HELENA, Mont, Jan. 6.-Gov. Toole made
new departure to-day in the matter Of
transmitting his annual message to the legis-
lature. He read il himself in presence of the
senate and Democratic house IN the hall of
the former body. The Republican house had
taken recess at the time till 3 o'clock,
though a majority of the senate had no in
tentlon of inviting that organization to at
tend the joint session. AS was done yester-
day. the senate recognized the Democratic
house all the way through, as did Gov. Toole
Outside the reading of the governors mes
sage. the only business done by the senate
and Democratic house was the passage of q
few minor resolutions. The Republican
house adopted rules designed to put on rec
ord the daily absence of the Democratic men,
bers, and providing for counting a quorum
when those present refuse 10 vote.
Republicans OF the house are talking
OF making proposition to the Democrats
looking to settlement Of all differences
The basis is that five Republicans and five
Democrats claiming seats from Silver Bow
county, remain away and allow the other
fifty members, half of whom belong to each
party and about whose election there is no
dispute, 10 get together and pass laws in con-
nection with the senate 4 somewhat sim
liar plan was proposed by the Democrats last
session and refused by the Republicans. AS
1t has not come officially the Democrats are
not in position TO take action. Many con-
seryatfye Democrats favor any plan that Will
bring about legislation without sacrifice Of
any vital principle, and think a fair PROPOSE
ton from the other side should be accepted
The more radical, however, favor the senate
and Democratic house going ahead aud pass
ing laws and taking chances on the supreme
court declaring them unconstitutional. In
the latter case, they say, the supreme court
should be impeached, an easy matter with
the senate Democratic. 1t is believed such
radical measures will not be resorted 10. but
that any fair proposition from Republicans
will lead TO an adjustment.

sharp watch to see that no one was behind
him. Finally the half breeds told certain
Indians that we were onto the scheme and
told the bucks to light out or the soldiers
would make il warm for them.
In all hour there was not an Indian in the
camp, except the uniformed scouts and po-
lice. Many dark look was passed and ugly
words spoken between the whites and reds
during that hour of stampede. Over twenty
five squaw men and their families drove with
frantic speed for the settlements along the
railroad. The houses and hotels were abaIi-
doned. every one going after a hasty apology
for supper to some store or warehouse where
there was a chance for resistance. Even
Gen. Miles remained up until 3 O'Clock this
morning. There are not near enough troops
here. battle is expected every day
with them, and it will be one OF the
hardest in the annals of Indian warfare.

the east and west and north, and On attack

THE PINE RIDGE PLOT.
Narrow Escape of the Agency
From Bloody Massacre.

PINE RIDGE, (via. Rushville, Neb,) Jan. 6.
Sunday night will never be forgotten by
anyone who spent it at Pine Ridge. The
Sabbath had opened bright, clear and warm.
The church bells rang and the three pastors
had crowded houses. In the afternoon, to-
ward 3 o'clock, it was noticed that the squa
men and half breeds were excited and hur-
ried from point to point with their guns in
their hands, Instantly everyone was on the
alert and running down the ravines. 1t was
found that half a dozen squaws had
been given the tip to skip, that
party of war bucks had visited the camp of
friendlies (so-called) who are camped with
in mile of the agency, and urged them to
help massacre all the agency. The Indians
have always been permitted to come IN, and
during the day and evening to wander
around the agency at their own sweet will,
carrying their guns in their hands. The
plan was to take advantage of this leniency
and gather in the town late in the evening,
out his man and kill him on the spot. The
success of such a plan was seif-evident.
There are less than 500 soldiers here, and
they are on the far outskirts of the village at
their earthworks. Such a force, with their
cannon, could keep a large number Of
Indians at distance In the daytime,
but at night the picket line is necessarily
weakened and drawn out into too long q line
to hold back any rush, while the cannons are
useless. The hostiles were to be close at
hand, and as soon as the firing began they
were to rush in. The citizens and reporters
as we'll as the soldiers soon learned the news.
Many d man thought of this or that Indian
with whom he had quarreled. and kept

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D.. Jan. 6.-The Demo-
cratic-Independent combine has scored a
victory in the organization of the house
to-day that means the retirement of
Senator Moody and election of Bartlett
Tripp United States senator. Every
Independent voted with the Democrats
on the organization which elected G.
X. Seward, Democrat, of WATERFOWL,
speaker over Robert Buchanan, Repub-
lcan, of Sioux Falls, by one majority,
with one Independent vote absent.
With the organization in their hands
and perfect harmony such as now eX-
lists. they are sure of success. The Re-
publicans generally are dismayed at the
result, and Moody's chances, tits con-
ceded, have gone glimmering. They
are still keeping up a show OF resist
ence, but when several election con-
tests in the house are decided, proba-
bly, giving the combine large and safe
majority. hope will depart altogether.
In the senate Republicans control by
one majority, electing all the officers Of
that body. j. n. Cone, chief clerk of
the last house, is reelected. while
Charles n. Cooper will act as secretary
of the senate, with minor officers suit
ing the dominant political complexion
of each branch.

