The exposition management has also pro vided a carload of fancy corn for decorsy tlve purposes.

In spite of strong pressure by the direc tors of the National Com exposition and by a committee of the most prominent business men of Omaha, the railroads still refuse to grant any requests for rates west of the Missouri river to the corn show. Over a month ao the directors secured a promise of 1H cents a mile east of the Missouri river from all the roads, but for some reason or another the railroads re fuse to give to the corn exposition the same rates which were granted to the state fair and the fall festivities and all the state fairs of the west The Burlington and the Union Pacific seem to be ths roads which are holding out In this matter, as the others say there cmfwyp bm bm m as the others say they are willing; to come across If these two roads will get Into line Local representatives of these two roads lave done what they could for these rates, but the officials at Chicago are the final ruthorlty in such matters, and they say nay. Railroads centering in Omaha are pre pared for whatever rush comes along for the Natioral Corn exposition. Large num bers of extra cars have been sent out along the llres and will be used as the occasion demands. The Union Pacific has arranged for no special trains, because of the large number of regulur trains which that road has In and out of Omaha every day, but extra coaches will be added to the trains as needed. Present Indications are that more peoplj will come from the east of Omaha than from the west. The east ern farmers realise more the value of In tensive farming and of a better grade of seed corn. They have been forced to study these conditions by the higher price which they pay for their lands and Indications are that, thousands will come from Iowa and Illinois and Indiana and nth. west states. The Burlington has arranged uor iour special trains to the corn exposl tion. REPRIEVE GRANTED BILLIK Governor Shrrmaa Grants Stay to Maa Condemned to Die Thla Week. SPRINGFIELD. 111.. Das. I.I.H..

Mr. Ekstromcr came into public notice some time ago through controversy with federal officials whl.h resulted In the re vocation of his exequatur by President Roosevelt. Later he was re.nstaWd In the good graces of the administration and re sumed his cffhlal duties he.e. Apparen ly B.kstrotner re per, te J of his act when too late, as a card was found on which he hud bcawled: "I have taken prusstd acid for the pur pose of suicide. Call Dr. L ingran." The physician, a neighbor, could not aid him. Kkctrotner Is auivlved by a widow. Mrs. Eksiromer can ass gn no reason for the sjlciuo. The other mem ers of tils family, two -step-daughters, are al-o at a loss to account for his action. M . Ek stromer was 51 years o.d and seemingly In perfect health. As Stved sh vl e-consui snd as manager of the Wed Dlslnf.ct nt com pany, i577 Olive street, his social a net busi ness connections were of the best. So far as can be learned he had no financial troubles. It was his championing of the cause of E. O. LewU, publisher and organ ser of ihe People's United Mates bank, that brouaut down the wrath of the president on Ek- strome . In A. arch, 1907, Ekstroircr went to Wash-! ington ut the head of a commit ee of Lewis' acihe.ents and asked for an audi ncj with the pres.ciont. They wished to tel. Roite velt that In their opinion the second class mall privileges were be.r.g wrongfully with- , held from Lvwls publications. The presl- i dent refused to see them. I On his return to St. Louis Ekstromcr ' wrote a letter .o the president In w. ich he denounced Postmaster Ge.ieral Cortel. ou, accus.ng h.m of unfairness, lie also called the president's refusal to tee the St. Luuls iommt.ee "un-American and unjust." i This trought forth a stitement from the White House that Ekstiomer's lets.' was "impertli.ent, uncalled for and ('.Is ourtejus" and that the statements contulned In it were untrue ", P es dent Rootevelt notified the minister from Swoden that Ekstromnr was "persona non grata" and forthwith Ekstromcr's exe quatur as vice-consul Was rev ked. At the earnest solicitation of the SweUsh mlnis er Ekstromer later wro;e n ; pology to the pres dent and In July, 1907, Eks rom r was reinstated as vice-consul. He has held the polt on ever since.

Mr. Pollard went over with Ihe president-elect the political sltua tion in Nebraska and the causes leading up to his defeat.

