WASHINGTON , Dec. 18. ( Special Tote-
gram , ) George D. Mclklejolin of the Third
Nebraska congressional district has announced
hlii candidacy for governor , letters to a larg *
numljcr of his frlcnda throughout the ptato
liavlng been sent out vosterday to that ef
fect. Mr. Melklcjolm lias been In receipt of
a great mnny letters urging him to allow
his nnmo to lie used In connection with the
gubernatorial office , but until now has been
able to resist the siren. The pressure became -
came too pronounced , however , and ho Is In
the race to the finish. He announces that
ho will not bo a candldato for rcnomlnatlon
to congress , In view of his determination to
run for governor. Melklcjolm seems to have
a big following , In view of all the letters
that Invo been pouring In upon him since
The Hco re\lcwed the candidates mentioned
for theplace. .
A new complication tro ; today In the Caucus
of republican senators , Information having
been conveyed to that body that the demo-
cratii were undecided \\hether they would
yluld committee organization to the rcpub-
llcans , In view of the changed condition of
affairs In the last twenty-four hours.
NOT WILLING TO HCTIKU.
Ileforo the icceptlon of the president's
meisigo tba democrats had expressed a de-
lro to linve the republicans go nhcid with
the orginl/atlon of the senate , as they wcro
willing to admit their Jig was up. Now , In
the face of the warlike attitude of the Amer
ican people , ai expressed by the president ,
they are not at all amlouo to yield control
of the senate and the jcus of republican
senators was so In formed ? " " It placed an en
tirely new phase on the situation , und doubt
li expressed It the senate's committees will
ho agreed upon until after the Christmas
holidays A democratic senator said todny
that his party would probjblj agrco to the
republican organization of the committees ,
but would opppouo uonale leorganlzatUm of
officers. The situation Is embarrassing , to
say the least , .md It li piotty hard to pre
dict what the outcome will be In the face of
the deslro on the part cf the democrats to
control the committee on foreign relations ,
which will have considerable work before It
tills KC jlOll.
A delegation of Cubin sympilhuers called
upon Senator Allen today and presented a
lengthy argument that this government
should recognize the belligerent rights of
Cubans Allen was much Impressed with the
arguments advanced by Horatio S. Uubens ,
counsel to the Cuban republic , and gave no-
tlco that Immediately after the holiday re
cess ho would call up hlb resolution recogniz
ing the belligerent rights of Cubans , and
would endeavor to secure Its passage.
HOUTU FOR STODIJAKD'S UOAD.
Senator Allen Introduced a bill today Brant-
Ing ii right of way to the Sioux City & Omaha
Hallway compiny , through the Omaha and
\VlniKbigo Indian reservation , In Thurston
county. The road , which Is Stoddard B pro
ject , and one- that has been greatly talked
about as a popullstlo enterprise. Is to begin
at or near Decatur , Hurt county , running
soulhweit through the reservation mentioned ,
The usual saving clauses are. made a part
of the bill and the manner of appraising the
lands of the Indians set out at length. Ten
miles of the road li to be built within three
years and the remainder completed In five
years. A right of way 200 feet wide Is pro
vided In the bill , with land for spurs , side-
trucks , terminal and depot purposes stlpu-
"A communlcitlon has b n received by the
member , of Iho Iowa delegation from the
Board of Supervisors of O'Brien county. lovva.
calling attention to the peculiar situation
there through the decision of the United
States uupremo court In th * matter of the
land grant to the Sioux City & St. Pau lall-
road. The decision wipes out the title or
the railway company to the lands In ques
tion , and virtually restores them all to the
public domain. The supervisors call atten
tion to the fact that the lands have been
sold , settled and Improved , and that under
the state law taxes aggregating $53,101 have
been levied and collected. Under the state
law , too. It would apppear that the county
may bo compelled to refund the taxea It h.is
Improperly collected. The supervisors , llieie-
fore , ask the Iowa delegation to assist in
securing legislation or executive action which
will make the taxes already paid or to fall
duo Hens on the real estate , so that the
county may not bo embarrassed and the
schools crippled through the decision of the
court.
GUSHING ON THC CROWD.

