BISMARCK, n. D., Feb. 5.-The re-
markable contest going on here among
lhe ffty-three Republicans of the legiS-
lature over a seat in the United States
senate is attracting attention all over
the country. Less than thirty working
DAYS of the session remain, and yet the
deadlock is as firm today as month
ago. The whole affair resolves itself
into fight to the death between the
Mckenzie faction and the young Re-
publicanS for control of the party in the
state. The McKenZieites have been in
the saddle since territorial days, and the
young Republicans have resolved to un-
horse them, even if a senator must be sac
rilictd to do it. Since the withdrawal OF
Senator Casey Friday, which was first
blood for the anti-MckenZie men, thlr-
ty-two ballots have been taken by the
Republicans in caucus, but no candi-
date has received over seventeen votes.
Under the rules laid down as cOndi-
tiOn precedent to the withdrawal OF
Casey, no candidate shall be considered
the nominee until he receives thirtysiX
votes, two-thirds of all the Republican
members of the legislature The fight
has already grown 50 bitter between the
factions that few people believe that an
agreement will be reached. Both fac
tions have reached that point where,
rather than see the other win, they are
willing to engineer a stand-otf by elect
ng Democrat, or hold the deadlock to
the end of the session, and permit Gov.
Sh0rtridge to appoint Populist.

HUNDREDS DROWNED.
erty by a Flood in Queens
land.
One Town Entirely Under Water
The Railways Stop Run
ming Trains.

BRISBANE, Feb. 5.-Increasing rains
for several days have caused floods
throughout Queensland. Part of this
city is under water. People are deserting
the low-lying districts, as many houses
are submerged to the second floor, and
the water is still rising. The towns OF
Bundaberg, Ipswich and Bundamba are
are suffering most severely, and are
threatened with total demolition. The
inhabitants have left their houses, and
those who have not fed to the higher
LANDS have taken refuge in roofs of the
highest buildings. All domestic animals
and hundreds of cattle have BEEN
drowned. A large loss of human life is
reported, but nothing definite can be
ascertained as to the total number. A
mine near Bundamba was flooded and
seven miners were drowned. In Ips-
wich many houses have collapsed.
Goodna Is entirely under water, and the
inhabitants have taken refuge on the
hills. Hundreds are homeless, without
shelter and without food. The loss of
property is enormous. Cattle have been
drowned by the thousands. Railways
haved been washed out and telegraph
lines have been broken. All regularity :
of travel has ceased. Most railWa, ;
have stopped rnEning trains.

That Enormous Sum Of the
Panama Corruption Fund
Placed in America.
This Statement Comes From
the Fleuppy Government
Accountant.
He Refuses to Give the Names
Of the Americans I'M
plieated.
All Panama Labor Opganiza-
tions Suppressed After
the Riot.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-The Paris cor
respondent of morning paper sends the
following: Now that the United Stetes
have begun in earnest to investigate the
American end of the great Panama
scandal, the revelations, judged from
information at hand on this side of the
ocean, promise to hurt great many
regulations. Not many of Americas
public men are implicated, and almost
no members of congress, because the
Panama company needed no such legis-
lation in America as it did in France.
The general desire to shield everyday
connected with the thing in France
makes it difficult to get at even the
American details. With the exception
of two or three, none of the big men
connected with the French investiga-
ton are in earnest, and in one way and
another they are doing everything they
can to keep secret the worst points.
The recent scars over savings banks
was all in the same line of desire to
draw attention from the great scandal
to something else. The Fleurry gov
ernment accountant, appointed to ex-
anime all the books, says;
"According to the way the books were
kept the Panama and American &C
counts were run in together. All in all,
in both these places-New York and
Panama-42, 10000 francs were spent.
This amount was divided as follows
Panama got 20,000,000 francs and New
York %, 10000 francs altogether"
How about the purchase of the Pan
anna railroad?"
81 have not looked into that yet, but |
have no DOUBT that when the matter is
investigated the same extravaganza
which characterized the work here will
be found to have been duplicated in
America.
sit is useless to ask for the names of
Americans said to be implicated in this
affair. If | knew them | would not tell
them. | know the names of the 104
deputies over here supposed to have
taken Panama stock, yet will not give
them out. do not want to put myself
i'll the awkward position of making
charges against people which perhaps |
cannot prove. Let some one else make
the charges"

