DEMAND A RECOUNT.
Nebraska Republicans Will ASS the Lee

Nebraska Republicans Will ASS the Legis-
lature to Declare Who Is Elected.
OMAHA, Nov. 20.-A special to The
Bee from Lincoln, Neb., says: The
Republicans will demand a recount of
votes by the legislature. Up to noon
no notice Of contest had been filed with
the secretary of state, but a prominent
Republican state official says that such
notice will undoubtedly be fled within
the limit, which expires on the Goth
inst. He said that a legislative COM
mittee, consisting of two Populists, two
Democrats and three Republicans
will be asked to proceed with a re-
count Of the ballots for the purpose of
quieting title, and removing all doubt
Of the election Of either candidate for
governor. 1t will be necessary to serve
notice on Judge Holcomb at the same
time. At Independent headquarters
matters are being put in shape by At
torneys Bryan, Leese, Broadly and
Others, to serve notice of contest on the
entire list of Republican candidates for
state offices Immediately following the
contest on governor. Judge Holcomb
is expected to arrive from Broken Bow
Wednesday and remain here until the
opening OF the legislature.

THE WONDERFUL Ko1A NUT.

Our Government Wants Some Specific In
formation Regarding 1t.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-The state de-
partment has been calling upon United
States consuls in Africa for specific in
formation respecting the marvellous
Kola nut, which by it's peculiar action
upon the muscular system enables the
African negroes to make long journeys
bearing enormous loads, under tropical
suns and acros difficult country with
out food. Cases automatically reported
prove that all old negro may carry a
l76-pound bag of coffee four leagues tE
chewing a single nut slowly. Robert
p. Porley, United States consul at
Sierra Leone, Africa, has sent in the
first report on this subject, treating, of
the means of growing and preparing the
nuts. He says that the natives eat the
nuts in the early morning as a stay
against the want of ordinary food
while travelling in the evening to in
duce sleep. Altogether, they consider
that a general benefit to the human
system is derived from the consump-
ton of the kola, say a single nut morn
ing and evening.

proved COO numerous Tor times OF peace,
and the time is now at hand when they
are reaching the higher ranks, the glut
is beginning to be seriously felt.
Lean Towards %Catchiue's Bill.
The disposition now appears to lean
towards a bill introduced by Repre-.
sentative Catchings, the distinctive
feature Of which is the creation Of a re.
serve list. This bill provides for an
active list of IL 9 a admirals, 70 cap
tains, 100 commanders, "a lieutenant
commanders, $50 lieutenants, 65 lieu
tenants of the junior grade, and a suf6-
Gent number of ensigns. 1t abolishes
the rank Of commodore. The provision
regarding the proposed reserve list
renders the change to it in a manner
voluntary, but at the same time holds
out SO many inducements and provides
for bringing such pressure to bear that
it is believed by the friends Of the
measure that it would prove effective
in reducing the force to reasonable di-
mansions. It is stated, as going to
show the evil of permitting the pres
ent system to continue in effect. that
the time will soon come under it where
there will be LOG rear admirals in sery-
vice at once.

.CHlNA-JAPAN INCIDENT
So far as the Offers Of the United
States for Mediation is Concerned
It is Closed.
80 SAY THE DIPLOMATS
At Washington, Who Ought to Know,
Cleveland Will Tell About It in
His Message.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The China.
Japan incident, so far as the United
States offer of mediation is concerned,
is considered closed for the present, by
those in a position to understand the
situation. At the state department. and
at the Chinese and Japanese legations,
there is only negative information to
the effect that no positive answer to
the American suggestion Of mediation
has been received. While it is believed
to be literally true, so far as Japan's
answering by a positive acceptance or
declination Of the suggestion, yet those
we'll informed on the subject say Japan
has made her position clear to this gov
eminent, in such a way to avoid the m
barrassment of a positive declination,
and yet to show that an acceptance
would have to be based on certain def
mite conditions. It is said that Japan
could state this position with such ex-
pressions of good will for the kindly
motives of the United States and such
hopes that the time might come in the
future when the good offices of this
country would be most acceptable, but
would rather increase the good feeling
between Japan and this country.
Cleveland Will Tell About 1t.
The statement was made in congress
sional circles that President Cleveland's
coming message to congress would
throw light on the China-Japan ques-
ton and would forestall any resolution
of inquiry. AS the secretary of state,
unlike other cabinet officers, makes no
annual report to congress, the presi-
dents annual message usually deals
very fully with foreign affairs
in which this government has
any part, and as the recent
negotiations with China and Japan
are the most important foreign ques-
tions the department has handled in
some time, it is concluded that Mr..
Cleveland will make clear the position
OF this government. Up to the present
time there is no official information on
the subject and the state department
has not even stated officially that nego-
tiations with China and Japan are in
progress.

