celled In having It read by utilizing odd

porlant pHrt of the work of consideration
to the rear. There will be an effort madn
to get throunh the bill providing for the
compensation Sf American fishermen whoso
vessels were seized previous to the arbi
tration of 1S93. Thin measure In In the
hands of 'Senator Fulton, who will press
It an an act of Justice to men who, he
think, have been discriminated against.
The pure food bill will remain In the
background for the present, not because
the friends of that measure hnve abandoned
It, but because they consider its chances
will bo Improved by not pressing: for Im
mediate consideration. They have been as
sured by the republican leaders that the
bill shall have first place on the calendar,
aside from appropriation bills, after the
statehood bill Is disposed of, and therefore
they will not antagonize the statehood bill
for the present. If at all.
Discussion of the statehood question will
begin on Monday with a speech by Senator
Morgan, and he will be followed by other
opposing senators. The present plan of
the opposition to keep the discussion
going until some of the appropriation
bills are reported and It becomes necessary
to take them up, or If this Is postponed
too long, to displace the bill with the pure
food bill. Falling In all these expedients,
they probably will seek a compromise. The
only real fight Is against the uniting of
Arizona and New Mexico, and there Is talk
of ellmlnntlng those territories entirely
from the statehood proposition. It Is be-
Heaved that if this were done the bill for
' admission or Indian territory and Okla
homa would be passed. Thus far there
, .. - Kaon rnnfmnp of nnnnslnar fac

would be llttla done to change the present

MAJORITY ENDORSES LEE
Douglas Canity Members Petition Speaker
oi Cities ant Tewns Chainnanhip.
BARNES WRITES LETTER TO ROUSE
Males Wns Lee's tunlestaat for This
Place, but It Is Believed Speaker
Will Be Gnlded by
Majority.
(From a Stall Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. . tSpecial Telegram )
Wh'le Speaker House hit made no official
statement of his Intentions, it looks as if
the chairmanship of tne house committee
on cities and towns, over which there has
been a contest, among members of the
Douglas county delegation, would go to
Michael Lee, It is definitely understood
live members of the Douglas delegation
have expressed their preference for Lee.
The hcuse members of the delgatlon met
In Omaha and Lee was endorsed by the
majority. This word has readied Lincoln
unci 11 Is understood the speaker will be
officially advised of this action in a letter
written by Chuirman Barnes of the dele
gation. . '
Muxen was the other Douglas county man
after this chairmanship. But Speaker
Rouse emphatically declared to the house
publicly and in private to Omaha members
that he would not start out settling con
tests. He advised the Douglas county men
that he would make the appointment of
chairman of this committee when they
had met and agreed among themselves
who should have the place, but that, of
course, if the delegation could not make
a decision he would, after awhile, be com
pelled to make the appointment.
This chairmanship. It was decided at
first, would go to some Douglas county
man owing to the Impending legislation
affecting the Omaha city charter. It is
the source of gratification all around that
the members have settled the contest among
themselves. Muxen, Clarke and Anderson
did not attend the meeting at which the
majority chose Lee.
tufting Down Employes.
The speaker spent the day hard at work
on his committees and late tonight had
not completed his task. When he reports
on employes, however, there is going to be
some surprises. There will be no assistant
and second and third assistant custodian
of committee rooms, assistant and second
and third assistant doorkeeper of the gal
lery. The speaker will see to It that these
sinecures are abolished. Another thing
the speaker will see to Is that the Jani
tors at the statehouse keep the statehouse
clean from top to bottom. During the aes
slon of the legislature the statehouse Is
under the control of the legislature, apd
there will be a shaking up of affairs In
general. The building will be cleaned from
top to bottom and every Janitor on the
payroll will earn his salary, and the legis
lature Intends to see to It that a head Is
selected to have charge of the Janitors.
Temporarily the State Board of Public
Lands and Buildings has appointed Land
Commissioner Eaton to look after the Jan
itors and make them responsible to him. It
Is Intended to enact, a law placing them in.
his charge. When the report about the
condition of the statehouse Is brought In,
It la said It will contain a clause telling
that too many people make It a practlco to
sleep In the building and that the' Janitors
who now sleep there will have to move out.
Busy Week Ahead.
The week following this one will be a
busy one In Lincoln. The legislature wilt
have the election of a United States sena
tor on Its hands and the people of Lincoln
will have fifteen or sixteen state meet
ings on hand. The first batch of programs
for these meetings has been exhausted and
more are being printed. Numerous In
quiries have b-?en received during the week
for Information regarding the meetings,
which la taken to mean that a large crowd
will be In attendance from over the state.
Talks to Stockmen.
Prof. George M. Rommel of the bureau of
animal industry, Washington, D. C, will
give a very Interesting talk, entitled,
"Economy In Hog Feeding," on Tuesday,
January 17, before the Nebraska state
swine breeders. There Is probably no ques
tion that Is of such vital Interest as the
proper feeding of hogs. It has been ad
mitted by experts that a large per cent
of diseases could be successfully pre
vented If the average stockman, who grows
hogs, would be more familiar with the
principles of economic feeding. Therefore,
every one who grows hogs should be In at
tendance to hear and discuss this valuable
subject.
Another interesting paper is that by Dr.
II. Jensen on "Tuberculosis in Swine." In
the last few years this disease has made
a steady advance and Is causing severe
losses among the growers of pork. It Is of
vital interest that every grower should be
familiar with the symptoms of this dis
ease and how to prevent It. They should
be thoroughly conversant as to how this
disease enters their herds and how dread
fully contagious It Is. This talk will be
demonstrated by a carcass showing the af
fected lesions.
Prof. F. D. Hall will give an Interesting
paper on "Plant Diseases." There is prob
ably no question that la of such great In
terest to the horticulturists as this one.
Thousands and thousands of dollars were
lost last year because the horticulturists
were not fully conversant on how to pre
vent certain plant diseases. Every suc
cessful fruit grower must know what It la
that destroys hia orchard or reduces his
fruit crop. This important subject will
be ably discussed by Prof. Heald, and will
be worth a great deal to the visiting hor
ticulturists. About Road Horses,
On Wednesday morning, January js
"The Profitable Roard Horse" will be dis
cussed by a government expert In anmial
housbandry. Following this will be a
paper discussing the "Breeding of Draft
Horsee," by Dr. J. H. Gain. This will be
followed by a demonstration showing some
good drcft Individuals. This la a question
that Is of great importance to farmers
for It does not cost any more to grow an
animal that Is worth many hundred dol
lars when matured than It does to grow
an animal that Is worth $50.
"The Modern Beef Animal and Its Pro
duction" will be ably discussed by O. E. !
Bradfute of Ohio. This gentleman has '
demonstrated to the American publlo how
this modern beef animal can be produoed.
for he has been growing some of the best
beef animals In the United States for the
last ten or more years.
Colonel W. A. Harris, who will address
the Shorthorn breeders. Is well known by
all the breeders and he will certainly have
something good to offer.
The winter corn show has offered some
very fine premiums. A number of fine
Implements have been offered by the va
rious implement houses for premiums.

