Nearly every -ward in the city was rep resented by members of the precinct com mittees, and all were of the opinion that it was tic\e to commence holding meet ings in the various wards in the city, tind it was decided to leave these meet ings to the call of the chairmen of the ward committees, and a number of these meetmaw will be called during the month, end will continue at such intervals as is c.eemed advisable by the chairmen and members of the precinct committees.

ROAST FOR GCODNOW. •Poultney Bigelow Pajs His Respects to Consul at isliungUai. Poultney Bigelow created something of a sensation last evening in the course of » this lecture on "Problems of Colonization," by referring to the actions of Mr. John Goodnow during his term of administra tion as consul to Shanghai. Without men tioning any names the lecturer made it Quite apparent as to whom his remarks were directed when he said that the rep resentative of America abroad should not te a man who had his face publicly slapped in a club and about whose name scandal had attached. The man who had attacked the consul in the club, instead of being censured for his action, was complimented upon it, the only regret being that he did not hit him c second time. He was also, said the lecturer, in the liabit of getting missionaries who had l>ae.n married, in the interior" to come up to Shanghai to be married in order that M'CREARY ELECTED JvENTJ CXV SEXDS THE MADISOX COUNTY STATESMAN TO SUC CEED DEBOE • EASILY DEFEATED CANTRILL Caucus AVas Harmonious In iSvery He»iieet-\ew Senator Has Been Often. Honored by Blue Grass State. FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 9.— Standing in the rostrum of the old hall of rep resentatives of the Kentucky capital, where, nearly thirty years ago he began his public career, James B. McCreary, of Madison county, tonight accepted the nomination of the Democratic party to succeed William J. Deboe in the senate ©f the United States. He received the nomination by a vote of 62 to 37 over Circuit Judge James E. Cautrill, of Scott county, nearly two thirds of the Democratic members. He ■will be elected by the general assembly in joint session on Tuesday of next week over Senator Deboe, who was indorsed by ihis party for re-election. The Democratic caucus tonight was harmonious throughout, the only surprise being that sprung several nours before it convened by the withdrawal of Con gressman Charles K. Wheeler and Con gressman David H. Smith, who have been in the contest for the r>ast year. They withdrew only when it became ap parent that McCreary would be nomi nated, and Judge Cantnll remained in the race only to receive a complimentary New Senator of Sturdy Type. For forty years James B. McCreary lias been prominent in Kentucky's his tory. He first came into notice in 1562. ■when he assisted in raisins the Eleventh cavalry regriment for the Kentucky serv ice, C. S. A. In this regiment he was subsequently made lieutenant colonel, a rank he held at the close of the war. lie served with distinction in the Army of the Tennessee under Gens. Morean and Bragg and under Breckmridge in Virginia and surrendered with his regi ment at Appomattox. He entered politics in ISG6, being chosen to represent Madison county in the Ken tucky legislature. In 1875 he was elected governor on the Democratic ticket. After retiring from the executive office he was elected to congress six successive times. Gov. McCreary was appointed by Presi dent Cleveland in 1892 one of the five «.o*Srnissioners to represent the United Sf*tc3 in the international monetary con iireiiee. In that conference he distin guished himself as an advocate of bi metallism. BRYCE TALKS SENSIBLY. J'leads for Generous Terms for the Boers. LONDON, Jan. 9.—James Brvce (Lib feral) member of parliament *or Aber fleen, in the course of a speech to his ionts at Aberdeen today advocated mpiing generous terms with the Boers. He said that he was more concerned for runtry than for the Liberal party, ana would welcome any ministry, how ever composed, that would conclude an honorable peace. Mr. Bryce believed the ; try .was tired of a. ministry which had proved itself incapable of keeping ; or conducting a successful war. Fifclit Orer Carnegie Donation.

CHICAGO DEBATERS HERE. They Will Meet Minnesota's Trio Tonight. The enthusiasm which the coming de bate between Chicago and Minnesota has succeeded in stirring up about trie uni versity is indicative of a lively contest tonight. The question is.

There was more activity among the "bulls and bears" yesterday on-the trad ing lloor of the Chamber of Commerce than has been noted there for several months. The reason for it was not occasion ed by the rise or fall of any of tho staple commodities which are bought and sold at that place, but it was something of a much different-character. The trou ble all arose over the discovery of a small pox suspect in their midst, who had been buying and selling and jostling with b-ia neighbors in the pit. The unfortunate man was Edward Guu ierson, of the firm of G. E. Gunderson & Co. He had been complainings of not feeling well for several days* but had no intimation that he was afflicted with the dread disease. He was immediately taken to he quarantine hospital, and the members on the - floor busied them selves the rest of the day by having vac cine injected into their systems. WILL ADVANCE SALARIES.

