C. Dec. 10, Information received here today from Montuna indicates that Chairman Thomas H. Carter of the republican national com- mittee will be clected to the United States senato to succeed Senator Sanders. The Jatter is quoted as having said this week in A private conversation that he himself would assist Mr. Carter in the latter’s election if it appeared that the full strength of the repub- Jican membership of the legislature could be thrown to the chairman. Senator Sander finds opposition to his own re-clection within Q'\(‘llmw of his party and is not a candidate. r. Carteris not only popular in his own party, but has friends among the independ- onts and democrats, who, it is said, might help in certain contingen The repub- Yicans ure confident that Montana will elect & republican to the senate. ‘The indications are now that the demo- crats will not be able to reorganize the United States senate atter the 4th of March, Much depends, however, upon the outcome f the struggle going on among the partics Kansas. sHINGTON BUREAU OF Tnr Brg, } Christmas at the White House, There will be no Christmas trees, no usio nor romping at the white house two ocks from tonight. The three little tots who inhabit the exceutive mansion will not find Christmas us enjoyable this year as they did last year. Then there were electri lights throughout the great house and every member of the family blithely romped around and in the distribution of gifts mad as much pleasure for every one as was po ble. Mps. Harrison was very fond of chil dren and she took the greatest delight in arvanging the gifts for her little grandel dren and waking as much as possible for them of the festive day of the year The great griefs which have come to the fawily will not admit of the customary fe tivities this year, for the heavy hearts At the white house yet. Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Russell Harrison, however, have been quietly making preparations during the pas weelk for the little ones. They have made fumerous purchases of gifts and secreted them away from the tiny eyes, which always show so mucn curiosity aud anxiety about Christmys time, Two weeks from tomorrow morning the childven will be g the presents, but the absence of all gayetics avill remind them of the sadness which pos- pesses the older members of the family. ‘There will be s Christmas dinner which vill be attended by all members of the presi- dent's immodiate family, The recognition of the day will end there, 1t has been gen- erally expected by those most intimate with ghe family that all social occasions would be itted and no public reception will take ce at the white house on New Year's day the day before or day after. All other re- tions have by ofticial uotice been set o and there will be no state dinners. So xyunm ety is concerned the white house awill be closed till the 4th of March. It is expected that Vice President and rs, Morton and Secretary and Mrs. John V. Foster will hold a uuwmber of public re- ptions and give some state dinners durin he season. At none of theso will the presi- entinl family appear. Mrs, McKee and rs. Russell Harrison receiving privately heir friends now almost any hour of the day llos call, Mrs, Russell Harrison hdd in- led, a8 usual, to go west and spend the olidays with her parents, but at the prosi- lent's solicitation she has decided to remain iustead, that the three children of the household might have a Chr and make each other happy. Sunday Opening of the World's Fair. The special committee of the house on the World's Columbian exposition will probably be called togeth ome time next week to take up in carnest the question of the ope: ing of the World™ fair on Sunday. There no doubt whatevor that a strong fight will be made to permit the gates of the expo tion to open on Sunday, and that the pros- pects of success are at least fairly good. n Durburrow of the committee is at ing to learn the wishes of the fair directory before moving in the matter, and it is probable that word will be re od as to exactly what they wish by the first of next week. 'Mr. Durburrow has introduced a resolu- n on the subject in the house.

