FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE
Received the information With Evident satisfac-
 -MOrgan's View of Il.

Washington, Jan. 2i.-The first intimation that the members of the senate committee on foreign relations had of the orders to the Maine was given in a telegraphic press bulletin. They received the information with evident satisfaction. Senator Frye said that the action was eminently satis- factory to him. Senator Gray said 1t was very popular to have warships in Havana for the protection of American interests. Senator Morgan said that Germany hao shown the Europeans way by sending her warships to Havana, and was evidently badgering this government in this matter
 Senator Foraker was particularly pleased to hear the news. He said he wished the Texas and the other vessels of the squad ron would be ordered to follow the Maine.
 Senator Cullom said: 'T am glad to hear it. I hope the Maine will be followed by other vessels
 Senator Teller said he would like to see the harbor of Havana filled with American ships.

 ecutiye Committee.

Augusta, Ga., Jan. A.-W. H. Stallings received the indorsement of twenty-seven of the forty members of the Richmond county republican executive committee for the postmastership of Augusta at meet ing held for that purpose tonight. Two meetings were held, the first being called to order by P. H. Craig colored, chairman of the committee.
 The meeting was a succession of wrang- ling and a fight was narrowly averted, and Craig adjourned the meeting without action being taken.
 Upon adjournment of this meeting an- 9ther was immediately organized by MT stallings' friends, who were in the majori- ty, and passed resolutions indorsing him.
 Twenty-seven of the committee signed the resolutions and they were wired to the president, Postmaster-Gene Gary, MT. Stallings, Lyons and others in Washing ton This virtually settles the controversy. and MT. Stallings' appointment is expected within the next day or two.

CUBANS' VIEWS.
Amercan Citizens Will Now Be Protected by lhe
 Own Vessels.

Washington. Jan. 24.-Senor Quesada' secretary of the Cuban junta, and Senor Albertini, of the Cuban staff in Washing ton. were about the capitol during the day conferring with members concerning the Cuban status.
 MT. Quesada said: "The sending or the Maine to Cuba, whatever be the oineiai version, is, in our opinion, proof that things are in such condition in the IeW Spanish strongholds that anarchy relgns and that American citizens and property unable to find protection at the hands or the impotent Spanish government. have now the protection of their own vessels

 pected to Be Present.

Denver, Col, Jan. A-It Is now certain that not less than 1000 delegates will be in their seats when the National Stock Crow ers' convention Is called to order in Coli scum hall tomorrow These will include many of the most prominent men con- nected with the stock growing industry in any way. in the entire uost- Tho vention is to continue three days and many important questions will be consid cred. The immense herds of cattle and horses have passed away in this country with the fencing of great portion of the ranges which formerly furnished free grass to the "cattle barons," and it is to consider the best methods of conforming to present conditions that this meeting is called. Some of the specific subjects to be discussed are the present chattel mort gage law; the refusal of the government to use branded horses in the army, and the tariff on hides

ORDERED AT HIS REQUEST.
Justice Mckenna's Dinner Turned Into Meet
 ing of the Cabinet.

New York, Jan. A.-The Worlds corre- spondent at Washington says the battle ship Maine was ordered to Havana in re- sponse to a cablegram from Consul-Gen- eral Lee. After 6 o'clock tonight three cipher dispatches from Consul-General Lee were received at the state department, translated and sent Mr. Day, assistant secretary of state, who took them to the dinner given by Justice McKenna.
 At the dinner all the members of the cabinet except Gen. Alger were present, and a consultation, practically a cabinet meeting was held to consider the situation in Cuba. After returning to the executive mansion the president ordered direct tele- graphic connection between there and Key West. It was the evident intention to send a long dispatch to Gen. Lee, but he subsequently, decided to defer this until morning.

It is a declaration to the world that the United States is not afraid of the Spanish rabble which, seems to control the Spanish officials. The attitude of the Spanish pa pers and officials has been that the pres ence of an American warship in Havana means intervention; undoubtedly they will now say that it is the most natural thing for any nation to send it's vessels to the ports of a friendly power, and MT. De- Lome will declare that his government is delighted. But we shall soon hear from Gen. Weyler's subordinates in Cuba and from Spain; that is, if the cannons of the Maine do not bring to the Spanish minds the conviction that prudence in this case is the better part of valor."
 Senor Albertini says the sending of the Maine will justify itself by future events. From his acquaintance with Spanish meth ods, he says there is greater reason for apprehension than has yet been shown, and he declares that as soon as Spain finds that Cuba Is lost a carnival of slaughter will be inaugurated with the guns of Moro castle and the Cabanas trained on the city of Havana.

HOW IT WAS DONE.
Assistant Secretary Day Speaks at Length on the
 Subject
(By Associated Press)

Washington. Jan. 24.-Assistant Secreta- ry of State Day said this afternoon: "The sending of the Maine to Havana means simply the resumption of naval relations with Spain It is customary for naval ves- sells of friendly nations to pass in and out of the harbors of other countries with which they are at peace, and British and German warships have recently visited Havana. This is no new move. The pres ident has intended to do it for some time but heretofore something has happened to postpone it. The orders to the Maine means nothing more than have said, and there is nothing alarming or unfriendly in them. The Spanish minister here is fully informed of what is going on, and so far as I know has not made the slightest ob- jection to it."
 This statement shows that the move was made deliberately, and that it could

MOB LOOPS HEBREW STORES The Town of AIgierS in Great
 Turmoil. ALL THE SHOPS ARE CLOSED Troops Pcketed in the Squares, and No Jew Dares to Venture on the Streets
 Riot at St. Moo.

