Let Spain He the Aggressor If War Mast Be. Kansai 1'oboIIhU-Relief Party Hog Convention Catholic Tnng Hang (jeot-ral KoMcrani Dead. TortKA, Kan., March 10. The Fupuliat admlnlttratlon of theatate of Kanaaa gave out a atartllng public adilreea today, one brlatllng with aaver crlticiarn of the recent declalon of the United Slate aupreme court In the Nabraaka mazlmum freight caae. The addreta la significant in that Oovonor Ieedy lias already taken steps preliminary to calling the state legislature In special union, with the especial purpoae of enact lug a maximum freight rate law. While the address Is given out over the signature of Governor )eedy, It bad first been ap proved by Chief Justice Busier, of the state supreme court, and other prominent Popu lists. In giving the addreaa to the reporters, Governor Leedy said: "How long do you suppose a man can write treason like this without getting Into jail? You may put my signature to it and make it a signed statement, so that if any body goes to Jail it will be me." The Governor declares that the constitu tion of Nebraska give the leglalatur power toestablis maximum charges for transpor tation, and declared that the supreme court has tried to abrogate It He challen ge Justice Harlan's declaration that a corporation is a person under the 1-ttb amendment to the federal constitution, and saya: "I dny it, and so will everybody but a corporation lawyer or a subservient judi cial tool to corporate Interest" Governor Leedy .then quotes the 14tb amendment, and rays: "How In the name of God, can this apply to corporations T Corporations are not born, they arecrrated made by law. Tbey cannot be naturalized; then can take no oath of allegiance; only human beings can do that." After more in the same strain, th gov ernor, still referring to the Hih amendment, says: "Who are the persona who shall not, ac cording to lha provisions, be deprived of life, liberty or property, nor be denied equal legal protection T Everybody outside th asylum and off th judical bench know them to beand lo only be natural per sons. Tbey are those, who besides th capacity to bold property and enjoy legal protection, also have, Ufa and cau enjoy liberty, and that means human beings." In conclusion, Govenor Leedy state that hi maximum rat bill will be presen-. ted to the Kansas legislature in such shape that to decide against it the court most reverse it decision lu th Nebraska case, and be states that "it the court still pursues t'ie corrupt and rotten practice that it baa heretofore, by changing it decisions to suit the shifting Interests oi the railroad Corporations," th remedy will be with th people lu their dealings with the courts or in building railroads of their own. Catholics Loyal to America. Cuicaoo, March 11. "No true American Catholio priest would think of espousing the cause of Spain against that of this country, because the former is a catholic nation," said Archbishop Ireland in an in terview here today. Then, referring to the situation in this country, the archbishop said: "President McKiuley is proving himself pre-eminently the man for the hour and occasion. His course throughout the pres ent painful and trying crisis has been marked by a loftiness of purpose and a serenity and dignity ol conduct which has commanded the respect and admiration of his pronounced political enemies. This was abundantly shown by the remarkable and impressive action of congress in un hesitatingly placing the sweeping powers it did in his bands. I think every one has come to repose the utmost confidence in his wisdom and ability to meet whatever exigencies may arise In connection with the present unfortunate situation." Hog and Dairy Convention. Walla Walla, Wash., March 10 -The railroads have made a rat of one (are for the round trip for th hog and dairy con vention, to be held In Walla Walla, March 15, 10 17, and a large number of visitors is expected.

Cuicaoo, March 10.-The Journal has a special from Washington saying: Intervention by the United States will take the form of recognition of Cuban inde pendence. Judge Harian advised this course so as to put on Spain the responsi bility of declaring war. Death of General Rosecrama. LosANoaLU, Cal., March 11.

Nature Cannot be Downed. A writer In th Boston Herald takes a gloomy view of the present and future of th cotton Industry In New England. The Herald says this writer I associated with Nsw England cotton manufacturing inter ests and has Just returned from th South, where he hss had opportunity of examin ing the present condition of cotton manu facture In that section. He says In part: "There Is a great question now before the people of Massachusetts and New England on th subject of competition with the Southern cotton mills. The loa of our cotton mill would not only affect the stock bolder and people directly Interested in the mills, but all kinds of trades and pro fessions,' and also tbe railroads. What would many of our cities, such as Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Providence, Lewiston, Biddeford and others be without our mills? Tbe humlieds of thousand of dollars paid out weekly In these place would go, never to return. This loss would bring with it the loss of many other manufacturing con cerns, for where work can be done cheapest and equally well there the people will in vest their money." All-absorbing Toplea of Dutlea. La Kg Bisnrrr, Feb. 22. (Special Cor respondence). It is Interestng to stand at any point al most, on the 8ksgwsy trail, and look at the moving myriads of busy men, all anxious to get their outfits over tbe summit and on down here. The scene resemble not a little tbe steady marching to and fro ol busy little ante, that have found a convenient leak In the suiter cask. Going and coming, loaded and empty, sleds are drawn by band oxen, horses, dogs and even goats. Should a sled overturn, the blockade will frequently be one-ball mil in length.

