Special Dispatch to Tax Evaxtxc Stan. Cotvmsvs, Onto, Oct. 28.—With but one week more before them, the party managers have but little time to themselves, Both com- mittees are nerved to the highest tension, and every move is carefully considered before being executed. Each chairman fully recog- nizes the fact that a blunder at this time would prove fatal and the greatest care is shown in every move. The democratic committee hold frequent conferences with the leading candi- dates and yesterday were feeling very confident of carrying Mr. Campbell into the gubernato- rial office, HOPEFUL DEMOCRATS, Hon. William V. Marquis, the democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, and Hon. Jobn H. Thomas of Springfield, who, by the way, has a very strong desire to succeed Henry B. ne, were in consultation with the man- agers on Saturday night. They were fresh from Mr. Campbell's big meeting in Circleville and quite as enthusiastic and hopeful of party success as they could be. Mr. Marquis ex- pressed a firm belief in the entire success of the state and legislative ticket, and placed eat store in the aeny semees being one of e (peg factors in landing the democracy safely om the other shore. Mr. Thomas, with « hankering for senatorial honors, laid great stress upon the election boards that were ap- pointed by the governor as being undemocratic, and believed they would be condemned by the people. THE ELECTION BOARD CONTROVERSY. It might be added in this connection that Mr. Campbell commenced the campaign by de- nouucing the election boards, which are non- partisan. Strong evidence was given that the peopie are in favor of them by alarge majgity, and Mr, Campbell learned early in the cohtest that it was prudent to make the fight on another issue. Mr. ‘Thomas thinks the mayor of each city should have the power of appointing the boards. In this respect he agrees with Gov. Foraker, who, when the law was passed, sug- gested that the mayors appoint them, as he wouldrather not be held responsible, but the law was passed directing the governor to make the appointments, which he proceeded to do upon the recommendation of representative citizens ot both poth parties im each city. A DEMOCRATIC EDITOR'S VIEWS. Editor Doren of the Dayton Democrat says that he hardly expects the democracy to carry the legislature. He expresses the hope that whichever party does capture it they may do so without the aid of Hamilton county. which, when it holds the balance of power, is always agitating the whisky question or Sunday laws, Mr. Doren believes that the democrats will elect a portion of their legislative ticket in Hamiltor county, but adds: ‘It will require the whole of it to give us the legislature.” “Do you predict the election of your candi- date, Mr. Campbell?” “That depends. In the event of a light vote the advantage would be on our side, but if the republicans get stirred up clear irom the bot- tom the result will be the same that it usually is under such circumstauces—the republicans will carry the state. Is should be borne in mind, however, that it sometimes requires o very long stick to bring the republicans up from the bottom. if the republican mana- gers can get their party vote out I would not consider the result at ail uncertain, as upon a full vote Obio is republican by not less than 20,000.” A BIG REGISTRATION IN COLUMBUS. The registration in Columbus is very full and will equal that of last year, when a President was elected. There have been registered here 20,152 names. Assuming that 140 voters were absent and who may register upon affidavit during the week the registration will be the same as last year. This is unusual, as the re- ublicans are generally lukewarm the year fol- iowing a presidential election. ponsnhes ma GOV. FORAKER NOT sO WELL. But He May Attend a Meeting Next Saturday. Special Dispatch to Taz Evexrxo Star, Corumars, Onto, Oct. 28.—Gov. Foraker is not so well today and his physician has refused to allow him to leave the house. On Saturday the governor was feeling so much better that he announced his determination to keep his appointments during the week, commencing tomorrow. Itis barely possible that the gov- ernor may be able to be ut the big meeting on Saturday next, but this will probably end his work in the campaign. ————_— THE WHITE HORSE. Though Mute He Tells a Tale Against the Man Who Had Him. Cxicaco, Oct. 28.—At the opening of the Cronin trial this morning the state called for Mr. Cronin, the brother of Dr. Cronin, but that gentleman was not in the room at that time, and Napier Moreland, an employe of Patrick Dinan. the livery man, was called instead. He testified to the hiring of the white horse on the evening of the 4th of May, when Dr. Cronin was killed. His evidence did not differ materially from that given by Dinan himself on Saturday, either ‘as to the taking out of the horse or his descrip- tion of the man. A new point was reached, however, when he described the condition of the horse when returned to the stable about half-past 9 o'clock that night, after having been outa little over two hours, ‘The witness said: "He was in the condition of a horse that had been driven very fast for the length of time that he was out. He was sweat- ing all over. His nostrils were blowing at the time be came in. ‘fhe buggy was covered with sand and boulevard mud. ‘MRS. CONKLIN’S TESTIMONY. Mrs, Conklin, at whose house Dr. Cronin last lived, was the next witness. After numerous questions as to the location of the rooms in the flat, Mrs. Conklin proceeded to tell the story of how the doctor was called away from her house on the night of May 4. She said that at 7:20 vm. a stranger who seemed nervous and ex- Pited rang the door bell, and when she opened the door inquired for Dr. Cronin. “He seemed very reluctant to enter, but finally did so when told the doctor was engaged with other patients.” . ” “The stranger then took a seat in the waiting room. When Dr. Cronin came out of his office the man advanced and said: ‘Dr. Cronin, you are wanted to Greoapes man who has been hurt t O'Sullivan’s ice office. si the doctor made a remark which I did not hear. Atthat moment the man drew a card from his pocket and presented it to the doctor.’ “Dr. Cronin took the card and said: ‘Oh, yes. What is the nature of the accident.’ “He said: ‘A man bas been run over by a on." wv Sthe doctor said: “ Polar with you soon,’ or something to that effect. rhe wan eat down againon the edge of a chair and the doctor turned, laying the card on the mantelpiece. “The man said O'Sullivan was out of town aud left word that Dr. Cronin was to attend peas A SENSATIONAL MEETING.

New Yora, Oct. 28.—There was an active business in the stock market at the opening this morning, though it was principally due to the interest in a few of the leading stocks, among which Lake Shore, Union Pacific, Read- ing, ‘kawanna and Denver, Texus and Fort Worth were most prominent. The heaviness of Saturday lasted over until this morning, and first prices were quite irregular as compared with Saturday's final figures, but the strong undertone of the market soon came to the surface and prices advanced all around the room. the first tendency of prices was downward, however, and the stocks were quite weak, both Reading and Lackawauna retiring }¢ per cent befor vancing. The trusts also showed considerable weakness, though their movements were small and unimportant. ‘The upward movement was confined to small proportions and fractional advances of from { to % per cent were estab- lished in the general list, while Manhattan, with a gain of 14g per cent to 106!4, and Mich- igan Central with 144 to 96, were the strong features of the hour. Tennessee coal rose %. Prices again Weakened toward the end of the hour and at 11 o'clock the market was rather heavy generally, at insignificant changes from the opening prices. ————— KINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The New York Stock Market.

BROOKS NOT BELLE BROWN. And the Latter’s Mysterious Disappear- ance is a Profounder Mystery Than Ever The whereabouts of Belle Brown is as great a mystery as ever, The missing girl's father, when seen bya Srar reporter today, stated that he had heard nothing from Norfolk later than the dispatches in Saturday's Stan, “I ave heard it rumored,” continued Mr. Brown, “that there isastory being circulated that I am aware where my daughter is, but am keep- ing the news from the public. I wish it were so. Ihave no secrets from the public. I wish the brightest light possible to be thrown on this matter, as by that means her recovery is rendered more possible.” “WE HAVE FOUND B.

Senator Barbour Denies Roports That He is Discouraged. ‘HIS RECENT TRIP TO NEW YORE—HE 18 CONFI- DENT OF DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS—MR, MANOXE AND JUDGE WADDELL Ix THE CITE TopAI— EX-SEXATOR LEWis’ ViEws. A Washington dispatch to the New York Herald says: The gossip about the hotels to- night regarding the Virginia campaign is ate fever heat over the announcement that Chair- man Barbour of the democratic committee has returned from New York very much disheart- ened. The story goes that he made applica- tion to Chairman Brice for financial aid and was met with the reply that it was out of the ques- tion for the national democratic committee to extend him any aid whatever. Chairman Brice informed Senator Barbour that the committee was now over $100,000 in debt, and he saw no way of ever paying that indebtedness, much Jess increasing it by making new debts, Senator Barbour afterward called upon ex- President Cleveland, ex-Secretary Whitney and otuer prominent democrats in New York and asked their aid in carrying the state, which he said would be lost to the dem: unless they had money at once. The New Yori Politicians told Senaior Barbour that they had » campaign of their own on hand next month that would re- quire ail the means at their command. It is stated here that Chairman Barbour has given up all hope of carrying the state and has so aunouneed to several of his friends tonight. ‘The drift of popular feeling on the result of the Virginia election is shown by the fact that three bets were made in the Riggs house last night of $1,000 to $800 that Mahone would carry the stute, One of the cleverest politicians in the country said to me on Friday last: “Take every bet the democrats offer you on nope Mahone is a sure winner, I know what I an talking about. Mahone bus all the money he needs. ‘The de- fection from his ranks will not exceed 2,500, and it may fall below that figure. Mahone will be able to buy, if needed, ten thousand white democratic voies, The votesare for sale. The democrats know this quite as well as Mahone does. ‘They are frightened becanse they can’t get the money to keep their people in line, ‘the state is un uncertain one at the best. Cleveland carried it last year by a narrow mar- gin of only 