was appointed To fill the vacancy, and his
confirmation is being industriously Iobbied
for by ex-United States Senator Manderson
and about a dozen other railroad lawyers
OF greater or less influence
Senator ThurSton has held up the nom-

to keep it hung up. He says his mission is
to build up the Republican party in Ne
braska, and he is going to prevent the
installation Of Democrats in official posi-
tion in that State wherever he can do So
McHugh is particularly offensive to him,
and the attention OF his fellow Sena-

from n Senatorial courtesy standpoint OF
an exUnited States Senator lobbying
against an incumbent Senator for the CON

The fight is attracting considerable at

THE TARIFF ON LUMBER.
The Ways and Means Committee
Puzzled by Conflicting Statements.

The Ways and Means Committee is in
something of quandary regarding the
lumber schedule. In support Of a demand
made for more protection the NoTthwestar arn
associations of lumbermen have made for
NAL statements as to the cost of prodIc-
tion in this country and they have cole cted
information as TO wages and prices in Can
ada, whichthey supplements d wit Ii declara-
tions regarding the coming of Canadian
workingmen to the woods and mills of this
country during the working seasons to ob-
tain employment.
On the other hand, it is claimed by the
representatives from the agricultural
States that are interested in the lowest
possible price for lumber that the state
mentS of the great difference between
cannot be accurate, for the reason that
if the great difference in wages existed
there would be stampede of working
men from Canada to this country and the
wages in the woods and mills of the lum.
Der district could not be maintained
These conflicting opinions have left some
OF the committeeman who are at work on
the bill in doubt. and request has gone
out to some of the leading lumber asso-
Citations OF the Northwest asking them
to send committee OF well known and re-
sponsible men to Canada to investigate
the question of wages and prices and
make report to the committee

SHERMAN HAsNoT WITHDRAWN
4 Positive Statement as to His Ac-

y Positive Statement as to His Ac-
ceptance OF a Cabinet Place.
Senator Sherman has once for all set
at rest the gossip predicated on his alleged
intention of Withdrawing his acceptance
of the portfolio of Secretary of State
In an interview she said, yesterday:
MY acceptance OF the portfolio of Secre
tary Of State was without any reservations
or conditions. Gov. Bushnell has about
six weeks yet before it will be necessary
to appoint my successor in the Senate.
There seems to be a general desire that
Mr. Hanna should be selected for the seat,
and, while I have no assurance on that
point, L believe that Gov. Bushnell will
appoint him.
Senator Sherman's belief that Mr. Hanna
will come to the Senate as his successor
is shared by nearly all the Republican
leaders in Washington who are familiar
with political conditions in the Buckeye
State. The efreqUentreportsw which emanate
from Cleveland that Senator-elcct Fora
ker is on the war-path and is determined
to prevent the selection of Mr.. Hanna for
the Senate are pronounced by them to be
utterly groundless.

announces the arrival of the battleship
Oregon at Acapulco on the Gath instant
after successful voyage of $50 miles
without stop from San Francisco, whence
she sailed, January Is. An averag ge
speed of over eleven knots was maintained,
which the naval experts consider excellent
for the distance from a base of supplies, the
vessel having been designed for coast de-
fense solely, and therefore never expected

The leading stocks all advanced Ia TO
"a per cent. AS usual, there were rea-
sons given by the talent for the advance,
and, as usual, they may or may not have
been the real ones. There Is a rumor, uIl-
confirmed, of course. by the railroad peo-
pie here, that should the reorganization
committee of the Union Pacific succeed
to the property through the agreed-upon
foreclosure their next move will be to gain
control of the Central Pacific. This will
force Mr.. Huntington to show his hand,
and as pretty a scrap as the railroad
world has seen for many a day will be
on. Back of this runar is thought to stand
the Vanderbilt interest, whose one desire
is to connect ocean with ocean by a line of
rails. So says ]. R. willard 6 Co.'S private
correspondent. Very pretty, indeed. it is,
but all this rumor is based on the supposi-
tion that Mr.. Huntington is out OF it il
foreclosure occurs. The opinion is obtain
ing more weight every day that Mr. Hun
tington will not be out of it, no matter
how the U. z. troubles are decided.

question OF whether or not concurrent reso-

upon the mere form of the resolutions, but
upon the fact whether they contain matter
which is properly to be regarded as legis-
lative in its character and effect.
Ii they do, they must be presented to
the President for his approval; otherwise
they need not be. In brief, the nature or
