PIjAYKD AM IMPORTANT 1'AHT.
Senator Frank Wclss'lnger , whoso ( loath
occurred thlo forenoon , has played a more
Important patt In the fennte than any othur
senator of tlio general nsucmWy. To him Is
due the arrangement .of n pair with Senator
Btogo , the republican member from Uouls-
vlllo , which prevented "Iho republicans from
having a majority on Joint ballot ou the
death cf Mr. Wilson a few weeks ngo. But
for this Dr. Hunter would now be UnltoJ
Slates senator.
Wclialnger has constituted a backbone of
the democratic opposition to Senator Illack-
burn. Dill \Vclst4nKcr the election of
Hunter or Ilhcklmrn would have occurred
weeks 020 and neither the republicans nor
the democrats will deny this. The con
trolling Influence- exercised over the con
test was emphasized Saturday , when but for
hh release of Senator Chambers , tcpub-
Hcan from n pair , In order that the latter
might vote for Carlisle , Dlackburn would no
doubt have carried the day.
Mossrr. Kdrlngtcn and Poor , the two popu
lists , seem determined to vote with the
Ulackburn oldo en all propositions. This
gives the democrats a majority on Joint bal
lot and but for the division In their ranks
an election would be possible.
Great pressure was bronchi to bear upon
the democratic opposition to Ulackburn thlo
morning. 11 comes from Louisville and other
Influential points In the state and has been
directed to Carroll nnd his associates , who ,
oxcoit on the first ballot Saturday , have
oteadtastly refused to Join the Ulackburn
forces. Mr. Carroll spent Saturday night
and Sunday In Louisville , his homo , and had
conferences with leading democrats ot that
city. This morning teiograma wore received
from many sources. Indicating a desire to
secure the election of a democratic senator
If It Is powlblo to do so and leaving the In
ference tlmt strong prosouro to this end had
boon brought to bear upon Mr. Carroll.
- IN A CHAOTIC CONDITION.
Everything concerning the situation this
morning seemed chaotic. All day yesterday
and last night until a late hour the friends
of IJlackburn and of Doyle held conferences
In an eJfort to perfect plans to be pursued
In today's Joint assembly. A delegation of
ten prominent republicans from Populist
Poor's district arc hero to urge Mr. Poor to
vote against Senator IJlackburn. They were
mot at the train hy Governor Bradley , who
escorted them to Hoylo's headquarters nt the
Capitol hotel. Tbey did not register and
sought to keep their presence a secret. Dr.
Harbour was one of those at the head of
the delegation.
Mr. Poor was sent for , but the first In
terview wna not encouraging to the mis
sionaries.
Republican activity was directed solely
to the prevention of the election of IJlack
burn , and It was given out In this con
nection that If It came to n contest be
tween Dlackburn and Carlisle , the repub
licans would vote ' for Carlisle. At least
the great majority of the sixty-eight mem
bers talked this way. Among those most
positive In such nsncrtlons were Speaker
IJlanford , Senators James atvl Deboe and
lloprcsonlHtlves Howard , nurnham ami
Adams , Chambers and others. A few re
publicans , headed by Lyons , the free sll-
vor member from CampbtVll county , da-
clarcd that If any attempt was made bj
the republicans to stampede to Carlisle
they would vote for Dlackburn. It Is .1
significant fact , however , that the free sll.
vo vote that could be swung from the re
publicans to Dlackburn Is less than the
democratic force that Is likely to follon
Carlisle. The secretary's friends clalmci !
he would have twenty-five votes , some plac
ing It as high as twenty-eight.
In order to prevent a stampede of an }
kind the republicans early decided to have
n number &f recognized leaders on the flooi
of the house , who should bo obeyed Im
plicitly by the ranlc and flic. At a slgna
from these leaders It wan understood tha
a. quorum would be broken whenever I
was thought necessary that any such stei
bo taken.
The republicans , while giving It out thai
they were ready to go to Carlisle at anj
time , were really working to elect the re
publican nominee.
Dlackburn's frlendcj still profess to be
Hove that at the crucial moment the dem
ocratlc vote will bo united upon him.
One striking Incident In the joint scssloi
followed the proposition of Speaker Ulan
ford to exclude from the session all but mem
bers and Journalists , "In crdor , " ho said
"to prevent a repo'tltlon of last Saturday' !
