CALLED A pop MEASURE.
Senator Chandler so Charaoterizes the
Election of U. S. Senators by
the People.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Chand-
Ter and Mr.. Mitchell (Rep., Ore.) had a
brief tilt at 2 o'clock when the resolu-
lions for the election of United States
senators by popular vote came up as a
special order. Mr.. Chandler said he
hoped this 'PopUlist proposition" had
had its day, and he was surprised to
hear it urged by the Oregon senator.
When it came to a vote he hoped to
see Mckinley Republicans, silver Re
publicans. Bryan Democrats and Pal
mer- Buckner Democrats all vote
against this plan. leaving only the
RopuIsts to support it,"
Mr.. Mitchell dissented from the idea
that it was a Pop" proposition. It
had come from a Republican commit
tee and would receive more than half
the Republican votes of the senate. Mr.
Mitchell said the resolution could go
over but he would urge it to a vote
at the first opportunity
Mr.. Quay arose and remarked sug-
gestively that the Oregon senator
should not push his resolution, for there
might be developments in his (Quay's)
state which would assist the theory of
the resolution, so that a little delay
might aid its prospects.
The immigration bill was then taken
up and unanimous consent was given
that a final vote be taken next Thurs
day at 4 p. m.
The senate then returned to private
pension bills on the calendar and after
passing 55 bills of this character the
senate, at 1886 p m, held a brief exec
utive session and adjourned

UP to now the stockholders represent

DepeW is a rich man. He has been

Feeling Against Spain In Amer

Brother of Senator WOlcOtt
Sends Encouragement.

New York, Dec. 15.-From all parts
Of the United States, from Mexico and
from Paris kilograms We're received
yesterday by the Cuban junta and by
prominent Cubans in New York in
which the correspondents expressed
their sympathy for free Cuba and of
fered financial assistance to the men
who We're fighting for liberty. One of
the most ardent writer's was Herbert
W. Wolcott, chairman of the Cuban
American league, of Cleveland. and a
brother of United States Senator Vol
colt.
In his communication to Fidel G.
Pierrera, Mr.. WOlcOtt said the
American born citizens of Cleveland
We're intensely indignant and repro
Dlated the murder OF MaceO and his
staff. Money, Mr.. Wolcott said, was
coming in faster than at any time
since the war began, and if men were
wanted there would be no trouble in
recruiting more than one regiment.
The junta would not be asked to ex-
pend dollar of its funds for ammu-
milton nor men.
Several former officers of the civil
war had offered to go with the enlist
ed men. The feeling seems strong
against Spain, as evidenced by com
munications received here. It is
stated by prominent Cubans that if
vessels can be got out of this country
it will be only few days before many
thousands of arms and many chests of
ammunition Will be landed within the
insurgent lines
W. B. Galbraith. the librarian of the
state library, asked Mr.. Pierrera as to
the shipping of arms and men to Cuba.
Mr.. Galbraith said the people of that
city were thoroughly in earnest and
that they could be counted upon for
larger subscriptions than ever before.
In this city funds have been pouring in
to aid the Cuban cause and many in
quiries are being made of the Cuban
officials as to the best way of getting
funds and supplies to the Cubans.

Divorced Husband of the Notorious
Wichita Woman Tries to Murder
Her

Kansas City, Dec. &c. A Open
heimer of Wichita, Kan, was arrested
about 1890 last night while making a
strenuous effort to carry out an impress
sion in his mind that he and Dixie Lee,
the keeper of a disreputable house,
should die together. Oppenheimer and
the Lee woman were formerly husband
and wife
Dixie Lee said last night that Open
heimer is broke and has been pursuing
her for money, which she refuses to
give him.
Yesterday she learned that he was
near her house and she telephoned to
central police station for an officer.
Hayes and Halpin were sent out to
watch Oppenheimer, but he had left
the vicinity of the house and could
not be located. They received word
about 10 o'clock that Oppenheimer was
lurking in the alley in the rear of the
Lee house. and arrived there to see
him climbing over a rear fence, re-
vOlVer in hand. The detectives leaped
the fenced after Oppenheimer and
caught him just as he was making good
Roadway through a back door. He
made a fight, but was soon oVerpOw-
cred and led away to the station. where
a dirk was also found on him.

Public Reception to be Held for the
President-EIect

Canton, O.. Dec. 15.-H. S. Moses and
Joseph A BOur, representatives of the
Canton Business Mems association. call
ed on Maj. Mckinley today to consult
with him in regard to having him the
guest Of honor at the annual BANQUET
Of the association which is usually held
early in January.
After considering the matter and CON
versing on kindred topics it was thought
advisable to give all the people, without
regard to business or political connec-
tons, an opportunity to extend farewell
words to the president-elect before he
goes to Washington TO be inaugurated.
To the end that all men may have a
part who desire it, the reception will be
held In such a manner and at such a
place viii give the public the privi-
lege of taking leave of their distinguish
ed fellow townsman in as informal a
way as possible.
The reception is to be under the direc-
ton Of the Business Mems association
and viii be held shortly before Major
Mckinley leaves for Washington The
place Of holding the reception is also
undecided, but hotel viii probably be
chosen.

Failed Pennsylvania Banks We're

HOllidaysb Pa, Dec. 15-The clos
ing of the Hollidaysburg, Martinsburg
and Williamsburg banks, it is said, was
due principally to the withdrawal of
the deposits of the Pennsylvania rail-
way ten days ago. The banks retail
ated by refusing to cash the checks of
railroad employees when they were pre-
scented.
The Pennsylvania company last week
ran their pay ear over the several
branches centerfng here There was a
banking department aboard the carand
the employees received their money
without going to the banks. The re-
suit of this contention between the
railway company and the banks was a
steady run on the institutions by the
minor depositors and they succumbed

the run for seven days The average
deposits in the three banks was $3.50