AMNESTY IN ABEYANCE.
Dillon Would Do Nothing to Jeop-
ardize Home Rule.

ardize Home Rule.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-John Dillon. anti
Parnellite for East Mayo, in speech at
burnley today. deprecated the attempt
to force the amnesty question upon the
government at the present critical
juncture. The prospect that amnesty
would be granted to all Irish political
prisoners. he said, had calmed the agi-
tation consider bly in ireland. and the
Irish people were now in mood to
wait with this question until the more
important matter of home rule was dis
posed of. Many leading Irishmen had
tried to impress upon Mr.. Redmond the
correct view of the situation, but he
had refused to listen to them.
The only wise course for Irish
men just now was to subordinate
other issues to home rule. He himself
wished, as much as anybody, that the
Irish political prisoners be released at
once, but, if by clamoring for their re-
lease any man would endanger home
rule. that man ought at once to decide
to hold his peace. Parnell had repeat
edly advised that the amnesty question
be held in allowance until the home rule
bill was passed. If, despite all warn
ings. the amnesty agitatOrs should move
their amendment, they would not only
be defeated by a great majority. but
would tie fast the hands of the govern
ment elected to work in their behalf.
James Egan. the released Irish dyna-
miter. was entertained at public dim
ner in Limerick. In response to toast,
Egan said he did not care for the ugly
name certain Conservative men were
calling him, as he was conscious of his
innocence. The Nationalists, more
over, possessed information which

JOHN BULLS ATTITUDE.
What 1t Is to Hawaii is Prob
lematicaI.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The attitude
of Great Britain towards the new pro-
visional government of Hawaii is still
involved in some doubt. 1t was learned
today that the statement credited yes
terday to Secretary Tracy, to the effect
that the impression that had here
tofOre obtained that representa-
tives of all the governments a
Honolulu, save that of Great Britain,
had recognized the new government,
was incorrect. was based upon the Ian
guage of the dispatch to the state de-
partment from Minister Stevens which
was brought from Honolulu on the
steamer that conveyed the Hawaiian
commissioners to San Francisco.
The members of the Hawaiian COM
mission, hewever, today reiterated their
statement of last night that up to the
hour of their sailing the recognition of
the provisional government by the
British minister at Honolulu had not
reached the ministry. They say that, of
course, it is possible that the British
tention of recognizing the govern
ment and that this fact came to
the knowledge of Mr.. Stevens before
he closed his dispatch, but they heard
not of it. Secretaries Foster and Tracy
declined to discuss the matter tonight.
The latter referred inquiries to the sec
retary of state, and he politely refused
to say anything beyond the statement
that he had said nothing on the subject.
Definite information on the question
will doubtless be received Wednesday,
when the next steamer from Honolulu
is due to arrive in San Francisco.

SHE is AFTER THEM.
Miss Anna r.. Dickinson BringI
Suits Which Amount in the
Aggregate to $125,OOO.
They Are Against the Eight Per-
SONS Who Put Her in an
Asylum.

SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. 5.-Miss Anna
E. Dickinson, lecturer and actress, yes
terday brought three suits in the circuit
court of the United States directed
against eight persons. two of whom are
physicians, asking damages in the ag-
gregate sum of Sl25,OOO. These suits
are directed against the persons who
were instrumental in lodging her in the
Danville asylum for the insane in Feb
ruary. 1891. The main suit is against
James Courtwright, George B. Thomp-
son, Allen Eggleston, John S, Helman,
George Underwood and Henry Dryden.
In this $4,000 damages are asked. In
the second suit DR.. George Under
wood, of Pittston, is made defendant,
and damages placed at s5O,O1O. The
third suit is against DR.. James Oglesby,
of Danville, from whom damages are
asked in the sum of S25, 1000. Miss Dick
inson, after referring to her alleged
forcible removal to an asylum, declared
that the examination of the physician
made as to her condition was made
hastily, improperly, negligently and in
sufficiently by the two physicians sum-
moned. In consequence of her i'm
prisonment she suffered mental and
physical agony, was subject to indig-
mites and pain from wounds and ex-
posure, and for five weeks was kept in
the asylum, during which time she was
cod it,nr hnt.
as a lecturer. For these reasons she
belieues that she is entitled to damages
in the aggregate sum of S125.O00. which
she now claims. The case will probably
be tried at the March term of court.

