SOUTH DAKOTA'S SENATOR.
James Henderson Kyle Elected by m
 Independent- Democratic Combine.

DemOCrutIC Combine. PIERRE, S. Dak.. February 17.-This has been an exciting day, full of surprises. By combination of the votes of the Independents and Democrats James Hen. derson Kyle, on the fortieth ballot, was elected United States Senator to succeed Moody. It was not fully determined that the Democrats would go to Kyle to day until this morning. Fears that the Repub- licans would be able to draw enough Independents to elect their candidate if the election was delayed longer decided their action at noon. At Il o'clock, as usual, the two Houses met in joint session, there being present only l39 members. By this time rumors were strong that K yle was to be elected. Republicans set their faces with determination to go down with coors flying. As the roll was called on the ballot for Senator and 1t was seen that tho Independents and Democrats were voting solidly for Kyle everybody knew that the end had at last come. Even Bowell and Converse went with the In O pendents and every Democrat During the ballot the suppre ssed excitement was intense, and at it's end the following Rt publicans changed their votes from Sterling to Tripp; Belknap, Douglass, Donahue, Hall, Mccormick, Taylor, Teets and Wilson. While these changes were being made the excitement broke loose, and amidst applause and misses he Demo- crats called "Too late, too late"
 .l..
 Clerk announced the result as follows Kyle 1o, Sterling 55; Tripp 8; Campbell |
 The Speaker announced that James H. Kyle, having received q majority of all the votes cast, was declared elected United States Senator for the term beginning March next. Then the applause knew no bounds. Hats and other articles mingled With shouts in the air. Kyle occupied his seat in the Joint assembly us State Sena- tor unmoved throughout the proceedIn
 Alter adjournment, in an interview he talked as follows:

THE DYNAMITE PLOT:
Strong Evidence Developing
 Against Gibson.
THE TRUSTS SECRETARY
Remarkable Resuits-Tho Novern- ment Omcials Consider Their
 Case Is Complete.

CHICAGO, Ill.,. February 14-N appears that the face value of the Whisky Trust cer- atifcates which Gibson had in his satchel is 1000, the market value of which'is about tl5, ,ooo which tallies with the amount De- war says Gibson promised him. As an eff feet of the disclosures the price of Whisky Trust certificates dropped from 47 to 451s yesterday.
 This morning Attorney Wm. Barry, of counsel for Gibson, appeared before Judge Blodgett, with District, Attorney Milchrist, and asked permission to examine the pack ages said to have been delivered by Gibson to Dewar and supposed to contain the ex- llosives with whichthe Shufelit distillery was to have been blown up. Judge Blod- gett gave the requrs authority, and Messrs. Barry and Michrist, with Inspec- tor Somerville, Special Agent Brooks, Marshal Hitchcock and Capt. Stuart at once began the examination. The package Is about foot long by 6 inches wide and6 inches thick, and was carefully sealed.
 When the package was opened pint bottle full of a light bluish fluid was dis covered. The cork was securely wired and sealed. It was drawn with some difficulty. Upon piece of paper lying on the table . single drop was poured. The instant it came in contact with the paper there was . flash, a stream of fire shot out, and the room was filled with suffoeatiag sulphurous fumes. So quickly did the paper burn that bucket of water had to be thrown on it to prevent the fire from communicating with other material.
 In attempting to cork the stuff up again the cork was ignited a towel was thrown over he bottle and the towel caught fire and burned up before the flames could be put out. As soon as the crowd suc- ceeded in extinguish ng the fire and getting the fluid safely in hand, a rush was mado for the door, the room was so filled with blue smoke. United States District Attor- ney Mlchrist was greatly exc d, and in answer to the question, exclaimed;
 "What is itl Great Scott, can't you smell it2 Look at my hands. What do you suppose whole pint of that stuff would do when single drop of it nearly set the whole building on fire,s
 The strong fume emitted by the fluid proved it's principal ingredient to be phos- phorous. some of it had got on the hands of Capt Stuart and Mir. Milchrist, and it continued for long time to send forth . blue smoke.
 .Our purposes in making the expert ment,' said Mir. Milshrist, was to find out if the fluid was the same that was in the bottle which Gibson gave to Dewar, and such it proved to be-"
 Mir Milchrist said of the result of the ex- pertinent: ''It fastens the chain of evidence secar5ly around Gibs on and makes it pos sible to indict him for attempted arson"
