Senator.
'
Casto.v, 0., Jon. 30. Major McKin-
l M Win a it tn'nrnincr. TT f1 had
lev pnsseu d-
several conferences of importance.
Hon. J. E. Wilson, of Iowa, left at
II :30 for his home. When at the station
be was reticent in his talk, but it was
not very difficult to infer from his talk
that be is more than a cabinet possi
bility, and may accept the agricultural
portfolio.
General Charles' H. Collis, of New
vnrt. had n conference with Major Me
Kinley this morning. When asked if
any talk had been made regarding caw
net matters, General Collis declined to
answer. He left with Senator Brown,
of Utah, for the East this afternoon.
Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff and
wife, of New York, who came here to
call on Maior McKinley. left tbiB even
ing for Cleveland, where Mr. Woodruff
exnect9 to see chairman Hanna. lo the
Associated Press reporter, Mr. Woodruff
s&id he had come to talk over the Jiew
York situation, and particularly to rec
ommend General Woodford for the navy
portfolio. Nothing of a definite nature

Ex-Senator Saunders, of Helena,
Mont., also called on the president
elect. ALMOST ELKCTBU.
Thatcher Lacked but Three Votes of
Being Chosen Senator.
Salt Lake, Jan. 30. This has been
an exciting day in the senatorial contest.
1'ive ballots were taken, being the forty
second ballot of the joint assembly with
out any choice. The assembly then
took a recess to 3 p. my, and were in
session for an hour . without balloting.
It was believed last night that there
would bo no decided change today, but,
contrary to expectations, Thatcher
started with an increase of five votes on
the first ballot (four of them being
Populists) and gathered strength on
each of the following ballots until he
had a total of twenty-eigbt votes, being
one more than the combined strength
of Henderson and .Rawlins, and within
three yotes of election, as there were
only sixty members voting.
The Tbacber forces kept their strength
compact and defeated several dilatory
motions before the recess was taken. At
that time the opposition was somewhat
disorganized, and it was tbe general
opinion that Thatcher would be elected
m the afternoon.
When the afternoon session was
called to order, the opposition to
Thatcher resorted to filibustering tactics,
to gain time, first claiming that tbe
adjournment was to noon on Monday,
and that tbe proceedings were irregular
and unlawful. Half a dozen motions to
adjourn and appeals from the decision
of the chair were broaght up and TOted
down on roll-calls.
Finally the opposition succeeded in
forcing an adjournment to Monday, due,
partly, it ie thought, to the misappre
hension of some members as to what
tbey were voting for. It is almost cer
tain a ballot this afternoon would hare
elected Thatcher.
All sorts of rumors are afloat tonight
as to what another day will bring forth.
Thatcher's men are making every effort
to hold their strength, while bis oppo
nents claim he has reached the limit,
and other elements will come into the
contest and defeat him Monday. More
than half bis increased strength, todiy
came from Rawlins and Henderson, the
Republicans voting for Mrs. Wells.
TUB KIO GRANDE DAM.

Royal Eakino Powder Co., New York,
report to the capalists who are back of
the enterprise. The report is favorable,
the preliminary work has been finished,
and nil details carefully figured out.
The Atchison railroad has finished a
spur to the dam site, and a shipload of
Portland cement is about to be delivered.
With two possible exceptions, this is to
be tbe largest water-storage reservoir in
the world. It will cost nearly $2,000,000,
and will irrigate 200,000 acres of Rio
Grande valley land between Fort Seldon
and 1 Paso.
Mr. Edgerton had charge of the con
struction ot similar works in India, for
the English government, and when he
returns in April he will bring with him
a corps of engineers, who were engaged
in India with him.
Burned to a Crisp.
New York, Jan. 30. John Connors,
50 years old, met a shocking death on
the steamship East Central pier at At
lantic dock, Brooklyn. The vessel ar
rived last Tuesday from Brazil with her
boilers strained from the effects of a
storm. Connors was sent with others to
make repairs to the interior of one of
the boilers. Before beginning opera
tions the men lowered into tbe boiler a
charcoal furnace with whicb the iron
work was to be heated.
Connors climbed through the man
hole, the only means by which an en
trance to tbe boiler could be gained, and
was lowered to the bottom at 11 o'clock.
When the factory whistle announced
the noon hour one of the workmen
climbed to the top of the boiler and
shouted to Connors. There was no re
ply. A workman was lowered into the
boiler and Connors was found dead.
Tbe upper part of tbe man's body was
burned to a crisp. He had evidently
been overcome by the fumes and had
fallen on the furnace.

Detectlres Are Working- an tbe Case,
bat They Know Little.
Roskbubg, Or., Jan. 30.--Yesterday
the sheriff tracked one of the supposed
train robbers over the hill east of the
railroad into Gosser canyon. The man
bad gone north, evidently holding to the
fence as be went down the hill to the
creek. Tbe tracks then cross tbe creek,

tbey have a slight clue, which they will
not divulge. Several detectives are on
tbe case.
Many people today are fishing for val

Dispatch From Mad i Id
Believed In .
Washington.
Washington, Jan. 30. The Madrid
dispatch announcing the appointment of
Weyler's successor here as absolutely
authentic. A week ago Senor de Lome
communicated to Secretary Olney that
General 'Accarrago had been tendered
this position, but no definite action bad
been taken.
All American citizens now in prison
in Cuba as suspects will, with few ex
ceptions, be given their release some
time during the coming week. This in
formation, it is saiil, has also been con
veyed to the state department by Span-'
ish legation. The whole Competitor
crew, it is understood, is included in tbe
amnesty, and there is a possibility that
General Julio Sanguilly and Louis So
meillan may also be freed.
The state department has for some
time been conducting correspondence
with the Spanish authorities, negotiat
ing for the release of tbe imprisoned
American citizens. Tbe department has
impressed the .act upon the Spanish
government that if it would release tbe
imprisoned Americans, it would go a
long way toward allaying the leeling in
the United States against. Spanish rule
in Cuba. State department officials
nave been confident that they could per
suade tbe Spanish government to take
this view of , the situation, and it is said
they have succeeded ut last.
Senor de Lome is confined to his. room
with an attack of grip, and could not be
interviewed on tbe above subjects, but
it is generally understood that Senor
Azcarrago had consented to assume tbe
arduous role of Cuban pacificator, and it
is thought that this policy will greatly
simplify tbe entanglements with this
government.

' Here is a diamond, here a piece of

Nature. The food on your table, and
your own body's elementally the same;
yet between the two stands the digestion,
tbe arbiter of growth or decline, life or
death.
We cannot make a diamond ; we can
not make flesh, blood and bone. No.
But by means of tbe Sbaker Digestive
Cordial we can enable tbe stomach to
digest food which would otherwise fer
ment and poison the system. In all
forms of dyspepsia and incipient con
sumption, with weakness, loss of flesh,
thin blood, nervons prostration the Cor
dial is the successful remedy. Taken
with food it relieves at once. It nour
ishes, and assists nature to nourish. A

Laxol is tbe best medicine for chil
