FOR THE ONE DOLLAR DINNER
General Committee of Arrangements
Reafiirms Faith In Chicago Plat
form and w. j. bryan.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The general COM
mittee, which is attempting to arrange the
preliminaries Of the one-dollar dinner to be
given in honor of Thomas Jefferson's birth
day at the Grand Central palace April and
at which w. ]. Bryan is expected to speak,
met today. There was a good deal of con-
fusion at the meeting, there being several
hundred people, though only sixty were en-
titled to be present as members OF the COM
mittee.
Nothing was accomplished beyond the
adoption of a resolution endorsing the Chi
cago platform, but when the meeting was
over President A. ]. Boulton said the resolu-
tion would not be considered at the commit
tee of arrangements. The committee OF ar
rangements reported that 1t had been de-
cided to call the banquet THE Working
mems Jeffersonian Dinner"
This announcement resulted in objections
by number of those present but the report
was adopted with the additional paragraph,
"and we reafiirm our undying devotion to
the principles of the Chicago platform and
our full confidence in w, j. Bryan"

WANT TO EXTEND SESSION
State Senators Head Movement to
Lepgthen Out the Legislature.
CLAIM ADJOURNMENT CONES TOO SOON
Make the FLEA that More Time Is
Needed for Proper Considera-
tion of the Appropria-
tiOn nils.

LINCOLN, March 26.-tSpecial Telegram)
There is a movement on foot among the
senators to have the session extended be-
yond next Saturday. To do this 1t will be
necessary to reconsider the Joint resolution
already adopted fixing the time of the ad-
journment at next Friday noon. Any move
to extend the time will meet general oppo-
sition in the house and will by no means
be unanimous in the senate. The excuse
for asking for more time will be that the
appropriations cannot be considered fully in
the few days that are left.
1t is probable that an effort will be made
in the senate tomorrow to push the state
fair location bill ahead of all others, One
clause in the bill that will meet with much
opposition is the one giving the board
power to purchase land for the permanent
location and placing no proper limit on the
amount that may be expended in this way
Lincoln parties who are interested in prop
erty state high figure. When the fair bill
passed the house many of the members
voted for it with the understanding that the
senate would make an amendment limiting
the purchasing power of the board, and
should the bill got showed to the front there
VIII be an amendment of this sort offered.

FIGHT VIEWED IN LONDON
Most of the Heavy Thinking Papers
Say American Victories Are
Not Conclusive.

LONDON, March 27.-The Philippine cam
paign Of late had rather lost interest for
British readers. but today there is an entire
change. All the dispatches are printed
prominently and at length.
Most OF the papers contain editorials ex-
pressing admiration for the bravery of the
American troops and sympathy with them
in the difficulties they have encountered.
The general opinion is that the American
victories are not conclusive, since the Fill
pinos have not learned the lesson of the
hopelessness of resisting the United States
The Standard says;
"The Americans are fighting the rebels
with a dash and vigor that are in marked
contrast to the faltering blows aimed at
them by the Spanish generals. Englishmen
will read with sympathy of the successive
charges of the American infantry across the
open in the face of heavy fire. Work such
as this has had to be done time without
number in the course Of our own empire
making"
The Daily Telegraph says:
"All the accounts show that the Ameri-
cans will have to bear their full share of
the White Mans Burden
"The experience the United States is gath
ering today Is that of every power which
has sought to found beyond its own
Shores
The Daily News:
"The ultimate result can hardly be
doubted, but strategetically Manila is still
threatened"
The Daily Chronicle says:
"All America has to guard against is
guerrilla warfare, and the only way to do
that is to drive roads through the heart of
tlle country and to pen the insurgents in
corners from which they cannot escape"
The Daily Mail, remarking on the i'm
proved tactics OF the insurgents, who 'in
many cases seem to have better arms than
the Americans" says:
"We now see the result Of sending an
army into the field improperly organized and
improperly armed"

THOMAS JErFERsoN's BIRTHDAY

Democratic Clubs.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-Chauncey F.
Black, president of the National Association
Of Democratic clubs, has issued the follow
ing address:
The National Association Of Democratic
Clubs renews its annual suggestion that the
birthday of Thomas Jefferson, April 13, be
duly observed by the democratic clubs
throughout the Union as heretofore. The
doctrines of the author Of the Declaration
of Independence and the founder of the
democratic party, tried and treated by more
than a century's experience under varying
circumstances and now at length universally
conceded to be the corner stone of free In
stitutions which may not be disturbed with
out ruin to the republic cannot be too fire.
quently expounded CT too strenuously en-
forced. A fresh recurrence to them by the
democratic clubs Of the United States is
especially appropriate and even necessary at
this time, when new territories are being
incorporated with the old, and distant peo-
pies are being brought under the jurisdic-
tion Of our federal union and essentially
republican federal government.
We respectfully ask that all clubs on the
roll of the national association which celc-
brate the day shall forward minutes Of
their proceedings to these headquarters.

END OF A PECULIAR CAREER.
Prince LOewenstein Had Been Sus
ncctcI of Being u SpN.

pccted of Being Spy.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The death of
Prince Ludwig Karl Loewenstein- Wertheim
in yesterdays fighting ends a career which
of late had seemed mysterious and given
rise to no little speculation.
According to a dispatch from London to
the Associated Press on March 4, the prince,
who married Lady Anne Saville, daughter
of the earl OF Marlborough, had been lost
sight OF by his friends and an advertisement
inquiring as to his whereabouts had ap-
peared in London newspapers. This ELECTED
dispatch from Manila saying that the
missing prince was in the Philippines, had
been there for many months, was present
at the destruction of Montejo's fleet and was
member of the European club. The dis
patch also stated that his behavior had given
rise to a suspicion that he was acting as the
confidential agent of the German govern
ment. 1t was further alleged that before
Manila surrendered he was allowed to pass
in and out of the Spanish and nsurgent
lines, each party apparently regarding him
as favorable to themselves. For few days
it was even asserted he had acted as VOL
untary aide de camp on the staff of Briga-
der General Miller.
The London Daily Mail about the same
time said it had information that Prince
Ludwig was in Iloilo in January of this year
and, with other papers, it asked the mean
ing of these mysterious movements"
