The senators all voted for Logan, giving him 26 votes. Ruglei's vote was received with cheers, Wheo Sit tig's name was called he made a long speech explaining his position. He voted for Logan under Drotest. . This gave 103 votes for Lngan, the required number for his election. This insures his election. The roll call was tiroceeded with after a time, the democrats X attempting to elect farwell (republican), honinc to set some republican votes, Bar- X a 'a ' TV withdrew his vote from Logan but stated he would not allow any other republican but Logan to be elected. On call of absentees, democrats voted solidly for Lambert Tree After roll call Baker, McNary, MeAliney, f'aidxMil. Ouinn and Crofts changed their votes to Farwell. Barry(democrat) changed his vote to John A. Logan, and the wildest confusion prevailed. GENERAL. LOOAX's SPEECH. ' General Logan, upon being introduced by the speaker, said: "Gentlemen of the senate and house of representatives of the state of Illinois: I congratulate you on having brought to a conclusion this most remarka ble contest, which has been- going on for nearly four months. 1 have no words to express, my gratitude to the representatives of this reat state of Illinois for the compli ment they have paid me to-day, Havinc teen elected for the third time to represent this gret state iu the senate of the United States, I hope I have so acted and deported myself in the position before is to bring no discre-'.it upon myself, ray party, state and count y, and my past history is the only gnari..!tje I can give for my future course. From ;!ie deepest recess of my bosom I again iliank you for the honor you have con ferre.l upon me. There is no position on earth which could be more gratifying than "to represent this great state. In this con test, Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, which has been an unusually close and heated one. I am proud to state that nothing ha3 trans pired to mar the friendly relations existing Tetw.un myself and my worths opponent. For thirty years this gentleman aud myself have been friends, and I trust we will always continue as such. Loud applause. I believe there never has been a contest be tween two persons which has been waged more earnestly for their parties than this, and in which mutual relations remain so pleasant. I respect Mr, Morrison politically and socially. I am proud to say we are friends, and sincerely hope we may ever be friends. Cheers. As to the other gentle man who was my opponent for a time, I can say nothing against him, nor would 1 want to. Mr. Tree and myself lived neigh bors for many years in Chicago, and I have always had the highest respect for him. He made as good a contest, cominjf late into the field, being a little short of votes, as -could make. For him I have nothing but respect. A REMARKABLE CONTEST. "In consequence, gentlemen, I desire to aay that no matter what may have occurred during this contest, it has been earned in a spirit of fairness. No snch contest has ever been known in this country before, and it has appeared strange to me that there has been so little excitement and bitterness ex hibited. It is remarkable, 1 say, in a con test which has lasted so long and been so close that there is so little bitterness of feel ing displayed, and I desire to say that in representing the people of this state of Ill inois in the United States Senate, I shall ever try to do that which seems to me to be my iuty, representing my party and my constituents fairly and honestly. Cheers. 1 leave here having no bitter feeling toward anyone who may have opposed me. I re 1 specs the nan who will stand by his creed and his friends, and I expect no more from others than is accorded to me. If I go to Washington I do not go there with any fire burning in my bosom, or feeling of antagon ism of any party or present administration. I shall endeavor to represent you fairly and honestly and stand by you in all which I believe is right. Gentlemen, again I thank yon. I tender you my most profound thanks. I have not bef ere, nor can I repay yon for the manner you have stood by me in this legislature and state. I shall ever Temember this and endeavor to prove worthy of the trust yon have this day con fided to me. Thanking yon again, 1 hope yon will learn in th; future that the wrong man has not been elected," Applause and cheer, Kansas City, May 17 A cy clone through Rooke county on the 15th, about 4 P. M., starting near the line between Os borne and Rooke counties, at the southeast corner of Medicine township, and following wnstly course, dealing death and de struction throughout the pathway of its entire course. Nearly fifty persons were injured. The loss at Bull City and Stock ton consists of chimnej s blown down and window glass broken by hailstone measuring four inches in diameter. The damage in Rooke county will probably re ich 50,000. Dispatches from Independence that one of the most severe rain-storms that ever have visited southern Kansas occurred last Friday, flooding Elk and Verdigras rivers; drowning a great number of cattle. Six persons were drowned on Card creek, seven mile3 west of this place, among whom were Mr. Rix Mrs. Wood and two children. There is no telegraph connection with the west. On the line of the Southern Kansas route greal damage was done to the railroad and bridge. RIOT AT DENVER. Denver, May IS. The shopmen's strike on the Denver aud Rio Grande road assumed a very serious aspect to-day. In accordance with an announcement made at a striker's meeting yesterday afternoon, 'at which several incendiary speeches were made about oOOmeu and 40 or 50 women as sembled in the vicinity of the orkshops this morning. Several inflammatory-speeches were made, songs snug and a general demon stration of defiance indulged in. One of the yardmen returning to work was set upon by the crowd, knocked down kicked and cut in a most brutal manner. Other workmen were escorted through the crowd by the aid of a posse of deputy United State. marshals. About 8 o'clock 200 or 300 of the strikers formed a line and marched to town. A halt was made iu front of the office of the Rocky Mountain News, whiih had seen fit to criticise tho action of the men in striking and to denounce some of their designing leaders. Here copies of the News were burned by the mob, amid a pandemonium of cheers and yells of derison and defiance. The crowd then proceeded