Special Seeaiea Eads. Washixgtox, March 11. There was an unusually largo attendance of members when Vice President Hobart called the Senate to order at noon to-day. The first business was the reading of a letter from Cover nor Bradley of Kentucky announc ing the appointment of Andrew T. Wood as senator, to succeed Mr. Black burn. Mr. Hoar moved that 'the senator-elect be s-.voru in and Mr. Gorman that the credentials be referred to the committee on privileges arid elections. Mr. Hoar said tha- he would not object to that motion, and the credentials were referred. Then Mr. Hoar presented written notice of two proposed radical amend ments to the rules. The most impor tant was, according to Mr. Hobart'tt written notice, "to enable the Senate to act upon legislation when it desires, after a reasonable debate.' It pro vides that when any bill or resolution shall have been under consideration more than one -day, any senator may demand that debate be closed, and, if a majority of the senators so decide, there shall be a vote without further delay and no motion shall be in order pending the vote but one to adjourn or take a recess. The other amendment proposed that when a senator shall make the point of no quorum there shall be a roll call, and if the pres ence of a quorum be disclosed, business shall be proceeded with. On motion of Alctrich the Senate went into executive session and recon sidered its action to adjourn until Monday till II o'clock and agreed to adjourn sine die. A memorial was presented by Mr. Shoup from the Idaho legislature ask ing for the annexation of a part of Wyoming. It was referred, lint Mr. Warren said that if the Wyoming leg islature had been informed of the me morial it would have taken action. The nomination of W. R. Jewett as postmaster at Danville, I1L, was re ceived and he was confirmed. This is the first postmaster appointed and is to fill a vacancy. During the adminis tration of Mr. Cleveland the name of John Beard was sent to the senate at every session, but he was not confirmed. At 12:40 o'clock the special session was ended. M'KINLEY'S PLAN. Iateraatieaal Bimetallism Throusb American Ministers. Washington, March 11. It is under stood that the Preaident will not ap point members of an international conference commission or take any steps toward calling a conference until after the expiration of the special ses sion of Congress. The President has in mind a very comprehensive plan for dealing with the whole monetary question. It is understood that he will at first confine negotiations with foreign governments to the usnal diplomatic agencies. All the ambassadors and ministers to foreign governments appointed by 3fr. Mc Kinlcy will be given special instruc tions to devote particular attention to bringing about a friendly understand ing on the monetary question. They are expected to assume an attitude friendly to bimetallism, and to exert what influence they can toward induc ing the countries to which they are accredited to give the matter serious consideration. CIVIL SERVICE RULES. The Presldeat aad Cabinet Said to Have Decided to Coatinae Past Exteaslons. Washington, March 11. It is said that the members of the cabinet, at their meeting yesterday, discussed in a general manner the subject of pat ronage and civil service.

Postofiiccs and other offices be coming vacant are to be filled from time to time, regardless of this role. DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS. Saaatora Appolat a New Steering Com salttea to Coaalder tha Sitoatloa.

