rea son that the coun-
try is now very much closer in touch with
the other nations of the world than it was
in the days of Washington.
In his discussion of the Panama canal at
the Union League club tonight Secretary
Taft gave his hearers a history of the at
fairs on the isthmus of Panama for the
last four years. He told Of the many OBJ
stacles that have been met with and have
been overcome and OF some obstacles that
are still unsolved.
Referring to the question as to whether
the canal should be built by contract or
by the government Secretary Taft said:
Every one of of us is anxious to have 1t
done by contract, but we don't want to
begin with contracts until the contractors
know how the work can be done ecOnom-
| ically. If we were now to invite bids on
| the work, the bids would be at a price
greatly beyond what the government could
do it for. Until the government by its
own work can establish the settled con-
ditions so that the contractors may know,
| ment to build all of this work by contract,
but when after one. two or three years
| the conditions are settled and the data
given to the contractor upon which the
work can be doLs it will be time to let