BOTH SESSIONS AHE DHIEK Itoase and Senate Adjonrn Oat of Respect to Deceased Members. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Both houses of congress held brief sessions today, ad journments being taken out of respect to the memory of those members who had died during the recess. The only business transacted by the senate was the swearing In of Senator Page of Vermont. The first half hour that the house was In session was devoted to a roll call to ascertain the presence of a quorum. The-formal opening; of the body witnessed a remarkable demon stration for Speaker Cannon, the republi cans and many democrats loudly clapped their hands and cheered for several min utes. Soon after Mr. Sherman of New Tork, vice president-elect, came Into the chamber and he was accorded an ovation from his republican colleagues. In like manner the democrats roundly applauded the new loader, Champ Clark, when he arose In his place and forced an explana tion regarding the absence of credentials of a nw member from the third New Tork district. Great Demand for Seats. For many days past the demand for cards which entitled the bearers to seats in the respective galleries has been so great that when the doors of the mas sive structure were thrown open at $ n' clock a crowd of more than sufficient size to take up the entire seating capacity of the two chambers had assembled. From that time on they came in droves, the cor ridors on both floors being filled with crowds surging back and forth, while long lines of people stood outside each gallery door relying for an opportunity to get even a peep Into the senate or house, on some of the more fortunate ones vacating their seats. The unfavorable weather conditions did not seem to have the effect of reducing the size of the crowds as gauged by those which had gathered on slmlllar occasions. . In both bodies among the most Interested spectators were the members of the diplo matic corps who were present In goodly numbers. Numerous high officials of the government likewise occupied seats and they, too, displayed the keenest interest In the proceedings. The rule of the senate and house pro hibiting the placing- of floral pieces on the desks was rigidly enforced. The contribu tions in this regard were many and hand some, but their donors were obliged to content themselves with having them placed In the private lobbiea Sessions Called to Order. Immediately after the senate had been called to order at 12 o'clock today by Vice President Fairbanks and Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the chaplain, had opened tne session with prayer, Benator Dillingham of Vermont presented the credentials of his colleague, Senator-Elect Carroll 8. Page, who was at once sworn In. After the usual committees had been ap pointed by the senate to inform the presi dent and the house of representatives of the meeting of that body, and a resolution of regret upon the death of Senator Allison had been adopted, the senate at 13:25 o'clock adjourned to meet at 12 o'clock tomorrow. The house was called to order at noon. When Vice President-Elect Sherman en tered the chamber he was accorded an ovation by his republican colleagues. When Speaker Cannon mounted the plat form and called the houss of representa tives to order, he also received an ovation at the hands of his republican colleagues. Nt a few democrats Joined In the demon stration which continued for several min utes. The two floor leaders, Sereno E. Payne of New Tork, republican, and Champ cianc or Missouri, democrat, were early In their seats and each was accorded a hearty greeting by the members Irrespective of party affiliation. The roll call disclosed the presence of 331 members. Seven new members then were sworn In- to fill vacancies that oc curred by death or resignation since the last session. Among them was Eben M. Masters, republican, successor to Mr. Parker, republican, from South Dakota at large. Meaaave Comes Tomorrow. Tuesday will be given up to the read ing of the president's message.

TOWNSKAD IS FOIl CANNON Michigan Congressman Maya II la Not After Speakership. WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-The speakership fight was somewhat cleared today by Rep resentative Townsend of Michigan declaring to the members who approached him on the subject that he was not a candidate for speaker. "Who is your candidate," he was asked. "I am for Cannon," he replied. "That Is provided he will give due deferenoe to the desire to amend the rules and I believe he will do so." Notwithstanding this action on th part of Mr. Townsend, Representative Murdock of Kansas was confearlng with members With a 'view of organizing opposition to the speaker. "At the pfoper time, we will hold a con ference,' said Mr. Murdock. "The senti ment sgalnst Mr. Cannon is growing. We want to make sure that no 'Cannon man Is st our conference." " DEMOCRATS WILL INVESTIGATE Plan te Demand Inquiry Into Panama Farchaae. WASHINGTON, Deo. 7. Ths democrats of the bouse are planning to demand an inves lgatton of the pure aaa rf ths Panama canal property, and In conformity with this program Representative Ralney of Illinois today introduced a resolution directing the speaker to appoint a committee of five to "ascertsln how much of the $40.0;0,0un which appears on record to have been psild to the French company was really paid to thnl company." It Is ssld that the notional democratic committee requentrd Mr. Ralney to present the resolution. The resolution provides that the commit tee shall ascertain 'if any portion of the $40,000,000 was directly or Indirectly paid to American tlSfns, or la an American syndi cate, and If any member or senator proMted by the transaction.