up Sixteenth street. At Shedd s cheap store a halt was made and fthe same programme gone through with. It appears Shedd recently discharged a saleslady who belonged to the women's branch of tne Knights of Labor organization without asking consent of that body. Circulars commading the readers to bovcot Shedd's cheap stor and boyeot the News were distributed eve:y where. . Talks with a large number of our best citizens to day prove that whatever sym pathy the strikers may have retained up to this time has been lost by the riotous conduct of this morning. No arrests have yet ueen made. RIEL CAPTURED. Riel's capture absorbs all other topics. Kiel says Lawrence Clark of the Hudson Bay company precipitated the uprising. The half-breeds were celebrating the feast of St. Joseph when Clark arrived from Win nipeg. Clark first mocked their religion and then told them that 300 soldiers were coining to join in the feast and would give them all the wanted in the way of ceremony if they did not go back to their homes and abondon their nonsense. Riel was absent from Batouche at the time and on his return found that his people were in arms and had determined to plunder the stores before the trooDS mentioned bv Clark arrived. Ri el denied that he was leader of the rebellion and says he can prove he wanted to go back to the United States, but would not be al lowed. He expects to be hanged and de votes the greater part of his time to fasting and prayer. Louisville, May 18. The fourth day's meeting of the Louisville jockey club had a large and fashionable attendance at Church ill downs this afternoon. The weather was fine, though the track was a little dusty. The surprise of the day was the winning of the Louisville cur bv the California horse Lucky B., who easily beat Swiney, the fa vorite. of agriculture, reports that the present year at this time, presents the worst wheat pros pect known in ten years, not only in this state, but as far as his correspondence reaches. - DROWNED BY A WATERSPOUT. Omaha, May 17. A waterspout descended upon a nvine near Keruey, Aeo., in day light, washing a family of emigrants named Scott from their wagon and drowning two children. GENERAL GRANT'S CONDITION. New York, May 17. Doctors Shardy, Douglas and Sands held their nsuat Sunday consultation on Ueuerai Oram; s ceanan to-day. Shrady afterwords made the fol lowing report: "We found the General'3 local condition neither better nor worst'. In fact there has been no change during the last three days." New York, May 18. General Grant last nicrht rested well, aud sained his usual amount of fdeep. He did not experience any great pain last night, nor has he to-day. He arose between 8 and 9 o'clock to-day, and is feeling comparatively bright and strong this morning. A mass of revised proof and new manuscript for the forthcom ing hook was taken to the publishers this n morning. The geueral will do no work to day. AMERICAN CITIZEN RELEASED. Hagerstown, Md., May 18. Rev. Mr. Onderconk of St. James college to-day re ceived a telegram from the state department at Washington, stating that Secretary Bay ard had been informed by the Ecuadorian minister that his government had released Julio R. Santos, an American citizen, about whose imprisonment there has been so much correspondence. THE WINNEBAGO TROUBLE. Bismark, Dak., May IS. Governor Pierce has received a letter from President Cleveland, regretting the necessity for en forcing tne executive order for vacating the Winnebago reservation, and lna (the govern or) ask settlers, as a favor, that they ob serve the provisions of the same, so as to prevent trouble. THEO. R. & N. LEASE. New York, May 18. There has been much talk in Wall street the last two or three days concerning the proposed leasing of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Co. 's lines by the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific railroad companies, and some very conflicting stories have been set afloat. Of ficers of the Union Pacific company have realized for some time that the company could not legally be a party to such lease as was proposed. The matter was therefore adjusted on another basis, and full terms of the understanding will probably be made public to-morrow. The arrangement made it is said, is satisfactory to both the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific companies. The lease of the Oregon Railway and Navi gation line, it is now understood, will eith er be made join-Jy by the Northern Pacific and Oregon Short Line company, which is controlled by the Union Pacific, or by the Northern Pacific company alone, with an amicable traffic arrangement with the Union Pacific. Rental will ba pai l at the rate of 5 per cent, on the Oregon Railway and Nav igation Co.'s stock for the first three years, and 6 per cent, afterward. POOR CROP PROSPECTS. Topeka, Kan., May 18. Reports re ceived here from thirty-five counties m western Iowa, forty-six counties in eastern Nebraska, fifty-six counties in western Mis souri and sixty-eight counties Kansas, which is a solid territory ot 400 miles north and south, and 300 miles east and west, and which embraces the larger portion of the wheat belt, show that the wheat prospect in the counties of Iowa and Missouri is 66 per cent, less than the crop of last year, in Nebraska 60 pei cent., aud in Kansas 58 per cent less. The delay in planting coin is twelve days in Iowa and Nebraska and twenty -two days in Kansas and Missouri About one-third of the corn crop of Kansas has been planted and one half of it will have to be replanted. A noticeable fact is that corn is selling in this city for from forty to forty -three cents, while at several points in this state it sells for upwards of fifty cents Farmers of this state look for an indifferent corn crop and as a consequence are holding old corn. It is safe to say that no more old jorn will be sent from the state this year 1 William Sims, secretary of the state board GLADSTONE SPEAKS. London, Ma; 18. In the house 6f com mons Gladstone, in imawr to the question by Northcote. said negotiations with Russia concerning the Afghan question were still unfinished, ana on that account the govern ment was unable to present any more papers on the subject to parliment now. CHINA'S AID DESIRED. Calcutta, May 18. The Indian govern ment has decided to send Mr. Carey, mem ber of British civil service, to Yarkund, in Chinese Turkestan.

