use of dynamite, but after the
water is let out there will be much heavy

A Burning Cfty.

DENVER, COL, February IL, II a. m.--
Word has just been received in this city
of verv destructive FIRE now in progress
at Fort Collins. 1t looks as though the
whole business portion of the city ia
doomed, the water pressure being go
weak that the iremen are unable to get
stream higher than the second floor,
while an unusually high wind is blowing.
Superintendent Dickinson, of the Union
Pacific, is upon the ground, and has or
dered special train made up at Greeley
to bring the fire department of that city
to Fort Collins. They will start inside
of half an hour unless there is change
for the better.
1890 a. m.-The fire is virtually un-
der control at Fort Collins. The water
works have succeeded in getting up
high pressure, and the flames are fast
being subdued. The loss is estimated at
between $4,000 and $55 900. The
heaviest loss falls upon the extensive i'm
plement warehouse of A. H. Patter-
son, which was completely gutted, the
walls having fallen and greatly assisted
the firemen in confning the fire to that
and few adjoining buildings.

THE Council yesterday passed the
three separate ordinances calling cleo

March 18th, the vote will be taken upon
the proposition to issue bonds to the
amount of 1914, 400, to construct the sys-
tenn of interior sewers as delineated in
the plans Of the City Engineer; on
March 14th the vote will be upon the
issue Of $527, 300 bonds for the construc-
ton of storm drains, and on March 18th,
the vote will be to issue $696,775 bonds
for the proposed outfall sewer to the sea

probability, vote favorably for the con-

either of the other two propositions will

TUEsDAY. FEBRUARY II, 1890.
ssThe Semblance of klnRIy
CrOWn,,

And now comes a new and brilliant
parliamentarian to enlighten the world
with his effulgent views about the arbi-
trary ruling of Speaker Reed
He tells everybody to consult Gushing
and they will find that Reed is right.
He is careful, however, not to tell US
what Cushing says that makes Reed
right. Cushing tells us to count for q
quorum. All well enough. For q CEN
tury and over Speakers have counted for
quorum, but only those were counted
who voted, not those who did not vote.
The House certainly has the power to
make it's own rules. Nobody has OBJ
iected to or denied that. But everybody,
excepting blind Republican partisans,
denies that the Speaker, before rules
have been adopted by the House, has
the power to change established parlia-
mentary usage, or to rule in the face of
long-established precedent. No one
is at all deceived at Reeds tactics. In
order to strengthen the Republican ma
jority in the House, it was necessary to
seat seventeen contesting Republicans.
This could not be done under the estab-
lished rules. Therefore it became neces-
sary to make change by which the bare
Republican majority, even with only a
minority present, could work their
point smoothly without available OBJ.
struction from the large Democratic
minority. This could only be accom-
plished by the Speaker assuming the
responsibility of changing the estab-
lished rules himself. He has done 80.
On his own motion he has set
aside the parliamentary law of the
House from the beginning. That enables
compact minority Of the whole
House to carry any measure they
please. Reed having laid the ground
work for the innovation and set aside the
rule which requires that memb bers should
vote before they can be counted in order
to make up quorum. the passage of the
rules that are to govern the session, with
Reeds alteration incorporated in them,
becomes an easy matter. Without Reed,
the rule could not have been changed at
this time. With Reed all things are
possible, even to the formal passage of
rules which will enable Reed to muzzle
Democratic members at his own sweet
will. If q Democrat makes q motion
no matter how relevant or how much in
order, King Reed has only to determine
that it is 'dilatory" to shut him out. If
this is not the essence of tyranny instead
of the freedom of debate. what is it?
This rule, coupled with the other, makes
the Speaker the autocrst of the House,
and more potent in ths passage or rejec-
ton of bills than any man has ever been
in the history of the country. The Veto
power Of the President is nothing to the
power Reed will exercise under his self
assumed kingly prerogative.

Boomers Make q Hash Break for
the Mile Square.


