Surveyors-Genera1 to Go.
Two appointments are soon to be mad
in the land office branch Of the Interior
Department. These are the Surveyors
General for Dakota and Minnesota. Mr..
Lamar says that these appointments may
be reached before long in due course, by
which he means q systematic examina-
ton Is being made into the character, an
~tecedents, and official services of every
officeholdcr who can be removed, and
should be. for good cause. 1t is known
that during the last few days Mr.. Lamar
has sought information in regard to NJ.
3. Chandler, Surveyor General of Mime.
sofa, and Cortez Fessenden, Surveyor
General OF Dakota. He Is OF the opinion
that Gen. Fessenden should be removed.
Mart Chambers removal will be based
on the statement that he is what is tech
nically styled IN offensive partisan. The
Dakota appointment is expected this
week, and the lucky man is said TO be a
resident of Deadwood. More than this
cannot be learned at the department Mt
present. Mr.. Donnelly is regarded as
very likely to be appointed in Minnesota.
Russia and China.
Dispatches from Shanghai state that
the dispute between China and Russia re-
SutoihS tuC iIOutiCI VI N1uutuUOTl HIS
become acute. owing to the non-arrival
Of Russia's members Of the delineatioa
commission and constant pc stronement
OF the date OF the r arrival at the place of
meeting to settle the boundary quest.o on.
The Chinese commissioners have been
ready for months to begin the work. and
the failure OF the Russian commissioners
to meet them has caused the Chinese Gov.
eminent to believe that the same faana
enacted respecting the Afghan nd
will tie performed in this case. Now
that the difficulty with France in relation
to Tonquin has been settled. China has
become more courageous, and has de-
manded that Russia fulfill her part OF the
agreement which led to the appointment
OF tho commission.
Enforcing the Prohibition Law.
Justice Mclaughlin. Of Washington,
Iowa, decided In the case of the seiz-
ure Of eight hundred kegs of beer Mt
J~ugenheimer's brewery, that the beer was
made, used and sold contrary to law, and
condemned 1t, and instructed the Sheriff
TO destroy Il and the vessels in which it
was stored. The Sheriff and six associ-
ates began the work at Z o'clock last
night, and by midnight had emp,ied fully
eight hundred kegs and smashed the
kegs, ponies, ~tierces. watts, etc, The
brewer made no resistance. Some Of the
spectators dipped up the spilled beer in
haste and drank ii, and the officers had
hard work to prevent n general %carousal.
The beer and other property de-
stroyed amounted to $40 900 in value.
A good deal of whisky has also been COB
bled up here and consigned to the
hungry and thirsty crowd.
The Illinois Election.
The special election to fill the vacancy
in the Thirty fourth Senatorial District
resulted in q victory for the Republicans.
Senator johnson. Democrat, sent a telc-
gram to the iunketing committee at New
Orleans. conceding the election to the
Republicans. This will give them 1903
votes in joint ballot, and If Sittig and the
other anti Logan Republicans should con
sent to abide by the caucus the increase
would insure the election Of a Republi-
can In the United States Senate.
The following is the majorities accord
