PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
The Tariff and Silver to Make Matters
Lively This Week.a~e~r---

WASHINGTON Cry, Feb. 2s.-The pro-
ceedings in congress during the present
week promise to be of more than usual
interest. 1t is expected that the silver
bill and the tariff will figure in one or both
houses.
The Senate will resume consideration of
the Idaho election case tomorrow.
Mr.. Call has given notice that he will
interrupt the regular order Tuesday to
deliver remarks upon the resolution pro-
vlding for ali inquiry into the alleged
interference of railroad companies in the
Florida senatorial elections.
1t is understood that the exponents of
protection and tariff reform theories in
tend to address the Senate during the
week on reciprocity.
The illness of Mr.. Springer may pos
sibly result in the postponement of the
tariff discussion booked for Tuesday in the
House, with the wool bill as the special
measure under consideration.
An informal agreement will be reached
by the majority of the committee on rules
to report on a resolution tomorrow asking
that the Bland silver bill be special
order for the latter part of March.

The Reform Prophets to Appeal
to Popular Conscience.
MUCH PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER.
General Weaver Likely to Head the
Ticket of the Peoples Party.
Ignatfus Donnelly Dark Horse
Powderiy One of the Possibilities-
Polk to Run as Vice President -
Fight All Along the Line.

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 2S.-The echo
of the St. Louis convention had scarcely
died away ere the rank and file of the in
dustrial organizations had begun to dis
cuss possible presidential candidates of
the national Peoples party. General
James b. Weaver, of Iowa; l.. L. Polk, of
North Carolina; Ignatius Donnelly, of
Minnesota; Senator Leland Stanford, of
California; T. V. Powderly. grand master
workman of the knights Of Labor, and
Anson Streetor, of Illinois, ere being dis
cussed as possible presidential or vice
presidential candidates.
In an interview on the subject Repre-
sentative Simpson said tonight:
In my opinion General Weaver will most
likely be the Peoples party candidate for the
presidency. He is the man most desired in that
connection. but would not be surprised if a
sentiment in favor of Donnelly assumed formd-
able proportions, for a matter of fact do not
think Weaver cares for the nomination. Ithink
there is 10 question but that Polk will be can
didate for vice president
Representative Watson, of Georgia, who
did not attend the St. Louis convention,
is earnest in approval of all that was done
by it. Said he:
The result of the convention is the best reve-
Our people, representing almost score OF differ
ent industrial and reform organizations, met
and agreed upon platform and declaration of
principles agreeable to all, upon which a fight
Will be conducted AL along the line and in every
state in the Union in the coming campaign. l
regard the platform as very strong presenta-
Iion of substantially the same principle
which has called these various organizations
into existence and on which We have been
educating the people for the last four or
five years, and it will now command the full
support OF the industrial organizations of all
classes. The Omaha convention next July will
put into official party shape that which was
agreed upon at st. Louis. AS to who the candi-
dates of the Peoples party will be, really can
not say, but think the candidate for the pres
idency will be some man who has been well
identified with this great revolt against the ex-
listing state of affairs and has made sacrifices
for 1t. think it unnecessary hat such a man
should have barrel. We are not a party OF
boodlers or corruptionists. believe our strong
est plan of campaign would be to appeal
straight and frankly to the sense and conscience
of the people, and avoid as far possible the
machine methods OF the Doodle politicians
against whom we have raised the revolt.

BERLIN, Feb. 2s.-This afternoon tha

part with sight-seers and promenaders.
groups of rowdies and teughs being alb
sent. At $50 p. m. the situation was
greatly improved. The police nave COM
pleteiy regained the upper hand Largs
crowds congregated before the imperial
palace but there was little difficulty in
keeping them in motion. A strong de-
tachment of mounted police patroled tho
disturbed quarters. About 100 arrests
were made today. During the changing of
the guard at the imperial castle, the draw
bridge connecting Inter den Linden with
the castle gardens was closed to traffic till
the soldiers had passed. A similar spirit
of precaution was observable regarding
the appearance of the soldiers in many of
the main arteries of traffic leading from
the center to the suburbs of the city.
The emperor, accompanied by men,
bers of his family, took their usual drive
in the Thiergarten today. He was heartily
cheered by the populace all along the
route. 1t is matter of common remark
that during the recent disturbance the
emperor and all members Of the imperial
family always met loyal reception when
ever they appeared i'll public. The troops.
too, have been warmly applauded by the
populace. This, it is said. proves con-
clusively that the late troubles have not
had their origin in personal hatred of the
emperor, and even the disorderly portion
of the people have had no animus against
the army. Ioriraerts, organ of the Social
lists, repeats its appeal to the members to
preserve order. Socialist members of the
municipal council of Berlin have made q
proposition that the city government be-
gin various public works for the purpose
of giving employment to thousands now
out of work. The president of the police
department expresses the opinion that the
disorders are now ended

INDIANAPoLIs, Feb. 2S.-The city today
was quiet. There was no appreclable diff

week ago. The events of Saturday, of
course, were uppermost in the public's
mind, but the mayors proclamation and
the swearing in of 250 men for special po-

had much to do with restoring confidence.
Some apprehension was felt as to the
outcome when the running of street cars

Has Lost Respect.

Referring to The Alert's charge that
the public instructors Office has been ex-
travagantly conducted, the Grand Forks
Herald says:
"The department of instruction has
lost the respect of many of the leading
educators of the state from it's disagreea-
BILE habit of persistently flooding
teachers, county superintendent and
others with needless, useless, senseless
circulars, forms. guides,' ETC., just as
The Alert says. These are printed at
great expense at Bismarck, it is alleged,
in furtherance of a certain agreement
made by Deputy Cathro with a gentle
man not officially connected with the de-
partment, in consideration of which
agreement the deputy received his ap-
pointment, which had been promised to
two other persons, through the influence
of the certain Bismarck gentleman above
referred to, who worked the state ed
ucational association to that end in a
way despised by reputable professional
educators. Further particulars fur
nished on application"

state ticket provided it is the wish OF
the Stutsman county delegation
and the convention. Mr.. Fancher

he can. The county delegation has not
