fuses the information We ask, that settles it.
We can refuse to confirm, and put him to
the trouble Of writing out another slip, at
the end of the session, reappointing his
man, and that's ALL. This talk about
deadlock and controversy is all the veriest
rot

NEWS FROM THE OLD WORLD

The cool and evasive reply Of Servia to
the joint note recently received from the
Powers, requesting her to disarm, in which
she simply acknowledged the receipt Of the
note and said she would think about it, is
explained by the fact that just before send
ing the reply Servia had received from
Greece confidential telegram of an i'm
portant character. It is surmised that
Greece offered TO join Servia in resisting
the demand to disarm, MS it is known that
previous to the receipt Of the dispatch Ser
via had drafted a reply very different from
the curt note subsequently sent.

The claims of Dakota to be admitted into
the Union as State are exciting universal
attention. Heretofore the United States
Senate, and particularly the Democrats
members thereof, have opposed the aspira-
ton of Dakota. One of the leaders of the
opposition is George Graham Vest, Senator
from Missouri, who charges that the action
of Dakota in holding Constitutional Con-
vention and adopting Constitution, with
Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1886-02-10

out the authority of an enabling act from
Congress, was revolutionary. On the other
side, it is claimed that the course taken by
Dakota is not without precedent, and that
the situation is analogous to that Of Ten
nessee, California, Kansas, Michigan and
several other States. when they applied for
admission into the Union.
George Graham Vest, Of Missouri, was
born at Frankfort, KY, Dec. 6, 1890. He

Gov. squire's Annual Report.

Gov. Watson G. Squire, of Washington
Territory, has submitted his annual report
TO the Secretary of the Interior. The re-
port is long and interesting paper con-
cernlng the part of the country that has
developed many sources of wealth. but
which remains comparatively unsettled, as
the farming lands, thousands Of acres of
tine timber, coal and iron mines and fish
erles that promise to add a great deal of
wealth to the northwest. A considerable
part of the report is devoted to the out
break against the Chinese last February
and his efforts to protect them in their
treaty rights. He says citizens in several
large towns are inclined to be lenient TO-
ward those who are hostile TO the Chinese.
and 1t is difficult to secure the conviction
OF offenders. This feeling has been aggra-
waited by the fact that a number of Chinese
cross the border from British Columbia in
defiance Of law, and that the Government
HIS been unable, with the limited customs
1orce, 10 expel them. The undcsirabilty
or Chinese as residents in large numbeys is
admitted, the Governor holding the opinion
that the Territory should be settled by peo-
pie who will uphold American traditions
and institutions.
