ColcmbuSj Ohio., Jan. 4. The sena
tonal contest 'this morning snows an
hopeful evidence of an early solution
One by one the doubtful assemblymen
are being forced to yield to public pres
sure or the clamor of their constituents,
and declare themselves, until the list is
becoming so small that the result can
soon be safely declared irrespective of
their possible action.
Last night Senator Parker declared ir
revocably for roraker and this morning
Senator Rawlins is out for Sherman.
This is a distinct gain of one for the
Shermanites as Rawlins has been con
etantlv claimed by both sides. The
Sherman people this morning insisted
that they will have the support of Sena-H
tor Larnpson, president pro, tem, of the
senate, but the Foraker people also claim
him, while the senator himself still
maintains his position of uncertainty.
Senator Sherman, on being ques
tioned, said: ''I . have received
the - assurances that Sampson will
cast his vote for me." A strong effort is
being made by the Foraker men gener
ally to induce labor organizations
throughout the state to declare for' Foiv',
aker, and againBt Sherman. A little ex
citement was occasioned this morning
by the claim of Foraker's people that
Sherman's forces were endeavoring to
secure a vote of Representative Pudney,
of Cleveland, through the influence of
Chauncev Debew who the v said-had conJ.covernor said tbe dispatch etated that
sented to take a hand in the fight for
Sherman. 7 -
It was discovered that this meant that
Pudney will be deprived of his position
as attorney for the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern railway company at
tbe town in which he resides if he fails
to vote" for Sherman. ' The Sherman
people denounce this statement as ma
licious and state that neither Depew nor
any other corporation representatives
are endeavoring to coerce men into sup
porting Senator Sherman.
Two houses of the general assembly
met at ten this morning and organized
by electing Senator Lainson, of Ashta
bula, president pro tem of the senate,
and Representative Laylin, of Huron
county, speaker of the house. The reg
ular caucus nominees for minor positions
were also elected. . In his message to the
general assembly, Governor Campbell
confined himself to . a renewal of such
suggestions and recommendations made
by him to the- 69th assembly, and not
acted upon by that body.
The Nebraska Governorship Case.
Washington, Jan. 4. The Boyd-
Thayer case, involving the question of
the citizenship of Boyd and as a conse
quence bis eligibility to the office of gov
ernor of Nebraska,, to which he was
elected was not decided by the United
States supreme court today.' Inquiry
into the matter developed the fact that
only eight justices sat in hearing the
case. Justice Bradley being absent on
account of illness. The premature an
nouncement that the court had decided
the case in favor of Boyd by a vote of six
to three cannot be correct. Therefore,
so far as respects the majority by which
the decision ' is alleged to have been
reached. , The justices of course would
say nothing whatever in advance of tbe
announcement from the bench of the de
cision. .'..'".'"
The United States Court of Appeals
in
- ..Session.
San Francisco,- Jan. 4. The new
United States circuit court of appeals
for the ninth district opened today with
Judge Marrow of California, . Judge
Hanford of Washington and. Judge
Hawley of Nevada on the bench. .
Trying to Down Hill. .
New York, Jan. 4. The corridors of
tbe fifth avenue hotel were crowded all
the morning with republican senators
and politicians. They spent all yester
day, devising means to overcome Hill's
majority in the senate. there was
nothing done at 12 :30 today, at which I
time the meeting was called to order at
11 o'clock, and is still going on. The
general opinions seem to be that any
thing is fair that can prevent the success
-of Hill in his efforts to seat enough
democrats to control the upper branch
of the legislature.
Crisp la Slowly Recovering.
Washington, Jan. 4. It is definitely
settled that Speaker Crisp will not call
the house to order tomorrow when it
reconvenes. The speaker continues to
improve in health but his recovery is
very slow. There seems to be a general
belief on the part of the democratic
members that McMillan will be selected
speaker pro tem .
I-.- The Mexican War.
Laredo, Texas, Jan. 4. It is stated
here that the Mexican revolutionist
Garza is surrounded in Chaperrel in the
extreme northwestern corner of Zapata
county by the United States troops and
rangers, and that it is almost impossi
ble for him to escape either to the
northward or in the direction of Mexico.
Killed HI Partner.
Sacramento, Calif., Jan. 4. This
forenoon Charles S. Clark shot and
killed Thomas Slater at Klotz ranch,
two miles east of this city. The men
were partners in a dairy business and
had trouble regai-ding accounts.

