Death Came to the Nebraska Senator
Yesterday After n Long
Illness.

NEBRASKA CITY. NEB.. Dec. 5.-sena-
tor Monroe Leland Hayward died at $40
this morning after twenty-four hours of
unconsciousness.
He was taken i'll during his campaign
for the senate. and later this illness devel-
oped much more seriously. Last summer
during a public meeting at Brownville he
suffered q sudden attack. and just as he
was about to rise to speak he fell to the
floor unconscious. The last attack was on
November 8. and at that time hope was
given up of his recovery. He should have
taken his seat in the senate yesterday.
United States Senator Monroe l.. Hay
ward was 50 years old and had lived in
Nebraska City for thirty-two years. AL
though lawyer by profession, he made
his wealth largely through investments in
lands in Nebraska and Kansas His cleo
ton to the United States senate was his
first appearance in national politics. He
was defeated for governor by Poynter two
years ago, reducing the fusion majority
from 8OG0 to 5000. When the last legisla-
ture was found to be Republican Mr. Hay
ward announced his candidacy for the
United States senate and the fight which
followed was one OF the bitterest in the
history of the state. The long drawn out
caucus deadlock finally resulted in his elec-
ton, but soon afterwards he was stricken
with paralysis while addressing political
meeting.

THREE SENATE CAUCUsEs.
tain u Clear Majority ON All
Committees.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Three caucuses
were held in the senate end of the capital
to-day. They were under the auspices, re-
spectively, of the Republican. the Demo-
cratic and the independent senators, the
last named including the Silver Repub-
licans and the Populists, and each consid-
cred the reorganization of the senate COM
mittees. In each instance, the detail work
was referred to special committees.
Senator Allison was empowered by the
Republican caucus to select committee
of nine to confer with the opposition and
make the apportionment of members.
There was suggestion that the Repub-
lfcan representation on committees should
bership OF the senate, and. in reply to a
question, Senator Allison said that the Re-
publicans numbered about tive-eighths Of
the entire senate.
After some discussion, the suggestion was
abandoned because of the effect that such
a demand in the senate would have upon
proportionately much smaller majority.
There was, however, general understand
ing that the Republicans should have a
clear majority on all committees.

Cuba and the other to include the affairs

On 10 bn tne ne dlSol
ton was made on suggestion made soto
voice by Senator Mason that he, Senator
Hoar and Senator Hale should be given
places on the proposed Philippine commit
tee.
The conference really delegated the whole
subject to the committee on committees,
which Senator Allison promised to appoint
promptly.
The Democrats transacted no business
beyond the unanimous selection of Senator
Jones, of Arkansas as chairman of the
caucus to succeed Senator Turpie, and the
authorization of the chairman to appoint a
committee to confer with the Republican
committee on the reorganization of the
standing committees.
The independents agreed to act with the
Democrats in the organization of the
senate and Senator Pettigrew was ap-
pointed to act as member of the minority
committee on committees. This conference
was attended by all the Silver Republicans
and Populist senators. of whom there are

Mr.. Meday said yesterday:
1T is impossible to say what will be done
in the way of increasing the output of the

jumping at the conclusion that as soon as
a plant changes hands that the output will
be at once greatly increased. We have to
get the market before we can increase the
supply to any great extent. / don't look

We could easily double the capacity of the

Indiana, who presented the bill. explained
it section by section AS he proceeded,
many questions were asked, mainly by
Messrs. Hopkins, of Illinois; Hepburn. of
Iowa: Hill. of Connecticut, and McCleary,
of Minnesota, but they were not captious
and indicated only q desire for clear
understanding.
One of the inquiries was as to the effect
of continued deprecia ton of silver; to
which Mr.. Overstreet answered that fur
ther depreciation would be impossible un-
der the terms of the bill, as silver could be
gold, thus maintaining the parity of the
metals. AS to the establishment of gold
standard, 1t was stated that, while it might
not lead to the actual coinage of gold dol
lars, yet it would reserve a stable stand
ard, just as some states kept an official
yard stick as a standard.
Mr.. Overstreet continued his explanations
until II o'clock, when, in response to a gen.
eral sentiment. the caucus adjourned un-
til y. m. tomorrow.

NO WORK In THE SENATE.
Presidents Message Read, Senator
Hayward's Death Announced and
Adjournment Taken.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-To-days ses-
sion of the senate lasted two hours and
forty minutes, practically the entire time
being consumed in the reading of the
presidents message. The reading was
largely perfunctory. few senators accord
ing it any attention.
The announcement of the death of Sena-
tor-elect Monroe l.. Hayward, of Nebraska,
was received by the senate with sincere
regret. Although he was not officially a
member of the body. he was well known
to many of the senators and by them was
held in high regard. At the conclusion of
the reading of the message the senate
adopted resolutions of regret presented by
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, and, as
mark of respect. adjourned Immediately.

SOUTH AMERICA IN HARD LINES
Bubonic plague and Revolutions, Ac-

yxtn8 Trade.
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, Nov. 2S.-Passen-
gers from the west coast of South Ameri-
ca report an ominous outlook In connection
with the spread of the bubonic plague.
There seems little doubt that the epidemic
is slowly but steadily working westward
in South America.
To this dangerous plague is added the
general condition of political unrest in all
the Western republics Of South America.
Chile is on the eve Of a financial crisis, and
possibly of revolution, which has been only
postponed. and not averted. by the gov
ernment's reduction of the issue of forced
paper currency from 900 to $50 600, ,OO0
In Peru and Bolivia serious revolutions
are going on. These are disorganiZing
trade. Ecuador is in condition of tncip-
lent revolt against the dictatorship of
President Eloy Alfaro. and strong revo-
lutionary movement, directed by the cler-
ical party and supported by majority of
the people, is said to be in course of or
ganization on Peruvian soil. In Colombia
civil war is raging. The plague and the
wars are reacting seriously on trade and
industry. The most significant indication
is the turning backward of the stream
of English, German and other European
commercial travellers. The coast trade thus
far has suffered little. but from Chile to
Colombia internal trade is almost paral-
wed and the steamers are sailing with
little or return without freight.

A soon as Orrin CrItchlow, of Frank

the son Of Thomas Fl. CritchlOw, he
will receive $4,000 IN cold cash from
Alexander Snyder. Snyder and the
elder Critchlow were prospectOrs in

Snyder promised the dying nan to
give his son Onerhalf of the amount
he should make in the business because
Critchlow had befrlended him. Sny-

WANTS THE RESERVE FUND
A STOCKHOLDERS SUES SOUTH.
WESTERN RAILROAD.
says 100000 Placed in the Reserve
Fund Should Have Been Applied
to Payment of Dividends.

Mr.. Robert NJ. Farrar of Atlanta has
sued the directors Of the Southwestern
railroad to compel them to turn loose
about 100000 now tied up as reserve
fund.
The complaint is that the directors
have no authority in law for keeping
the money from the stockholders, and
he wants the court to compel them TO
pay it over as dividends.
The suit. was filed in Bibb superior
court.
The allegations are that when the
Southwestern was reOrganized few
years ago about 100000 was due to it
by the the Central railroad company
on its lease contract, and all but $780,
600 was properly paid out as fees and
dividends. This $50, 900 was put aside
by the directors as a reserve fund, and
it has now accumulated to about $780,
600. The plaintiff can see no need for
keeping this money tied up and as it
would make a pretty handsome dlvi
dend on the 100000 of stock he wish
es to have IL so applied. He holds
| fifty eight shares of the stock.
