THE report of the Legislative
proceedings published this morn
ing contains report of one of the
Opium Committees, which makes
several very severe charges against
the Marshal. These charges are
corroborated by statements in the
report of the Finance Committee,
one Of the signers of which, it
should be noted, is the present
Premier. A further report is prom
ised by the other opium committee,
and the two, together Win the cor.
responding pas sssages from the Fl.
nance1'1report, have been made a
special order for next Tuesday.

c. L. HOPKINS, who is one of the
Ministerial candidates for Legisla-
tive honors, has come out in the
character of humorist. In a
speech last night he told his audi
ence that he had no idea of letting
them know what his views on the
lottery were, but they would find
out from his vote in the House. It
is to be hoped that Mr.. Hopkins
prospective constituents will be sat-
isfied with this lucid explanation
of his intentions, but as they are
presumably all lottery adherents
themselves, it is likely that they
will insist on something more pre-
else, either in public or in private.

THE statement made in the Bull
letin editorially that the briefs
published in the ADVERTISER re-
garding the want of confidence
vote were paid for as advertise
ments IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE. They
were published, as was the Court
decision, as news, at the expense
of this paper alone; and not only
this, but we sought to procure a
copy of Mr.. Hatch's brief to ac-
company them, but were unable to
obtain it. They are all valuable
documents on question which
has now been, no doubt, finally
disposed of.

"AnOther Compromise by the Lottery

TTPON Our SUGGES ION THE
u Lottery people having dropped the
"policy clause" have met our further
views and have decided to offer Fire wood
instead of Coin as prizes, and upon in
quiring around and getting prices quoted
by several dealers they settled on two as
the only ones whose rates were sufficient
ly cheap for business, calling upon the
one OF those whose prices were quoted
lowest, they had about concluded ar
rangements when they discovered that
his wood was worthless as it ~as worm
eaten and had dry-rot, SO dropping their
negotiation they called upon the other,
HUST CE 4 CO, and after apologizing
for not coming there first they inspected
their Wood and found it in first-class
coudition-sound and good-aDd more
than doubly worth the difference asked ;
without further argument the bargain
was closed and thus the objection to the
Lottery is now removed and every one
will be supplied with Sound FirewooI

FINAL SESSION..
The Farmers Alliance Convention Closes
at Memphis

The Farmers Alliance Convention Closes
at Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 1S.-The clos
ing session of the Alliance convention
was held at o'clock, when the newly
elected officers were installed in the
presence of about one half the delegates.
The others were so much disguised at
the result of the contest for the offices
that they remained away from the hall.
A number of these delegates insist that
as soon as they return to their homes
and announce the result of the action of
the convention to their state alliances
that a withdrawal from the national
body will at once take place and new
order will be formed. The announce
ment of the election of Loucks was
the last straw with his opponents and
they at once began action. A room
was secured at the Gayose hotel
where they prepared manifesto de-
nouncing in unmeasured terms the IN
Just warfare that had been waged upon
G. NJ. McCune by partisan leaders.
They also deplored the fact that persons
who were not members of the order
have by their access to the secret actions
of the body sought to degrade it in the
public mind. The manifesto is signed
by all the Southern delegates, headed by
Ben Terryll, of Texas.
The Alliance convention was finished
when the officers were installed and the
delegates began leaving for home.
Some of the northern delegates will
take trip south before returning home.

AN IMMENSE AMOUNT.

Congress Will Be Asked to Appropriate
S1SO.OOO. 900 for Pensions Next Year.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-There appears
to be more than usual interest attached
to the forthcoming annual report of the
commissioner of pensions 1t has been
pretty well understood for some time
past that the estimates for the next
fiscal year would show large increase
over any previous year. This expecta-
ton was based on the fact of the large
issue of pensions during the year con-
sequent upon recent pension legislation,
which admitted to pensionable status
a very large number of soldiers who
were not pensionable under the former
laws. In few days the report Of Gen.
eral Raum will be completed The
statements have been made that the
amount that will be required for pen
sions during the next fiscal year will
nearly reach the enormous sum of $780,
100000. The work of compiling
the figures is sufficiently advanced
to show that this estimate
is in excess of the actual requirements.
Since the passage of the disability bill
there has been 4 rapid increase in the
amount needed to pay the pensions. For
the year 1S90-'91 the total appropriation
on account of pensions was about $780,
100000. Last year there was an in
crease to $144, 100000 But as General
Raum will state in his report. this
amount fell short of the actual demands
by about SIS, 900, 900, so that there is a
deficiency of that amount. Congress
will be asked to make an appropriation
of about $3.50, 600, 600 for the coming fis-
cal year, about SIS, 100000 of which is
an anticipation of an increase of that
amount over the actual expenditures of
the last year. 1t is the Judgment of
General Raum that while this amount
is likely to be increased the next year or
two, the maximum limits are nearly
reached. 1t is argued that the great
bulk of the pension appropriation at
present is used in making first payments
and carrying arrears, and, therefore, as
soon as the great rush of applications
under the disability act is over rapid
decline in first payments will occur. 1t
is understood that the first payments
last year aggregated over 1000, 900,
which covered the back pay in the 3D.,
OU0 cases allowed.