1,200 votes, But for the republican split in the Petersburg district Harrison would huve captured the electoral vote of the state by a majority of at least three thousand,” One ot the most peculiar facts of the cam- puign was the announcement in the press dis- patches that the totai increase in the registra- filteen to twenty thousand. Republicans here vote of the state there should have been no in- crease whatever from that source, A TALK WITH MR. BARBOUR, Arepresentative of Tue Stan found Mr. Barbour in the city this morning and asked him about the report telegraphed to the Her- aid concerning his visit to New York. “There is not a word of truth in it,” said the Senator. “I was in New York, but’ only saw Mr. Brice a few moments, both he and myself being ina hurry. The campaign in Virginia was inerely mentioned casually and nothing whatever was said as to funds, That is the only foundation whatever for such @ report, The Virginia democrats are taking care of themselves in that line.” “What have you to say about the state of the campaign in Virginia?” asked the reporter, “Lhe democratic outlook was never brighter and the state of the campaign was never in better condition at this part of the canvass than it is now.” “slow about the reported gains in southwest Virginia among the white voters?” asked the re- porter, Our information leads us to an entirely dif- ferent conclusion, Of course the Mahoncites are making desperate efforts out there, but the democrats are working as never befo! have little to fear. The fierce the Mahone people on that in some respects, a feint and some very quiet but ‘intensely active work is being done in other directions, in some of the counties that have large democratic ma- joritics for instance, but we are up to all that und won't be found asleep on the 5th of No- vember.” eae are pretty sure of carrying the state, then?” “Ihaven't the least doubt about it,” said Mr. Barbour, emphatically, “and by a large majority, and ali this stuff about our being dis- couraged is folderol. There is not a single doubt about the result if the democrats will come out and vote, and it appears to me that they are more aroused in this election than for many preceding ones,” “SENATOR LEWIS’ PREDICTION. Ex-Senator John F, Lewis of Virginia is in the city, and when asked about his views on politics in that state said to a Stan reporter that Mahone would be defeated by 30,000 to 50,000, “helped to organize the original republi- | can party in Virginia, have always voted the | straight republican ticket in county, state and national elections, and now for the first time in my life [ shall scratch a ticket and that will be the name of Mahone from the alleged republi- can ticket, Mahone is as much a republican as J am a democrat and I am as much a democrat as he is a republican.” GEN, MAHONE IN THE CITY.

They were and Assistant Postmaster al Clarkson, with whom they had a short reuce. Several of Mahone’s licutenants have been here during the past week trying to st the administration to do something more to “hold up the hands” of their candidate, and mission, eee ees HOW ELECTIONS WERE CARRIED. Two “‘Workers” Make Statements at a Baltimore Meeting. Some interesting statements were made by two men claiming to be ‘democratic peelers” at an independent democratic and repubiican fusion meeting in Baltimore Saturday night Wim. J. Horig and Chas. Goodman, two men who represented themselves as ‘‘workers” for the Gorman-Rasin democracy of Maryland, were introduced to a large assemblage at the Concordia opera house by John K. Cowen, the fusion leader, and they made a number of statements about ballot-box stuffers, repeaters, buildozers and other adjuncts of an election, Mr. Horig said that in 1875 a majority of 8,000 for Warticld was overcome and Latrobe made mayor of Baltimore. He suid that the contest | between John L. Carroll and L, M. Harris was a farce from beginning to end. He said that in 1587 Arthur P. Gorman sent Eugene Higgins into Howard county to defeat a man named Adams, and that $24 head was to be puid for votes. He also quoted W. J. bhur, president of the locai civil service board, for the statement that Collector Groome tried to use iniluence upon the board in the interest of bos friends, Charles Goodman then told his story. He contessed himself a reveater, a ballot-box stutter and bulldozer, He told of his going to Elkridge Landing with forty armed men to | carry the county for Gorman, fe said it was a dangerous undertaking, as the sheriff was understood to be a man who would not stand titling. He was told that there would be two lines of negroes at the polls, and he mustbreak them up atall hazards. He and his men suc- ceeded in driving the negroes off before they voted. He associated a man named “Clum” Isaacs, now in one of the auditors’ offices in the Treasury, with this job. Isaacs, he said, tried to induce him to give up the job. Speaking of the Baltimore elections he said: “The ring carries this town by repeaters from New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington aud Wash- ington, ‘They are brought here by Frank Stevenson, who keeps a saloon on Bleecker street, New York; George Mantz of Washing- ton and Johnny Newton of Wilmington. I have used them on two occasions to beat my friend Bankard, when he was running for council.” He suid also that Burke, the bank robber, bad not escaped from the prison, but that his re- lease had been purchased.