The Re publican aaeaibera of the Hobm way aad maeaas osauaittee nearly diipoMfl of tha sagar achedale yaatrday. Tha; freed TUtaauBomaly to iaipoM apacific duties, aad atadethe duty on smgai testlBg M dagraeasaecharhia streagth, polaracopie test, 1.61 cents a pound, and above 94 degrees 3-100 of a cent more, and below 96 degrees 3-100 of a cent less for each degree. This will make the dnty about 1 cent for sugat of .75 degrees or less. It was agreed that the discriminating dnty against sugar from export bounty-paying countries should be the net amount of the export bounty. Fox purposes of reciprocity the president was authorized to reduce the duty of a cent a pound, or 12)f cents per 100 pounds, when coming from the coun tries which, in his opinion give reci procal advantages. The differential between raw and refined sugar was not fixed, but it will ba about H of a cent a pound. The committee was unanimously opposed to a federal bounty. The increased dnty probably will bring the revenue from sugar up to $50,000,000 a year. Under the Wil son law it is (30,000,030. MAY COMPROMISE- Tha Latest Scheme for tha Settlement of tha Seaate Cosaplleatleaa. Washixgto.v. March 11. There is a prospect that the two leading parties in the Senate tho straight Republic ans and the straight Democrats will come to an agreement as to the organ ization of that body which will leave the silver Republicans, Prohibi tionists and Populists in the cold. It is understood that one compromise plan which will be offered to both caucuses will be to give the - regular Republicans control of the finance committee by appoint ing two of their number to fill the va cancies caused by the withdrawal of Sherman and Voorhees and to permit Sergeant-at-Arms Bright and Secretary Cox, with the Democratic clerk, to hold on for another term. As a part of this plan it is proposed to give the scatter ing opposition such recognition on committees as individual merit, rank and experience will command. How far this scheme can be carried into effect without endangering the tariff law remains to be seen, but if it should be adopted the free silver Republican senators whose votes are needed for the tariff bill will fare well. M UST WAIT AWH I LE. raw Appoiatmeats to Be Made L'atU the Tariff BUI Ia rasaed. Washixqtox, March Ji. All of tho officers of the new cabinet have indi cated a purpose to go very slow in the change of the personnel in their de partments. This not very cheerful news to ofheeseekers has been com municated directly to many of the as pirants who have been unable to re press their ambitions; and to add to their discomfort, it is intimated in some quarters that there ye to bo very few ohanges in office, save where the incumbent insists upon immediate retirement, for some time to come. This may be an overestimate of the conservatism displayed by the admin istration, but it Is recalled that Mr. McKinley, before his inauguration, held to the view that the changes in office, with all its accompanying confusion and derangement of busi ness, should not be undertaken until the tariff bill is enacted. This view is brought freshly to mind by the state ment made yesterday tnat a promi nent assistaut secretary in one of the executive departments has been asked to remain in his place for five months, SHERMAN to oPAIN. Immediate Expalsloa of Americana With Iasnrg-ent Leasing Sug-g-ested. Wasuixgtox, March 11. Secretary Sherman has announced to his associ ates that he is in a fair way to make an arrangement with Spain that will remove the great cause of irritation in Cuba, having submitted to the Spanish government through Miuister Tay lor a proposition that American citizens shall be immediately expelled from the island without imprisonment or prosecution unless they shall volnn taiily return and place themselves ". jeopardy. This would not apply, how ever, to persons engaged in active hos tilities and taken with arms in their hands. Mr. Sher:nan is also proposinc to negotiate a treaty with Spain by which the rights of naturalized citizens shall be defined. For Democratic Hoase Leader. Washixutox, March 11. There is quite a spirited contest going on among the House Democrats over the nomina tion for speaker in the Democratic cau cus, because the position gives the suc cessful man the leadership of the mi nority, a place on the committee on rules and possibly the ways and means. Them is now a three-cornered fight for the place, McMillin and Rich ardson of Tennessee and Bailey of Texas bcinf- the candidates. It was also said that Bland of Missouri would be a candidate, but if he is the fact is not known by Democratic leaders. The present outlook is that Bailey is in the lead.

