WoOdford Cables a Synopsis of the
Answer to Washington.
The State department on Thursday re-
ceived the long expected cablegram from
United States Minister Woodforl Mt Mad
rid, transmitting the answer of the Span
ish government to his representations in
the interest of the peace in Cuba. The
transmission of the message occupied
nearly all Of the day. 1t is not so long
as expected. In fact there were a little
less than 1000 words in the message, for
Mr. oodford instead of cabling the whole
of the Spanish answer To his note, had
contentcd himself with reducing the mat
ter to a brief outline.
The first copy was taken at once To the
president, being delivered by Chief Clerk
Michaels i'll person at the White House.
After due opportunity had been allowed
ulc president To read the message an APP
plicatiOn was made for Il statement of its
contents or nature. This was declined 10y
Secretary Porter and it was said that UNI
der no circumstance would the cOrrc-
s%pondencc he made public before consider
alton by the cabinet.

Luereeer AND VINCENT our
Big sausagcmaker Quarrcls with
His Chief Counsel.

Hts Chief Counsel.
There is q strong probability that en-.
Judge Vincent will not appear as counse,
for Adolph l.. Luetgcrt in his second tria;
on tho charge Of numbering his wife il
Chicago. A very heated conversation, it i.
said, took place between tile sausagemake.
and his counsel in the Jail the other day
Ex-Judge Vincent urged Luetgert to agree
to o reasonable continuance of the case
but he was obduratc. Luetgert bccame
very angry and sent for Attorney Ramsey
At 4 O'Clock Thursday afternoon Luetgeri
appeared before Judge Chetlain with
Attorney Phalcn and had his case
continued to the next term of cour'
OIL his own motion. States Attor
ney Deneen was present. Previous t.
the continuance it had been positivel,
agreed by the counsel that Luetgert';
second trial should begin ON November s.
and Luetgert wanted this understood. II
was necessary to have Luetgert ask for the
continuance, rs under the law Of Illinois
a prisoner held through forms of court
without trial is entitled to his freedom.
Luetgert has been held this length of time
as the disagreement of the jury counts as
no trial. Unless lie himself asked for the
continuance, States Attorney Denecn
would have placed tho case ON call and
Brought it up for trial at once.

DUE TO BAD BOOKKEEPING.
Discovered that Sioux Falls Railway
Owes the City Sl.Of7.18.


In going over his books recently, while
making u list of property owners who were
delinquent on their paving assessments,
the city treasurer of Sioux Falls discov-
cred a curious oversight in bookkeeping
that may lead to complications. In 1892
an assessment of $1,07l.26 was entered on
the books against the South Dakota amt
Rapid, Transit Railway Company for paw
ing done and paid for by tho city'on the
right of way of the company. The COM
pany owns an electric line running from
the city to East Sioux Falls. about six
miles distant. The assessment had
been entered but since that time no
action looking to tile collection Of the
installments as they should become due
has been taken, as indicated by the treas
urer's books. Tho assessment draws Z
per cent. interest from the time of its
entry. Since this assessment was made
the company has gone through q receiver
ship, has had an adjustment of its affairs
and q settlement of its book accounts. and
has been %reorganized under the name of
the Sioux Falls Transportation Company.
What effect this will have On the validity
of the assessment, and whether the assess-
ment still is binding, are matters yet TO le
determined.

summoned, but all efforts to revive him
failed. Without a sign of recognition to
those around him lie passed away peace
fully.
Since his nomination for mayor IF
Greater New York by the Jcffersonian
Democrats a month ago lie had been MAX
ing an extremely lively canvass, working
early and late and speaking several times
each evening. His candidacy gave the
campaign its greatest element of uncer-
tainty, and expert politicians were unable
to estimate how much of Bryan's vote
would go to him instead of to Van Wyck,
h tammany candidate.
Tho newspaper men reporting his
speeches noticed signs that he was falling
down. At times lie was incohercnt, and
his speeches were often rambling. His
eyes grew dull, wrinkles came at the cor
ners, his checks grew sunken and hollow,
and his voice, usually resonant and pleas
ant, was pitched almost to a piping treble,
and in conversation lie was querulous and
seemed like one whose nerves were SO
highly wrought they might snap without
warning.

Chicago Thieves.

Mayor Harrison of Chicago will appoint
n commission To investigate frauds in the
water office. Expert Harper, who has
been engaged on the water Office books for
three months. las informed the mayorthat
his report, which will be ready in Il few
days, will show that frauds aggrcgating
thousands of dollars, have been per-
petratcd by former officials Of this depart

the past two years rebates TO the amount
of 100000 have been granted without
authority. Rebates Of 100000 more

Telephone Across the Range.

Prof. s. Rowe of the firm of Rowe Bros.
of Pierre is in the Black Hills, having
come across the reservation in the interest
Of the new long distance telephone line
which is TO connect Pierre with the Hills.
The plan is 10 make Rapid City Ale head
quarters. The line will be built us
far as Midland this fall and will be CONF
plctcd to the Hills in the spring. a telc-
phone line across the reservation will Ike a
great boon to tile stockmen and will be
the first connecting link to join the Black
Hills with tho eastern part of the state.
One of the great advantages will he the
greater speed with which medical aid ram
be summoned from tho cities to distant
places.
The greatest advantage will come to the
st0ckmen. Onc large cattle dealer told
MI. Rowe that lc had lost 5000 that lie
would not rave lost if he could lave tclc-
poned TO Rapid City, sixty miles away and
ascertaincd the market price before lie
started to drive his cattle. The coming of
storms in winter can also be tclcplloned
ahead and great loss TO cattle prevented.
The line is already surveyed through To
the Hills.
