Der Of the Assembly from Rockland county,
was arrested yesterday morning at bis
home at Mount Moor on the charge Of for.
gerry. lie confessed his guilt by making
restitution at once. IL seems likely that
the Republican members Of the Legislature
viii enter a formal protest at the session
Monday nisht against Demorest c0ntinu-
inc longer TO represent bis constituency in
the lower house on the ground that he is a
self-conlessed felon, and has therefore dis
honored the office to which he was chosen.
HIS SERVICES NEEDED.
With Assemblyman Guenther. Of Buffalo,
m. and suppOsing the Republicans will
muster their :nll vote on Tuesday, the
Democrats would need DemOrests pref
ence 10 make eighty-One votes if the major
ity Of an the members elected was required
10 elect Senator. The State is Interpreted
10 hold. however, that only majority vote
of Quorm Of all elected is needed 10 ac-
cOmplish the election Of a senator. In any
event the majority is small enough 10 create
good deal OF apprehension in Democratic
circles.
HILL STILL RETICENI.
Governor Hill keeps himself secluded as
much as possible. He declines TO make any
reference TO the SenatOrship, hut some Of his
intimates adhere to the belief that he has de-
termined TO accept the nomination as the
wisest course to pursue under the clrcum-
stances. The news OF DemOrests arrest
and confession came into the Hill camp like
thunderhOlt. lie was one Of the Cover
nOr's strongest friends.

At the barge office General O Bierne re
ceiyed letter this morning from Father
Cran dated Pine Ridge, January 18th. 1t
SAYS he is recovering from the wound ne r.

will be ended and the indian problem
solved when the Indian agencies OF the
Sioux reservation are placed uncer
military control. lie says the civil
agents should be removed ON tie

have no influence over the Indians what
ever. lfthis had been done sometime ago,
he adds. the late trouble would nave Jeth
averted and not a drop of blood would nave
been spilled. This plan has been put into
effect In one or two instances, ara ne says
the result is wholly satisfactory.
