ST. PAUL, Feb. H-lSpecial to the In
dependent IF. A. Carle, In a telegram TO
the Pioneer Press from Washington to-
night says: party lines have been broken
In the house and the cause OF the territories
Is now nearer triumphant than at any time
this session. Nothing but hnal spurt OF
flIbustering on the part OF the southern
democrats prevented the house to-day from
formally yielding every point at issue be-
tween the two parties IN the conference
committee. Two OF the three disputed
points were carried by the republi-
cans with the aid OF twelve or
fifteen democrats led by Mr.. Cox;s vote
on the third was delayed by parliamentary
obstruction, but II must come tomorrow,
and can only result IN favor OF the repub-
licans. The fate Of the territories is now
In the hands of the senate and II they
are not admitted this session they will
have the republicans of that body to thank
for it. The house finally adjourned upon
an agreement TO resume voting ut HAS to-
morrow morning, the democrats promising
not TO ilibuster.
IN o one on the republican side doubts
what the result will be. The democratic
leaders. including Springer and Cox, are
seer city or openly in favor Of the conces-
sion. No caucus has been called, so far as
Is known, and II one were IL would prob
ably be fruitless. The sincere resistance
is confined TO about fifty members, mostly
TO southerners, who engaged In tilibuster-
ing to-day, and they are pledged to permit
q vote tomorrow. In all human probabil-
ity the house conferees will be instructed
to recede from all the serious points In
dispute, and the conference CON-
mittee will meet after to-mor-
row with nothing except partisan
reluctance on the senate side In the way of
IN agreement There have been plain
signs within the last few days that il is
weakening, and that bill providing for
the admission OF four new states by execu-
tive proclamation before congress meets In
December will go to the president for his
signature-or veto-before the 4th OF
March. This is the first fruit Of the elec-
tion over which the people OF Dakota threw
up their hats last November"

CHURCHES FERRY, Oak, Feb. H-Con-
siderable excit. ment exists regarding the
half-breed situation at st John. II seems
vigorous attempts are being made by the
Rolette county officials 10 collect taxes from
such half-breeds as are alleged TO be regu-
larly taxable. Yesterday affairs culmin-
ated In direct opposition To the policy Of
the county officials, and assumed the ap.
pearancc OF an outbreak. Sheriff Flynn
and deputy made descent upon the set
tlement and succeeded nj first In making q
few collections. Later, however, the half
breeds assembled from all directions, being
joined by others from the reservation, and
pressing about the sheriff and his man, they
forced him 10 disgorge his collections. The
sheriff, realizing he was no match for the
increasing numbers OF savages, retreated 10
st. John and called upon the local militia for
assistance. Major Mckee Immediately
placed his command under arms. In the
meantime rumor states message has been
sent ~ Gov. Church requesting him 10 give
the soldiers at Fort Totem orders t0 march
10 ST. John II needed. The half breeds are
loud In their denunclation OF this attempt
10 collect taxes, OF rob them, as they say
and claim they will resist 10 the last min
ute. Sheriff Flynn has been notified that
he will be shot on sight.if he again makes
a similar attempt. The alarming part Of
the situation seems to be that large num-
ber OF the 900 half breeds on the reserya.
tion are preparing 10 take hand In the
matter and bio dshed In fesrd. The local
militia company at st. John Is marching 10
the scene Of the disturbance.
