TORRENS LAND BILL.
Will Largely Do Away With Bro
ISers' Fees.

CHICAGO, Nov 6.-The Torrens
land bill has been carried by a ma
iority in the county of 75,257. The vote
in the city for it was 1913 and against
only 1887 The country towns were
fully as strong for the measure.
Louis A. Seeberger of, the. real estate
board commission, which was charged
with the campaign for the enactment
of the law and its submission to the
people, was enthusiastic over the vic
tory.
1t was the greatest fight the board
ever made and we think that it has
accomplished result which will be
of the greatest benefit to the whole
county. In effect this law puts realty
in the category of quick assets where
by it has been an exceed
ingly slow asset in the past,
The law does away with all
examinations of titles. and, as conse-
quence, brokerage will fall considera-
bly,. Thus the borrower will be bene-
! flied in a large measure, and the poor
man who is compelled to mortgage his
property will derive the largest posi-
BILE cash loan instead of having to frit-
ter away a good deal of it in fees and
| commissions.
Another benefit of the new law is
that an indemnity fund is created out
of tax of one-tenth of one per cent
on the value of property certified for
! the first time. This fund is held for
| the protection of innocent persons who
! suffer loss under the operation of the
law. In Austria during fifteen years
S1,OO0,O0O was collected in such an in
demnity fund and not a single assault
on it was successful. Right to the
benefits of such fund, of course, is
settled in the courts. The law is in
operation in some of the foreign coun-
tries. and in every case where tried ii
has proved satisfactory to the people.
1t will be so here"

result cannot yet be told. In the
smaller precincts Roberts makes great
gains as the returns come in. al

secured it seems certain that fifty peo-
pie in all were in the collapsed section.
There are still twenty seven tlnaccounted
for, and it is reasonable to presume that
most of them are among the dead
At every hour reports are received of
others who are missing and whose rela-
tives and friends have been unable to
find any trace of them. Two of the injured
who are in the hospital will probably
not recover
OF those who are now in the ruins
it is impossible that any will be rescued
alive. Those who were not killed out
right have undoubtedly persisted, either
from suffocation or exhaustion. The
only hope is that some of those who are
reported missing may be safe with
friends.

The work of removing the debris and
searching for the bodies is going on all

task is big one.
Carelessness is undoubtedly the cause
of the disaster. but where the response
bility rests is as yet problematical-
Thomas Thomson, the engineer, was
painfully injured. He said he could as
sign no reason for the explosion.
City Boiler Inspector McGregor says
he inspected the boilers last August and
had found them up to the requirements.
Some of the employees in the building
assert that the boilers were old and
known to be unsafe.
Still others have theory that the eX-
plosion was caused by chemicals owned
basement Another circumstance is also
considered significant, namely that car
penters were engaged in snoring up the
floor of the second story directly over
the boilers in order to sustain the weight
of heavy machine which had been
placed in Dunlap's machine shop. The
men who were az work ON this job Were
! burned in the ruins.

Butler and an undertaken in the employ
of Chest Eros, against undertaken Frank

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-As a result
of the latest election returns, the Re
publicans gain five United States sena-
tors. two from Utah and one each from
Kentucky, Ohio and Maryland. and
the Democrats lose three senators one
each from Maryland, Kentucky and
Ohio None of these changes become
effective, however, until March 4, 1897,
except in the case of the two Utah
senators who will take their seats as
soon as chosen. Thereafter, the
numerical strength in the Senate will
be as follows: Republicans. "A: Demo-
Gratis. 80; POpulists, 6; vacant Oela-
ware 1. Total IS. If the Delaware
vacancy is filled by Republican. it
will give a Republican majority in the

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-The Daily News
Washington special says: President
Cleveland is charging none of the re-
suits of yesterdays election to his ad-
ministration. On the contrary, he is
taking quiet smile over certain fea-
lures of the returns. Senator German
declares that President Cleveland's
personal followers contributed to the
success of Lowndes. The administra-
ton Democrats appear to be willing to
assume the responsibility as another
achievement for reform. There seems
to be no doubt that they expected and
desired the defeat of Germans ticket
The president and every member of
his cabinet took deep interest in the
cause of Campbell in Ohio, and express
regret at his defeat.
The helpless condition presented by
the Kentucky Democracy is regarded
as a rebuke to the free silver Demo-
Gratis and the president and Secretary
Carlisle have confidently expected the
defeat of Hardin and Blackburn, or
their elections by majorities so mea-
ger as to amount practically to defeat.

