The remains OF Jim Wah Lee, a Hot
Springs Chinaman, who died at the
Soldiers home, where he worked, were
brought TO Deadwood last week and
buried with all the pomp and ceremony
attending the Chinese Masonic order he
was a member OF in life. The members
o; his lodge, clothed in white, flowing
garments, followed the hearse, and fol-
loving the lodge were two carriages of
Chinese ladies and bringing up the rear
were two carriages containing food for
the departed spirit Of the dead. On the
hearse sat a Chinaman distributing
small slips Of paper to attract the notice
of the devil, who would stop and read
what was written upon them, thus Civ
ing the departed a chance to reach the
Celestial heaven" before the devil
caught him. The Deadwood band led
the procession.

LITTLE FALLS, Mimi. Dec, 4.-The
dead body of Albert r. Kosanke was
found in the workroom Of his harness
shop, in this city, shortly before
His mouth was gagged with a handker-
chief, his skull crushed by a bludgeon
that lay near him covered with blood,
and his throat tightly tied with q rope.
He sleeps in his shop, and his absence
from his boarding place did not attract
notice. His shop was not open in the
morning, and it was late In the after
noon when a man happened to discover
the
Ghastly Remains
stretched upon the floor in a large pool
of blood. There Is yet no trace as to
the perpetrator Of the crime. Kosanke
was a man of about 30 years of age and
moved from st. Paul to this place last
summer and opened "a harness shop.
His watch was taken. the money drawer
robbed and his jacket pockets emptied.
From the condition of the body it seems
that he must haze been killed late al

Congress meets to day in regular ses-
sion which promises to be not uninter-
esting. Not since the time OF Buchanan
has business been so thoroughly demon
allied, suffering and idleness so wide
spread, ard the nations honor so igno-
minuously furnished by the actions OF an
administration and the mistrust of a
congress. The people have spoken at
the polls, the destitute are clamoring for
work and bread at the closed factory
doors, and the Indignation OF a dishonor'
ed people has risen from every state in
the union, all a fair warning to the body
which takes It's seat to-day. Will they
be equal to the emergency and give the
people relief? What OF hope will be held
out by the administration will appear in
the presidents message to morrow.

Extracts From the Report of Chief In
speetor Clausen.

spector Clausen.
ST.apAUL, Dec. 4.-The annual report
of the grain inspection department of the
railroad and warehouse commission has
just been completed. The report is of
unusual interest, as it embodies some re-
suits of the working of the grain law of
1898. Mr.. Clausen refers to the opera
ton of the law as wholly beneficial.
The report embraces the trans actions of
the department for the year ending Aug.
81, 1893.
The receipts of grain, which have been
subject to inspection during the season
Just closed, have been as follows: At
Minneapolis, 100, 165 cars of wheat, A, 1879
cars of corn, 4,639 cars of oats, 552 cars
of rye, 3,949 cars of barley, 1,345 cars of
fax; total, 1929 cars. At Duluth. 65,-
TAI cars of wheat, 1913 cars of corr
235 cars Of oats, 1871 cars of rye, 146 cars
of barley, $40 cars of fax; total, 81, 325
cars. At st. Paul, 900 cars of wheat.
251 cars of corn, 922 cars of oats, s cars
of rye, 100 carr of barley. 229 cars of
fax; total, $500 cars. At st. Cloud,
1,24l cars of wheat, making a grand
total of 186, 345 cars of all kinds of grain
or 123, f07 $50 bushels.
AT the beginning of the last crop year
the inspection fees were reduced to ID
cents per ear, and that fact, in connec.
ton with the small business of the year,
has resulted in a deficit. The inspector
recommends that the inspection rates bs
raised to the old basis.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 30
a iirst-class political sensation in
the midst of the quiet enjoyments
of the holidays is something that
Washington seldom gets, but it
had it this week; and. notwith-
standing the absence of many of
those whose presence would have
added to its intensity it was, and
is yet, quite exciting enough for
those who take pleasure in politi-
cal tlurries, and most men do. Al
though twas generally known that
Mr.. Cleveland was opposed to the
election of Mr.. Murphy, the Hill
Tammany candidate for United
States senator from New York, it
was supposed that his election was
n sure thing and that Mr.. Cleve-
land would consider it good policy
to keep his hands off. The explo-
sion of a dynamite bomb on n
crowded thoroughfare would not,
therefore, have created more ex-
element among the passersby than
Mr.. Cleveland's newspaper inter-
view did among the politicians
when it was received here.
The hat-footed stand Mr.. Cleve-
land takes in that interview against
the election of Murphy to the sem
ate is regarded here as n direct
challenge To Senator Hill and
Tammany for fight to the death.
Opinion differs as to whether it
will elect or defeat Murphy. Some
say that the Democratic members
of the New York Legislature will
accept it rs notice that vote for
Murphy will shut them out from
the federal flesh pots and that
enough of them will desert Muir
ply to bring about his defeat
Others that it will be regarded as
an attempt on the part of Mr.,
Cleveland to interfere with state
politics and will cause Murphy to
be elected To certainty, The
last clinch their arguments by cit
ing the DISASTROUS result of Presi-
dent Arthur's attempt to make
Folger governor of New York.
its result may be its pro-
at this time shows that
Mr.. Cleveland is not afraid of Sem
tor Hill and Tammany.
Representative Holman, who il
known to congressional fame as
"the great objector" and as "the
watch dog of the treasury" is II
firm believer in the ultimate COM
union of the entire Amer
can continent. What he means by
union is that the trade
between every nation in America
should be as free as that which
now exists between the states of
our union, and that a uniform tar
III upon articles from other parts
Of the world should be adopted by
all of the American nations. He
predicts that the idea will be- car
ried out within the next thirty
years in its entirety and that one
tariff will be- in effect from Alaska

le can sec no good reason why
canada and Mexico should not
low have such commercial union
With the United States. Mr.. Hol-
mans oninions are always entitled II

The house ways and means COM

that canvass he has made of the
house and senate shows that the
bill will pass, but Others say that
it will be impossible To get the bill
through the senate, unless il be-
amended so as to put tax on for
eign sugar. There is an impression,
however, that if the bill gets to the
senate number of Republican
senator's who supported the bounty
clause of the Mckinley tariff bill
under compulsion will gladly vote
for its repeal as matter of princi-
pie. The two Louisiana senators
and Senator PETER are expected to
vote against repeal, unless their
sugar raising constituents are pro-
tected by tax on foreign sugar,
but no case is recalled of congress
having restored the tax on an arti-
Gle after having once taken it off,
