NOVEMBER 25. IBM. Maxwell's plurality over Boas Ham mond for congress in this district is 4854. At the recent election Chicago cast 46,535 more rotes than New.-York city. None of the proposed constitutional amendments succeeded in wiggling through the meshes of the ballots. Nebraska cast her largest vote at the recent election, the total being 230,692, aliout 16,000 more than the big rote of 1890. W. D. McHcon.'a law partner of J. C. - Co win of Omaha, has been appointed and ' commissioned United States judge of the district of Nebraska to succeed Judge Dandy, deceased. The fusion caucus of the Nebraska .general assembly will be controlled by a majority consisting of democrats, so it is said. Now, it becomes an interesting question, Who will control the demo cratic contingent? Ax English Review lately published a very savage nttack, from the pen of an Australian, on "American Women." The December Forum will contain a reply to this article by the Hon. Hugh H. Lusk, ex-member of the New Zealand Legisla ture, himself an Australian. Charles H. Elliott has confessed to the murder of his companion Hutson piller, killed for his money Tuesday week at Omaha. He declares he struck the fatal blows in a fit of anger. Hut sonpiller was a cowboy and Elliott a soldier with the Wild West show. The Omaha Jacksonian club have dropped from their membership list the names of several prominent sound money democrats who supported Mc Kinley in the last election. They are generally a class of men not accustomed to take their opinions at second hand, ami will doubtless be able to survive any action of this sort. It has been figured out that the next state senate will be composed of 13 farmers, 6 lawyers, 2 editors, 1 banker, 3 merchants, 4 physicians, 1 druggist, a coal dealer, school teacher and a real estate agent. The bouse of representa tives will have 74 farmers, 11 merchants, .5 lawyers, 2 editors, and the remainder scattering. There is nothing that can take the place of a few grains of common sense in the adjustment of the affairs oflife. Ross Hammond, the defeated candidate for congress in this district says: "So long as the corn is nnhusked and the sugar beets are unpolled the fellows who ran for office and fell short ought not to mourn and refuse to be comfort- - ed. There's always room higher up." W. J. Bryan, late candidate for the presidency, it is said, will write a book on the silver question and bimetallism, one-half the royalties from the sale of the book to be devoted to advancing the cause of bimetallism during the next four years. We take it from this that the watchword "free-trade," followed by "free-silver," is now to be supplemented by "bimetallism," a third misnomer. Mabtita Huoues Cannon has the dis tinction of being the first woman ever elected to the senate in America. She ran against her husband in the same dis trict in Utah and was elected by a majority of 4,000. She is a Mormon, a democrat, and believes in woman suff rage. She is the fourth wife of A. M. Cannon, a leading elder in the Mormon church. The new senator is a doctor by profession. It appears that Palmer and Buckner carried something after all. In Dudley township, Haskell county, Kansas, they received five votes to four votes for McKinley and Hobart, two votes for Bryan and Sewall, and one vote for 'Bryan and Watson, thus triumphing by a plurality of one vote. This isn't much to be sure, but it at least saves them from the humiliation of a complete "akunk." Albion News. A qukek case of mental retrogression is reported from the university. R. S. Hunt, a sophomore, was slightly injured while playing basket ball in the "gym" the other day and after the game was finished he imagined himself a "prep" again. He hastened over to university hall to attend a class that he hadn't been a. member of for two years. He talked of things that were two years old and wanted to do things that had been done two years ago, (Lincoln Call. Keeipreeity. The yield of oranges in Florida, Louis iana'.and California has been inadequate, and so Mexico offers us hundreds of car loads of them. The yield of corn in the Mexican states of Guanajuato, Aguas Calientee and "Vera Cruz has been inade quate, and so the United States vtands 'ready to furnish them as much of it as they need. Load the ships with Ameri can corn for the Mexicans! Load the railroad cars with Mexican oranges for the Americans! It is a pleasant spetacle. The exportation of. American corn from Mobile and other southern ports to Tampko and Vera Cruz began aboata month' ago, and since that time more than 2,000,000 bushels have been shipped from Mobile alone. The Mexican gov ernment had temporarily remitted the castoms duty upon corn importations aad had made provisions for the sale of the grain at a very cheap price.

