INDIANA,s FIGHT FOR OFFICE.
Nothing New Develops i'm the Senatorial
Contest-Wants an Early Caucu-.


Indianapolis, Jan. 4.-Nearly :. OF
the members of the general assembly
have arrived for the sixty-first session.
which will begin tomorrow at 10 a. IN.
The interest is centered around the con-
test for United States senator. None of
the five candidates appears to have at
tanned any special advantage thus far.
although it, is conceded that J. Frank
Hanly, of Lafayette. will have more
votes on the first ballot than any other
candidate. The two political parties will
nominate officers for the senate and
house at caucuSeS to be held tonight.
Frank L. Littleton, OF Indianapolis. now
has practically a clear field for speaker
Some of the most influential senators
and representatives are suggesting that
the caucus for the nomination of a can
didate for United States senator be held
Friday night of this week, but the i'm
mediate followers of the several candi-
dates are so bitterly opposed to the idea
that it will hardly prevail. IF 1 could
have my way the caucus would be held

Danville. Amy person can foresee that

The fight is by no means limited to
the competition for the place of United
States senator and the speakership.

Fact That Is Significant.
GOMEZ STATES HIS POSITION.
Still Stands for Cuban Independence and
Payment of the Army.

Havana Jan. 4. - General Maximo
Gomez. from his camp 200 miles west
ward. near Narciso. has issued a procla-
nation to the Cuban army advising
against disbanding until the proceed
ings at Washington regarding the pay
of the insurgent troops have been COM
pleted. 1t is dated Dec. 90 and is in
part as follows: The moment has ar
rived to give a public explanation of
my conduct and my purposes. which
are always in accord with my sense of
duty to the country l serve. The Amer
leans, tacitly our allies. have terminated
the war with Spain and signed a treaty
of peace I believed II was my duty not
TO move for any political or other object
from the spot where 1 had drawn my
sword so long as the enemies of the
army had not completely evacuated the
island Ny presence elsewhere would
have disturbed the repose and calmness
necessary to consolidate peace; nor
ought / 10 have caused the Cubans
trouble by unnecessary manifestations
during the Jubilee.
The period OF transition is termin-
ated; the army of the enemy is aban-
doning the country; the sovereignty of
the great United States is beginning as
stipulated in the protocol, over all the
island. But Cuba is not yet free or
independent Self-government is not
yet constituted. For that reason we
must dedicate ourselves to bringing
about the disappearance of the cause
for American intervention. But above
everything else. in the spirit of justice
to the Cuban army. ii is necessary that
before the liberators of the people can
dissolve - as a guarantee of order
that the debt which the country owes
to its soldiers should be satisfied. Await
ing this result I remain in my present

PEACE TREATY Is SUBMITTED.
President Mckinley Sends Paris Docu-
ment TO the Senate.


Washington, JAM when the
senate went into executive session,
the peace treaty, which was Just re-
ceived from the president, was laid
before that body by Frye, who occu-
pied the chair in the absence of the
vice president. The treaty was not
read, but the presidents message ac-
companying it was. This was a simple
letter of transmittal, without any
word of recommendation or sugges-
ton, and was only a few lines in
length. On motion of Davis the
treaty was referred to the committee
On foreign affairs and ordered printed
for the use of the senate. No order
was made looking to making the
treaty public, but it is understood
this will be done after the treaty is
passed upon by the senate. A meet
ing of the committee on foreign rela-
tions is called for by Friday, and it is
probable the committee will then
bring in resolution for publication
of both treaty and proceedings.
Less than 100 members were on the
floor when the house met at noon after
the holiday recess, but the attendance
IN the galleries was larger. The blind
chaplain in his invocation referred
feelingly to the critical illness of Ding
ley, the floor leader, and prayed for
his speedy recovery. Under the rule
adopted before recess, the house took
up the consideration of the bill tc de-
fine and punish crime in Alaska and
provide code of criminal procedure
in this district.

