| ~6UESSING OV THE RESULT. | Ohio's Benatorial Contest Still in Doubt Olaims of the Leading Candidates, PROMISES THAT ARE CAUSING - TROUBLE. Blembers of the Legislature who Talk too Much—Some Fignres that will Pro ably Show & Different Footing | A Short Time—The Situation, Corvmpus, O,, Jan. 3. —-Tho Sabbath day has been reverently respected by tho send torial candidates, and a temporary armis has been declared in the gr politieal battle which has waged so bitterly. Both Senator Sherman and ex(overnor Foraker have remained on tho ground, but the day has been one of inactivity so far as their lieuten- ants are concerned. This sudden inacion the Foraker men say. is but the calm which procedes the storm, the lull which precedes the battie, The Sherman wmen say it is tho xigor mortus of #n inspiring cause, the dead silence which precedes the last convul- pive gasp of m dying ambition. To the ¥riends of the distinguished nator, the battle is fought and wonj to the wdberents of the eloxuent Koraker, the poli- tician atmosphere is laden with hopeful ngony, and the woof of the future is still to Pe woven into strange results. Thus, the situation tonight is ono of complacent ex- poctancy on the one haud; of eternal hope on tho other. Interest in the Contest, The American publ whose interest in this contest is probably without parailel in the great senatorial battles of years gone by, quite naturally asks: “Why is tho result longer in doubt? Why, with every member of the general assemoly on the field, or avaitable, cannot the positive declarations of the men who are to decide the question tall he place of the blatant prophecy of political managers, and tell how this batts is going !’ ‘T'he answor to this quostion is, that of the republican assemblymen 1o less than eizht have refrained from a public declaration of proference, and of these, three-quarters have unquestionably given pleages to both sides nn3 are now at home seeking petitions or “‘public_sentiment”” to break tho pledges avhich they find most irksome, and respect the one which meets their porsonal desives, "The diplomatic battle which has been wazed #0 unremittingly for months past has resulted in many entangling alliances. Men, in order 1o win the favor of the factions into which the party divided before the elections, found At expedient to provounce pledges of fealty to the partisans of both candidates, and these gmmllel are now most, embarrassing. They ave postponed the evil day to the utmost limit, but the hour of delivery is at hand., In the vain attempts still 10 wear the shifting masks of Dr. Jeykle and Mr. Hyde, they are now suggesting that the senatorial question should by decided by n secrot ballot in the coming caucus. Shoula this plan be carried out, they hope to eseapo 1he volumes of opprobrium which otherwise will certainly be heapad upon them from the faction they disappoint. Assertlons of Foraker's Friends, While the impression is certainly general among impartial lookers-on at Columbus tnat the spoakership coutest was fought upon senatorial lines, and that its result must be nccepted as indicating Senator Sherman’s yonomination, the friends of exGovernor Foraker still maintain that soveral Ior- aker men voted for Laylin and that theso, togother with the votes which Foraker will £ot in the senate, will be sufiicient to give him the nominntion. When asked for mames and figures. hewever, the auswors are by no means satisfactory. In substantintion of their claims they say that two meu, Rep- esentatives Dick and Welsh, voted for Lay- in who are absolutely and irrevocably op- iposed to Sherman. - Dicks they do not ex- ect to gelL in any event, but say he will tick to Foster to thelast. Welsh they regard s a bare possibility. Thev also say that four of Foraker’s wurmest supporters, whoso mamos they fail to give, voted for Laylin aunder pledges made to him long befors the senatorial and speakership fight fell into the same groove. Kurther, they claim that not a single Sherman man voted for MeGrew: that gl of them who have made pledges to Me- Grew asked to be reficved, aud were relieved from them in advauce of the caucus. Ante-Election Figures, Assuming these allozations to be facts, fSherman’s strength in tho house is but six votes less than tho vote for Laylin, or thirty-two. Sherman’s strength in the senaty may be sot down as thirteen, if Iien, a con- tostant, is uot admitted and fourteen if ho is. TForaker's managers, however, claim that the ex-governor will have not less than eight wotes in the senate. Conceding Sherman ourteen, however, in the senate, and admit- ting the Foraker eclaims 1n tho houss, Sherman’s vote would stand in tho house, thirty-two; in the senate, fourteen; total, Sorty-six. This would leave Senator Sherman one short of a nomination, Foraker throo short and Diclks_and Welsh holding the Balance of power, but unable to do more than wreate a tie botween Sherman and Foraker ®hould thoy voto for the latier. According to | Big Six Day Bileycle ho roady or foreed to declare themsalves by that time, and there will be no advauntage to cithor sido to prolong the contest. b ot Bl STARTS TONIGHT. Race All Ready to Commence, The six-night international bicycle race commences at the Coliseum at 8:15 tonight, and tho indications atl point to a big opening night crowd. Thore has been much speculation on tho probable outcome, and there is a noticeable lack of agreement among those who have been bold enough to name the winner. This is nccounted for by the fact that the best riders of this country and Kurope are to compete, and as thore is a string of eight of them, all evidently pretty evenly matohed, it would require the gift of prescience, indeed, to placo the men at the windup. The Know- ing ones hove a tendency toward Woods, the fnglishman, for first place, although there are hundreds of enthusiasts who irmly believe that the man who can beat Jack Prince in a long distance race never straddled a wheel, Princ for some time, and s it only requires u year or two to throw an athlete in any line be- hind, ke may not be tho man he was for morily. “He has trainod idustriously for the past ten days and says he is in moro than | fair conaition, and that be intends to make a | tremendous effort to win, R v, owing toan injury received while hunting n few since, is not in the best condition, still is a man of wonderful powers may astonish somo one belore next Saturday night.

