 In the Senate to-day Harris of Kan sas introduced a resolution with refer ence to the latest phase of the Kansas Pacific sale. He said in connection with the resolution that the reason for it's presentation at this time was that the Attorney General had informed him less than week ago that he proposed to redeem the first mortgage bonds of the Kansas Pacific and have a receiver appointed for the road.
 We were surprised yesterday" said Harris, Ito learn that the Attorney General had decided to abandon his ex- pressed plan of redeeming the first mortgage bonds of the Kansas Pacific and having the receiver appointed for the road. By this deal, If 1t be true that it has been entered into, the Gov ernment would lose $6,624,107 interest due"
 The resolution was as follows:
 Resolved, That the Attorney-G -Genekai Is directed to inform the Senate If he has authorized the abandonment of his ex- pressed intention to redeem the first mortgage bonds issued by the Union Pa cific Railroad Company, eastern division, now the Kansas Pacific division, of the postponement of the sale thereof and for the appointment of receiver there of in the interests of the Government of the United States, and also if he has authorized an agreement by which said property is to be sold for the face value of the subsidy bonds, resulting in loss 10 10 the Government of the amount of $6.624, 1O7, and if the Government has agreed not to be bidder at said sale

PLACED IN 4 FALSE LIGHT
 BY A FOOL
Continued from First Page.

of justice, the State Department has Senor Canalejas, to whom the letter was addressed, the epistle written by Senor Dupuy de ,Lome which led to the resignation of the Minister. The transaction is explained in the follow ing brief statement given out tonight by the State Department:
 Recognizing that the legal owner ship of the De Lome letter Is in Mr. Canalejas, and his agent and attor- ney, MT. Carlisle, having proper au- thority to receive the same, the letter was delivered to him to-day
 As explained in this statement, Mir. Carlisle was fully authorized to ap- ply for and receive the letter, having the cabled authorization from Senor Canalejas In the view of the State Department the letter was a stolen document, and, like any other piece of property, it should, upon ap- plication, be delivered to its rightful owner. There was no other course left open, for, in the United States, as in all other countries having a code of laws, a letter becomes the sole prop erty of the person to whom it is ad- dressed immediately after it starts on it's way from the sender. Even the latter cannot obtain possession of 1t without the consent of the person ad- dressed; the limit of his powers legally being in certain cases to stop the de- livery of the paper. This letter has, besides, already completely served ali of the uses for which it might have been applied by our Government, and there are in existence facsimile copies of the paper that are so surely authen- ticated as to leave no legal doubt of their accuracy.
 There now remains only the closing chapter of the incident to be written, for the end is already in sight. Not withstanding all that has been said in the press about demands on Spain for apologies or retractions of the dis agreeable things said by Senor Dupuy de Lome in his letter. it can be posi- lively stated that at no time since the publication of the letter has the State Department taken any such course. Instead 1t has relied entirely upon the sense of propriety of the Spanish Government to do all that was proper and needful to wipe out the un. pleasant impression produced by these statements, and it can now be said that this course has been fully justi- fled and that the Spanish Cabinet, now being aware of the full text of the letter, is expected within a day or two to make such disclaimer of the letter as is required by the circumstances.
 Tonight the State Department re- ceived official notice from Madrid of the selection of Senor Lois Polo- Rer. nabe to succeed De Lome

After many years it is to be county

had but little use for the office and had
intended to resign anyway, as he has
other business that requires his attention.
Eight may be little, in most peoples
minds but it isn't Little" by good
deal as Farrow figures it.
The republicans got the Airth, and
though there is but short fence around
it, there is enough to enclose the clerk
of courts office.
Rumor has it that Fred Farrow will
take the Jail residence himself. Hope it
is true, Fred is good fellow, and will
be welcome to Pembina.
Some of the totals were little off last
week in the hurry Of going to press and
we republish the table this week.
The official count next week may
change the totals and najorities Slightly
but not probably to any great extent, un-
less some canvassing board has made
bull in making their returns. In the
case of close majorities it is possible that
recount would change the results and
doubtless would make a difference as to
how some ballots we're counted by the
canvassing boards, but on this score
would be just as likely to increase ma.
jorities as anything else.
There were nearly 1900 votes cast for
some Offices. This points to total vote
of about 8, 100, as no one office gets all
the ballots. The vote of 1896 was about
3,775.

Through The Ice.

Drayton, N. D. Nov. 15.-(Herald
Special. )-Clarence A. Fairchild, editor
of the Drayton Echo, is supposed to
have been drowned in the Red river last
evening at $50. He was seen skating
alone and few minutes later was heard
calling for help. Those in hearing dist.
ances quickly ran to the river to render
assistance, but were too late, as he had
disappeared. The marks were found
where he had skated into an opening in
the river and his mitten on the ice near
by were sufficient evidences. At late
hour last night a party was on the river
with hooks and graphing irons trying to
rescue the body, but failed to find it.
The evidence is only circumstantial, but
there is every indication to believe that
he was drowned.
He was young man of exemplary
character and habits and most highly
respected and esteemed by all. About
a year ago he had graduated from the
State University with highest honors and
had just entered upon career of honor
and usefulness. His loss will be deeply
mourned by the entire community as we'll

shock has almost Frustrated. Mr.. Fair
