Looking Bad For Lydecker.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-In the Ly-
decker court martial to-day Robert Con-
don testified how the work was hurried
along by order of his employer, which
accounted for its bad quality in many
cases. Thomas Davis. stone mason, told
how nice little bulkheads were built to
conceal bad work and how the guard al
ways gave warning of the approach of
Lieut.. Townsend or Col. Kirkliu. If
Mai. Lydecker had visited the tunnel
daily the men could not have done half
as much bad work as they did. Thos.
O'Brien, sub-inspector, testified that he
received 81 day extra pay from the con-
tractor in addition to his salary from the
government. He figured on the pay
rolls under fictitious name. Mai. Ly.
decker did not go through the tunnel
while witness was there.

By seeing as much as you can of the
world, but ere you set out either rs
a tourist, commercial traveller or emf
grant-whether you 20 by rail, steam
ship or steamboat, provide yourself with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which the
travelling public recognizes as the finest
medical safeguard and preventive of sea
sickness with which anyone io~urneying by
land or water can be provided. 1t fur.
nishes to the western pioneer adequate
protection against malaria, rheumatism,
and those disorders of the bowels which
miasma tainted water beget. Its soda
tive effect upon a stomach pcrturbed by
the rocking of a ship is truly magical,
and it is a capital appetizer and nerve in
.vigorator. Excellent is it for b~iliousness
and kidney inaction, and it counteracts.
in a remarkable degree, the effects of
fatigue, physical or mental. After wet
ting and exposure in inclement weather it
should be used as a preventive.

Louis WOlfey and John C. New
Confirmed.
In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March fisherman
offered a resolution (which went oser) for
the appointment of a committee to wait
upon the president and inquire if he has
any other business to lay before the SEN
ate. Cockrell, from the select committee
to inquire into the methods of business
in the executive departments, made a
final report and made statements in re-
gard to the conditions of the business in
some branches OF the public service.
AT the close of Cockrelrs remarks the
vice president said the report would be
laid on the table and printed. Objection
was made to this going in the Record as a
precedent for the transaction of regular
business at this session. Cockrell ex-
planned that that the regular session had
given permission for the presentation of
this report at the called session. This
obviated the objection.
Call offered a resolution, which was laid
on the table for the present, declaring:
First, that committees of the senate should
be organized with reference to the equality
of states and their senators in the rights,
privileges and powers of the senate. Sec
onde that senator's shall not be assigned
to more than one of the following commit
tees: Appropriations, military affairs,
naval affairs, judiciary, foreign relations,
finance, post Office, public lands, com
merce and interstate until after
every senator shall have been assigned to
one of them. Third, that seniority Of
service shall give preference in the assign
ment of committees unless otherwise or
dered by the senate. Fourth, that each
OF the ten committees named shall be COM
posed OF eleven senators.
The nat then proceeded to executive
business.
When the senate was sitting with
closed doors the resolution allowing a
clerk for Senator Vance was reported
from the committee on contingent ex-
penses and adopted. Evarts, from the
library committee, reported a preamble
and resolution, which was adopted, that
the senate accept the invitation of the

senate.
At 4:25 the senate adjourned.

DENVER, March 2S.-The great inter
est in Colorado over the opening of the
Oklahoma lands Is evidenced by the
througs that crowded the office of the
company from the time it was opened
this morning. All day the Office wa be
sieGed by anxious people waiting their
turn to enroll themselves upon the COM
pany's books and learn every possible de-
tail of the country. During to-day a pri.
vate colony of railroad employees, number
ing over fifty, appeared at the office and
expressed a desire to Join them, which
was granted. 1t is thought $50 people

The United States consul at Perham-
buco, Cahill, reports to the department of

positive nature that the president will
nominate Judge Chandler of ~Independ-
ence, kans., to be first assistant secretary

tory, to begin business with a capital of

CHICAGO, March 2S.-Superintendent
Croeker Of the Chicago, Santa Fe & Cali
fornia railway was notified this morning of
an attempt to wreck the westbound lin
tied train on that road near Chillicothe,
Ills, last night. Ties were piled upon the
track, but fortunately the pilot of the
engine threw them from the rails without
derailing the engine or train. The limited
is generally well loaded and the Wells
Fargo Express company carries a lot of
valuables on the train. The officials OF
the Santa Fe ace inclined to think robbery
was intended.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The execu-
tive session of the senate lasted between
two and three hours this afternoon and
was confined largely to the discussion of
the nomination of Murat Halsted to be
minister to Germany. Before that came
up the nominations of John G. New to be
consul general to London and Lewis
Wolfey to be governor of Arizona, which
were pending, were confirmed. The final
attempt of the opposition to defeat News
confirmation was based upon the assertion
that his paper, the indianapolis Journal,
had published articles rejecting upon the
private character of President Cleveland.
This charge was warmly denied by Senator
voorhees, of Indiana and the nomination
was confirmed.
The committee on foreign relations
favorably reported all the diplomatic nom
nations of yesterday. but in the case of
Halsted the report was not unanimous.
On the motion to confirm his nomination
the nays were in the majority, Senators
Teller, Plumb, ingalls,, Farwell and Cul-
lom voting with the Democrats.
Sherman moved to reconsider the vote
and on hat motion a long debate ensued,
In the course of which the ground of OBJ
lection to Halsted was disclosed. When
the senate refused TO enter upon the in
vestigation of the election of Senator
Payne of Ohio Halsted, whose paper, the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, had
strongly urged investigation and made
unccmplimentary illusions to the Repub-
leans who voted against the investigation.
The feeling against him on the part of
senators who fell under his displeasure at
that time is very bitter, and one of them
IS reported to have said to President Har-
rison this morning that Halsted could not
be confirmed; that the senators whom he
had criticised would not vote for him.
The motion to reconsider was pending
when the senate adjourned. The vote on
confirmation was taken before there were
any speeches made. -