PLANTING TORPEDOES. Constntinople, May 18. Turkish of ficers are still busily engaged in planting torpedoes is the straits of Darbauelles. DYNAMITER3 SENTENCED. London, May 18. The trial of Cunning ham and Burton, at the old Bailey, was hrouuht to a conclusion to-day. The court room was crowded with people to hear th judge's charge, and see the termination of the ease. Among the notables present were the lord mavor and the United States Min ister Phelps. There were many ladies thnroom. The Drisoners wore an anxious look, and followed Judge Hawkin's charge with intense interest. The drift of the charge wa3 clearly against the prisoners The judge began by explaining the nature of the charge against the prisoners, and ex pounded the law on the subject. He then analyzed the evidence, calling the jury's attention to fact that Burton's statement was not made under oath, and therefore entitled to very little credence. If there was any truth in the statement, said the inilcrf. it was astoundine that no witness j " was called to support it. The judge drew attention likewise to the fact that Cuoning- ham and Burton had frequently besn seen tnoether. and dwelt upon their connection with the trunk; what they had told their landladies concerning it, and the very unsatisfactory information that Burton had since given of his reiatujn thereto. The iurv then retired. They remained out not lonsjer than fifteen minutes, and re turned with a verdict of guilty against both nrisoners. The court at once sentence I i both men to penal sorvitnde for life. Th announcement of this sentence was received hv the snactatois with applause, which the J I SB cenrt sunoressed. Mr. Phelphs sat be3ide Justice Hawkins while he was sentencin Cunningham and Burton. requisitions bn the civil service commission will be made out. As matters now stand the chances of putting in democrats are very good. The quotas of all northern and western states are filled, and all appoint ments that are now made will be from the southern states, there is every possibility that even with a fair and impartial selection nine out oi every ten of those selected for appointment will be democrats.

Lord Granville has expressed himself as very much impressed by Minister Phelps' genial bearing and bril liant conversational powers. Mrs. Phelps is also charming everybody whom she meets by her affability.

WASHINGTON NEWS VILAS IN TROUBLE. Washington, May 6. Some time ago veteran democrat said: "Vilas is a very light weight and will give the president t.mnHp" Vilas in a confidential letter to congressmen, seems fully to justify this nninion. Tt seems that conies of the letter i - - have been sent to democratic representatives and. the publication of it made Vilas ex tremely angry, and he set. ou foot an inves tigation to ascertain who betrayed his con fidence. It is understood he suspects con gressman Wilkius of Ohio. Some things in the lett.T. especially his illusion to "clerks of fourth-class postmasters, who have clerks shows that 'Vilas is still ignorant in respect to matters belongiug to his depart ment. Cleveland is said to be greatly mor titied bv the publication of the letter of bis over-zealous subordinate. JUDGE WALLACE TO BE SENT TO CHINA Washington, May 15. Judge Wallace of San Francisco , it is said, has beeu selected as the successor to John RuS3ell Young as minister to China and his appoint ment will soon be announced. Judge Wal lace was recommended to the president and Bayard as a suitable man for the place when it became known that it was the attentio of the president to give the office to Califor nia and some correspondence relative to the matter has passed between the state de partment and Wallace, the result of which was the arrival here of the Judge. He had an intervie jv w.ith tho president and Bayard aud it is said was formerly tendered the office and accented it. It is said that Judge Field, a protest againt Wallace's appoint ment will be tiled and this may result Wallace's commission being withheld until the matter is investigated. REMOVED FORM A CIVIL SERVICE OFFICE. Washington, May 19. Republicans departments here who were foolish enough to believe they would be allowed to retail their plaees under the present administratio; because the offices they filled came uncle the scope of the civil service law, had their eyes opened to-day, when it was announced that Chauncy G. Heath, an $1800 a year clerk in the office of the third auditor of the treasury, has been dismissed on the ground of offensive partisanship. Heath was ap pointed from Wisconsin several years ago. He went home at the last election and voted against General Bragg, in whose district he lives. For this he was to-day dismissed, at the request, it is said, of Bragg. This is the first removal for "offensive partisanship" from any office covered by the civil service law, but it is generally believed many others will follow.
