clals from Bismarck, jamestown and Fargo

throws all previous ones this year into insig
nificance. There was a heavy snow all last

Up to midnight 10 lives were lost, at least
none were reported, from the fact that 1t was
Sunday and none ventured to leave the
house. Trains were delayed all day, and all
cuts have drifted so full of snow IL will be
necessary to clean them out before trains be
resumed. Reports come from all parts Of
Dakota. The snow some places Is light, but
the wind terrific, with the thermometer five
to ten degrees below zero.

earned Lands.

earned Lands.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-At meeting OF
the House committee on public lands, Scales
withdrew the resolution offered yesterday
providing for the forfeiture of the lands
alongside of that portion Of the Northern
Pacific railroad not completed to date. He
said he had understood the power of Con-
gress TO forfeit the lands of the Northern
Pacific had been waived, but on examination
into the legal aspects Of the case, he found
he had wrong impression.
Anderson then withdrew the resolution
offered by him yesterday, which provided for
the forfeiture of land not earned Within the
time specified by the act making the grant of
July IA, 1879, and offered q substitute, pro.
viding all grants except of unpatented lands
be forfeited.
The amendment was lost on a riua roce
vote.
Van Eaton offered an amendment provid.
ing for the forfeiture of the entire grant.
This was lost by vote of three to eight.
Anderson's substitute was then lost by q
vote Of three to eight.
Henley renewed his original bill, offered
by Anderson, which provided for the forfeit
ure of all land not earned In the time speci-
fed by the act. The vote on a proposition
was seven to four. Cobb, Psyson, Ander-
son, Henley, Strait, Lewis aud Scales voting
ayes; and Bedford, Oates, Van Eaton and
Shaw nay. In preparing the bill declaring
the forfeiture the committee proposed treat
ing the purchasers from the railroad com.
pany as though they were purchasers from
the Government. Members of the commit
tee says 531 miles from Duluth to Bismarck
were completed In the time specified in the
act Of July 4, 1875, and that about IS ,0OO, 900
acres will be forfeited If the bill passes as
prepared by the committee.

The Political Pot.

NEW YORK, Feb. ga Trenton, n. j.,
special says: At a meeting of the Republi-
can State Committee, Monday night, the
opinion was most confidently expressed that
New Jersey could be counted almost certain
for the Republican ticket next fall for almost
anybody except Arthur. Blaine Is first and
Ednunds second choice of the committee.
An effort Is being made to secure the cleo.
ton of U. S. Grart, Jr., of Morristown, as a
delegate to Chicago from the Fifth New Jer
sey District. 1t is not stated who is sup
posed to favor It..
A Columbus, Ohio, special says The an
nual Republican conference was held to-
night, being the largest since the war, and
disclosing, to the surprise of all, that the
Sherman, Foster and Arthur workers, con.
shutting three separate factions, were &C.
lively at work, preparatory to the selection
of delegation to Chicago. The State COM
mittee meets tomorrow to fix the time and
place for the next State convention. 1t Is
found that John Sherman has better organ
ization than In 1882; that the Federal office
holders are In better line for Arthur, and
that Foster has an organization on hand for
Blaine aid Foster or Logan and Foster.
A New York special from Cincinnati says {:

THE ENGLISH WIN THE BATTLE.

The victory Of General Graham with 1000
English soldiers, at Teb Wells, Is as COM
plete rs the defeat Of General Baker with
Egyptian soldiers few weeks ago, on al
most the same ground, was overwhelming.
The opposing forces were in both cases about

In the latter fight the advantage Of the guns

superiority Of the English troops, as equip

Arabs fought we'll, but Intellectually, and the
conclusion Is unavoidable that but few Of
them could have been armed with rifiea.
Ten or fifteen thousand men, fighting as
hard and obstinately ~ the Arabs did, would
never have permitted four thousand TO defeat
them, with loss Of only twenty mine men,
had they possessed arms Of equal range and
precision. Organization, discipline and gen.
srslship alone will not account for the result.

