f THE OMAHA DAI LEGISLATORS IN N0 HURRY . Remaining at Home During the Recess and Oapitol is Deserted. SPEAKER MOCKETT ALSO IS LYING LOW Keya Paha County Man Surrenders to Warden of Penitentinry, but | Dented Admission With- out Papers. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LANCOLN, Jan. 12.—(Special.)—Very few of the legislators who went to their homes after adjournment Thursday have returned to Linecoln, though many of them are ex pected In tonight. Speaker Mockett an- nounted today that he would be ready to name the committees of the house “'Pdlv“— day He has been conspicuously absent from fhe haunts of the legislators since His elevation to the speakership chair. Satur- day night he ventured out and was %o be- sleged that he immediately made his escape home. ¢ In the meantime there is talk of proposed legislation rounds. some ar.endments to the child labor law. One change that will be insisted on, it is sald, is;an amendment that will compel children under 14 years of age to remain in school during the entire school yes as prescribed by the varlous school districts. Another is to bring the compulsory school law into harmony with the child labor law. ‘The latter law, as it now stands, requires the attendance of the child for at least twenty weeks In the year, while the com- pulsory scho8l law requires attendance two- thirds of the year. Searetary Davis of the Board of Charity and Correction sald that board would want several bills introduced. One of these will be to create a state parental school at Lincoln, the object of which Is to enlarge the work of the Home for the Friendless. This board also wants a bill providing pen- altdes for wife desertion. An act to prevent & county judge from giving marriage li- censes to Imbeciles, eplleptics and insane persons; another bill to provide matrons for the penitentiary and county jails where women are confined. What G. A, R. considerable going the Wants, The members of the Grand Army of the Republic were scouting around today to find some member of that organization in either house who would father a bill 'to prevent the desecration of the flag. Should this bill be introduced and passed it would mean that no business firm could use the fiag to wrap up geods. Three members of the Grand Army of the Republic, all past commanders, met yes- terday to confer upon the apointment of & member of that body as a member of the committee on soldiers’ homes. Tho man these will select will be recommended to Speaker Mockett. Captain Culver of Mil- ford, Captain Adams of Superior and Cap- tain Reese of Broken Bow made up the caucus, Governor Constder Appot * Governor Mickey o ents. is still busy looking r the fleld of appointments and made announcemeény today. Pending the an- nouncement of the -adjutant general, Gen- eral Colby will hold over. The governor expects to make the appointment to this place elther this week or the first of \next. There are six candidates for the place, Ouptain Holderman of York and Captain Phelps of Holdrege being the last an- nounced. The Kearney Industrial school wuperintendency still remains in doubt. Deputy Food Commissioner Bassett has consented to remain in office until May in order that the legislature may bave the bendit of his experience. A . ‘The State Printing Board expects to meet Wednesday and name its secretary. This place is held by L. A. Willlams of Blair, but there are a helf dozen who would like the place, It pays $1,000 a year and a man can gréw fat on the work. Discover More School Land. Land Commissioner Follmer has un- unearthed two pieces of land belonging to the state that had been lost sight of. These pleces comprise 160 acres. The books in the office of the commissioner have been carefully checked up recently and the mis- taken entries discovered. Breaking Into .Penitentiary. Another man has attempted to break into the penitentiary. This time it is Joseph Bouchet from Keya Paha ocounty, indictment for murder. He came to Lin- coln this morning with a letter supposed to be from the sherif{ of his county, rec- ommending him to the warden of the penl- | tentlary. He at once went fo the prison and gave himeelf up to the warden and de- sired to be locked up. Bouchet was sen- tegced to serve scven years, but pending a0 appeal to the supreme court was out under bond. After the transcript had been made his attorney advised him to drop the proceedings and begin his sentence. As Be was uot armed with the necessary com- mitment papers, Bouchet will be held as a guest at the prison until these arrive. Because the state's attorney failed to show. the value of a horse which Joseph Keller of Cheyenne county was convicted of stealing, Keller's attorneys applied to Judge™ Holmes this morning to release Keller on a writ of habeas corpus. Attorney for Keller, Mr. Berge, urged that the supreme court had held that such an omission Is fatal when coupled with the fact that the information did not fix the value either. The ecase was ome brought under a general statute making horse steal- ing & felony. The state insisted that h beas corpus was not the proper remedy, and that the defendant having failed. to appeal to the supfeme court was bound, the court having once secured jurisdiction over him. Mr. Berge contends that the information and verd'ct being Irregular, the court never had jurisdiction and that his conviction and sentence therefore were wvold. Judge Holmes took the matter under ad- yhsement om, Frank Clark sent to the penitentiary trom Douglas county for burglary, dled at the prison this morning of consumption. and the authorities are unable to locate is relatives-and do not know what to do th the body. Clark was sentenced for ve years and his time would have expired pext September.

