Madison, May u.

MduISOu, May IL.
The railroads are making as great
and possibly a greater effort to defeat
the passage of the maximum bill
which comes up in the assembly to-
day. The railroad influence is at
work in all parts of the state. Tele-
grams came in b. hundreds yester-
day to members asking them not to
vote for the passage of the bill There
is similarity among all of these tele
grams. The railroads have gone to
Chicago to get protests against the
bill and some of the kilograms re-
ceived were from that place. Almost
every member received two or three
kilograms and some even as high as
%. E. L. Phillip, NJ. C. Ring, John
Harris, Burton Hanson and other
members of the lobby are on the
ground.
Two Vetoes Sent in.
Gov. La Toilette sent two veto mes
sages to the senate last night, one of
the bills amending the law in regard
to the district court of Milwaukee
county on the ground that it indirect
ly raises the salary of the court re-
porter. The other was a dam bill
in which there was no repeating
clause. The bill to raise the stand
ard of education in dental colleges
was recommended by the committee
on education for passage. DR.. Earles
and the faculty of the Milwaukee
Medical college are here opposing the
bin.

Madison, MAY Is.

BY vote of A to AZ, the assembly
last evening recOnsigned Mr.. David
Evans woman suffrage bill to the
graveyard.
Opening on the discussion of his
bill, which was on the calendar for in
definite ostonement, motion to re-
consider being made by Mr.. LIE Roy,
Mr. Evans said he did not want any
further delay. The women come to
assembly, he said, to ask for the
common right of the sex. Those who
appeared before the committee for the
bill showed themselves to be the
peers of man, except in gross strength.
He explained that the bill simply pro-
vided that the question. of woman suf-
frage should be submitted to the peo-
pie. He asked that the assembly not
take into consideration any prejudice
that body should have against him.
The vote was reconsidered, As to Al.

OPPOSE The TREATY
THREE ELEMENTS OF COLOMBIA
AGAINST 1t.
REVOLUT!ONISTS IN ONE
Fear That Enriching of Government
by Money From he United States
May Make it too Strong for Future
Revolutionary Uprisings-
Will Have Attention of Congress.

Washington, May 12.-Private ad-
vices from Colombia state that there
are three elements opposed to the
ratification of the canal treaty. One
antagonizes the United States per
petual control, another urges the in
demnity and annuity are not sufficient,
the third consists of revolutionists
who fear that the Colombian treasury
enriched by $1O,OOO00O government
strength will be increased so as to
destroy all hope of success of any
revolution. When the Colombian
be just one month for consideration
of the treaty and such other matters
as may be called before the president.
II the president sends the treaty TO
congress under Colombia's rules OF
procedure no other subject can be
considered until that is disposed of.
The reorganization of finances is the
next most important matter before the
Colombian government and as the de-
termination of the question of the
treaty has an important bearing on
finances, it is assumed here the treaty
will be sent to congress first in order
that it may be known whether the
governments finances are to be en-
riched by the addition of S10,O00,0OO
or whether congress must proceed on
the basis of the governments presen,
plan.
Fever RACES at Canal.
Washington, May y. - General
Haines, a member of the canal COM
mission, who has just returned from
the isthmus, says that fever is preva-
lent there, and that it is quite danger,
Gus to white men. He says it is either
yellow fever or such a malignant type
of malarial fever as to be as bad as
yellow fever. The condition can be
improved but it would require con-
troll by the government of sanitary
measures. He thinks it would take
about year to place the canal region
in proper sanitary condition.

Trouble in Arkansas.

From Washington D. c. Times.
Gov. JEFF Davis whose escapades
from time TO time have served TO remind
the remainder of the country that there
Is such state as Arkansas, and that
she has chief executive who does
things as he likes, regardless Of the
opinions Of other people has announced
that he will be a candidate for third
term, and that he may decide to enter
| the race for the senate
The governor Is fond Of sporting life
and because Of this the Baptist church
with which he was affiliated, saw fit TO
expel him, bat that apparently has not
| disturbed him, He became involved
with the state legislature In u contro-
versy over the erection Of new state.
house, aud the appointment Of commits
sioners to build it, but seemingly ia not
worried over the outcome.
Not content unless engaged In po-
itical fight, the governor entered into
the Jones Clark Senatorial contest and
helped TO defeat the chairman Of the
Democratic national convention Now
he is looking around for more trouble,
and believes that he can best find it by
becoming q candidate for denomination

Murdered by His Companion.

Uncle Nat Matlock last Saturday
brought in the first definite news re-
garding the mysterious find of the badly
decayed remains of II man early last
week near Cove City.
According to Mr.. MatlOck S state
ment the opinion prevails in the neigh
borhood where the body was found that
the remains were those Of man, who,
with companion, was seen some SIX
months since near there, and who slept
one night in Bob Ramey's barn. The
remains were in such a decayed cOndi
ton that the only means Of recognition
was tooth resembling tusk in tbs
man mouth. The suppOsition is that
he was killed by his companion over d
game of cards, and that they were the
men engaged in the various hold-up'
that occurred in the western part of tn,
county last winter.

Blanks for making application
for State Confederate Pensions
are now ready and can be had by

ty clerk.
In order to secure a State Con-
federate Pension the men appli.
cants must have resided in the

wife togetherJ or have an income
of over $50 per year and be phys

Amount of pension depends on
the extent Of disability, also wild
ows of old soldiers who are not
worth over 4i00 and do not have
an income Of over $3.50, are al
lowed penEiouS; if the husband
was killed or died during the war
they are allowed 800 per year; if
the husband has died since the
war she is allowed $50. However,
the I mill pension tax last year
