WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Some question has arisen as to whether the senators to be chosen to fill vacancies in the states of Mon tana, Washington and Wyoming can be lected upon the first day tho legislatures meet, or if the election will be postponed until after the prescribed time. The senators are to fill terms soon to begin, while the sit- ting members' terms are about to expire. Senator Dubois of Idaho has been looking up the matter for some friends in the west and has found that senators selected to fill vacan- cles must be elected in precisely the same manner as chose to fill terms to expire in the near future. This will prevent the election of senators to fill the vacancies until the time when the regular senatorial elections would occur. Another matter which he a tained in looking up the case was that when these senators are elected they will not draw salaries until they qualify, which Is not the case in the election of senators elected for full terms. ‘In the latter cass, whether they qualify on the 4tk of March or not, their Ipay begins. Idaho was admitted on July and the senators elected began drawing their pay from that date. Since then a provision has been inserted in an appropriation. bill ‘prescribing when senators elected to fill the “vacancies shall begin drawing pay.

Labor Commisisoner Wright's bill for a national committes of arb.tration was read, but as the measure is not yet in bill form, Messrs. Arthur and Clark reserved their opinion on this particular bill until later. ey Lepresenied themselves as ungualifiedly in favor of federal arbitration. Mr. Arthur said that his organizaton would not even abject to compulsory arbitration. Mr. Clark'’s views were along the same line of general approval of arbitration. The chiefs agreed also that the plan of national incorporation of labor organizations, the individuals to be subject to removal for violence or lawless- ness, was desirable so long as the individuals wero not made personally liable for the acts of the organization as a wholz.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 19.—Acccrding to a report to the State department from United States Consul Stephen at Annasburg, Ger- many last year produced 4,953,149 tons of Pig iron, which is “the barometer of indus- tral life.” Germany al e pre-ents a stoady fnerease n this production, and although England {5 as yet produciig as much pig ircn as Germany and France together, her output has taken a downward course, war- ranting the belief that Germany will' reach her level in a few years and soon after stand second to the UnMed States as an fron producer. The consul attributes the Success of the Germans to their untiring efforts to find new markets.

Dr. Finney, who was with | Bowen from the time he went down to his death, said that Lavigne's blow had not | caused Bowen's death. Lavigne, at the time he struck the blow, was in such a condition that it was questionable whether he could have administered to a reasonably well trained opponent a blow which would have knocked that opponent out. The witness said that had and fallen without having been struck at all and had fallen as he did in the last round the result would have been the same.