NEBRASKANS MEET THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE. escorted hy Senate Tharste, They TtsH the White Haass aa Kb jay a CersMal Iaterehaagw et Caere I with New Maa IartaHew Kahraskaaa' Oepartara. Xebraakaaa at the White Washington special: Residents of Nebraska and their friends sojourning :n Washington were given a chance to meet President McKinley today through :he courtesy of Senator Thurston, who conceived the idea that as many of the sojourners here would be leaving for :heir homes tomorrow, it would be a rracious thing to introduce them to the president. Accordingly a telegram was sent to the white house asking if the president would receive the Ne braska delegation, and visiting friends it an hour to be named by the execu tive. At 3:30 tf clock a number of Ne braskans, including Church Howe, Attorney Atkinson of Lincoln, F. A. Collins, Henry T. Oxnard, General C. ). Bilis of Fairbury, L. L. Lindsey of Lincoln, and W. E. Peebles of Pender, with Senator Thurston as chief of tho delegation, called upon the president and were presented to him in his pri vate room. There was a cordial inter change of courtesies and chat on cur rent events. Senator Allen was in vited to attend with the party, but he declined. Many of the Nebraskan are already leaving for their homes and by morning but few of the old campaigners will be left, Dawes Coaaty Faraaer Finds OIL Crawford dispatch: James English, perhaps one of the wealthiest farmers in this neighborhood, while having a well drilled on a piece of land about two miles southeast of Crawford struck oil. The well is now fifty feet deep. Rock was struck at about twenty feet, und the drillers reported indications of oil after they had drilled about twenty feet into the rock; they went down ten feet further that day and the next morning there was about ten feet of water in the hole, with over a foot of oil floating on the surfac. The oil is as clear as refined oil, and a rag saturated with it burns up as brill iantly as if saturated with the best grades shipped in. English was in town yesterday and took out some ap paratus for gathering a quantity of the oil, which he will send to the state university. With the apparatus at hand here it is almost impossible to measure the amount of oil floating on the water in the well, but some re liable persons say it is about one-third oil. The report of the state university is looked forward to with much in terest. A Mas of Exteaaire Travel. Since the death of Joseph Deunser at Fremont last week it has been ascer tained that he was a man who had traveled very extensively. He was a '49cr in California. He then went tc Australia and spent several years in the mining camps and traveled about the interior of the country. On his re turn from Australia he stopped for 2 time in Tahiti and other South Scz islands and lived for awhile in Hone lulu. After putting' in some time at various mining camps in Arizona, New Mexico and Montana he went back tc Germany, from whence he returned and settled upon a farm in Saunders couny, this state. Passes Over the Short Ltae. General Manager Dickinson of the Union Pacific has just issued the fol lowing order: "JJj- assent of the Oregon Short Line railroad company trip passes of Union Pacific issue to points west of Granger, Wyo., and north or south of Ogden, Utah, granted prior to March 10, 1897, w ill be honored up to the dates of their expiration, but no annual or time passes of Union Pacific issue will be accepted by the Oregon Short Line railroad companv on and after May 1, 1897' Hartley's Bondsmen. Ex-State Treasurer J. S. Hartley and his bondsmen appeared before Judge Corcoran and entered bond for the ap pearance of Hartley on April 19. The bondsmen and the amounts in which they justified are as follows: W. A. Paxton, 1.'.-,000: Webster Eaton, 55,000; . A. Hackney, SI ,000; B. R. Cowdery, 81,000; J. B. Trickey, 53,000: T. J. Majors, 620,000; R. II. Townley, $10,000; W. A. Dilworth, 52,000. ef Affairs la a Tangle. The state board of the league oi American wheelmen, comprising A. B. Pease of Fremont, D. A. Finch of Grand Island, D. C. Eldrcge of York, and D. J. O'Brien and E. B. Henderson of Omaha, held a meeting at Omaha. The affairs of the late secretary-treasurer, W. M. McCall of Grand 'island, are yet in very much of a tangle, and means were devised to straighten them out. The Omaha Exposition. Washington dispatch: The depart ments are going right ahead with theii arrangements for the Omaha exposi tion as though nothing had heppened. and the officials in charge express not the least anxiety that anything will hold up the appropriation for the gov ernment exhibit as soon as the new congress tackles the appropriation bills. Great is Nebraska, Nebraska is first on the list in a great many things, and now comes Omaha with anothei list of winners. The an nual bench show at St. Louis is on. and in the list of awards that city shows up with the entire winnings ol the Newfoundland class, owned by Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Jackson of that city. Comrades Disagree. The G. A. R. posts of Lincoln nnc Grand Island are at quite'a divergence in regard to the establishment ol soldiers' homes in this state. Farm gut post of Lincoln sent a letter to the Grand Island post in which it express ed sorrow and inability to "compre hend .he motive of any comrade or comrades who are seeking- to adandon ar in otherwise cripple or restrict sol diers' home accominodntionsfor onr aged, infirm and poor comrades.' Both homes are needed and needed tadly for the present wants of our eomradus and .vill be needed worse in the near future. Mr. Bryan Goes to Salem. Chicago dispatch: William J. Bryan, who arrived in Chicago from the cast. accompanied by Mrs. Bryan and their daughter Grace, remained in the citj ane day to confer with the publishers A his book, while his family continued its journey to the Ncbraski home.