Intimidation of sound money democrats. '
Before- the echo of his last words died awa ;
Senator Violet was on his feet. He tuld
with emphasis : "No , sir , Mr. Speaker
they did not Intimidate us , they only trloJ It
but'did not succeed. "

WASHINGTON , March 9. Another stir
ring chapter In the Spanlih-Cuban contro
versy was added by the penato today. Many"
senators Indicated a deolre to bo heard on
thq subject and the conference report , ac
cepting the house Cuban resjlutlons , wont
over until tomorrow. In anticipation that
the last stage of the Cuban question would
bo reached the senate galleries were be
sieged by the greatest crowd seen since
the cession opened. All ot the public nnd
reserved galleries were filled to overflowing ,
with long lines cf people standing In the
corridors , eager to gain admission. The
diplomatic gallery was occupied by Am
bassador Patcnotro ot France , Ministers
Mcmlonca of Brazil , Hatch , ot Hawaii , Duron
von Kcttlcr ot the German embassy , Messrs.
Ha and Chung of the Chinese legation and
many ot the secretaries , attaches and mem-
ors of the legation households. The bright
: osUime3 ot tha women ot the diplomatic
Irclo and the rich robes ot the Chinese
diplomats gave a touch ot bright color
o the animated scene.
The speech of the day wag made by Senator
lalo In vigorous opposition to this resolu-
lon nnd to the offensive Interference of the
United States In foreign questions. The
: enator declared the spirit of militarism was
.broad In the ) land ; that our course Involved
.ho posjlblllty of war , with Its dreadful
: onscqucnces. Mr. Halo brought out the
nmlly action of Spain at the time of our
ilvll war , when British-built privateers were
prevented from remaining for any length
of tlmo In Spanish ports nnd when Amerl-
: an prisoners were aboard they were released
by Spanish orders. A dramatic Incident
ccurred when Mr. Halo offered to read the
statement of Minister do Lome of Spain ,
calling In question the accuracy of some of
ha statements made by Senators Sherman ,
Morgan nnd Lodge , concerning Spanish
atrocities.
SENATORS PROTEST.
Mr. Davh ot Minnesota quickly objected to
the reception of a document from a foreign
nlnlstcr not formally transmitted. Meosrs.
Mitchell , Morgan and Teller added their pro-
tosto In the same direction. For a tlmo there
was some confusion and a prospect of n
serious conflict , but the soranlty of the
debate was restored by Mr. Davis withdraw
ing his objection. It Is expected the debate
tomorrow will continue to have an anlmatei
phass. Mr. Hoar offered a resolution to
day postponing all action on the Cuban ques
tion until April 8. This resolution will come
up under the rules tomorrow and may fern
the basis of opposition to an adoption o
the house conference report. Another res
olutlon by Mr. Hoar was adopted , calling 01
the president for all available Information on
the Cubin question.
The laiter part of the day was given to
the Dupont contest , Mr. Turple arguing
against the claim ot Mr. Dupont.
The bill was passed fixing stringent penal
ties for mutiny and other offenses on Amerl
can vessels ou the high seas , whether par
tlclpated In by passengers or the crew.
Before the main branch of the Cuban quej
tlon ( the adoption of the conference report
came up , Mr. Hoar offered two
resolutions bearing on the subject
One , which went over under the
rulss. postponed further consideration of thn
Cuban resolutions until April C and ilircc'oii
the committee on foreign relations to secure
and .report all available facts. Mr. Ilea
did not press this to consideration and i
went over.
The other resolution from Mr. Hoar wa
agreed to. It calls on the president 'n
available Information as to the status r-
affairs In Cuba , particularly so far -U tluy
concern the Interests of the Unlto.l States.
MOVED TO ADOPT THE REPORT.
At 11:15 : Mr. Sherman moved the adoption
of the conference report accepting the hous
Cuban resolutions. By this time the publl
Galleries were packed. In the dl3 omntl
gallery eat Mr. Ho and Mr. Chung of th
Chinese lecatlon , Baron von Kettlar ot th
Cermau embassy. Minister Mendonca o
Brazil and other members of the dlp'iimatl
corivs.
