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, but believes that many Republican
candidates of the legislature owe their de-
feat to the hostile use OF Republican
money, and adds significantly, II 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 Hubbelrs system of run
ming the campaign committees, but that
Hubbell is solely responsible, and the peo-
pie Of Michigan so hold him.
THE BALTIMORE & 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 now at
work pushing the preliminary
work. 1t is expected that
actual construction will begin early in the
spring. The line will cost several mill
ion less than the Baltimore, Philadelphia
il Wilmington road did TO the Pennsylva-
mia line. A loan of $15,O0o,OoO has been
rendered by European capitalists to push
the work at once. Tais line when compiets
ed, will, it is expected, materially shorten
the line between your city and New York.
THE ADMISSION oE DAKOTA,
Delegate Pet;igrew, of Dakota, said to-
night that he intended to push the meas
IRE for the admission of Dakota this SEES
sion. He thinks there would be q fair
chance OF success we've il not for what ne
calls the factious opposition eff Eugene
Hale, who antagonizes the bill because
some CT has constituents hold few OF 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 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 a time will be fixed for
settlement Of the matter. There are a
large number of candidates on the ground
making 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'Connell, prominent
attorney, is here, asking to be district at
torney. It 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 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 doHe in the way of combina-
ton to aid the canal. Thus far the pros
poets for action this session seem very
poor.
THE TURTLE MOUNTAIN INDIANS.
A delegation representing the 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 tbs 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 50 exasperated over the
depredations Of the white men
that they have disregarded
delegation sought to interview Secretary
Teller to-day. but 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.
AwAR CLAIM.
The war claims 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 thewar. The property in
question is the old race track near Thirty
second street, and the amount inv olved is
$4,000 The committee will likely report
the bill favorably, on Friday next.
AN ABSURD CANARp.
The sensational story teiegraphed from
here to-day that an escort had been grant
ed by the war department to the
marquis of Lorne aud Princess
Louise for their southwestern
tour on accou st 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 a 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.
