A North Dakota Conference at the
Merchants Hotel.


The work of selecting a successor to
Senator l.. r. Casey, of North Dakota.
still goes merrily on at the Merchants
in this city. After Sc veral days of con
ferring in public and private and in
twoS and threes, Senator John Haggert,
of Fargo, and Postmaster John p. Bray,
of Grand Forks, yesterday afternoon
managed to induce SenatorJ ud Lamoure,
of Pembina, to talk over the situation
with them and their friends, and shortly
after o'clock Senators Haggart and
Lamoure, Postmaster Bray, Hon. Seth
Newman, OF Fargo, a member-elect
of the lower house, met in
Parlor c OH the first floor. The confer
ence lasted for several hours, and at it's
conclusion Mr.. Bray packed up his grip
and departed for North Dakota.
Senator Haggert has been giving out
the impression that he and the other
Fargo members are rather inclined
toward the reelection of Senator Casey.
but the developments of the first few
days do not indicate this. A few days
ago information from Fargo came to
the effect that there was movement on
to elect a young man in place of
the Jamestown-Minneapolis sena-
tor. This was promptly followed
by the appearance of Senator
Haggert and John z. Bray at the Mer-
chants. Mr.. Bray, it will be remem-
bered, was short time since appointed
postmaster of Grand Forks, resigning
the office of state auditor to accept it.
The defeat of President Harrison has
convinced Mr.. Bray that he made bad
swap as he is too active politician
to be assured of long term of Office
under a Democratic administration.
These facts set him to thinking, and a
North Dakota politician of prominence
and wide acquaintance is authority tor
the statement that Mr.. Bray will be the
young Republican" that will be en-
tered in the senatorial race against Mr..
Casey.
MI. Bray is a young man, COM
paratively speaking, being about the
age of Senator Hansbrough. He is
son of that veteran Democrat, ex-Sheriff
Pat Bray, of Sibley county, this state,
and comes by his liking for politics
naturally, if the brand he chooses is
little "otf-color." lie has been remark
ably successful thus far in politics, and
is as clever worker as can be found in
the Northwest. He knows how to keep
his own counsel, and during the three
or four days he spent in st. Paul no one
was able to extract mite of informa-
ton from him regarding the politics of
North Dakota.

WORK OF THE CLERKS.

A Resolution to Investigate Their
Methods and Compensation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Mr. Dockery,
of Missouri, introduced into the house
the following resolutions:
"That commission, consisting of five
members elect to the house of rep
resentatives of the Fifty third congress,
to be appointed by the speaker of the
house of Representatives Of the Fifty
second congress, shall, prior to the first
Monday of December next, inquire into
and examine the methods of business
and work in the executive departments
of the government, the time and atten-
tion devoted to the operation thereof by
the persons employed therein, and the
degree of efficiency of all such en-
ployeS; and whether a reduction in the
number or compensation of persons
authorized to be employed in said eXecu-
tive department can be made without
injury to the public services"

REPUBLICAN PLANS.
Immediately After Adjournment
the Senators of That Party
Meet in Caucus.
Composition of the Committees
and the Two Statehood Bills
Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-It is custom
ary at the beginning of a session OF con-
gress for the party i'll power in the sem
ate to have caucus to discuss the plans
to be pursued during the session, and
today proved no exception to the rule.
AS soon as the senate had adjourned the
Republican senators repaired to the
reception room and for an hour talked
over matters, but without reaching any
conclusions. 1t was thought that the
anti-OptiOn bill would be a subject for
some discussion, but it is stated that it
was not brought up at all. The present
composition of the committees was dis
cussed incidentally, as were the two
bills for the admission of two states,
Arizona and New Mexico; but no action
was taken. and tie caucus adjourned
without really accomplishing anything.
1t was made apparent, however, tbat as
the statehood bills will be yigOrO uSJy
pressed by the Democratic senators, ac-
tion would be taken for the adoption OF
some uniform policy upon the subject
by the Republican senator's.
At present many of them-probably a
majOrity-are opposed 10 the bills, the
objections being OStensibly based on the
iliteracy OF a large part of the popula-
llOlI vi AIlLDlId anu -NGN NiCAlCO anu
the fact that many of the inhabitants
are not Americanized, but speak only
the Spanish language: and lack OF pop
ulatOn. Back of these objections lies
the fact that the two territories are now
represented by Democratic delegates
and might fairly be expected to send
Democratic senators to add to the adj
verse majority in the senate during the
next congress. There are some
Republican senators, however, who
feel that if tile new states are
admitted by the act of Republican
senate and president they might
be brought into the Republican fold,
while TO reject their application now
might be to insure their admission after
the 4th Of March by the Democratic
senate and hopelessly ALLEVIATE the new
states from the Republican party. Some
Of the senators from the newly admitted
Western states-nOtable Senator Du-
boiS. of ldaho-are Of this opinion, and.
besides, they feel so grateful at their
own admission that they do not feel
disposed to act uncharitable toward the
few remaining territories. The subject
having been fairly launched in the Re-
publican caucus today, cannot in all pro-
bability be withdrawn. and it is likely
TO form the leading topic for discussion
at the next caucus.

PUBLIC BUILDING.
Appropriations Will Depend on
the Treasury's Condition.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. Represent
ative Bankhead chairman of the house
committee on public buildings and
grounds, when asked today about the
policy to be pursued IN the committee
on public building bills, said that the
committee would wait until the presi-
dents message shah have been re
ceived and see how much money re-
mainsin the treasury. Ii there prove
to be surplus to Justify it, appr0pria-
tions would be made for buildings
where they are most needed, but if the
financial condition shows deficiency
there would be no appropriations for
new buildings Mr.. Bankhead added
that it was quite likely that in any
event the appropriation for buildings
would be held close.