General Wanamaker'a private secretary. Is

MTAHTIIY'S UlStJ IN TOIlTUNn
Do jou remember McCarthy McCarthy
who ued to sell fruit under the Union
National bink at Sixteenth and Dodge
Mrrctft ? Thin was several years ago , but
many Omnha people will recall the excel
lence of 1 IK California fruits and the fresh
ness of his nuta and his limo lemonades , Mc
Carthy left Omaha and moved to Washing
ton some four } cars ngo and established him
self In the tropical fruit business here. He
didn't rush haphazard Into any old place
that was vacint , but took things K'lsurcly ,
watchfO trade , waited for his opportunity , go
to speak , and then one day modestly opened
a fruit store near fifteenth and F streets.
He had western push , western enthusiasm
and a knack of dlsplaving hi * lusclous-huod
peachcK , grapej and pears , and he "caught
on , " as the saying Is. Orders begun coming
In from the wives of supreme court Justices ,
forclKn ambassadors' wives began patronizing
McCarthy , senators stopped In their car-
rlagci to take home come hot house grown
fruit , and In a little , while McCarthy was
the fad. Ho Is today , yet does not forget
to pcal < In kindly tones of Omaha ami Its
people , congratulallng himself , however , that
he left "Omaha just In time" to catch on
here , where he does thr > biggest retail fruit
business of any of the dealers.
It Is surprising how Jealous the actors on
the national stage are of their iiosltlons In
ofllchl life , JiH't as much so. ns those npon
the mimic stage. At the bend of the list of
patronesses of the Princeton University Olee ,
Hanjn and Mandolin club" , which gave an
entertainment Monday eveningat Melzeron
hall , everybody observed the name of Mrs
Fuller , wife of the chief justice , followed by
the wives of the other justices , and preced
ing Mrs Olney'8 name. It was somewhat
startling , but a member of the cabinet circle
laid that the arrangement of names was ab
solutely correct according to the order of
precedence which has been established within
the p.-U't decade. He further said that there
was rrally a great deal of feeling on the
subject among tha leading members of the
administration. It Is astonishing that grown
up women should tnko this matter to heart ,
as many of them do , but what Is still more
remarkable lu that the husbands of these
women generally share In the feelings of
their wives
PERSONAL MENTION.
Congressman Strode left for his horn * in

Melklcjolm Is undecided whether he will go

WASHINGTON , Dec. 18. The greater portion
tion of the time of the ciucus of republican
senators today was devoted to a discussion
of the Venezuelan question as presented by
the president's message This matter was
brought up In connection with a renewal
by Senator Lodge , In the shape of his sug
gestion of yesterday , that congress do not , in
view of the critical state of affairs , adjourn
for the holidays until the committees arc
completely equipped for action. In case ths
necessity for action should arise. After a
large number of speeches. It was decided
that there should bo no adjournment until
the committees should be > perfected Sena
tor Mitchell , as chairman of the caucus com
mittee , was authorized to present the view
to the democratic senators , and Impress upon
them the necessity for speedy action In
making their committee assignments.
Among who made speeches were : Senators
Lodge , Teller , Chandler , Platt and Tryo
AH the speakers spoke of the situation as
grave. Senator Lodge dwelt upon the cs-
peclU necessity for having the foreign re
lations committee In full working order.
Senator Teller presented the view that the
problem which the messigo presents was
too berloiis for hastening action In any way ,
and Intimated that a delay until after the
holidays would do no great harm. The
opinion was very General , ho-vever , that con
gress should be fully prepared for and make
Its on n Investigation.
It was suggested that England might ac
cept the president's utteiance as an ulti
matum and proceed immediately to push her
troops Into Venezuela , nnd it was asked what
the United Slates would do In that event , In
case the question should be still tied up In
the hands of a committee. There was some
loference to the bill passed in the house , ap
propriating money for the proposed commis
sion , and the opinion was expressed that the
bill should go lo the committee.
The caucus Instructed Senator Mitchell to
Inform the democrats that they would bo
grinted full minority representation on the
enlarged committees as heretofore on all
committees. A change was made so that a
select committee may have charge of the
Nicaragua canal bill , nnd relieve the foreign
relations committee , which will be much
occupied during this session. The chair
manship and two other places will be as
signed to the democrats , the other four places
to republicans , Hawley , Mitchell of Oregon ,
Squlu- and Sew oil. The democratic chair
man of the Nicaragua committee will prob
ably bo Semtor Morgan of Alabama.

