HON. AoUILA NEBEKER,

Hon. Aquila Nebeker, president of
the last state senate, said he deplored
the statements. He could assign no
reason for their being uttered by
President Woodruff. What we want
in this state is the same system Of
American politics which prevails in
other states. We want the two great
parties to grapple with the issues
which interest the people, and settle
them as they do elsewhere. We want
the old bitterness removed; and L tell
you that the people of this state are
going to settle them in that way re-
gardless of interference by the Mormon
church, or any other church, and when
the time comes to vote we will snow
the opponents of an American policy
under so deep that they Will not know
themselves. say to you that the peo
pie of Utah, as people, are honest in
their desire to wipe out the bitter past
and they are going to do it. You don't
need any Liberal party Just now. Just

selves and they will settle all of it,

the remarks of the president, Mr.. Can
non thought was owing to a slip of the
tongue. Anybody was liable to make
a slip of that kind, and when President

considered, it was surprising that his
utterances were as clear and lucid as
they we're.

Gratis who fought the battle of 1896

should be the test. 1 cannot see how
the Democrats who supported the Chi

To Reorranixe Committees.

Washington, April 9.-The committees
representing respectively the republican
and democratic sides of the senate today
resumed their effort to secure an agree
ment for the reorganization of the senate
committees. The republicans have gone
to work with the serious intention of re-
organizing the senate committees, but in
doing this they find many things to CON
slider. The tariffs giving the repu bill
cans more concern than anything else.
They do not feel certain that they will
be able to proceed with this bill. They
feel that if they do not take the matter in
hand the bill will be seriously in danger.
Several democrats have warned the re-
publicans that there may be obstruction
to the bill unless the committees are re-
organized. The silver republicans may
also jeopardize the bill by inaugurating
an unseemly wrangle on it's presentation
to the senate. Such satisfactory progress
has been made as to warrant the predic-
| ton that reorganization would be &C
complished Notices were ordered sent
to the republican senators, asking them
to specify what committees they prefer

with the Montgomery handicap as the
central figure. Col. Lewis Clark, presid-
ing judge, and Kit Chinn, the starter,

but little sign of his recent illness. j.
e. Madden's crack 2-year-old, Rowland,
will meet William Michigan and NJ. r.
Dryers BannOckburn, which Michigan
claims is the best colt he ever trained,
in the second event. The third attrac-
ton to be decided is the Montgomery
handicap. Meadowthorpe, Souff1e, Ty-
phoOn and Leaureate are about equal
choices in the betting tonight.

have the mount of Souffle, and Murphy IS

passenger on the Olivette, which left port
late last night. The major is on his way
to Washington on special mission.
Small detachments of Spanish troops
stationed on the banks of the San Juan
river were compelled, on account of a
scarcity of food and water, to retire on
Cauto. While so doing they were sur
rounded by strong force and compelled
to surrender. Six armed insurgents have
surrendered at Niquero.
The chief of police has rebuked an
agent here of the Heraldo of Madrid
for selling copies of that paper without
having previously passed them through
the hands of the censor.
The insurgents continue to hold the
town of Banes and it is reported the en-
trance is closed with torpedoes.
Eighteen political prisoners have. ar
rived here OH the steamer COmeta from

Capt. Gen. Weyler has changed his

was decorated in honor of the captain
general. While Gen. Weyler is engaged
in the work of purifying the government
opposition to him continues.
The surrender of insurgents in Santa

have not surrendered are being pursued
night and day with the object, the
Spaniards say, of compelling Gen.

Where one Of these bodies is supposed

Frankfort, KY, April 9.-Interest in
the senatorial struggle has begun TO
wane and it becomes more and more evil
dent that neither Hunter nor Blackburn
will retire in the interest of any COM
nromise candidate whom their respective
parties desire to place in the field Hence
with the legislature dead-locked and the
gold democrats and boiling republicans
holding the balance of power, the strug.
gle will doubtlessly drift on to the end
of the session.
The Blackburn men were today again
endeavoring to break n quorum, but were
unsuccessful.
The twenty-ninth ballot resulted
Blackburn, 45; Hunter, SO; others scat
tering.
On the second ballot Representative
Baldwin, one of the boiling republicans
made an imprisoned speech and changed
his vote to Hunter. This caused the as
sembly to go wild, and for time i
looked as if Hunter would be elected
without difficulty.
| The ballot resulted Hunter, 63; Black
burn, 45; Martin, 10; Doyle, g.
| The joint session adjourned at 2:2'
without result.
The return of Baldwin, one of tn
boiling republicans, to the Hunter rank
has had the effect of putting every Hun
ter man to work again and raising tn
spirits Of the nominee.
1t is not known tonight whether tn
gold democrats will or will not vote TO
Hunter, but it is expected they wi
answer roll calls in order to ensure
quorum, thus forcing the Blackburn den
