The State Journal correeponJeat nas been a constant viaitor in the house during the present session, has closely watched the work of Mr. Buikett, and submits the following answers to the questions: 1. Mr. Burkett has attended to busi ness, both night and day, and ha been present at every roll call except the few days he spent in Nebraska. 2. Up to March 4 he had by special work secured the allowance of 233 pen sions for constituents in his district. At the end of the session the number will be far in excess of 300. 3.

Mr Rosewater has taken the pains to enquire of the supreme courts of the several states of the Union how many of them have ever cited an ed itor to appear and answer for con tempt, as a result of criticism of the court's actions, says the Fremont Trib une. He finds that the supreme court of the United States in one hundred and eleven years of its history has never yet taken newspaper criticism enough to heart to call before it any raw or ribald editor to give a reason for his sentiments toward the court. He also finds that in only three other cases in the supreme courts if any of the states has such a thing boon done. It is therefore to the credit of tho su preme court of the state of Nebraska that it has done something entirely unique in its citation of Mr. flosewater to come into court and explain why he should not be judged without recourse. It may be that the supreme court of this stute does not rank high in its de cisions, but it promises to engage in n new field of jurisprudence, in which its decisions if not altogether trustworthy will at least be conspicuous for their novelty. Charles 11. Dietrich, republican candidate for governor, met a large number of our citizens last Tuesday. Mr. Dietrich is a pleasant eontlernan to meet, and evidently made a very favorable impression in Plattsmouth. He is a first-class business man and one who gets near the people, and every indication is that he will receive a large fusion vote. His own popularity, coupled with the dissatisfaction with our present executive, make his elec tion all but assured. He will visit this city again later in the campaign, when he hopes to meet many more of our citizens. The Beatrice Express says: Con gressman Burkett has a good press agent in F. A. Harrison, and he has made such an excellent record that the enthusiasm of the latter gentleman is natural. Mr. Burkett is a very good speaker, and has attracted attention in debate, but he is most useful as a worker, and workers are always better than speakers. Burkett has been es pecially a friend to the veterans, and has always been active In defending the Interests of his district, and of Ne braska in general. General Otis says that reconstruc tion in the Philippines has already begun in several of the provinces. He states that outside of Luzon there is a decided tendency for the better every where, and everybody is anxiously awaiting the time when the American methods will operate without fear of Interruption.

The peculiar disease which prevails in St. Louis and renders men unfit for police service 6eems to rage with greatest virulence among the million aires. Indeed, the fashionable clubs are practically deserted now, espe cially about the time when the sheriff is around looking for men to press in to the draft. The declination of Herman Bidder, editor of the New York Stuat-Zoitung and a prominent leader among Ger man republicans, to accept member ship on the board of trustees of the college of the city of New York as tendered him by Mayor Van Wyck, is based on ethical grounds. He thinks a newspaper man should hold himself free to criticise everything. According to the Chinese minister at Washington, the real name of the "Boxer" organization is 'Ve Ho Chuan," which means "righteousness, harmony and fists."

