CRISIS IN STATE POLITICS.
The Nebraska Deadlock May Cause
Republican Split.

Lincoln, Neb.. Jan lit is possible that
after all the Republicans may be unable to
organize the house. The entire day was
spent in endeavorlng to bring recalcitrant
members into line for Clark for speaker
He has clear majority of the Republican
members, and will be nominated at the
caucus tomorrow, but If the opposition
cannot be conciliated this nomination will
be vaIueless.
Fisher, who was recalcitrant last night
has given in, but Haller, the leader of the
anti-monopolists. who number about szv-
en-. gives it out that he and his men viii
refuse to enter the caucus. With bat four
against him Clark's election is impossi-
BILE, so evenly divided is the house. Unless
Haller can be conciliated there is a chance
for the Populists to elect an anti-monopo-
list Republican as speaker.
Fusionist leaders have made several
propositions to the Haller faction, and
have been endeayoring to make deal
whereby they can either dictate the Re
publican senatorial nominee in return for
making Haller speaker or else can enlist
the support of anti-monopolst Republic
ans for Allen or some free silver Rspub-
lcan.
Republican leaders scoff at any idea Of
the latter plan succeeding, but the crisis
is serious one. rs deadlock on organ
izing the house may lead to a bad spit in
Republican ranks.

SENATOR BATES REELECTION.
ID ~ Thought to lie Assured. with
But Little Opposltion.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 1.-The fi,ty-fr-t
general assembly will convene at neon
tomorrow, and the session will consume
seventy FIVE days. There are twenty eight
Democrats and FIVE Republicans in the
senate and seventy-seven Democrats ami
twenty-five Republicans in the house.
The caucus for the speakerships will
likely be held tomorrow. The principal
candidates for speaker of the senate are
John NJ Thompson of Davidson and s.
Waddell of Obion. The leading candi-
dates for the house speakership are Joseph
W. Byrnes of Davidson and NJ. b. Nor
fleet of Shelby. The legislature will e'ect
II United States senator to succeed Will
liam b. Bate, whose term will expire in
March next
So far Senator Bate is the only cand-
date in the field. although there was some
talk recently that he would have opposi-
ton. The senatorial caucus will likely be
keld next Tuesday. The Republicans may
nominate candidate. but their vote would
be merely complimentary.
The legislature will act upon many i'm
portant matters, including changes in the
charters of the cities OF Nashville, Mem

But the Liberal ministers were not salts

in answer to an imperial inquiry. that they

therefore, Japan has only two firmly es-

SENATOR HALE ALARMED.
Bitter Opposition to His Re-efcction
Hns Developed.


Augusta. Me- Jan. There is great
activity shown by Republican politicians
all over Maine on account of the opposition
that has suddenly sprung up to Senator
Hale's return to the Senate The caucus
to select senatorial candidate is usually
held on the evening of Inauguration day,
which will be on Thursday next.
Mr.. Hale himself will be here on Tues
day and there will be a large number Of
his ardent friends on the ground at the
same time. judging by the number of rooms
engaged at the various hotels. 1t is said
that they have been summoned to come
here and use their influence in the SEN
ator's behalf with the members OF the leg
islature.
1t is also asserted that Mr.. Hale had
made no canvass of the members elect
prior to couple of weeks ago, having
taken it for granted that he would be
the unanimous choice of the Legislative
caucus. But he has had his friends at
work in the various counties for the last
few days, and the result will be that Au
gusta will be crowded early next week.
The opposition. for an opposition really
exists, has not been idle and may solidify
in the support of Charles E. Littlefeld, of
Rockland Mr.. Littlefeld was once speaker
OF the Maine house formerly attorney gen.
eral a lawyer of distinction and an orator
of renown. He was a delegate -at-large to
the national convention two years ago and
was an ardent supporter of Mr.. Reed. He
it was who publicly condemned Mr.. Man
ley for his alleged desertion of Mr.. Reed
If there is a possible chance to defeat
Senator Hale Mr.. Littlefeld will probably
enter the list as candidate. The under
current is against the senator, but it may
be that he will be able to stem the tide
now setting against him when ne arrives
upon the scene OF action. The objection TO
his return is not wholly on account of his
position on the Spanish question, although
it has influence, but there are other rea-
sons of local character that are oper-
ating against him.
The feeling has been growing for some
time that Senator Hale is not really cit
izen of Maine, but that he nominally hoif,i
a residence here while his candidacy for
senator is pending. He is away the rest
of the time. II is given out today that the

