Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 1.-The first
sign of dissension in the Democratic
ranks has come, as a result of the Nc
Carroll bill to prevent district attor-
neys from setting aside jurors. The
bill passed the senate finally yester-
day by the votes of the Quay mem

the subject of a lively discussion by
caucus of the Democratic members CT
the house.
A resolution was introduced pledging
the Democrats to vote TO postpone con-
sideration of the measure when it is
taken up by the house until Feb. 81.
Four representatives opposed the reso-
luton, and stated that they would vote
for the bill when it came up in the
house. The others declared that it was
d mistake to vote for the bill at this
time, and urged their colleagues TO

Meeting of Passenger Association
Mr.. Bancrcft's Denial-Short
Line Will Not Build from State
line Railway Notes.

A morning paper reports that the
Oregon Short Line is to INCORPORATE
and bring about the extension of the
Utah & Pacific through Nevada. Vice
President and General Manager Ban
croft was approached for information
on the subject and replied that there
is not one word of truth in such re-
port, so far as he knows. Mr.. Ban
croft said: You may say that the
Oregon Short Line has nothing to do
with any incorporation. We have not
considered any such move as reported,
nor do we expect to. l know nothing
of it, except what 1 saw in the paper
today"
To Utah & Pacific officials, the story
is really laughable, and is, of course,
discredited by them.
While it is a fact that the Utah x
Pacific has thus far Incorporated to
build only to the Stateline, it is wholly
unreasonable to suppose that the Short
Line would make the extension or do
more than maintain its present friendly
relation with the new road so long as
its present interests are so closely al
lied with other systems of the west.
More than this, the Utah & Pacific Of
fic;aIS yesterday said that whatever
was done in the way of extending their
line would be under their direction and
by the original company.

Chicago. Feb. 2.-The executive board
of the National Live Stock Exchange,
at meeting today, adopted resolutions
deprecating the agitation caused by the
unjust statements reported to have
been made by officials high in author
ity, notably those made by Major Cen
eral a. Miles, against the greatest in
dustry OF the United States. greatly to
the detriment of producers of live stock
and affecting alike our foreign and do
nestle trade, which result is now be-

The resolutions protest against these
''unwarranted statements" as causing
losses amounting to millions Of dollars,
and urge the national government to
invite foreign governments to make a
critical examination of the methods
employed at all the principal markets
in handling live stock and dressing and
preserving meats.

A PREMATURE EXPLOSION.
Cuban Agent at London Issues a
Ridiculous Statement

London, Feb. "A former captain
in the Cuban army, Juan Fernandez,
the London representative of General
Maxine Gomez, issued, by order OF the
latter, today, previous TO the receipt
here of the Remedies dispatch of the
associated Press showing the settle
ment of the great Cuban difficulty, q
long, bombastic statement, purporting
10 explain the situation in Cuba. He
said:
'The proffered $4,000, 600 for the pay
ment Of the Cuban troops has been re-
fused as totally inadequate to meet the
expenses and losses of the troops, many
OF whom have lost all proofs that they
are owners of property, which is now
being monopoliZed by the American
capitalists and railroad magnates.
Even twice the $50, 900, 600 demanded by
General Gomez would not properly re-
pay the Cubans. We all respect Presi-
dent Mckinley and the Americans, but
we have nJ respect for the petty Off
Gals employed by the United States
government, who are exercising as bad
tyranny toward the Cubans as did the
Spaniards. This tyranny and lack of
money is driving the Cubans headlOng

WHAT THE U. P. WANTS.
Meeting of General Passenger Agents
of Western Roads.

Chicago. Feb. General passenger
agents of western roads met today to
take action regarding the proposed re-
organization of the Western Passenger
association, and good progress was
made toward an agreement. The 800"
line was the only important road not
represented.
General Passenger Agent LomaX of
the Union Pacific was not present dur
ing the morning session, but appeared
in the afternoon. Much depends upon
the action of the latter road, as it is
the only trans Missouri road not en-
tirely favorable to the formation of an
association covering all territory west
of Chicago, ST. Louis and St Paul to
the Rocky mountains. The Union Pa
cifc wants two associations. one east
and one west of the Missouri river.
The Santa Fe and other western
roads want an association to cover the
entire territory, but if this cannot be
obtained, they Will be satisfied to get
an agreement covering all business as
far west as Colorado common points.
They are not inclined. however. to ac-
cede to the Union Pacific's demand for
an independent association west of the
Missouri river It viii probably require
a session of three or four days to dis
pose of the questions under considera-
ton

TO its representatives.
Fifth-The committee on distribution
shall use its best endeaVorS to distrib-
ute ii among the population, so that all
may secure work.
Sixth-That the 100000 shall be
placed subject TO the order of General
Brooke, and that action in the matter
shall be immediate.
General Gomez was rendered public
reception this evening. and Nj. Porter
was among those present.
The success of Mr.. PoFter's mission
greatly simplifles the returning Of the
military Cuhans TO the pursuits of
peace.
IN view of General Gomez's supposed
prior attitude of hostility towards the
United States, Mr.. Porter came here
clothed. with absolute authority. and
the tender of 100000 was practically
a verbal ultimatum. Had it not been
accepted, no more proposals would
have been made.
Mr.. Porter made plain the purpose of
the government, and was gratified at
the ready response Of General Gomez
CUBAN ESTIMATES.
General Gomez made the point in his
discussion with Mr.. Porter that the
estimate of the amount wanted for the
army was not his, but that of the Gu
ban assembly. 1t was then that he
brought in his reference to using the
grant like the loaves and fishes.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press understands that the estimate
furnished President Mckinley by the
delegation from the Cuban assembly
called for payment of 5.119 commits
stoned officers, 9,762 on-cOmmissioned
officers and 30.160 privates, divided as
follows, with totals estimated as due
each grade:
Eleven major generals, $500 month,
SIS, 450; nineteen generals Of division,
$3.50 a month, 1896, 175; fifty-four briga-
der generals, $500 a month, $6S2, S25; 163
colonies, $500 a month. $1,491, $50; 290
lieutenant colonies, $275 a month, 81,
1862, 500; SIS majors, 1920 q, month, So,
$50, 240; 500 captains, Sl30 a month, S4,
SCI, 500; 1,245 lieutenants, 500 a month,
So, 763, 200; 1874 sub-lieutenants, $50 a
month, s4,952, $50; 2,13O first sergeants,
500 a month, So, 79e, eco; 3, 12S second ser
geants, $50 q month, S6,605, 500; $4,509
corporals, $40 a month. s., 23S, 240; 50,160
privates, $50 a month, 81. 500, $40. Total,
44,0f0 men, S57, 800, $50.
It is doubtful whether as many men
still under arms can be found as was
estimated by the assembly's delegation.
Large numbers. however, are scattered
throughout the island, though there is
no great force at any one place. Cen
eral Gomez has only 400 with him here.

Today General Gomez is preparing for

tude of the old fighter is much mora
cordial than was anticipated by Mr..

10 meeE the special commissions Of the
president, and he is evidently much
gratified at the prospect Of the early
solution OF the disarmament problem
The money will be sent on Commits
sioner PorUer's order to General Brooke,

Cuban and American officers in the

As agreed upon at yesterdays con-
ference, the entire amount viii be in

Gently returned to Cuba. The late Cen

this amount would be satisfactory.
The correspondent of the Associated

and that report was submitted which
has not yet been made public. The fig
