far reaching effect not cnly in this case,
but as a precedent, had been very. ex-
haustively discussed, the construction
being that the action of the president
pro tenn in striking the names of the
South Carolina senators from his roll
and his refusal of a request to have
their names called was beyond preced-
ent in the senate and not entirely JUS
titled.
On this account it was decided that
this particular phase of the question
should be Immediately taken up by the
committee on privileges and elections.
Senator Burrows, who is chairman of
that committee, was called into the con-
ference and the details of carrying out the
plan was entrusted to him. 1t was di-
rected that a resolution should be formu-
lated providing for the temporary suSpen-
sion of the two senators, and this resolu-
tion should be passed by Mr.. Burrows
committee and presented to the senate IS
soon as possible after the converting of
that body. tomorrow. The general opin-
ion of the senators present was that the
South Carolina men should be punished to
some extent for the alteration of Satur
day. and the senators We're quite agreed
that suspension would be the most prac-
ticable and reasonable form of inf1icting
this punishment The question of time
was left indefinite. the understanding was
that this should be decided by the commit
tee, which meets tomorrow morning.

GERMANY WANTS MORE
Other Powers Asked to Scale
Down Their Chinese Claims.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The United
States government has proposed to the
powers concerned in the Chinese treaty
that they consent to a pro rata reduc-
ton of claims so as to maintain the to-
tai within the sum of 450. e00, ,0G0 taels which
the powers agreed to accept from China
as full indemnity for the boxer ou--
RACES. Germany has discovered that she
placed her claim too low and has de-
manded an increase in allowance of TO-
OO0, 600 taels and if this is to be met tie
other signatory powers must agree 10
submit to the pro rata deduction of that
sum from their own original allotmenrs.
The United States is firmly opposed 10
any attempt to extort from China more
than the $50, 0,000, 900 taels and it will at
tempt to avaoid the creation of a pre-
.cedent to be followed by the other pow
ers in the allowance of this German
claim.

the Sixth will have to put UP "a fight,

it will be because of a combination

But one of Hanna's sources of
strength is also weakness. He has the

restore the names of the two South
Carolina senators to the senate roll. If
the present plan is carried out this act
will be followed by the adoption by the
senate of a resolution before a vote on
any other subject is taken practically
endorsing the action of the president
pro tenn in ordering their names erased
and suspending the two senators for
some definite time.
The order of Senator Frye for the,
restoration of the names to the rolls
was issued almost Immediately after
the senate convened today and was the
result of a general conference of the
Republican leaders of the senate. When
asked for an explanation of this order
Senator Frye said:
ION my rulings yesterday L believe
that was strictly within parliamentary
laws; that senators in contempt are not
entitled to recognition either to speak
or to vote and that logically their
names should not be called. L still ad-
here to that opinion. But, desirous of
shifting the responsibility from the
chair to the senate, have directed the
clerk to restore to the roll the names of
the two senators from South Carolina"
When asked if the result of this ac-
ton would be the recognition of either
of the senators to either vote or speak
Senator Frye replied that it would not
and that was a question which might
be decided by the senate. He declined,
however, to state how the question
would be brought to the attention of
the senate.

Elric Cole announces that part of
the Barton county delegation in the
state convention will be for Richter if
he has any chance to win. and if he
hasn't that the county will probably
go to Bailey.
1t is claimed that there is some doubt
about Reno county being solid for
Bailey. Although the delegates are all
Bailey men personally, and although
Mr.. Troutman lost in his fight for the
control of the delegation, there is
possibility that it may be divided
among the different gubernatorial can
didates in order to help the candidacy
of L. l.. Dayhoff for state superinten-
dent. The delegation is for Dayhoff
more than it is for Bailey, and it Will
work its best to land the nomination
for Dayhoff, and although the first pre-
ference of the delegation for governor
is Bailey, if Dayhoff wishes it some Of

Short Story
Of the Day
THE DEATH OF THE LION.
By Albert Kinross.

In the spring OF 1893 the plague
ragged in London, and all who had
means or credit sought refuge in the
country. The mobiles went afar to
their great casues in the provinces,
but the commoner sort, that had no
coaches, wandered out afoot Light
hearted they left their work and the
swift sickness and shouldered their
bundles down the open lanes. The
fear slipped from them at sight of the
blue sky and sleepy meadowland. The
outlying villages were soon filled with
a motley rabble of idle townsfolk; and
though London was given over to
playhouses stood open, May was a
merry month wherever the refugees
had settled themselves.
To the little village of Deptford
they came as well, marvellous I'M
clean pack by showing. Audrey Ford,
the tanners daughter, and Tom Cur
ney, son to Quincy, the fustian weaver
who had grown rich and gentle on a
homely trade, watched them troop in
and clamor for quarters. For the tan
ners house stood on the London road,
nea, brick house, with loaded win
dow panes and rose bushes against the
whitewashed front that climbed to the
first story, where lay sweet Audrey's
chamber, so that she could put her
face on the sill all summer and bury it
in rosebuds and rose blossoms. A
pump stood in the neatly tagged path
before the house, and between that
and the roadway small garden, and
beside the pump, under the loaded par
lor window, was quaint seat, made
from the oak that Tanner Ford had
cut down to make room for his house.
And here, one day in May, Audrey and
Tom Quincy sat watching the folk
that came from London to this quiet
spot.
1t was no choice company that
descended on the little village. Sol
diers, brawlers, and gamesters, and
wenches of no exalted lineage they
seemed, judging by those that were
loudest. At the Rose and Crown the
wine flowed all day long and far into
the night. And Audrey watched the
coming of these wild fowl with some
surprise and no little reddening of her
creamy cheeks.
Today as she sat with young Tom
Quincy there had been little traffic.
