MinOrity-ROOseveIt is
Still Active.

TOXIC, Feb. 6.-The passage by the lower
house of the Nevada legislature Of an anti
Japanese resolution was received here with
remarkable indifference. The publication
OF the text of the resolution aroused ac-
tive resentment only in the columns of the
second rate press. The leading newspaper
in commenting on the resolution pointed
out the fact that Nevada was a small
state and did not necessarily represent the
sentiment Of the American people.
Foreign Minister Komura, in addressing
the House of Lords today repeated YER
batim the speech he made in the Diet a
few days ago. His remarks caused no dis
cussion. The absence of extended COM
ment on the situation in the Japanese news
papers is believed to be due to the reported
action Of the California legislature in de-
feating the Drew anti-alien land bill and
also to the resolutions of the New York
Board of Trade, and President Roosevelt's
letter and kilograms to Governor Gillett all
have been fully reported to the local press.
The leading newspapers today comment
favorably on the present aspect of the
situation. The Asahi says that notwith-
standing many Misunderstanding the rela-
lions OF America and japan remain un-
impaired. The Hochi, one of the papers
which has most bitterly denounced the ac-
ton of the California legislature, congratu-
lates Japan on the maintenance Of good
relations with the United States and says
that it would be a matter for deep regret
if the action of a minority of the people
of California should cripple the CONNER
cial and diplomatic relations OF the two
countries. The Hochi cellar that it is
evident the present disturbance is only
temporary.

CROWD AT OssENKoP TRIAL
Murder Case at PIattsmOuth is being
RItterIY Cnntented.

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Feb. 6.-(Special.)
The court room was crowded again today
by those interested in the trial Of Fred Os-
senkop for the killing Of Charles Byrne
in Eagle September IS. The case is being
bitterly contested at each point along the
line in the examination of the witnesses
and as to many points of law and It
sometimes becomes necessary for Judge
II. d. Travis to "call down the attorneys.
There ave been between forty and fifty
witnesses supoenaed and It is believed that
the trial will consume most of the time Of
the district court during the coming week.
Attorney T. J. Doyle of Lincoln has been
employed by Mrs. Charles Byrne, the
widow. to assist in the prosecution of Fred
Ossenkop.
The testimony Of the witnesses thus far
all agree that ossenkop overlook .Byrne
on the sidewa in the evening and caught
hold of him and forced him to the ground,
ossenkop being on top. and struck him
in the face several severe blows with his
fist and then got up and kicked him on his
face and head several times and that Byrne
did not attempt to defend himself in any
way. The body was picked up and placed
on the sidewalk, but Byrne did not say
a word and passed away within a few
minutes.
From the witnesses It is learned tina
Charles Byrne hauled three loads of grain
from his home to another town that day
and then went to his brothers to get a
seeder. His brother informed him that It
was at Eagle, so he drove there. After
his arrival in the afternoon he was sur
prised to find so many OF his friends and
learned for the first time of the fraternal
picnic. He was starting to get his team
when the tragedy occurred. It seems that
he had previously sold some grain to the
father of Fred O%ssenkop and for some
reason O%ssenkop refused to pay him in
full. Byrne brought suit and collected the
money. Two brothers and a brother-in-
law were present when the murder was
committed. Fred ossenkop is given his
freedom during the trial and is stopping at
the Hotel Perkins.
