jumped the track at Guthrie. and more
than an hours time was consumed there.
The train kept losing time from Guthrie

OPPOSITION TO ROBERTS
NcbrnsLans Present Petitions Oppos-
ing the Seating of the Man
from Itnh.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-(Special Tele-
gram )--Senator Thurston today presented
numberless petitions, seemingly from cities
and towns of Nebraska, demanding that an
anti i-polygamy amendment to the consttu-
tion be passed. These petitions in point of
signatures numbered nearly 5000 and rep
resented the best people of the state.
Congressman Burket of the First district
presented a number of petitions from Ne
braskans, protesting against the seating OF
Brigham H. Roberts, but Burket did not
have the whole call on this question, as
every member of the congressional delega-
tion presented protests against Roberts.
Senator Thurston introduced bill for a
public building at Hastings to cost 100000
exclusive of site; also three petitions from
the Sunday school of jamestown, Neb.,
Women's Christian Temperance union of
jamestown and Vaudeville Sunday school
members for prohibition of the sale of beer
and other intoxicating liquors in soldiers
homes and buildings and grounds.
Senator Kyle presented bills to reimburse
Indians in South Dakota and for erection of
public buildings.
Inspector Tinker of the Indian office, who
has been in Washington for several days
engaged upon his annual report, says that

Senator Clark of Wyoming today intro
duced a bill which is intended to relieve
homesteaders on abandoned military reser-
vations by allowing them to make additional
entries of 100 acres for stock kgraZing pur-
poses. The reserves are now open only to
homesteaders whose land entries are lin
tied to 100 acres under existing laws.

QUARANTINE SANTOS COFFEE
Several Ships with Cargoes from the
Infected Port Are Held by
Health officer.

NEW YORK. Dec. Ga conference be-
tween the committee of coffee merchants
and the Board of Health today resulted in
no conclusion regarding the admission of
cargoes of several ships from Santos now
held in quarantine.
Chairman Murphy of the board declared
that it was useless to talk about the re-
lease of the cargo of the j. w. Taylor, the
infected ship, but said the board would hear
the committee on Saturday regarding the
cargoes of three uninfected ships.
President Murphy was influenced in TAX
ing this course by the decision of the Bos-
ton Board of Health to allow any ship from
Santos to dock after the vessel and cargo
had been passed and certified by DR.. DOTH
health officer of this port
The John G. Seager company, agents for
the Prince line, tonight notified the owners
and consignees OF the cargo of the Roman
Prince, which has already reached New
York, that 1t would be a wise thing to take
the cargo to Boston at an extra expense of
10 cents bag, or for the owners OF the cargo
to agree to pay demurrage OF $3.50 day
during such time as the cargo remains
aboard. 1t is believed the agents of other
lines have agreed to follow the same course
with consignees,

LEGAL BATTLE OVER RETURNS
FIOOdgates of Orntory Opened Mt
Frankfort Before the State Board
of Election Commissioners.

FRANKFORT KY, Dec. 6.-The foodgates
of oratory were opened promptly when the
election commissioners took their seats to-
day and it rolled on for hours, with brief
intermission at noon. The republican
speeches were longer and more elaborate
than the democrats, who were apparently
saving as much as possible of their time
for Judge Hargis OF Louisville, who to-
morrow makes the great argument for
Goebel.
ID. w. F. Fairle of Louisville made the
opening statement for the republicans; r.
F. Peak of Shelbyville performing a similar
office for the democrats. A. E. Wilson of
Louisville spoke for the, republicans and
for democracy. A. P. Humphreys of Louis
Vile was put down for the close of the re-
publican arguments and general summing
up of the case. Judge Hargis closes to-
morrow. The arguments were carried on
during the day in the greatest possible
harmony.
The senate chamber was jammed to suffo-
cation by an interested throng of listen
ers. There was not a policeman anywhere
around the building nor was there the
slightest need of one.
LEXINGTON, KY, Dec. 6.-The local
members of the state guard were instructed
to assemble at the armory tonight. They

ness to reassemble at a given signal. The

learned, the officers saying they themselves

WOOD GETS ANOTHER STAR
President Nominntes Him to he
Major General of Vol
unteers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The president
has nominated Brigadier General Leonard
Wood to be major general of volunteers.
According to the officials of the War de-
partment the promotion of General Wood to
not likely to cause any change in his pres
ent station and duties. General Wood had
an interview with Secretary Root at the
War department today and at its conclusion
said he expected to return to Santiago in
a few days, but that it was possible he
might be allowed to spend the Christmas
holidays in this city.
AS major general of volunteers General
Wood will be second ranking officer in Cuba,
his single military superior being General
Brooke, commanding the division who is a
major general in the regular establishment.
General Woods advancement gives him rank
above Generals Wilson, Lee, Young, Chaffee
and Ludlow, all of whom were senior to him
in the volunteer army. Although all the
officers named were major generals of volun-
teers during the war, they at present hold
only the rank of brigadler general. Count
ing General Wood there are now eight major
generals in the army, including Generals
Miles, Merritt and Brooke of the regular
army. The other volunteer major generals
are Shafter, Otis, Lawton and Macarthur.
General Woods appointment is made un-
der authority of the statute allowing an offl-
Ger of that rank for every $1,000 men in ac-
tive military service. Including the $4,000
volunteers recently enlisted for service in
the Philippines the present strength of the
army is in round numbers 100000 men.

WHITNEY HEADS Big COM BlNE
New Company Organized to Control
Cab and Carriage business in
Large Cities.

NEW YORK, Dec 6-The Commercial
Advertiser says:
The interests of the Electric Vehiele COM
pany, the General Carriage company, the In
ternational Power company Orchard Gro
ker's auto truck company and several
smaller cab and carriage companies now do
ing business in the more important cities OF
the country, are to be combined into one big
company controlled by William c. Whit
ney of the Whitney Widener- Elkns syndi-
cate. The details of the combination will
probably not be divulged for some time.
Negotiations for the combination were
opened several months ago, and have ad-
vanced gradually Frederick b. Esler, a d-
rector of the General Carriage company and
one OF the proprietors, said the company
would have between 300 and 400 cabs and
carriages in service before January This
company is organized on lines similar to
those on which the general cab companies
Of London and Paris are operated. Mr..
Esler said that a careful examination Of the
various systems in proved that for the
present horses were by far the cheapest and
most desirable in connection with light cab
service.
when we come to the question OF stages"
he added, that is another matter. We shall
adopt some other motive power, either cleo
tricty or compressed air, whichever proves
best for our peeds.'
The combination of the various companies
places Mr. Whitney in control of the enter
prise in Greater New York. By acquiring
the General Carriage company Mr.. Whitney
will have the right to parallel the lines OF
rival street railway companies in Manhattan
Brooklyn and Bronx