Next week he has engage ments to address the legislatures of Arkansas and Tennessee. He will also lecture at Nashville, and then return home, to remain some time. Seeding la Precinct Lists. In answer to requests from Secretary sf State Porter, fifty-one county clerks on the 5th sent in lists of the "various precincts in their counties. These lists are for the use of the commission en rraged in recounting the ballots cast for the constitutional amendments. As the returns were sent by the county clerks it was found that some of the precincts were missing. As the cont tnission has no information concerning the number of precincts in each county these lists were absolutely necesaarjf". Thirty-nine counties are still tosen6Vi) their lists; NEBRASKANS ABROAD. e ef These Who are Temporarily la Waahlagtea. From the State Journal's special cor respondent: The Nebraska contin gent who are willing to serve their country are all here and strictly on deck. They are a little bluo this even ing over the announcement that ap pointments may not be made very shortly, and that the tariff, rather than patronage, is at present prominent in the president's mind. Every eye is turned to Senator Thurston, who is looked upon as the Moses to lead them to the promised land. The presence of .Hon. Church Howe in town for a week or so past has caused the gossips to speculate upon his cfiances for securing something under this administration. Just what he has his eye upon is not certain, but it is believed. that he came to W aan ington cocked and primed with an ap plication for appointment as third assistant postmaster general. Senator Thurston, it is understood, has Mr. Howe's claims for recognition under advisement. Nominations for office have not yet begun to come into the senate in force. When they do several holdover post offices in Nebraska are likely to be filled by nomination of Major McKin ley. Mr. Cleveland made the nomina tion of Charles A. Huck of North Bend, Dodge county; T. W. Lceper. Oakland, Burt county; John M. Smith, Cozad, Dawson county; S. W. Kelley, Beaver City, Furnas county, and Francis A. Simonds, Cedar Rapids, Boone county. All of these nominations lapsed by the expiration of the Fifty-fourth congress without any action being taken upon them. Allof them occur in counties that will be represented in the next house by populists and it will conse quently fall to the lot of Senator Thurston to recommend appointees for these positions. As the vacancies in the offices have now been waiting for some time the nominations will doubt less be among the first that President McKinley will send into the senate. A. D. Peebles of Pender is also in evidence as an applicant for the Omaha and Wicnebafro Indian agency now held by Cupt. W. II. Beck. Peebles is said to have Senator Thurston's back ing. It is rumored that .Representative Eugene J. Hainer of Nebraska is to be pushed for one of the assistant secre taryships of the treasury. Mr. Hainer has been in bed for three weeks and the report cannot be verified. The comptroller of the currency recognizes the following changes in Nebraska national banks: First national bank. Fremont. II. J. Lee. vice president, in place of S. R. Colson: First national bank, Orleans. M. F. Burton, vice president; Arthur Me Grew, assistant cashier, in place of M. F. Burton; Genoa national bank, Genoa. D. R. Chittrick, cashier, in place of II. Bruncr; Union Stock Yards national bank. South Omaha. J. A. Creighton. president, in place of John A. Mc Shane: F. II. Davis, vice president, in place of W. A. Paxton. The First national bank of Chicago has been approved as reserve agent for the First national bank of Nelson, Neb. William E. Muftley of Nebraska has been appointed a binder in the govern ment printing office sit $3.20 per diem. Free Transportation of Corn to Snfferlng People In Incll:i. A special to the Omaha World-ncrald says the Nebraska relief commission has given out the following: After much correspondence and other labors on the part of the Nebraska relief commission, arrangements have at last been completed to transport all donations of corn from Nebraska for the famine-stricken people of India free of charge from the Missouri river to the shores of India and the homes of famine. Lust month the committee notified the public through the newspapers of these arrangements. We again appeal to Nebraska people to make generous contributions for this great and needv charity. Let it be known to the world not only that Nebraska abounds in productivefields and abundant