BATTLING FOR SENATOBS

Kansas Farmers Are Leaving: No Stone Unturned to Defeat John J. Ingalls.. Two More Republicans to Be Ousted from the legislature To-Daj Alliance Candidates . Gossip About the Illinois Situation, , THE KIGIIT AGAINST INGALLS. Farmer Are Determined to Defeat Him, and Will Oast Two of 11U Supporters... Topeka, Kan., Jan. 25. Senator Ingalls "was right when he remarked in his speech, last night, that the battle was on. It was on, and no trace was declared over Sunday. The Farmers' Alliance was bury all. day. None of the members went home, talcing advantage of the Sunday vacation. They were all needed at the caucuses, and tbey were all on hand. Most important action was decided upon to-day. That was the unseating of two Republican representa-, tives, reducing Mr. Ingalls'a forces by that number. The committee on privileges and elections met early this morning to 'consider the two -contested-election' cases, which still remain to be disposed of. . J'hey. were the cases of Keedy, Alliance, against Boyer, Republican, from Lyons county and Maxwell, Alliance, against Rood,' Republican, from Marion county. Boyer was declared elected by seven majority, .and Rood, and Maxwell were tied. The committee remained -in session until noon, vrhen it agreed upon a report. The committee is composed of four Alliance, two Republicans and one Democrat. The majority report declares that the sitting members were elected by fraud and the corruption of voters, and recommends that the contestants be given their seats. Speaker Elder, of the House, wasmformed of the committee's decision. He immediately called a caucus of Alliance members. The caucus was, as usual, secret. It was brief, however. From one of the members it was learned that it had unanimously decided to adopt the majority report of the committee the first thing at to-morrow's session, and seat the contestants in time to give them a vote on the senatorial question the following day. This action will increase the vote of the Alliance in joint bal- ' lot to ninety-four, and will reduce the Republican vote to sixty-four. The Alliance will then have thirty plurality over the Republicans and a majority of twenty-one over all. It will require eighty-three votes injoint ballot to elect. The Alliance members are garrulous enough when they are approached on contemplated legislation, but when it comes to the senatorial question they are as dumb as the sphinx. Tney decline to say anything definite regarding the caucus of last night. They do say, however, that no. agreement was reached. Speaker Elder denies the report that a ballot was taken last night and that W. A. Harris, the stock-raiser, of Leavenworth county, received fifty -one votes. He says no ballot was taken and that the claims of the various candidates only were considered. There will be no further caucus until to-morrow night, when it is expectedanagreement will be reached. The Alliance men are all confident they .will elect an Alliance man on the first ballot to succeed Mr. Ingalls. No one dares predict who he may be. Speaker Elder to-day said that by no possible means could Mr. Ingalls be reelected. Ninety-one members, he said, were honor-bound to vote against Mr, Ingalls, and he had no doubt tfiat the two members to be seated in the places of Republican incumbents would also give their i pledge to the same effect.' It was at last night's caucus '."thai their pledges were given. After the various candidates had pressed their claims it was -decided to defer balloting until Monday, bat a resolution was adopted and signed by all the members, declaring that the subscribers to thedocument would vote to the last against Mr. Ingalls. It seems to be the general opinion that V. A. Harris and John Willetts now. have the lead over the other Alliance candidates. Mr. Harris is an ex-confedetate and served through the war on' General Lee's staff. This fact has prejudiced some eighteen or twenty old soldiers against him, and were it not for that fact it is generally believed he could win the prize bands down. John Willetts's stock was looking up to-day. He is making no canvass for the place, and his boom is a sort of an undercurrent atlair. Tbe other candidates have about held their opponents. All was activity at Mr. Ingalls's headquarters to-day. His friends from all over . the Stato are here volunteer recruits in his service. He bold numerous conferences with them to-day. They say Mr. Ingalls will succeed himself. The Alliance, they say, will be unable to agree upon a candidate and enough votes finally will go to Mr. Ingalls to elect him. Tbe Senator was visible 'to-day to all callers. He would have nothing to say, however, about the senatorial question to reporters. SITUATION IN IT-LINO IS. tnd of the Senatorial Struggle Not In SightThe Three Farmers Will Stand by Streeter. Springfield, 111., Jan. 23. Folly tbreeiourths of the members of the Thirtyseventh General Assembly left the city iast night to spend Sunday at home, and it was not thought that all would