Fruits Of the New Tariff.

Even the Free-trade New York
Times cannot keep out ofits columns
testimony as to the benefits Of the
new tariff bill. It's issue of January
had the following:
During the week representatives of
au extensive worsted manufacturing
concern of Philadelphia have been in
town prospecting for the purchase
of tract of land with the intention
of establishing and operating large
worsted factory here. Although the
scheme is yet in its infancy, there is
every probability that it will be a
success. After purchasing a suit
able tract of land near the business
center of the town, the firm will form
a stock company, with capital of
5000, 900. With this amount the
company will erect large brick fac
tory, stock it with machinery, and
begin operations on an extensive
scale. The factory will employ 500
operatives, paying out annually
abont $3.50, 900 for wages.
The Times ought to try its hand
at convincing those 500 operatives
that the higher rates of duties i'm
posed on imported worsteds are an
unmitigated misfortune.

A proposition to do away with the
smoke nuisance by process Of alb
sOrbing it in water has been made by
a Mr.. Elliot, of London, who has
devised an apparatus which consists
of a small fan which draws the smoke
from the chimney and forces it into
a tank of water at point near the
bottom. The Aater is agitated by
revolving stirrers driven by an en-
CINE, and the smoke and water are
thus churned up together. The
high temperature of the smoke and
other products of combustion in
time heats the water, and provision
is made for allowing the resulting
steam to pass away into the atmos-
phere. All the solid particles pres
ent in the smoke, as well as the sui
phurous vapors and noxious gases.
are arrested by the water. By these
means it is claimed that not only is
smoke destroyed, but the valuable
products due to the carbonization Of
coal are recovered, and the cheapest
form of fuel can be burned without
producing any smoke. The fnan-
cial aspect of this smoke question is
illustrated by the startling statement
of Professor Roberts that the daily
smoke cloud which hangs over Lon
don weighs about 800 tons, Of which
50 tons are solid carbon and the rest
hydrocarbon.

A sensational preacher died some
years ago, says the Rocky Mountain
Ne7Os. Often in the excitement OF
his preaching he would work himself
up to such a degree that he would
occasionally shed tears, which had a
great effect upon his congregation.
After his death his sermons were ex-
amined by his executors, and it was
frequently found in some of his most
exciting sermons that he had inclosed
in brackets the worlds, "Cry here"

joint Republican caucus of senators and
representatives, called to select a sue
cessor to United States Senator j. Don
Cameron, whose term expires March A..
next, met in the house of representa-
tives at noon to-day. Only nine repre-
sentatives and two senators were ab-
sent. Of the lib representatives who
answer the first roll call, eight
failed to respond when the final
call was made, and these eight
constitute what may be called the out
spoken opposition to Senator Cameron.
They are: Representative Sumner, of
Bradford; Brown and Potter, of Craw
ford; Mcguire, of Delaware; Morris
and Seanor, of Indiana; Baldwin, OF
Lancaster; Cory, of Duzerne, and Tag
CART, of Montgomery. The caucus was
called to order by Senator George Han

OF the two houses acted as tellers. Rep

in holding the caucus. moved to adjourn

chorus of noes and few ayes. The
nomination for senator was then called
for, and Senator Thompson, of Dauphin,
nominated James Donald Cameron, OF
Dauphin. Senator Goblin seconded the
nomination in long speech. outlining
Senator Cameron's public career. The
nominations were then closed, and the

one of the best officers in the army. The
Indians who are now in rebellion rep
resent all the reservations in Dakota.
There are many Cheyennes among
them, and scouts say that bands of Ara

The troops of the First infantry from
Calf left Rushville for Pine Ridge at 8
O'Clock this morning. They will arrive
here tomorrow morning. To-day was

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
Prevent Rapid Organization at
Hartford.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Jan. r. Both
branches OF the legislature met at 10
o'clock. The senate speedily organized,
electing Read, Of Bridgeport, Oem.),
president pro tenn, with other caucus
nominees. The house spent long time
in organizing, owing to technical ques-
tions about seating several members,
which. however, did not affect the Re
publican majority.
Finally the house chose A. w. Paige
speaker, and other Republican caucus
nominees. Before the house organized
the senate sent committee OF two
Democrats to the board OF canyasserS
demanding the official canvass. 1t was,
refused on the ground that the canvass
must be sent to the general assembly,
which was not then organized. Subse-
quelitly the official canvass at O'Clock
was sent to the house according to
custom. Tue house adopted the
usual joint rules, and committees
were appointed under them.
About O'Clock the house sent
the official canvass to the senate with
resolution referring it to joint commit
tee on canvass of votes for state officers.
The senate had voted not to create such
committee this year, and when the can
vasS and returns came in, the senate
created special committee of its own
to examine and report upon them.
After about two hours conference. the
majority of the committee Owo Demo-
crats) repopted that Luzon b. Morris
was elected governor regular
Democratic ticket. Resolutions declar-
ing each candidate so elected were
passed. The Republican member of
the committee reported that various
persons had been refused opportunity
TO show that the returns were incorrect.
and that, as the returns were not right,
no one should be declared elected, and
the matter should be examined into and
the fact of no election shown. This was
defeated. The house took recess to
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The
senate, after declaring the state officers
elected, adjourned to tomorrow at IL
o'clock.

