For DnclkCrY'S Sent.

A committee is now investigating the legality
or illegality OF A. VI. Dockery's election in the
Taird Missouri District. As shown on the lace
OF the returns his plurality is $40.
The friends OF Judge orion. his Republican
opponent, claim at certain points the election
was tainted with fraud; that at other places
such Irregularities were permitted us to render
the election at the precincts illegal and void:
and that many votes which were thrown out
and not counted at all should have been count
ed for him. On these grounds Judge Orion
will claim his election and make his contest.
In 1892 DOckery's plurality was 346I.

the resolution OF Mr.. Lodge, calling on the
Secretary of State for information to the
execution Of two japanese students by Chinese
authorities while the students were under the
protection OF the United States. Mr.. Sherman

the Japanese students were sui jected, while
under the protection Of this country, and said
il the facts were as had lecn published some
one was very much TO blame.
Mr. Morgan stated that the resolution evil
IDENTIFY sought to Censure or blame someone.
Moreover, war was now progressing between
China and Japan, and il would be unwise to
take shy action that would appear favorable
to one beicereut OF the other.
Mr. Chandler asked why il that this was
referred TO as such a delicate" matter. The
resolution simply sought facts Ii was charged
that these students were in an American Con-
sulate under the protection OF the United
States flag. That protection had been violated
according to the reports.
Mr. Morgan said his main objection to the
resolution was that it was predicated
impeachment of the President or Secretary of
State.
Nr. Lodge answered with much vigor that
be had rot intended to present any jmpeach-
ment OF make an attack. But the outr8ges on
these students under American protection was
established by unim peachable authority, and it
remained only to establish it officially. This
country has done good deal OF ipeddling in
this China Japan controversy"

Bounties of Michigan Veterans.

Al each session of the Michigan Legislature
some patriotic member introduces u bill for the
equalization of bounties to surviving veterans
of The rebellion, but the actual cost of the same
has heretofore been unknown. Adpt- Gen.
Eaton has made careful estimate, and shows
from the records of his office that the cost would
reach nearly $l2000,O00. This probably settles
the question of legislation in favor of the old
soldier as the figures apparently present an in
surmoun table obstacle.
