Surprising Strength Developed by

a New Man.
| TOPEKA. Kan, Jan. 24.-The legiS-
lature complied with the law requiring
that ballot for United States senator
be taken today. The Republican house,
by agreement with the Populists, had
the first roll call. which resulted as fol-
lows: Joseph w. Ady (Rep.), caucus
nominee, 81; e. W. Perkins, |; Ed
DENY, ?. Mes Messrs. Rosenthal and d
Chambers Dem } voted for o. 'Brien, and
Meagher Dem.) for Carroll. In the
senate the vote was: Ady tRep.), Is;
John W. Martin Fusion Dem.), 6; Nc
Cleverty (Fusion Dem.), /; King (Pop.),
l; Doster (POp.) 10; Bredenthal Pop.)
6. In the Populist house the vote was:
Breidenthal, II; Doster, 13; CODurn, II;
Martin, 8; King, 8; scattering, IA. All
the candidates are POpulistS.
The result of the balloting gives no
indication as to what the end will be.
Ady will, of course, stay in the race
until the Republican policy dictates the
date, when there will be a breakup,
and that element will be at sea until
Democrat is taken up. In the Populist
house Martin had undoubtedly the
most strength, although he was given
less votes than either Briedenthal or
Doster. AS an illustration of this
Speaker DunSmOre. an aVowed Martin
man, voted for eX-Gov. Robinson. Other
equally strong Martin supportes also
scattered their votes. This was in pur-
suance with the policy of Martins wait
ing until his opponents in the Populist
forces become willing to accept him in
preference to a Democrat for the other
wing Of the party.
A boom for Coburn, Populist men,
ber from Burton county, diSturbs the
situation somewhat He had not been a
possibility till today, and the strength
candidates. Many who voted for
him did so in order to scatter their
votes, but the fact that so many picked
on him gave him position
in the field which may destroy some
well-laid plans. Interest centers in the
joint convention tomorrow, when the
fight will shape itself. The end is not
looked for for several days. The Re
pubicans continue to regard B. z.
Wagener. the stalwart Democrat from
AtchiSon, as the solution of the Situa-
ton.
The Republican caucus tonight made
MAJ. j. X. Hudson their candidate for
state printer. The steering COM
mittee advised the caucus to
change from Crane to Hudson,
because Crane had not been
able to control any outside votes. Crane
was indignant, and stated IN an inter-
view that he had been defeated by pol
iticians, who had kept Republicans away
from joint ballot each day in the house
SO he could not get the full party vote.
In the POpulst caucus tonight eX-
Gov. Martin was nominated for United
States senator on the fourteenth ballot.

New YORK, Jan. 24.-Capt ericsson
of the steamer Alsatia, reports that on
his last trip from this port to Gibraltar
he passed the Norwegian bark Star Of
India dismantled and with no signs of
life on board. She was passed on Dec.
20, at o'clock p. M, in latitude 41:31,
longitude $3.50. Her poop and fore
castle were gutted; her bulwarks car
ried away, and her foremast was broken
off short. The stumps of her main and
mizzen maStS were standings The sail
on the main yard was tluttering in the
wind. The main hatch was stove in
and the seas were washing completely
over her. The Star of India was
wooden vessel. She was of 1,040 ons,
and was commanded by Capt. Nelson.
She left PenaScola Nov. % for London.
She must have been wrecked early in
December, but nothing has been heard
of the crew since then. 1t is feared all

