The members of the republican county central committee are re- spectfully called to meet at the court house, in North Platte, on Saturday, March 14th. 1896, at one o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of determining the man- ner of selecting delegates to the state convention to be held at Om- aha on April 15th, 1896, and for the transaction of such other busi- ness as may properly come before the meeting. A full representa- tion is desired, as important busi- ness reaching through the cam- paign of '96 is liable to come be- fore the committee. G. C. McAllister, Chairman. THE SIXTH DISTEICT. The Congressional Committee oi the Sixth Congressional district is hereby called to meet in the city of Kearney on Wednesda', March 11, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the transac- tion of such business as may prop- erly come before it. G. H. Cutting. Chairman. P. T. Lambert, Secretary. o The latest extended estimate of republican presidential preferences is one which is published in the Pittsburg Dispatch." It is based on telegrams from all the states and territories, and according to the Philadelphia "Inquirer," Sena- tor Quay says the estimate is fairly representative of the situation at the present time. This showing gives McKinley 335 votes on the first ballot; Reed, 215; Morton, 67: Allison, 80; Quay, 76; Cullom, 38; Bradley, 26; Davis, 22. with 18 scattering or undecided. The only chanjre Ouay would make in these figures is that he thinks McKinley s vote will not.gs above 300 on the first ballot, instead of the 335 which the 'Dispatch" gives him. The number necessary to a choice is 459, which would make McKinley lack at the outset 159 votes of the number required to give him the nomination. The one striking feature of the local situation with reference to the presidential preference is the strong sentiment among the masses for Major McKinley. The laboring men of Fremont who have voted the republican ticket in times past are, almost to a man, for the great apostle of protection and prosper- - ity. And there is abundant evi dence that many men who have not hitherto been voting the ticket who will hereafter do so and they are strong in their preference for Mc Kinley. If we mistake not there are j7et greater surprises in store for the enemy than they have had up to date in the eventful as well as fateful political occurrences of the past eighteen months. The laborer believes himself worthy of his hire and he is of the opinion that he will be hired if McKinley is elected. Fremont Tribune. THE SENATE NAVY BILL. The bill passed by the senate for strengthening- - the naval force of the United States is timely. The Brit ish House of Commons is consider ing, and is sure to approve, a budget in which the enormous sum of S109,-110,0- 00 is appropriated for the na val service. This is at an increase ot $15,610,000 over last year's esti mates. The air is full of rumors of wars, and the one way by which'the Uni ted States can avoid enforced par- ticipation in some of the possible struggles is through readiness to participate in them with proba- bility of success. The strong watch ful man seldom is assailed; the thief and bull' seek the weak, the timid or the unprepared; and as it is with men so it is with nations. The large armaments of Europe, are maintaining the peace of Europe If England were sure that Russia is unprepared; or if Russia were sure that England is unready, or were France certain that German' is ill armed, war would break out instan-te- r. The ability of each of the great powers to resist attack is the cause of freedom from attack. The interests of the United States now are the world-wid- e; mil- lions of United States capital are vested in Cuba. The Southern and Central American republics are full of citizens ot the United States who are engaged in trade, agricul- ture or manufactures. United States trade with China, Japan and other nations of the Orient grows apace. Hawaii is a possession that we cannot afford to permit under any European protectorate. In every quarter of the world we have interests that will be imperilled by the event of war between any ot the great powers and that will require protection. The naval force of the United States is its chief and cheap defense. The senate has done well in pro- viding for its growth and mainten- ance. Inter Ocean. ii f lux ftjf Cubans are not fighting" specially because of any recent and unusual oppression; it is the galling., chains that hung about their fathers and grandfathers and were welded on to their own limbs by Spain that they desire to break and unloose. They have resolved to do it or die. Is it any wonder that Americans, con- versant with their history, deeply sympathize with Cuba? They would not be the sons and daugh- ters of 1776 if they did otherwise. The difference between the Ro- man Nero and Grover is that the former can fiddle; Grover can't. He has no music in his soul.

