The New Capital of South Dakota IL CeIe.
brating in Style.
PIERRE, S. OAK, October 3.-The scene
here tonight over the election of Pierre as
capital bids fair to outrival last night. The
evening train brought over 500 people to the
city. Passengers crowded on the top
of the cars and covered every
available space on the train. The
engine was decorated with flags and ban
hers, and flags foated from the tops and
windows of the cars. As the engine ap-
peared in sight the whistle was started, and
the train drew up to the depot amid the
cheering of 5000 people, the ringing of bells
and brass band music. As the passengers
streamed out of the cars the crowd could
hardly contain themselves.
A procession was formed and paraded the
streets for three hours, women and children
joining the throng. The town seems to have
gone mad. Last night was hideous, but to-
night beggars description. No attempt is
being made by the authorities to preserve
order. A couple of bands of Cheyenne In
dians are on the spot and add to the excite
ment. Although no serious accident oc-
Cured last night it is feared things will not
be so we'll tonight No business of any
kind was done here to-day. the people giving
themselves up to celebrating and watching
for more election news. From present ap-
pearances no one can tell when the present
state of thingswill cease.

THE OTHER SIDE.
One Reason fol. Publishing the Civil Service
List of EIigIbles.
lsPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.l

L ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
WASHINGTON, October 3.-"That is a
subject with two sides to it." Commissioner
Thompson remarked when The DISPATCH
correspondent drew his attention to the cur
rent press criticisms on the publication of
the eligible list of civil service applicants
''It is claimed that the publication OF the
list enables the persons on it to set their in
fuential friends at work upon the appoint
ing officers, and that thus, in some measure,
it combats the very object which the whole
system was designed to accomplish-the
protection of appointing officers and ap
pointees alike from the activities of the
spokesman That is all very true, but sup
pose we continued the system of keeping
the lists secret, what good would it do?
Guard these things never so carefully, some
of them will leak out in spite of everything.
"Congressmen have some means or other
of discovering where their friends stood on
the lists; for one # them would visit an ap-
pointing officer and say with perfect conf
dence: I wish you would make clerks
place TOR my friend -. He has passed
a civil service examination and stands in
such-and-such place in the male clerks
list, and the certifcations in response to
your call will include him, if you make it
now That was the sort of thing that hap
pened constantly. With the publication Of
the lists, we at least give the friends of the
humblest person on them an equal chance
in the struggle"

ABOUT POSTPONED GAMES.
President Young Quotes the Rule on the
Important Question.


Important Question.
WASHINGTON, October S-President Young
was asked tonight whether the New York club
can transfer its postponed Cleveland game from
New York to Cleveland. He replied that the
question had been raised repeatedly of late, and
he has invariably held that the Board of Direc
tors must determine what the constitution
means by an "open date" The language of Sec
tion SO is, that leach club shall play 20 cham
pionship games land no more) with every other
club. but tie or drawn game, or games pre-.
vented by rain. shall be played off on the same
grounds on the first succeeding day (not count
ing Sundays) previously agreed upon for cham
pionship games between said clubs, or days
when rain renders playing impossible, within
the dates of the same schedule series between
such clubs, if any remain open. and, if not such
game may be played off on any open date on
either grounds"
Now" continued President Young, ''there
is the baseball law on the subject and it is open
to but one Interpretation in my mind. If the
New Yorks and Clevelands go ahead and play
off their postponed games protest will in all
probability be made. Then the subject will be
referred to the Board of Directors for decision.
Under the circumstances can say nothing be-
yond what is contained in our constitution. The
result of to-day's games complicates the cham
pionship problem and naturally excitement is
running high" Mr.. Young says he has had sew
eral inquiries this subject to-day, but he has
declined to commit himself as to what consti-
tutes an open date.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPArcH.1
WASHINGTON, October 81 am not
surprised at the snarI into which the Presi-
dent has gotten himself in connection with
the appointment of Commissioner of Pen
sions" said Senator. of the United States
to THE DISPATCH correspondent to-day.
He continued:
Some time previous to the resignation of
Tanner was informed of the coming change,
and took occasion to advise both Secretary
Noble and the President to secure successor
before the resignation of the incumbent was
announced. The difficulty of filling the po-
sition in the first place. through the conflicting
been warning to them not tn again invite
such rivalry. 1t would have been quite as easy
to have discovered that Warner, of Missouri,
would not accept previous to the excitement Of
the days that followed Tanners resignation as
it was to find it out afrerward. and the whole
business could have been conducted with per-
feet quiet A commissioner might have been
fixed upon at that time with little difficulty.
Now candidate Is no sooner announced than
stories are circulated about him, false, stupid
and malicious interviews are put in his mouth,
and he is killed of. almost before he is born as
a candidate just as poor Merrill was, who
wanted the position if ever man did.
Brown, of Cincinnati, and Campbell, of Kan
sas seem to be the only candidates left, and
neither of them sizes up to the situation. The
fact Is 1t is easier to get Cabinet officer than
a Pension Commissioner. The best men will
forsake their homes and business to become
ministers of the administration, regardless of
the small pay, on account Of the honor, but
man is wanted who has the sagacity and dig
nifty of a Cabinet officer for the office of Com
missioner of Pensions, when there is really lit
tie inducement except the insignificant salary
Of 600 year.
Plenty of men with abundant ability can be
found who would accept for the salary alone,
but since the Tanner fasco the President has
been looking for soldier OF national reputa-
Jion and with standing equal to his own or his
Cabinet officers "a man like Hartranft for in
stance who was a brave General, and who has
been twice Governor of his State. Such man
might have been quietly secured previous to
the resignation of Tanner, but they have all
been scared away since then by the gossip
about the Office and the influences which sur
round it. which seem to make it impossible for
the Commissioner to please all his soldier
friends and at the same time sustain the law.
The President has my sympathy in his per-
ple1ity, for no matter who is chosen, the
chances are in favor of further trouble.

