An Interesting War Album.

In the state department at Washington
there is an album that was intended for
some Oriental potentate, but never was
sent. 1t contains the portraits of all the
Union generals as they were at the open
ing of the war: A gaunt, black haired
Mcclellan; thin, black headed, boyish
Hancock; Grant you would not know at
all, and very youthful Sherman. But
the portrait of Gen. Dan Sickles in that
book is a portrait of Gen. Sickles of to-
day, minus the crutches with which he is
forever accompanied. Whether he has a
barber call upon him every morning or
not do not know.-Julian Ralph Letter.

The Old Types Of LONELINESS.

The French realists, the arbiters Of
literary fashion, don't make their hero
ines beautiful any more. That is COM
moIIplRce, they say. Instead, they have
them changeful eyed and ''swift and
white and half perverse," with sudden,
scrpentInc movements and an exciting
ferocity OF disposition. What with our
passion tossed French cousins and uur
bucolic English sisters, all run TO size, the
duty Of preserving the old types Of love-
illness falls on us. Weshould have special
preserves for it, as we have for the buffa-
loes in the Yellowstone park and rs they
do for salmon at Tadousac.-Eliza Put

THE OMNIBUS BILL. :"

WASHINGTON, March 4-Represen-
ta;ive Springer, on be half Of the ma
rriiy of the committee on territories,
uts prepared report which he will
present to the house. recommending
the passage of what is known as the
''omnihns" bill, to enable the people
of Dakota, Wa hington, Montana
aad New Mexico to form state gov
ernmrnts aud be admitted into the
Union. Dakota, it says, has an area
of 96 596 4S0 acres, an estimated pop
nlatiou in 1887 of 56S.477 and Il tax
able property valuation of Sl57.064,
365. 1t IL conceded that In point of
population, agricultural and mineral
resources aud all other matters which
constitute state, Dakota is fully
preI 'ared for admission, and in fact,
no other territory equally we'll fitted
FOR statehood has heretofore feiled
If adm ssion into the Union. This
faiiure is attributable to the fact
that all organized effort heretofore
made In the territory have had q
division in view. Regret is express
ell that even now there are some well
disposed people in the territory who
wall insist that Dakota should not be
admitted to the Union as one state,
aud who prefer 10 admission until
division Is accomplished. Attention
is called to the fact that 24,S67, lis
acres, comprising more than one
fourth of The entiIe area of the terri-
tory is Indian reservation land, and
Excluded from the jurisdiction of the
proposed state. The climate in the
northern portion of the territory and
the character OF lands west of the
Missouri river are stated TO be such
as to preclude the possibility of
dense population in these regions.
II, however, the Indian titles should
be hereafter extinguished, and the
population become SO great as to
make single state government un--
wleldy, congress may provide for a
division into two states.
Montana has an area of 92,016,6 ,64S
acres; population estimated at 49,
600, and taxable property valuation
in 1886 of S55.076631. Indian reser-
vatlon in that territory comprise 20
5!4, ,648 acres. The area of Washing
ton territory is placed at IA, 4,796. $50
acres, CT which 4.107,557 are Indian
reservation land. The population in
November last was estin ated at 160.-
900, and the taxable property in 1887
was given at about $56. 100000, not
including railroad property.
Reference is also made to its great
mineral and lumber resources.
The area of New Mexico is placed
at 70 56S.640 acres. of wh cE $685.
225 IS comprised within Indian res
prvations- Official census of 1856
showed a population OF 134, ,161; and
the taxable property in 1856. amount
ed to 56.000,000. The growth of the
territory has been much retarded by
the unsettle condition OF land titles.
The report concludes: ''The four

THE QUESTION OF ADMISSION.

WA~HIxGrUN, March 2.-Republi
cans on the committee on territories
profess great confidence that they
can carry through their plan to di
vide Dakota. Representative Baker
OF New YorK has prepared a bill ad
mitting south Dakota as a state and
giving territorial government to
north Dakota. Republicans say that
they will get enough democratic
votes to defeat the omnibus bill pre-
pared by Springer and supported by
the democratic majority of the cons
mitiee, to admit Dakota as whole
along with Washington, Montana
and New Mexico The republican
pro ramme is TO defeat this bill, pass
Dir. Bakers bIll. and then await
further action of the committee rela
tive to other territories. The re-
yublicaus are ready to admit Wash
Ington and Montana, on petitions
presented by the people, but they
say there lave been no popular | 9
titions from New Mexico, and they
are disinclined to admit lot of people
who sannot speak the English Ian
guage North Dakota, the republi-
cans claim. has a population large
enough for state, but it cannot well
t'r admitted until after it has been
organized as territory and the peo-
Ilr given an opportunity. in some
formal manner, to express their opin
ions and 10 frame an organization for
state government If their pro
gramme is carried ont, they expect
that petitions will be sent in for the
admission of North Dakota next
winter. The population is said to be

CRUSHED ON THE TRACK.
A Man Caught Under Locomotive and
Probably Fatally Injured.

John Mcclure, a laborer who has
been employed as coal-heaver in
the Shoshone yard of the Oregon
Short Line Railway, was run over, at
that place, by the locomotive Of a
stock train, about 4 o'clock this
morning. The unfortunate man was
so drunk at the time that he did not
become sober for several hours after
the accident. A TINES reporter who
spoke to him about Z o'clock this
morning found him still so much the
worse for liquor as to be unable to
give any account Of himself.
1t is supposed that he lay down to
sleep, or fell, beside the track, and
that the locomotive caught him up.
The man was dragged about 60 feet
the groundmarks plainly showed
when he was drawn under the wheels,
and his left arm and shoulder were
crushed to y jelly. Tic was take'