SUSPENDED STUDENTS RETURN
Klngdon Gould Writes Letter to
Columbia Faculty Asking; Thele
Sentences Be Hemltted,
NEW YORK. Jan. 8. Following the re
ceipt of a letter from Klngdon Gould, ask-
! Irg clemency for the four students who
were suspended In connection with the at
tempt to seize him for the sophomore din
ner Just before the holidays, announcement
has been made by Dean Hutton of the
School of Applied Sciences of Columbia
university, that the disciplined men, Algelt
inger, Cauchis, Doty ai.d Finch, will be
allowed to return to their work at the re
opening of the university this week. Be
fore the announcement was made there was
a conference befween President Butler, the
committee of students' representatives and
the four suspended students. The purpose
of disciplining the four men was to make
plain to the students themselves and pub
lish the fact that hazing would not be tol
erated at Columbia, and that end, it waa
said, has been accomplished.
Klngdon Gould In his letter, asking that
the suspended men be allowed to return,
accounts for his peissessloh of the revolver,
which he fired to frighten off the sopho
moies, and expressed his wish to finish his
course on terms of good fellowship with
the other students of the university.
'Regarding the revolver, he wrote:
I nt times take long rides Into the country
after the college work of the day, usually
returning after dark. I frequently take
with me a pistol. On the day In question
I happened to Have It and when attacked
1 fired it In the air. so that by the sur
prise of the fellows. I might gain time and
opportunity to reach the Fraternity house,
where I was going to get my lunch. I had
not the slightest intent of doing harm to
anyone and never supposed the incident
would be taken seriously.