CAMPAIGNTDUNDER Senators Ungated In Manufac turing a Supply. BACON STARTS A WARM DEBATE, In Which Pettigrew, Hanna and Car ter Take the Lead. lteiiiaikable Statements Mad a and Denied with More Than Km. phasis Alleged Contri bution by Cramp. Washington, June 0. A tornado of partisan debate swept over the senate yesterday with Hanna, IVttigrew and Carter the chief figures. For sensa tional criminations aud recriminations, for bitter iHTSonalities and for poig nant invective the debate exceeded anything heard on the floor of the chamber for many years. The lie was not passed directly, but the truthful ness of statements was challenged very sharply. Bacon precipitated the scene by repeating a charge made sev eral days ago by IVttigrew that Cramp, the Philadelphia shipbuilder, had contributed $400,000 to the Re publican campaign fund iu 1S'.)2, with the understanding that he would be reimbused by contracts for the con struction of warships for the govern ment. Carter's Reply to I'ettijrrew. In reply to Pettigrew's charges Car ter said: "Isaw now, and there are sen atorson this floor who will bear me out, that any charge that contributions were received to be reimbursed through the medium of the government con tracts, or that any promises were made to coronations or to individuals is absolutely false and can be branded properly only as a lie. Money was re ceived by the committee, but only through voluntary contributions. In that campaign the party was defeated and the country paid the penalty of that defeat." I'ettigraw's Charges In Full. I'ettigrew insisted on replying. Said he: "I made the statement that a con tribution of JM0,0m had been made by Mr. Cramp to thcKepuhlican na tional committee in 18!2 and that lie was to be reimbursed for it with con tracts for additional warships. My au thority for the staineut is Mr. Cramp, himself. He told me, not in confidence, as I believe, on an ocean liner com insr across the Atlantic. He did not know where them oney bad pone and bad employed detectives to find out. lie intimated that it had not been used for canipaisrn purposes. Moreover," continued IVttigrew, his words almost hissing through the chamber, "I have said the same things to the senator who was chairman of the Republican national campaign committee of that vear and he waived it oft, smilingly with the statement: 'Well, we did hit the old man pretty hard." Itefers to the Ohio Alleged Bribery. Adverting to Hanna, I'ettigrew brougth up the charges of bribery which had ben made against the Ohio senator at thetime of his election to the senate, reading voluminously from the report of the minority of the com mittee ou privileges and elections, in cluding newspnpe stories of the ac counts of alleged telephone conversa tions between Hanna's friends and other persons. These statements I'et tigrew thought could not be swept aside lightly by Hanna. - U ANN A GOES INTO TIIK FRAV. DEATH OP MRS. SHERMAN. Wife of the Former Secretary of Stat Pusm Away in Ohio.

Dry Goods Does Not Mince Matters In Characterizing Ills Accuser. Hanna next got the floor. "There was a pretty lively scrap in Columbus, said he. good humoredly. "It was due partly to the Democratic party and party and partly to the work of trai tors to their party aud to their coun try, like to senator from fcuutu Da kota." Hanna referred to. Senator Burke, of Cleveland, as one of the chief con spirators iu the senatorial election, and denounced him as "a traitor and a scoundrel" who had as a Republican lent himself to the conspiracy against his parry, and subseuueimy had" been disbarred and disgraced in his native city. Then he read a clipping from a South Dakota newspaper In whicli Pettigrewwas characterized as a trait or to his country and to his state, and declared hat he did not represent the people of South Dakota. "That," de clared Hanna, vehemently, "is my ac cuser In the senate of the United States, and that is the estimaion in which he is held by the people of his own state. I have often sat in inmy seat listening to him and thought him insane. Much of the stuff he has uttered on this floor is the veriest rot. "When it comes to personalities I will stand np with him and compare my character with his. He may tell what he konws about me, and then with emphasis on every word I will tell what I know about him." Carter, obtaining the floor as a mat ter of personal privilege," said: "First, It is said that Mr. Cramp made the statement tha he contribued ?40,IKX) to the Republican campaign fund in '92. I do not believe Mr. Cramp ever made that statement He could not truth fully have made it, and I believe him to be a truthful man." Carter said the reported conversation between himself and Mr. IVttigrew was a pure creation of the imagination, as he thought the conversation between Pet tigrew and Cramp as reported by the former must have been. A Life and Death r ight. Mr. W. A. Ilines of Manchester, la., writing of his almost miraculousescape from death, says: "Exposure after measles induced serious lung trouble, which ended in consumption. I had frequent hemorrhages and coughed night and day. All my doctors said I must soon die. Then I began to use Dr. King's New Discovery which wholly cured mo.

Mrs. Sherman's maiden name was Margaret Cecilia Stewart, and she was the only daughter of the late Judge Stewart of this city. She was married to John Sherman Dec. 31, 1848. No children were born to them, but they assisted in the bringing up of the chil dren of others. This city was the birthplace of Mrs. Sherman, and she will be buried here. When it was seen that death was near telegrams were sent to Ceneral Nelson A. Miles aud his wife. While Mr. Sherman, so long in the public eve. became familiar to every reader of the daily papers, but little lias ever been said regarding his wife. This was due In large measure to her own wishes. She avoided as far as possible the public attention. At no time in her long and varied experi ence wcuild Mrs. Sherman be termed a "society woman in the most limit ed sense.
