Chang. Ho thlnkB tho Intter's advice ab
solutely essential, though ho believes It
might bo advisable to appoint a third plen
ipotentiary for China and reiterates his de
nim for the appointment of Sheng, who
would be acceptable to tho powers. So fnr
as Chlng Tung Is concerned, tho envoys who
know him personally say that whllo ho Is

lieve he would be a satisfactory representn

LONDON, Jan. 14. The Odeum corre
spondent of tho Dally Mnll ends n heart
rending story of tho sufferings of railway
passengers snowbound on tho way o
Odesja. Tho blizzard, ho says, raged con
tinuously for more than 100 hours over the.
whole of southern Russia, lie describes the
gradual arrival of trains nt Rnzdyelnnl.'i
with hundreds of par.scngcrs from the north
who had entrained six days before.
"Thoy had been snowed In for live days,"
he continues, "and fight (ng among them
selves fnr tho scanty food supplies provided
nt tho railway buffets, Women nnd chil
dren wero h)stcrlcul from hunger, whllo
gangs of men battled with snow drifts
which wero Ihlrty-flvo feet deep In some
places nnd that, too, without snowplnws,
although theso would have been useless,
oven If they could havo been found.
Finally, some 5,000 pnssengers had assem
bled at Ruzdyclnnin. A regiment wns sent
from Kleff southward nnd 3.000 troops went
northward from Odessa with shovels. On
the third day the relieving parties suc
ceeded In cutting a passago for a couple of
trains, which started with 2,000 persons,
nftor n mad rush, the weakest going to tho
wall.

"Tho trains proceeded for eighteen hours,
nnd wero ngaln stuck In tho snow, unablo
to go clthor fnrwnrd or backwnrd. The
blizzard continued. Demoniacal fury
pro vailed,

weeping,
nnd all
the passengers cursing Hip
management, fainting and
The- trains were burled
pnsscd a horrlblo night.
When morning enmo a peasant volunteered
to walk six miles to tho nearest station
with telegrams beseeching assistance.
"Finally driven to d?spcrntlon, sixty pas
sengers, with Count Kapnlst, determined
to wnlk back to Odessa. Count Kapnlst,
with n fow companions, reached n point
where thoy wero enabled to secure sledges
und nil nrrlvcd at Odessa, although un
certain as to tho fnto of those they had
left behind. Meanwhile, Governor Schuvnl
off hod ordered a train nt sledges with
supplies, which, nfter herculean efforts, re
lieved tho two trains, It was found that
many pnssengers had had their arms nnd
legs frozen. Klght or ten thousand troops
uro now clearing tho tracks. Tho Btorm
has abnted and It Is thought the trnlns will
reach Odessa tomorrow. Corpses havo
been kept unburled for eight days, ns It
has been Impossible to bury them. Tho
conduct of tho railway companies Is con
demned." Tho Odessa correspondent of tho Dally

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jan. 13. The nrlt
lsh steamer Texan, Captain Lund, which nr
rlved hero from Colon, reports that when
sho loft Colon terror reigned among tho
Inhabitants around Panama In consequence
of nnothcr rebel descent upon tho city.
Heavy fighting began autsldo of Panama
on January 10 and continued fiercely
throughout January 11, when tho rebels woro
making n despcrnto attempt to get within
tho city. Tho government troops wero
Btrougly contesting tho advnnco of the
Insurgents when tho Texnn left. Captain
Lund says tho losses on both sides had been
considerable, though without ndvantngo to
either. Tho rebels had been largely re
inforced and wero well stocked with sup
plies. Two British warships had arrived at Pan
araa and nn Amcrlcn cruiser was momen
tarily expected. It appears, by reports,
according to tho Texan, thnt business In
Colombia Is at a standstill, with n gonoral
enforcement of martial law, and that tho
peoplo nro becoming disgusted with tho
government owing to Its failure, to crush
tho rebellion. Tho lighting Is now over .1
wido field nnd tho robcls havo becomo more
stubborn than over.
A dispatch to tho Associated Press from
Colon, dntcd Jnnuary 11, said that tho few
rebels who wero outside, tho town of Pan
ama had been driven to tho bush by tho
government troops nnd ndded that thoro
wns no cxtcnslvo revolutionary movement.

relative to the bill establishing a pension

of tho meeting place of tho next national

"As a member of tho cxccutlvo com
mittee I do not desire to express an opinion
ns tn how I will vote nt the meeting of

January 21. The situation probably will
bo changed by that time. Cleveland, how
ever, has not yot had n notional enenmp
"iicnt of tho Grand Army, nnd that has
been tho point uppermost In my mind. I
think nil sections should have a chance.
Thero is a largo number of members liv

would not havo an opportunity to intend si
national encampment unlcsn It were held
In their section of tho country. I believe
In looking out for the poorer membors of