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D.. Jan. 24.-TWo bills
were introduced In the house today
creating the Office of commissioner Of
immigration, one of which attached it
to the office of school land commissioner
and the other to the board of agrlcult-
ure. Petitions are pouring in protest.,
ing against proposed legislation to add
gasoline to the oilsrequiring inspection,
bat the reasons for the petitions are not
so apparent. Railroad legislation took
up the greater portion of the time of the
senate, and an animated an earnest de-
bate was INDUCED in.
At o'clock the senate went into COM
mittee OF the whole to consider the bill
of Senator Dollard, providing that rail-
roads shall pay for losses caused by fire
from engines, for the avoid able killing
of stock, and assessing double damages
in case they refuse to pay the loss with
in thirty days from loss. Senator
HOrner moved that when the committee
rise to recommend the indefinite post,
p0nement OF the bill. The bill i'll Ques-
ton is patterned after the Iowa law, but
somewhat more drastic so far as double
damages are concerned. In the discuss
sion the whole subject of railroad legis-
lation was gone over, and in almost
every speech the sentiment was eX-
pressed that there was no desire on the
part of themselves or constituents to
enact any laws that would tend to in-
Jure railroad property or to discriminate
against railroads. but it was desired to
have obscure clauses in our law con-
Strued or made more plain. Naturally,
10 ri nf n
what measures are discriminating and
what are not.
The committee reported in favor Of
indefinite pOStpOnement, and then the
report was adopted. Roll call was de-
manded on the vote on the adoption of
the report, and the result was thirty af-
firmatiVe AMI eleven negative votes,
with two members absent. This is Sup-
posed 10 be a test vote in the senate on
radical railroad legislation and indicates
that at least two-third of that body are
not willing to discriminate against rail-
roads. 1t is also known that some of those
voting against indefinite pOstpOnement
did so because they wanted the bill
more fully considered and not because
they were favorable 10 all the provisions
OF this particular measure.
LII the house resolution was intro
duced calling for the appointment of a
special committee to go to Chicago to
investigate the matter OF the worlds
fair ana to inspect the South Dakota
building, but, after an animated discus
sion of two hours, the resolution was
made special order for 3 o'clock to-
morrow, when more fun is anticipated.
for there is bitter contest as to the
amount to appropriate for the state ex-
hibit at Chicago.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Speculation
is already rife over the succession of
Justice Lamar on the supreme bench.
The particular person who will
be chosen is not considered so
much as the question whether
President Harrison will make nomi-
nation to fila the vacancy or leave
the matter opeu for President Cleve-
lands action. 1t Is certain, in viewof
the attitude of certain Democratic SEN
ators toward the nomination of Mr.. Nc
Comas to be judge of the court of the
District of Columbia, that a nomination
by President Harrison would be antag-
oniZed to the end of the session, and
defeated if possible. In view of that
fact it is possible the president
will not care to provoke a bitter
Should he decide to make nomination,
the probabilities are that member of
the United States judiciary, member
of Justice Lamar'S old circuit, will be
honored by the appointment. This cir
cult embraces Alabama, Georgia, Flor
ida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-At an Informal
conference of Chicago lawyers today, at
which the question of filling the su-
preme court vacancy caused by the
death of Justice Lamar was discussed,
Alexander Sullivan made SUGGESTION
that commended itself as an equitable
mode of providing for eX-presidents in
a dignified way when they possess the
required legal attainments. 1t was
that at least majority of
the senators petition President
Harrison to resign, that Vice President
Morton, who, the country, knows, would
make a dignifed, safe and patriotic
president, nominate Gen. Harrison to
the supreme bench. Harrison's recog.
nized position as lawyer would make
the appointment fit strictly on its merits,
while it would furnish the president
with hard work, the best solace in
his domestic grief, and make it unneces.
sary for him to return to his desolate
Indiana home. The suggestion was
received with favor, because it would
provide becoming position without the
obnoxious feature of being sinecure

MADISON. Wis. Jan. 2i.-The cOnstl-
tutional provision making it compulsory
on the legislature to vote for United
States senator Jan. "a was complied
with at o'clock this afternoon by both
houses of the legislature. At yester-
days caucus of the Democrats resolu-
tion Was passed pledging ca ch member
to vote today for some Democrat from
their district other than the three candi-
dates who are now before the caucus.
In the assembly John G. Spooner re-
ceived the full Republican strenglh-42
votes-and in the senate. The Demo-
Gratis voted for some friend whom they
desired to honor-each name being diff
ferent. Tomorrow the houses will meet
in joint session. The journals of this
afternoons session will be read. and
a joint ballot will be taken for United
States senator. The same tactics will
be followed as at today's session, and
this plan will continue until the caucus
makes a selection. The Democratic
caucus met at o'clock this afternoon.
The seventeenth ballot was then taken
and resulted: Mitchell, 81; Knight, 19;
Bragg, 20. The twenty-second ballot
was the same, and an adjournment was
taken until o'clock tonight. One of
the members created some merrlment
when the nineteenth ballot was taken
by voting for John l.. Sullivan, after
wards explaining that he meant John
l.. Mitchell. Balloting was resumed at
So'clock and the tWentY-third ballot re-
suited: Mitchell, 80, Mahoney and
Phalen being absent: Bragg, 30: Knight.
10, Senator Kennedy being absent. The
caucus then adjourned until 1890 to-
morrow morning.

clinched the grip on Blenski. Lieut.
Gov. Jones. an enthusiastic Bragg fol-
lower, was intrusted with the mission of
keeping Blenski in line, and never left
his side. The Rev. Fathers Gulski and
Grucza, of Milwaukee, who responded
to dozen kilograms dispatched last
night, gained admission to the caucus,
though they were not. under the rules,
entitled to the privilege. and the spec
tacle of the priests participating i'll the
caucus is disapproyed by the Bragg fol-
lowing.
The only change in the six ballots
taken this afternoon was an apparent,
though not actual, gain of one vote for
Mitchell. made possible by the return
of Assent blyman Edmonds. There is
dark horse sentiment prevalent tonight.

