One of Their Schemes.

4. ,ITHIN ten days several Of the
\N/ organs of expansion
have become the ardent advo-
Gates Of a sixteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States; they
thus confess that the argument urged
against the fndiscriminate annexation
of distant islands is valid, and that it
cannot be met except by a radical re-
vision of our present federal charter.
The scheme is to have this proposed
sixteenth amendment forbid the crea-
ton of states out of any territory be-
yond the bounds of this continent unless
the legislatures of two-thirds of the
states within the continent consent
thereto. Why should the constitution
of the United States, under the pro-
posed amendment, be made the instru-
mentality for class distinctions in the
matter of the addition Of states to the
galaxy of states? Why make one star
this country's flag?
IF this amendment were passed"
says the Brooklyn Eagle. I'VE should be
saved from the fear that a temporary
condition in congress would ever force
nto the Union any people which the
people at large believe should not be
adm tilted" Now. will the Brooklyn
Eagle tell why, by territorial annexa-
tfon, we should expose the republic to
a peril that is admitted and then leave
the American people to be saved from
fear through the fundamentally of a
constitutional amendment?

CABINET DISCUSSES SOME MATTERS
Kansas City Foreclosure In Good
shape - Germany's Fruit Or
der MAY BE Right.

Washington, Feb. AT a cabinet
meeting the attorney general made
known the state OF the negotiations as
to the foreclosure and sale OF the Kan
sas Pacific. 1t was decided the out
look was very favorable for the gov
eminent. The decree of Germany
relative to American fruit was also
considered and figures produced TO
show the great importance of this
trade. A modification of the decree
as advised by Ambassador White, led
to the belief hat the matter is still
open to diplomatic adjustment. Sec
rotary Wilson stated that IL was un-
doubtedly true that certain well known
fruit diseases could be carried on the
fruit itself, and the infection commu-
nicated to healthy trees mt great dis
tances. 1t was explained that certain
states of the union I'm the past had pro-
hibited the bringing Of fruit from in
fected sections of other states. The
action of Germany, therefore might be
entirely proper and within its right.
There is no disposition on the part OF
the president o. members of the cabi-
net to PREJUDICE the case.

YANKTON WILL BE GAY.
A Grand Masquerade Is Scheduled
for the 14th.

Yankton, Feb. "A masquerade ball
IS to be given in this city February II,
ST. Valentines night. which promises
10 be an elaborate affair and is now
being anticipated with much pleasure,
ms it is to be given under the auspices
of the Maccabees. They have given
several entertainments in the past
which have demonstrated that any
thing they undertake will certainly be
success. This ball will be held at the
Pierce hotel, and the lodge is sparing
neither work nor expense. \ leading
feature will be the giving of four
prizes, one TO be awarded to the lady
! wearing the handsomest costume, and
q gentleman likewise. Then prizes to
the characters best enacted by both
lady and gentleman. The costumes
must be designed and manufactured
in lankton. The prizes will be yalua-

same purpose. 1t is probable that all
the other companies will appropriate
500. The department as a body is TAX
ing a great deal of interest in the com-
ing tournament and are using all
means to secure it for this city.
The organizing of a new association
is being advocated here that will. if
formed, be a benefit to Iankton Coun-
ty. The plan is that the association
lease all the wild land in Nankton
county for as long a term of years
as possible, and then assist landless
farmers to settle on and cultivate the
same. 1t is thought that a number of
thousand acres Of good land could be
leased by a responsible corporation
for a term Of years, just for the SIM
pie payment of taxes; also that numer-
u nonresident land owners would
willingly have their taxes paid, and
their land, which in many cases lies
useless, improved at the same time.
1t is understood that the late J.. a.
PiersOn left no will, and the selecting
of an administrator for the vast es-
tate is creating considerable interest
here, as the administration of his af-
fairs is of great Importance. IL is
stated that several legal firms are anX-
ious TO become attorneys in the mat
ter, and are doing considerable work
TO this end.

ATTACK THE BlAND-AlLISON ACT
A Friendly Suit In Michigan TO Test
the ConstitutionaIity OF
the Meusure.

Detroit, Feb. "a friendly suit in
%chancery was begun yesterday in the
circuit court at Pontiac to determine
the constitutionality of the Bland-Alli.
son silver act. Stephen Baldwin, n
Detroit capitalist, purchased some land
upon which there is a mortgage held
by Fred A. Baker, chairman of the
democratic state central committee.
Mr.. Baldwin rendered 364 silver dollars
i'm payment for the amount due on the
mortgage. Mr.. Baker declined to ac-
cept silver dollars unless enough OF
them were rendered to equal, at the
present bullion value of silver, 364 gold
dollars. Accordingly suit was begun
to obtain a decree compelling Chair
man Baker to cancel the mortgage and
accept the tender made.
EX-Congressman Timothy Tarsney
is compliments attorney and all the
parties are prominent silver men and
will carry the case to the supreme
court of the United States.
Mr.. Baker says: II will contend
before the courts that the Bland-Alli-
son act is unconstitutional because il
did not provide for free coinage. 1t
provided only that the government
should buy silver at its deprecated
price in gold and pocket the seignior-
age; yes, legalized the stealing of the
seigniorage."

BAR ASSOCIATION BANQUET.
il. Choatc. the Noted New
York Lawyer n Guest
of Honor.

