Senator Dawes Makes Some
Changes in the Sioux Reserva-
ton Bill.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 10. - Senator
Dawes reported favorably, with amend
ments, the bill for opening the Sioux
reservation, which passed the house the
house the 7th inst. He changes the
section in relation to the Flandreau In
dians. that they can take lands on the
reservation if there is not enough for
allotments in Moody county. The time
by which the president can hold the
title in trust for the Indians is extended
to ten years. 1t inserts sections reaf-
firming the allotment law, which was
stricken out by the house, and strikes
out the Clifford amendment con-
cerning American Island, and inserts
an amendment which is substantially
the same. 1t gives pair instead of a
yoke of oxen, and gives also yoke and
chain. 1t strikes out the school house
section. This is regarded as a radical
error, and the house conference COM
mittee will insist upon the retention of
the clause. 1t is presumed that as soon
as Dawes has this point explained to
him he will consent to reinSert the
clause. Friends of the measure in the
house are inclined to agree substantially
Dawes amendment. The senator is ac-
lively and earnestly endeayOring to Sc
cure time for consideration of the bill
in the senate, and hopes to have it up
by Thursday,

CREATED SURPRISE.
A Wealthy Dakota Man Arrested
for Malicious Prosecution.

Special to the Globe
FARGO, Dak., March 19.-E. W.
Wickersham, well-knOwn in Fargo and
Cass county, was arrested and lodged In
Jail to-day on body execution sworn
out by Alex Miller. The facts which
led to Mr.. Wickersham's arrest are in
substance these: Mr.. Wickersham,
three years ago. rented one of his farms
near this city to Alex Miller. In the
fall Mr.. Wickersham had Miller ar
rested on the charge of selling mort
gagged property. Miller was acquitted
and in turn brought suit against Mr..
Wickersham On the charge of malicious
prosecution, but in the meantime Mr..
Wickersham had disposed of nearly all
00W and left the territory. A body
execution was thereupOn issued against
him, but which could not be served
until to-day, as this was his first return
to the territory since leaving it. Mr..
Wickersham was seen in the Jail this
evening, but said he had not made up
his mind what course he would pursue
in the matter, as he had been taken
completely by surprise. AS Judge
Mcconnell has gone East and will re-
main some time, and as no other judge
will be in Fargo under a week or ten
days, it looks as if Mr.. WickerSham
would have to remain in his present
quarters several days. The nearest
judge before whom a writ of habeas
corpus can be sued is Judge Francis, of
Bismarck. Mr.. Wickersham was one
of the early-day settlers in the Red
River valley and reported to be worth
at the time of his departure in the
neighborhood of S225,OOO, mostly Da-
kota real estate, and his incarceration

WINNIPEG, Man., March 19.-An OF
tawa dispatch states that the way
which Greenway and Martin have been
acting for the last twenty-four hours
leads one to to suspect something was
wrong. Things have been said in GER
tain papers which embarrassed the del
egatiOn, and caused them to fight shy of
newspaper men. Ten minutes ago,
after another strenuous effort to dis
cover what was On the tapis, a news
paper representative, purely by little
incident at the Russell house Office, dis
covered that Greenway and Martin will
leave for Winnipeg at o'clock this
evening. Pursuing the clue it was
discovered, on the best possible author
ity, that they have been thoroughly dis
gusted for the past couple Of days. and,
after mature consideration, they de-
cided to put up with Sir Johns pecca-
dilloes and sophistries no longer, but to

in the strongest possible shape, and at
the present writing they are engaged in
Mr.. Greenway's private room in the
Russell house preparing for vigorous
protest in the form of a state document,
which will be sent to the secretary of
state before they leave. What has in
censed them very highly is the fact that
representations were made to them that
the delay in settling the difficulty was
due to the absence of Van Horne, who
was expected to arrive from the North
west to-day. He did arrive, but passed
right through, never stopping. over to
say "good day" to anyone. This straw
broke the camel'S back, and the dele
gates will assuredly start tonight, and
in future rely upon a united province at
their back to build the road, even should
the Dominion government insist upon
it's present course. They have all along
felt that Sir John should have had his
propositions ready when they came
down and be prepared to
TREAT WITH THEM PROMPTLY.
Ashdown, eX-president of the Winni-

