NEW YORK special: A capitalist
who owns good deal of land In the
south says, in explanation of the de-
creased earnings of some of the roads:
Formerly the southern farmer used
to obtain his supplies almost entirely
from the northwest. Then the bad
times in the south came along and the
southern farmer had no credit and
had to start in to raise his own sup
plies. At the same time he began
economizing and putting his affairs
into shape. But now when he has u
little money on hand he is not sending
to the northwest for his supplies, but
continues raising them at home. The
railroads have lost good deal of traf-
fic from this source that they will not
get back again.

with the power conferred upon him by his
letter Of appointment and such other au-
thorities US were given him." The chair
then laid before the Senate the resolution
Of HQar, introduced last week, asking the
Secretary of the Treasury to report the
amount OF money paid Blount and by what
authority. After some debate 1t was re-
ferred to the Commmittee ON Foreign AZ
fairs. The committee then went into ex-
ecutive session OH the Hornblower report.
Senator Turple presented a resolution dee
claring the project OF annexation oof Ha-
wall inexpedient and should be no further
considered, and that 1t is of the highest i'm
sernationai interest that the Government
Ut Hawaii be allowed to pursue its own line
Of policy. The resolution went over till to-
morrow.
The House on the 9th opened with a
small attendance. After routine business
the House went into Committee Of the
Whole on the tariff hill, and MIR. Wilson re-
sumed his speech. His remarks were often
Interrupted by Democratic applause, but
otherwise lie was allowed to proceed until
he created something Of q stir when he re-
ferred to the fact that the protests against
the pending bill were largely inspired by
the power OF capital. which was directed
to force and frighten employees to sustain
the protected industries.
At 1880 o'clock, after spending the session
up to that time in routine business, the,
Senate went into executive session. sena-
tor Chandler had tried unsuccessfully to-
get up to his Hawaiian resolution, and
Senator Gray had given notice that he
would call up the federal elections bill this
afternoon. At $3.50 o'clock the doors were
reopened and the Senate took up the fed
eral elections bill, but no one being ready
to speak on it. it went over until next week
and the Senate adjourned. It is UNDER
stood that the Hornblower nomination did
not come up in executive session.
Mr.. Boutelle on the 10Th again tried to
secure consideration OF his Hawaiian reso-
lutian in the House. which was reported by
the Naval Affairs Committee and laid on
the table. but was Iaally overruled by the
Speaker. At the night session of the
House Snodgrass, Mahon and Curtis were

An Important Liquor Decision.

A DECISION has just been made by
Judge Jones, the new Judge of the Sec
ond Judicial Circuit, which will prove
q serious handicap to the cause of pro-
hibition in this state. The decision
was in the case of NJ. E. Collins, a
druggist of Dell Rapids, who had been
selling Intoxicating liquors without u
permit. His place was closed about
two weeks ago on an injunction issued
by the retiring Judge, F. r. Aikens.
A motion was made to have the iniunc-
tion vacated under the proviso of sec
tion IL, which provides that the owner
can secure the vacation of an action by
putting up bond of $500 that the nut
sance will be abated for one year.
Judge Jones signed an order in accord
ance with the motion. Under this rul-
Ing the owner of the building, even
If he be the seller, can escape the PEN
atty OF having his building closed for a
year by putting up bond to have the
nuisance abated for u year.

G. Fuller and Judge A. w. Campbell
were dark horses. Since the conven-
tion MIR. Kennedy has left the state.
but the rest of the parties named will
probably be brought out as cand idates
for appointment.
Although the appointment made by
the Governor will hold for les,; than
one year, the prestige then secured
will be a strong pull for the nomina-

DGOv. Sheldon has not as yet given
