There Is a case pending h fore the dla-
trlrt court at Mount 1'lrajo.n. Iowa,
which grew out of what was practically
a campaign lt made during the Hayes
Tllden contest. In OcIoIht. lv7i. Job
Codner sold a horse to W. II. Xugen,
giving a not" which was r-cord.-d us
follows: "When Hayes and Wheeler Is
elected president of the I'nlted Stst.s 1
proml to pay Job Oodner i"5 for value
received."
Notwithstanding the fact that Have
w-as doolared by the commisMon to have
been duly elected, Nugent claimed that
the matter was still In dispute, and he
refuked lo pay the note or return the
horse. Oodner brought suit before a
Justice of the ptce, and. on default,
secured a Judgment for the face value
ot the note, with Interest until paid,
but Nugent appealed to the district
court, where the rase was dismissed.
Oodner then brought a new suit for the
calue of the horse, and that case Is still
pending, the title being "Hannah R.
slnrr. administratrix of the relate of
Job. Oodner, agt. W. II. Nugent."
Tho horse long ago drpartrd this life.
The original plaintiff Is dead, and neither
of the law !rm originally retained is in
existence. Hut the case Is still on the
docket, and the clerk of the court com

for their new carnation, the Murello.
offering JlO.tkW for lOO.uOO plants, and the
exclusive right to propagate and sell for
a single aeaeon.
The new carnation waa grown from
seed planted Ave years ago and has
shown no signs of deteriorating. It Is
bright red In color, often excedea four
Inches across the top. and Is very fra

vating It chiefly for the blossom, and
are unable to supply the requisite number
of plants In time to be Included In the
spring catalogues.
Negotiations have been suspended until
xt fall. The only sole right the grower
rould give would Pe for a slnple season,
for as soon as uny of the plants fall Into
the hands of the florists they will b?
propagated hy cuttings, and will soon be
public property.
Thoy cannot he covered by copy right or

price paid for any other variety, and

Washington. March K.-The conferee,
of th two houses on the Cuban resolu
tions held a meeting today, but again
adjourned without reaching a conclusion.
They, however, went far enough to Jus
tify the belief that another session, which
will be held tomorrow-, will conclude the
conference. The Indications favor the
i--"lon of the house from Its position
and the acceptance of the senate resolu
tions. The difficulties of getting any legisla
tion which la apposed, aa the Cuban reso
lutions are, through the annate under
the present rules, are well undrstood by
ths conferees, and the conviction Is grad
ually forcing Itself upon them that the
safest course la to puraue a course which
will not require any further action by
the senate. The house member of the
conference ar loth to give up their reso
lutions, but it Is understood they will
do so If It Is made necessary to secure
the concurrence of the two bodies. Sen
ator Cameron's contribution to the sen
ate resolution, that the friendly offices
of the I'nlted Stare should be offered
by the president to the Spanish govern
ment for the recognition of the Ind
pendence of Cuba. Is antagonlxed by the
house confere:, one of whom said It
would lie equally diplomatic and proper
to offer the friendly office to Grat
Hrltaln for the attalnnv-nt of Canada
Independence. On the other hand, the
clause in the house resolutions, looking
to Intervention to protect the interests
of the I'nlted1 States. Is opposed by the
senatorial aide of the conference. Con
cerning the expression of sympathy with
the Inaurgenta and the recommendation
that the I'nlted States should accord
them belligerent rights, there was no
great controversy of personal opinions.
In case the senate resolution are ac
enpf d by the ronferenc. the question will
again be thrown into the house and lu
all probability more debate may be had
In that body, when the confere make
their rerort, and several members ace
preparing pecb. in anticipation of the
opportunity. Cuba's most anient parti
sans on the foreign affaire committee
think the matter of words Is of small
Importance, and that congrees should
present a solid front to the other nations
In the matter.
NAVAL BILL.
Washington. March Z The house to
day took up the naval appropriation bill
and made such rapid progress that when
adjournment was reached all the para
graphs had been passed save those re

bill carries Ml. -11. Mi. or ii .. more
than the current laws, and author!'
four new tiattle ships and fifteen torpedo
boats, the cost of which complete will be

telle and Wheeler continued their alter
cation of yesterday over the record of
the Democrats onthe bill to retire O n.
Grant. The other incident of the day
arose in connection with the attack by
Cannon, chairman of the appropriations
committee, on the naval officers detailed
at the naval observatory.

that while he hud followed a routs.,

In prospect, and that If the Egyptian
troops prove insufflcletit, Indian troops
will be found necessary.
