(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. Governor Steunenberg, of Idaho,
yesterday notified the local committee that
he had appointed Frank E. Wyatt, of
Whttebird, vice-president for the conven
tion.
Let Spain Ueelalr War.
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. General
William Starke Rosecrans died at 7 o'clock
this morning at his borne near Redondo.
His death was not unexpected, it having
been realized several days ago that his ill
ness could not have other than a fatal ter
mination. Relief Party Klplorlng.
Vancoovkb, Wash., March, 10. The

abandoned, will be organized Into three

peditions, and 100 Indian scout will be

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. Beside all
these, ther are not less than 800 horses each
parking an average of 150 pounds

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.

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-
