In the Political Atmosphere in
the Vicinity of Dakota's
Capital.
Psttigrsw Makes . Speech in Caucus
threatening Those Who Fail
TO Vote for Moody.
A Ballot However Shows His Threat
Of No Avail--An Interesting
Fight

PIERRE, y. D., Jan. 23.--Special: This
morning there seems 10 be q slight
change In the political atmosphere. Pet
tigrew's speech In the republican caucus
last night, urging every republican TO
stand by tho nominee and threatening
politicsi death 10 all and any who did
not, possibly had the desired effect,
though some declare that II was indss-
Greet. The republican whips worked
diligently last night, and IL was said the
ballot this morning will show Moody will
have very near the entire republican
vote. II tAis Is true. Moody's election
seems assured, as II !s claimed that suffi-
cient independent votes are In sight
whenever the republicans vote solidiy
again. The independents are demoral-
iEed. In spite of the claims Of the lead
ers that the independents win win, many
are losing heart In the fight. 1t Is new
experience TO them, and they lack the
tenacity TO stick day after day
with little hope OF ultimate
success. Hence IL Is claimed this morn
ing that several independents aside from
those who heretofore gave pledges, will
vote for Moody and end the struggle. On
the other hand. the republicans who are
ct heart opposed TO Moody are more
rastiye than ever. One of them observed
that twenty-sIx republicans were ready
to call halt on Moody, while the ma
chine republicans favor lighting indef-
nitely on Moody. Many declare that
this days work must be decisive, so far
- Moody Is concerned. II he Is not
elected to-day they will demand change
Of candidates. In view of these asser-
tlons. to-dAy's baIlotlng will be watched
with peculiar interest. Thus far no Of
fort has been made to concentrate on
any other candidate,

a LAna Of Steamships from Engaand d
Chlomws row Probable.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 23.-About two
years ago . syndicate was formed In
London, whose object IL was 20 build .
line OF steamships 10 run from England TO
Chicago, bringing over miscellaneous
freight and carrying dressed beef and
dairy products back. Nothing was done
At that time. owing 10 the fact that Ca
madam canals would not accommodate
ships drawing nine feet of water. Re
Gently, the shallowest canal has been so
far improved as 10 afford depth OF over
nine feet and the project h being pushed
with . vigor which indicates that the
salt water ships may soon be steaming
up And down the great lakes. An agent
OF this syndicate Is now on q visit 10 the
different lake cities, making contracts
for freight by the new line. The capt,
tai stock will be 5000, 900, and there
will be ten steamships built TO begin
with. These steamships will cost from
sl4B. 900 10 $50, 900 each.

LONDON. Feb. l3.-The Canadian situa-
ton attracts much attention. The
Government manifests the greatest
concern in the outcome of Sir John
Macdonald's campaign. II is felt that
Canada Is about TO decide a momen-
tous question affecting all of the Eng
lish colonies. The press holds that
the Mckinley bill is responsible for
the situation. 1t is known that the
Government goes further back and
recognizes the fact that active meas
ures are necessary to revive the pres
ent dropping trade in Canada and
England.
While trade In other possessions is
increasing that in the Dominion Is
diminishing. During the year 1890
there were only l2,0O0,0a0 pounds
worth of Canadian imports. against
30, 600, 900 pounds worth from Austria
liza, and II, 900, 900 pounds worth from
the East Indies From the United
States. England took 20, ,000, 900 pounds
worth In the same year.
As a means OF weaning Canada from
any longings tor reciprocity or alb
so"ptlon, the Government. after con-
su1ting a number of big financial
houses, decided to bnck to an almost
unlimited extent the projected mail
routes to Japamand Australia, via tine
Canadian Pacific Railway. In connec-
ton with this route it is proposed TO
run line between port In the south
OF England and Halifax under IL Gov
ernmont subsidy, and also to proceed
Immediately to fOrtify Esquimalt as IL
tlrst-class naval station.

ST. JOINS, n. b., Feb. l3.-Immedi-
ately after the reading OF the Cover
nor's speech Mt the opening of the
Legislature to-day, Colonial Secretary
Bond proposed resolutions reciting
certain statements regarding the re-
neutrality-suspicious. which will cause
n stir In Canada, the United States and
England. The. resolutions We're dis
cEssed with closed doors, During the
discussion several of the most nota-
bly, conservative members expressed
strong sentiments in favor of anneNa-
tton and in condemnation of the un-
friendly attitude of Canada. Tie
resolutions were supported by the OPP
position, and were passed unanimous
ly and sent TO the Legislative Council
for their concurrence.
The preamble states that on July 8
the Newfoundland delegates proposed
to the British Government that New
foundland should be permittedl
through Sir Julian Pauncefotc, to ne
gotiate convention for reciprocal
trade with the United States. On Sep
tember this proposal was acquiesced
in, and consent was given for dele
cation to proceed to Washington to
aid ib said negotiations. On NUvem-
ber Colonial Secretary Bond was ad-
vised by the British Government to re-
turn to Washington 10 conclude the
negotiations. On December III satis--
factory convention was arranged an |
accepted on behalf of the United
States Government by Secretary
Blaine. Though strongly urged by
Newfoundland. the British Govern
ment up to date has declined to ratify
the convention.
The resolutions declare that tho
House views with profound dlsnp-
pointment and alarm the failure of her
Maiesty's Government TO carry out its
solemn obligations TO the colony, and
Is aware of the interference of Canada
i'll relation to this matter, and the
House cannot fail to appreciate the
same as menace to the Independence
of the colony The members emphati-
cally protest against the interests of
the colony being made subservient to
those of the Dominion, and regard the
delay that has occurred In the ratiiica-
tion of the convention as entirely un-
iustiiiable and evidencing an utter
disregard for the prosperity and well
being Of the colony.
II is resolved that tho delay occa-
stoned by her Majesty's Government
in ratifying the said convention is re-
garded by the Legislature as un-
friendly to the colony, and calculated
TO permanently disturb the loyalty for
which the colony has in the past been
remarkable and that the Legislature
most strongly urges her Maiesty's
Government to Immediately fulfill her
pledge to the colony by ratifying the
said convention.