The Nebraska UOTCrnorahlp.
Omaha, Jan. 2. Ex-Governor Boyd
received a telegram from Washington
this morning, confirming the statement
that the suprume court would decide the
governorship question hi his favor. The
the information was received under such
conditions that the name"Bf the senator
was not to be disclosed, and that the
matter wais not to be published until the
time he would indicate. Governor Boyd
further stated he did not place implicit
confidence in the report, but was in
clined to await until Monday, when the
decision would be rendered. He was in
cliaed to think however, that his
chances were good.
Senator Plumb's Successor.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 2. Senator Per
kins when asked today if his position
on the tariff and silver would be radi
cally different from that of Senator
Plumb, replied
Senator Plumb had radically changed
his views on these questions within the
East year. I voted for the McKinley
ill and Mr. Plumb voted against it, but
he had lately given it as his opinion it
was a wise piece of legislation. So far as
the silver question is concerned, I do
not think anything will be done this
session.
Venezuela in Distress.
San Francisco, Jan. 2. The brig
Courtney Ford sends word from Shoal
water bay that she passed the British
bark Venezuela, of Yarmouth, at sea in
distress,short of provisions, and gave
her a small supply..
The Venezuela is a bark of 948 tons
and is commanded by Captain Utley.
She sailed from Callao, October 16 for
Portland, and is in ballast. She is one
of the vessels supposed to have been
beating off the coast for several weeks,
which probably accounts for her scarcity
of provisions.
Contraband Chinamen Caught.
Seattle, Jan. 2. Eighteen contra
band Chinamen were arrested today by
police and custom officers. They were
brought over from British Columbia in a
sloop manned by white men. There
were about forty Chinamen in the party
and the sloop landed them north of the
city on the sand spit in the mouth of
Smith's cove. The officers raided a
Chinese laundry near the edge of the
town, where they captured the Celes
tials. The other "members of the party
escaped arrest by taking to the woods.
A Brakeman Run Over.
Salem, Jan. 2. This afternoon, a
young brakeman named . J. T. Brazer,
about 20 years old, was run over and
killed by a gravel train on the Southern
Pacific, at. Marion. In some manner he
was thrown across the track while the
the train was switching and the wheels
severed his head from his bodv. He
was well known all along the line and
had many friends among train men.

Washington, Dec. 2. There have
been no new developments in the Chil
ian situation today. None are likely to
occur. . According to the best obtainable
information there are three important
facts which divest the warlike rumors of
the past few days of nearly all their sig
nificance. First The basis of negotia
tions has been transferred absolutely
from Santiago to Washington. Second
The Chilian government has indicated
through Mr. Montt a willingness to sub
mit the questions of the disputes to arbi
tration. Third The president will lay
before congress the whole correspondence
and may possibly accompany that trans
mittal with a recommendation that this
matter be referred to arbitration of the
Mexican minister in Washington, Mr.
Romero, Signor Don Pedro Montt, the
Chilian minister, is himself the au
thority for the statement that the nego
tiations have been transferred from the
Chilian capital to the seat of govern
ment of the United States. Mr. Montt
says that if the questions in the contro
versy had been left to Mr. Blaine and
himself a settlement would have been
arrived at long before this. The chief
difficulty, he says, in the way of an ad
justment has arisen from the strained
relations between the United States
minister, Mr. Egan, and the Chilian
government. All matters are now taken
out of that channel, and tbe correspon
dence is being conducted direct from
here chiefly by cable and witlbut the
intervention of our minister in Santiago..
This removes one great source of friction,,
though at the same time it leaves the
American minister in an anomalous po
sition from which it is thought he will
shortly be reifeved in some manner,
either by a leave of absence or other
wise. The Cjronrrs
Jury Blamei

the Rail-
La Grande, Or., Jan. 2. The verdict
of the coroner's jury, . empaneled to in
vestigate the cause which led up to the-
recent disaster on the Union Pacific
railroad near the city, was practically to
the effect that the company was respon
sible for the wreck, because ol the im
perfect ballasting of tbe road-bed, and
of the poor judgment shown in running
such a heavy engine at the high rate of
speed required. It is said that the fam
ilies of the deceased engsneer aud fire
man intend to enter suit against the
Union Pacific company to recover dama
ges, and that this verdict will be of great
advantage to them in its prosecution.
- Driven Past the' Golden Gate.
San Francisco, Jan. 2. The well
known schooner Robert and Minnie,
which arrived this week from Humboldt
with a load of shingles, had a very rough
passage. Three times she was driven
past the Golden Gate, and with five feet
of water in the hold. As the vessel lay
alongside the wharf this morning, she
presented a battered appearance. Two
men were at work plumbing. During
the trip the w-aves made a wreck of the
fore part of the vessel. The main batch
was carried away and the crew had to
use the lifelines . to prevent themselves
being washed overboard. Not a morsel
of food could be cooked for two da vs.
Nine Men Lost In the Snow.
Carsox, Nev. Jan. 2. The snow at
Summit is from six to fourteen feet deep
on the level. Two Italians left Bijou a
week ago for a wood c amp, a distance of
six miles. They have not been heard of
since and are supposed to be lost. A
heavy snow storm is now raging and a
search of them is prevented. Richard
Hesse and John Douglass left last Mon
day in search of the Kline party, sup
posed to be lost in the snow between
Placerville and Lake Valley. Nothing
has been heard from them since. This
makes nine men lost in the snow, with
the storm still raging.
Sailed in WithoutJAssistance.
South Bend, Jan. 2. The . brig
Courtney Ford, from San Francisco,
bound for Sunshine mill to take oh lum
ber, sailed up the harbor' and docked
herself at Sea Haven wharf, having
crossed in from the ocean without assis
tance, despite the prevailing storm.
