NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. VOTE
LEGISLATURE BEGINS BALLOTING
FOR VARIOUS CANDIDATES.
GORMAN MAY HAVE A CHANCE.
Present Incumbent Was Leading on First
Round, But Republicans Are Badly
Split as to Choice.

The first ballot in the Maryland leg
islature for successor TO Arthur p.
German in the United States senate
was taken at Annapolis Tuesday, each
branch balloting separately with the
following result:
McComas, "a; Shew, IL; Shyrock,
3; Findlay, 2; Parran, 81: Mulliken, /;
Barber, 9; Urno, 1 1; German, 43; Lown-
des, l; Page, l, Total, 100, Neces-
sary to a choice, SO.
The candidates are Judge Louis f.
McComas, of Washington county; Ma
jor Alexander Shaw, General Thomas
j. Shyrock, ex-Congressman V. Find.
lay, oil Of Baltimore city; Thomas
Parran, Colonel j. G. Mulliken, Con-
gresham Isaac A. Barber and Milton
g. Turner.
But one ballot was taken and this
leaves the situation as much involved
in uncertainty as il was before the
voting began. The preliminary Skin
mishing has been attended with great
bitterness and dissension in the ranks
Of the republicans, who have a con-
siderable majority in both houses.
These dissensions have rendered IL
impossible TO bring about republic
can caucus and there seems to be lit
tie probability that this method OF set
thing the dispute will be resorted to
in the near future.
The first break in the republican
ranks came two weeks ago, when
eleven members of the house delegates
from Baltimore city refused TO caucus
on the speakership and by effecting a
coalition with the democrats elected
one Of their own number to that Office.
Numerous attempts have since been
made TO get the seceders back in line,
but they remain in their position.
Without at least two of their number
The republicans are poweress to elect
any one and with the aid OF the demo-
cratic vote the faithful eleven" as
they have been nicknamed, may at any
time elect man Of their own choos-
ing, or cause deadlock until the end
Of the session. With this possibility
in view the democrats are using every
possible means to foment the discord.
Such situation naturally gives rise
to all manner of conjecture and specu-
lation and there are many who believe
that it may yet be possible for Senator
German to succeed himself, il he can
carry the next Legislature election in
November. 1899. This possibility is,
however, admitted by the democratic
leaders to be very remote one.

TELLER RESOLUTION PRESENTED
Provides For Payment of Bonds In silver
A Well A Gold.

A Washington dispatch says: The
senate committee on finance voted
Tuesday to report the Teller resolution
declaring for the payment of national
bonds in silver as we'll as gold. The
vote stood to 5.
The resolution is practically the
same as the Stanley Matthews resolu-
ton adopted some years ago.
In accordance with notice previously
given Mr.. Hale, Maine, called up the
urgent deficiency bill. The bill as it
passed the house carried 81, 74l, Si3;
as it was reported to the senate it car
ries 81, 1871, 1928, an increase of $780,
$50.
The bill carrying 81, $40 was
passed after few amendments were
made.
The army appropriation bill was
passed by the house, at Tuesdays
session, and the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill taken up.
The minority served notice that they
proposed to debate our foreign rela-
tions exhaustively.

DISCUSSED CUBAN NATTER.
Purity Lines Ars Closely Drawn In Con.
gresstcnal Debate.

! A Washington special says: All day
long Wednesday the question OF grant.
ing belligerent rights to the Cuban
insurgents was argued in the house.
but as on the previous day, the minori.
ty hurled itself against o stone wall.
In the only vote taken during the
day-a motion designated TO override
the decision of the speaker and direct
the committee on foreign affairs 10
report without further delay the Cuban
resolution passed by the senate at the
last session-the republicans stood
solid and voted to sustain the chair.
The galleries we're banked to the
doors and there was considerable ey.
element throughout the early part of
the session, when the members of the
minority were successfully pressing
all sorts OF amendments bearing on
the Cuban question for the purpose of
embarrassing the majority.
During the debate Chairman Hit, OF
the foreign affairs committee, made an
impressive speech explaining at length
ING SltuHtlOH WHICH iuhue uCtlOn DIV
congress inadvisable. He spoke with
mpassioned words of the presidents
sympathy with the struggle for Cuban
independence and the achievements of
the present administration.
The release Of American prisoners
in Cuba, the recall Of Weyler, the
abandonment of the policy of concen-
tration and the autonomy scheme he
attributed to the firm attitude of the
president, and contrasted these results
with the inaction of the last admins
tration. He averred that belligerent
rights could not aid the insurgents
cause and perhaps the most dramatic
portion Of his speech came when he
declared that the insurgents only
wished for belligerent rights in the
hope and belief that this country
would be embroiled in q war with
Spain, which would give them their
freedom with our triumph. He assert.
ed that the president must assume the
responsibility Of any action which
might eventuate in war and appealed
to both sides of the chamber to patri-
otically support the executive il a

