NEBRASKA SENATORSHIPS
REPUBLIcANs WATCH THE FIGHT
WITH ANXIETY.
1t is Believed That Reasonable
Caucus Rule Would End the
Difficulty of Election.

Republicans are watching the progress of
the fight over the Nebraska senatorships
| with considerable anxiety. The party hav-
ing already been deprived of two senators
from Delaware through the obstinacy Of
personal ambition and personal enmities,
the prospect of being cut out of two more
through petty jealousies is not pleasing to
| republican managers. 1t is feared that the
next legislature of Delaware may be dem
ocratic on account of the bitter antagonism
between republican factions in the state,
which would mean that two democrats
would be elected to fill seats in the Senate
to which the republicans are entitled. If
Nebraska follows the example of Delaware
similar result may follow. The loss of
four senators through the stubbornness Of
ambitious candidates cannot be contem-
plated with complacency.
1t Is suggested that there is not the same
reason for continued deadlock in Ne
Draska that existed in Delaware, since
there is no actual division of the party,
and Individual ambition alone stands in
the way OF a settlement. 1t is believed that
reasonable caucus rule would result in
the speedy settlement of the question, and
that the two strongest men would win and
the party be saved from the loss of two
senators II the ordinary methods of ma
Jority rule were adopted. The ordinary
caucus rules in state legislatures and in
Congress recognize the right of majority
of the party to decide a question for the
party.
But the method being operated in Ne
braska is such as to render a decision next
to impossible The weaker candidates in
sist that the republican caucus must be at
tended by number equal to a majority Of
the whole legislature and that two more
than two-thirdS of the caucus must vote
for a candidate to secure his nomina ton.
The presence of a number of candidates.
each receiving but a small support is suff1-
cient to prevent a nomination under such
conditions. Ii Is feared that unless the
majority rule is adopted there may be no
election and that the opposition party will
be given an opportunity at another elec-
tion to get the Legislature before the places
are filled. If not this. then it may come
about that the minority party will make
combination with the friends of some one
of the republican candidates and elect one
republican and Allen, the populist, instead
of two republicans.

FISH COMMISSION CHANGE
DIR. HESSEL SUCCEEDED BY MIR
CHARLES A. GREEN,
Bass and Crappfe I'm the POtomac-Im-
prOvements at Bryan's Point
Shad Station.

Mr.. Rudolph HesseI, who for seventeen
years has been the superintendent OF the
ponds OF the United States fish commits
sion, commonly known as the carp ponds,
near the Washington monument, has been
succeeded in he~positian by Mr.. Charles
A. Green of New York. The latter entered
upon his duties today.
The ponds are being Overhauled and i'm
proved and will be henceforth devoted ex-
clusively to the propagation Of bass and
crappie for stocking the Potomac river.
Several years ago the fish commission
placed a number OF large-mouthed black
bass and crapple in the Potomac below
Great and Little Falls. Some idea Of the
manner in which the two varieties have
increased may be formed when it is stated
as a matter Of record that 5000 pounds
of the former were marketed last year out
of the Potomac and a large amount of
crappte, exact figures for the latter not
being at present obtainable.
shad Season at Bryan's Point.
Operations at the shad station at Bryans

this important work. is compl citing arrange
mentS for 1t, and II Will De prosecuted this
season on a larger scale than ever before.
The fish commission is now having a
wharf built at Bryan's Point, where all
Potomac river steamers will land, and this
Improvement will serve double purpose.
It will afford quicker transmission of the
eggs to the incubating places in this city
and permit the many citizens who are in
terested In fish culture an opportunity to
conveniently visit the station at Bryaa's

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE opening
Ierel this morning reflected some slight
frregularity in prices, but In a majority of
instances fractional gains were recorded
The coal stocks were made features for a
time as the result OF more encouraging ad-
vices relative to the decreasing probabfli-
ties of a strike. Erie first preferred was up 1
per cent in London and opened here at a
similar level Reading issues were strong
under an active demand, while all the
higher priced shares moved up under mod
crate dealings.
The buying in this group was said to be
mixed In character, but considerable stock
was taken for the long account
Ihe miners are apparently satisfied with
the voluntary extension of the ante-election
wage scale and the only disappointment
now likely is a radical and prohibitive at
tftude on the part Of the labor union The
buying today indicates belief In continued
harmony, however. and efforts will GER
tainly be made to that end