Senate yesterday the Diplomatic Ap-
preparation bill was reported and
placed on the calendar The Commit
tee on Naval Affairs was authorized to
sit during the recess, to consider the
various naval bills before 1t, and inves-
tigate the condition OF the navy. Mr..
Jones reported a resolution author
izing the Select Committee on Rela.
tions with Canada to sit during the
recess. Objection being made the
resolution went to the calendar. A
message was received from the Presi-
dent announcing the death OF Ad-
miral Porter. After eulogistic remarks
by Messrs. Chandler, Plumb and Hale,
the Senate, as a mark of respect, ad-
iourned.
In tho House the Legislative Appro-
prlation bill was considered In the
Committee of the Whole. Mr.. Nc
Comas offered an amendment making
appropriations for the clerical force in
the Civil Service Commission not pro-
vided for in the current appropriation
act. The amendment was ruled out
by the Chair on point of order, and
on appeal the Chair was sustained. MIR.
Cannon then moved an amendment
providing for secretary and stenog-
rapher at $1,000 each. Mr.. Dingley
moved to amend by appropriating
1886 400 to enable the commission to
execute the provisions of the Civil
Service act. The amendment was
agreed to, and the Cannon amendment
rs amended was adopted. The bill
was then reported to the House and
passed. The Presidents message an
nouncing the death of Admiral Porter
was received and referred to the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs, and the House
adjourned.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Fob. 14.-The unex-
pected happened yesterday, though
without affecting the result in the
voting for U, s. Senator In the Illinois
Legislature. When the roll call was
ordered for the first ballot--the S5th
of the joint sessions-the Republican
steering committee attempted to
spring little surprise. Instead of
continuing for Iindley, the mandate
was silently circulated that the presi-
dent of the +. NJ. b. A. should he
dropped and the name of Richard j.
Oglesby, the regular party nominee,
substituted. Many Republicans who
had not been consulted In the pro-
posed change Of program repudiated
the mandate of the steering committee
and voted their individual preferences.
The ballot resulted as follows: Palmer,
l0l; Oglesby, 81; Llndley, 10; Steele, .;
l.. G. Hubbard, /; {. B. Farwell, /; NJ.
W. Matthews, 1; p. II. Donnelly, |. On
the SBth ballot the Republicans all
came into line for Lindley and the
vote was as follows: Palmer; 1Ol; Lind
ley, 100; Steele, ,: Hubbard, /. The
subsequent ballots showed no material
change. After the 95th ballot the joint
session adjourned.

Consumption Is at last acknowledged

1t. III taken at the right time-which,
bear in mind, is not when the lungs
are nearly gone-it will go right at
the seat OF the disease and accomplish
its work as nothing else in the world
can. 1t is the only medicine of its
class, sold by druggists, under posi-

cure In all cases OF disease for which IL
is recommended, or money paid for 1t

One ounce OF preventive is worth a
pound Of cure. If people would only
drink the water from the mineral
spring on the Philadelphia road, under
Dir. Speck's charge, they would be
greatly benefited. The doctor has
every facility for delivering the water.
1t is a cheap medicine, being only 25c
a gallon, Every day letters come from
parties the water has cured. You take
no drugs when you drink this water
1t puritle5 the blood, it augments the
appetite, tbs vital in all kidney disease,
1t cures cough, it is better In lung
diseases than DR.. Koch's lymph. Last
summer II lady came to the spring.
She had cough and pain In her side,
her skin was of "a yellow copper color.
She drank the water four months, and
gained twenty-five ponds, and left
the place a sound woman, her cough
being all gone. If DIR. Koch's lymph
had done that it would take all the
trumpets in the land to sound its
praise, and yet at your very door you
have the means to prevent disease and
substantiate the cure, and you will
not avail yourself of it. II is truly the
best cure for La Grippe that has ever
been found. When you lind the first
symptoms of La Grippe, have the
water at hand. Every two or three
hours take a cupful of the water as
hot as you can drink it for day; that
is all the medicine you need. Next
day you are cured. Then go on and
drink the water cold until the disease
Is all carried OF out of the system.
You will say in few weeks you never
felt so well in your life. DR.. Speck's
office is S05 Shipley street. All orders
Tor water will be promptly attended to
by him.
