VARIOUS DAKOTA MATTERS.
A K


Grand Forks has been attracting Soma
especial attention recently on account Of
one Gen. A. B. Ward, who has departcd
Tor Canada, leaving a most unsavory re-
cord behind him. The fact created a sen.
sation in social and political circles in Da-
kota, which approaches a shock. Il
appears that his name is not ward. hut
Wadsworth. and that instead of coming
from Providence, Rhode Islnnd, to Dako-
tn. he fitted hither from Spokane Falls.
The fact that he was an imposter was
learned by Editor Minshlp Of the Grand
Forks Herald, whom Ward had opposed in
the contest for a seat in the council, and aa
there was no powerful affection between
them. Winship printed the following per-
sonal:

The smuggling of Chinese men and

United States territory is a very lu-
crative business at various points along
the border from Vancouver to Wil.ai-
peg. If the venture fails at one place
it is renewed at another, and o or
later tho pilgrims get in. A new trick
just discovered at Wlatcom, w. T.,
has almost taken away the breath of
the Federal officials, for they know
that it must have been very successful
for u time. The large number of
sqnaws coming into the country from
British Columbia finally attracted the
attention of m official, and he took a
party OF them to Jail. On close im
spection it was found that the creatures

PROBABLY the Oldest timber in the
world, which has been subjected to the
8 of man, is that found in the mn
Gent temple of Egypt, in connection
with stone work, which is known to he
at least four thousand years old. This,
the only wood used in the construction
of the temple, is in the form of ties,
holding the end of one stone to an.
other. When two blocks were laid in
place an excavation about an inch deep
was made in each block, in which a tie.
shaped like an hour-glass, was driven.
1t is, therefore, very difficult to force
any stone from its position. The ties
appear to have been of the timarisls or
Shittim wood, of which the ark was
constructed.

Chronicle: The coal news is more en-.
ccuragiug this week than they were at
the time OF our last issue, when it was
stated that no coal was found in the
second prospect hole. The information
was obtained from George Murry, the
party who is doing the drilling. We
have since learned that there was mis-
understanding Of our question and that
a five foot vein had been struck at las
feet IN the second hole, and that the
drill had been taken out at l5O feet.
Yesterday afternoon Chronicle re-
porter visited the scene OF operations
and found things booming there, Mnr.
ray was starting his drill at q new
prosL cot about 200 feet west of the Sec
pad and az the base OF the hill. He said
he would be down ten feet by night and
would reach tha coal this week if he had
good luck.
Mr.. James Carlson, man who has
had seven years experience at mining
has commenced drilling at a spot abont
2)0 feet north of the second one, with
an improved machine and is putting
down six inch hole with plain drill.
He thinks by this means that when he
gets down to the coal, by the use OF o
slush bucket he can bring up good sized
pieces OF the coal and also get better
clay of the land" than by small drlil

the common rights accorded by the con.
shtution to the confederation OF states,
This is what they call statesmsnship.
The ex.use OF the senate-that because
New Mexico may not be entitled to
statehood, South Dakota must be denied
admissions not sufficient excuse,
even though there is absolute truth in
all the representations concerning New
Mexico. The omnibus bill provides only
for the immediate admission of South
Dakota. The other territories named
therein must come back to congress for
permission 10 enter the union after they
have complied with the requirements Of
omnibus bill. Their cases can then be
treated separately by republican SEN
ate and house and decisions made upon
the merits of the several cases. South
Dakota has been 30 many times subject
ed to grivous disappointment in Its
statehood efforts that this last failure is
liable to break the patiencs of q long
suffering people and tempt them to take
the matter into their own hands and
assume the privileges OF statehood.

