Majority—Senate Decides to Re
consider Vote by Which Resolution
Was Previously Killed.
Madison, Wis., Jan. 27.—This was a
day of sensations in the Wisconsin
legislature—the day fixed by law for
separate ballots by the two houses
for United States senator.
Early in the session of the senate
Senator Blaine, a La Follette member,
presented sensational charges against
United States Senator Isaac Stephen
son, accusing him of the improper use
of money in the primary—an action
that Senator Blaine later character
ized as bribery in
effect were
the
charges sustained.
The assembly refused to reconsider
the Hughes resolution for an investl-

fatlon into the expenditures of money
in the primary, while on the other
hand, by a vote of 22 to 11, the sen
ate voted to reconsider and then ad
Journed without having voted for
United States senator.
Senator Stephenson received 60
•otes, a majority, in the ballot of the
assembly for re election. The vote of
the assembly for senator was marked
by the refusal of fifteen members,
fourteen of whom were Republicans,
to
Oftst their ballots.
Big Campaign Fund Alleged.
At the opening of the session of the
senate Senator Blaine filed specific
charges alleging that Senator Ste
phenson, as a candidate for re-elec
tion, gave to Republican Stnte Chair
man E. A. Edmunds of Appleton a
sum of money in excess of $106,000
and approximating $250,000 in relation
to the primary election held on Sept.
I last and by such acts violated a
Wisconsin statute that the money
was given to Edmunds to pay to other
electors prior to the primary in sums
ranging from $5 per day to $1,000 in
bulk as a consideration for some act
to be done in relation to the primary
by electors for Mr. Stephenson.
Other charges allege that mono}
was paid U. C. Keller of Sauk county.
Ole Hambright of Racine, Roy Moore
of Fond du Lac and divers other per
sons in various sums as a considera
tion for actB to be done corruptly and
unlawfully.
The charges against Stephenson
number sixteen in all, the concluding
nhargo stating that "the primary nom
ination or election was obtained by
the use of large sums of money, cor
ruptly and illegally," and by violation
ot the statutes relating to illegal vot
ing, bribery and corruption.
Senators Husting and Blaine spoke
In favor of an investigation and Sen
•tor Martin opposed it. On a motion
to reconsider the vote by which the
resolution was killed 22 voted for anc

A motion in the assembly to recall
the investigation resolution from com
mittee was lost—30 to 58. The reso
lution was later killed on a vote tc
reconsider, 7 to 81.
FIVE MORE BALLOTS TAKEN
Illinois Legislature Still Deadlocked
on Senatorship.
Springfield, 111., Jan. 27.—Balloting
for United States senator in Joint ses
sion of the legislature was resumed
here. After five indecisive ballots
had been taken, completing the sev
enteenth ballot, the joint session rose.
The changes in the vote noted
through the day's balloting were not
regarded as significant. When the
session ended the conferences and the
discussion over the merits of the sev
eral candidates began afresh. The
names of Free P. Morris of Watseka,
Robert T. Lincoln of Chicago and
Congressman Charles S. Wharton of
Chtaage were added to the list of
those voted for in the Joint sessions.