S THE OLD DOMINION CIRCULAR. The circular was dated September 27, 1889, and read as follows: “‘As a citizen of Virginia you are, of course, interested in the campaign now in progress in our state, which is to determine its future po- litical status. The Old Dominion league was organized to assist in the election of the repub- lican ticket, and fully your co- operation by Fer beset a member and making such further contribution to aid in the campaign as your means will permit.

The commission understand that this circular has been sent to employes of the government at their desks in the department buildings. They consider that this action is in violation of sections 11 and 12 of the civil service law. These sections are as follows: “Sec, 11. That no Senator or Representative or territorial delegate of the Congress, or Sen- ator, lepresentative or delegate-elect, or any officer or employe of either of suid houses, and no executive, judicial, military or naval officer of the United States, and no clerk of mpeg of any department, branch or bureau of the executive, judicial or military or naval service of the United States shall, directly or indirectly, solicit or receive. or be in any manner con- cerned in soliciting or receiving any assess- ment, subscription, or coutribution for any political pur whatever, from any officer, clerk, or employe of the United States or any department, branch, or bureau thereof or from avy person receiving any salary or compensa- tion from moneys auives from the Treasury of rson shall, in any room or the United States. Sec. 12, That no pei b EE'the ‘discharge of oficial | duties by any officer or employe of the United uilding occupied rt States mentioned in this act,orin any navy yard, fort, or arsenal, solicit in any manner whatever, or receive any contribution of money or any other thing of value for any political purpose whatever. The law further provides that persons found guilty of violating these sections shall be sub- fect toa fine not exceeding $5,000 or by im- prisonment for a term not exceeding three c= or by such fine and imprisonment both, the discretion of the court, If it bad happened that the name of no employe of the government had appeared on the circulars, and that they had not been sent into a government building, the issue of sucha circular to government employes at any other aay than in a government building would not ave been in violation of the law. WHAT WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT. The Commissioners are now gathering to- gether additional evidence which they will either bring to the attention of the Secretary of the Interior (as an employe of his depart- ment is an officer in the league) or they will present the matter directly to the District at- torney, The Commissioners consider that it would be an act of official courtesy to present the case to the Secretary of the Interior for his action before taking any further steps. THE ONLY SIMILAR CASE where steps have been taken to prosecute un- der this law is the case of a man named Hudson who was the chief clerk of the post office at Grand Rapids, Mich. Last Fall this case, through the Postmaster General, was placed in the hands of the District attorney. It has not yet come to trial. ‘TWO OFFICIALS ON THE LIST. Another employe of the general land office who is one of the officers of the league is D. J. Godwin, a principal examiner in that office. He holds the position of second vice president, while Mr. Elam, chief of the railroad division, is the first vice president. BOTH SAY THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THE CIRCULAR. Commissioner Groff’s attention has been called to this circular by the Secretary of the Interior, and he asked these officials to make an explanation of their connection with it. They have complied with this re- quest and their statements are now before Secretary Noble. ‘They both deny having any knowledge of the ‘issue of such a circular, and state that they would not have given their consent to its being sent out if they had been consulted. The first information tuey received that such a circular had been isstied was obtained from the newspapers. Mr. Godwin, in talking with a Srar reporter today, reiterated this statement and disclaimed having taken any part in the proceedings of the meetings of the league where this matter was discussed. He said that he was not aware that such a thing was proposed, “My name was placed on the list of officers as a matter of form,” he said. ‘I have only attended two of the meetings of the league and have realiy takon no part in their worl.” Mr. Godwin showed a letter which he had received from C. A. Newton, the president of the league. in which he says: “I state mow? positively that you not only had nothing to do with the circular but did not know of ics exist- ence, never having been to our meetings but upon two occasions.” Itis stated that the circular was issued by the president aud secretary upon their own au- thority. A SIMILAR CIRCULAR TO OHIO REPUBLICANS. It was said that other republican associations in this city have invited political contributions in the same way as was done by the Virginia league. Mr. J. M. McGrew told a Star repor- ter today that he had sent out circulars to ail Ouro republicans living in this city. Nr. McGrew is the president of the Ohio republican associ- ation and he said that in the circular sent out by him he suggested the propriety and duty of republicans contributing toward the expenses of the Ohio campaign, The circular, he said, had the heading, “Ohio republican associa- tion,” and his name was at the end, but not with the title of the association. No other names, Mr. McGrew