Supreme and Circ Ilt Judyss.

PIERRE, 5. d., Jan. 27.--One of the
important questions before the legisla-
ture touches the supreme and circuit
judges. Bills have been introduced in
both houses and reported favorably in
the senate. raising the pay of supreme
judges to $4,000 and circuit judges to
So, 500 and as there is small If any op-
position they will undoubtedly pass
both houses. There has also been a
determin d effort to bring the judicial
elections on the same day with general
elections and thus have another
officer to use in making political
deals. A number of gentlemen,
closely associated with present judges
have been here laboring earnestly for
this scheme. 1t would il carried,
lengthen the terms of the judges full
year But the scheme is dead. A sub
committee of the senate Judiciary com
mittee has reported that the delay is
unconstitutional, that as the constltu-
ton forbids the longthcning or shorten
ing of the term more than six months,
the bill could not stand This sub
committee reports fayoring the hold
ing of the election in November, 1898.
and the seating of the ju iges in July,
1894. The full committee will undoubt-
edly agree, and the public will rejoice
that the judiciary is to be kept as far
as possible from the smireh of politics.

death was due to sheer exhaustion. He
was unwilling to make a statement re-
garding the exact disease of Mr., Blaine
until he had received the consent of the
family. He will make statement to
the public. This will probably bc pre-
pared after a meeting of the doctors at
/ o'clock. All the immediate members
of the family and Miss Dodge were at
the bedside when the end came.
The president received warning of
Mr.. Blaine's approaching end through
United Press bulletin which informed
him that Mr.. Blaine could not live
through the day He Immediately had
the substance of the dispatch tele-
graphed over the department wire to
the various cabinet officers. 1t
was n few minutes later only
that the operator at the white house
received another message addressed TO
the president announcing: "Blainc is
dead" The cabinet was Immediately
notified and came to the cabinet meet
ing at the usual hour fully prepared.
Secretary John w. Foster, Mr..
Blaine's successor to the portfolio of
state. was about TO start for
Watertown, n. Y, where he and Mrs.
Foster had planned to spend week,
when news of the cX-secretary's death
was received Mt the department. He
postponed his trip and issued an order
closing the department of state today.

KILLING OF FRANK RILEY.
Report OF tn, Seorstarj Rslatve to ths
Murder Sent to ths Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.--In response tc
resolution the president sent to tn,
senate yesterday the report of the sec
retary of state relative to the alleged
killing of Frank +. Riley, of the United
States, an American sailor of the New,
ark in Genoa, Italy, in September last
The papers consist of three letters:--
Mr.. Aldrich to Mr.. Foster, Mr.. Whar,
ton to Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. White,
house, of the United States legation al
Rome To Mr.. Wharton. 1t appears from
this correspondence that Riley, early
in the morning of September wa,
murdered by the keeper of small
hotel at Genoa, Italy, where he and
some shipmates of the Newark had ap.
piled for lodging. Riley's mother filed
a claim for 1926, 900 damages, but in re.
sponse to Mr.. Aldrich's letter Mr..
Wharton replied that the facts of the
case rs stated by him were not of q
character to warrant diplomatic inter,
vention. The correspondence ends
with the letter of Mr.. Whitehouse, who
simply states that the king of Italy ex.
pressed deep regret that the visit OF
the United States ships should have
been marred by the murder of one OF
the men.

remember we'll a meeting in Hart
ford, Conn.,, when, soon after the gem
eral had commenced speaking. a tipsy
individual cred out in n loud voice:
'Gen. Butler, tell us something about
those spoons You stole in New York" /"
The general replied by saying he would
tell him all about 1t when he got
through, and went on with his speech.
When he ceased speaking and was
gathering up his notes and papers pre-
paratory to leaving the stand with

the same voice was heard again aud in a
very peremptory tone demanded an cx-
PLANTATION as to those ''stolen spoons
s.Ah. yes" responded the general.

Then in his most persuasive tones he
innoccntly inquired: Are you re-

general, ''when stole those spoons, -

that hall. Tho ''howls Of laughter" In
thiscase were evidently on the generals

Six Months for a Divorces.

PIERRE, s. d., Jan. 26.-The divorce
question Is settled SO far as this legisla-
ture is concerned. The term of resi-
dence will be heightened to SIX months
and otherwise the law will remain un-
changed. This is the result of IL g
compromise. When the legislature
first assembled. little notice was taken
of this matter. The newspapers had
talked more or less of it, but the mem
bers seemed TO regard Ii as of no inn
mediate Importance and very few had
formed definite notions. Then Bishop
Hare began his crusade. He came to
Pierre, made several addresses, talked
with large number of members and
presented strong petition. These ef-
forts stirred up much interest and crea-
ted considerable feeling for lengthening
OF the residence To one year. On the
other hand the members from the
towns, particularly those which ba, Q
derived a considerable income from thiA
business, were strongly opposed to any
change in the law. But instead of malS-
ing fight on the question all sides
united in bill as above and that bill
passed the house by unanimous vote.
That IL will pass the senate in the same
way is agreed upon. And that is all
the change which will be made. The
lawyers are satisfied with the present
procedure and while Bishop Hare
strongly urged some changes nothing
Is likely to come of IL.

The Worlds Ear Bill.

PIERRE, S. d.. Jan. 23.-The senate
held a short session this afternoon and
transacted routine business. A large
number of new bills were introduced,
but none Of great Importance.
When the house reconvenes il is ex-
pected the work of the session will be
pushed rapidly. business has been
badly delayed so far by the dilatoriness
of the printers in preparing bills
During the past few days there has
been considerable agitation for a joint
session of the house and senate TO con-
slider the worlds fair appropriation
and there is now little question that
the scheme will materialize on We'd
reSday. The members of the house
have nearly all been home this week,
pre- unably consulting their constitu-
ents and all parties will be ready to
vote finally on their return. Those in
charge of the bill are ready il SIS, 200