Thinks Its Adoption Is a Ne

Kansas City, March 17.-Miss Emile
Poulsson of Boston, known from her
rhymes for children and her interest in
the kindergarten idea, is in the city
Miss Poulsson is the editor of the Kin
dergarten Review, a leading journal of
its kind in the east and she keeps con-
stantly in touch with kindergarten
work in various parts of the country.
What we need are kindergartens in
the public schools" said she to a re-
porter this morning. 1.-The system of
primary education has changed greatly
in the last decade. We are daily learn
inb more and more about the education
of children, and as we learn we find
that the kindergarten idea is the cor
rect one. 1t is not right to try to force
the child of 5 or years to read and
write. They must be taught the value
of play. Why, you know as far back
as the ancient Greeks there were those
wise enough to see and say that there
was educati in play"

TRADE THE LADRONEs
With the United States Amounts to
But Few Thousand a Year

Washington, March 17-Some indica-
ton of the actual trade of the Ladrone
islands, whose commercial status has
been lost sight of in published statistics
about the east, is given in figures in
cluded in a recent report of Chief Frank
c. Hitchcock, of the foreign markets
section of the agricultural department,
on the trade of the Philippines. 1t is
shown that the imports into the United
States from the Ladrones and the Caro-
line island combined in 1897 had value
of $5047; in 1887 ten years previously
of $3,82S; and in 1889 of $242, ,4S7.
The merchandise comprehended in the
last named figures, however, was sugar,
which probably came originally from
the Philippines The only available fig
ures as to exports is for 1890, when the
exports from the United States into the
I.adrones and the Carolines footed up
$SSS4. What trade the Ladrones have
is naturally mostly with other Pacific
islands. Western Australia exported to
Guam in the LadrOnes, $10S. .4S4 of do
mestic merchandise in 1887, and but $15,-
1913 in 1892, and foreign merchandise
fuctuating from $15 in 1887 to $243 in
1894. The total exports from western
Australia to Guam in 1896 were $137 430.
Guam increased from $S,915 of domestic
merchandise in 1889 to $15, ,145 in 1891,
and in 1896 the foreign merchandise ex-
ported to Guam was only $19.
Although Victoria's commerce with
the Philippines during 1S8797 was ex-
tremely small, exports of considerable
value were sent to Guam. In 1926
the average annual value of the mer-
chandise, foreign and domestic shipped
from Victoria to Guam, reached as high
as $S6S, ,209. Domestic merchandise
shipped from Victoria into Guam is
mainly wheat, wheat flour and biscuits.
The total exports to Guam from New
Zealand were $14, 531 in 1898 of domestic
merchandise and $63 of foreign mer-
chandise in 1896. This foreign merchan-
disc in 1895 scored only So. Oats, wheat
and potatoes were the principal of these
exports.

PAVEMENT ASSURED.
Washburn College Drive Obstacles
Being Overcome.

There has been hitch in the pro-
posed Washburn college pavement but
the people who are pushing the i'm
provement think that it will be over
come.
The petitions presented up to this time
provide for pavement to Lane and Thir-
teenth street, but it has been found i'm
practicable to go south on Lane street.
Two plans are proposed to overcome
this trouble. One is to extend the pave
ment south on Lincoln street from Thir-
teenth and another is to go south on
Buchanan street to Fourteenth and then
west to Lincoln.
No trouble has been experienced else
where and there is no longer any doubt
that a roadway to Washburn college
will be paved with a 30-foot brick pave
ment.
The last legislature passed a law
which will prevent progressive
property holders in one block from
blocking the pavement of a street. If
only one block is left out because of
inability to secure half the property
holders on a petition the council may
order that block paved arbitrarily.
