The Souths Bend Daily Tribune, YEAR. what laws bad been repealed. He felt, he said, that de and some of the other senators who were not lawyers, could not intelligently vote on the bill until the question of whether it was new or not had been settled.

BISHOP AND PRIESTS THEY ARE AT VARIANCE IN CUBA Each Side Presents Its Casa to General Brooke -Controversy Grows Out of Severance of the Ties of the Church and State. New York, Jan. -A dispatch to the Tribune from Havana says: The bishop of Havana and the Cuban priests are engaged in a sharp controversy over a document recently promulgated by the priests. This was in substance a manifesto against the bishop tor encouraging Spanish resentment and an appeal to the American authorities to sustain the Cubans. The bishop has sought to present his side of the case to Gen.
Brooke and to discredit the priests. He has cited the pastorals issued by him, counselling acquiescence in the new order and the full acceptance of American authority. The Cuban priests number only 30, but they are aggressive in their attitude and are defiant of the superior ecclesiastical power. The peculiar political conditions make it impossible for the bishop to enforce discipline. The action of the priests part of a general movement to.
destroy abuses which existed when church and state were united under Spanish sovereignty. In some parishes the priests have returned to Spain. The Cubans are demanding that all Spanish priests be removed. Much bitterness is shown on both sides. The subject is not one of which Gen.
Brooke can take cognizance. While the bishop of Havana is an intense Spaniard in sentiment he has not questioned American control. The Cuban priests, on their part, have welcomed it and promised co-operation. The dispute is a matter for the vatican to arrange. It is one of several delicate questions that will confront Archbishop Chapelle when he arrives.
The police authorities have descended on the bookstores which were selling obsence literature. Seven are closed. Among them were two or three leading ones. The proprietors were warned against further continuance of the business. At the camp the military authorities also arrested four venders of vile literature, All were Americans.
They were turned over to the civil authorities who fined them $2 each. Hereafter the military will kick offenders out: of camp. Towns in the interior are sending in I protests against the Spanish bank collecting taxes. The statement is published that if the back taxes are collected the Madrid government will retain the security of deposited by the bank when acting as agent of the government. This Ision the assumption that the taxes up to the end of Spanish sovereignty belong to Spain, The postoffice is threatened with congestion of copper coin.
Under the order fixing the value of money, petnies and two-cent pieces are received to the amount of 12 cents for stamps. These are bought at their face value and sold at their value in Spanish silver measured by American money. This gives a profit of four cents. In consequence copper coins are floating into the postoffice which has no means of relieving itself from the congestion. INSTALLATION IN BUCHANAN.

A minority report, signed by Mr. Lawrence, was submitted recommending the passage of the bill. Mr. O' Bannon, democrat, spoke for his bill. He said that a man who did not favor the measure was not in favor of one dollar being as good as every other dollar.
The republicans, he said, had expressed themselves against any discrimination. He said the statement often heard that there plenty of gold in circulation was false. He doubted it there was $100 in gold the house. He expressed himself as being just as much opposed to making contracts payable in silver as in gold. Mr.
Roose moved to table the minority report. Mr. O'Bannon demanded the yeas and nays. The democrats voted against the motion to table, the republicans for it. The vole was to 34 and the minority port was tabled.

Mr. Strong's bill for a home for governor in Indianapolis, offered in house, proposes that the grounds, buildings and furnishingsshall cost to exceed $100,000. With so many mands on the state treasury coming forward, the general impression seems to be that the bill will not be passed at this session. The legislature two years ago provided for the ment of the rent of a house for governor.
Business of the Senate. The senate's business is going smoothly. There have been few warm discussions and the sessions so have characterized for agreement of opinion among the ocratic and republican members, even between the two factions. A discussion which arose on account of a misunderstanding over the provisIons of the Barrett law gave promise at the start of becoming warm and teresting. The slight misunderstanding was at last explained away and question was referred to a committee of one, which is composed of Senator Johnson, of Madison.
-Senator Johnson called up his No. 57, concerning the duties of and towns and the manner of making improvements and vof enforcing payment for the cost of such improvements. The bill, according to repealed all conflicting laws, and clared an emergency. Its provisions were the same as what is known as Barrett law. One of them enables sons who have less than a $50 assessment to pay their assessment in 10 nual payments.
Senator Hogate and several members spoke on the question. ing that Senator Johnson's bill was most the same in detail as a bill had been repealed at the last general assembly. Senator Hogate said the bill was new in only three lines those in Senator Johnson's bill in parentheses. The discussion of question WaS animated for a minutes. Senator Burns arose and sald thought that with as many lawyers there were in the senate they ought agree what laws were in force HOTEL FIRE IN CINCINNATI.
Sherwood Rouse Destroyed- -Sensational Escape of Guests. Cincinnati, Jan. A hotel fire with sensational escapes took place between 3 and 4 o'clock this morning. The Sherwood house on the east side of Walnut, above Sixth street, took fire probably from an overheated furnace and in a very briet time the house was so filled with smoke as to endanger the lives of the 60 or more sleeping guests. Many of the guests were members of theatrical companies.
Very soon the upper corridors were filled with shrieking hysterical women in night robes. The male guests had difficulty in restraining the women from jumping from the windows. The firemen were active in carrying out the women and most of them were rescued by the stairway, but several were taken down by the ladders and by the fire escapes. F. H.
Munch, a traveling salesman from New York, was among the last to be rescued. He was found with a wet towel over his face in an unconscious condition, but by the aid of a physician was saved. Several of the half suffocated guests were carried the Hotel Stafford. The entire fire department was called out and the fire subdued before the building was destroyed. The money loss will not exceed fully in- sured.
GEN. EAGAN IS OUT. Eis Career Commissary General of the Army Probably Ended, New York, Jan. dispatch to the Herald from Washington, says: Whatever may be the outcome of the Eagan court martial, it may be confidently stated that Eagan's career as commissary general of the army is ended. His successor, Col.
John F. Weston, has already been selected. Orders have been telegraphed him at New York directing him to report for duty at once to the secretary of war. This means that he is ultimately to take charge of the commissary general's department. He cannot be nominated to the senate to succeed Gen.
Eagan as commissary general until the latter has been dismissed or relegated to the retired list. Col. Weston, who is to be commisary general, is one of the best known officers of the subsistence department. He was the chief commissary officer during the Santiago campaign. He has been in the subsistence department since 1875, having previously the line of the army.
He entered the volunteer service as first lieutenant the Fourth Kentucky cavalry in 1861 and served throughout the rebellion. At its close he was appointed to the regular service. BERRIEN COUNTY INSTITUTE. Some Interesting Papers in Buchanan, Mich. Special to The South Bend Tribune.

