Received the FulI Republscnn
Strength of Thirty-seven I'm the sem
ate and Fifty-Two I'm the House.
VOORHEES, GETS FIFTY-EIGHT
POPULIsTs COULD MUSTER But SIX
VOTES IN BOTH HOUSES.
Flood Of Orntory InduIged I'm by
Members Of Both Branches in
Nominating Fairbanks.

Charles W. Fairbanks was yesterday
chosen a member OF the United States
Senate to succeed Daniel W. VOORHEES,.
Notwithstanding the fact that the election
was purely pro forma and the result was
we'll known to everybody beforehand. the
galleries OF the Senate and House were
crowded with people. who desired TO hear
the oratory incident TO the occasion. The
work Of electing senator occupied the
whole morning session OF the Senate and
no other business was transacted until aft
ernoon. The House was in session short
time and then took recess TO hear the
oratory in the Senate. Upon returning
TO its own chamber, il was followed by the
members of the Senate and the crowd.
Here the business of electing senator was
taken up at u O'Clock and lasted until l:30,
when the House adjourned for the day.
Every one OF the eighty-five Republican
votes in the Legislature was east for Mr..
Fairbanks and he will stand as one OF the
very few members of that body elected dur
ing the last few years who has had the
solid support of his party I'm the General
Assembly that elected him. All through
the contest for the senatorship within the
party spreading over the last two years,
there has never been a moments question
but that whoever should win the support
of the majority of the Republicans in eau
would get the solid Republican vote in
the Assembly. Even on the night Of the
Republican caucus a week ago. when
fifteen OF the members withdrew until their
contention for a secret ballot should be
granted, nobody familiar with the situation
had any doubt that there would be a solid
Republican vote when il came to election.
Notwithstanding the overtures from Demo-
cratic sources made i'm the effort TO cause
a bolt and thus create a demoralizing split
in the ranks of the party. Nobody voted
more heartily for MIR. Fairbanks yesterday
than the members who had been followers
of other candidates up to the time OF the
caucus. Mr.. Fairbanks received thirty
three votes in the Senate and fifty-two I'm
the House. a total of eighty-five. Mr..
Voorhees, received sixteen in the Senate
and forty-two in the House. a total OF
hfty-eight. Mr.. Temp.eton received one
vote in the Senate and five I'm the House.
a total of six.

AFTER MIR. THURSTON.
A Nebraska Legislator Wants the
Senator to Vote for Free silver.

LINCOLN Neb., Jan. Ex-senator Ran
son. of Douglas county, introduced to-day
a Joint resolution recitng speeches and
letters of Senator Thurston on the silver
question during the campaign of 1895. AT
that time Senator Thurston was quite an
earnest advocate of free coinage of ''the
American product" at an unStated ratio.
After quoting about 1000 words of the sem
ator utterances the joint resolutions calls
on him to now support and vote for any
and all measures that will bring about an
abandonment of existing gold mcnometal-
lism and that will result in a return to
bimetallism. He is hereby reminded that
we are not yet realizing financial prosper
ity under existing gold mono
metallism and we think now as he did be-
fore he Was elected and as he stated at the
time of ms election, that il is worth our
while to try the experiment of return TO
bin1qt lliSm.'

France want. an Arbitration Treaty

WASHINGTON, Jan. J9-It is learned at
the State Department that the only official
advance towards the consummation of a
general arbitration treaty made by any Eu-
ropean nation save Great Britain was that
contained in a resolution OF the French
Chambers, adopted in 1895, favoring the
conclusion of a permanent treaty or arbi-
tration with the United States copy OF
this supplied to the State Department
by United States ambassador Eustis and
this was gracefully acknowledged by Presl-
dent Cleveland in his annual message to
Congress in the fall of the same year. Be
yond this no steps were taken TO negotiate a
treaty and the subject has been allowed TO
remain in allegiance, just as the first sug-
gestion of an arbitration treaty with Great
Britain remained unacted upon for more
than year.

New Policy i'm Patenting Lands.

WASHINGTON. Jan. ia new policy in
the patenting of lands of the government
bond-aided railroads has been inaugurated
by Secretary Francis. looking to a greater
protection Of the interests of settlers. The
practice of The government for some time
has been to refuse to patent the lands Of
the Pacific ana all other bond-aided roads
except such lSnd as has been acquired by
bona fide purchasers from the railroad COM
pany. This heretofore has been done on the
sworn statements of two OF the company :
officers that the lands were sold for a Vaiu-
able consideration TO the designated bona
fide purchasers. The order under which this
practice was made has now been modlned
by Secretary Francis so as 10 require the
affidavit of the purchaser as Wen as the
road. Whenever il appears that the origi-
nal purchaser has died the present occupant
or owner, TO secure patent. must also now
file affidavit that he bought the land from
the bona fide purchaser. The first evidence
in accordance with the new attitude OF the
government has been filed by ;. w. Dow
ney president of the State University of
Wyoming, covering about $1,000 acres of
land. This has been held to be sufficient
and the lands will be patented.