STATES THAT WILL RECEIVE ATTENTION Gathering of Distingnished Republicans at Washington to Consider T © to the Party—Plan- ning to Meet the Opposition, Questions of ortar WasHiNGTON, D. C., Dec. 10.—While the democratic advisory committee is conferr in New York and devising plans for secus ing the election of democr: senators i the doubtful legislatures in Wyoming, Cal fornia, Montana, North Dakota, Nebras and K . there isa conference of repub- licans being held in Washington having just the opposite purpose. Some of the leading spirits of the repub- lican party are assembled at the Arlington. General Clark Warner Miller, ( . Bliss, General George Pullman, G » Bslee of Californi oe Mauley and Represeutative Johnson of North Dakota were assembled in the lobby of the hotel this morning. It was said that their meeting was *by accident, that there was no politi init. Both Mr. Manley and General Clarl son told 4 reporter that the meeting was aceidental. It was quite a coincidence that they should all have happened here on the me di and have stopped at the same hotel. It was explained that Mr, Manley was here on private business; that General Clarkson was on his way to Mexico; that Muv, Bliss was going to lorida; that Miller was here to look after the gua canal business, and that General Eslee had business before the supreme court. At 1l o'clock this morning they all retived toa private room to discuss the co- incidence of their meeting, General Eslee and Mr. Johnson, who are not so particularly close in their association with the older gen- tlemen as to render their presence a thing 1o be exy «d us a matter of course, are quite familinr with the senatorial situution in California and North Dakota. It is understood that the other subject dis- cussed, after the coincidence of their meet- ing was disposed of, was the senatorial situ ation in the doubtful states, and that plans were made to meet the move of the demo- atic senatorial adyisor mmittee, which i ying Lo secure the ele ou of democrats to complete the democratic coutrol of con gress. The whol it is said, was thoroughly caunva and some of the esent were satis| that the democrats could be kept aving a majority in the senate if the proper sort of work wis done. Nenator Voorhees on the Situation. Senator Voorhees of Indiana laughs at the stutement of Mr. Hale and other republicans the effect that they hoped the democrats would control the senate and that the repub- licaus will put nothing in their way. *“The idea that the republicans will stand back and give in an inch,” said the senator, *is as ridiculous as the story that the demo- crats arve afraid to meet the issue and organ- ize the senate. Both of them are too absurd to receive 4 moment's thought.” The statement that the democratic party is afraid to undertake the revision of the tariff Mr. Voorhees pronounces as an insult to the intelligence of the men who compose that party, here uever were truer words spoken thau those used in the democratic platform to characterize the republican party’s policy. We have denounced it in our platform as a robbery and & fraud, and preached it from every stump iu the country. The senate is just s euthusiastic in the matter of the coming revision of the tariff as the house can possibly be and is perhaps more set in its purpose. We will assume all responsibility and are ready to begin to- worrow if ueed be. “The democratic party can be depended upon to do two things—remove the unjust burdens of taxution from the unecessaries of ¢ revenues for s are prone life and provide the necessa the government, The republic to tulk of our mistakes. We may have made mistales, but theirs have been crimes. If wo were tyros in the science of government we could not do worse than they ; but we will give the people relief from the burdens with Which they have been oppressed since the republicans came to power. The vote of the people at the recont clection shows wherein they put their_confidence, and that confi- ence will not be misplaced.” e THE BOARD OF TRADE. Discussion Looking to n Complete Reor- ganization of That Body. The remark ‘“we ought to havea live Board of Trade” is frequently heard. As the date of the annual election of directors is near at hand the subject of the future of Omaha’s Board of Trade is naturally being discussed toa considerable extent among the more active busin men. The opinion has been quite frecly given that business men ought to attend the election of directors ard sce to it that the vacancies are filled by men who will give the time and at- tention required to make the board what it should be. Divectors areto be elected to succeed Jumes Stephenson, Buclid Martin, C. F. Goodman and the late Hu G. Clark, Here i some of the prominent mem- bers yin regard to what might and should be done by the Board of Trade: W. A. L. Gibbon—There are memb of the Board of Trade and we have never been able to get out over sixty at an election, The merchants have tried several times to get ion of the board but the ave nt has no time to that the same old gang holds posse: and it is needle > chan’ are ver The me nts generally let the election go by default. As to what the Board of T ought to do I have very fixed ideas and they are not in accord with popularnotions on the subject. The object of such organization is to build up the city, but 1differ from man as to how this should be done. A great deal of time and talk is spent in an effort to in- duce manufacturers to locate in the city. I think th; to the wiping out of freight r tions, to the securing of better railroad facil- ities and to the making of a better distribu- ting point and you will have a city. There are no factories in New York but their y at market buyers will come from 00 mil pecinlly if the city axt in importance to regulat- is the making the city Twould have special pains taken to provide the city with good hotels, parks, theaters, libraries and ropolitun press. 