EAGAN KEEPs THE TRAIL HOT.
In His Effort to Find What Was the Matter
with That Beef

Washington, Jan. 4. - Commissary
General Eagan yesterday gave out for
publication some correspondence reia-
tive to criticisms passed by General
Miles upon the quality of the meat
supplied to the army during the war.
First is a letter from Major Black, who
was General Miles commissary officer
during the Porto Rico campaign. In
view of the regulations forbidding the
destruction or condemnation or any
supplies except upon the finding of
properly constituted board of survey he
was asked as to the the correctness of a
statement attributed to General Miles
that 1e0. 600 pounds of canued beef had
been condemned in Porto Rico. His
reply was that Il findapo report of
boards of survey on refrigerated beef or
timed roast beef among my papers,.
Following up the inquiry into the al
legations against the quality of the
roast beef furnished the army General
Eagan says he directed special eXam-
ination to be made of all fhe meat the
minute he heard the first complaint.
The first report to come to hand was
from Tampa, Fla, signed by E. r.
Hutchins, captain and commissary SER
geant, u. S. W, and its pith is this:
II have never seen in this somewhat
extended experience better beef in cans
than you have furnished" Captain
Hutchins is a veterans of the civil war.
Other letters published by Eagan re-
late to the issue raised between General
Miles and General Eagan as to the au-
thorship of certain newspaper criticism
upon the army supplies, and includes
General Eagan's letter and General
Miles reply. Eagan's letter il to the
adjutant general. and asks that an ar
ticle from the New York Journal pur-
porting to quote General Miles in grave
charges against the war management,
be referred to General Miles to ascer-
tain whether the statements attributed
to him were made by him. Miles reply
is that II have repeatedly refused to
be interviewed. or to comment upon or
discuss my testimony. When a proof
is furnished me and corrected or ex-
amined presume the commissary gen.
eral can obtain a copy.
General Eagan also published state
ments from Swift & Co; Libby, Nc
Neill & Libby. and Nelson Morris &
Co, all of Chicago. which reiterates the
statements of Armour & Co. regarding
the process used in canning and refrig-
Grating meats. All assert that nothing
but good meat is put up; that it is done
we'll; that no chemicals are used at any
stage OF the process; that. they are SELL
ing the product all over Che world with
no complaints from anywhere, and that
the same is true, as to all of the fore
going assertions. regarding refrigerated
beef.
The board of survey appointed by the
secretary of war to exarhin into and
report upon the responsibility for the
loss of 300.O0O pounds e refrigerated
beef of Swift & Co., which was rejected
by General Miles upon it's arrival at
Ponce, Porto Rico, and which was SUBJ
sequently thrown overheard while en-
route on the return voyage, met yes
terday, but decided that inasmuch as
the proceedings of a bo3rd of survey
be made public.

Int the animals broke away III
terror aud the rest of the party
scattered to find safety and
shelter. Under these circumstan-
ces the litter was lowered into
the road by Capt. Leigh and
Lieut.. Smith, who lay by 1t to
protect themselves as best as they
could from the heavy artillery
fire which swept the turnpike in
every direction. Gen. Jackson
raised himself upon his elbow and
attempted to get up, but Lieut..
Smith threw his arm across his
breast and compelled him to de-
sist. They lay in this manner
for some few minutes without at.
tempting to move, the storm OF

$50 far as | could see," wrote
one of the officers, ''men and
horses were struggling with a
most terrible DEATH" The road
was otherwise deserted. Jackson
and the two officers were the only
living occupants of the spot.
The fire of canister soon relaxed,
but that of shot and shell cOntin-
ued. Jackson rose to his feet,
and leaning on the shoulders of
the party who had joined him,
he turned aside from the road,
which was again filling up with
infantry, and struck into the
woods, one of the officers follow
ing with the litter. Here he
moved with difficulty among the
troops who were lying down in
order of battle, and the party en-
countered General Pender, who
had Just been slightly wounded.
He inquired who it was that had
been wounded, and was told GA
Confederate officer" Fender,
however, recognized Jackson and
exclaimed:
"Ah, General, | am sorry to
see that you have been wounded.
The lines here are so much broken
that | fear we will have to fall
back
These ominous words appeared
directly to rekindle the fiery en-
ergy Of Jackson. He raised his
head and said with fash of his
eye. 9 You must hold your
ground, General Fender! You
must hold your ground, STRIP
This was the last order ever given
by Stonewall jackson upon the
field of battle.
The strength of the General
appeared to be completely ex-
hausted, and he requested to be
permitted to lie down upon the
ground. The heavy artillery fire
of the Federals still continued,
and the expected advance of
their infantry, made it imperative
to move on, and the litter was
again put into use. The General,
now nearly in a fainting condi-
ton, was placed upon it. and the
necessary bearers having been
procured, the whole party cOntin-
ued to move through the dense
woods toward Melzi Chancellor's.
