THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

God bless the man who can invent
plan to rid cities of the smoke nui
sance; and if Mayor SMITH can sue
ceed in this direction by means of the
bill introduced by him into the legiSla-
tive yesterday, the people OF these two
cities will rise up and call him blessed.
The hearts of our people here in st.
Paul are saddened every day by the
begrimed appearance of our new
court house, to say nothing of the con-
slant annoyance to residents in all parts
of the city from the daily outpouring of
sooty clouds from smokestacks and
boiler fues. The country has been
flooded in recent years with patent
smoke consumers, yet the diminution
in the volume and density of smoke in
this city is scarcly perceptible. The
smoke consumers are either humbugS
or they are not used. One cause of so
much dirty smoke is the dirty quality of
coal that is used. But whatever the
causes, there surely ought to be some
remedy for this intolerable smoke nui-

THEY ARE COMING.

The provisions of the omnibus terri
torial bill agreed upon by the conferrees
last evening are fully explained in our
Washington dispatches this morning.
Senator PLATT and Representative
SPRINGER were busy last night prepar-
ing the report to accompany the bill,
which is to be submitted to the two
houses of congress this morning. The
cOnferreeS having agreed upon the bill,
there is no reason to suppose that it will
not be promptly passed by both houses.
and the admission of all the territories
originally included in the bill, except
New Mexico, may now be regarded as
an accomplished fact
1t will be seen that our Dakota friends
had their way about the naming of the
two states to be created out of that ter
ritory. North Dakota is North Dakota
still. and will be unit the end Of time.
Things are more mixed, however, with
reference to matters in South Dakota.
There is to be new election for state
officers, and the so-called two senators
who have been claiming seats are re-
jected. There is to be another fight over
the location of the state capital. which
will naturally give all exciting tinge to,
the May election. Pierre, Sioux Falls,
Watertown, and probably some others
of the many queen cities that dot South
Dakota's fertile prairies will possibly
measure strength with Huron for the
distinction of being the capital of the
peW-bnrn STATE
But these are all matters of mere local
detail. and will be arranged satisfac-
torily by the citizens of South Dakota.
The main point has been gained in the
recognition of the claims of the North
western territories to statehood. Four
magnificent states. each possessing all
the elements of wealth and prosperity,
will be added to the national galaxy.
Amid all the causes for congratulatiOn
upon this auspicious event not the
least is that it should have been done
by congress with its two branches con-
trolled by opposite parties. For once
in the history of congress the spirit of
partisan rivalry has been sacrificed Oh
the altar of common patriotism.

upon ali the other buildings. The fro
department was out in its entire

venting a spread of the fire. The Big
Four elevator was in great danger but
escaped. A span of the Cincinnati
Southern railroad bridge approach runs
over the works, but being of iron, NJ
harm was done to ii, except the burn
ing of few ties which were easily re-
placed. The loss to the railroad CON-
pany's property was complete and is
estimated by President ingalls, at $780,

OF about One-half that sum. The
machinery and engines were valued at
$l50.000 There were two locomotives
in the repair shops and three coaches in
the ear shops.

At the funeral two women appeared as;

