Wisconsin. The election in Dakota mad
been fair, orderly and peaceable. All who
voted had their votes counted and there was
q majority Of over 5000 in favor OF dividing Ig
Dakota. What party necessity was II, ne
asked, which, in the face of vote like that

Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, said he
would have preferred the bill considered
In committee Of the whole, item by Item,

tunity would not present itself to this Con-
grsss, II the tariff bill be taken up, occupying
eight, ten or twelve weeks. None OF the ap-
preparation bills, except the Military Acade-
my bill, has been yet considered. In view Of
this fact, it would appear clearly to practical

SKowHKGAN, April 16.-The State con-
yention is some time. distant yet, but the Re-
publicans of Somerset have the day and date
full in mind, and they are getting into mind
the names of the men whom they are to
choose between at Portland. Somerset will
not probably send nnited delegation Tor
anyone. Mr.. Cleaves has many enthusiastic
friends here, and so has Governor Marble,
and the strife for support kwill probably be
principally between these two. About
evenly divided, should say it would be-"
said prominent politician of Skowhegan
today, "but you know there is some time yet
before convention" The enthusiastic and
aggressive character of Mr.. Cleaves's sup
port is an element which makes any prophe-
sy of the ultimate divisions of the Somerset
delegates very uncertain.

The President Again at Work Veto

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The President
today returned to the Senate, unsigned, ac is
granting pensions to Hannah r. Landon,
Betsy Mansfield and Laura A. Wright. The
acts are vetoed on the ground that the deaths
did not result from injuries received during
the war, or sickness incident to army service,
and, until it is established as policy that all
soldiers widows shall be pensioned. it is un-
fair and unjust to make exceptions in favor
of only such as procure the passage of special