Chicago. Feb. THE annual BAN
quet of the Chicago Bar association
was held last night. Joseph ii. Choate
of New York being the guest OF the
evening. Fully 300 of the leading at
torneys of Chicago were present nj the
banquet, and Mr.. Choate, who dely-
cred an eloquent address upon the
subject of "Our Profession" was fire.
quently interrupted by applause and
given an ovation as he closed.
He was introduced in a neat speech
by President Fallansbee of the Bar as
ISOLATION, and in response to the toast
spoke in part as follows:
al maintain that in no other occu-
patton to which men can devote their
lives is there n nobler intellectual pur-
suit or a higher moral standard than
inspires and pervades the ranks or the
legal profession. There is one respect
in which the American bar has far
outshone not only its brethren in Eng
land, but in every other country of
modern times. ] mean in it's great
share in the conduct and shaping of
public affairs.
II believe that with one consent the
common judgment of mankind would
point to Hamilton, Webster and Lin
coin as the three American lawyers
whose actual public services had most
largely contributed 10 the formation
and preservation of the constitution.
OF whose continuance the hopes of
civil liberty for all time depend.
But at all times. and especially in
this our day, great public duties await
MS. So long as the supreme court ex-
lists to be attacked and defended-that
sheet anchor of m liberties and of
our government; so long as the public
credit and good faith of this great ma
ton is in peril; SO long as the right of
property, which lies at the root of all
civil government is secuted, and the
three inalienable rights to life, to lib
erty and to pursuit of happiness.
which the declaration of Independence
proclaimed ard the constitution has
guaranteed alike against the action of
congress and of the states, are in jeop-
ardy. SO long will great public service
be demanded of the bar"

Is There u Row?

Pierre, Feb. There has been what
seems TO be a well grounded rumor
afloat here for a day or two that IA Sc
rlous breach has occurred between
Governor Lee and Insurance Commits
sioner kipp, who is one of the govern
ors a~ppointees. The story is to the
effect that the governor charged Ex-
aminer McLaren, of the insurance de-
partment. with conducting eXamina-
tions and making charges for the same
as did Anderson before the Office was
transferred, which practice was so bit
terly condemned by the populists, and
demanded the dismissal of McLaren.
The governor arrived here yesterday
morning and was in consultation with
an attorney for some time, after which
he denied there was any misunder.
standing, but all indications go TO
show that there has been, though it
probably has been patched up for the
present.

Chamberlain, Feb. 4.-The outcome
of the case of cattle stealing from W.

people in this section. Much bitter
ness has also been occasioned, and
some sensational developments are
Smith, who was held, in default or

eral grand jury to answer to the
charge of selling liquor TO an Indian,
had been ordered transferred to the
Sioux Falls Jail for safe keeping, when
the evening before his expected de-
parture Dinehart consented to sign a
pond TO secure his release. This ac-
ton was generally understood to mean
that in return therefor Smith, who was
supposed to know something concern
ing the cattle stealing case, had on
scented TO reveal the identity of the
thieves. 1t was also alleged that "a
Young man named Ora Arnell was i'm
plicated in some manner in the case,
and his departure about the time of
Smiths release for the interior of the
coded Sioux lands, at the time seemed
to bear out this impression. Your

Smith that his story in no way impli-
Gated young Arnell, but on the other
hand, if told in court, would emo 10

made several months ago, may return

FORTUNE SMILES ON Mr.. SHEETS
Receives a Government Position
and Strike a Rich Gold
Vain

Denver, Feb. 7.-Daniel l.. Sheets,
appointed receiver of the Durango
land Office in this state, is another eX-
ample of being overwhelmed with good
luck, like ex-senator Tabor.
About the LIST of January he renewed
work on an old claim in the La Plata
district, which he had owned for years
without getting any returns from the
property. In less than "a week he
opened up a vein of gold ore that
proved to be enormously rich. Sheets
was offered a round sum for the claim
on the new showings, but refused all
offers until last week, when he was
prevailed upon to sell a minor interest
in Southern Boy" for a sum that will
approximate $250,000. While the lucky
miner was closing his sale in Denver
he was notified of his appointment as
receiver of the Durango land Office.
Mr.. Sheets has already shipped from
his gold vein over $685. 0 worth of ore,
and proposes to develop the mine at a
rate that will surprise the people OF
southern Colorado.

BECOMING MIXED OVER
The CASE OF MCCOY
Il Is Now Understood That Senator
Hansbrough Recommended
Mccoy.
HIS CASE WILL Be INVESTIGATED
Senator Plat OF Connecticut on the
Trail of the Man From Aber-
demonstrating Set for
Thursday.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Unless Presi-
dent MCKINLEY concludes to withdraw
the name of Charles 4. Mccoy as In
dian agent at the Cheyenne reserva'
ton. the senate committee on Indian
affairs will consider the question OF
his confirmation next Tuesday. Sem
ator Plat of Connecticut has asked
that the ease go over for one week in
order that he might have an opportun-
ity to investigate certain statements
made TO him regarding Mccoy. This
request was granted, and, IL necessary,
Senator Plat will work for more time
to investigate the matter. IL Is prob
able that il the President does not
withdraw McCoy's nomination before
next Thursday a subcommittee Will be
appointed with Senator Platt as chair
man, to take charge OF the case. Nc
Coy, who seems TO be on very friendly
terms with Senator Hansbrough, was
found i'm the latter's committee room!
Yesterday. In answer to a question in
regard 4 his prospects for conhrma-
ton, he said that he had not seen chair
man P~ettigrew Of the Indian affairs
committee since his nomination., but
presumed that the committee would
take up his c~se next Thursday. II
has been charged that Senator Hans
brough was largely responsible for Nc
Coy's appointment, but this is denied
by Hansbrough. lie states that Nc
Coy's services to the party in South
Dakota entitled him TO a good place.
and il was not necessary for anybody
outside of his state to urge his APP
pointment.
Later-Senator Hansbrough said
Yesterday afternoon that he had reco-
mended McCoy's appointment, doing
so without any intention of interfering
in South Dakota patronage matters.
He had no idea, however, that his in
dorsement had been instrumental in
securing McCoy's nomination.
