LONDON, Jan. 2:l.-Klng Kdward and the
duko of Cambridge arrived In London nt .1
o'clock this afternoon. A largo crowd
welcomed tho king nt Victoria station. Ills
majesty will flnully approve of tho funeral
arrangements during tho course of tho
afternoon.
There Is a great deal of surmise ns lo what
disposition will be mnde of tho king's lato
residence. Iloth the king and Queen Alex
andria are devoted to Sandringhnm, so his
majesty will probably retain the place, but
It Is thought Marlborough house will bo
given up. In the event of the duke and
duchess of York not dealrlng to reside theru
It Is rot sldered likely that Wllllnm K.
Vnnderbllt will purchase the place for the
duke and duchess of Marlborough, which
tho ductless has long desired.
This morning (hero was a rehearsnl along
the route of the funeral procession. The
eight Hanoverian horticb which will draw
the gun carriage took a heavily laden
brake, estimated to bo of the weight of the
gun carriage and collln, over tho route.
Numerous carriages followed nnd a number
of mounted men, representing tho foreign
princes and others who will ride In tho pro
cesssion. It has been arranged that the Eton boys
will lino tho route from the long walk gates
to Wlndfor castle, whllo tho military
knights of Windsor will bo on duty In tho
chapel during tho funeral services.
It Is now understood the funeral In Lon
don will bo approximately as follows:
A sovereign's escort of 100 Life guards,
tho massed bands of three regiments of
foot guards. Field Marshal Karl Uobcrts
and the headquarters ntaff, an army gun
carriage) with tho body, tho king, sup
ported by tho Gorman emperor; tho king
of Portugal and the other reigning sov
ereigns in the order of precedence; tho
dukes of Conunught nud York, the equerries
anil aides-de-camp In attendanco on royal
perbonages, Queen Alexandria, the durhoss
of Saxe-Coburg and Holha and other roynl
prlncerses, in four carriages, deeply draped
and. In tho rear of the procession, a sov
ereign's escort of 100 Life guards. It Is e
tlmated that sixty royal princes will par
ticipate. As the funeral will be of n military char
acter there probably will be no pall bearers,
although, possibly, at Windsor certain gen
erals will act In l his capacity whllo the
coftln t being carried up tho navo of St.
Oeorges chapel.
For tho first time slnco his accession
tho king's train today was preceded by a
pilot engine. His majesty was vociferously
cheered on his way to Marlborough house.
The privy council has ordered tho arch
blhhop of Canterbury to prepare a special
form of service In commemoration of the
queen to be used In all churches In tho