Complaints.

complaints
PINE RIDGE, S. D., Jan. Jack Red
Cloud, Big Road, High Horse, Lone
Bear, Line Hawk and five other In
dians, who came in from the hostile
camp to hold q pow-wow with Gen
Miles, were allowed briefer confer
ence than they had expected. Gen.
Miles plainly told them to come in and
surrender; that he was not here to listen
to their complaints; that they would be
allowed to go to Washington to make
them after the trouble was arranged
here. They stated nearly, if not quite
all, of the Pine Ridge Indians were
desirous of peace and wanted to come
back to the agency. If the Pine
Ridge Indians conclude to come
back it will greatly reduce the war
party, now numbering 1000. Accord
ing to Agent CoOper's figures there are
1900 Pine Ridge Indians absent, and so
their force will be reduced at least half
the present number. A large portion
of the remainder will doubtless fight TO
the end. Gen. Miles held another short
talk with these Indians, and they set
out on their return. Itis thought most
of the Pine Ridge Indians will be here
in a day or two.

Humphrey, purchased q herd of In

late hour was unable to find any traces
of them. 1t was doubtless small raid

And Announces His Intention
Of Counting in Officers
Said to Be Elected.
Uniformed Policemen Stroll
Leisurely Through the
Concord Legislature.
Don Cameron the Choice Of
Republican Caucus at
Harrisburg.

LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. THE proceed
ings in the Nebraska Legislature this
afternoon have been of an extraordinary
character. At o'clock the senate and
house assembled i'll joint session for the
purpose of canvassing the vote on state
officers, as prescribed by the constitu-
tion. Trouble was precipitated at the
outset by misunderstanding as to
which officer should preside over the
joint convention. Lieut.. Gov. Mickle-
john advanced to the chair, claiming his
right under the constitution, the statutes
and the uniform practice of the
state. Speaker Elder, of the house
refused to vacate, and the two officers
occupied chairs side by side, each claim
ing the gavel. The speaker attempted
to call the body to order, but was him
self called to order by the lieutenant
governor. - The hall was crowded, and
the excitement was intense, but no DEM
onstration was made beyond some loud
talk and a number of motions to change
the plan of proceeding to the canvass.
These motions were declared out of Or
der. The official returns were brought
in by the secretary of state, and placed
before the body. The speaker was
directed by the lieutenant governor
to open the package and read the cor
respondence. He then refused to go
Oh with the work. The lieutenant gov
ernor ruled that no business could be
transacted until the returns were can
vassed, and this brought On deadlock.
The joint convention sat for nearly four
hours, the time being taken up III fenc-
ing and labored argument from each
side to prove that they were in the
wrong. At Z o'clock recess was taken
until tomorrow morning. Lieut.. Gov.
Micklejohn, who is a Republican,,
holds that it is his duty to de-
clare the officers having a majority
on the face of the returns, that if there
is to be contest it must be commenced
in the regular way after this announce
ment of election is made. That was
the point OF contention in to-day'S
struggle. The Alliance men are in a
majority, and had the speaker of the
house been a stronger man they would
have undoubtedly brought affairs to a
crisis to-day by show of muscular as
we'll as numerical strength. Intense III
terest is felt IN the outcome of the Ses-
sion in the morning.

Was Not Shown in Letter He
Wrote to Grant County.
One of the main arguments advanced
by Editor G. P. Carpenter, Of Far ming
ton, in his campaign for clerk of the
house, is his devotion to the Farmers
Alliance. Just how large this claim is
can be decided very readily by those
Alliance men. who remember the de-
feat of Senator Hixson in the Forty
ninth district, where he was the Alli-
ance nominee. if they will read the let
ter signed by Mr.. Carpenter and printed
below. This letter was read at Re-
publican ratification meeting in Grant
county, and was printed in the Grant
County Herald of Nov. 13. AS to Mr..
Carpenters charge that Senator HiX-
son slandered the newspaper men of
the state there is every reason to believe
that it is entirely without foundation.
The letter follows:
Pennington, Mimi, Nov. 9.-A G. Belyea,
Dear Friend: | want to congratulate you on
the splendid fight you made Tor the election
on Its successful termination. ! en- much
pleased with the result. The fellow who
boasted on the floor of the senate thnt he
could buy any country newspaper for 500
has now learned better, but the lesson must
have been costly one. You deserve the
thanks Of all country newspaper men. We
have also been successful here in electing
Donnelly to the senate, in the face of the
most bitter and determined opposition, with
the railroad money poured out freely for his
defeat. The people reign after all. Very
truly yours, G. P. CARPENTER.
