DAKoTA's ADMISSION.
1t Will be Made National Issue in Con
gress this Winter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Itis conceded

common to all administrations. Republi-

astounded to learn that theft tast liycs

been CAREFUL Acolle,cd and presented to
the senate committee. .!Thescna,e majpr-

the offensive manner ine which some Of

ALL THERE is LEFT OF THE PARTY,
and their majority Is the only check to
democratic methods not pleasing to the
rank and file ofrepublicans. The present
majority in the senate must be maintained
at all hazards they say, to. preserve the
equilibrium of politics. About every re-
publican senator discluims3any intention

q feeling has been gradually hardening
into determination that they must show
their hands soon to encourage the discon.

mnation is strengthened by the hostile
attitude of Senator Eustis and two or
three others towards Mr.. Cleveland.
These disaffectcd democrats will make

THE ADMISSION OF DAKOTA
will be the first legislation wbich the sen
ate majority will insist upon, and bill i:
already framed for that purpose. If Tho
democrats reject Dakota which isappeal-
ing to enter the sistcrhood of states, i
will be at the expense of, hundreds o.
nominations unconfirmed and appropria-
ton bills blocked all over the north cnl
of the capitol. Republican senators arr
, aroused to the imminent danger Of til,

] fight is precipitated over Dakota, it woult
