IB no stronger In the houeo than the Boxwell
ticket was today , when Hoxwell received flfty-

then Senator Hanna would have only seventy
votes on Joint ballot , and seventy-three are
nccwsary to elect. Notwithstanding the re-
wilts on the organizations of both houses ,
both pldcs Rcem equally confident In claiming
the scnntorshlp on Joint ballot ,
LEGISLATURE CONYHNES.
Tlio legislature convened at 10 a m. Owing
to the senatorial contest unusual Interest was
taken In the organlzatlcci of both houses.
It required an hour to examine the cre
dentials and Bvvrar In the 109 members of
the house , but the thirty-six senators soon
qu > illflcd.
All were prpsent In the senate chamber
except Senior Hurko of Cleveland , iho re
publican who Is opposed to Hanna. Senator
Volght , the fuslMilst from Cincinnati , vote !

elected all the ofllccra O D. Cassell , demo

would not support Hanna. As Sctiator Durko
was absent and could not bo sworn In ,
Thaddetis n. Cromlcy , democrat , vvaa
elected president pro torn ot the
senate , but It Is understood that
ho will give -niiy to Se , ator Brtke for

WILD SCKNB IN HOUSE.
The democratic organization of the senate
was completed In aery quiet waj , whllo a
detachment of polleemcn was ncedeJ to holt
baek the crowd that tilled the hall ot Kio
house and pressed about its en rance . Ii
the hall of the house the wildest scenes w <
wltnesb3d during the first hour of tr
slon. All of the 109 members were In t
sea's. After fie name of Hoxwell had !
presented as the rcguUr repttbllcin ca
date for speaker , the name of Roprcsentat.
Mason , republican , wis ptcsentcd by Rcprt
entatlvo Jones , republican , and seconded by
wo u'hcr republicans The democrats did
lot partlcliKito lu the speaking. As the ballot
iroceeded there were lend cheers as the
Joubtful members responded 'o their names
ind when the roll call approached the close
md Mason securcJ the necessary majority
: hcro was a long demonstration that delajcd
Iho ofllclal onnouncfment ot the \ote.
The first ballot resulted Mason , 56 ; Hox-
ivcll , C2 , as has been claimed since Saturday
night by the combined opposition to Senator
llaiina. The comblio then completed the or
ganization of the house.
There waa alsb much excitement over the
ilectlon of a tycakcr pro tern. Speaker
tlason had been all along openly opposed to
: ho re-election of Senator Hanna , but John
' . GrllHth of Union county had boon claimed
ty both sides. The _ Hanna men say thoj
lounted on him till he was nominated Sat-
arday night by the combine for speaker pro
; em. When Representative Grllllth cast his
rote In a clear voice for Mason for apcaker ,
hero was a wild scene and the excitement
: ontlnucd till Griffith was elected u > eaker
ire tern by the same vole as that for speaker
The regular republican candidate for chief
cleric of the house was John R. Malloy , sec
retary of the lepubllcan state committee.
Malloy has held the position three terms and
was very competent. Ills voice has been
heard at national conventions and ho was a
favorite , but ho was defeated by Charles II
Gerrlsh , a republican , who has been Mr
Kurtz's close lieutenant In the organization
ot the opposl'ioii of Senator Hanna. The
combine s'ate went through for all the minor
places by the tame vote of 50 to 53 , and
after the election of Gerrish the proceedings
were very quiet , maeiy rctliliiE from the
crowded lobbies and galleries.
DISPLAY ANIMOSITY TO nUSILVELL
One of the flrst things considered on the
assembling ot the general assembly Is the
appointment of a Joint committee on arrange-
incuts for the Inauguration of the Kovcinor ,
When this Joint resolution came up today In
the senate the republican senators as a rule
declined to vote on account of their opposi
tion to Governor Dushnell. The resolution
was adopted by the democratic side of the
senate chamber , assisted by Senators Shepard
and Welghtman , republicans , and Senator
Volght , fuslonlst. This action of the senate
caused quite a stir about the state house.
Senator Ehepard has been considered friendly
to those connected with the opposition 10
Senator Hanna , although ho stood by the
caucus nominations of his partj In the or
ganization and will vote for Hanna for sen
ator. The feeling on the republican sUes
of both houses was Intense. Senator Gar-
Meld vvaa clerk of the senate till It was 01-
Eanlzcd and ho was verj emphatic In his
utterances.
The result of the organization of the legis
lature again revived the rumor that the
Hanna men would combine with the gold
democrats for the election of Calvin S. Ilrlco
aa a gold standard man rather than have-
Mayor McKinson and Governor llushnell
elected for the long unu suuri icruis uo sim-i
republicans.
It Is conceded that Speaker Mason will dls-
posu of all the patronage of the house In the
Interest of McKloson and nushnell and
against Ilatina , and v.lth the state executive
administration also against Senator llanna ,
his defeat Is conceded , unless ladlcal
changes are made within the next week.
PROGRAM OF HANNA MKN.
It is stated that the Hanna men will to
morrow enter on another program which In
cludes visiting delegations from some conn-
tlca to hold Indignation meetings at the cap
ital to e-xpre > s a protest on the action of
eertaln republican members in voting against
their regular parly caucus nominees and In
proponing to remto the action ot the luut
republican state convention that nominated
Hanna tor senator.
Previous to the convening ot the legislature
thu democrats and antl-Hanua republicans
joined arms and marched from the Great
Southern hotel to thu State house , forming
quite a procrcslon , and during the noon re-
revs they went out together Joining In
luncheona and : various gathcrluga of jolHUra-
tton.
In the house some of the republican mem
bers , Including Mr. lloswcll , retrained trout