CONG-BESS- DUT YDONE RESOLUTION FOR COMPLETE RECOG- NITION IS PASSED. Washington, March 8. Cuba libre had n field day in the house. Despite the war talk from Spain, the struggling patriots in Cuba were eulogized and sympathized "within a debate on Monday, and the rules were then suspended aud the resolutions by the house foreign affairs committee were adopled as a substitute by those of the senate by an overwhelming majority, 286 to 17. An aualysis cf the vote shows that 188 Republicans, 7 Democrats and 5 Populists voted for the resolutions and 9 Republicans aud 8 Democrats agaiust them. The debate which pre- ceded their adoption was animated and breathed a spirit cf liberty. The lesolntious were as follows: Resolved, By l ho Iioiife of representa- tives, tho somite concun ing, that in the opinion of cong-es- s a state of public wax exl-t- s in Cuba tho parties to which are entitled to bolligeient rights and the United Stntv should observe a strict neu- trality between tho belligerents. Resolved, 'Hint congtoss deplores the destruction of lifo and property caused by the war now raging in the island, and be- lieving that the only permanent solution of the contost equally in the interest oi Spain, the people of Cuba and o her na- tions would be in the establishment of a government by tho choice of tho people ol Cuba, it is the sense of congress that the government of tho United States should use its good offices and friendly influence lo that end. WASHiNGTOX,Peb. 2S. Ey the over- whelming vote of 64 to 6, the senate Friday adopted a concurrent resolution favorable to Cuban belligerency and in dependence. The resolutions adopted are as follows: Resolved, By the senate, the hou-- e ol representatives concurring, that in the opinion of congress a condi ion of public war exists between the government ot Spsin and tho government proclaimed and for sometime maintained by force o arms by tho people of Cuba; and that the United States of America should main tain a strict neutrality between the con- tending powers, accouling to each all the rights of bclligoreuts in the ports aud ter ritory of tho United States. Resolved, That the friendly offices of tho United Sintos fhnll be offered by the pres ident to tho Spanish government for tha recognition of the independence of Cuba. The vote on the resolutions resulted: Yeas, G4; nays, 6. The senators who voted in the negative were: Caffery, Chilton, George, Hale, Morrill and Wetmore. Overrides the First. Washington, Feb". The senate amendments to the army appropriation bills were concurred in by the Iioufo to- day and the bill was sent to conference. Mr. Lacey, chairman of public lands, then called up the bill to lease certain lands in Arizona for school purposes which was vetced yesterday. Tha bill was then passed over the president's veto by a vote of 200 to US. FOR AN INCREASE OF THE NAVY. Senate Bill Tassed Authorizing the Ad- - dition of 1,000 Knlisted Men. "Washington, March '6. The bill passed by the senate Monday for the in- crease of the navy attracted consider- able attention in view of tho tension over Spanish-Cub- a affairs. In explain- ing the measure Mr. Hale (Mc), who reported it from the naval committee, said that while he did not believe tho United States would be involve i in wat as a result of the present trouble, yel; he considered it desirable to give the president authority iu case of emergency to call out the naval militia and charier private ships for naval transports. Tho bill as passed authorizes the addition of 1,000 enlisted men to thcuavy, the en- listing for not more than two years of the naval militia forces in case of emer- gency and the chartering of transport ships in case of emergency. The bill passed under the rale aud by unanimous consent. Pass the Agricultural Hill. Washington, March 4. The senate gave most of the day to the agi-icultur- bill and passed that measure carrying $3,202,000, without material amend- ment. Aucthebill passed during the day changes the limitations of fourth class mail matter so as to free tho postal service from bulky articles heretofore sent free by the government depart- ments. Mr. Wolcott, in urging the bill, said roller top desks and electric motors were among the articles sent as mail by the department. Late in the day word came from the house that the error con- cerning the Cuban lesolntious had been corrected. In its corrected form tho house resolution is an amendment to that passed by the seuate. Debating tho Fee System. Washington. March 4. The honso spent the entire day Tuesday in debat- - j ing the amendment to the legislative appropriation bill to abolish the fee sys-- ) tern in the case of United States district attorneys aud marshals. The salaries fixed by tho amendment range from $2,000 to $5,000. The amendment was indorsed by almost every member of the judiciary committee. It was argued the amendment would reduce the ex- penses of the United States courts which have doubled since 1878 at least $500,000 for the first year aud result in stopping the pernicious padding of the business of the federal courts.