write the articles on "ParnelliSm and
Crime" The articles were written in
the ordinary course of business. Mr..
Soames was misinformed when he
stated that MIR. Flanagan wrote the
series. He considered the request to
mention the authors as unreasonable.
Counsel asked him to find out who the
authors were. and pressed the point.
The court asked for the counsel's au-
thority on this point. Sir Charles Rus
sell contended that witnesses were
often required to produce diaries. At
torney General Webster, Of the Times
counsel. said he he would not consent
to the witness going out OF court for in
formation that was not within the wit
ness own knowledge. The counsel
then renewed his
DEMAND FOR TIE NAMES.
and the court ruled that the counsel was
not entitled to ask the witness to make
inquiries. The witness said that the
payments to Houston we're made by Mr..
Walters checks, drawn in favor OF Mr..
Soames, the Times solicitor. Houston
did not bring the envelope with the let
ters, and the witness assumed that they
were destroyed. The witness first
knew that Pigott, former editor of
the lriShman. supplied the letters at
about the time the publication
OF the articles on "ParnelliSm
and Crime" was begun. He did
not know that they had been shown to
Lord harrington. who, he said, had moth
ton. Mr.. Macdonald said that Flana-
gan wrote the ''ParnelliSm and Crime"
which appeared in the Times on March
Z and 10, 1857. Mr.. ParnelI's letter to
Piggott was produced, and Justice Han
nen asked if its genuineneSs was adj
mitted. Sir Charles Russell replied
that it was not Mr.. Houston. secre-
tary of the Irish Loyal and Patriotic
union. testified that the pamphlet, "Par-
neliiSm Unmasked," was based upon
information regarding John Dewey. fur
nished by Pigott. Pigott also furnished
notes of alleged conversation with Eu-
gene Davis at Lausanne. in which ref
erence was made to a letter. and was in
Strncted to
PROCURE THE LETTER.
Pigott said that all the letters were in
possession of Egan and of Schoolmaster
Kelly. He afterwards supplied copies
OF five OF Mr.. Parneii,s letters and six
of Egan'S. Witness further testified
that Mr.. Buckle in 1886 had refused to
touch the matter and that he himself at
his own expense sent PigOtt to America
to obtain the letters from Egan. Pigott
returned with scaled letter which he
said he had obtained from Breslin, in
structing person in Paris to surrender
the letters in his possession. The sellers
of the letters afterwards offered to re-
turn the money they had received if the
letters were returned to them, but the
offer was refused. MIR. Walter, it is
announced, will shortly 60 to Nice for a
holiday. His partners in the ownership
and management of the Times have been
noljfied that the payment of dividends
at the present time is impossible and
there is widespread suspicion that
there is among them more or less doubt
as to the outcome of entering into the

clares that the evidence concerning

GLOBE of last Saturday, headed ''War
at Winnipeg" and for publishing which
the GLOBE and Winnipeg Free Press
were said to be threatened with libel
suit, yonr correspondent has ascertained
that the accounts as published are sub
stantially correct. The woman referred
to is the wife of James Moore. deputy
clerk of the county court here, and she
has been looked upon for the past two
years as crooked. The husband is an
easy-going, good-natured fellow, and
popular. He idolized his wife and was
reluctant to believe the truth. On read
ing the item in the Free Press he at
once telegraphed to friends at Orillia,
Ont, whittier his wife was supposed TO

was not there. He also sought aidi0f

vince him that he was we'll rid of her.
He has taken steps to recover custody

Trouble for the ParneIlites.
Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-At the resumption
of the Parnell commissions session to
day, Mr. Macdonald. manager of the
Times. was cross-eXamined by Sir
Charles Russell, of the Parnallite coun-
sci. InlansWer to question, Mr.. Mac
Donald said that the alleged ParneH
letters "had to be taken as whole. and
as whole they were compromising"
The witness declined to answer one OF
the questions put to him. and
was sharply rebuked for his
refusal by Presiding Justice Han
nen. Mr.. Macdonald said that
he avoided asking where the letters had
been obtained from, as Secretary Hou-
ston said that he was bound to secrecy.
Houston had exhibited, as confirming
the genuinenesS>of the writing, letter
gOtt. This letter, however, was not
given to the experts because it was of
confidential nature. The witness said
that he forgot whether, when he gave
Egan's letters to the expert, he also
submitted other specimens of his writ
ing. He was not positive whether or
not he possessed any actual specimens
of Egan's writing. He could not re-
member what material he had given the
expert to enable the latter to ascertain
the genuineness of the letters. The
witness said that he was, however,
convinced that the Egan and Far
nell letters we're genuine before the
Times published the first article on
''Parnellism and Crime" The witness
stated that he had paid Houston s5o0
for Parnell's letters dated June 16, and
for the Egan-Carey letter. He had
paid Houston total sum of e., $50. He
did not know directly who the author of
the article was, and was not bound to
tell if he did know. The editor of
THE TIMES WAS RESPONSIBLE
for what his paper contained and the
names of individual writer's could not
be demanded. Mr.. Parnell here en-
tered the court room and sat near his
counsel. Mr.. ParnelfS counsel urged
that he was entitled to demand the
name of the writer of the article in
order to test the truth of such a grave
statement. The court ruled in favor of
the counsel. The witness said that he
could not name the writer without max
ing inquiries. He never asked where
not sure that the statement was
based upon information supplied to the
writer. The article accusing Mr.. Par
nell of assisting Byrne to escape by Civ
ing him money was based on a letter
which Sir Charles Russell had admitted
as authentic. The witness declared his |
