due and unwarranted haste.
Messrs. Roscher, MiIlhiser, Stratton,
and others spoke in support OF MIR.
Bloomberg's motion. Seeing that his
motion to lay ON the table was leading
to considerable confusion Mr.. Smith
Withdrew il. Mr.. Conner placed an in-
terpretation on language used by Mr..
Smith in his speech which the latter
claimed was unjust to him and placed
him IN q false position, and some very
sharp words passed between the two;
but mutual friends interfered, and the
whole matter, which was the result OF 0
Misunderstanding, passed over.
GENERAL DISORDER.
The excitement of the day, however.
was not over in fact, had not reached
its greatest heat The question recurred
on the adoption Of Mr.. Bloomberg's
resolution, and the disorderly element
in the body now began to assert itself IN
a very lively form. The secretary could
keep no record OF the proceedings at
this juncture- that is, OF the various and
multiform motions which poured IN IN
an unceasing stream, and at least
dozen orators who were wont 10 let
their eloquence flow attempted to gain
the attention of the Chair at once. Chair
man Ryan appointed Mr. james l.. Botto
assistant sergeant at arms, and directed
him TO enforce order. The chairman
shouted "Order" until he was hoarse.
and raped bamboO-cane on the desk
until the desk was considerably scratched
and bruised. Mr.. Botto in the
mean time made q vigorous effort
to auell certain unduly-excited dele
gates-one of whom was persistently ap-
plying to near neighbOr the very un-
pleasant epithet of You're q liar.
When Mr.. Botto was about to lay hands
on this delegate Mr.. Thomas Smith
jumped up to prevent him from so doing.
These two engaged in scuflle, and at
least q half-dozen persons took hold OF
each OF the antagonists. They were
separated, but the row would not
"down," and for n few minutes there
was witnessed lively scene. A number
of policemen appeared, and several per
sons we're elected from the hall, and
even then il was some little time before
order was restored.
NO POsTPoNEMENT.
When the disorder was begun Secre-
tary Tenser had Just commenced to call
the roll on Mr.. Bloombergs motion to
adjourn for q week, and the result was ::
Ayes, 20; noes, 40.

no trouble about this whole matter were it
not that any individual white man was put
off the Cherokee strip at the point of the
bayonet while cattle syndicates fenced
III 100000 Or 5000, 600 acres and took
possession Notwithstanding the opinion
of the attorney general had no right to do
so. They went to the legislation of the
Cherokee in order to corrupt it and reach
ed out with powerful arms against the
white man, and the Indians tried to defeat
this legislation in.order that they might
keep possession of the land. This closed
the general debate and the bill was read
by paragraphs for amendments. Mr. Ca
rey. of Wyoming. offered an amendment
in the line of the resolution of the Chicago
convention, that all officers appointed by
the president for any territory that had
been organized fOr the period Of FIVE years
or more should BE- selected from bona fde
residents of the territory in which they are

amendment providing that the land con-

disposed of under the homestead law in

WHY SHE SHOT SULLIVAN.
Mrs. Mckinney Gives Her Reason for Her
Tragic Act at Clear Lake.

MASON CITY, To-, July ENLIGHTENMENT
over the shooting OF j. F. Sullivan by Mrs.
Jessie Mckinney has not abated in the
least, and all anxiously await reports from
the wounded man. Sullivan is not only a
wealthy stock raiser but prominent Cath
Ole, and among his church people there is
strong feeling against Mrs. Mckinney,
so much so that number of them from
Forest City and Garner banded together
and went to Clear Lake, and there were
rumors afioat that they meant to
resort to illegal proceedings could