GERvAIsE, Or, Jan. 24.-The United
States Banking company suspended
payment here yesterday. There was
run made on the bank Saturday after
noon and all the money was drawn out.
The cashier refused to open for busi-
ness yesterday. The company has three
banks in the state-one at this
place, one at junction City and
another at Sheridan, all small concerns.
There was run on the junction City
branch today. Its doors were closed.
So far no run has been made on the
Sheridan branch. President Baldridge
is now in Chicago. but is expected to
return soon. There was about $4,000
on deposit here unpaid. The farmers
are the principal losers. The entire
capital of the three banks is less than
$4,000. 1t is believed the deDositorS will
be paid in full when the president re-
turns.
LINCOLN, Neb. Jan. 24.-The state
banking board today sclosed the Dickin-

ing, but no especial effort will be made

was small concern; deposits were
small and it is not thought that any one

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-In Shang-
hal papers which arrived yesterday ad-
ditional details are given of the fright
full loss OF life in the burning of the
great temple near Canton Oh Dec. so.
The facts show that the disaster was
more horrible than the first advices in
dicated. 1t seems that on the night
before the fire a band of brigandS, after
having deSpoled number of family
houses, tried to raid all exhibition to be
held in honor of the Tin Han goddess,
and in which there were many valuable
decorations. Soldiers on guard opened
fire on the robbers, ana fight enSued.
The result was one Of the marauderS
was captured, while the rest made their
escape. When all was over the vii
layers thought peace had been restored,
and held no fear that the robbers would
return. They enjoyed the entertain
ment as usual, but on the following
night several places on the roof of a
temporary theater, which formed a part
OF the amuSementS, were seen OH fire.
The flames spread rapidly, and soon
bamboo was falling from the roof. Some
OF the audience were knocked down by
flaming rafters and badly burned before
they could escape. Those who got out
could not go home OH account of the
solid mass of people in the streets, and
they took refuge in another neighbOrlng
temple. This at last caught fire also,
and the scene was an awful one. The
door did not afford a sufficient means of
egreSs and large numbers were roasted
alive. Altogether over 1000 lives were
lost, including those who were burned
in the theater. The greater part of the
bodies were so horribly burned that
Identification was impossible. The Chi
nese are very particular about funeral
hOnors to relatives, but in this case rela
tives of the dead refused to move them,
and so the ruins were filled with black
ened and decayed remains, from which
an intolerable stencil arose. Over 700
coffins were sent from Canton by Chi
neSe charitable societies in order that
proper burial might be given the oead.
Two hundred and eighty houses in the
village were burned.

morning that Republicans would vote

So, 900 to $4,000 accounts for the presence
of the various district judges in this
with favor. The house today by de-
cided majority killed the resolution
in favor of the antI-Optlon bill which
passed early in the session and was re-
called. The official organ of the Farm
ers' Alliance he out against it this
week AID declared it to be scheme of
the nIillers, considered a worse enemy
of the farmer than the Eastern boards of
trade. Among other bills today is the
old ''boodle car" measure, making the
killing of stock by railroad companies
prima facie evidence of the neglect and
liability of a railroad company.
Tonight'S action of the Democrats in
signing an agreement "under no cir
cumstances to be found recreant to
Democratic principles or the incoming
administration" which is taken to mean
that they will not vote for Republican
under any circumstances, has caused
more conciliatory feeling among the

defeated in the late election by Michael
Davitt, since unSeated, Had an encounter
today in the Four Courts with Matthew
Joseph Kenney, Nationalist member
of parliament, the result of
which is that Kenney wears a
black eye. KenneY was in the hall of
the Four Courts at the time Mahoney
approached him. Mahoney eXcitedly
rushed upon Kenney, ,eXclaiming: "HoW
dare you excite my mother?' with which
Mahoney brought his fist in forcible
contact Vith Mr.. Kenney's eye, causing
that gentleman to Stagger and utter an
exclamation of surprise. He started to
follow up the blow, Whereupon the two

warranted in extending his approval.
