FOR BOTH BRANCHES
The Programmes for the Week in the
Senate and House.
ELECTION CONTEST CASES
As Usual the Senators Have
Planned for Lengthy Debates
on the River and narbor Bill
On Foreign Relations.

Washington, May 3.-The programme
for the week in the house is very un-
settled. Nothing definite has been
agreed upon except that the refunding
bill, In behalf of which there has been
much pressure, will not come up. Bar
tholdt, chairman of the committee on
immigration, desires to get up the i'm
migration bill the latter part Of the
week, but II Is doubtful whether he will
be able to do so. In case any refer
ence reports on appropriation bills are
postponed, they have the right Of way.
There are half dozen contested elec-
ton cases on the calendar, and as they
are privileged, il is possible that most
of the week will be occupied in their
consideration. The house has already
disposed of 19 cases. The unseated
democrats were Robbins of Alabama,
McCann of Illinois, Cobb of Alabama.
Tarsney of Missouri, Boatner Of Louisi-
ana and Mckinney of Virginia. The
cases on the calendar are Johnson VS..
Stokes, from the Seventh South Caro-
lima; Murray VS.. Elliott, from the First
South Carolina; Kinnaker VS.. Down
ing, from the Sixteenth Illinois; Cor
nell VS.. Swanson, from the Fifth Vir-
ginia, and Hoge VS.. Otey from the
Sixth Virginia. The republicans in the
two latter cases favor the sitting men,
bers and will occasion no debate. In
the Johnston-Stokes case the majority
report favors the sitting member, but
there is a minority report in favor of
the contestant. In the Murray Elliott
and Kinnaker- Downing cases, the ma
tority report favors the contestants.
There will be cases in which findings
of the committee will be resisted by
the democrats. Murray is a colored
man and was given a seat by the Fifty
first house after a contest

An Assured Income to the Great Instftu-

An Assured Income TO the Great Instftu-
tion-Interest of $4,000 Month.
San Francisco. May 3.-After three
years of litigation over the estate of
the late Senator Stanford. Mrs. STAN
ford has at last been enabled to pay
the bequest of $500. 900. which the sen
ator left to the Leland Stanford, jr.,
university. This payment means an
assured income to the great institution,
no matter what may happen to any
person or persons, and this assured in
come implies an end to the financial
stress that has been more serious than
any one not admitted to the inner his
tory of the Stanford estate knows. And
this bequest has been paid with this
unusual promptness because of the en-
ergy and management of Mrs. Stanford
herself The bonds transferred to the
university draw interest at the rate of
$4,000 a month.

How Porterhou.e steak Was NAMED.

In the old coaching days there was a
tavern In New York. kept by a man
named Porter. famous for It's steaks.
TO which house one Saturday night
there arrived a traveller who called for
steak. Not one was left. but the
hungry traveller called and called again
for a steak. Finally the innkeeper. in
his distress. took from his larder a
large piece OF sirloin. put there for
roasting and cut from IL a piece TO
broil. IL was found so delicious that
the same piece was often called for
after that. and was christened after
the house and its proprietor. Porter
house steak" Up 10 this time this
piece Of meat had been used for roast
ing only and the discovery of its vir-
tues for broiling may be said TO have
been quite accidental

New York, May 3.-There appeared
little change in the situation in the en-
forcement of the Raines liquor law to-
day, the first Sunday under the state
board. The saloons throughout the city
were closed. Such business as was
done in the direction of selling liquor
was monopolized by those places which
held hotel licenses.

A Straw.
Thos. p. Moore of Tower City, in a
letter to the Fargo Forum, renounces
the republican party and '.jolns hands
with the holy cause of silver, for in this
lies the safety of our country" He says:
II have loved the republican party,
but when I see her join hands with the
rich against the poor, the strong against
the weak, the east against the west, and
only terms Of abject slavery offered to
the poor and needy, who have constitu-
ted her strength and grandeur, can
only say calmly and sadly for the
year goodbye But when she shall
have been resurrected and imbued with
q new life and inscribe upon her banner
the cause of the masses then it will be
my glorious privilege to vote and work
for her. am not unmindful Of the fact
that her history has been sublime and
her achievements great, but now more
than ever before, is the hour for true
patriotism for men who will stand for
homes, for bread and native land. am

