yesterday. With compliments from ladies In
sympathy with you In the noble work. As .
result, each OF the twenty-nine gentlemen who
voted for the woman suffrage bill wore O bouquet
during the afternoon Opinions differ as to the
chances OF Pickler's bill passing the council.
The leaders IN that body are radically opposed
TO IL. bat those who claim TO know say 1t will
pass by a good majority. Gov. Pierce will prob
ably veto the Sphinx county bill on the ground
that the question Is not to be submitted 20 all
the voters In the county, but only to those in
that portion OF the county which goes 20 form
Garfield osunty. Friends of the bill claim they
have the ' suisite two-rhtrds TO pass IL over his
veto.
BISMARCK. Special Telegram, Feb. H.
The Sphinx county bill was returned to the
council to-day with the executive veto. The
message is lengthy and touches upon all the
points involved The governor regrets the
necessity of vetoing the bill, and goes on to
state his reasons. as follows:
He would be willing to approve q bill arbi-
tTsTiiy fixing the county seat were the question
OF dividing the county 20 be submitted to O vote
OF all the people in the county: Approval OF the
that would involve 10th legislature and execu-
tive in endless trouble. Special legislation Of
this kind should be enacted only where there
ts practical unanfm1ty. III IL be said
that the bill is in the nature Of q
Just punishment to Sphinx county for the late
disturbances there, the recent decision OF the
COUlCl SH E1llNiOn 10 t6AAnk buC GOBt uIOh JAANt
county is a sufficient answer. All the force OF
exemplary legislation seems lost when It is pro-
posed 70 visit the sins OF Sphinx county on the
heads of the citizens OF Beadle county, who were
but innocent spectators of the trouble. 1t Is
evidently unjust TO compel the townships sep
arated from Beadle county to pay their proper
tionate share OF the debt of BeadIe county,
together with an extra tax to defray the expense
of erecting county buildings In the prOposed
new county of Garfield. The message closes
with q protest against special legislation, and
suggests that q general law be framed TO
cover such cases. On motion OF Mr.. Ntckeus,
consideration Of the message was put under the
head OF general orders, but as the afternoon was
fully occupied with other business IL was not
reached. The friends or the bill are considerably
discouraged on account of the veto. IL is doubt
full whether it can be put through both houses
by q two thirds vote. Having originally passed
the council by a unanimous vote, the measure
will naturally have a better support there thar
in the house.
RAILROAD LEGISLATION
At 3 o'clock the council went into ommitte
of the whole, Mi. Mclaughlin In the chair, to
consider Mr.. Smedley's bill providing for the APP
pointment of a board of railroad commissioners
and regulating the transportation OF grain.
The first ten sections OF the bill were consid-
cred and slightly amended when the
arose, reported progress and asked leave to sit
again. The house spent the afternoon In COM
mittee of the whole, discussing several bills.
Those members who voted against Picklers
woman suffrage bill, were each made the recip-
lent to-day OF a badge bearing the following in
scription: with compliments Of ladies TO
whom the duties OF a good wife and mother and
home are dearer than politics." Much specula-
ton Is rife as to the fate OK the bill In the
council.
HURON, Oak, Special Telegram, Feb. 12.-The
news that Gov. Pierce has vetoed the bill dfvid-
ing Beadle and Sphinx counties gives great salts
faction here. No fears are entertained that The
bill will pass over the veto.
