HONOR AND SORROW.
Death of the Daughter Of Governor Briggs
Announced at the Inauguration.

Death of the Daughter Of Governor Briggs
Announced at the Inauguration.
BISMARCK, n. D., Jan. 6.-Governor
Frank A Briggs took the oath of office
and assumed his position as governor
at noon The oath was administered
by Judge Winchester of the district
court in the presence of Roger Allin,
now ex-governor, State Auditor N. B.
Hannum, and Insurance Commissioner
Fancher.
A peculiarly sad coincidence in con-
nection with the Inauguration was the
fact that while the oath of office was
being administered the governor re-
ceived a telegram announcing the
death of his Oldest daughter, Stella, at
Minneapolis. She has been sufferer
from consumption for some time, and
has been undergoing medical treat
ment. The death, while not unex-
pected, was a sad shock to the governor
and to those present when the news
was received. Mr.. Briggs left at once
for Minneapolis.
The fifth legislative assembly con-
vened at noon and organized, E. A.
Williams of Burleigh being chosen
speaker of the house. No business other
than organization was done.

Speech of Senator Call in the

Atrocities.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE Loud blll
to amend the law relating to second
class mail matter was passed by the
house after two days of debate, by a
vote of LA to 105. The opposition to
the bill made strong fight against it.
The statements made on the floor as TO
its effect on certain particulars were
very conflicting. The most important
provision of the bill denies the serial
publications admission to the mails at
cent per pound rates. 1t is as fol-
lows:
"That nothing herein contained shall
be so construed as to admit to the Sec
ond class rate publications purporting
to be issued periodically and to sub
scribers, but which are merely books or
reprints of books, whether they be
issued complete or in parts, whether
they be bound or unbound, whether
they be sold by subscriptions or other.
wise, or whether they purport to be
premiums or supplements, or parts OF
regular newspapers or periodicals.
The bill also denies to newspapers
the sample copy" privilege and the
privilege enjoyed by newsdealers of re-
turning unsold publications at the Sec
ond class rate.
The only other important change in
the present law provides that publish
ers whose publications are admitted as
second class matter shall be required
before depositing such mail matter in
the postotfice to separate the same into
United States mail sacks or bundles by
states, cities, towns and counties as
the postmaster general shall direct.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE speech of
Senator Call of Florida on Cuba served
as the medium for making public let
ter giving graphic description of the
Cabanas fortress of Havana and the
surroundings of the American citizens

interest to it, as Mr. Call said N came
from public man of high standing in
the United States who would shortly
occupy a place in the legislative branch
of the government. The letter dealt

scribed visit made by the writer and
General Lee to Cabanas fortress on the
morning of Dec. 80. 1t told of the
PitifuI Condition of the Prisoners,