Slaughtering;.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 8.-Speclal.)-Mor-rla
& Co. will open Its new packing house
In Kansas City with appropriate ceremonies
tcimorrow. The new packing house Is the
second largest In the city and Is declared
by experts to bo an absolute model for
those who may build In the coming years.
Its cost complete was f',225,00, In spite
of the fact that nearly SO per cent was
saved by the firm doing Its own work
throughout, thus eliminating contractors'
profits.
One novel feature whl-i has attracted
considerable attention in industrial circles
throughout the country Is th freight depot
for the exclusive use of the firm, built into
the .plant and measuring 425x92 feet. Under
an arched roof run four railroad tracks and
two loading platforms, from which seventy
five refrigerator cars can be simultaneously
loaded. The firm also owna its switching
engines.
The power house also presents a novel
sight In that the boilers and machinery
ure placed thirty-one feet up In the air
out of reach of even a record flood like
that which devastated Kansas City in 19u3.
In addition to the ordinary packing house
accommodations, Morris & Co. haa pro
vided an entire building five stories In
height and measuring 4(ix64 feet for dressing
rooms, etc., for the 3,000 men who will bo
employed in the packing house.
The capacity of the plant Is 1,500 cattle,
3,000 hogs and 2,000 sheep a day. It covers
a ground space of six and one-half acres
and has a floor area of thirty-one acres.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8. The' British
steamer Zambesi, from Savannah to
Bremen with a cargo of cotton and phoa
phate, put into this port this afternoon
after a most eventful voyage, with Its
cargo of cotton on fire and with several
of ita crew sick. Captain Rooney of the
Zambesi reports that he sailed from Sa
vannah on New Year's day. The vessel
experienced very severe weather, all went
well, however, until January 6, when the
steamer struck a submerged wreck, which
broke the stem and stove In several of the
bow plates under water, causing the fore
peak to fill with water. The ship waa Im
mediately headed for this port, BOO miles
distant.
Heavy weather prevailed and furious
seas flooded the forward decks. On January
8 volumes of smoke were seen pouting
from the fore hatch and It waa evident
the cotton In the hold waa on fire. The
ahlp's hose waa quickly connected and the
fire waa soon under control. On Saturday
morning five firemen, who were asleep In
the forecastle, were discovered in an un-'
conscious condition from the fumes of the
burning cotton and phosphate. They were
removed from the forecastle to the steam
er's cabin, where they revived under treat
ment and were able to resume work this
morning. The steamer will discharge the
cargo in its forward holds and will prob
ably go into dock for repairs. It haila

GoTernor-Klert Adams Says the Dem

Fraud Was Committed by
It rpnbllcnns.
DENVER. Jan. 8.-A hot fight Is ex
pected in the senate tomorrow when the
nominations for Judges of the supreme
court made yesterday by Governor Pea
body come up for confirmation. The demo
crats held a caucus tonight and at Its
close declared that they would fight the
nominations to the supreme bench of
Bailey and Goddard with all their power.
They claim, moreover, that with the re
publican senators, Campbell end Dilong,
voting with them, they will be able to
prevent the confirmation.
The republican leaders declared this
afternoon that they had received personal
pledges from enough republican senators
to Insure the confirmation of the two men.
They were not over-confident of the Issue,
however, and admitted that there would
be something of u struggle before the con
firmation was received.
It Is Governor Peabody's present Inten
tion to contest the election of Governor
elect Adams. Under the law he cannot file
notice of contest before the fifth day of the
session, which will be tomorrow. He has
several days In which to file his notice
of contest, however, nnd ho may not do so
until after the inauguration of Governor
elect Adams.
The latter said today:
I do not know whether Governor Pea
body will make a contest or not, but I ex
pect that he will. I am In a much better
position for such a proceeding now. than
1 was two days ago. At that time the In
vestigation was confined by the court to
the city and county of Denver. Now it
includes the whole state, and I feel confi
de nt that the democrats can show as many
or more fraudulent republican votes In
the outlying counties ns the republicans
claim were cast by the democrats In Den
ver. I am certain of the result If the en
tire state is brought Into the contest, as It
must be If Governor Peabody decides on
such a course.

gram .of continuing the war to the bitter

heard Sunday in many quarters, the
foundation for it being ascribed to For
eign Minister Lamsdorff's alleged position
in favor of such a course on the ground
that, aside from the humiliation to mili
tary prestige Involved It would only mean
the relinquishment of Manchuria, to which
Russia Is already formally pledged. There
le no confirmation of this statement of
Count iAnisdiM-ff's position beyond the
general knowledge that lie alwaye hss be
longed to the peace party. It is quite
probable that th Mace talk gossip has
been produce,! by the arrival of foreign
papers, ss It revives no encouragement