Die. AS it was all trouble was averted by
her being brought to this city where she is
in custody. To your correspondent she
complained Of being unfairly treated by
newspaper reports and desired to make
statement of facts. She is large hand
some woman, cultured and Il very pleas
ant conversationalist. Her story is as fol-
lows:
Myself and daughter, Miss Bernice
Bishop, have for the past three years

from our home in Sioux Falls, and, con
trary to our usual custom, this year

that we asked advice in the mat

vate citizens and were told to shoot if fur

OF this sad affair my daughter was out on
the lake until quite late, and l was accom-
panied home by Clint Davis. He stepped
into the cottage for short chat with US,
and IN about ten minutes picked up his
hat 10 go. My daughter then went into
the bedroom. She was in the act OF let
ting down the window when she discovered
two men lying on the ground just beneath.
She rushed to the door and called for Mr..
Davis, who had gone but a few rods, to
come back. He returned and went into
the cottage. Meanwhile the men who
were lying under the window had got up,
were joined by third party, and all were

the bullets struck Mr.. Sullivan"
Mrs. Mckinney expressed such grief at
being instrumental ID causing SO much
pain to Mr.. Sullivan, and all reports of
his improved condition are received by her
with gladness. Mrs. Mckinney is the
wife of a. L. Mckinney, a reputed wealthy
insurance agent. HIS brother, c: f., is

ANINJIINCTION GRANTED.

jEAVEkNORTH, july 2b.-AOOut three
weeks ago the Northwestern railway COM
pany applied to Judge Brewer, of the
Eighth circuit. for an injunction to re-
strain the railroad commissioners of Iowa
from enforcing a schedule of tranSpol Ia
ton rates which it had made under the
authority Of the legislature, on the grounds
that the rates were so low that they would
bankrupt the road, aud that the legisla-
ture cannot delegate IFS power. 4 tempo
rary in junction was granted and an eN-
planatery hearing was had III this city to-
day. Judge Brewer has made decision
sustaining the temporary injunction. in
discussing the matter he discusses three
questions namely: TEE legality of the suit
against the commissioners the right OF Il
delegation to legiSlate power TO make Il
schedule, and the right of the state to fix
railroad tariffs. He decided that an aC-
tiOn on such "A case as this is not strictly an
action against the state and cannot DE
maintained, and, secondly, he thinks that
the state made delegate such power to
railroad commissioners, at least state
courts have held that the delegation of
such p-wer is constitutional; thirdly he
maintains that while the state has the
right to fix railroad rates it must make
them reasonable, that is, high enough to
maintain the roads, say fixed charges and
return to the stock holders however small
the question not YET being settled that the
rates of the commissioners are reasonable
in the sense thae Judge Brewer used the
word. The injunction Is continued for
further hearing on that point, 1t IS eX-
pected that sixty days at least viii be re
CURED to furnish such testimony.

NORTHERN DROPS

WINONA, July 26.-Careful inquiry re-
Carding the crop situation in northern
Minnesota shows that prospects are most
encouraging. Winter wheat is already
harvested and will give an average yield
in this section of thirty bushels per acre,
while further west about the same results
viii be secured. In some sections chiuch
bugs have done a little damage, bat not
nearly rs much as WIS feared a few weeks
ago. Fields of late sowu barley which a.
thRt time were considered worthless, now
give promise of n splendid yield \ de-
stroyer of the chinch bug has appeared in
the shape of myriads of ants which have
eaten the bugs and saved the grain. Hay
and oats are especially fine and heavy and
spring wheat is doing we'll with promise
of fifteen to eighteen bushels an acre
In the Jim river valley in Dakota such a
cropof wheat as is promised was never
known in that section. Corn is doing
finely in spite of the cool weather and
promises we'll.

OLLIE 4 WRECk

CHICAGO, July 26.-A collision that
narrowly missed resulting in the death of
a number of passengers and train hands,
occurred on the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad at the Sixteenth street
crossing this morning. Luckily no person
was injured, but four cars of the BUrling-
ton freight train were derailed and Chi
cago X Eastern Illinois engine badly
smashed. The right of way belonged TO
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois engine and
the 20" train was blocked by gate. Spec
tators say that no burlington train men
were in the rear OF the train and the acct
dent was due 20 the @ men.
A Grand Trunk passenger train. on a
parallel track 10 the Chicago x Eastern
Illinois. came within a hairs breadth of
being wrecked by the over turning Eastern
Illinois engine. The damage is $1,000.
