THAT the purchaser of Il transfer

ed SO as to reduce the penalty for the

vide a penalty of $1,000 for the second
~of1ensc.
The proceedings Of the committee
we're of a more amiable character tl,,a
those of any previous meeting and the
decision TO report. the bill was reached
without division.
The amendment regulating the issu-
ance of passes was strenuously pressed
by Senators Tillman and Chandler.
Mr.. Tillman said that he would vote
for the bill if this provision was IN
.orporated. Senator Chandler is the
author of the amendment. He intro
auccd it in the senate as a bill several
years ago. Senator Tillman resurrcct-
I'd it and. through the assistance of
Senator's Chandler, Chiffon and others,
secured its incorporation into the bill.

ernment. The decree of Germany
relative to American fruit was also
considered and figures produced to
show the great importance of this

to the belief that the matter is still
open to diplomatic adjustment. Sec.
rotary Wilson stated that it was un,
doubtedly true that certain well known
fruit diseases could be carried on tn,
fruit itself, aud the infection commu.
nicated to healthy trees at great dis.
tances. It was explained that certain
states of the union iii 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 al

ParnIyzcd His own Party.

Huron, Feb. THE appointment OF
Charles L. Mccoy to the position OF
agent for the Indians at the Cheyenne
agency is n paralyzing surprise to re.
publicans here. Mccoy has long been
regarded as n resident Of Cripple
Creek, Colo, and his name had not
been mentioned in connection with the
position. 1t was generally supposed
that Senator Hatch of Potter county
would be named for the place. and
McCoy's appointment came like Il
thnnderbolt from a cloudless sky. His
appointment is another whack Al. the
boys in blue" for whom, there seems
to be but little regard in the selection
OF men for federal positions in South
Dakota. Potter county people will ap.
preciate the appointment less than any
other, as they have been several times
turned down in the selection Of mcr
for Office in their county-note the
Gettysburg postotfice and the Lebanon

ranks in Potter county may be looked
for next fall.
