The message of the retiring governor is
considered particularly strong, exhaust
i've and positive. 1t is pretty generally
believed that Gov. Miller is candidate
for
Pierce's SenatOrship
and many of the older politicians ex-
pected that his message OH retiring
from the governorship would be of a
mild, sugar-and-water taste, calculated
to sWeeten his friends and tickle the
palate of the opposition. But either
Gov. Miller Is not candidate or his
political Judgment is considerably ham
pered by limits. as, instead OF trying to
to please or appease, his retiring mes
sage tells the plain, hOmely truth in a
plain, homely way, and, though his
ideas do not please all factions, by any
means, yet his strong and vigorous
handling of public questions from his
own standpoint of belief has created re-
spect and admiration in quarters where
before he had only opposition. The tall
and commanding figure of Hon. Bill
Erwin, of st. Paul. has become famil-
lar sight about the loDbies where the
senatorial fight is hottest. Some say he
has come up as attorney for the contest
cases. Others affirm he has come as a
Moses to the independent Farmers AL
lance faction to lead them out of the
wilderness and chaos OF the senatorial
squabble. Still others state that Bill is
here to keep cases on the weak mem
bers who are believed to have an itching
palm for the
Senatorial ReodIe
which is popularly supposed to be lying
around in little heaps in the cracks and
corners of the hotels, and some other
guessers attributed widely different the
ories as TO the object of his presence,
which would seem to indicate to the
casual listener that nobody really knows
just why Bill is here, though it is, per-
haps, quite fair to presume that his
visit to North Dakota just at this juno
ture is not altogether connected with
the state of his health.
Among other distinguished politicians
from various parts who are now visiting
in this city, and who have no visible
connection with legislative matters,

PROMISES TO SIOUX.
Senator Dawes Says They Have
All Been Carried Out.

All Been Carried Out.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-In the senate
Mr.. Dawes presented conference re-
port on the bill to carry out, in part. the
provisions of the act to divide the Sioux
Indian reservation; and in response to
a question by MI. Edmunds, made an
explanation. He said that the COM
mission of which Gen. Crook was the
head had promised the Sioux Indians,
in the course of the negotiations, to use
its influence at Washington for the re-
dress of certain grievances. The COM
mission had subsequently met forty
representatives of the Indians at the
reservation where the present out
break occurred to see to it that
those outside assurances were car
ried out. The Indian committees Of
both houses were also present; and all
being together bin had been prepared
to carry out exactly the assurances as
the Indians understood them. That
bill had passed the senate in April last,
but from difficulties in the other branch
of congress it had not passed the house
till last month; and then it contained
duplicate appropriation of 100000. The
senate had struck out that duplicate ap-.
prOprlaGlOn, ana nence the necessity or
a conference. AS the bill now stood
with that duplicate appropriations
struck OUT. the bill carried out to the
letter not only the assurances of the
commission as the commission UNDER.
stood them, but also precisely rs the In
dians themselves understood them. So
that with the original bill and with the
pending bill all the stipulations of the
agreement and all the assurances of the
commission would be fulfilled; and
there could be no ground on which the
Indians could complain of the govern
ment in any matter out of which the
existing disturbances had arisen.

PAUL PRY ANDERSON.
He Wants to Have a Finger in the
"President's Meeting"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-In the house
to-day Representative Anderson, Of
Kansas, presented for printing in the
Record resolution calling on the inter-
state commerce commission for the fol-
lowing information:
Ffrst-Whether the commission has reason
to believe that several railroad companies
operating west of Chicago or the Mississippi
river are seeking to enter into any form OF
combination that will enable the comblna-
ton or its agents to control the charges made
to the public by any of the companies Tor
the transportation of interstate passengers or
freight.
Second-Whether it has reason to believe
agreement of a similar tenor, is sought to be
made by the following railroad companies:
Missouri Pacific, Atchison, Topeka d Santa
Fe; Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific, Union
Pacific, Chicago u Northwestern: Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy and the Missouri, Kan
sas q Texas.
Third-Whether any combination of any OF
said companies has been formed or attempted
to be formed, known as the Western Traiiic
association, possessing power to affect the
charges made to the public,
Fourth-Whether the commission can FUR
nish an approximate estimate of the popula-
ton of the states or territories affected by
such charges.
Fifth-Whether any form of agreement has
been entered into by any of the companies
to make territorial division of the railway
business.
Sixth-Whether any pooling agreement has
been entered into. Also whether II such
combination exists the people have any sef-
fective safeguard against eXorbitant charges,
and whether they possess power to secure an
enforcement of the law and pun1shment OF
the conspiracy, and if not what further Leg
iSlatiOn is necessary.

