NO question, however, regarding Nelson's
election; even the Democratic state CEN

whole state ticket is probably elected.
From the figures received ut .h%eadquar-
tiers last night Nelson has a plurality of
1884, and this, the committee expects,
will be increased to at least $1,000. Nell
sons vote will be close on to 100, 1000, and
LAWYERS about 100000. Donnelly may
receive as high as $4,000. The fusion
electoral vote. however, will not come
within many thousands of the sum of the

DYING OR CRAZED.
Well Men In the Lumber Camps Caring
for Sick Comrades.

LoCKPoRT, n. Y, January 22.-Stories
of tie terrible suffering and pitiable con-
dition of the lumbermen in the lumber
camps of the Georgian Bay and back
Canada woods districts from the ravages
of the grippe have been received here
and are vouched for by lumber and wood
pulp agents who have recently been up
there. L. NJ. Proctor of Ogdensburg,
N. Y, has just arrived from Georgian
Bay. He says that in a lumber camp OF
the Emery Lumber Company of Chica-
go, 10 men out of $50 had died of grippe,
and that half of the remainder were
sick, the balance taking care of them.
Other camps are similarly affected.
The suffering of the men is indescriba-
BILE. Some of them are reported to have
gone crazy, it taking two or three men
to control them The accommodations
are meagre, and it is no fit place for
sick men, the lodging houses being log
cabins or shanties. Medical aid, except
of the crudest kind, is hard to secure,
and the men simply suffer and get well
or die. Some camps are completely de-
serted, and many of the men taken sick
are left without care.
Agents for wood pulp syndicates have
returned and report the back Canada
woods districts in similar condition.
The lumber men are scared at the scourge,
as they call it, and flee for the large
towns or cities, where they can secure
medical aid. In. this way the numbering
interests are greatly suffering. Many
camps are totally deserted, with the ex-
ception of the sick and few noble fell
lows who are staying to look after their
comrades. The deaths have been nu-
merous. The burials take place in the
woods, under the snow, where many a
man whose family knows not where he is
will lie sleeping forever.

THU CHAIRS Mind.
A Parliamentary Point Raised by MI.
Reed in the House.
THE DOUGHTY TEXAN WILL WAGE
WAR ON TARIFF BILLS.

He Reserves the Right To Offer Such
Amendments as He Sees Fit and Has
Taken the Difficult Task of Making the
Majority Live Up to It's Promises-Mr.
Reed Raises a Question of Recognition.
WASHINGTON, January pa little
episode occurred in the House yesterday
which has created discussion and laugh
ter among the members. Mr.. Davis, of
Kansas, was recognized and asked for
the present consideration of joint reso-
luton authorizing the President to ap-
point commission eff three persons to
investigate the recent explosion in the
mines at Krebs, I. T. While the resolu-
ton was being read the Speaker pro tenn
said that the Chair had recognized the
grntleman, believing that he wished to
introduce a bill for reference. The
Speaker pro tenn inquired whether there
was objection to the immediate consider
alton of the resolution. Mr.. Bynum, of
Indiana, objected
Mr. Dingley of Maine inquired wheth-
er, under the previous ruling OF the
Chair in the case of the Holman resolr-
ton, one objection was sufficient to pre-
vent it's immediate consideration.
The Speaker pro TEN. said that he had
recognized the gentleman from Kansas
to introduce bill for reference.
Mr.. Reed of Maine inquired whether
the Chair ruled that, it being disclosed
that the resolution was intended for ac-
ton, the Chair could retract his recogni-
ton.
The Speaker pro tenn. said that the
present occupant of the chair had seen
former occupants Withdraw recognitions
that had been given, with the statement
that the recognition had been obtained by
mistake.
Mr. Reed-Had it the approval of Che
present occupant?
The Speake pro tem thought that no
member could get recognition by mislead-
ing the chair.
Mir Davis being willing the bill was
finally referred, however.

SHE DEFENDED A MURDERER.
The sheriff's Daughter Held the Jail and
Cowed a Mob.

