WASHINGTON, d. G. March 16.-"The
surface indications are good" said Gen.
Harrison Allen to-day, in reply to Col.
Henderson's complimentary allusion to
his senatorial prospects. 1--WE used to
consider surface indications everything
in the Pennsylvania oil regions, but the
results did not always pan out well. 1t
may be SO also with senatorial indications
in Dakota" The generals simIle is
good. very good. Charles A. Gray, of
Mitchell, Dak., Washington correspon-
dent OF the Pioneer Press, is an appli-
cant for the cOnSulShip at Bermuda,
with excellent chances of success. He
is indorsed by the leading statesmen of
the Northwest, including the entire con-
gresSl0nal delegations of Minnesota,
Iowa, Wisconsin, South and North Da-
kota, and has promises of all executive
nature which indicate assured success.
f. A. Carrie will manage the Pioneer
Press bureau here after Gray's de-
parture. Senator Allison has been sick
for two days, but was at the capitol to-
day on account of important business.
He has a severe cold. which has settled
on his lungs, and Iowa office seekers,
whose persistency drove him from his
comfortable home to-day. have done
him serious injury. He was entirely
out of place at the capitol to-day, and
his best friends are alarmed at
his condition. Allison Is a strong,
robust man, and never in fifteen years
has he looked so worn ont and tired and
sick as to-day. George d. Breed will be
nominated postmaster at Chiffon, Wis,
on Monday. Gov. Mellette did not get
away until this afternoon. He says, 81

shall proceed to Bismarck as soon as
possible" In response to the suggeS-
ton of the dangers as we'll as response
bilities of his position, he said, ''The
last governor of the territory will not
have such hard time on account of fac
tlOnS as his predecessors have had, now
that division is settled, all parties
in the territory are desirous of a har-
moniOuS settlement of affairs and | do
not think there is man of prominence
in either section who will exhibit any
Obstructionist tactics or desires. There
will be lots of work, and hard work, but
am not anticipating any squalls such
as my friends apprehend." 1t is under
stood that President Harrison this morn
ing gave Gov. Mellette hearty assur-
anceS of his full and unhesitating sup
port in all matters wherein the federal
administration can aid him in his pend
ing work. keep your eye on Walsh"
says Charlie Mccoy, of Aberdeen.
''There is more senatorial timber in him
than is usually understood. He will be
a strong man before the North Dakota
legislature" South Dakotians here are
wondering whether Harrison Allen,
chairman of the territorial Republican
committee, will want to call their con-
stitutional convention to order or not.
They say Alf belongs in North Dakota,
and they will elect their own chairman.
Henry c. Payne will leave for Milwau-
kee tomorrow. He says: II believe
Guenther will be appointed recorder of
deeds for this district early next week."
Secretary Rusk says: II shall select
new quarters Monday. Two members of
the cabinet are at the Arno, and [
am urged to go there. Secretary Win
dom is there, and he is one of my oldest
friends. He has been wanting me to
come there for week past, and l am
at present inclined to go. but will not
decide until Monday" Turning to his
desk the secretary said: 'All the SYM
pathies of my being are stirred by these
letters. Owing to the smallness of our
appropriation was obliged to furlough
about sixty women from the seed room
of the department. Each one of them
has dependents, and each case is meri-
torlous. They are suffering for en-
and wish they could all be
retained, but am helpless, and can do
nothing for them" Here he wiped an
tear from his eye and said,
Maybe / can re-employ them all in
July when the new appropriation be-
comes available" Our Jerry is big