get back In time for the joint session to-morrow. But to-day the leaders of both parties express themselves as confident that their full membership will be present. Both the Democratio and Republican steering com mittees have sent telegrams to every ab-' sent member urging h'm to use his utmost efforts to reach the city to-morrow morning; to even sacrifice his personal comfort and his business interests, if necessary, in order that he may be present when tbe joint assembly is called to order at noon. The prospects are that next Saturday will find the senatorial situation . unchanged. At every joint session each party will be present with its full strength. The F. M. B. A. men have expressed their determination to remain firm for : Streeter, and a break in either the Democratio or Republican ranks is not expected. Each party seems full of confidence as to the outcome of the tight. General Palmer to-day expressed himself as "certain that a Senator would be elected before the end of the week." The three F. M. B. A. representatives are to-day as confident as ever. One of them. Mr. Cockrell, expressed himself thus: "Sooner or later a man of our choice will secure the senatorship." Each one of them still asserts that Streeter is "the man of their choice." When asked if they would support Streeter throughout the coming week. Representative Cockrell asserted, "Yes, and throughout the coming month, if necessary. He is the only man, in my estimation, who will receive onr support, if my efforts are worth anything." Representative Moore expressed the same sentiments, saying: "Streeter is our choice from first to last." "Yes, I am for Streeter," said Herman Taubeneck. "and will make the same answer whenever I am asked about it. Although we have but three votes for him now we hope ere long to have the other one hundred necessary to secure his election." Representative Adams, whose condition yesterday caused his party friends much uneasiness, is much improved to-day. As was reported last night, it was expected that a surgical operation would be necessary to relieve him of the pain and annoyance caused by his eye, which was accidentally injured some time in December, it now turns out that the suffering caused, it was supposed, by the surgeon was simply an acute attack of neuralgia, and the injured eye had but little, it anything, to do with it. No surgical operation has been found necessary, and it is now believed that Mr. Adams will soon fully recover the use of his eye. Mr. Adams to-day talked quite freely regarding his eondition, and also in regard to the supposed pair of himself and Mc Moore, one of the F. M. B. A. Repre- , sentatives, yesterday morning. Said he: "I wanted to pair with Mr. Weedon, a Republican Representative from my district, but the Republican steering committee decidedly refused to allow Mr. Weedon to pair with me. Dr. Moore, one of the F. M. B. A. Representatives, heard of my ' A mui ra anil nmi tt thA mtAATinrr AnmTniti..'. decision, and bo caxno at once to me and

said heartily that no advantage should be taken of my condition, if he could help it. Then he told me that if at any time I was unable to be present at the joint session he and other F. M. B. A. members would 'stand ohY meaning, I suppose, that they woald refuse to vote. Tbe Democrats, of course, understand this agreement, and, in case I am absent, will also refuse to vote, so that no quorum will be found present and voting. The Democratio members," continued Mr. Adams, "have been very anxious about me, and have been very kind tome. Should an operation upon my eye become necessary, they will at once tit up a room for me in tbe Capitol building for my occupancy, and when I am unable myself to go into the House, during tbe iomt session, they will carry me in, so that may respond when my name is called. General Palmer has otlered to do anything in his power for my assistance. Of course, I am very grateful for tbe kind offers of assistance I have received, but I hope that the services of my friends will not be required. I hope and expect to be present at every joint session until we succeed in electing, our standard-bearer to the United States Senate." The Taubeneck investigating committee is preparing its report and will submit the same to the House early in the week, probably on Tuesday. The committee examined every witness Mr. Taubeneck desired it to, and some others -on its own behalf. The evidence obtained was, however, in every instance nearly the same- Somebody bad heard that someone else had told the third party that they heard that Taubeneck had served a term in tbe Columbus (O.) penitentiary for counterfeiting, but they had afterward heard that the story was simply one in circulation about his uncle years ago, and . that there was no truth in it. John R. Tanner testified that Senator Reavill, in speaking to him of Taubeneck, used some such expression as "former inmate of a penitentiary," and Senator Reavill testified that he did not use such an expression. Aside from those