Powd'l of St P 2 Indian Tried to Assnssinate Hin St. PAuL, Mion,, Jan, 2—Barly yesterday morning residents on West Seventh streot heard a revolver shot and an outery. A moment later Dr. Frank Powell, until a year ago mayor of La Crasse, Wis., ran out of his house at the corner of Chestnut and Seventh street, and tried to overtake a man who was runoingsoutbward toward the Smith Avenue bridgo across the Mississippi. Ho was soon out of sight, however, and Dr. Powell roturned and said that an attemnt had, been mado to assassinate him. e and Mrs, Powell had just gone up stairs with the inten- tion of retiring for the nignt. As he lightod a gas fot hesaw a flash and heard a crash, the builet bresking tho giass six or eighi inches from his breast and passing within an inch of his rignt ear, embedding iisell near a looking glass. Dr. Powell and Buffalo Bill were comumis- sioned by the government in Novemoer, 1890, to take Sittine Bull dead or al the otder oveing canceled after their arrival at Standing Rock, and the matter placed in the bands of the lIndian polico and troops at Fort Yates, It 15 possiblo some Indian has como down from Grand river rocently, and, imaginging that Dr. Powell hat something to do witn the violent taking off of the old chief, tried to murder him.

Stein followed him and returned on the same train Stein alighted at Randville, sev miies ow Sagola. Curry got off tho train at Sazola and started down the track on foot to his_camp, & distance of four miles, while Stein started up tho track and met Curry within about a mile of his camp and there kitled him with a blunt weapon by crushbing his head.

Bui 4he Foraker peopie’s claim of at least eizht @n the senate, if veritied, along with their claim of thirty-eignt in the house, would re- wverso things and give Foraker forty-six and Sherman forty-five. Theo if Iden be admit- Red Shorman’s vote would fall to forty-four. 'Welsh voting for Koraker, or ono of Sher- auan’s men going te hiw, would give him the wequired forty-seven. Laughed at by the Sherman Men, The above are the views at the Foraker ‘headquarters, but their claims are derided by tnhe Sherman people aud treated as mirth mprovoking pretensions. Thoe senator’s frionds are loudly claimine tonignt that he will have { majority of not les« than fourteen votes in he caucus, and profess a willingness to havo ‘either an open or secret. ballot, as Foraker may desite. They say that the loud claims of the KForaker managers are wmads with the hope of keeping his fol- Jowers loyal te him, in order that he may go down in the caucus with at loast @ respectable following. They stato that a plodgo hus been drawn that is ivouclad in its mature and that those devoted to the cause of the ex-governor are beine asked to sign it By its terms the supporters of the ex-govorn- or agree to remain trae 1o his candidacy until e wins or loses, and that none of them will . weaken or wuaver in tho slizhtest degroe, The Foraker mur rs deny thalsuch a ,document is in existence, or that it is de- manded to insure the continued loyalty of ‘the governor's suporters. . The Sherman men n-sert that Representa- Alye Kissinger, of Athens, is with them, avhile Representutive Byron Lutz, of Ros, has been put down in the Foraker column. But no one has yet heard him say that he had antered it. - His constituency is said to be for &herman and he is beiug subjocted to powei- ful pressure. Both Sides Claim Them, It is tooight said of Senator Douglass Rawlins of Clark county that he will come Dback to Sherman. He has never really de olared publicly that he is for Foraker, but it hias been Tmoruly belioved that he would wote for him.. Since the snnouncement of 1his state of affairs his people bave beon ‘working on him for Sherman, Senator Lampson is cluimed by both sides. His election yesteraay as president pro tem, |at was thought, would have the effect of un: soaling his lips, but he is still silent. Thero ids no indication as yet as to how he will vote. The effect of Seaator Spencer's declaration for Sherman upon the Cuyahoga delegatio, atis believed, will huvo a salutary effect for the Sherman cause. Senator Parker hes not declared how he avil! vote, but his mctions are not favorably wecuived by tho Sherman folks. Representatives Porter and Pudney are atill woncommunieative and are claimed by the Foraker mi Representative Dunn of Morgan is st noncommital, and etatwod by both parties. . 1t has been practicaliv detsrmined to hold | the senatorial caucus Tuesday night Instead of Thursday night. 1t is eenerally agreed botween the Shermaun and Foraker mon thut the few members remalning doubiful will Autonio Gomex, the son of tho proprictor of the plaza where the bull lghts are held, and another young man.