Mr. Hale spoke energetically agalns
the resolutions. Ho did not thinl
the Inflammatory statements made b >
senators In justifying the resolutions were
backed up by facts. In 1S70 this condltlo
of affairs existed and air effort was made t
Involve the United States In the controversy
At that time the house committee on forcig
affairs , presided over by General Banks , re
ported a resolution similar to this ono. 13u
fortunately for the causa of peace and pros
ress , thcro was then , said Mr. Halo , a man i
the president's chair whoso love of liberty an
patriotism was certainly equal to that of an
of the members of the committee on forelg
relations a man who knew the'real mean
Ing of war General Grant. The messag
General Grant sent to congress was as per
tlnent today as It was at that tlmo and I
was an unantwerablo plea against the presen
resolutions.
Portions of President Grant's message wer
read from the desk. Mr. Hale said the tnsur
gents now fighting In Cuba had no legislature
no courts , no organization , such as Genera
Grant had set forth as absolutely requlslt
to the recognition of a btate of war. The !
power , he said , is seated In straggling bands
occupying straggling camps , and to this daj
not only have the Insurgents not won a
battle but they have not fought anything
worthy of the name of a battle. Mr. Hale
compared the condition In Spain with tha
In the south when the confederacy was recog
nlzcd. He s5d ! the confederacy was completely
pletoly organized , with full legislative am
executive branches and established courts , am
with a formidable army and navy , And yet , a
that time , our State department , preside *
over by M. . Seward , urged and protested to
European powers against even a llmltei
recognition of the confederacy , and always
after Insisted on the rescinding of that recog
nltlon.
"Did Spain ever rescind ? " Interjected Mr
Mitchell of Oregon.
SPAIN HAD BEEN FRIENDLY.
Mr. Hale said he was glad to hear this In
qulry , as It allowed an answer to those who
seemed to think that Spain was less friendly
to us than other nations at the time ot th
civil war. No other ntalon , ho declared , hat
tliown the friendly disposition that Spain
hid shown at that time , Never did she altow
a British-built privateer to stay In a Spanlsl
port more than on hour. When such a
privateer entered with American prisoners
Spain demanded and secured their release
Mr. Halo said the only explanation for th
public and press clamor against Spain wa
that the country and congress had been
falsely and mendaciously misled with condt
tlons which did not exist ,
Mr. Hale referred to the statements mad
by Mr. Sherman as to the atrocities commit
ted by General Weyler , It had been sine
shown that there was an Iifgcnlotis effor
to fasten on the Spanish-Cuban situation o
today events of fifteen years ago. But thes
alleged events were mendacious fabrications
fiction , irom beginning to end , set up by
somebody to distort public feellnc.
At this point a sensational event occurrci
which no one had anticipated , and which , tea
a tlmo , threw the senate Into great excite
ment. Mr. Hale said the Spanish minister
Senor Dupuy de Lome , had made a state
ment as to the Inaccurate representation
against Spain U was not surprising , t
view of the attacks on Spain , that the minis
ter had done this fittingly and diplomatically
Mr. Hale sent the Spanish minister's statement
mont to the clerk's desk to be read.
It had hardly been begun when Sena
tor Davis rose and Interrupted : "Mr. I'resl
dent , I object , " cald Mr. Davis , "to the read
Ing ot any communication coming from th
representative of a foreign country on an
matter not transmitted to congress throug
the usual channels and reflecting upon mem
born of this body. "
Immediately there wai a stir on th
floor ot the galleries. Mr. Halo protestc
against such an objection , There wa
nothing personally offensive to senators I
the Spanish mlnlatcr'a statement. H wa
net an attack ou the tunato , but wa
couchcil wllji , anicely , ot deference to sen
ators , .
.t | ( l
Mr. Mitchell of Oregon asked It It wan
nn Invariable rule that foreign ministers
accredited ( o tHIs country should not pub
licly illsctis.ii ; pojlllc.il questions relating to
the affairs , of , tpc United States.
There wcfs joints of order from various
unrtcrs nntt'trinny senators wore on tholr
cct oeekmtt teflralso objections. The vlco
resident announced the rule , that In case
t objection "ted reading n communication ,
ho senate musll decide by n vote as to re-
elvlng it. - , -
Mr. Teller sard the objection to the min
ster's statement was not based on Its of-
onslvcncss' to1 ( he senate , but on the cs-
abllihod rule- that any such communlca-
Inn must Uo presented through the Stnto
epartmcnt. " .
HALB STOOD HIS GROUND.
Mr. Morgan mads a point of order against
iroceodlng with Iho minister's statement.
