In two of the conven tions the delegates were instructed to vote for Thos. B. Reed. . " The Sixth congressional district of Nebraska is a part af the state politically as well as otherwise, and it is not too early in the cam paign of 1896 for the republican "big wigs' of the state to commit the fact to memory Kearney Hub, Senator Allen has introduced a bill into the senate providing that receivers for national banks be selected by the creditors of such in stitutions instead of being ap pointed by the comptroller ot the currency. In some instances this would work well; in others not. The happy finding of some old newspaper clippings furnishes new and valuable proof that at the time he Monroe doctrine was first given out the English press, which boasts of being largely inspired by the government, was unanimous and enthusiastic in its approval of the doctrine. We venture the opinion that in bur of the six Nebraska republican conventions which will be held to select delegates to the St. Louis convention, the friends of McKinley will be in the majority. One of the atest moves is to form a. McKinley eague, with a branch in every county. . The national association of American manufacturers will short ly meet in Chicago, and it is ex pected that -3000 manufacturers will be present. The association will demand restoration of the policy of protection, of rehabilitation of our merchant marine by a policy of sub sidies, and of a system of tariff that will protect all branches ot American industry. -- " o fr i i v If Ross It. Hammond desires the congressional nomination . in the Third district it . should be given him. Few men in the state have worked more vigorously for the success ot cue repuoucan parry than Mr. Hammond, and the nomi nation would be only a just recog nition ot his services. Mr. Ham mond is a man 'ot intelligence, a hard worker, and if sent to con gress would render his constituents efficient service. We are far re moved from the Third district, and don't have any say in the matter, yet we hope the people of that dis trict will recognize Mr. Hammond's lull worth. Official notice is given by the Turkish legation that the Red Cross society will not be permitted to dis tribute the money collected for the Armenians. The reason assigned is that when the hat was passed around some unkind remarks were made about the sublime porte. The assurance is givrn however. that "the subline porte will, as it has done heretofore, furnish neces sary relief." Heretofore the only relief furnished the poor Armenians was that found in death. The Christian world don't want the sublime porte to furnish any more of this "heretofore" relief. There is to much "hereafter" to it. Neither are the Armenians them selves, those left of them, hanker ing after his peculiar form of relief. Ex. Senator Hill says: I attribute many of the foolish blunders made of late in Washington by public men to the influence of women." Did women cause the flag of Hawaii to be hauled down? Did women cause the work ot the dark-lantern base ment commitee on tariff reform, which even the president marked as one of "perfidy and dishonor?" Did women sell out to the big trusts and speculate in stocks on Wall street? In what and when have the women raided the prosperity of the Nation and closed its work shops and put out its furnace fires? Senator Hill's party cannot hide behind the big sleeves of the women of Washington. The coun try would have had today millions of credit if the democrats of the Hill stamo had been banished from Washington and the women Inter Ocean. left.- UNITED ON EOEAKER. ALL THE REPUBLICAN REPRESENTA TIVES VOTED FOR HIM. t ' " - For the First Time Since the War Senator Sherman' Colleague 1VU1 Be a Bepab lican ExJGovernor Succeeds Calvin S. Brice. Columbus, Jan. 15. In the senate to day J. B. Foraker received 20 votes for United States senator, Brice 6 and George A. Groot (Pop.) 1. In the house the vote stood: Foraker, 87; Brice, 21; JohnH. Thomas of Spring field, 1; Mr. Gage, 1; Judge Blandin of Cleveland, 1; Lawrence T. Neal, 1, all of whom, except Foraker, are Demo crats. Foraker received the full Repub lican vote. Joseph Benton Foraker was born at Rainsborough, O., July 5, 1846, and is consequently 49 years of age. Like near ly all men who have become great poli ticians, ex-Governor Foraker is a law yer, and has been a very successful one. During the late war, though quite young, ho served in the union army with great credit to himself. He held many offices of trust iri his native state before his eletion as governor. He was talked of for president of the