CARLISLE'S PLAN CONDEMNED A i Remedy Proposed by the Seorotary for a Siok Tbistry Turned Down. VIEWS OF T..B, WALKER OF MINNEAPOLIS Stability and “Safety of More Importance Than Elasticity—How He Would Amend the Natlonnl Banking Laws-Cana~ dlan Condifions Are Different. MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 18.—~The Minneap:lls Journal publishes today a notable article on the currency question, written by Mr. T. B Walker of this city, well known as a financier and one of the largest lumbermen in the country, He takes the ground that the element of stability and safety In the currency issues is of far greater consequence than the matter cf elasticity; that for any party to tnact a law that would enable the banks to expand and contract the currency at pleasure would be a fatal political blunder; that a currency issue based on capital stock of banks as security or on the depcsit of a portion of the amount of the currency in greenbacks, as in Mr. Carlisle’s plan, is entirely unsafe and would be unable to weather the perlodical pante, He regards the Canadlan banking system as an unsafe one for th's country and ex- presses the belief that had our banking laws been simflar to those of Canada all our banking institutions would have suspended or failed. There was no panic in Canada nor any reason for one. The prospective reduction” in duties and the placing of Tumber on the free list, that would probably enable them to take $25,000,- 000 of money per year from this country, would not tend to’ create distrust or pro. duce a panic among them. On the contrary, it would increase their prospects in the same proportion that it reduces ours. When their banks pass through a pantc like the one that swept over this country it will determine better their stabllity and permanency. And their few large well managed institutions might not prove how a smilar system would stand with us. * Conditions here are different from those in' Canada or among European nations. Our ' nearly 4,000 natlonal banks now existing, with the other thousand that would be organized, would constitute, under an “elastic” capital stock banking law, an exceedingly unsafe commercial system, under which would develop speculative tendencies with inflation and collapse.” To issue bills against capital stock that has a full line of depositors to-protect, which is a sufficient load without any further or additional demands on the same fund, will not be a safe basis to rest on. To go from the great extreme of refusing the national banks the right to issue currency to the amount of the face of the United States bonds to wiping out all securities for the circulation is a step too far in the direction of the wild cat currency of carlier years. That as neither party has heretofore ven- tured in the fave of the populistic opposi- tion to the najonal banking law, to_author- ize a currency fsduj greater than 85 per cent of the face the government bonds, it makes it a decidedly hazardous move for either party to attempt to run to the ex- treme positionoof Mssuing currency without any direct bofidetisecurity.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—The executive com- mittee of the State Bankers' assoclation has decided to present a bill to the coming session of the legislature for the abolition of three days' grace. To the same committee, which will have charge of the measure, was also entrusted the presentation of another bill to make an endorser of a note or commercial paper equally liable with the maker. It had been the intention of the members to express themselves against the Baltimore currency plan, but after consideration it was deemed inadvisable for the executive committee to assume to give expression for the entire assoclation, though it was evident the great majority of Illinois bankers were opposed to the plan. SMOKED THE BONBONS. Fire In Geotty's Candy Store Causes a Loss of Two Thousand, Damage to the extent of several hundred dollars directly by fire and to the extent of perhaps $2,00, by bath fire and smoke was done to the appliances and stock in J. R. Getty’s candy and confectionery store, 1417 Douglas street, last night shortly before 11 o'clock. The fire was confined to the basement, which is the manufacturing room, and where some finished stock was stored, and the damage to appliances was wrought here, On the floor above the goods not in casings or show cases must have suffered much from smoke, as well as the considerable stock of miliinery goods belonging to Frank Mitchell, which “occupled the west side of the room. Mr. Getty carrled a stock valued at $7,000, Insured at almost 80 per cent of its worth In the Phoenlx, Queen and Firemen companies and one or two others. Mr. Mitchell's stock was also insured. The bullding, i threc-story brick, Is the property of Smith Bros., and the 'loss on this cannot exceed $200. A spark from the candy furnace lighting on boxes or woodwork near is supposed to have caused the fire. ——————— Unlon Voteran Leglon Entertalnment.

Sa tolli to a cardinate, the Times says: “‘Mon Satolll, the apostolle delegate to the United | States, when nominated a cardinal at the next consistory, will receive the berretia from a special messenger, chosen among the Papal Noble Guards, and an apostolic ablegate, who will immediately start for the Unifed States, “The imposition of the berretta made in Baltimore by Cardinal Usually, when a nuncio is elevated to the Ablegate will be Gibbons.

A meeting of the Omaha branch of the Natlonal League of Commission Merchants was held Tuesd evel Every firm in the league was represented, and that includes a majority of the commission firms doing busl ness in the city. mber called the attention of the com- n men to the fact that there were not less than four snide commission firms opera ing in Omaha at the present time. It was stated that these firms made no pretention of doing a far business, but were in business simply for the purpose of swindling country merchants and shippers of produce. The parties connected with these firms have been operating in Omaha for some time, and whe it gets too warm for them they simply change names and go on the same a8 before.