TO ATTEND THE
CUBAN INAUGURAL
Battleships
Maine and Missis­
sippi at Havana.
Havana, Jan. 26.—The American
battleships Maine and Mississippi
have arrived in Hnvana harbor. The
Maine, flying the flag of Rear Admiral
Conway H. Arnold, pointed the way
and as she passed Moro castle began
saluting the Cuban flag. This saluta
tion was returned from the Cuban
fortress after the 3hips had fully eft
tered the harbor.
As the two ships made their way
through the narrow harbor entrance
the bands on their quarterdecks
played Cuban national airs. The mu
sic, which could be heard on shore
plainly, was greeted with desultory
applause from the thousands of peo
ple who had crowded down to the sea
walls of the city.
Today is the eleventh anniversary
of the arrival at Havana of the old
battleship Maine, whose wreck still is
to be seen in the harbor. While it is
not believed that the arrival of the
new Maine is intended to commem
orate this event the coming of the
second battleship of this name on
this day is regarded as quite appro
priate by the American residents of
1he city.
The Maine and the Mississippi an
chored in plain view of the wreck of
the old Maine. They will i^-maln here
for the ceremonies attending the In
auguration of Jose Miguel Gomez as
president of the new republic, which
takes pla e !:m. 2S.
11SPERSED BY THE POLICE
Cociallata Gather at Berlin for Dohhm*
strstlon.
Berlin, Jan. 26.—A large crowd of
nociallsts, including many women, as
sembled In front of the diet building,
where an interpellation regarding suf
frage reform was scheduled for hear
ing. Their purpose was to make a
demonstration In favor of reform of
the electoral system. The police were
on the scene in force, however, and
ispersed the crowd. A strong cordon
was then established around the
building and further gatherings were
prevented. The socialists then pro
ceeded to Koeniggnaetz street, with
the intention of entering Unter den
Linden through the Brandenburg gate,
but they found this closed by police
men. There were sporadic gatherings
of socialists in other parts of the city
during the afternoon.
Replying to the interpellation in the
diet Minister of the Interior von
Moltke said the government declines
to discuss the matter, because it was
at present engaged in making a thor
ough examination of the question,
which was not yet complete.
AFTER PROLONGED SIEGE
Members of "Lid" Organisation Cap*
tured by Police.
St. Louis, Jan. 26.—Thirteen mem
bers of the Belmont Pleasure club, an
alleged "lid" organization, surren
dered after defying the police for six
teen hours. The officers had gone to
the place to raid it, but found the
doors and windows barred and as the
men inside had been charged only
with misdemeanors the police were
not authorized to break down the bar
riers. There was nothing to prevent
them establishing a siege, however,
and squads of patrolmen were kept on
duty for sixteen hours. In an effort
to drive the men out the police blew
cayenne pepper through the keyholes
and stopped up the chimney. The be
sieged sneezed and coughed, but by
pressing their faces close to the win
dows managed to get enough fresh air
to neutralize the police tactics until
the club's larder emptied. Desire for
breakfast caused them to surrender.
ON IMMIGRATION QUESTION
Japanese Foreign Minister to Make
Important Speech.
Tokio, Jan. 26.—Count Jutaro Ko
mura, minister of foreign affairs, is
expected to deliver an important
speech before the diet a few days
hence when, it Is understood, he will
enunciate the government's policy on
emigration and its determination to
avoid creating embarrassment and
complications with other countries by
not allowing lower class Japanese to
etnlerat.e.
HITCH ON PRISON PROBE
North Dakota Senate and House Fail
to Agree on Resolution.
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 22.—The sen
ate state affairs committee declined
to agree to the house amendments ol
the resolution for an investigation of
the state penitentiary and a commit
tee of conference on the part of the
senate, consisting of Senators La
Moure, Pierce and Tolcott, was
named. The objection to the resolu
tion is understood to be the giving 1
the house of a majority of the mem
bership.
Four Men Ole in Hotel Ptro.
Fort Worth, Tex., Jan. 27.—Four
unidentified men were burned or suf
focated to death and another fatally
burned in a fire which gutted the
Southern hotel. An explosion of a
gasoline stove caused the tire, which
also heavily damaged six other build
ings in the same block. All were
frame structures. Several women em
ployes suffered slight burns.

"Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound ?w
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to
her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 30 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas.—" When I first began taking Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I bad been
si k for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. 1 liad tried several doctor's medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
For three years I lived on incdicines and thought I would
never get well, when I read an advertisinent of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
"My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
"I advise all women suffering from such troubles to grlve
Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound a trial. Tliey wont
regret it, for it will surely cure you." Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
811) Cleveland St., Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.
JEFF DAVIS IViAKES SPEECH
Denounces Gambling in the Products
of the Soil.
Washington, Jan. 27.—The evils at
tending gambling in the products of
the soil by the sale of futures on ex
changes was the subject of a passion
ate speech delivered by Senator Jeff
Davis in the United States senate.
Mr. Davis advocated the passage of a
bill Introduced by him to penalize the
tise of the malls, the telegraph or the
telephone for the purpose of convey
ing gambling propositions between
buyer and seller.
After advocating the passage ol
this measure Mr. Davis denounced
what he declared to be evils of the
"money power" and incidentally
touched upon the policy of maintain
ing a protective tariff as a part of a
system, which, he declared, was for
the suppression of the rights of the
people.
Picturing conditions in Rome at the
time of Julius Caesar he described
the death of CaeBar as the price of
Caesar's love and service for the
poor, declaring:
"Would to God we had a Caesar in
the White House today."
