MRS. BLAINE'S CASE.
The Evidence All ina Decision Not Ey-
pected for Some Days.

DEADwoOD, S. D., February 19.-At
last the Blaine divorce case has come To
trial and all the testimony is in. This
morning Judge Palmer, the plaintiffs
attorney, read the complaint and the
defendants answer, and then began
reading the depositlons until u o'clock,
when a recess was taken for two hours.
Three depOSitious were read: those of
General Martin Mcmahon, Drs. Frazer,
T. Fuller and Wyncoop in the order
named.
This afternoon Mrs. Blaine was on
the stand. She recited the story Of her
marriage, which was fastened because
her husband did not want her to go on
the stage.
She spoke Of the happy first year and
then detailed the visit Of the Young
couple 20 Maine, where her husband
was kept away from her by his mother;
told how she had been foiled in attempts
to be become reconciled to him; gave
the details Of her return 10 New York
and subsequent sickness and suffering
in that city.
She had come to South Dakota for a
home and wanted especially to secure
custody Of her child which she was able
TO support by her pen. This closed the
testimony and after the submission Of
some law points the case was closed. A
decision is not expected for some days.

LONDON, February lo.-It Is freely
stated that the Irish Free Local bill, as
presented In the House of Commons last
evening, is the result OF many stormy
meetings of the Cabinet, and that Mr..
Balfour was more than once overruled.
Even the Standard admits this by
saying that the bill is the result OF
compromise and that its acceptance, rs
in the case of all compromises, has not
been as satisfactory as Its promoters
could desire. While its reception last
evening by the opposition and to-day
by the press was the most hostile ever
given TO n bill yet there are no signs OF
reaction setting in.
The bill, In brief, gives rste papers
I'm Irish counties and Baronies full
power TO manage their own affairs.
The franchise is the same as IL exists In
England. The Irish counties In some
respects are given more extensive func-
tions than those possessed by the SINH
lar bodies In Great Britain, and while
England is waiting for district councils,
ireland Is offered councils Immediately.
AS was expected the criticism OF the
Irish and Liberal members turned
chiefly in the checks and safeguards;
but few expected such an unanimous
and sweeping condemnation.
Whatever may be the fate OF the bill
there is no chance OF an appeal 10 tho
country on the measure, but everything
intimates that the Government is riding
for fall, and that the dissolution OF
Parliament will come when IL Is least
expected.
Defeat on some side issue would en-
able the Government TO appeal TO the
country without appearing 10 have un-
duly precipitated dissolution In order TO
neglect pledges still unrealized and At
the same time the Government would
avoid aliening friends who object TO
some projected measures.
The thin ice over which the Govern
ment Is skating was indicated by a vote
In the House OF Commons tonight, when
a resolution, expressing regret at tho
appointment OF a Welsh Judge, ignorant
OF the Welsh language, was rejected by
majority OF only %. Attorney Cen
eral Webster and Mr.. Balfonr support
ed the appointment. The announce
ment OF the figures OF the vote was
greeted with loud opposition cheers.
The excitement over the Montagu
tragedy Is increasing. The husband OF
Mrs. Montagu Is a grandson OF the
Duke OF Manchester and former Of
ficer In the navy. Mrs. Montagu, who
Is OF Scotch extraction, Is the daughter
OF a wealthy London tea merchant. She
is noted for her daring horsemanship In
Ireland.
The Prince OF Wales has decided TO
close his connection with the turf. All
his entries have been cancelled for
three months. He had several remark
ably fine horses In training. and a hand
some profit was expected for the iirst
time In the history OF the stables.

+, SHOT HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW.
Samuel A. Rouzee Shootsand Kills Wheel
er Haiues-The Coroner's Verdict.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO tie Reosster

er Hatnes-The Coroners Verdict.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM to 1> Re0ister.
RoMNEY, February 19.-News has
reached this place Of fatal shooting,
which occurred near Hlgginsville, in
this county. Samuel A. Rouzee, a young
man of about 81 years OF age, shot and
killed Wheeler Haines, who married
Rouzee's sister. Rouzee is brother OF
VIM. Rouzee who was with the Mcbride
girl when she was burned to death, a
few weeks ago, and is now under bail
for his appearance at court.
RouZee and Haines were returning
from party late in the night when the
shooting occurred and they were unac-
companied. He claims it was accidental.
So many stories are in circulation that
little credence can be given to any OF
them. 1t is believed by some
persons that doubt exists as TO its being
an accident. The circumstance as re-
ported, are sufficient TO warrant thor
ough investigation by the proper author
ties.
Tie fact that two accidental deaths
have occurred in so short time, in the
same community, caused by drunken
midnight revels, is an outrage on the
good name of the county and against
the good citizens OF that community.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury, reads
as follows:
That the deceased, said Stephen w.
Raines came to his death by pistol
shot in the hands Of Samuel A. Rouzee,
by accident"

THE INDIAN QUESTION.
The West Virginia Woman's Association
Wresties With the Problem.

A large and enthusiastic meeting Of
the West Virginia Woman's Indian Asso-
citation was held yesterday afternoon.
Congressman Pendleton's remarks on
Wednesday regarding the Indian appro-
priation bill, was the subject OF discus
sion.
The sentiment OF this portion Of an
influential constituency was at vari-
ance with his views regarding the appro-
priations, they holding that II was far
cheaper to spend money In domesticat-
ing and educating the Indian than to
fight them.
They, however, coincided with his
views regarding the giving Of lands, as
II was originally the property OF the un-
tutored savage, and in justice they were
entitled to a portion Of II. The mem
bers OF the Association desire that Mr..
Pendleton give careful consideration TO
their side OF the question before fur
thering his opposition.

THAT FRENCH MUDDLE.
They Arc Now Explaining What Their
Intentions Were.


Intentions Were.
PARIS. February 19.-It is supposed
that NJ. DeFreycinet had not intended
Yesterday TO press the consideration OF
the Associations bill, which was de-
signed 20 lntImidate the bishops and
please the Radicals.
NJ. Hubbard's demand for urgency. TO
rush the bill through the Chamber with
out a second reading. placed the Pre-
mler in a dilemma. His acceptance OF
the motion would be tantamount 10
direct attack on the church, and would
therefore ensure the hostility OF the
members Of the Right, while refusal OF
urgency would convict the government
OF insincerlty.
NJ. DeFreycinet tried TO equivocate.
M. Clemenceau demanded that he drop
his political subtleties and state plainly
whether be was for or against the sep
GRAFTON OF church and state.
NJ. DeFreyclnet then petulsntly de-
manded vote Of confidence being con-
scious that the life OF the cabinet de-
pended on coalition OF the moderntes
with either the radicals or the members
OF the right.
