BISMARCK, OAK, Jan. 20.-In the
house to-day Jones created great SEN
sation by introducing joint resolution
stating in the preamble that several
members, who were also members of
the last legislature, believed that the
bill then passed appropriating funds for
the Jamestown asylum provided for
only 100000, while the session laws
stated the amount to be Si53,000 which
that institution has received, and call
ing for q thorough investigation by the
judiciary committee. Jones has eX-
ploded another bomb by introducing an
other resolution requesting the gov
ernor to state his recollection and opin-
ion on the matter to the house. The
joint committee having under consider
alton the matter of extending the time
for paying the tax of 1883 met this after
noon, and will report tomorrow favor
ing the Clark bill, which. as now
amended, provides for the extension of
time from February to June. The joint
committee Cd the bill providing for sup
plying members with codes, session laws.
etc., will also report tomorrow fayoring
the purchase of compiled laws, striking
out Levisee's code entirely, and using
such session laws as the territorial Sec
rotary may have on hand. Had Hon.
Coe [. Crawford fOreseen the WhirlWind
of opposition the bill would have
aroused in certain quarters, unless he
is man of unusual courage, would
never have made bid through the
council for the location of the proposed
soldiers home at Pierre, not even ac-
companied by the munificeht bonus OF
So, 900 worth of real estate. The q. A.
r. of this territory months ago, after
much wrangling among its members,
decided that the institution should be es-
tablished at Hot Springs, and
THIS PIECE OF PRESUMPTION
on the part of the gentleman from
Hughes. in presenting a measure an
tagonistic to that edict, is regarded no
more leniently by this element than
would be the action of some indiscreet
servant of the pope questioning the in
fallibility or his holiness. And. in this
home case the objectionable obstreper-
BUSINESS, as in that foreign instance in
excusable irreyerence, is to be
punished. EXcommunicatiOn doesn't go
here, but Pierre has always been prom
inent in the list of probable capital
cities of the new state of South Dakota,
and this is the offenders vulnerable
point, which the veterans propose to as
sail. Crawford has killed Pierre's
chances for the capital" is a remark
heard twenty times day. No one who
has thinking apparatus can see why
this is a logical sequence, but the ma
iority of those who talk on all subjects
never letting an opportunity get away
do not seem to question the conclu-
sion for q moment, and this fact alone
may have some influence in the matter
Of course it is simply a bluff, made by
some shreWd leader i'll the presence OF
his echoes, and they have not yet ceased
to repeat the orslcular deliyerance. 1t
is .'barely possible that Mr.. Crawford
can thus be called off, but when the
scarcely probable that this bill will play
any part in the fight to finish billed
to take place at that time-nOtWith-
standing Mir. Green's statement that
Chamberlain will carry off the prize
without lifting hand or turning a
hair. In the COUNCIL to-day the impor-
tant bills introduced were by Stimmel,
