Dakota was SO called from the Dakota

1851. and was admitted into the Union az

The words and music of the "Marseil-
lais Hymn" are ascribed to Rouget de Lille,
or LIsle, a French engineer officer, who.
1t is said, composed it by request, 1892, to
cheer the conscripts at Strasburg. 1t de-
rived its name from a body of troops from
Marseiles marching into Paris In 1781,

Some land 100 acres, granted by George
III. to George Washington, in what Is now
West Virginia, has recently been sold at
private sale for $4,000. 1t had been in the
Washington family for 1926 years. having
been granted in 1772. Whether Georeg III.
Is legal fiction as the giver, or whether
1t was a direct grant or bounty, is not made

VANCOUVER, b. c., March 6.-Austra
liam news to hand by the steamer Aorang
contains very full reports of the meetings
at Melbourne of the federation conVen'
ton. The convention opened January 2otf
and when the Aorangi left, February 6th
no great progress had been made. Wher
the convention got down to business II tooR
up the federation enabling bill. A long
discussion took place over the judiciary
| bill 1t was decided ultimately that as re,
CARDS the high court the bench shouiu
consist of at least chief justice ana two
other Justices The right of appeal to
the imperial privy council is abolished ex-
| cept in cases involving public interest,". "A
proposal giving over all railways without
consent of the states, instead of railways
that might be agreed to by any state, was
rejected Another proposal to include a
power to deal with conciliation ana aroi-
tration for the prevention and settlement
of industrial disputes extending beyond
the limits of any one state was agreed 10.
A question which had almost resulted
in a deadlock when the mail left was a
proposal to place the Murray. Darling and
Murrumbi rivers under federal control.
The New South Wales delegates raised
the cry that the colony was being robbed
of its rivers.
AT last the convention unanimously de-
cided. as a preliminary, to remove from
the bill the sub-clause giving the federation
the control and regulation of the naviga-
ton of the Murray and the use of its
waters from where the stream forms the
boundary between Victoria and New South
Wales to the sea.
Various compromises regarding other
rivers were being discussed when the mail
left.
The Queensland and South Australian
governments have forwarded replies to the
recent dispatch from Mr.. Chamberlain
secretary of state for the colonies, on the
question of an imperial 2-penny postage
rate, stating that they are not favorable
to the reduction of the postage to 2 pence
as it would entail a loss of revenues.
The colony of Victoria, like Tasmania
has suffered fearfully from bush fires. Fires
are reported from all parts of the colony.
Much damage has been done and scores of
families are homeless.
In Tasmania Chief Justice Sir Lambert
Dobson is obtaining a report of the DAM
age done by fire to guide the relief commit
tee in its distributions. Nothing has ever
been known before in the southern colonies
like the ruin wrought, and this year will
long be woefully memorable, both in Vic
toria and Tasmania.
From Adelaide and Wellington, N. u.
come further reports of bush fires. The
report from New Zealand says the fires
did serious damage. The township of Kai-
tuna, near Fielding, was all burned but
one house.
The West Australia Uitlanders are great
ly excited about the new mining regula-
tions, which prohibit alluvial miners from
sinking below ten feet. The object is to
prevent common pick and shovel swing
ers' from getting down to bedrock and
entering upon reefing branch mining in
dustry.

WILL BE THE FIRST TO RECEIVE
ATTENTION
INCREASE OF ARTILLERYMEN
Will Meet With No Opposition in the
House-Hawaiian Annexation
May Be Considered
Associated Press Special Wire

WASHINGTON, March 6-It is probable
that both the bill for the relief OF the sur
vivors and the victims of the Maine d!sas
ter and the senate bill creating two addi'
tional regiments of artillery with which tc
man the coast defenses will pass the house
this week. The former bill was held up
until it could be investigated, as 1t was said
that the special bill for the relief of the
survivors and victims of the Samoan
wreck In 1883 led to some scandal. That
bill was loosely drawn and it has been as
serted some advantages of its provisions
were4taRen. The present bill has been care
fully drawn and is now satisfactory 10
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the committee
on appropriations.
Practically all opposition to the artli-
lery bill has now disappeared from the
4 house The leaders were, 1t is SAID, IN
favor of delaying action upon it TO allay
public alarm, which might have been IN
tensified had it been rushed through the
house as it was through the senate. BE-
yond action on these two measures the
house program this week so far as is now
anticipated is entirely peaceful and has no
reference to possible foreign complications.
Tomorrow is District of Columbia day, and
Friday by special order, has been set aside
for the consideration of the Bowman act
claims bill. The Thorpe-Eppes contested
election case will occupy two, possibly
three days, and such time as remains Will
probably be consumed in the considera-
ton of the postoffice appropriation bill.
which Is expected to be ready by Wednes-
day.
Any unlooked-for development in the
Spanish situation might change the pro-
gram
IN THE SENATE
The senate bill will in all probability be-
gin the week with the consideration of the
bill making appropriation for the District
of Columbia, and when this is completed
will take up the conference report on the
legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill, which has been agreed upon
and will be made to the senate tomorrow
1t is considered quite probable that the
District bill will consume two or three days
or even more. One of the questions in this
bill which may arouse debate is the action
of the senate committee on appropriations
in striking out the item in the bill as 1t
came from the house limiting telephone
charges in the district. There will be an
effort to restore this provision.
The census bill, the Methodist book
agent bill and Senator Pettigrew's bill do
mating per cent of the proceeds OF sales of
public lands to the various states in which
the lands are located will contend for the
right of way when there are no appropria-
ton bills to receive attention, and it is as
yet uncertain which item will be first TAX
en- up.
All of these may be antagonized by the
Hawaiian annexation treaty, but the plans
of the foreign relations committee with
reference to the treaty are so far too indefi-
mite to permit any prediction as to what it
will do.

Consul General Lee has uttered 1.-THE Of

it is difficult to see why the principle Amer

WILL MAKE A
SPLENDID SHERIFF
ONE THAT EVERY CITIZEN WILL
FEEL PROUD OF.
Such Is the General Opinion Relative
to Henry S. Martin, the Re-
publican Nominee.

There is not a single nomination on
the Republican municipal ticket that
has aroused more enthusiasm than that
of Henry S. Martin, the candidate for
Sheriff. This enthusiasm is not con-
fined to the ranks of his own party,
but extends to the ranks of the OppO-
sition, and on all sides can be found
Democrats who are emphatic in their
determination TO vote for Mr.. Martin
for Sheriff.
This feeling relative to Mr.. Martins
candidacy is q fitting tribute to his
sterling integrity and distinguished
ability, and is all the more fattering
because Of its spontaneity. There is
not citizen Of San francisco who has
devoted more time and energy than has
Mr.. Martin in enterprises calculated to
advance and benefit this, the city Of
his birth. He was a member of the
finance committee of the Midwinter
Fair, and his efforts were directed with
great force, energy and intelligence to-
ward the success of the fair. He was
also treasurer of the Golden Jubilee
committee, and took an active interest
in the promotion of that memorable
event in California's history.
When elected to the high office to
which he aspres 1t viii be found that
the Republican party exercised rare
good Judgment in the selection of Mr..
Martin as it's candidate for this re-
sponsible position, for he Will make
splendid official, one whose record will
ever be a watchword for his successors
in the office.