But in the case of Mons, Satcli, Mr. Cleveland being a_Prot- estani, and the constitution ¢f the United States’ not allowing any official recognition of a papnl delegate, the usual form had to be dispensed with, and the archbishop of Baltimore will have to take the place of the head of the United States govern- ment in the proceedings. “Rev. Father Papl, secretary of the apos- tolic_delegation in the United States, has resigned his position in order to enter the Jesuit order. His place will be conferred to Rev. Dr. Rooker, vice rector of the American college 'In_Rome, who will probably be the bearer of the cardinalitial berretta to Mons. Satolli. He will in this fon be created a monsignore. he Times says the consistory will be held about the middle of December. Car- dinal Gibbons of Baltimore is named a one of the cardinals w attend. Six new cardinals will be ¢ . Two of them will be French, three Italian, and one an eastern patriarch. No mention is made of an_American for the dignity, and all re ports_coupling the prelates of New York and St. Paul with the red hat are evi- dently unfounde An tnteresting explanation 1 given by the Times for the sudden and surprising resig- nation of Bishop Matz of Denver. The resignation was tendered about two months ago, and the reason glven for it in Denver was that the bishop was weary of the.r sponsibility of the office. The Times Mons, bishcp of Denver, Colo., has been obliged by the propaganda to send in his resignation. For a long time he has had trouble with several priests of his dlo- cese, but the suspension he lately inflicted on Father Malone, who was afterward re- instated by Archbishop Chappelie, has been the principal cause of the propaganda’s pro- ceedings. He was lately offered the bishop- ric of St. Cloud, Minn, but he refused point blank to change his diocese. For this dis- obedience he will now only be bishop in title and dignity, without any jurisdiction, and will have “to retire in Germany, his native country." dagsing from religlous to secular affairs the Times say “Mr. McVeagh, the United States embas- sador ‘to Rome, has opened his new house at the Palazzo Plombino, in the Quartiere Ludovisi, on the occasion of Thanksgiving day, ~His residence was beautifully deco- rated. ~Mrs. McVeagh, assisted by her charming daughter, did the honors of the evening.” Nearly all the prominent Ameri- cans mow in Rome were present. “Mrs. C.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 19.—The Ulntah com- missioners arrived at Price, Utah. today complaints were being sent in from shippers that they could not get their money for pro duce shipped, and that such complaints had been shown to lawyers and to the police, but that nothing could be done with the offend- ers. A clrcular sent into the country by one of the fraudulent firms was read, showing that the method of operating is to quote prices that are way above the market and in that wav induce shippers to send their pro- duce. When the produce is sold they return what they see fit or keep the whole proceeds. The circular in question was dated December 15, and the following are some of the quota- tions as compared with those published for the same day in The Bee and the Omaha Price Current: Pri Curr urkoys wr Roll Tt amon Biut Creamory Potatoes 3 004 Bitoe The Price Current is controlled by the commission men; and its quotations give their idea of the market, while the report in The Bee Is made up by a special reporter, de- tailed for that work, who bases his quota- tions on the sales made by the commission men. The reading of the circular brought on a long discussion of ways and means for pre- venting such imposture, but no conclusion was reached. One firm remarked that it had been buying eggs of the commission firm that sent out the above quotations, and was paying 15 cents per dozen cash, and still the firm asserts that it is receiving 23 cents and 24 cents for its eggs. The subject was finally cut short by the presentation of the order of business, and the subjects to be considered at the annual meeting of the league in New York. A dis- cussion of this matter took up the balance of the time at the disposal of the meeting. It was vesolved that Omaha should have a full representation at the national meeting to be held in New York City, in January, and the following were elected delegates: Alex Riddell, 0. W. Butts, B. J, H. Wohlers, H. G. Streight and B. B. Branch; alternates, B. H. Whitney and J. A, Clark. Several com- mission men have announced that they will attend the meeting as spectators.

A BOLD ASSERTION. Ever since Prof. Koch startled the world ‘f(v promising to cure consumption with the och lymph and his complete failure to do 50, the people have been looking for some discovery which would prove an absolute, certain cure for that dread discase. Overa quarter of a century ago Dr. R. V. Pierce chief consulting phys n to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, put in a claim for a medicine, which he had discovered and used, in his extensive practice, that would cuze ninety-eight per cent, ofall cases of consumption when taken in all its carly stages, Time has proved that his assertion was based on facts gained from experience, His *‘Colden Medical Discovery " has cured many thousand people in all parts of the world, and Dr, Plerce invites all interested to send to him for a free book which gives the names, addresses and ph()lnfi{m‘)hs of many prominent people who have willingly testificd to the marvelous curative prope tics of his “‘Golden Medical Discovery.
