News of Interest From the National

Washington, D. C. Dec. 19 Eastern
newspapers In the last iwo days have
contained highly sensational stories
under Omaha and Lincoln date llnei,
outlining a republican war on Senator
Allen taking hla eat, and slating- that
the republican committee of the aenate
" In communication with the repub
licana of Nebraska as to the course of
me opposition to be pursued.
Diligent Inquiry among- republican
senators fails to make good any of the
Minions emanating from either Lin
coln or Omaha.
Senator Thurston, when approached
upon the law points alleged to have
ueen nnsea Dy James M. Wool worth
as to the right of Senator Allen to take
the oath of office as successor to Sen
ator Hayward, said that while there
was no exactly similar case as present
ed from Nebraska, Hayward being de
Jure senator, his death created a va
cancy wntcn the governor had a right
to fill. He admitted that he had re.
celved one telegram from Nebraska
regarding the matter, but had not re
plied because he thought It was wholly
unnecessary In view of the action of
me senate in Judge Hayward's case.
On the assembling of the senate In reg
ular session. Mr. Hayward's credentials
ffvrt laid before that body, raving been
n the office of the secretary of the
senate ever since last March, when he
was elected. Ordinary procedure fol
lowed the presentation of his commis
sion tro mGovernor Poynter, and when
naywaxas name was called for the
surpose or taking the oath, Senator
jiiursion saia mat severe Illness pre
vented his colleague from being pres
ent in the senate at that time and Ne
braska was passed. Kvery senator rec
ognized that Judge Hayward had been
elected and that there were no reasons
why he should not take the oath of
office. But he died before he could
take the oath, and now hair-splitting is
oeing indulged in over Allen s appoint
ment. Senator Hpooner, when Interrogated
as to the points raised to seating Allen
said: "He will take his seat without a
word of protest, so far ub I know. 1
cannot conceive of any other condition
but that a vacancy exists In -Nebraska
and the governor, under the constitu
tion, has the power to appoint.
Senator Harina says he knows noth
Ing of the situation, but he ragerds the
right or the. governor to appoint be
cause he believes a vacancy exists. II?
has received no advices from Nebraska
republicans as alleged by telegrams
rrom Lincoln.
Henator Kenney of Delaware, In din
cuffing the subject from a democratic
standpoint, raised an Interesting ques
tion which Is worthy of some consider
ation. "Suppose," said he, "that Hay
ward, elected by a majority of the leg
islature of Nebraska, had failed to
quullfy In the senate. As long as nis
term lasted the governor would have
been powerless to appoint, even though
the Plate went without two representa
tive, as provided by the constitution.
If living he was senator, then, dead, a
vacancy must be created by the very
condition of things. The minority of
the senate evidently expected no such
questions to be presented, for they
have designated places on committees
whch he will fill."
WILSON WILL NOT RESIGN.
SCUTCH MAX'S CHSrC'J.
Secretary Wilson, when asked about
the report that he was about to resign
from, the cabinet onaccount of ill
health, said: "There Is not a word of
truth in the statement. I am as strong
as a bull calf. I do a hard day's work
every day, although I do sometimes
get tired after being at It for a long
time. I have not seen the president
about It or talked with any one on the
subject, nor have I any Intention fo
doing so. I have worked every day this
summer and after getting out my re
port I did say to some of the boys that

