Lord, now let thy servant depart
in peace, "Maryland, my Mary

can senator, Hon. G. H. "Wellington,
present congressman, to succeed
Chas. H." Gibson after March, 1897.
The vote stood sixty-four republi

with tne gradually increasing
price of hogs and incidentally there
with that of corn, Nebraska will
soon be able to again hold her head
in the commercial world. TheJ
great reason for the depression of
times the-past season has not been
so much on account of a shortness
of crop as because of the very low

ing to issue a call for a national
convention to be held at St. Louis

The movement
is composed of malcontents
from
each the old parties who are thus
trying to force one or both of the
old organizations to adopt their
views.
Ex-Senator Paddock in a late
Washington interview expresses
the. opinion that if the United
States senate does not get down to
long daily sessions and prompt
votinsr upon measures, that it will
speedily fall under the ban of pub
lie condemnation. A great many
people have had this impression
for a number of vears. "Senato
rial tradition" is frequently, but
another name for senatorial senility
and the intusion of new and vigor
ous blood in the place of such lonr
distance talkers as Windy Vacu
um Allen will work a reformation
in that body which will redound to
the prosperity ot the nation.
Several local men of prom inence
of Champaign, 111., have decided on
measures of pressing a huge claim
against the government, and will
soon proceed to Washington in the
interest of the scheme. The claim
is based on the allesred assignment
thirty years or more ago to Charles
Durkee, then erovernor of Utah, of
over $60,000,000 worth of Union
Facinc bonds. Lt. C Ulaisdell is
he trustee for the heirs of Durkee,
and has spent much time and money
in the investigation of their claims
He says, the late Secretary Folger
admitted the existence of the assign
ment upon these bonds, and Blais-
dell says he has the best of legal
advice that the principal and in
terest, now amounting to nearly
5200.000,000. is recoverable for the
benefit of the Durkee heirs.

xcepting California and Utah the
states of the west, as far as regards
encouraarine immigration by the
best methods, have been taking a
protound sleep. Millions or acres
in the Dakotas, in Utah, Idaho

unbroken, and will remain so unless
those states bestir themselves.
great immigration convention
was recently held at Seattle, Wash.
and it resolved to ask the state to
appropriate $25,000 from the state i

bodies for generous contributions.