1f wei have these people will come herg, they will buy their goods here, spend . their money here, and that is what makes a ¢ity. None of the g points | st have Howest will never malke ny impartance, although has thousands of men at work in its fuctor Our lurge jobbing houses :do not employ many men as & factony, but they employ higher priced men and it is that class of men that contribute most to the building up of a city. Merchants come to Omuha and you will hear them talk about making a trip to Chicago, If you induive what they are oing for they will say that they have a little husiness to attend to therve, but that is not the real reason for their trip. They go to Chicago to see something and be enteriained We must make Omaha attractive cnough to bring them here. F.C A wanager of Fairbunks, Morse & Co., idea that a board of trade should be something more than an organiza- tion for the purpose of bringing business h 'e 4 month or such a matter. board of trade takes the neerning business,” said In Cincinnati where 1 used to the business men of the city met at e Board of Trade ev day between the hours of 11 a. w. and 1 o'clock p. w. If you wanted to make an appointment with an other busivess man instead of going to his oftice you would meet him at the board. If o collector presented a bill it was & common thing 1o say. ‘Leave this and I will look it up, and if all right will hand you a check on it | the voara l wanted to It a business receive a proposition of some sort the custom was to telephone the party and ask them to look up the matter and be prepared to make a propo- ition when they met on the board. Bu: ness men of all classes met on the board, merchant bankers insurance men, commission men, live stock dealers, and in act every one who had any busin to transact. The attendance was so general that I could do more business during the two hours session of the board than all the rest of the day in my ofti £ did not have to run all over the city to find the people I wanted, but they were all the Men would meet there who had no idea that they would do any business that d: but would get into conversation with other busi- ness men and rhn_into a lot of busine: n have no idea of the convenicnce of some place where business men can vs be found at certain hours of the day. In Cincinnati we forced evey one to either join the board or take out tickets giving them the privilege of the floor. Those who belonged would make appointments for the board and when the other party protested that he did not belong all the satisfaction he would get would be ‘well you ought to belong.’ Other commercial organizations of the city should be induced to make their headquarters at the Board of Trade so that all business men will meet there. in Omaha a manufactur a builde g organ ion, which ought to have rooms adjoining the Board of Trade, Omaha is large enough to have such a board and the business men who have the good of the city at heart ought to make sowe effort to bring it about. J. A, Conno man member of the b directors—I want to sce the board take tion with a view to furnishing enter ment of some kind that will bring the people to On N ns, St. Louis and { fall festivities that attract thousands of visitors, Omaha, with a population of 150.000, has attempted nothing of the kind. 'T'o be sure such enter- tainments cost money, but they bring the people, who leave in' the city ten times as much money as the entertainment cost The Board of Trade should work in harmony with the Manufacturers association, and on the same plan, and between the two organ- izations it ought to be possible to secure for Omaha a s of entertainments that would be a ¢ to the city. The manufa turers are talking about putting up a build- ing for holding expositions—that is a good idea, and if the; rry out their plan and hold' a good exposition, that will be one at- jon to bring in the people. Then at the same time the Board of ade should fur- nish some other kind of entertainment, and between the two we could fill the city with strange C. H. Fowler, member of the board tors—The business men do not take terest enough in the board to make a success of it. The grain men alone are not strong ih to carry it. One great trouble has 0 that the board is o olled by the old fellows who have been for twenty or twenty-five years and 'y say, ‘we have built this thing up and we have done this and that and now we are not going to let these newcomers to the city step in and got the same s from our work do.’ The ery scheme that is proposed for the popularizing of the board.
