New York Chamber of Commerce
Polls the Present Congress
on Silver.
The House Has a Big Majority
Against the White Metal,
It Is Said.
In The Senate the Friends of Sill
YER Are in a Slight
Minority.

=. s. = + :
f ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-The Republics
New York correspondent says:
There is no possibility of free coin
age bill passing either the senate OF
house of the new congress. a commit
tee of the chamber of commerce has
made i'll the last six weeks a careful can
kyass of senators and representatives,
with results gratifying to the friends Of
sound money.
The sound money committee of the
Echamber of commerce has more than
20 members, all representative business
men of New York. The executive com
lnittee, which has been in charge Of the
poll, is composed Of nine members, Gus
tav H. Schwab, chairman; David
III. Houghtaling, Henry Hentz,
Joseph G. Hendrix, Charles S.
Fairchild, William j. Schieffelin,
Louis Windmuller and Malcolm Gra-
ham. In the absence of Mr.. Schwab in
Europe, ex-Congressman Joseph c..
Hendrix, president Of the Union Ma
tional bank, who was active in con-
gress in bringing about the repeal Of the
Sherman silver law, has been acting as
chairman.
According to the executive commit
tees canvass, the house will have 216
sound money men, SO pronounced free
silver men, and 50 doubtful. The free
silver men are divided among the par
ties, 80 being accredited Republicans, 81
Democrats. and Populists.
In the Upper House.
The poll of the senate shows 43 votes
against free coinage. In addition to
this there are six senators, Bacon,
Baker, Gafery, Mcbride, Martin and
Wilson, whose position is somewhat i'll
doubt, but who are believed to be not
unfavorable to sound money. The sill
yer men can muster only 80 votes, but
this number will doubtless be increased
by two znen when Utah comes into full
statehood.
According to the report of the chamber
of commerce committee there will be 80
free silver men in the senate. Utah, of
course, may add two, but against these
there will probably be lapses from the
ranks. Senator Mills of Texas, who was
supposed to be the Achilles, of the sill
verites, has come out ON the. sound
side, and other desertions are ex-
pected.
The Missouri delegation is composed
of ten Republicans and five Democrats
The former are nearly all new men, and
our best advioes are that they are, with
the exception of Burton, gold men. Of
the five Democrats, tilree-Messrs. Hall,
Cobb and Tarsney = are for sound
money, while Dockery and De Almond
are for free silver The number Of fol-
lowers of the white metal in Missouri,
therefore, is only three.

ROACH HAS NONE.
North Dakota's Junior Senator Isn't
Long or Legislation.


Long on Legislation.
Senator Roach, among many other
prominent members of both houses of
congress, was recently asked by the Chi
cago Record if he had in mind legisla-
ton Of Importance to present at the
coming session of congress; also to fore
cast what s'big" things the session will
accomplish. To these he replied:
IT have no legislation important to all
the people which I intend to present at
the approaching session, nor am I adj
vised at this time of any particular mem
Der who has. The most important legis-
lative feature that will be taken up dur
ing the coming session is, of course, the
financial question, with special regard
to silver. AS to forecasting the ..big
things the session will accomplish, in
my opinion, about the ''biggest" will be,
and only this, the making of political
capital" for one or more of the numer-
Gus presidential aspirants."

Among That Selected for Use by the
Twin City Entertainment Bureau.
The TRIBUNE has today, from the
Twin City entertainment bureau at
Minneapolis, one of the circulars gotten
out by the bureau, in behalf of Miss
Cora Strauss, who is stated as in readi-
ness to fill engagements at different
places. Miss Struss is well known in
Bismarck, of which place she was form
erly a resident, and the circular in ques-
ton presents an excellent likeness Of
the young lady, with a number of press
notices, illustrative of her ability as an
elocutionist.
Another interesting fact in this con
nection, is that the superintendent Of
the Twin City bureau, which is sending
out a number of meritorious entertain
ers, is Robt. p. Kline, a son Of Pastor
Kline, formerly Of the Baptist church
here.

FLORAL WORK,
The Local Chapter of the Eastern Star
Exemplifes Its Floral Work.