Since the cIom of the presidential cam paign and the triumphant election of McKinley we hear again and again that hia opponent, William Jennings Bryan, seemingly not satisfied with the verdict of the people rendered, will devote his time daring the next three years to the edacation of the voters of the country oa the sUrer question. The following, taken from the Mobile Begister, (dem.) pablished in a section of country that gave Mr. Bryan his strongest support, would indicate that the people there had been tboroaghly educated on that ques tion and that the next campaign will have to be fought out on entirely new lines: "The democrats of this country will have to learn as truths these things be fore they can ever again hope to control the government of this republic. "That bimetallism, or the concurrent use of gold and silver coin at a parity, is a myth. "That there are never two monetary standards in use at the same time. "That there is no possibility of keeping two metals at a saun valuation. That there is no natural antagonism between labor and capital. That socialism is negation of progress, and that progress is the keynote of the republic. That the federal government has the right to execute its own court processes. That the credit of the United States must be sustained." The Forum for December will contain a noteworthy symposium on "The Elec tionIts Lessons and its Warnings." The first paper in the group is contrib uted by the Hon. Andrew D. White, who, in a very valuable and suggestive article sets forth some of The Practical Lessons of the Recent Campaign. Dr. White is followed by Mr. D. MacGregor Means, a well known publicist of New York, who, under the title "Will Gov ernment by the People Endure?'' analy ses the causes of discontent which led to the recent crisis. Prof. Goldwin Smith completes the trilogy with a paper, en titled The Brewing of the Storm," in which he discusses the recent crisis from the point of view of an outsider. The general assembly of Georgia on the 17th elected Alexander Stevens Clay United States senator, to take the place of Ex-Speaker Crisp, lately deceased. JONES FAVORS A TAX ON BEER. Believe That a Central Kevinloa of the Tariff Weald Not Be Xeceuary. Washington, Nov. 24. Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas the chair man of the Democratic national com mittee, has returned to the city for the congressional session. In Ids talk, the senator expressed that it was not at all likely the Dingley revenue bill passed by the house at the last session, would be favorably acted on iu the senate. He favors a tax on beer in place of any gen eral tariff revision and says that by making this additional tax f 1 per barrel, about 930,000,000 revenue would be de rived. Sugar, the senator regards as a necessity of life, and further taxation of it would work against the interests of the people. The same is true of other articles of consumption, of which a great deal is used by the poor. The senator declares himself in favor of an income tax, so the rich should be made to contribute towards the burdens of the government. Senator Jones de clares the battle for free silver will be carried on until the metal is restored to the place it held before it was demon etized by the act of 1873. The leaders of the silver movement contemplate a gathering in the near future, when a discussion will be had as to the pros pects and steps taken looking to a con tinuation of the fight. From what the senator said, it is probable the Democrats will establish permanent headquarters in this city from which to keep up the campaign of 1900. Coaialalat Against Mexican. Washington, Nov. 24. Mrs. Ro aanna Finley, a citizen of the United States, has returned from Mexico by the kind assistance, she says, of Minister Ransom to lay before the state depart ment her story of robbery and outrage at the hands of natives in the Mexican states of Huatusco and Oaxaca. It ap pears Mrs. Finley went to Mexico in 1883 and practiced medicine there, tak ing the name of Dr. Virginia Bardolphi. The robbery of her money resulted from making loans which she could not col lect. Her requests for it were met by gross insults and she was persecuted by the inhabitants and twice thrown into prison and was on one occasion assaulted and robbod by a hand of soldiers. To Abolish Overtime Claims. Washington, Nov. 24. The system of allowing overtime claims of letter carriers throughout the country will be practically abolished soon. This is in accordance with the policy begun by Assistant Postmaster General Jones at the beginning of the administration. At that time claims for extra compensation for overtime in work were accumulat ing at the rate of 70,000 hours a month. This