ATTACKS THE UNITED STATES CON- SULATE AT (BARCELONA. Spaniard Aroused by the .Action of the United States Senate In Determining: to Bccojrnlxe the Cubans as Belligerents. Squadron to Be Prepared to SaiL Barcelona, March 2. The fever of indignation and hate agaiust the United States which seems to take possession of the heart of all Spain over the action of the United States seuate in recognizing the provisional government of Cuba as belligerents and in calling npon Presi- dent Cleveland to nso his good offices with Spain to secure the independence of Cuba, culminated in violent scenes here Sunday and an attack npon the United States consnlate. The tronble did not arise out of the spontaneous formation of the mob which did the violence, but was the outcome of a pub- lic meeting which had been influenced by fervid speeches. The public demon- stration to protest against the United States senate's action was organized by the political leaders, including Repub- licans and men of all shades of political sentiment. Broke Away From tho Leaders. It was 8 o'clock in the afternoon when the meeting had assembled and there fully 15,000 people present, all in a state of high patriotic enthusiasm and ripe for any manifestation of the emotions which possessed them. There were ad- dresses by the orators provided for the occasion and the purpose of the meeting explained as one of protest against the recognition of the Cuban government as a belligerent power by the United States senate. The spirit of the crowd took fire and they set ont for the United States consulate. The leaders who had originated the meetiug seemed to have realized the serious consequences that might follow npou a demonstration that took this direction, aud they made every effort to dissuade the mob from its pur- pose. But their efforts were of no avail and the crowd set off for the United States consulate. The authorities of this city had, by this time, taken alarm, and a force of police was sent to the consulate. The excited crowd was not intimidated by this show of force from gathering at the consulate and shouting: "Long live Spain," and "Down with the Yankees." These verbal missiles did not long satis- fy the aroused passious of the mob and in a short time stoues began flying from the crowd, which broke a number of windows in the consulate. The force of police waited for no further manifesta- tion, but charged the crowd under the orders of their officers and roughly dis- persed them, woundiug several. So far as learned there were no fatal results. SPANISH AROUSED AT MADRID. Seem Determined to Go to War With the United States Forthwith. (Copyrighted by Associated Press.) Madrid, March 2. If one may judge by things that have been said and some of the things that were done Sunday, the Spanish people are enthusiastically determined to go to war forthwith with the United States and to speedily avenge the insult which, it is fancied, has been offered to the haughty pride of Spain the United States senate in determining to recognize the Cuban provisional gov ernment as a belligerent power aud to ask the president to use his good offices with Spain to obtain recognition of Cuban independence. Some of the or- gans of public opinion declares that tho bankruptcy of the Spanish government would not prevent the Spanish people from taking up the quarrel on their own accouut and fitting out expeditions and maintaiuiug themselves at their own expenso while combatting the in solence of the assertions of the United States. The day was characterized by many lnamiestations ot pnouc wratn and excitement and in Barcelona tho Spaniards have gone to the extreme of using violence upon the consulate of the United States and stoning it, breaking several windows in the building. JSo bodily harm Was done to anybody, ex cept to certain members of the crowd, which was charged by the police when the stones were thrown at the United States consulate. Spain 7akes Prompt Artion. Washington, Match 3. The Spanish government took steps very promptly o make amends to tho united btates or the outburst of mob violence at Bar celona. Ths action, and especially the act that it was taken immediately upon he news of the fact reaching the gov eminent, and without waiting for auy suggestion from the United States, doubtless will tend greatly to relievo the situation and prevent a serious outcome of tho mob's attack on our consulate. The intelligence of the disavowal by - t A 1 L A. topam readied me siaio uepariuitjui earlv this mornimr iu a caDlecrain from Hannis Taylor, United States minister at Madrid. The cablegram was dated yesterday, and says tho Spanish minis- ter of state has expressed deep regret at the Barcelona affair and has offered complete reparation. The dispatch adds that measures have been taken to accord the United States legation protection. Uombarded Mouiotombo. Managua, Nicaragua, Feb. 29. A government gunboat today threw 10 shells into the town of Momotombo, ou Lake Managua, which had declared for the insurgents. The inhabitants fled. No landing party has as yet been sent ashore from the gunboat. The town of Hagarote has been taken by a govern- ment force, which is now advancing on Leon. Three Children Cremated.

