Information haS been received that all
the railroads of Uruguay having per
cent. guarantee from the government
have proposed to relinquish it and ac-
cept 3 per cent. on condition that the re-
manning 2 per cent. be paid into coloni-

Coal Found In the A Argentine Republic.
In 1870 the Argentine republic passed
q law permitting the National govern
ment to pay reward OF $25, 900 for the
discovery of paying coal field. Though
many efforts have been made to earn
this prize, none have approached success
until recently. II is now asserted that q
coal bed meeting the requirements has
been discovered, but further boring
operations are necessary to fully verify
the statement. All the coal used In the
republic has TO be imported. The inn
ports in 1889 amounted to 65S,0OO tons.

New Phase in the Scotch Strike.

GLASGOW, Jan. 2S-The great Scotch
railroad strike has entered on a new
and novel phase. The orators of the strik-
ing employees, as the newspapers allege,
have been persistent in villifying the re-
porters of the press, whom they accuse of
having used their influence to fortify the
position of the corporations against the
dissatisfied workmen. At a meeting of
the proprietors and publishers of news
papers in Glasgow, which was held to-day,
it was decided that hereafter the news
papers of the city would not assign men
ta report the proceedings of any future
Meetings of the striking rallroaders. The
leaders of the strike have promptly called
attention to the fact hat the action of the
press might bring about the suppression
of free speech and the institutipnfsTs!ssss: II

Senatorial Order of Business.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The republican
senatorial caucus committee on order of
business met this morning and agreed to
recommend to their colleagues that, after
the apportionment bill is acted upon. the
eight-hour bills and the copyright bill be
taken up in order. This arrangement is
subject to possible disturbance by the ap-
preparations committee, which has already
given notice through Chairman Allison of
the intention to call up the appropriation
bill this week. The caucus committee also
disposed Of other pending measures of
pubic interest in this order: After the
copyright bill, is to follow the Indian dep.
relations bill, the Paddock pure food bill,
and Nicaragua canal bill reported by the
committee on foreign relations AS the
senate will hereafter meet at IL o'clock,
instead of noon, as at present, and the
morning business. will be limited to one
hour, it is thought much progress will be
made.

The members of the legislature are in
dignant-and justly so-regarding the
rates charged for hacks to and from the
capitol. They say-and it is true-25 cents
each way is too much, and if the rate was
lower they would ride oftener. By the
way, why isn't the ordinance enforced?
There is an ordinance restricting the
charges to Is cents for each passenger. If
the hack-men issue tickets to members
say two rides for 25 cents-no one would
complain of 25 cents 10 strangers or Occa-
sional visitors. The members and clerks
have right to howl and ask why the Or
dinance is not enforced. The brief stay of
the members in Bismarck ought to be made
as pleasant as possible. If not, then no
one can blame the members for making
their stay as dlsagreeable as possible to the
city. During the senatorial excitement, when
the city was full of capitalists, it was fitting
that they should contribute literally to the
support OF those who face the storms for
the convenience of those who ride. but now
that the city has settled down to it's usual
quiet, the capitalists and lobbyists all gone,
the cry for hald-pan hack hire comes with
good emphasis.

Hon. Henry w. Lord Killed.

1t is with feelings Of the deepest regret
that the TR1BUNE's S readers learned OF the
death OF Hon. Henry W. Lord of Devils
Lake, which occurred Sunday in sleep
ing car wreck on the Northern Pacific near
Butte. His death is not only sad, but
shocking, as the body was mangled be-
yond all semblance. Mr. Lord was for
merly register of the land office at Devils
Lake. lie came to Dakota about six years
ago from Michigan, a state that he had
twice represented in the congress of the
United States. He had been quite promi-
nent in political affairs in this state. Only
a week or so ago he was in Bismarck as a
spectator on the senatorial fight. He was
in ii ghaccsifth at the time, and together with
;S$s wife he was seeking recuperatiOn in
the coast country. His wife expected to
follow.
Mr.. Lord was genial, whole. souled gen
tleman, and numbered among his particular
friends the members of the bar at Devils
Lake. He leaves wife only, to whom
TIE shock viii be terrible, as she has not
yet rec vered from the shock sustained
five years ago upon learning of the sudden
death of her son. Mr.. Lord was in fairly
good circumstances. He had $4,000 on his
person at the time of his death, and leaves
very valuable library of about 5000 vol
umes. Mrs. Lord is visiting friends In
Michigan and expected to join her hus
band in few weeks, on the coast.

Press Opinions.

