MANY BILLS AWAIT ACTION.
Senate Calendar Contains Importan
Measures.

Me0sureS.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-The week will
be a busy one in the senate. With only
twelve days Of the session left all sena-
tors appreciate the necessity Of very
strict and close attention to business in
order to get through the bills which all
admit must become laws in order to
prevent an extra session of congress-.
Very rarely has it occurred that there
has been SO many important measures
on the senate calendar so short a time
before final adjournment of the last ses-
sion of congress. There are. however,
only comparatively very few of these
oils outside of the appropriation bills.
which must necessarily be acted upon
before adjournment, and if the senate

important bills during the past week.
the session will be closed up in good Or
der and with time to spare. The army
reorganization bill and the census bill
are n reality the only two measures
aside from the appropriation bills upon
which action would seem absolutely
necessary. The census bill has passed
both houses and is now in conference
and is reasonably sure Of enactment in
some shape.
The army bill is yet 10 receive the at
tentlon OF the senate. Other measures
which will be pressed to a certain ex-
tent are the Alaskan code bill, the Ha-
waiian territorial organization bill and
various other bills pertaining to Hawaii.

Congress VIII Be Asked to Take Cog
nixance of Matter Favored by
Local Board of Trade

Some time ago the board of trade passed
resolutions asking the war department to
permitsa cable company to land a cable
In Cuba, giving competitive service. Simi-
lar resolutions have been passed by trade
organizations complaining OF high wire
tolls. So far the war department has re-
fused permission desired by reason of
service 10 the government during the war.
The claim is made that accommodations
to the government might be met with cash
and fair rate to business men secured.
The. matter will likely command the at
tention of congress in due time

IOWA BREAKS HER RECORD.
Republican Majority on Governor the
Greatest In the History of
the State.

DES MONIES, Ia. Nov. s.-Returns
from ninety of the ninety-nine counties of
The state, with estimates on the others,
show that the Republican claim of 6o0e0
plurality for Governor Shaw is easily main
tanned, and may go slightly above that
figure. His majority over all candidates
for governor is estimated al 5000, which
is the largest in the history of the state on
the gubernatorial vote. Based the vote
of 1855. the vote this year shows a Re
publican increase OF about per cent for
the Republicans and 10 per cent for the
Democrats, which make the entire Repub-
lican vote in the neighborhood of 2Jo.0eo
and the total Democratic vote 10000. But
this is 4 falling off from the vote Of 1897
OF about and 10 per cent. respectfully.
The legislature will stand: Senate, thirty
five Republicans and fifteen Democrats:
house, eighty-three Republicans and sew
enteen Democrats, a gain of seventeen
votes on joint ballot for the Republicans.
Both the Gear ard Cummins forces claim
majority Of the Republican votes for
the United States senatorship.

CHORUS IS SECURED.
Firemen's Paris Trip Will Have
Plenty of Muaic

A burlesque entertainment will be given
for the benefit of the firemen's Paris fund
at Convention hall December Is and H.
Last night at Music hall the first steps
were taken to incorporate the company
that will furnish the entertainment 4
full chorus of bass and tenor singers was
secured. together with a number of minor
performers in an opera written by Charles
y. Daniels and ST. Clair Hurd.
Chief Hale, of the fire department, made
the opening address in which he spoke of
the objects of the meeting and appealed
to all present to assist in helping it along
He then introduced St. Clair Hurd, who
called on all present who were bass or
tenor singers TO step to one side and have
their names taken willing to assist in
the entertainment. A full chorus was
secured before the meeting adjourned and
assured the success of the project.
The opera. which will really be a bur-
lesque on an opera, to be presented has
been prepared by Charles n. Daniels and
ST. Clair Hurd. and will picture a scene
in Madrid and representing the victorious
Kansas City firemen returning from Paris,
where they had won many prizes. They
had stopped in Madrid to entertain the
king and incidentally to be entertained
by him in turn. Included in the enter
tainment is bull fight. which meets with
the disapproval of the Butchers union Of
Kansas City. and a complication ensues
which is relieved by the entering of Henry
Sieben's Real Things" and the finale is
satisfactory to all.

SAY THEY WILL SEAT MAzET.
New York Republican Leaders Say
That He Was Beaten by
Fraudulent Votes

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-The Herald says:
While the Republicans admit that Perez
M Stewart has received the greater num-
Der of votes in the Nineteenth assembly
district, they unanimously declare that
Robert Mazet will again occupy his seat
in the assembly. Stewards plurality is less
than the number of alleged fraudulent
votes cast in the district for the Tammany
ticket. 1t is announced that Mr.. Mazet
will make contest and that there is ample
evidence to justify a Republican legislature
In throwing out more than 400 votes which
were cast against him.
A report was taken to Republican head
quarters that five men had gone to the
quarters that five men who had gone to the
Thirty-fourth election district intending to
vote for MaZet, found that Tammany men
had cast ballots in their names. This is
said to have been one of the many fragrant
frauds.

feated by LOCO or more said Collector
Bidwell. "Mazets defeat is due to illegal
