jcct for Debate.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The indications
are that the Cuban question and the Dupont
election case will continue to claim the
greater share OF the attention during the
present week, though other matters undoubt-
edy will be considered at different times.
An agreement was reached two weeks ago,
before the Dupont case was taken up and be-
fore the bill for the settlement Of the accounts
between the United States and the state of
Arkansas had been made the unfinished busi-
pess for tomorrow If this agreement is
place the Dupont debate. There is also an
understanding that in case it is made appar-
ent that the Cuban matter can be speedily
disposed of the managers for Mr.. Dupont
will not stand in the way Senator Sherman
is exceedingly desirous Of getting the Cuban
resolutions out of the way at the earliest
practicable time and will press consideration.
The senators who are opposing the resolu-
ton are, however, not inclined to fall in with
this design, and there is now no prospect
of an immediate vote for the conference re-
port.
1t Is intimated that the president is likely
to send a message to the senate on the Cuban
question in response to Senator Hoars reso-
luton of inquiry, and IL he should do SO, 1t
will unquestionably have influence in expe-
diting or retarding final consideration of the
question In the senate Senator Lodge will
and Senator Pugh on tariff and silver. Sem
ator Morgan probably will make the next
speech on the Cuban question: in reply to
Senators Hale, Hill and Hoar. and Senator
Chandler will lead the debate in the Du-
pont case when its consideration is resumed.

rich farmer, living mile from this village,
with his three sons, a daughter-in-law and
Taylor Crisman, a nephew. At dinner

shortly after all were stricken with violent
commissions The old man was the first to
succumb and he was buried Thursday. The
sons, daughter and nephew are still barely
alive, and their physicians say they have lit
tie hope OF their recovery
There Is no doubt in the minds OF the at
tending physicians and neighbors of the fam
lily that an attempt was made to poison the
whole family to- death, and there is a
clamor for most thorough investigation of
the case Detectives have been employed for
the purpose, and suspicion already points to
an interested party, whose motives are said
to be jealousy, and who had made threats
against one of the sons within the past
month. The suspect is being closely watched.
The Taylors have long been highly respected
by their neighbors, and the party suspected
of the crime will be summary dealt with
IL the detectives succeed In their efforts to

HOUSE FORECAST FOR THE WEEK.
Oklahoma Homestead Bill to Come Up
EARLY.


WASHINGTON, March ia variety of
matters make up the program for the week
in the house. Tomorrow is committee sus-
pension day under the rules and several
bills probably will be called up and acted
on, among them the Oklahoma homestead
bill The bill for the reform of the admins
trative features of the tariff law, which
has been carefully formulated as a result
of extensive hearings before the ways and
means committee, will be brought forward
on Tuesday. AS the administration of the
customs laws is largely technical matter.
concerning which there is little general
information the bill will probably be passed
in day unless general tariff discussion is
precipitated This is not at all unlikely, in
view of the political activity in the country.
The naval appropriation bill will go slow.
The whole question of the expediency of add
ing to the new navy is involved in this bill
and it's possibilities as a subject for debate
are very wide. 1t is not believed it can be
disposed of this week, but If, by chance, it
should, the report of the elections commit
tee in favor of unseating Mr. Boatner for
the Fifth Louisiana district will be called up

ut is thought, therefore, that all loyal
Nebraskans can consistently and safely put
aside other individual preferences for par
ticular candidates and unitedly do anything

cause our state will derive incalculable ad-
vantages therefrbm. The feeling is every

party this year will be western man, and
that those who have heretofore been leading
favorites in the race for the nomination are
not developing anything like the strength