East last night, and being asked if a set
tIement of the disallowance question
was likely to take place, replied: "YeS;
the Canadian Pacific road authorities do
not appear to be very amiable over the
prospects, but am of the opinion that
the result will be beneficial to all. There
was considerable talk over the prospects
of rebellion in Manitoba if. the ques-
ton was not settled, and it probably had
some weight with the government, as it
was felt that Canada could not stand a
repetition of the expense of 1885. Lord
Landsdowne has evidently taken very
general feeling that some intimation
from the imperial government had been
received. Hon. Mr.. Greenway's firm
stand and plain statement that no COM
promise would be thought of had good
effect. He was firm, but not offensive"

INTRODUCED BY RICE,
One Days Work of Hard w ork-
ing Congressman.

SPECIAL to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 19-COngress-
man Rice introduced resolutions of the
Lake Carriers association, urging the
passage of the bill appropriating money
for the improvement of the Sault Ste.
Marie lock and approaches. The petit
TONERS state that commerce through the
ship canal and lock is increasing rap
idly, and should the present rate be
continued two years the estimated ca
pacity of the present lock will have
been reached. Immediate and liberal ap-'
preparations are needed for the cOmplet-
ing of new lock, to avoid the crippling
of the commerce of the great Northwest.
They urge the appropriation of $4, ,500,
600 for these improvements. AprOpOS
of the memorial, private information in
dicates the appropriation of $7,000,OO0
in the report of the house committee ON
rivers and harbors. Mr.. Rice also intro
duced resolution from the same assO-
citation opposing the bill for better
protection of human life on merchant
steam vessels, and that it should be con-
demned as unreasonable, calculated
greatly to enhance the dangers which it
is OStenSibly the purpose of the bill to
avert. Also resolutions from the same
association against the passage of the
bill which fOrbidS any steamer to leave
port without full complement of Ii
censed officers. He also presented reso-
lutions of the st. Paul Jobbers' union in
opposition to any legislation tending to
prohibit or restrict the transportation of
merchandise and grain over Canadian
roads by citizens of the United States.
The petitioners believe such legislation
will favor the transportation of our COM
mOdities over foreign routes. Also
resolution of the Mankato board of
trade asking to have linseed and linseed
Oil stricken from the free list. The pc
titioners state the reduction of revenue
by placing the same on the free list is
trifling and Insignificant, but will open

DENVER, Col, March 19.-The insane
jealousy of Charles Sweighart. Ger
man about forty years of age, was the
cause of a tragedy about noon to-day,
which resulted in the murder of George
Kreiner and the suicide of Sweighart.
The latter was divorced from his wife
two years ago in this city, since when
he has been residing in Utah. He re-
turned from there this morning and
went to boarding house, kept by his
former wife, three miles from the city,
and demanded breakfast. The woman
refused, saying her attorney advised
her to have nothing to do with him.
lie Immediately drew a revolver and
fired three shots at her without effect.
The woman ran screaming from the
house, Sweighart following her. She
jumped into a hack standing in front of
the door, in which the man had driven
to the house. The driver put whip to
the horses and drove rapidly away, but
not before the insane man had fired
three shots into the carriage, neither
of which harmed the woman.
lie then returned to the house
and opened fire on Charles Realm
and George Kreiner. two board
ers who had entered the house. Reahm's
right arm was broke and Krener re-
ceived ball through the temple and
died instantly. Sweighart then pointed
the revolver at his own head and sent a
ball crashing through his skull, seat
tering his brains and bones all over the
room. The murdered man had boarded
with the Sweighart family for ten
years, and the opinion is that the latter
thought improper relations existed be-
tween Mrs. Swelghart and Krener,
which so worked upon his mind that il
drove him to the deed. The woman de-
nies that any relations of the kind ex-
listed between them.

MASON CITA, To-, March 19.-The
strike on the Iowa Central is assuming
a serious financial aspect. One hun
dred and ninety brotherhood men are
out of employment. All men connected
with the road, except station agent, an
operator and one section man to each
section, are now idle. In all prObabil-
ity 200 men find nothing to do. Three
passenger trains are running each way
daily, and probably these will not be
interfered with. The management of
the Milwaukee & st. Paul in this city
are expecting trouble. and rumOr is
afloat that strike will be declared on
that road at 9 a. m. A 20" car which
has been standing in the yard for sew
eral days, and which has proved
source of annoyance to the brother
hood, was this evening sidetracked and
orders were given to let it remain until
all strikes were over. There is great
deal of stock in this section ready for
shipment, but under the present cir
cumstanceS none dare run the risk of
shipping.