ST. PAUL, February 1e.-A Pioneer
Press Pierre, S. D., special says: The
news. here, this afternoon, that the
President had issued a proclamation
opening the Sioux reservation, was re.
ceived with the widest kind of excite.
ment. Cannons doomed and flags waved
from every prominent building. Imme-
diately after the news reached
here there was general stam-
pede for the reservation lands by boomers
and settlers who had been patiently
waiting for the proclamati for weeks.
Immediately across the river from Pierre
is located the famous Smile square," on
which is situated the city OF Fort Pierre.
1t was tnis mile square that the settlers
first rushed for, but as the military
headquarters are stationed there, and as
no orders had been received from head
quarters to allow settlers to cross the
river, trouble Immediately ensued.
The boomers had about fifty wagons
loaded with supplies, which were fol-
lowed with number of wagons loaded
with ready made houses. The boomers
proceeded straight across the river to the
number OF about 900, headed by Hon.
j. L. Shinn, a member of the Ohio Legis-
lature. The military authorities saw the
boomers approaching, and immedi-
ately q solid column formed
along the bank of the river. AS
the boomers approached they were told
to halt, but instead of doing go the
column swung round and the two
columns then stood horizontally and
faced each other. Colonel Tassep. ia
command of the soldiers, then came for
ward and parleyed with the boomers,
and told them they would not be allowed
to cross until further orders were re-.
ceived FROM the Interior Department
At first the boomers insisted they would
cross, but were finally compelled to cross
back to the city.
The situation down the river is more
serious. About mile east of the city ia
these we're more desperate. just at the
time the news was received here, the
guards along the river changed, and the
fresh guards did not leave Fort Pierre
until few minutes after the new shift
had come into town; as q conse-
quence the East Pierre crowd were
in the reserve before noticed, and had
already commenced to settle. Tne regu-
lars wore soon in hot pursuit, and sue
cseded in capturing all but few boom
ere. Many were put in the guard house
at Fort Pierre.
Up to the present time no orders have
been received by the officers in COM
mand to allow. any one to encroach upon
the reserve. Each minute adds to the
horde, and the bank of the river tonight
is literally lined with men, houses and
teams. Some have county organization
with officers and records, and
nearly all are armed. 1t is prob
trnnhla after the opening of the lands be.

Business Rrighteniug I'm,

SAN Francisco, February 10.-Busi-
ness in this city in every branch of trade
has begun to show the reviving influence
OF good weather. Money is easier and
the general condition is now considered
excellent. Captain w. L. Merry, who
is in position to learn of such matters,
holds that the socalled financial strin-
gency has existed largely in imagination.
Whatever tightness has existed has un-
doubtedly been felt chiefly by those
speculatiDg in mining stocks or other
securities of doubtful or, at least prob

The North Dakota Lottery Scheme
Fails Through.

BISMARCK, N. D., February 10.--The
great lottery scheme suddenly collapsed
today without q single note of warning.
The friends OF the bill in the House
moved ito indefinite postponement, and
carried the motion. They then advised
the Senate OF the death of the measure.
The real reason for the breakdown has not
developed, unless the pressure of Pfesi-
dent Harrison and others in Washington.
as we'll as the presence of detectives and
newspaper correspondents who were in
opposition, was too much for the lottery
people. In the Senate committee was
appointed to investigate the charges of
bribery in connection with the lottery
business.

THE Supreme Court has reversed its
ruling in murder cases which divided
the burden of proof between the State
and the defendant. In 1855, in the trial
of Hong All Duck, the Supreme Court
held that, under section l Jos of the Penal
Code, the State should prove beyond a
reasonable doubt that the defendant had
committed the homicide; and then that
it devolved upon the accused to show
justification or mitigation. Since that
trial, the Courts of the State have all fol.
lowed this ruling. Now the Supreme
Court, in the case of the State VS.. Bush.
ton, reverses the rule, and says that
whilst the burden of proof is upon
the defendant to show circum-
stances in mitigation, yet, if upon
the whole case the jury enter
tain reasonable doubt as to the guilt
OF the accused, the prisoner shall be &C.
quilted. This would particularly apply
to cases where the plea of insanity is
made. In those cases the doubt would
naturally 60 to all parts of the trial and
not merely be confined to the mitigating
circumstances. If juror doubt the
sanity of a prisoner. and the law holds
that an insane person cannot commit a
crime, the doubt as to his sanity would
have rs great force in law as reason-
able doubt Of his having com mmitted the
crime. Thus it ia decided that in the
most serious trials that can come
before court of justice, the
courts have for thirty-fve years
been sending people to prison and
the gallows by a false construction OF
their rights under the law. II is a pretty
rough confession for the Supreme Court
to make, and would perhaps be consid-
cred a whimsical episode if it were not
that hundreds of men have been exc
cutec under the wrong ruling who would
not have been done to death if the courts
could have found out what was the right
law in time. This reverse ruling of the
Supreme Court will give new trials to
many persons in prison for murder whose
trials or indictments have occurred
within year from the time of the adop.
tion of the new Interpretation of the law.
