ACCEPTS JOINT NOTE.
China Surprises. the World and Asks Ces.
sation Of UOstilities.

The Havas agency at Paris, France,
has received the following dispatch
from Pekin:
prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang
have communicated to the foreign en-
voys an imperial edict in which the
emperor declares that China accepts
the joint note and recognizes Prince
Ching aud LII Hung Chang to speak for
n suspension of hostilities. Prince
Ching and Iii Hung Chang, according
to another dispatch to- the Havas
agency, say that Emperor Kwang Su
has expressed "a desire that the court
should return to Pekin at the end OF
February"
A Pekin dispatch says: The Chinese
Observation-Disclosures have been unexcept-
eddy ordered To sign the preliminary
Joint note and have notified the foreign
ENJOYS to that effect.
The Chinese themselves are greatly
astonished at receiving the imperial in
struetions.
Neither Ii Hung Chang nor Prince
Ching had expected success in persuad-
ing the court under ten days.
The instructions are to agree fully
to the note, hut to endeavor to get the
best terms possible, particularly the
matter of limiting the number of lega-
ton guards; also a. to the place where
these are to bc located. The pienipo-
tentiaries are instructed to endeavOr
tn limit the number of army posts
along the line II railway to as few as
possible and finally to require the pow
ers not to destroy the forts, but merely
Ia diSarm them.
The foreign communities in Pekin
are greatly satisfied at the decided tone
Of the collective note and the asser-
ton that the powers are determined
to entertain no proposals for the modi-
tcation of their demands. 1t is under
stood that Iii Hung Chang sent a me
mortal to the throne, couched in very
strong terms, urging complete compli-
encc.

SEARS ISSpEAKER
House Members Make Selection
Unanimous.
REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE LEGISLATURE
Senator steele Of jefferson County Il
Chosen President PRO Tenn Of the
seuate-several Contests Present
20 Bother the Ia~ lawmakers.

The Legislature Of Nebraska 81 arted
the twentieth century oft in a proper
manner by getting both houses organ
lied New Years day without a hitch
and practically unanimous.
The senate used it's old machinery at
the start, Lieutenant Governor Gilbert
presiding, and the old officers being in
their places. With experienced men in
charge the organization was perfected
without delay. Senator Steele of JEFF
fer son, being the oldest member Of the
body In point Of service, was elected
president pro tem.
The senate committee on credentials
that was appointed took no note of
pending contests. Senator Olcson, re-
publican from Cunning county may
have to show the ~fusionists that he is
entitled to his seat, and Senators Ran
som and Liddell, fusionists, from Doug
las are already confronted with con
tests. The committee on credentials
seated all the members who received "a
majority on the face Of the returns
and who had received certificates of
election. The committee was powcrlcss
TO report on the contests because no
official notice of contests is before the
senate.
The house session passed along
smoothly, nothing out of the ordinary
occurring. The elective officers of the
house who were selected Monday night
in caucus were elected, the fusionists
moving the election Of u separate list
without avail. The members and the
officers of the house were sworn in by
Chief Justice Norval and they sub
scribed their names to the oath in ac-
cordance with custom.
An unhcard Of action of the fusion
it's was the unanimous selection of
Mr.. Sears for speaker. Politicians say
nc speaker In the state ever before was
elected unanimously. II occurred in "a
peculiar manner The secretary Of
state had not provided printed roll calls
and a number of type written ones
were made out. These were soon ex-
hausted and when the roll was called
on speaker the tabulation Of the votes
was extended from II roll call that had
been used before.
The clerk got confused in calling the
names aud rather than call the list OF
.aMes over again or verify the roll
call, the fusion candidate for speaker
moved TO make the selection unani-
nous. II was a neat compliment
to MIR, Sears, IL the ~fusionists in
tended to place themselves on record
as in favor OF the republican speaker.

Ignatius Donnclty. known as 1.-The
Sage Of N%inigincr," has been conspic-
uous in the political aud literary field

TO Minnesota t~hirty-five years ago, and
since that time had been IA member OF
both houses of the state Legislature

grcss.
During his many years in the legis-
lature he was a power. He was an able

upon his opponent.
Mr.. Donnclly was an able and deep
thinker. Shakespeare formed n OF
his most absorbing topics and he was
a thorough Shakespearian scholar.

for his writings.
Mr.. Donnelly married about three
years ago Miss Hanson, a daughter OF
Barton Hanson of this city and since
that time they have made their home
in Minneapolis, although Mr.. Donnel-
ly owned several farms where they
