QUAY CASE TAKEN Up
Senate Voted 81 to % to Con-
slider It.
DANIEL OPENED THE DEBATE
Resumption Of Discussion Of the Ha-
waiiHn Dill-Pettigrew's BOer
Resolution.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Today's ses-
sion of the senate was unusually inter-
esting from the very beginning. In
spite Of vigorous and influential oppo
sition, Penrose, OF Pennsylvania, sue
ceeded in getting the Quay case before
the senate. and during the afternoon
three notable speeches were delivered.
After sharp parliamentary squabble,
Penrose moved that the resolution in.
volving the seating of Quay be taken up
for consideration. On an aye and no
vote the motion prevailed, "a to %.
The majority was so decisive as to
cause some surprise. 1t is known that
some senators who will vote, il the op
portunity he offerd, to seat Quay, today
voted against the consideration of the
case, while on the contrary others who
voted for consideration probably will
vote against seating him. The vote
cannot, therefore, be regarded as a test
of Quay's absolute strength in the sem
ate. Following the taking up of the
resolution, Daniel, of Virginia, deliver
ed q speech in which he vigorously sup
ported Quay's right toa seat. Vest, Of
Missouri, and Foraker, of Ohio, deliv-
cred notable speeches anent the Ha-
waiian government bill. Both were
constitutional arguments, Foraker's
being reply to that OF Vest.

PRESERVE FORESTS.
Government Will Attempt to Induce the
Adoption Of Conservative Meth.
DDS Of LAUNDERING.

The attempt OF the government to
induce the adoption OF conservative
methods OF numbering in order to pre-.
serve the national resources, and the
responsive interest taken by timber
owners, have brought up many interest
ing legal questions, and the division OF
forestry has found it necessary to make
extensive researches in this direction.
As a result, a circular dealing with the
laws which affect forests is in course
Of preparation and will be sent free to
persons interested. One of the most
important points brought out is the
recognition by law Of the prospective
value OF growing timber. The posi-.
bility of protitably carrying on lumber
ing with systematic provision for future
cutting depends upon this point. 1t
has usually been held that when, by
tresspass, or by INSCRIPTIONS cutting
by contractors, timber has been re.
moved contrary to the owners wish,
he could recover only its stumpage
value. As forestry usually requires
that u certain number of trees OF Ger.
tain size he left, it follows that an UNI
scrupulous contractor could easily upset
the plans Of years with little fear OF
punishment. The supreme court, how
ever, has recently ruled that the differ
snce in value between logged and UNI
logged land depends not only on the
value of the timber removed, but on
it's probable increase had it been left
untouched.

Index IA lsrcnt Calnp.

Without doubt the most important
event in the history of the Index.
WASH, district was the uncovering Of
the four-ioot ledge OF high grade copper
lance in the Ethel mine last week. at a
vertical depth OF 440 feet. What adds
additional value to this discovery is
the fact the same identical ledge en-
countered at a depth of only 1875 feet.
in the John D. adjoining. yields cop.
per values OF but $40 to $l3. This is
tangible, indubitable evidence that the
mineral veins in the district increase
in value as depth is attained. Since
the publication Of this good news re.
newed interest in the great copper
camp is manifest. There have been a
great many more people visiting the
camp since this discovery was made
than for some time prior thereto.
There can he no doubt but that scores
of other properties in the district run
into high grade bornite and copper
glance, carrying also gold and silver,
the only thing required being depth
to convert them into some of the great.
est and richest mines in the world.
Beyond question, by the middle OF the
following summer, there will be many
equally rich strikes on other Index
property.