KAYSVILI&G Nov. 6.-The Demo-
Gratis achieved a magnificent victory
yesterday in Kaysville and through

every precinct are that both parties
were in earnest, and the result may

many years to come. Those who have

Republicans find now that they can
not deliver the goods, and they are
sick.
The day in Kaysville was quiet.
There were no challenges. Betting

tent. though a, few wagers were won
on the municipal election. 1t was on
the city ticket that the warmest fight

their plans carefully to capture the
offices Of recorder, treasurer and
marshal. and apparently they were
confident of winning at least some of
these. But the count opened their
eyes The entire Democratic city

ranging from twenty-siX to forty

Of his state for the presidency and his
friends claim that he Will have the
support of. the southern Republicans
1t is a significant fact that the friends
of Governor Morton, as well as the
political champions Of Governor Nc
Kinley have all been in constant cor
respOndence with the friends Of Colonel
Bradley and have urged them to push
his claims for the second place on the
ticket. Colonel Bradley has heretofore
refused to discuss the matter, but to-
night it is announced by Mr.. Walker
Forester secretary of Colonel Bradley's
campaign committee, and managing
editor of the Commercial, the RepUbli-
can organ Of the state, that Colonel
Bradley's claims for national recogDi-

Congress having the deciding votes in
case the election of president should

Dudley declared that Kentucky would
be the pivotal state in '96, and that
| Colonel Bradley would be the most
prominent figure in national politics.
/ The friends of Governor Morton are
urging the Bradley people to support
/ the New York man on the ground that
the ratio geographical positions of New
/ York and Kentucky would render Nor
to1's nomination for president almost
declsively in favor of Bradley's nominal

that Mckinley and Bradley would make
/ the strongest ticket that could be put
up because of the personal magnetism
of the two men and the prestige they
enjoy of having won many gallant vic
tories 1t is also urged in favor of the
Ohio-Kentucky combination that it
would thus divest the ticket OF
extreme tendencies on either the eur
rency or tariff question, both men
representing states in which manufac-
turing and agricultural interests are
of nearly equal Importance and where

tive.
Colonel Bradley will come to Louis

Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1895-12-13

AN apparently authoritative report
comes from Governor Morton's home at
Albany that he will soon remove all
question as to his position in the presi-
dency campaign, by making a distinct
avowal as a candidate. Governor Nor
ton will have a strong following at the
national convention, although he will be
but one of five prominent republicans, of
which number four are avowed presi-
Dental candidates, Mckinley, Reed, AL
lison and Morton, and the other, Ben
jamin Harrison, at least a receptive can
didate. This early activity and plleni-
tude of candidates would indicate that
republican leaders feel fairly certain of
success in '96, while the lack Of presi-
dental enthusiasm on the part of the
democrats indicates that the party lead
ers are not sanguine Of the result of next
years contest.

The question of medical expert testi-
mony is to be met in New York state by
a measure to be introduced into the
legislature during the coming session.
The bill will lodge the right to give ex-
pert medical testimony in the courts Of
the state in a n%on-partisan board APP
pointed by the governor, subject to the
approval of the senate. The province of
this board will be to act as instructors
and advisors to the courts. It will be large
enough to provide amply for all Grim
inal cases, and the quorum will be small
enough to allow sections of the board to
act in various localities. The members
will be chosen from the ranks of the
most expert, and in ase of disagreement
of one of the subdivisions of the board,
the whole body may be called upon for
a decision.

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY DEC Is 1895

as compared with 21,744, in 1893. The
convictions during the year are shown
to have been sixty per cent Of the whole
number, and in government civil cases
the percentage of judgments in favor Of
the United States was sixty-two, as COM
pared with forty-nine in 1894 and forty
seven in 1898. The expenses of the
federal courts have steadily increased
from s3,864,89S in 1888 to S ,629,223 in
1895. This is accounted for in part by
the fact that since 1885 the number of
places of holding federal court has in
creased from 1876 to 227. The attorney
general calls special attention to the fee
system in federal courts and says that
excessive and illegal charges can in some
measures be avoided by watchfulness
and laborious investigation, but arrests
and prosecutions on frivolous charges
and fimsy proof, to which a part of the
increasing expenses Of the federal courts
are due, cannot be prevented by the de-
partment of justice. This, he says, can
be accomplished only by abolishing the
system. And the attorney general APP
pears to be in favor of this plan. He
would also reduce the number of court
commissioners, and give theminal iuris-
diction in petty cases.
