GERS, representing as many counties of
the state as have land grant land within
their territory, assembled here to-day,

force. The other counties represented
were all of those touched by the North
ern Pacific road and branches except
two, and there were written re-
sponSeS to the call from forty
other counties besides those per-
sonally represented to-day. The

form to the state legislature was
adopted to be presented at once prepar-
atOry to some action by that body. A

PIERRE, Jan. 2S.-The senatorial dead
lock is uribroken, and the situation re-
mains unchanged, except that Moody
on to-day's ballot lost FIVE more votes.
To-day's ballot stood: Republicans,
Moody, "a; Melville, II; Lake, IL. In
dependents. Harden. 81; Crosse. IA;
Kyle, 13; Judge Trip, Democrat, %,
with the balance Of the 27 votes scat
tered among seven other Republican
and Independent candidates. Tripp is
the only man who has not lost prestige,
but has gained good ground every day
since the fight started. His friends
have stood in line from the stalt with
out flinching, and it is becoming more
certain that the Independent contingent
will soon indorse him sufficiently to
secure his election, as they we'll
be unable to settle upon one among
their own members, and could not then
succeed without the help of the Demo
Gratis. who hold the balance of power.
Upon every party vote they continue
united and harmonious. Two more
contest cases will be reported and will
doubtless be settled tomorrow, giving
the fusionists additional strength by
unseating the Republican members who
secured their election certificates
through the connivance Of mine cor
pOration. Ex-Gov. Pennington, who was
appointed governor of Dakota territory
under President Grant, arrived tonight
to labor in the interests of Judge Tripp.
Gov. Mellette today signed the joint
resolution which passed the legislature
memorializing congress in favor of free
coinage Of silver.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The senate
lo-day took up the house apportionment
bill, and Mr.. Hale, who had reported it
from the census committee, explained
and advocated the house bill, and ar
gued against the amendment proposed
by the minority of the committee.
After a long debate, participated in by
Senators Washburn, Davis, German,
Carlisle and others, the bill was laid
aside after statement from Mr.. Hale
that he would ask vote upon it to-
morrow noon. Senators Davis and
Washburn are working hard to get
representation of eight for Minnesota.
After Mr.. Davis speech, Mr. Wash
burn made several effective points
I'm favor of the Davis amendment.
He made statement that the population
of Minnesota had more tnan doubled
during the last ten years; that the house
bill did an injustice to the state by grant
ing only two additional members. He
also called attention to the fact that
Minneapolis and st. Paul suffered loss
of fully $4,000 by having recount of the
census at an unfortunate time OF the
year. Senator Hale raised laugh by
asking Senator Washburn if Minnesota
would not have secured the desired ad-
ditional member if the Twin Cities had
not watched each other so closely. The
Davis amendment also gives New YORK,
Arkansas and Missouri one additional
member each,

Briefly.

Gen. Miles Discusses the Situation
Briefly.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-When asked this
morning as to the final disposition to be
made of the Indians now at Fort Sheri-
dan, Gen. Miles said: "That is mat
ter to be determined in the future. Now
that Sitting Bull and other chiefs are
killed. and have most of the others
here, the Indians are left, you might
say, without leader, and there is no
danger of further outbreak on the
reservations. These men whom |
brought to Chicago are a crowd OF out
laws. Three hundred Of the Indians
arrested we're sent to Fort Sully. The
others are all under control OF military
authority and back on their reserva
way there. [ could not tell what move
ment might be attempted in the spring,
and brought the ones now at Ft.Sherldan
as a precaution. They will be provided
for and allowed as much liberty as is
consistent with the circumstances.
What will finally be done with them 1T
will be impossible for me to determine
at this time. The chiefs who went
through Washington are not so danger
Gus. They have gone merely to nave
conference and understanding with the
authorities there, and will return to
their tribes. The Indians who remained
loyal were not disarmed, for the reason
that it would have been an injustice to
have treated them the same as the hos
tiles. With the hostile tribes only a
very few arms were left-simply enough
for their personal protection. / antici-
pate no further trouble, and if there is
ever another war with the Indians it
will be on an entirely different matter.
Gen. Miles has detailed the following
officers to each command of a company
of Indian scouts to be enlisted at Pine
Ridge agency: First Lieut.. Willis, of
Clark, Twelfth infantry; Second Lieut..
Godfrey Ii. Mcdonald, First cavalry;
Second Lieut.. Joseph G. Byron, Eighth
cavalry.
Capt. Morse, who was with Gen.
Miles at Pine Ridge, said to-day; "Gen.
Miles has not received half the credit he
deserves for the way he managed this
Indian campaign. But for his cool
Judgment, citizens would have been
maSsacred and barns and houses burned.
The general was greatly liked by the
Indians. Kicking Bear said on leaving
for Chicago, ''l'll go for Gen. Miles, but
l would not move step for any other
man living"

