CUBAN CENSUS FINISHED
First step for Termination of the
Provisional Government f.
Accomplished.

HAVANA, Nov. 24.-with the completion
of enumeration Of the population OF Cuba,
there has been accomplished the first step
in the direction Of the termination Of the
American Intervention and the re-establish-
ment Of the Cuban republic
Pending the difficult task OF tabulating,
the results probably will not be known for
some weeks. Taking precedence of all other
features Of the census is the preparation Of
the registration lists by municipalities and
wards. They naturally will be subject to
much revision, involving considerable de-
lay.
An estimate by one of the most accom-
plished statisticians in the service of the
provisional government places the popula-
tion OF the island at 100000 of which about
100000 are foreigners not entitled to the
franchise.
An element that may prove to be Of prime
Importance in the coming election is the
health of Jose Miguel Gomez. 1t is rumored
that the general is afflicted with a danger
Gus ailment which may compel his retire
ment from the field, In which event a re-
Cancellation Of the factions is not improb-
able.
A singular feature of the present situa-
ton is the utter apathey with which Cubans
appear to regard tie preparations making
for the restoration3 of their republic. At
no time since the Intervention began has
political discussion been so languid.

THAW TRIAL is POSTPONED
Both Sides Agree that IL Go
over Until Some Time in
January.

NEW YARK, Nov. 24-The second trial
Of Harry Kendall Thaw, set for one week
from tomorrow, will again be postponed,
and there is little chance that It will be
called until some date well along in jan
uary The decision to ask for a postpone
ment has been agreed to by both sides. 1t
is due partly to the fact that the task Of
selecting a jury would be made doubly
hard by the approach of the holidays and
the prospect before the talesmen of spend
ing both Christmas and New Years day
locked up under the care of court balliffs,
and also to the fact that Thaw's counsel
has applied to the court for permission to
inspect the secret evidence presented be-
fore the Bunacy commission during the
progress OF the first trial. AS an added
cause for delay there is rumor that the
attorneys now representing Thaw may ap-
ply for a change of venue, declaring a fair
trial for their client in New York county
is impossible. Such a move, II made,
would be based upon the alleged un-
friendly attitude of many of the local
papers and the extent to which the evil
dence was printed and read in this county.
District Attorney Jerome will seriously op-
pose the granting q change of the scene
of the trial.

NEW FIELD FOR COLLECTORS
Costly Work of Gathering Collection
Of DiRerent sEiRds of money
in Circulation.

NEW YORK, Nov. A.-Numismatists
have found new field of development for
collection purposes in the great variety Of
hprovised money now in circulation in the
-lterior. south, west and northwest They
find that the suI,lly of clearing house
checks and individual bank issues are so
numerous that It is a costly piece OF work
to make a fair display of the specimens.
The lowest value of the new money
checks seen In New York is 81. Subscrip-
tions were received at the subtreasury yes
terday for an entire set of the treasury
notes of indebtedness, which will have the
appearance Of bank notes.
The lowest denomination OF this class OF
currency is $50. and the buyer of this set
of bills will be forced to spend a good sized
sum in order to obtain the complete outfit.
1t has this advantage, however, that as
long as the United States government Ia Jts
the notes will be worth their par value.

c. E. YOST GETS NEW HJNORS
Becomes President of Northwestern
Bell Telephone Exchange.
THREE PREsDENCIEs FOR HIM
Mr.. YOst and MIR. Lane Among
Most Prominent OmcIaIs of the
Parent Corporation Mt
Boston,

Casper E. Yost, president Of the Nebra ska
Telephone company and the Iowa Tele-
phone company, has Just been elected pres
ident OF the Northwestern Telephone ex-
change by the directors OF that corpora
ton The Northwestern operates in Min
nesota and the two Dakotas The field now
covered by Mr.. Yosts authority, therefore
comprises Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota
North and South Dakota, one of the widest
and most important territories assigned to
any one Bell president.
The additional honors and responsibilities
imposed upon Mr.. Yost, and the recent cleo
tion Of II. Vance Lane to the presidency Of
the Rocky Mountain Bell company, have
demonstrated the prominence of the Omaha
men in the affairs Of the Bell company,
whose central headquarters are at Boston,
where the president, Theodore H. Vail. re-
sides.
When the opportunity came Of advancing
/ Mr. Lane to the presidency at Salt Lake
/ Mr. Yost hestated, not for any lack of
! confidence in Mr.. Lane or desire to see him
| move up, but because of these things and
| because 1t had been the intention of these
years on the part OF Mr.. Yost to make Mr..
Lane his successor.
! Il expected to step aside soon and lay
the burdens Of active management upon
the shoulders OF Mr.. Lane" said Mr. Yost
And then he was reminded by a friend
that he was only boy, after all, despite
his &c years and long. active career. Eyes, -
replied Mr.. Yost-"well. l had been count
ing on that strongly of late; but Mr. Lane
was so eminently qualified for that Salt
Lake City place that when the chance
came couldn't afford not to shove him
| into It,"
The territory of Mr. Lanes company is
larger than all of Europe
Mr.. Lane will be given a banquet soon
by the members Of the board of governors
Of Ak-Sar-Ben, who served the seven years
OF his incumbency, and will also be given
a banquet by the officials and directors
of the Nebraska Loan and Savings com.
pany, of which he is a director.

