AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 13.-When asked as
to what he thought of Mr.. Aliens appoint
ment as senator from Nebraska. Mr.. Bryan
replied: 81 think the appointment of Mr..
Allen ought to give universal satisfaction.
He made a good record in the Senate and
last year had the unanimous support of the
fusion members OF the Legislature. /
think that in making this appointment the
Governor acted wisely. There are several
Democrats in the State who would have
filed the office ~acceptably. but the fact that
Allen was. last year. the choice of all three
PARTIES makes him the logical man for the
place. I nave no doubt that a Democrat
will be chosen next year to succeed Sena-
or Thurston. and that will give our State

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13.-Two leading st.
Louis afternoon papers, the Star and Post
Dispatch, for the first time in their his
tory issued no daylight edition to-day. This
was in consequence of a pressmen's strike,
which lasted eight hours. The striking st.
Louis pressmen returned to work tonight
under ~peremptory orders OF President Bow
man, of the international Web Pressmen's
Union. TIL pressmen's union broke a
contract fixed by arbitration and demand
ed that the papers sign a contract Of their
own drafting. This the papers refused to
do and the publishers of the Globe-Demo-
crat, Republic. Post-Dispatch and Star met
and signed an agreement to indefinitely
cease publication. They then appealed to
President Bowman, at the convention Of
the American Federation of Labor at De-
troit. Bowman ordered the pressmen to re-
turn to work and probably will revoke the
charter of the local union. The afternoon
papers did not issue until s D. m. The
morning papers, the be-Democrat and
the Republic. would not nave issued even
with a substitute force had not the local
union yielded. The Typographical Union
supported the publishers.