crops, but also that its people are able to appreciate the needs and sufferings of their fellow men everywhere, and are prepared to give from their own abun dance. We appeal also that such con tributions as are made, be made promptly. The ravages of the India famine bring hundreds every day. men women and children, to the untimelv death of hunger and disease: the neds are present and fcarfullv imoerativc: what is done should be done quickly to silence the cry of hunger among th" famishing myraids of India. Aside from that the committee is anxious to comnletc its task at as early a date as possible, so it asks that all contributions of corn nnd monoy be made as quickly as possible. For further information write to the secretarv of the relief committee. II. O. Rowlands, chairman: M. D. Welch, secretary. Tlie Kx-Anflitor Mn-rling. The friends of ex-State Auditor Eugene Moore arc making an effort to raise the money which is yet due the state from that officer and thus secure the dismissal of the suit which is now pending against him. The amount which Moore had collected, and which he has not turned over to the state, is about 823.000. and if the energy of Moore and his friends couut for any thing the money will be secured before lone, if it is to be had in the country. A friend of Mr. Moore, discussing the deficiency, said Moore may not be able to raise the money necessary to pay up his deficiency by March 24. the time set for his preliminary hearing, but it will ve raised in time to prevent a trial of the case. It is doubtful if either side will be ready to go to trial when the case is called, and it is very ;)rob ablc that a continuance will be grant ed. The extra time thus secured will enable Mooie to secure the money to pay to the state. G. A. K. Keaolntlon. G. A. R. Post No. 23.

Tho Kara Kara shrub, or, as botanists call It, "Piper Methyatlcum." grows on the banks of the Ganges river, and probab ly was used for centuries by the natives before Its extraordinary properties be came known to civilisation through Christian missionaries.

It Is a wonderful discovery, with a record of 1,200 hospital cures in thirty days. It acts directly upon the blood and kid neys, and Is a true specific, just as qui nine Is in malaria.

A ROGUE ELEPHANT. GaHty af Kaay Tanrar t Kvarybatfyk From the Madras Staadard. Duria a recent religious festival at AlTartirunagari, ea the banks of the TambraxBiai, a terribly tragedy was ea acted by aa elephant. Like most large temples this has its periodical festivals, one of which has just been celebrated. Certain elephants were brought down from Nungunerl and Tinnevelly for the festivities of the occasion. All went smoothly till, unfortunately, the large elephant of Nungunerl, being in a rut, run amuck. The mahout unwittingly took up a little child (son of the Temple Darmakartha) and placed it in front of him on the neck of the elephant. Alarmed at the state of the elephant, the mahout endeavored to quietly pass the child out of danger by handing it to somebody behind. He was not quick enough to elude the sagacity of the elephant, which snatched up the child, put it into his mouth, and began munching it. Tho mahout, horrified at the sight, jumped down and tried to ex tricate the child, which he succeeded in doing, but not before the child was well nigh dead. Indeed, it only breathed for a few minutes afterward, and then expired. "Enraged beyond all bounds, the animal became furious, and in its mad rage seized the mahout, dashed him to the ground, and then trampled out any. little breath that might have rtlll remained in the body. And here cones a strange and touching incident Repenting seemingly of his awful misdeed, tho elephant gathered up what wa3 the moment before his master, proceeded to his (the mahout's) horse, and, depositing his mournful buiden at h's door, passed on. The people gener lly, in great dread, closed their doors and windows. The elephant wildly rushed along the streets and came to the temple, the door of which, too, had been closed. It thereupon battered the door, and passing into the enclosure, furiously attacked the little elephant of Tinnevelly, which it pierced with its tusks and soon killed. Emerging thence, the elephant rushed madly along the river close by, where it began throwing mud and sand all over itself. In the meantime, the police con stables had got their muskets loaded, and, climbing out of danger, took pot shots at the furious animal, which they eventually succeeded in disabling and ultimately Killlrt"- 1867 BUS.