WASHINOTON, Jot). 29. Tho report of
Representative Overstreet of Indiana upon
the bill which he was authorized by thu
banking committee tto report to tho house
"to maintain the parity of the money of tho
United 8 tut 08," was presented to the house
toda. The report declares that t'lo bill
"roahirms tho declaration of the United
States government to maintain tho parity
of all forms of money with the gold
standard of alue and makes provision
whereby Iho parity of tho silver dollar
may bo maintained by exebango (or gold
at the treasury upon the demand of tho
holder."
Mr. Overstreet then continued: "Tho
only reasonable and scientific method for
making nbsoluto provision for the parity Is
by providing that the silver dollar shall bo
exchanged for Rold nt tho treasury upon de
mand of the. holder. In this way the de
clared purpose of the government to mnln
lain such parity will be made operative by
direct and simple method, which will at all
times demonstrate the existence nf the
parity. The purpose of the government, ns
declared by congress, should lie coupled
Willi a provision of law authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to carry Into
effect such purpose by some reasonable,
overt act, which shall show tho ability
and readiness of the government at all
times to put such purposes Into practice.
Tho llrst section of the hill grants this
authority to tho secretary of tho treasury,
who Is thereby directed at the demand or
the holder to exchange gold coin for sil
ver dollars when presented to the treasury
of tho United States In sums not less than
K0."
CxIstlliK ConiCtliiiis Would Continue.
It la declared that making silver dollars
exchangeable for gold coin at the treasury
would not change existing conditions In any
material respect except in Iho Increased
degree nf confidence Inspired among the pub
lic In the character of silver money.
The report nolnts out that the wide dis
tribution of the Hllver rertlllcates and their
small denominations made 11 practically
Impossible to gather them together for pre
sentation In largo amounts to the treasury.
It shows that tho sliver certificates of de
nominations of $10 or less have risen since
the summer of 1S93 from about $210,000,000
to $3.18.00(1.000, while higher denominations
have fallen by about $22,000,000 and amount
to $B9.0CO,000. it says that a heavy demand
fell upon the treasury during the panic
years for hoarding, which would be avoided
If all the money of the United States wero
equally guod.
The report refers to the prckent strong
position of tho United Slates by reason of
tho balance of trade, amounting upon tho
face of the meiehandlso movement to more
than $2,000,000,000 during tho last four yours.
lliiiiiiiKi'Mi'oiiM MoiK') llextrcd.
The report says in conclusion: "lindei
existlug conditions and law the treasury
sustains a burden upon the gold reserve
cqi.al to tho total amount of outstanding
United Stntcii notes, treasury notes of 1S90,
banknotes and sliver currency nf tho coun
try. "What Is proposed by tho pending hill
Is to give such a homogeneous churaoter
to all the money nf the United States that
all of It will be regarded as good as gold
nnd that nouo of It will be discriminated
against from distrust of Its permanent
parity with gold. If this result is accom
plished tho demand for gold upon the treas
ury under tho most serious conditions of
coit.merclol panic would bo limited to tho
demand for export, or, In other words, to
tho excess of tho whole xcilume of the cur
rency above tho needs of a period of busi
ness depression. Hoarding would not
occur and a commercial panic, resulting
perl aps from overproduction of Inflated
credit, would not extend tnto that most
dangerous of nil forms of panic which
aiites from distrust of the stability of tho
standard and of the value of the currency
which forms the tool of exchanges, the
means of settling contracts, nnd the meas
ure of values."

A number of Omaha business men wero

tho following questions:
"Do ou not think It odvlsablo to end the

"Do not the Interests of Nebraska demand

longed. The best Irterests of Nebraska
demand that Kdward Itosowatcr bo elected
to tho United States senate, and that with

statement that tho contest should bo ended

bo one of tho senators.
A. Hospe The people of this stato nro
looking to tho republicans to wine, up tho
senatorial contest. They enn put nn end
to a great deal of criticism from repub
licans and much ridicule from democrats by
getting together on tho senatorial election
at once. As to tho candidates, I think Mr.
Hosewater Is tho jny man for tho long
term. Ho has done more for the material
progress of tho stnto than nil of the other
senatorial candidates put together. If sent
to tho senute no would not only bo tho
recipient of an honor richly deserved, but
ho would bo In a position to continue, with
better mlvuntagcs, the good work for Ne
braska that he has beon doing for tho lost
thirty years. You cau't quoto mo too
strongly In favor of Mr. Hosewatcr. I
think tho business element of Omaha Is
almost uuDiilmously lu favor of his elec
tion. Thero aro a few soreheads, of
course, but this Is no time to heed tho
cries of men with personal grievances.
WJiat we want Is a worker in tho United
States senate, and wo ought to bo glad to
havo such a capable, earnest, Intelligent
man ns Mr Itosowatcr to send thero. I
think hie neceptanco of the place would bo

