Nebraska Prohibition Convention.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 4-The Prohibi-
ton state convention for the election OF
delegates to the national convention, con-
Guided its session this evening. Interest
conferred mainly in the selection of a chair
man of the delegation, and some bitterness
was provoked on account of the alleged
effort of TT cent converts to overthrow the
plans of the old workers. The platform
adopted renews adherence to The cause OF
prohibition; declares the right of citizens
of the United States TO vote should not be
denied or abridged by the United States or
any state on account Of sex; the govern
menU should own and operate the railroads,
teegraphs and telephones Of the nation;
the money of the country should be issued
by the general government only, and IN
sufficient quantity to meet the demands of
business, and give full opportunity for tue
employment of labor, and to tdls end an In
crease in the volume OF money IS
demanded; no individual or corporation
should be allowed to make any profit
through Issuing it; it should be made legal
tender for all debts, the volume be fixed
at a definite sum per capita and made TO in
crease with the increase of population.
The government should reclaim all un-
claimed and forfeited land grants to rail
WAYS or other corporations and SUCH lands,
together with the remaining portion OF the
public domain, should DE reserved for
actual settlers. Trusts should be pro-
hibited Just service pension Is recon-
mended: the election OF Senators, Presi-
dent and Vice-President by direct vote of
the people, opposition is declared to all
manner of compromise or so-called non
partisan action, to which the question OF
| the suppression of the liquor traffic is made
| secondary matter.

United States without regard to the ma
terial of which 1t is composed, sufficient
amount of such money to be prepared by
the secretary of the treasury.
The Vice-President laid before the SEN
ate a communication from the secretary of
the interior in relation to the Yosemite
park in California. Referred to the COM
mittee on public lands.
The pure food bill was taken up. Vest
stated at length his position in regard to it,
and such legislation IN general. The pend
ing measure was one of that brood OF bills
that grew out of the feeling of paternalism
which was spreading over the country. He
believed the cons titution intended the in
sDectlon and quarantine laws should be in
the hands of the states. The people of the
United States were being taught instead
OF going to their state authorities, to go to
Congress for everything, from million
acres of land to a paper of pins. rhe
states were slowly having their constltu-
t1onal power taken away and that power
being vested in Congress to-day was IN
tended by the trainers OF the constitution
to be left to the states exclusively.
Paddock denied the statement made some
days ago, that the bill was aimed particu-
larly at the cotton oil interests. He denied
that anyone could point out one provision
or word in the bill that discrim' mated
against any honest brand and article oil
food in favor of another. AS to any eX
travagant criticism of the bill would be
used for imaginary political purposes, il
was serious matter he said, to charge
even indirectly that those engaged in thS
formation of the bill ana the great body o.
people who demanded its passage were
moved chiefly by desire to inaugurate 1
cheap. nasty political scheme for partisan
uses.
After the delivery of euloQies on the lat
Representative Lee, the Senate adjourned

THE SEAL FISHERIES
Salisbury Declines to Renew the
MOdus Vivendi.
His Propositions for q Thirty-Mile Limit
From PribylOff IsIand-FimaI Session
OF the Joint Commission.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The fact de-
veloped to-day the authorities have re-
ceived notice Lord Salisbury is unwilling,
while arbitration proceedings in the Behr-
ing sea dispute are pending, TO renew the
modus vivendi OF last year. He is said to
be willing, however, to take the necessary
steps for putting stop during the ap-
preaching season to miscellaneous deep sea
seal fishing within thirty miles of Priby-
loft islands. 1t is impossible to learn of the
state department the precise nature of the
substitute proposed by Lord Salisbury
1t is likely the treaty OF arbitration will
be submitted 10 the Senate early next
week, possibly Monday.
1t is probable this information received
from London caused President Harrison to
shorten his stay at Virginia b each, and he
will return TO Washington Saturday in
stead of Monday, as he contemplated.
The course of the negotiations now in
progress between the United States and
Great Britain, touching the seal fisheries
in Behring sea is being closely watched by
mem bers of the committees of the Senate
and House. The report from London to
the effect that Lord Salisbury refused 10
renew the modus vivendi was received
with dissatisfaction. 1t is realized the ar
bitration provided for in the treaty about
to be submitted to the Senate cannot be
completed in time to avail for the protec
| ton of the seal waters and the counter
proposition made by Lord Salisbury look
ing to the establishment of a protected
belt extending only thirty miles from the
shores of Prebyloff islands, is looked upor
as being entirely inadequate to meet the
case. Members of the congressional com.
mittee do not disguise their belief il
private that unless the British government
shows dispersion to join in the work O.
now protecting the waters of Behring Sc;
from poachers during the progress Of
arbitration the United States government
must undertake the task and execute thu
law which has not been repealed, requir
ing 1t to protect the seal fisheries. If thi
course is followed, the situation will as
sumo phase very similar to that proceed
ing the re-adoption of the modus vivend
last year, and the government will resum
the policy of seizure of offending vessels
which may lead to energetic protests an
perhaps retaliatory action by Grea
Britain.

