OUR LAWMAKERS AT WORK. SENATE-Seventy-flfth day Another crowd, anticipating something of interest on the Cu ban question, tilled tho galleries and they were not disappointed. Mr. Lodge, of Massachu setts, nroso to a question of personal privilege, and in vigorous words rebuked tho Spanish minlsior. tsenor do Lome, for his recent crltl bi.sms of Senators. Mr. Teller added his opin hm that a repetition of tho minister's action should be followed by his dismissal. Senators Oray und Halo maintained that senatorial privileges and prerogatives had been strained to doso tho mouth ot tho Spanish minister. Mr. Lodge did not press for any detlnlto action. Mr. Chandler expressed the opinion that thero was entirely too much attempt at outsido in terference or advice. He referred to the cabled utterances of Minister Castillo and tho presi dent of the council ot Spanish ministers. Mr. Halo then took the floor. He was not prepared, ho h-aid, to yield ono jot from the position hu had taken, and expressed satisfaction that he had been able to obtain from an official Hourco such a temperato reply to tho InHammatory utterances against Spain, which wero without any o:tlcial foundation whatever. Another exciting incident occurred when Mr. Hoar's resolution, providing that tho Cuban question go over until April next, was laid before tho Senate. Mr. Hoar usUed that It go over, as ho was in poor health and did not feel able to speak on tho resolution. Mr. Sherman Was riuicicly on his feet, his face showing much feeling and his voice great earnestness. ftliull object to that resolution ut all stages. X regard it as a rejection on tho committee on foreign relations. After more than a month of discussion, attcr overwhelming votes In both blanches of congress, this resolution is brought hero sending t iio subject back to the committee on foreign relatious. i will most decidedly ob ject." There was a snap to the words of Air. Sherman which loft no doubt of their earnest ness. Tho two venerable Senators, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Hoar, stood sido by side, their desks adjoining, and tho colloquy proceeded nt short range. Tho resolution finally went over. Tho I)upoat contest was then taken up. and Mr. Turpie re sumed his speech against tho claims of Mr. Dupont. but hud not concluded when the Seii uto adjourned. Hu;sk. Tho postoiilce appro priatian bill occupied the moit of the day. A bill wus pasied making a year's "continuous resilience" in a ten itory a prerequisite to ob taining u divorce in such territory. The bill was aimed at Oklahoma territory, whore but W) days' residence Is required. "As a result," said tho report on the bill, -cases are not in vestigated as their importance UcmumU. Scandal and immorality result. Tho bill will abolish these temporary divorce colonies and establish in the territories a safeguard found necessary in nearly ail the states." SKNATE.--5-evonty-sixth day. Tho Cuban debato has advanced to the stuge of ono of tho great debates of tho American congress, and the speech of Mr. Hoar was another eventful feature of the discussion anil wis notable in setting lorth tho conservative view of the sub ject und urging a postponement of action until April ti. Tnls developed many sharp controv ersies with Mr. Shermun and other Senators, lathe main tho speech was a plea for calm, dignilied ui'd judicial action instead of the ex citement and disorder of tho mob and the im passioned speech of orators. Mr. Hoar char acterized his colleague, Mr. Sherman, as ono of tho great statesmen of tho country, und ho be sougnt tho Ohio Senator not to oblitcrato his brilliant record by hasty and un guarded action on the Cuban micstion. Mr. Hoar did not confine himself to Cuba, but spoke against congressional meddling In any foreign negotiation. In this connection ho paid a glowing tributo to Secretary Oiney, while differing with him politically, und added a tribute to tho sincerity of President Cleve land iu dealing with tho Venezuelan question, and declared that anv action by Congress at tacking tho President's course would be an at tack on America. Mr. Hoar's resolution for postponement went to tho calendar. Mr. Sher man announced that from this time forward ho wouid press tho privileged question -tho con ference report accepting the Housu Cuban res olutions. Mr. Allen, l'op.. Neb., offered a joint resolution authorizing ami roiuosting the Pres ident to mako a rigid and thorough investiga tion into tho present state of war In Cuba, whether It is being conducted in accordance with the rules of civilized warfare, whether ex treme cruelties are being practiced by cither sldo. particularly toward non-combatants, und appropriating 'JO.OiiO to be immediately availa ble for the investigation. The resolution went to tho committco on foreign relations. Hiii'sk.