sour opponent, gentlemen, exaRgerates
the difficulties of the task before us. In
order to restore silver it is only neces-
sary to absorb the current product OF
the mines. The accumulated stock is
in the shape of coin bearing the stamp
OF various governments, and 1t is absurd
to assume the the owners of such coin
will send it here simply to receive the
American stamp. Silver coin 1t is and
silver coin it would remain. There Is no
surplus anywhere in shape of bullion.
But We are told that increase OF value
will increase production. OF course, no
man can foretel what the product of
silver will be, but the best test OF the
Limitation of the future is the limitation

duced enough of metallic coin. The
fact that today over one-fourth of the
money of the world is uncovered paper
money proves this.
AN OBJECTION ANSWERED..
"But suppose tho fears of our alarmist
friends are realized and that nature, in
stead Of exposing her silver treasure as
she has done IN the past gradually and
progressively to meet the wants Of the
world money. should expose it in large
abundance, is this not matter OF easy
control? The mines of the future are
in the ungranted mineral lands OF this
country and in Mexico, for remember
that Mexico and the United States pro-
duce two-thirds of the silver Of the
world. Will it not be easy to limit those
grants either by exacting royalty or by
total withdrawal so that silver stores of
the future may not be unduly drawn
upon for the present, and that the calm
and equal production OF silver commen-
surate with it's use may be established
and secured?
1--WE claim that the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio of l6 to by this coun-
try is practicable; that it will restore the
old relative value of silver and gold;
release this country from dependence
upon foreign gold; impair the competi-
tive efficiency of the cheap labor OF
silver standard countries; restore the
value OF our agricultural products with
which we pay our debts abroad, and
save this country from manufacturing
competition that will prove destructive.
"And with the change will come be-
nefcent results, not only to the pro-
ducers but to the banking, mercantile
and railroad interests, which are now 80
steadily opposing US. They will realize
that their prosperity is based upon the
general prosperity Of the entire country.
and that the prosperity Of this country
cannot continue so long as debtors and
producing nations recognize gold as the
only money metal and by their action
build up its value and increase its con-
troll over the products of labor.

Der If care and good judgment was used
in the selection of ticket.
The convention then adjourned to 8
O'Clock this morning.

A Fargo special to the Minneapolis
Journal, IN reference to the independent
convention at Fargo and contemplated
fusion, says:
1.-THE fusion ticket insures one of the
hottest fights ever made in the state :.
The remarkable increase in the free
silver sentiment over this state will make
it hard fight for the republicans il the
the fusion candidates are in any degree
popular men,"

AS Others See 1t.

A staff correspondent OF the Mlnne-
apolis Tribune, writing from Grand
Forks, thus sizes up the result of the
republican state convention and the out
look for fusion in this state this fall:
The democrats of North Dakota are
almost as we'll pleased over the republi-
can ticket as are the republicans. This
does not mean that the republicans are
displeased or dissatisfied with Briggs
ct sl., outside OF Grand Forks county,
but it leaves the populist free silver sec.
tion in the Red River valley free to their
influence. OF course, they magnify the
Importance of the bad blood stirred up
by the defeat of Bulge and they are not
backward in claiming the Bulge influ-
ence for their ticket in November. Mr..
Bulge is quoted as saying, in the lobby
of the hotel Dacotah, that he would not
vote for single candidate on the repub.
icsn ticket and Budge's friends are loud
in their threats to knife the ticket.
This may blow over in few days, but
there is no doubt the old jealousy be-
tween Grand Forks and Fargo will come
into the coming campaign in larger
way than during sny Of the previous
elections. The one man upon whom
more than any other candidate will fall
the weight by this local rivalry will be
George E. Nichols of Csss county, can.
didate for state treasurer. It is claimed
that Nichols was directly responsible for
the Bulge boom IN the first place in that
he encouraged Bulge to come out for
governor, and assured him that Cass
county would stand by him. Nichols
either could not or would not deliver the
goods and now they are out for Nichols
scalp.
All this makes the democrats and in
dependents very confident. They say
the vote against the silver resolution
introduced by ex-senator Stevens in
the convention will prevent any
attempt on the part of the republican
orators to trim on the issue. They must
fight for the gold issue whether they will
or not.
A conference was held between COM
mittees representing the democrats and
independents. As result of the con-
ference the democrats will probably be
given the governor and the populists the
member of congress. On the other offices
there was nothing definite except that
John Burke, who ran for the same Office
before, is talked Of for attorney general,
and some Grand Forks democrat is to be
nominated for state treasurer. The
democrats are anxious to nominate
w. G. Leistikow for governor. He is an
ultra silver man, and has been such for
a long time. He is wealthy and splen-
did business man. For congress the
populists are talking Of nominating DR..
Bentley of Bismarck.

