A reorganization ofthe Duluth, Pierre
q Black Hills Railroad Company has
been brought about during the last few
days. and while it is difficult to get any
particular details it seems evident to
those in a position to best Judge that
work will be begun at ironing the grade
between Aberdeen and Pierre within q
few weeks, and the road pushed on to
the Black Hills not later than next
year. A construction company has
been formed but everything has been
kept very quiet. Real developments
will likely show up in the near future. -

NEWS FROM FOREIGN LANDS
ENGLAND AND JAPAN FRUSTRATING
THE RUSSIAN BEAR IN THE
ORIENT.
PRINCESS OF GERMANY DIPLOMACY
Creates Intense SatisfactiOn-It Is
Reported the British Government
Has Arranged the Chinese Loan.
Servian Army ReOrganizes.

Berlin, Jan. 6.-The German press is
indulging in a tone of extravagant self
satisfaction over the success of German
diplomacy in China. The fact that En-
peror William personally conferred the
order of the Red Eagle on Baron Won
Buelow, the German foreign minister,
for his share in the affair, indicates that
the emperor is delighted with the out
come of his policy.
The newspapers, with the exception OF
Vossiche Zeitung, are full of sneering re-
marks at England's expense The Vos-
sische Zeitung, however, points out that
there is plenty of room for everybody
and even suggests that the time has ar
rived for "better understanding be-
tween Germany and England"
The rather apologize tone of the North
German Gazette in its semi-official arti-
Gle yesterday seems to be a reflection of
the feeling in some quarters that the
acquisition of a coaling station is hardly
the realization of the great colonial
grab.
1t is now discovered that if Germany
moves north she is bound to clash with
Russian interests; if further south, then
with the other interests. Already it is
proposed to establish branch of the
German Asiatic bank at KiaO Chau and
postal regulations will be issued. The
government is ordering the preparation
of maps and charts of the district and
the banks propose to begin the explora-
ton of the coal beds of the Shan Tung
peninsula Immediately.

FROM THE NATIONS CAPITAL
NO STEPS TAKEN TO FORECLOSE
AGAINST THE CENTRAL PACIFIC
RAILROAD.
UNITED STATES CONSUL3 CONFIRMED
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Took Up the Anti-Scalper's
Dill and n Hot Time Had-Pass-
encer Fares in the I. II.

Washington, Jan. cit is stated on
good authority that up to this time the
government has taken no steps looking
to the initiation of proceedings in fore,
closure against the Central racine ROAD
which is said to have defaulted in its pay
ments to the government on January 1.
1t is said, however, that representative
of the company recently had conference
with the president, Secretary Gage and
Attorney General McKenna with a view
to a final settlement Of the company $
obligations without placing the roads in
the hands of receiver. No definite prop
osition, it is understood was made either
by the cOmpany's representative or the
government, and nothing has occurred be-
yond the recent informal conference which
would indicate that serious effort was
being made to avoid q foreclosure suit.
What the government will ultimately do
in the matter can not be authOritatively
stated, but there are good reasons for
the belief that it has been the intention
for some time to begin legal proceedings
soon after the first of the year in the
absence of a satisfactory proposition for
n settlement. Owing to the many claims
and counter claims involved it is not pos
sible at this time to state the exact
amount in which the company defaulted
on january, but the amount of the due
and undue principal on that day was $1O,-
G14,371. The other items in the accounts
are: Balance of interest due the United
States, $50, 1851, 719, bonds redeemed by
the government prior to January l,
accrued interest, 500, 1913.
Against this total of $53,045,1 72 the COM
pany has $7,513.650 in cash and bonds in
its sinking fund. There are also judg-
ments and claims against the government
unpaid amounting to $2,473,366, which
leaves n net balance on January l of
$3,O5S,1 On January 1, 1899, bonds
will mature to the amount of so. 197 900,

A report was current tonight that a
telegram had been received by the dem
ocratic leaders from John X. Mclean
requesting that his name be kept out of
the senatorial matter and urging the
democrats to agree upon candidate for
senator to defeat Mr.. Hanna. While
there was no positive confirmation of this
story, there were developments which
led to the belief that it contained some
truth. Last evening the Press, the local
democratic paper contained an editorial
advising the democratic members to vote
for n democrat for senator. Tonight
the same paper reverses its position
editOrially and advises the democrats to
vote for any republican to defeat Mr..
Hanna. 1t is also known that influence
is being brought to force all the demo-
Gratis into line. A number of these mem
bers have declared they would not vote
for a republican, and if they persist in
their attitude there will be deadlock.
The plan Of the anti-Hanna people is
said now to be to force all the demo-
Gratis into line and defeat Mr.. Hanna at
the outset. They are entirely on the
defensive now, and it is claimed long
deadlock would weaken their position.
There is no lack of confidence, however,
at the anti-Hanna headquarters, al
though the demands being made upon
the boiling republicans is increasing
every hour.

The Frozen North.

New York, Jan. ga dispatch to the
Tribune from Louisville says:
No matter what controversies arise,
Capt Svcrdrup, DR.. Nanscn's Norwegian
navigator, who directed the perilous
course of the Fran during the explorers
last expedition, will lead an exploring
party to the frozen north next summer.
The authority for this statement is DIR.
Nansen himself, who arrived in Louis
vile tonight. DR.. Nanscn said the Nor
wcgian government had already con-
scented to lend Capt. Sverdrup the Fran
and that the sturdy seaman will sail for
Smith sound and the uncXplored region
beyond early in the coming summer. He
will take with him about fifty men. DR.
Nanscn further said that Capt. Svcrdrup
would make no attempt to reach the
north pole, but would devote all his time
to scientific Investigations along the coast
of Greenland AS he did not know of
Lieutenant Pcary's intention while form
ing his own plans. DIR. NanScn does not
believe it would he IN act of discourtcsy
for Capt. Sverdrup To persist in carrying
ont his scheme and inaSmuch rs DIR.
hansen is convinced that Sverdrup con
ccivcd the plan at least ms early as peary,
he does not think that Pcary has Il prior
claim on the route and project, or that
he is entitled 70 any exclusive privileges
on the northern coast.

POOR OLD INDIANS,
The White Brothers PiOusIy Fixing
to Grab All Their TERRITORY

=" AL
Washington. Jan. 6.-Delegate Gala
han of Oklahoma introduced bill to-
DAY to attach the Indian Territory to
the Territory of Oklahoma and to erect
the two territories into one territory.
The bill includes all the lands of the
five tribes of Indians and the Quapaw
Indian tribes. The capital is to remain
at Guthrie and the territorial officers of
Oklahoma are to be the officers of the
new territory. The land to be attached
to Oklahoma is to be divided into six
counties, to be named Quapaw, Chero-
kee, Chickasaw. Choctaw, Creek and
Seminole. The present capitals of the
nations of these names are to be county
seats and Miami is to be the county seat
of the new Quapaw county. The terri
tory is to be divided into five judicial
districts. The criminal and civil juris-
diction and the procedure of the district
courts thus created are to be the same
as now fixed for Oklahoma. The new
territory is to be entitled to one delegate
in congress and the legislature is to con-
sist Of twenty-five members, thirteen
from the present Oklahoma and twelve
from the present Indian territory, the
house to consist of twenty-six from the
former and twenty-one from the latter.
The act is not to be construed to affect
the tribal relations or rights of any
tribe. The Oklahoma laws are to govern
the territory.
