THE RAILROADS.
SOME FURTHER PARTICULARS.


CHICAGO, Feb. s.-The following fac S
regarding the withdrawal of the Rock Is
land and Northwestern from the North
western and Central Iowa Traffic associa-
ions, respectively, were elected to-day:
The notice of withdrawal given by the
Rock Island was because the traffic agree
ment technically prevented it doing bust
ness between Chicago and Saltwater,
Duluth and the Black Hills. Other roads
in the Northwestern Traffic association
could reach those points without going
through st. Paul, while the Rock Island
and Burlington could not. While four
roads in the association were willing that
the principle of "One out, all out" con-
ceded in all other associations, should
prevail in this, the Northwestern objected
and held TO the letter Of the contract.
The only way out Of the difficulty was to
give notice of withdrawal and form new
contract, permitting the Rock Island and
Burlington TO do business TO the above
I points. which could easily have been &C.
] complished within thirty days. Tue same
day, however, the Northwestern gave no.
tice Of withdrawal from the Central asso
ciation o. the grounds that the Wabasl
was permitted by the terms Of the con.
tract TO discriminate in favor of st Louis
These notices were given in the sole in
/ terests OF the roads and not for the pur
| pose of affecting stocks, as has been al
legged

The following rom me Huron Times is
81 woll-timed comment on the letter from
Commissioner McFarhnd published else
whore regarding the validity of proofs
made before tine clerk of courts, in cOun-
ties in which no tarm OF court had been
held at the date of proof: Tho rule will
affect to- rights of thousands Of settlers in
Dakota and elsewhere, but people whose
property may be in jeopardy should not be-
come excited, for in an emergency so great
ms the one promised. Congress will surely,
without serious DELAY, protect the interests
of innocent purchasers OF the public lands.
And no Illn who may attempt to take ad-
vantage Of the situation by seeking to de-
prive another Of bis property, will be able
to wealth I the fierce storm of iniis nation
which such attempt will raise about his
head. However, the subject is one which
needs the prompt, calm and serious con-
sideratiOn OF the people"

DAKOTA'S INTERESTS.

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-A committee of
fifteen citizens OF DGkota appeared before.
the senate committee on territories to-day
to advocate the passage of the bill pro-
viding for q constitutional convention for
the territory and to oppose the recognition
Of the recent convention at Sioux Falls,
on the ground that it did not fairly rep.
resent the people of the whole territory.
Ordway, governor Of Dakota, is upon
the floor of the senate or house every day,
openly working with senators and men,
bers to organize strength against the fight
now being made upon him by the people
of that enterprising territory. Ordway's
commission expires in March, but he hopes
to secure II reappointment, as he is the
bosom friend of Secretary Chandler
When Ordway was sergeant at arms of the
house he was able to do Chandler many
favors, and he now relies upon Chandler
TO help him. His enemies charge that he
has used his Office TO make a fortune for
himself and friends in land speculations.
Ordways official position gives him the
great advantage of the privileges of the
floor. while his enemies are obliged to
conduct their fight upon the outskirts,
cooling their heels in the lobby, while he
gets in his work within.

occasion last winter had there been, two
men to every one"
The object is not very obscure when it
is considered the territory has already
Iipened into "mature bloom" and the in
creased Legislature is simply an act of JUS
tice to the rapidly increasing population.
This district represented by g. W. Ster-
ling and which is composed of some five
or six counties, should have at least three
representatives. Beadle and Hand coun-
ties have combined population sufficient
for one representative, and one senator
under state organization, and why should
We not have an equal representation here
in the territory. The fact that there was
a stringency in the 'Iankton money mar
ket' last winter has nothing to do with the
present period An entire wear has passed
since that time, and one year means to
Dakota an era of progress and improve
ment that would require five years in the
states.

THE RESERVATION.


WASHINGTON, Feb. S.--At meeting of
Dakotaians interested in the opening up
of the great Sioux reservation, n commit
tee consisting of Judge Moody, J. II.
King, Barney Caulfieid, A. e. Kellum and
Register Luse was appointed to visit Sen
ator Dawes, chairman of the Indian COM
mittee sent out last summer: Mr.. Holman,
chairman Of the sub committee on Indian
appropriations; Secretsry of the Interior
Teller, and Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Price, with view of securing concert of
action. They have already visited Sena-
tor Dawes, who favors opening the reser-
vation, but at the instance of certain
missionary societies wants an extra appro-
priation for the benefit of the Indi ms in
an educational way. This proposition is
opposed bv Mr.. Holman, who favors the
original agreement of last year. Secre-
tary Teller and Commissioner Price are
already committed in favor of the treaty.
and it is very likely that if this cannot be-
concluded nothing can be done this con-
grcss. IL is not probable that the present
Democratic House will ever consent to an
extra appropriation and it seems negotia-
tons with the Indians on the basis of the
treaty OF last year have entirely failed.

FLOOD AND FAMINE.

: W5EELISG, w. Va, Feb. s.--The Bal
timore & Ohio engine shops have been
carried away. The main steel bridge over
Jonathans run, North Wheeling, caved in
this afternoon. Wheeling is in danger of
IA famine. Nearly all the bakeries and
many grocers are beneath water, The
milk supply and all cut meats, except salt
meats are almost impossible TO procure
and the stock of provisions is rapidly be-
coming exhausted with no prospect of re-
plenishing. The situation is hourly
growing grave, and many appeals have
been received from inundated parts of the
surrounding country for provisions.

Some newspapers are trying 70 make
out that people are very much alarmed in
some localities since the recent ruling of
commissioner Mcfarland regarding the
validityof final proofs before Clerks of
courts. We are III one of those localities
and so far have failed 10 learn OF any ones
loosing sleep over the matter If there is
any injustice to the settler in the ruling,
it will be nj. GIFTED, OF course. And asnear-
ly all are Of this opinion they don't pro-
pose o. become unnecessarily alarmed
The only thing necessary is 10 take imme-
date Steps to bring the matter before con-
gress. There are several allegations in
Washington now from Dakota, and if it
were possible 10, them t.: lay aside their
pet private schemes for few moments
they could probably bring sufficient in
nuence TO bear on Congress for the imme-
diate onsidsratiun Of this matter. Bu,
as this is asking good deal Of human ma
tnre We suppose another delegation will
he necessary.
