Tur DEATH oF REPRESENTATIVE RANKIN. Representative Rankin, of Wisconsin, who has for a long time been suffering from Bright's dis- ease of the kidneys, died at his residence, 1327 N street, yesterday afternoon, Although his health was seriously impaired while he was a member of the House in the Forty-eighth Con- gress, his constituents re-elected him, Before the Forty-ninth Congress met he was so ill it was thonght he would not live to reach Wash- ington, but with wonderful energy he took the log Journey and appeared one day in the House and took the outh. He was not at the Sapitol more than onve afterwards. He was very popular, both in his western home and among his colleagues in the House. He was fitty-two years old, served in the Union army during the late war and was for eleven years & member of the Wisconsin legislature. Thie body will be taken west tomorrow morning. A con- onal committee under charge of the ser- geant-atarms will escort the remains, Dyin@ at His Post.—Albert Lybrook, of Richmond, Ind., confirmed as consul at Algiers, is dying of consumption at his post. RESIGNATION.— Dorman B. Eaton, clvil service commissioner, has sent to the President a letter tendering his resignation of the office of elvil service commis- sioner to take effct on the 9th day of March next. He says: “My acceptance of the office, as you are well aware, wus accompanied with the declaration that 1 could not consent to hold it longer than my services might be useful in con- nection with the preparation of the annual re- port of the commission, the giving of any infor- mation which Congress might require and the new commissioners in becoming lamiliar with their duties. ‘The political question which seems to have been raised over my nomination and which did not allow an earlier ofter of my. restznation, makes it proper for me to say that when you iominated me you well knew the fact that I was sUll an adberent of the republi- can party, as [ had been from its origin, In every sense that I was a republican when appvinted a commissioner elther by President Grant or by President Arthur.” Persoxat.— Thomas Nast, of New York; A.

Partisanship Barring the Door Against Dakota. * A PROPOSITION TO COMPROMISE BY PASSING ENABLING ACTS FOR WASHINGTON AND MONTANA TERRITORIES AS WELL AS DAKOTA, The bill for the division of Dakota Territory and the admission of the southern portion as a state into the Union, now before the Senate, has become a party question and will pass that body by the republican vote, provided it is pressed in ‘Sis present form. ‘Che democrats count upon beating the bill in the House, and they will do it, too, if the question of the admis- sion of Dakota alone be forced upon them, The democrats claim that they do not base their opposition upon a denial of the right of Dakota, to statehood. They are willing to admit aie, in population, wealtli, eic., the territory is entitled to become & state; but they assert that the ple of Dakota have not complied with the neces- sary legal preliminaries. It is not improbable that a compromise will be proposed in the Sen- ate looking to the admission of Montana, which is a democratic territory, along with Dakota, Senator Voorhees thinks it would be a ood plan to provide for the admission of akota, Montana and Washington Territories, Dakota is repubiican, Montana democratic, and Washington is doubtful, pollen . Senator Voorhees thinks it would be fulr all’ round to admit all three, and then the party which can succeed in carrying Washington, would get the advantage of that movement.’ Such an ar- Tangement would necessitate some delay in investing Dakota with statehood. The plan would be to pass enabling acts for all three ter- ritories, with the view of investing them with statehood at the next session of Congress. Itis ore than probable that the repubileans will object to this delay, and will insist upon push- ing the Dakota bill, Should they do this the House will most probably content itself with simply passing an enabling act for Dakota, ‘The democrats are not Inclined to look compla- cently upon the creation of three new electoral votes for the republican ticket in 1888, ‘While the position is taken by some Con- gressmen that the proper method of procedure Is to pass enabling acts for all three territories and admit them as states, after all the prelimi- haries under these acts shall have been com- plied with, others, representing both political Lacey maintain that there is no occasion for jelay us regards Dakota and Montana, A form of government, ratitied by the people ‘of south Dakota, wus submitted to Congress early in the session, and upon it the territory now asks ad- mission, About two years ago Montana adopted aconstiiution, but 1t was not then presented to Congress. Recently this constitution with the heeessary papers, ect, was regularly forwarded to Washington, sind Senator ‘oorhees has in- troduced a bill for the admission of the ite of Montana in accordance with that constitution. Senator Harrison, chairm: ot the Senate committee on territories, says that the Montana coustitution is all that is required, and that there need be no more delay in granting admis- sion to that territary than In the case of Dakota, Ivis probuble that 60 tar as the Senate Is con- cerned, an arravgement may be made for the Prompt admission of Dakota and Montana, 1n which event no political advan: will accrue to either ly. A bill to author ‘the people ot Washington Territory, to which the handle strip of Idaho 1s to be annexed, to adopt @.constltution and prepare for admission to, Union, has been reported to the Senate, It simply an enabling act, authorizing the people ‘to form for themselves a state focnmens. with the name of the State of Washi ‘The Senate comunittee on territories will very probably consider the Montana bill at ite next meeting.

A Joint resolution from the House of Repre- sentatives was placed before the Senate appro- priating money for the reliet of the Northern Cheyenpe Indians.

