elected representative from Auburn to the
state legislature, in which body he at once
took high rank, was reelected in 1862 and
chosen speaker Of the house at the session Of
1853. In 1863 he removed to Lewiston, where,
a few months after, he was elected to the
legislature, and with the opening of the
legislative session of 1864 was unanimously
reelected speaker.
At the state election of 1864 he was elected
to the house fourth time, and with the sas-
sion Of 1865 was again rendered the position
of speaker which he declined, preferring to
take his place the floor. He was also a
representative to the legislature from Lewis
ton in 1868 and 1873
In 1873 Mr.. Dingley was elected by about
over 11,O0O majority, declining a third nomi-
nation In 1875. In 1881 Mr.. Dingley was elect
ed to fill the vacancy In congress caused by
the resignation of Hon. William P. Frye, and
had served in that body ever since.
At the beginning of his congressional
career the country was disturbed on tho
question of the extension Of charters of the
national bank association. He Immediately
identified himself with a BIZ: for the extern
sion of the charters of the banks, and In the
face of much opposition helped fight the bill
through. The opposition to the resumption
OF specie payment had not been dissipated,
and Mr.. Dingley had no small part in be-
friending the government in it's policy.
His first speech in congress made April
rs, 1882, on Protection to American Ship
ping" While he has been active in finan-
cial matters, he was thoroughly informed en-

Struggle Between Nine Candidates
for the Nebraska SeuatOrsbin

Struggle Between Nine Candidates
for the Nebraska Senatorship.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 13-Interest in
the Nebraska senatorial convass has
reached it's height. Both houses of the
legislature adjourned at noon today,
but it is notable that few members.
left the city, preferring to remain and
watch the struggle which will grow in
excitement from now until Tuesday
noon, when the first ballot is taken.
With a Republican majority of thir-
teen on joint ballot the contest centers
wholly within that party. A strictly
reliable estimate Of the strength Of the
nine Republican candidates is impos-
sible, inasmuch as there is nearly
score of members who refuse to give
their preferences. 1t is generally con-
eeded. however, that Judge NJ L.
Hayward, of Nebraska City, will lead
on the first ballot, with anywhere from
twenty to twentyseven votes; that D.
H. Thompson, of Lincoln, will follow,
with probably fifteen, the remaining
aspirants having all the way from ten
to a single vote. There will be no at
tempt to hold a Republican caucus un-
til after the first ballot, and perhaps
for a week following.
Strong resolutions passed the senate
and house today by decisive majorities
requesting the secretary of war to re-
move Col. Stotzenburg, of the First
Nebraska regiment, at Manila, and in
vestigate charges against him by
courtmartial. Stotzenburg is charged
with falsifying the sick report of the
regiment in order to keep it in Ma
Mia, and fining men for going on duty
without being shaved and making
them drill when dangerously sick,

GOV. ROOSEVELTS LETTER.
He Practically COrrobOrates state
ments Made by Gen. Miles.


ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 10. - Gov.
Roosevelt stated today that he had
written a letter to Maj Gen. Miles
concerning the character of the meat
furnished during the Santiago cam
paign. Gen. Miles, at Washington, has
made reference to the receipt of that
letter The governor, as colonel of the
regiment of rough riders, submitted a
report to the war department in Sep
tember last, which contained prac-
tically the same account of the condi-
ton of the beef as was set forth in
his letter to Gen. Miles. The governor
in his letter. stated that four kinds OF
beef were furnished to the rough riders
from the time they left Florida for
Cuba until their return. The first of
these was corned beef. Its quality was
good. The salt in the meat seasoned
the other articles of food and the men
found 1t quite palatable. The second
was canned roast beef, which was with
out flavor and taste and would turn
the stomach OF those who ate it. 1t was
strirgy and tough, and without any
qualities which would render it a fit
article of food. But there was but one
way in which the men could eat It,
and that was by making it into a
stew. Fresh vegetables We're not al
ways obtainable, and stews could be
made only occasionally When the
rough riders left Tampa a large guam
tity Of specially prepared beef was
placed aboard the transport on which
they embarked. This beef was quar-
ters, and was stored in the forward
end of the transport. 1t had been pre-
pared by some special process, un-
known to Col. Roosevelt, but supposed
to be with some form of solution The
transport was out from Tampa but
few hours when this beef began to
smell The stencil was so great that
the men avoided the forward end of
the transport as much as possible. The
meat could not be eaten and 1t was
thrown into the ocean. A fourth kind
of beef was served to the rough riders
at Santiago after July %. 1t was of a
good quality and was brought TO Cuba
in special steamers with refrigeratlng
facilities. Gov. Roosevelt's official re-
port Was accompanied by reports of
the quartermaster and surgeon of the.
several companies.