-The postofdeo appropriation bill was passed. Attempts wero made to kill tho ap propriation for the "spy system" on local car riers, and tho appropriation of tl'.M.nort for special mall facilities from Boston to Is'ew Orleans, but to no purpose. Senate -Seventy-seventh day A bill to in corporate the maritime canal of North Amer ica, to connect tho Hudson river and tho Great lakes, was introduced in tho Scnato by Mr. Hansbrough. of North Dakota. Tno system includes canals from tho head of udo water navigation on the Hudson to Lake C'hamplain: from tho head of Hake St. Krancis to tho St. Lawrence liver above Long Sault itaplds: from Lcwiston on tho Niagara river to a point on the river above tho falls, and authority to deepen and widen tho Champlain and Hudson canals Is asked. The channels nrc to bo CO feet deep, to permit two of the largest vessels drawing 20 feet to pass and the locks are to admit vessels 5.)0 feet long and !5 wido. Tho canal is to be under the control of the inter state commerce commission. Senators Sher man and Hill were tho conspicuous llgures in the Cuban debate. The latter forcibly arguing against the mercenary character of tho pend ing resolutions, while Mr. Sherman upheld them with another graphic arraignment of Spain and Oeu. Wcylcr. It was tho fourth day of tho debato on tho conference report, and yet there was no cvldenco of a near approach to a final vote. The galleries continuo to bo crowded, and showed no diminution of public interest. Mr. Hill's opposltlou to tho resolu tions was confined to that featuro which ex pressed the purposo of the United States to in tervene to protect tho legitimate interests of the Uniled States. This tho Senator declared was an Ignoblo and contemptiblo attitude. It was placing tho causo of human liberty and patriotism on a very low plane, and he urged that the resolutions bo defeated in order that thev might bo amended and the mercenary features eliminated. HousK The Coleman H; ck contested election caso from Louisiana was decided In favor of tho latter who is a Democrat. The Aldnch-Robblns contest from Alabama was taken ud and tho evidence pre sented revealed snmo startling frauds. Tho case wasi not decided. Mr. Cooper, of Wiscon sin, presented the bill for tho ship canal from tho lakes to the Atlantic, via Lako Champlain and tho Hudson river. Senate Sovonty-clghth day The excite ment of tho Cuban debato gave way to Mr. CockrcU'8 elaborate Bpeech, occupying four hours, on tho financial question. There was a spirited reference to Cuba early in the day, when it developed, during an explanation by Mr. Lodge, that tho committee on foreign rela tions had received from Secretary oiney a statement bv Senor do Lome, tho Spanish minister, giving the Spanish view of the caso. Tnis brought out very animated suggestions from Mr. Hoar and Mr. Walcott that the Sen ate bo put into possession of this Important testimony. House Hy a vote of 17.1 to r!) tho House unseated U. A. Kobbins from tho Fourth Alabama district and decided that his Repub lican opponent. W. J- Aldrich. was elected and entitled to the scat. Hills were passed re quiring officers of American steamers to be cit izens of the United states and repealing tho laws exempting from tonnago duties vessels from countries which extended similar exemp tions to our vossols. Senate Seventy-ninth day Tho spirited Cuban debate was continued after the early part of tho day had been given to set speeches by Mr. Lodge on Immigration and Mr. Pugh on silver. Tho Cubfin discussion was mainly im portant in bringing out tho full reading of a statement of the Spanish side of tho case by Senor Dupuy do Lome, tho Spanish minister. It claimed to detail tho insignliicant methods of guerrilla warfare tho burning of cnnollelds and the disorganized character of tho bands. Mr. Morgan commented severely on tho minis tor's statement. The Senator had several sharp controversies with Mr. Halo over var ious phases of tho Cuban question. HorsK Several bills werepussed: Among tho import ant was the Oklahoma homestead bill, which relieved homesteaders In Oklahoma of the pay ment of tho purchase price of their homesteads. M ho House also decided, at tho request of Mr. llitt. chairman of tho committee on foreign affairs, to consider tho resolutions censuring. Ambassador Payard. The N.

