Hon. Tomlinson Fort of this city pre-
sided as POSTMASTER
Responding to the toast "Democra-
cy," Mr.. Bryan took up Democracy
along Jeffersonian lines and gave his
reasons for believing that the Demo-
cratic idea was the growing one and
would ultimately prevail over the plu-
tOcratic ideas embodied in Republican
policies. He attempted to show how
broad were the principles and how en-
during, and why they appealed to the
common people. He thanked the club
for the honor it did him in celebrating
his birthday. but disclaimed the pos
session of any special merit, insisting
that the friendly feeling which they
manifested toward him was due en-
tirely to his advocacy of the principles
in which they believed. Mr.. Bryan was
frequently applauded in the progress
of his speech and succeeded in arous
ing great enthusiasm.
Congressman John A. Moon spoke on
the "Fifty-fifth Congress" Said he:
The Fifty-fifth congress is dead, but
the mighty consequences of its deeds
will be felt in the coming ages. When
an impartial judgment is passed ON it's
acts, it will occupy the most anomal
Gus and unique place in the history Of
parliamentary bodies. 1t was at once
the foe of the common people on all
economic questions, and yet the friend
and defender of the liberty of the
commons in foreign land
Following Mr.. Moon was Hon. John
Tomlinson, member of the national
executive committee from Alabama, re-
spending to the toast, No Standing
Army; the American Volunteer the
BulWark of American Liberty
Hon. Benton McMillin, governor of
Tennessee, responded to the toast The
Democratic Party and Reform in
which he predicted the election of Mr.
Bryan in 1900, drawing a comparison
between the Nebraskan and Thomas
Jefferson.
The balance of the toast list of the
evening was made up of local speakers.

MoDUs vIvENDI PROPOSED.
Two Governments Will Probably
Reach An Agreement.

Washington, March 2O.-The British
ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote, con-
ferred today with Secretary Hay in
reference, it is understood, to a modus
vivendi to be observed along the Alaska
border in order to obYiate the POSSIBLE
fty OF clash, pending the final delim-
itation of the border The preliminary
move in this direction was made as
soon as the Anglo-American commits
sion adjourned without settling the Dor
der question. Sir Julian then suggested
that temporary arrangement be made
This would maintain the status quo,
each side making no further advance,
pending final agreement on the boun-
dairy. A temporary line probably will
be run by the two governments This
would not affect permanent interests,
but would serve as a legal barrier be-
tween the lawless fortune seekers in
that locality. The plan is favorably re-
ceived on both sides and is likely to be
carried into effect, although no agree
ment has been entered into thus far.

MRS. PLACES CRIME.
She Murdered Her Stepdaughter and
Tried TO Kill Her Husband.

New York, March 20.-Mrs Martha
Place killed her stepdaughter, Ida
Place, y years old, at their home in
Brooklyn, Feb. Z, 1898. A double murder
had been planned by the woman. She
killed her stepdaughter when the girl
was taking an afternoon nap, splitting
her SKULL open with an ak, and pouring
Vitriol on her face and into her mouth
The same evening the woman lay in
wait for her husband, William w
Place, in the darlzened hallway Of the
house, and when he entered she struck
him in the face with the ak and in1lict-
ed q serious wound. He managed to
get outside the front door and alarm
the neig'hboTs before he became unron-
sciOus. When the police and neighbors
entered the house they found Mrs. Place
in a bedroom in which gas was escap-
ing, and she was shamming uncom-
SciousnessA Mr. Place recovered con-
sciousness and said his wife had tried
10 murder him.
Places first wife died six or seven
years ago, and about eighteen months
afterward he engaged the woman vino
became his second wife as his house
keeper. Her maiden name was Garrett
SON, but she had been married to q
man named Savacoll, now dead. She
was possessed of an ungovernable tenn
per, which LED TO frequent QuarrelS with
Ida, and Mrs. Place was very much en-
FILTERED because her husband took the
young woman's part. Another cause OF
family pickering was Places refusal to
have his wife's adopted son live with
them. The woman was much inferior
to her husband and stepdaughter in
education and social qualities. and
many friends Of Mr.. Place had cut his
acquaintance on account of his mar
riage to the woman. Miss Place was
popular with the families in the neigh
horhood, and this also made the step
mother Jealous.
Mrs. Places story of the crime was
that she had thrown carbolic acid in
her stepdaughter' face during one OF
their quarrels and then got the ak to
defend herself from an aTtack by her
daughter, but it came out during the
trial that she had made preparations
for flight and had written to her
brother that She would go TO him.
Mrs. Place was found guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree. The case was
carried to the court Of appesls, but the
conviction was affirmed and she was
sentenced to death. Governor Roose-
Welt was petitioned to exercise elem
emcy, it being alleged that Mrs. Place
was insane at the time the crime was
committed, and he appointed Drs. Dana
and Polk Of New York City to report
TO him on this point They informed
the governor that the woman was sane
when she killed her stepdaughter and
was sane now. March Is Governor

CALIFORNIA SENATORSHIP.
Governor May Call a Special Session
of the Legislature.

Fan Francisco, March 20-Owing to
the inability of the California legisla-
ture, which has just adjourned, to elect
United States senator to succeed
Stephen NJ. White, there is much talk
of an extra session of the legislature
being called by Governor Gage. The
Republican party leaders look upon
the situation with alarm, and argue
that the failure to elect senator will
result in the election of a Democratic
legislature two years hence. Word
has been received from Sacramento
that some of the legislators yet at the
capital are hoping for call for an ex-
ira session, but Governor Gage de-
cIines to make public his opinion in
the matter just at present. There is
a general feeling among politicians of
both parties that the governor will is
sue cali before congress meets again.
