Senator Thurston's bill for the reorganization -
ganization of the Union Pacific , says a
Washington dispatch , made familiar
through the press during the month ,
was introduced on Thursday in the
senate and referred to the committee
on Pacific railroads. Senator Thurs-
ton will devote a large portion of his
attention to pushing this measure to an
early consideration by the senate , and
has strong hopes of being able to secure -
cure its passage during the present
congress. While Senator Thurston has
resigned his solicitorship of the Union
Pacific railway , he takes not an unnatural -
ural interest in the road , and .will be
looked upon as the chief promoter in
Washington of subjects relating to its
interests. Mr. Thurston's private secretary -
retary , Mr. E. C. Snyder , will prove an
able ally to him in literary work connected -
nected with the road. Mr. Snyder has

Union Pacific and is expected to ( io
good work in explaining intricate details -
tails connected with the bill and iii
bringing them properly before the
public.

COMMISSION BILLAMENDED IN
THE SENATE.

Mr. S1reEman Says There Will Be No War
and That There Is No Occasion for All
This Haste-Mr. Morgan Would Like
Prompt Action-The Senate Subatituto
for the house Measure.
Dlecnssing Venezuela Matters.
WASHINGTON , lice. 21.-The foreign
affairs committee of the Senate met
early this morning and devoted the
time before time assembling of the
Senate to consideration of the Venezuelan -
zuelan commission bill passed by the
House the day after the President's
message was sent to Congress. After
some discussion , time following was
agreed upon :
"That the sum of $100,00(1 ( , or so
much thereof as may be necessary , be
and the same is hereby appropriated
for the expenses of a comnmissioa to
consist of three members to be appointed -
pointed by the President , by and with
the advice and consent of time Senate ,
to investigate and report to him time
facts in regard to the divisional line
between the republic of Venezuela
and British Guiana ; provided , tha section -
tion 2 of the act approved July 1 ,
18)4 ) , m : lying appropriations for the
legislative , executive and judicial expenses -
penses of the government shall not
apply to any commissioners appointed
under this act. "
When the senate was about to convene -
vene Mr. Allen of Nebraska consulted
with his Populist friends as to whether
he would consent to allow the commission -
mission bill to go to third reading and
passage to-day. Finally he said that
he would not object to its passage to-
day.As
As soon as the Senate met , Mr. Morgan -
gan secured unanimous consent for the
consideration of the House Venezuelan
bill and it was at once read. Then lie
offered the Senate substitute and
briefly explained the changes.
Mr. Platt of Connecticut said that
any delay would be construed in England -
land as hesitation on America's part
and thati it was essential not to change
the bill. As to that part which
changed the wording as to time report
of the commission upon the true divisional -
visional line , or the facts in time case ,
lie claimed that the facts would be the
divisional line. The amendment of
the Senate would be construed as receding -
ceding on time part of the Senate , and
time Senate should notify Great Britain
that America is behind the President ,
Mr , Sherman said that the Presi-
dent's course had been approved unan-
imouslr by both houses of Congress.
England was not making any fresh
aggressions and was not taking the
matter very seriously. He thought
that time dispute would be settled
honorably and that no American blood
would be shed. The fact that the
I Senate amended the bill could not be
construed in any way as meaning that
time Senate did not stand firmly by
the President. The amendments
would improve time bill and he had no
doubt if made they would be accepted
by the House. "It seems to me ; he
continued , "that all this is too hasty ;
that we are too eager. Let us take
our time to deliberate , and not rush
into the matter. "
COMMITTED FIVE MURDERS
harry Hayward's Confession Made Just
ltefore Ills Execution.
MINNEAPOLIS , Minn. , Dec. 21.-The
Mite-mortem statement of Harry hayward -
ward , making 30,000 words , is in many
respects a most remarkable document.
It was made under the most formal
conditions and with wlemn assertions
on the murderers part that he was
telling the truth. Not only does lme
claim to have murdered during his
brief career , no less than five different
people , but in describing the various
i tragedies in which he figured lie shows
an utter absence of human feeling ,
and a pleasure in his achievements
that marks him as an unusual type of
criminal. The language used in describing -
scribing his criminal adventures is in
the careless , flippant style that characterized -
acterized his testimony on the stand.
Money , he said , was his object in
life , girls the second , and travel the
third. There was a girl in Minneapolis -
olis with whom he was going and who
had $2,000 a year. He had planned to
f hill her , but did not because there
was no way he could get her money.
He longed to do the deed. "Sine used
to make me so d- mad , " said Hayward -
ward , "that I wanted to choke her. 1
can understand how Durrant killed
those two girls in San Francisco with
pleasure. "
His first murder was that of Carrie
Hass , near Pasadena , Cal. , whose little
fortune of $700 lie secured. Once
when tending bar in Long Branch lie
killed a consumptive man who was
there. The consumptive had money
and wanted to die. The name Harry
refused to tell on time ground that he
had an accomplice who might get into
trouble now , but this murder was by
shooting , too , and the body had been
thrown into the water. Then there
was a Chinaman killed in a gambling
quarrel and the brother of the Mexican -
can girl at El Paso'Del Norte , and
lastly Miss Ging.
ltussla Does Not Look For War.
ST. PETERSBURG , Dec. 21.-The Russian -
sian newspapers generally discuss the
Venezuelan question , and express the
belief that it will have a pacific issue.
The Novosti considers that the position -
tion assumed by time United States is
in conflict with tlie interests of the
whole of Europe , and suggests that
the mediation of certain European
powers will probably result in a
peaceful settlement of the dispute.
CANADA TALKS DEFENSE.
Thirty Thousand Troops Ready for Action
If Needed-Alarm Not Yet Felt.
OTTAWA , Ontario , Dec. 21.-Officials
of the government claimn that in case
of war between Great Britain and the
United Slates Canada could in twenty-
four hours put 30,000 fully equipped
men into the field and hold any force
the United States is likely to bring
against this country in check for a
couple of months at least. The sitna-
tion is generally viewed as one of the
greatest gravity , calling for prompt
preparation for defense , but not for
any alarm.

