A DEMOCRATlC SCHEME.
Proposition to Manufacture Twenty five
More Territories.

The Syracuse, IN. W Journal Of a
late date gives the following as the
latest scheme of the Democrats to pre-
vent any of the Territories from being
admitted as States: The Congress of
the United States is called upon to
act upon demands for the admission
of certain Territories as States in the
Union. Dakota and Washington
Territories are urgent applicants
Having complied with the Conditions
upon which States have been accepted
in the past, there is no valid reason
why these demands shall be rejected
The Democratic Congress denies these
applications on political grounds. The
probability that the proposed States
would be Republican is the reason to'
turning a cold shoulder to them. Bu'
this partisanship is not = te"abIe ba
sis of non.action. 1t cannot be adj

for admission to the Union of States
it may be expected that the Democrat

be made unless Democratic prepon

charge of larceny. These calloW TascalS.

Seventh street store Keeper named OBJ ren,
the articles stolen being several pairs ofpdn,s
aud a number of caps. They answered to
the names of Dennis Flynn, John Conroy
aud Frank Lefone, yesterday, aud
when arraigned the latter squcaled on his
pals aud made clean breast Of it. FlynD

each aud Lefone was discharged.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The second performance of this delightful
comedy aud musical melauge, with its bri sht
airs and popular vocal melodies was given at
the Grand last night to a moderate siz ID
auAjence.
y What the audience lacked in mum bers,
however, was more than made ~ in en-
thusiasm, the manifestations of approval
accorded the performers being hearty
and sincere, and characterized BY
great spontaneity. The spright.y and
charming Kate Castleton was
more .piquant than ever If possible and her
support was individually clever. Tue play
sJ1rkies with comedy hits aud humorous sit

Rail Notes.

The Minneapolis q st. Louis road was
seven hours late yesterday.
The Chicago & Crank Trunk has given
Commissioner Fink the required sixty days
notice of withdrawal from the Chicago east
bound freight pool.
Messrs. Cakes and Hannaford have fin
ished the examination of the Cascade branch
of the Northern Pacific road, and are now on
the main line coming east. They will un-
doubtedly reach Helena some time to-day.
The complaints made against the Northern
Pacific road, on the ground that it delayed
the through mail from Portland to st. Paul
for twenty-four hours, is not sustained by
the facts. The car containing the mail
matter was switched off upon a side track at
Bismarck, where it was detained for thirty
six hours by order of the postal departing Mt.
The com mittee OF merchants and general
freight agents appointed few days ago in Chi

ST. Paul, will report 10 a meeting Of the gen.
eral committee on the 9th of February
The officials of the Wisconsin road in St.
Paul express the opinion that the trouble
between that road and the Milwaukee & st.
Paul road, will be arranged in manner to
be perfectly satisfactory to both. The leading
officials of both roads are holding frequent
meetings for the purpose OF comforting with
regard to the existing differences between
them. There seems to be no doubt the Wis
consin Central road will get into Chicago
and be able to do through business between
St. Paul and Chicago, the only question
being whether it will do it over the Miwau-
kee d St. Paul 0 OVER its own line.

The advance sale Of seats for BARLEY
Camphel's beautiful and romantic spectacu
lar play of ''Sioeria," now in progress at the
Grand, augurs most successful engage
ment:
tn referring to the drama a writer says
t'We have no hesitation In prououncing
Siberia the greatest melodramatlc speelacu-
lar piece that has ever been produced in this
>iiy, and the cast is fully equal to the task Of
Presenting It in fine. style. The scene
changes frIm the market place, Moscow. to
the governors palace. then 10 the prison,
then ~ the miues of Siberia, and then To- the
harbnr at Odessa. Every scene used is car
ried by the company, and was especially
painted for the piece, consequently the stage
setting is excellent, the drama deals with
the persecution of the Russian Jews, and In
cileutally introduces Nnilisn. 1t abounds
in startling situations and thrilling eli
makes.
