Topics for Legislation.
PIERRE, s. D., Jan. 10.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-There has been a great deal of
quiet discussion among the legislative men
here today on measures already before them
and likely to come up in the near future
The probabilities favor reports by the COM
mittees tomorrow on the Palmer railroad
Dill and the capitol removal resolution, both
reports being that the measures do pass
The Palmer bill will probably go through
There Will be strong efforts made to secure
minor amendments, although any efforts at
amendment will be killed. 1t looks now as
II the capitol resolution will be killed, but
1t may get through by a narrow majority
in the senate
At the republican caucus last night an
effort was made to set date for a senate
rial caucus, but it was voted down. II is
not improbable, though, that a meeting will
be called for tomorrow night for the pur-
pose OF setting a date for the caucus
II is reported that Governor Lee has re-
fused a request to submit to the supreme
court the question of the constitutionality
of the repeal of the prohibtory amendment
question of the status OF the present law
since the repeal of the constitutional pro-
vision which stood back of it.
The populists are having trouble over the
question OF the distribution of patronage
and an effort at a caucus last night to har-
monize matters failed. number of bills
have been already introduced to make new
appolntive places and others will follow.

BRUSSELS. Jan. 10.-The Turkish Reform
league has issued from Brussels an appeal
to the people of Europe declaring that the
sultan has planned a massacre, to take place
during the approaching Ramazan fasts, and
imporlng the powers to interfere, depose
the sultan and proclaim Reichad Effendi
younger brother OF the sultan and heir
presumptive, his successor, with a council
of state made up OF equal numbers OF

LONDON, Jan. 10.-A dispatch from Con-
stantinople to the Standard says rumols OF
a massacre OF Christians at Trebizond, which
originated by the statement that an Italian
gunboat had been ordered thither, are un-
true. 1t appears that an Italian subject
named Marani was secretly shipped to Trebi-
zond for exile to Erzeroum The Italian
ambassador, Sgnor Pansa, demanded the
immediate return OF Marani to Constanti-
nople for proper trial, and threatened TO send
gunboats till the porte gave a written promise
OF compliance
The incident has caused a sensation at
Constantinope on account of the belief that
Italy was backed by the powers.
A dispatch to the Daily News on the same
subject: Everybody remarks that the sui
tan has never had such humiliation as for
an ambassador to openly refuse to accept
his promise, but to insist upon written