source of great expense to the ser vice has been steadily diminishing, and the reports for October show that the amount for that month was only 186 boors for regular letter carriers and 137 hours for substitutes. Death of a Veteran Pythian. New York, Nov. 24. One of the old est, best known and most distinguished members of the order of Knights of Pythias, Martin Luther Stevens, died at his residence in Brooklyn. He had been ill for a long time, his illness being brought on primarily, it is believed, by overwork. Mr. Stevens was one of the oldest Pythians in the country. He was especially distinguished in connec tion with the order by his reports as chairman of the committee on foreign correspondence, which had made his name famous in the order from ocean to ocean. Well Known Attorney Dies. Cleveland, Nov. 24. Milo B. Stev ens, one of the best known pension at torneys in the United States, died at his home here, aged 58. Stevens ever since the close of the war was known far and wide as a pension attorney, having been at the head of the firm of Milo B. Stev ens & Co., with the principal office in the Glover building, Washington, and branches in this city, Detroit and Chi cago. Hl(h Diver's Saccewfal Feat. Cleveland, Nov. 24. Kearney P. Speedy, the well known high diver, dived from the Superior viaduct into the river, 81 feet below. He was not injured aad was probably not nearly so frightened as some persons among the big crowd who witnessed the dive. He landed with a splash, but arose immed iately Kd was picked up by a small aoat ia readiness. Knocked Oat by Barns. Baltdcoke, Nov. 24.

Boatelle For Secretary of Navy. Cleveland, Nov. 24. A close friend of Chairman Hanna explained under what circumstances Mr. Hanna would accept a place in the cabinet. "Mr. Hanna," he said, "will either go into the cabinet or he will be the next Republican United States senator from Ohio. Mr. Hanna 's course must be de cided by Senator John Sherman. Both the chairman and Mr. McKinley under stand that and they are waiting to learn what position Mr. Sherman will take. Mr. McKinley wants Mr. Hanna to accept the treasury portfolio, but Mr. Hanna has other aspirations. He be lieves it would be a greater honor to be senator from Ohio. But Senator Sher man stands in the way of that. Mr. McKinley will offer Senator Sherman the position of secretary of state, and if he declines to go into the cabinet, then Mr. Hanna will accept the position of secretary of the treasury. Should Mr. Sherman . decide, however, to become one of President McKinley's advisers, thus vacating his seat in the senate, Mr. Hanna will become his successor." This same friend of Mr. Hanna says that it had practically been decided that Congressman Boutelle of Maine would be the secrrtary of the navy. Despite the fact that both General Miles and Colonel Fred Grant held a conference with Mr. McKinley, neither of them, says this gentleman, will get the port folio of war. Will Act as a Military Encort. Cleveland, Nov. 24. It is officially announced that troop A, National Guard, of this city, will act as the mili tary escort of President-elect McKinley at the inauguration ceremonies in Washington. The troops tendered its services before election and it is hinted they were accepted then, provisionally of course. Troop A, which was until recently an independent organization under the name of the First Cleveland troop is one of the finest military bodies in the country and probably embodies the most wealthy people in Cleveland in its membership. It is splendidly equipped and well drilled. In fact it has elicited expressions of admiration from regular army cavalry officers when ever it had been seen. Kentucky Contact. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 24. Secretary Richardson of the Democratic state cam paign committee has given out a state ment covering the grounds on which a contest on the electoral vote is to be made, first before the contest board, and if unsuccessful there, before the courts. It is claimed that irregularities have been discovered affecting sufficient votes to insure the election of 12 of the Demo cratic electors. It is claimed that on a great many ballots the voter's cross was placed only before the name of the first elector; that these ballots in the case of the Republicans were counted for the entire electoral ticket, whereas the Democratic ballots of this sort were counted for only the first elector, W. B. Smith. Money Used In Kansas Campaign. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 24. P. I. Bone brake, treasurer of the Republican state committee, has prepared a report show ing the amount of money received and spent by the committee during the re cent campaign.