At Masonic Hall last night, the off
GERS of the Bismarck Chapter of the
Eastern Star exemplified the floral work
of the order. The work is the initiation
of a candidate, and the presentation of
flowers Of different kinds and colors, in
Specification of the many and beautiful
lessons which are taught by the five
biblical characters represented by the
points of the star, Ada, Ruth, Esther,
Martha, and Electa. The candidate
was presented, in the course ofinitiation,
by each n of the five points Of the star,
with flowers of a particular color, each
color significant Of some admirable
quality of character and nobility Of pur-
pose. The ceremony is one which is
permitted by the order to be given in
public, andits beauty Of significance, and
the graceful mannerin which the several
features of the initiation were carried
out, were thoroughly appreciated by
those who witnessed it. After the mi
tiation had been completed, some grace
full evolutions in marching were pre-
sented, the participants forming a cross,
star, and the letters of the order, o. E.
and S., with an ease of movement, and a
grace of transformation from one design
to another which elected an outburst
of applause at the formation of each
different figure.
After the completion of the work, re-
freshments were served in the dining
room, and those present amused them
selves in dancing and other enjoyable
diversions. Over a hundred were pres
emf. "

HB WANTS A WRIT
E. Ashley Mears the Latest Applicant
Fora Writof Habeas Corpus
in Supreme Court.
Jailed by Judge Mcconnell at Fargo
For Refusing to Sign Deeds
When Ordered.
The Case Arises Out of One of Mcars'
State Bank Transactions
Two Years Ago.
Wants a Writ.

Writs of Habeas Corpus are becoming
popular of late, and the latest applicant
is E. Ashley Mears, who filed a motion
for a writ in his case Saturday. Mears
is in jail at Fargo, where he was or
dered by Judge Mcconnell Thursday
night to remain until there should be
something done by him toward comply
ing with the order which Judge McCon-
nell issued some time ago in the case of
the Bank of Minot VS.. Mears. It seems
that there was considerable litigation
over the assigning of certain deeds after
the receiver was appointed for the diff
ferent concerns belonging to Mears.
There were three deeds that the Bank
Of Minot claimed should be signed over
to them by E. Ashley Mears, the holder.
In the trisl last year, which was a very
lengthy one, the court order him to
sign them. He complied in two OF
the cases but from that date to this
he has refused to sign the third. He
kept from the jurisdiction of the court
until about a month ago when he showed
up in the court room. He was al once
arrested for contempt of court, and wal
remanded to jail. He got out on bail.
Thursday was the day set for argument
in the contempt case. All the afternoon
the attorneys argued in the case. At
the close of the arguments Judge McCon-
nell again ordered hat Mears be taken
to Jail under he should comply with the
order of the court. Mears will now try
the supreme court, as a means of getting
| his release.

Inmates of the Penitentiary are 1ncreas-
ing in Number.

Inmates of the Penitentiarya are ~Increas-
ing in Number.
The number of inmates at the peni-
tertiary is still increasing. The record
was broken the other day when the hun
dred mark was passed, and the popula-
ton is increasing steadily. Three more
convicts, were received from the east
yesterday, and three more from Dickin-
son. Cass county has several which
will be sent up in, the near future, and
a term of court is now in session at
Grand Forks which will probably turn
out several. The Bismarck term of
court which convenes next week will
also increase the population by from
four to six, two of them having been
formerly inmates of the pen, who will
probably be re-sentenced for escaping.
The fall terms of court throughout the
state are usually the most prolific of
prisoners. and the majority of them
come from the hobos who come into the
state to work in the harvest fields.
There is no immediate prospect of
crowding the ~penitentiary facilities as
there is plenty Of room in the institu-
ton. The cutting down Of the appro-
priation which was rendered necessary
last spring, is felt to some extent now in
the management of the institution,
with the larger number of prisoners,
and rigid economy is rendered necessary
along all lines of expenditure.

A LITTLE LATE.
Returns From a Precinct Come in Too
Late for Use.

The returns from the Grass Lake cleo
ton precinct were brought in to the
auditors Office Friday. TWAS thought
first when no returns were received from
there that no election had been held,
owing to the fact that a large number of
voters had been detained in the city by
the storm. It appears there was one,
however, and the returns were brought
in a day or two later by Amund Thor,
and left at Michelson's grocery, where
they have been ever since. There were
only six votes cast in the precinct-three
for johnson, two for Anderson and one
for Anstrom-but the vote will not be
considered, and the result was canvassed
and declared officially by the commits
sioners Friday.

The threshing on three sample fields
Of my own averaged 8 cents a bushel.
The first field, 300 acres, yielded 10, 844
bushels, which sold for 81, .06 at 80
cents a bushel. The total cost per acre,
including work, threshing, taxes and in
terest, amounted to $8.49. The yield
per acre was thirty-six bushels, for which
I got 80 cents a bushel, or S14.O4, show
ing a profit Of $3.50. On the second field
] got thirty bushels per acre, and sold
for 81 cents a bushel, or S11.10. The
total expense in this instance was S7.55,
leaving a profit of $3.50 per acre. The
third field yielded forty-six bushels an
acre, for which I got 40 cents per bushel,
making S18.4O. The cost of production
a $3.50, Or a profit Of SO per acre. I
bought this latter piece of land two
years ago for 81 per acre. Thus it will
be seen that wheat farming is, beyond
all question, a very profitable under
taking in the northwest.
