Resolution Reported to the House.


There was great deal of activity
among the leaders of both sides before
the house met today, in anticipation of
an exciting debate over the Teller reso-
luton, which those in control had de-
cided to defeat before the sun went
down tonight. Mr.. Dingley, chairman
of the ways and means committee, re-
ported back the resolution with the rec
omendation ''that it do not pass Mr..
Henderson GowD presented the special
order agreed upon by the committee on
rules, providing for a vote without any
intervening motion at 5 o'clock today.
The rule was adopted by, a vote of 143 to
115. To all suggestions that the time be
divided between the Democrats, Popu-
lists and Republicans, Mr.. Dingley re-
torted, Il am not aware that there is
any distinction between the Populists
and Democrats as at present consti-
tuted." He said the time would be
equally divided between those for and
those against the resolution.
Mr.. Dingley Opened the Debate.
Mr.. Dingley opened the debate in OPP
position to the resolution. He contend
ed that the resolution, when adopted in
1878, was interpreted by many to mean
something very different from what it
must mean now.
Mr. Bailey, in control OF the time for
the minority, yielded to several Demo-
Gratis, Mr.. Bland making one of the
principal speeches. Tsc called attention
to the votes of prominent Republicans
against the bill to pay bonds in gold
when the matter came up in the last
house. Mr.. Hopkins (Rep. Ill.) said the
senate was not Republican, but was con-
trolled by the free silver element. and
the country had pronounced against the
silver sentiment.
Always Stood for Honest Money.
The debate has progressed without a
sensational incident. Mr.. Grosvenor
(Rep. OhiO) maintained that the Repub-
lican party has always stood for ''honest
money!"
Teller Resolution Defeated,
At the close Of the debate the final
vote was taken, which resulted in the
defeat of the resolution by 1872 ayes to
to 1872 nays.

British Prestige in the Orient Impaired
Bomb Explosion in Havana Intense
Heat in Australia.

Pckin, Jan. 3l.-It is supposed that
Great Britain's withdrawal from Port
Arthur and ceasing to exert pressure
for the opening of Port Ia Lien Wan,
which actions are regarded here as sui
cidal to the British interests and pres
tige. were owing to her disbelief in the
existence of a secret treaty between
Russia and China. The Chinese govern
ment, however, quotes this treaty as the
reason for Russia's presence at Port Ar
thur, and Russian dispatches to the Tsung
Ii Yamen allege that the occupation OF
Port Arthur is in accordance with that
treaty.

CEMENT coMpASY's CONTEST.
'Stockholdsr in the Hope Plaster Co.
Brings Q Salt.

= A suit has been brought in the U.
S. federal court at Topeka concerning
the Kansas Cement 4 Plaster Co. Of
Hope, this county. According to the
petition in the case, filed by Otto B.
English, stockholder, the Hope COM
pany and the Wymore, Nebraska.
Plaster Co. were rivals. He says the
Kansas company did a good business
until the Nebraska concern, which
had mure money boughta controlling
interest in its capital stock. Then
the business Of the Kansas concern
began to fall off rapidly, and its prop
erty to depreciate.
According to English, the Kansas
company had a capital Of $4,000,
divided into 800 shares. The Nebras-
ka company, through its officers, j.
c. Burch and c. B. Rodgers, acquired
220 OF the shares, or at least claims
that number, for English speaks Of it
as pretended purchase. The plant
was mortgaged to the Nebraska COM
pany for $7,8S7.6S. Its total value is
placed at $l7, 900, in its present con-
dition, but English asks the court to
find that it had been improperly han
died and allowed to run down ia the
interest Of the Nebraska company,
and to appointa receiver to protect
the interests Of himself and John M.
Birchell, of Missouri, the minority
stockholders.
Judge Foster decided to hear testi-
mony before acting and set the mat
ter for hearing, July 9.

The only Abilene boy really taking
part in this war is Edward Hover,
who Judged that the fighting would
be on the sea and enlisted in the navy
at Mobile. He is marine on the

leading part in the tombardment Of
Santiago. A letter written June 2
and postmarked at Tampa June 81
was received by bis mother today. 1t
is very interesting and is as follows
ON BOARD THE MARBLEHEAD, Guam
tanamo, Cuba, June 2.-Dearest
mother: l know that you are greatly
worried in not hearing from meefor SO
dong but 1t could not be avoided and
lam not BY any means certain as to
whether you will get this or not as |
am giving 1t to man on board a dis
patch boat and he has promised to
mail it at the first port they touch.
We are not allowed to communicate
with anyone as they do not want any
one to know of our movements and il
they allowed us to write it would be
bound to leak out and get in the
papers. When left Mobile and went
to Tampa / expected to be put on "a
ship called the Monitor but we ar
rived there too late SO we we're put on
the Marblehead, and instead of being
in the navy were mustered into the
marines. We are expecting hourly
to be sent on land to capture a small
fort on the bay and expect will have
rather hot time of it. tits reported
here that 10000 troops under Shafter
have sailed from Tampa and we are
going to take a place so that they can
land. | do not want you to be wor-
ried about me for | feel almost GER
tain that l will come out OF it all
right.
We are having some pretty hot
times and have been down to the en-.
trance 10 the harbor Of Havana sew
eral times. | tell you it is a sight
never to be forgotten to see the big
battleships shelling the towns along
the coast. 1t is simply grand beyond
description.
We were detailed to scout along
the coast just below Santiago de Cuba
and after we ran along the coast for
about 20 miles we saw what we
thought were fresh earthworks and
ran in a little closer to investigate
when suddenly there was a solid
CLEAN Of fire and shells landed all
around US. Strange to say was not
frightened in the least, and, still
stranger, not shot struck our ship.
Well, must be closing as the dis
patch boat is about ready 20 leave and
it is the last chance | have to write.
lido not know how long it will be be-
fore | can write again but will write
at every opportunity.
II you never hear from me again re-

try. loving son,
