THE FIGHT GOES ON.
Desperate Attempt to Weaken the
Kyle Forces.
Pierre. s. d., Feb. S.-The ant!-Kyle
populists spent the whole of last night
in a desperate attempt to break down
the senator's forces, but nc conclusion
was arrived at. An effort was made to
induce GoodykoontZ to withdraw in ia
Vor of Plowman. but 1t did not go
through because Loucks would not con.
sent. 1t is rumored, but mol credited,
that he will do so tonight. The Loucks
men sent a telegram to Bookings last
night declaring that unless the Brook
ings members stopped voting for Kyle,
Bookings college would receive no ap-
preparation. Johnson of Kansas, said
this morning that Kyle apparently had
the winning hand. but that he was not
here to elect ny particular man, but to
see that democrats stayed in line and
prevented republicans slipping III. Pop
ulist old soldiers held a meeting, bur
nothing Of Importance was decided On,
and there was no material change in the
balloting today There We're thirteen
~absentees, seven being republicans.
Kyle lost one, Goodylioontz three. The
ballot stood: Picker, Al; Kyle, So; Goody-
koontz, IS; Plowman. 10; Kellar, 2; Pal
mer, /.
Under the bill just passed abolishing
the Office of quartermaster general, Gov
II Lee has made a demand on Cen
eral Carpenter of Watertown, to turn
over the militia supplies in his hands.
1t is understood here that he will be
unable to do so. He should account for
$50. 900 worth of uniforms and rms
All of this has been distributed to the
various companies and under the law
good bonds should have been secured.
The bonds secured prove to be of little
value and most of the companies are
short. No charge is made against the
integrity of General Carpenter, but it
is said he has been exceedingly careless
In his business methods. The state will
probably demand satisfa ction of bonds
men. The given security is for $4,000.

tural college has brought suit against

ditor % draw warrants. Governor Lee
will ask the legislature to repeal tn,
