The publicly announced “meeting of the ‘Autonomic club, under the auspices of the international workers group, was attended by only fifteen persons. Fourteen of these were foreigners. The speakers who 1 been announced to address the meeting did not appear. After waiting two h Gibbons of the commonwealth group made a speech, in the course of which he urged effort in righting the wrongs they complained of.

He himself was perfectly prepared to do %o, as they had nothing to live for, but were simply the slaves of the capitalists. Speeches, he added, were useless and physical force was neces- gary. When the government and Mr. Asquith_abandoned making Maxim guns for use against the people the latter would re- Jinquish _the manufacture of dynamite bombs. The speaker advised workers to read books upon chemicals. Other speeches, similar In tone, but in for« elgn languages, were made to the audience, which made up in enthusiasm for the smalls ness of the gathering, and wildly cheered at every opportunity the sentiments of their leaders, Detectives In citizens' clothing were pres. ent and scattered in all parts of the hall.

CH AND ENGL H TROUBLE Explanations of the gagement Between Thelr Forees in Africa, PARIS, Feb. 18.—A telegram has been received from the French governor In the Soudan stating that the collision between the British and French troops at Warina Was due to Chief Korona of Ouema de- celving the English and French by telling each that the others were Sofas. The Brit- ish burnt Ouema and other villages as a punishment for this deception and cuted Korona. ¢ Fuller details are received here of the Warina collision. They say the sentinels Posted outside the British camp noticed at an early hour in the morning suspicious movements in the long grass around the camp, and (after - watching these closely finally gave the alarm. The British troops quickly turned out, but had scarcely taken their position when a sharp volley was fired into the camp. Thir was promptly replied to by the British, but from the way the attack was made, the village being half surrounded, it was at irst thought that one part of the British force was firing on the other, and Colonel Ellis gave the order to cease firing However, when the British stopped firing the parp whizzing of the enemy's bullets showed that the fusilade came from an at- tacking party and firing was respmed by the British, whose spirited reply ultimately caused the enemy to cease. Captain Londy, commander of the frontier police, was shol in the arm, but he kept on encouraging his men to maintain a steady fire until he was shot dead by a bullet through the spine After the enemy had been repulsed and day had dawned it was seen the assailants wero French, the long thick grass having pre. = vented their nationality from being discovs the first fpstance.

Lord Salisbury, in answer to Lord Kil- borne, declared it was only when the House of Commons had become exhausted and re- duced in its numbers that the government suddenly conceived the desire to reform the vestries without giving either to those bodies themselves or to the people of Lon- don generally any opportunity of examining into the nature of the particular changes proposed or into their necessit The amendment was carried by 107 votes to 26. CLOSING CEREMONIES, ding of the Celobi Beauatiful ¥ tions In Honor of o's Jubilee. ROME, Feb. 18.—The closing ceremony in connection with Pope Leo's jubilee year took place today and consisted of a mass cele- brated by him in St. Peter's, foilowed by Te Deum. The details of this impressive ceremony were arranged by the cxceutive committee of the jubilee fete Sixty thousand tickets were given out for this final celebration and“it was estimated 50,000 peo- ple were present. The mass was celebrated at the papal altar. Leo was borne into the basilica in the seida gestatoria at 9:40 o'clock. He was preceded by a cortege of cardinals and bishops. His appearance was followed by the enthusiastic checring of the immense multitude, among whom were many distinguished foreigners, diplomats, Roman nobles, Knights of Malta and leaders of depu- tations, The entrance of the pope was announced Dby a musical blast from the silver trumpets. The interior of the vast basilica was elab- orately decorated with red and gold hang- ings, and there were four special tribunes or stands crected beside the altar for the diplomatic corps, the Roman aristocracy and the heads of thedifferent reigious orders. At the conclusion of the mass Leo intoned the Te Deum, which was chanted by the whole congregation. The pope, then reseating him- self in the sedia, and with the tiara on his head, blessed the multitude. He then re- tired into the chapel Delta Pieta amid pro- longed cheering. The pope has considerably health , and he itoned in a strong voice. Tonight the facades of St. Poter's and other churches and all Catholic institutions and a great many houses are brilliantly illuminated.

Mrs. Darihg's Claim. WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.:+An interesting case has been réporied to {He subcommittec on war claim, which recommends that Mrs. Flora A. Darling, who was arrested in New Orleans in ‘1864 by the military authorities while traveling under, a by General N. P. Banks, be awarded damages. Mrs. Darling was the wife of the confederate brigadier general, Edward 1. Darling, and was a New Hampshire woman. She had gone to New Orleans to attend her husband during his last fllness and was starting to return home when arrested. Ten thousand dollars in confederate bonds, $5,000 in the notes of Loulsiana banks and valuable Jewelry which she carried were confiscated. Mrs. Darling's clajm was for $15,683, but the committee ruled out the confederate bonds, sustaining the claim for the state bank notes and the jewelry. 3 ‘Woman have been received from or taken away by the malls. The revolutions in the South and Central American republics during the past year or two have enfailed considerable expense upon the Department of State in the way of cable messages. For instance, about $6,000 was expended during the latter part of the little incident in Chill. The correspondence was largely conducted by wire between this gov. ernment and its minister. The instructions given American representatives through the London legation alone during the past year exceeded by some thousands of dollars the appropriations for that purpose, while the legation in Brazil expended $4,156 last year, when only $1,800 was allowed by law. The disturbances in foreign countries necessitat- ing cable communications averaged during the past year over $2,000 each for the Ameri- can ministers. Where there was not money in’ the contingent expense account to meet these expenses the ministers advanced them, and now the Department of State Is asking for a deficiency appropriation of $49,000, mak- ing a total of $105,000, to.cover the extraor- dinary expense of our foreign missions last year. There is a prevailing impression that when a minister in a forelgn country receives a *gollect”” cablegram or telegrani, or package of any kind, he simply tells the person de- livering it to ‘charge it up to the United the uffragists. WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—The woman suffragists held a service today. Rev. Anna Shaw of Philadelphia conducted the meeting and delivered a sermon. Julla Ward Howe recited her “Battle Hymn of the Republic, and the respousive ervice was read by Miss Yates. There was a large attendance, This evening many of the pulpits in th city were occupied by ladies of the conven- varions States.”” On the contrary, minister or congul pays spot cash.

