Special to the Globe.
HURON, S. D.. Dec. 18.-Immense
quantities of fuel have arrived at points
on the west and north lines of the Chi
cago 81 Northwestern railroad during
the past few days, and the fuel famine
has been avoided. The present supply
is sufficient to allay fears even should
heavy storms set in. At many points
the situation was becoming alarming,
and settlers making imperative de-
mands for fuel. The railroad COM
panies have only limited supply for
their own use, but local dealers are hay-
ing their orders filled promptly.

WATSON WILL CONTEST.
He Says He Will Show Gross
Frauds in His District.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Representa-
tive Watson, of Georgia, said today that
the report that he intended to institute
a series of individual prosecutions for
illegal voting and intimidation at the
recent congressional election in his dis
trict was unfounded and untrue. What
he will do, he says, is to contest the
seat of his opponent, Mr.. Black. He is
confident that there were gross frauds
committed in the city of Augusta
whereby Mr.. Black received majority,
and by means of a contest he expects to
create public sentiment against the
methods and practices of his opponent.

TAX THE LUXURTES.
Mr.. Scott Would Increase the Tax
on Whisky.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-Owen Scott,
of Illinois, is collecting facts and fig
nres and will in few days ask the
ways tand means committee to accord
him a hearing on his bill increasing the
internal revenue tax on whisky. Thus
far the committee has given no indica-
ton of its attitude towards this meas
ure, but it has attracted so much atten-
ton throughout the country that Mr..
Scott expects considerable cooperation
in pressing it upon the attention of all
those desiring speedy way of increaS-
ing the federal revenue. The bill in
creases the tax on distilled spirits from
80 cents to S125 per gallon. In regard
to his bill, Mr.. Scott says that the evil
dent desire of the country is to tax
luxurieS and so far as possible let nee
essaries go free. The present tax on
whisky produces about 800, 100000 an
nually. The increase proposed in this
bill will give almost 90 per cent reve-
nues, or total of about S125, 600, 900
from distilled spirits alone. This will
partially supply the loss of revenue by
the sugar schedule of the Mckinley bill.
"rhis sugar juggle." said Mr.. Scott.
whereby the sugar trust is given free
raw ildIcIldl dIlu GllC COuoulllCl ldACu
for refined sugar, costs the treasury
some S6O,0OO,0O0 of revenue annually.
This must be made up, and this could
nowhere be done easier on the people
than by an increase of the tax on dis
titled spirits. This proposition does
not involve any increase in the
expense Of collection. 1t costs
no more to collect $l.25 per
gallon than 90 cents. The government
already has the revenue machinery for.
this collection. There would, there
fore, be an absolute net increase of
about S35 100000 annually. This bill
might easily pass this session of con-
gress unless the senate stands in the
way Of providing any means of reliev-
ing the treasury Of the threatened or
actual deficit"
Mr.. Scott also thinks that other large
sums may be obtained by similar in
crease in the tax on other alcoholic pro-
ducts and tobacco.

FOSTER STANDS PAT,
But Will Make No Further
Answers to Canada.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Secretary of
State Foster, in answer to an inquiry
by a reporter tonight, stated that he did
not think it necessary to make further
reply to the interview OF the Canadian
minister of finance telegraphed from
Ottawa Friday last. Mr.. Blaine made
a full report to President Harrison OH
the results of the reciprocity conference
of last February, and this was trans
mitted to congress. The finance minis
ter, Mr.. Foster, also made a report to
the Canadian parliament. If the latter.
at this late date, deems it proper to add
to the reports, the secretary of state
does not regard himself as called upon
to pursue that method of discussion by
counter reports.

A North Dakota Disappearance Is
Explained.

FARGO, N. D., Dec. 18.-On June %
last Killian Bosick, bonanza farmer
living near Willow City, mysteriously
disappeared. 1t was thought he was
murdered for his money, but subse-
quently letters turned up in which he
declared he was tired of life and his
friends would see him no more. Satur-
day two men who were cutting timber
on the side of the mountains near Will
low City, discovered skeleton, which
upon investigation proved to be that of
Bosick. Near it was a musket. The
bones had been scattered several rods
by wild beasts, but the clothing and
musket were identified as belonging to
Bosick. Bosick was the wealthiest
farmer in that section, and
his disappearance last June caused
much comment. He leaves land and
property valued at $4,000.

THE NORTH STATE TANGLE.
Weaver May Get the Other Elector
After All.

AIGCP ALL
Special TO the Globe
FARGO, n. d., Dec. 19.--The Demo
cratic state central committee is out
after another electOr. AS the matter
now stands, Wamberg. Republican,
pulled through with eight plurality.
When the canVassing board met Chair
man Maratta, who was present, secured
a mandamus restraining the board from
counting theEmmons county vote, where
the county returning board threw
out SelZ township, which cast 5S
Democratic and Republican votes.
The truble in this precinct dates
back before election. The Republican
candidates for auditor, clerk OF courts
and sheriff went into deal with the
Russians who vote in SeIZ's preclnt.
The deal was this: The above named
candidates posted $50 eacn, to be given
to the Russian church in case they re-
ceiyed seventy-tive votes each. the
money to be refunded in the case Of
each candidate who did not receive that
number OF votes. A contract was drawn
to this effect and the money placed III
forfeit. The Democrats, however, dis
covered the scheme, and the result
was that the Republicans only received
three votes. When the county can
vassing board met the vote of this pre-
cinct was thrown out, which counted
out the Democratic candidates for
states attorney and treasurer. Other
precincts where Irregularities are al
legged. but which gave Republican ma
jorities. were counted by the board.
The matter will now be settled by the
courts Should the decision be favora-
bic to the Democrats, it will seat the
other fusion electOr and the Democratic
county treasurer and states attorney.
1t Will not change the state ticket.
