In regard to the fight for the admis-
sion of Dakota into tn Union, the Washington
correspondent Of the Chicago Times telegraphs
that journal as follows:
Although Senator Harris son got his Dakota
bill through the Senate. Il was only by sacri-
ficing what Judges Edgerto,i and Moody and a
few other residents Of TIE soi-disant State
deem the most important OF all the features OF
his bill-pamely, the sanction of the acts al
ready performed in anticipation Of admission to
the Union. The preliminary organization of the
State government and the election Of two Sem
ators all 60 for nothing. and the Territory of Da-
kota will have Z. all to DO over again. IL really
does not matter much. There Is extremely lit
tie reason To believe that the House will pass
the Senate bill. The House Is probably willing
70 pass u bill admitting Dakota as a whole, or
making a division a north and south line, but
there will not be two Republican States in the
new Territory of Dakota Within the next few
years. Really what most Of the Democrats
are fighting for Is delay, and that would be 40
compfished by the passage in the House OF al
most any kind OF bill different from the Senate
bill The passage of two bills by the two houses
would % leave the thing hung up until next year.
complishing is 10 keep Dakota out of the Union
until after the Electoral College OF 1888 has met
and performed its duty.
The photographic Office at Washing
ten has Just issued its February pilot-chart of
the North Atlantic Ocean, and devotes large
part Of its margin to recommending the use
Of oil in storms at sea. 1t says the evidence
of the value Of oil in heavy sea continues
TO be of so satisfactory a nature as to justify
the policy Of disseminating the facts as widely
as possible The use Of mineral oil is not
recommended, but the importance Of carrying
supply of the animal or vegetable product
for use in cases Of emergency cannot be
overestimated About one gallon of the latter
for every ten miles run by the ship is referred
to as having proved sufficient in one case of
terrific storm.