Italy U Suing for lcnt-o With the Aby atnUiin Kuglaiid I Iteopenini; tho Soudan War to Help Italy-Other Tow. era Not Very Much Pleased. Tho African Situation. Dispatches from Rome say that ne gotiations aro in progress for peace be tween Italy and tho Abyssians and that when it became generally known in Italy produced a feeling of surprise amounting to stupor in most quarters, l'ho conditions, as reported tlms far, fixing tho frontier at tho .Mared river line and the prohibition of fortilications on tho frontier are considered humil iating. Tho majority of the deputies oppose the project and strong pressure will bo brought to bear to break off the negotiations. Advices from ' Mas sowah saj': The negus (King Menelik) has received 100.0UU of his troops in the presence of Maj. Salsa, tho Italian oflicer who is treating for peace with the Abyssintans. Tho troops marched in good order and were well armed.. Later the negus showed Maj. Salsa his quantities of provisions, tho Italians having, some time ago, been under tho belief that tho Abyssinians wero short of supplies. In fact, it is said, that this was one of the reasons which prompted (Jen. lSaraticri to make his disastrous advance. Dispatches from London state that an advance of English-Egyptian troops has been ordered against the Mahdists at Dougola, in the Soudan, undoubt edly for tho purpose of preventing the dervishes making a descent upon the Italians at Kassala. The Times has an editorial discussing the Italian sit uation ami declares that the shock to European prestige owing to the defeat of Adowa cannot be neutralized by Italy concluding peace with Menelik. The advance upon Dongola is urgent in the interest of tho Dritish policy. It will prepare tho way for the ad vance oti Omdurmun when tho time is ripe and the shattering of tho Mahdist power at its base. Tho ultimate ob ject of the advance on Dongola is doubtless the relief of Kassala, whoso capture by the dervishes would be come a serious menace to Suakim and Tokar. Tho possession of the fertile province of Dongola is essential for the protection of Egypt from dervish raids as besides being convenient to tho base of hostile operations, it furnishes largo food supplies to tho Soudan countries under the Khalifa's rule. The is much rejoicing in tho liritish army at the prospect of another cam paign ia tho Soudan, in spito of past experiences with the lierce, tireless troops of the mahdi, and the recent de feat of the Italians by tho Abyssinians. All tho ltritish ojlicersof tho Egyptian army who have been absent on leave have been ordered to return to their posts immediately and a dispatch from Cairo announces that tho Connaught rangers have already been ordered to Wadyllalfa. The proposed Soudan expedition of the l.ritish government e.vcites a vast deal of attention and comment in poli tical circles and in the press in I'.erlin. The German newspapers in comment ing upon tho proposal Egyptian ad vance to Dongola still show an intense hatred for England. The National Zeitung, for instance, scorns tho idea that England will do anything to help Hal j' in the straits into which that unfortunate power has come in Africa, and hints that England will acquire Kassala as a result of the campaign. Most of the newspapers regard tho Dongola movement as a clever move on England's parts to silence clamor on the Egyptain question, and to offer an answer to France and all those who press her for tho evacuation of Egypt for years to come. Franco opposes tho movement un doubtedly and corroboration of this is found in tho dispatch from Cairo, naming as the explicit grounds of her opposition that no movement in tho Soudan exists warranting such a cam paign, and that tho Khalifa Abdullah, successor of the late mahdi, Moham med Ahmed, and military chief under him in tho former war, has lost all his authority and has withdrawn his loyal adherents from the Kassala district. