EXCITING MEETING
Senatorial Fight Is On in

The Resignation of Chairman Sharon is Demanded by inc Friends of Senator Stewart.

Carscn, New, Jan. 12.-An exciting meeting Of the silver PI3I ty state cen tral committee was held t-day caused by efforts being made to swing the committee by the rival candidates for the senatCrship. A resolution was in troduced by the Stewart facticn de- manding the resignation as chairman of the committee, of W. E. Sharon, one of the most active supporters Of Frank Newlands on the ground that Sharon is now labcring tc defeat the express ed will of the silver party in the plat form declaration for the ue-electicn of William Stewart to the United States senate" After a long discussion the consideration of the resolution was, by a vcte of 23 to 19 deferred for one week. This result is claimed as a victory by the Newlands adherents, aI- though the Stewart people claim that in the meantime, the holders Of prox- ies will receive definite instructions from their principals to vote for the Ousting of Sharon.

Germany Makes a Contract With the Lloyd Steamship Line for Ships to Ply Between It's Ports and
 the Far East.

Washington, Jan. 12.-(Special)-
 The great interest in Asiatic commerce
 which other nations as we'll as the
 United States are now feeling, is il-
 lustrated in ai nacent subsidy agreement
 made by the German government by
 which it prohposes to pay more than
 million dollars a year for a flfteen-year term for the establishment Of steam
 ship lines to ply between its ports and
 those of Japan, China and Australasia
 and certain ports of OceanicaL That the German government and those Of it's citizens participating in it's com
 merce should feel a special interest in the trade of the orient is not surprising
 in view of the fact that its exports to that part of the world have quadrupled
 during the past decade.
 A copy of the contract between the German government and the Lloyd steamship line for the establishment and maintenance of postal and com
 mercial communication between Ger many and eastern Asia and Australasia
 has reached the treasury bureau Of statistics. It shows that the Lloyd company agrees to maintain fer a space of fifteen years, steamship lines run ming from Bremerhafen or Hamburg Germany, by way of a Belgian or Dutch port through Genoa, Naples, Port Said, Suez, Aden Colombo, Singapore and Hong Kong to Shanghai, China, and back by the same route; second main line through the same ports to Yoko- hama, Japan; also a main line through the same ports to Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sidney, Australia; also branch lines from Hong Kong to Shanghai and from Singapore to German New Gui- ana, and other ports in Oceanica-
 Four steamers are, under this con tract, to be built for the Chinese and Japanese service to be of not less than 5000 tons and equal to those of foreign nations in every respect, their plans to be approved by the admiralty, and to be running respectively by October 1, 1899, January 1, September 1, and No vember 1, 1900. The steamers to be constructed for the Australasian line are to be not less than $500 tons, and also equal to those of foreign nations in every respect and subject to the ap- pIoVal of the admiralty. All the ships are to be built in German yards and German material is to be used as far as possible, all admiralty requirements to be carried out in them, putting them into condition in which they can read fly be utilized for war purposes when necessary. The agreement provides that in cases of mobilizaing the fleet, the chancellor can purchase the vessels i

AGREEMENT WITH CANADA.
Rates for international Money Orders
 10 Be Lowered.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Perry $. Heath, the first assistant postmaster
 general, has for some time besn de- sirous of bringing about an agreement
 with the Canadian government by which rates on international money or ders could be considerably reduced, and
 with this object in view, MT. Metcalf, sUlrerintendent of the money order di- vision, recently went to Ottawa, and to- day a message was received from him tsating that an agreement had been effected
 The money order business with for eign countries is not transacted direct ly by postmaSters, but is done through intermediary offices acting for the re- spedtive countries. For Canada there are six such offices. namely: Bangor, Me: St. Albens. Vt; Buffalo, N. Y.; Detroit, Mich; St. Paul, Mnn., and Se- attle, Wash. For example. if a money order be issued in Arizona, drawn for payment in British Columbia, the ad vice will be sent to the exchange office nearest that point, which is Seattle.
 On the other hand, if an order be drawn in California, for payment in Quebec, the advice would be sent to St. for approval These officers have supervision over such advices, both countries agreeing that no order shall be paid unless the advice shall show the fact Of cer1tification at an exchange office. This is done to prevent collu- sion between poStmasterS in this cOun- try and c0nfederates in foreign coun- try. The pI5caution is a wise one. as in no instance has the department sui fered the loss Of a single dollar through in the transaction of it's in- business.
 The object in effecting a change is to reduce the excrbitant charges for the money orders which, under the