two witnesses there .was nothing but hearsay evidence adduced by the examination of a dozen or more persons. Tbe report of the committee will not be much of a vindication of the charges Mr. Taubeneck claims were made against bim. It will recite that "upon examination of witnesses by this committee no evidence was produced showing that the rumors against Taubeneck are true." In brief, that is all the report will contain. But Mr. Taubeneck has declared to the committee that he is satisfied with the evidence produced before tbem. Therefore ,he will probably bo . satisfied with the report, and the same will be adopted by the House and Mr. Taubeneck be thus publicly vindicated. Trying to Defeat Moody. Pierre, S. D., Jan. 25. Considerable speculation has been Indulged in to-day regarding a new torn in the senatorial situation. The fusionists are strongly talking of fixing on either J. W. Harden or Speaker Seward as their choice and letting the ballot determine the strongest to-morrow without a caucus. It is said nearly if 'not all the Democratio and Independent members have agreed to vote for one of those two who show up the greatest vote on joint ballot. Harden is of Democratic pedigree, while Seward has always figured in politics as a free lance. Moody takes his evident defeat, caused by the unseating of the Lawrence county members, coolly, and desires to remain the caucus nominee of the Republicans until he or some other one is named. Senator Pettigrew, who has been here laboring earnestly in Moody's behalf, is said to feel worse over the situation than

Moody. There is still strong talk of the Republican members of the House seceding and organizing a separate body, though the more conservative regard this action as revolutionary. ' . THE CHILIAN REVOLUTION. Views of Admiral La Torre on the Cause of tlie Trouble and Action of the Navy. Paris, Jan. 25. Admiral La Torre, of the Chilian navy, noted as the capturerof the Peruvian iron-clad Uauscar in the war between Chili and Peru, has been sent by President Balmaceda, of Chili, to Europe to supervise the building of war ehips for tb'e country. In an interview to-day Admiral -La .Torre denied that the Chilian navy had been unfairly treated as compared with the army in the distribution of Peruvian war honors. There was no animosity, he said, between the army and navy. The two bodies hardly ever met, and there was small chance of a feeling of jealousy existing between officers of the two branches of the . service. The Admiral did not know why the navy should join the revolutionists in Chili, except that the chivalrous notions of the officers might make tbem readiest to respond to an appeal for revolution. The naval officers, he said, must have acted on a generous impulse. Being far from the immediate center of affairs, they must have been carried away more by the sentiment than by any real knowledge of the situation. Admiral JLaTurre further said if tbe army joined the movement the end of the revolution would only be a matter of a few days. He thought a conllict between the army and navy entirely improbable. The navy, he said, could not easily blockade the whole coast, owing to its great extent, while the admiral of the British fleet would eventually object to the blockade by calling tfie attention of the commander of the blockading lieet to the fact that he must not interfere with the commerce of neutral powers. The condiet between President Balmaceda and tbe Chilian Congress, said Admiral La Torre, might have arisen from a suspicion that the President was trying to influence the publio mind and intrigue in favor of the man whom he wishes to succeed bim in the presidency. President . Balmaceda is also accused of having broken a promise to effect municipal reforms. In addition to this cause of irritation was his action in dissolving the special session of Congress. Admiral La 'lorre believes tbe revolution will be speed ily settled. He is of the opinion that President Balmaceda, as soon as he sees the current of feeling really against him, will withdraw from the presidency. The Admiral does not think any naval . officer. will suffer for having taien part in tbe revolt, as all have acted in a body in response to a summons of Congress. . Late intelligence from Chili says a portion of the troops hitberto faithful to President Balmaceda have joined the revolt rarnll At Waterford. Waterford, Jan. 25. Mr. Parnell to-day addressed in this city the largest meeting that has assembled to hear him during his present campaign. Mr. Parnell said that Hartlepool had declared entirely for him in the recent election, and that it depended upon Irishmen themselves what kind of home rule they obtained. Ho admitted that he was at fault in being too amiable with Gladstone at Hawardeny but he promised that he would not repeat that mistake. He had never known anything to be got out of negotiations with Gladstone- and he was glad they had been broken off. After the meeting Parnell was presented with addresses by the town corporation.