SENATORIAL DEADLOCK CONTINUES Fight Bas Become Intensely Partisan and Lines Closely Drawn- The test Narrowed Down to Two Candidates. Charleston. W. Jan. -The senatorial contest to-day has become partisan.
It is no longer factional. Last night Hon. N. B. Scott, United States commissioner of internal revenue, received the republican caucus nomination and the previous night Hon.
J. T. McGraw was made the democratic nominee. The headquarters of other candidates have been abandoned and many are gone. It is conceded now that either Scott or McGraw will succeed Senator Faulknor, with the odds in favor of the former.
The legislature as it now stands. as republican majority of one on joint ballot and that is what makes the situation still one of doubt. Three republican members did not attend the caucus last night. One of them was prevented by sickness and he is for Scott. If any one of the members is sick or absent from any other cause when the legislature ballots for senator next Monday there can be no election.
Scott expects to receive all the republican votes if all are present but the probability of one or more being absent is causing great anxiety. McGraw is depending on some such contingency while his opponent has not a single vote to spare. Meantime there is talk of more "suspensions. a term that is being applied to members who are unseated on contests pending a full hearing of their cases before the committee on elections, when there is not time to hear such cases before the balloting for senator. While the fight has narrowed down to the two party nominees.
it is as bitter as at any time during the past two weeks. TAKEN TO ST. LOUIS, MO. Bishop Rademacher is Placed in Hos pital in That Otto. St.
Louis, Jan. -Rt. Rev. Bishop Rademacher, of the Catholic diocese of Fort Wayne, arrived in St. Louis last night in company with one of his priests, and was placed in the Alexian Brothers' hospital.
The bishop is suffering from mental trouble, due, it is aid, to worry over considerable property, most of it belonging to the church, which has been under his charge. It is said his mind has been failing for some time and his friends advised him to seek rest and medical treatment. The director of the hospital said the physicians hoped that in few months his condition would be greatly improved. Fear of entanglements involving the management and disposition of the diocesan affairs and property, made it necessary that the bishop relinquish his charge. It was not known who had been placed in charge of the diocese.
HORSE PERISHES IN FLAMES. Barn on Liston Street Destroyed by FireFalse Alarm From Notre Dame.

WEST IS STILL FREE BANK ROBBER NOT YET CAUGHT Information Furnished by Cashier Myron Campbell, of the 8-oth Bend National Bank, is Received by the Ufficials in Aroused.
Cincinnati, Jan. is little inside history to the way that George West, alias Simms, and Marvin, the two alleged safe blowers, made their escape from the Chillicothe, 0., jail. It is well known that they sawed their way through! iron bars, but the way in which attention of the Jailer was diverted is said to have leaked out when the officers of this city who captured Simms, Daley and Marvin on Dec. 20 were in Chillicothe last Monday to give their testimony in court. The story related to Lieutenant Kane, Sergeant, Goepper and Offcers Otting and Riley shows that Daley.
who failed to get away on account of his size, is probably the smartest of the trio. Since Daley has been in jail, he has managed to ingratiate himself into the good graces of Jailer Kelly who is a veteran of the civil war. When Daley heard Simms and Marvin at work with their saws he called Jailer Kelly to fix a window near his cell. Then he engaged the jailer in conversation about the war. The story is that Daley hummed "Marching Through Georgia" while Jailer Kelly showed him how the men drilled in the civil war.
Daley laughed as loud as he could at Kelly, and this pleased the old jailer. When the war story was ended and Kelly had finished drilling Daley told him a couple of alleged funny stories, during which he laughed incessantly. When West. Marvin and Thorn made good their escape Daley ceased "stalling" for his pals, who by that time were probably outside the corporation. Then It is said that Jailer Kelly took a big hammer, after the absence of the prisoners was noticed and threatened to crush Daley's head it he did not tell him where the saws could be found with which the men sawed the iron bars of their cells.
