Lincoln, Neb. Mach 27.-An unasallins
conference of the Republicans of the leg
islature and an equally futile effort to
hold d caucus on a new call marked the
closing struggle in the Nebraska senator
ial canvass.
Indications at midnight tonight are that
the deadlock will outIast the session, the
last legislative day of which is tomorrow,
and that Nebraska for two years will be
unrepresented in the upper house OF con-
gress, barring. of course, the possibility
of an extra session of the legislature,
which is remote.
The day and night has been marked by
vain appeals to the ten Republicans who
are holding out against u. +. Thompson
to cease their opposition and enter the
caucus or give him their votes in joint
convention. Counter propositions came
from the anti-ThompSon men to the ma

take up any other two Republicans in

Washington, March 27.-The British

power touchizg territorial or financial
matters until the present troubles in
that country are concluded. The fact
of the British protest was made known
here for the first time today by. a dis

Although the Russian agreement IS
not specifically referred to. it is said
to be clear that the British action is
directed against the Russian agree

similar to that used by Secretary Hay
in the American protest. The effect OF
the British action is to place the Unit
ed States, Japan and Great Britain IN
formal opposition to the signing of a
convention by China with any power
pending the settlement of the Chinese
troubles. The course of Great Britain
is the more significant from the fact
that that government and Germany