EEPUBLICAK COMMITTEE MEETING.
The members of the republicancounty central committee are re-
spectfully called to meet at thecourt house, in North Platte, onSaturday, March 14th. 1896, at oneo'clock in the afternoon, for thepurpose of determining the man-
ner of selecting delegates to thestate convention to be held at Om-
aha on April 15th, 1896, and forthe transaction of such other busi-ness as may properly come beforethe meeting. A full representa-tion is desired, as important busi-ness reaching through the cam-
paign of '96 is liable to come be-
fore the committee.G. C. McAllister, Chairman.
THE SIXTH DISTEICT.
The Congressional Committee oithe Sixth Congressional district ishereby called to meet in the city ofKearney on Wednesda', March 11,
at 2 o'clock p. m., for the transac-tion of such business as may prop-erly come before it.
G. H. Cutting. Chairman.P. T. Lambert, Secretary.
oThe latest extended estimate of
republican presidential preferencesis one which is published in thePittsburg Dispatch." It is basedon telegrams from all the statesand territories, and according tothe Philadelphia "Inquirer," Sena-tor Quay says the estimate is fairlyrepresentative of the situation atthe present time. This showinggives McKinley 335 votes on thefirst ballot; Reed, 215; Morton, 67:
Allison, 80; Quay, 76; Cullom, 38;Bradley, 26; Davis, 22. with 18
scattering or undecided. The onlychanjre Ouay would make in thesefigures is that he thinks McKinley svote will not.gs above 300 on thefirst ballot, instead of the 335
which the 'Dispatch" gives him.The number necessary to a choiceis 459, which would make McKinleylack at the outset 159 votes of thenumber required to give him thenomination.
The one striking feature of thelocal situation with reference to thepresidential preference is the strongsentiment among the masses forMajor McKinley. The laboringmen of Fremont who have voted therepublican ticket in times past are,almost to a man, for the greatapostle of protection and prosper- -
ity. And there is abundant evidence that many men who have nothitherto been voting the ticket whowill hereafter do so and they arestrong in their preference for McKinley. If we mistake not thereare j7et greater surprises in storefor the enemy than they have hadup to date in the eventful as wellas fateful political occurrences ofthe past eighteen months. Thelaborer believes himself worthy ofhis hire and he is of the opinionthat he will be hired if McKinley iselected. Fremont Tribune.
THE SENATE NAVY BILL.
The bill passed by the senate forstrengthening- - the naval force of theUnited States is timely. The British House of Commons is considering, and is sure to approve, a budgetin which the enormous sum of S109,-110,0- 00
is appropriated for the naval service. This is at an increaseot $15,610,000 over last year's estimates.
The air is full of rumors of wars,and the one way by which'the United States can avoid enforced par-
ticipation in some of the possiblestruggles is through readiness toparticipate in them with proba-bility of success. The strong watchful man seldom is assailed; thethief and bull' seek the weak, thetimid or the unprepared; and as itis with men so it is with nations.The large armaments of Europe,are maintaining the peace of EuropeIf England were sure that Russia isunprepared; or if Russia were surethat England is unready, or wereFrance certain that German' is illarmed, war would break out instan-te- r.
