Mr.. DlNGLEYs FUNERAL.
Impressive Ceremonies in the House

Impressive Ceremonies in the House
Over the Remains.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ia state
funeral, almost majestic in its impress
siveness, was given the late Representa-
tive Dingley at noon in the house of
representatives, where he has so long
been such commanding figure. The
president, his cabinet, distinguished
members of the diplomatic corps, men,
bers of the supreme court, senate and
house and distinguished men in mill
tary and civil life, were ranged about
his bier on the floor of the hall, while
the galleries, to which admission could
be obtained only by card, were occupied
by the families of those who sat upon
the floor, and prominent persons in
vited to be present.
The remains were brought to the hall
of representatives shortly after 10 and
the public, which would have no oppor-
tunity to witness the official ceremonies
later, was allowed to pass the casket
and view the features of the dead man.
The funeral services, which were very
simple, were conducted by Rev. s. M.
Newman of the First Congregational
church, assisted by Rev. DR.. Cowden,
chaplain of the house. At their con-
clusion the house adjourned for the day
and later the senate took similar action.
The body lay in state until $3.50 p. m.
and at 4:10 was placed aboard special
train and started for Lewiston, Me-,
where interment will take place.

QUARLES LEADING.

Contest for the Wisconsin senatorship At
Madison Becoming Interesting.
MADISON, Wis, Jan. 19.-The first
Republican joint caucus in the contest
for the seat in the United States senate
which will be vacated by John L.
Mitchell on March was held during
the evening. Five active candidates
are in the field for the coveted prize.
They are Joseph V. Quarles of Milwau-
kee. Isaac Stephenson of Marinette,
Joseph w. Babcock of Necedah, Samuel
A. Cook of Neenah and Charles M.
Webb of Wausau.
The result of the first ballot was a
great surprise inasmuch as Quarles was
expected by some to receive as high as
as and no one thought his strength
would show less than 40 votes. Stephen
son polled about what he counted upon,
while Babcock ran little behind ex-
pectations. Cook and Webb. the tail
enders in the contest, received all that
was expected. The detailed vote fol-
lows: Quarles 81, Stephenson 30, Bab-
cock 10, Cook Is, Webb 10, absent 1,
necessary to choice SO.
The second ballot showed gain for
Quarles of 2 votes, a loss to Babcock of 2,
a gain of for Cook and loss for Webb
of 1.
The third ballot on viva voce vote
resulted: Quarles 4s, Stephenson 10,
Babcock II, Cook II, Webb 10.

the natives can be kept from hostilities
until the arrival of the commission at
Manila, and then it is hoped that the

ing the. reinsurance of the natives upon

So far as can be gathered, the presi-
dent has not completed the list of the
commissioners. Supposing that he in
cludes General Otis and Admiral
Dewey, he would add the names of
President Schurman of Cornell univer-

member, but as Mr.. DENLY is engaged

at present he has not positively decided
to appoint him.

BATTLE IN SAMOA.

Fighting Occurs Between Followers Of
Rival Candidates for the Throne.
AUCKLA..,, N. e., Jan. 19.-Samoan
advices just received here say that Chief
Justice Chambers, on Dec. 81, declared
Malietoa Tanus to have been elected
king in succession to the late King
Malietoa. The chief justice also an
nounced that Tamasese had been elected
vice king. Chief Mataafa was disquali-
fed. -
The consuls of the United States and
Great Britain and the captains of the
German warship Fake and the British
warship Porpoise met the German con-
sui, who refused to recognize Malietoa
Tanus and declined to cooperate in the
dispersal of the Samoans, who there
upon assembled in large numbers at
Melinu, armed themselves and sur
rounded the municipality. Malietoa
Tanus and Tamasese mustered about
1900 men, we'll armed, but
Supplied With Defective Ammunition.
The British and American consuls en-
deavored to avert hostilities, but they
commenced on Jan. 1. Malietoa Tanus
and Tamasese fought bravely, but 500 of
their followers were captured. Then,
disheartened and outnumbered, the two
chiefs sought protection on the British
warship and their followers sought pro-
lection under the guns of the Porpoise.
Mataafa's loss was 81 men killed and
wounded and Malietoa Tanus lost IL men
killed and wounded. The foreign resi-
dents were placed under the protection
of body of men belonging to the Brit
ish ship and Chief Justice Chambers
and his family went on board of her. i.