The Bostons will 60 to Washington from here
and play a weeks game there on account of
the Knights Templar gathering in that city.
Clarkson and Kelly will leave for home on
Saturday and the young members of the team

Daley will develop into a first-class pitcher.
At present he lacks control of the ball.
Pop Smith has Joined the brotherhood

his reply.
There is no truth. whatever, in the report
that Kelly is to be released after this week.

ST. LOUIS, October 3-The mission Of W.

out to-day He came here for Captain Comis-
key, and is the agent for the Philadelphia club.
He made his highest bid this morning of sl5,.
600, which is the largest offer ever made tor a
baseball player. Pittsburg made an offer of
$1,000 for Anson, for a season, but it proved to
be only a bluff. Won der Abe shook his head
and said, that as long as he had a'ball team
Comiskey would be with it Voltz goes back
with promise Of first chance, when the time
comes to dispose of the valuable captain.
The Browns suffered again to-day. Robinson
reported late, was fined $40 and took off his
uniform and left the grounds. He was then
fined $500, and threatened with expulsion if he
did not report this morning. Chamberlain
pitched SO badly that he was laid off without
pay. Ramsey saved the day.

and the majority either way will be so
small as to be almost invisible. North and
South Dakota have voted for prohibition,
while Washington has defeated the propo-
sition. Pierre is celebrating the victory in
the fierce capital contest.
HELENA, MONT. October 3.-Returns
from counties in which the result is dis
puted have not come in to-day. Park
county, which was given to the Republicans
yesterday by 800 majority, now shows only
150. The Republicans now estimate their
majority for Governor at 100, while the
Democrats claim Toole's election BY 400.
The returns from Silver Bow county, which
elects II members of the Legislature, are still
incomplete The Democrats claim 9 of
these sure, and possibly all.
The Republicans only concede six to the
Democrats. The Republicans now only
claim three majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature, while the Democrats claim
nine. The Silver Bow county returns,
which will probably be complete before
morning. will take the Legislature out Of
doubt, and probably the Governor also.
BOTH DAKoTAs DRY.
A dispatch from Bismarck, N. D., SAYS:
The Ward-McLean legislative district has
in all probability gone Democratic by q
small majority, electing William Hope Sem
ator and A. G. Nedrud Representative.
This makes ten Democrats and one Inde-
pendent Republican thus far. This number
may be increased three and probably five,
but that will be the limit.
The interest in the election returns has
shifted to prohibition and the liquor men
are willing to bet it is carried by safe ma
jority. It appears that the Democrats went
back on license, and in several counties
where Democratic candidates for the legis-
lature won they gave votes for prohibition
in consideration of votes tor members of the
Legislature. The success of prohibition is
a great surprise. It looks now as if the
highest Republican majority on the State
ticket would exceed 1900.
Some hopeful persons still claim the de-
feat of prohibition by 1000 majority. In
stanti al majority ranging from 1000 to TO-
900. The State ticket is Republican by at
least 10000. Chairman Hundly, of the

THE CAPITAL CONTEST.
A dispatch from Sioux Falls says: Sioux
Falls comedies the temporary capital of
South Dakota to Pierre. Returns up to
this h our give Pierre 16, 564, Huron II, ,528,
Sioux Falls 10,3SS. Prohibition carries by
at least 5000 majority.
A dispatch from Seattle, Wash. T., says:
Returns received from nearly every county
IN the State indicate the election of the Re
publican State ticket by 5000 majority.
The Democrats reduce the Republican ma
jority in Seattle slightly. The new Legis.
lature will have 70 Republican majority on
joint ballot. The Constitution is ratified,
and prohibition and woman suffrage de-
feated.
. 1t requires majority of the vote to select
the permanent capital East of the Cascade
Mountains North Yakima is ahead, and
west of the range Olympia leads. Neither
will have majority, and another election
will be necessary.
