ANGRY SENATORS.
They Roundly Abuse the Attorney-Gen-
eraI of North Dakota.


BISMARCK IN. d.. March 4th.-At no time
since the early days of the territorial legislation
has either branch furnished as many sensations
as were sprung on the Senate to-day. For some
time past a majority of Senator'S have been
,hot" at the repeated and gratuitous insults of
fered them by Attorney General Goodwin.
A Senate Committee investigated the charges
of corruption in connection with the lottery
scheme and the election of United Senators and
is anxious to compel several State officials to
appear as witnesses and tell all they know con-
cerniDg the oft repeated charges of "boodlers.'
Attorney-Generel Goodwin was requested to
furnish the Seuate written opinion as TO the
manner in which the committee should proceed
against these recalcitrant officials, who have ig
nored its subpenas.
To-day the Attorney General informed the
Senate, in fiippant and sarcastic vein, that its
committee had no powers worth speasing of
1t might arrest unwilling witnesses, but could
not confine them i'll jail. In fact, the Senate
had better not "bite off more than it could le-
gally chew"
AS soon as the opinion was read Senator La
moure got the flor, ana roasted" the Attorney
General in violent language. He accused Good
win of shielding the unwilling witnesses to save
his own scalp, and referred to him as brain
less monkey"
Several other Senators followed in the same
strain. and the Attorney Generals opinion was,
by a resolution, fred into the waste basket
and erased from the records
Then came the sensation of the day, in the
minority report of Senators Barlow and odd
son on a bill providing for the appointment of
residents for outside newspapers on whom serv-
ice III suits for libel was called. 1t refers to
those who voted for the lottery" bill as
"shysters,' "demsgogues," sharks" 'politi
cians," "boodlers," etc,
A resolution was adopted with only three dis
senting votes denouncing Senators Dodds and
Barlow for their attack upon their colleagues.
and another resolution removing Senator podds
from his Office of Speaker pro TEN. went
through with whifl
To add to Dodds' discontinue, Senator La
moure, his bitterest enemy, was elected Presi-
dent pro TEN. by acclamation.
There is talk of expelling Dodds and Barlow
from the Senate, and there is more excitement
in Bismarck tonight than there was during the
fight over the lottery" bill.

Mr.. Emery explained IN regard to the short,
age of ex-SecretaTy Davies that the latter had
again promised him to make up the amount due
as soon as he could do so.
Mr.. Hiobard moved that Mr.. Davies be aslled
to give the Board properly secured note for
5000. due in sixty days; further, that the Board
accept this as repayment in full for the amount
of 1915.
The motion was not seconded, and Mr. Fran
els tried TO settle the matter by urging that a
note for the amount in full for sixty days be
accepted. He made motion to this effect and
Colonel Mcdonald seconded the motion.
Mr.. Maslin urged that some compromise on
the full amount be accepted. He considered it
not at all unlikely that the shortage might have
been expended in furthering the interests of
The Blard. He thought Davies not at all Likely
TO give check for the fill amount.
Mr Morrissey faeetionsly sugees ed that Da-
vies would sign check for S2.000,000, but the
question would be as to security.

adherence OF Grim Can we compound a fell
ony by accepting a note in compromise? Shall
we teach our officers that If they steal our
money we will forgive them and take half of

the ability of the Board, not then being an in
corporation, to prosecute Davies criminally.

Cards. Wine and Women.

LOUISVILLE (Ky.). March 4th.-William II.
Pope, teller of the Louisville City National
Bank, trusted employe a man of seeming
good habits and a frequenter of the best social
circles in this city, is gone His absence at the
bank yesterday morning at first excited no sus-
picion, as it was supposed he was in the eoun-
try detained by the flood. When no word was
received at 10:30 President Pirtle, Vice Presi-
dent Leach and Cashier Parker became suspi-
cious. They opened the vault and a hasty ex-
animation showed that between $4,000 and
$4,000 was missing, all large bills. 1t will re-
quire careful examination to state the entire
amount Pope took with him. 1t was learned
that Pope had left Saturday night for Chicago.
1t is supposed that he spent Sunday night with
his brother, Samuel Pope, there, and left in the
afternoon for Canada. He has been leading
Dr. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde life for some years, as
many of his boon companions are aware. At
his room on Jefferson street he frequently gave
wine suppers TO the young men OF his class and
fast women. He gambled, and was known as q
sucker" He was frequently drunk over
night, but was always at his desk promptly.
The bank officials state that the amount of the
robbery is Sc 900. They think he carried that
amount away with him.

the question of religion vast to be scrupulously
banished from the school-room. OF course, if
religious instruction was given after school
hours. he did not think there could be anything
Objectionable in that. The proposition was so
manifestly fair and the clergyman so evidently
sincere, that the Superintendent took the matter
serious under consideration, and will report
it favorably to the Board OF Education.
Archbishop Ireland is absent from the city,
but Father Conway was seen at the cathedral
tonight, and said that the Archbishop had ex-
pressed himself as follows: II have heard of
Father Flemings offer to the School Board of
the city, and l think it will strike all right
thinking men as most fair one. I think the
plan is one in full harmony with American
ideas, particularly with the truly American
principles OF liberty of conscience, which is a
Catholic principle as well as an American one.
The teachers and children might be examined
by the school officials of the State.
Il am sure Catholics would not object TO this.
Children and teachers might be subject in
everything except religion to to the Superintend-
ent Of Schools. If the State authorities so wish,
religion may not be taught during school hours.
Catholic teachers could give religious instruc-
ton before school opens or after it closes, or
before and after as is done in England.
There the Government School Inspectors ex-
anime the children in secular branches, and the
clergymen give religious instruction in the
schools, but outside of school hours, and every
thing moves with the regularity of clock

entire Washington family. Each hst, OF course,
received christening in due form.
As the twilight grew on apace the gathering
became so noisy that the proprietor sent word
to the bartender that he must remind those gen
tlemen that it was sunday, and not to do any
thing to hinder their speedy departure. A mes
senger was sent out for wagonette. The Com
mander made his way to the front seat beside
the driver and insisted upon taking the rens.

their sources of information, and upon second
refusal to answer to proceed against them for
contempt The resolution was supported by
Dolph, Wilson of Iowa and Harris, who argued
that it was incumbent upon the Senate to vindi-

Moody, Pettigrew and others took strong
grounds against the resolutions. Teller offered
as a substitute his resolution, proposed last
spring. for consideration of executive eombina-

AN ENTERING WEDGE.
A Catholic Move to Get Footing in the
Public Schools.

ST. PAUL (Minn }, March 4th.-In view of the
fact that in several cities Catholic priests have
recently ordered Catholic parents to send their
children to parochial schools exclusively an
event occurred here yesterday afternoon which
is remarkable, and may lead to a solution Of The
school question.
The Catholics have lately finished school
building in St. Johns Parish. Dayton's Bluff In
that section of the city the public schools have
been crowded all winter. and the Board of Edu-
cation had been considering what was best to
be done until spring, when building could be
erected Father Fleming, pastor of the parish,
learned of the dilemma and staggered Superin-
tendert Gilbert 50 that he could hardly believe
his senses by offering to donate the Catholic
school to the city only requiring that it pay the
absolute and necessary running expenses such
as the payment of teachers the purchase of fuel.

came up to the required standard they should
