WASHINGTON' , Jan. 30. Tlio senate pro
ceedings for the week will open with a
speech by Senator Pettlgrcw , dealing with
thu Hawaiian question , which will bo de > -
- . . llvered Monday , lleyond this speech It Is
* * very dlllleull to forecast the outlcok for thu
week. The diversion occasioned by taking
" up the Teller Loud resolution has left the
* * Ketmlo In a somewhat disorganized and un
settled condition and with no prearranged
program.
Senator Pcttlgrow's speech will bo made
during the mottling hour and the proba-
bnltle are now that at Its conclusion , or at
_
lcaiit aT"2 "o'clock , one of the general op-
pl-iprlatlon bills will bo called up. The
army and the legislative appioprlatlon bills
uro alteuily on thu calundar , and the con
sideration of the agricultural bill has been
completed by the committee , ho that It will
bo reported on Monday. The probabilities
uro that the army bill will bo the llrst of
* * thcso measures to receive consideration ,
though there Is some disposition to displace
it with thu legislative bill.
Senator Allison , chairman of the commlt-
'teo ' on appropriations , said today that It was
hi' ! intention to have the uppioprlatlon bills
considered before other measures , and if hu
ndherca to this determinated the week maybe
bo largely taken up with them.
So fnr as can now bo seen thcro are few
features In thu 'bills ' already reported cal
culated to arouse discussion. There is a feelIng -
Ing In certain quarters that the army bill
should be amen led by u provision for the In
crease of thu army , and If such a change
should ho attempted it would give rise to a
very spirited debate ,
CIVIL SKUVICB AGAIN.
The census bill , alse > , will be pressed for
consideration during the week , and Senator
Caiter , chairman ot the census committee ,
said today that ho wns very hopeful of se
curing Its passage In the near future.
Tlio debate upon the civil service bill will
bo resumed when this bill Is taken up , and
the bill will bo so amcivJed as to give the
control of tlio census bureau to the secre
tary of the Interior.
The blmetalllst republican senators are
still discussing the advisability of renew
ing the financial agitation In the senate by
the Introduction of some measure of their
own , though they do not seem quite so In
tent upon this course as they appeared to be
Immediately succeeding the vote upon the
Teller resolution. If they pre-seiit a reso
lution It probably will bo a declaration to the
effect that the United States Is not com
mitted to the gold standard.
The rcholutlon re-porteil from the senate
committee on privileges and elections de
claring Mr. Corbett to not bo entitled to a
neat In the senate from Oregon Is also on
the senate calendar and there Is a dlspcsl-
tleui In some quarters to dinpose of this as
rjcedlly as possible. Ita \ a question ol
the highest privilege and can bo taken up
at any time , displacing any other uubject
before the senate.
In view of all the possibilities for de-
hate and delay Involved In thrae various
measures , It seems quite Improbable that
tint Hawaiian treaty will receive much at
tention , at least lai executive session , during
the week. Still Senator DavU , chairman of
the committee en foreign relations , announces -
nounce-s It to be hlfi purpc.io to move an e.xcc-
$ ntlve session for the cor.fllderation of the
' treaty on Mond-iy ; but It Is possible that ho
may bo Influenced by prewniro from senators
who have other measures requiring inimo-
ellato attention to p03tpcno this motion for
a low days. He > docs not , however , admit
eucli a probability.
STUKNOTH IN DKLAY.
There la a growing Impression that the
friends of the- treaty feel that their safest
courseIs In delay and that this Is the ex
planation of the tactics so far observed with
reference to It. There Is excellent founda
tion for this surmise. They have made a
very thorough can vacs of the oocato aad
have not been able to discover where they
e-Aii get moro than fifty-eight votco , whereas
to ratify the treaty they will have to have
sixty. They feel that nome of those fifty-
eight are not on'lrely reliable. In view of
thew circumstances they realize that nothing
Is to bo lost by an Informal postponement ,
e-speelally when It comes naturally through
thu preeRiire of other biulness and nome of
them believe- that everything Is to bo gained
by tint course.
Senmlor IVtilgrew's determination to dis
cuss thu Hawaiian question In open Hcs-Oem
will have a tendency to take the direction
of the unification resolution out of the hanila
e > f the foreign relations commltten and II
may prove ) to bo the opening wedge ) to a dls-
eiisilon of the whole subject In open .session
nf the ) .senate. Ills resolution dcclnrea it to
bo contrary to the traditions ot this country
lo acquire ) any territory HO situated as to
require- navy to protect It. This Is a basis
broad enough for the dlacusJlon ot the whole
BUbji-ct and It It ; understood to bo Mr. Pel-
tlgrow'fi Intention to enter very fully Into
the ( ( motion of Iho affairs In Hawaii. Ho
will deal with Mr. Dolo'j visit , and will un
dertake to show that that gentleman was
never elected president , that the present
constitution of the government of Hawaii
was never submitted to the pooplt ) of that
country , and. In fact , that the whole govern
ment U Irregular. It Is postilblo that objec
tion may bo made to discussing such sub
jects In open ecsidon In view ot the pcndaney
of Iho treaty , and Mr. Pottlgroxv not bo al
lowed to proceed except behind closed doors.
UOl'SH KOUKCAST.
It Is the Intention of the IIOIIBO leadens to
offset , so far as possible- , the action of tlu >
Bcnato In parsing the Teller revolution by
Killing that declaration of the sor.ao of con-
ire s regarding the payment of Iho go\crn >
incut's bonds In silver on an aye and nay
vote In the house this week. This will bo
the feature of thu proceedings. Whllo tb
republlean strength In the huuso cannot be
rommandcd ngatr.iU the resolution , no doubt
is oxprewcd by thcso who have made ) II
tholr buslr.vis to canviw the situation that
jti Uio majority ngilnst It will be decisive.
As soon as the resolution li reported back
from the ways ami meaiia committee , which
tuny bo tomorrow , the rules committee will
bring In n special order for Us. consideration
The tlmct allowed for debate ) U likely to lie
brief , as the leader * do not 'believe thcro Is
any necessity for protracted debate and
moreover a long dtaciualou would measura
bly decrease the very purpose they have In
view namely , n prompt and dec slvo uega-
\ tlvo reply to the cennto'e declaration ,
The remainder of the week will bo elcvoteJ

