mlnistrator apostolic of the vicarata OF

William Pitt Kellogg's attorney has
made an application before Judge Wylie
for speedy trlal on the indictment
against him on the charge Of bribery in
connection with star route contracts,
alleging dilatoriness on the part of the
government counsel. The matter will
have further hearing Saturday.
Representative Henley, from the com.
mittee on public lands, has completed
the report to accompany the bill, forfeit
ing unearned land of the Northern Pa.
cific grant. He says the committee is
satisfied that the grant along the entire
line. as far as completed July 4, 1879, is

feitare. and that such forfeiture should
be declared by congress.
NJ. Oliver, a prospector from Dayton,
O., was captured by band of Indians in
the Turtle mountains two weeks ago.
The Indians hold the prisoner for a
money ransom. A party of pursuers
started from Grand Forks, but the In
dians fed fifty miles in tho mountains
and sent word back that they would kill
the prisoner if the pursuit was not
abandoned.
Devils Lake Pioneer Press: A bill
has besn introduced at last in congress
to divide Dakota and admit the southern
portion to statehood at once. But Bis.
marck now sets up howl aud wants the
whole admitted as one state without di-
vision. While we take but little interest
in the whole proceedings that are now
going on, as We think any part of Dako-
Ia stands about as much a chance to be
admitted with democratic house as
Gniteau had of getting to heaven,we can
see no reason why the representatives
from Bismarck should always be presum-
ing to echo the sentiments Of all north
Dakota. We imagine there is something
or somebody outside of Bismarck in
north Dakota, and that they are entirely
too accommodating in their presump.
tions.
Washington special: The bill which
passed the senate to-day increases tue
ct tmpensation of United States dlatrict
Judges from SIS 500 to 5000 q year, but
prohibits these officers from filling places
under them with their relatives. During
the debate on the anti-nepotism clause,
Senator Ingalls, gave some of his col
leagues severe rap when he declared
that it was highly improper and indeli-
cate for government officials to appoint
their relatives to Office. Some senators
have all OF the available members of
their families on the government rolls,
but Ingalls, remarks were pointed
directly ut Logan aud Conger, who have
been very careful to find places, not only
for their sons and brothers, but for stheir
sisters and their cousins aud their aunts." !"
Both of these gentlemen were in the
senate chamber when ingalls, made the
pertinent assertion, but they took no
part in the debate.
