Reached Fever Heat.

The house of representatives was in the
throes of political dissension for five hours
to-day, and partisan feeling reached fever
heat when Representative Jason Brown OF
Indiana denounced Senator Quay, Post
master-General Wanamaker and w. w.
Dudley for their efforts in car
rying the election in 1885 for the present
occupant OF the White House. The Craig
Stewart election case was the subject under
discussion, and although the contestant and
contestee are residents of the Twenty
foE~th Pennsylvania district the discus sion
assumed a wide scope and afforded partisans
OF both political faiths an opportunity TO
denounce their political antagonists 10 their
hearts content The majority of the COM
mittee found in favor of Contestant Craig
and the minority hold the sitting member,
Stewart, Republican IS entitled to retain
his seat. Brown of Indiana led the debate
in behalf of Contestant Craig and was
particularly severe in his indictments of
leading Republican politicians. After dis
cussion by Poynter of Kentucky, Powers
of Vermont, and Cobb of Alabama, in favor
of the contestant, and W. y. Stone of Penn
sylvania, and Waugh of Indiana in favor of
coutestee, the house without action ad-
journed.

son, Dallas attorney,.he said to GAZETTE
reporter to-day: Dallas city is undoubt-
eddy for Judge Clark for governor. As to
Just how the country precincts viii go Is
hard to say now. but l do not believe that
Governor Hogg will be able TO placate the
farmer element. and I am rather OF the
opinion that Dallas county as 4 whole viii
be for Hogg.''
What about the business man and farmer
ticket, majorln
a do not believe anything has or will
come Of that effort and the campaign will
settle down as between Judge Clark and
Governor Hogg."
The reporter heard report that a prom
inent Dallas business man would be can
didate for governor, but on following up
the report could trace it to no reliable
source.
The Republican primaries in all the wards
of Dallas and Oak Cliff and in the country
precincts. were held to-day at 2 p. m. for
the nomination of delegates to the state and
congressional conventions in conformity
with the call of the chairman Of the Repub-
ican county committee. in most of the
wards there will be contests for seats in
the conventions between the adherents of
the ms and the outs. In Oak Cliff the lines
were sharply drawn and the ms were Sc
verely knocked out. The anti-administra-
ton wing elected white delegates to the
county convention to be held Saturday. It
is thought this convention will instruct for
Judge Norton and j. c. Baker as delegates
to the Minneapolis convention.

In the absence of vice-President Morton,
tO-day's session of the senate was presided
over by Mr.. Henderson, president pro TEN

for by Mr.. Sherman's resolution yesterday,
was presented and referred to the commit

a Grand Army post in Illinois protests
against the free coinage of silver, and its
protest was presented by Mr.. Cullom, and
one in Colorado petitions for further pen
sion legislation, and its petition was pre-
scented by Mr.. Teller
After discussion the resolution giving
Claggett, contestant for Dubois seat, the
right TO OCCUPY seat in the senate during
the discussion and speak TO the merits OF
his right, was agreed to with an amend
ment limiting Claggett's time of speaking
to two hours
Mr.. Hale's resolution of January 10 call
ing on Secretary Tracy for copies of the
reciprocity agreement under the last tariff
act was then taken up, and Mr.. Vest moved
the following amendment: "And the sec
senate whether any steps have been
taken by authority to negotiate
a reciprocal treaty with Mexico
and if so what has been done and what the
results. Also that the secretary inform
the senate If negotiations have been lnau-
gurated for the purpose aforesaid, and II
they were unsuccessful what has been the
cause of the failure.
Vest addressed the senate in reply to
Hale's speech on the resolution.
Vest said the Democratic party had been
represented by Hale as being opposnd TO
the policy of reciprocity. Vest denied thp
assertion, and declared the Democratic
party was only opposed to sham re-
ciprocity. A reciprocity arrangement
farmer. No act Of congress could change
the memorable law of supply and demand
which prevented agricultural products from
going there. South America furnished no
market for the agricultural products of the
United States. Every man qualified to
vote knew the market for American
agricultural products was in Great Britain,
not in South America. Why stop with
South American sugar. Why exclude
shoddy clothing? Genuine reciprocity was
free trade.
Hale said he did not propose to be drawn
now into a general discussion of the merits
or weakness OF the Mckinley tariff bill.
What the Democratic party wanted and be-
lieved IN was simon-pure free trade. Hale
read a newspaper paragraph showing in
creased imports into Cuba of American
-four since the reciprocity arrangement
went into effect, and said the flour of old
Spain had been driven out of the market
Vest said the very fundamental doctrine
of the Democratic party was freer trade
and larger intercourse with the whole
world, and the increase which Hale men
toned of imports of American
-four into Cuba proved the Democratic
party was right, and when duties
were put down, exports were increased.
The tariff discussion closed with 10 action
on Hale's resolutions or Vests amendment.
The Idaho election case was then taken
up, and Vance argued in support of the
views of the minority to admit Claggett

