This is o condition of public mind not

the almost solid opposition OF the north

Here is an encouraging scrap of infor-
nation in the form of Washington
special--about the best we have seen in
favor OF she proposition that the demo-
cratic house will do something for Dako.
to this winter:
Delegate Toole Of Montana, who has
Just arrived in the city, seems to think
there ls strong reason to believe that the
coming session OF congress may take nI
the bills admitting new states and pass
them. He says there is no reason in the
world why the democrats of the fftieth
congress should not admit Dakota Cd
two states and Montana and Washington
territory. Delegates Clifford, Toole and
Voorhees,, who are ell in town, are going
to work TO impress this view upon thu
house, and as Toole and Voorhees, are
both democrats they may succeed
Nearly ell the democratic members O
congress who have talked upon this snb.
ject seem to think il would be foolish
and ungracious to further let this matter
drag and several mem bers contend that
the democrats might in that way steal a
certain amount OF republican thunder
which is being stored up for the fifty
first congress. Springer, who is here
hes been good enough to say that he viii
throw no obstacles in the way of the con.
sideration of the bills if the house viii
take up his bills; but as he has very
strong desire to get the Oklahoma bill
through first, it ls barely possible ths'
he may delay matters IN that way. Dele.
gate Dubois OF Idaho, who has been re.
elected, reached here last night, and is
auite'disposed to ask admission for Da-
kota.

The Kataer,R Condition

London special: The reports OF the
confinement OF the emperor OF Germany
to his apartments, with severe cold
have revived the stories prevalent here
some time ago of the yenng monarch'e Z
scrofulous condition, and the imminence
of his succumbing to disease similar
to that which terminated the life of hle
father.
From private dispatches received du,
ring the last tew days, ss we'll as from
correspondence giving what purporteo
to be accurate information as to the
actual condition OF the health OF EN-
reror William, covering the last fort
night, il is gathered that the German
throne is threatened with another alb
dIcstion through the operation OF the
laws Of nature within the next year, and
it is asserted that the absolute facts can
not be much longer withheld from the
public.
Almost Immediately upon his soces-
sion to the throne, Emperor William,
never regarded as q robust man, al
though appearing lin padded uniform as
OF fine physique and in excellent form
began series OF visits to his imperial
aud royal brethren, the exactions ol
which would have impaired the powers OF
much stronger man than he. Moreover
it is stated that upon several occasions
covered by the period OF his journeys
and stoppages at the various capitals
visited, the young emperor permitted
himself to indulge inordinately in strong
drink, q practice 60 which he was NOT ad
dioted prior TO his assumption OF i'm
perial power. To this indulgence and
and its consequent effects. are sscribed
many of his lspses in filial duty toward
his mother, which in man in the
ordinary walks of life, would have beer
characterized. and Justly TOO, as the actt
OF man OF conspieuousiy brutal in
stincta, and also much OF his intemper-
anca OF speech with reference to vita,
political questions.
That the emperor's constitutional all
ments have been very much aggravated
by over-exertIon and oyer.indulgsnce
there can be no doubt, and the sugges-
tion that he is now, or upon the verge
of, suffering from complaint from
which few OF the Hohenzollerns OF sht
later generation have been entirely free

Washington SPECIAL: Ihe Indiana
polls pilgrims whose opinions are OF
value, all say that while the president
elect has inclinations, he has not decided
anything definitely regarding his cabinet
or his policy, and will not do SO until he
has heard from all the leading republi-
cans and has had time to reflect upon the
information and advice they give him
He keeps tab in o note book OF sugges-
tions that are made, not all of course,
but those that come from men whose
opinions are OF value, and points that
strike him as important. He is IN the
attitude of attention and questions all
his visitors on topics that are in his
mind. One OF the points upon which he
always asks the views OF his visitors is
the proprlety OF calling an extra session
OF congress, He makes no secret of his
own opinion, that there shoald be re-
vision OF she tariff as soon as possible,
and does not expect that the two parties
will agree upon bill sc the approaching
session. Whetherit is best 70 wait for

whose advice General Harrison has asked,
the business interests OF the country re-
qnire that the tariff question should be
settled as soon as possible, and he is re-
ported to agree with them. Another i'm.

I'VE are going to try very hard to pass

tories of Washington, Montana, Dakota
and New Mexico, and we shall certainly
psss the Oklahoma bill at once. The
next house will undoubtedly be repub-
lican by small majority, and / suppose
the republicans OF both the house and
the senate would have no objections to
strengthening that majority. The ter
rtories could be states III tim 10 to elect
senators and representatives TO the

ably block matters for awhile. am in

am, and have been, IN favor of the cd
mission OF those four territories on q
broader ground than that of politics. ]