which burlington is to be substituted for
ern advanced per cent during the morn
ing under the combined influence of such a
deal and the probable granting OF rights to

was strong also while Burlington sold up
over 151 under an excellent demand
Southwestern issues were all strong Mis-
souri, racine and Texas Pacific rejecting a
good inquiry. Developments of great con-
sequence are promised in that section and
the entire group finds ready market on all
declines. The territory has suddenly become
profitable and IL is but reasonable to expect
a thorough development of its resources
Pennsylvania's interest In the soft coal
shares is made the subject OF much dis
cussion and all sorts of new plans are
rumored as being on the verge of announce
ment. The Chesapeake and Ohio lease is
denied, but finds believers, nevertheless
Norfolk and Western is strong at top
prices, because Pennsylvania is supposed to
be working its way into a stronger posi-
tfon In that company. Baltimore and Ohio
Is another of the lines which figures in the
gossip as being certain Of absorption by
Pennsylvania
While nothing definite is given out on
these projects the street Is inclined TO be-
lieve in most of them. The Louisville.
Nashville-Seaboard deal is not confirmed
but some important announcement may be
expected during the week.
The buying of Sugar was called good
again today, in spite of the selling by the

The buying Of Amalgamated Copper Was

NO CAUSE FOR ANY ALARM
TREASURY STATEMENT REGARDING
THE PLAGUE IN CALIFORNIA.


Upon the persistent publication of a re-
port that bubonic plague existed in San
Francisco. the Treasury Department some
weeks ago appointed a commission of ex-
perts to examine into and report upon the
situation. That report has been received
at the Treasury Department. but the au-
thorities are not disposed to make 1t public
at this time. Almost simultaneously with
the receipt of that report a delegation of
prominent citizens of San Francisco arrived
here and have since had a number of con-
ferences with the Treasury Department
officials in regard to the matter. This dele
CATION today gave out the following state
ment:

. Some disputes having arisen between the
authorities as to the health condition in
California, and the quarantine at San Fran
cisco. commission was appointed by Gov.
Gage and Mayor Phelin to confer with the
health authorities at Washington. Meetings
have been held with the Secretary of the
Treasury. Lyman ]. Gage. and with Assist
ant Secretary Spaulding and Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman. at which it was ELECTED that
no single case of disease has ever been
found in California CT the infectious Eliho-
pneumonia type and that all the cases ex-
OF non-contagious character. The federal
authorities have expressed themselves as
amply satisfied that California is able to
protect the other states of the Union and
herself from any species of epidemic, and
instead of a condition existing that calls for
federal interference the representatives of
the surgeon generals office now in San
Francisco is in hearty accord with the city
and state authorities.
California Is doing her duty; she has no
epidemic now and never has had. There
has not even been a report Of a supposed
case of plague for twenty-three days, and
the death rate in Chinatown is now the
lowest it has been for ten years.
ANY statement that the Treasury De-
partment or the surgeon generals depart
ment has taken charge of health affairs in
fiedly false
No Cause for Alarm.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding also made
the following statement: THE published
reports of the existence of hubonic plague
In San Francisco should excite no alarm
there or in the country at large.
1.-THE plague is not epidemic there, and
do not believe 1t will be. 1 would feel as
safe living in San Francisco as in Wash
ington. The travelling and business public
can communicate as safely with San Fran
cisco today as a year ago. The Treasury
Department is fully advised Of the situa-
ton. and speaks with confidence in denying
any occasion for alarm on account Of the
health conditions of San Francisco"
Senator Bard Of California also denied
the existence of the plague in San Fran
cisco and said there has merely been a
difference of opinion between state and
federal authorities.

Many Applications for Places In the
Army.


There are about 10000 applications on
file at the War Department for about 500
vacancies still existing in the commissioned
grades In the army under the terms of
the army reorganization law of January
last. Being almost hopeless of satisfying
the many important conflicting interests in
these appointments. the President Is sert-
ously considering the adoption of a plan
suggested by Adjutant General Corbin,
whereby the entire list of vacancies shall
be filled by the appointment of the most
deserving volunteers now in the service.
The plan finds many advocates at the War
Department as being simple and praise
worthy and in the best interests of the
service If it is adopted it will relieve the
President of the opportunities of politf-
clans and will remove the legion of civilian
applicants from further consideration. The
plan will be vigorously opposed, however,
by the politicians, and is said to be too
radical to stand much chance of adoption.