do much good. The people of the

HOUSE PASSES the pension bill.
Fifty
Says Ahead of Any Previous
Pen
slon Appropriation Bill.
Washington. Jan. 18. The house
Friday passed the pension appropriation
bill, to the consideration of which it has
passed the entire week, and then ad
jonrned until Monday. Mr. Bartlett
(Dem.) raised points of order against
all new legislation proposed in the "way
of amendments, such as that looking to.
making a pension a "vested right," etc.,
and Mr. Dingley, who was in the chair,
sustained them. In this way the clause
in the bill changing existing laws, so as
to allow widows to obtain pensions
under the act of 1890, whose net income
did not exceed 500 per annum, was
stricken out. Mr. Bartlett, however,
did not raise the point against the pro
visions making pensions under the act
of 3890, rejected, suspended or dis
missed and afterward allowed, to date
from their first application. It was an
nounced in the debate that a bill cover
ing the amendments ruled out would be
reported from the invalid pensions com
mittee. The pension, bill as passed car
ries $141,325,820, about $50,000 less than
the estimate. The bill was passed 50
days ahead of any previous pension ap
propriation bill.
Another Special Message.
"Washington, Jan. 18. The president
today sent a special message to the house
urging the necessity for immediate legis
lation to extend the limit of time withiu
which suits can be brought to annul
grants of public lands.
TWO PHASES OF MONROE DOCTRINE.
Senator Sewell of New Jersey Believes It
Has Been Carried Beyond Its Scope.
Washington, Jan. 21. Two opposing
phases of the Monroe doctrine were pre
sensed in the senate Monday one from
tne committee cn ioreign relations,
favoring a strong reaffirmation of the
doctrine, and another from Mr. Sowell
(N. J.), urging that the doctrine had
been carried so far beyond its scope as
to threaten dangerous consequences.
Mr. Davis (Minn.) presented the com
mitte report, as he is the author of the
resolution embodying the essential
features of all previous resolutions.
The silver bond bill was laid aside
temporarily, as no senator was ready to
speak. Mi. Piatt and Mr. Hale pointed
out the delay of the measures and Mr.
Piatt asked that a day be set for a vote.
Mr. Jones (Ark:), in charge of the
measure, declined to nx a time, as sev
eral senators were still to be heard.
Mr. Poller's bill concerning congres
sional funerals was discussed and re
ferred to the committee on rules with a
view to formulating a general rule on
funerals. Mr. Pngh's resolution for
silver payments of outstanding obliga
tions did not reach a vote, although
urged by its author.
House Does Little Work.
Washington, Jan. 21. The session o:
the house Monday was devoid of public
interest. Quite a number of bills o:
minor and purely local importance were
passed, as well as the military academy
appropriation bill.
Feo System Criticised.
Washington, Jan. 22. The house
passed the urgent deficiency bill. The
bill carried $4,415,922, of which $3,242,-
582 was for the expenses of United
States courts. The abnormal growth of
expenses under tho fee system of the
courts came in for a good deal of criti
cism and there was a general expression
in favor of a salary system.
Senate Passes Seventy Bills.
Washington, Jan. 22. The senate
put aside finances and foreign affairs
Tuesday and gave the day to work on
comparatively minor bills on the calen
dar. About 70 bills were passed, clear
ing the calendar of much accumulation
and leaving only important measures
pending.
CRITICISES CLEVELAND.
Says the Monroe Doctrine Has Been Mis
applied In Venezuelan Case.
Washington, Jan. 23. The senate
session Wednesday .was maricea ay
notable speeches and notable debates
Late in the afternoon a controversy cc
curred between Messrs. Sherman, Gor
man, Teller and others, which led to
the most spirited financial debate that
has occurred since the present congress
convened. Mr. Sherman spoke at length
and with great earnestness, deprecating
the thrusting of an "oldvonx out issue
the silver question into the senate at
a rime wnen practical legisiauon was
f , t? 1 1 T I
imperative. Messrs. Teller and Gor
man answered Mr. Sherman from their
respective standpoints, while Messrs
Aldrich, Lindsay, Gray and others took
part in tho existing debate.
Mr.-Wolcott's speech, criticizing tho
president's attitude on the Venezuelan
.question, was the notable event of the
early part of the day. For an hour the
senator commanded the attention of a
crowded chamber and overflowing gal
leries. Two important reports were
made by the committee on foreign af
fairs, one strongly presenting the serious
condition of affairs in Turkey and urg
ing prompt action oy tne cmhzed
powers and an adverse report on Mr.
Call's resolution calling for the official
dispatches of United States consuls in
Cuba.
The silver question, said Mr. Sherman
in his speech, was purely a moot discus
sion. No doubt there was a silver ma
jority in the senate. But the country
had settled to the idea that free silver
coinage would bring us to a single
standard of silver and was undesirable.
State after state had taken this position.
Why thus obstruct the relief impera
tively needed by the government. The
deficiency had caused tho trouble and
the house had offered an emergency
tariff bill to overcome that deficiency.
Mr. Teller responded with spirit. The
senator (Sherman) and his associates on
the Republican side, he said, offered no;
monetary system. They stood prac- j
tically with the people. The senator

"play of pohtics" it would affect bend
bills as well as silver. '

