kept up a well directed fire upon the
Greek position, which was covered by
a long slope thickly dotted with houses

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The har-
mony existing in the Minnesota delega-
ton in congress is not more than knee
deep. Every member of the house has
his individual aspirations, and all of
the representatives are unit only in
one thing. They are throwing dornicks
at the senators because of their appa-
rent determination to control the dip
lomatic appointments Minnesota will
get but few of these fancy plums The
last civil service order of President
Cleveland took nearly all of the best
spoils out of reach of the scramblers,
and placed them under the protection
of the civil service law.
No man can get any sort Of con-
sular position without the Endorsement
of a solid state delegation. The rep
resentatives have applicants galore on
their hands, but they cannot get the
senators to indorse any of the fellows
who want to better their condition by
forming an attachment with the fed
eral pay roll. The representatives say
that the senators are trying to hog it
all and leave the members of the house
of representatives nothing but the posi-
offices, and the postoffices are weari-
ness and vexation of the flesh; also &
wear and tear on the brain.
One of the Minnesota representatives
this evening said: 81 have nothing
against Davis or Nelson, but they
ought to play fair enough to tell US
that they will not indorse any of our
men, instead of letting matters drift.
None of us can tell our constituents
anything concerning future prospects,
because none Of US can tell what the
senators will do. They are both as
solitary as oysters and as secretive as

authorities of Emmons county, where
the six members Of the Spicer family
were murdered in a mysterious ana
brutal manner last February, are now
on the way to a complete unraveling
of the mystery. Not long ago one OF
two half-breed Indians, who are under
arrest charged with the crime, made a
partial confession accusing his COM

ried out the crime. This confession has
been supplemented by the confession of
two Indian boys who were suspected
of knowledge of the crime. They state
that they happened at the Spicer place
the day the murder was committed,
and found the two half-breeds there.
The members of the family were muir
dered and the boys were induced to
keep silent through fear Of being sus-
pected of having been concerned in the
matter. A division of the property
stolen from the place was made, and