Time Is Too Short For Enactment of
Recommendations of the Strike
Commission This Session,
BUT IT WILL COME SOON.
So Says Hon. Bellamy Storer Of the
Commerce Committee---His Opinion
Of the Matter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Representa-
tive Bellamy Storer Of the commerce
committee Of the house and one Of the
leaders in formulating regulations af-
fecting railroads and commerce says: =
''The recommendations of the ma
tional strike commission cannot be en-
bodied into law at the coming session,
as the time is too short to take up such
a great question. But a law on the
general line suggested by the commits
sion is sure to come at an early day and
railroad men will consult their own in
terests if they recognize and accept the
inevitable. 1t was no experiment for
the federal government to give it's pro-
lection to a class of employees. Already
the national shipping laws protect
sailors. The latter cannot be hired and
discharged at will, but must be hired
for a definite time, usually a voyage,
and the
Federal Law Protects Them
in the execution of this contract. The
government. has been so careful to
guard this class Of employees that sail
ors have the extreme right of libeling a
ship and tying it up for non-payment
of wages. It is rather singular, there
fore, to hear surprise expressed at the
suggestion that railroad and other in
terssate corporation employees should
have the benefit of anational law. The
shipping laws have demonstrated their
usefulness, and you never hear of a
sailor being unjustly discharged. There
are no sailors strikes, and the analogy
between vesselmen and railroadmen is
SO close that what has proved to be good
for one will undoubtedly be good for
the other"
MI. Storer says it would be entirely
feasible for the interstate commerce
commission to be given charge of the
national railroad laws, which would
obviate the necessity Of creating a new
commission.
What storer Hopes to See.
"The two great questions I am hope
full Of seeing passed at the coming SEES
sion," said Mr.. Storer, ''are the Nicar.
aqua canal bill and the bill permitting
railway pooling under certain limita-
tions. There would be little done be.
fore the Christmas holidays, and after
that January and February will give
no time for new legislation. But these
measures are fully matured and are OF
vast commercial Importance, SO that
they can readily be disposed of. There
are no party considerations involved in
either bill, SO that both sides can stand
together in passing two measures OF
such wide Importance"

Several Persons Overcome in Church at
Liverpool, O..
LIVERPOOL. o., Nov. 2O.-Six persons
lie in a critical condition from the
effects of escaping natural gas at the
Second Methodist Episcopal church.
Many were overcome, but are expected
to recover. A new heater had been mt
in the church during the week, and a
joint in the natural gas pipe under the
floor had been left in a defective condi-
ton. The minister swooned in the
pulpit and his condition is very preca-
rious. Physicians were summoned
from all over the city, and carriages
conveyed half a dozen of the victims to
their homes. Mrs. Randall and her two
daughters are the most seriously in.
jured. Their recovery is extremely
doubtful. Rev. MI. Sears is also in a
critical condition, and two physicians
are at his bedside.

ing to Rapid City, this state, and from
there to C~h9pberlain, connecting there
with the Milwaukee system. A portion
OF this line west of Rapid City is al.
ready completed, and about 70 percent
Of the entire road from Rapid City to
Mystic, where it connects with the
Burlington and Missouri, is graded.
William T. Coad, who is n Of the
chief projectors, feels assured that 1896
will see this road completed to Cham
berlain.
The building Of this road cuts off
over $50 miles of the distance to the
markets Of Chicago, St. Paul, Mime
apolis and Duluth. If the road is COM
pleted by next September, it means
that 5000 cars of cattle alone will be
shipped to Chicago and st. Paul, which
will give the road about $4OO, 900 for
the transportation of the cattle alone
for n year besides the other thousands
OF dollars for other freight. The road
taps the best mining districts in the
Black Hills. Thousands Of IONS of ore
have been dug out along the line,
ready for shipment as soon as
the road is completed, to the smelt.
ing works. Wyoming coal will be de-
livered all over the state from 81 to 81

now. There is an abundance Of the
finest timber in the United States along
this route, and with the road completed,
instead Of Wisconsin and Michigan fur.
nishing South Dakota with lumber, she
will get it from her own Black Hills at
a much cheaper rate.
The name Of the projected road is the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-very timely,
in view OF the great rush of p]rospectors
from all quarters of the globe to the
newly discovered gold mines of Aus.
tralia, is an exhaustive report to the
state department., just published, from
United States Consul General Maratta,
at Melbourne. He has been besieged
with letters of inquiry from residents
of California, Colorado, Nevada and
other Western mining states, asking
his advice about going to Australia,
and takes this method of answering in.
quiries. The report is very instructive
and goes so far into details as to in.
clude a set of very practical
suggestions drawn up by the
Australian minister of mines, for the
guidance Of people unused to digging
for gold, showing where and how it is
to be looked for and to aid those miners
who want to get a little gold for sub.
sistence as quickly as possible, in easily
worked ground. But the kernel Of the
report is in the following paragraphs;
"There is a good opportunity here
for miners from the United States well
versed in the best methods of obtaining
gold, but it is absolutely necessary that
they come well provided with both
funds and experience, with sufficient OF
the former to last at least six months
irrespective Of what gold they may oh.
tain. The machinery and appliances
in vogue here are not altogether the
latest and best, in many cases they are
quite obsolete. If some Of our large
manufacturers of mining machinery
and appliances would send representa-.
tives out to these colonies it would, in
my opinion, well repay Them"
