SENATOR sABIN.s ADDRESS.

All roads lead to Rome. And all great
railway lines are pointing toward st. Paul.
Senator SABIN was greeted at the GARRETT
banquet inNew York last night as the rep
resentative of the western terminus of the
Baltimore & Ohio trunk line. The banquet
was given to President GARRETT of that
road in celebration of the consolidation of
the Staten Island road and making New
York the eastern terminal of the line. 1t
had been arranged to have the banquet the
day following the day on which Mr.. VAN
DERBILT died, but was postponed on &C
count of the occurrence of his death. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. WANDER
BILT was in conversation with Mr.. ROBERT
GARRETT at the time he dropped dead.
The Baltimore 81 Ohio company is one that
has never permitted its stock to be watered,
and consequently only pays dividends on a
bona fide capital. Now that it has con-
Guided its eastern terminal facilities after a
long, hard fight, all it will have to do now
is to turn its attention to extending its line
from Chicago to st. Paul. AS Senator
SABIN assured our Eastern friends last
night, there will be no trouble at this end of
the line. All that they will have to do is
to let us know that they are coming and
the gates will be thrown wide open and
with extended arms we will bid them well
come. 1t is only question of time, and
not very long time either. when the line
Of the Baltimore 81 Ohio will extend from

THE DAKOTA sOUABBLE.

In the senatorial high school VEST of
Missouri stands above LOGAN in the gram

ploma on history. 1t must have been rather
notifying to gentleman of Mr.. VESTS
self-esteem to have been turned down as he
was by Gen. LOGAN yesterday in the dis
cussiOn of the Dakota admission bill. The
moral of it is, that when man talks he
ought to know what he is talking about.
So far as the discussion has gone it seems
to betray lamentable ignorance on the
part of all the senators of the subject under
discussion. They are treating it purely in
the light Of a party question without regard
to the interests of the government or the
wishes of the people of Dakota. We are
sorry to see the admission question make
this bad start. Instead of wasting time
over something that is intangible, if the
senate would pass bill providing for the
admission Of Dakota. there would be no
trouble so far as the house is concerned.
The bill now before the senate might ap-
propriately be entitled bill to postpone adj
mission.

While Coming Into Port,
San Francisco Alta.
The vessels of the whaling fleet from the
Northwestern waters are beginning to arrive
in port in rapid succession, fourteen of the
blubber-hunters making port yesterday
this port. most of them with fair catches,
and they are all due within the limits of
this month. Yesterdays arrivals were the
steamer Bal@na, Capt. Smith, twelve days
from Ounalaska, with total catch of l, 100
barrels of oil and $4,000 pounds of bone;
the bark j. A. Rowland. Capt. Sharlley
twentv-one days from the Arctic ocean, with
a total catch of 600 barrel of oil and $4,000
pounds of bone; the bark Hunter
Capt. Green, fourteen days from Ounimack
Pass, with total catch of 295 barrels of
oil and 1000 pounds of bone, and the bark
Mary and Susan, Capt. Rogers, fourteen
days from Fox Island, with $50 barrels of
oil and Is, 900 pounds of bone. The Ba-

been chasing in the icy waters of theArctic
A sharp chase of an hour carried the boats
within striking distance, and the lapse of a
similar space Of time saw the monster a
corpse, his life having been extin-
guished by vigorous prodding with har-
poems and the injection of an explosive
bomb-lance. The capture proved to be a
sperm whale, a rarity in these
waters, where the humpback and Cali
fornia grays are about the only varieties
found. He was veritable monster in point
of size, measuring 1877 feet in length, and
said to be the largest ever killed ON the
coast. Capt Smith expects him to turn out
over 100 barrels of oil, and the trypots of
the Balana will determine this question
within few days. The crew were in great
glee over this unexpected increase of
their lay" and are anxious to put
the huge trophy of their prowess
on exhibition before mincing his blubber.
With this view the carcass was towed
into port intact. the task delaying the COM
pletion of the Bal@na's trip as long as it
would to have cut him up at sea. The
strange freight attracted much attention as
it was hauled down the bay yesterday after
noon, and scores of the curious visited it in
small boats after the vessel had reached her
anchorage.

