TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY "a, 1899

NO agreement was reached at the conference.
What We're termed the protocols, which Secretary
Bayard wished 10 communicate to Congress-
but which the British and German governments
declined to permit him to make public, were
SIMPLY the daily records of the proceedings of
the conference and not an agreement actually
entered into between the powers. Thus far the
public has no knowledge of what these protocols
contain. they having been merely the report OF
the confidential communications by the con-
Ierees: The fact that Secretary Bayard desired
ments declined to do so, naturally leads TO the
inference that their publication would not have
added anything to the credit Of the two Europ-
can governments concerned in the negotiations

Samoan issue, as it might be called. which makes

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Representative
James n. Burns, of Missouri, was stricken
with paralysis this afternoon at the Capitol.
The first symptom of the approaching at

WORTH in the House, called Mr.. Burnes's
attention to passage of the sundry civil
bill then under consideration. Mr.. Burnes
then remarked that his tongue appeared to
be affected, so that he had great difficulty
in speaking. Noticing that his face ap-
peared to be somewhat drawn on the left
side, Mr.. ButterwOrth insisted upon Mr..
Burnes accompanying him into the
fresh air on the east. portico. Mr.. Burncs.
in short time, expressed himself as feel

committee on appropriations, where he was
induced to take some stimulants and lie
upon a sofa. He soon began to breathe in

the physicians, but they declined to say he
was any better. The stroke appears to af-
feet his left side, the tongue and hand be-
ing most noticeably touched. Mr.. Calling
er says that Mt this stage it is not possible
to determine whether the stroke is the eff
feet of a clot at the base of the brain (which
appears to be the seat of trouble), or a
rupture of blood vessel. In the first case,
with his fine constitution, Mr.. Burnes
might be expected to recover; while if a
blood-vessel is ruptured, the chances are
decidedly against his recovery.
At 7:15 this evening, DR.. Sewers, who had

that the condition of his patient was even
more critical than when he was first

scious, his condition is indeed alarming.
| Even if he should survive the present
attack, said DR.. Sewers, there is imminent
danger of others following, and in that
event the chances of recovery would be
very slight indeed.

THE SPRINGER TERRITORIAL BILL.

The Measure and Amendments to BE Soon
Considered by the Senate Committee.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The prospects for
consideration by the Senate of the terri
torial admission bills seem little brighter.
A considerable portion of to-day was spent
by the friends of the measure in cOnsulta-
tion over the changes which are desired. A
meeting of Dakota people. attended by Sem
ator-elect Moody, Delegate Clifford and Del
egate-elect Matthews, Chief justice Trip
and Justice Spencer, was held in Senator
Davis's committee-room this afternoon, at
the close of which the Dakotans adjourned
to the room of the Senate committee on Ter
ritories and had conference with Senators
Platt and Manderson, of the COM
mittee. During their meeting the
Dakotans ratified a number of amend
ments to the omnibus bill, which will
make it more satisfactory. These amend
ments were drawn by Judge Moody, and
propose, among other things, to do away
with the vote on division provided for in
the Springer bill. 1t is desired that Con-
gress should provide arbitrarily for divis-
ions of the Territory, without further
campaigning upon the subject. Another
amendment provides for the adoption of
the Sioux Falls constitution without hold
ing another constitutional convention
tits the purpose of Dakotans to let
the provisions in relation to a
new election of officers, and on the
question of locating the temporary seat of
government, stand as they are in
the omnibus bill. 1t was de-
cided to-day by Senators Platt and
Manderson, after their conference with the
Dakota people, to call meeting of the
Senate committee on Territories the latter
part of the week or the first of next, and al
ments and then decide upon the line of ac-
ton to be adopted.

Guarding the Electoral Certificates.

washington star
There was something like a row in the
Senate lobby at the last executive session.
There is sturdy looking. .broad-shouldered
man who has been standing near one of the
doors for several days. Heisextremely pa
tient and waits there as stolidly and uncom-
plainingly as a claimant. When the Senate
went into executive session the messengers
and employees went through the lobby like
a cyclone sweeping before them every cne
not permitted to remain about the Senate
during a secret session. The storm ragged
around the sturdy, silent man but he would
not bulge. He defied the cyclone, defied
the Senate. There was a great growing,
and it looked as though there would have
to be an appeal to force. The man demand
ed that the president of the Senate should
decide the matter. The appeal was carried
to Mr.. ingalls, and he decided to let the
man stay. Then the secret was out. This
man was detailed by the president of the
Senate to guard the presidential election
certificates. Like Roman sentinel he re-
manned at his post. This affair, of course
betrayed the location of the hiding place of
the certificates. The man still stands there
in the lobby, and no one now attempts TO
moiest him.
