IS DISPLEASED WITH SHAW London Newspaper Criticises Speech M by Secretary of Treasury at Pittaburg. LONDON, April 28.—The speech of the United States secretary of the treasury, Mr. Shaw, at Pittsburg at the banquet April 2 n celebration of the late General Grant's birthday has thus far passed unnoticed by the London press, with the exception of the Globe, which is exceedingly wrathy at such a responsible politiclan “tickling the ears of groundlings with a epeech full of menace to America’s only friend among the powers of Europe. After quoting the speech the Globe continues: ‘We are not greatly concerned elther for the threat or the crude vulgarity which causes Mr. Shaw to apply it to a particular power, but what impresses us with a sense of American cadence {s the manner In which the absurd speech was recelved. Were an English minister of Mr. Shaw osition make a similar allusion to a orelgn power all the chancellories of Europe would be convulsed. But England heeds It not a whit and the rest of the world shrugs its shoulders and talks about diplomacy in nhlrlnl‘e\':p—- UPHOLDS JESUITS COURT Ret to Issue Summonses Asked For by Protestant AL e LONDON, April 28.—The efforts of the Protestant alliance to expel the Jesults from England under the act of George IV have again falled.

CALLS SMITH A DISGRACE TO THE ARMY Pennsylvanian emently Condemns the Methods Emploved and the Departare from the Re ular Rules of Army. WASHINGTON, April 28.—Representative Sibley of Pennsylvania created something of a seneation in the house today during the general debate on the agricultural bill by denouncing General Jacob H. Smith for the orders he issued in the Samar cam- paign. He declared General Smith was a disgrace to the uniform he wore, and he ex- pressed the hope that the president would strip him of his uniform within forty-eignt hours. Mr. Sibley's speech was enthusiastically applauded by the democrats and was re celved with some evidences of approval on the republican side. The speech was con sidered the more remarkable in that it came from a republican who left the dem- ocratic party on the issues raised by the Spanish war and who since has been aa ardent expansionist. Mr. Willlame, demo- crat, of Mississippl, indorsed what Mr. Sfb- ley said Curtis Defends Funston. Mr. Curtis of Kansas made & brief but fer- vent defense of General Funston against the criticlsm to which he had been subjected. “The people of Kansas," he began, “are proud of the brave and daring record of gal- lant Fred Funston. (Applause on the re- publican side.) He has been criticised here for an act, which for daring and conception and execution, ranks with the greatest feats of arms—he captured the new Georgo Washington—Agulnaldo. “It another had accomplished what Gen- eral Funston did,” he sald, “the democrats would have made him their candidate for president.” He called attention to the tact that his promotion had been recommended by General Wheaton and General McArthur, “‘both soldiers of the civil war, soldiers who knew more of war and rules of war than all the politicians in this country combined.” “And his commis he added, ‘“‘wi signed by the greatest president we have ever had—the soldier, statesman and mar- tyr, Willlam McKinley." (Applause.) Mr. Sibley, republican, of Pennsylvanla, sald he had been an expansionist and de- fended the policy of the administration in the acquieition of the Philippines. Duty and honor, he sald, juetified our position there. The commercial welfare of the nation demanded that we should control that archipelago, which stands as the gate- way to the oriental world. Sees Vislon of Herod. He then continued: When [ have heard the statements made that we were cruel in the conduct of that war 1 have thought, perhaps, the partis was speaking. But when I have read, as 1 have within the past forty-elght hours that a general wearing the uniform of the army of the United States, one who stands under the shadow of .our flag, Is- sues orders not to conciliate a province, but to leave it a_ howling wilderness an: to Kill all above 10 years of age, than {t seems to me that humanity must have marched backward for elghteen centuries and that Herod again appears. 1 have read of Timour, the Tartar; I have read of Achilles, 1 have read of the Saracen scourge, but I thank God that since the traglc scene on Calvary It has taken eighteen centuries to produce a Smith. 1 have read of the water cure. I belleved that it was exaggerated. Can any man whose blood pounds in his pulses, any man who has read his Bible or who has been reared at the knee of a Christian woman, justify the perpetration of such cruelties’ Upon another man who wears the gulse and the image of his Creator? And yet we hear this man at- tempting to justify acts by which men are pumped o full of water as nearly to drown them and brought back to life by thumping them over the stomach with butts of muskets. That is not civiliza- tion; that is not Christianizing the world, Wants Smith Discharged. T hope the president of the United States will have the courage, upon what the man admits, to discharge him dishonorably from the service that he has dlsgraced. (Ap- plause.) The conference report on the Chinese exclusion bill was adopted without debate. This sends it to the president. IS FUGITIVE IN MEXICO Ex-Councllman of St. Louis is Locked WASHINGTON, April 28.—The state de- partment has had some correspondence with the government of Mexico respecting the case of ex-Councllman Kratz, who is Louls, charged with bribery. The man at the department's {nstance locked up at Guadalajara, but as the offense with which he is charged is not onme of the offenses named in the treaty as subjcet to extradi- tion, the department has been trylng to procure his delivery to the Missour! au- thoritles as a matter of comity. A considerable obstacle has been encoun- tered in the shape of a polite suggestion of the Mexican authorities that they will do this, but only upon the understanding that the United States government will re- ciprocate in kind when the occasion arises. This is an embarrassing condition, im- possible of fulfillment, for no American court could deliver a fugitive from Mexican justice I his offense s not set out In the extradition treaty. It is thought an effort will be made to secure the punishment of Kratz by Mexican courts If he cannot be returned to Missouri. ST. LOUIS, April 28.—Chief of Detect- ives Willlam Desmond and Detective Thomas McGrath will leave tonight for the City of Mtxico to bring back Charles Krats, ex-city councilman, indicted for bribery and a fugitive from justice, who Is under arrest at Guadalajara, Mexico. Chief Des- mond will carry letters to the American association at the City of Mexico, and it is believed that when the St. Louis officers reach the Mexican capital all will have been arranged for the surrender of Kratz.