His Last stand.
London, Feb. 24.-General CrOnje Is
seemingly making his last stand. lie
is dying hard, hemmed in ny British
infantry, and with shells from 80 guns
falling into his camp. On the third
day OF the fight, the Boer chief asked
for an armistice to bury his dead.
Fight to finish or surrender uncon.
ditionally," was Lord kitchener's re.
ply. General Cronje Immediately sent
back word that his request for II truce
had been misunderstood, and that his
determination then, rs before, was to
fight to the death. The battle went on {.
This was the situation Of General
Cronje Tuesday evening. as sketched in
the scanty kilograms that have emerged
from the semi.silence OF South Africa.
Officially, Lord Roberts wires that he
has scattered the advance commandos
OF the reinforcements that were striving
to reach General Cronje. 1t is re.
garded as singular that Lord Roberts,
wiring Wednesday, should not mention
the appeal for All armistice on the pre-.
vious day, and also that the war office
should withhold good news, if it has
any.
Without trying to reconcile even the
scanty materials at hand, it seems
plain that General Cronje is in bad,
and even desperate situation, and
that the British are pressing their
advance.
While the attack on General CrOnje
proceeds, there is a race for cOncentra-
tion between the Beers and the Brit.
ish. The engagement with General
Cronje's 5000 to 5000 entrenched men
is likely to become an incident IN n
battle between the masses. The sep.
arate fractions of the Boer power are
rapidly drawing together to attack
Lord Roberts.
The British are facing the Beers on
ground where the arms, tactics and
training of the British are expected t.
give them the advantage
General Butler, according to dis.
patch from Chevelcy, dated Wednes-
day, finds the Beers in position north
OF the Tugela largely reinforced. This
seems strange.
The war office, for the first time,
has given ont AL official compilation
OF the British losses. The total is H..
2S0 to February Z. This does not in.
clude, therefore, Lord Roberts recent
losses. nor the Wiltshire prisoners.
The British losses ut Koedoe's Rand
were 700.

KANSAS CITY, JULY 4
Place and Time of Demo.
cratic National Convention.
CHOSEN AT COMMITTEE MEETING
Arguments Of the Rival Cities-Brymn's
Name Received with
Cheers.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The next
Democratic national convention will be
held ut Kansas City, July 1. This
was the decision of the Democratic
national committee, which met at the
Hotel Raleigh today to fix the time and
place Of holding the convention. Mil.
waukee was the only city which com.
peted for the honor of entertaining the
convention, and the poor showing she
made when the vote was taken (the re.
suit being KANSAS City 40, Milwaukee
~ caused general surprise.
The claims OF the rival cities as to
hotel accommodations and railroad and
telegraphic facilities were presented in
open session by representatives of each
city, and subsequently in the executive
session. Governor w. j. Stone, OH be-
half OF Kansas City, and National Conn
mitteeman f.. g. Wall, ON behalf OF
Milwaukee, explained the financial in
ducements which the cities they repre-.
scented were willing to make. Each
offered the committee 500, 900, but in
addition Kansas City was willing to
furnish hotel accommodations for the
members Of the committee, and the
hall, with decorations and music, free
OF expense to the committee.
1t seemed to be taken for gran ted by
at least two speakers that Bryan would
be renominated and that the Chicago
platform in substance would be re.
affirmed. Opposition to trusts, expan-
sion and Imperialism, together with
every mention Of Bryan and the Chi
cago platform, aroused enthusiasm, but
during the open session of the commit
tee there was no allusion to the issue
OF free silver.
Three dates for holding the conven.
ton were proposed-May 8, by Mr..
Townsend, OF Oregon; June IA, by Sen.
.ator Tillman, of South Carolina, and
July 1, by Mr.. McGraw, OF West Nir-
ginia. A speech by ex-senator Cor
man on holding TO precedent and NAM
lug date later than that for the con-
vention of the party in power had con.
siderable influence in causing lnde-
pendence Day to be chosen.
After the committee had selected the
"'iate City of the West" the Kansas
City boomers held a jolitication meet
ing in their rooms at the Raleigh.
Governor Stone addressed the gath
ering, predicting that those who attend
ed the convention would depart with

Rich strike in Idaho.

Reliable mining men who have seen
the famous strike made by Mr.. Lamer-
eaux, near Elk City, Idaho. say that
the Lamereaux ledge lies underneath
about six feet of wash, and is ~ to IA
inches wide. Some OF the ore seems to
be phenominally rich. The rich cham
mel is only about six feet long. Two
hundred feet from this channel the ore
will not run over $l5 or $50 to the ton.
1t is what the mining men call CHM
ney. The quartz is finn and in place,
thus differing from most OF the rich
discoveries that have been made from
time to time, and would seem to indi-
cate that it will probably extend down
to considerable depth. The find is
evidently one OF great Importance as
