1t was expected that during the alter
noon several witnesses would be sworn and
testify on the part of SandersCn but
somewhat to the surprise of those who
did not understand the exact situation,
the attorneys for defendant announced
that they would no testimony and did not
even put tie defendant on the stand.
A recess was her taken until 3 p. m
for the purpose of preparing instructions,
and Judge Maginnis, in the meantime,
prepared his written charge, incorporat-
ing in it such of the instructions asked
for by counsel on both sides, as he felt
justified in giving.
When court was called at 3 O'Clock,
County Attorney Stoll having waived the
opening, Gibson Clark proceeded to ad-
dress the jury in behalf of Sanderson and
spoke for nearly three quarters of an
hour. Mr.. Clark c%ontending that no ma
terial point had been proven to the jury
beyond a reasonable doubt and laid spe-
cial stress on the fact that the testimony
regarding the identity of the remains had
not, in his Judgment, been such as would
warrant the jury in finding that they
were those of Richard Rice. In fact, in
his judgment, there was no such evil
dence as would warrant any Jury in re-
turning a verdict of guilty.
On the part of the prosecution Mr..
Stoll spoke for an hour and twenty min
utcs, and handled the material points in
the case for all there was in them. He of
course claimed that there was no question
such as would amount to a reasonable
doubt as to the identity of the remains
and contended from the fact that Sander.
son admitted he fired a shot and soon
after was seen looking toward the old
overland road as though fearful that he
might have been seen, and also from the
fact of the presence of a trail from a point
near the Everett ranch to the river, the
guilt of the defendant had been conclu-
sively shown.
Judge Maginnis then proceeded to
charge the Jury concerning the law appli-
cable to the case-his charge being brief,
but an excellent one, and such as could
not well be complained of by either side.
The jury then retired to deliberate on
their verdict, and at, last accounts were
still out.

After the jury had retired in the San.
dcrson case, the case Of the Territory VS.

BAPTIZED IN HER BLOOD.
A Young Squaw Sacrificed at an Indian'a
 Drunken Orgie.

A 1OunS SQuaW Sacr1nced at an 1nd1an'a
 Drunken Orgie.
 REDwING, Minn., Nov. 10.-The old Win- nebago Indian tribe, which formerly was set tied on the Winnebago reservation, near Tremplean, Wis, was recently removed to Nebraska, but about 900 of them remain in Wisconsin. At the commencement of the hunting season every year it is an old custom to indulge in orgies to propitiate Gilchemani- ton and to procure good seasons hunt
 While this was being done recently several old men drew to one side, holding an ami. mated conversation. The hunting season had been bad and something must be done to propitiate the Great Spirit.
 Finally when all were intoxicated and feverish with excitement young buck, with his hunting knife in his hand, jumped into the center of the ring of dancers, and seizing young girl by the hair dragged her into the center and stabbed her several times in the breast. He then wetted his hands in the blood which gushed from her wounds and smeared it over his face, as did several others.
 John Walker, a civilized Indian, told Squire Barclay, of this city, of the murder, and although the young buck escaped, the police in all the surrounding towns have a description of him. The old prejudices against the Indians is again being revived.

Discussing Inauguration.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Among the Re publican residents of the District the ar arrangements for the next inauguration are already being discussed. It has been the custom to organize committee of citizens, which appoints sub-committees to take charge of the various details, such as decoration of the city, the inaugural parade, the ball, fire works, the care of visitors, etc. To meet the expenses of the entire demonstration the con- tributions of citizens and the sale of ball tickets have been in the past the only sources of revenue. The amount usually collected and disbursed for inauguration expenses by the citizens committee is between S35, 900 and $4O.0O0 No public building being available it may be necessary to erect temporary building for the inauguration ball on the White lot. It would cost about $2O, ,OOO.

Was Not Approved by the People.
 LONDON Nov. 10.-Lord Salisbury, speak ing at the guildhan last night, on the occa- sion of the lord mayors banquet, said he was prepared to deny that the government yielded to it's opponents on any question of policy. It had never been more confident of the advancement of its policy, and he hon. estly believed that that policy could be ex- ecuted. England, he said, had perhaps no ticed the popular institutions which existed westward. The events in America would add more to the history of electioneering than to the history of politics. [Laughter1
 If there was any complaint against the statesmen at Washington, it did not involve the two nations, since the action of the Washington statesmen had not apparently been commended by or received the approval of the American people.
 The government had done much he said to restore the financial equilibrium in Egypt, but the security of the frontier was still u1a- achieved. Five great powers maintained 12, 900 of armed men. That fact did not suggest that England ought to diminish her confidence in the maintenance of peace, but amid such preparation England must not re- main unprepared. If England's commercial community felt that England's power to pro- tect them was insufficient, their terror there- at would cause a greater loss to the country than would any expenditure to maintain oopf5aooa