THE REAL HERO.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Feb. s.
A telegram has been received by Capt.
Brown, United States Indian agent
here, from the foreman of the govern
ment beef contractors, that he was at
the beef camp during the killing, but
made his escape. He states positively
that four cowboys we're killed at this
agency. Everything points to willful
and cruel murder. A detachment
sent from here to bring the
bodies of the white men to the agency.
but the friends of the murdered men
refused to let the police have the re-
mains, claiming they would attend to
the burial themselves. 1t has since
been learned that the four bodies were
sent to Hermosa, S. D., yesterday. In
formation has been received since the
engagement between the Indian police
and Two Strikes band yesterday that
it was owing to the firm and
heroic stand that YoungMan-Afraid-
of-His- Horse took that prevented an
other outbreak. No Water, the chief

reservation. After the police here
wounded Two Strike and his son and
killed White Face Horse and another
renegade Indian, No Water flew in
frenzy and called OH mis- followers to
avenge the killing and wounding of
Two Strike and his son. 1t was at this
stage that Young -Man-Atraid-of-His-
Horse showed tact and good general
ship. He hurriedly got his band to
gether and marched his people between
the police and No Waters followers
and in this way prevented another In
dian war.
The government officials here sub
mitted to the honorable secretary OF the
interior full account of YOung-Mau-
Afraid-o -His-Horse's actions in the
matter, and recommended that some
fitting testimonial be given him. Ser
geant Joe Bush and Sitting Bear have
also been recommend for promotion for
meritoriOus service.
A courier Just in from the camp re-
ports that Two Strike and his sons re-
turned two or three hours after killing
the cowboys and took their clothing
into camp and stole what food was in
sight. 1t was a difficult matter to OBJ
tain reliable particulars. Last night it
was rumored that Two Strikes friends
were moving towards the agency and
were going to fire the government
buildings, but this cannot be confirmed.
A blizzard is now raging, which is
usually more cooling to an Indians
ardor than anything else. Agent Brown
does not fear serious trouble.
The murdered men were all known in
this region. Their names were E. n.
CalkinS, foreman of the Humphrey
camp; Reminery Boyce, cook, and two
men named Hathaway and Bennett. 1t
is now supposed the Indians killed
Calkins and his associates in revenge
for their reporting to Agent Brown the
theft of steer from their herd early i'll

A TRUSTS DEVILTRY.
Some OF 1t Will Come Out in the
Investigation at Chi
cago.
Startling Story of the Attempted
Destruction of the Schufeldt
Distillery.

CHICAGO. Feb. 5.-The News Record
will tomorrow publish story to the
effect that among the witnesses that are
to be called to testify before the congress
sional committee investigating the
whisky trust, is an old-time member of
the "WhiSky pool" and subsequently
the trust, now living IN this city. His
information is likely to be sensational,
as he has been for months gathering let
tiers, telegramS and documents concern
ing the methods adopted by the trust.
Inside facts are detailed of alleged
frauds against the government since
1855, in which a great many prominent
politicians of the present time figure
who have been from to time connected
with the internal revenue department.
One of the startling features of the
evidence, it is said, will be the account
of the attempted destruction of the
Schufeldt distillery in the early morn
ing of Dec. 10, 1888. 1t was the intention
of those planning the destruction of the
distillery to have two bombs thrown
through glass skylight on the one
story roof of the store room. which con-
tanned 1,400 barrels of the spirit
of wine. The dynamite had been
prepared, one with long fuse
and the other with shorter.
OF the two men who had sneaked
along in the early dawn to wreck the
Schufeldt building, one was high Off
cial of rival concern and the other was
a trusted employe, who had been hired
to do the actual throwing. At the last
moment the enormity of the Grim e
caused him to lose his nerve, and his
chief was obliged to hurl the deadly
missiles. He. too, lost his nerve,
and threw the dynamite with the
shorter fuse. This exploded be-
fore the second could be thrown,
and when the latter came its fuse was
eXtinguished. One man bore away a
contract authorizing him to be paid $780,
600 for his part i'll the transaction. This
the man will now turn against the trust.
The developments. however, will
not stop at the disclosure of
the attempts on the Schufeldt
distilleries. The illicit manufacture and
sale of whisky through the collusion of
revenue officers, inspectors, gaugers
and government storekeepers, will be
exposed. This portion of the evidence
will, it is claimed by the News Record,
take in nearly all the large centers, in
cluding this city. New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Peoria, Bloomington, Gin
einnati, st. Louis, Springfield and In
dianapolis.