UNITED STATES' ALLIES.
5onth and Central American Countries
Will Give Their Support.
WAS1IENGTON , Dec. ' 21.-Among Secretary -
retary Olney's callers yesterday were
Minister Andrade of Venezuela , Minister -
ter Mendonca of Brazil and Minister
Romero of Mexico , representing three
of the first republics of South and
Central. America. Although none of
the Central and South American diplomats -
lomats will consent to be quoted rim-
garding their call , it is known that
they , as a rule , have cabled their governments -
ernments that time present seems an
opportune time for invoking the Monroe -
roe doctrine as a means of support
against European pressure , several of
them being involved in disputes
with European nations at this time.
The statement is made by one
of them that several important results -
sults will follow time vigorous construction -
struction of the Monroe doctrine.
First , it is said , will be time official
adherence of time Southern Republics ,
making the declaration practically
unanimous from time countries of the
Western hemisphere. It is pointed
out that Lord Salisbury insisted that
time Monroe doctrine was not recognized -
nized as international law , but this , it
issaid , will be answered by a showing
that all the Republics of North and
South America accept it as the law
Loverning them.
The project of another conference of
American republics in line with the
Pan-American conference , but with a
view to political alliance rather than
commercial reciprocity , is being discussed -
cussed also. The suggestion is made
with much directness in diplomatic
circles that the course of the United
States assures to it the moral and plmy-
sical support of all the Southern and
Central American republics. In the
aggregate this allied strength of the
Western republics , with the United
States as its head , would constitute a
new and formidable factor in international -
tional affairs. It is not suggested
among diplomatists that suchm an alliance -
ance will take time formal shape of a
treaty , but it is urged that the feeling
of union existing constitutes a compact -
pact quite as effective as a formal un-
derstanding.
HOT TALK BY INGALLS.
Says Amcrlcanq Bate England Most Intensely -
tensely for Various Reasons.
ATCIns ° N , Ian. , Dec. _ i. - "The
. President's message is an adroit appeal -
peal to time profoundest passion of the
American people , " said ex-Senator
John J. Ingalls to a reporter. "Our
conception of the Monroe doctrine is
vague , and. our love for Venezuela is
platonic , but we all hate England. It
is hereditary. It is so intense that it
obliterates party lines , effaces sectionalism -
alism and makes us homogenous. We
divide on protecticn , on silver ,
on the race question , but in our
hatred of England we are unan-
imous. The sloppy diplomatic
twaddle about ltindred blood ,
and a common language , deceives no-
body. We feel that England is our
only enemy among time great powers
of the earth. It has been so from the
beginning of our luistory. At every
crisis in our affairs we have encountered -
tered the secret or open Imostility of
England , and time tone of her press
has been always cynical , sneering and
contemptuous.
- "But there will beno war. Like all
ruffians and bullies , England is a coward -
ard and poltroon when it comes to a
showdown ; she never fights her equals ;
she kicks women and children : she
bullies 'T'urkey , Egypt , Ilindoostan.
South Sea Islanders and African tribes
and tyrannizes over the weak and
feeble , but when Grant notified her
that she must pay for time denredations
her pirates committed on our commerce -
merce in time rebellion , or take the con-
sequences. she accepted the Geneva
award , and sent her check for $ i , -
500,000 in full settlement of our claim. "
GEN. MERRITT'S VIEWS.
Would Take tlto Initiative and ] nvado
Canada at Once.
CHIC1Go , Dec. 21-In the event of a
war'with Great Britain , Chicago and
the lakes will be safe , " said Major
General Wesley Merritt , commanding
time department of time Missouri. "My
impression is , " lie said. 'that we would
make the war an aggressive one. We
would , I slmonld hope and judge , take
the initiative , and invade Canada at
once and make that country the great
seat of war. The immediate seizure of
the Welland canal , to hold it or destroy -
stroy it , would solve at once the prob-
1em of the lake ports. There is nothing
ing to fear from Canada. No invasion
of our country could be undertaken
there. We could overwhelm the country -
try with a force numbering ten to one
anything they could collect or muster ,
and then not leave our seacoast un
protected and unprovided with men to
defend every port. "