said, were on the circulars which were sent to the residences of the persons addreesed, In some instances, he said, when the home address could not be found the circular was directed to the govern- ment department where the person was em- ployed. | A RATHER LATE DISCOVERY. Mr. Grosevenor, who was formerly in the Treasury departmentand who happened to be in Mr. McGrew’s offie@when Tur Stax reporter culled, overheard the conversation. He said that the civil service commission ought to have discovered this law during the last national campaign, when the democratic national com- iittee sent circulars broadcast throughout the department. He received one addressed to him atthe Treasury department, although at that ti as it happened, he had been “bounced out” by the democrats, as A Backslider Locked Up. James Richardson, a convert of the Central Union mission, was behind the bars in the drst police station Saturday night. Whisky was the cause of his trouble. His wife called to see im yesterday and spent some time about the sation shedding tears for her husband, who was.under lock and key. Finally, two mem- bers of a Baptist church put up collateral for the “‘backslider” and he was released. In the Police court this a the money was con- fiscated and turned into the District treasury. Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to W. T. Southard of Stafford co., Va, and Ella 8. Wilson; Richard Hawkins and Mary E. Scott; Francis H. Allen of Black River Falla, Wis., and Henrietta Stedman of Jackson county, Va.; W. C, Vennor and Mary E. Brand; Bert Williams and E. Johnson; Wm.

Raum, the commissioner of pensions, spent some time today at the surgeon general's office, where Dr. Ainsworth and his corps of clerks have charge of the records of the late war. While this is not a division of the pen- sion office yet it has a very important func- aon in the transaction of the business of that Officer. From the records are obtained the military career of the applicant for a pension and before @ case can be properly adjndiated & report must be received from the surgeon general's office. The commissioner, in pur- suance of his policy to make himself familiar with the workings of the pension office, made today a thorough inspection of this branch of the surgeon general's office. He intends in the same way to visit the various divisions of the office, SECRETARY NOBLE'S LETTER TO COL. SMITH. The main topic of discussion at the pension Office today was the letter of Secretary Noble to Col. J. E. Smith, who until recent chief of the certificate division. Under October 21 the Secretary writes: “Your letter of the i0th instant was duly received. Daniel E. Sickles has called upon me in regard to the same mat- ter. As I told him 1 now teil you, I have mo charge te make against your military record or your moral character. I deem it to be the best interest of the seryice that men who bad been rerated in the bureau should not continue there to exercise their in- uence in that direction, either by their pres- ence or their counsel, and that the new com- better opportunit; correct the evils, which I cousidered an now consider as of the grossest charac- ter; and, as I stated to you when you called I would endeavor to inform you upon what principles I intended to run this department, I now state to you that this is one of them. I think two things may be put down as fixed, viz., that reratings will be allowed only where there is previous obvious mistake, and that the application will be heard only in its due order, and not upon a prefer- ence obtained by official position or otherwise. An increase of pension can be easily obtained | upon proper proof.” ARE ALL RERATED EMPLOYES TO BE REMOVED. The conclusion that is generally reached, | based upon this letter, is that the Secretary in- tends to remove all the rerated employes of the pension oftice. The names of thirty employes whose pensions were rerated were given in the report of the commission and were printed | recently in Tue Stax. It is said. however, | that there are some twelve others whose names | were not included in this list. Some of the employes mentioned huve already been dis-| missed. It is thought that before any action is taken relative to the dismisszi of these em- | ployes an effort will be made to recover the money which it is claimed has been paid to them illegally. ‘The employes are consider- ably worked up over this matter, but those per- sonally effected are rather reticent to ta They are evidently waiting to see what will turn up. ite of | THE GENERAL OPINION at the Interior department seems to be that all the rerated employes of the peusion will have to go. This is what ht the letter of the Secretary retary Noble was busy nearly uil | day in talking with the chiefs of the various bureaus and had nothing to say about pension matters, COMMISSIONER RAUM SAID \ that he had read the Secretary's letter, but as yet had no conference with the Secretary rela- tive to these cases, He expected, however, to | have a talk with him before long. The erated officials, at least some of them, were secn standing in groups about the building today. evidently discuss- ing the situation. Some of the pen- sion officials today expressed the opinion that if one of the rerated employes was distnissed | all the rest ought to t WASHINGTON WS AND GOSSIP. Contracts For Tue Cavisers,—Secretary Tracy will probably award the contracts to- day for the construction of the three 2,000-ton | cruisers, proposals for which were opened Saturday. It is understood that the Columbia Iron Works and Dry Dock Co. of Balti will get two of thom at their bid of > and that the third will go to either N.

