H U 3 HAT HATS ISO lull The gross earnings of the Northern Pacific railroad for February are re ported at 8509,562, an increase over February last year of $49,477. Loxdoxees learn with astonish ment that Germany proposes to take possession of a territory in eastern Africa, covering an area more than twice the size of Prussia. Says the St. Louis Globe Demo ant: "It is gratifying to know that Schwatka's resignation from the army is due to the fact that the gov ernment would not allow him to car ry on explorations for the benefit of Oregon capitalists." Tin: Union metnlie cartridge com pany, of Bridgeport, Conn., has re ceived an order for 50,000,000 car tridges from the English government, and 100,000,000 from Eussia. These are the largest single orders ever re ceived by any firm in the world. ExciAXit is in universal trouble. Even on her Persian frontier there i3 discontent. A dispatch from Te heran states the insurgent native chiefs of India have already raised the fiery cross and proclaimed in favor of Russia. SL Petersburg newspa pers warn the English government that the malicious designs of Bis marck will cause a rupture between England and Rusin. Tint prean i.f fhe country is rtill discussing the failure or our legisla ture to elect a senator. Many refuse to "believe it and insist that it is a mistake. The thing may encourage immigration. Curious people may come out here to see what kind of a state it is where 52 Republicans in a legislature of 90 members are unable to elect a senator to represent his state in the national capitol. A Wrxs-rpna special says that farmers of the province are in session there. Many accessions are being received to the ranks of the secessionists and annex ationists. Resolutions were passed denouncing Premier Norquay for failing to secure concessions from the dominion government, calling for redistribution of seats and appealing to the country. An uprising is re ally feared. Ox the 5th, President Cleveland sent to the senate the following nom nem nom inateons: Secretary of state, Thomas F. Bayard of Delaware; secretary of the treasury, Daniel Manniug of New York; secretary of War, William E. Endicott of Massachusetts; secretary of the navy, William C. Whitney of Now York; secretary of the interior, L. Q. C. Lamar of Mississippi; postmaster-general, William F. Yilas of Wisconsin; attorney-general, A. H Garland, of Arkansas. Bayard and Lamar are statesmen; the rest of the cabinet have a oplendid record to make. NEW TO-DAY.