Mr, Dawes said the “misspelling was such as to render the intent of Congress doubtful, and the matter went over sos to permit of edrrec- ton, Mr. Ingalls severely animadverted upon the “Ggnorance or carelessness” of the engrossing clerks of “another body,” from which many bills that came before the Senateemanated. In many bills sent by that body to the Senate for Its action, all action had to be suspended and the intent of Congress frustrated by the mis- spelling of the commonest words. He exoner- ated the Senate clerks trom any responsibility for these difficulties, and said he knew of no remedy at the disposul of the Senate except the correcting influence of public opinion. Mr. Saulsbury complimented the engrossing force of the Senate upon its uniform accuracy, and the joint resolution then went over.

A TALK WITH GEN. FORNEY—THE WASHING- TON NAVY YARD AS A PLACE FOR MAKING BIG GUNS, The sub-committee on fortifications of the House appropriations committee is making a thorough study of the question of fortifications and coast defenses. They have an immense amount of literature on the subject and are ¢o- ing over it carefully. The Tilden letter, urging he necessity of coast defenses, will probably not have much weight with the committee, and they are likely to bring in a bill much in line with those that have been passed each year, giving two or three hundred thousand dollars to keep the old fortifications in repair, instead of appropriating seventy-five or a bundred mil- lion, as the army engineers recommend. General Forney, the chairman ot the sub- munittee, expressed the opluton that there ould be no large appropriation for the fortitl- cations this session. ‘e said he did not think there was any necessity for it, The countr: was in no danger; the moral force of fifl million people was a strong defense, It was ‘ot fortifications we needed now; it was guns, ‘There was no use for a fort without ordnanee, We could prevent any hostil ree or fleet from enter! ng any of our rivers; we had gun: that could sink a vessel at a thousand yards, No fleet could get a the Potomac tw take Washington, The only thing, he said, was that they might stand outside the harbor and shell New York, or Boston, or Philadelphia.

HE SAYS THAT THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW SHOULD ‘BE ENFORCED TO THE LETTER. At a recent meeting of the committee on labor of the House of Representatives, state- ments were made that the spirit of the ‘eizht- hour law was being openly violated, ignored, or evaded in certain of the government depart- ments, and Chairman O'Neill was empowered to present to the House a resolution of inquiry, directed to the various Secretaries, asking in di- rect terms whether the law was being enforced by them. Pending the introduction of the reso- lution Mr. O'Neill sought an audience with the President, which was granted Saturday after- noon, and lasted for over an hour, On the se of the eight-hour law the President sal “[ pelieye that the law is asonnd and good one, and that it should be enforced tothe letter, Lhave no information regarding instances of its violation or, evasion, but if such instances are presented to me I will see that the abuse is remedied and the full spirit of the law enforced, which [understand to be to pay men in the government employ for elght hours work daily What is pafd outside of the government em- ploy for a tull day’s work.

There 1s a strong and apparently growing sentiment among western members of Congress in favor of reducing the large Indian reserva- tions to the actual needs of the various tribes, respectively, and attaching the surplus to the public domain, the Indians, of course, to be paid for the lands thus taken from them. While the public domain is steadily diminishing the demand of settlers for homesteads is rapidl. increasing. It is contended that the demani for homes is too great to rmit hundreds of thousands of acres of valuable lands to remain idle and unused in the hands of Indians. “There 1s no sense,” said ex-Secretary Toller, “in permitting each Indian of a tribe to hold three or four thousand acres, nearly all of which is utterly valueless to him. There is no longer any game for the Indians to hunt, hence those vast tracts are of no value to them.” ‘A bill providing for the allotment of Indian Jands upon gome equitable plan, soas to give to each all that he may need forfarming and graz- ing purposes, hase of the mainder duced in ‘Reported for Tux EvENine Stan ‘THE Wiwows’ Hox Repatrs.—The initia- tive towards a festival in aid of the Alexandria infirmary has been taken, The infirmary suc- ceeds to the orphan ‘lum, which was long in rik a gaat i phole of th mand part of the ot he aD Pg eee iderable: it ean be used, and the iat be held to raise ‘a fund for these Te- rs.

Plan of Her Proposed Campaign Against the Turks—English Opinion. Special Cable Dispatch to THe EVENING STAR. Lonpon, Jan, 25.—The reply of the Greek government to Lord Sulisbury's note, as Tanti- clpated, was a polite but absolutely firm refusal toalter her course of action, expressing great regret, and saying Greece has only been too anxious for peace so long as the treaties re- mained inviolable. All parties in Greece are now unanimous, and nothing but the most vigorous measures by England, for instance, the immediate blockade of the Pirwus, will stop the coming war. I am in a position to state this on the best authority. Greece would begin by seizing all the islands of the Guif of Smyrna, and landing troops behind the Tark- ish force. My informant ridiculed the idea that the Turks could carry the frontier positions de- fended by Greece. le said the Turks were ex- cellent in positions like Pieavna, but were no good at assaults. In conclusion he said: “Let me assure you in the most candid and solemn manner, we are not acting the braggart. We expect to Nght, and if this comes depend upon it We shail fight most desperately.” The Duily News in a leader which, the gossips say, John Morley wrote, speaks of Lord Salisiu: ‘cow. ardly menace to Greece.

Campbell had the best of the fight to the finish, but failed to respond atter the tenth round, when the referee gave the match to Somers. The contest was for $200 aside, with percentages of the © receipts. The decision was rendered in vor of Somers because of Campbell, who had been forced into his corner, being unable to ciear himself from the crowd of spectators and seconds, who rushed around so that the al lowed time for again getting at Somers elapsed before he could come to the center, erat es A Forger Captured in Japan.
