council to-day was the bill appropriat-
ing $4,000 for the establishment of a
school of mines in Rapid City, in the
Black Hills. The bill came up on its
third reading, having been reported
from the committee on appropriations
with a recommendation for passage. A
movement was made to re.commit, but
was defeated, and the bill passed by q
unanimous vote. During the discussion
MIR. Pettigrew spoke at length on the
resources of the Black Hills. urging the
provision of the bill as necessary to the
development of the country. The bill

Appropriation bills have passed the
council as follows:
Appropriating $4,000 for the perma-
nent improvement of the school for deaf
mutes at Sioux Falls.
Appropriating $ls,5OO for the perma-
nent improvement of Vermillion uni.
versity, $4,000 for the permanent i'm
provement Of the agricultural college at
Brookings. and $4,000 for the perma-
nent improvement of the normal school,
at Madison.
The office of university regent and
agricultural college regent is abolished
in the appropriation bills and in their
stead boards of directors are established.
This seems like another name for the
same thing, but it may not be. At any
rate these officers should be restricted az
to salaries and allowances.

Among the items in the report of the
capital commission, quoted as Expenses"
are the accounts of nine Dakota news
papers. and one Minnesota ard one
Iowa newspaper for publishing notices."
The aggregate sum expended for this
purpose is $l,595,35. It is unnecessary
to remark that the papers represented
in these charges were friendly to the
commission. The notices" contained
were possibly favorable editorial notices,
in most instances, as the commission had
no extensive amount of advertising
to do. Five of these newspapers took
their pay in town lots, and it is some
thing of q asingular coincidence that their
accounts correspond exactly with the
prices Of the lote.

a bill has been passed and signed by
the governor making an appropriation
for the purchase of coal for the capitol
building and bill has been introduced
providing for the purchase of water for
the same institution. These Dakota
Legislators are getting high toned. In the
good old days of peace and brotherly
love Uncle Sam used to cord up row of
wood at the back door, where the men,
bers could help themselves without cost
to the dear people. As for water-well
bare proposition to purchase water for
the legislature would have caused a
precipitate ssne dec adjournment. Times
have changed and we wouldn't be sur
prised if some of the members would
next be asking for soap and tooth
brushes.

Spain Apparently Inevitable.
NEW Y"RK, Sept 5.-A Madrid dispatch has
the following: Last night official dispatches
reached the government from the Philippines
stating that German gunboat landed troops
on the night of the oath of August at zap
island and hoisted the German flag there. The
Spanish vessels, San Quentin and Manila were
at zap bay at the time. The captains
of the Spanish vessels and the Spanish
governor-since dismissed by telegraph-pro-
tested with energy against the occupation. The
Spanish gunboaLs cleared decks for action and
the Manila was about to open fire upon the Ger
man gunboat, when she was signalled to desist
which she did most reluctantly. third Span
ish vessel, the Nelastoro, has arrived at zap
bay This news causes the widest
excitement throughout Spain. Crowds
gathered in the streets of Madrid all
night long, frantically gesticulating
and calling the Emperor William, the Crown
Prince and Bismarck the vilest names. Several
thousand people, shouting "Death to Bismarck"
and viva Espana," mobbed the German en-
bassy building, smashing the windows, break
ing into . thousand pieces the German arms on
the building and trampling the fragments un-
der their feet. The embassy was completely
mObbed. The furniture and mirrors were
dashed to pieces the people almost foaming at
their mouths with frenzy. The king will arrive
here to-day. Several of the soberest Spaniards
feel confident that the affair must now end
either by war or revolution.