WILLEsToN, Neb., January %. - A
bloodthirsty mob was cowed here the
other evening by the bravery of a girl.
In the jail is man who was caught
numbering traveller for money, and
the people decided that they could not
wait until the law had run it's course, and
determined to take the matter in their
own hands and lynch the fellow. The
sheriff received warning of the intended
lynching, and collectingfo deputies an
nounced his determination to guard the
Jail at all hazards.
At u o'clock at night a summons came
for him to open the doors and give up
the prisoner, OF the jail would be burned
down As the structure is wooden, this
would have been an easy matter, and the
sheriff decided that he had better sue
cumb to the mob than endanger the lives
of the other inmates. He accordingly
made the announcement to his deputies
and sent one to inform the leader of the
mob that he could have the prisoner.
During the parley the sheriff and all his
deputies went outside of the jail, when
suddenly the door was slammed and bolt
ed.
A girl about IL years Old appeared at
one of the upper windows, and told the
astonished crowd that they could not
have the man. She was Susan Dorder,
she was not afraid Of the mob, and
would shoot the first man who attempted
to approach the place to set it on fire.
She would not let her father back into
the house, and told them they could not
accomplish anything by remaining. The
mob talked little, and then, cheering
the plucky girl, left, telling her that they
would not harm the murderer as he had
such brave defender.

MAY NOT ARBITRATE.
Possibility of Settling the Behring Sea

Matter Otherwise.
WASHINGTON, January 22.--The Behr-
ing Sea difficulty may, after all, be set
tied without resorting to arbitration.
This, at least, is what is now hoped for,
and what both the Department of State
and the British Foreign Office expect to
accomplish. The selection of a board of
arbitration satisfactory to each of the
contending parties was task attended
with various and peculiar difficulties.
1t is now belived that shorter and
much more practical way out of the pres.
cut difficulty would be an agreement on
the part of the experts sent by the United
States and Great Britain to the Behring
Sea, last year, upon a report to be sub
mitted to each of their respective govern
ments, recommending a close season and
the best methods for enforcing the same.
This would leave the question of jurisdic-
diction in Behring Sea unsettled, but as
there would be. no practical issue in
volved, it might remain unsettled indefi-
nitely.

SMASHING AN ALlBl.
HaverhiI People Do Not Remember See
ing Young Brown There.

HAvERHILL, Mass, January %. = A
dispatch sent from here last night con-
cerning the presence of Brown, the man
accused of the murder of David Sanborn,
of Salisbury, in this city on the day of
the murder, cannot be found to have the
slightest foundation. No livery man
here, with one exception, can be found
who remembers having seen such team
as that which Brown drove on that day,
or having ever seen the man at all. BIG.
Kimball, of the Eagle House stable, states
that man answering Browns descrip-
ton, drove up with young lady on the
Sunday previous and had team put up.
District Attorney Moody said that he
had spent the afternoon tracing up the
story in regard to Browns presence here
on the day Of the murder and had found
it false.

Mayor Jones Asks Questions.


WATERvILLE, January 22.-The latest
in the registration muddle is a letter from
Mayor Jones to the Mail in which the
mayor attempts to confound the Repub-
licans by propounding these questions:
''First-Do you think NIr. Plaisted
would refuse to give our people chance
to vote if the other members of the
board were of his political belief?''
'Second-Did Senator Haines state the
Republican position correctly when lie
said in the Lewiston Journal interview
that the Republicans here did not want
any election this syringe"
The Mayor also wants to be informed
what provision of the bill gives him au-
thority to again appoint after an ap-
pointee has refused to act. AS the letter
does not deal with the real point at issue,
it adds nothing of value to either side OF
the case.

Especial to the Press.l

WASHINGTON, January 22.-The Chill
ian situation still remains serious and
practically without change. At the
meeting of the Cabinet, today, the affair
was discussed and it was decided to send
a despatch to Minister Egan instructing
him to inform the Chilian Cabinet that
unless something of a definite nature
was received by next Monday the cores
pondence would on that day go to Con
gress. This, it should be understood, is
not an ultimatum. 1t is simply a last
note of warning. If the Chilians do not
heed it and allow the correspondence to
be sent in on Monday it will then be for
Congress to determine whether an ulti-
matum to be followed by declaration
of war, if our demands are not complied
with, shall be sent Ne dispatches have
been received from Minister Egan today
and it is feared by the friends of peace
that Chill does not intend to make apol
ogies. 1t is confidently believed that
Monday will end the suspense, and on
that day the country will know whether
it is to be peace OF war.
