Justice to scttlers,

Special Agent Fay of the interior de-
partment, recently visited the western por-
ton Of the coded Sioux lands to investigate
the alleged wholesale fencing and occu-
pancy of government lands. The inclos-
ures were made by individuals and cor
porations engaged in cattle and horse rails
ing, and vary in area from comparatively a
few acres up into the thousands. There
are a number Of settlers in that region, but
only a few of them have made entry at the
proper a office for the land they hold.
The settlers seen by the special agent were
not unaware of the fact that they were
violating the law, and that it was only a
question of time when their Enclosures
would have to be removed. All expressed
an intention of promptly complying with
the notices given them by the special agent
to remove the fences. AS the result of the
trip it is believed that a number of home-
stead entries will be recorded and that
school sections will be in demand.

Two alleged Noblemcn are locked up In
the central police station at Chicago on the
charge of swindling. They are Count
Henri Killing of Strasburg, Germany, and
Prince Lorenzo Mabes of Naples, Italy.
Two women of French descent, giving
their names as Camille Boussat and Alice
Smith, claim to have met the noblemen at
a fashionable ball in New York city, and
when they spoke of a contemplated tour to
California for the winter the suggestion
was quickly seconded by the gentlemen, it
is said, who admitted that such u trip was
one of the features mapped out to take
place during their stay in America. 1t was
proposed that the party journey together
and stop for a time in Chicago. The prop
osition met with general approval. Upon
arriving in Chicago the count, it is said,s
asked for a small loan, upon the prctense
that money was expected daily from the
fatherland. From then until the purses of
both women had been completely drained
like requests, it is said, were continued.
The money thus obtained, it is alleged,
amounted to nearly $1,000. 1t is said the
men have operated in nearly every large
city ON both sides of the Atlantic.

SOUTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS IN
CONDENSED FORM.
The Supreme Court Refuses to Or

Give the State to Bryan.

In the mandamus case of Richard j.
Woods VS.. the Governor and Secretary of
State for the issuance of certificates to the
Republican electors on the incomplete can-
vass, the supreme court in a verbal opinion
Monday morning denied the writ. The
court holds that the board has the power to
adjourn for a reasonable length of time to
secure complete returns from counties,
which in its Judgment may be properly
,anvassed. This assures the election of the
Bryan electors. The Populists are pleased
with the decision, as it practically gives
Them all they contend for.
The court also handed down an opinion
in the habeas corpus application of T. A.
Hammill of Brule County, who is being
held on a charge of assault with intent to
kill. The court refused to grant the writ
on the ground that the application should
have been first made to the circuit court,
and if it came before the supreme court
should be on appeal.

A dispatch from Palma, Island of Ma

Laurada, from Palermo, has sailed for Glib
raltar, where she will take on a cargo for
America.
The announcement in Washington by
cable that the notorious steamship Laurada
has sailed directly from Palermo for Glib
raltar, instead of forcing her way into the
harbor of Valencia, gave great satisfaction
to the officials there who feared that inter-
national trouble was about to be caused
without adequate reason. Valencia has
always been regarded as a dangerous spot,
subject to riots and spasms of violence, and
it was feared that the appearance
there of the Laurada, known to have been
in the service of the Cuban insurgents,
would be resented by the eXcitable popu-
lace; that rioting and bloodshed would
follow, and perhaps through an attack up.

A Tacoma, Wash, dispatch says: A

freezing to death in the Cascade Noun
tains. They are snowbound, and Judge
Erwin, agent at Simcoe, who has charge of
the Yakimss has organized a relief party
at Chehalis to go to the base of Mt. Ia

dams were ovcrtaken and hemmed in by
the great snowstorm that swept over the
western part of this state o couple of weeks

A party Of seventeen or eighteen Indians,
consisting of men, women and children,
were out on a hunting expedition when the
storm began, the snow quickly becoming
so deep that they were unable to travel.
As o as the storm subsidized one of their
number travelled to Chehalis, a distance of
about s%eventy-fve miles. He reported the
snow ten feet deep, tho horses all dead
from exposure and starvation, and the
women badly in need of relief. Agent
Erwin has received a message from WASH
ington instructing him to spare no expense
to rescue the imprisoned Indians.

EXCITING SENATE DEBATE.
All the Recognized Leaders Take
Part In the n%iscussion.

AL the Recognized Leaders Take
Part I'm the Discussion.
The session of the United States senate
Wednesday developed the most eventful
and exciting debate that either branch of
congress has heard in a long time. 1t
brought forward the recognized leaders of
the VARIOUS parties and elements, including
such conspicuous figures as Senators Sher-
man, Frye, Teller, German, Vest, Aldrich,
Plat, Mitchell of Oregon, Chandler, Hale
and Allen. in notable statements on the
leading questions which have engaged the
attention Of congress and the country of
late. Not only were the lines laid down
on tariff and finance, but the debate par
took OF all the pentup feeling resulting
from the recent national contest. Political
differences came in for a fair share of at
tention and the names of Mr.. Mckinley,
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Cleveland wero often
heard.
Thedebate came unexpectedly when Sem
ator Vest called up the Allen resolution
for consideration of the Dinglcy bill in or
der to make some remarks on it. Senator
Vest was in his usual caustic vein and his
speech teemed with those graceful and
catchy phrases for which he is noted. 1t
severely arraigned the doctrine of protcc-
ton. and derided the promises of prosperity
held out, lie said, by Mr.. Mckinley, which
could not be fulfilled by lcvying more taxes
on the people.
Senator Teller followed, pointing out the
futility of urging the Dinglcy bill. AS to
future tariff legislation, he reserved his
Judgment on it until the measure was pre-
sented and its merits considered.
Senator German also pointed out the
uselcssness of urging the Dingley bill, con-
ceding, however, that after March 4 next,
the Republican senators would be in sufi-
cicnt strength to pass a tariff bill.
Throughout the debate the sentiment
had prevailed that the Dinglcy bill was
dead, and to give this final and apparently
official sanction, Senator Plat, of the
finance committee announced that no eff
fort would be made to urge that bill to
passage.
Senator Sherman promptly arose and
said that in view of what had been said, he
acquiesccd in the general sentiment that
no further effort should be spent on the
Dinglcy bill. This was regarded as the
final disposition of the bill.