(From a Staft Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, April 28.—(Special Tele- gram.)—"Fences on public domaln are to come down on July 1 sald a gentleman who had a talk today with President Roosevelt 0 matter how much pressure is brought to bear on the interior depart- ment 1 am fully satisfied that the president will not permit the order of Secretary Hitchcock to be modified,” sald The Bee's informant Tomorrow the delegation of &tockgrow- ers who have been here for nearly a week, headed by Bartlett Richards of Ellsworth, Veb., will be presented to the president by Senators Dietrich and Millara. Mr. Richards will ask the chief executive to postpone the removal of the fences untll late in the fall and it will be Interesting to note the result of this request In view of the statement above. Today Messrs. Richards, Modisett, Hill, Ferdon and Harris, representing the big cattle growers of the west, finished their hearing before the house committee on public lands. Acting Chairraan Mondell acked Mr. Rich- ards If it would not be well to attempt epe- cific legislation for Nebraska, providing the delegation in congress from that state could unite on eome measure. Mr. Richards said he had been contemplating such a bill, in view of the opposition that seemed to exist against a general land-leasing bill and hie assoclates had about concluded to ask for relief along the lines suggested. Shallenbarger Declares Himwelf. Representative Shallenberger, who ls a cattle owner himself, when asked if he would favor such a measure, said: “I woull object to any plan of leasing the public domain that doesn’t have in it its essential feature a homestead or homebuilding idea. I am opposed to any bill which contem- plates that because a corporation or indl- vidual having large private holdings should therefore be entitled to lease corresponding large tracts of government land, as this would tend to perpetuate the owning of the public domain. 1 would favor a measure for the leasing of public lands in small hold- ings sufficient to eupport a man and fam- ily, and it is well known it requires a larger number of acres to support a man west of the 100th meridian than east of it. “A bill along these lines or similar ones, leasing the school lands In Nebraska vo wettlers has proven entirely acceptable and the state has withdrawn all itse school lands from sale, preferring to lease rather than sell.” Delay in Opening Rosebud. Senator Gamble stated today that an agreement had been reported whereby the Rosebud treaty bill, opening the lands in Gregory county, 8. D., to settlemont, would be tuken up at the close of the morning business tomorrow and he had no doubt as to its passage. “From papers received here,” said the semator from South Da- kota, “somebody has a misconcej ‘lon as to what is still to be dome before the presi- dent lssues orders opening the land to ser- tlement. Before the order can be lssued a bill must pass both houses of congrees and become a law. This has not been accom- plished. After that the secretary of the interfor must have the lands surveyed and monumented. Then the president will issue his order opening the reservation to settlement. At best the order cannot be issued before summer and it may go until fall. Rosebud reservation is thrown open to the public.” Lincoln is to have a practically new public building, and if Supervising Archi- tect Taylor's plans are carried out it will be colonlal In style and will occupy the center of the postoMice park, instead of in the unsightly place it now occuples. Just as soon as the public bullding bill becomes a law Supervising Architect Taylor will probably go to Lincoln and look over the situation, With a view of giving Nebraska's capital a bullding such as it deserves. Mr. Burkett has had a number of conferences with Mr. Taylor and he is enthusiastic over the prospects for the new bullding, which he belleves can be bullt for $300,000, the amount the omnibus bill carries. Why Plattamouth Was Left. Explaining why Platisiaouth was left out of the bill, Mr. Burkett sald: ‘“The com- mittee on public bulldings and grounds passed a rule that they would not approp:i- ate money for a public bullding in citis that had less than 10,000 inhabitants unless the site had been previously donated or it was headquarters of a revenue collection district, or seat of a state university. Plattsmouth occupled nome of these posi- tions and so it could not get an appropria- tion. I labored earnestly with the com- mittee in bebalf of Plattemouth and filed a brief that was voluminous in character, but the rule shut me out. ‘Better luck next time' Is a motto that may be ap- plicable here."” Senator Alllson has returned from Iowa, where he went on private business. He Is enthusiastic over conditions as he found them. He sald that the country was in splendid shape and big crops of wheat were | promised unless something unforseen should interfere. “‘Politically,” he said, “Towa s in a grand condition and just as soon as the congressional conventions are over you | will see the old state trying to outdo the victory of 1901."