\\r. \ Hale had stood calmly during the storm
f protests. Ho said It was a most remark-
bio fact that senators would not hoar this
tatemcnt ot facts.
Mr. Kryo suggested that Jlr. Davis with-
MW his point of order and allow the
apor to bo read , and that In reply the
nmmunlc.iUcm In the Washington Post of
prominent Cuban ( the oecretary of the
Cuban legation In Washington ) bo read.
This suggestion to also give the Cuban
Ido n hearing was received with a dem
onstration by the galleries so pronounced
that Vlco President Stevenson warned the
spectators.
At 2 o'clock the unfinished business , the
Dupont election case , was temporarily laid
aside ,
Mr. Sherman , chairman ot the foreign re-
atlona committee , gave notice that ho
vculd Insist on action. When the Spanish
ululstcr's communication had been read ,
ir. Morgan asked that the reply of the
Julian legation bo road , but Mr. Halo dc-
illncd , saying It could bo read In the tlmo
it some other senator. Continuing , Mr.
lalo sent forward and had read a communl-
, atlon to the New York World from Dr.
William Shaw Bowen , n communication
lot "concocted In the organs of the Insur-
ocllon , but written , by n man compelled to
ell the truth , " In n newspaper whose sym
pathies were with the Insurgents , but was
iroad enough to print both sides. The ex-
.ract referred to General Weyler as a
'greatly traduced man , " who had been
'systematically attacked" by the enemies of
ho Spanish cause. This communication ,
'extracted from an unwilling witness , " Jlr.
lalo said , ho would place against anything
vrltten by Cubans In this city. Ho also read
rom current news dispatches of the burn-
ng of thirteen towns nnd ot the destruc-
.lon of tobacco and cane , nnd of the Inhabit
ants wandering desperate nnd hungry.
"Theso are the methods used to defeat
Spain. Here , " ho continued , "are the details
n the newspapers which sympathize with
.ho Insurgents.
NOT WAR , BUT INCENDIARISM.
"Liberty. " ho added , "does not fight Its
battles In thot way. Freedom often springs
from prison bars , from burning lips , aye ,
from Us own ashes , but not from horror
nnd conflagrations and devils' work. The
heart stirred by the story ot Bunker Hill
turns with loathing from such talcs as these.
It Is not war , but Incendiarism , destruction
by the torch , murder and outrage. It Is
the wildest stroke of savagery. I will never
vote to glvo aid and comfort to leaders
whcso exploits are thus chronicled.
"Thero Isj.unother side , " Mr. Halo was
proceeding to" say , when Senator Sherman
interrupted " 'him' and asked how long we
were to all6w 'this state of affairs to con
tinue. 'U - 1
"That , " jT.fplled . Mr. Hale , "Is the same
question which owas put to the diplomats
during thowar , oC the rebellion. Whenever
our arms sustained a reverse they were
asked whether that did not disclose a state
of war. TUa'i.iyas the great burden which
rested most.- , heavily on these then at the
head of our affairs. That question gave a
stoop to tuo 'tall shoulders of Lincoln , It
weighed nttst anxiously upon the able
Seward ana b/oko down the Hon-heartee
Stanton. Tjhe djlswor to It Is to bo found
In the Instructions of Secretary Soward. "
"But , " Interposed Mr. Sherman , "Spain ,

"I am not' Speaking of belligerency , " re
plied Mr.Hale , "but of Independence.
Seward's answer was that the United States
\vaa engaged In ono of the most Herculean
tasks In the history .of ho. world. Charles
F. Adams at the court of St. James and our
minister to France were Instructed to say
that the United States would suppress the
rebellion , but In a way to bo selected by
us , and that no foreign power would be al
lowed to Interfere. "
T > lr. Hale said he deplored the aggressive
spirit of the last year ; the desire to Incite
trouble , the building of Instruments of war
Instead ot these of peace ; the turning aside
from the plow and the taking up ot the
sword , This was militarism. There was but
ono result when militarism took possession
of a great people. The arts of peace , disap
peared , and In their place como vast arma
ments and the dominion of 1131110 great mil
itary chieftain. This was the growing spirit
of the day In this country. Out of It all
however , Mr. Hale said he felt assured tha
the good sense of the American people wouU
assert Itself , bringing peace rather than war
Mr. Hale closed at 3 o'clock.