The elsgant club house was brilliantly lighted from celler to garret and the parlors were filled with a gathering of Omaba's best young men, who whiled away the hours In _friendly greetings and listened to the melodious music, both instru- mental and vocal, rendered by the Mandolin club and others of the cily's best talent. About 100 guests of the wheel boys partook of the musical feast. Lignt refreshments were served and olgars were frooly passed. The members of the Cleveland minstrel com- pany sent a note of regrets that the fatiguos of u long engagement compelled them to de- cline the wheelmen’s invitation to ve prosent. John 5.

[Copyrighted 1892 by the New Year's Day at Court, The court functions on New Year's day wore the samo as usual, The emperor and bis family moved into the royal castle at Borlin from Potsdam early in the week. Tho band of tho Second Uhlans played in the yoar by several choral selections from the summit of the cupola on the castle chapel. The imperial family attended morning ser- vice 1n the chapel. At the leves held subse- quently to this service, whors all the com- munding generals, government officials and court attaches flied past the throne the emperor wore the uniform of a Prussinn general, with the ribbons of the order of the Black Eagle. The empress was attirad in a magnificent court robe. She were the ribbou of the Black Eagle aud the decora- tions of many other orders. The crowd at- tending tho levee was so numerous that the halls set apart for their reception were filled to overflowing. At noon the emperor rode to the arsenal to perform the usual New Year's ceremony of giving parole to the troops. Everybody here expected him to make im- portant utterances on this occasion, but he suid nothing boyond a few words in ad- dressing a group of officers. He advised them to speedily acquire a knowledge of the power and use of the latest military improve- ments. ‘The Fronch government is too late in try- e to meet the dreibund zollverein by com- mercial alliances with various Duropean states. The overtures made from Paris to Sweden, Denmark, Greoce and Italy are perfectly known in Berlin, These overiures until now have vesulted in nothing further thun an agreement with Groece aud Den- mark, both those allies of Russia getting the minimum French tariff in exchauge for “favored nation” treatmont to France, the negotiations for a treaty with Italy having in the meantime ceased, and it 1s r.ot ligely that they will be renewed. With Sweden Frauce stauds a better chance, but nothing that Paris can now do can weaken the driebund zollyerein, which, before long, will include Belgium, Holland, Roumania and Servia and probably Spain. Making Concessions to the Clergy. For the solid vote of the centrists in tha Reichstag, which enabled the government o pass tlie commercial treaties, that party is avout to obtain the long desired concossion sran‘ing the clergy greater coutrol of the tnstruction in primary schools. Count von Zedlitz, ministor of public worship, will submit to the Landtag a project conferring power on thoe clergy to examiud cand'dates for teachership on religious questions. The Catholics regara the concession as one that will enable the clergy to control the schools through the toachers. Tho project will cause a bitter fight in the Laudtag, as the conservatives hold that it will pervert the character of the volkschule. Influ nza's Vietims, Influenza has claimed another victim among the diplomats in this city. The Mar- quis de Penafel, tho ambassador of Portugal to Germany, died here today from that dis- enso. Advices from St. Petersburg are that the illness of the czarina 1sa low fever, and partly due to worrying over the plot against the czar, in which highest court and imperial personages ara suspected of being involved. Private lotters state that some of these plots aro aimed at obtaining a constitution, oy which the nobles and landholders will ap- point tho members of an assembly. Rumors are current that negotiations are procecding to obtain the adhesion of Russia to the commercial convention, but there is no foundation for them. “here has been no meeting of German and Russian diplomats, as bas beeh reported in the foreign press, and no such meeung is contemplated. The forcign oftice authorizes a denial of the state- meat, and savs that the question of a roduc- tion of the Russian tariff bas never been mooted. Among the New ¢ articles appearing in the German press is oue in the National situng, which specially comments upon the growthof the American union as the decisive factor of the century. Tho Frankfort Gazette announces that im- wense guantities of wheat and rye hava boen stored in the Rhino fortresses. The wheat, it suys, was chiofiy imported.” Awmericans in Berlin, The American logation here is busy with tho casos of Awmerican citizons of German birth who have beon arvested in this country for desertion from the army. Hon. William Walter Pnelps, tho American wiister, and Mr. Coloman, secretary of the American lega- tion, find the government ready to accede to any reasonable demand for the release of the returned deserters even when the laws woula permit of their detention, but it would be votter if mon liable to prosecution on this charge should reman in thelr adopted coun- wy. Mark Twain will deliver a lecture in this city on Jauuary 13 for the benefit of tho Ber- lin American church.

