a FIGHT IN DAKOTA.

BISMARCK, Oak, Jan. 2S.-There is a
fight now existing between Governor
Church and the territorial legislature. 1t
now all turns on appointments for the
next two years and the legislature being
Republican wishes to prevent the appoint
ments being made by the present Demo-
cratic governor. Governor Church ia
equally desirious of making the appoint
ments and the fight is being waxed along
the line. The appointments already made
have been postponed by the committee I'M
til new administration In the territory.
The governor has the veto power and
promises to use it against the legislature
if they continue to oppose him. He has so
far got in a number OF vetoes and will
get in more before the end of the
session He demands strict regard
for the letter of the law in the matter of
appropriations and has seen two bills
passed by an almost unanimous vote over
his veto. The legislature has limited at
improper methods in the management of
some of the institutions and irregularity
in a former appropriation for the insane
asylum and wants to have an investiga
ton, but the governor tried TO say nay"
and they passed the bill over his veto. The
latest scheme to defeat the Democratic
governor is to adjourn the legislature I'M
Ill President Harrison shall have appoint
ed new governor.

HEAVY "INSUlTSv OFFERED.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. 2S.-There
was little done by either house today
other than balloting for United State sena-
tor. Delegate Shelton, from Lincoln
county, presented the following:
To the honorable speaker and members
of the house of delegates of West Nir-
ginia: / feel it my duty to make known
the fact before and since the assembling
of this legislature Ihave been approached
by corrupt propositions which were made
to affect my action as a delegate, and
since the meeting OF the legislature have
been approached with an offer of money in
consideration of abandonment of my po-
litical convictions and casting my vote for
a Republican for United States senator. l
feel impelled by sense of duty to disclose
this fact to my associates in this honora-
bic body in order that the house of dele
gates may give such consideration to the
matter as the gravity of such actions in
its Judgment may demand"

MOoRE's SHORTAGE.
All Sorts of Rumors Afloat-The Defaulter
Still at Large

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2S-Interest in the
great Moore defalcation continues almost
undated here. New and startling ru-
mors are constantly being circulated and
telegraphed abroad. 1t is now reported
that Moore's shortage will reach dizzy
six figures-that a round million is the
size of the hole he made in the Connecticut
Mutual's surplus. This statement is pub
lished here this evening as fact, but
careful inquiry fails to verify it. On the
other hand, Winfield Miller, the trustee
to whom Moore transferred his
property, and who is now act
ing as the representative of the
company here, states positively that the
defalcation does not exceed the first
figures given by President Green, 500,
of which SlO0, 900 has been made good by
Moore's property transfers. AS the IN
vestigation of Moore's business and books
is being made under the immediate per
sonal supervision of Mr.. Miller, he GER
tainly has authority and means of know
ing the extent of the shortage which
seems unQuestionable.
The rumor which was industriously
spread this morning to the effect
that Moore had fed the country
late Saturday night and was
equally false as Moore ate his Sunday din
ner with prominent gentleman in this
city and divides his time between his home
and his Tanglewood farm, six miles east OF
town. Naturally, he does not come down
street very often. He was seen at his resi-
dence this afternoon by reporter, but de-
clined to be interviewed. Apparently no
fear of arrest troubles him. A gentleman
who has great deal of inside knowledge
of the operations of Moore states positively
that there will be no arrest.

