PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 27.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-In the senate this morning, after a
long fight, in which there was a great deal
of sarcasm. the committee on medicine and
surgery was ordered to report the house bill
to allow the practice of osteopathy in this
state. This afternoon the senate put in Gu
final passage of house bills. Among the
leading bills passed were the resolution sub
hitting the initiative and referendum to the
people; the pure food bill, which requires
oleomargerine to be eolOred pink; making
personal property tax a first lien ON all prop
erty; providing punishment for embezzle-
ment by public officials; abolishing the
office of engineer Of irrigation and the bills
authorizing the counties on these lands to
extend their boundaries.
The principal time of the house was put
in on the Bouck liquor license bill, which
was adopted practically as it came from
the senate, allowing $3.50 of each license
to go to the state, and the bill as passed
will receive the approval of the governor.
The rules of the house were then amended
to allow a majority to suspend the rules
and the report of the majority on the cap
itol removal bill was adopted.

the Tariff Bill In the
Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-(SpeciaI Tele-
gram.)-Appropriation bills are being endan-
gered by the flibustering of democratic and
silver senator's, who see in their failure a
lever which will come in play when the
tariff bill is taken up at the extra session.
Republicans realize the game that is being
played, but profess to see nothing but rOut
for the democrats should they use the appro-
priation bills to effect lower schedules in the
tariff than will be reported by the ways and
means committee. Members of the repub-
lican steering committee and Chairman
Hanna of the national republican commit

AS a result of that conference Mr.. Hanna
held a protracted session with Godfrey Hun

lature. William Mckinley Osborne of Massa-
chusetts, Judge Thompson of Ohio, c. H.
Grosvenor and Senator Sherman, the confer

over, and 1t was agreed that every effort
should be made to get Governor Bradley to
call the Legislature together Immediately after
the inauguration, so that tine senator chosen
might qualify at once. One thing Is GER

measure, and if Bradley refuses to accede

Senate Routine.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. - The senate
turned today from the stirring theme of
Cuba to the commonplace appropriation bills,
giving the entire day to the postolice bill.
There was a somewhat sensational diversion
when Mr.. Dubois of Idaho made a statement
warning his former republican associates that
they could not control the next senate and
that the silver republicans would never CO.
operate with them while they chung to the
Jingle gold standard. The debate on the
postofice bill was mainly on the question
of investigation into the cost Of carrying
the mails on the railroads.
At 1870 o'clock tonight the senate was
still in session, with a prospect that It might
net adjourn until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morn
ing. The appropriation committee desires
II possible to dispose Of the postohice and
sundry civil appropriation bills tonight. If
it does not do so, the senate will hold a Sun
day session.

BLACK HILLS IS UP In ARMS
vigorous Protests Against Cleveland's
Forestry Reserve Order.
STRONG RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT LEAD

Out Ten Thousand Miners from

Its Suspension.

LEAD S. d., Feb. 27-(SpecIal.)-PresI-
dent Cleveland's proclamation, setting aside
nearly l,OoO,OOO acres of land in the heart of
the Black Hills, as a forestry reservation, has
caused much CONSERVATION in this city among
mining men, That 1t will work a hardship
upon every one in this region is generally
conceded, and mass meetings have been held
IN all OF the cities in the Hills to petition
the president to revoke his order. This
mass meeting held in Lead was presided
over by Major Jenkins. Addresses were
made by Superintendent Grier, of the Home
stake company, and many other prominent
mining men, deprecating the presidents
proclamation. A committee, consisting of
joseph b. Moore, George Scott, Tim Foley.
E. c. Lashley and w. e. Smead, drew up tho
following telegram, which was forwarded:
To His EXceIlency, Grover Cleveland.
President of the United States, Washing
ton, ID. c.: Your order of February %,
setting aside as a forestry reservation
nearly I,vUO,CW acres of land in the Black
Hills of South Dakota, will. If allowed
to remain in full force and effect, put an
end to the precious and valuable metal min
ing IN thls state, and drive 10000 miners
with their families hence and completely
run al other and dependent industries in
citizens of Lead, S. D., in mass meeting
pray you to suspend the opera
Black Hills of South Dakota are concerned
until "A thorough examination of the land
reserved can be made. and the matter be-
fully placed before you In its true light.
The reservation in the Black Hills includes
all the territory between a point fourteen
miles south of Deadwood, on the north, and
a point near Buffalo Gap on the south;
bounded on the west by the Wyomlng-South
Dakota state line, and on the east by a lire
near Rapid City. 1t will be thirty-six miles
wide and forty-eight miles long.
The proclamation makes II impossible for
any timber to be cut from this reservation,
and, OF course. works a severe hardship upon
all miners and prcspectors. The great Home
stake company, in this city. will be especially
effected by the order, as IL secures all OF its
vast supply Of timber from this region.
1t was thJught that an united and imme-
date protest might cause the president to re-
yoke his order. Otherwise, the Black Hills
people will endeavor to secure a special act
of congress to set aside the order. or, at any
rate, that part affecting the Black Hills.
An executive committee, to have full charge
OF the matter, is made up OF the following
prominent Lead citizens; H., e. Dewey,
w. A. Rinehart, j. B. Moore, W. E. Smead,
