LINCOLN. Jan. 17. (Specie.!.) - No repub
lican opposition to the flection of Gilbert
M. Hitchcock as I'nlted States senator
materialised In either houaejof the Ne
braska state legislature this mornlnK and
the. democratic candidate was chosen by a
vote of Ki to It In the lioi.re and 30 to 1 In
the senate.
Thrrcpubllcans followed the plan agreed
upon last night, when those who were not
bound by any statement under the Oregon
plan and those who did not feel under
other obligations decided to vote for Sen
ator Hurkett.
The ten votes cast for Burkett In the
house were: Baker. Barclay, Fllley. Haller,
Herxog. Housh. Kirk. Meyer. MrClellan
and Smith. Three republican members
were absent, Johnso. Nutrmaln and Mr
K el vie.
It. R. Smith handed In a written expla
nation saying that whenever Hitchcock
submits to one of IiIh own investigating
committees he would vote, for him: other
wise he waa for Hurkett.
In the senate only one vote went Hgainst
llivhcock and that waa cast by Peter
Jansen of Gage, complimentary to Daniel
AVoolford Cook, a banker of Beatrice. Sen
ator Hoagland cant his vote for Hitchcock
with the explanation that he had no de
tlre as a republican to add anything to
the prestige of Mr. Illlc.icock by making
thi decision unanimous, but merely wanted
to follow the wishes of the people In mak
ing a choice.
Joint setoa Today.
Tomorrow at noon th ehouaes will meet
In, Joint session.' The two journals will be
canvassed and when It Is found that the
democratic candidate had a majority he
will be declared elected. Mr. Hitchcock
will make an address to the assembled leg
islators. New Orleans was chosen as the prefer
cJ of the house for the site of the Pan
ama exposition and contrary to expecta
tions the vote aroused no discussion and no
oratory. The resolution of Representative
Johnson for New Orleans, which Was of
fered a sa substitute to the Han Francisco
resolution of W. A. Prince, was voted
upon and passed by a vote of At to 3H. I
The Douglas county delegation with the
exception of Shoemaker stood pat against
the southern location and when Sink of
Hall waa called upon for his vote he
bawled out "No, ' with such disgusted
vehemenoe that the galleries were moved
to amlla.
Iraat Mar Follow Molt.
U seems probable that the choice of the
senate will agree on New Orleana also, al
though the matter Is for th epresent In
the hands of a committee composed of
Banning, Albert, Jansen, Reagan, Smith of
Fillmore, Iee and Hoagland.
The attention of the house was called
to the contest over tho seat of Scheele of
Reward by a letter from the secretary of
atate. Secretary Walt reminded the
speaker that the papers In the contest had
been submitted to him and should be given
over to the consideration of the house Im
mediately. The republicans, In the hope
of making the contest amount to some
thing as an effort to unseat Scheele, tried
to get It referred to a apeclal commit tee.
The motion was made by Kvans of Adams,
but the speaker, resting upon bis preroga
tive In the treatment of a minority point
of order, overruled the motion and referred
the matter to the committee on privileges
and elections. This committee was finally
made tip of seven deimx rat, and four re
publicans. One of the democrats la dry,
making the dry and wet vote, which will
Jirobably decide the committee report, six
to five for the wets.
Representative Gustafson withdrew house
loll 102. the primary measuru which he in
troduced yesterday, because it does awav
with primaries completely and be Intended
to Introduce a very different sort of a t
Dieasure. He asked the legislative refer
ence department to draw a hill for him
which would repeal the men p:lmary law
and re-establish the old closed primary.
The clerks In the legislative reference de
partment were under the Impression that tf
the present law was repealed the old law
would come Into force again, which is of
oure not true, and the passage of the
bill which actually was presented would
have brought back the convention system.
A new measure re-establishing the closed
primary will be Introduced by Gustafson
in place of Ih one withdrawn.
In the house. Speaker Kuhl announced
that house roll eighty-two. which he had
previously referred to the committee on
Judiciary would be referred Instead, to the
committee on live stock and grazing. This