The Indiana delegation in congress held
a meeting to-day, and the result was dis
couraging to the anJi-silver men. OPP
ponents of free silver have been looking to
Bynum of this delegation with considerable
rally to his support on any proposition
to postpone the vote on the free coinage bill
TIL the next session. 1t is stated after the
silver bill had been debated week or more
Bynum would move a postponement of
further discussion. These reports, how
ever, cannot be verified, for Bynum sale to-
day he would 90 with the state conference.
At the conference this afternoon it was
ascertained that the majority of Indiana
Democrats in congress are free coinage

but, nevertheless, all present agreed to act
as unit on the question and vote against
postponenent of the free coinage bill, and
in favor of its passage.

Miss willard Talks

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 25.-After the re-
markable attempt TO lasso the st. Louis
cyclone convention of Farmers Alliance
and Peoples party, Miss Frances Willard,
president of the National Women's Chris
tian Temperance union, had a very eX-
pressive look in her eyes when she arrived
in Chicago tonight. what will the prohi-
bitiouists do now2" she repeated, when the
query was put to her. adding quickly but
with deliberate emphasis and decision,
you may put just this down as what I
think they will do: On the Goth
of June in St Louis will be
held 4 national convention Of the pro-
hibition party, delegates to which will be
from every state and territory in the Union,
and that convention will hew out a plat
form, heart of oak in every
plank, sound on economic princi-
pies, treating of government
ownership of all highways and means of
communications; also monetary reform,
ownership Of land, prohibition and woman
suffrage. Candidates viii be chosen
for president and vice-presldent, and
we will have the spectacle presented
of two tickets in the field among
the divided reform forces who seek the peo-
ple's good. Prohibitionists," said Miss
Willard, would have been willing and glad
TO meet the Peoples party half way, and
the method we had in view was this:
First, that the ST. Louis national
industrial conference would put into its
platform a woman suffrage plank and
plank for the suppression of the liquor
traffic We had good reason to expect this
would be done. believe that with less gerry
wandering in the convention suffrage would
have carried in the platform oy large ma
1ority. Had the leaders, too, strongly in
their speeches in the convention been as
favorable TO the liquor suppression plank
as they were at the Chicago conference,

Upon conclusion of the meeting a process

Inter den Linden singing the ''Mar-

the castle of the emperor it was met by a
body of soldiers. The officer in compand

The police then charged the crowd and a

Louisiana Politics.

