Dakota Rivalry.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The little RI
valry between the Boynton-Day Dakota
factions i'll representing the territory con-
corning appointments is amusing. Copies
of some kilograms have been found in
which Boynton has asked that certain par
ties get specified letters and all this to down
Day. Thus far Day is permitted to have
perfect success in departments. Another
funny thing about Boynton's work is his
conduct in the Redyeld postoffice appoint
ment. His letter recommending E. c.
FOUGHT for the place is on file.
Yesterday he filed a protest against hav-
ing his Endorsement used as an indorse-
ment. This is an awkward way. as his
original recommendation will be effective
and lie might have withdrawn it.

a blanket policy. A huge pile of coal. esti-
mated at 200 feet square, sank eight feet
where the fire was burning underneath.
The coal company had received its winter
supply of coal, having on the dock a stock
of about 100000 tons, and as every nook
