SENATOR PETrlGRRw ANGRY.
He Criticises Sensational Statements
in Chicago Papers.

in Chicago Papers.
CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Senator r. r. Petit
grew Of South Dakota was in the city few
hours yesterday. He was very angry at
some Of the local papers on account of
statements published in them concerning
the destitution in South Dakota.
"The reports from first to last were mali
cious and without any foundation In truth. "
said the senator. "They we're written for
the purpose Of keeping capital away from
South Dakota. and accomplish that pur-
pose.
~ don't believe" he continued, s'that the
Dakota farmers will be able TO borrow
money for anything like a reasonable rate
during the coming year, simply because it
has been represe ted that the wheat lands
are non-productive, and that the farmers
are out Of money and suffering from hunger.
Both houses Of the South Dakota legislature
passed a resolution the other day instruct
ing the delegates in congress TO vote to
keep the worlds fair away from
Chicago. l intend to follow the recon-
mendation Of the legislature, and l shall
work against Chicago simply because the
Chicago papers have lied about South
Dakota. Not only that. but will see that
the other delegates in congress vote as do
and work as do OF course, II the South
Dakota legislature rescinds this action,
why, will follJw any recommendation
made. Before the papers published articles
declaring that there was destitution In the
state most Of the South Dakota people
favored Chicago for the fair. A resolution
10 that effect was passed by the legislature
Now the people are all against this city.
You couldn't find Chicago man in all
South Dakota. They favor 81. Louis or
New York or Washington, or anything to
beat Chicago. HW
''It Is very plain TO me why the reporters
sent from Chicago to South DAKOTA failed
TO tell the truth about the condition Of the
people. They wont there for the purpose
OF writing a sensation. Perhaps the corre-
spondsnt did not intend 20 telegraph false
hoods, but, whether the int ltion was there
or not, tho falsehoods have surely been
printed

BIRDS OF PLUMAGR.
State to Pay $4,000 More for
Second Edition of the Book.

A State to Pay $4,000 More for a
Second Edition of the Book.
HARRISBURG, PA, Feb. 9.-"Birds of
Pennsylvania" is the title of a popular
illustrated work which is now running
through the second edition at the expense
of the state. There were 5000 copies of the
first edition published, and these were
gobbled up by the legislators in short order.
This edition cost nearly S11, 900, the hand
some lthographing of gaily-plumaged birds
being very expensive, each cut costing
about S450
When the first edition had appeared and
been circulated it was discovered that many
of the native birds were omitted, and a
second revised edition was demanded. This
loud call for the illustrated docume 1t could
not be resisted by the last legislature, and
another bill was passed authorizing ths
Publication Of $4,000 copies, which will cost
$55,000 or thereabouts, inasmuch as the
Autographs are about doubled in each COPY,
as well ai the pages.
Gov. Beavers order for the second edition
was placed in the hands Of the state printer
a few days ago, and the revised "Birds of
Pennsylvania" will be out during next
summer.

WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.
What the Two Houses Will Probably
Do This Week.

WhaC the TWO HOUSES VIII PROBABLY
Do This Week.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The new code of
rules will be the chief subject of interest to
come before the House of Representatives
for consideration this week 1t is the in
tention of the committee on rules to call it
up as early as possible and to ask the House
so to limit the debate as that final action on
the subject may be reached within two or
three days. While there are many of the
new rules that are obnoxious to the demo-
Gratis, it is not probable that opposition will
be manifested otherwise than by speeches
and by adverse votes upon them, provided
the minority are afr 1rded what they regard
as reasonable time for discussion
Probably by the time the rules are dis
posed of the committee on elections will
have reported the contested election case of
Atkinson VS.. Pendleton, from West Vlr-
ginia, and action upon that case will con-
sumo the remainder of the week, with the
possible exception of the unfinished busi-
ness, which is the bill to extend the circula-
ton of banks.
Mr.. Mckinley said tonight that three
days debate on the rules would be quite
enough. The republicans had determined
in caucus what they would do about the
rules. and did not need to waste time talk
ing about them. They would let the
democrats do most of the talking.

Two SluRgers Full of Enmity Unable
to Deal a Knock Out Blow.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 9.-Andy Bowen. a
local lightweight, who has challenged Billy
Meyer, had a fight with skin gloves at
Abita Springs to-day with Charley john
son, WHO claims to be from Minneapolis.
There has been bad blood between the men.
johnson was one of the fight
ers imported by Dennis F. Butler. and
was charged by the Bowen party with pa
ticipating in the loading of McHale's gloves.
Bowen told his managers that fight must
be made If not cent was in sight, so it
was fixed for 500 a side, all the money
johnson could raise, and all the gate
receipts.
PROVED GREAT FIGHT.
1t turned out to be a great fight, lasting
three hours and twelve minutes, and would
have been going on yet but for the arrival
of the train.
In the first round Bo ven rushed his man
and knocked him down three times, punish
ing him severely around the body, but not
sufficient to knock him out. Bowen was
not hurt, but exhausted his vigor in one
round, and was not strong enough at any
future time to deliver the finishing touch.
After the first round Bowen continued to
force the fighting, but his plucky leads met
with clinching and Johnson's clever
upper cuts in the face This con-
tinued until the sixth round, when Bowen
cut his eye against rough stake in clinch,
and had his lip cut in the two following
rounds. After that he waited for johnson
to lead, but the latter could not be
coaxed or abused into doing it.
The fight lasted for forty-three rounds
without being finished

