PIERRE, s. D.. Feb 2i.-The supreme
court today handed down two opinions
of general Importance. One was the
case where Levi McGee was trying to
secure a standing at court to contest the
seat of Judge Gardner, judge of the
seventh circuit. The court denied the
writ. and upheld the state canvassing
board in refusing to canvass the vote of
McGee OH the ground that there was no
law for the election OF circuit judges,
and tee appointment by the govern or
would hold until a successor was elect
ed by a law yet to be enacted. The other
opinion was in response to a request
of the legislature for an opinion OH the
apportionment bill passed two years
ago by less than constitutional major
ity. The court held that it could not
give an opinion unless the validity Of
some law was attacked. This leaves the
mooted question still open.

TREASURY SITUATION.

Yesterday.
WASHINGTON. Feb. THE treasury
situation shows decided improvement
today. The advIces received show that
the exports of gold at New York for to-
morrow will reach only 100000, where
it was expected a million would be re-
uuired to meet the demands for foreign
shipment. This, taken in connection
with the fact that in face OF the
gold agitation, the government had in
creased its gold holding by Sl45,0 in
spired confidence, and led to the belief
among the treasury officials that the
tide had been changed. With the $780,
900 gold to he exported tomorrow, sub
tracted from the free gold held in the
treasury, a net balance will be left of
more thar S3,S0O,OO0. The receipts also
show an increase over expenditures,
aud the close of the month will show
the ledger almost balanced, despite the
fact that more than $l4,000,000 have
been required for pension payments.

work that the daring robbery was COM

He had been TO two establishments and
from one he had collected SO, while from
the other he had received $40, all of which
was in a russet leather handbag. Just as
he was stepping into the doorway he was
confronted by two men, who pushed him
into the doorway. One OF the fellows
drew revolver, and with the butt of it
struck Chadbourne on the right hand.
The plucky lad refused TO give up the
satchel without struggle. and then the
man who held the revolver pointed it at
the head of the lad. Chadbourne became
scared and released his hold on the bag.
which the men took and ran away with.

Democrats by Manipulation Seeking 10
Control State Senate.
Troy, N. Y, Nov. a. - Immediately
after election day, when it was apparent
that the Republicans controlled % of the
30 senators, conference took place In AL
baDy which was attended by the two
United States senators, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Sheshan and two or three members
of the Democratic state committee. The
proposition was then submitted that by
proper manipulation the senate could be
thrown to the Democrats
As the plan unfolded il was developed
Fhat two of the Kings county senators
Owens and Bradley could be persuaded
10 act as independents and refuse to attend
The caucuses of either party, that one of
The Erie county men might be induced to
follow the same policy, and that before
Jan. l some other Republican senator
could be captured.
A number OF leading cities of the state
will appeal TO the incoming legislature for
restoration of the charters held by them
before the Sheehnns. McLaughlins. and
Others OF their class undertook To amend
them, that the Democratic bosses might
exercise more power and control more
patronage.
1t would seem that governor Flower can
hardly do less than sign every bin of this
character which the legislature sends TO
him. Should he refuse 10 do so, opposition
will not only be stimulated against him in
these cities. but throughout the state, and
imperil whatever chances he may have
for denomination aud election.
At the same time it can readily be seen
how the machine could be strengthened
and the governor protected were a Demo-
cratic senate TO act as buffer or as an alb
sorber, aud intercept and destroy all bills
of this character which the assembly
might pass.
IL is not surprising, therefore, that the
Democratic leaders are in state of mind
over the political future, and are devising
pitfalls by which they can secure a fight
Ing chance TO control the upper branch of
the legislature.
Let sufficient number of Republican
senator's abstain from attending the first
session, thus giving the lieutenant COVER
nor the casting vote, and the Democrats
will speedily grasp the opportunity to or
ganize the bodies and appoint the COM
mittees
IT is known that several letters have
been written to Republican leaders of
prominence in New York, outlining this
policy OF the Democrats.

of operations for Mr.. Montgomery to
tackle, as about all the clothing shipped
here comes from London by way of Liver

from there, too.
1t didn't take long to find that a gang Of
smugglers were working the Allen.State

bail, which he couldn't give, and was sent
to Ludlow street Jail.
Ross was arrested in his quarters on the
steamship. which were searched, and the
two packages found. He broke down and
made a sworn confession. In ii he said
that he was bringing packages TO this
country for II. Kean, a tailor at ia High,
Holborp, London, He said he got 10 shil-
lings for each package and 25 shiliings for
two large packages. The packages were
delivered to him by the English Parcel Ex-
press company of Glasgow
He admitted other cases of bringing in
packages, but denied any knowledge Of
their content. 1t is said that he impli-
Gated several other employees of the line,
and that wholesale arrests will follow.
