KYLE NOT 4 ENT.
A Further Constitutional Bar to ii
South Dakotian,

SOuIh DakOtinn.
Huron, S. d., Feb. 10-It is asserted
by prominent attorneys and others that
United States Standardized Kyle, in
addition to being ineligible on account
of not receiving Il majority vote of the
whole legislature, is not an inhabitant
Of South Dakota, in the meaning of the
term in the constitution, that he owns
no properly and pays no taxes.
The Hafoaito in speaking about the
matter says that Kyle was simply mis-
sionary or agent of foreign church
society subject to call at any time; that
he had no fixed" habitation within the
constitutional meaning and declares that
he was already under engagement to re-
side in the east as the financial agent of
a western UNCONVENTIONAL college.

Minister Reid presented--she Tries in
Vain to Elude the Yigllant Newspaper
Men.
PANS, Feb. 23.-Thc Empress Fred
erick of Germany took lunch yesterday
with the Baron de Tucher, the Bavarian
Charge d'Aifairs, where she met the
Hon. Whitelaw Reid, the United States
minister, and Mrs. Reid, and Lord
Lytton, the British ambassador, and
Lady Lytton.
The Project of the Seine NJ. Poubelle
has informed Count Won Munster, the
German ambassador, in reply to com
munication received from the latter in
regard to the possibly over-zealous at
tention which the empress has received
from the French reporters that he, the
project, is unable TO interfere with these
representatives Of the press.
Upon receiving this notification the
officials of the German embassy decided
to supply the press with record of the
empress movements during her stay in
Paris. But this record being of a
meagTe and dry description many re-
portors still haunt the imperial visitor
as she travels about this city The re-
suit is that Empress Frederick has re
sorted to various expedients, such as
leaving the German embassy by an exit
opening upon the street at the back of
that building and proceeding on foot to
her carriage, which had been previously
driven to some convenient spot in the
attempt to shake off the newspaper men
lowering about the embassy. Free
quently the empress and her daughter,
the Princess Marguerite, drive in differ
ent directions in order to create diver
sion and bewilder the journalistic
forces, but the latter manage to keep
pretty closely on the empress in spite
of her efforts to keep away from them.
Yesterday evening there was rumor
circulated to the effect that the two
ladies now the centre of interest of Paris
were to be present at the Lamourax
concert. Consequently a great crowd
collected in and about the vicinity of
the concert hall, but the empress and
her daughterdid not appear. Two Ger
mans, however, sang Mozart and Wag-
ner duets in German, a hazardous pro-
ceeding before the French public. The
audience, after hesitating for few mo-
ments as if undecided whether to hiss
or applaud, suddenly burst out into
vociferous applause.
There can be no doubt that the en-
press visit to Paris has been productive
here of an era of much better feeling
towards Germany.

Paris to the Times published to-day says

coal mining on this continent. II is a
singular coincidence that the loss of life
equals that of both Ford Pit and Drum
mond Collery explosions. The number
OF lives lost at the Ford Pit was So and
at the Drummond 81, the loss here so far
as can be learned is now placed at III.
VI these 81 were married men who
leave 157 children unprovided for.
The relief fund of the miners which
had balance of 81 900 at the beginning
of the year is unable to meet the claims
that will be made. The relief from this
source at best can only be temporary.
This is SO keenly felt that meeting of
the mayor, town council and clergymen
was held in the company's office yes
terday and 1t was decided TO issue an
appeal for aid to the public.
SPRING HILL, Feb. 23.-The follow
ing appeal has just been issued by the
authorities:
To tie PUbLic. ga mining disaster, at
tended with fatal results unparalleled in
the history of Canadian mines, has
fallen upon the town and people of
Spring Hill, Nova Scotia. The loss of
life is probably as great as the combined
appalling losses at the Drummond and
Ford Pit explosions. About III lives
are lost; 81 widows have been left be-
hind and 1877 children made fatherless
The widows and fatherless will need
abundant assistance and that promptly
from public shocked and mortified by
this terrible calamity. The sum of
$4,000 will he required to meet the de-
mands and 10 alleviate the sufferings of
the bereaved and distressed during the
most pressing period of their dire mis-
fortune. The residents of Spring Hill,
in meeting assembled have appointed n
committee consisting of mayor, town
council and all the resident clergy to
solicit and acknowledge subscriptions to
the Spring Hill relief fund, and they
confidently and earnestly ask for an inn
mediate response from persons from all
denominations, societies, trades, guilds
and nationalities.
Signed WILLIAM HALL, Mayor.
A. McLEoD, Secretary.
This appeal for immediate assistance
is being telegraphed to all cities and
towns of Canada and TO the United
States. II is felt that something must
be done Immediately for the relief of the

The Priests win Withdraw.

DUBLIN, Feb. 23.-Archbishop Walsh
has written a letter, published in the
newspapers of this city, in which he
says that six priests responding to an
official invitation TO assist in the admin
isiration of the Zetland- Balfour fund,
attended meeting of the Belmullet
relief committee at Belmullet, county
Mayo, but upon learning that they
would not allow effective control of the
distribution they withdrew. The arch
bishop says that the same action will be
taken by priests in other districts.

Fronts OF Operating Cable Hallway In
Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, Jan. &c. B. Holmes, speak
ing OF the story in WorninR paper about
alleged irregular practices in connection
with the building Of the Los Angeles cable
railway system and floating the securities,
said that New York bond dealers may have
sent agents here to investigate the affairs
Of the COMPANY, but that there WAS any
ground whatever in the transactions for
criminal prosecution is absolutely untrue.
The bonds were issued with the approval of
the stockholders, who also decided that the
road should be built by temporary loans
and when finished the bonds should be di-
vidsd among tho stockholders pro rata.
The road was 80 built, but in the mean
time money became scarce, the stock
holders with few exceptions refused to take
their bonds and the notes were left in
banks. All efforts to sell tho bonds to out
side parties were unsuccessful because of
the general financial stringency. In re-
gard t0 the alleged misrepresentation of
the value of the Los Angeles road, Holmes
says the books were kept in Los Angeles.
and in one of the reports there was an ac-
cidentai clerical error in the ton thousand
column that made great difference in the
showing. 1t deceived him as well as the.
stockholders. During the first year Of the
operation Of the road Los Angeles WAS yis-
tied by disastrous floods which made oper-
alton financially disastrous. Still. he says
the city is rapidly growing and the fran
chise runs fifty years. With little wait
ing there Ia no reason why any atockhoider
should lose n dollar.

Gov. Boyd Practically Confirmed In His
Seat ~ Chief Executive.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 22.-The Joint con-
vention OF the legislature to hear the elec-
tion contest met this morning, but al once
took recess until two p. n., when decis-
ion OF the supreme court on the legality OF
the proceedings was formally delivered.
The court holds that the signatures OF the
governor and lieutenant governor to the
concurrent resolution is necessary to make
tho acts Of the joint convention valid.
This leaves the independents in somewhat
OF dilemma. They must proceed to pass
another concurrent resolution, and this will
take about six days. II Gov. Boyd refuses
to sign it under to-day's decision no con-
test can be made. They assert that the
resolution calling joint session TO contest
the right Of the governor to his seat should
be legal without the signature, but the state
constitution is mandatory on that point.
There is some talk of their dropping the
contest. II they do the only obstacle in
Boyd's way will be- the proceedings to test
his citizenship instituted by E1-Goy.