triumphed at Pekin.lvnglaiid having resolved

that China consents to have Russians at the
head of her customs and railways.

Mail's correspondent , 'there ' are 10,000 Hus-
Blan troops In Tallen Wan and Port Ar

NRW YORK , Jan. 30. The ( Tribune tomorrow -

The consolidation of the Lake Shore rail
road with the Now York Central , under the
name of the latter , Is Bimply the Initial stei'
In a railroad plan that in scope and cxtenl
eclipses anything hitherto undertaken In the
history of railroading. The truth Is , how
ever , that fie present ( scheme , the llrst ster
in which has been taken by the practically
admitted amalgamation of the Lake Short
and the New York Central Is to consolidate
into one company the whole Vanderbilt oya-
torn and such lines as It may be able to con
trol and lease , und place the whole enor
mous organization under one management
, The next stop In this gigantic plan of con-
'eolTelatlon will be the merging of the Cleve
land , Chicago & St. Louis -railroad , generally
known ns the Uig Four , -with the Chesapeake
& Ohio , under the name of the former. Mel
ville E. Ingalla is now president of botli
roads. The Dig Four Ijj a. Vanilerbllt prop
erty. Probably the same plan of consollda.
tlon will be followed ouuin this road as In
the Lake Shore.
Tht next sup will lie to bring the roa'lt
Into the new combination cf the Lake Shore
and the NV.v Ywk Central. The next road
to . 'all into line will Tje'tho Chicago & North
western. ThTra , like the Lake Shore and the
IMS Four , Is an In and out Vnmlcr'bllt ' prop
erty , in the meantime there Is talk of a
consolidation cf the West Shrco and Nickel
Plato and ths Michigan Central. This i > ? still
embryonic. Cornelius Vanderbi'.t is chair