Duluth News: The election of senator
for North Dakota was North Dakota
affair, and the people of a state do not care
for outside interference in their political
affairs. The Twin City papers were given
sufficient warning that their advice was
not taken kindly, but th"y persisted in
forcing their opinions upon the people, and
as consequence Pierce's candidacy was
looked upon with suspicion because the
intense interest OF these outsiders was not
understood Perhaps they only intended
10 help Pierce because OF friendly inter
est in his welfalo, yet it is altogether prob
able that they helped to dt feat him.
Minneapolis Times: Gil Pierce adds an
other to the long list Of men licked by the
support of the Pioneer Press.
Grand Forks Plaindealer: We feel GER
tain that Mr.. Hansbrongh will make very
efficient senator, he is naturally Jealous, is
loyal to North Dakota, ambitious to de.
serve her confidence and he is straightfor-
ward and honest. All OF this the Plain
dealer has frequently repeated.
Minneapolis Times: If Pierce had pos.
sessed less influence with the administra-
| tion, so that he would not have been ap.
pealed to in the interest Of each applicant
for an Office, he probably would have
escaped enough of the censure that he re.
ceiyed to enable him 10 secure q re-elrss,

pared from the church to the O'Connor
residence, where an informal reception
was held. The church and the residence
We're both crowded with the friends of the
family and contracting parties. In the
afternoon the happy couple, together with
numerous Bismarck friends, proceeded to
Mandan, where, in the evening, the formal
wedding reception was held at George
Peoples hotel, and was one of the largest
gatherings ever Witnessed in Mandan.

4 NOVEL EXHIBIT.

The United States Will Have Full
Rugged Battle Ship at the Worlds
Fair.
CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-Lieutenant Tausslg
to day made his official report on the ma
ture of the United States navy depart
ments Worlds Fair exhibit. 1t will rep
resent ullsized modern battle ship, and
will be erected on pilng on the lake shore
in Jackson park. The structure will have
all of the fittings which belong to an actu-
al ship, such as guns, turrets, torpedo
tubes, torpedo nets, etc. besides a corps
of officers and seamen. Gun and torpedo
drills will be given daily. 1t is proposed,
at the conclusion of the fair, to turn this
vessel over to the city of Chicago for use
as a naval drill place for the use of the ma
val reserve of the lake. The boat will be
named "Illinois." No work was done on
the lake front to-day. 1t appears that the
turning of little earth and the driving of
few stakes was for the purpose of taking
formal possession and to forestall any pos
sible legal procee dings by the abutting
property owners.

The Federation Ball.
From Saturdays Daily.]

Last night was night of events and the
federation ball was one of them. 1t was a
night for the railroad boys as we'll as for
the swarm of Legislators and senatorial
button holers in the city. The ball was
well attended notwithstanding counter
attractions and the excitement Of the hour,
which doubtless had the effect of drawing
some away who wonld have other
wise come. The hall was beautifully
decorated with tmblems that make glad
the heart of the railroad man. The colOred
illumination was novel and pleasing
feature and great credit is due the boys
who have worked faithfully tor the past
week to make this success. Special
trains brought in merry dancers from all
along the line of the MISSOURI divisions
and everybody had a good time. Palmer's
orchestra furnished the music which was
the best that has been heard in Bismarck
for some time, -.

realizing their awful situation, fell to the

deaths are momentarily expected Up to
this writing, fifty bodies have been recov-

which broke out after the explosion, was
soon extinguished by the immense fans
which were put in operation. The gas

the work of rescuing the entOmbed miners
has been commenced. General Manager

His assistance is invaluable, rs
he has many years, experience
in the mining operation. The Mammoth
plant embraces 500 ovens, one of the larg--
est plants in the coke region, but it is hard
of access. It is situated near the United
works, where an explosion recently de-

cast gloom over the entire coke region,

of the plant, will bear the expenses of the
same. The only man who escaped from

If sleeper overhead had not been awak-

prevented spread of the conhagration,
and our Mandan contemporary comes out
to day without having slipped cog.

Mandan Pioneer: There should be some
public examiner to look after the affairs of
the various civil and school townships of
the state. In one civil district in this
county warrants were issued on the road
and bridge fund, and then money that
came in to pay those, was transferred to
the general fund, so that the supervisors,
who happened to have claims on the gen
eral fund, could be paid. The parties who
hold the road and bridge warrants are
Whistling for their pay. In q school town.
ship in this county, parties hold warrants
issued and registered in 1884 and 1885.
warrants on the same funds issued in 1889
have been paid. The excuse is that the
treasurer kept no account of the regiStra-
ton of warrants. The methods adopted
by many of the officers of these townships
arc so loose that business man neither
wants to supply them with goods or buy
their warrants.
