Kyle Said to Be Leading.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. Enough mem
bers of the lower branch of the legis-
lature had arrived today to form a
quorum and organize. The fusion

Snow blockades still prevent the alb

The senatorial question is of course
the chief center Of excitement. Now
that both houses are organized and

ga UNIQUE THING
Two Girls Slug Before a Select Au-
dience of Bluebloods


New York. Jan. Ga Sun special
from Williamsport, Pa, says: The
most unique prize fight in the history
of the Susquehanna valley, was fought
here last night between Daisy Hemp
and Violet Slocum, two girls of this
city. The mill was pulled off without
the intervention of the police and be-
fore a select audience of blue blooded
sports. Five fiercely contested rounds
were fought with five ounce gloves for
a purse. The first three rounds were
hot ones. Each girl knew how to use
her hands and uppercuts and hard
body blows followed in rapid success
sion.
In the fourth round Daisy stopped
the fight to tie UP her golden hair and
then went on. She hit Violet on the
nose, but it did not phase her IL the
least. The fifth round ended without a
knockout but each girl showed evil
dence of a hard fought contest. Daisy
was declared the winner.

alarms were turned In and the large
number of engies called out got the
flames under control by $3.50 o'clock.
The damage Is confined principally to
the eastern, or Office portion. OF the
building, and was mostly caused by wa
ter with which the roof was flooded.
All the offices on the top floor were de-
stroyed. The narrow streets and the
mass of overhead wires hampered the
work of the firemen, and had not the
building been almost fire proof the hre
would undoubtedly have destroyed 1t.
The loss is about 100000. Guests at the
Planters hotel, a half block distant,
were frightened and rushed from their
rooms. but returned when they learned
that they were In no danger

THE FORESTRY PROCLAMATION.
1t Meets with Vigorous Opposition from
Some Congressman.


Washington. Feb. 25.-The forestry
proclamation issued by President Cleve-
land is meeting with the vigorous oppo-
sition Of some of the congressional del
egations from the sections interested.
Senator Clark of Wyoming, Representa-
tive Mondell of Wyoming. and Repre-
sentative Gamble of South Dakota had
and interview with Secretary Francis,
at which they protested against the
proclamation. They said 1t was a man.
ifest injustice to the people there and
that it had set up timber region whers
none was needed.
They contended that there was nc
danger of exhausting the timber sup
ply; that the setting aside of the Big
Horn reserve was especially mistake,
based only on the recommendations OF
the forestry commission, whose knowl-
edge of the conditions. they said, were
certainly inadequate. The action was
pointed out as retarding the growth and
settlement of the states interested and
shutting off the development Of great
resources They contended that the res
ervation embraced valuable mineral de-
posts which would be worked to the
profit of the country, and that these
were now wrongfully barred from be-
Ing utilized Secretary Francis, togeth-
er with Arnold Hague, one of the COM
yissioners, talked over the matter very
frankly, explained that 1t was necessary
to prevent the disastrous indiscriminate
destruction of timber. and suggested
that members might secure proper rem

lation. The members propose to fight