the populists aiy they expect to have only
ono place on their state ticket to fill next
fall , they are already Allowing signs ot tin-
easiness as to their choice for that place ,
The olllcl.il populist organ , which Is pub
lished hero under the direction nnd with the
aid of the state house officials , recently In
vited contributions covering the points , first ,
whether the gubernatorial nomination should
go to a populist or a democrat ; second , what
his qualifications uliould be , and third , which
man In the party commends hlmseW by
reason of those qualifications to bei the party
nominee. In Its Inet Issue It prints the first
batch of replica received , each sug
gesting the name of a different candidate.
The five candidates mentioned are : 1. Hon.
U. Clem Dcovor of Omaha ; 2. lion , J. II. Ed-
mbtcn of Lexington ; 3. Hon. Sllns A. Hoi-
comb of llroken How ; 4. Judge William Ne
ville of North I'lattc ; 5. Hon. C. J. Smyth
of Omaha.
lly no means strangely , nil the populists
who write assume nt the outset that the
nomination for governor Is to go to a popu
list and that Ihero Is no call for even dis
cussing the claims of the democrats to the
ofilcc. Each one , therefore , simply describes
the strong points which ho thinks ho FCC *
In his favorite and puts his man In nomina
tion with , a e-ulogy that rr.ads like a tiom.-
inatlng speech delivered In convention.
CLEM DEAVEH'S STRENGTH.
The nomination of D. Clem Dcavcr Is
undertaken by his fellow townsman , Silas
Robbing. Ho tells how faithfully and ably
Mr. Denver served his party from Its fontula-
tlcn , ns chairman of the state committee ,
as member of the Omaha police board nml
us steward of the Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb. Ho relates the sacrifices of his cam
paign for congress In 1SUI , when , although
p. silver man , he was turned down by Urynn
In favor of his goldbug democratic competi
tor. Ho Insists that Denver would make the
Ideal candidate for governor In the coining
campaign.
Not to be outdone In the goo.l work , a
Webster county man lushes to the front with
the name of J. II. Edmlsten and wants to
know w'io Is not for him. He pictures nil
the unselfish devotion to party displayed by
Mr. Edmleton , for which ho deserves re
ward and only Incidentally mentions the
fact that E.lmlsten has been cashing that
reward for yeans In the shape of second as
sistant bill clerk In the legislature of 1S9.1 ,
HS Jwo-Urin oil Inspector by appointment of
Governor Holcomb and as head of the state
house machine. It Is olmply manifest dcs-
thiy , according to the writer , that Edmlsten
should carry on the good' work of patronage
dispensing commenced by Governor Hol-
conib.
The third term boom .for Silas A. Hoi-
comb Is started under date of ncjnkelmcu ,
by an enthusiast who Insists that all otlnT
individual ambitions must not aad cannot
bo permitted to menace or threaten the auc-
cexa which with Holcomb .13 standard bearer
would be assured. The present chief exe
cutive , he says , ia a man who shares to a
greater extent , the admiration , confidence
and esteem of all the reform- parties than
any now or untried man could reasonably
expect to enjoy "and should have confided
to his care ami keeping foe two years more
the ( lest'my of this grand youag common
wealth. "
The nomination of the fourth candidate
Is brief anil to the point : "Judge William
Neville of North Platte should bo the can-
dldato for governor , a populist who stands
squarely on the Omaha platform and pos
sesses the necessary qualifications for gov
ernor of the great state of Nebraska. " Judge
Neville's admirer lives in Humboldt.
Just who Is standing sponsor ( Tor C. J.
Smyth Is not disclosed. Either the eulogistic
letter written In his behalf was crowded out
for want of space or the populist organ has
Inserted hl.s name In the favorably mentioned
column on lt own account. It Is safe to
say that If the letter was 'written' ' Its author
Is a democrat , because the populists are de
termined at all hazards not to let the pie
distributing fall Into the. hands of their dem
ocratic allies.
WHY IT IS FUNNY.
The humorous feature of these early
gubernatorial booms Is the fact that In the
same l.ssuo of the paper in which they nro
launched Is an nrtlclo Intended to stick plijs
Into every ono of them. This article , while
contributed , touches the vital spot as fol
lows :
In regard to state nomination ! * there la
ono rule that had better lie observed and
that Is not to let the priwnt olllre ho'd-
e-rs cither e'U'Ctcd or appointed , dictate nom
inations If the nrcMPiu ine-umbentH iierilro
a. second term all right , but further than
that they have no rights In the cacc- Nei
ther have they any right to dlctato to UK-
law-making Jiowor what should be done for
their ofllco or1 their oivpolntees. It IH n < H'-
urnoa to eo Htatr > ofllcr-rn lobbying1 on the
floor of our legislature In their own pcr-
Konal Intori-HtH. Wo are not a e'lvll Horvlro