TROUBLE WITH HER BISHOPS. other Blshop of Alx Case Likely to Dis- turb the Peace of France, Paris, Jan, 2.—A case somewhat similar in its aspects Lo the ¢ase of the archbishop of Aix bas arison botweon the government and the bisnop of Carcassonne.

It wras for a violation of this rulo and for writing what was termed an “insulting lotter’) to M. Fallioires, tho min- istor of Justice and public worship, in con nection witn the matter that led to the ex- pulsion and condgmuation of the archbishop of Alx. This casg reopened the question for the separation of phe, church and state aud rasulted in a very acrimonious debate in the Chamber of Deputies, The bishop of Chrodssonno also refused to obey the governmental order, and he recently went to Rome wiltiout having first secured the sanction of the government to his visit. In consequence of this nction the minister of Justice and public worship bas suppressed the bishop's stipend for the period of his ab- sence from the see. The Kigaro today publishes a letter from the bishop of Carcassonne, in which he states that he went to Rome merely in the fulfilmeat of his spiritual duty, as be bad done n previous years, when he had not sought the permission of the governmnent or incurred the slightest shame. It is not known what astion the govern- mont will take in tho ‘matter, but to be con- sistent the authoritins will have to prosecute him as they did the archvishop of Aix. In view of the present state of affairs existing botweon the clericals and the governmenr, the latter may decide that it would not be oxpedient to further antagonize the church party. Carcassonne, the see of the bishop above mentioned, is the capital of the depart- ment of Aude, situated on the river Audo and canal du Midi, 150 miles southeast of Toulouse, MORE RECIPROCITY, France and the United a Treaty o [Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennett.] Pawts, Jan. 2. —[New York Horald (‘able— Special 10 Tite Bee.]—France is on the point of concluding a commercial treaty with the United States, Tho United States will exemptskins, sugar and molasses to tha value of 000,000 francs, KFrance will American merchandiso imported into France to the same amount.

FFor the first time in their lives they wereto mako their firstappoarance in soctoty. They were buds and were just blooming into noble womanhood. Ior this season Mr, and Mr: Tim Muicahey bad looked forward to the great social event when their charming voung daughters would be able to recoive Now Year's callers and havo a fashionavle reception at their own house. ‘The Mulcaliey's shanty is the mansion of Shantytown, and the family is looked upoa by some of the populace as being a iittle aristocratic. But let this be as it may, Kditha and Gertrudedetermined not to slight any of their inferiors as they had heretofore alluded to them by caliing them low-down, railroad Irish, It had been whispered around among the neighbors a fow days provious that Mrs. Mulcaney was to give her daughtors a recep- tion and have New Year callors in the after- noon. “Now, papa,” said [ditha, approvingly hut good-naturedly, as she toyed with tho lappel of his clawhammer coat in placing a little bouquet in the buttonhole, “Gartr ude and I do not want you to get druak and create a disturbance when our callers ar- rive.’ “No, papah,” interposed Gertrudo, ‘*‘we don’t want yov to have old man McGinty aver hero and get into a fight.