is that when the police squad reached
the camp they opened fire on the party
they were sent to arrest, without warn
ing and without making their mission
known, and shot them down in cold
blood, but this version of the bloody
affair is not substantiated. and Is
not believed to be correct. More
definite details concerning the killing OF
the four white men reached here this
evening, although the names of all the
men cannot be definitely learned yet,
but it is known that Clark Bacon and
his son-in-law were not among the
number. Bacon is resident of White
Clay precinct, Sheridan county, Ne
braska. The motive for the murder
cannot be definitely learned. One ac-
count is that the Indians were playing
cards with the whites in the dug-out in
which they were camped and got into
dispute, and that after leaving them
they returned and opened the door Of
the dug-out and shot them while they
were asleep. Another account is that
these Indians had been in one of their
sweathouses going through some OF
their savage ceremonies and became
imbued with the idea that it was incum-
bent upon them to kill these men, and
they carried it into effect.

LAKEWOOD, n. j.. Feb. 5.-COngress-
man William L. Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, who came from Washington
Saturday to confer with Mr.. Cleveland,
presumably Oh the prospect of the re-
peal of the Sherman silVer-purchaSe act
at this ressiUn of congress-, spent last
evening with Mr.. Cleveland and Don
M. Dickinson at the Cleveland cottage,
and has had another long talk with the
president-eIect today. Mr.. Wilson,
when asked this evening what was the
prospect of a silver bill passing both
houses Of congress before the end of the
present session, said:
"The chance OF bill passing the
house depends largely upon the commit
tee

ton Thursday. If tie resolution merely
brings up the silver bill for discussion
nothing will be accomplished, as but

of the session. If the committee reports

decides to vote on the measure. | am
satisfied that the bill will pass the
house. In the senate. however, there
is a sufficient minority against the re-
peal of the Sherman law to absolutely
prevent the passage of bill at this seS-
SION"
You do not consider the outlook
very encouraging for bill reaching the
president before March 4, then?"
mo, the time is too short, in my opin-
ion, for the repeal of the silver law at
the present session."
"DO you believe that the law would
be repealed if it were brought to vote
i'll both hOuses?"
Yes; if a straight vote could be OBJ
TUNED, the law would be repealed at
once but, with the determined minor
ity, there is little hope of straight
vote, and therefore little hope of a
change in the silver legislation at pres
ent."
Mr.. Wilson declined to discuss cabi-
net possibilities. He will leave here on
the morning express and will reach
Washington about l O'Clock tomorrow.
Mr.. Cleveland remained quietly at his
cottage all day. Don NJ. Dickinson was
his guest over Sunday. Aside from
Mr.. Wilson his only caller was Mr..
Nathan Straus, who is the principal
owner of the Lakewood hotel Mr..
Cleveland announced this evening that
he will remain here all OF the coming

ONLY TWO SELECTED.
CieVeland's Cabinet is Still FaI
From Complete.

From Complete.
New YORK, Feb. 5.-It is the general
Impression among politicians that Mr..
Cleveland has decided upon only two
members of his cabinet. They know
that Mr.. Carlisle is to be secretary of
the treasury, and Daniel S. Lamont
either secretary Of war or secretary of
the navy, but they are mysufed as TO
the other men who are to have port
folios. The belief is growing that
James c. Carter, II this city, is now the
choice Of Mr.. CleCel nd for secretary of
state, and, in tie event II his appoint
ment, it is said Judge w. Q. Gresham is
likely to have his place as attorney in
Ehe Behring sea controversy. There is
good deal of discussion over Judge
Gresham, whose appointment to Il cab
met office would be received with dis
favor by many Democrats. 1t Is limited
that Mir. Cleveland has 4lrealy offered
Judge Gresham an Office, and Vat what
PVer was offered he declined, Henry
Willard may be in the eabin.'G as secre-
Eary of the interior, but his Gppo; ;ntnent
would create considerable t-lk by his
railroad connections. EX-SsGretary of

spoken of for cauln.t clrtfoiO. Mr..
Cleveland would Like - have him for

ney accepts anything, II VIII probably

likely be the New e.. .giand representa-
tive in the cabinet t.,