Algiers, Jan 2i.-Rioting occurred here at o'clock this morning when it was learned Hebrew had stabbed Spaniard. A mob gathered, attacked and footed the Hebrew stores.
 At the head of six Zouaves, with fixed hayonets the. governor general, preceded by military drummers, traversed the streets, appealing for quiet. He was fol- lowed by a mob of about 3.0OO people who shouted Down with the Jews,'' resign" intermingle with a few cries of ''vive la gouvenieur generale.''
 z. The governor general finally retired to the winter palace escorted by detachments of police and Zouaves. Several Hebrews have been assaulted and score of arrests have been made. This evening the town is in a great turmoil. All the shops are closed and the troops are pdcketed in all the squares. Several Jew shops have been sacked and the troops have several times dispersed the crowds.
 No Jew ventures upon the streets.

 That the democrats are ready and willing to take a hand in the contest and to aid the "eleven'' in electing almost anybody but McComas is no longer susceptible of denial. Delegates Willet and Wilkerson. the acknowledged leaders of the demo- crats in the house, declared as much today in speeches made in the joint convention.
 Gen. Shryock drew out of the fight to- day and declared himself unequivocally for McComas' election.
 Fifty-three members of the general as- sembly met in caucus tonight to discuss the senatorial situation. Hon. Louis B. McComas and J. c. Mullikin were placed in nomination, the roll call resulting in 45 votes for McComas and ' for Mulikin. The nomination of McComas was made unanimous, after which the caucus ad- journed. The bolters refused to enter the caucus.

Fire at Spokane

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 25.-At midnight fire is destroying the Great Easten block on Riverside avenue. The stairway is burned away and people in the building are at the windows crying for help. It Is feared .:lere will be loss of life. The building Is slx- story brick, and the upper floors are used for light housekeeping.
 It is now feared that fifty or more per sons have perished in the awful fire. The upper floors were occupied by seventy-five or one hundred roomers, and 1t Is not thought that more than twenty-five have been saved.

not have been any apprehension of it's re- suits in Havana.
 The general belief here. however, iB that in Madrid rather than in any Cuban town is trouble to be looked for. if there should be any misapprehension of the purpose of our government in sending the Maine to Havana. The temper of the opposition newspapers in the Spanish capital has been at high tension for some time, and they may require the strong hand of the news censor to repress utterances that would lead to rioting.
 Orders Not Made Public.
 Admiral Sicard's orders were not made public in their text at the navy depart ment but 1t was stated that the substance of them was contained in the statement made by Secretary Long. The orders were not sent directly to the Maine for the reason that she is now attached to the squadron and the naval regulations require all such orders shall go through the su- perior officer. There is some question as to whether the telegram reached the ad- miral before he sailed with his squadron from Key West for Tortugas harbor. The belief is that it did not, but this will make little difference in the programme, inas- much as the telegram doubtless will be sent by one of the torpedo boats or some other means of conveyance. The details of the Maines movements are believed to be left to the arrangement of Admiral Si- card, but 1t is thought the ship, which put to sea with the squadron, will return to Key West before going to Havana
 The German ships to which Assistant Secretary Day referred in his statement are the Charlotte and the Geyer, both training ships, and are not formidable, but one sufficed to settle hastily the recent Haytian difficulty Their touching at Ha- vana is not believed to be significant, as their cruise was arranged in all details last September, and the same ships are due at Charleston, s. C.. early in February.
 The. commander of the Maine, Capt. Sigs- bee, is a favorite in the navy department He was lucky to, get so important ship as the Maine, considering his actual rank, which is that of commander, but imme-

Description of the Maine.

The Maine. which has been selected to make the visit to Havana for the protec- ton of American interests, is a battleship of the second class and is regarded as ono of the best ships in the new navy. She was built at the Brooklyn navy yard and Is 318 feet long, H feet broad, M.6 mean draught and 6,6Sa tons displacement. She has two 1o-inch vertical turrets and two military masts and her motive power is furnished by twin screw triple-expansion engines, having a maximum horsepower of 9,293 capable of making a speed of IT, knots.
 She carries four 10-inch and six finch breechloading guns in her main battery and seven 6-pounder and eight 1-pounder rapid fire guns and four Gatlings in her secondary battery and four Whitehead tor pedo guns.
 While administration officials miss no opportunity of declaring their confidence in the promise of the maintenance of peace it may be noted as matter of interest that the United Staes has now assembled near Key West the most formidable fleet of warships that has been gotten together in our home waters for many years. It is made up of the North Atlantic squadron, under command of Admiral Sicard flagship New York, first class battleships Iowa. Indiana, Massachusetts, second class bat tlehips Maine and Texas, cruisers Detroit and Montgomery dispatch boat Fern and the torpedo boat notilla, composed of the Cushing, Ericsson, Dupont and Porter, which will be reinforced in a few days by the Foote The big protected cruiser Brooklyn almost equal to a battleship it. self, is fitting out at the New York navy yard and Captain Cook, who commands the ship was at the navy department this morning, expecting to sail the latter part of his week to join Admiral Sicard's squadron.

Watching Each Other

London, Jan. 25.--A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Nagasaki, Japan, says: The British and Russian squadrons are strictly watching each others movements When the British battleship Centurion, flagship of the squadron, left Nagasaki yesterday Sunday she was shadowed by the Russian gunboat Sivootch. The Jap anese fleet is still at Yokosuka. but is ex- pected to sail shortly fo4 Wei-Hai-Wei. No serious developments are looked for
