The Legislature OF South Dakota
Gets Down to Real Work.
PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 5.-(Special.)- y
After considerable discussion in joint
session today the governors message
was read, but the feeling was express
ed that the message should have been
presented by the governor himself, in
stead of being sent to the session by a
clerk. After the reading of the mes
sage, Speaker Somers announced the
house standing committees, and nine
bills were introduced and filed, but
were not read. The first bill offered
was by Glass, and reduces the interest
rate to 10 per cent. Other bills are
to amend the election law, to restore
the circles at the head Of tickets; to
provide the manner of cCntesting state
offices and the securing of the recount
of the vote; to provide for the carry
ing out initiative and referendum; to
r.ake notes and mortgages uncoilect-
able unless stamped for taxation: the
protection of fish, and allowing honor
ably discharged soldiers and sailors
free admission to state educational in
stitutions.

MACON, Ga, Jan. 5.-Congressman
Charles F. Bartlett, who has gone to
Washington to resume his official du-
ties, expressed himself before depart
ing on two questions which the
country at large is deeply interested
in. The question raised by Mr. Bailey,
the Democratic leader of the house,
as to the rights of any member Of con-
gress to hold his seat while serving in
the army and the question of the Phil
ippines. In reference to the state
ments in the papers criticising Mr..
Bailey as attacking Gen. Wheeler,
said Mr.. Bartlett:
Il must say that I feel assured that
the conditions as they exist in the
house and the resolution which Mr..
Bailey has introduced are not under
stood. I think that Mr. Bailey did the
proper thing in introducing the reso-
luton, which simply directs the ju-
dietary committee of the house to in
quire whether any member of the
house has been appointed to and ac-
cepted a commission in the army
II am opposed to the United States
holding permanently the Philippine
islands. While I approve Of the terms
Of the treaty which requires Spain to
relinquish her sovereignty over them,
I will never sustain any proposition
looking to the government acquiring
these islands permanently as part Of
our territory"

In the Philippines is due to what they
designate as overt unfair Treatment

They said that, despite the known
fact that the whole of the Visavas

take possession of the entire archipel-
ago and dispatch troops and warships

nos, according to the junta. are de-
termined to prevent the landing of the
Americans at Iloilo, and may, as
last resort destroy the city for STRAIT
egetical purposes.
The junta insists that a rupture of
the friendly relations now existing be-
tween the Filipino national govern
ment and the American executive is
imminent, and hostiiities are probable,
unless what they characterize as the
unreasonable, unfair and overbear-
ing policy of the Americans is modi-
fed. They say the Filipinos would
deeply regret such arupture, but would
accept it as inevitable. In concluding,
the spokesman said:
THE Filipinos appeal to the Ameri-
can people to uphold the rights of
mankind and TO avoid bloodshed. as
suring the Americans of our desire Ia
complete friendly settlement through
an impartial commission of inquiry.
The Filipinos Loyalty supported the
Americans against the common enc
my, and they now look to the Ameri-
can nation to fulfill the promises made
to Aguinaldo at Singapore, before he
proceeded to assist Admiral Dewey.

+ PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. 5.-Ex-
President Cleveland, in reply to re-
quest of a representative of the AS
sociated Press for an expression on the
question of expansion, said:
Il do not care to repeat my views
concerning the prevailing epidemic of
imperialism, and territorial expansion
Assuming. however, that my ideas on
subject are antiquated and unsuited to

surprise to me that the refusal of GER

ing them to our control and manage
plent should in the least disturb our ex-
pansionists
This phase of the situation ought
not to have been unanticipated nor the
incidents naturally growing out of it
overlooked; the remedy is obvious and
simple. The misguided Inhabitants of
our new territory who prefer something
different from the plan for their con-
troll which we propose, or who oppose
our designs in their behalf should be
slaughtered. The killing of natives has
been g feature of expansion since ex-

the prospective necessity of destroying
few thousand or few hundred thou

regarded as one stage in a transcen-

unprepared souls would then be lost
tefore we had the opportunity OF
Christianizing them, but surely those

much to encourage expansion could

canvass of the legislature on the ques-
ton of the members preference for
United States senator. The corre-
spondent says: Two weeks from to-
day Chauncey Mitchell Depew will be
elected senator. A World reporter
asked nearly every Republican senator
and assemblyman tonight who would be
elected. The answer Invariably was
."Chauncey M. Depew.' Congressman
Payne's candidacy is not regarded Sc
riously. The vote in both branches
of the Legislature and the full vote for
senator viii probably be as follows:
Senate, Depew 81, Murphy %; assem-
bly,, Depew 81, Murphy 63; totals, De-

against Margaret. She must be guilty
of all of which she was accused. Till
this moment I had hoped that this un-
certain vision might be the real culprit
who would eventually relieve \her of
blame. Since the distinct view I had
at last had of it, knew that the child
like face I had seen could not belong
to man or woman capable of entering
an enemy's lines, making drawings of
his works, and travelling miles over
muddy roads to transmit them to her
employer. Margaret, with her stronger
nature, might do all this, the young
girl at the window never. Margaret
had been stopped by us in the act of
carrying the plans. She had been in
terrupted by me in the attempt to burn
those plans. Finding herself foiled, she
had eagerly given her parole, only to
break it in order to transmit what in
formation she could to the confeder-
ates. She was desperate, treacherous
woman without a conscience.