TO DEFEAT JOHNSON
REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION IN NORTH
DAKOTA AGREES ON A PLAN.

Supporters OF Field Candidates to Caucus
and Name One Of Their Men-Results
in Other States-First Ballot in Penn.
sylvania Leaves the Result Worry Much
in DOubt-Burrows Chosen in Michigan,
BISMARCK, Jan. 18.-Forty-five Re-
publicans have signed an agreement to
settle the senatorship in caucus of the
supporters of the six field candidates,
Marshall, Little, La Moure, Hanna,
Cooper and McCumber. Six more will
sign, making total strength Of 81.
Either Marshall or Little will be the
caucus nominee. If this agreement is
carried out, and there is every reason to
believe so, johnson is beaten and either
Marshall or Little will be the next
United States senator from North Da-
kota, these being recognized as the two
strongest field candidates. THE number
OF signers to the agreement is five more
than enough to elect.
BISMARCK, Jan. 10.-Surface indica-
tions are that johnson is beaten. He
held his own in joint ballot of the house
and senate, but his present strength will
avail him nothing. While he kept the
field scattered he had a chance to win.
But his only hope was in gradually
breaking the field forces.
Caucuses of six field candidates for
the senatorship and their supporters
were held during the afternoon and
evening without arriving at any result
in the selection of candidate.
BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 19.-The first
ballot in joint assembly for senator re-
suited: johnson 20, Roach Is, Marshall
II, Little 8, LaMoure 8, McCumber 8,
Hanna 6, Cooper s. The joint assembly
adjourned after one ballot.

ROAST FOR THE RAILROADS
Annual Report OF tho Interstate Com.
meroo Commission.

Annual Report OF tho Interstate Com
meroo Conmission.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l8.-The annual
report of the interstate commerce COM
mission has been given out. In it the
commission says: In previous reports
to congress, attention has been called to
the vital respects in which the act has
proved defective and inadequate. Some
of it's provisions were early seen to be
imperfect while others were so uncer-
tain and ambiguous as to give rise to
protracted litigation, resulting finally
in authoritative construction by the su-
preme court of the United States.
Meanwhile the situation has become
intolerable, both from the standpoint of
the public and the carriers. Tariffs are
disregarded, determinations constantly
occur, the price at which transportation
can be obtained is fuctuating and un-
certain. Railroad managers are dis
trustful of each other and shippers all
the while in doubt as to the rates Sc
cured by their competitors. The
volume of traffic is so unusual as to
frequently exceed the capacity Of
equipment, yet the contest for tonnage
seems never relaxed. Enormous sums
are spent in purchasing business and
secret rates accorded far below the
standard of published charges. The
general public gets little benefit from
these reductions, for concessions are
mainly confined to the heavy shippers.
All this augments the advantages of
large capital and tends to the injury
and often to the ruin of smaller dealers.
These are not only matters of gravest
consequence to the business welfare Of
the country, but they concern in no less
degree the higher interests of public
morality.

Of yerbena as a sedative. The specially
healthful and invigorating qualities Of
this plant were we'll known to the Ro-
mans, who crushed some OF its leaves

anointed themselves freely, with it. It
is very good for brain workers to inhale
its perfume, and the old fashioned cot

bena in the window may have arisen in

plants were cultivated specially for

issuance of a circular from st. Peters
burg to the powers embodying pro-

ornaments, asserts, that the suggested
bases of discussion are given with, great
detail. He cites for example the prohi-
bition of employment of new inven-
tions, of the use of explosives, submarine
vessels and the practice Of ramming
vessels. The programme also proposes,
he says, discussion of the avoidance of
war by recourse to arbitration wherever
possible.