Mr. Mills urged Mr. Sherman to not en
deavor to secure a vote today , as severa

WASHINGTON , March 9. The blue book
on the subject of the Venezuelan boundary ,
published by the British government , has
reached Washington nnd advance copies are
now In possession of the British ambassador
and the State department. There nro In
reality two volumes , one o about 450 paces
of text and another containing about a
dozen charts. The substances of the former
hao been well s t out In the abstract of the
volumes sent by cable by the Associated
press from London. As to the charts , they
are exceedingly Interesting to the carto-
graphlst by reason of the fidelity with which
the quaint drawings t > f the old geographers
and explorers are reproduced In colors , but
as far as new matter Is concerned they are a
distinct disappointment , and our Venezuelan
commission Is In possession of all the data
contained ! In the charts , thanks to their
systematic efforts to collect all of the In
formation obtainable by their own exertions.
A significant feature ot the charts thus
furnished from British sources Is that one
and all appear to define the limits ol Dutcli
settlements almost entirely to the east ol
the Pomaron river , and to show that up to
the clcse cf the last century the only settle
ment In the neighborhood of that river was
one on the cast bank , and established by the
Spanish capuchins.

NORTH LOUP , Neb. , March 0. ( Special. )
The secretary of the North Loup Irrigation
ml Improvement company reports that hems
ms had an extraordinary number of nppll-
atlons for water In the past tow days
ml has been kept bimlly occupied In fili
ng out contracts with the farmers , and from
iresent appearances an acreage * will bo
vatcrcd this season far In access of that
vatercd last year. This Is not owing to
ny fear that the season will not bo as
avorablo as the normal , but Is pimply the
utcomo of experience had hero last year ,
vlicn It was patent to the most careless
bscrvcr that tha soil when well tilled and
roperly Irrigated will produce crops that
ro hardly equalled under- rainfall , even In
ho most favorable seasons , and as tha
vater costs but $1.25 per aero , many think
hot this sum can bo Invested for the pur-
) ese ot Insuring the crops alone , oven though
ho water should not bo needed during the
ntlro season. The high appreciation In
vhlch Irrigation Is now held by those who
rled It last year Is shown by the fact that
omo fanners who have largo holdings nud
ent considerable land will not enter Into
i contract with a renter or tenant unless
10 agrees to contract for water. The com-
> any now has a force of men at work putting
he canal in condition to run water , which ,
r the weather permits , will probably bo at
n early date.

The advantage of
a policeman over a
burglar is that the of
ficer has the law on
his side. Health boa
the same advantage
over disease. Tha
Law of Nature is for
people to be healthy.
When they arc sick ,
Nalure helps to cure
them. Nature'n law
'is ' the guide for cur
ing sick people.
There is no way but
Nature's way. What
the doctors call many
different diseases
Nature cures in one
way ; by nourishing
the whole body with
good , pure , rich , red
blood. That is Nature's way of curing
scrofula , erysipelas , kidney and "liver com
plaint , " consumption and every form of
eiuplivc and wasting disease. When you
want to help Nature with medicine the med.
icine must work the same way a * Nature
works , then it has the laws of Nature on its
side to make it powerful. That is the
secret of Dr. I'icrcc's Golden Medical Dis
covery's wonderful cures. It assists Nature
according to her own laws ; it is on Nature's
side mid Nature helps it ; U imparts new
power to the nutritive and blood making'or
gans to create a large quanlily of fresh , red.
healthy blood which drives every germ of
disease out of the system and builds up
strong healthy tissues and solid flesh. The
" Discovery " completely clears away every
form of blood disease from the system ; It
even cures consumption. It is the only true
radical cuie for that disease ; facts and testi
mony to prove it.
" I would like to tell the whole world what your
'Rolilen Medical Discovery1 has done for me.
The doctor , who Is considered nil expert on lime
troubles , told me I had consumption. He said
both my IUIIK * were diseased anil I could not live
IOIIK. I felt clown-hearted for I Imvc dear little
children to lUc for. I just went to lilin to get hla
opinion I nm glad I did for now I know what
your medicine will do. When I started on Hie
second bottle I was better In everyway nnd was
able to lake n wnlk on every fine ilny. I enjoyed
my iilccp , inyappetlle was peed , and by the time
I had finished the second bottle I began to feel
like a new woman. I still had n cough , co t got
n third tmttlc and by llic time U was half gone I
was completely cured. "
