Gov. Mellette spoke briefly as follows:
''The one thing of which l am proud
tonight is that L stand before you as the
executive of the territory by virtue of
the fact that three years ago received
the Endorsement of the people of Dakota
for their executive Office in the state
which they had attempted to erect.
That was the point which secured to
me this honor; that was the basis of the
honor, and without it l assure you this
honor would be very hollow" Gov.

pressions of confidence in him from
his neighbors. Referring to the
state he said: Every much de-
wolves upon you within the next six

Everything depends upon beginning
well. Economy should rule in the adj
mfnistration of your state in building
it up from the foundation. hope to
hear no more of the miserable talk
about salaries being too low. 1 know
the salary is large enough for me, con-
sidering the way you earn that money
and where it comes from. l do not be-
lieve in princely salaries for governors.

something in this matter and not
merely dollars and cents"

Copper for That Period.

Special to the Globe.
BUTTE. Mont. March 10. - Orders
were received to-day by the copper pro-
ducers of Butte that the syndicate
would not receive any more copper for
the next sixty days, and under the ex-
listing contract they are not allowed to
throw any OF their product on the mar
ket. The Anaconda, Butte 81 Boston,
Boston & Montana, Clark's Smelter and
Colorado will all continue to produce
and hold the copper. 1t is held that this
will tide the copper trust over their
financial embarrassment. If, how
ever, the syndicate refuses to take
the product at the end of sixty
days disastrous results will follow. The
above notice has been sent to Arizona,
New Mexico and Calumet and Hecla
companies. A prominent copper pro-
Queer said to-day to your correspond
ent that no favoritism existed, but all
copper producers were notified yester-
day and to-day that no more copper

vate advices were received of the col
lapse, a copper producer said that prob
ably with the exception of Haggin, the
producers are secured in their con-
tracts for eighteen months to come.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The clerks
of the committee on appropriations of
the two houses of congress having COM
pleted their statement of the appropria-
tons made at the last session, are now
looking over the acts to discover the
errors of enrolment, some of which are
almost always found. Several have al
ready been discovered in the acts of the
Fiftieth congress. two of them of quite
all annoying character to Representa-
tive Randall and Senator EdmundS. The
first is the omission of an amendment
reported by the house committee on APP
preparations TO a senate amendment to
the paragraph apprOpriating S650.000
buildings. The house proposed to con-
cur in the senate amendment, which
was purely clerical, with the following
amendment, viz: (Which sum shall be
expended under contract or contracts to
be made by the secretary of the treasury
with the lowest and best bidder or bid
derS therefor, after advertising once a
week for four consecutive weeks for
proposals." That amendment was made
by Chairman Randall for the purpose of
preventing the letting of these contracts
by Chief Clerk YOumans, of the treasury
department, whose methods were not
thought to be economical by Mr.. Ran
dali. The conference report was agreed
to on Saturday, so that all of Sunday
was available by the enrolling clerks
and committee to carefully enroll and
compare the bill, but that amendment
escaped and is not in the law.

IN THE SENATE.
A Proposed Amendment to the
Ruies Excites Sharp Debate.


WASHINGTON. March 19.-The vice
president announced the appointment
of the following select committee on the
April centennial celebration in New
York: Senators HIscock, Sherman,
Hoar, VOORHEES, and Eustis. Mr.. Sher-
man called up the proposed amendment
of the rule requiring resolutions that
call for information from executive
departments to be referred to
the appropriate committee. He said
that the adoption of such reso-
lutiOns, without inquiry, sometimes IN
vOlved very large and unnecessary eX-
penSe. and that such change of the
rule was desirable. Mr.. Voorhees, OPP
posed the change of rule. He under
stood that no assent to it had been
given OH the Democratic side of the
chamber. He called attention to the
fact that the government was within
few weeks of closing Its first hundred
years af history under the constitution,
and that during that century of ma
tional life no such rule as that now
proposed had ever been found neces-
sary. He could see no object
that it was likely to accomplish, except
to Stitle investigation and Obstruct in
quiry into the conduct of any executive
department. He submitted to the sena-
tor from Ohio and to all senators on the
other side. whether they could afford, at
the threshold of new administration, to
give notice to the world that investiga-
ton and inquiry into proceedings of the
departments shall be less free and less
untrammeled than had been the case
heretofore. After long debate the
rule and amendments were recon-

WHITELAW REID.

