WASHINGTON, April DIT is seldom
a contested election case cngrOsses the
attention of the house, but the Noyes-
Rockwell case did so today. There was
thought to be concealed behind the
legal question a democratic nomination
for the presidency. Was it to be Hill, or
was it to be Cleveland or was it to be
the much spoken of western man? The
vote in the house today, it is said, indi-
Gates that the west may come to the
front. Fellows made a fine argument in
favor Of Rockwell and was followed by
Cochran with a brief speech similar to
those addresses for which he is famous.
Neither one of these gentlemen referred
to the p~olitica. imbroglio except by in
nuendo, but O'Farral Of Virginia, took
the bull by the horns. lie announced
himsalf as a stalwart Cleveland man.
Cleveland, in his opinion, was a lion,
while Hill was a fox. At the conclusion
of OFarral's speech the previous ques-
ton was ordered without division.
The question required on the resOlu-
tons of the minority as a substitute for
the resolution of the majority. A separ-
ate vote being demanded, first the vote
was taken On the resolution of the min

NOyes was not elected. This was car

the democratic side. Thirty. me demo-

publican ranks. Then came the vote on
the second substitute resolution declar-
ing Rockwell entitled to the seat. This
was agreed to yeas 1913, nays log. Then
Bryan Of Nebraska came forward with a
motion to re-cOmmit with instructions

ST. PAUL, April 23.-A special to the
Pioneer Press from Grand Forks, N. d.,
says: 1t has been discovered that the
state legislature made no provision what
ever for the election Of presidential
electors, although a bill passed requiring
them to meet at Bismarck on the second
Monday in January to cast the ballots.
1t is now too late of course, to provide
for the legal election at the polls unless
a special session of the legislature is
held. The regular session of the legisla-
ture meets the first Tuesday in January,
six days before the meeting of the elect
ors, but the legislature may have a demo-
cratic majority while the republicans
have a majority in the state or vice versa.
1t is suggested that a agreement be
made by the party leaders and the usual
form Of voting for electors gone through
in regular name with the understand
ing that the Legislature is to endorse the
action of the people by electing the
electors. The question is a serious M

WASHINGTON, April 22.-It is ascer
tanned from talks with members of con.
gress who attended, by invitation, the
meeting of the National Silver commit
tee last night that it was perfectly har.
monious and that the interest and de.
mand for silver Legislation by this con
gress shows no abatement. Indeed, the
hope was expressed hat the opportunity
would yet be afforded during the pres
ent session for some action by congress
on the Bland bill, or, if that is not posi-
BILE, on some other measure for the full
reconciliation of silver. The PROPOSE
ton for an international monetary on
ference to consider the silver question
received but little attention from per-
sons who addressed the meeting, and, in
fact, was only incidentally mentioned.
There is no confidence felt by free coin
age men in a favorable outcome of an in
ternatiOnal monetary conference, and the
proposition for a conference that would
not be allowed to consider free coinage
Of silver would, it is believed, be indig-
nantly rejected by free silver men.
There were d number of public men
other than those already mentioned at
the meeting last night, including Sena-
tors Stewart, Sanders, Powers, Daniel,
Shoup and Representative Bartine of

fixing tho amount of income tax which
they were required to pay. The charges
made a great scandal and actions for
libel were brought against Fusenagel

1t was proved that the charges were un-
founded and on June ~, 1891, they were
found guilty. Fushnagel was sentenced
to five months and Luneburg to two
months imprisonment. The expressions
then and afterwards used by Prince Bis

the basis for the present action.

Freight on Montana Wool.

CHICAGO, April CIT is more than
probable that the cut in wool rates an
nounced yesterday will be extended to
include shipments of that commodity
from Montana points. At present the
reductions apply only to compressed
wool from Colorado and Utah. The 500
is quoting d rate Of - cents per 1OC
pounds from st. Paul to Boston on sack
wool from Montana points. Chicago
lines have not attempted to meet this
because the rate from Montana points is
the same to Omaha that it is to st. Paul.
Consequently if western roads should on
their W responsibility make a D-cent
rate from the Mississippi river they
would be compelled to haul shipments
free from the Missouri river to the Mis-
sissippi. The only way in which the
500 line reduction can be met by way OF
Chicago is to prevail OF the Union Pa
cific to reduce it's rate from Montana
points to Omaha and the Union Pacific
officials are to be consulted with this
end in view. 1t is believed there will be
no difficulty in securing the cooperation
OF that road.

Buffalo Under Martial Law

BUFFALO, Wyo, April 22.-There are
about 80 armed men in town organized
as a home guard organization, being es.
tablished last Sunday. 1t includes 2Ot
men under command of Frank Smith Of
Powder river, divided into squads of ten
men each under the command of a SER
geant. The streets are patrolled by a
strong guard at night and all travellers
to and from town are inspected. Ru-
mors are current of other bands of in
vaders coming from Montana and else
where to aid the stOckmen. The out
posts Of the organization will seek to
give timely warning Of the approach Of
any such party. Fears are entertained
by many that the attempts of the stock
men will be renewed. A few citizens
here, suspected of having been favorable
to the stockmen, are in favor of violence
from the other party. The streets are
quiet but are full of men and business is
almost at a standstill. There is no ca
rousing, but men stand talking of any
thing new. Many absurd but dangerous
rumOrs are reported and more or less
believed. Sheriff Angus has turned the
prisoners in Jail over to Col. Van Horn.
Violence is not apprehended at present,
but if the rumored invasion should occur
or if some vicious rumOrs should gain
credence in the present state of excite

Blown Up.

PARIS, April -. The restaurant of M.
Very, who on March 30 delivered Raw
enhol, the anarchist, into the hands of
the police, was utterly wrecked at 4
o'clock tonight by a bomb explosion.
The force of the explosion was terrible
and widely felt and an enormous crowd
quickly gathered about the shattered
building. The police upon entering
found NJ. Very lying on the floor of the
restaurant in the midst of heaps of
debris grooming with fright and pain.
One of his legs had been broken and he
was sent to the hospital, where it has
been found necessary to amputate the
leg. The granddaughter of M. Very was
also injured and two ladies living in the
rooms over the restaurant were badly
shaken and bruised. Very's wife was
not injured, but she lost her senses
owing to the severity Of the shock she
suffered and is raving mad. At this
hour, 1870 p. m, firemen are clearing
away the ruins. Fortunately the dam
age done is almost entirely confined to
the building in which Very's restaurant
was located. A detachment of t'oOps is
hCCpiuS CiSdi luC oduNdy DclOTc lilc
ruined cafe.
1t is the general opinion that the ex-
plOsiOn was perpetrated mainly to ter
rOrize the jurymen who will be on duty
at RavenhOl's trial. The police have
the theory that the bomb was thrown
into the basement of the building
through the grating. The policeman
who was on duty just outside of the res
taurant when the explosion occurred
was thrown to the pavement by the
shock. He states that he saw nothing
suspicious. M. Leeze, perfect of police,
M. GOrOn, chief of the municipal police
and M. Raynard, secretary of the minis
try Of the interior, arrived on the scene
soon after the explosion. A quantity of
goods lying exposed in front of an adjoin-
ing shop was DESTROYED.
Three persons have been arrested on
suspicion Of being implicated in the
murderous affair. One Of them shouted
''vive ! anarchie" on being taken into
custody.
News Of the explosion quickly spread
throughout the city, creating consterna-
ton, especially on boulevards where
exaggerated reports Of the affair were
current. D~etachments Of police hurriedly
form a Gordon in Boulevard Magenta
on which, at a r OF Rue Lancen,