CALLED TO TIME.
Reckless Statements by Repub-
Iicans Contradicted.

Iicans Contradicted.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Mr. Butter
worth Ohio. from the committee on ap-
propriations, reported the legislative
appropriation bill. and it was placed on
the calendar. The house then went into
committee of the whole (Mr. Dingley, of
Maine, in the chair,) on the army ap-
propria ion bill. Mr.. Cutcheon, of
Michigan, chairman of the committee
on military affairs, explained that the
bill was purely an appropriation meas
ure and contained no general legislation
whatever. The amount carried was
1924, ,639, 900. 100000 more than the
appropriation for the current year.
Mr. Lauham, of Texas, member of the
committee, congratulated the house
that no partisanship had entered into
the consultations of the committee in
formulating this measure. He proceeded
to make an eloquent and patriotic
speech against sectionaliSm. The South,
he said, knew no other flag than that
which hung over the speakers head.
and it served no other country than this
great republic. He said in conclusions:
God speed the day when the North and
South all shall meet as one. to the glad vel
come Of their country's call.
Mr.. Kerr said that until the people of
the South conceded to the colored men
their constitutional rights the people of
the great North would be a unit on this
fundamental principle that citizen
could cast his vote and have it counted
according to his will. He paid his re-
spects to the state of Missouri as refus-
ing to honor Union soldiers by not elect
ing them to public offices.
Mr.. Tarsney, of Missouri, said that it
was not true that a man could not be
elected in Missouri if he had served in
the Union army, and he cited number
of Union soldiers who had been sent to
this house by Democratic votes. The
Democratic governors of that state, he
said, had been almost entirely Union
men. When the gentleman charged a
state with disloyalty he ought to have
the record to prove it. Missouri had
sent more soldiers to the Union army
than the state of Iowa. Her people
were not talking war. as most of them
had been in it. and therefore did not
have to talk about it.
Pending further debate, the commit
tee rose and eulogistic addresses were
made in memory of the late Joseph p.
Walker, Of Missouri The house then
adjourned.

MORGAN ON SILVER.
The Senator Quotes the Late Mr.
Beck on Free Coinage.

The Senator Quotes the Late Mr..
Beck on Free Coinage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. .1O.-The senate
resumed consideration of the finance
bill Tor of the Authorization bill, as
Mr.. Sherman termed it in his mOtion],
and Mr.. Morgan continued the speech
begun by him yesterday in support OF
the free coinage amendment. He re-
ferred with high encomium to a speech
made by the late Senator Beck in sup
port of bill introduced by him ON the
18th of March. 1883, the second section
of which provided that in all future is
sues of treasury certificates "cOin certifi-
cates'' should be substituted for ''gold
certificates" and for "silyer certifi-
Gates" He (Mr. Morgan) considered
that proposition perfect solvent of
the difficulty of the gold and silver coin
imperfect balance in the United States,
and had always desired very much to
see the day when it would be adopted
by congress; and he expected to offer q
like amendment to the pending bill.
MIR. Morgan then concluded his speech,
saying:
Il thank the senate very much for the per-
mission to present again Mr.. Beck's views to
the country. He was man loved through
out the length and breadth of the Union. and
particularly loved by the people of the South,
who will be glad, think TO hear again the
words of wisdom which he uttered on the
floor of the senate on what was, believe,
his last important appearance in this body as
an advocate of the views of his party and of
himself ON these great questions. 1t will be
observed how kindly and frankly and strong.
ly he dissented from the attitude of the re-
cent Democratic administration on this cues
ton In that he has the support of nearly
every Democrat i'll the United States, (at
least in the South and Vest and while | re-
gret that the fact may lead the people
of the United States even to dispense
with the services of very great men. because
of their failure to come up to the demands OF
the country on the financial question, may
be permitted to say that the people of the
United States have been struggling for years
together to have their will and voice obeyed
on this question. And if the congress of the
United States should even make a mistake in
Welding to their demands. the people will
have themselves to blame, and not US, be-
cause they have certainly in the most delib-
crate and distinct way pronounced in favor
of the restoration of silver money as money
of legal tender value and quality to the cir
culatiOn of the country. We can no longer
people.
The financial bill was then laid aside
and message from the president was
read, forwarding memorial OF the
legislative assembly of Oklahoma for
an appropriation Tor the relief of the
destitute people of that territory. Re-
ferred to the committee on appropria-
tiOnS.