That l.asker Affair,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Deuster, rising
to question Of privilege, sent to the clerks
desk and had read resolution adopted by
the executive committee of the Liberal
Union Of the German Parliament, express.
ing its appreciation of the action of the
House of Representatives In adopting the
resolutionon the Hoo. Edward Lasker.
The Speaker stated that the question was
not one Of privilege, but by unanimous cor
sent Deuster was permitted to continue. He
said the executive committee of the Liberal
Union expressed the sentiments of the peo-
pie Of Germany. The spectacle now pre-
sentsd was peculiar. As seen through Amer
lean eyes, Prince Bismarck, autocrat OF the
German Empire, was the embodiment Of an
idea antagonistic to American Institutions
He had returned the Lasker resolution. This
might stand to the prejudice Of the German
people, but the resolution Of the Liberal
Union contradicted that assumption from an
authentic standpoint. Death broke down all
political feeling, and In the presence of the
open grave the universal brotherhood Of
man was the inspiration Of the hour. The
same was true of the Germans, Is people.
and II they we're misrepresentsd by man
In place of power, they had no other
method of setting themselves right before
the world Than by the resolutions of the Lib
eral Union. In presenting this resolution In
his official place, as . member of this body,
~ . native Of Germany and an adopted c.i.
zen Of thu United States, he desired to ex.
press his earnest conviction that the action
Of the Liberal Union was the true feeling of
Germany, and that the action of Price Bis.
marck would not rise above the dignity of a
matter of personal vexstion, in no way az.
fscting the kindly relations now existing be.
tween the two nations. II might be prema.
ture now TO critieise the action of Prince
Bismarck, but when the official Information
thereof was before the House he would en-.
deavor to show that the Lasker resolution
was entirely kind and proper.
Gnenther denied that the people of Ger
many were hostile TO this country, or It's
institutions, or that the letter Of Prince
Bismarck returning the Lssker resolutions
reflected the sentiment Of that people. They
did not approve his discourtesy, neither
did they endorse his autocratic action in
prohibiting the Importation of American
products.
kasson regretted that the incidents refer
red to should be made in any degree sub
ject OF debate. In his opinion the House
will better consult its dignity by waiting till
some official communication had reached IL
70 the effect that improper comment had
been made upon It's action. When IL wac
informed thst the interest or honor Of the
country had been affected, there would be no
doubs Of perfect accord between the two
sides Of the House touching the action To bs
taken. He moved the resolution presented

THE coNGER INVESTIGATION.
Some Damaging Statements Before the
Springer Committee.

WASHINGTON, March wv. A. Burleigh,
formerly Delegate in Congress from d.
kota but now resident of Montana, was be-
fore Springer's committee to-day and was
examined in relation to the official conduct
Of Judge Conger, one of the District Judges
Of Montana recently succeeded by Judge Co.
burn, of Indiana. The witness testified that
Judge Conger was under the influence of
liquor SO often that business suffered. Bur-
leigh had seen him go to sleep on the bench
while important cases were being tried. The
delay in appointing successor to Judge
Conger, Mr.. Burleigh asserted, cost the Dis
trict from $4,000 to 100000 and had also
cost the government large sum.
Ex-Chief Justice Shannon was also before
the committee. He said be had investigated
the charge against Judge Coneer; the testi-
mony from two counties In Conger's district
had been Cainst him; while from two other
counties 1t had been In favor of Conger.
Judge Shannon testified In regard to the
charge of gambling; that he knew that Con-
ger, while holding term Of court at Miles
City played poker for money on Sunday
afternoon, while duIing the morning Of the
same day he had delivered an address to the
Sunday school. On other occasions witness
said he found Judge Conger played "stud"
poker and faro fol. money, cigars and drinks.
In relation to the charge Of having disreputa-
BILE associates, Judge Shannon said Judge
Conger had been seen in Miles City in June,
1882, al q dance given by colored women Of
bad repute. As to drunkenness, witness tes-
tilted that Judge Conger had been seen on
the bench on several occasionss when under
the influence of LIQUOR and unfit TO be there.

Roscoe CoYKLISe denies the authenticity
of the alleged interview Of Snyder, OF st.
Louis, with him, and says their conversation
was social. II Conkling didn't say what was
attributed TO him In the press synopsis, he
might have said Il, and said IL truthfully,
Garfield hadn't an even race with Hancock
until Grant and Conkling came out for him.
Perhaps Conkling does not want to say IL;
but Its true. And It's true "the Republicans
have shot down their leaders," Some of
them deserved TO be. IL would have been
better for the Democracy II they had done
the same thing twenty-five years ago, and
kept shooting. But they didn't. The trouble
In the Republican ranks is, that after the
raid began on "bosses" for cause, they kept
firing at their leaders merely because they
were leaders; rs though the object were TO
"shoot down every man who Is Lead taller
than his fellows.' We are rather sorry to
be Informed that Conkling denies the inter-
view. + HEF