Th Mrs ton Dead. Cause of Clara Nevada Explosion Bowery Fire William Peon Prtrick Ford' Beqneat. Our nation ha always been aneclail favored In having at critical periods a man in authority who waa equal to th emer gency. The Cuban altualion, provocailva of apprehension, as It has been, would occa sion a vast deal race concern were It not that we have a our representative in Havana a magnificent type of American manhood in tbe pernon of Consul-Oenerat Fitzhugh Lee. His distinguished ancestry, bia brilliant record aa a soldier and his masterly administration at tiieCuoau capi tal make hliu conspicuous as a man among men. His pen portrait is thus drawn by Henry Tyrrell in the New York Herald: General Filzhu(h Lee. of Vireinla. Uni ted States Consul general at Hivana. O ms, ) the man of the hour. It is not that th lour and the place bav made the mn. but simply that we have a consulcuoas ex- mpleoftbe right man In tbe rieht ulace. Great opportunities com only to loose who regreot without tlietn. Fitzbugh Lee Is a man with a SDlemlid past on record, and a grand future in sigiu looay ne wears tbe three-fold distinction of being an honored former confederate, a democrat and the bolder of an burhly iii, portantand responsible ottlne under a re publican administration and this at the administration's express reutieal at a liniw when the general rule has been prompt ac ceptance or tbe resignations of dem wra. tlcincumbents of paying offk-ea. General uee s resignation bad been on file at Waih- ington several months already, when, last novemoer, be came home and reuorted in person to President McKinley. Yet be went back to Havana with the seal ot offloa till lu bis possession, and fortitiel bv the cordial commendations of tbe President, wbo bad received stacks of letters from rep resentative meu in all parts of the counirv lavoringthe retention of General Lee at the post which he already occupied with marked distinction. The event of the past few months and weeks in Cuba, aud the masterly part that General Lea hat played therein, are matter of contemporaneous history from ' day to day. Our Consul general ia no jingo. He 's an American soldier, corn and bred loyal, patriotic, keenly sensitive to everw point of honor, personal or national. Be cause he is this he inspire at once the con fidence of the conservatives and tba enthu siasm of the jingoes, A characteristic ex pression waa that of L. P. SicsOee. brother of tbe Maine's commander, whocommenta on th disaster at Havana last week, said: "There is a man down there looking after the interests of this county who cannot be blinded. He has more aand than anybody I know of, and if there' anything treacher ous in this explosion we'll know of it with out delay. Th man I mean is General Fit Lee." Death of Mrs. Thurston. Havaha, March 14. Consul General Leo received the following telegram this after noon from Mr. Barker, United Suite con sul at Sagua la Grand: "The wife of Senator Thurston died on the Anita today. Shall give every attention and wire you from Boca." Meager advices say that Mrs. Thurston died from apoplexy about 8 o'clock this morning, when the yacht was in sight of port. Tbe Anita left Matanzaa last night with all the party except Representatives Smith, and dimming, who went to Sagua by rail. Tbe passage from Havana to Matantaa waa very rough, and that to Sagua even worse. It is thought that this, together with the rough passage down tbe coast, may hav hastened the end, but nothing definite ia known here as to the circumstances of Mr. Thurstou's death or as to the time and place of the funeral. Senator and Mrs. Thurston were member of a congressional parly which left Fort Monroe, March 2, for a trip to Cuba on tbe vacht Anita. The party bad a stomy night oft Hatteraa, and put into Charleston. The trip was continued after a few i days' rest Toe Anita first touched Cuba at Havana, and afterward went to Matanzaa and Sagua. la Grande. Mot an Unreasonable Request. Lincoln, Neb., March 12. Patrick Ford, an ex meruber of the Omaha city council. visited Governor Holcomba to plead for av pardon for bis son, Patrick Ford, Jr., one of the survivors of the Maine disaster. Young Ford two years ago was convicted of burglary and sentenced to 15 year in tbe penitentiary. He escaped from Jail. made bis way to Boston, enlisted in the navy under an assumed name, and was as signed to the Maine. A letter from him to his parents detailed his experience In the wreck, where he was wounded. Letters from other sources tend to confirm his story. Governor Holcombe has not indicated. what action he will take. Fire ou the Bowery. Nkw York, March 13. 3 a. m. Just be fore 2 o'clock this mornlne fire waa dis covered in the Bowery mission . The but Id ing, which is a five-story structure, con tained between 170 and 200 lodgers, and while tbe majority of them escaped, it is known that at least 12 or the men who had gone to sleep there for the night lost their lives In the conflagration. There were) many hairbreadth escapes, some of the oc cupants jumping from upper floors. 8ey- iContinued on Page Six.)