4 GENERAL TIE-UP.
The Knights Of Labor Strike on Nearly
Every New York City Car Line.

NEW YORK. Jan. 29.-The Tribune this
morning viii print this: 1t was resolved
last night by ID. A. No. 226 to tie up at
o'clock this morning every surface rail-
road in this city except the BECKER street
and Third avenue lines. For two weeks
local assemblers belonging to Division
No. of national assembly district, No.
226 have been balloting to determine
whether to tie up the union roads IN this
city or not.
Last night the last two ''locals' decided
the case by voting in favor OF a tie up.
Ever since January Z, representatives
of the men have been trying to get
the varions companies to sign an agree
aiment for 1889, but in consequence of an
agreement between these companies myde
at the Murray Hotel the week before no
settlement was arrived at. The executive
board of district assembly No. DE
called in the state board of arbitration,
but Commissioner Donovan was informed
that the companies had taken q position
and would stand by it. In a letter to the
public the district assembly executive
board says:
I'VE have decided today to tie up vari.
Gus roads on which we are employed until
our employers come to fair understand
board. We submitted December 81
1888, a form of an agreement fos
their favorable consideration with a
letter stating that the executive board
would call on January for an answer.
In the meantime the companies met at
the Murray Hill hotel and decided
to reject the proposals or the
men and not recongniZe their rep
resentativ. When the executive
board called at Offices of the variou;
companies in many cases the agreement
was returned without any reason being
assigned therefore and in other cases in
definite replies were given. Between 5000
and 5000 men are thrown out OF work by
this tie I'D

eleven months ending November 80, 1888,
which show the following results:
Mileage, Atchison system proper, 3,019.7e
miles; gross earnings, 81, 297 ,46o; expenses,
677 per cent, s675,725 net earnings, 81, 623,

Der 81, 1888, was $4,000 The deficiency
for the eleven months ending November 30,
1888, made the general income surplus to
of various sundry surplus accounts
swelled this amount SO that the
total general surplus November 80 was
50, 500, 633. The estimated net profit from
operations, after all charges for the month
OF December, is S150,G00.
The total net deficiency Of the company
for the period of twelve months to Deem
Der 81, Including actual figures Of Novem-
Der 80 and December estimated, is 81, 40S,
1884. From actual statements to
November 80, and proximates for De-
cember, the auxiliary roads of the
Atchison system inclusive of these
own jointly, will show that they
have failed to earn fixed charges of all
descriptions by about s3.000,000. OF this
they contributed about 81, 100000, the re-
mainder having been advanced by the
AtchinSon company.
The Advertiser will say tomorrow in re-
gard to the Atchison report that it is I'M
satisfactory because of a mileage of about
Z, $40 miles, the report covers only 1924
miles; also that the statement varies from
that published January 2. 1889, in that the
gross earnings for the eleven months are
S277 1862 larger, expenses S55, no larger and
net earnings are SIS, 567 smaller.

HOUSE.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The call of states
for the introduction and reference of bills
was dispensed with and leave was granted
to members to file their measures with the
clerk. On motion of Mr.. Long, of Massa-
chusetts, the senate bill was passed in
creasing the pensions of soldiers and sail
ors who have lost both hands to 500 per
month. The committee on the district of
Columbia, through its chairman, Mr..
Hemphilll of South Carolina, made a
struggle to secure the floor which the rules
of the house acc3Hd to it on the second and
fourth Monday of each month, but the
committee on appropriations, under. the
leadership of Mr.. Randall, of Pennsyl-
vania, proved too formidable an antagon-
list and the house declined to consider the
district business and went into committee
of the whole (Mr. Dockery. of Missouri, in
the chair on the sundry civil appropria-
tions bill.
The pending amendment appropriating
$3.50, 900 for investigating the best method
of irrigating the arid region was agreed to.
During the debate on an amendment ap-
propriating $4,000 for educational pur-
poses in Alaska the condition of affairs in
in that country was discussed and several
members favored the appointment OF a
committee of inquiry.
Pending final action on the bill the COM
mittee arose and the house adjourned.

Times and New York Herald to answer his
complaint in the action for libel or at least
limit the time was denied by Judge Pat
terscn in the supreme court today. In his
decision the judge says the orders were
properly granted. It would lie inconsistent
TO compel the defendants TO answer with
orders outstanding 20 enable them to pro
cure facts required for their answers So
long as these orders remain unreyoked
SAYS the court, the defendants time can
not be limited. The plaintiff as a non
resident, has no greater right than q
resident plaintiff who must submit TO
orders of court. The examinations do not
seem to asked in bad faith. but are asked
upon tae oaths of reputable counsel TO be
