WHO WILL BE aovERNoR9
mucl, Interest Over . Dakota PrObI eln
In Washington.

Washington correspondence Minneap-
oils Tribune: A good deal of interest is
felt just now in the prospective nomination
of the governor of Dakota. Every day
when the nominations come in from the
white house they are carefully scanned
with the expectation that some name for
this position will appear. The president,
however, finds his task pretty difficult
one. The contention over capital and
other questions in Dakota have been SO
great that it is difficult to find any man in
the territory not recognized as belonging
to one or the other Of the factions, and to
appoint such man would, be to renew the
strife which has caused great trouble
there, and been of SO great injury to the
affairs of the territory. To go outside Of
the territory is to select a, man unfamiliar
with it's affairs and who must spend at
least half his term familiarizing himself
with the situation before he becomes of
any special value in his position. There
is strong pressure being brought to bear
in favor of the present secretary OF the
territory, Mr.. Teller. 1t is understood
that Secretary Teller, his brother, refused
however. to take any part in the fight,
and all pressure brought in his behalf
comes from outside thu cabinet. Mr..
Teller's connection, however, with the
government and his former stand upon
the capital question, has so identified him
with one side of the subject as to render
him liable to the objection mentioned
above and because Of this it is beloved
that his name may be passed by. Col.
Lounsberry brings excellent recommen-
dations, probably as strong as those OF any
candidate whose name has been mention
ed. Yet there is a feeling among those
who watch the situation more closely that
he is not likely to get the place. Several
other names are talked of, but in a very
uncertain way. Could the president be
Judged by any sort of rule except that
which indicates that he will do the thing
unexpected, it would be reasonable to
suppose that ex-Congressman Deering, of
Iowa, might be the nominee. His en-
dorsements, of course, ar" good, his ex-
perence as member Of congress abroad,
and his familiarity with Dakota such, as
to permit him to enter at once upon an
intelligent administration OF its affairs
His freedom from any relation with the
old fights which have made so much
trouble, render him less Objectionable than
would be any resident of the territory,
while his excellent record as a gentleman
of experience and ability make him very
strong candidate. Yet Judging the presi-
dents future course by his past, it seems
pretty safe to assume that Mr. Deering
would not be the nominee.

A Notable Railroad.

The Denver News says: The Pixies
Peak railway, the completion Of which
within eight months is practically as
sured, will be, in many respects, the
most notable piece of track in the
world. 1t will mount 1000 feet furth-
er heavenward than the famous Lima
& Orova railway, in Peru, which is
now in operation to point II, 22O feet
above the sea, the highest that the
rails have as yet attained. The OBJ
stacles that are being overcome in its
construction are among the most form
idable yet presented to engineering
skill. The entire thirty miles of its
length will be a succession of compli.
Gated curves and grades, with no piece
of ofstraight track longer than 300 feet.
The maximum grade will be 316 feet
to the mile, and the average grade 270
feet. The line will abound in curves
from 500 to 1000 feet long, in which
the radius changes every chain. Forty.
degree curves are numerous, and there
will be one of forty-three degrees that
will describe three quarters of circle.
The road is being built in most SUBJ
stantial manner, and will be laid with
forty-pound steel. The running time
will be about fifteen miles an hour.
The road will cost from $l2, 900 to $15..
600 mile.

United States District Attorney Cambell
has replied to Govener Ordway's letter
asking Campbell to join with him in ask
ing the president to instruct the special
inspectors of the department of justice to
investigate both Ordway and Campbell.
According to all reports, backed by the
gtatment of Campbell, these two gentlemen
invited by the district attorney to investi-
gate him, and for about a month they
have been at work on this investigation,
and the letter OF Gov. Ordway was but an
unnecessary and uncalled for feature OF
his series of vituperatiye abuses against
the Dakota department of justice. The in
yestigation called for by Ordway having
been in progress several weeks, Mr.. Camp
bell seen no reason why he should pay
any attention to the letter, farther than
facts in regard to the actual condition of
affairs. Ordway had now better transfer

Wall street is not yet clear from the
hSctuating Process Of dissoluting power
that has controlled the actions of that
financial district the past few months, and
the reports of temporary suspensions and
business embarassments continually food
the country, causing an unnecessary feel
ing of general apprehension in regard to
the ultimate outcome The latest big
break down was that ofCornelius K. Gar
rtson, who made an assignment last Fri
day, the amount involved by the failure
being nearly five million dollars The ef-
feet on Wall street was to still more I'M
settle things, though not to so great an
extent as was at first feared. Saturday,
there was unusual exc itement, wide
range Of fluctuations character izing the
business for that period, and for a time the
outlook was quite serious. But after all,
there is silver lining to the cloud that
has thus darkened the appearance of af
fairs at the worlds financial centre, and
these periodical outbursts are but the ef-
ficacous workings of an invisible power
that rends in twain the blackened heavens
and discloscs to the masses the richly tint.
ed edges of crystalline splendor Accord
ing to the best of reports the recent s. KY
rocket explosions on Wall street are based
on the most equitable principles. In 1873
the panic that enveloped the United
States in its darkened robes fell most heav-
lily on the country at large, while the real
troubles of 1884 have descended on indi-
viduals only; or, in other words, the very
men who were responsible for the imitation
and the shrinkage that naturally follows
are the ones who are now experiencing
the breakdown career Of unsuccessful
gamblers. The silver lining is visible
from the fact that the fortunes of these
grasping millionares are being distributed
among a great number of people, thus
alotting to them widespread benefit that
would not accrue SO long as the boarded
millions were amassed by smaller num-
ber of parsimonious capitalists.

