Rieve of Minneagoli a member of the Minneapolis relief commit teo to take charge of the grain donati from the citizens of the west for the starving Ressinns, made a verbal report to Senator Manderson, It will bo recalled that Governor Thayer issued his proclamation the citizens of Nebraska, appealing to tho for donations of corn for the starving peas ants in Russia, that Luther P. Ludden of Lincoln was designated as chief of the com- mission to receive and forward the donations upon the streogth of Governor Thayer's proclamation. T ns donated which was taken 1 ¢ Jiion and forwardod to a committeo composed of W. C. Edgar and Colonel Charles MeC. Ricve at Minneapolis, the rendezvous of all the donutions of the northwest. The com- mittee during the collection of the donations wero informed that the Russians were unace quainted with the manner in which our corn was converted into foud; that there were no such things in Russia as cora mills or mills of any churacter which could egrind corn into the consistency of meal, und steps were taken to provide for the milling of the ceru beforo sbipment, Amount of Nebraska's D A philanthropie miller at Akron, O., offered to grind the corn und tako as bis remunera tion a suflicient amount ivom the grain itself to cover the actual expenso of grinding and douatious from Nebraska when ground into corn weal ageregated 1,- 450,000 pounds. This was sacked at Akron aud in cach sack was placed a cireulur in tho Russinn language giving full instructions as to how the meal could ve converted into bread, cakes and other forms of food. Upon each sack was brauded m largo letters “Nebraska’s Donations,” and the advertis- ing which the state willget by this announce- went upon cach sack will bo great. The meal has been shipoed from Akron to New York, where the ship Missouri of the North Atlantic Transportation company will tuke it freo of charge to a_port of entry in TRussia, whence it 18 to be distributed 10 the destitute peasants. The railroad transporta tiou from Alron was free, the wharfage in New York and the handling of the meal was free, and sinco the milling was practi caily frev and the ocean transportation 1s to bo free, the donors in Nebraska will hayo the satisfaction of knowing that the maximum amount of tieir contributions will reach the hauds of the starving Russians, The roport of Colonel MeC. Rieves is en tirely satistactory to Senator Manderson and other Nebraskans nero who aro interested, aud it 1s to e hoped that 1t will prove so to the onors. There Lias been no delay in the work of shipment so far. As Senator Pettigrew Views It, Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota was asked today by Tite BeE corresponder.t what ho thought of the proposition of Governor Melletio to call an extra session of the le lature in his state for the purpose of securing an exhivit av the Worla’s rair, together with the governor's effort to limit the proceedings of the extra session 10 action upou a bill pro- viding the exhibit. “I think the governor has made a mist: said Senator Pettigrew, ‘*in his effo wpledre n.embers of the leg ure in advance not to attempt any legislation further than that which wiil provide an exhibit for the stato at the World’s fair. It looks to me like a -proposition to com- pel members of the legislature 1o curb their own inclinations even against the demands of their constituents, and it mi create the impression that tho legi could not be trusted. “If 1 was the governor 1 would unhesitating convene the le lature in special session and in my message to that body. after pointing out tho wisdom of an ex it at the World’s fair for the state, urge that no further action be taken in any direction and then leave the work of the session to the legislature itself. 1f mem- bers wanted to take the responsibility of going ‘n1o other legislation, I would lot thom do it, for it would be their own business and thoy would have to staud the respousibility. 1 ort; er Exhib “I bave for many months taken the position that it was very important to South Dakota to bave an exhibit at the World's fair, and to have a good one. Being a new state, the de- sirability of, 1 might suy the necessity for, an exhibit is very greaf, becauso we must, in alarge measire, depend upon the ud’ vertisement of our resources for immi- gration and internal dovelopments. 1 don't think the possibility of unwise action in other girections at the hands of the legis- lature should eause the governor to h sitate a moment about the oxtra session,” Representative Pickier was asked the same question provounded to Senator tetti- grew and saia: “In the capacity of a mem ber of congress 1 have, of course, nothing to suy in regard toit. 1 wish tho people of the state to take their own course, Individuall 1 shouid reeret very mucn if South Dako is not represented at the Columbian exposi tion and vbink it would be a great loss to the state. | am in favor of any necessary means to bring that about.” outh Dukota for Harriso; Representative Pickler of South Dakota said today 1n aiscussing the presidential out- look: *South Dakota will again be_for tho nomination of Prosident Harrisou, You will remember that we voted solialy for him to tho lust in tbe convention in 1585, There is a stroug Blame elemont in South Dakota, but sinco Mr. Blaine bas rotired from the field of presidential possibilities South Da- Kota will undoubtedly be solid for the Indi- ana man from fivst to last. 1 believe that General Harrison will bo nominated by uc- clamation and ro-olected by as large a wajor ity as ho had in 155, Towa Politles Discassed.

The speaker paid a very pretty tribute to republies and their form of govern- ment, which now obtains over 160,000,000 of people. He thought that the only way to satisfactorily solve the emigration question was to give the emigrants republicanism at bowe.
