Celebrates Statehood.

Celebrates Statehood.
PIERRE, S. d., Nov. 4-lSpecial Telegram
to The BEE. Flags have adorned every
building and gay buntlngs have been added
to every business house in the capital city
to-day over the news that South Dakota Is q
state. Tonight is warm and pleasant and
an immense throug of people gathered on
the principal streets, while bands played,
cannons thundercd and almost the entire
population assembled to listen 10 speeches
by some of the leading men of the city and
new state in ratification. 1t is by far the
largest public demonstration Pierre has
ever witnessed Fully three thousand
people stood within hearing of the orators as
they talked on the subject of statehood, at
tanned at last, from the high
platform erected on the corner of
Pierre street and Dakota avenue.
South Dakota's capital city has done her
self proud by to-night's ratification, as such
enthusiasm displayed can hardly be ever at
tanned again. Pierre has reiocsd during tho
last year over Harrson's election, the open.
ing of the Sioux reservation, the Omnibus
bill. getting the Indians consent to the Sioux
treaty, the location of the capital here and
the election of United StaJes senators, but
the last reioic'ng-over South Dakota's state
hood-rightly eclipsed them all. Among the
features of the celebration Is the immense
bontires which bazed from the highest point
of Snake butte all night, lighting up the
country for miles around. This eminence
stands jusS north Of the city, on the Missouri
river and is 800 feet above the water, and is
a land mark for 500 miles around.

last week reached here to-day from Folsom,
New Mexico.
Thursday Henry Miller, a range foreman
with several cowboys, camped on the Sierra
Grande with 800 beef cattle, which were to
be loaded ON cars next day for eastern mar
kets.
Four o'clock Friday morning the blizzard
struck the herd, driving the cattle toward
the Panhandle, the cowboys being unable to
hold them. The snow was so binding it was
impossible to see fifty feet ahead. Miller
called the men together and they stared to
follow the herd, but the cattle were finally
lost, and the men became separated.
Friday night cowboy wandered into
Colonel Heads ranch, half dead with cold
and hunger. He told the story, and rescu-
ing party was sent out, and the frozen bodies
of Henry Miller, Joe Martin and Charles
Jelly We're found lying on the open plains
not far from Folsom. The other men sue
ceeded in finding their way into camp before
being overcome with the cold.

Republicans More Confident and
Democrats Sanguipe.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 4.-The campaign in
Ohio closed tonight, and while the enthusi-
asm has not been very great the managers of
both parties have been active.
1t is thought that Governor Foraker will
be scratched by some republicans who do
not believe in three consecutive terms.
On the other hand, il is thought Campbell
will not poll the vote of his party, because
he is not regarded as being in line with ex-
President Ceveand's policy on tariff re-
form.
In reviewing the situation, the Leader
(rep) will say: within tho past week the
situation has materially Frightened for re-
publicans all over the state. News of the
active part the National Liquor Dealers as
sociation was taking to elect Campbell has
aroused the republicans. The prospects ar Q
for heavy vote in the western reserve and
means republican victory"
The Plaindealer (deni.) will say: "The
democrats have made vigorous fight
against great odds. They have put the re-
publicans to confusion, and IL they but stand
by their guns as manfully tomorrow as they
have battled thus far they will secure The
governor and the legislature. This will Sc

THE DISCRETION PROBLEM.
Gen. Breckenridge Presents Some
Recomm

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-Iuspector General
Breckenridge, OF the army, in his annual
report devotes considerable space to the
in part:
We should first render il inexcusable and
then make il impossible and be always hui
name. Our methods of enlistment and the
failure to insure arrest may not promote but
apparently have failed to guard against this
crimc.n
General Breckenridge argues in favor of
the moro rigid experiment of discipline and
the laws already in force agrinst desertion.
IL should oe made easier to leave the service
honorably than dishonorably and "A typo
should be enlisted who don't care to desert,
change is recommended in the man ner
OF paying the officers and men. General
breckenridge thinks the officers in the army
should be promoted for length
of service as well as for merit
The inspectors unite in reporting that tho
tone and bearing of the enlisted men is con-
stantly improving.
1t is recommended that measures be taken
to secure tho Improvement of non-commis-
stoned officers, such as increasing their pay,
assembling them for instructions, etc. He
recommends the adoption of the three bat
talon organization for infantry regiments; /;
that the line be given the same chance for
promotion US the staff; the rearmament of
tho forces and the restoration of the rank of
lieutenant general.
AT forty-three military educational institu
tons in the country there are IL, 3Sl students,
of whom 5,i03 attend military instructions.
The report says that in tho face of many
difficulties the average instruction of the
army has retained its excellence, and tho
recent camps have added efficiency and
thoroughuess to instruction in large bodies
which was lacking before.