National Republican league some time ago, but declined the honor. Senator Foraker has a very interesting family. GIVEN AN. OVATION AT DES MOINES. Republicans Honor Tlieir Leader With a Fifth Term In the Senate. Des Moines, Jan. 16. The Repub lican joint legislative caucus met Wednesday afternoon. Representative Allen was made chairman and Senator Ellis nominated W. B. Allison for United States senator. Each speaker referred to Mr. Allison's fine record.and paid especial attention to the fact that SENATOR W. B. ALLISON. he is a very available candidate for the presidency. Every allusion to Allison for president was greeted with great ap plause by the members and visitors crowding the lobby and galleries. At the conclusion of the speeches, Mr. Allison received the unanimous rising vote of the caucus for the nomination and was declared the nominee. DEATH BREAKS THE LEGISLATIVE TIE. Claim That the Republican Congressman Will Be Elected Senator. Frankfort, Ey., Jan.12. The most touching incident in connection with the nomination of Blackburn by tho caucus last night was the Tote cast for Senator Blackburn by Representa tive Isaac Wilson of Nelson county. It was the last earthly act which he could authorize. The vote was cast by his lifelong friend, Senator George Fulton, while Mr. Wilson lay on his dying bed in room 93 at the Capital hotel. The death of Mr. Wilson breaks the tie in the legislature. The Republicans have sixty-eight votes and the Demo crats sixty-seven, and the Populists two. The Populists will vote for the Republi can nominee for the United States sen ate and that will, in all probability, insure the election of Dr. Godfrey Hunter, who was nominated by the Republicans this'af ternoon. Mr. Hunter is now in congress representing the Third district. WAR SPECTER IN A NEW PLACE. Now Said to Bo Hovering; Over the Dar- danclles. London, Jan. 14. While the destina tion of the flying squadron which is to be ready'for sea tomorrow and which is to sail next Friday is not yet officially announced, it is generally believed that its.destination is the Mediterranean. The Manchester Guardian, comment ing on the British naval preparations, Eays that considerable credence is at tached to the story that the flying squadron is more likely to go to the Dardanelles than to Delagoa bay, add ing: Emperor William's message came at just the right time to give the ministers an excuse for making preparations really intended to back their new policy .which will end tho Armenian horrors and bring tho sultan to his senses. The latest rumor points to aland invasion by Russia and a naval demonstration at Constantinople by Great Britain and France." FALSE REPORT ALARMS HAVANA. Reported That the Insurgents Were Ap proaching the City. Havana, Jan. 14. Qnito a sensation was caused in certain circles last night that insurgents were approaching Ha vana. The news spread -with great rap idity, and there was considerable relief among the Spanish authorities when it was discovered that the alarming report grew out of the explosion of an immense torpedo in the village of Yedado, near this city. There was very little news from the front this morning, and it was nil of an unimportant character.

EVENING, JANUARY 17, Highest of all in Leavening Absolutely pure COREA'S OXJSEi? ESCAPED DEATH. Recent Attack on tho Seoul Palace Part of a Plot to Restore Her. Shanghai, Jan. 14. The queen of Corea, who has thrice beeh-killed by ru mor, is still alive. The attack upon the Seoul palace recently is now said to havo been part of a plot to restore her. The failure of the at tempt necessitated the keeping of the secret of the queen being in ex istence, which is now for the first time divulged. QUEEN OF COREA. The king has all along been aware Drs. Allen of her hiding place, and Underwood and cans are accused of other Ameri being in the conspiracy to overthrow those m power. The story of her escape is as follows: When, in October, the Coreans and Jap- , anese broke into the palace to murder ; her, the queen, scenting danger, hid t hastily, without speaking to her women, and made her escape outside the walls of the city. When the Japanese and Coreans examined the charred bodies of the women who had been burned the Mug and some others shrewdly feigned that they had discovered the identity of the queen in one of the victims. The Japanese accepted tho ac count of the queen's death as true. Three Coreans were strangled last week as the queen's murderers, while the trial of Viscount Muru and other Japa nese officials is proceeding at Hiroshima for the murder of a woman who still lives.

