In round numbers nearly $1,000 pounds OF
shrimps were sent from San Francisco har-
Dor to China on the last steamer. Every
steamer does not carry that amount OF
shrimps, though some carry more. On the
% China steamers that sail from this port
every year, It is safe TO estimate that not
less than 100000 pounds of dried shrimps
are exported By MOugOlians.
At the rate Of SO ter 100 pounds, the ay-
erage price paid for dried shrimDs at whole
sale in Hong Kong, the total yearly drain in
money value amounts to $4,000.
And these figures are for shrimps alone.
The quantity Of small dried fish shipped
Annually to China is hard to get at, since
the entire business is conducted with the
utmost secrecy.
The Rio de Janeiro carried aboutone-half
the amount Of dried fish that she did OF
shrimps, and a similar ratio for all the
steamers Is very low estimate.

Ell. PAso, Tex, Dec. S.-The South
west silver convention today adopted a
resolution providing for the organiZa

ficers: President A. G. Fisk, Colorado;

meeting of the convention at Silver
City, July next The secretary was

BUTTE. Mont, Dec. S.-William and

the first degree. For some days there
has been much excitement in Walker
Vile, near Butte, over the apparent at
tempts of Mrs. William Pushman, Of
that city, to kill her two weeks old
baby. The child was found to have
been fed on pins. According to the tes-
timony of neighborS. the mother seemed
to nave conceived hatred for the child
from its birth, and abused it shame
fully. The infant died Tuesday.
An autopsy was held this morning
The infants left arm was found to be
broken and the skull had been fractured
by heavy blow OH the left side of the
head. Physicians said that this blow
had been administered since birth.
There were signs in the abdomen of
protracted starvation. A number of pins
passed the infant the last three days of
It's life. ITOnight the COroner's jury
brought in verdict that the child came
to its death through cruelty at the
hands of William and Mary Pushman.
The parents of the infant were, there
fore, locked up on a charge Of murder

CONGRESS HAS POWER
To Change the Time of Its Meet
ing


ing.
WASHINGTON. Dec. SIT is not i'm
probable that caucus Of the Demo
cratic members of the house will be
called upon to consider the proposition
embodied in bills now before the house
for the change of the date of meeting of
congress from the first Monday in De-
cember to the first Monday after the
fourth day of March each year. The
matter is receiving the serious attention
of some of the Democratic members Of
the judiciary committee, and today,
after the regular meeting, an informal
conference was held by them, at which
tile subject was considered. 1t is un-
derstood that the opinion was expressed
that, although the proposed change
might be valuable one, yet 1t was
we'll to be cautious and conservative in
taking such step. The suggestion
was also made that it might be desira-
bic to obtain the opinion of the Demo-
Gratis generally by holding caucus.
The suggestion, however, has not yet
taken practical form. If such change
as that proposed should be made TO ap-
ply to the Fifty third congress just
elected, the object aimed at by the ad-
vocateS of special session OF the new
congress would be practically attained.
There is popular impression that
change in the date of the meeting of
congress would have to be sanctioned
by conventions of the several states, as
in the case of the amendments to the
constitution. This impression is not
well founded, however, as the cOnstl-
tuition gives congress authority to
change its time Of meeting.

DETERMINED PoPULIsTs.
They Will Organize the Kansas
House at All Hazards.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. S.-A conference
of members of the Peoples party was
held here today. Those present in
cluded the new state officers, the state
central committee, candidates for
senator and aspirants for appoint
ments under Gov. Lewclling. A plan
was agreed upon to organize the lower
house of the legislature by revolution
ary methods. AS it stands the Repub-
licans have siXty-three members, or one
majority. The scheme advocated by
the leaders of the Peoples party
is to have the new secre-
tary of state to allow no one to enter the
hall but Peoples party members, and to
station guards and officers, resorting to
the state militia, if necessary, to pre-
vent the Republicans gaining admission
OH the day when the legislature meets.
Lawyers have been consulted and to-
day Judge Weber. Populist, declared
his party would organize the house at
all hazards. Gov.-Elect Lewelling de-
MED that the conference discussed such
means for the control of the legislature.
Leaders declare they will
organize the house and that a senator
would be elected. The new state Off
GERS will be inaugurated Jan. 10, and
the following day the legislature will
meet so that the entire state govern
ment will be In the hands of the Topu
lists. 1t is said the new