May Raise Blodknde. ROME, Jan. 12.—Negotiations between the co-gperating powers relative to raising the blockade of the Venezuelan coast are pro- ceeding, the main point being the question of guaranties for the payment of claims should the warships be withdrawn. The Italtan Foreign office recognizes the correctness of the contention in Secretary Hay's last note that a continuance of the blockkde will only further impoverish Venezuela and make the settlement of the claims more difficult and is desirous of meet- ing the suggestion of the United States At the same time it cannot act without an | agreement with Germany and Great Britain. | As a solution of the question the suggestion is again mooted whether the United States must be asked to guarantee the payment of the sums awarded, now that the situation has sc completely changed. Cnstro Puzzles Germany. BERLIN, Jan. 12.—The Forelgn office here Is somewhat puzzled by President Castro’s last note. He avoids specific a ceptance of the powers' stipulations and | seemingly leaves the basis for a settlement as indefinite as in his preceding dispatch, agreeing generally to arbitration. The president’s reply has really not ad- vanced the matter at ali, but it is con- fidently supposed he has given Mr. Bowen full power of attorney. The State department at Washington ha advised the Foreign office that Mr. Bowen has sailed from La Guayra. Nothing more will be done from this side until Mr. Bowen arrives in Washington Bowen Is on His Way. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Mr. Bowen be- fore leaving La Guayra yesterday on Dolphin, dispatched a short telegram to the State department announcing his de- parture, but not stating what port he ex- pects to make In the’United States. The Navy department was informed that the boat would stop first at Kingston for coal. Inguiries at the State department as to whether or not answers had been received from the European capitals to President Castro’s last communication developed that the department now has nothing to do, di- rectly or indirectly, with the cxchanges which may pass between the powers and Venezuela. The functions of the depart- ment are said to have ceased when it brought the parties together and they must hereafter communicate directly. Pre- sumably Mr. Bowen will be addressed as | 1”0 0” Shfont Gemantl,” nithough it has the representative of Venezuela, and as he cannot be reached on shipboard, there probably will be a halt to the exchanges. Advices received here indicate that while Mr. Bowen comes fs'Venezuela's commis- sloner President Castrq has made it a con- dition that the bfockade shall be raised be- fore he procecds with the preparation of the protocol for the peaceful adjustment of the claims. Moreover, it now develops that In this request Venezuela is likely to have the support of Italy. The United States, though not a party to the negotiations, of course will throw the welght of its moral influence on the same side. The Ttalian govegnment is influenced In its course by, purely economic comsiderations. It does not desire to crush Venezuela simply to procure payment of claims. The contin- uance of the blockade by sapping the very life of the country threatens to make it impossible for Venezuela to pay these claims within any reasonable period, so that any judgment rendered against it by private ar- rgngement or by The Hague tribunal would be hollow and zimost without results. HOLDS BANQUET AT BEATRICE Dempster Manufacturing Gives Annual Function Company Honor of Stockholders. BEATRICE, Neb., Jan. 12.—(Special)— The fourth annual banquet of the Dempster | Mill Manufacturing ,company was held in Nichols' hall last night and was attended by nearly 200 stockholders and 'traveling men of the company, besides a number of invited guests: The culinary department was presided over by the women of the First Presbyte- rian church, and of the menu too much pralse cannot be given.

It is re- ported that the couple married in the be- ief that Emperor Francis Joseph and King Leopold would coutribute to their malnten- ance. In this, however, they were disap- pointed. The emperor gave the countess $25,000 a year, while King Leopold stopped | her former allowance of $10,000 altogether. | The countess consequently tried to meet all the expenses of malntaining her house- hold with one-fifth of her former income and found the task impossible. She used the influence of her daughter, Archduchess Elizabeth Marie, who is a fa- vorite with the Ausfrian emperor, to secure | additional money and to obtaln permiesion to reside in one of the imperial palaces, where she was out of reach of her creditors, She was granted the use of the palace at Hetezendorfl, near Vienna, but this priv- tlege expired upon the marriagh of her daughter to Prince von Windischgraetz on | The Crown Princess Stephanie of Austro- Hungary, widow of the Archduke Rudolph | and a daughter of King Leopold of Belglum, was married March 22, 1900, to Count de Tonyay, a popular diplomat of high stand- | ing in court circles.
