SUCOTT,S SWAG.

That is a quaint feature of banking
the lower house of congress has adopt
ed for its own convenience, whereby the
disbursing clerk in the sergeant-at-
arms office is enabled to walk off with
$4,000 of the salaries belonging to con-
gressmen. An effort will be made by
the losing members to hold the govern
ment responsible for the loss, but we
fail to see where the responsibility
comes in. There is no warrant in the
law for such banking system as the
sergeant-at-arms has established. The
rules of the house permit it simply for
the convenience of members, and yet it
IS All abominable method that ought not
to be tolerated. The law provides for
the payment of salaries out of the fed
eral treasury, just as all other claims
against the government are paid, and
when the money leaves the treas
Ury vault in payment Of the
draft made upon it that ends
the governments responsibility. The
practice has been, however, for the ser
geant-at-arms to open bank account
with each member and attache of the
house, and all the disbursements are
made through his Office. He draws his
draft on the treasury in favor of such
a member in payment of his salary for
the current month, the member in
dOrses the draft. and then that amount
is placed to his credit in the unauthOr-
lied congressional bank, and the men,
Der checks it out to suit his conyen-
fence. It was also made depository
for all the surplus funds that members
had about them when they reached
Washington, and it was in this way one
Of the South Dakota senators was
caught in the snap. While the estab-
Iishment was a convenience in one
sense to the members, it was also
subjected to gross abuses. Mem
bers whose ne cessitieS Outran their
funds often drew on the ser
geant-at-arms in advance of their
salary, and these advance drafts were
usually discounted in the regular way
and at the regular rates adopted by
legitimate banking institutions. There
is no telling how many Oyerdrawn &C
counts are now on the books of the con-
Germ against insolyent congressman.
1t was under the pretext of going to
New York to collect an arrearage Of
t12,000 from a man who had been out
of congress for several years that Sill
CoTT found an opportunity to skip to
Canada with his swag. 1t occurs to US
that the house might proftably go into
an investigation of the sergeant-at-arms
banking establishment. and devise
some way of accommodating the mem
bers in the matter Of salary payments
without jeopardizing the little stuff they
have to their credit.

ONLY A BONE,
But the Police Thought IL Was a
CrOnin Mystery.


There was plenty of excitement in po-
lice circles early last evening. Some
one telephoned to headquarters that
body of man had been found in a hay
loft at 730 Fourth avenue south. All
sorts of rumors were at once started.
Capt. Dan Day, OF the central station,
was notified, and he started down to
make an investigation. Fred George,
the police clerk, who locks up his desk
the minute reporter enters his Office,
for once had some information to
give out. He looked very wise
as one Of the newspaper men inquired,
anything new to-day, Fred?" The
scribe expected the usual Stere0typed
mo" from the clerk, and could hardly
believe his ears when George looked
very wise and striving to appear I'M
concerned, replied: Eyes, there's plenty
of news to-day. There's been a murder
the officers have gone down. See kellogg,
I'm busy" Signal Officer kellogg
laughed and said: 'Some one tele-
phoned that the body of man had been
found down ON Fourth avenue in
barn, and the police have gone
down, but I don't know anything
about it. Several reporters made
grand rush for the vicinity only
to find that small piece of the forearm
of skeleton which medical student
had left IN barn in the rear of 72O
Fourth avenue South, the finding of
which year ago caused no excitement,
had been discovered. When the skele-
ton was removed by the coroner this
piece of bone was overlooked. The
good people of the neighborhood were
considerably amused at the excitement
the important discovery created.