It would seem that this is a very unsuc- cessful and unpropitious year for the lobby and the corruptionists in Washington. Everything the lobby has put its hands upon has failed to succeed.

It 18 no less a scheme than the annexation of the territory lying west of the east line of Colorado, now what is termed the “panhandle’” of Nebraska, to the state ot Feb, count in Wyoming. The counties which would be afs fected by this proposed segregation are: Deuel, Cheyenne, Banner, Kimball, Scott's Bluff, Dawes, Sfoux, Box Butte and Sheridan. The reasons assigned for advocating such a novel plan are almost entirely confined to the irrigation phase in its bearing upon the future prosperity of the large area in- volved. The claim is made that the greater portion of the state of Nebraska is oblivious of the great necessities of the semi-arid portion of the state, that as a whole there Is no sympathy with the irrigation idea in the populous sections of the state, and that the western end of the state is left entirely to its own resources to work out its salva tion as best it can. It is a fact that Wyo- ming is as a state fostering and encouraging irrigation, and granting to the producers under that system of agricuiture the most favorable legislative conditions. There are many protective features to the Wyoming statutes, and the advocates of this plan urge it on the ground that the intercsts of this section of Nebraska are identical with those of Wyoming, while in many ways op- posed to the a ed conception of the in- ter of Nebraska a whole. They claim that from the situation of western Nebraska with ation to the great mineral fields of Wyoming, there will be found the fut markets for frrigated produce, and that it will be simply a step toward gelting into touch as between producer and consumer. The idea has found many warm advocates who are actively engaged in missionary work along this line, and no doubt exists that, whether eventually successful or not, the movement will assume tangible proportions before long. A number of speeches were made In favor of the annexation theory and it is even understood that steps looking legislation toward the are being taken. ne sary ATTRAC One of Nebraska's Flourishing Cities—1ts Contiguous Territory SIDNEY, Neb., Feb. 18.—(Special to The Pee)—With all the hard times that have pre- vailed in the eastern cities, western Ne- braska, and more especially Sidney, has en- Joyed its full quota of prosperity. While it is quite true that the farmers had a partial failure of crops the past season, and that money has been in inany cases stringent, they have weathered the storm and are now looking forward with brightest hopes to the coming season, and anticipate one of the biggest crops that has ever been harvested in the west, The ground is now in splendid condition owing to recent heavy snow storms, and there is adequate moisture. This is also a natural stock country, its win. ter grazing being better than a gold mine. More than three-fourths of the horses and cattle haye not had an ounce of grain or hay and no shelter, except the protection of the hills and valleys, and, notwithstanding these conditions, are hog fat. The problem of irrigation is yet in its in- fancy, but experiments looking to a_rapid solution of the mooted questions is finding many advocates. Time, means and money will be employed, artesian wells will be undertaken in various communities and everything done to place the farmers on a plane with Lis eastern cousins. Give us plenty of water in the months of June and July and no happler or more contented peo- ple will be found on earth than the sturdy heroes who occupy Uncle Sam's broad domain in Cheyenne county, and truly can it De sald that every farm will blossom like the ros: In 1892 wheat averaged twen to the acre, twenty-four, barley thirty, corn forty, all grains proportionately. The very best of building stone is found in lmmense quantities in_this vicinity. It is of a dolomite nature. It is hard, giving a spark when struck by a steel hammer, and has been freely used in the construction of all the large buildings here. The Union Pacific railway contemplates the bullding of a new depot in the spring, two stories in height, 40x110 fect. No better schools ¢an be found anywhere, and a nine months term is taught. Most all of the Christian denominations have erected elegant churches and are well sup- ported. All of the secret socleties are rep- resented in Sidney, have ample treasuries and large membership. The Masons Pythians and 0dd Fellows will erect thre magnificent temples shortly. Fort is one of the attractive city.

It was un- doubtedly of - ineendiary origin, but prompt response on the part of the fire department prevented damage o any great extent. The chief danger from the fire was in the probs abllity that it might extend to the art gal- lery, which is now used as the storehouse for the Columbian museum. Fecars for the safety of the art gallery were well grounded, for early in the progress of the fire flying brands alighted on its northeast dome and in a few moments that portion of the building was ablaze. Around the base of the small don at that corner of the art building is a tarred roof and some canvas, and upon this the flames made rapid progress. Some guards, however, climbed to the roof, and, clearing away the blazing canvas, threw it to the ground. The fire on the roof was then easily extinguished. Joseph Hallak, a fireman, fell from the roof of the Illinois building, but was seriousty hurt. The Illinols building sold recently for $1,650, and as only staff was burned from about forty-five on the east wing the damage is inconsiders able. ———- NEWS FROM HO.
