Quite decided change in public SEN
timant is taking place here in reference
to the Sioux Falls constitution. There
has always been decided opposition to
it here, but since it was understood that
delegates to the convention are to be
chosen upon the minority representation
plan. the public is inclined to accept
the Sioux Falls constitution. Minority
representation Is regarded as Demo
cratic scheme. The Daily News, which
has always opposed the Sioux Falls doc
ument. announces its intention now to
support it for fear that minority repre-
sentation will cause poorer, instead of
a better, one to be framed, and because
the main features of the present one are
right and because it is satisfactory to
the Prohibitionists and.to all the aspir-
ants for the capitol.

NO CONFESSION AT ALL.
Those Who Expected One From

Neebe's expected confession, in the.
hope of securing a pardon
turns out to be no confess
sion at all. The document was re
ceived here to-day by Neebe's brother,
and after long consideration by him
and attorneys was given to the press
late this evening. Neebe in it de-
claTes himself innocent of any COM
plicity in the Haymarket tragedy.
Referring to the statement, Judges
Grinnell and Gary say that they would
sign letter to the governor in his favor
provided he made full statement of
his connection with anarchistic organ
izations, experiments with dyna-
mite, ETC., he denies knowing anything
about the matters referred to. He as
serts that so far as he knows the de
fense in his trial had no illegitimate
schemes or plans. and concludes by
saying he always maintained that the
ballot and not force was the proper
weapon of the working class.

Which wrapped her in its cloud,
And yet-it passeth all belief
And yet I was too proud!
This lady hath charm so rare
That all men seek some favor in her eyes.
She tangles hearts within her tawny hair
And taxes as right the love she still denies.

And. through his cOnstancy, enthrone
His image in her breast.
'Tis Cleo's self! Read further yet, pray.
Should he no tribute yield of earnest praise,
Give forth no sign along the public way
In commendation of her gifts and ways
Straightway her pride doth take alarm
And make imperious claim
No service then hath such charm
As honors to her name.
Her very self portrayed! And is there more?
Her wish obtained, who then can be so
sweet?
A wealth of tenderness she doth outpour
And kneels in spirit at her captive's feet,
'Twixt kisses whispers: Wilt thou not for

THE STRIKE STILL ON.
The Burlington Difficulty Is Not
Vet Over With,

-
Yet Over With.
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The Burlington
strike, which was declared one year
ago and was supposed to have been de-
clared off short time ago, turns out to
be still matter of controversy, with
prospect of the men again being or
dered out. According to the terms of
settlement all those engineers who had
not been guilty of overt acts against the
company's property were to be re-em-
ployed on the first day of the present
month. If this provision had been car
ried out more than thousand men who
have been on strike for atwelye-month
would have resumed work three weeks
ago. The men. however. claim that not
one OF the striking Burlington engineers
has yet Seen re-employed. The ques
tion is: Has the Burlington refused to
re-employ them, or have the engineers,
being dissatisfied with the terms of set
tleInent, refused to apply for workP On
this point the party Of the first part and
the party of the second part disagree.
One thing is certain, however, and that
is that the strike practically is in force
to-day as much as it was year ago.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Mai. Saunderson Interrupted by
Cries of "PigOtt."


LONDON, Feb. 26.-In the house of
commons this evening Timothy Healy
asked Home Secretary Mathews if any
steps had been taken by the govern
ment to prevent Pigott's escape from
the country. Mr.. Mathews replied that
no steps had been taken as yet, as
knowledge of his disappearance had
only Just been received; but the gov
eminent would do everything in its
power to capture him. Maj. Saunder-
SON, replying to Mr.. Morley's speech of
Yesterday, said that freedom of speech
Which the Parnellites wanted was not
allowed them because they advocated
the commission of crime. He was in
terrupted by cries of "Pigott," and re-
torted that Pigott had amply qualified
himself for member of the first home
rule ministry. Mr.. Dillon said that the
declarations of Mr.. Gladstone and his
folio wers had had more effect in pre-
venting crime than all of the govern
ment's coercion acts. Regarding the
prison garb, he said that the Irish polit-
icaI prisoners objected to wearing any
livery or garb that associated them with
forgers and thieves.
Sir. G. O. Treyelyan in the house of
commons charged Mr.. Balfour with
causing Parnellites to be arrested in
place and manner calculated to inf1ict
the greatest possible outrage upon pub
lie feeling and opinion. The govern
ment, he declared, was responsible for
the melancholy incidents that attended
the arrest of Father McFadden, and
they were especially blameable for risk
ing repetition of such incidents by the
arrest of Father Stephen. The speaker
also attacked Mr.. Balfour on the sub
ject of the treatment of political prison.
ers. In the course of speech in de-
tense of the government, Edward STAN
hope, who is member of the cabinet,
asserted that wherever the plan of cam
paign existed the amount of crime was
greatest.
..There is not a word of truth in
that" exclaimed Mr.. Dillon. Cries of
"Oh, ohn greeted Mr.. Dillon's remark.
and Mr.. Stanhope appealed to the
speaker, whereupon Mr.. Dillon chal-
lenged him to prove his statement. In
reply Mr.. Stanhope adduced statistics
showing an improvement in the condi-
ton of Ireland, which he cl2imed was
due to the governments policy.
