During the last two weeks we have
received over twenty letters giving us

We give a few extracts from some
of these letters. One from an East

should put up good strong man
this time, one that we can elect.
The closing paragraph of the above
extract is about the funniest thing we
ever saw in politics. In the first
place the writer of the letter does not
seem to know that the Legislature
has nothing TO do with the election
of the Warden. but he is selected by
a Board consisting of the Governor,
| Lieutenant Governor and Secretary
of State. The idea that a strongm man
must be put up, is also superfiuOus,
as no matter how strong or weak, it
requires but two votes to elect him

PECKHAM IN THE SENATE.
Senator Pugh Begins the Debate by
Opposing Confirmation.
THE BATTLE PROMISES TO BE
LONG AND HARD.

Other Washington News-The Democratic
One-The Bland Bill Discussed in the
House-Mr. Frye Among the Senators
Who Voted Yesterday in Favor of Let
ting Women Vote.
Washington, February 15.-The Senate
today passed the bill requiring railroads
in the territories to maintain stations
and depots at all town sites established
by the interior department. Thesvote
was: Yeas, 27; nays, 81 and the Vice
President then voted aye. Mr.. PETER,
Populist of Kansas, had offered an
amendment to the bill, which would
allow women as we'll as men to vote on
the question of the establishment OF
county seats. He declared that he would
avail himself of every opportunity to
strike out the word male" wherever it
interfered with the rights of the
famales Mr.. Peffer's amendment was
rejected: yeas, IS; nays, AZ. The
alternatives votes were by Senators
Allison, Carey, Davis, Doiph, Fr. G,
Gallinger, Hansbrough, Kyle, Mander-
son, Mitchell of Oregon, PETER, Perkins,
Stewart, Teller and Wilson.
Immediately after the vote was taken
on the bill, Mr.. Pugh, chairman of the
commi ttee on the judiciary, made a
motion to go into executive session, and
at ten minutes to three, the doors were
closed. Mr.. Pagh at once called up the
nomination of W. H. Peckham for
associate Supreme court justice and ad-
dressed the Senate He laid before the
Senate the matter contained in the letters
sent the committee and made an argu-
nent against the fitness of Mr.. Peckham
for the high place to which he was ap--
pointed, calling the special attention of
the Senate to what he termed the preju-
diced character of the mind of the
nominee. Mr.. Pugh SAID the legal
qualifications of Mr.. Peckham were
entirely inconsistent with the duties of
jurist. The nominee was, he said,
more biased and prejudiced special
pleader than an impartial judge capable
of looking on both sides Of a legal
question. He opposed him for his atti-
tude in certain elections when, Mr.. Pugh
said, Mr.. Peckham proved by his actions
that he was not good Democrat.
Mr.. Harris, Democrat of Tennessee, fol-
lowed briefly in support of confirmation.
Mr.. Lindsay. Democrat of Kentucky,
memb of the judiciary committee,
made an earnest speech in behalf of the
nominee.
Mr.. Mcpherson favored the confrma-
tion. At 5.5O Mr.. Villas got the floor and
prepared for long speech. 1t was evil
dent that no result could be reached to-
day, and, by common consent, adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow, when
the discussion will be renewed i'm
mediately after the morning business.

SEIZED AT BANGOR.
A Valuable Horse which May Prove ths
Clue to Great Swindle.

Boston, February 15.-Special agents
of the treasury department for the dis
trict of New England believe that they
have unearthed gigantic schem to de-
fraud the government. About week
ago, they seized valuable unregistered
stallion at Bangor, Me-, for undervalua-
ton. The horse was entered at Vance
boro, Me-, at $40, by F. E. Bennett,
claiming residence in Kansas. Inves-
tigation showed that e100 pounds was
paid for the animal in England last Au-
gust by E. Bennett & Son of Topeka,
Kansas. He was landed at Montreal and
destined for New York city where, it is
claimed, the present owner resides. The
animal was turned over to the collector
of customs at Bangor, Me-, to be forfeit
ed to the United States government. 1t
is estimated that 800 valuable horses
have been thus imported from England.
Special Agent Smith claims he has evi-
dence that the government has been
greatly def auded by undervaluation.