Bills appropriating money for the
n ain tenance Of the Bismarck peniten.
tiary, the Sioux Falls penitentisry and
the jamestown insane asylum have not
yet been introduced. Without making
any account of the expenses of these
lhree institutions there is totel $685.
396.95 already asked for. The James
town insane asylum and the two peni-
tentiaries in the last two years used an
aggregate of $26l .3566l. This sum
added to the appropriations already
asked for gives total Of $l,l9S. 1876.
There are various other expenses to be
provided for not named in the foregoing
llst-railroad commissioners, public ex.
aminers, immigration commissioner,
adjusant general. alto ney general, audi
Tor. agricultural boards, boards of edu-
cation and health, support of blind !,
militia and all sorts of inciden-
tails, costing within the past two
years about $4,000 This added
to what has already been piled up gives
the munifcent total of 81 1893, ,753.76
as the amount the legislature is liable to
ask the tax payers OF Dakota to hand
over. The appropriation bills already
in provide for an expenditure OF $751;
600 for new public buildings and ad-
ditions to public buildings. This item
might be omitted without hardship to
any person.
In view OF this array of figures The
public will begin to suspect that this
Legislature. elected in the interest OF
economy, is not really operating in the
interest of economy.

A press telegram dated at Washington

A press telegram dated at Washington
the Sth inst says:
A full caucus of the republican sena-
tors this morning discussed the admis-
sion OF the territories. 1t was decided
to sustain the senatorial couferees IN the
disagreement upon the omnibus bill
which proposes to admit the two DRko
tas, Montana and New Mexico.
Under date OF the day previous came
information that the conference commit
tee had agreed to report disagreement.
AS the matter now stands the house has
passed an admission act for the Dakotas
snd other territories and the senate re-
fuses to concur. The subject of differ
ence in the conference committee was
probably the admission of New Mexico.
This is indicated in the following extract
from an Omaha Bee Washington special:
Chairman Springer insists that under
the instructions OF the democratio eau.

HILL AND CLEVELAND.

A Oo0iness Exists Between The Two
Executives.
Washington special: Evidently there
is GOODNESS between the chief ex.
ecutives OF the United States and the
state of New York. Governor David b.
Hill arrived here yesterday afternoon.
He stopped at the Arlington hotel,
which is within two blocks and in sight
of the white house. AS soon as he
arranged his toilet, he took carriage
and went to tile residence of Representa-
tive Samuel j. Randall, the we'll known
protective tariff democrat of PenDsyl-
vanla, 1t will be remembered that about
the time OF the election, Governor Hill
was credited with the statement (Which
he never denied) that il the democratic
ticket had been headed by Randall and
German, or il the platform had been
prepared by those gentlemen, instead OF
by William r. Scott, the party would
have succeeded. Mr.. Randall has never
been an admirer OF the present occupant
of the white house, and Gov. Hill never
admired Mr.. Randall as now. When
Governor Hill had completed his con-
ference with MIR. Randall it was time for
him to go to the dinner given in his honor
by Secretary and Mis-. Whitney, who are
also credited with not possessing as
much sdmiretion for President Cleveland
now as formerly. The president was there
bat he held no conversation with the gov
ernor. merely giving him the passing
recognition due en- acquaintance on such
an occasion. People present remarked
the fofmslity between them. This
afternoon o large and fashionable recep-
.ion was rendered TO Governor Hill by
Secretary and Mrs. Whitney. Nearly
every democratic senator and represen-
tative in the city, and most OF the PROM
lnent department officers were there aud
paid their compliments to New Yorks
governor. But the president aud Mrs
Cleveland were not present, and they
did not send their regrets. Early this
morning they went to New York for the
purpose of inspecting rooms in the
Gerick apartment house, where they
expect TO live after the 4th OF March.
Representative William T.. Scott, the
presidents intimate friend in congress,
was not at the reception either, and
around the capital to-day there wae
| much said about 1t. In fact this entire
chain OF circumstances going to shoS
that cordial feelings do not exist be-
tween the president and Governor Hill
was the subject OF general comment
around congress. The democrats espec.

with ordinary good LUCK he can drill
about forty feet per day, which would
get him down to the coal deposit some
time this week. This will probably
prove TO be the most satisfactory test
yet made.
Mr.. O. O. Whitten. the town site agent,
in coming up from Ysnkton Monday
stopped at Violin Siding and induced
the French miner who discovered the
coal deposit at that place, to accompany
him TO Oentreville. This man visited
the coal fields near here and expresses
his opinion quite positively that plenty
OF coal exists here.