FOR A NEW CAPITOL.

Minnesota's Commissioners Favor One
Similar to the Iowa Building.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 21.-The state capitol
commission met Tuesday at the Mer-
chants. All the members were present.
The commission has been spoken of as
removal commission" but there has
been nothing as yet in their deliberations
or actions which seems to contemplate
any removal of the state capitol, unless
it should be the slight change within st.
Paul made necessary to secure more
ground. The commission had set the
limit of cost of new capitol at $3,0O0,-
600 as the highest, and $2,OOO,OOO as the
lowest figure.
The plan Of building was discussed
and sentiment favored one similar to
the Iowa capitol. This is supposed to
have cost 81, sou, O0U, and is described to
the commission as about the size and
shape to fit the Minnesota common
wealth. Chairman Mcmillan suggested
that bill be drawn for presentation in
the legislature, and he and Senator
Dean were appointed to draft the
measure. The commission went into
executive session to discuss certain
features of the bill. 1t was subsequently
decided that the commission visit Des
Moines in body on Nov. % to inspect
the state capitol there.

RESULTS FnOM A FRIENDLY GAME
NEAR FRAZEE, MIMI.
Farmer Van sickler Kills His Wife and
Himself and Fatally Wounds Guest.
An Insane Chicagoan Kills Two People
and Seriously Injuries Three Others.
FRAzEE, Mimi, Nov. all. l.. Van
Sickler, Silver Leaf farmer, quarreled
with his wife and friend Saturday
night over game of cards. He pro-
cured Winchester rifle and shot her
twice through the body, one ball pass
ing through the heart, killing her in
stantly. He then turned the weapon on
himself and sent bullet through his
lungs. Reversing his weapon again, he
shot F. c. Brown, of Fargo, through
the hips.
Coroner Hansen and DIR. Hoyt. of De-
troit, were notified and went at once to
the scene, and found that Van Sickler
had placed the muzzle of the gun in his
own mouth and blown the top of his
head off. Brown is the son of f. q.
Brown, deputy register of deeds at
Fargo, and had been stopping with the
Van Sickler family while hunting for
the past few weeks. He is still alive,
but, owing to weakness from loss of
blood and exposure his recovery is con-
sidered impossible. At the time OF the
shooting all were more or less under the
influence of liquor. The general opinion
is that Van Sickler was jealous, as Mrs.
Van Sickler had the reputation of being
a woman of VIGOROUSLY loose character.

fatalities are reported in Skagit and
Stillaguamish valleys from the foods.
mount Vernon, Fir, Laconner, Hamilton

Several breaks have occurred in the

UNCLE JERRY'S ANNUAL.
Report of Secretary Rusk of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Report of Secretary Rusk of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Secretary
Rusk has sought to make his fourth and
last annual report as head of department
of agriculture valuable document and
has grouped together many interesting
facts to show what great agricultural
people we are and what proper thing
it was to make the prime commissioner
of agriculture cabinet officer. He
says we sent abroad last year two hun
dred million dollars of products more
than we had to import from foreign ma
tons, and 10 per cent. of these products
were agricultural.
He claims some credit for that be-
cause he shows an increase of O,OO0,ooo
pounds weight of pork sent to countries
which formerly excluded American
pork and 4O,0O0,OO0 dollars value In
crease in our exports of live cattle. AL
this comes from the increased precau-
tions to secure healthfulness OF Amerl-
can food products. The regulations Of
fered for the prevention Of Texas fever
alone have saved cattle growers more
than three times the cost of running
the whole department. And as to the
suppression Of pleuro- pneumonia the
secretary grows emphatic and eloquent,
notwithstanding the assertions to the
contrary of wicked and prejudiced Lon
don newspapers.
He explains why our wheat did not
realize the big hopes raised by the short
crops In various European countries in
1891 by saying that the anticipation OF
enhanced prices failed to take into &C
count the changed conditions now sur
rounding the production and marketing
Of the worlds wheat crop. Taking
the world throughout the fat crops more
than equaled the lean crops of 1891, SO
that there was actually more wheat
grown in that year than in 1890.
Secretary Rusk throws cold water on
the rain makers. The experiments are
being Loyalty made as congress directed,
but the facts in his possession do not
justify the anticipations formed by the
believers IN this method of artificial
rainmaking.
As his last word, the secretary ex-
presses his profound appreciation of the
:Ss1inl axmnathY and broad int3lliRence

COLUMBUS, Nov. 21.-Twelve hundred

The cause of this action was the failure
of President Scott to comply with re-
quests for him to ameliorate the sanitary
condition of their reception, study and
lunch rooms which the physiological
and geological laboratories adjoin. A
careless janitor permitted these labora-
tories to get into such condition as to
emit odors. President Scott expects to