VISITORS GOT AcoLD WELCOME.
While New Haven Official Wrangled About
Paying the Bills.

New Haven, Conn, February 15.-
There was a lively squabble this morn
ing between members of the town and
city governments regarding the enter
tainment of Newark, N. j., visitors who
arrived here today. The visitors con-
sisted of the Mayor and members of the
Newark common council who came here
for the purpose of inspecting the town
aims house. Mayor Sargent refused to
expend anything because there was no
appropriation and the town officials held
that the visitors were the city's guests
and they too refused to do anything. The
Mayor said adj was due to newspaper
criticisms because of the bill that he put
in for expenses. etc., to Hartford last
year. The New Haven Register pro-
CURED carriages and offered to entertain
the guests, but they were considerably
nettied at the neglect of the officials and
refused. The selectmen finally obtained
carriages and telephoned to the aims
house, ordering suitable dinner for the
party. The conduct of the squabblers is
adversely commented upon by all New
Haven's leading citizens.

YELLOW JACK ON BOARD.
Several Sick Sailors Landed from
the Cruiser Newark.
THE LAUNCH FIRED ON BY ONE OF
THE INSURGENT SHIPS.

Admiral Benham Has Sent the Newark to
infected--The Captain of the Rebel
Ship Explained the Firing at the
Newark's Launch by Saying that He
Did Not Recognize it.
Rio Janeiro, February 15.-Tuesday
night, launch belonging to the Ameri-
can cruiser Newark took ashore from
that vessel several sailors who had been
attacked by yellow fever. The men were
taken to the yellow fever hospital and
the launch returned to the Newark. On
the way back, her course took her close
to the anchorage of the merchant feet.
Lying among the merchantmen was the
insurgent steamer Marte. The latter
fired three shots at the launch, but all
three went wild. A press representative
saw the captain of the Marie yesterday.
The captain declared that he did not
know the launch was an American. This
statement is not worthy of belief, as the
launches belonging to the American war
ships are easily distinguished from the
other boats that ply about the harbor.
After landing the sick sailors, the New
ark, under orders from Admiral Ben
ham, sailed for Montevideo, where she
will be disinfeeted.
Buenos Ayres, February 15.-Advices
reached here from Rio Janeiro today cou-
firming the report that General Galyao,
assistant minister of war, had resigned
because of differences between himself
and President Peixoto regarding the
treatment of insurgents who had been
captured by the government forces. 1t
is further said that General Macedo,
commanding at Fort Santa Cruz, has
been arrested on suspicion that he was
acting as spy for the insurgents.
The insurgents hold the State of Para
na, and there are signs that disaffection
is beginning to spread in tile State of Sac
Paulo. The authorities. fearing that the
garrisons in the cities of Sac Paulo and
Santos, in the State of Sac Paulo, would
join the insurgents, have withdrawn
them and replaced them with other
troops. The defences of those places
have been increased. A battle along the
boundary line between Parana and Sac
Paulo is imminent.
"A cOnIllCI mas occurred among Tic
troops and the Inhabitants of Alagoas, in
the state of that name. in the northeast
ern section of Brazil. Many of the lat
ter were killed.
The foreign journals in Sac Paulo have
been suppressed. The manager of a
German newspaper published there has
been arrested. The banks are closed,
and business generally is at standstill.

cruising off Santos in the Republica. Dy-
Mantle torpedo boats are protecting the

HOIST BYHIS OWN .PETARD.
An Anarchist Killed by the Explosives He
Carried.