THE WORLDS FARCE.
Some Reports From High-Salaried
Officers of the Affair.


Officers of the Affair.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-Lieut. Taussig to-
day made his official report on the ma
ture of the United States navy depart
ment's worlds fair exhibit. 1t will
represent a full-sized modern battle
ship, and will be erected on piling on
the lake shore, in Jackson park. The
structure will have all of the fittings
which belong to the actual 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 ChicagOafOr use as naval drill place
for the use OF the naval reserve of the
lake. The boat will be named the Ili-
noiS. No work was done on the lake
front to-day. 1t appears that the turn
ing of little earth and the driving OF a
few stakes was for the purpose of TAX
ing formal possession, and to foreStali
any possible legal proceedings by abut-
ting property owners. Director Gen
eral Davis has made the following nomi-
nations: Prof. John Barrett, of Chica-
90, chief of electrical department; j. Ill.
Reynolds, of Riverside, chief of horti-
cultural department; f. j. V. Skiff, of
Colorado, chief of the mining bureau.
and Martin Ryan, secretary of the
electrical department. One of the
events in worlds fair circles to-day was
a visit from Prof. f. w. Putnam, who
fills the chair of archaeology and ethnol-
ogy in Harvard university. He wished
to impress upon the mind of the de-
partment of publicity and promotion
that the idea Is very prevalent in the
East that the exposition is to have no
educational, literary or scientific ex-
hbits of interest. He said he did not
share that delusiOn himself. as he had
read the scheme of classification care
fully, and was aware that these
branches had received adequate atten-
ton. But at the same time he thought
that there was pressing need Of con-
vincing the people of the East of that
fact. The leather interest represents
the only industry that will have sep
arate building for its exhibit at the ex-
position. 1t has secured location just
between the main building and the gov
ernment building, and will erect its own
building at a cost of 100000. The
leather men of Chicago have already
subscribed $4,000.

Special TO the GlODe.
GLENCOE. Jan. 2S.-There has been
much speculation among the attorneys
of the district as to who would succeed
Judge Edison On the bench, and it is said
that some of them have even gone SO
far as to secure endorsements from
members of the bar prior to his death.
Among the most prominent so far men-
toned tor the position are II. j. Peck,
of Shakopee; w. G. Odell and E. T.
Smith. OF Chaska, and r. ii. McClelland,
of Glencoe. The above named gentle
men, with the exception of Smith, are
Democrats, but are generally regarded
as the leaders OF the bar in the
district Most of the attorneys in the
district, who are members of the Repub-
lican party are young men and conse-
quently their practice and experience
has been limited. In all probability
Gov. Merriam will follow the custom Of
his predecessors and request the at
torneys of the district to present the
names of two of the best qualified law
yers in the district to select from, and in
that case Judge Edson's successor will
doubtless be Democrat.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Jan. 2s. = The
house met this morning and received
the report of the committee appointed
to canvass the vote for state officers.
The committee finds that 1,2S9 ballots
were rejected for insufficient cause and
that in many towns the number of votes
returned exceeds the total number of
votes cast. The committee states that
it is unable to determine that any per-
son was legally chosen to fill any of the
state offices except the comptroller, to
which the face of the returns indicates
that Nicholas Straub (DemocraD was
elected. The house accepted the report
and adopted resolutions offering to JOIN
with the senate in general recount of
the vote of the state. The minority OF
the committee presented report recon-
mending that the house pass the senate
resolution declaring the Democratic
state candidates elected. In the house,
after the presentation of the two re-
ports. general debate was opened,
which bids fair to continue for day
