Speaker Carlisle's Condition.

WAsmlNGToN. Jan. l7.-[Specal Telegram
to the BEE. Great concern is felt this morn
ing about Speaker Carlisle. He had n second
congestve chill at o'clock and has three
doctors working over him to prevent third,
of which there are marked symptoms. The
third chill is almost always fatal.
AT II o'clock the doctor reported the speak
cr's condition much improved
AT 9 o'clock tonight Mr.. Carlisle was rest
ing quietly, and on the whole, was consdera-
bly, better than he was this morning. He
had, however, another chill during the after
noon, to which the doctor seemed to attach
but little Importance. DR. Sewers was asked:
"Is he dangerously or even seriously illi'
~ do not so regard him." was the reply.
"lt may be some time before he is able to be
about, but he sits up in bed has never for a
moment lost consciousness and has had sew
cral hours of refreshing sleep, and think
that without repeated and violent recur
renee of the chills he will get along without
any serious trouble. On the whole he is
certainly improving"

PlTiFUL TALES OF THE STORM.
Reports From Interior Counties show
a Frightful Loss of Life--Six-
teen Bodies Found in
Two Counties.
Appalling Fatalities.

NELIGH, Neb., Jan. H. Special Telegram
to the BEE. AS reports come in from the
recent storm, the loss of life is appalling No
accurate estimate of the loss Of life of stock
can yet be made. AS far as heard from there
were no fatalities in this county, and every
portion, except the extreme northern, sent in
reports. Southeastern Holt and the northern
part of Wheeler suffered ter
rble. In this section, among the
deaths are the following: A school
teachers, and eight children, names un-
known; five men named. Sickle, four frozen
to death looking for fifth who was out when
the storm came. An old man named Gloze ;
ten year old boy named Miller, frozen to
death and his mother frozen so she will loose
both of her legs and one arm. Mrs. Miller
was returning at the time from the funeral
of another child 1t is more than likely
further reports will add to the list in Wheeler
county and southeastern Holt as the
country is very level and is thinly settled.
The loss of stock will be great but no est-
mate is possible at the present

The Hunting Party and the Blizzard.

York, Neb., Jan. 17.-[Special Telegram
to the BEE. Among the many who suffered
from the severe storm of last Thursday the
worst yet reported was a party consisting of
r.. f.. Post, cashier of the Boston bank, j. S.
Gardner of this city, and driver named
Snyder. The party went out on Thursday on
a hunting expedition with team and sleigh.
The storm came upon them with the sudden
ness which characterized its coming in all
parts of the state. The men finding it i'm
possible to proceed in any direction with the
team, unhitched and turned the horses loose
and struck out on foot to find shelter. After
II terrible experience they accidentally
stumbled upon wire fence which
they followed to the F'remoit,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley raiifond
track. Once on the track they followed it to
Thayer, reaching there about dark. Mr..
Post was the greatest sufferer. He succumbed
several times and had it not been for the he
roic efforts of his companions would have
frozen to death. The party found shelter for
the night at Thayer and returned to Poston
Friday morning. The numerous reports
which have appeared in the state press to the
effect that Judge Post, of this city, was out
i'll the storm and is still missing originated
from this incident.

Died in the Teachers Arms.

PLAINvIEw, Seb. Jan. 17.-[Special Tele-
gram to the BEE. Miss Louise Royce, who
has been teaching school eight miles north
east of this place, having but three pupils on
the day of the storm, started at = o'clock to a
a house about twenty rods distant. Having
her hand full to keep the little ones from
being blown away, and blinded with snow
she soon found herself lost with three small
children in the terrible storm. They wan
dered in vain to find shelter. At last the
children were completely tired out they all
laid on the snow IN dispair. The teacher
tried to shelter the little ones with her wraps,
but early in the night one of the boys passed
away in death. Later the other little boy
died and about morning the little girl died in
the arms of her teacher. Then Miss Royce
left the little ones and went to the house only
about thirty rods away. Her feet are badly
frozen and she will probably loose them.
She is badly chilled and slightly frozen else
where. The children were the son of H. Po-
genses, eight years old and son and daugh-
ter of C. Rosberg, aged seven and nine
Years.

Two Little Boys Frozen.

FOSTER, Neb., Jan. Especial to the
BEE. The sudden storm of Thursday last
was the worst known for many years. Two
people living two miles from this place were
frozen to death. Henry Keickhafcr and his
son, twelve years of age, left their home to
drive their cattle ont of the corn stalks into
the yard They lost their way and wan
dered with the storm for two and half
miles east, where their bodies were found
to-day lying side by side They passed two
houses but a few rods away The storm was
so binding they were unable to find them
and laid down in the open prairie to freeze.
There was several other narrow escapes,
with frozen noses, faces and hands, Dat not
very serious. 1t is, however, feared more
deaths will be reported when farmers living
further away come in.
There is a great loss of cattle, nearly
every farmer losing some. One farmer lost
forty head and others one to twenty each.
No trains have run on this (Creghton)
branch for three days. The first eastern
mail since THURSDAY came this afternoon.

mously.