He Will Give Up His Trips to His
Philadelphia Sunday School.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Postmaster Cen
eral Wanamaker does not propose to con-
tlnue going to Philadelphia to attend the
Bethany services every week. To-day, for
example, he spent in Washington with his
family. This evening he sat with them in
his pew near President Harrison in the
Church of the Covenant. Mr.. Wanamaker
arrived before the services and went into the
Sunday school, over which DR.. Hamlin, the

Hamlin seeing Mr.. Wanamaker, called

from Niles City to Helena.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Feb. GA special to
the Pioneer Press from Helena, Mont, says;
senator Becker, the democratic absentes,
ar ested at Miles City Friday, was brought
into Helena on special train last night by
Sheriff Parker. When Bozeman was
reached the dem Gratis had Sheriff Parker
arrested for kidnapping, on a warrant
issued by a justice of the peace. Sheriff
Parker did not feel disposed to obey the
warrant, but the sheriff who served It was
accompanied by crowd Of Bozeman men
who would probably have taken the pris-
oner away had he resisted. He went to
court and easily gave bonds for his appear
ance next week.
TAKEN IN ON A SPECIAL.
"a special train was then made up and
brought Sheriff Parker and Senator Becker
to Helena. Senator Becker was brought
into the Senate, which was in session, and
the question whether or not he should be
fined for contempt was taken under con-
slderation by the committee on privileges
and elections. The presence OF Senator
Becker makes quorum, and the Senate
will probably sit all night and pass laws, as
it is expected that the other democratic
absentees will be present Monday to block
proceedings"
BECKER COUNTED TO MAKE QUORUM.
HELENA, Feb. 9.-The republican House
and Senate were in session until 2:30 o'clock
this morning, and passed eight appropria-

HISC0CK'S COLORED GIRL.
THE PLATE PRINTERS UNION IN A
ROW WITH THE GOVERNMENT.

eecretary Window Declares Himself
Unable to Revoke the appointment
The Printers Resigning Their Situa-
tions-The Union Agrees to Stand by
Them-Senstor Buffers Views.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-The appointment
Of Senator Hiscock's young colored woma n
in the bureau of engraving and printing
has gotten the administration into dis
agreeable controversy with the Plate Print
ers Union Of Washington. The union, hav-
ing appealed to Secretary Window to
revoke the appointment and having been told
that the appointment could not be revoked,
has informed the plate printers in the bu-
reau that it will support them in their re-
fusal to let the colored girl assist them. The
union has already provided for one who was
discharged for refusing to let the girl
assist him, and will take care of the others,
who expect to be discharged this week for
the same reason.
SHE PASSED AN EXAMINATION.
Secretary Window says that he will stand
firm, the girl having been appointed after
examination and certified to by the COM
mission under the civil service rules. Sena-
tor Butler, being interviewed about this
case, is quoted as saying: "There are
great many persons who have been crying
and voting for the political equality of the
two races. They have got it now, and
should not complain. These colored people
are our political equals, and they demand
these Offices, and under the exi ting condi-
tions they have right to them. l believe
their appointment is nothing new. They
are sprlnkled plentifully through all the de-
partments of the government.
DON'T WANT THEM AT WEST POINT.
81 do not favor the appointment of
negroes to West Point or Annapolis, be-
cause it places them in a false position; a
position in which justice is not and cannot
be done the negro himself. This applies
also to many other positions into which he
is thrust. There are some places even beyond
or higher than servants in which l think
negroes do very we'll, but l will say frankly
that | am not in favor of placing them in
positions where they come into contact with
whites against the will of the latter, be-
cause, as 1 stated before, it, is not for the
best interests of either whites or blacks.
NOT THE NEGROES FOE.
"The impression has gotten out that am
unfriendly to the negro and want to send
him to Africa. Now, do not want to do
anything of the sort, and there is nothing
of the kind in my bill do not dislike the
negro at all, q lite the contrary. The pur-
pose of my bill was to relieve the congestion
in Ger tain portions of the south, and not to
deport the negro. The southern people
have no more prejudice against the colored
race than people in the north. That, |
think, was clearly demonstrated long ago.

nearly every one brought interesting news
in relation to stormy times at sea.
The Orinoco had rough voyage from
Bermuda.
The Tower Hill, from London, sighted a
big icefeld that has been reported so often
by other steamers. She had the somewhat
novel experience of sailing nearly a
whole day over sea that had scarcely a
ripple upon it. The next day she passed
five icebergs.
The Umbria sighted several icefelds and
bergs, but had nothing very exciting to re-
port about rough seas.