This movement has mot been unexpected, and the general expres- sion is that it relieves the governor's friends from much embarrassment. The for- mal announcement is as follows “‘Executive Chamber, Lincoln, Nebraska “It now seems to be the proper time to announce as final my decision in regard to being a candidate for renomination for the office of governor. consideration of the “After thoughtful matter 1 have concluded it best not to fur- ther embarrass my loyal friends and more especlally my par'y by remaining longer in the field, thus standing in the way ot some one who could bring more peace and harmony into the convention, ‘In my offcial capacity 1 have tried to give the state an honest, strong and eco- nomical administration. Looking back over the r already spent as Nebraska's chief executive,I would not, had I the power, chanke one important officlal act. “My action in commuting the sentence of J. 8. Bartley met strong disapproval of many, most of whom are less conversant with the facts than I and to most of whom I glve credit for honesty in their opinfons. 1 now state frankly that with all the results of that act before me, I would commute his sentence today were it still undone. “‘Fully appreclating the honor of being the governor of a great state, and of hav- ing the opportunity to serve the people through many avenues, under existing cir- cumstances T hereby announce myself not a candldate for office. “Hoping to see some strong, republican nominated and elected as my sucecessor, and, ‘with malice toward none and charity for all,’ I am, respectfully, “E. P. BAVAGE™ Expected to Come Later, While the climination of Governor Savage from the lst of candidates before the re publican state convention was hardly ex- pected at this time it is known that con- siderable influence has been exerted wpon him by political friends and iofinential party leaders to bring about this result, which was confidently expected would be accomplished before the time set for the nomination. Ever since the pardon of Bartley wi nounced the republican press of the state has been almost unanimous in declaring that the governor had by that aetion made his nomination politically impossible and the decided stand taken by many of the most outspoken party organs indicated that vven if nominated he would lack the hearty support necessary to election. Not- withstanding the adverse conditions Gov: nor Savage had up to within a very few days repeatedly reiterated his intentlon to stand before the convention and ask an en- dorsement of his official record. His origl- nal announcement of his candidacy . made nearly a year ago, within a few months after he had succeeded to the exe- cutive chair, vacated by the ~romotion of Governor Dietrich to the United States senate. Stories Which Following upon his release of Bartley, Zossip was rife that the consideration had been promises of political support from people interested in Bartley's freedom, in- cluding certain large railroad corporations. When it became apparent that these prom- ises were not to be fulfilled intimations of & new campaign upon the fssue of rairoad taxation came from the executive mansion, but while the plan outlined was disclaimed by the governor as coming from him, he yet expressed “his sympathy with the idea. Another story was to the effect that Bart- loy and his friends would startle the state on the eve of the republican convention by honorable Have Been Rife, | paying into the state treasury the cash, the $200,000, for embezzlement of which he had been convicted, relying on the momentum of the reimbursement to carry the gover- nor into unapimous remomination. T! this story was the work of more or le fervi® .naginations was plainly discernible all the time, and is clinched by the gov- ernor's withdrawal. What effect the new turn will have on the political chessboard 15 not easy to fore cast. People here think the atmosphere will be clarified noticeably within the mext few days. Five or six aspirants for gov- ernor are already In the field and may be expected to increase their activity. None of the county conventions have yet been held and only & few have been called. The state convention is set for June 18 and is sure to precipitate a brisk competition for Governor Savage's succession. BRINGS PACKERS INTO COURT General Missouri Se- Aguinst Them in Supreme Court.
