Attorneys for Mr.. Phillips Abandon
Proceedings Against Gov. Lee.

Attorneys for Mr.. Phillips Abandon
PIERRE, S. D., Jan. S.-The gov
ernorship contest has been abandoned.
This decision was reached by the Re-
publican leaders, as the expense at
tendant upon the proce edings was
great, and the conclusion reached by
Mr. Phillips attorney was that the
case could not be finished for several
months, and there would have been
little party advantage if he had been
successful in his taking the oath of
legislature.
This was the quietest Sunday ever
known in Pierre during session or the
legislature. The abandonment of the
governorship contest proceedings has
brought about a lull which may last Tor
weeks. or may be but the purcursor or
another and greater storm. Talk of a
general investigation committee mas
been abandoned. for the time being at
least. Populists and Republicans all
seem to be agreed that all pending mat
tiers and all matters referred TO IN the
governors message relating to ofncial
IRREGULARITIES can be left safely to the
attorney general.
Chairman Herreid of the Republican
state central committee, and United
States Marshal Kennedy, who had been
here on matters connected with the
contest, leave for home this morning.
Republicans talk of electing steering
committee to take charge OF party bliis,
and this will soon be done.

War Purposes Contract Calls
for the Payment of One Million
Dollars Annually for q Term of
Fifteen Years.

WASHINGTON, JAM 8.-The great
interest in Asiatic commerce, in which
other countries as well as the United
States are now interested, is illustrated
in a recent subsidiary agreement made
between the German government and
the Lloyd steamship line, by which the
former proposes to pay more than a
million dollars year for a fifteen-year
term for the establishment of steam.
ship lines to ply between it's ports and
those of Japan, China and Austria
ilasia and certain ports of Ocean
lea. -Four steamers are, under this con-
tract, to be built for the Chinese and
Japanese service to be Of not less than
5000 tons, and those for the Australian
line are to be not less than $500 tons.
All the ships are to be built in German
yards and German material is to be
used as far as possible, all admiralty
requirements to be carried out in them,
putting them into condition In which
they can readily be utilized for war
purposes when necessary.
1t is also announced that a British
concern intends to establish, with
steamers now being built for the pur-
pose, a steamship line on the Yang Use
Kiang in China to ply between Shang-
hal and Hankow. 5 By the aid of this
line, which will connect with the sub
sidiZed lines running from Hamburg
to Shanghai, German dealers and Ger
man interests will be In direct commu
nication not only with Shanghai, which
has two-thirds of the import trade to
China, but also with Hankow, one of
the most important commercial cities
in China, and having population Of
about 100000. It is now being con-
nected with Pekin by railroad. Ger
man exports to Asia and Oceanica
have more than quadrupled in the de-
cade ending 1896.

to the side of the window. with the
flames almost licking their faces and
the smoke binding and choking them.

they could do nothing else to aid
them. The two officers were obliged
