Bon Homme Citizen, Aug. 9Th.
Six hundred bushels of wheat has been
harvested from "a bushels of seed. And
still We are told. the hopper take, every
thing in Dakota. '~f15'
Mr.. Heitgen, Of Centerville, undertook,
we are told, 10 cut his oats with q new reap.
er, drawn by span cf large ponies, bat
upon entering the field he found the oats too
heavy; the result was, that he had to cradle
down the oats from around the machine To
extricate it.
A grist mill in this place would soon have
its hopper filled with grcenbacks. If DR..
Burleigh will invest few thousand dollars
in this kind Of an enterprise, in this place,
We venture to say he would coin more
money here in few months, than he will in
two years in the Hil)s with his ten-stamp
mills. This county has about . million
bushels Of the best quality Of wheat and
only one mill. sg
A. w. Kyes, of Yankton, was in town
Wednesday, looking for thousand bushel.
OF 20 cent oats, and IS cent wheat. We
hope he will be unable to find any Il thi,
price; but many Of the farmers have q
much small grain they can easily sell five
or six hundred bushels at that price, and
then they will have to build new granery
to hold the balance Of their grain.

REPUBLICANS GOING OVER TO THE DEMO
CRATS-BALLoTTING FOR SENATOR.
NEW ORLEANS. January liz =. M.-Two
members OF the Republican House-Mr.
Barrett OF Rapides, and Dir. Kennedy OF St.
Charles-are just reported as having with
drawn from that body and giving their rca-
sons therefor in speeches.
2:45 Z. M.-Thc Republican Legislature
had one ballot for United States senator
this afternoon, resulting as follows: Pinch
back, so: Antoine, %; Lewis, 10; Bcattie,
II; Anderson, 4 and scattering, 5.
The Republican Senate is still without a
quorum. One member Of the House came
in to-day, and that body still has 4 quorum.
Pinchback'S friends claim he is master OF
the situation. There has been no disturb
ance. There is no change in the situation
this morning, and the orders of General
Augur virtually forbiddipg any aggressive
movements by either party will doubtless
prevent any collision. All eyes are turned
to Washington watching events there. Gov
ernor Packard has commissioned A. S.
Badger maior-general of the Louisiana
State National Guard, and ordered him to
organize the first division to-day.
The Republican, in summing up the situ-
alton this morning, admits that ii force is
to decide the question OF supremacy the
Republicans are powerlcss against their OPP
ponentS, who, it says, are fully organized,
equipped. and trained in the use OF arms.

The Vanderbilt VIII.

TALK OF COMPROMISE BETWEEN WILLIAM
H. AND THE DISAPPOINTED LEGATEES.
II appears from the statements Of inter-
ested parties that the meeting OF the rela-
tives OF the Vanderbilt family ut the read
inc OF the will on Monday morning was eX-
cecdinylv interesting. The immediate oc-
caSion was, OF course, the dissatisfaction felt
by the children OF the departed Commodore,
each OF whom. except William III. Wander
bit, expected 70 receive one million dollars.
There was great disappointment and audi
BILE signs of grief.
One lcsatee represents William II. Van
derhilt As being overwhelmed with surprise
at the contents of the will, he having eN-
pectcd that the other members OF the family
would nave been provided for in manner
more proportionatc 10 the vast wealth OF
the Commodore.
When he learned how the fortune had
been wiled he sympathizcd deeply with his
unfortunate Sisters, giving way 10 tears at
their distress.
Upon recovering. he expressed regret
that the will failed to provide for them in a
suitable manner. and is said to have re-
marked: II will not consent to such di-
vision as that OF the will, and shall sec to it
i'm the course OF two or three days that my
sisters are more adequately provided for
There was considerable conversation be-
tween the parties who feel aggrieved, yes
tcrdav, and a sort OF understanding. it is
said. was arrived at. that sufficient quaint
ity OF securities should be transferred by
William TO his sisters to make up, with
what has already been bequeathed in the
will, one million rs the portion OF each.
1t would require about 100000 out OF
Williams fortune to make this arrange
mcnt, but it is believed that harmony would
be insured in the family, and all danger OF
having the will contested would be avoided.
Mr. James N. Cross, one OF the alleged
dissatisfied parties, said to reporter last
evening that any allegation coupling his
name or that of his wife with such proceed
ings was untrue. For private reasons all
the heirs wished the will to stand, and he
did not believe that any attempt would be
made to break il or the part OF even those
who had most reason to think themselves
treated unfairly. Her brother, Cornelius
J. Vanderbilt. here, Mrs. Cross said, al
though reported to be among the dissatis-
tied. appeared perfectly contented with his
portion. and When last seen, few hours
previously, seemed entirely willing to abide

NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE-TuE LATE BATTLE.
PANAMA, January 1.-Negotiations for
peace are passing between the commander
in-chief OF the rebels in Antigua and the
Secretary of Foreign Relations OF the Ma
tional Government.
The United States steamers Pensacola
and Omaha are still in port. The Lacka-
wanna was at Mazatlan December 22d.
News has been received here Of 4 bloody
battle fought at Galte, Ecuador, on the 18th
ultimo between the Constitutional army,
twenty-five hundred strong, and the revolt
tionary forces. which resulted in the COM
plete route OF the former. Both sides be-
haved bravely, losing altogether about four
hundred killed and much larger number
wounded. When the news OF the disaster
reached Quito, President Borreo left the
palace and took refuge, it is said, at the Co.
lombian legation, while the citizens pro-
nounred in favor OF revolution. The revo-
lutionary forces would probably enter Quito
on the 5th ultimo, in which event it was eN-

BUSINESS LIFELESS IN LONDON ~ON ACCOUNT OF

TING OF THE CONFERENCE.-THE POSITION OF
GERMANY.
LONDON, January 11.-Business on the
Stock Exchange is lifeless pending the news
from to-day's sitting of the conference.
The continued wet weather also deprcsses
all kinds of business. The prevailing opin-
ion in the city is that there will not be war,
even il the conference breaks up. A special
dispatch from Berlin to the PalL-MaH Ga
zette, says: "The moderate parties have
manifested little interest in the election.
The Socialists Democratsl have been re-
markabiy active and confident. They con-
tested 123 out of 397 districts, and misgiv-
ings are felt that they must have materially
strengthened their representation. \ dis
patch to the Reuters Company, dated Con-
stantinople 12:45 p. NJ. to-day, says ::
It is asserted that although the
Porte maintains no opposition to the
proposed international commission and the
manner OF nominating the provisional
governors, it is still possible that basis
for an understanding will be found on the
ground of the Andrassy note, inasmuch as
tile attitude OF Russia is thought to Greatly
concilatory. The sitting OF the conference
to-day is regarded as very important.
Hopes are still entertained OF an agreement
being reached, but the attitude OF Germany
is said to excite some misgivings. II the
sitting be without result, or there appears
to be no possibility OF an understanding,
the Powers, it is thought, will take decisive
steps.