London, February 15.-A loud ex-
plcsion was heard just after nightfall by
the keepers of Greenwich park, about
six miles from London bridge. A hasty
search led to the discovery of man
groaning with pain on hill top near the
observatory. His legs were shattered,
one arm was blown from the body and
he was almost completely disembow-
eled. A few minutes after he was car
ried to the seamen's hospital where he
died. Papers found in the mans pocket
showed that he was Martial Pourdin, a
foreign anarchist. A peculiar powder in
the package he carried was not recog-
nizsd by the police and has been sent
to government experts for analysis. A
hurried investigation of Pourdin's life in
London shows that he was member of
dangerous anarchist conspiracy. Pour
din's intention in making the trip to
Greenwich has not been ascertained.

SENATORS PURSUED.
The Tariff Tinkers Find That Their Lot
Is Not Happy One.

-
Washington, February 15.-The condi-
ton of affairs in the Senate as compared
with that of the House makes the work
of the subcommittee now endeavoring
to frame tariff bill much more labori-
GUS than that of the members of the
ways and means committee. While there
was opposition in the House to some
things the committee proposed to do and
subsequently did do, it was not an oppo-
sition capable of exercising the power
that can be exerted to defeat an unsatis-
factory bill in the Senate. The report of
the committee on rules in the House was
an ever present remedy to stife opposi-
ton, but no such remedy is found in the
Senate. and the party majority in the
Senate is so small and the opposition SO
concentrated that the active work of two
or three men can do more mischief to
party plans than half hundred could do
in the House. For this reason, with the
threats of certain senators boldly uttered
the committee finds it exceedingly diff
cult to amalgamate the demands of all
members of its party into a harmonious
whole that will stand the test to which
such bill would be put when it goes
back to the House. should it successfully
pass the Senate. OF all the items, sugar
is giving the committee the severest trial
and all sorts of rumors have been flying
during the past "a hours.
A strong lobby is found at the Capitol
every day, and it is impossible for mem
bers of the finance committee to pass
from the Senate chamber to the commit
tee room without having to run the
gauntlet of innumerable opportunities.
So persistent have been the efforts OF
these individuals to confer with senators
that the story gained credit last evening
that the committee had decided to end
the agitation on the sugar question by
fixing the rate and issuing statement IN
advance of the reporting of the Dill.
This proved to be untrue, as have many
other reports, and it is known that up to
this time the committee has come to no
conclusion whatever on sugar. The Sen
ate committee is opposed to duty on
sugar, but the matter has resolved itself
into a question of expediency. Ii the
bill cannot be passed without such duty
the duty will be put on it. The Louisi-
ana senators, and particularly Mr.. CAT
ferry, are firm in the intention to oppose
the bill to the bitter end, unless sugar is
put on the dutiable list at what they
consider the right figure, and strong
delegation from Louisiana is now here to
back up the senators in their fight. They
will vote to recommit the bill if they are
ignored, and then, if unsuccessful, will
vote against the bill. The coal men have
been Modified by what they consider
practically pledge to give them 80 cents
a ton, but other interests, still unsettled
are clamoring for concessions and threat
ening all sorts of things if they are not
granted.

ficers of that commonwealth. The cir
cular requested finds for campaign pur-
poses, and carried graduated assess
ment of from: 1-2 to 10 per cent, accord
ing to the salary received by each official
Within the past few days copies OF the
circular have peen before the Civil Ser
vice Commission. Commissioner Roose-
velt is now collecting information regard
ing the personnel of the committee,
whether any of its number are officers
of the government, and the method of
distributing the circulars. The issuance
of such circulars, where the purpose is
specifically for political purpose, is
punishable by fine and imprisonment.
One member of the Connecticut state
central committee is Henry Goddard,
collector of customs at Bridgeport.
While it is not charged that Mr.. Goddard
sent out the circular, his connection with
the committee makes him amenable to
the law. Commissioner Roosevelt was
quoted this morning as saying that the
commission had a clear case against Mr..
Goddard. Members Of the committee
not federal officials, are also liable to
prosecution, it is claimed, inasmuch as
in one case the circulars were sent to a
postmaster, whose office is in his house.
1t is understood that Mr.. Roosevelt, or
some other member of the commission,
will proceed to Connecticut after further
data are received by them and personally
investigate the matter.