DEPOSITION OF DOM PEDRO.
Details Of the Successful Revolu-
ton in Brazil.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Times prints
a letter from Rio Janeiro, under date of
Nov. 81, giving further details of the
revolution in Brazil. When the army
leaders learned that the imperial au-
thorities intended to dispense the
troops at Rio they resolved to resist the
point of deposing the ministry. The
Republicans seized the advantage thus
offered them and worked hard for
fortnight, maintaining the utmost
secrecy regarding their plans. In
some way the government got wind
of what was going on and resolved
to send the Seventh infantry away on
the 18th instead of the Goth, as had been
intended. The cabinet met late at night
on the 14th. At daybreak on the 18th
the ministers of the navy, foreign affairs
and justice and the prime minister
were all at the arsenal to witness the
landing of the naval battalion which had
been ordered to mount guard in the
barracks in AeclamatioD square, where
the troops were quartered. At $50, as
the marine arrived. the whole cabinet
met at the war Office, and three infantry
battalions were formed before the eX-
tenSive
FRONTAGE OF THE BARRACKS.
Later several regiments of cavalry
and the whole police force Joined. At
S:l5 a. m, when the cabinet considered
that there was a sufficient force at their
command to compel the recalcitrant
battalion to march, Gen. Da Fon-
SEGA appeared on the scene and
all of the officials inside and
outside the barracks received
him with acclamations and cries of
down with the ministry" Baron La
dario, the minister of marine, on CON-
ing from the arsenal, was invited to
surrender as tho prisoner Of Marshal
da Fonseca and the army. 1t was at
this moment that the shooting scene
already described occurred. Gen. da
Fonseca then entered the barracks and
informed the ministers that they we've
deposed. He spoke bitterly of the pre-
mier and the minister of justice, and,
while he released the others, declared
them prisoners. At the general request
of their comrades he released them;
but, on learning in the evening that the
premier had had an interview with the
emperor, he rearrested the premier.
As soon as the news spread every COM
mercial house closed its doors in terror.
1t is said that Gen. De FODSeca was
simply carried away, as the deposition
of the government alone cost him dear,
and that he resolved at the last moment
to cast his lot with the Republicans.
While Dom Pedro, with Count Preto,
was trying to
FORM A NEW CABINET
the republicans met at the municipal
palace. The city aldermen resolved to
declare for the republic. and sent
message to Gen. Da FOnseca asking him
to proclaim that the dynasty was for
ever abolished. Senior Constant or
ganized the coup. while Senior
Barbosa was the real orga-
nicer of the new constitution.
The latter is learned man, of great
resources, and thoroughly conversant
with the constitutional history of Eng
land and America. 1t was he who in

ABELINE, Kan, Dec. 10.-The First
National bank, supposed to be the
strongest in the city, closed its doors at
noon to-day. The liabilities are given
at SIG, 254.59. The assets are NOM
iually S253, 492.67, but this last
named amount is sWelled considerably
by mortgages on western lands which
can never be realized on anything like
their face value. There are also city
lot realities held as property of the
bank which are practically worthless.
so the resources will be considerably
diminished. The banks affairs have
been turned over to the comptroller of
the currency, and no attempt will be
made to reopen. The concern had
been doing good business up to Oct.
%, when the failure of the Abline
bank caused creditors to grow uneasy.

THE sIssETON TREATY.

Our news from the Sisseton agency
this morning is of the most gratifying
character. A sufficient number of the
Indians signed the treaty yesterday
afternoon to secure the opening of the
valuable tract of land included In that
reservation. Not the least gratifying
part of this treaty is that it secures to
the SiSsetons Immediate payment of an
old claim that has long and unjustly
been withheld from them. The price
paid for the land, s. per acre, is low
enough, considering the quality of the
soil and its general typographical ad-
vantages; and yet it will aggregate a
sum sufficient for all the purposes to
which il is to be devoted. The SiSSeton
tribe merited special favor at the hands
of the government because of their val
liable services to the government during
the great Sioux outbreak. Old Chief
RENVILLE is man of remarkable abil-
ity and force of character, and his in
fluence has always been eXerted for
good. If every tribe were blessed with
such a chieftain, the Indian problem
would soon solve itself.

ward to something of the kind in the
near future; and yet what Notifying
spectacle it is TO look around and see
nothing. nor the shadow of anything,
resembling public hall worthy the
name of hall or auditorium. And yet
there is nothing in the way of public
improvement that the city needs more.
Has the spirit of enterprise fled from
our midst, or is it only awaiting the
touch of some hand that it is too modest
to stretch itself forth, to be awakened
into activity? There had to be be-
ginning with the Chicago auditorium,
and there were those who lacked faith
in its success. But the believing ones
laid hold of the work, and they are
to-day enjoying the reward of their
labor. Isn't there encouragement in
this for the enterprising citizens OF this
city, who have never heretofore failed
to respond to the call of public duty?