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that King Menelik has asked Russia to mediate between Abyssinia and Italy and that Russia has dispatched liaron Meyendorlf, councillor of the Russian embassy at Rome, to King Menelik with Russia's reply consenting to do so. It is added that tho baron also takes to the negus an order of St. George, a high Russian military dec oration. It Is now a little over 10 years since the Brit ish abandoned I'ongola. after the disastrous campaign of Lord VVolseloy for tho relief of Gordon at Khartoum. With that abandonment the pretense of Kgyptian control of tho Soudan ended. Kgypt proper was delimited from Nu bia near Assouan, where a strong Hrltlsh gar rison was stationed with an outpost at Wady Haifa, in Nubia, about -'ih) miles further south on the Nile, and near tho second or greater cataract. About 2-0 miles still further up tho Nile is Dongola. just above tho third cataract. In the campaign of ls5 Dongola was tho base of the liritish operations against Khartoum. It has a citadel and a population of about in.oon. The advance to reoccupy Dongola is a distinct renewal ot tho war against tho Soudanese. Whether tho step has been taken for the solo purpose of assisting tho Italians by calling oif tho besiegers of Kassala, or is a measure of precaution against a rumored Incursion of tho dervishes Into lower Kgypt is not disclosed. Tho result will bo tho samo In either case. Great Hritain will havo another Soudanese war on its hands. It is suggestive that tho liritish demonstration up tho Nile- followed Immediately the Italian reverso In Abyssinia, as tho Italian occupation ot Massowah followed tho Hrltlsh reverses on tho Nile in iss Two of Japan's new warships vrill bo built in tho United Statt'si i ! ;j j Rishop W. 15.

Chairman J. M. Ickes reviewed the McKinley campaigns iu Ohio, and stated that at the state convention in Zanesvillo last year tho party entered into a pledge to maku Rushnell governor, Foraker sen ator and to use every honorable means to make McKinley president. Two parts of the trinity had been fulfilled und tho Republicans of Ohio had now assembled lo fulfill the third part tho unanimous and unqualified support of MeKjinley for the presidential nomina tion.. These remarks caused such a demonstration that it was some time before Mr. Ickes could introduce Senator-elect Foraker, as the temporary chairman of tho' convention. And when i; Mr. Foraker was introduced there; was another enthusiastic scene, which was repealed as often as he pro ceeded. Senator Foraker devoted his speech to eulogizing and nominating McKinley. It was some time before the ji-outinc business could be pro ceeded with. After tho appointment of the usual committees tho conven vention adjourned for the day. The entire convention was most har monious and was more like a McKin ley rally than a convention. There wero' several warm tussels for candi dates' for tho minor offices of the state goverinent and tho nominations, wero as follows: l)elegates-at-large,i: Gov. Asa S.

MARTIAL LAV IN KENTUCKY. Gov. Itradlcy Calls Out Mllitln Jleeause of the Senatorial right. The riot bell rang from the fire en gine houses at Frankfort and at the same moment Gov. Rradley ordered out the militia, len minutes later tho McCreary guards, 53 strong, Capt. Noel Gaines, were in possession of the state house and martial law was pro claimed. Tho Rlackburn leaders had been preparing all day to take forcible possession of the state house. Threats wero made that the senate would ar rest tho governor for usurpation of authority in giving instructions to the sheriff of Franklin county to clear the corridors and cloak rooms. All trains brought in reinforcements for the men bent on mischief. It was only at the last moment, when the presence of thase crowds presaged serious danger that tho governor yielded to repeated requests of orderly citizens of both parties and called out tho militia. Gen. Collier is in command. Guards surround the state house and permit no one but state officers, senators, rep resentatives and others having consti tutional right, to pass.