The German Cabinet Oncer's Statement Contradicted by the Agricultural Department. Washington Special to the Chicago Inter Ocean. The statement made in the German Reichstag by Dr. Von Boetticher, the Secretary of the Home Office of the imperial government, that 7 per cent, of American hogs were affected with tricbiniasis while only' one-sixth of 1 per cent, of German hogs were so affected, was brought to the attention of the Department of Agriculture today. In a mild and uiplomatio way it was asserted that the German Home Secretary spoke outside of the truth and without any official data to back, up his assertion. The highest percentage of trichmiasis infection that has erer been found in American pork: by the Tecorded examinations of 'the. German government itself was" 2.5 per cent. The highest percentage found by examinations made by tbe Bureau of Animal Industry was 1.66 per cent; Thi actual percentage of tricbiniasis among the swine brought into Germany is known to be immensely higher than as stated by the Home Secretary. American Frk alone is excluded from Germany.' They ; admit, without inspection, ho?s from Hungary, Bavaria, Poland and other countries where the sya- . ... . .' , : . .10

tern of feeding the animals is so radically different from that pursued in the United Slates that trichinuj caunot be avoided. Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, of the Agricultural Department, stated to-day that there were whole districts of the United States where the tricbiniasis in hogs was wholly un known. He further added that in Amur-; ican pork products exported it was impossible that the trichinae could exist, as the meats were always thoroughly cured and salted, and that process, according to Prof. Yirchow's own testimony, effectually killed; all parasitic life. He said that England, was the only country that received American pork in a comparatively fresh and un-; cured state, "light cured." as it was called, '. and no case of tricbiniasis had been .reported from that -country as tbe refult of 1 tbe introduction of American; pork, even though imperfectly cured, andJ none could possibly arise from pork proper-, ly cured. He quoted from an official report laid before the governments of France andGermany as follows: No authentio case of trichlniais has been clearly established in any European country resulting from, the eating of cured American swine products, as prepared in the export packing-bouses, whether the meat has been eaten raw or cooked. The prominent cases,. of trichiniasis occurring in foreign countries and ascribed to American pork, have in every instance on investigation been ascertained to be tbe result of eating home-killed swine or the products of other countries than the United States. No death from tricbiniasis has ever occnrred'in the United States army or navy, thonsh prepared pork forms part of the daily food in boih branches of the service. No case of trichiniasis has ever been brought under treatment in tbe United States Marine Hospital service. Though the annual consumption of hog products in the United States amounts to over 4,200,000,000 pounds no city or State, in tbe exercise of its police power, has found it necessary to attempt to restrain the use of American pork meats on ' sanitary grounds or for any other reason. Fatal cases of trichiniasis are extremely rare in the United States, and almost invariably occur, among foreign-bdrn residents and from eating uncooked the flesh of improperly fed swine, such as would be immediately rejected if offered for eale to the packing-houses which. kill and cure hogs for the foreign market. It is deemed probable that the statements of the German minister will be made the subject of an in-, qniry by the t State Department through Minister Phelps. WINTERS, PAST AND PRESENT. A Study of History and "Weather Becods Shows No Great Climatic Changes. Harper's Weekly. " ' According to recent dispatches from the old world it is apparent that a winter of unusual severity has bound all England and th coutinent with chains of ice. From John O'Groat's House to Land's End the country is covered with snow and ice. There is skating on the Thames above and ' below Oxford for miles. Above Teddington, where the tidal water ends, the ice is eight inches thick. Belgium; Holland and north Getmany are blocked with ice along their coasts. The Seine is full of ice, and. the Saone is frozen. Along the Rhine snow-drifts seventeen feet in depth are piled in places,' and Bavaria is hidden beneath a mantle of white. Northern Italy, has. been -visited with weather such as tbe present generation has never felt, and railways are blocked with snow at Mantua, Turin and Milan.; Snow has fallen in Spain, and orange groves in Valencia ruined, by. frost. And down in Aluiurs, and for borne distance inland, snow and hail . have wrought havoo ana ruin. Such are the reports that come to us, coupled with tales of distress and misery among the poorer classes.s A winter like this is unusual but not unparalleled. Some faint-hearted people, who have read the claims of the scientists that in some five millions of years the sun will haVe ceased to give forth any heat, are assured in this belief by a winter such as the present. But nothing is so uncertain as the weather, for it is recorded that as far back as 404 A. D. the Pontus Euxmus, or Black sea, was frozen over for twenty days, and the faint-hearted ones will not deny that since then we have experienced several extremely mild winters. From October, 703, until February, 761, the two seas at Constantinoole were frozen for a hundred miles from shore, and on mid-summer day in the year 1035 the fruits in England are said to Lave been destroyed by frost. Ab for the ice-bound Thames, of which so much is said this year, tbe chronicles of 1003 say that for fourteen4 weeks tbe river was frozen. In 1 433-4 again the aame is ' related, and carriages passed over from Lambeth to Westminster in 1515. There were sports and diversions on the Thames during the Christmas season of 1561, and also in 1007; and of December, 