LYON; 7- ALL NIGHT Senatorial Candidate Madden Consults His Adherents. LATEST SEWS OF THE CONTEST. The All'Xiglit Conference and Humor That the Madden Force Are Wav ring l'ut the Mason Follower la Oood Hu mor John C. Spanner Kecelvea a High Honor at the Hand of the Wisconsin Legislature Named for Senator. Springfield, nis., Jan. 15. Senatorial matters appear to be In bedlam confu sion. Humors of withdrawals of cer tain candidates and counter rumors were flying thick and fast about the lobbies of the Leland from almost day break. The chief topic discussed was the all-night conference held by Mar tin 13. Madden's leaders In Room 203. It began late Wednesday evening and It was near daylight before It ended. Dr. T. N. Jamleson, Congressman Lor- Imer and E. R. Bralnerd were there from start to finish. There was never more than a dozen present at one time and all night long messengers kept run nlng for members of the legislature to take the places In the council of those who had gone. Will Stand by Madden At the conclusion of the council Mr. Bralnerd said the Madden forces would stand by their candidate to the finish "We found no sign of weakness and re solved to make a finish fight of it," he added. Notwithsandlng this show of firmness there were those who told that Madden's lines were wavering. At any rate, it was decided to ask the Repub lican Joint steering committee to post pone the senatorial caucus until Frl day afternoon at 3 o'clock. The weary leaders after a night of weary toil then set about to gather the joint steering committee. It was 10 o'clock before all the members could be rounded up, as many of them room In private houses scattered throughout the city. It Is gen erally conceded that the request for postponement will be granted. Claim It Shows a Weakness. , The Mason followers are jubilant on account of the prolonged Madden con ference. They claim It shows a weak ness In the enemy's ranks. Robert Hltt and his men and those of Samuel Al lerton and those backing the candidacy of Clark E. Carr are watching the pro ceedings with Interest, each hoping to gain a big extra following should Mad den's forces go to pieces. As soon as the Joint Republican steering commit tee met it elected Senator Perry of Pe orla chairman and Representative An derson of Henderson secretary. It then postponed the time for holding the Re publican senatorial caucus till 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, in accord with the request of the Madden leaders. SPOON Kit FOll SENATOK. Republicana Ilestow a Great Honor Upon Their Favorite. Madison, Wis., Jan. 15. The highest honor which the Republicans of Wis consin have ever had to bestow upon a favorite leader went to John C. Spoon er Wednesday under condition and clr cumstances which added to the measure of esteem and confidence Implied. And the much coveted honor was accepted by the recipient In a manner becoming to Its dignity and to the gracious gen erosity with which it was proffered. Never before In the history of the state was a United States senator chosen ex cepting to succeed himself without a contest in his own party; and never before since the Republican party was born has so large a number of Repub licans been found in one legislature wherewith to start a contest. Probably none of those who applauded the pro ceedings will live to see another Joint legislative caucus with 119 votes for any one party out of a possible 133 and they will be a long time dead before the chairman of another such Joint cus cus will announce after a rollcall "118 votes cast 118 votes for" any one can didate. That was the kind of entertain ment which John C. Spooner's friends afforded him Wednesday night. lllack Flag on Fusion. Omaha, Neb., Jan. 15.

He can hold any side fhow he pleases. The great ma Jority of our members have hoisted the j black flag on fusion." Texana to Visit MrKlnley. Dallas. Tex.,Jan. 15.

Washington, Jan. 15. Senator Gear of the committee on Pacific railroads has Introduced a new bill constituting the secretary of the treasury, the secre tary of the interior and the attorney general, a commission with full power to make a settlement of the Indebted ness of all the bond-aided Pacific roadt to the government, upon such terms and In such manner as may be agreed upon by them or a majority of them, and the owners of the roads, providing that in that way settlements shall be approved by the president, and unless approved by him, Bhall not be binding. The commission Is empowered to ad minister oaths, summon witnesses.etc, and it is required to report the action taken within sixty days after the as sembling of the next regular session of congress.

Twenty thousand dollars ii appropri ated for carrying out the provision of the bill. Reorganization Committee. Although no one in authority here, who is cognizant of the facts, Is will ing to discuss the question of what ac tion the government Is likely to take with respect to the Pacific railroads settlement, it is believed that a project is on foot among the members of the reorganization committee In New York looking to a guarantee to the govern ment of a stated amount of Its claim against the roads, provided the govern ment will Join In Its pending suit. The belief in this theory Is strengthened by a paragraph In the last annual report of the attorney general. In which he says: "I think that, unless the pending funding bill be passed and accepted, the government should endeavor to secure terms for Its appearance In court In th way of an assurance of such a bid on the property In case of Judicial sale as will secure to It a fair realization of the value of Its Hen.'

At the convention of the Lake Carriers' association here Wednesday James Kennedy, the for mer contractor, was awarded the con tract for unloading of grain at Buf falo for the coming season.