DROWNED IN THE LAKE.
BERTHE McGrath LOOses His Life
by skating Into an Air Hole.

BERTHE McGrath, the seventeen-year-
old son OF X. B. McGrath, of Excelsior.
was drowned in Lake Minnetonka Mon
day night. Young McGrath was skating
on the lake, and in rounding the point
running out from the Excelsior public
grounds, he skated into an open place
and sank in twenty feet Of water. He
was missed at an early hour in the
evening, and by o'clock the male in
habitants of Excelsior had turned out
in q body and several boats were
showed out into the darkness,
over the treacherous ice, and a
soarch made till late at night. No trace
ofthe boy was found until this morn
ing, when his cap was seen floating in
an open place about 800 feet from the
point, and his body was soon afterward
discovered short distance away. His
watch had stopped at 4:3S. The de-
ceased was very promising lad, and
very popular. The funeral will take

ABOUT OIL INSPECTION.
The Northwestern Star Company
in Trouble Over the Law.

The Northwestern Star Company
in Trouble Over the Law.
a The Northwestern Star Oil company
hasnO yet recovered from its old habit
of disagreeing with the state inspector
of Illuminating oils. Under the old
law there were squabbles innumerable
over the proper inspection of oil, and
since the law was changed at the last
session of the legislature, the trouble
seems not to have been meDded so far
asthis company is concerned. The old
aaw was somewhat ambiguous, but such
cannot be urged concerning the new
one. The Northwestern Star Oil COM
pany has filed two petitions, asking
that G. W. Lane, deputy oil inspector,
be compelled to inspect certain oils.
in manner which he claims is directly
opposed to the terms of the law. The
first petition reciteS that Lane refused
to inspect two barrels of oil which were
atrawn from railroad tank car in his
presence. The law provides, according
to the inspectors Interpretation, that
oil shall not be unloaded from railway
tanks until inspected. The second
petition relates that on the same day
Lane refused to inspect railroad tank
car Of oil when rendered 40 cents as fee
therefor. On this point the law says
that when there are more than fifty gal
Ions in tank each fifty gallons shall
constitute barrel. and that the fee for
inspecting it shall be the same for every
fifty gallons as prescribed by law for
each package or barrel.

The members of the Press club, who
have heen engaged in selling tickets for

have made the returns for the most of
their sales up to date, and the indica-
lions that total will be reached of
$4,000 or $1,000. This large sum is a
good criterion of the generosity of Min
neapOlis people. No strenuous efforts
have been made, and the sale of tickets
was very ready. The sufferers from the
Tribune building fire will be amply pro-
vided for by this and the minor benefits
which are being given.
The promenade ball at the West hotel
next Monday evening will probably be
the most largely attended social event
that was ever held i'm Minneapolis, and
will be well worth attending. The
West will be thrown wide open to the
convenience of the guests, and will be
Superbly decorated. The principal
florists Of the city will combine in add
ing every artistic effect attainable by
means of cut flowers and plants to the
handsome hotel.
The evenings programme will be
opened in the grand dining room by the
Fort Smelling band, which will render
their programme. closing at about $50.
1t will then remove to the exchange
room down stairs, where it will still con-
tinue to discourse music. On the with
drawal from the hall of the Fort SMELL
ing band, Danz's full orchestra will
give programme there of cOnsid-
cradle duration. Refreshments will
be served during the evening in the
LADIES' ordinary and the entire sol.
The fact that next Monday evening is
the date of the opening of the Public
library is an aid rather than a detriment
to the concert. The West hotel and
Public Library building are convenient
to each other, and guests can attend
both events with no inconvenience. The