INACCURATE WAR HISTORY
Causes Atlanta Confederate Veterans to
Register an Emphatic Kick,

okbeor an Emphatic Kick.
Camp l69 Of the Confederate veter.
ans association of Fulton county, Ga.
at recent meeting, denounced in q
decided manner q. history of tho civil
war written by President Benjamin
Andrews, OF Brown university, II. 1.
Colonel "Tip" Harrison, chief clerk
IN the comptroller generals office,
arose with a book in hand. He re-
quested the attention Of the camp and
said that the book he was holding con.
tanned history of the civil war and
was written by Benjamin Andrews, OF
Brown university. He said that some
time ago q book agent came to him
and said that he had history of the
war for sale that would please the
southern people.
Many histories OF the war had been
written, but they were nearly all col
ored with northern sentiments and
prejudices and did not give a fair ac-
count OF the war. Inasmuch IA the
yalor and achievements OF tho south
ern forces had never been given in
their true light he wanted to put on
the market book that would do Just
ice to the confederate soldiers.
After such statement Of the book
agent Mr.. Harrison purchased vol
ume. He naturally began TO read the
book with great interest. He got to
the famous battle OF Vicksburg, and
among other things he read that Grant
had marched 100 miles in an incredi.
bly, short time, whipped the confeder-
ates in four successive engagements
and swept the field, making u record
brilliant as Napolean's.
When Mr.. Harrison had read this
description Of the fight he saw at once
that the agent had misrepresentcd tho
nature OF the book and that another
piece Of historical literature had been
added to the already large list that is
giving an erroneous conception Of the
war to the younger generation in the
south.
Mr.. Harrison read the account Of
the battle Of Vicksburg to the camp,
and many Of the veterans who had
been there during the war at once saw
that the account was grossly inaccu-
rate. The veterans were very much
stirred up that such history should
be foisted on the people Of this section
as fair and impartial account Of the
war.
The following resolution was offered
and adopted;
Resolved, That the camp authorize
Mr.. Harrison to vanquish that author
in an article refuting his statements,
and to thank him in advance for 80
doing"
Colonel w. A. Hemphill moved that
Mr.. Harrison be authorized to send .
copy Of his article to the publisher and
author of the book with the official
endorsement Of the camp. This was
carried.

Taylor Runs Last.
A Nashville dispatch says: The DEM
ocratic caucus to nominate candidate
for United States senator met Wednes.
day night and took seven ballots with.
out result. There was no material
change in the ballots, McNIillin re-
ceiving within six votes of enough to
nominate, and Senator Turley running
second with thirty votes.
The magic of Governor Taylor's
name failed to cause the stampede so
confidently predicted by his friends,
and he received the same nineteen
votes on each of the seven ballots.
Every possible effort has been made
T. change the supporters Of McMillin,
but the men who voted for him are
stickers, and are certain to stand
by him. They are assured OF enough
votes to nominate whenever the break
comes, no matter whether Taylor or
Turley is the first TO Withdraw.
The larger number of votes would
come to McMillin from Taylor. but
enough would be received if Senator
Turley would get out of the way.

After all, schools arc the greatest
sivilizers, exclaims the New York Mail
and Express. Secretary Bliss, of the
Interior Department, reports 10000
Indian children enrolled in the schools
last year. Tribal relations are being
broken up and Indian lands divided
into severalty. The aborigine, how
ever, has not yet been educated up to
the point of holding on TO the land,
and as consequence it soon passes
into the hands OF his white brothers,
Notwithstanding the paternal restric-
tions thrown round him by the gov
eminent. The Indian has not yet
learned tho necessity of promptly
meeting taxes, and owing to his failure
to come to time with respect to this
exaction, considerable amount Of his
lands, in Minnesota, passed from him
last year. Until our red brother learns
that taxes are as certain as that other
certain thing, death, he should have
some special provision in law for his
protection.