Quackenbush of Nemaha reported for the

It was necessary to provide for renting

tldrlch.
HALTIMOLK. Jan. IT. -Tariff problems!
with' all the vlcitiulen they bring from ',
topics at the Jackson day gathering of;
the democrats here today. This was '
evident at the mass meeting this after- i
noon and also at the banquet tonight. . j
The issue was met by all the speakers, i
Some frankly acknowledge there would be
differences of opinion among the democrats
on that subject as there had been among
the republicans. Senator Bailey, for In
stance, while declaring that harmony of
action must be the watchword of the
democracy If It was to retain the advan
tage obtained at the last election, took
direct Issue with those who advocate piece
meal revision of the tariff. Champ Clark
of Missouri, speuker-to-l of the bouse had
just announced that the sentiment among
house democrats seemed to favor piecemeal
revision, schedule by schedule If possible,
but Item by Item If necessary.
"And the most obnoxious Items first."
exclaimed Mr. Clark.
Governor Harmon of Ohio, one of the
leading figures in the gathering also
pounced on the tariff, as did practically
every one of the speakers.
u Hum Launched.
The day passed, as the democratic
leaders wished, without an attempt to
launch a boom for the presidential nomi
nation In 1S12. Senator Bailey, while lock
ing horns with Champ t.'lark on the method
of revision of the tariff, paid the demo
cratic leader of the house the tribute of
placing hlin In the presidential class.
"If Champ Clark mayea a belter speaker
that Mr. Harmon makes a governor we
will nominate him for president, " he said
amid enthusiasm at the I.yrlc meeting.
"But," lie added, "If Governor Harmon
makes a better governor than Champ Clark
makes a speaker, then we are Koing to
nominate Mr. Harmon." i
The tariff was acknowledged as the fac
tor which brought about the defeat of the
republican party In the lasjt campaign and
with eual frankness the democratic lead
ers acknowledged that If they did not
deal wisely with that issue and fulfill the
hopes of the country democratic success
would not, be long lived. '
And while they were not discussing the
tariff democratic leaders were calling out
shouts of laughter and rounds of applause
by their witty and vitriolic attacks on the
"grand old party." The whole breed of
elephants, it was announced, would be ex
terminated in 1D12.
Roosevelt General Target.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt came in for
a large share of the maledictions hurled
at the republican party. Former Senator
J. C. S. Blackburn of Kentucky claimed
the privilege at the afternoon muss meeting
of dealing with the colonel. He said the
"new nationalism" enunciated by Colonel
Roosevelt was filled with trea-son "deeper
and darker" than any charged against the
south from "61 to '66.
Governor Harmon was the first speaker
at the afternoon meeting and adhered
closely to his prepared speech. Champ
Clark and Senator Bailey strayed far afield
at times and interjected impromptu re
marks ithat were filled with interest and
significance.
Mr. Clark warneed his fellow democrats
that it was the failure o fthe republican
party to keep its pledges that brought
about Its defeat, and that the deemocratic
party must live up to its promises in every
Mr. Clark referred, to the new tariff law
as the "Payne-Aldrlch-8moot monstrosity."
"I put Senator Smoot In," he declared,
"because 1 believe in giving the devil his
due. for Sinoot of I'taii. one of the twelve
apoatles. had more to do with cooking up
that bill than any other man save AI
drich." Senator Bailey said democrata were In
accord as to the necessity and the extent
to which the tariff should be revised, and
the principle which should underlie that
revision. The only difference of opinion,
he asserted, would be on the method of re
vision. Mld-Fashloned Way for Bailey.
"I"t i prepare a tariff bill exactly aa if
we had control of the senate and the presi
dency," lie said, "and then If the repub
licans ofthe senate refuse to taka it up,
that will be time enough to tal kabout re
vision schedule by schedule. If we are not
capable of preparing a conplete tariff bill,
e will disappoint the hopes of the coun
try and ilauh the prospects of the demo
cratic party. Lay every duty for revenue
and none for protection."

Sinks and is Raised;
Whole Crew Saved
Crew Had Good Supply of Oxygen and
Talked with Rescue Party by
Means of Buoy Telephone.
KIKU Germany, Jan. 17. The tlerman
submarine "V. 8" sank In the harbor to-
day, but was raised after three hours'
work and the crew of twenty-five men
rescued unharmed.
The sinking was due to the accidental
filling of the water bunkers. Soon after
It disappeared the salvage ship Vulkan,
which Is equipped with modem machinery
for the raising of submerged vessels was
on tho spot and gave the first successful
demonstration of what It could do in an
emergency.
First communication with the submarine
was established by a buoy telephone over
which the commander of the "V. 3" re
ported that the vessel had a forty-eight-hour
supply of oxygen and that the crew
was in no immediate danger.
Divers were then sent down and. they
placed a chain about the bull of tho sub
marine and soon the "U. 3" slowly was
released from its bed in the mud.
Prince Henry of Prussia was an inter
ested spectator of the operations.