Special to the Gazette.
SHREVEPORT, LA Feb. 25.-The political
cauldron in North Louisiana has COM
menced to boil. Tonight there was
goodly outpouring OF the ''antis" and a
large and enthusiastic Foster club was
formed. Speeches were made by local or
ators, and it was resolved to enter actively
upon the campaign.
On next Saturday nearly all the McEnery
state ticket will arrive here, where they
will address meeting of their supporters,
erstwhile ''pros" Justice McEnery, for
the nonce, will forsake his duties as a
member of the supreme court and enter into
the fight.
On Saturday also the Leonard wing of
the Republican party will hold mass
meeting and open their campaign. Their
speakers have not yet been announced, but
will be ''big guns.''
The Warmoth wing of the Republican
party will hold a Republican meeting
shortly, and also open their campaign.
The Peoples party has notyet announced
a date for its opening, but it will likely
commence in a few days. The voting
strength of the Peoples party in Caddo
parish is about ten-of these five are of one
family
While the Democratic factions have ap-
parently harmonized and are now before
the people for them to decide their prefer
ence by popular majority, the fight between
them from now until March %, when the
primaries will be held, promises to be more
bitter, if possible, than it was when the
lottery was the issue. 1t is nova fight for
offices, and the defeated leaders will have
10 eat the rankest kind of crow. The Nc
Eneryites call the Fosterites "boltersI and
Foster himself "a ballot box suffer- while
the F'osterites retaliate by calling the Nc
Eneryites 'lotteryites, " and say that Nc
Emery is running on platform to increase
taxes, and prove it by his letter of accept
ance. The Fosterites also quote, with tell
ing effect. two sentences regarding the
Louisiana lottery. The first is from Nc
Enery-''a financial proposition" and the
second is from the supreme court of the
United States-''a national nuisance"
This is pretty rough on McEnery, consider
ing the fact that he is a justice of the
supreme court of Louisiana.

Galveston at $40 and pulled up on the main
line TO back in on sidetrack No. l Hanna
and Seller got on the platform of the

backed in rather fast, on account of the
heavy grade and was going on the side
track at the lower end OF the yard, where
several loaded cars were standing. The
trainmen, as supposed, did not know the
cars were there until the sudden collision
of the caboose against the stationary cars.

Allison in the Field.

DUBUQUE, Iowa. Feb. 25.-The Iowa dele
CATION viii go to Minneapolis instructed for
Allison
This is inferred fromthe admitted fact that
the Iowa senator can have the delegation
for the asking, and from the further fact
that the mission of Ex-Governor Gear of
Burlington TO Dubuque this week. as it has
leaked out, was made by him, the occasion
for interviewing Allison's intimate friends
here.
When Gear left'Dubuque it was with the
understanding that the Allison boom would
be formally launched at the state conven-
ton, March IL Gear said he determined
upon this the minute he read Blaine's with
drawal. He managed Allison's canvass at
Chicago four years ago.
The basis of Allison's candidacy is that
he is the only Republican who can be
trusted to carry Iowa, especially against

New ORLEANS, LA, Feb. 25.-Atwood
Violet & Co. say.
Futures-To-day has been one of the
dullest A decline of points at the open
ing is reduced to 3 at the close. Liverpool
closes 1854 to 1854 lower, with spot sales of
5000 bales at lid lower and weak. The
great pressure is there, the market
on this side holds very well, all things con-
sidered; but, as we said yesterday, the
market requires a stimulaut, aud those
who are now long will require, in order
to realize higher prices, either new
buying or active covering by the
shorts There may be some little
improvement tomorrow in Liverpool ow-
ing to comparative steadlness in New Or
leans and New York to-day, but its perma-
nency will depend upon the influences to
which we have referred.
Port receipts to-day are $4,000 bales
against Il, 600 bales last year. Receipts here
tomorrow estimated at COCO bales against
%, 600 at all ports last year The greater
part of the short interest is now
represented by actual cotton while the
long interest is almost entirely speculative.
The balance is represented by purchases of
exporters against their sales to spinners
and therefore is not speculative.
This was tender day on March in New
York, but either notices were not free or
else they were stopped by those who issued
them or by others.
Tomorrow viii be notice day. The weak
ness that is developing here is in actual
cotton because of the slack demand owing,
as usual at the end of every month, to the
withdra val of buyers, as nearly all of
their February shipments have been
covered.
Spots closed easy. Sales, $3.50 bales
Quotations 1-16c lower.

be TO have had the national committees of
