Senator Pettigrew rather got even
with his republican opponents IN the
South Dakota legislature when he tool
the resolutions they had passed and sent
him and presented them to congress.
The resolutions favored placing the rail
roads of the country directly under con-
troll of the interstate commerce commits
sion, in favor Of postal savings banks and
to repeal the law giving Indian reserva
tons immunity from paying taxes.
The legislation asked for, he SAID in
presenting the resolutions to congress, is
not in harmony with the republican par.
ty. The resolutions are populistic and
socialistic, and directly opposed to the
doctrines Of the republican party.
"These resolutions clearly show" said
Mr.. Pettigrew, shat the people OF South
Dakota, at least, are preparing to leave
the republican party, as they differ
from it on every principle on which it ie
founded. These resolutions indicate
the drift Of the republican sentiment in
the west, which is opposed to the policy
OF imperialism, the policy OF expansion
and the policy OF plutocracy."

Travelling by sle9se in Siberia in

We had chartered six sorry looking
horses to drag us on to the next stage.
1t was night when we started. The driv.
er, maudlin drunk, had to be helped
to his seat, and we set off along the
narrow roadway at the usual gallop,
which, however, soon dwindled into a
mere shuttle through the snow. We had
gone to sleep, and some hours after our
departure Gaskell woke me and said he
thought something was wrong.
The sledge was at a standstill, and
our shouts to the yemshik brought no
response. Black darkness prevailed. l
bundled ont of the sledge, so benumbed
that could scarcely move. l felt along
the sledge, sinking to my knees in the
snow.
The drivers perch was empty, and
just then l stumbled over one of the
horses, which was lying buried up to
it's neck. 1t was clear that the driver
had fallen from his seat, and that the
horses had wandered from the track.
The poor beasts were stuck fast, and a
closer inspection showed u of them
to be dead, literally frozen to death. If
we would save ourselves from the same
fate, prompt action was Necessary.
The other horses were nearly sue
cumbing. They lay fiat on their stom-
achs and nibbled at the snow. We cut
the dead animal adrift, and, using the
spare rope as whips, we stood on either
side OF the living and dashed them till
our arms ached. At length they moved.
and by pushing and pulling we got the
sledge turned. Then, step by step, with
much f%oundering and many falls, we
