Special Dispatch 10 The Appeal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2i.-lhc Presidents s
message on the rejection of the fisheries
treaty was again today the all absorbing
topic of discussion at the capital. The
Democrats are jubilant over "thc way he
has got the Senate" assome one expressed
it. They proclaim the message 10 be the
highest example OF truly American states.
manship, and declare their purpose TO
support the President in the position he
has taken. In fact, there is not one Dem
ocrat whose confidence in Mr.. Cleveland
has not been strengthenedby the message,
and there is greater confidence today in
Democratic success in the approaching
election than yet during the campaign.
Even the few in the Democratic party who
have been heretofore fearful Of results in
November now assert that Cleycland's s elcc.
ton is assured. The message, they proclaim
shrewd, able and vigorous document,
which has completely downed the Rcpub-
Leans in their effort TO make political
capital out Of the treaty. Democrats ex-
poct 10 take mp the bill introduced 10y Mr..
Wilson to give the President power TO re-
taliate upon Canada as recommended in
his message, next week, and pass il after
making some speeches on the subject.
No Democrat speaks Of the President this
morning in any but terms Of highest
praise. Inspired 10y warm enthusiasm
they feel that he has made great poiti-
cal stroke, showing himself equal to the
emergency. The Republicans are discon.
ccrted. They question the Presidents
sincerity and speak of his action as po-
litical move. They generally assert that
he has all the power necessary II ho is in
earnest, and that is merely an excuse to
delay matter upon the resolution authoriz-
ing retaliation. Here is what some OF the
members have TO say Of the message:

OBITUARY.

The moon, in all its brilliant splendor,
shone upon new-made grave last night
in the Sturgis cemetery, and in that
lonesome sepulchre, among the moaning
and signing pines, lie the mortal remains
of Mrs. Samuel T. Voorhees,, who died
rather unexpectly Monday evening with
puerperal fever. Although the body
will repose in the silent tomb until res
direction morn, the memory of the
deceased will be cherished by large
circle of friends from year to year until
they too are summoned to meeb their
Master beyond the Valley Of Death.
Mrs. Voorhees, was born in August,
1858, in La Crosse county, Wisconsin,
and had been a resident of the Hills
since the spring of 1881. Three broth
ers -Messrs Martin, William and Har-
ry Miller husband and young babe
are the near relatives who survive the
deceased.
The funeral was held yesterday after
noon at the Presbyterian church, con-
Quoted by the Rev. Mr.. Echols, who
delivered an appropriate and touching
address. The house was crowded with
friends of deceased, all of whom were
much affected. The pail bearers were,
Messrs. Chas. King, J. M. Moffett, W. s,
Chase. @. L. Wright, E. 9. Lane and D.
l.. McIver.
The ladies Of the Library association
procured handsome wreath of natural
flowers from Deadwood and laid it upon
the casket, as small token Of respect
for the deceased, who was prominent
and honored member of the association.

The Chadron Democrat Of last week
says: The latest B. g. M. news is to the
effect that the road will be pushed to
some point over on the Cheyenne river,
from which place one branch will run to
the tin mines, and another northwest to
the vicinity Of Buffalo, Wyoming. It is
the intention of the road to get into the
cattle country as well as the coal region
as quickly as possible, which probably
accounts for the company abandoning
the proposed line from Alliance west
through southern Sioux county.

A visit to Galena, almost totally lost
sight of recently, shows that q large
amount of work has been quietly and
ostensiously accomplished lately. On
the Ontario, Queen, Horse Shoe, Alexan-
der, Bullion and several others, develop
ments have been excellent Ore in large
bodies is disclosed, and in such quality
as gives assurance that the mines are
now upon plane where future opera
tions viii prove only profitable. The
attention of the mining investor and
speculator either, is directed to this
camp. Everybody is running to Bald
Mountain, and though the whole Hills
recognize how important are the mines of
this district and how gigantic are the
ore bodies they contain, it is not reason
able that the investments in them should
work to them detriment OF other camps
only less in importance. Galena is
bound to come to the front, and that at
no distant date. The closing down Of
the smelter is merely temporary, and it
is positively announced by those at the
head of the enterprise that when again
blown in the plant will be kept continu-
ously in blast Pioneer.

The ADVERTISER obtained few
pointers the other day regarding the
survey made by Mr.. Andrews from
Sturgis up Bear Butte creek to the
Homestake road, the substance of which
are that the road is to be a narrow
gauge; that grading will begin not later
than April l !; that ample capital is be-
hind the project to push it to completion,
and that the F., 3. & M. V. are in no
wise interested in enterprise.
