COMMODORE SCHEDER.
Panther appeared to be not more than
GOO yards from the fort. Her guns
were being fired every minute. The
fort could not be seen for the clouds of
nmoke , but It was plain that the Vene-
Euelan gunners w.ere answering the
Gorman flro splendidly and with great
rapidity.
At 1 o'clock In the afternoon an ex
plosion occurred , apparently in the
fort , and a cloud of smoke covered a
part of the ramparts. A number of
Indian fishermen were intercepted ,
fleeing from the direction of the fort
in their canoes. They reported that
the smoke seen was from the burning
Tillage of San Carlos , which had been
shelled by the German ships and was
In flnmpR.
The shelling of San Carlos has cre
ated much excitement among the Ger
man residents of this port , who have
protested against the action of the
warships.

Chief Justice Lord Alvorstone , and two
other justices. The prisoner pleaded
not guilty.
Upwards of sixty years have elapsed
since a treason trial has been held in
London. Unusual interest Is talccn In

worn , but he stood in the dock com
posedly listening to the lengthy in
dictment , which occupied nearly an
hour in reading.
Drawing , quartering and beheading
accompanied the death penalty for
treason until 1870 , wl\cn this was abel
ished. The death penalty , however ,
remains.
The attorney general , Sir Robert
Flnlay , opened the case , reciting the
alleged treasonable acts as fully re
ported at the preliminary hearing.

tor , Six Less Than Number Needed
to Elect Republicans In Both
Houses Stay Out.
Denver Jan. 22. A joint session of
the two branches of the general assem

senator was held yesterday , but only
DomoniUlc members participated ,
and there was no election. After con
curring In adjournment of the house
until Friday , the Democratic represen
tatives proceeded to the senate cham
ber , where the joint session was
called to order by Senator Adams ,
president pro torn , of the senate.
There were present twenty-six sena
tors and twenty-five representatives , a
total of fifty-one , which Is the numbei
required to elect a senator. Three
Republican senators were In the cham
ber during the session , but withdrew
before a ballot was taken. Senator
McGuire , a Democrat , also retired
after the joint session had refused to
excuse him from voting , leaving only
fifty members present. Several mem
bers objected to the proceedings on
the ground that the joint session was
irregular , and five Democrats , bcsldo
McGuire , refused to vote for senator.
On the joint ballot forty-five votes
were cast , all being for Henry M. Tel
ler.

plenty of warlike preparations at the
state house last night. The story

terest of one of the senatorial candi
dates.

From Kansas Senatorial Race.

ballots on United States senator last

the vote : Long , 44 ; Curtis , 30 ; Stanley -
ley , 29 ; Calderhead , 12 ; Boweraock , G.
After the caucus ex-Governor W. 13.
Stanley withdrew from the senatorial
contest. Following the withdrawal
of ex-Governor Stanley developments
came thick and fast , and the outcome
probably means the election of Con
gressman C. I. Long as senator. As
soon as the news of Stanley's with
drawal was known , Congressman Bow-
ersock immediately got out of the
race , letting his supporters go where
they would. Then twenty-nine of the
Stanley men got together and pledged
themselves to vote for Long. This
gTves Long seventy-five votes In the
Republican caucus , or ten more than
enough to cloct.

WESTERN STOCKYARDS SUFFER.
Kenyan T < Is Interstate Commission
Chicago Is Aided by Railroads.
Chicago , .Ian. 22. Representatives
of live Htock IntoruHtH of Omaha , St.
Jonopli and Sioux City took turns yes-
tnnlay In tolling the Interstate com
merce commission how , In their opin
ion , Chicago Is favored In rates and
In train service over thcso cities.
W. J. C. Kenyan , manager of the
South Omahii stock yaids , testified
that If stock trains maintained the
same rntn of speed used from Cumber
land to Omaha In going from Omaha
to Chicago , tliu time between the lat
ter point H would ho thirty-eight hours ,
Instead of twenty-three , as at present.
Shippers to Omaha were further
hampered by trains arriving In that
city In the afternoon Instead of In the
favored hours of the morning. Mr.
Kenyan stated that figures showed
that shipments to Chicago had not dc
creased and he knew of no conditions
which required a change of the former
relative ra.tes between live stock and
the manufactured goods.
If the hearing results in a decision
that thnro should bo a reduction In
the rates on live stock from Missouri
river territory to Chicago , the rail
roads may be compelled to meet a num
ber of claims for the difference be
tween the rate as decided upon and
that which baa been charged. These
claims , If they are ( lied by all of the
shippers who have paid or may here
after pay the higher rate , will amount
to millions of dollars. _ _