GOLD LEAVING GERMANY
ReIchsbank Loses Three Millions of
the yellow Metal During
the Week,

BERLIN, Nov. 24-Gold continues to
leave Germany in steady stream. The
Reichbank lost probably S3.0OO0OO during the
last week. But the stock has been more
than replenished through arrivals from
home sources. The Reichsbank is trying to
increase its gold supply by paying out
banknotes of small denomination which re-
Gently became available for circulation.
The impression here is that most OF the
gold taken for tho United States during
the wee kwas drawn from the open mar
ket. The tendency shown in Wall street
the last few days has had a calming effect
upon the minds OF the financial community
and the hope is now entertained that a
gradual recovery will now p in in the
United States.
Steadier prices In Wall street latterly
ave increased the demand for American
lis. which showed considerable activity

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.--Answers, demurrers

in the Illinois Central imbroglio were filed
Saturday afternoon. The answer OF John
Jacob Astor, A. G. Hackstaff, John w.
Auchinclose Cornelius Vanderbilt and ].
T. Harahan, which is made joint is the
most important of the documents
Numerous charges regarding Mr.. Fish S
acts as president of the railroad are con-
tained In H. II is claimed that inasmuch as
Fish, acting as proxy has in times past,
often voted the stock held by the Railroad
Securities company at meetings of the Illi-
nois Central Railroad company. he is
thereby estopped from now objecting to
the ownership by the Railroad Securities
company, OF Illinois Central shares.
In another section Of their answer these
five directors OF the Illinois Central admit
the connection Of Messrs Hartman, Goelet
and Peabody with the Union Pacific rail-
road but they point In return that Stuyve-
SAINT Fish is a director and member of the
executive committee of the Missouri Pa

The defendants deny that they voted for

NebrnslRn Talks 20 international
Convention on Christian
CitiEenship.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A-Christian citi-
zenship, as exemplifed by the Young Mems
Christian association. was the topic Of an
address by William J. Bryan at a largely
attended mass meeting held under the aus
piceB of the international convention Of
that association at Convention hall satur-
day afternoon. II was the leading feature Of
the days events of the convention. Mr..
Bryan was escorted to the plat form by
George b. Cortelyou, secretary of the
treasury. Tremendous applause greeted the
two men as they made their appearance in
the. hall, where both spoke. Mr.. Bryan,
who made the principal address, was in
troduced by Mr.. Cortelyou and the re-
marks OF both were heartily applauded.
Mr.. Corteyou said Mr.. Bryans interest
in the associations undertakings are well
known and he had the pleasure Of pre-
senting to his friends of many years, the
Hon. William ]. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan pointed out the influences to
be exerted and benefits to be derived from
an active Christian citizenship. He spoke
of the tie that binds all Christianity of
the differences in the progress of heather
nations as compared with those which had
embraced Christianity; Of the great in
fiuence of the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION for good; OF the lesson of moral
courage from the act Of the prodga1 son
in returning to his father and declared
that II we cannot send preachers to the
heather we can send Christ to them for
every living Christian life is a great sermon
IN itself.
why should any man be ashamed to
confess himself a follower OF Jesus OF
Nazareth" asked Mr.. Bryan. Then dis
cussing the fact that 80 many men declare
there are things in the Bible, one cannot
understand. he said n we only try to live
up to what we do understand we will be
so busy doing good that we will not have
time to think of things we don't under

BANKERS OFFER MANY CURES
Lack of Agreement ms 20 Remedial
LEGISLATION Among the Money
Men.
CFrom a stan Correspondent


WASHINGTON. Nov. A-(special Tele-
gram) Nebraska bankers are against asset
currency in the ratio Of three to one. ac-
cording to Senator Burkctt, who is receiv-
ing hundreds of letters relating to the
present financial stringoncy and the pas
sage Of remedial legislation. Bankers are
writing Senator Burl5ett TO support the
idea Of a central bank, which former Di-
rector Of the Mint Roberts championed in
his speech to the Omaha business men not
long since. and they are writing him to
oppose such an institution. until Mr., Bur
kett does not know what his constituency
really wants. One man is in favor Of the
old Scotch plan OF a central bank. another
in favor OF government repositories with
power to relieve congested conditions by
guaranteeing certificates of Indebtedness at
first hand. In twenty letters which the
senator has received in the last three weeks
from bankers in Nebraska regarding tho
financial situation no two wholly agree
upon a solution Of the question They hint
at remedies to correct evils in the present
currency laws, but fail to specifically point
a way out of the dilemma. And this lack
of something tangible 10 work upon, that
a recurrence of the present "tightness' Of
money may be stopped, is giving other
senators now in the capital as much serious
concern as the senior senator from Ne
braska.
Washington is at present entertaining a
stalwart body of men, the twenty-siNth
international convention of the Young
Mems Christian association being in ses-
sion in the national capital. In personnel

tion leads all the rest having as It's dele

retary; B. C. Wade, general secretary.