The ability of each of thegreat powers to resist attack is thecause of freedom from attack.
The interests of the UnitedStates now are the world-wid- e; mil-
lions of United States capital arevested in Cuba. The Southern andCentral American republics are fullof citizens ot the United Stateswho are engaged in trade, agricul-ture or manufactures. UnitedStates trade with China, Japan andother nations of the Orient growsapace. Hawaii is a possession thatwe cannot afford to permit underany European protectorate. Inevery quarter of the world we haveinterests that will be imperilled bythe event of war between any ot thegreat powers and that will requireprotection.
The naval force of the United
States is its chief and cheap defense.The senate has done well in pro-
viding for its growth and mainten-ance. Inter Ocean. ii f
lux ftjfCubans are not fighting" specially
because of any recent and unusualoppression; it is the galling., chainsthat hung about their fathers andgrandfathers and were welded on totheir own limbs by Spain that theydesire to break and unloose. Theyhave resolved to do it or die. Is itany wonder that Americans, con-
versant with their history, deeplysympathize with Cuba? Theywould not be the sons and daugh-ters of 1776 if they did otherwise.

RESOLUTION FOR COMPLETE RECOG-
NITION IS PASSED.
Washington, March 8. Cuba librehad n field day in the house.

tives, tho somite concun ing, that in theopinion of cong-es- s a state of public waxexl-t- s in Cuba tho parties to which areentitled to bolligeient rights and theUnited Stntv should observe a strict neu-trality between tho belligerents.
Resolved, 'Hint congtoss deplores thedestruction of lifo and property caused bythe war now raging in the island, and be-
lieving that the only permanent solutionof the contost equally in the interest oiSpain, the people of Cuba and o her na-tions would be in the establishment of agovernment by tho choice of tho people olCuba, it is the sense of congress that thegovernment of tho United States shoulduse its good offices and friendly influencelo that end.
WASHiNGTOX,Peb. 2S. Ey the over-whelming vote of 64 to 6, the senateFriday adopted a concurrent resolutionfavorable to Cuban belligerency and independence. The resolutions adoptedare as follows:

FOR AN INCREASE OF THE NAVY.
Senate Bill Tassed Authorizing the Ad- -
dition of 1,000 Knlisted Men."Washington, March '6. The bill
passed by the senate Monday for the in-
crease of the navy attracted consider-able attention in view of tho tensionover Spanish-Cub- a affairs. In explain-ing the measure Mr. Hale (Mc), whoreported it from the naval committee,said that while he did not believe thoUnited States would be involve i in watas a result of the present trouble, yel;he considered it desirable to give thepresident authority iu case of emergencyto call out the naval militia and charierprivate ships for naval transports. Thobill as passed authorizes the addition of1,000 enlisted men to thcuavy, the en-
listing for not more than two years ofthe naval militia forces in case of emer-gency and the chartering of transportships in case of emergency. The billpassed under the rale aud byunanimous consent.
Pass the Agricultural Hill.Washington, March 4. The senate
gave most of the day to the agi-icultur-
bill and passed that measure carrying$3,202,000, without material amend-ment. Aucthebill passed during theday changes the limitations of fourthclass mail matter so as to free tho postalservice from bulky articles heretoforesent free by the government depart-ments. Mr. Wolcott, in urging the bill,said roller top desks and electric motorswere among the articles sent as mail bythe department. Late in the day wordcame from the house that the error con-
cerning the Cuban lesolntious had beencorrected. In its corrected form thohouse resolution is an amendment tothat passed by the seuate.