K. K. Ancirews Tho senatorial contest
at Lincoln should bo broken; thero's no
grounds for diversity of opinion on that.
It has already interfered very materially
with legislation nnd other matters that
affect tho vital Interests of tho stato and
tho longer It Is continued tho longer will
tho attention of tho lawmakers bo diverted
from thclt duties to their constituents. If
I'nltod States senators wore elected by a
popular voto of tho people we would havo
better returns for tho money wo expend for

that destroy the faith of the business In

LINCOLN. Jan. 29.- (Special Telegram)
- -Today's bnllot on t'tilted States senators
In Joint session showed nearly the entire
voting strength of both houses, only threo
absentees being recorded, two of whom
were republican. Tho notable feature Is
the steady growth of Mr. Hosewnter's col
umn, which went up to eighteen, with one
of his supporters, Senator llaldtige, nmong
the absentees. Meudeohall, who hns been
ntlng most of the time for Ilosownter,
went lo Crounso lor tho clay. A few other
changes wero recorded, but none of Im
portance, except to drop the Melklejohn
following. Smlthtiergor transferred his
voto from Hlnshaw lo Lindsay and Scni
tor Areiuls had himself registered for Van
Huscu. The history of this 1 Ut lo bouquet
will pel haps bear repeating. Tho son of
Senator Arends has been studying law In
Von Dusen's olllce In Omaha nud tins per
suaded his father to compliment his pre
ccptor in recognition of tho courtesy.
Arends arranged to exebango his voto with
Currle, by which tho latter was to voto
for Von Ilusen, whllo Aronds voted for
Currle. Tho change of Senntor Currl to
Klnkuld left Senator Arends no nlternn
tlvo but to give his own voto to Van
Ilusen if his son's admission Into tho law
olllco Is lo ho properly acknowledged.
Slllt A pnrl on ( ililelln.
The standing announcement of "Hepub
llcnn caucus tonight" Is posted In the form
of a printed placard In Iho hotel lobby and
a few of tho Thompson followers meet reg
ularly to make suro no possible newcomers
ma bo turned away. They say they have
more than fifty signatures to their 67-tS
caucus call, but seldom havo moro than
thirty to thirty-five at their meetings. Tho
call, by lis own terms, Is not to become
effectlvo until Blxty-Bcven agree to It, and.
as that Is out of the cptestlon for tho pres
ent, tho meetings aro simply In tho na
ture of Informal conferences. Tho cnucut
call conditioned on slniullaneoiis nomlnn
liens haB been signed by some twenty mom
hers, Including tho Douglas county men.
so that practically thu entlro legislator"
Is committed to the caucus plan ns tb"
only practical Kilutlon of the deadlock, nnd
one side Is no more to blame for obstructing
n caucus thnn the other. That tho slnglo
nomination men are getting shaky was
evidenced by the suggestion by a Lancaster
member today of a new modification In
name the Soutli Platte senator first by Iho
07-IS scheme and then to nnme tho North
Platte senator, with only thirty-four votes
to nominate. K'ery proposition, however,
for tho nomination of ono senator ut a time
hinges on tho selection of Thompson ns
tho South Plntto candidate, llrst and then
letting tho others light It out, with or
without his help, nnd nf course fnlls to
supply tho requisites of a fair contest
with every man on an equal plane, as de
manded by those favoring tho ntmultnncmi
nomination, to say nothing of running the
risk of leaving tho second scnatorshlp un
filled. Another unsuccessful attempt was mado
tonight to hold n caucus undor tho 67-47
slngln ballot call, hut only about twenty
members attended, nnd tho mooting wns
adjourned to Thursday evening. Tho pro
motors of this meeting had predicted that
Ihero would bo fifty members present.
I'nlilleily lliirenu nt Work.
In tho meanwhile the publicity bureau
of tho anti-Thompson cnmpslgn is work
ing overtime. A strong letter has been
sent out to country weeklies over tho namo
of Frank Harrison, formerly Melklcjuhn'n
chief of literary staff, denouncing In un
mensured terms tho Thompson manage
ment and reviewing certain episodes In
his career, and memborn of Iho legislature
carry away small armloads of mall d'llly
from their postolllco boxes, lurgely markod
newspapers, containing articles either urg
Ing hnsto In action or arguing for or
against tho Thompson candidacy.
, You havo to go away from home to get
tlio news. Speaker Scars has a copy of
a llttlo obscure weekly paper printed In
central Pennsylvania, which gives Us rend
