Washington, December 5.-Assistant

date for the United States Senate, as Is
shown by the following letter, address
ed in answer TO a communication from
the Hon. w. T. Thompson, Central
City, Neb., representative in the State
Legislature, inquiring if he were a
candidate:
Washington, December 1, 1898.
My Dear Thompson: have the hon
or to acknowledge your esteemed favor
of recent date, inquiring if l am or will
be candidate for United States Sena-
tor, to which | answer, no.
The South Platte territory is entl-
tied to a representative in the Senate
Of the United States, and the Republi-
cans should have no difficulty in max
ing choice from the many excellent
candidates who have already an
nounced themselves.
Above all things, desire Republican
success in Nebraska.
Personal ambition should always be
subservient to party interest, and
wise selection from this section of the
State will rebound to the advancement
of the party and become potent factor
in our politics.
With renewed assurances of high
esteem and consideration, l am
Yours very sincerely,

the galleries or on the floor.

PEACE CON TERENCE
Both Sides Report That Progress is
Making, But it is Apparently Slow.

Paris, December 5.-The American
peace commission held a long confer
ence beginning at ten o'clock a. m.
only held a brief recess for lunch be-
fore going to the foreign office to meet
the Spanish commissioners at o'clock
p. m.
The Americans apparently had
changed the form if not the substance
of some of their demands, as a result
of their deliberations during the past
three pays.
Secretary Moore, of the United States
commission was engaged far into the
night in drafting the treaty of peace.
The joint commission was in session
for over four hours. Much of the dis
cussion concerned details as to the
in the ceded colonies.
The debate was occasionally energet-
ic and the Spaniards on emerging ap-
peared to be detected.
Secretary Ojeda, of the Spanish COM
mission, when questioned after the
meeting as to the progress made, an
swered excitedly:
Il am almost mad. I cannot talk.
We are making progress"
The American commissioners de-
clined to say anything further than
that the progress made was satisfac-
tory.
The Sjanish commissioners have re-
ceived authority to bind their govern
ment on certain matters, but there are
yet important questions on which their
instructions are unsatisfactory and 1t
is likely that many of the details In
volved in the change of sovereignty in
the Spanish colonies will be left for
settlement in the regular diplomatic
process when relations between the
two governments are resumed.
The history of the document which
will certify the passing of the oldest
colonial power in the world and the
advent of the newest was epitomized
by Judge Day this evening in a single
sentence:
"A peace treaty can contain anything
which the victors put into it,
1t was given and taken in good spirit
and from that moment the proceeding
were entirely friendly.
US ScSSiOu accomplished nuCu.
Eight open questions were canvassed,
seven being practically settled without
noteworthy friction.
The commissioners declined to say
what conclusions were reached, but
the bargain for a coaling station in the
Carolines was not cemented, and, ac-
cording to present prospects. it is like
ly to fail. The temper of the Ameri-
cans in this matter is: We made you
a good offer for an island. You may
take it or leave it.
Spaniards seem disposed to leave it.
The Spaniards appear resigned to the
inevitable and now seem to realize that
their best policy is to save as much
from the wreck as their keenness In
raising technicalities can secure for
them.
The question of the status of the
Spaniards in the West Indies and the
Philippines who wish to remain there
was nearly settled, as well as certain
commercial questions involving the
rights of shipping under the Spanish
flag which will be given advantages

QUESTION OF CONFIDENCE
VIII Be Submitted by sagasta to the Queen
Regent,

Regent.
Madrid, December 5.-Immediately
after the signing of the treaty OF peace,
Senior SagaSta, the premier, will sub
nit to the Queen Regent a question of
confidence. 1t is thought probable that
her majesty will ask Senior Sagasta to
remain in power, in which case the
COrtes will be convoked for January Z.
From the declarations of Gen. Wey-
Ter, it is believed that union of the
followers of Senior Sagasta, Romero
Robledo and Gen. Weyler will be af-
fected as soon as peace is signed.
Gen. Weyler, in an interview, has
pronounced against the Conservatives,
declaring that Cuba was the only ques-
ton which separated him from the Lib
erals. He considers the internal crisis
grave, lin view of the attitude of Great
Britain, which by encouraging civil
war, desires to do with Spain what the
United States has done with her col
onies."
Under these circumstances, Gen.
Weyler added. he considers that
Sagasta- Robledo cabinet would be the
most able to cope with the situation.

