ing to congress- today his an tito ttery mes
sage has revived the plan devised some time
ago of making a strong effort to carry Louis
lana in the next gubernatorial campaign.
The intention of the republicans in Louis
lana, as exp pressed by prominent republicans
here, is to call an carly convention to nomi
nate Congressman Coleman of Louisiana for
governor and adopt a platform, the principal
feature Of which shall be All uncompromising
anti-lottery plank, and to make the campaign
on the Gnti-lottery issue. The belief is that
there are in Louisiana sufficient honest
white Gen who are opposed to the Louisiana
lottery to poll "a vote for Coleman so strong
that, added to the colored vote, which of
course will be cast for the republican candi
date, as to carry the ticket. The ticket will
not be necessarily republican ticket, but
rather an Independent anti-lottey ticket
MIR. Coleman, il win be RENE embered, did not
vote with the republicans on either the
Mckinley bill or the election bill, but it is be
leved that his own personal popularity, to-
gother with the determined stand taken by
the president and the republican congress In
the matter of the lottery, Will bring out
every republican and enough honest whites
to defeat the democrats The presidents
message this afternoon therefore adds afresh
impetus to this movement
THE FEDERAL ELECTIoS BILL.
Senator Manderson of Nebraska, whooccu
pies the presiding officers chair in the senate
in the absence of Vice President Morton and
Vice President Pro Tempore ingalls, and
who is thoroughly posteda as to the order of
business in the senate, said this afternoon
that there was very littleif any real doubt
that the federal elections bill would be taken
up at this session and adopted. He stated
that the democrats were exceedingly anxious
to have the river and harbor bill passed be-
fore adjouning, as the south was largely
Interested in that measure, and that there
fore the Republicans ought to dispose
OF the tariff before the river and harbor bill is
takenup for consideration. He is persuaded
that IL would be agood policy to place the
federal election bill ahead of the river and
harDOr bill, as it would have the effect of
preventing dilatory tactics on the part Of the
democrats, Senator Henderson stated that
while he opposed such a modification of the
rules as would prohibit the fullest possible
debate upon all questions as long as the de-
bate was continued ina busin eSs-like man.
ner, he was unqu cstionably in ft.Tor of mod-
flying the rules SO that the debate in general
could be terminated at the end Of areasOnable
time and day fixed for the debate in detail
TO close and ayote to be reached upon the
amendment and the main question, The
senator stated that while in the proceedings
of The caucus it did not appear thatit was
the determination OF the republicans TO take
up the election bill before the end of the ses-
sion, he had no doubt that ii would come up
in due time, and he eadded that the modifica-
ton Of the rules would not be made till it be-
came apparent that the democrats intended
to offer factious opposition and diatory tactics
to prevent a final vote. He said that while
tn ere were objections to almost every kind of
an election bill which could be proposed,
whenlt comes to the pith of the general pro
position to further extend federalsupervlsiOn
over con gressoual elections every republican
fav vOred the proposition. The opposition, he
said, was simply as to the details of the
measure. --------.
Congressman Sruble of the Sioux CITY
district created constematiOn in the house
this afternoon by making an assault upon
Speaker Reed contrasting his raSping man
ners toward members of the house who ask
Tor recognition with the courteous treatment
which Mr.. Carlisle always accorded mem
bers on both sides when he was speaker. 1t
seems that during the last congress Il bill was
passed providing for public building at
Sioux City, but it was vetoed by President
Cleveland During the present session the
Iowa senators put a similar bill through
the senate and 1t is among those
that have been agreed to by the committee of
the whole house and is ready to be read q
third time and passed. Mr.. Struble has been
to Speaker Reed anumber of times to secure
recognition but each time the speakertreated
him lin triiing way,n as Mr. Struble put
1t, and gave him no encouragement. Mean
time Mr. Struble's convention was called and
met a few weeks ago, and he was de fcatedfor
denomination Its understood that his de-
feat was in part attributable to delay in
securin g the passage Of the Sioux City pub
lie building bill Notwithstanding his ae-
feat the Iowa gentleman has been to the
speaker several times since to request recOg-
milton, the last time being yesterday The
speaker always gave him 1.-THE laugh'' and
got rid of him as though he was mere bow.
Nettled by the repetition of this kind of
treatment he made up his mind to manifest
his resentment upon the floor of the house
Mr Stuble is courteous, genial gentleman,
with pleasant c0untenan ce aud Is an accom-
plished orator He is pretty much such a
man as Ben Buttcrworth in build. though he
has red hair and whiskors. Whenever he
takes the floor he commands attention and,
like ButterwOrth, is an en- tertaining speaker
Today, while the house was cOnsidcting the
sundry civil appropriation bill Stru bic let go
in fiveminute speech, Speaking of his re-
quests for recognition he said the speaker
treated them in an almost cOntemptuous man
ner He did not propose to stand this sort of
treatment without protest, P6rceiying that
the speaker was not present MIR. Struble ex-
pressed his regret that he was not there to
hear him. He felt that it was an outrage on
the judgment of the house that anyone be
hespeaker or member, should undertake TO
say the house should have no opportunity
to carry, out that Judgment He said
he had been member of the
house SeNcn years anu nttu laD0ftU earnestly
to discharge his duties. He said he had
never askedSpeaker Carlisle to recogize him:
that he had not been treated courteously.
He wanted, he said, TO place in contrast the
kind of treatment Of Speaker Carlisle with
the treatment of Speaker Reed, not only
toward himself, but towards other members
of the house the speaker had n not sn eered
at them and ridiculed them he had come
near doing so. He said the speaker seemed
to treat with contempt all who had not
worked for his election as presiding officer of
the kouse. He was COntinuously interrupted
by applause on the democratic side and
several members on his own side, some from
Iowa, appeared pleased TO hear him speak
out He received congratulations from both
republicans and democrats and it was some
time after he had concluded that order was
restored in the house,
OXNARD on SUGAR
Mr.. Henry II. 0xnard of Grand Island the
we'll known beet sugar developer said to,rIE
BEE CORES spondent today: II found things
IN chaotic state upon my arrival here the
other day as far as the tariff Is concerned,
and principally owing 10 the new phase put
upon the question by the attitude taken by
the administration, as expressed in Mr..
Blaine's request that the duty he left on
sugar until the government has had nm oppor-
tunity to trade free sugar for something tangi-
ble in return. / do not believe that con-
gress can very well ignore the request
and the result will be something looking