Their Cases to Be Heard in United
States Court.

MADISON, Wis. Dec. 5.-At the ses-
sion of the United States district court.
commencing in this city Dec. 6, Judge
Bum will hear a number of interesting
cases, among which are those of two
Chippewa Indian murderers, Money
Benny and Kosene. and the case of
William Shol Holmes, an embezzling
deputy United States internal revenue
collector. The two Indians are charged
with the murder of an old Indian. Bone
ash, and his squaw. They were tried IN
the circuit court at Ashland, but it was
decided that the crime was committed
on government land, thus throwing the
case into the United States court. The
crime was committed Sept. 25 on a
river in the Oneida reservation. where
the accused lived, and it is said that the
deed was prompted by desire on the
part of Koseine, who is seventy years
old, to possess the squaw OF Boneash.
Money Penny, who is a nephew or Ko-
seine and about thirty-five years old. is
charged with being an accomplce.
Koseine has had five wives, and all but
one have mysteriously disappeared.
Money Penny was arrested two years
ago for stabbing man to death. He
managed to escape on plea OF self
defense.

REFUSED BY FOSTER.
The Estimates OF Revenues Given
to the appropriation Commit

The Estimates OF Revenues Given
to the appropriation Commit
tees.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The annual
book of estimates usually laid before
congress Oh the first day of the session
did not make its appearance at the cap
itOl today. This is the first time in
many years. perhaps the first time in
the history of congress. that the book
failed to make its appearance there, ,and
consequently the condensed statement
prepared by the clerks of the senate and
! house committees on appropriations
showing the estimated amount of each
appropriation bill for the next fiscal
year was not ready. This statement
also includes the probable excess of eX-
penditureS over revenues or vice versa
for the year. and the only
thing necessary for It's compile
ton is the estimate of revenues
from the treasury department. Secre-
tary Foster today refused to give to the
appropriations committee of the two
houses his estimate of what the reve-
nues would be for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1894, and the statement is
withheld until the secretary is heard
customary for the treasury department
to furnish both appropriation commit
tees with its estimate OF revenues prior
to the first day of the session, but Sec
retary Foster has refused to do this, and
he will compel the committee to await
the official receipt of his annual report.
in which the estimates will be con-
tanned. 1t is inferred from his refusal
that he will make some very important
statement in connection with the mat
ter, and in view of the reports that the
expenditures made by the treasury de-
partment are likely to be in excess of
the receipts of the government, his
comments are looked forward to with
more than usual interest.
The secretary of the treasury today
transmitted to congress the estimates of
appropriations required for the service
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1894.
The total estimates are S421, ,6i2,S15, be-
ing S12, ,003, 522 more than estimated. and
l.649, 755 less than the appropriations
for the present fiscal year.
III the estimates as submitted the civil
service committee ask for an increase of
$4,000, making the total $59920. No
estimates are made for Judgment fer
claims, though $1,000 was appropri-
atcd for that purpose, The State de-
partment reduces its estimate for fore
eign intercourse 100000 from the appro-
priatfon OF 1893 The estimates for tn
treasury department are practically the
same as last year. the war de-
partment reduces its estimates
from the appropriations of last
year by l4000,000 by cutting the esti-
mates for public works DOWN to $40, ,Q00,-

RAU MS CASE.
Impossible to Say What Steps
will Be Taken to Revive 1t.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. Chairman
Wheeler, of the Raum Investigation
committee, could not say positively to-
day what movements would be taken to
revive the Raum matter, as Represent
atlve Enloe, of Tennessee, the chief
promoter of the Investigation, had not
reached the city, and one or two mem
berS of the committee were still absent.
The REPORT of last session, he said, could
only be brought up again by special
rule, and, after consultation with mem
bers of his committee. it is likely that
the committee on rules will be CON
ferred with 10 that end. The room last
year for taking testimony has been
fitted. and gives every evidence of oc-
cupany by its former Legislators. In re-
gard to the statement that he was an
applicant for the commiSSionership of
pensions, Mr.. Wheeler said it was all
newspaper talk, and he had expressed
no desire in the matter.

WAR VESSELS ON THE LAKES.
An Interesting Document to Be
Sent to the Senate.

Sent to the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-An interest
ing document on the subject of war yes
sells on the lakes will be sent to the SEN
ate by the state department during the
coming week. The information was
asked for 10y resolution passed in the
early part of last session. and consider
able surprise was expressed that the
reply was not received before congress
adjourned. The object of the resolution
was TO make the state department show
cause why the act passed in 1866, re-
quiring notice to be given to Great
Britain of the desire Of the United
States to abrOgate the treaty regarding
the number of vessels to be kept OH the
lakes, had not been carried out. The
reply Of the department will be the
basis for congressional legislation,
looking to modification of the treaty,
which will admit of the construction of
war vessels by firms On the lakes. The
same resolution asked the secretary of
the navy for information as to whether
or not any bids from lake firms for the
construction OF war vessels had ever
been rejected because they were held
to be a violation of the treaty. The
that Que rejection had been made OIL
this account.
The state department has been ac-
cused of evading the joint resolution
calling for the abrogation of the treaty.
There are some people who think the
treaty abrogated. There is no donbt
that such resolution was passed. and
it is Oh record that notice was given to
Great Britain, in accordance herewith,
of the intention of this government to
abrogate the treaty. What followed is
a mystery outside OF the diplomatic
world. 1t is understood that the state
ment will show that the notice issued
under the act was withdrawn within a
few days after it was issued, and that
for reasons then existing both countries
agreed to consider the treaty still in
force. 1t will be further shown that the
treaty is SO regarded to the present day
by both governments, Notwithstanding
