an interview to-day, SAID that he considered
the senatorial contest practically settled in
favor of himself. He does not anticipate
any serious opposition in caucus, and says
he has no charges to make against Hub
bell, hut believes that many Republican
candidates of the Legislature owe their de-
feat to the hostile use of Republican
money, and adds significantly, Il don't
pretend to say where this money came
from, or who is responsible for its introduc-
ton into the campaign" Mr.. Ferry says
he doesn't believe the president had any
thing to do with Hubbelfs system of run
ming the campaign committees, but that
Hubbell is solely responsible, and the peo-
pie of Michigan so hold him.
THE BALTIMORE s. OHIO.
The route for the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road line, between Baltimore and New
York, seems to have been definitely settled
upon, and engineers are ROW at
work pushing the preliminary
work. It is expected that
actual construction will begin early III the
spring. The line will cost several mill
Il Wilmington road did to the Pennsylva
mia line. A loan of $15,000,000 has been
ten dered By European capitalists to push
the work at once. This line when complet.
ed, viii, it is expected, materially shorten
the line between your city and New York.
THE ADMISSION OF DAKOTA,
Delegate Pettigrew, of Dakota, said to-
night that he intended to push the meas
ure for the admission OF Dakota this ses-
sion. He thinks there would be a fair
chance OF success we've it not for what he
calls the facticus opposition eff Eugene
Hale, who antagonizes the bill because
some of his constituents hold few or the
Yankton county bonds. The Maine SEN
ator declares he will not support any
measure looking to the admission Of Da-
kota until some provision is made to refund
those bonds. The Democrats will fight
against the proposed reorganization of
Dakota because it would surrender the
senate to the Republicans.
THE IOWA MARsHALsHIP.
The Iowa members will hold a meeting
tonight to talk about the candidates for
appointment in the new judicial district
in that state. 1t is hardly probable any
decision will be reached this evening, but
it is probable time will be fixed for a
settlement of the matter. There are a
large number of candidates on the ground
making a fight, among them Col. Badge
row, of Sioux City, and Messrs. Kock and
Myer, of the same place, all wanting to
be marshal. Mr.. O'Coanell, a prominent
attorney, is here, asking to be district at
torney. 1t is probable that the marshal
ship will go to Geo. Perkins, editor of the
Sioux City Journal, although he is dark
horse. He seems to stands a better show
than any one making the fight.
The friends of
THE HENNEPIN CANAL PROJECT
will probably hold caucus soon and see
what can be done in the way Of combina-
ton to aid the canal. Thus far the pros
poets for action this session seem very
poor.
TIE TURTLE MOUNTAIN INDIANS.
A delegation representing TIE Chippewa
band Of Turtle mountain Indians from
Northern Dakota. has arrived in Washing
ton, seeking redress of grievances. Little
Shell, the chief, says that the lands and
property of the Indians have been tres
passed upon and..appropriated. They have
appealed to the interior department for
protection without success, and as he says
without even securing attention to the
subject. The chief says his people had
asked for hearing and had been ordered
by the secretary of the interior to keep
away from Washington. His people have
become SO exasperated over the
depredations of the white men
that they have disregarded
the order and sent a delegation here. The
delegation sought to interview Secretary
Teller to-day. out the secretary, as they
say, purposely avoids them. Little Shell
says the trespassers are men from Iowa,
northern Illinois, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, and that if they are not protected in
their rights and property they threaten to
take the case in their own hands and will
not answer for the consequences.
WAR CLAIM.
The war claims CD committee of the house
to-day discussed the claims of Smith &
Foster, of Chicago, for the use and occu-
patton of property by the United States
troops during the war. The property in
| question is the old race track near Thirty :
second street, and the amount in, olved is
| $4,000. The committee will likely report
the bill favorably, on Friday next.
AN ABSURD CANARp.
The sensational story telegraphed from
here to-day that an escort had been grant
ed by the war department to the
marquis of Lorne and Princess
Louise for their southwestern
tour on accou 1t of Fenian threats against
their life is untrue. Col. Tourtellatte, of
the United States army, who has been
marked in his attentions to Queen Vic
toria's daughter and son-in-law during
their California trip, requested an escort
as safeguard against Indians. Nothing
was said of Fenian threats of assassina-
ton. and nothing was farther from Secre-
tary Lincoln's mind when he detailed an
officer and ten men for the service named.
