him no relief beyond the prolit which may ac

its second election on county seat removal
with the following result : Hcmlngford , 500 ;
Alliance , -102 ; Nonpareil , M2 ; total vote ,
1,050. This settles the question so far as
Nonpareil , the present county seat is con
cerned. The law governing these eases makes
threc-llfths of the whole vote cast necessary
to a selection on the first or second ballots. .
None of the three contesting points received'
the requisite votes , Then follows the drop
ping from the list the place receiving the
lowest vote , when the third and llnal ballot
nt the next general election requires simply a
majority. So Nonpareil will continue to hold
the county seat until November , when it will
go to Hemingford or Alliance.

WASIIIXOTOX. D. C. , April 9. )
There will be n lively caucus of the republi
can members of the house tomorrow evening.
The caucus is called for the purpose of agree
ing upon an order of business in general , but
spccilleally to determine a course to be fol
lowed upon general pension legislation , the
silver coinage bill mid the tariff bill. Both
parties as represented in the htmto are thor
oughly divided on one or more of these sub
jects. There are not many state delegations
which stand solidly together upon more than
one of these questions. It is likely that u
determination will be reached whereby the
service pension bill will be called up again
under a suspension of the rules , so ns to cut
oft debates and amendments. It > nay possi
bly bo taken up in the regular way , whereby
a majority will pass it , with the understanding -
ing that the republicans shall Maud together
and vote down all amendments proposed. The
proposition to again call the bill up under a
a suspension of the rules meets with greater
favor , as the republicans tire much in earnest
about having this measure passed and fear it
will be loaded down witli amendmants if It
comes up on any other than n suspension of
the rules day.
There appears to be a larpe majority in
favor of the silver coinage bill ns it was re
cently reported to the house committee
on weights and measures , although it is be
lieved that the senate favors the bill of Sena
tor Jones , of Nevada. The bouse bill differs
from the bill of Senator Jones very materially.
The latter simply requires the coinage of
$4,500,000 a month , and there is no discretion
given to the secretary of the treasurv to sus
pend" this amount of purchase of silver bul
lion. The house bill provides for the un
limited free coinage of American sli
ver. The friends of silver from
every direction will insist upon the house bill
being adopted.
It is not likely that an agreement could bo
reached upon the tariff bill during one even
ing's caucus. There arc- local interests which
divide almost every state delegation , although
there are not more than four or live questions
of anything like general importance upon
which the republicans separate. The repub
lican members of the committee on ways and
means say they would be glad to close the
general debate on the tariff bill after four or
Jlyo days , ullowhnr every one free access to
the Congressional Record for the publication
of regular speeches , and it is said the
democratic members of tlio committee
are also in favor of curtailing the gen
eral debate. It will take probably a
couple of weeks to pass over the bill under
the live-minute rule , as almost every one of
the ! UO members will want to consume the llvo
minutes allotted to him upon every proposition
in the bill. There was some general talk
arouud the capital today about disposing of
the turiff-bill-uml other important legislation
with a view of adjourning congress about the
middle of .Tune , but the b'est calculators be-
lievoit will require very him ! and line work
to get throuuh bv the middle of July , while
the appearances indicate that August will bo
reached before adjournment. Some doubt
has been expressed at times , even
in republican circles , of the ilnal pas
sage of the tariff bill. It seems
perfectly safe to say , after careful investiga
tion today by your correspondent , that the
tariff bill , practically as it will come from the
committee , will puss and by a safe majority.
It is true therearo a mnnbcrof minor features
which do not entirely meet with the views
and tlio desires of thos-e most directlv inter
ested. Thus the tobacco men will at tiie very
last stage move an amendment repealing tlio
Internal tax on tobacco , but thev state very
frankly that if Mich-amendment is not adopted
by the house they will none the less heartily
support the bill. So , too , there are many re
publicans who would prefer to see tin plate
on the free list , and an amendment to that
effect will be offered , but if the amendment is
rejected they will nevertheless heartily vote
for the bill , A tariff bill witl pass both houses
and be signed by tlio president before the
present session of congress adjourns.
WII.I , IlllINO JOY TO SIViiAI. : : ! .
The house bill makinir an appropriation for
the reimbursement of members of congress
who lost various sums in the way of salary
by the defalcation of Cashier Silcott passed
the senate today without one word of debuto.
Mr. Hale , from the committee on appropria
tions , simply called the bill tip and stated
that it was a matter concerning the affairs of
the members of tne house exclusively , that
the house was responsible for its own indi
vidual disbursements and they were above
question by the senate , and the bill passed
without a single yea or nay being
heard In the senate chamber. The measure
will bo signed by the president and the
members of the house will get their money
before the end of the week. The appropria
tion is simply to reimburse members for their
November salary. There is on deposit with
the United States treasurer a sufficient
amount of money to reimburse members for
their deposits and accumulated salary with
the sergeant-nt-arnis at the time of Silcott's
disappearance. Some members will feel an
inclination to "paint the town red. " Thus ,
for instance , the Hon. Marcus Smith of
Tombstone , Ari/ , , will receive 5,000 , and
Marcus bus in the city a largo number of
cowboy friends who will hall with delight
the repletion of the Smith treasury. The Hon.
Roger Q. Mills of Corsicana , Tex. , will dr.iw
1,000 and his Texas friends who have been
waiting around for transportation homo will
bo given a free ride.

WASHINGTON , April il.--Miv < \ , jounselnuiu
and Nelson of the Chicago board of trade
today argued against the Butterworth anti-
option bill. Counselman endowed the llr.U
soiHIon of llio bill forbidding privileged or
class dealings. The section , however , which
forbids dealing by any one but a producer and
purchases direct from him In any article not
in possession of the seller , wipi'd out the busi
ness of himself and all legitimate as well as
Illegitimate dealers. The bill would damage
the farmer more than it could possiblv aid
him. If the producer should sell direct to the
consumer the farmers of Kansas mid Ne
braska , Instead of receiving 10 and 15 cents a
bushel this winter for corn , which was little
enough , would not have received fi cents a
bushel. There must be middle men. The
trouble sought to be alleviated by the biM
arose from bucket shop dealings , which were
gambling transactions pure and simple. The
Chicago board of trade Is lighting the bucket
shops , which the speaker likened to faro
banks , the proprietor being the dealer. Coun
selman was given a copy of the amended bill
to study with a view to suggesting a provision
by which legitimate dealers may bo protected
and the business of illegitimate speculators
abolished.

But this shall not bo held to prohibit the

receive the sumo , or through such state to any
other state or territory in which such manu
facture or sale Is not permitted. "
