THE SENATE

Washington, April 1S.-During almost the entire session of the senate today the Alaskan civil code bill was under consid, eration. In this connection MT. Stewart of Nevada delivered an address of nearly three hours upon the mining laws of the United States and their relation to the proposed amendment of MT. Hansbrough as to the rights of alien locaters of claims. MT. Nelson of Minnesota, MT. Carter of Montana and Mr. Teller of Colorado, dis cussed the pending amendment at length, both MT. Nelson and MT. Teller being par- ticularly vigorous in their denuncatiou of it.
 An effort was made by MT. Money of Mississippi and several of his democratic colleagues to obtain consideration for the bill to revive and amend an act to provide for the collection of abandoned property and the prevention of frauds in insurrec- tionary districts within the United States and acts amendatory thereof.
 Strong opposition to the bill developed on the part of MT. Hale of Maine, MT. Chandler of New Hampshire MT. Warren >t Wyoming, and others.
 Mir Hale declared that the bill, if pass ed would subject the United States treas- ury to drain of probably S15O,Oo0OOO
 Hales Statement Unchailenged
 MT. Money challenged MT. Hale's state- ment, saying that the bill would take no such amount; that it involved only $5,000.- OOO and that a trust fund for which the measure provided was means of It's distri- button to it's proper owners
 MT. Teller of Colorado, as friend of the bill, urged MT. Money not to press the measure at this time, as some further in- formation was needed by the senate before it acted upon the bill. The bill needed amendment, he said. but he thought it would be passed without serious delay when understood by the senate.
 MT. Money gave notice that he would call up the bill next Wednesday. The senate then resumed consideration of the Alaskan civil code bill
 MT. Stewart addressed the senate on the pending Hansbrough amendment in oppo- stion to any change in the mining laws of the United States
 The debate developed a sharp colloquy between Senators Teller and Carter. after which the bill was laid aside. The senate at 5:15 went into executive session, and at 525 adjourned.

WHEELER HAS NOT
 RESIGNED HIS SEAT
The Repor9s Issued Are Inaccurate-he Sim ply Has SIgnified That He Desires
 Another Election Held.

Washington, April 1s-(Special) )-The re- port that General Wheeler has resigned his seat in congress is not accurate. Wheeler simply signifed to the people of his dis trict that a special election to choose his successor would not be objectionable, thinking the district unrepresented long enough. The section preventing admis- sion to congress while holding commits sion in volunteer army, made the congress sional seat vacant, which agrees with the views of the best lawyers in the house, including Speaker Henderson. It is im- probable that General Wheeler will run again for congress. A. H.

BR0WNLOW- W-EVANS
 CONTEST TODAY
Bitter Fractional Fight Between
 Tennessee Republicans.
DELEGATES ARE ARRIVING
Was Held Yesterday, But Only Tended to Intensity the
 Strained Relations

Nashville Tenn, April 1S.-The state re- publican convention meets here tomorrow. There is every indication of sensational developments and it seems certain there will be a split. The bitter factional fight between National Committeeman Brown low on the one side and Commissioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans on the other has assumed national interest. Tonight it is conceded that the national convention will have to pass on the matter. Two sets of delegates to Philadelphia as well as a pair of tickets in the state campaign, are sure to result from tomorrows proceedings.
 Today's session of the executive commit tee but served to intensity the already strained situation. Over a mighty protest from the Evans people the Brownlow ma- jority decided to permit only uncontested delegates to enter the convention hall to- morrow. Admission will be by tickets is- sued by the committee, signed by the chairman and secretary thereof. As con tests are settled the successful delegates will be admitted.
 Evans Claims Thirty-four Counties
 The Evans side claims it has delegates from thirty-four counties, a majority of
  them. It is urged further that not con test has been filed from that side, and that if any such appears on the contest list 1t IS BroWnloWs work. It is also asserted that contests have been filed from thirty seven counties by the Brownlow faction, and that through this Evans supporters will be barred from the hall. Henry R. Gibson will be temporary chairman of the conven- ton, and Walter P. Brownow himself will preside over the permanent organizations The Brownlow delegates from the state at large, according to tonights slate, 3.are Henry R. Gibson, Foster V. Brown, G. N Tillman and John E.. Mccall.
 Brownlow has declared he is not an .as- pirant.
 John B. Mccall will be the nominee for governor
 The Evans ticket in the split convention will be:
 For delegates at large-H. Clay Evans. J. A. Fowler, J. c. Napier (colored and James G. Jeffreys.

THE REPUBLICAN RANKS TORN

Washington, April 1S-(Special)-O. W. Underwood of Alabama is one of the younger members of congress from the south, who has made a mark in the house and who is constantly growing in promin- ence and influence MT. Underwood repre- sents the ninth Alabama district, and is serving his third term in congress. AS the democratic whip, his views on the politi- cal outlook are of considerable interest. In answer to- inquiries he said
 q believe MT. Bryan's renomnation for the presidency is foregone conclusion. doubt whether there will be any opposition from any state when the convention meets, and I firmly believe that he will be nom- mated on the first ballot by exclamation.
 '"rhere has been a great change in sen- timent in the east in reference to MT. Bryans renomination. Up to this time 16S delegates have been selected and of these 104 have been instructed for MT. Bryan, from Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Four years ago these three states were bitterly opposed to his nomin- ation. In these three states were found some of the strongest advocates of the Palmer and Buckner ticket, but today we find a democracy united in its support of the democratic candidate of four years ago. Not only in these three states, but also in the other eastern and New Eng land states we find hundreds of prominent men, who were opposed to Mir Bryan in the last presidential election, openly de- claring their support for his renomination and reelection.
 AnUnbroken Front
 When we find such prominent men as Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier Journal and Ex-Assistant Secretary of the Navy William McAdoo of New Jersey, who are now falling in line with the old guard of the democracy, no one can doubt that when the battle takes place next Novem- Der, the democratic party will present an unbroken line in support of its presidential candidate.
 "In my experience here, I have never known the republican party, both as to the individuals and the republican press, to be as bitterly divided and torn apart as they are at present on account of the position the administration has taken on the Porto Rican question. Of course, this is only the forerunner of the administration policy as to the administration in the other newly acquired islands. It is evident that this policy is not sustained by the people or the press of the country. With united democracy confronting the republican party in it's present disorganized condition, I can not but believe that we have every reason to hope that we will be successful in the next battle for the presidency"
