President Cleveland signed the bill
admitting North and South Dakota,
Montana and Washington into the
Union as states with pen made of

fact that the "noble bird" surrendered
his life that the Dakotas might live as

COMPREsSIBILITY OF WATER.-At
a recent meeting of the royal society
Of Edinburgh, Prof. TAFT showed theo-
reiicaily that water could be COM
pressed to about three-fourths of it's
original bulk. Tie compressibility
of sea-water Is .92 of that of fresh
water. 1.-THE water of the ocean were
suddenly to become incompressible,
four per cent Of the habitable land of
globe would be submerged, because
the mean depth of water would be
Increased 116 feet.
Experiments made since the late
explosion of a petroleum vessel in q
French harbor show that a mixture of
one part Of petroleum vapor to i've or
less Of air does not explode. With
six parts of air the mixture is feebly
explosive, with seven to twelve parts
violently 50, with sixteen parts feebly
explosive, and with twenty parts Of
air Is not likely to explode.

The arrest appeared to stir up Pine Bluff wonderfully, and big crowd of people followed us to the depot. but there was no disturbance of any kind whatever. Watkins denies all the charges. He told me he was at the polls at Plummervilie on the day of election, November 9th, and voted but went home and didn't disturb any one"

An Uld Confederate Spy.

There is prominent colored man livng Tn this city to-day who was a boy III l865: In ls6G he was em- ployd as I waiter at large hotel Ill Iuka Springs, Miss, which was crowded with refugees from Mem phis, where cholera had broken out. One day the boy fell in with a young white man named Scott, wi ho it transpired, had been a confederate spy during the late war. He had been tired and sentenced to be shot. but made his escape He it was that led Lew WalIace's forces at the bat tie of Shiloh, fn the rear of Braggs' divi sion, with remarkable succes. His adventures and halr breadth e. scapes were then fresh Tn memory, and he was q Southern hero.
 This was thirty-Iwo years ago, and the colored boy, now an old man, had long since forgotten his ac. quaintence with the celebrated con- federate spy, Saturday afternoon while he was sauntering down Mark ham street man appearntly about fifty years old, tapped him lightly on the shoulder ana asked, Do you remember me- The old man looked at hls questlonel and began to think. Finelly It dawned on him that he was of second tune in the pres ence of the confederate spy. The recognition was very pleasant be teen the two men who had passev through the same thrilling scenes.

The New States.

Under the Omnibus Territorial bill slgned by the President yester- day the States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Montana are created and two new Senators from each will take their seats in the Flfty-frst Congress in December next.
 In the elections to the Forty ninth Congress Dakota gave T, ,579 votes to Clifford, RepunlIcan, against b, ,124 to Wilson, Democrat, Washington elected Xoorhees, Democrat, against Armstrong, Re- publican, on vote of 2e, 995 to 20,- ST, and Montana elected Demo erat by the same close yote-l3, ,584 10 l3,385 To the Flfty-first Con- gress Dakota, Washington and Mon- tana all elected Republican doie- gates. All the new states are at present Republican and the pros. peets are that all will return Repub- liean Senators.
 With the situation in their favor, tae Republicans ot the Senate were able to worst the Democrats of the House badly on the Omnibus bill, which, tactily considered, was a blunder in that it accepted the part isan issue presented by the Senate and then allowed 1t to be turned against the House by ! complete concession and surrender of all the Democratic partisanshipin the bill. 1.-the territories had right to ad. misslon tho House would have done far better to let each stand on it's own merits, but instead, the "omni- bus plan was adopted and the Senate was allowed to exclude New Mexico on account ot it's politics.
 On the civil war basis of politics, the Republicans count l82 electoral votes IS suerly Republican, eoneede l52 t. tie Democrats class 66 as doubtful. To the ls2 Republican votes they add for North and South Drkota, making ls9, to which also they expect to add 6 for Washingtion and Montana, making I95, 30 that Indiana or New York would give them majority. North and South Dakota are as safely Re publican at present as Vermont IS. They will not change before Hi nois changes and revolutionizes politics in the Northwest. Montana and Washington are dcbatable- close States, with the chances in fa. yor of the Republicans-and the chances are thus that the Republi- cans will have Is more electoral votes Tn 1892 than their "suie State" votes in 1888. All Of which m cans that the Democrats must make the fight in the West and hold New York, New Jersey and Con- neetieut. The uarrison adminisfra- ton will, not allow the South to de- vide.

 An important arrest was made yesterday aft rnoon at Pine Bluff by Deputy United States Marshal FaaIklnbury, the party aPprehend- ed being Robert Watkins, and the charge against him "obstructiag ain election officer It Plummerville, on November 6, l8S8." What will be developed at the trial IS, of course, unknown to all but the officials, yet the belief IS pretty generally enter tained that the arrest is the begin ming of the end Tn the detection of the assassins of John NJ. Clayton. It k, in fact, the first move toward this end-ihe iniual step in wiping out the stain left by thIs murder and in vindieating the good name of the State.
 As stated Tn yesterday evenings issue of the Democrat, Watkins has been under surveillance for weeks past and his arrest was made delib- eratel9 and with full knowledge Of possible developments consequent upon such ! step.