In the case of Frederick Rose against the Dis- trict of Columbia and the Eckington and | Soldiers’ Home railroad company for aa in- junction to prevent the occupancy of his land in Metropolis View the railroad company to- day, by John Ridout, filed its auswer. They deny the trespasses complained of and assert that the entry upon the land was made with the complainant's consent for the purpose of open- ing 4ta street east and in pursuance of an ap- propriation by congress, aud it was made with the least possible inconvenience to the com- plainant. They assert on information and be- lief that the complainant made no objection to the opening of the street until some time after the work had been commenced and the permit had beeu issued, and the paper waiving dam- ages was, 1f not actually sigued by compiainant, ratified by him and his objections withdrawn by written communication, on file at the Commissioners’ office. The defend- ant further says that there is an avail- able appropriation to pay for the land taken for the extension of the street, but complainant has waived all right to said pay- ment of any valuation of said land by a jury. ‘The defendant admits that the Commissioner gave thepermit to lay the tracks in April, 1889, and the construction was very nearly’ com- loted over the streets and contracts involvi Largs quantities of material and money ba. been entered into several months before any objection made by the complainant came to defendants’ notice; that when it became known defendant's president i. the facts and was advised by counsel t com- pluinant bad as a matter of fact ratified and con- sented to the extension, and further advised as to whether complainants’ signature was a for- ery; that he was under no obligation to go behing the permit, and on that permit defend- ant proceeded with the work. ‘The defendant asserts that it has constructed @ first-class road. a great convenience to the public, opening up a large section of the Dis- trict; that the property of the Plainant has more than trebled in value and to enjoin the defendant would inflict a grievous injury not only on defendant but on others.

They Were Both Represented at the White House Today. THE MISSION OF SEXATOR PETTIGREW AXD REP RESENTATIVE HANSROROUOE—THEY WANT THE PROCLAMATION OF STATEHOOD INSTED AXD INDIAN LANDS OPENED FOR SETTLEMENT. Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota and Rep- resentative Hansborough of North Dakote had a talk with the President and the Attorney General today with relation to the issuance of the proclamation of statehood for the new state. They are interested also in convincing the government that the proclamation framing the states will at the same time throw open the Indian land for settlement. There is a ¢on- flict of opinion on the subject. The Dakota people hold that a bill passed throwing open these lands whenever the consent of three-fourths of the Indians was secured isin force, while the Interior department is of opinion that a pro- Vision subsequently included in the Indian ap- propriation bill, which requires the ratification of the treaty with the Indians by Congress, the law that will have to be followed. = WHY THE PROCLAMATION Is DELAYED, A Stax reporter had a brief interview with Senator Pettigrew at the Riggs house this morning. The Senator said he had just seen the President and talked with him about the proclamation, He said he expected it to be issued very soon now. The cause of the delay, he said, that the returns were not all im He, himself, just brought with him the re- turns for South Dakota. They were all in now except Montana, where there is a con- test, and he thought there would be but litte y. “asked the President what he thought of the situation in Montana,” ne said, “but he had no opimion to give.” It is being urged upon the President to issue the proclamation for the states that are now ready, letting Montana come in under # sup- plementary proclamation. SPEAKING OF THE NEXT CONGRESS, Mr. Pettigrew said that the land questions won't especially interest Dakota, but that as | republicaas her representatives were interested in all that interested the party. He eaid they would be with the party on the tariff; were for a free ballot wnd a fair count, Speaking of the lottery tor length of terms he new Senators would have to take part i he said he would be perfectly witling to taki the shortest term, ashe would be sure of re- election, die left this afternoon for Augusta, Maine, Commissioner Morton Resigns.
