GOiYiES UP IN HOUSE
Tawnsy Resolution Adopted by
Vote of 182 to 125.
Washington, Feb. 19.—When the
house met Mr. Dalzell, from the com
mittee on rules, reported back the
joint resolution presented by Mr. Taw
ney, which authorizes the conferees
on the legislative, executive and ju
dicial appropriation bill to treat the
provision making gn appropriation of
$12,000 for the salary of the secretary
of state during the next fiscal year as
if the two houses had disagreed on it.
There was an effort to immediately
order the previous question, but this
was met by an objection from the
Democrats. A roll call was ordered
and resulted 157 yeas and 107 nays.
Consequently the previous Question
was ordered.
After debate the resolution was
adopted, 182 to 125, and now goes to
the senate for concurrence.
If it is adopted the conferees will
take up the salary question as if there
had been a disagreement of the two
houses. The house's conferees are
Bingham (Pa.), Gillett (Mass.) and
Livingston (Ga.).

DEPLORES USE
OF
LARGE
Senatorial Candidate Dis
cosses Expenses.
HATTON ON THE STANU
One of the "AlsonRans" In Primary
Contest Does Not Believe a Nom
ination Secured by Excessive Use
of Cash Should Be Binding, but He
Refuses to Define Hia Meaning of
"Excessive."
Madison, Wis., Feb. 19.—The ques
tion of campaign expenditures was
the basis of the continued examina
tion of W. H. Hat ton, one of the four
Republican candidates for United
ft at es senator, before the legislative
primary investigating committee. He
was asked to define "excessive" ex
penditures, but declined to fix any
certain amount as being excessive.
He condemned the spending of an un
reasonable amount of money in a
campaign for a nomination and did
not believe a nomination obtained
through unreasonable spending of
money should be binding. He side
stepped the question as to whether
the expenditure of $100,000 to $200,000
was excessive, saying he was not
there to approve or condemn the ac
tions of his rivals.
The thirteenth! ballot for United
States senator by the Joint conven
tion of the legislature showed no
choice. Senator Stephenson received
61 out of 130 votes cast, still lacking
five of a majority.
Senator Morris asked Mr. Hatton if
he considered a man who had been
guilty of a deliberate act of fraud fit
for the United States senatorship. Mr.
Hatton replied that it would seem
hardly necessary to a&k such a ques
tion when the intelligent constituency
ot the state of Wisconsin is coasid

MAY BE ENTERING WEDGE
Hopkins Supporter Breaks Away From
Primary Candidate.
Springfield, 111., Feb. ID.—For the
first time in many days excitement
was injected into the deadlock on the
vote for United States senator in the
general assembly by Representative
John L. Flannigen of East St. Louis,
who, in explaining his vote, which he
shifted from Hopkins to Shurtleff, de
clared it his belief that no man now in
the race could be elected.
The action of Flannigen was regard
ed as indicative of a coming shift by
the other Southern Illinois men and
may be the entering wedge which
will result in a dark horse capturing
the togi.
After the close of the session legis
lators commented on the announce
ment of Mr. Flannigen and recalled
that he had nominated Senator Hop
kins on the floor of the house. The
opposition to Senator Hopkins was
quick to assert that the shift of Flan
nigen could be regirded as a with
drawal of the candidacy of the man
whom he had nominated. The Hop
kins men were apparently undisturbed
by the desertion and were firm as
ever in their declaration of ultimate
victory.
ONCE LIVED IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Man Who Attacked Kansas City Mil
lionaire Identified.
Kansas City, Feb. IS.—Robert Ben
jamin Bledsoe, the man who attempt
ed to extort $7,000 from Lawrence M.
Jones, the millionaire merchant, by
the use of a dynamite bomb, has con
fessed his identity. Bledsoe said that
he was well known in Dallas, Tex.
He said that W. G. Gaston, a banker
of Dallas, would vouch for the truth
fulness of his story.
Leaving Dallas about 1900 Bledso"
has had a strange career. He has
been around the world. In 1904 he
was employed by E. D. Olney at the
latter's home at Pierre, S. D. Bledsoe
says his hair changes color. Some
tiiu s it is reddish and at other times
black. This latter statement leads
the police to believe that Bledsoe
dyes his hair, which is now black.
MORE MESSAGES PUBLISHED
Spanish Orders Relating to Surrender
of Santiago.
Madrid, Feb. 19.—The bitter contro

lication here of some cablegrams ex
changed between General Blanco at
Havana and the government at Madrid
regarding the surrender of the city of
Santiago, Cuba, to General Shatter on
July 17, 1S98, has been further enven
omed by the appearance of a fresh
batch of messages which demonstrate
that the government, when it found
that Blanco was unalterably opposed
to surrender, communicated directly
with General Toral, the commander
at Santiago, giving him a free hand

TARIFF CONVENTION ENDS
Delegates Expect Good Results to Fol
low Meeting.
Indianapolis, Feb. 19.—The national
tariff convention adjourned after a
session which officials and delegates
assert has marked a new epoch in tar
iff making in this country.
That the action of the convention in
its demand for the creation of a per
manent tariff commission will bear
fruit in congressional action towards
the same measure is confidently as
serted by its members.
The convention resolved by unani
mous vote that the labors shall not
end with merely the demand for a
tariff commission. The permanent or
ganization formed to continue its
work will extend its influence to every
state and particularly to Washington.
