laid down in the national Democratic
platform of 1881 and in that sterling mes

1T NAY BE HARRISON
BUT HE is 81 NO MEANS SURE OF
1HE NOMINATION..

Wolverines Praise AIger and Have words
ofApproval for Harrison and His Ad-
ministration-silver Question Raises II
Kumpus at the Nebraska Democratic
Convention.
WAsHINGToN, April IA rumor has
been floating around the Capitol that at
conference of q number Of Republican SEN
ators who are not very ardent admirers Of
President Harrison they had concluded to
inform him that they did not think he
could be reelected if renominated, and
suggest to him that he formally step
aside so as to leave the field clear for some
other Republican to be chosen as the
standard bearer Of the party. Dilgent
inquiry among the senators failed to CON
firm the rumor,
There is. nevertheless rs the inquiries
show, some feeling of opposition against
the presidents nomination, but at present
II is not Of sufficient strength to be re-
gardcd as formidable. This opposition is
not due to any personal antagoniSm, but
to the conviction that the president is the
least available man the Republicans can
nominate This view. however, is only
held Ivy a few of the senators.
The great ma iori'y say the a1ministra-
ton has been "a good one in every respect,
and If they cannot win with Harrison they
cannot win with anyone. A leading Re
publican senator. who stands high in the
councils of the party, says that it is by nc
means certain that President Harrison
will be renominatcd The next six weeks
he says, may very materially change the
situation.
There has been sort of an understanding
that in the selection of the delegates from
the different states TO the Minneapolis
convention, there should be as few in
structed delegations as possible. so that
when they meet at the convention the sit
uation could be carefully considered, and
if found that Pres mt Harrison is the
most available candidate, to renominatt
him; but if some othcrdistinguished lead q
can be found who will more thoroughly
unite and solidfy the party, it will be thu
part of wisdom, in the judgment of many
senators, to select him.

A ROUGH-AND-TUMBLE SklRMlSH


: ssetOn Reservation.
BRowN's VALLEY, Mimi, April 10,
Prown's Valley has never presented such
a spectacle in it's history RS it did ycster
day Hordes of tin-horn spectators and
cheap gamblers throngcd the saloons, and
hundreds of weary men were piowinc
about in the mire, waiting for the first
note of bugle signal This morning the
available troops were deployed into a
vidette line surrounding the reservalio
on it's north and east boundaries
Major Bernard himself proceeded tn the
point of the BLUM west of here with n
bugler The bugle signal opened the fir
ing which was carried along the line, each
man firing one shot. At that instant there
was heltcr-skelter rush for the town site,
twelve miles north and fifteen miles west
OF the valley. The scene at the gun fire
was wild one. At least fifty horsemen
engaged in a desperate scramble over the
reservation for the future city of Sisseton
Miss Mamie Shaler and Bessie Cole, two
pretty Iowa schoolmisses, are here after
land. Every man in the crowd has sworn
to see the girls treated to the best halt
section of the reservation. The toughest
camper treated them with consideration
and courtesy. There are half dozen
young women here altogether.

WILL FILE AN INJUNCTION.

Attorney General Stockton Preparing
 to Take Legal Action Against the
 New Jersey Railroads Interested in
 the Reading Deal.
 TRENTON, N. J., May S.-Attorney Gen. eral Stockton, under advice of Governor Abbett, is preparing to take legal action against the New Jersey railroads inter ested in the Reading deal. He is at work on an injunction which will be filed in the court of chsncery in few days. The law of New Jersey prohibits the leasing of its corporations to foreign corporations, and the New Jersey Central to get into the deal which. it is said. was really planned several years ago, had itself leased to the Port Reading, e company controlled by the magnets of the Reading and Lacka- wanna and yet so insignificant that 1t has never made any returns for taxation to the state board of assessors, as by law all railroad corporations are bound to do. The bill which the attorney general will file will charge that the lease of the Central to the Port Reading is an evasion and fraud on the law forbidding leasing to foreign corporations or nonresident owners, and will pray for an order decreeing the lease to be invalid and directing its cancellation.

 Yesterday Afternoon Witnessed by
 over Twenty-Five Thousand People.
 OMAHA, May S.-Last evenings meeting of the NJ. E. quadrennial conference was a missionary love feast, in which Bishop Thoburn, Rev. MT. Burt and others took part. "The American University" and Christian Education" were themes at the mass meeting this afternoon, which was attended by over 25.0OO people. All the addresses had reference to the proposed great university at Washington, which will not be thrown open until an endow- ment fund of five millions has been secured. The nature of the scheme was set forth by Bishop Hurst, who presided. Rev. pr. Moulton, the English delegate, expressed his approval of the scheme. It was announced that several large subscrip- tions had been promised. A resolution was adopted asking the bishops to desig
 nate October 16 as Columbian day, when subscriptions will be taken for the Ameri- can university. The question will come before the general conference for definite action sometime during the present month.

THE NATIONAL CAPITOL.

What Will be Done by Our National Lawmakers the Coming Week.
 The Choctaw and Chickasayy
 Claim and the Naval Appropriation
 Bill in the Senate-The Sundry Civ
 il Hill in the House-Other Busi-
 ness.
 WASHINGTON, May S.-The Choctaw
 and Chickasaw claim is to be discussed in
 vote will be taken on the resolution au-
 thorizing payment to the Indians of about three millions. The naval appropriation
 bill will be called up in the senate Tuesday. By instruction of the commerce commit tee MT. Frye will report at the earliest op- portunity the house bill which provides for the admission to American reg istry of the Inman line steamers City of Paris and City of New York. He will doubtless make an effort to secure immediate action upon the bill and there by excite discussion which promises to be long and heated, as it is expected to bring up the topics of "free ships," and protec- tion to American shipbuilders. The bill to provide for the punishment of violation of the treaty rights of aliens will be pressed upon the attention of the senate by the committee on foreign relations at the first opportunity and is also likely to give rise to much debate. Syine on the presiding officers desk is the presidents communication relative to bi- monetary conference, in which MT. Morgan has given notice of his intention to speak, and probably other senators will set forth their views upon it. Unusually rapid progress was made with the river and har Dor bill in the house during the week and as result the sundry civil bill will probably be taken up tomorrow after part of the day is consumed in District of Columbia busi- ness. The sundry civil bill is long meas ure containing many items of local inter est to congressman. Moreover, the bill is not satisfactory to the republican members of the appropriations committee, who ob ject to @ number of items as insufficient. Thus the consideration of the bill will require several days. Chairman Hatch of the committee on agricul ture will try to secure consideration for the anti-options bill when the sundry civil bill is out of the way. Many however, will strive to keep the | bill in the background. MT. | of Kentucky will antagonize | the anti-options bill with the Notifications | pill. Only three of the regular annual ap- bills remain to be reported to | the house, viz, the legislative, executive | md judicial, agricultural and the def ,iency bills.
