YELLOW PINE MEN MEET.
Seventh Annual Meeting of Lumber Man
uVavturer»’ Association.
The seventh , annual . meeting ..... of the
Southern Lumber Manufacturers As
sociation, or yellow pine men, was
called to order at Memphis, Tenn., by
President J. J. White, of McComb
City, Miss. There was a larger at¬
tendance than at any preceding meet
ing.
In his annual address the president
dwelt upon the pleasing fact that, not
a member of the association had failed,
despite the adverse business conditions
prevailing the past year. He urged
the necessity of action calculated to
stop ruinous prices and especially com
mended the adoption of a resolution
urging upon congress a duty of at
least $2 on rough lumber imported
from Canada. He also cordially
mended the clearing house project for
the association.
The secretary’s report declared the
grading rules adopted two years ago
eminently wise and beneficial; like
wise the clearing honse experiment
ordered by a special meeting last No
vember.

John E. Parsons also declined to
make any statement, saying it would
be contempt for him to do so.

effect at the Eisendrath tannery a
strike occurred at once.

NEBRASKA EX-TREASURER SHORT

., .
The rpi immediate effect of the special
alleged heavy shortages in the offices
of ex-Treasurer Bartley and ex- Auditor
Moore.
One report went so far as to say
that a warrant had been issued for the
arrest of ex-Auditor Moore,
in fii s message Governor Holcomb
pointed out that over half a million
dollars yet, remains to be accounted
for by the ex-treasurer. In a subse
that quent statement Mr. Bartley admits
the figures of the governor are
nearly correct, but says the delay in
turning over the money is the result
of an agreement with the present
treasurer in effecting a settlement.
The shortage of ex-Auditor Moore,
which is acknowledged, amounts to
6omething Uke $25,000. Mr. Moore
ftnd his bondsmen have been pressed
for payment for several days and legal
action may soon be taken.
MURDERED RY INDIANS.
The Bodies of Six Persons Found on a
North Dakota Itauehe.
The bodies of Rev. Thomas Spicer
and wife, their daughter Mrs.Wil
liam Rouse, with her one-year twin
boys, and Mrs. Waldron, mother of
Postmaster Waldron, were found on
the Spicer plantation near Winona,
N. D., Thursday,
All were horribly mutilated and the
tragedy is supposed to be the work of
Standing Rock Indians. The bodies
were found scattered all over the ranch
indicating that the victims had fled
from their assassins,
The condition of the bodies leads to
the belief that the work was done by
Indians and the suspicion is strength
ened by the fact that one Indian was
seen near the ranch shortly before the
massacre.
WILSON SIGNIFIES ACCEPTANCE.
Postmaster General Will be President of a
Virginia University.
A Washington special says: Post¬
master General Wilson Thursday after¬
noon announced that he had accepted

Lee University at Lexington, Ya.
The formal tender was made to him
a week ago at a meeting of the board
of trustees. The board fixed July 1
as the date on which the new presi
dent assumes charge.

general deficiency bill reported to the
house Thursday morning carries an
appropriation of $5,000 for the widow
of the late Charles F. Crisp. Two
thousand dollars each is appropriated
for Thomas E. Watson and J. 0. C.

HE MEETS WITH REPULSE IN
EXECUTIVE SESSION.

Made a Contest.
_____
Immediately after the senate wept
into ‘'^cutive session Thursday, Sen
ator Sherman, of Ohio, sought to call
up the general treaty of arbitration
with Great Britain, but he met with a
repulse at the outset. A motion was
made that business on the calendar lie
proceeded with, the argument being
that there were a number of important
nominations, particularly of a judicial
character, that ought to be acted
upon. The yeas and nays were de¬
manded and those favoring the con¬
sideration of the nomination won.
The nomination of William H. Hun¬
ger, of Nebraska, to be district judge
for the district of Nebraska, w r as con
firmed without opposition. The noifi
ination of Charles F. Amidon to be
district judge for the district of Nofith.
Dakota, was then called up. The de
bate on this case lasted for more than
three hours. The senate evidently
looked upon the antagonism to Mr.
Amidon in the light of political oppo
sitiononly and by the decisive vote
ol do to 14 confirmed the nomination.
By a further vote of 32 to 27 the senate
decided at 5:30 to take up the arbiter
tion treaty and the debate on that con
veution began when Mr. Nelson, of
Minnesota, took the floor for the pur
poseof moving the postponement of the
further consideration of the treaty un¬
til March 5th. A long debate ensued.
It was nearing 7 o’clock—Mr. Sher¬
man saw that it was impossible to
keep a quorum present; he therefore
gave notice that immediately after the
routine business of Friday he should
move an executive session, at which he
hoped the treaty would be disposed of.
In the contested case of Hopkins,
republican, vs. Kendall,democrat,from
the tenth Kentucky district, the house
Thursday, for the first time this ses¬
sion,on a direct issue of fact, reversed
the decision of its committee on elec
tionsand seated a contestant whom the
committee had declared not ejected.
The vote was 197 to 91.
The senate Wednesday agreed to a
resolution asking information regard¬
ing correspondence with Great Britain
on the seal question and directing a
suspension of the grant of special priv
lieges in the Yellowstone Park canyon.
Mr. Allen, (Pop.) Nebraska, then at
tacked the civil service system, allog
ing dismissals of men and women in
the postoffice at South Omaha, Neb.,
for having supported Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Lodge called up and champion
ed the conference report on the immi¬
gration bill. Messrs. Palmer and Car¬
ter opposing it because of its exclusion
of Canadians. There was a warm de¬
bate between Palmer and Hoar and the
latter was finally driven from the sen
ate to escape the scathing administer¬
ed by the venerable Illinois member.
After a hard fight the senate passed
the bill by a vote of 34 to 31.
The house at Wednesday’s session
refused to agree to a conference re
port, which would have increased the
pension of the widow of Captain J. S.
Payne from $30 to $50 a month. It
agreed to the report on the legislative
appropriation bill and passed a bill to
remove the political disabilities from
Colonel William E. Simms, a congress
man of ante-bellum days.
the senate Tuesday, after passing
several minor bills, including one re
arranging the judicial districts of Ar¬
kansas and a statement from Senator
Sherman that he will urge the arbitra¬
tion treaty Wednesday, to the exclu
sion of all other matters, listened to a
long speech from Senator Chandler
(Rep.), New Hampshire, in favor of
bimetallism and of increased coinage
of silver as a cure for the present de
pressed condition of business and in
dustry. There was a somewhat sen¬
sational outbreak when Mr. Chan¬
dler accused Mr. Pettigrew of liav
ing been chosen as a McKinley dele
gate to the St. Louis convention, and
then violating a distinct pledge that he
would support McKinley and the gold
standard. Mr. Pettigrew branded the
statement as unqualifiedly false.