in the state more orderly Christian COM
munity than the Indians of the White Earth
Reserve. Their influence is felt throughout
the Chippewa nation. The Indians at Leech
Lake, White Oak Point. Cass Lake and Mile
Lac must perish where they are; they can
and will be saved If removed to White
Earth
Bishop Whipple adds: All the talk about
danger from Indian massacre, by pine rings,
is just to blind the eyes of Christian men to
robbery. We have no title whatever to these
lands except Ahab's plea to rob Naboth Of
the vineyard. These lands belong to the Chip
pewas. and they need them for their chill
dren and children's children. Their children
have no right to dispose of their peoples in
heritance. These men at White Earth are
our fellow Christians Their heather BROTH
ers are children of one God and Father. A
portion of these wild Indians have right on
the White Earth reservation, and we cannot
justly prevent their removal to it.
Such a plea ought to prevent the contemp-
lated outrage on the Chlppewas. We gladly
help along such an utterance from such a
source or such theme. Bishop Whipple is a
sort of unordained archbishop over all the
Indians OF the Northwest. Let his unselfish
and wise advice control the action of the gov
eminent.

Bishop Whipple's Earnest Plea.

New York Mail and Express.
Wehave received an earnest and eloquent
plea by the universally esteemed and beloved
Bishop Whipple of Minnesota in behalf of
the Chippewa Indians. 1t is proposed to de-
prive them of part of their reservation.
Bishop Whipple, who knows all the facts and
equities in the case, says that to do this
would be to add another to the long list of
wrongs perpetrated by our own race on
harmless Indians, who within twenty-five
years have so far Welded to the influences of
Christian civilization that 800 of them are
living by their labor.
Bishop Whipple's words on such subject
will travel swift and far and will carry con-
vietion. for he knows all about these Indians.

tendencies. He gives his word to the coun-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The annual re-

sistants has just been sent to congress in
the shape of a bound volume of over 1000
pages 1t contains some curious facts,
which impress one with the magnitude of

of the country itself. 1t is quite astonish-
ing, for instance, to learn from the report
that the number of miles travelled by the
railway mail clerks during the year was
over &C. 900, 600. equivalent to 1000 times
around the world, or a distance greater
tnal that from the earth to the sun. The

Chicago Tribune.
We observe that Minneapolis has allowed
herself to be outwitted by st. Paul in the
matter of a report on the number of new
buildings erected in the respective cities
within the last year. Minneapolis WAS so fool
lsh as to issue report first, thus giving St.
Paul the last word and the field. 1t appears
that in Minneapolis in 1885 there have been
erected 2.17S,363 new buildings at an aggre-
gate value of $1,000, O00.0O0.S7. In st. Paul.
within the same period, have been erected
4,17S,463 new buildings at an aggregate value
of 81, 0O0. DOC, 900 .8S. In Minneapolis the build
ings averaged eighteen stories in height; in
ST. Paul nineteen stories in height. Minnea =

DULUTH. Dec. 1S.-Property owners on
the west front of Minnesota Point are very
much agitated as to the probability of Min
nesota avenue being condemned. This ave-
nue. originally extended all along the west
side of Minnesota point, and some parts of
it is covered with water to the depth of six
teen feet and was never opened up for
traffic although it is shown in our city map.
Some years ago the upper part of this
avenue was condemned. but thr ugh some
mistake the lower portion of the avenue
was not condemned, which was not gen.
orally known. Now the property owners
from Graves dock to the canal have petit
toned the court to have this part vacated,
but the city council objects and has ordered
the city attorney to oppose the petition. If
this property is not vacated the city could
give any railroad the privilege to run over
it. which would destroy the value of all the
