When the sen ate convened today Mr. Jones, of Ar kansas, offered the following resolution which was adapted: "That 'the secre tary of the treasury department furnish information in the case of Jorge Cruz, a resident of Porto Rico, alleged to have been broug'ht to New York under contract to labor in the United States, together with all correspondence in the case, and that he be directed ,to in form the senate what steps, if any, had been taken to prtosecuce, for vio lating the alien contract law, the per son, firm or corporation offering- the contract wit'h the said Cruz." The resolution offered by Mr. Allen directing the secretary of the interior to furnish information c'oncernng the lands of the Santee and Soux Indians was agreed to. Mr. Chandler asked that the resolu tion respecting the seating of Mr. Quay be laid before the senate. No senator was prepared to proceed with the discussion anid' Mr. Chandler con sented that it should go over until Monday'. The consideration of the Indian ap propriation bill was resumed. The d's cussi'on of -government support of sec tarian schools was precipitated by an amendment offereii by Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, providing that the secretary of the interior may make contracts with 'the present contract sohotols for the education of the Indian pupils dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901. Mr. Thurston, in charge of the bill, opposed the amendment. Mr. Jones made a strong appeal for the adoption of the amendment. He maintained that the United States' is morally bound to educate the Indian children, yet it failed to provide adequate school facilities. The Indian appropriation bill occupied the senate until adjournment. EASTER CARDS. PRAYER BOOKS AND HYMNALS. A NEW AND BEAUTIFUL LINE IN STOCK NOW. SEE THEM BE FORE YOU BUY. J. H.

A warrant was issued today for the arrest of Jim How ard, an .assessoTiof Clay county, eh'arg ing him wit'h the assassinatiloa of Goe bel. The prosecution claims that Howard was in Frankfort at the time of the murder, and left for the moun tains the next diay. It says tinat Howard exhibited to a detective a cartridge s'bell with the remiark: "Goe belites would give a fortune to know the history of that shell. It sent a big man to his last place 'but it took a long time to do it." The warrant was issued on informa tion furnished by Golden, Culton and Youtsey. Howard is in the mountains, and it will be almost impossble to ar rest bim. In addition to the warrant for How ard, one was issued for Sid Baker, as an accessory to the mund'er. No at tempt will be made to serve the war rant, as it would be "foolhardiness to go into Clay county on such a mission.

' CECIL RHODES WILL REMAIN QUIET Not Popular Just Now in Loudon. Lord Roberts' Inactivity and a Reason for It. London, April 7. Cecil Rhodes in tends to be as inconspicuous as pos sible, being entirely out of the public eye while (he is in London. This is a wise course. on his part, he being by no means a popular idol at the present moment in England. The fact that he is largely respon sible for the war is perhaps not ac counted to him as a crime but it is un iversally considered that he is guilty of an outrageous deceit of the British authorities in regard' to the Boer re sistance, or that he deceived himself in a manner entirely unpardonable. It is said that Rhodes feels keenly what he regards as ia lack of appreci ation for his efforts in Kimberley. THE LONG DELAY. London, April 7. Mutterinqrs are be ginning to be heard in many quarters about the prolonged British inactvity at Bloemfontein, which apparently has re sulted in the complete recov ry of the Boers from their temporarv disorgani zation, and encouraged 'them to assume the offensive. The real cause of the de- lay seems to be the lack of winter sup plies. The South African winter is se vere on Europeans who are unacclimat ed. and Lord Roberts is wisefly unwill ing to expose his men to its dangers un til they are fully equipped witn warm clothing and other necessities. Why The British war office 'should have been so supine as to allow such a state of affairs to exist-is uncomprehensible. But 5t is recognized here that Lord Roberts is acting-with true wisdom in not running l-the risk of having his movements ham pered by thousands of sick soldiers. No news of important developments anywhere in the field of the war were received today. IMURDER OF FOREIGNERS IN CHINA MUST STOP America England, Germany and France Unite in a Demand. fril '-?-A "sre-cial from Shanghai siays the American, British, German and French ministers have sent a joint note to the Chinese foreign office demanding the total suppression of 'the society of "Boxers" within two months and announcing: "Otherwise the powers mentioned will land troops and marcri into the interior of the northern provinces, Shan Tung and Chi Li, in order to secure the safety of foreigners." According to the same dispatch, the American, Italian and French legations are now provided with naval guards from a large gathering of warships at Taku Kun Yin!
