lyle Gets a Second efm
ELECTED BY REPUBLICANS.

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 1S.-In the bal
lot today, the Republicans of the house
voted almost solidly for Kyle, and the
Republicans of the senate began at
once to change to Kyle, and before the
result Of the ballot was announced
enough changes had been made to give
Kyle IS votes, three more than were
necessary to elect. The. Populists Shift
ed from man to man, but the Republi-
cans stood solidly for Kyle. With the
solid Republican vote and with the
few Populists who stayed by him, Kyle
secured enough votes to pull him
through.
When the joint assembly met, the
Republican members of the senate
voted for Picker as usual, by pre-
arrangement; but when the Republi-
cans Cf the house roll were reached,
they commenced voting for Kyle. 1t
was then that the opposition first dis
covered the scheme. Before the vote
was recorded, all the Republicans
changed to Kyle. -
il was then that changes began and
confusion reigned. Olson, of Lawrence,
roasted Kyle and attempted to create
a stampede for Goodykoontz. Twice
the ballot was verified. and before the

Rfbitfation Is TO Go Over,
ON MOTION OF MR. NELSON.
ON MOTION OF MR.. SON.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-The senate
adjourned at $50 tonight, after spend
ing six hours in executive session de-
voted to the consideration of nomina-
tiOns and of the Anglo-American ar
bitration treaty. The treaty was not
been the intention of the friends of the
measure to make an extraordinary eff
fort to secure it's disposition before ad-
journment today, but their plans were
frustrated by senators who were more
anxious to secure action upon nomi-
nations. There were two aye and nay
votes during the day bearing on the
treaty. In the first, which was a con-
test between the treaty and the nomi-
nations, the treaty lost In the second,
on motion to adjourn, which was
antagonized principally by the friends
of the treaty, the latter won, as ad-
journment at that time was prevented
Both votes were close and neither was
specially significant.
1t was not long after the second
vote that Senator Sherman himself
moved an adjournment. In making the
motion Mr. Sherman said that he was
actuated by desire to consult the
convenience Of the senate and that in
asmuch as the greater part of the day
had been given to another subject, he
conceded 1t was hardly fair to ask the
senate to take up the treaty at that

discussion until it should be disposed
of. He gave notice that he would to-
session for the purpose of considering
the treaty alone and that he would
ask that the session be behind closed
doors and continued until the fate of
the treaty should be known. Upon
this announcement the senate ad-
JOurned without division.
There were no speeches on the merits
of the treaty during the day, but all
that were made We're devoted to a
motion by Senator Nelson (Minn0 to
postpone the treaty until March 5.
The speeches in favor of this molten
were made by Senators Nelson, Ali
son and Frye, and those in opposition
by Senators Sherman, Lodge. Vest
and Hear. The first three were
friendly to the treaty, but
urged the pressing character
of other business and the apparent
futility Of trying to get a vote at the
present session. Mess-s Sherman.

most probable result is the adCption

KEY WEST, Feb. 1S.-Private in

whereabouts Of Gen. Gomez He has
succeeded in sliding by Gen. Weyler,
and Is now between him and Havana.
Gen. Gomez gave the command for an
advance with strict orders that any
man that struck a match or smoked
would be court-martialed. He then ad-
vanced on the Moron trocha in the
Eastern end of the island. with 5000
cavalry and 10000 infantry. He ad-
vanced on the fort at midnight and
when he saw he was discovered by the
Spanish, who fired on him, he ordered
the cavalry to charge. They swooped
down on the fort and captured it and
the whole army went through the
trocha. All of the arms and ammunl-
tion Of the fort was captured The
army then continued the march and
was encamped at Veguite when the
news was sent to this city by a courier.

bodies were found in the house, but
in the stable was found Mrs. Spicer,
the minister's wife, with a hole in her
head and a terrible cash as if cut with
an axe in her chin. Jack Spicer
could stand it no longer alone. He
feared to search further for his brother
and almost crazed with the terrible
sight he had witnessed in a home in
which he expected to see only happi-
ness and peace, he returned to town
and told the story to the people. Head

Of people returned to the house. and
after diligent search Of the outhouses
the body of Rev. Thomas Spicer was
found in q COW she'd his head and
threat cut and his body and face multi

were tenderly cared for and an in
quest was held, at which nothing was
developed, except that one or more
Indians were seen in the vicinity Of
the house last night and four Indians

were in WinOna today. A courier was
sent to bear the news to the boy hus-
band, William Rouse, aged twenty-five.
He had left his wife and babies with
their grandparents while he went to
the Cannon Ball river country to fix
up a new rancho which he had bought
a few weeks ago and into which he
hoped to remove this spring. He had
left only Monday, and was found only
fifteen miles away returning. AS quick
" as possible the terrible fate of his
family was told to him and his brain
almost turned with the shock. He was
not allowed to see the bodies until they
had been washed from the blood which
covered them and prepared for the
grave. The inquest will be resumed to-
morrow morning, and it is presumed
that trace of the Indians will be dis
covered. The whole country is aroused,
and vengeance is breathed by all. The
soldiers at Fort Yates are ready to
render all possible assistance and the
whole country will be thoroughly
searched. 1t is a prairie section and
the Indians ought to be found.

