NEW YORK, Dec GA special from Wash
fngton says: A prominent citizen of Dakota,
who had mcuh TO do with removing its capt.
tai from YanSton 70 Bismarck, and who is
one of the best informed men in the territory,
SAYS that there is very little prospect of the
territory being admitted as state, either
during this session of congress or the next
Tho territory contains enough inhabitants to
warrant its being cut into two states, and
that Is the desire of the majority of its peo-
pie. They want tho territory divided on the
forty-sixth parallel This would give the
Republicans four senators and two repre-
sentatives but the interests of the proposed
new states wonld be largely in favor of tariff
reform. and il is not likely the protection
wing, which IS the dominant element in
the party, win be in a hurry to weaken its
hold on the senate by admitting four new
senator's who would be adverse to its ideas

Bill.
MINoR1rY's MISFORTUNE.
II Ia Said That the Democratic Sena'

One of the Government Counsel
Says Of the Telephone Suit.

WASHING -oS, Dec 6-The senate pro
ceetied promptly to consider the tariff bill.
Mr. Harris Dem, Tenn assuming that the
senate bin proposed as a substitute for the
Mills bin Is one amendment, moved to lay
this amendment upon the table. This was
lost by vote OF 10 yeas To % nays. The
vote was strictly partisan.
singular circumstance was that Mr..
Voorhees,, OF the minority of the finance
committed, had not made an arrangement
for pair The senators on both sides ar
ranged a pair for him.
IN conversation well known senator said
70 reporter;
The members Of the minority In the senate
are at a disadvantage in the tariff discussion,
because they are not ready to proceed. Mr..
Beck, although in the city, is stu sick man,
and there are doubts whether he will be able
to attend tho senate this winter. In fact, his
nearest friends begin To fear that his work
ing days are over Senator Voorhees, has not
taken his scat, and when last heard of was
trying n criminal case originating in the
Indian territory.
Bosides Mr. VOORHEES, has given little at
tentton 10 the tariff question in this congress,
80 far as committee work goes, and has APP
parently taken little interest in the work OF
the committee. Senator Mcpherson is here,
but lie does not represent the minority as its
views are set forth in the Mills bill. he is
protectlonist. and when elected 10 the senate
pledged himself to support protection.
The burden Of the work is thus placed upon
Senators Harris and Vance, who viii en-
deayor Immediately to determine upon some
policy as to the senate bin, upon which it Is
expected tho Democratic senator's will agree
Mr. JEFF Chandler, one of the government
counsel in the Bell telephone case, says:
''As soon as we get an official copy of the
opinion, we shall begin to prepare for trial

which the case is removed. We shall have
the right TO prepare an amended bill; we
may do 50 and we may not; cannot tell yet
Then the Bell people will have so much

Then We shall begin TO take testi-
mony. / don't mink we could get ready

rHE pARNELL CASE.
To Adjourn Friday Until Jan. l5-Mors
Testimony Taken.

Testimony taken.
LONDON. Dec. The Parnell commission
has agreed to adjourn on Friday next until
Jan. Is.
Several witnesses testified TO various cases
Of boycotting and outrages On cross-exam-
ination they said that they knew people who
had written themselves threatening letters.
They also admitted that the National league
denounced outrages. Ex-Secretary Walsh
OF the Kildermagh branch of the League or
County Mayo, testified that by direction OF
the League several persons were boycotted
for refusing to join the plan of campaign.
Sir Charles Russell, OF the Parnellite conn
sci, objected to the conclusion OF evidence re-
garding the plan of campaign. on the ground
that the plan was not included in the allega-
tions set forth by The Times. Presiding JUS
tice Hammer overruled the objection and adj
mitted the evidence. The witness was then
cross-examined by Sir Charles, who forced
him TO admit that he had been charged with
pilfering funds Of the League, and had been
expelled from that organization. He also
admitted that he had made fraudulent
claims for the windows OF his mothers house
on a glass insurance company OF which he
was the agent, and was on this account dis
charged from the agency In reply TO a
question by Mr.. Michael Davitt, Walsh said
that the police had intimated 10 him that
they could not say what might happen to
him in connection with the insurance matter
if he refused to testify before the commission
In behalf of The Times.