LINCOLN, Jan. l3.(RpfcrUI.)--Tho week
opens without material change In the sens
orial sltuntion except tbnt tho various
plans for caucus action hnvo been sifted
down In successive conferences of tho prln-
ipal candidates nnd points of agreement and
llsagreemenl hnvo been mndo moro clear.
Vom tho result of theso conferences It
stnuds nut plain thnt nil tho candidates,
with the possible exception of ono or two
with small fnllowings, nro uuxlotis to sesuro
caucus action at tho earliest possible day.
An effort will doubtless bo mndo tomor
row night to bring about a Benntotial cau
cus on conditions acceptable to all candi
dates and republlcau members. Whether It
will ho successful or not Is problematic, be
cause of tho wido dllterenco of opinion re
garding tho conditions that aro to rule. A
good mnny of tho republican members who
signed tho three-fourths agreement nro now
n favor of a higher ratio nnd realize that
tho proposition of double voting Ib not
privileged nor designed to block a caucus,
but sololy with n view to placing all rnn-
dldatcs on n uilr footing, which Is mani
festly not possible with ono senator to bo
nominated nt a time, giving one enndldato
tho right of wny over all and making It
posslblo for him to dictate the selection of
his colleague or to provent anybody clso
from bclug elected during the session. Whllo
all persons interested appear to ho anxious
o cxpedlto nominations and election, tho
concensus of opinion Is thnt It may tnko
several days before n final agreement Is
readied.
AH KnrppiiNt Arp I'ronint lire.
All foreensts ns to tho strength of tho
cnndldntes or tho probable outcome of tho
contest urn premature. Fully one-third of
tho republican members up to this hour
havo kept their pcrsounl preferences nnd
probable vote n profound Kecrct, not so
much bccniiFo thoy do not wish to divulge,
tholr Intentions nnd convictions, but be
causo they have not mado up tholr mluds
Just what thoy will do. This Is especially
true regarding second choices. Whllo nearly
every member hi for Thqmpnolv Meiklejohu,
Roserrnter, Currlc, Crounso or lllnshaw, fow
of them hnve arrived at a posltlvo conclu
sion who the second mnn shall bo or who
would como after they have exhausted com
pllmentarles nnd redeemed pledges that
wero not expected to bo kept longer than
necessary for a respectful showing of good
fnlth. The only thing safe to predict Is
that tho election of nobody will bo put
through with n rush nnd n hurrah. Tho
Thompson contingent being on tho ground
and nt homo hns nn ndvantngo over nil out
siders, but tho field which Thompson con
fronts Is putting lu some effective work that
may seriously tmpedo his efforts to get un
der tho wiro ahead of everybody olse.

of. but up lo this tlmo ho hns onjoyed
only n strictly local reputation In politics
nnd Is known to very few politicians or
business peoplo outsldo tho membership
of tho last legislature, in which ho served
as a senator. Tho question very univer
sally asked Is, Who Is bohlnd him? If tho
old established Platte dividing linn Is to
be abandoned why Bhould Mr. Currlo hnvo
tho proforenco over Senator OwenB, Sena
tor Allen. Judge Klnknld, Norrls Drown,
,. B. Cndy, Judgo Grimes and half a dozen
other republican leaders who havo dono
yeomanry servlco for tho party In tho
past? Thu prevailing opinion Is, however,
that Mr. Currlo'n support will bo largely
complimentary, nlthough somn political
clairvoyants prnfesn tr seo lu his can
didacy an ondlesH chain that runs around
tho Union Pacific, Elkhorn nnd Durllngton
headquarters. Dut all thin Is speculative
and decidedly Improbable,
Tho Thompson men nro endeavoring lo
creato tho Impression that ovcryono who
signed his forty-thrco caucus call Is favor
able to tho Thompson candidacy, but that
Is far from tho fact, bb will bo moro
clearly demonstrated when tho balloting
begins. As this caucus paper was to ho
effoctlvo only whon nlxty signatures hnd
bcon subjoined, nothing definite Is likely
to como out of It because tho necessary
sixty cannot lie secured on thoso terms.

surprised If within tho next forty-eight
hours they explodu a fow bnmbsholls, It
Is whispered In tho hotel corridors that
thoy nro loaded with explosives that will
seriously disturb tho fellows tapping tho
Thompson barrel. It Is this smell of raw
material that attracts hungry and thirsty
pntrlotH to tho Thompson camp nnd em
boldens him to innke a demand for nil other
candidates tn stand hack until ho Is nomi
nated nnd elected.
Whon tho battlo Is over tho political
pawnbrokers will bo nblo to show several
windows full of unredeemed pledges. It Is
gradually beginning to dawn on tho avor
ago legislator from tho rural districts that
two bodies cannot occupy the same spaco

only n small per cent of tho offices that