1683, to February, 1C84, tbis melancholy account is given: "The forest trees and even the oaks in England split by the frost: most of the hollies were killed; the Thames covered with ice eleven inches thick; and nearly all the birds perished." Like reports have been made olt and again since then, tbe last exceptional winter occurring in 1855. The continent also furnishes parallels of severe winters running back 1,400 years. The Cattegat was entirely frozen over in 1204, and horses aud men passed from Denmark to Sweden over the frozen Baltio in 1400. Four years later it is recorded that the weather wasso severe in Flanders that wine distributed at the time was cut with hatchets. The Rhine, the Scheldt and the sea at Venice were frozen in 1504. Ice covered tbe Hellespont and the Zuyder Zee, as well as all the rivers in Europe, in the year 1622, and Charles X of Sweden conducted his entire army over tbe Little Belt on the ice from Holstein to Denmark in 165S. - Wolves, rendered desperate by the cold in 1691, entered Vienna and attacked men aud cattle; and in the early part of 1849 tbe frosts in Nor-. way were so intense that quicksilver froze,: and persons exposed to the air lost their breath. ' : ... f The records might be continued at pleasure, but the instauces cited go to show that the present reign of cold is not unprecedented. And who for-; gets the March blizzard of 1888, which held the Eastern States in thrall! That venerable being, the "oldest inhabitant," received a death blow at that time.: for such a state of things was never equaled in hfs memory, and if it had been no credence would have been given to any word of his. That blizzard will be a wonderful thing to tell of sixty years from now, And a'plain on varnished statement of tbe Vtorm will canse the coming generation to blush for. their mendacious grandsires, even though history bear out .their statements. The blizzard," however, was short-lived, though ; its effects were lasting, and New York was visited by greater cold in lTbO, when : the bay was entirely frozen, and teams crossed on the ice. In 1821 the bay was again frozen. The mercury congealed in northern Indiana in 1855, and in 181 the thermometer registered zero in Mobile. Ala. To offset these examples of extreme cold, there are numerous records of extremely mild winters, which have followed each other for years, and have been the rule rather than the exception. Scientists will speculate, and seek to prove, their theories regarding the weather by the examples of a dozen or fifty years, and then the winter that follows will completely upset all ideas by a simple repetition of history. Mild winters and severe winters will probably continue as -in years past, and though some decided climatic changes mar be traced to certain altered conditions of landscape and water-courses, the historian will ever continue to add instances of exceptional cold, and scientists will continue to advance new theories regarding causes. The uncertainty of life is a favorite speculation, but the weather can safely be said to be the most uncertain element that enters into existence.

He sure you get the genuine. A Successful Farm. Mr. "Waldo F. Brown, of Ohio, visited Boston last summer, and in writing of hit trip to the Conntry Gentleman says: Whilo my observation of farms and methods along the route might be interesting, 1 wish in this article to speak of a farm fifteen miles from Boston which belongs to an uncle of mine now ninety years old, and who has occupied the same farm for considerably more than half a century. 1 have frequently met farmers who expressed incredulity when told that by good management the cash sales from a 'hundred-acre farm ought to average $1,000 or more per annum, but here, on a stony farm of 150 acres, more than one-third of which could never be cultivated and on which only from twenty to thirty acres is plowed in any one . year, the sales average over 4,000 a year, often reach 0,000 or near that, and this year will exceed 5,000. These results are attained by tbe application of business principles to fanning, maintaining the fertility of tbe soil, adapting crops to the market, and skill in selling tbem. Not a little of tbe ttuccesa attained is due to the last-mentioDed fact. The principal sources of iucome on this farm are milk, cabbages, potatoes, sweet ,corn and other vegetables. Twenty-livo 'cows were kept. The sales of milk a vera ire about $80 per cow, or -0O0 a year. This season they have seven acres of cabbages, which will bring over J0U per acre, and the remainder of the 5,0u0 will be made up from potatoes, sweet com, si cashes, tomatoes, etc. In some years there is quite a large surplus of hay to sell. In addition to the cows, the only stock kept is live horses, and tbe waste of tbe marketing is fod to the cows. In addition to tbe mauuro saved from the stock, about S00 is paid yearly for manure and commercial fertilizers. The other heavy items of expense are SS00 for grain to feed and about S00 fur labor. The improvements on this farm are excellent, and have all been paid for from the products of the farm. The barn is one hundred feet long, with a stoho basement under tbe entire length of it, aud the house is roomy and convenient. While an exceptionally, good market has been one important fact in tbe success attained on this farm. 1 believe that the application of the same business principles to farming almost anywhere will ive fair success. There is too much following in ruts in farming, and too little adaptation ot crops to the farm and the market. Now, every farm is better adapted to some prod nets than others, and a large part of the failure and discontent among farmers come froinwantof adaptation of men and means to circumstances aud surroundings. In other words, there is more iu the man than in tbe land or location; which means about the same as saying success on the farm depends more on the head than on the hands. Ammonia applied twb or three times to a fresh cold sore will kill it. It will a rive it away if used when the cold-sore is first telt