yr-ars In any ono decade Is enough for onis
mnn until all of us have u turn , I IK-VCT

no such extreme rnnou now on hand. I
after duo consideration It should lie thought

In order to carry the vitalo , no wane mnn

pliiro should not beclvon to any subordl-
nato ofllopliolili > r or appointee. It will bo
found to bo a healthy oxorol o lo shift n
pirt of the appointees every two yenrH. Our
corn Ik-Ids are full of good timber for gov-

tlion lot him ( --.elect lil own appointees fronh

As every one ? of the men whoso names

GRAND ISLAND. Neb. . Jan. 30. ( Special. )
There Is no longer a question that there Is
n considerable friction between the farmers
who have been raising 'beets ' and the Oxnard -
nard llcot Sugar company. It wad mani
fested In the meeting of beet raisers yes
terday when Mr. Rotoym , the president of
the growers' association , read an mldreus
which bore evidences of very .bitter . feeling.
It was manifested by the shoilUj of approval
and handclapplng every time some beet
raiser arose nnd denounced the Oxnards for
"i-.irnlng too much" from the- toll e > f the
beet misers and It was manifested In the
"guylngt,1 and the deliberate challenging of
an olllcer of the company who wna In the
hall as a spectator. It was particularly
emphasized In the unanimity with
which the beet raleers arose on tint
qucutlon as to whether they should Insist on
the straight price of $1 per ton , without the
clause provldliij ? for n reduction ot 50 cents
per ton In case the Hawaiian Inlands are
annexed , or not ral. o beets. And when ,
finally , a telcgium was read from Mr. Oxnard -
nard stating that no bolter offer could be
made In the- event the Hawaiian Islands were
nnnrxcd and that It the iboets could not < be
secured but one factory would Ibc run In
Nebraska this year the message was simply-
treated aa a ibluff.
If ono takes the trouble to Inventigata nnd
apply a llttlo arithmetic to the ronti.t i
last year , us compared with the contract of
this year nnd the results to the boot raisers ,
thcro iis only one proper conclusion that can
bo reached : Ilarrlng the Hawaiian clause , the
contract submitted this year will give the
farmers moiei money for bectn than did the
contract of ! Ki7. ! I'tulcr the contract ot 1S9S
boet.1 of 12 per cent sugar and 78 purity
will Ibrlng the farmers ? 4. Last year they
brought $3.BO ; 12 and 77 beets lust yo.ir
brought ? 3.2.r > , this year they would brins
$3.85 ; 12 and 7i > 'beets ' brought $3.25 , this
yo.ir they would bring $3.70. and thus all
down the line until the 10 and 7-1 beets are
reached , when the prlco paid last year Is
10 cento higher per ton than It would be
under the- present contract. Throughout , the
prlco of lower-grade beets , together with the
12 and 78 beotp , will .bring . an average cf
31 cents more this year than last. The morn
oxperlonecd nnd Intelligent growers realize
this and admit that , .barring the obnoxious
Hawaiian claiiBP , thin year's contract , ns
finally conceded by the company , Is con-
rjldcrcibly bettor than was last year's.
"If the company will just withdraw the
Hawaiian clnune , " said i prominent beet
raiser ycstorday , after the meeting , "It will
get all ( ho bscts It wants. " These arc the
Words of a man who not only lalsed a larr ? "
acreage for the last few ye.irc .hut who was
present In yesterday's meeting and took a
prominent part In the proceedings.
It Is hoppil hero that Mr. Oxnar.1 will re
call the clause relating to the reduction of
50 cents per ton In the event that the Islands
are annexed , ns It Fceirn to ibo extremely
doubtful If the Grand Island or the Norfolk
factorlo ? will 'brIn ' operation next year un
less hu dooi > withdraw It. The contracts for
the Norfolk factory are exactly the same ,
but It Is not known hero whether or not
there Is the opposition there that there Is
hero.