IN CHICAGO, JULY 7.
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
WILL BE HELD THERE.
It Toole Twenty-Nino Ballots to Beach a
Decision New York finally Threw Hex
Votes to the World's Fair City St. iLoui
Gets the Fopnlist Convention.
Washington, Jan. 17. The Demo
cratic national convention will be held
at the city of Chicago on July 7. That
was the decision reached by the na
tional Democratic committee, after an
interesting and at times exciting session
which continued until 11 o'clock last
night. There was considerable differ
ence of opinion as to the time for hold
ding the convention, one proposition ad
vanced by Allen W. Thurman of Ohio,
who held the proxy of the New Mexico
member, being on June 7, two weeks
before the Republican convention and
the other by Hugh Wallace of Wash
ngton state to hold it July 7. The
committee decided upon the latter date
by a vote of 32 to 18. The main inter
est seemed to center in the choice of
tho convention city. For this honor
there wero four applicants, Chicago, St.
Louis, Cincinnati and New York.
Thirty minutes was allowed each city
in which to present its claims. The
speeches, made by distinguished citizens
in each instance, were of a high order
of excellence and, at times, aroused the
greatest enthusiasm. The balloting be
gan about G o'clock, and from the first a
long and bitter struggle was indicate.
The first ballot resulted: Chicago, 6; j
Cincinnati, 11; St. Ltmis, 19; New York, ;
14. There was practically no change !
except a slight fluctuation of a vote or
two until the 10 th ballot, when Chicago
began gradually to inrrease her vote at
the expense of New York. At the 20th
ballot New York's strength was rapidly
disintegrating, her vote going almost
bodily to Chicago. But St. Louis,
which had tenaciously clung to her 19
votes, also capture! several of Cincin
nati's votes and on the ballet before tho
last led Chicago by one vote. On the
last ballot, the 29th, which was taken
shortly before 11 o'clock, the four re
maining votes of New York were
thrown to Chicago and she obtained tho
necessary plurality.
HAVE SETTLED ON ST. LOUIS.
Populist National Convention Will Meet
There on July 22.
St. Louis, Jan. 19. The hearing of
representatives of the different cities
which are working to secure the
national Populist convention that will
meet on July 22 next was continued at
10 o'clock this morning, when the
national committee reassembled.
Chicago was the first to present its
claims. As the chairman of the dele
gation from that city had not then
appeared, D. M. Fulweiler of Arkansas
spoke for the Windy city. He was
followed by Dr. H. Taylor, Eugene
Smith and F J. Schulto, representing
the business men of Chicago.
Mayor Holland made a very strong
plea for Dallas, and at its conclusion the
concensus of opinion seemed to be that
the fight for preference lay between
that city and St. Louis. This ended the
hearing, the committee going into ex
ecutive session for the purpose of dis
cussing attacks made by various news
papers and Populist state committees
on Chairman Taubeneck and other offi
cers of the national committee. A reso
lution was adopted expressing confi
dence in the executive committee and
urging populists throughout the country
to send in liberal contributions to sus
tain its work in the coming campaign.
The committee decided to hold tho
national convention in St. Louis on
July 22.

INSURGENTS ARE EXPECTING IT.
Recognition of Cubans by the United States
Said to lie Imminent.
St. Louis, Jan. 21. Tho Republic, in
summarizing dispatches from Florida,
New York and Washington, says: "A
crisis has been reached in tho Cuban
war. Recognition of the belligerency
of the insurgent army by the United
States is imminent. President Cleve
land is said to have prepared a procla
mation which may be issued today or
in the immediate future. Tho presi
dent, it is declared, intended to recog
nize the insurgents last week when ho
learned of the recall of Marshal Campes,
but under the circmnstances the execu
tive thought that such recognition
would be regarded inopportune and un
friendly to Spain, and he, therefore;
withhold the important document pend
ing the apuemtment of a successor to
Campos.
Within the past 48 hours, however,
President Cleveland is said to have
learned that Spain, de -pairing of a suc
cessful termination of the war, had of
fered to sell Cuba to Great Britain. Of
ficial information from tho White House
is lacking, but it is evident that serious
complications are at hand.

part in the United States, wires from
Washington: "Our case is complete.
