STATE CANVASSING BOARD.
Tho State Canvassing board met yes
terday at Pierre to canvass the vote Of
November 4. The approximate plu-
rality for Mellete is 1900; congress.
men 5000; state officers. $4,000; The
Majority for Pierre is about 1000;
against increase of debt, $4,000 against
woman suffrage, $4,000, in favor Of
Indian suffrage, 6,OOJ. This latter vote
is the most astonishing thing ever to
I've immagined, and the first thing TO be
done by the legislature is to correct it.
The blind way Of printing the tickets
is alone to blame. South Dakota
cast 1850 votes. 1t is making a very
dispasslonate statement when tue Rec
ord claims that 77,450 votes would
have been cast against Indian suffrage

MAY LttOSE 10000 ACRES.

P1ERRs. S. d., Dec, 3,-The state of
South Dakota Is liable to louse some
10000 acres Of land granted by the
general government. The register and
receiver Of the Pierre land office
today received a decision rendered by
the United States Land Commissioner
Cot in the matter of state indemnity
school lands. In accordance with the
enabling act tho legislature ordered
Land Commissioner Parker select
the school lands. These altogether
amount to about seventy
thousand acres. Commissioner Parker
wanted these from this district, but
the application is denied by the
general land Office. This means that
the state shall select the indemnity
lands in the districts in which they
occur. In the Huron. Aberdeen, and
Pierre districts sufficient land remains
to provide for this, but in the Water.

these lands remain and forty thousand
acres may he lost. The cause will lie

THE PENSION APPROPRIATION BILL.
A Rough Sentence.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 20.-A whirlwind OF ex-
citement has been caused in civilian cir
cles by the action of the regular army
court martial in ordering soldier to be
imprisoned for year for refusing to do
menial duty for an officer. On uctoner "A
1889, Dell P. Wild, II private in troop +,
Sth cavalry, was ordered by I'd Lieut.. M.
f. Steele to assist him In placing piece
of canvas upon shed belonging to the
officer. Wild refused the request and is
saii to have remarked: 81 am working
for Uncle Sam, not for you" A court
martial was convened and Wild was con-
victed for disobeying orders. The finding
was approved by Gen. Ruger, command
ing the department. The punishment
allotted to the soldier is that he he DIS
honorably discharged from service, brand
ed as convict. his pay and his allow
ances forfeited and that he be confined at
hard labor for one year in the military
prison at Fort Smelling. The sentence is
said to be the severest known in times OF
peace, and it is reported that indignant
citizens will appeal to the secretary of war
in his behalf,

HOUSE.

HOUSE.
The house resumed consideration OF
the bill for Temporary government for
Oklahoma. The general debate was
limited to three and one-half hours, de-
spite the appeal OF Mr.. Barnes and others
for five hours time, and in retaliation for
the enforced limitation, they called for
the reading of the original senate bill
and the house substitute, together fifty
nine printed pages. One hour and twen-
ty minutes was consumed in the reading,
and it was after 3 o'clock before Mr..
Slruble Qowa) took the floor in support
of the bill. He criticized the senate bill
because it failed to include all Creek and
Seminole lands purchased under the last
administration. The house bill embraced
all of the territory not occupied by the
five civilized tribes. This tract, in area,
compared favorably with the surrounding
states, it was in the heart of the country
well watered, with 1900 miles of rail
road with business enterprise, Goa
lands, agricultural industries and a pop
ulation of 10000. The house bill pro
posed to o-gauize it into a territory. The
first part of the bill related to territoria
officers and is similar in that to the sen
ate bill. For convenience, six countie
were to be established. Provisions wer
made for the establishment OF a suprem
court and for the trial of cases. Nations
banks could be established. "No Man

nor deny the statement, but he said
"You can say that the committee will
take reasonably good care Of lead"

that the appeal made by the west for fair
treatment against the evasion Of the law

Sec. Window would not heed has had its
due elect upon the committee.

CONDITIONS MOST FAVORABLE.
Local biologists Quite Elated Over the
Artesiau Water Indications.

The theorists as well as those who have
liking for geological study haven't been
inclined to enthuse much over the proba-
BILE results OF the artesian well expert
ment till now. Some have maintained
that once bed rock proper was struck
there was no telling how many thousand
eet the drill would have to 90 to pene
trate it, while others have declared that
"the wash" from the mountains, the
made ground in the valley, was itsei
more than 1000 feet deep, aud hencc
any contract calling for but ! 900 feet o.
experimental work would not prove any
thing one way or The other.
Since the presentation OF the NEW
MExICAN's sectional view diaLram, now
ever, much more favorable view l.
taken by all. The fact that 50 many dill
ferent veins of water have been struck
and the more important fact also tina
"hard pan" clay has been encountere'
Immediately under a stratum OF l20 fee
of sand stone, is considered as mos
promising of good results. The loca
biologists say that ii in going down tn

or another stratum of clay, then an a.

did not think the lottery people would

1t is believed that some OF the indi-

on territories are in favor Of reporting an
enabling act for the admission Of New
MeXiro INTO the union. 1t is thought
that If the New Mexico people had come
forward united in support Of good con-
stilution they would have had better
chance Of favorable action. The disa
greement among the politicians there has
operated to keep the territory out Of the
union 1t is probable that congress will
take no favorable action on the question
of the admission of New Mexico until the
people Of that territory succeed in healing
their differences.

OPPOSITION on POLITICAL GROUNDS.

Mr. Springer, OF Illinois, says the Dem
ocrats will not oppose the bill upon its
merits, bnt some Of them, he experts, will
10 so on political grounds. Mr.. kilgore,
of Texas. has assured Delegate Carey that
he, for one, will notoppose the bill, as he
believes i'll giving each party an equal
chance to fight it out in the elections after
the admission.
Delegate Carey says that Mr.. Brecken-
ridge, Of Kentucky, will not oppose the
oil, hut that Mr. Holman will probably
i-ht it unless the Democratic territories
are also admitted.
Senator Plutt, of Connecticut, chairman
Of the committee on territories, has given
notice in the senate that he will call up
the Wyoming bill for final action in that
body at the earliest possible moment.