Minor Parties Overshadowed.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 4.-The campaign which
closed tonight has been an exciting one.
While the platforms of both parties laid
down principles relating to tho tariff and
other matters, the canvass has been marked
with much personal bitterness. The contest
was recognized pretty generally as confined
to the two great parties.
The labor party has made scarcely an ef-
fort to push its ticket.
The prohibition party has not given as
much attention to the canvass as usual.
The indications are that the vote In the
state will fall below that, OF last year. Both
parties are claiming the state by almost the
same figures-15,OOO to 10000 plurality.
There IS some personal objection to
Foraker IN Cincinnati, Cleveland and other
points, growing out of his appointments and
he is likely to run below the rest of the
ticket
The Enquirer (dem.) expresses confidence
in brilliant victory for the whole ticket,
and of democratic majorities In both branches
of the general assembly.
The Commercial Gazette (rep.) says the
republicans are feeling hearty over the out
look at the close of the campaign; that they
need just the victory that is coming to-mor-
row to set them right

The Work of a Coward.

KANSAS CRY, Nov. 4.-lSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. Mrs John G. Tarsney, wife
of the congressman who figured in the Com
mercialc club episode with Mayor Joseph j..
Davenport a week ago, fell IN a faint at
Ninth and Main streets late this afternoon
and was revived with difficulty. The cause Of
il was the whisper of some evil minded per-
son who stepped up TO Mrs. Tarsney in a
crowd and murmured, "John Tarsney has
killed Mayor Davenport" The affair cre-
ated considerable excitement, but Mrs.
Tarsney was soon restored.
The Tarsney- Davenport scandal resulted
from meeting TO raise money to entertain
the Pan-Amerlcaus. The congressman and
the mayor indulged in warm words and the
latter slapped Mr.. Tarsney vigorously.
After the incident on the street tonight II is
feared trouble will yet follow.

IN NE w YORK,
The Interest Centers in the Balloting
for The IleUiSlature.


NEW YORK, Nov. 4.--The greatest interest
in the election to morrow centers in the bal
loting for the Legislature. The republicans
had majority in the lastlegislaturc of about
forty on joint ballot 1t Is their ambition to
increase it to two-thirds majority so it will
be possible to pass measures over the demo-
cratic governors vetoes On the other hand
the democrats hope to reduce the republican
majority, and if possible to wipe it out en-
tirely.
The state officers to be chosen are the Sec
retary of state, comptroller, state treasurer,
attorney general, state engineer and Judge
of the court of appeals.
AS the state is considered naturally demo-
cratic, and no issues have arisen to divert
votes in large numbers, there is reason in
the cl i'm of the democratic leaders thet the
state ticket is to be successful, although the
republican leaders are very hopeful.
In New York city the situation is compli-
Gated by singular combination made be-
tween the county democracy and the repub-
licans to defeat the Tammany hall ticket,
and the impression prevails that this will
lead to a good deal of trading, and it already
has been charged that more or less colonial
tion of voters has been INDUCED in.

THE CHEKOkEE STRIP.
Chief Mayes Strongly Opposed to Sell
ing 1t to the Governments

KANSAS CITY, Nov. "A special from
Talequah, Indian Territory, contains copy
Of the annual message delivered by Chief
Mayes to-day to the Cherokee council. That
portion which relates to the sale Of the
Cherokee outlet recommends that the lands
be not ceded TO the government OF the United
States except it be done by Il change of the
constitution of the Cherokee nation. He
holds that the constitution forbids the
sale of the lands to any one for
any reason. He accuses the government Of
dealing unfairly with the Indians, and states
his belief that the government has no right
to force the Indians TO sell their lands. A
change in the constitution can only be made
by submitting the question to u vote of the
nation, and that will have to be done by
councils authorizing Chief Mayes to so sub
NIT it. Interviews with members OF the
council on the question of the sale of the
strip show that the majority Of those now
on the ground are opposed to IL.
General Fairchild anu Judge Wilson, of
the Cherokee commission, were present, also
a big LOBBY of catLle men.