under existing conditions , it would be
wise to open the mints for the free ?
and unlimited coinage of silver at a.
ratio of 16 to 1. It stood 30 to 2.4. , E
That , I tlhinlr , is indicative of the 017 7
position to the financial views held by ,
the president , and shows time hopelessness -

"The President has frequently said i
that when the gold reserve got below
$70,000,003 the danger line was
reached. Itis now down to $10,000- - :

' "Confession" Tissue !
Harry hayward's a I
of Lies From Beginning to had. , 1
MINNEAPOLIS , Minn. , Dec. 23.-The ,
impression is growing that Harry hayward - f
ward , tine prince of liars in life , left ; 1
his masterpiece of falsehood to follow
after his death , in the ante-mortem A
statement. Not only are there many'
internal evidences that lie told many 1 1
sensational tales simply from a desire ( ; I
to pose as a great criminal , and to t I
give his "cousin Goodsell" a good. 1
timing , but it transpires that Harry. to , ,
at least three personscharacterized time ( 1
statement as a pack of lies.V , 1V. /
Itayward , his father , publishes a. 4
statement , in which he declares that ( i
harry told his parents before the- t
confession tlmat they need not worry _ {
about what he said ; it was to be
a tissue of lies constructed to meet thd : '
1
demand for sensation. lb assured ,
t
them that he had told them , and them I ,
alone , the whole truth. After making I
the statement , he told his attorney , , I
John Day Sumith , that he had taken
certain well known facts and woven 4
around them plenty of lies. "L'he
public wants lies , " said he , "and L , , {
will give them lies " To the specialists -
ists who examined his skull and brain i
at the autopsy , and pronounced hihn a
degenerate a , the statement is 1n in-
eipally interesting from a psychological -
logical point of view , as lending. , {
weight and evidence to their theory , '

The demand fqr the confession in
1
pamphlet form is phenomenal. and tt
the first edition of 25.000 has already 'r
been exhausted. t I ,