XD\V YORK , Jan. 3. Scnor Jcso do Rodrl-
gucz , mlnlater of the droller Hcriubllc of
Central America to the United States , will
not again represent his government In this
country , sa > s a Washington dispatch to the
Herald. Intimations that he will not be
acceptable to the administration , It Is said ,
aa\e had tlio effect of causing the Diet to
determine notjo appoint him. The Diet has
been given to understand that should Scnor
Rodriguez return ho would bo received per
sona non grata and his recall would bo re
quested. Senator Morgan has announced
that he would ask the president to declare
Scnor Rodriguez persona non grata , and If
the president declined he would agitate ttio
matter in the senate.
The objection of the president to Scnor
Rodriguez Is based upon his alleged actlco
In urging the Diet not to permit Nicaragua
and Salvador to receive William L. Merry
as the diplomatic representative of the United
States on the Ground that lie should bo
accredited to the Diet The Diet was fur
nished by Scnor Rodriguez with n copj of a
letter from Mr. Merry whlcn Senator Morgan
read lu the senate. In which Hio writer de
clared that ho thought British Influence was
constantlj at work against the United States
In Nicaragua and that Scnor RodrlRUe ? was
not sincere in the steps ho took In the
Xlcaraguan canal matter.
Senator Morgan's objection to Senor Rodri
guez is that he Interfered with legislation
In writing a lottcr to Secretary of State
OIncy for transmission to the senate , In
which lie criticised the Nicaraguan canal
bill. Scnor Rodriguez left Washington last
spring for Nicaragua , It has not been
decided who would be his successor.
MAY XOT SHXD HiEI'RESKNTATIVK.
Thcio has been eome talk that the Greater
lepubllc will retaliate by withdrawing its
? atlon at Washington In order to show that
It upholds Senor Rodriguez and to show- Its
Isapproval of tlio United States' action In
cfusing to accredit a representative to the
Diet. Slnco Scnor Rodriguez' depaituro
ienor Corca of Nicaragua has been acting as
: hargo d'affaire. The officials arc not show-
ng any anxiety over the the Diet's acts.
They say that upon the success or failure
if the revolution ofllclally icportcd to bo Im
lending In Salvador depends the continuance
if the Greater Republic of Central America ,
t is understood here that the Greater Re
public will require the troops of Honduras
nd Nlciragua to proceed to the aid of Gen
eral Gutierrez , president of Salvadoi , should
, hero bo a revolution.
"I do not believe there Is any danger of a
'evolution ' In Salvador , " said Senor Corea. "I
place the report on the same plane as reports
of prospective war between Costa Rica and
N'lcaragua , In which the Greater Republic
rtould aid President Gutlerrer. A rovolu-
lon against Piesldent Gutierrez' adnilnlstia
lion is a revolution against the Greatei Re
public. My reason for doubting the report
of an impending rebellion in Salvador Is
based on my knowledge of the way In which
Presldcit Gutierrez governs "

