Special 70 ths REGISTER.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-There is good
deal of talk about evssions and violations
Of the civil service law and an inveStgs-
ton into them all. The movement of
Representative Tsulbee, Of Kentucky, IN
the House the other day in calling for In
formation on the subject from various de-
partments contemplates an investigation.
1t is charged that only during a very few
moaths after the law went into effect has
it ever been observed, and that now 1t Is
nullity. Republicans and Democrats are
alike blamed aud made culpable by the
gossip ahoat, and If an inquiry is made 1t
is likely to have less OF politics in 1t than
in most Of Congressional Investigations.
The Civil Service Commissioners profess
ignorance OF wrong doing, and it violations
of the law ore shown 1t is 10 be pre-
sumed that they will be found within as
we'll as without the sacred precincts OF the

QUE OF MONEY.
An Appropriation Needed tn COn-
tinue Missouri improvements.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The secretary
of war transmitted to the house of repre-
sentatives a supplemental report of the
Missouri river commission. 1t says that
during the past year the river has been sur
veyed from Ft. Benton to TTavers Point, a
distance of 24O miles. The work on the
Missouri river, from Sioux City to TT.
Benton, has been confined to the upper
portion of the river, with view to either
Increase the depth over the rapids in that
portion of the river by damming the water
back, or to sweep away the shoals of sand
by concentrating the current These opera
lions so far have been successful, but work
has been suspended owing to the eXhaus-
ton of the appropriation. Operations for
the improvement of the Missouri river from
the mouth to Sioux City have been con-
fined to the construction of a revetment for
protecting caving banks in the vicinity of
ST. Joseph and Kansas City, Mo. This
work will be continued until the stone cover
ing deemed essential to protect the revet-
ment from ice and floods is completed. The
commission says the amount of money
available after completing the work now in
progress is not larger than should be re-
tanned TO meet emergencies which may
occur at any time, and that general re-
sumption of work is therefore impossible
until congress makes additional appropria-
tions. In this connection it says that more
than six months work can be done on the
Missouri river in each year and that work
should be begun by April l. Moreover,
it requires considerable time to get the plant
in working order to make preliminary
arrangements and engage skilled men. AS
the appropriation for the current fiscal year
would not be available until July 1, it is
recommended that SO per cent. of the
amount asked for the coming year be APP
propriated and made Immediately available
The total amount asked for the next fiscal
year is 81, $500 The amount available
on Nov. 80, 1855, for continuing the i'm
provement Of the Missouri river was $40, =

proposed state. but they have exerted
good influence within the party. The only
Democratic paper OF note in South Dakota
that is attempting to influence the party
against the proposition Of division and ad-
mission is the WATERFOWL Democrat. aud
its efforts are only feeble. Prominent
Democrats in all parts of South Dakota
were earnest in securing the adoption Of the
constitution. and their work Is
APPRECIATED BY THE PEOPLE.
Now. as a party to go back on what they
IabOred so zealOusly TO accomplish would
not be in keeping with the characteristics
of Dakota Democrats. The fact that trio
Of would-be leaders Of the party in
Dakota are in Washington pretend
ing 10 represent their party. but
who really misrepreSent il, is the
principal reason why il is deemed advisable
10 hold a mass convention and take imme-
date action pertaining to the matter of d.
vision and admission. thereby placing the
party In its true light before the public.
Such a convention would no doubt prove
beneficial to the party and have a soothing
effect upon the present unsatisfactory con-
ditiOn of affairs within its ranks caused by
the jealousy of the followers of Abe Boyu-
ton and those who indnrse the course of NJ.
II. Day. Nothing would be more gratify-
ing than TO have the Democratic party OF
Dakota firmly and tremendously invited in
matters pertaining TO the interests of Da-
kOta in securing statehood.

slide. The Second street bluff has been Sc
lected as the place, and the council at its
meeting last night granted the projectors
permission. The slide will be public one,
and will be built with money raised by sub
scTiptiOns. The slide chute will be put up
alongside OF the steps. and will be about
100 feet long. with fall OF fully fOrty-ive

The chute can be put up at 4

not cost over 500. which can be easily
raised as one man alone has promised SIS.
The steps, already up, 1874 in number, can
be used 10 walk up on and for carrying the
tObOggans. They are substantial and will
afford excellent means Tor getting up after
sliding down and Will save the cost of build
ing steps. Those who understand tObOg-
gaming and are interested in the project eX-
amined this site yesterday and were more
than well pleased with it. believing it will
be one OF the best if not the best in the
Northwest. This portion OF second street
is not much trayersed by wagons, which is
IN the sites favor. The chute and slide
will be on the east of the steps and the
walk from the bottom on the west TO the
steps. The slide will be public and will be
free to all. old and young. The money can
be easily raised and the work of putting il
up will begin in a few days. At the meet
ing to be held at Wiklund's art gallery to-
night, for the purpose of organizing to-
bOggan and snowshOe clubs. the necessary
steps will be taken. Saltwater has the

THREE OF A KIND.
Senator Voorhees, WOuld Admit Da-
kOLa, Washington and Montana.


New YORK, Jan. ia Washington
special to the Post says: Last week Sena-
tor Voorhees, introduced a bill to admit
Washington Territory as state, and yester-
day he introduced bill 10 admit Montana
as a state. The senator was asked ii he
intended TO make the admission of Dakota
conditional on the admission Of Montana,
as it has been reported the Democrats were
disposed to do. lie replied:
1 can speak only for myself. / think the
best arrangement that we can make is 10 ad-
NIT Dakota, Montana and Washington. They
must all come in soon. and they might as
well come in now. / do not see how we can
prevent Dakota's coming in. She has a vot-
ing population of $4,000, and IL certainly en-
titles her to adnittance. l thought at first 1
should oppose the division OF Dakota, but
do not see how / can. The territory has an
area of five times my own state, and South
Dakota VIII be about as large as Ohio and
Indiana. Montana has q voting population
of $4,000 and Washington a voting pop
ulation of 10000. There are not fifteen
congressional districts in the country with
the population of Washington, and not a hun
sred with that of Montana. Dakota is he
publican. Montana is Democratic, aud am
confident will remain so. Washington is
close, and may be won by either party. II
she comes into the Union by Democratic
votes. under a Democratic administrati u,
our chances in the new state will be all the
better. 1t seems TO me much the best plan
TO take in these three territories at once
They are entitled TO ii, and polite ally IL will
be as fair and equitable an arrangement as
can be made.
Several prominent Democrats are reported
to agree with MIR. voorhees,. Mr.. Springer
expresses the opinion that the house com
mittee on territories will report favorably
Oh the division and admission of Dakota,
unless the party shall hold a caucus upon
the subject. In that event it is his opinion
that the decision would be adverse.

conversation remarked that the question
should be impartially considered from a
judicial point of right and justice without
regard solely to its partisan aspect He
certainly impressed the delegation with the
belief that he proposed to treat it on that
basis. He assured them that he would give
the matter careful consideration. and would
do what he thought right in the premises.
The delegation thanked him for the interest
