Mr.. Breckinridge's reference 10 Morrison

on the democratic side hands and arms were
wildly waved and books tossed into the air.
Turning toward Mr.. Randalls seat Mr..
Breckenridge expressed his high appreciation
Of Mr.. Randall's past services aud OF his

to hear the gentleman close his speech by

and looked into the present and future.
The applause which had been literally in

man took his seat. Cheer followed cheer,
ladies in the gallery waved their handker-
chiefs, and Mr.. Breckinridge's colleagues
rushed forward enthusiastically to grasp his
hand.

LINCOLN, Neb., May lS.-The case against
Bud Lindsay for selling liquors on Sunday
came up in the police court this afternoon.
The defendant moved 10 quash the complaint
0)because il charges no crime; GU because
there is no ordinance in force on the subject.
In September, Iss7, the city council, by a
vote of 6 to ;. purported to pass an ordinance
raising the license fee for 1888 to 81 800.
This ordinance was signed, duly certified to
and published. When the time came fot
granting licenses in 1883, Clerk Manly refused
TO issue license for less than 81 500, though all
claimed that tine ordinance Of September,
1857, had never been legally passed ana was
therefore invalid. TO correct this error the
council early in April passed Oh ordinance
formally repeating the ordinance Of 1851,
The theory Of the defense is that the repeal
ing Of the September, 1857, ordinance 10y the
ordinance Of April, lsSS, leaves the city with
out any ordinance regulating the sale Of
liquors In this city. After argument in the
Junge Houston took the motion under advise
ment until Monday.

HIGHMoRE, May 15.--One of our old eet-
tiers, Gustav Branded, has had a United
States land decision in his favor. 1t seems
that when he made his proof on his pre-emp-
ton he answered 'yes'' to the question IL he
had left or abandoned land Of his own, etc,
under advice, he being a German scarcely un-
de~rstanding English and totally ignorant OF
our land laws, when the fact is he made proof
upon a homestead and Afterwards sold it, and
after that went from his homestead to his
presumption. His answer Of "yes' cancelled
his homestead entry under the protest Of one
Mary Doyle, an imbecile. He was permitted,
To make a new presumption proof which no
did befJre the clerk Of the district court here,
in which he made several afiidavits, setting
forth among other things that he was wrongly
advised and that he was being robbed Of his
claim. In the meantime one Hugo Crosser
placed a homestead fling on this land and
advertised to make proof at one time, but he
could not get witnesses ID prove his residence
and improvements, neither OF which he had
made; and when MIR. Branded made his
second presumption proof Crosser was
on hand 10 protest, hut failed 70
find any one TO draw the required affidavit
for him. Mr.. Branded was on hand IN forco
and prepared to resist a 5oasted attack upon
his person by Crosser. Happily all passed
Off without a protest by Croeser, whose claim
was his fling on Brandcll's land before the
land office had finally disposed OF BrardelPs

WASHINGTON, May 1~6.-ChalrmaA
Mills of the committee on ways and
means was today asked by a United Press
reporter what there was Of truth in the
statement published this morning to the
effect that he had proposed TO Republi-
cans in the house TO take a direct vote on
the tariff without debate under the five
minute rules. Mr.. Mills said several DAYS
ago the Democratic members of the com
mittce submitted a proposition to the Re
publicans, it was, that at the
conclusion of the general debate
the Republicans might move to
strike out all after the exacting clause
and substitute a bill which they nave In
preparation. If this failed 10 secure q
majority of the house, my bill should te
placed upon its passage without debate.
| proposed further that if my proposition
was accepted we would extend the gen
eral debate, to any reasonable limit, say
four or five days.
! nave received no response from the
Republicans. and do not believe tho
proposition will be accepted. The Re
publicans are preparing a measure, which
will represent their party at large. | can
not see the wisdom of coming together
and debating propositions which arc
unanimously accepted as the basis of tho
two parties. The completion Of a tariff
platform is the work of a party caucus
not that of a mixed house. Senator Ali
son was asked what be thought his party
representatives would do with the Mills
proposition. lie replied that he had sew
eral conferences and all the Republican
members Of the committee on finance
had been conferred with, but . final do
cision would not be reached for two or
three days. II was his impression that
the proposition would not be accepted.
Other Republican senators intimate that
the action Of the committee To investi-
gate the tariff indicate tina the Mills
prOnNsitiOn will be rejected.

Tie Blue Book.