Wemost earnestly and unqualitiedly

We believe that euch resolution Is die

oppression, and that the public revenue
should as far as possible be derived from
taxes levied upon the Injuries rather
than the necessities OF life.
The fourth section OF the platform de-
mauds the forfeiture OF unearned land
grants aud approves the Presidents mes
sage on that subject.
The fifth section ugyests that the pen
sion roll should be a roll Of honor with
ont visiting on the people so great a
financial burden.
The other resolutions deuounce the
policy of the English Government and
express sympathy with Che laboring
classes, favor the election of United
States senators by the erect vote OF the
people, ask that enlarged powers he
given to the State Railway Commission,
and demand Of the General Government

Dor improvements,

WILLIAMSBURG, VA. April STERLING
Jefferson was drowned last night in Col
lege creek, short distance from here, by
the sinking of the lighter on which he
and three other colored men were asleep.
The lighter was anchored in very ex-
posed place and was laden 10 within a
few inches of the gunwale and was
probably sunk by the waves washing
over the top. The first notice that the
crew had of anything wrong was a sud
den lurch and rush of water into the
cabin. Jefferson, who was asleep in
top bunk, was unable to escape and was
carried down by the lighter. His body
was recovered to-day.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 4. -Reiurns
Tonight indicate the election Of ia,t
Q,epublicanl for Governor 10y 1000 to
1910 majority The Republicans claim
the election Of forty-eeyen senators and
representatives, not counting rroyi-
deuce. Pawtucket, or Newport, and esti-
mate a Republican majority Of five on
Joint ballot.
Latcr-The State election to-day
went Republican by about 1900 on the
general ticket aud a clean sweep of the
Democratic Legislature, the Republicans
capturing this city. with twelve repre-
sentatives and senator, and about
twenty-five Of the other thIrty-fye
towns. Pawtucket is not heard from on
the Assembly ticket, and Newport sue
ceeded in electing only senator, Demo
cratic, failing in the election on five
representatives Both cities, however,
endorsed the Republican gubernatorial
ticket. The proposed amendment to tae
Constitution abolishing real estate quail
fications for foreign born voters will pro-
baby not get the necessary two-thirds
vote.

damages. The case was tried here last
year, and resulted in hung jury, eleven
being in favor of damages and one
against giving anything. When the case
came up yesterday the counsel for Stur-
gis moved for change Of venue on the
ground that the defendant could not Sc
cure an impartial verdict in the commu-
nifty, where so much feeling had been
evinced in the case. The motion was
granted, and the counsel for Mrs. Mears
after consultation decided to discontinue
further proceedings and so informed the
Court. Mrs. Mears was represented by
Congressman T. II. Bayley Browne and

CINCINNATI, Aprl "A special from
the City of Mexico reports that while a
bull-fight was progressing yesterday at
Celaya the enclosure took fire. 1t was
composed of very light and inaammable
woodwork and mating. and it burned
rapidly. 1t was easily burst through by
the people inside. A tremendous panic
ensued, which was heightened by the
bulls breaking out of their stalls when
the flames reached them. They charged
through the struggling multitude, and
some persons were gored and trampled
to death 10y these animals. Deaths from
burning and trampling numbered eigh-
teen up TO this morning, and other
deaths were expected. Sixty-eight per-
sons were badly burned, and fifty were
injured by being trampled in the rush.
The fire was incendiary and was started
by some prisoners who had been per-
mitted, as a special favor, to attend the
spectacle under guards. These rascals
all escaped in the confusion.

and Mr. McMillin moved to adjourn un-
til Friday, so that the prospects OF re-
cess, which seemed near az hand, disap-
pesred, and the parliamentary situation
was about the same rs it had been three
hours previously, and the Clerk began 10
call the roll on the motion to adjourn
until Friday. On this motion no quo
rum voted, and a call Of the House was
ordered.
At 1890 o'clock the situation in the
/ House remained unchanged. except that
there has been a gradual falling oil in
the number of members responding to
| their names upon roll-call.
The call OF the House elected the fact
/ that there were 2l6 members present,
hut this number dwindled away, and the
/ vote by which proceedings under the
call were dispensed with footed up but
| li9 still less than a quorum Filibus-
tering motions were again interiectod,
and the voice OF the Clerk, rendered some
what husky from the task imposed upon
him Of calling fifteen roll-calls during
the day, again filed the hail.
Though the hour is still early and the
prospects of an all-night session are
STRENGTHENING, the House is already
showing the effects OF the long session.
The seats and sofas in the rear OF the
chamber are occupied by members who
are either giving themselves over to
slumber or are smoking and chatting in
order TO resist the tendency 10 sleep.
The atmosphere in the hall is heavy with
tobacco smoke the floor is strewn with
old bills and scraps Of paper the spec
tators in the gallery, tired OF the dresry
monotony of the proceedings, have
almost all departed and, altogether, the
House does not present very cheering
scene.
Both sides seem determined TO carry
the fight on. The advocates Of the
direct-tax bill feel that if they permit an
adjournment the chances for the passage
of the measure at the present session of
Congress are very small, while It's oppo-
nents, being Of the same opinion, are
putting forward every effort to secure an
adjournment. It is possible, however,
that towards | or o'clock the WEAKNESS
will weaken the determination Of both
the advocates and opponents, and that
some compromise will be effected.

accomplished in the House and the situa-
ton is unchanged. Even the spirit Of
