The senate decides that the president was
justified in bouncing Armstrong, the Utica
revenue collector.
The Dakota delegation in Washington
claim to have received great encourage
ment from democratic senator's.
The senate committee on Indian affairs
reported favorable Senator Dawes bill to
divide portion OF the reservation OF the
Sioux Indian nation in Dakota into sep
arate reservations and to secure the re-
linquishment on the Indian title to the re-
mainder.
t. president has nominated the follow
ing postmasters: William H. Elgar, Platt-
vile, Wis. George Crawford, Mineral Point,
Wis. The senate confirmed the nomina-
tions OF Charles Doerrer and c. c. Cole as
postmasters, espectively, at Fort Madison
and Carroll, Iowa.

Washington city postotIice was arrested
by postoiiice inspectors recently, charged
with riflinc the mails. Five letters were
found on his person, three of which had
been opened and robbed OF SO note Il

that he had been rihing the official mails
for the past five months.
The only bill in connection with Dakota
before the subcommittee OF the house COM
mittee on territories is an enabling act,
under which it would take two years to Sc
cure admission. The proposition for adj
mission at once is in no way before them,
and probably will not be until it comes
over from the senate. The impression in
the house is that the territory will have to
be admitted. but that it will be done
through an enabling act, and that is the
longest legitimate way OF getting at it.
Senator Butler, OF South Carolina has
introduced bill to permit lieutenant gem
erals OF the army to retain as aides de
camp any officer they may select, as long
as these officers remain upon the active
list OF the army. The secretary OF war
recently ordered back to their regiments
all officers who had been doing staff duty
four years or more. This was protested
against by Generals Sheridan, Hancock
and Schofeld who argued that the law
giving them the right to select their own
staff was infringed upon by the order, but
the secretary of war was inflexible. Sena-
tor Butler proposes to make speech up
on his bill.
Ali the Minnesota postoffice cases have
been referred to the two senators. The
members OF the senate committee on post
offices found the task OF going over all the
papers an almost endless one, and in order
to hasten the transaction OF business and
to do justice by suspended officials it has
been decided to turn cases OF each state
over to its senators. Senator Sabin has
been busy for the last few days briefing the
correspondence OF the Minnesota cases.
Senator Mcmillan will also GO over the cases
in the state. favorable report was made
in the cases OF Whipple at Winona. James

"Well, yes" said the old sharp

kept us so busy thinking we didn't
have time to consider the danger.

that strip of field The way we did it
was this We each took a big rock
and pushed it along, keeping Ourselves
behind it, fiat on the ground. Every
once in a while ziz-zip would come a
bullet by us, or better directed shot
would hit the stone. But as long as
we kept the stone between rs and
their rifles we were safe. Now and
then we would raise our caps above
the stone and instantly we would hear
the crack of rife and a bullet would
come whizzing by our heads. Then we
would push the stone along a little
further, knowing that the man who
had Just fired couldn't fire again
until he had reloaded, and that
even then he would have to ad-
just his sights again. In this
way we crept along inch by inch until
we had got about halfway across the

TREE CULTURE IN DAKOTA.

Mr.. JAMES FARRELL of Fargo. who has
considerable experience in forest culture in
both Minnesota and Dakota, has. in response
TO request of the forestry division of the
agricultural department at Washington,
submitted to the department statement of
his views concerning tree planting in the
Northwest Mr.. FARRELL says that one
cause which has initiated against success
full tree planting in Dakota has been the
effort to introduce exotics. He insists that
none but acclimated trees SHOULD be planted.
He says that the box-elder is better adapted
to Dakota soil and climate than any
other tree, as 1t will grow in any
locality In the territory and under proper
cultivation will grow from two 10 two and
one-half feet in one season. The yellow
cottonwood is recommended as the next
fastest grower, but it should always be
planted in low land. The ash, elm and
balm of Gilead are recommended as reliable
growers. The soft maple, black walnut
and apple should be nursed and protected
by other trees. The cedar and burr and
white oak grow ON bluffY land. and the
white willow is said to be the best for tree
claims and shelter belts.
Mr.. FARRELL also explains his method
of tree planting and cultivating. He says
he always prefers to get out the trees HIM
self. as when it is lett TO be done by some
one else it is not so well done. He selects
as high land as he can find, AMI plows it
ten or twelve inches deep; drags or harrows
it and then marks it out as If for corn
planting. By blowing the ground the roots
h. 4 Il,
hot summer months. When the trees are
10 be taken up and transplanted. they are
handled carefully, always covering them TO
protect from the air. Holes of ten inches
deep are dug, and always wide enough TO
admit the roots without contracting them,
and when the tree Is set in the loose fine
clay is drawn around the roots and
lightly tramped with the feet. Then sue
cessive layers of dirt are drawn in
and lightly tramped until the hole is
filed. AS soon as the trees are in full leaf
he commences TO cultivate them and con-
tinues it until the I@ddle of July. They
should be cultivated as often as circum-
stances will permit-the oftener the better.
Cultivation after the middle of July stiinu-
Iates late growth which may prove dis
astrous TO the tree when the first frosts
come.
Mr.. FARRELL expresses the opinion that
with proper attention it is just as easy to
raise trees in Dakota as it is to grow wheat.
He thinks that the principal drawback 10 for
est culture in the territory is the abuse of
the timber culture law and the gobbling up
of half of the tree claims by spectators. A
Spectator having family of ten, he says,
can hold tree claim for generation, and
according to the law as it now exists. may
not have one tree growing on his claim at
the end of thirty years. Consequently he
urges that the timber culture law be so
amended that the assignee of a timber
claim should be required to perfect the title
according to the requirements Of the orig
iDal entry.

full progress the city has made within the
last decade. This demonstration will serve
to call the attention of the people of the
United States to the fact that when less
than half generation ago the name of
Duluth was mentioned in connection with a
measure that was pending before congress
it excited the derision of the nations repre-
sentatiyes and elected speech from one of
the members of congress so full of satirical
humor that it made its author famous. Now

pective city by the unsalted sea could be

rapid and marvellous development that this

sHERMAN,s DIFFICULTY.

1t is stated that Senator SHERMAN is
meeting with considerable embarrassment
in his senatorial campaigning because of
the organized opposition OF the labor ele-
ment, which fortunately has number of
very intelligent members in the present
Ohio Legislature. The senator has en-
deavored to placate them in divers ana sun
dry ways well known TO the veteran wire
puller. but he has discovered that
they are as high-minded as they
are intelligent, and consequently
impervious to the most seductive
persuasion, which long career, involving
all kinds of dubious political methods, has
been able to suggest. With sturdy honesty
the representatives Of the people insist
upon an explanation Of one point before
they will listen TO further arguments. They
desire the senior senator from Ohio TO ex-
plain how il came about that he entered
public life a poor man. and with no other
avenues of gain, is now twice millionaire.
AS barb to this pointed question they in
stance the honored ALLEN G. THURMAN,
who after lengthy term Of service, has re-
tired to private life no richer than at the
beginning of political career. AS Mr..
SIBERIAN does not find it convenient TO
make the desired explanation, his chances
for returning to the United States senate
are beautifully small.