ROME, May 10. The parliamentary blue
book which has just been issued bearing
upon the condition ofaEairs in Africa has
produced a most ~unfavcrable impression.
From IA perusal of its contents it appears
that the inaction of the Italian army at
Massawah has been attributed in Il great
measure 10 the representation OF the
British government. On october IL,
1887. Lord Salisbury requested of Signor
Crispi that he order "a suspension of mil.
itary operations until the return
TO Massawah Of MIR. Portal English
mission. which was then in Abyssinla.
Signor Crispi asscnted. but in w subse-
quent dispatches he complained to Lord
Salisbury of the slowness of the Portal
party, and finally, on December Is, mott
fed the British foreign officer that the
near approach of the season when mill
tary operations would be impracticable
would oblige him to order the Italian
troops to the field. AS the event proved,
however, the opportunity for Gen. san
Marzani had passed. and the campaign
terminated fertility if not disastrously.
The chamber of deputies is indignant
over this showing. Signor dc Renzia,
speaking on the subject, said: The mo
ment has o arrived when the govern
ment must do something. After fourteen
months and an expenditure of millions,
VT still have neither peace nor war. Our
soldiers are discouraged, and have lost all
confidence in their leaders, both in tie
field and in the cabinet. We may call
Dogali a glorious Recatomb, but Saati
is none the less an empty inutility."
SignOr Crispi. in his character
~istically impairment tone, replied that the
blue book was not "A subject for academic
discussion. Italy and England could not
maintain opposing interests in Ahyssinia,
but must stand or fall together. This
declaration was received in silence, the
feeling being that if the premier stated
the case correctly England should do her
share toward bringing about a solution
OF the Ahyssinian problem.

from an extended trip through Europe. While
IN Naples, Italy, recently, the doctor met
James c.. Blaine and had conversation with
him. The doctor says: ole did not have
that tired, exhausted look which he wore four
years ago, and he looks a different man. His
hair and beard are almost snow white pow,
and this change is his beard brings out prom

clear and pure as a child's and his eyes are as
keen and as bright as those Of a man who is
twenty-five years younger. ] had heard re-
ports of his iii health, and ! looked at HIM
with al eye Of a physician, and DO not hest
tate to say that he was in superb physical
condition. Those persons who think that he
is not able to endure the strain Of another
campaign will realize their mistake If the
Chicago convention dominates him and he
accepts. His long rest has put him In a bet

ago, and that lis mental strength is none the
less AS amply evidenced 10y his recent let

Manufacturers.

P%GTTsBURG, May 16.-The National
Association of Stove manufacturers are
holding their regular annual gathering
here today, but a veil of the ~profoundest
secresy as usual, is thrown round their
proceedings. All the great foundries of
the west are well represented by dele
gates. The western men, It is said, are
banded together TO try to effect "A reduc-
ton Of prices, and they have some hope
OF carrying their point. The stoves to
be put on the market ncX winter in all
grades. it is predicted, will be sold at
lower rates than those heretofore de-
manded, although it is expected there
will be a lively contest over the adoption
Of the new schedule Of rates proposed by
the Western dealers.

BUFFALO, May 16.-The New York
state Republican convention assembled
here this morning, most of the delegates
having arrived lest night. 1t is expected
that there will ne "A very lively fight over
the nomination Of the four delegates al
large to be sent to the national conven-
ton. There is n strong undercurrent
of feeling III favor of Blaine
as the presidential candidate,
although few Of the delegates appear TO
be inclined 10 give a decisive expression
of their views in this direction. Senator
Tom Platt appears to be running the
convention, and if he can have his way
to.day's choice will include the names Of
Chauncey Nj. Depew, Senator lliscock,
Whitelaw Reid and the famous hero of
the transOm incident, Me too
himself. He will have to ncoun
ter, however, a strong opposition in the
convention for the voters of the rural dis
tricts almost TO a man disapprovc of the
Slate rs fixed this morning and the con
vention's proceedings are likely to be
marked by a rumpus of no mean dimen-
sions. 4 large number of the delegates
have openly expressed themselves in IA
vor of Gresham as a candidate in prefer
ence to running the risk of another defeat
wi,h Blaine as the candidate of the party.

WAsnINGToN, May l7.-Thc house has
resumed the consideration of the tariff
bill in committee Of the whole. Mr..
Peters, Of Kansas, argued that if protec-
ton was robbery as asserted by the other
side then the Mills bill only s%ectionalized
the robbery. Mr.. Anderson, Of Illinois,
opposed protective tariff for having en-
richcd a chosen few, and for having ac-
cumulated "A dangerous surplus in the
treasury. He denied that a return to a
revenue basis would reduce wages, OF
that the protective system had built uI
the manufacturing industries of Illinois.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, eulogizet
the presidents message. and said that i
met with great popular favor. 1t was
the monopoly strata solely that the bill
sought to cut.