I had none and I felt I was entitled to

TO RECOGNIZE TUB BOERS.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 19. Repre
sentative Sulster of .New York has In
troduced a Joint resolution declaring
that a state of war exists in South
Africa and according belligerent rights
to the Transvaal government. The
resolution:
Resolved, By the senate and house of
representatives, that the government of
the L'nlted States recognizes a condi
tion of public war between the govern
ment of Great Britain and the govern
ment of the republic of Transvaal and
the United Htaten of America hereby
declare that they will maintain a con
dition of strict neutrality between the
contending powers and accord to each
all the rights of belligerents In the
ports and territory, of the United
States. The congress of the United
Slates protests and remonstrates
against the barbarous manner in which
the war has been conducted by Great
Britain and Ihe president Is hereby au
thorized to take such steps as may be
expedient, In his Judgment, to secure all
observance of the laws of war as rec
ognized by all civilized nation and
bring about an honorable peace.
Suiter said of the resolution: "My
sympathy Is with the heroic Boers.
They are making a brave' and gullant
fight against great odds for their
homes, their firesides and their liber
ties. We should not secretly or openly
help Great Britain to their disadvan
tage. We should accord the Boers oil
the rights of belligerents.- I want to
see the Boers win and I hope they will.
1 am opposed to the pig sticking mode
of warfare Great Birltaln Is carrying
on. If what I read in the papers Is
true, this cruelty and Inhumanity puts
England beyond the pale of civilization.
I shall do all In my power to pass this
resolution. It will come up In the
bouse and I want to go on record In
fsvor of the Boers and their republic
and against England or Anglo-American
alliance, expressed or Implied."
Venerable Republican Has Not
Changed His American Idass.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 19-Senator
Hoar has written a letter to Former
Senator Kdmunds, replying to an In
vitation to be present at a meeting- to
be held to discuss the I'hllipplne ques
tion. Senator Hoar declines to attend
because he thinks that what ho will
have to say on the Phillnnln miinn
will be more effective If said In his
Place In the senate than elsewhere. He
adds:
"I have not changed the opinion I
formed and expressed last winter, ex
cept that it baa been confirmed and
strengthened by what has happened
Since. If we had dealt with the rumnla
of the Philippines as we undertook to
deal with the people of Cuba, who we
declared and they certainly had no
better title of right ouaht to be free
ana independent; if Instead of under
taking to buy them and then undertak
ing to subjugate them by force, we
had assured them of our purpose to re
spect their rights, to protect them
against foreign interference, to aid
them to restore order and to leava
them whenever they should desire to
the blessing of freedom and self-government,
we should have had no war.
We should have no loss of life. We
should have had no large expenditure
of money. We should not have tram
pled on the doctrines upon which our
own institutions were founded. W
snouia not have dishonored our own
great history. We should not have In
curred the undying ljatred of the peo
ple of the Philippine Islands. We
should have received from their grati
tude everything In the way of commer
cial advantage, or advantage of mili
tary or naval stations that their grati
tude could bestow. We should havs
the glory with which the glory of nJ
other country In history could be;
compared of being the great liberator
In both hemispheres.
"Terrible mischief has already been
accomplished through the blunder ol
last winter's treaty. Hut it is not too
late to retrace our steps. Congress hai
not yet committed Itself to the policy
of Imperialism. Still less are th
American people so committed. It ii
not too late to assure the people of tlx
Philippine Islands that we will no!
trample under foot, or compel them to
obey us against their will; that we will
protect them against foreign cupidity;
that we will aid them to restore order;
that we will help thern In every way In
our power to establish for themselves1
such government as they may desire)
that hereafter our relations to them
should only be that of friends and
equals.
"If that were done peace would be
restored in an hour. Order and pros
perity and happiness would prevail, In
stead of war and devastation. The flag
of the United States, which It Is sought
to make the symbol of conquest and
oppression, would be as It has ever been
till now, a symbol of liberty and hope,
to all nations of the earth. With
drawn only from the territory over
which It waves with right, It would
continue to wave over that moral field
over which Is Its rightful supremacy,
and from which It could never be haul
ed down."

A BOSTON BANK FAILS.
New York, Dec. 19. Five minutes ot
active trading on the stock exchange al
the opening Saturday demonstrated
that the market was to be allowed to
run Into unopposed demoralization
Running sales at the opening showed
quotations far apart. Extreme de
dines lyi the Internationally listed
stocks ran up to 2H points, In sympathy
with the demoralization caused on the
London stock exchange by the unex
pected disaster to General Buller In
South Africa. Hut even on the open
Ing transactions, the prices quoted
were on a scale upwards, the recovery
of 1 to 2 points being almost instan
taneous. The leading Industrials and
specialties were greater BUfferers than
the railroad stockB dealt In on the Lon
don exchange. The extreme decline In
this group reached 6 points. In the
general list the fall In prices was not
excessive. Sales for London account
were on a large scale, especially as the
rally lifted prices above the London
parity, so that there was an Inviting
profitln selling stocks here , that had
been bought on the slump In London.
The trading at the opening was at
nded by considerable excitement, and
Indeed, the Wall street district showed
unwonted signs of activity before the
stock market opened. The news In the
morning papers "f General Buller's re
verse brought brokers and stock opera
tors early on the ground to make pre
parations for the demands upon them.
Many did not wait for the opening of
the New York exchange, but cabled
buying orders to London, thus helping
on the rally there before the trading
legan In New York. The vigorous sup
port by distribution of large buying or
ders through the principal portions of
the list was thus made effective and
the market moved upwards almost
from the opening. The recovery caused
a pause In the rush to liquidate and
the market became quiet and lost all
appearance of excitement.
The quiet or the market provea a
shortlived affair and gave way to an
active resumption of the selling move
ment on the receipt of belated selling
orders from London. The list crum
bled by degrees until the whole market
succumbed to demoralization. Iss-
were particularly marked In New
York Central. Louisville and the gran
gers. Metropolitan dropping an extreme
9 points. Disappointment over thf
small contraction shown by the bank
statement and renewed apprehension
over the situation In Boston had to dc
with the late decline. The net lossej
ran up all the way from 3 to 9 polntf
In the principal active stocks and nc