WASHINGTON. Dec. S.-The census

General Miller has made report to

recently, the duty imposed upon
the court of trying claims for Indian
depredations. such claims already filed
being over 5000 in number and aggre-
eating over 33,000,000 are very sug-
geStiye of the growing work OF the de-
partment.

GLENCOE, Mimi. Dec. 6.-A painful

painful one. The mangled limbs bed
profusely, and pieces of flesh and bone
adhered to the frosty rails. He was i'm

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.--The Herald to-
day demands that the new United
States senator for this state, soon to be
elected by the legislature, shall be ''some
gentleman who has made himself part
of New York city; who has fought for
its welfare, who has shown The quality
of his Democracy by his public acts and
the mettle OF his integrity by an uln-
blemlShed record"
The editorial proceeds to say: "lt is
easy to find such man-ScoreS Of them,
in fact. We are not invidious, however,
in naming Charles A. Dana as in all re-
spects entitled to the honor of the posi-
ton. When the Herald proposed bis
Gov. Hill. was reported as say
ing that if we had spoken sooner
he would have done all he could to
bring about the desired result, but that
we were too late in making the nomina-
ton. Senator Hill has now an oppor-
tunity to recoup himself. If he chances
to throw his influence for the election
of Mr.. Dana, the neStOr of the Amer
lean press, he will not only secure for
himself the ablest colleague in sight,
but will help to put the right man in the
right place. If we set Mr.. Daha's rip
ened craftsmanship, his practical and
profound knowledge of national ques-
tions, against the political wileS and
wire pulling of Mr.. Murphy, hesitation
would seem TO be impossible.
Mr.. Dana is not only New Yorker
in all his interests, but he did more
than Mr.. Hill did in the last campaign
to win the battle for the Democratic
party. If rewards are to he distributed,
why select Murphy, who was energetic
ally opposed to the successful candi-
date, rather than Dana. who threw his
whole strength in the fight, land deserves
the recognition which his honor implies.
And if a man of brains is to be our
choice, why hit upon pigmy when a
giant is near at hand? Tammany and
Hill. if they are wise and if their pro-
fessions of service to the people are gem
uine, will send MIR. Murphy to the rear
and bring the name of Charles A. Dana

The interests of the striking operators
at this point are in the hands of K. b.

from advces received by him covering
all points in this territory he was

out East and West from Kansas City to

railroad company have induced the
train dispatchers to remain at their
posts.

works. There are, including agents and
operators, about fifteen on the Leaven-
ported to belong to the. order He re-
sponded to the order to strike promptly.
At Omaha the Rock Island has but
one operator and he refused to quit
work when the order came There are
five operators between South Omaha
and Lincoln, Neb., but it is not known
whether they quit or not. The
ticket agent here says not.
A dispatch from the Lincoln
says they did. The division between
Horton, Kan, and Nelson, Neb., is lG3
miles. On this division are employed
twenty-three operators. Only nine of
these went out, and at least three of
these will return tonight. The company,
however had eight operators in readi-
ness to take their places. Notwthstand-
ing the desertions, the Rock
island is badly hampered by the
strike. and the train despatchers are in
imperative demand all along the line.
All the operators at the small stations
have gone out, and it is there where the
chief trouble lies. Division Superin-
tendent Hubell, of the Western Division
of the Rock Island, says there are only
five men out on tine $40 miles of road
under his control, and that trains are in
no way affected.
The strike situation took a turn for