Senator Butler. The indignant North
Dakotsn declared the sum and substance
OF the caucus was to organize bolt
from the convention. There were cries
of "Put bin OUT" "He's a traltor;;' "He's
Bryan man." But the delegate stood
firm. "Stump" Ashby of Texas. chair
man OF the caucus, explained to the in
quisitive delegate that the meeting was
not for the organization OF bolt. 'Let
me tell you," he said, 'that If there is
any bolt it will not be made by the
middle of the road men. 1t will be the
Bryan men who will bolt, not the popu-
liets."
NO HURRY.
Judge G. R. Scott of Omaha, upon a
motion to adjourn the national silver
convention being made. said there was
no hurry. 'It took the republicans one
week to marry Grover Cleveland and it
should take at least az long as that to
divorce the people from him."

Not Safe to Trust.

The Al delegates who represented
Grand Forks county in the republican
state convention are very much disgusted
with the course pursued by the political
bosses Of their party in taking up man
who did not want the Office and noml-
mating him over the unanimous choice of
the Grand Forks delegation and the
most prominent candidate for the place
after Gov. Allin was forced to withdraw,
says the Grand Forks Piaindealer. The
delegation from here is not the only one
that is sore; the entire northern portion
of the state is included in the rundown.
and it there was any question before that
the candidate of the opposition was
liable to be defeated that idea was dis
PEELED. The northern part Of the state will
do the work for the ticket that will make
it winner without shadow of doubt.
The head of the ticket Is not the only
one that will suffer. Judge Wallin and
George E. Nichols, both Of Cass county,
and candidates for supreme judge and
state treasurer, will be the special target
of the dissatisfied republicans. Wallin
will have the hardest kind of time to
keep in sight of the head of the ticket
and in Grand Forks alone neither
men will get tenth of the republican
support. The delegates refer to the
action of Walsh county four years ago
as precedent OF what may be accom-
plished by boiling the nomination and
supporting some other ticket. The cleo
tion of the full opposition ticket is
assured now beyond all question. The
gang who can run q convention with 60
high hand as did the one which now
controls the republican state convention
is not safe to trust with the affairs Of q
great state like North Dakota.
The Grand Forks Boilers.
After A. Nj. Packard of Mandan had
nominated Frank A. Briggs for governor
at the Grand Forks convention E. G.
Cooper of Grand Forks, asked the chair
man for the privilege of addressing the
convention. The request was granted
and for five minutes the Grand Forks
alderman told the delegates what was
what in no uncertain manner. He stated
that the convention was courting defeat
by turning down Grand Forks county
and Bulge and SAID that the delegation
from that county had decided to remain
the convention without taking any
partin the following proceedings refusing
to vote further. MIR. Cooper was given
an ovation when he finished and Barnes
county at once announced that the feel
ing Of that county was expressed in the
remarks by Mr.. Cooper.

The Latest on Dit.

Sons gentlemen who have recently
been in Washington bring to town inter-
esting stories regarding q renewed inti-
macy between Senators Tillman and Irby.
They ever say that the junior and senior
REPRESENTATIVES from South Carolina in
the upper House may any day be seen
doing the Damon and Pythias act in the
restaurants near the Capitol and about
town. All of which will be "news" to
many people in this State. It will be
"news'5 to the Anti Tillmanites, who had
reioiced with a great joy when the two
leaders recently fell out in the Constitu-
tional Convention, and 1t may be very
disagreeable ''news" to q John Gary
Evans, up in Columbia, training himself
for the race for Irby's seat, and who
erstwhile chuckled a great, wicked po-
litical chuckle over the estrangement be-
tween the two giants of Reform.
It will be remembered that Tillman and
Irby had some pretty high words In the
Constitutional Convention, and since
that each Of the Senators has been walk
ing around with knife up his sleeve for
the other. Senator Tillman was suppos-
ed to be coaching his man Evans for
Irby's shoes, and Irby was supposed to
know and resent it. But il the stories
that are waited on every breeze from the
North be true, the Ratchet has been
buried, the cigar of peace has been smok-
ed and the iovial glass OF reconciliation is
passing rapidly backwards and forwards
between the persons to whom Senatorial
courtesy refers as 'the gentlemen from
South Carolina" How much truth there
is in the rumored alliance no one may
say. Washington dispatches have report
Ell that the Senators did not speak to one
another any more, but that Is evidently
an error, for the latest on dit has it that
they are once more cheek byjowl.-News
