A Remarkable Tribute.

Tho recent meeting OF the North Dakota
Legtslature In Joint memorial session to ex-
press the common sorrow that prevails
throughout North Dakota over the death Of
Mrs. Hansbrough, the wife Of the senior Sem
ator from that State, is perhaps the first in.
stance OF the kind on record. There is not in
mind a similar occurrence as transpiring in
any other commonwealth OF the Union, and
1t will ever stand as q credit to the new north
State that its Legislature Is the first to meet
In joint memorial session to pay tribute to
the memory OF a woman. The proceedings
of this remarkable assemblage were Of most
Interesting nature, the speeches by prominent
Senators and members Of the Legislature be-
ing unusually eloquent and touching. Upon
the announcement Of the death of Mrs. Hans
brough both houses Of the Legislature, then
In session at Bismarck, Immediately a.
journed, committees OF the two branc;. >
were appointed to draft resolutions, and Q
week later the two houses met in joint ses-
sion.
Lieutenant-Governor Worst presided, and
made feeling address, speaking of the suf-
lering uncomplainingly endured by Mrs.
Hansbrough for over four years. The joint
committee on resolutions presented Its re-
port, extending the sympathy Of the Legisla-
ture OF the State to the Senator In the time Of
his bereavement. Remarks were made, in
seconding the resolution, by Representatives
Prosser, of Ramsay County, and Edwards, Of
Cass, and Senators Day, Of Ramsay; Greg
Dry, of Ward; Stevens, Of Dickey, and Burke,
Of Rolette, after which the resolutions were
adopted by rising vote, and this remarkable
legislative session adjourned.

Two little oranges n Chicago, the other

fruit dealers into consultation. After an

BEGINS TO LOOK SERIOUS
State Department Cons dering Lcrd Sack
vile Vests Charges.
An Apology or Disnvowal of the Al
legations May BE Demanded of the
British Government.

1t is apparent that the Lord Sackville in
cident is viewed more seriously by the
State Department they come to think
it over The idea expressed yesterday that
the department would not be warranted
in taking any official notice of the attack,
will probably be abandoned.
Good authorities hold that under the En-
glish system where they have retirement
in the diplomatic service, diplomat on the
retired list is still an official of the gov
ernrlent, just our retired army and navy
officers are regarded as still in the service
and subject to military authority.
In this view of the case it is incumbent
upon the State Department to demand an
apology or disavowal from the British gov
erl ment, unless there is some such action
taken by Lord Salisbury voluntarily. 1t is
agreed that Mir Bayard cannot, with digni-
ty, remain in his present position, unless
there Is an apology made.
1t is said that there may be temporary
transfer of station between Mr.. Bayard and
Mr. Eustis if it becomes necessary for a
denIand for an apology to be made
Mr.. Bayard could not himself make the
demand and it is expected that Eust:s
will, If necessary, be sent to London and
Bayard to Paris, pending the settlement of
the matter.
1t is intimated that for Great Britain to
ignore Lord Sackville's offense would give
ground for the suspicion that Lord Sails
bury's foreign office was served in having
our representative discredited in the diplo-
matte corps.

both sides are vehement in their charges

in for round of abuse, and the Reform
League charges them with registering
more than 5000 names fraudulen:ly, while
the republican state committee makes an
accusation of fully 10000 names illegally

and MIR. John j. Mahon of the democratic

positive evidence that in four wards from

The bureau of engraving and printing is

are printed from plates, and the design is
one OF remarkable beauty and finish. Ac-
companying each form is considerable
portion of matter printed from tyre, and
Tor this work, by arrangement between the
public printer and the Secretary of the
Treasury, the former will furnish to tho
superintendent Of the bureau of engraving
and printing force of printers, selected
from the eligible list for the government
printing office. These printers will be en-
pioyed at the bureau of engraving and
printing for the next two or three months
IN a temporary capacity. Pand will forego
none Of their rights as elikihles for perma-
nent situations in the government printing
ONCE The government printer called for
four compositors today under this arrange
ment and it is said that twenty-five will
be required
This action will reduce the eligible list
of compositors to less than forty, but this
number will be increased, perhaps doubled.
when the results of the recent examina-
tions are known. 1t Is estimated that tho
government printer will require additional
compositors to the number of two hundred
and fifty when Congress opens, so that
the civil service commission will undoubt-
edly hold several more examinations in or
der to secure sufficient number of work
men between now and the lst of Decem,
ber. 1t is said among printers who have
been taking the examinations that while
the first was comparatively easy, each
successive examination has been steadily
more difficult.
Many printers, in their rspugnance to the
idea of civil service in the government
printing office. failed to take the first ex-
animation, thought better of it, and took
the second, or the third and IN some cases
failed to pass, where poorer workmen were
successful in the first examination.
