The North Dakota Railroad Commission
Want More Power.

The North Dakota Railroad Commission
Want More Power.
BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 12.-In their
report to the governor the late railroad
commission recommends some radical
changes. They claim that several acts
passed by the last legislature were i'm
practicable because power was not con.
fered upon the commission to enforce
them, and say that when the enforce
ment Of q railroad law Is left
to the county authorities, 1t is useless to
expect them to be effectual, because q
sheriff or county attorney is not going
to involve his county in expensive hti-
CATION with wealthy railroad COM
pany. They say the coal rate law was
declared unconstitutional by the attor-
ney general; the law to compel daily
train service was farce, leaving it to
the roads themselves to determine
whether daily service was necessary,
and the "Y" law was dead letter be-
cause nobody was empowered to en-
force Ii.
The commission strongly urges the
necessity of change in the state con-
stitution to make the board more of %
nermanant body.

A GREAT CONSPIRACY
This Is What the South Dakota EN-.
bezzlement Is Now Said
TO Be.
WHAT THE SCHEME WAS
Taylors Friends Claim the State Win
Not Lose Anything -Bondsmen
Secured.

PIERRE, s. D., Jan. 12.--Later de-
velopments indicate that there was o
large sized conspiracy in the fight of
Treasurer Taylor and the loss 10 the
state Of $S50, 900. Facts have come into
the possession Of the state officials
which make them reasonably certain
that Taylor and certain confederates
deliberately went to work. after IL be-
came evident that he could not sqsare
his accounts. to hold the state up and
compel a. compromise, by which he
should be deprived from penalty and
his bondsmen should be protected
from loss. The state was i'm o hard
place financially. Ii not cent had
been lost there would have been q de-
felt on the first day Of next July OF
fully 800, 900, due to over appropria-
tians by the Last legislature, and TO
the slow payment of taxes ON account
Of the short crop Of the year.
The Lipait or Taxation
has been reached and the limit Of in-
tebtedness has been passed for some
time. There were due on Jan. $780,
900 worth of funding warrants held by
Eastern parties. There was due con-
siderable sum ON the coupon bonds,
while the sinking fund was preparing
to take up the semi-annual interest TO
the amount OF $40, 900. The Legislature
was in session and immediate calls
would be made ON the treasury for at
least $500, 900. OF course the treasurer
knew all this.
It ID believed by the authorities, on
substantial evidence. that realizing
that he would be short 800, 600 when
the transfer was to be made ON the
6th. he consulted with some OF his
friends and hackers and they decided
that tfxe best thing toetfo was
seise All the Money in the Treasury
and put 1T in place of hiding, where
it could be gotten at when desired.
Then when the default was discovered
the state would be found bankrupt. 1t
could not pay its obligations, and, hav-
ing exceeded its limit of debt, could
not borrow Were it to sue on the
bonds of the treasurer two years or
more would elapse before any money
could be recovered, and during that
time the credit of South Dakota would
sink very low. The parties to the plan
concluded that rather than let this
come to pass the state officers would do
almost anything within reason. Then
the plan was TO come forward, through
an agent, and propose to pay back TO
the state the $780, QUO which the trea-
surer had carried off ON condition that
the bond men should be released and
that TAILOR shau.d be relieved from
turtheg prosecution.

Republican congressman Do Not Be
lieye Great Britain Should Build
One to Hawaii.
1T WOULD NOT BE PoLITIC.
This Government Should, However,
Get to Work and Build
One for Itself.

WASHINGTON. Jan. l2.--The recon-
mendation made by President Cleve-i
land that the United States give les
consent 10 the construction OF . cable
TO Hawaii by Great Britain does not
find favor among the Republicans of
the house. Representative Hitt OF
Illinois, who is recognized as the Re-
publican leader In the house on foreign
affairs, said that he fully agreed with
the president that the Hawaiian islands
should have the benefits OF telegraphic
communication with the world at
large, but was strongly opposed TO
putting their cable facilities nndsr con.
troll OF any government but the United
States. In the Fifty first congress Mr..
Hit offered an amendment TO the Dip
lomatic and consular appropriation bill
Providing For Survey
Of q feasible route for cable between
Hawaii and San Francisco, and for the
preliminary steps toward the organiza-
tion Of company. On the ground Of
economy, the proposition was defeated
by small majority. the attendance
being limited. Mr. Hitt is still in favor
of subsidy for Hawaiian cable.
''The United States, !" he says, s'con-
trolls most of the commerce with the
islands, and should control amy cable
company that is to be under govern
ment domination. With q British
cable this government would be under
great disadvantage in case of war or
grave international difficulties. Doubt
less, Americans would be free to use
the cable for commercial purposes, but
IL is doubtful whether we would be
permitted to send messages in cipher
and &eaty arrangements would be inns
practicable by which this government
wouid have the privileges OF commpni-
cation Tor naval purposes in the time.
OF war or other troubles.
As mn IlIustratIon.
Great Britain maintains q cable be-
tween Bermuda and Nova Scotia,
which does not begin to pay for its
maintenance, he said. by way of illus
tration. Bermuda is great strate-
.gical point, with powerful fortress
Americans can order onions by that
cable, but Secretary Herbert could not
request one of our ships to put dyna-
mite on British vessel and blow her
mp, in the event such proceeding was
deemed advisable. "
This was, of course, said to illustrate
his point. Had there been cable COM
munication with the United States the
complications in Hawaii of the past
two years would have been greatly
simplified and partly averted, Mr.. Hit
says. He declares II to be doubtful
form of economy to expend $25. 900, 900
annually for the maintenance of navy

penditures for the control of vessels, by
which they could be effectually handled