cans
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, March Am important
conference of Republican leaders was held
at the Fifth Avenue hotel last night. The
meeting was held in Senator Hiscock's
parlors and its ostensible object was to ar
range slate for delegates at-large from
this state to the Minneapolis convention.
Among those on the inside, however, the
gathering was recognized as move on the
part of the Harrison administration TO cap
ture the Republican machine in tue En-
piIe state. Mr.. Hiscock received The
credit of having got up the conference.
Some of those present in his room were
Secretary of the Navy b. f. Tracy, Thomas

General George H. Sharpe, Colonel George
Bliss, General James w. Hustled, and

Harrison" said one OF the men who
participated in the conference, evidently
is badly frightened about New York. At
first he was inclined to stand on his high
horse regarding this state. Let New
York come to me- is what he has given US
to understand. But that was when he
thought he could be nominated without the
support of this state. l cannot say what
has come over him, what has suddenly oc-
Cured TO him that he needs the seventy
two votes from this state, if he expects 70

has crawled down from his high position
and sent Tracy and HIscock here to make
terms if at any rate possible, and at any
rot n hest that he done

be reelected and frankly says So" A
majority of the gentlemen present at las

IDAHO DEMOCRATS
Preparing for the Meeting Of the
State Committee in Boise.
Held-The Chances for Democratic Sue
cess in Bingham County Good.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, March A. Especial
telegram to The HERALD. Members of
the state Democratic committee are arriv-
ing in the city for the meeting of the COM
mittee tomorrow. Quite number of
south Idaho members arrived to-day, and
members from the north will be in on to-
nights train. Frank Bean, of Bingham
county, member of the state committee,
says the outlook in Bingham for Demo
cratic success this year is so per cent.
better than it has ever been before. He
said that the Republican officers of the
county were in such bad odor with the
people that change was almost certain,
and thai the Democrats stood a good
chance. He referred to the action of the
Republican county committee at the re-
cent meeting in which they censured the
Republican board of county commissioners
in severe terms. Mr.. Bean is hard work
ing member OF his party and Is thoroughly
posted on all pubic affairs.
Colonel Jones, of the Black Foot NelUs, is
here to attend the meeting of the state
committee. Speaking of the senatorial con-
flict, IN which Clagett figured in such an
unenviable light, he SAID that the Demo
Gratis o. the Idaho legislature made gross
mistake in voting for Clagett He had ad-
! vised them not to do SO, but to aid in bring.
ing on fight between Clagett and Dubois
to breed contention among the Republic
ans, and then to withdraw and have moth
ing TO do with 1t. This, he said, would
have been good politics. Colonel Jones
further said that if Republican must be q
| Senator, his choice, together with that of
majority of Bingham county Democrats
was Dubois.
A question that is being quietly discussed
among members is where the state con
ventions are to be held. 1t is certain tina
one will go into north Idaho, probably Il
Moscow. The fight as to the othe
convention lays between Pocatell
and Boise, with the odds in favo
of Pocatello. w. S. Hopson, Thomas
Ferret, Joseph Bremm and James O'Maly
of Pocatello were appointed by the Demo
cratic club of that place TO come to tn

money merely for the purpose of aggravat-