OUR NATIONAL GUARD.
Adjt. Gen. Drum Compliments Its Present Organization and Makes Some Valuable Suggestions-Uniforn,A Arms and Shoes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-In his annual re- port Adjt. Gen. Drum makes a statement of the details made of regular army officers to in- spect state militia encampmentS and the re- ports of these inspecting officers. Upon this subject he says:
 ''The presence at the several state encamp- ments of members of over sixty regiments, ten independent battalions and twenty troops of cavalry or batteries of artillery, repre- senting from 70 to 75 per cent. of the total strength of those organizations, evidences marked interest and steadily increasing ap- preciation of the value of a well regulated militia as the main reliance of free people for national defense The regularly organized and uniformed active militia of the several states which in 1885 aggregated S4, 739, reached 92, 734 in 1886, increased to Il, ,S37 in the following year, and July ?, 1888, repre- sented an available force of 106, ,S14 men.
 "A careful perusal of these reports leads me to make the following remarks and sug- gestions: The personnel of the inspected or ganizations is excellent, and no better ma terial could be found anywhere to make good soldiers. The officers are generally intelligent and fairly up in tactical knowledge, while a general desire is shown to learn. Drill and discipline, generally fair, in some instances excellent; arms and equipments, except in few instances, good but not of uniform pat tern-a very serious defect with regard to arms, but which it is confidently expected will be remedied i'll the near future, conse- quent on the largely increased appropria- tions by congress Much attention should be given to company and battalion skirmsh drills Obviously impracticable except at campS, as while movements in masses will of course be always required in active service beyond the range of musketry, the battles of the future will be fought necessarily in open order formation. For the greater comfort of the men in drill ing and marching, it would be well if a suit able shoe of uniform pattern, were made part of the equipment, to be worn only when on military service. Instruction ir military signaling should be made part oi the education of the troops. A knowledge of the code and use of the flag is easy ot attainment and the instruction of small squad-say two non commissioned officer! and four privates-in each company would prove of much practical advantage. II small encampments it is suggested that two ! guards mounting daily (twelve hours each would afford greater opportunity for in 1 struction in this important duty. With { ! view to the troops in camp securing thu
 largest measure of benefit from the presenc
 thereat of officers of the regular army as in Structors, l beg to recommend that for larg
 encampments future details provide on ! officer to act assistant adjutant general t, the command and one to each regiment"

FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
The Republicans Seem to Have a Work ing Majority-West Virginia Still in Doubt-Latest Election News.

Doubt-Latest Election News.
 NEW YoRK, Nov. 10.-All the great Democratic journals now concede that the Republicans will have a majority in the Fifty-first congress, but all differ as to the size of the majority. The Republican Press makes the following estimate:
 The next congress will surely be Republi- can in both branches. West Virginia and Delaware will elect Republican senators. Riddleberger will be replaced by Senator elect Barbour, of Virginia, q Democrat Thus on thh 4th of March next the senate will stand forty Republicans to thirty-six Democrats, and Vice President Morton will not be sole arbiter between the parties.
 The latest and revised returns of congress men-elect, placing all the doubtful districts in the Democratic ranks, still give the Re publcans a majority of thirteen ill the house, as the annexed table shows. But the Repub- lican majority will probably reach a much higher figure. There are districts in Vir- ginia, West Virginia, California and In diana which cannot be decided until the official count is made Of these the Republi- cans are sure to gain four or five Even if they should lose them all their majority would remain as below:

WHAT MADE THE WATER BAD.
Child Murder,rs Used Reservoir a
 Depository for Corpses.

MONTREAL, Nov. 1O.-A special dispatch from St Ambroise de Ia Junne Larette, town ten miles below Quebec, says that com plaints had been made recently concerning the condition of the city reservoir water, and the authorities finally resolved to empty the water works to find out the cause. The task was commenced few days ago, and when completed to the great astonishment of the engineer and workmen the remains of eleven children were discovered at the bottom of the reservoir, in an advanced state of decompo- sition.
 The authorities of the locality, who have been apprised of the facts, are at loss to know who are the mothers or who the au- thors of the murders, as the inquest has re- vealed that every one of the children had been born alive and had breathed for several hours at least. The police suspect certain factory girls, but have not as yet sufficient proof to make clear case against any one of them

Senator German afterward said that he was surprised to find the president in such appar- ent good humor over his defeat. The presi- dent had 10 fault to find with the conduct of the campaign. He seemed to think that the people did not fully grasp the situation so far as the reduction of the tariff was concerned.
