ted to the friends of General Mander-
son a proposition for the adjustment of.
differences between the respective supporters -
porters of William McKinley and
Charles F. Manderson in Nebraska ,
concerning the character of the delegation -
tion to the national republican convention -
tion to be held in St. Louis
This proposal was carefully discussed
by friends of both parties and modified
reads as follows :
Resolved , That -republicans of
Nebraska favor the nomination of
William McKinley or Charles F. ' Man-
derson for president.
Resolved , That they hope all dCle-
gates from Nebraska to the national
convention will make every honorable
effort to secure the nomination of
William McKinley or Charles F. Man-
derson.
Resolved , That they hold in high esteem -
teem Hon. Charles F. Manderson , and
it is their wish that the delegates to
the national convention should avail
themselves of any favorable opportunity -
ty that may arise in the national convention -
vention to urge his nomination for
president.
Resolved , That the delegates to the
national convention should vote for
lion. Charles F. llanderson on any and
all ballots when , in their judgeinent ,
such votes so cast will not in anywise
tend to defeat the nomination of
William McKinley or lessen his chances
for nomination , but that they should
vote for William McKinley on any and
all ballots when , in their judgment ,
such votes would promote-his interests
or contribute to his nomination.
Resolved , That the name of Hon.
Charles F. Manderson be presented to
the convention as a candidate , unless
in the judgment of the Nebraska delegation -
gation at the assembling of the convention -
vention , it is apparent that McKinley
will be nominated for president.
These modifications were submitted
to Senator Thurston and General Man-
dersen for consideration. Senator
Thurston , in a telegram to his friends ,
accepted them and Senator llanderson
replied as follows :
"Washington , D. Q , March 19.-W.
H. Alexander and Others : As heretofore -
fore frequently stated , 1 am entirely
willing to leave matters to friends , be-
jug especially desirous of avoiding factional -
tional disturbance , injurious to republicanism -

Any adjustment having this end in
view will be satisfactory to me.

' COMBINE.1
ANTI-M'KINLEY .
Th Reed and Allison Forcer Join t.
Defeat the Ohio Man.
WASHNGTON , March 24.-The Reed
and Allison men have decided to work
together to stem the tide of McKin
teyism. A conference was held yesterday -
terday and this decision reached. The
conference was held in Senator AId-
rich's committee room , and those pres- .
cut were Speaker Reed and Joseph H.
Manley , Senator Gear and Congressman -
man Icnderson of Iowa , and Senators
Aldrich and Chandler. Senator Gear
and Congressman Henderson represented -
sented Senator Allison.
The Peed and Allison men , it is understood -
derstood , are preparing to puncture
some of the claims on which McKin-
ley's claim to popularity rests. The
impression is general and the McKinley -
ley managers are endeavoring to
strengthen it in the popular mind ,
that McKinley , in addition to being
entitled to the principal credit for the
protective tariff bill which bears his
name , is also the originator of t : e
reciprocity agreements. Senator Gear
has stated that , far from McKinley
being entitled to the credit for these
agreements , they were , in fact ,
the work of Senators Allison and Aldrich -
drich , and that McKinley fought them
with all his might. An authoritative
statement on this question from the
Allison managers ma , be expected before -
fore long.
It is also being bodly asserted that
McKinley never wrote a tariff sclied-
ule , and threats of telling how they
were written are'being made. Some
lively developments seem to be in
prospect before the St : Louis convention -
tion assembles.
NO SENATE ACTION.
More Delay In the Upper Chamber on
the Cuban Resolutions.
WASHINGTON , March 2t.-When the
Senate met to-day , Mi. . Sherman
moved to committ the Cuban resolutions -
tions to the conference committee.
Asked concerning his motion , he said
that the object was to secure such
modification of them as would satisfy
the scruples of some of the senators
who were opposing the resolutions and
to secure a vote on it at an early day.
At 2 o'clock Mr. Mills of Texas introduced -
troduced a joint resolution directing
the President to request Spain to give
local self government to Cuba and in
the event of Spain's refusal , authorizing -
ing the President to take possession of
Cuba , using the military and naval
forces for that purpose , and hold it
until the people of Cuba can establish
local self government.
At 3 o'clock the motion of Senator
Sherman to refer the Cuban resolutions -
tions to the conference committee was
adopted without division.
The Senate at once returned to
other business and while the galleries
did not realize for some time that the
Cuban resolutions had been sent back
to conference , the chair announced
Messrs. Sherman , Morgan and Lodge
as the Senate conferees.