were made by Senators Gallinger and
Brown, and in favor by Senators Hoar,
Davis and Roach, of North Dakota.
The latter said the charges were all
aired before the committee and proved
unfounded. 1t had been heralded all
over the state that Amidon would not
be confirmed, and the charges made
had been published. If the senate
should refuse to confirm it would be
believed in North Dakota that the SEN
ate thought the charges were true. In
justice to the man he ought to be con-
firmed. The others talked much in the
same line. Senator Davis said he knew
Amidon personally, and that the
charges against him were not worthy
Of notice by the senate.

HANSBROUGH'S PROTEST VAIN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-After
protracted executive session, lasting
35 to IA, confirmed the nomination of
Charles F. Amidon to be United States
district judge of the district Of North
Dakota. This nomination has been con-
tested some time by Senator Hans
brough, of North Dakota. Today he
made an extended speech against con-
firmation and read numerous tele-
grams and letters in opposition to Am
idon. His arguments were in line with
those he made before the committee
on judiciary and set forth that the

he always has with reference to silver

WINONA, N. D., Feb. 1S.-This vii
lage and whole country was stirred to
Its depths this morning by the discov-
cry Of the murder Of 4 whole family
Of people near here. Six persons lie
dead tonight in a little house, about
one and a half miles from the town,
and as yet there is no clue to the ;den-
tity of the murderers. 1t is supposed
that no one could have committed such
an awful deed but Indians craZed from
drink. This village is situated about
fifty miles south Of Bismarck, on the
Missouri river and opposite Fort Yates,
Where there is garrison of United
States troops situated The family Of
Thomas Spicer consisted Of himself,
wife and two daughters, and Mrs Wal
dron, mother of Mrs. Spicer, and at
that time there was stopping with them
their daughter, Mrs. William Rouse,
and her two infant twin boys Mr.
Spicer is a Methodist minister a shcrt
circuit rider and renowned fGr his
good works. The two children OF Mr.
and Mrs. Spicer, Ella and Maggie,
were not at home at the time Mrs
Waldron was about eighty years Of
age, and Mr.. and Mrs. Spicer v ere
about fifty-two, while Mrs. Rouse was
twenty-five and the children Of Mrs
Rouse were one and a half aars old.
This morning Jack Spicer, a brother of
Thomas Spicer, left this place for a
load of wood UP the river, and while
passing the house Of his brother call
ed out to them, but received 70 reply.
After several calls he got off his wagon
and went to the house.
A HORRIBLE SIGHT
Pushing open the door, he saw lying
on the floor of the front room the
body Of the aged Mrs. Waldron. a
great wound in her head produced by q
blow from the leg of a heavy table. In
the next room, lying on a lounge, were
the dead bodies Of the young Mrs
Rouse, with her twin babies, whose
brains had been beaten out by prob
ably the same weapon with which Mrs
Waldron was killed. They were lying
together and it is thought probable
that they were surprised asleep. Blood
was upon the floors and the scene was

Tho Gilmore Bulletin, published at
Mountain Home, Idaho, has the fol-
lowing extracts from a letter written
by MIR. Mayham, managing director
OF the Gold Creek Mining Company
to one~ Of the leading citizens of
Mountain Home. 1t is of interest to
our people:
Regarding a wagon road from Gold
Greek to Mountain dome, there
should be one put there the shortest
way possible. 1t is just So miles from
Gold Greek to Elko and is a splendid
road. Myself and some other gentle
men connected with our Gold Creek
Company have purchased the town Of
Elko. We are thereby interested in
building up Elko. Nevertheless the
Southern Pacific railroad company is
a hold up, and il it were possible for
US to get a short road in from Noun
tain Home we might be induced
to become interested in a
TOWNSHIP on the Oregon Short Line,
either Mountain Home or some other
point and throw our influence and
business that way. If your people up
there can hold oct any inducements
which you think would be sufficient
to overcome our interests the other
way, l should be very glad to hear
from you. There is one point that I
am quite anxious about. l should
like to have all our machinery and
supplies shipped in from Denver in
stead of from San Francisco. At the
present rates we have to buy our
stuff in San Fran cisco. We can buy
material cheaper in Denver than we
can In San Francisco, but the freight
to Elko from Denver is SO much
more than the freight from SAT- Fran.
cisco to Elko, that we have been COM
PEELED to trade in San Francisco. We
have purchased something like $780,
600 worth of pipe and machinery in
San Francisco. I live in Denver and
love Denver and would like Den YER
to have this business. If your people
could induce the O.S. L. y. & r. G..
and U. P. to make satisfactory rates
from Denver to Mountain Home in
order to bring the business this way
it would be a great help to all con-
cerned.