Broadway National Closes on Ac
connt of Squire Co.'s Failure.
Boston, Mass., Dec. 19. As a result
of the failure of the John P. Squire Co.
(Corporation of Cambridge) for $3,000,
XMi, which was announced late Friday
afternoon, the Broadway national bank
here, in which the Squires were largely
Interested, did not open its doors Sat
urday, and a notice at the entrance
stated that the affairs of the bank
were in the hands of the comptroller
of the currency.
It did not take long for the news of
the trouble to circulate widely, and all
sorts of wjjd rumors were set afloat.
These reports made mention of other
banks with which the Squires were
connected, and one or two institutions,
which it was said would be most likely
to feel the Influence of the disturbance.
For an hour these conditions prevailed
but as one after the other of the banks
mentioned were found to be doing busi
ness as usual the agitation began to
subside, and by 1 o'clock affairs ap
parently had resumed their normal
state.
Members of the clearing house com
mittee refused to discuss the Broadway
bank question. It seamed to be the
opinion among bankers that no impor
tant failures would follow the closing
of the Institution.
The Broadway National bank Is lo
cated at the corner of Milk and Arch
streets. Roswell C. Downer Is its pres
ident and Frank O. Squire, president
ind manager of the John P. Squire Co
is vice-president. When It became
known that the Squire firm was in
trouble, the clearing house took up the
iuestlon of giving assistance to the
Broadway National bank. After an In
vestigation, which was not completed
until Friday evening, it was decided to
take no action. The officials of the
oank at once entered Into communlca-
.Ion with Comptroller Dawes, with the
result that the institution was turned
over Into the Comptroller's hands, Bank
Examiner Wing being designated as
temporary receiver.
QUEEN VICTORIA SUFFERS.
Disaster to Royal Arms Preys HeaV'
Hy on Her Majesty.
London, Dec. 18 It is acutely fear-d
In court circles that the disastrous war
will kill Queen Victoria. The reverses
ana losses of the troops are orevlna in
cessantly on her mind and for the first
time in her long life she complains of
insomnia.
War office news filters to her through
her private secretary, Sir Arthur Bigge.
who gets It over a private telephone
wire, laid between the war office and
Windsor castle. The queen never read
the newspapers except for special rea
sons, out since the present defeats be
gan she has directed that the Times
and Dally News be laid before her ev
ery morning.
When the queen Is dissatisfied or
duobtful about war telegrams she sends
Bigge to London with a series of ques
tlons dictated by herself, to which
Lord Wolseley dictates answers, which
are read to the queen. Her inquiries
are always pertinent and searching,
Wolseley is often obliged to consult the
war council in shaping his replies. Bul
ler's reverse was telephoned to the
queen by her second secretary. Sir
Fleetwood Edwards, after dinner. Big
ge was already In London making spe
tial inquiries.
The hope of further news and nerv-
ous anxiety are wearing on the aged
queen, and pitiable scenes of grief anl
consternation are now almost nightly
enacted at Windsor castle, She can
not forgive herself for assenting to the,
war, of the Justice and necessity for
which she never was convinced, and
she believes the British reverses are
the judgment of God.
The English fteople have lost all con
fidence In their generals. The Jingo
press can only call for more men and
more guns, but thoughtful people real
ise that Increasing the force means
only the sacrifice without any Increas
ed hope of success under commanders
who have so gravely blundered.
Seeing the Impregnable front that
Joubert has presented to Buller's su
perior force at Colenso, military ex
perts believe it practically Impossible
that the English army can ever force
a way through the Drakensburg moun
tains at Lalng's Nek.
The panic on the stock exchange ovei
the neovs of Buller's defeat was unex
ampled In the memory of any living
Englishman.
The opening scene was like bedlam,
the Jobbers shouting maniacally at
each other, their faces wild with ex
citement, their hair disordered, all their
croes and gestures' being those of de
mented creatures. The best reputed
Kaffir stocks of the Rand mines fell
six points in a few minutes. Others
were totally unsalable at any price.
Many men were ruined in the first half
hour. Some were to be seen sitting on
the steps, pictures of desolation and de
jection. When the first violent stage of the
panic had exhausted Itself the mem
bers resigned themselves to settled
gloom. A more miserable collection of
human beings could scarcely be found
on the face of the eaf"th. There was ho
hope in any quarter.
The scene Is historical and forms a
striking contrast to that witnessed on
the declaration of war, when In ram
pant Jingoism the stock exchange mem.
bers sang "The Soldiers of the Queen'
and In a cowardly vainglory dispatched
the Insulting cable to Kruger:
"For what you are about to receive
may the Lord make you truly thank
ful."