He Reioices at the Ending of Par

LONDON, Jan. 1O.-Mr. Gladstone has
written a letter to Mr.. Furness, the Lib
eral candidate for Hartlepool to succeed
the late Thomas Richardson. Mr.. Glad
stone says:
The Irish parliamentary party has vindi-
Gated itself by putting an end TO the leader,
ship of Mr. Parnell and has left us prepared
to pursue as heretofore our duty in de-
uouncipg unequal laws and the odious Sys-
tenn of coercion adopted by the government
as a. permanent law. The liberal gain OF
seats in the house Of commons constantly
repeated during the last four years meant
much more than mere success. Tney meant
that the party has declared that union has
for the first time been affected between
the British and Irish, and shows the
Deople aim to close the. controversy our Op-
ponents seek to Indefinitely proiong at the
cost of the national reputation and OF I'M
perial treasure and amid 1nexungu1snaDle
discord The people of Ireland have put
their trust in the people of Great Britain TO
deliver them from bad laws made worse by
harsh. insulting administration. 1t rests OH
each constituency as the occasion offers for
us to show our sister nation that her CONN
dence is not reposed in vain. The views OF
the Liberals on general legislation were ex-
pressed at a recent meeting OF the federation.
They show that the party long for the time
when the Irish question will be settled and
when fuller opportunity will be afforded TO
other questions. STILL the time will come,
and we ought to supply sample OF our
practical intentions by bill clearing away
obstacles hindering qualified voters from
coming TO register and limiting on the regis
ter every single citizen to single vote.

FORSYTHE'S CASE.
Little Doubt But He Will Be Ex-
Onerated.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. 10.
Col. Forsythe will be cleared. Upon
that point there is but little doubt. The
investigating committee has completed
its work, and while its members have
as yet made no report, it is thoroughly
understood that the colonel will be ex-
onerated. The testimony of the Of
ficers and soldiers of the Seventh
cavalry leaves no other course open.
Inquiry shows conclusively that
no soldier was killed by the fire of an
other. The charges that this was done
formed the rub of the complaint that
the troops were improperly place. 1t
seems to be the impression among all
army officers thatCol. .Forsythe did Won
ders of organization in the midst of a
great confusion. The testimony of
Capt. Nolan and Lieut.. Nicholson went
to show that the men, when firing, con-
tinually called to one another, saying:
"Don't shoot in that direction, there are
women" Non-commissioned officers
Swore to the same thing, and it was
shown fairly and concluslvely that when
the sex of the enemy was known accu-
rately the fire of the troops was directed

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 10.-Perhaps
the largest crowd ever assembled in
Bismarck has been in the state capital
during the past week. Besides the reg
ular star attraction presented to the res
idents of the state and to various inter-
ests in st. Paul and Minneapolis by the
senatorial fight now in progress, num-
ber of minor attractions have collected
people here who would not have come
merely as spectators at the senatorial
arena. Among these minor attractions
were the reception of the state officers
and Gov. Burke's ball and banquet at
the capitol. Then the opening of the
legislature and the messages Of Gov.
Miller and Gov. Burke all helped to
swell the crowd until hotel accommoda-
tions were entirely exhausted. The
messages of the retiring and the incom-