Political News.
WASHINGTON , March 30.-Mr. J. H.
Manley sent the following telegram
yesterday to the Massachusetts Republicans -
publicans :
At the close of your convention
there will have been 393 delegates

him the entire delegation from Wisconsin -
sin , Indiana and Minnesota. But there

.twelve delegates from the States , who
lia ve deciared since their election in

in Mr. Reed's This gives Governor
McKinley 150 delegates , Mr. Peed 72 ,
Governor Morton 61 , Senator Allison
36 , Senator Quay 26 , Senator Cullom
1 ; contested , 36.
"You will see that this gives McKinley -
ley 150 delegates , against 210 anti- i
McKinley delegates. '
"The situation is precisely as it was
twenty years ago. You will remem- i
her that three months before the convention - I
vention met at Zincinnati we were
confident of Mr. Blainc's nctnination.
He stood then as the apostle of protection -
tection , liut he had opposed to his !
nomination , Senator Conkling of New
York , Senator Morton of IndianaSee-
retary Bristow of Kentucky , Governor
Hayes of Ohio , and Governor IIart-
ranft of Pennsylvania. We felt so
sure of 11r. Blame's nomination that
we regarded it as settled , and yet lie
was defeated in the convention , and
the Maine man tveut down before the
Ohio governor.
"History will repeat itself at St'
Louis. Governor McKinley is , and
will be , the leading candidate in the
convention , but he will have opposed
to him as a candidate Governor Morton -
ton of New York , Senator Allison of
Iowa , Senator Cullom of Illinois , Senator -
ator Quay of Pennsylvania , and Mr.
Reed of Maine. You will find that
the tables will be turned , and the
Governor of Ohio will go down before

O1iLAu01IA CITY , Oh. , Marchi 30.-

Confederate and Union Soldiers on th. _
Same 1'tano. i
WAsnlsoToN. March 6.-Senator
Hill's bill to remove the restrictions
against the appointment a4 officers of
the army or navy of persons who held.
1 commissions in fire army or navy before -
fore the rebellion , and who subset
+ uettly took part in the war on the
/ ' side Ot the Confederacy , which passed
the Senate , during the height of the
I excitement over the Venezuela boundary -
ary question , passed the House y ster- .
.
day , after two hour's debate , with but :
I one dissenting cote-that of Mr. Bou-
i
telle of Maine. , r ,
The Democrats , except Mr. Cam-
of New York , who spoke , as he ,
said , "as one of 500,000 Democrats
who fought in the Union army , " and
Mr- . Wilson of South Carolina , who'
was drawn into the debate by Mr.
Boutelle , refrained entirely from par-
ticipation. Mr. Hull of Iowa , chairman -
man of the military committee , who
had charge of the bill , admitted it.
j ' , vould subserwe no 'practical pur-
ese , and was largely sentimental.
I 1r. Boutelle , who led the opposition ,
single-handed , thought it would furn-
Iish a bad object lesson for naval
and military candidates who were
. about entering on careers in the service -
vice of their country , and when he got
warmed up to his subject , called attention -
tention to the fact that many Southern
men in Congress in the past had
obstructed legislation in the interest
of Union soldiers , dwelling particularly -
ly on the opposition to the retirement
of General Grant. Mr. Grosvenor of
Ohio and Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania ,
' however , supported time bill ardently
as a graceful and gracious act to the
vanIuished , timid when the vote was
I taken Mr. Boutellc alone voted against ,
, its passage.
The bill to abolish the death penalty
in certain cases was passed. Bills
I were also passed to make the sale of
i spirituous liquors under a false brand
punishable by fine and imprisonment , ,
i to turn over the property of the Mormon -
mon church , now in the hands of a
receiver , to the trustees , and several
others of minor importance.