having been determined that It is not nccca-

WASHINGTON' , Jan. 3. ( Special Tele
gram } Commissioner nickford has retuincd
to Washington from a trip to New England
In the Interest of the Omaha exposition He
reports that the season was the worst possl-
Llo for Intioductlon of any new business In
that sectlcci. Not only were business men
and slulo officials Htisorbed in their holiday
diversions , but the latter were also en
grossed in preparations for the opening of
state legislatures in January. New England
tas never had an exposition of Its own ard
the average experience in connection with
such eiitei prises In other parts , c pccblly
einco that at Chicago , has not commendcl
them to the easterners generally. Neverthe
less the result of Blckford's mission wai
promising bcjond his expectations. Rhode
Island , which state produces moro exposition
nuteilal than any other like area on the ecu
tlneiU , Is very conservative lla business
men made no exhibit at San Tranclsco , At
lanta or Nashville. The legislature made an
appropriation of ? 5,000 for the last named
but only $1,200 of this was c pceided and that
In purely ceremonial luncuuus. uuiu.uui
Dver , to whom Mr. Dlcktord was Introduced
by Senator Aldrlch , was meet coidial and ex
pressed < i hcaity wihh to piomote the pur
poses In view. He believed personally in ex
positions and when he learned of the magnl
tutlo and scope of the transmlsslsslppl pro
ject , expressed his purpose to bend a special
message to the legislature on the subject , to
which end he asked that full Information
brought down to date be communicated to
him , promising to embody ft or transmit It
with his message. During the interview
Governor Dyer made arrangements by tele
phone with business men and officials , whom
ho wished Commissioner Ulckford to see.
Governor Wolcott of Massachusetts was no
ess cordial. Ho Inquired what other states
ere doing and was giatllled to know of the
nteiest which the leading authorities of
ommerclal bodies of Massachusetts had al-
eady manifested In the transmlsslsslppl en-
erpiiso. Ho asked Mr. nickford to come
o Boston later , vvlieu the legislature Is in
csslon , and appear before a legislative com-
ilttee , to which end ho promised to pave
ho way by transmitting a special message
mbodying the essential facts relative to the
ntcrprlse. Mr. Hlckford's next mission will
10 to Governor Ccoko of Connecticut , who
iaa signified a willingness to hear of the
Omal'a show ,
Henry M. Spcrry of Omaha was Inter-
lew cd this morning by the Post relative to
ho coming exposition. After lauding the show
o bo held In the Gate City too furhter Mid.
'The only feature of the forthcoming show
hat we were In doubt about was the an
exhibit. At first It seemed that wo vvoult
not bo able to secure an exhibit that would
con-ioro favorably with other departments
Vow , however , Instead of holdlJig off , artists
nro already preparing to send In their works
Thej at first declared that the risk of shipping
out to Omaha was too great , when the smal'
amount of advantage tLat might bo galnci
was taken Into consideration. A scheme was
lit upon , however , that lias proved an at
ractlvo cno. Instead of awaidlng medal
and diplomas and labelling this and that pic
uro "prize winner" all empty honois a
syndicate ot rich men has been formed to
buy a stipulated number of works offered
for exhibition kale. Disposal ot tholr work
will bo moro welcome to needy artists than
a .lundted medals and diplomas. A lire am
juiglar proof vault will bo built In the Ai
building for storing the moro valuable works
The success of Omaha's undertaking Is al
ready assured "

Those moro seriously wounded were car

after their Injuries had been attended to.
Tlio dead were taken to the committee
rooms of Alderman Parnoll , the defeated
candidate foi major , directly across the *

At the close of tlio polls a crowd gathered
In the city hall , where It has been the cus-
torn for jeais past for the successful candl-
datea to nildrcss the electors. The building-
was cioudcd to the very doors , probably
2,000 people being Jammed in a tiairow space.
There was a lull in the proceeding's , when
the audience called for f.ovoral newly electee !
aldermen at once and there was some delayt
In souring a speaker to address them. Alder
man Carrothcrs Joined the major In an of *

A largo safe stood In one cornet of the
