NEW RATES FOR SOUTH DAKOTA
Railroad Commissioners Arranging
the

the SCneOuie.
Sioux Falls, June 1.-THE railroad
commission, which has been establish
ed for a couple of months in this city,
has been hard at work preparing the
schedules which are to go into effect
the first Of July. 1t has carefully stud
died the rates obtaining in Iowa and
other adjacent states, and it is under
stood that it will materially reduce the
rates charged in South Dakota 1t is
expected by the commission that the
railroads will resist the imposition of
these rates, and it is likely that there
will be a legal contests before the new
schedules are adopted.
To meet this hostile movement the
commission has appointed three attor-
ueys to advise with and fight the bat
ties for the state. In Mr.. LaFollette's
district Judge Palmer has been named,
In MI. Kilpatrick's district t. Nj. Null.
of Huron, and in Mr.. Tompkins' dis
trict Attorney Brown, of Rapid City.
Each attorney will attend to suits
brought in his district, n in case any
general or fundamental suit is brought
in the state, all three will probably act
for the commission. 1t is understood
thai the attorneys will draw pay only
when appearing in court, blu they are
appointed so that by consultation with
the commission and becoming familiar
with it's work they will be prepared to
act whe the emergency arises.
The schedules are not yet completed.
but the commission is rapidly perfect

who has a grievance against the pres
ent rates. who has any reason to show
why the present rates shall be reduced,
will be invited to appear and make his
statement. The railroad men have al
ready made a general argument against
any change, but they will be permitted
to appear again and enter their pro-
test.

Custer City, June IA peculiar dis
covery was mad rear this city recently
by three ~prospectors who were working

feet in their shaft the drill broke
through into a natural chimney, which
was found to be about three feet in d.

without bottom. Examination was
made to a depth of forty feet. The
walls were found to be spiral shape,

black rock was found, which pulverizes

like plumbago. The discovery of sue
a natural shaft is considered a lucky

A. B. TINSLEY A VICTIM
OF A POLITICAL FLUKE
He Lost the Appointment as Deputy
Auditor Of the Treasury
by a Close Margin.
TRAINS WITH GOLD DEMOCRATS
His Nomination Reaches the Senate
just as that Bod Adjourned.--
Protests from South Da-
kota We're Numerous.

Chicago, June "a Washington spc-
tial to the Chronicle says: The case OF
A. b. Tinsley Of Sioux Falls, S. D.,
strikingly illustrates the uncertainties
Of politics. LAST Monday President Nc
kinley attempted to nominate Mr.. Tins
,ey for the position of deputy auditor of
the treasury. The nomination was. in
fact, made out n sent to the capitol,
but when the messenger arrived there
he senate had adjourned. Had the SEN
ate been in session there is hardly a
doubt that Mr., Iinsley would have
been promptly confirmed. The fact
that an effort was made to send in the
name became public in South Dakota
and the wires were Immediately laden
with messages from republicans in that
state protesting against the appoint
ment. Tinsley is a sound money demo-
crat. The president was influenced to
consider him favorably for appoint-
ment by the wishes of Senator Kyle
and A. B. Kittredge. Kyle and Ttnsley
are personal friends. Senate Petit
grew is the enemy of Senator Kyle,
Tinsley and Kittredge. The protests
from South Dakota republicans have
been SO numerous that it is not now ex-
pected Mr.. Tinsley's name will be sent
to the senate.
The Beer and e Tax.
1t is practically settled that the
amendments to the tariff bill reported
oy the finance committee, imposing a
tax on tea and increasing the tax on
beer. will be rejected by the senate.
These amendments are not acceptable
TO the republican leaders in the house.
President Mckinley is also opposed to
them. because they give the bill too
much of a distinctly revenue-producing
character. a tariff on tea, while 1t
brings money into the treasury, does
not afford protection to any American
industry. Consequently it is a kind Of
tax which is repugnant to projections
lists. The influence of the National
Brewers association, which represents
all the brewers. big and little. in the
United States, is being exercised to Sc
cure the defeat of the proposed tax on
beer. The members Of the association
insist that beer now Jays Its full share
Of taxes and that it would be unjust to
the brewing industries to increase its
burden. Protests against the beer tax
have been made, by letter n in per-
son, by the leading brewers of Chicago.
Milwaukee, st. Louis. Cincinnati, Cleve-
land and other cities. Among the re-
publican senators opposed to the add
tional tax on beer are Cullom Of I'LL
nois, Spooner of Wisconsin, Foraker of
Ohio, Quay of Pennsylvania and Plat
Of New York. 1t is said that Senator
Hanna, who has been counted as a sup
porter of the tax, will vote against it.
The brewers are confident that the tax
will be defeated, but they will keep up
the agitation against it until the matter
is finally disposed of.