Yost, this gave Flood a plurality. Blachbara Net Oat of the Fight. Cincinnati, Nov. 24.

A manufacturer who sells steel rods to wire nail concerns says: "When the nail pool was organised $1.70 a keg was made basis, and for each keg sold the manufacturer who entered into this 'gentlemen's agreement' was to receive that sum, the money mtiw; through the combination, and the sales being made by the officers of the pool, who have their headquarters in Boston. The output of each mill was fixed by these officers in order that the supply of nails should not exceed the demand and thus bear the market. Sales being made through the office of the pool, each man ufacturer in it was credited with $1.70 for every keg sold and the difference be tween the pool price and the market price was turned into the treasury and invested in good interest bearing securi ties. This surplus has reached a good size and is owned by the poolasa whole. What will be done with it only those on the inside know, but it is believed that it will be used in bolstering up the pool manufacturers, while the small fry are being strangled out of existence by the pooL" No Union OBlces. Kansas City, Nov. 24. For the first time in 20 years, there is not in Kansas City, a job printing office of any conse quence in which printers are questioned by the proprietors as to whether they belong to the Typographical union. The offices that have heretofore been strictly union are "open, "and so is the Hudson- Kimberly office, which has been strictly nonunion. So far the change has not produced any perceptible effect. This condition of affairs has been brought about by the action of the Typograph ical union in its fight against the Typo thetss in deciding not to withdraw their boycott on the Hudson-Kimberly firm a nonunion house. Accordingly employ ing printers belonging to the Typotheta) informed their foreman that hereafter their offices will be open. Kate Field Memorial Services. San Francisco, Nov. 24.

That Mm Be- Frlehtened Stated In a Cahla Thac His Recall Is Assnred Now, aa tha Spanish Oovernmont la Incensed at His Dilatory TaeUes. New Tore, Nov., 24. A dispatch to The World from Jacksonville. Fla,, says: A cipher cablegram from Havana to aCaban leader says General Weyler has been forced to return to Havana and that the city is in great confusion. Weyler gives no excuse, it is said, ex atf that it is too hot and unhealthy to do any fighting. It is openly asserted in Havana that Weyler became fright ened because Maceo had set a price apon his head for his capture. Wey ler's scouts informed him that Maceo might make an attempt on Havana, and the Spanish general retreated in hot haste to the safety of his palace. It is also stated in the cablegram thatWey kr's recall is assured now, as the Span ish government is incensed against him for his dilatory tactics. Cubans here are jubilant, for they think this will have a favorable effect upon congress. COMPETITOR PRISONERS ON TRIAL. In Splta of Coaaal Lee's Protest They Were Tried la a Spanish Prisoa. New York, Nov. 24. A dispatch to the World from Havana under date of Nov. 20 says: The Competitor prisoners have been tried by court martial in the fortress L Cabana, in spite of; Consul General Lees official protest, filed just before he left Havana. The exceptions taken by the prisoners were overruled by the naval courts. General Lee's note was pigeonholed and in defiance of Secretary Olney's intimation of disap proval, the Competitor's crew and Mr. Melton, the American newspaper corre spondent, have again been tried by a drumhead court sitting within the walls of a Spanish fortress, where, according to Captain General Weyler's orders, the representative of the United States con sulate may not enter. The prisoners were allowed neither interpreter nor counsel. Those partially acquainted with Spanish were compelled to inter pret for the others. So quietly was the affair conducted that Acting Consul General Springer does not know, it is said, that the case was virtually closed Nov. 14, on which day Melton, Maze, Dr. Vedia and the witness, George Ferren, were forced by Naval Judge Fernandez, to sign state ments admitting their complicity in the filibustering expedition which the Com petitor is alleged to have brought under Monson and Laborde to the Pinar del Bio coast. This written evidence is now under consideration by the court. Judge Saul said that a decision may be ren dered at any moment. It is expected that all the members of the party whose American citizenship has not been clearly shown will be shot.