THEY ARE NOT YET OUT.
Little or No Change in the Strike
Situation in st, Paul.

Little or No Change in the Strike
Situation in ST. Paul.
The brotherhood engineers were re-
markably reticent on strike topics yes
terday, though their interest never
seemed to flag a particle. There were
absolutely no developments in st. Paul,
and this may be properly termed, in the
language of a brotherhood man, the
quiet that precedes the storm. The ''fa-
tal'' twenty-fOur hours expire tonight
and as another engineer remarked, You
won't have to hunt for news then, for it
will be thick enough to fly to yOu.''
A feeling of uneasiness pervaded rail-
way circles throughout the day, and the
officials expected something serious to
turn up. Wild rumOrs were flying
around that the Chicago, Milwaukee "
st. Paul was as deep in the mire as the
st. Paul & Duluth, and rather deeper
than some others. One railroad man in
the union yards said:
Il rather think the st: Paul & Duluth
will be the first, the Milwaukee next,
and the Manitoba third"
AT the meeting of the brotherhood
last night the teeth seemed more firmly
set than ever, though the result would
not be given away. Something OF un-
usual importance is expected to trans
pire to-day: this much is told by the en-
gineers. Time will tell.
There will be another meeting at the
hall tonight.
OFFICIALS ARE NOT ALARMED.
The attention of General Manager
Marvel, of the Manitoba road, was
called to the statements in the morning
papers in regard to the probability that
the engineers and fremen on the Mani
toba would go out in day or two. He
stated in reply that there was not a
word of truth IN the statement. 1.-The
men are all at work switching at both
Minneapolis and st. Paul." said he,
land everything is satisfactory, so far
as knaw. There is no more reason to
believe that strike is to take place on
our road now than there was to believe
that one would have taken place six
months ago."
Mr.. Fisher, of the st. Paul & Duluth,
when his attention was called to the
matter positively denied it, and said that
all the men on the st. Paul ~ Duluth
are perfectly satisfied, and do not claim
that any road is violating its agreement.
Mr.. Hanley, of the st. Paul q Kansas
City road, said that through mistake
there had been little trouble on his
road. Saturday two or three OF the st.
Paul & Kansas City cars had been sealed
with the Burlington q Quincy seal. 1t
was plain, however, that 1t was mis-
take, and as soon as it was explained to
the men they were perfectly satisfied,
and everything is running smoothly
now.

BELL THE VICTOR.
The Supreme Court Hands in q
Decision in the Telephone Cases

The Supreme Court Hands in a
Decision in the Telephone Cases.
WASHINGTON, March 19-Justice
of the supreme court in the telephone
case at noon. Before he had proceeded
far it became evident that the Bell peo-
pie had won victory. In considering
the question of the alleged anticipation
of Bells invention by the telephone of
Refs, in Germany, the court holds that
Refs discovered a means of transmitting
musical tones and nothing more. Bells
patent, being for the process or art of
transmitting speech, would have been
Just as valid even if he had used the ap-
paratus of Refs in developing it. The
court holds that the apparatus of Refs
was not successful in transmitting
speech, and that his invention was not
in any respect an anticipation of
the discovery which was made by Bell.
All the points in all the cases were de-
cided in favor of Bell. Justice Bradley
read an opinion dissenting from the de-
cision of the court. Justices Field and
Harlan also dissent, and Justices Gray
and Lamar did not sit in the case. The
Bell patents are, therefore, sustained
by majority of one, the court standing
four to three. Justice BlatchfOrd, in re-
viewing the charge of fraud and collus-
ion in the patent office, by means of
which, Bell, it is alleged, obtained sur
reptitiouS information with regard to
the inventions of his rivals, and then
amended his own specifications, held
that there was not the slightest evidence
In support of this charge. OF to cast the
least reflection upon the integrity of
Bell or his attorneys. AS to the Draw
baugh cases the court holds that the
forces of the testimony showing that
Drawbaugh had telephone in use be-
fore Bell, is completely broken by his
own conduct and the Indifference which
he manifested in regard to his alleged
invention until years after Bells tele-
phones we're known to the whole world.
The Drawbaugh claim is decided to be
unSuStained.