jears of service , he became messenger , and
finally assistant doorkeeper , or assistant sqr-
Reant-at-arms , the latter two offices being

WASHINGTON , Dec. 18. Interesting now ,
because ot Germany's prohibition of the Im
portation of American cattle. Is a report
Just Issued by th Agricultural department
of the corn disease of cattle and Investi
gations of a disease apparently Identical
with tables. The Invcsllgatlon shows con
clusively thai 11 is not a lung disease , is
nol communicable , and Is not even of
a bacterial nature. This absolutely refutes
assertions which have In recent years been
made to east much discredit upon American
cattle , It blng claimed , among other things ,
that the disease Is Identical with the
broncho-pneumonia sometimes found in cattle
after ocean transit.
So far as is known the cornstalk disease
oniy affccls caltle1 which have fed upon corn
stalks aa they stand in the fields The report
says It has never been shown that American
cattle found affected with broncho-pneumonia
In Curope had thus eaten cornstalks and
they could not have fed In that way for three
weeks prior to slaughter. Concerning the
discovery of a cattle disease llko rabies com
mon In the west , the report sajs the dis
covery may lead to the suggestion of ap
propriate preventive measures. It Is probable
that further inquiry will show that this
myslerlous dlseas" arises from the bites tit
dogs or some wild animals affected with It.

Secretary Herbert Much Aiiuo > o < I.
WASHINGTON , Dec. IS. It Is learned at
the Navy department that an article which
Is going the rounds of the press Is causing
the secretary some annoyance by Its state
ments , although probably the article was not
so Intended. It concerns Secretary Herbert's
Christmas presents and of models of battle
ships being sent to his house as playthings
for his grandson. The publication also states
that a model Is bslng made of every ship In
thenavy. . The only foundation for the arti
cle Is that models of the different classes of
battleships are made and have been for some
tlmo past , about one every year. These are
deposited In Ihe Navy department and none
of them have ever been In the secretary's
house. Miss Herbert has not been In Wash
ington for six months and no grandchild of
Secretary Herbert's ever saw ono of the
models. The publication Is wholly imagina
tive. _ .

SAN FRANCISCO , Dec. 18 A broken fish
plate was the cause of the wreck of the Al-
lantlc and Pacific express on the Southern
Pacific , near Tow les yesterday. Although a
Pullman and a tourist car left ths track and
rolled down an embankment nobody wns se
riously Injured. Had the cars gone off ths
track fitly feet before reaching the spot
whcie they were derailed , or flfty feel west ,
of Ihe place , nothing rouid have pre
vented them from rolling over the precipice *
to the bottom of Ihe American river canon.
The road In that mountain region winds and
twists In a hundred curves along steep em
bankments. Only at Intervals Is there suf
ficient width to the roadbed to prevent a car
from rolling Into the ravinss , If they are de
railed. ClwiJes H. Mclntosh of Plttsburg
was a pas-jonger In the Pullman car. He
says that Ihe passengers had n warning that
something was wrong. The car ran along
the cross ties for a moment This alarmed
the passengers. The car fell on Us side Inlo
Iho snow. It slipped over the DHOW nnd
rolled half over aboui ihlrly. feel below Iho
Irack , ngalnsl a little hill. The car did not
appear lo ba damaged very much ,