The escapade of ex-Cashier Maher of the

several hundred dollars of the company's
money and the alleged unsuccessful effort
of the representative of the company which
furnished Manor's bond to have the proprie
tor of the gambling house In question prose
cuted by the county attorney , have resulted
In considerable discussion over the gambling
question. Whllo It Is the general belief that
had the proprietor of the gambling house
paid back on demand the money the young
man lest , no effort would hnvo been made
to prosecute , the matter has aroused public
sentiment against gambling and It Is not at
all unlikely that further efforts will bo made

were several signers of the Princeton Inn ,

resignation from the- presidency was caused
by criticism growing out of his signing the
petition , and I'rof. Charles G'ri-en ' Hockwood.
Dr. 1'atton said : "At their meeting In Oc
tober the attention of our trustees \\is : turned
to thu recent agitation whL-h has so
seriously Involved the good name of I'rlncc-
ton university. A committee was appointed ,
to consider the \ \ hole.- subject and report at
a subsequent meeting of the trusties. That
report was presented and adopted at the >
meeting held December 2.1. It was re-solved'
'
that n strict lltural and Impartial enforce-
nient of the existing law respecting Intoxi
cating drinks be enjoined upon tlic faculty ,
anil that the president of the university .bo .
asked to make- statement to the students
on thu whole question.
"I bear testimony to the high moral tone
eif the stUclcntH of this university. 1 know
that they hnvo been misrepresented and
misunderstood. Their hilarity , their bolste-r-
out outbursts of exuberance , tlu-ir Koiigs ,
which often hnvo a more bacehnnnllnn sound
than I would wish , and In sonu- Instances
their Inexcusable ) nets of wrongdoing have
produced Impressions which the 'facto will
not Justify ; and the-y have on iiiiiuy occa-
fllons been charged with drunkenness for no
other reason than that under thu Influence !
of the gregarious lEGilnct which sometimes
assumes an almost Irrational mode of ex
pression animal spirits have been allowed
too much freedom , and npcech and action
have not been kept within those metes and'
bounds which mature mun In thu busy wulh $
of llfo are apt to assoclalo with sobriety.
MODKKATU DIHNICING. '
"Hut , thcro was never less ru.ison for adverse -
verso criticism than during the ] icr < od in
which It has bcn BO unsparingly bestowed )
upon us. I have taken pains to IIml out the
truth and I am still unshaken In my convic
tion that the tendency In 1'rlncelon is stead
ily in the direction of nn uiidlminUhcd lisa
of alcoholic drinks. Still , I must not bo
blind to the fact , and after making all allow
ance iTor willful misrepresentation or mlii-
take I am constrained to believe- that llioro
is far moro of what Is called moderate
drinking among us than thu wisest and best
frlenda of Princeton could wish , and there
are these among you who are putting their
fuluro in peril by the exclusive use of In
toxicating drink.
"There is nothing unnatural In the dcslro
ot the trustees for a vigilant enforcement
of what has for many years been the law
of the university In regard to alcoholic li
quors. Whllo I am In full sympathy with
your feeling that the university man la not
to bo treated O.R though ho were In a pre
paratory school , I am ready to take my full
share of rv.sponollilllty for the report which ,
as chairman of the committee dealing with
the- question , I made to thu Heard of Trus
tees.
"Thcro nro two classes of men whom t
have particularly in mind : These who Imvo
already fallen Into Intemperate habits and
thosu who are In danger of forming these
habits. Drunkenness Is practically an un
pardonable sin In our academic life. It must
bo understood that a man caiineit bo guilty ;
of repeated nets of Intoxication and continue )
In this university If his offense la known to
tlui authorities.
"I wish moro particularly , however , to
say a kind word to these who are understood
to bo moderate drlnkera. If any duty Is In
tuitively given us In consciousness It Is tem
perance ) . I mean the duty of se-lf-control.
Let mo caution you , then , agnlnst the habltu
which put Holt-control in peril. "
