Hav- ing got this start the populists pro- ceeded to pour in bills and resolutions by the bushel, which the chief clerk read by title in all seriousness. The senate elections committee will decide the contests in favor of the con- testants and the opposition, led by Ba- ker and O'Bryan, have decided to adopt filibustering tactics in order to prevent them being unseated until after the United States senator is elected. The populists, however, propose to adopt extreme measures if necessary. The senate committee on elections met this morning and held a short ses- sion over the case of D. O. Markley against Senator Metcalf, but Senator Leedy said that the committee did Aot investigate far enough to decide that there were even grounds for a contest. Markley alleges that fraudulent votes were thrown out. The republicans held another fruit- jess caucus on senator last night ané adjourned to-day without taking a bal- fot. It is said that J. W. Ady had a sure thing of the nomination, but so many others publicly or privately an- nounced their determination not to sup- port the caucus nominee that it seemed advisable not to make a stand for any: one candidate. Among those who declared that he would not support the nominee was McCown Hunt, of Leavenworth. H. C. t. Hackbush, also of Leavenworth, did not make a public expression, but when he saw the drift was so strongly to- ward Ady he left the caucus room. It is understood that these two are un- compromisingly for Lucien Baker. A. © Sherman, the postmaster member of Shawnee county, was also opposed to the nomination when he learned that Ady had everything his own way. Friends of Senator Perkins were an- other influence that prevented a nomi- nation. It has begun to dawn on Per- kins that there is no chance for a re- publican in this legislature, but he recognizes the value of a nomination as bearing on the fight two years hence and, unable to secure it for himself, his HUGU were needed for the French people.

Discussing Methods of Pulling Missouri Out of the Mire. Separi4, Mo., Jan. 20.—There was a large attendance at the state improve- ment convention to-day, including a committee from the state senate, com- posed of Messrs. Yeater, Tunnel and Gash, and a committee from the house of representatives, composed of Messrs. | Davis, Banks and Marsh. The topics, “Shall Roads be Built by Counties or by Private Companies” and “Needed Legislation for Building Rock Roads” were thoroughly dis- cussed, two-thirds of the delegates tak- ing part. Many of the delegates favor working the penitentiary convicts and prisoners serving a jail sentence on the public roads. Others favor building roads by taxing property holders to pay twenty-year bonds. The committee on resolutions ap- pointed last evening will not make their report until this afternoon. It is expected that resolutions will be adopt- ed by the convention, asking the pres- ent legislature to enact a law allowing counties to issue bonds for the con- struction of roc vGE. After the Wreck the frain Catches Fire— Several Persons Fatally Hurt. Peru, Ind., Jan. 20.—The Lake Eric & Western express when within four rail lengths of the bridge over the Wa- bash river one mile south of this city last night struck a broken rail, throw- ing the cars off the track. The engine reached the abutment of the second span when the whole thing collapsed, letting the entire train down to the bed of the frozen river, thirty feet below. The bridge span of over 100 feet also fell with a crash. The train immediately caught fire and was consumed. Only one person was killed, George C. Dorland, of Laporte, whose back was broken, but Mrs. Rilla Raber, of Deaver, Ind., was fatally hurt and Henry Griffin, engineer, scalded, probably fatally, while Fred Forbes, conductor, and Richard Neff, baggage- man, were injuredalangerously on back and head. Of the fourteen pa gers, not one escaped an injury. That the loss of life was not greater is miracu- lous. ¥ CONVICTED. shortly before noon. At 12 they re- turned with a verdict of guilty.

Yesterday the defense opened and the court troom was packed with people anxious to hear Maitre nand de Lesseps as a man of the high- est character. So keen was his sense of honor that for two months now he had not left his bed, and during that time he had not uttered a word. Had the great Frenchman been able to ap- pear in conrt the whole audience would have risen to salute the glory of his fame. Maitre Barboux gave full vent to his oratory in recounting the many strug- gles of M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, and laid particular stress upon his state- ment regarding M. de Lesseps’ contest with Great Britain over the Suez canal, Ife then examined into the duties and responsibilities of the directors of the company, which, he declared, had been faithfully and correctly carried out. He dealt with the charges against M. de Lesseps and endeavored to show that e unfounded. In concluding speech Maitre Barboux declaged that the heavy outiays made on behalf of the company were fully justified and he propos«l to prove that public opinioa on this matter had been misled. titre Barboux had finished the court adjourned until Tuesday. The address made quite an impression. It listened to by many lawyers prominent at the French bar, and at its conclusion M. Barboux was compli- mented by his legal colleagues. A letter from Cornelius Herz was published, in which Herz acknowledged that he received 2,000,000 frances from Baron de Reinach. The letter requests three weeks’ grace, in which Herz will documents which will vindicate him. Herz said that, if necessary, he would return to France without being extradited. He had always acted honestly and had not been a foreign spy. ‘The count de Hussonvilie, leader of the monarchist party and general rep- resentative of the comte de Paris, has formulated the Orle: along letter. picture of the e th se anist programme in After drawing a dark uption revealed by gation and the con- on among the true ance, he denies the charge sts have tried to ag- The role of con- al neither to him- friends.

The populists held their usual caucus last night, but the quéstion of senator was not discussed. It is reported that they have about abandoned hope of electing a populist and are getting ready to go over in a body to Judge Martin. It is understood that the populists want to resume friendly relations with the democrats, which last week were formally declared off by Jerry Simpson. Yesterday Gov. Lewelling sent for Chairman Jones. The latter obeyed the summons, but the interview was short. It is said that the senatorship was the subject discussed.
