populists and democrats, was concluded
this evening, The populists have the

convey to the President elect the assur-
ance of the Illinois delegation that Nor
rlson was their unanimous choice for the
cab net
Senator Palmer, who was thought to
be unfavorable to Morrson's appoint

assure Cleveland of his (Palmer's) desire
that Morrison should De recognized
Speaking of the interview Scott said
he thought tariff bill would be framed
hy some one known to be in accord with
Cleveland's views. He didn't think an
extra session would be called in the
spring as that would undoubtedly inau
gurate tariff discussion which might bt
prolonged further into the summer than
was advisable. 1t was quite probable
that congress would be convened in :nt
fall and thus the extra session woL.j
form practically an extension of the regu'

The Deadlock Unbroken.

LINCOLN, Neb, Jah 4-The dead
| cx in the Nebraska senate remains un-
broken Frank Wilson, republican, was
elected temporary secretary this N morning,
but it was prearranged plan to make
spme show of progress. The members
were regularly seated.
When the house was called to order at
3 80 debate was cut short by the speaker
ruling that all business was oui of order
until the canvass of votes was made. The
house then adjourned until 10 a. m. to
morrow. This action postpones the in
augural of Governor-elect Crounse and
throws the senatorial fight over until
next week. The senate is deadlocked on
the election of president protein. There
seems to be no quest on that democrats
and independents of the house will COM
bine on the election of a senator, but
same parties in the senate seem to be di-
vided. Paddock stock cons quently
drops peg and Majors stock advances.
Maj IT is republican. Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Crounse, the governor-elect, is
growing as a senatorial candidate and
Congressman Bryan, democrat, seems to
be in the lead however, being the favorite
with independents.

Prominent among the latter was Nc

greeted by his associates and who ran the
gauntlet of questions as to the dolngs OF
the monetery commission, Of which he
was a member. His answers were rather
non committal.
At 10 o'clock the speaker, in clear
voice, called the house to order, and the
chaplain offered prayer.
Mr.. Scott, of Illinois, asked consent
for the consideration of a resolution set
ting forth that the fifty first congress

The Grain Markets Unhinged.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Jan. The announce
ment that the government crop report
for January would be issued this after
noon rather unhinged the grain markets.
With regard to wheat there was no de
cided opinion formulated concerning the
report, but traders in corn and oats con-
cluded that as regards to these articles
it must necessarily help the bulls. Wheat
closed about l 8 cent lower than on the
day before; corn is cent higher. and
oats from 8 8 to 2 cent higher. Provis-
ions were strong and showed the bull
clique to be still in absolute control.
At the close pork was 40 cents higher,
lards and ribs each II 3 cents.

hope that heavier sentence will be i'm
posed on them there Anderson and
Chelton are now under indictment in
