The DakOta Legislature Wants the
Governor Bounced.

WOtGIAOI AbOtAACCus
BISMARCK, OAK, February 10-In his
message to the House Of Representatives
Governor Church yesterday attacked his
predecessor bitterly and the Legislature
returned the attack with equal warmth
and then postponed their final answer
till Monday to get it in better shape.
After sending in his message he
closed up his office, which is
considered as direct snub by
the Legislature then in session, and
could not be found by the officers OF the
House. AS his message was considered
very insulting, there has been much talk
about the matter. and indications of
action looking to his prompt removal by
the incoming President are very pro-
nounced. 1t is held that his closing his
Office while the Legislature was sitting is
sufficient ground for asking for his i'm
mediate dismissal. Representative
Jones says he will offe- resolution on
Monday asking President Harrison to
remove Governor Church at O'Clock in
the afternoon on March 4th.

No QUESTION but there is a de-
cided improvement in the tone of
business in all this section. Deal
ers in realty, with one voice, report
an increased inquiry for good prop
erty, and when buyer finds what he
wants he no longer hesitates to purchase
it at fair price. Several properties of
some magnitude have changed hands
within few days, and there are num-
ber of negotiations now pending. From
the region around come many reports
of a similarly gratifying nature.
San Bernardino papers report
the recent sale of the great
Muscupiabe ranch containing 6,000 acres,
for 81 900 600. This is very good price.
as high as could have been obtained for
the ranch at any time, the most exciting,
during the boom. From San Diego re-
ports reach here of a deal OF parallel
magnitude at or near Oceanside. All
that is needed is confidence and this is
being restored in its pristine strength.
Liquidation has been very largely
completed; money is plentiful and
to be had On more favorable
terms than Tor few months past, and
all signs point to a quick return of gen.
eral prosperity. This happy result might
be brought about in an hour if our bust
ness men would take hold in earnest and
work in harmony. There is no reason
why work on the Tenth.street hotel
should not be resumed Immediately.
There are many reasons why it should
be. BY the way, where is the Chamber
of Commerce and all the great things it
proposed to do?

Taxes Very Light, and all City Inn

Imperial Treasury.
Capt Armes Explains Before the Court
Martial His Position In the Beaver
Inauguration Trouble.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Chas. DENLY,
United States minister to China,ln report
to the department ef state, says the system
OF taxation in China presents some decided
contrasts 10 the systems In other countries.
Taxes outside OF Pekln are paid on arabic
land only, the tax varying with the crop
and the quality OF the soil inside the city
of Pekln thereis no tax on land, however,
or personal property. Goods passing
through the gates pay tax, but are exempt
from taxation afterwards. The only tax
on land and houses In Pekln
Is on the sale OF real es-
tate, ten per cent being charged
on the price obtained for the property sold,
There is Also tax resembling license fees.
Outside OF Pekin, Chinese subjects are liza
BILE to be called on 10 perform certain duties
whenever the emperor passes through
their districts. but this duty may be avoided
by the payment OF small tax. All the
money spent on public account In Pekin
comes from the imperial treasury, and the
expenditure Is not limited 20 the funds
raised by taxation within the city. The
bulk OF the people In pekin pay no taxes
whatever. The man who owns his house
and lot aud his implements Of labor enjoys
his earnings without toll or deduction. The
minister closes with the following com
ment ON Chinese taxation as contrasted
with the system of taxation In the United
States. GLOW different this condition In
from that Of our own cities, where some.
times per cent on high valuation Is ex-
acted for public purposes. To the absence
OF taxation OF the body OF the people may
well be ascribed the permanence OF the
government and Of the tranquility and con
tentment OF the Chinese race. This lesson
OF the national, state, county, township and
city Indebtedness piled mountain hieh, the
lesson must now be valueless 10 the United

THE EXPECTED HAPPENS.
Onicers of the Danmark Feared tn
Steamer Would Not Reach America

Oncers of the Danmark Feared the
Steamer Would Not Reach America
NEW YORK, April 22-Olaf wuglund,
one OF the few English speaking people In
the party OF the Danmark's passengers,
which arrived here to-day from Phila-
delphia, said before the accident occurred
one Of the Norwegian immigrants told him
he had overheard a conversation in the Of
ficers' quarters. One OF the ships officers
said 10 others In the apartment that he
thought the vessel would never reach New
York. Her machinery was In bad order,
and had not received the care II should
have before the steamer sailed. Her pumps
were broken, and In case Of accident they
would be found OF little service.
"pm afraid the Danmark," the officer Is
reported 10 have said, twill meet the fate
OF the Geiser." The Geiser was the vessel
OF the same line sunk of Nova Scotia by
collision with the Thingvalia about year
ago. Wuglund further said that the YES
sells coal boxes were afire on two occasions
before the machinery gave out. The first
fire occurred at ! o'clock on the night OF
March "a; the second at $50 In the after
noon of the following day. The passengers
heard of both fires, and showed more un-
easiness over these comparatively slight ac-
cidents than when the vessel became total
ly disabled. Wuglund Is loud In his praise
OF the captain and crew OF the steamer
Missouri, which rescued the Danmark's
passengers.

More Liberal Terms offered the Indians

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The act under
which the Sioux commission was yesterday
appointed is similar in general objects and
provisions and form 10 the act passed In
the trst session OF the FIttieth congress,
which the Indians rejected, chiefly because
OF the unsatisfactory price and terms OF
payment offered them for the lands TO be
ceded Hereunder The points Of difference
are summarized as follows: The Pine
Ridge reservation TO be extended east eigh-
teen OF twenty miles and the Rosebud res
eryation correspondlngly reduced on the
west fiandreau. Sioux who may elect not

OF allotments, instead OF iifty cents as pre-
viously provided. The quantity of land
20 be allotted TO the heads OF families
of the Sioux nation on their diminished
reservation is double the quantity previ-
ously provided. AllOlments In severalty
are not 20 be compulsory, except as to or
phans, without the consent OF a majority of
the male adults of the tribe. Every allotee
is made citizen Of the United States, and
Is given the benefit Of ana made subject to
the laws OF the state or territory within
which he resides. Heads Of families who
desire 10 take allotments on settled lands
will receive $40 acres instead Of 100. and
the Poncas get double the quantity on their
own reservation they would be entitled
10 under the former act. Horses and mares
are TO be substituted for oxen In the dlscre-
tion OF the secretary OF the Interior In the

fund Ii 10 be expended for the benefit OF
the Indians or distributed among them.
Religious societies must pay SIPS

want instead OF 80 cents. Coded lands
are 20 be sold ~ settlers at the rate of 81 25
for the first three years, at rs cents for the
next two years, 50 cents for the next five
years, and then the government Is 10 pay
TOR the remainder at the rate OF 80 cents an
acre. The United States will pay 81 25