HURON, S. D., Jan. 6.-Democrats are
greatly rejoiced over the election Of
Seward as speaker of the house. They
declare it insures Moody's defeat, and
puts TrIpp far ahead of any other can
didate for United States senate. Inde-
pendents also regard 1t as victory, a
victory for them and black eye for
Moody and the Republicans. The
board of county commissioners to-day,
after asting over fifty ballots, elected
G.. s. Spr ague chairman. Bonds of the
new offic ers will be approved and they
will take possession Of the Offices to-
morrow.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. 6.-The
defeat of Buchanan, of Minnehaha for
speaker of the house is regarded here
by Republicans as a serious blow to
Moodys' possible snccess. Its evident
that Buchanan polled the full strength
of the Republicans with the 81 votes
he received. Predictions are made
that Tripp or dark horse will become
the United States senator from South
Dakota.

will receive hearty reception when
he returns home. Republicans and
Democrats are satisfied more especial

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, D. D., Jan. 6.-The following is an
extract of Gov. Melette's annual message;
The first and most important subject for
your consideration Is the public finances.
The states financial condition could hardly
be more embarrassing, and her revenue syS-
TEN could scarcely be worse. No greater
service could be rendered the state by this
body than the adoption Of systematic.
comprehensive and efficient code Of revenue
laws, and rigidly restricting current expen-
ditures by adequate penalties 10 the revenues
thus produced. Without such legislation
financial disaster is sure to oyertake the
state to the irreparable injury of her credit,
her institutions and her business interests.
Members from counties containing public in
stitutions, and who may consider themselves
agents 10 procure large appropriations in the
interest of their constituencies rather than
in the interest of the state should consider
whether they would not prefer warrant for
81, worth 100 cents. TO warrant for so,
worth 100 cents in the market, remembering
that the latter condition means final ruin TO
the state and her institutions. There is only
one safe policy for the state or the individ-
ual, and that is to live within her income 1t
is bad enough for an individual to mortgage
his farm for the entire value of his improve
ments, and he surely cannot after that afford
to borrow for the maintenance of his house
hold. The state. having built her public in
sItuions entirely on borrowed capital, must.
at least maintain them out of The current
revenues.
There are now outstanding against the
state about SIG, 900 il warrants indorsed by

THAT SILVER BRICK
Director Leach Sustains the Mint
Superintendent.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Messrs. Merrick and
Morse, the gentlemen who recently rendered
a silver brick to the superintendent of the
mint at Philadelphia to be made into silver
dollars for their benefit, to-day made writ
ten demand upon the director of the mint to
instruct the superintendent of the mint at
Philadelphia to receive and coin the silver
bullion, as requested. Director Leach replied
to them, sustaining the action of the super
intendent and said:
1.-THE only authority of law for the receipt
of silver bullion at the mints Of the United
States for coinage into silver dollars is that
contained in the act of July ID, 1890, which
provides:
Section /. That the secretary of the treas
ury is hereby directed to purchase from time
to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount
of 800, 900 ounces, or SO much thereof as
may be offered i'll each month, at the market
price thereof
Sec 2. That the secretary of the treasury
shall each month coin 2OOO.OO0 ounces Of
the silver bullion purchased under the pro-
and any gain or seigniorage arising from
such coinage shall be accounted for and paid
into the treasury.
At the date you presented the bar of silver
at the mint at Philadelphia the superintend-
ant was instructed by the department to pay
Sl.U3l2 per fine ounce for silver offered for
sale, corresponding TO the market price -
If he had received the bar of silver for coin
age into silver dollars for your benefit he
would have paid at the rate of Sl.29 29.100
per fine ounce, which would have been in
violation of law and instruction of the de-
partment."

SHORT SENATE SESSION.
In Which DonneIly Downs Ives on
a Motion to Adjourn.


1t was a few minutes after IL o'clock
when Lieut.. Gov. Gideon S. Ives slowly
walked up the steps leading to the
speakers chair. In his hand he carried
a small gavel, which he soon brought
down with the remark: "The gentle
men will please come to order" After
a few moments silence the lieu
tenant governor introduced a clerical
looking gentleman with the announce
ment that Rev. Mr.. Carnahan, of the
First Presbyterian Church of st. Paul,
had consented to act as chaplain for the
senate yesterday morning. The SEN
atorS rose and the minister made short
and impressive prayer, whose only SEN
SatiOnal portion was sentence i'll which
the good man beseechtd that mo SEN
ator would look OH a bribe."
The presiding officer then announced
that the first thing in order would be
the presenting of the certificates of
election of the members to Secretary
pro tempore Senator Frank A. Day.
This was followed by The roll call,
which disclosed the presense of fifty
three out of tifty-four members. the
only abSentees being senator e. ID. Ham,
mer, of Fillmore, who is now seriously
ill at his home in Spring Valley. The
members then marched up to the sec
retary's desk and were sworn in all at
once by the lieutenant governor.
81 move we adjourn until 8 o'clock
this afternoon" said Senator Ignatius
Donnelly.
This motion was seconded by Sen ator
Gelssel, of Morrison, but Gov. Ives
announced that he was in doubt
whether such motion was in order, on
account of that section of the law
which provides that the senators upon
being sworn in shall proceed to the
the election of secretary. Mr..
Donnelly soon demonstrated the
absurdity of this idea, citing
a case where there was a tie. Under
this ruling the members could be kept
together all winter without adjourn
ment. President Ives decided the Sage
was correct, and the motion prevailed
by the following vote:
Ayes-Senators Bell, Borchert Brown,
Burkhardt, Craig, Craven Dedon, Donnelly,
Erickson, Geissel, Crate, Guderam, Hompe,