'he arrival this ovening of two additional cavalry companios over the International railroad to taie the field against Garza aroused new interest in the revolutionary incident. The same special train which brought these troops had several car loads of pacic mules, said to have been sent by tho government from a military post in Wyoming. Inquiry today at Moxican military head- quarters failed to eliciy anything in the way of more news. The Mexican authorities de. clured that everything is quict on that side of the river, New Laredo has a telezraph line down the river to Matamoras, There was nothing new, but the report that General Garcia, commanding. the Mexican troops at Mier, had been killed, nor was there any truth in tho dispatches 'from hare stating that three [}I‘!S?(flel's had been shot in New Laredo this week, The report that Garza had not been able to direct bis latest revolutionary Mexicans on accourt of his suffering from an old wound in the bowels, made by a gunshot a year ago in a dificulty, and is confined.

Mexican Cable to the York Heraid—Special to Tne Ber procurator fiscal has concluded his re the Baltimore ease. Ho finds that Rodriguez, Gomex and Azumada, tho three riotors who are held by Judge of Crimes Foster, aro guilty of stabbing aud otherwise wound- ing the American sailors, but ho says that tho ovidencois not strong cnough to show that the wounds inflicted by the four prisoners caused the death of Boatswain's Mate Charles Riggin and Coal Heaver Turn- buil. He finds the Baltimore sailor, David- 8son, guilty of assault upon a Chitian sailor, Why They Aro Held, Rodriguez acknowledged stabbing Ripgin becauso the latter assaultod one of the suil- ors of the Chilian torpedo boat Almirants Cochrane. Seeing the Chilian seaman ill- treated, Rodriguez stuck his koifo iuto Rig- ®in's back. iomez admitted stabbing Turnbull in the back three times, and said he did so in de- feoding some frieuds of his whom ‘Lurnbull had kunocked down. Azumada denied having anything to do with the assault, but was shown by other witnesses to have participated in it. Cortez, aunother of tho prisoners, ulso alleged that ho took no part in the affair. A rovolver was found on him, but he said that hio cangied 1t to defend himself. It now only remains for Judge of Crimes Foster to pass sentence ou the threa con- victed prisoners, Who Killed Riggl Rélative to Cortea’ implication the procura- tor fiscal says that more data are requirved. The procurator comes to the conclusion that itis impossible to determine who fired the shot which killed Riggin, It will be remombered that ono of the wit- nesses, according to Judgo Fostor's roport, testitied he saw three policemen holding Iiggin at tho time the fatal shov was fired. The Chilian consul at Mendoza, Argentine Republie, Senor Torres, who had a quarrel there recently with Salvador Sanfuentes, Balmaceda's govornor of Conception, vesult- ing in the death of Sanfuentes and the wounding of Colonel Urrales, his friend, fled toward Caili after the affair to escape arrest by the Argentine police. He is accu: of being the instigator of Sanfuentes’ killing. Anxious to Arbitrate. At the Moneda today prominent ofticials informed me that Minister Pedro Montt has been notitied that the Chilian government was willing and anxious to accept arbi- trators mutually agreeable to both countrios in the Baltimoro affair, if that course should be proposed by tho United States. The ea- tire report of the procurator fiscal will be cabled on Monday for the information of the United States goverament, It is probablo that an cxtended amnoesty will be proclaimed shortly. The red budge which hitherto has been worn on the arms of the congressionalist soldiors, to distinguish them trom the Balmacedists, is to be re- moved by order of the new minister of war. ‘This is done so as to remove all distinction and is a step toward all obliteration of the no rain has fallen of consequence for the last eighteen months, and all the ra- tions used by che horses have to be carried | in carts, and then carried on pacic mules along tho trails.

MeNeil of the rangers, an- vouncing the arrival at Rio Granpe Ciiy of himself and his any. consisting of soma twenty men. Captain MoNeil reports a skirmish with Garza’s men on the 20th, and states that the latter ran. Goneral Mabroy today sent dispatches to Captain McNeil and Captain Brooks at Rio Grande City, instructing them to icok out for and protect the interersts of Texas, but not to mix themselves up in any international matters and especiaily to learn the countr, and the roads and discover Garza's strong- holds. It was stated at the adjutant genecal's office that tho state has a force on the lower Rio Grande sufticient to protect its interests out if the revolutionists should begin to com- mit outrages on Texas people more men would be sent. In the latter event it is likely that General Mabrey would take the field in person. 4 il NEW OMAHA LINE.