SEU ; ESSARY AS A MORAL FORCE 3 *j • INTHB ISUXDS - TOO MANY NATIVES ARE IDLE Spooner Amendment Prevents In- vestment of Capital, and the "Wheels of Industry Are 'Sot Moving. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Secretary Root gave an interesting exposition of the condition of affairs in the Philip pines, together with the outlook for re placing military by civil rule, in the course of a hearing today before the house committee on military affairs In connection with the army appropriation bill. The meeting was behind closed doors, and no exact statement of Mr. Root's remarks was given out, although the following is understood to embody the more essential features. Mr. Hay, of Virginia, asked as to whether civil government could be main tained in the islands without the pres ence of the army. In reply Mr. Root stated that the army was necessary as a moral force to main tain the civil administration now estab lished. One of the main causes, he said, why there had not been more progress in the Philippines was that the Spooner amendment passed by congress last year restricting the grant of fran chises had the effect of preventing the in vestment of capital and the consequent employment of labor. Many people be came conspirators simply because they were idle. Had to Import Rice. The secretary instanced the fact that, although rice was one of the main products of the Philippines, yet about $5,000,000 worth of rice had to be import ed last year. In this and many other branches the wheels of industry were not moving, the people out of employment were encouraged in viciousness and as a result it was necessary to keep some 40,000 troops in the islands. In some provinces a : very satisfactory civil administration had been set up. But Mr. Root pointed out that even in prov inces where civil government had been a! r-ucccss, there were men conspiring to i "assist in the agitation and warfare car lied on in neighboring provinces. The . secretary expressed the belief that i* congress enacted the bill proposed, by Senator Lodge, or that of Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin, providing .sys tems of laws for the Philippines, it would be possible soon thereafter to reduce the military establishment in the Philippines. Simply Trustees in Cuba. The situation in Cuba was discussed only briefly, as Mr. Root remarked that we were simply trustees there, whereas our interest in the PhiliDDines was much more definite and extended, particularly over the large sweep of pub lic lands. Mr. Root also stated during the hear ing that it was the expectation of the war department to do away Wtttf the array transport service, so that the transportation, of troops thereafter would be carried on by private concerns. Some question had been raised by mem-" bers of the committee as to the pro priety of an item in the bill of $1,000,000 for emergency expenses of the war de partment. The secretary said this amount was unnecessary, and had been estimated through oversight, so that the committee doubtless will omit this emergency fund from the bill. Cong-lied Himself to Heath.

If the deal is closed, the present build ing will be torn down to give way for a more elaborate structure, the cost of which will be about $250,000. The hotel will be operated along the same lines as followed by institutions of a similar na ture elsewhere.

Mr. Butterworth came here from Mil waukee, and during his stay has made many warm friends among the ship pers and railroad men of the city. He leaves for his new field of labor next Monday. No announcement has been made as to who will succeed him in the Northwest, but it is presumed that the company will send a representative from some less important agency to take charge of this territory.

AGREEMENT IS OFF PRESIDENT ■ RAMSEY, O** THE JVA BASII, ORDERS AX?(UAIj.PASSES [ it - .-i. ISSUED ,'-;.;-■ OTHER ROADS FOLLOW SUIT Claim That the Competition of the Ohio River Lines Makes the Move an Absolute Necessity. The pass agreement, as far as the lines in the Central Passenger association are concerned, is a thing of the past. x\ll tho Eastern lines are now preparing to send out their usual annual passes, although it is reported that a great many whj heretofore have received the favors, have been cut off. The violation and practical destruction of the agreement is laid at the door of the Wabash. President Ramsey, of that road, yesterday sent telegrams to the presidents of other roads in the associa tion stating tnat the competition of the Ohio river lines compelled him to take the step. President Ramsey's announcement was followed almost immediately by a state ment to the same effect issued by Vice President Mcßae, of the Pennsylvania system, and now all the lines which wer3 in the agreement, will, it is understood, issue the annual cards as heretofore. Officials of all the roads admit that the so-called Ohio river competition is re sponsible for the break, as the East aaid West lines could not do a profitable busi ness when intercepted at every point by other roads which had a material advan tage in traffic, having their passes in the hands of their traveling solicitors.