The debate on the senate free coinage substitute for tho house bond biil was opened Friday by Senator Jones (Ark.) in a 2-hours. speech, which was followed with close attention by senators on both sides of tho chamber. He took strong ground for the free and independent coinage of silver, contending that that was tho only method by which the distress in the country could be alleviated and tho treasury department relieved from its present dependence upon tho specula tive holders of gold. There was no reply to his argument, but the debate will be resumed when the senate meets "again on Monday. , At tho conclusion of Mr. Whites speech, Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala.), form erly chairman of the committee on for - eign relations, introduced a joint resolu tion congratulating the republic oi the Transvaal in Africa for the stand of Ub nrrr Tphioti k had taken, and directing- the president of the United States to fcansmitthe action to tho republic of tho Transvaal. Rules Discussed In the House. Washington, Jan. 11. The housa gave its time Friday to the discussion of the proposed amendments of tho rules of the Fifty-first congress, which were provisionally adopted early in the ses sion to govern the house. MADE IT PLEASANT FOR HILL. Several Senators Touch Up Kew York's Senior Representative. Washington, Jan. 14. Senator Mor gan's speech on the silver bond bill was the event in the senate Monday? al though a sharp personal colloquy be tween Messrs. Hill, Pritchard, Butler and Allen enlivened the early hours. Mr. Morgan frequently addressed him self personally to Mr. Sherman, who sat across the aisle, and for two hours ar raigned the Ohio senator for tho series of financial acts with which he is identified. At times Mr. Morgan was bitterly personal. In the main, how ever, the speech was. a scholarly pre sentation of the silver question. Hill's colloquy with tho North Car olina senators brought out considerable discussion of tho New York senator's political consistency and was amusing to the crowded galleries for the sharp sallies and witty points during the tri- . angular debate. Debated Pension Appropriation Bill. Washington, Jan. 14. The house, after devoting an hour Monday to the consideration of business reported from tho District of Columbia committee, took up the pension appropriation bill. . Debate on the bill consumed the day. j THURSTON'S FIRST EFFORT. Junior Jfebraska Senator Advocates IJberal Pensions Washington, Jan. 15. The bond silver bill was further considered in tho senate Tuesday, but without apprecia ble approach to a conclusion of the de bate. Mr. Butler (N. C.) spoke for two hours in opposition to bond issues and in favor of silver legislation. The early hours of the session brought out an ex tended controversy over pension dis criminations. Senator Ledge sought to pass the bill granting a pension to the widow of General Cogswell, but Sena tor Allen lead a vigorous opposition, claiming that the widows of generals were being unduly preferred over the" widows of plain soldiers. The bill was finally passed. Mr. Thurston (Rep., Neb.; made his maiden speech in the senate in support of liberal pensions and eloquently por trayed the services of his deceased father as a plain soldier. He urged that the heroes have the amplest pensions. This bill (the Coggswell), instead of having its allowances reduced should servo to advance the allowance of all who served in the war. Mr. Thurston expressed satisfaction that his first words in the senate should be in support of a pension. Cnxnmings Creates a Sensation. Washington, Jan. 15. Tho house spent Tuesday in further debate upon the pension appropriation bill. The speakers, with a single exception, were all Republicans and all favored a liberal administration of the pension laws aud the adoption of the changes in the exist ing iav proposed by the bill. SPEECHES BY MILLS AND PEFFER. Texas Senator Slakes Frequent Direct Crit icisms of the Administration. Washington, Jan. 10. Senn tor Mills' speech on finance, with frequent direct criticisms of the president and secretary of the treasury, was the main feature of Wednesday's session in the senate. There was addsd interest in the speech from the fact that Mr. Mills has been prominent in the senate as a champion of the presidential policy. His criti cisms were temperate and dignified, the senator giving expression to his high personal regard for tho executive, al though differing from him radically on the question of financial policy. Mr. Peffer followed with a speech against the bonds and in favor of silver coinage. Pension Debate Continues. Washington, Jan. 1G. Another day was consumed by the house in dobate upon the pension appropriation bill, during the course of which the policybf the present administration towards the -veterans was scored by both Republicans and Democrats and defended by two br three Democrats. The most notable in cident of the debate was tho attack made by Mr. Grow (Pa.) upon, what he; termed the extraordinary attempt by the president and his clerks to encroach upon the mer-ratives of the legislative branch of the government. He de-' nonnced secretary Carlisle for sending a financial bill to congress and the action of tho president in having sent, the famous,letter to Mr. Catchings on the W ison bill just before vote, on. the bill, which ho said was an attempt! toinflaence the vote. Congress should j resent such encroachments upon, its prerogatives, Mr. Grow declared. J Republican Senators Thurston of Nebraska and Baker of Kansas, who have been commonly set down ip the silver column, prove to be only of the guarded type 6 sih'er men who want some recognition . of the white metal, but do not "accept the 16-to-l-or-nothing- propaganda. This is good news. . There is e;ery reason to beleive that there are "not more that a half-dozen, silver, ex tremists in the republican 'camp. Exchange.