Debating tho Fee System.Washington. March 4. The honso
spent the entire day Tuesday in debat- - j
ing the amendment to the legislativeappropriation bill to abolish the fee sys-- )
tern in the case of United States districtattorneys aud marshals. The salariesfixed by tho amendment range from$2,000 to $5,000. The amendment wasindorsed by almost every member ofthe judiciary committee. It was arguedthe amendment would reduce the ex-
penses of the United States courtswhich have doubled since 1878 at least$500,000 for the first year aud result instopping the pernicious padding of thebusiness of the federal courts.

ANGRY SPANISH MOB.
ATTACKS THE UNITED STATES CON-
SULATE AT (BARCELONA.
Spaniard Aroused by the .Action of theUnited States Senate In Determining: toBccojrnlxe the Cubans as Belligerents.Squadron to Be Prepared to SaiL
Barcelona, March 2. The fever ofindignation and hate agaiust the UnitedStates which seems to take possession ofthe heart of all Spain over the action ofthe United States seuate in recognizingthe provisional government of Cuba asbelligerents and in calling npon Presi-
dent Cleveland to nso his good offices
with Spain to secure the independenceof Cuba, culminated in violent sceneshere Sunday and an attack npon theUnited States consnlate. The tronbledid not arise out of the spontaneousformation of the mob which did theviolence, but was the outcome of a pub-
lic meeting which had been influencedby fervid speeches. The public demon-stration to protest against the UnitedStates senate's action was organized bythe political leaders, including Repub-licans and men of all shades of politicalsentiment.
Broke Away From tho Leaders.It was 8 o'clock in the afternoon when
the meeting had assembled and therefully 15,000 people present, all in a stateof high patriotic enthusiasm and ripefor any manifestation of the emotionswhich possessed them. There were ad-
dresses by the orators provided for theoccasion and the purpose of the meetingexplained as one of protest against therecognition of the Cuban government asa belligerent power by the United Statessenate. The spirit of the crowd tookfire and they set ont for the UnitedStates consulate. The leaders who hadoriginated the meetiug seemed to haverealized the serious consequences thatmight follow npou a demonstration thattook this direction, aud they made everyeffort to dissuade the mob from its pur-pose. But their efforts were of no availand the crowd set off for the UnitedStates consulate.
The authorities of this city had, bythis time, taken alarm, and a force ofpolice was sent to the consulate. Theexcited crowd was not intimidated bythis show of force from gathering atthe consulate and shouting: "Long liveSpain," and "Down with the Yankees."These verbal missiles did not long satis-fy the aroused passious of the mob andin a short time stoues began flying fromthe crowd, which broke a number ofwindows in the consulate. The force ofpolice waited for no further manifesta-tion, but charged the crowd under theorders of their officers and roughly dis-
persed them, woundiug several. So faras learned there were no fatal results.
SPANISH AROUSED AT MADRID.
Seem Determined to Go to War With theUnited States Forthwith.
(Copyrighted by Associated Press.)Madrid, March 2. If one may judge
by things that have been said and someof the things that were done Sunday,the Spanish people are enthusiasticallydetermined to go to war forthwith withthe United States and to speedily avengethe insult which, it is fancied, has beenoffered to the haughty pride of Spainthe United States senate in determiningto recognize the Cuban provisional government as a belligerent power aud toask the president to use his good officeswith Spain to obtain recognition ofCuban independence. Some of the or-
gans of public opinion declares that thobankruptcy of the Spanish governmentwould not prevent the Spanish peoplefrom taking up the quarrel on theirown accouut and fitting out expeditionsand maintaiuiug themselves at theirown expenso while combatting the insolence of the assertions of the UnitedStates. The day was characterized bymany lnamiestations ot pnouc wratnand excitement and in Barcelona thoSpaniards have gone to the extreme ofusing violence upon the consulate of theUnited States and stoning it, breakingseveral windows in the building. JSobodily harm Was done to anybody, except to certain members of the crowd,which was charged by the police whenthe stones were thrown at the UnitedStates consulate.
Spain 7akes Prompt Artion.Washington, Match 3. The Spanish
government took steps very promptlyo make amends to tho united btatesor the outburst of mob violence at Bar
