Sprixoriexp, Irx., Feb. 5.—When the repub- liean committee adjourned last night the chairman was directed to notify the F. M.

This will be Moore and he will be requested to stato definitely the full course of the propositions which the farmers will submit and what as- surgnces the republicans are to have that any man whom they assist the F.M.B.A. to elect will vote with the republican’ party upon cer- tain national issues in the United States Sen- ate.

Session adjourned. pratt omer A BREAK IN THE RANKS. Significance of Yesterday's Action in the Ne- braska House of Representatives. Lrcoux, Feb. 5.—Action was taken yester- day on the governship question that fore- shadows the failure of the contest against Gov. Boyd, and in the opinion of the best posted politicians means the dissolution of the inde- pendent or alliance forces. At the opening of the session it was voted that the legislature would in nowise recognize the right of Mr. Boyd to hold the governor's chair, although the constitution made it necessary for the speaker of the house to open the retarns and declare the man having the highest number of votes duly elected. Yesterday it was voted that the menmes of retiring Gov. Thayer should be received this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Nearly the whole after- noon was spent in the discussion of a motion to invite Gov. Boyd to deiiver his message on Friday. The scene in the house during the de- bate “was extromely striking. The alliance members hinted that there’ was treachery in the air and when the motion was finally declared carried by a majority of nine there was much confusion ard intense feeling. It is said that three or four of the senators have already broken away from the alliance party and the vote taken yesterday in- dicates the number of seceders in the house will reach eight. It is possible that these men will go back into the alliance caucus and be re- stored to full membership again, but it is con- sidered doubtful. ———— An American Company Enjoined.

A FALAE ISSUE PRESENTED. In this manner they expect to elect @ parlia- ment for the next five yeare, having a false issue. An advantage the government (the tories) will have in the election, beside that growing out of their present holding of — power, is that the clection will be taken before the new census, which ix just now at hand, and will exclude from the franchise the new element of we ranean r. Blainc’s letter denying that any negotia- tions for reciprocity with Canada were pending and declaring that none wonld be entered into looking to reciprocity in natural products only docs not imply that a proposition for complete reciprocity, unlimited, would not meet with favor with this administration. One of the most prominent republicans in the House, an expericneed diplomat, said to a Sran reporter today that a proposition for unrestricted reciprocity, including all things, between the United's and Canada would be accepted by the United States. The sentiment in tavor of such a treaty is rapidly growing in Canada and the movement by the tories is a trick to avoid its consequences. RAPID PROGRESS OF RECIPROCITY TREATIES. The progress of the treaties with the nations to the south of us has become rapid and it is said that a treaty with Spain for re- ciprocity with Cuba, a treaty with Mexico and one with Venezuela will follow quickly in the tracks of the one Brazil, which has been signed. It is declared further that treaties with all the southern re- publics except Chili and Peru will be pre- sented to the Senate before the 4th of March. ‘The treaty with Brazil, which gives her a market for her sugar and gives usa place from which to buy our sugar, makes it necessary for Cuba to secure such ‘a treaty to put her sugar onan equal footing in our markets. So the negotiation of the first treaty helped long the others, and it is said that they now come tumbling in over each er. ——————— THE SILVER POOL INVESTIGATION. Representative Perkins Again Appears Be- fore the Committee. Representative Philip W. Perkins of Kansas, who was on the stand some days ago, was re- called today by the silver pool investigating committee and testified that he had never endeavored to have the present investi- ation suppressed.

Payne called attention to the fact that Perkins had previously answered. questions, and = Mr. Perkins siggested that the committee should make its inquiries no thorough as not to make it nec- essary to recall witnesses, because every time a member's name was mentioned before the committee it hurt his reputation. ‘MR.