Railroad Speeds.

The daily express mail train from
London to Holyhead makes the aiS-
lance, 2eS miles, in four and hall
hours, being at the speed OF little
over fifty-nine miles an hour, stoPpsges
included. The distance between New
York and Washington is 2e8 miles. and
the fastest train makes it in six hours
and twenty minutes, or thirty-six miles
an hour, stops included. But most OF
the trains occupy from eight to nine
hours. In this wide country, where
railroad engineering exhibits such great
triumphs, It would seem as il we ought
to be able 10 run trains between our
important cities as fast as the Britishers
do. If we had Holyhead express be-
tween New York and Washington the
time of transit would be reduced nearly
one-half, to wit: to three hours and
forty minutes. This would enable pas
seneers to leave New York in the morn
ing, have an entire official day for busi-
ress before the Departments in WASH
ington, or attend session of Congress,
and still be ut home in time for evening
tea.-Scientifc american.

Cheap Labor,

The bill to prevent the importation OF for
eign labor under contract, which passed the
house during the past session, failed TO secure
consideration In the senate. There exists,
consequently, nothing to prevent the con-
tinuance of this trade, and Arm in Wash
ington has prepared to embark in the business
with view to supplanting American labor
with workmen from Europe. The scheme is
to import Welsh and Italian laborers to work
under contract ut low wages. w. II. Main. II
real estate agent, is at the head OF the
concern. and his agents are In Europe ar
ranging for the shipment of laborcrs to this
country. The plan is to keep laborers and
domestics of all kinds to meet all demands
and to replenish the stock by fresh shipments
as needed. The managers will issue circulars
to contractors all over the country, Offering to
give them a superior class of labor ut low
rates of wages. They do not, Main says. con-
fine themselves to common laborers, but will
get skilled workmen who will be willing 10
work for less wages to get foothold in this
country. In connection with this they pro-
pose to run colonization concern to bring
over foreigners, chiefly Germans, who have
small capital to take up timber lands. Main
says they have as much as 100000 acres in u
single region, which will be applicable for this
purpose.

TAKING THE TOWN.
A Colorado Burg Greatly Excited Over an
Indian Raid.

The town of Durango, Col, was greatly ex-
cited few days ago over the arrival of Red
Jacket with forty warriors, highly painted
and heavily armed. The city marshal arrested
one for disturbance and carrying fire arms
He was knocked down by other Indians. The
Indians then mounted their horses and started
to leave town. Several citizens and cattle
men gave chase, and Il running fight was kept
up for two miles. when the Indians succeeded
in getting out of range. Some twenty shots
were fired by both sides. No one injured so
far as known. The citizens have asked for
troops to keep the Indians on the reservation
and away from town. The cattle men of
southern Colorado are very indignant over
late losses of cattle. horses and the burning of
their camping outfits. a general war is feared
between them and the Indians unless some
thing is speedily done to protect their interests
from thieving bands of Utes.

The New York Times cable from its own
correspondent at Marseilles, says: I have
made II five days visit to the cities of TOulon
and Aries in order to learn and report for
American readers some facts in regard to the
cholera. have visited every room in every
cholera hospital existing in Marselles and
ToulOn, and have seen wretched people dying
in hospitals and novels, and buried at mid
night in cemeteries by the light of torches and
lanterns. l have discussed all phases of the
epidemic eXhaustively with hospital doctors,
much dreaded cholera is thing of which no
intelligent community Of well ordered
lives, and well managed sewer pipes,
need have an alarming fear, even when
brought into close contact with it, to say
nothing of getting into panic at distance
the city. In the chief streets we could discover
but slight changes. But the poorer quarters
and God knows there are enough of them
revealed another side of the picture as we
drove into them. From the tenement region
on the hill q fetid stream of water flowed
across the Rue Caisserie and plunged down a
precipitous descen ton the other side, through
children playing in filthy cutters, women
meanwhile washing the water about with their
brOOms under the evident impression that
they were cleaning something. The smell
through all this quarter, in which, during the
space of twenty minutes, we met three laden
hearses, was bad enough, but the smell was in
describably worse when he had driven across

quarter.