Whitelaw Reid, editor, and one of the
proprietOrS of the New York Tribune,
was born at Xenia. o., in October, 1887.
His parents gave him good education.
At fifteen he entered the Miami uni
versity, at Oxford. Butler county, o.,
where he was graduated in 1856. He
began the active duties of life as prln-
cipal of the graded schools in South
Charleston. Clark county, in the same
state, but did not continue in this occu-
patton long. In 1857 he bought the
on that journal as to give it reputation
wide as the state. This led to his en-
gagement by the Times and Gazette, of
Cincinnati, and the Herald, of Cleve
land, as their Columbus correspondent.
The war gave him an opportunity Of
distinguishing himself as a correspond
ent at the front. He served the Cincinnati
Gazette in this capacity, and in 1862
became a stakeholder of that journal,
the publication of which he subse-
quently assisted in the capacity of asso-
ciate editor. His connection with the
New York Tribune began with his
being the editor in charge of its Wash
ington bureau. He ventured upon the
publication of volume in the year 1865.
1t was entitled after the War--A
Southern Tour" and recorded observa-
tionS made in company with Chief JUS
tice Chase on an extensive range of
travel. Reid published another book in
1868, ''Ohio in the War;" work of con-
siderable length and value. He became
permanently an editor on the staff of
the Tribune in 1870, and when Horace
Greeley was candidate for the presi-
dency assumed the position of man.
aging editor. Mr.. Reid is a wealthy
man. He married the daughter of a
millionaire, and lives instyle up town in

County Attorney Macomber, of
Des Moines, in a Contemplate

County Attorney Macomber, of
Des Moines, in a Contemplate
Role.
Special to the Globe.
Dies MONIES, To-, March 19.-County
Attorney Macomber to-day served notice
on Sheriff Loomis citing him to appear
before the court April 20 on charge of
contempt. The cause of this action is
accounted for by the fact that criminal
cases against three Des Moines brewers,
in which each was fined 81, 900 and costs,
have been affirmed by the supreme
court, and the execution papers were
placed in the sheriff's hands early in
March. The defendants asked for a
short time in which to raise the money
to satisfy the Judgment and the sheriff
granted it; but the county attorney,
who is rank Prohibitionist, rejoices to
see a brewer behind the bars. and in
sisted upon the service of the papers
and the placing of the defendants in
the county Jail. This the sheriff re-
fused; hence the action for contempt.
The judges have heretofore allowed the
sheriff wide latitude in serving papers
of this kind and will undoubtedly suS-
tain him in his present course.

AN OFFENSIVE PARTISAN.
The Cabinet Ask ed to Establish a

WASHINGTON, March 19-One of the
matters considered at the cabinet meet

postmaster, whose removal was asked
by one of the Illinois congressman be-
cause of the postmaster's political &C
tivity. 1t was admitted by the congress
man that the Office was well managed,
and the matter was called to the at
tention of the cabinet for the reason
that the action taken in this case might
constitute precedent hereafter. Post
master General Wanamaker said to-
night that he did not feel at liberty to
talk about what took place at the cabl-
net meeting. There is reason to, be-
lieve, however, that the result of the
meeting was adverse to the wishes of
the Illinois congressman, but it is not
known whether or not any fixed line of
action i'll cases of this kind was de-
termined upon,

Brief Interview With the Next
Minister TO France.

NEW YORK, March ia reporter
this evening succeeded in getting a
brief interview with Mr.. Reid on the
subject of his nomination as minister to
France. The following is the substance
of the information elected: II first
learned of the nomination on returning
to town this evening from Ophir Farm,
Westchester county, on getting a copy
of an evening paper at the rail-
road station. The nomination
came without any solicitation
or effort on my part. [ had not been a
candidate for this or any Office, and had
made no effort for any. l am greatly
honored by the distinction and hope it
may be thought also a compliment to
the profession, whose good opinion and
honor l value more than any Office.
The natural presumption is that in case
of confirmation by the senate nominee
for such an Office will accept. l shall
certainly try to arrange my business so
as to do so. If [ could not, it would
certainly be discourteous in me to an
nounce this to anybody else before 1
said it to the president, who did me the
honor to make the nomination."