The Child Reported to Have Been

Special to the Register.
New Martinsville. December x~sl
Later developments In the Sam Harri-
son investigation shows that the little
girl died OF spinal meningitis: that she
had lived with the Johnsons after tho
daughters marriage TO Sam Harrison
until a few weeks since. when Mrs.
Johnson died and she was sent to heR
mother. The death OF the child being
sudden, the grandfather Johnson be-
came suspicious and the minds OF the
neighbors became infamed, and charg-
ed Harrison OF numbering the child.
Prosecuting Attorney Il. Il. Robinson.
and DR.. J. d. Sehmeid. OF this city. as
sisted by DIR. Stone. OF Pine Grove, held
post mortem examination Saturday
afternoon, with the result that Harri.
son showed himself innocent OF any
crime whatever. There is no doubt but
what the matter will be aired In court.

three or four Of his neighbors. When
the prosecuting attorney and doctors
arrived at the Harrison home, they
found a large and curious crowd wait.

might remark that on the great lead
ing issue-which is and will be the par
amount questionable free coinage of
silver, the message is ominously silent,
but no proposition on the money Ques-
ton can be considered without at the
same time considering this question"
Representative Cummings, Dem,
New York:
ut is a clear, concise statement Of
facts without speculation, suggestion
or recommendation. | have an idea
that the real message will be sent in
hereafter"
Mr.. Richardson, Dem, Tennessee:
1.-THE President makes most in
teresting and satisfactory review OF
the Spanish war, but it is disappoint-
ing that he failed to tell us what we
are to do with the new possessions.
1t is just as appropriate now as it Will
be after the treaty of peace, for him
to tell us what is to be the future OF
the new territory. 1t might help to
get the treaty ratified if he had solved
that problem. 1t is interesting to note
the fact that three-fourths of the mes
sage relates to foreign affairs and less
than one-fourth to home matters.
Banking and currency and all financial
reform legislation, so properly prom
ised in 1896, got no mention and our
condition in respect to those matters
is to be left unchanged"
Representative Bailey, of Texas, the
Democratic leader, was called from the
House by the illness of his son, and
asked to be excused from expressing
his views on the message.

DECISION IN A VIRGINIA CASE.

Washington, December 5.-Justice
Brewer handed down an opinion in the
United States Supreme Court to-day.
reversing the opinion OF the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia in the
case of A. A. Mccullough VS.. the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
The case involved the validity of the
State laws concerning the State coup
ons issued under the act of 1871.
Mccullough rendered some of these
coupons in payment Of his taxes. They
were not accepted by the State au-
thorities and the State Supreme Court
sustained this refusal. To-day's opin-
on reversed this action of the State
court, holding that the coupons were
legal tender for taxes in the State.
Justice Peckham rendered a dissenting
opinion on the ground of want of jur-
isdiction.

Washington, December 5.-COngress

ed war against Spain, and now, with
the war fought and won, it came to-

however, one of immediate expectancy,

the momentous policies and problems
growing out of the war
AS usual, all Washington turned it's
attention to the capitol for that gala
event which marks the opening day of
a session. The weather imposed no
barriers, for the hurricane of yesterday
had given way to clearing skies and
balmy air. Long before the noon hour,
when the Senate and House began
their work. the corridors were filled
with surging crowds, centering in the
rotunda and statuary hall, and pushing
toward the private galleries. No evid
ences remained of the explosion and
fire which recently ravaged the build
ing.
BY II o'clock the leaders began to
make their appearance, and the public
galleries filled rapidly.
