Washington. Feb. 22.-Applications

and seats in the senate chamber and on
the official stands Inauguration day are
coming in large numbers from all parts
of the country, but the same answer is

ball are issued to the press; not even for
the floor managers or the committee OF

Bismarck Hospitality.

Members of the press fraternity are
having nothing but good words for
Bismarck, ,1and one Of the heartiest COM
pliments comes from the Grand Forks
Plaindealer, which says:
The trip of the editors to Bismarck is
a thing of the past but will live forever
in the memory of each and every one of
those who attended. You may talk
about your excursions, you may view
the beauties of the Thousand Isles, you
may feast your eyes on the grandeur of
the Colorado mountains but to us who
attended the annual meeting Of the
North Dakota Press association give us
every time the open-handed and gener-
GUS hospitality displayed to us by the
people of Bismarck during the first three
days of this week. 4 r. -
b, Tits seldom indeed that any gathering
of ladies and gentlemen is greeted and
treated in the manner in which it was
the great good fortune of the press gang
to be feasted and honored during the
recent trip. go attempt to give thanks
to all who showed kindness and attention
to the pencil pushers would be to men
tion the name of each and every person
with whom we came in contact. Three
days, yes and nights too, Of complete
and unadulterated enipyment. Not Sone

Duchess of Manchester Has Land.

Duchess of Manchester Has Land.
Lisbon, N. D., Feb. 22.-The name of
the duchess of Manchester, formerly
Miss Helena Zimmerman, of Cincinnati.
is now ,shrined among the records of
Ransom county, North Dakota. A lis
pendens, in which Thomas B. Davis, an
attorney and real estate agent in Mime
apolls, is named as plaintiff, and Eugene
Zimmerman in his own behalf and as
trustee for the duchess of Manchester,
is made defendant, has been fled. The
object Of the proceeding-which is en-
titled in the fourth Judicial district of
North Dakota-is to give notice to all
whom it may concern that the plaintiff
claims an interest in a section of land
near Lisbon, the title to which is in Mr..
Zimmerman, the duchess father. al
though his daughter, too, may have
certain interest in it, if not the entire
fee, in case of Mr.. Zimmerman's death.
1t is said the duchess father has been
i'll for some time, and this case is evil
IDENTIFY move to prevent in case of his
death the transfer Of the land, and thus
defeat the rights of Davis therein.

among the half dozen people present to
bid, as they made no pretense otherwise,
the Hastings man among them. It is
also regulation of the department that
as soon as tract has been sold it shall
be paid for in cash. The Hastings man
had been advised Of this but insisted
upon paying for the piece he had bid in
with draft which the bank cashier had
refused to cash without certain en-
dorsement. The land officers wired the
situation to Washington upon the advice
OF the special agent of the department,
who was present, and received word to
postpone the sale. The whole trouble
lies in the fact that the land officers re-
fused to be worked by a lot of men who
combined to gobble the best land and
leave the balance on the governments
hands At least that is what the officials
aver and the circumstances favor this
contention.

San Francisco, Feb. 22.-The steamer

Captain Ward superintended the
loading Of the boats and then locked
himself in his cabin and went down with
the vessel. Ward had told the pilot to;
proceed through the fog against the
pilots wishes.
Some of the rescued say,a soon as the
seriousness of the situation became ap-
parent, the officers and crew lost control
and it was every man for himself. The
captains voice was heard above the
shrieks of women and bowling of Chinese
sailors ordering the men to save the
women.
In launching the boats confusion pre-
vailed, and one load of passengers and
sailors were dumped into the water and
drowned. -Four boats were lowered and

70 REDEEM BISMARCK

After All These Years of Misrepre-
sentation Newspaper Is to Be Es-
tablished That Will Reflect the Real
Thing in the Capital City and Puri-
fy the Political Atmosphere.
At last, according to Octopus" Bis
marck is to have frst-class newspaper
"a long-felt want in the Capital City
with abundant capital, push and brains
behind it to insure success. The ach-
ing void that has existed so long on the
slope is to be filled, we are advised about
April l, and then all can rejoice. Here
is what Octopus says:
1t is an open secret that Editor Nc
Gahan, who made the Devils Lake Free
Press such a successful newspaper in
that city by the unsalted sea over in
Ramsey county, is to establish, edit and
maintain q new. semi-weekly newspaper
in Bismarck. The material is now being
ordered, and every thing is to be ready
for issuing the new paper by April. The
new print viii lbe independent of faction,
straight repn blican and intense in ex-
pressions. There was chance, it is
said, for Nc to have gone to the Settler,
but he prefers to be absolutely free from
all alliances now existing, and will pub
lish q republican paper, toned and
out-spoken. Nc will devote his efforts
to purifying the political atmosphere
and toll the truth--let the chips fall
where they may. Years of observation
and personal knowledge of Mes editorial
,prochvities evidences to me that he'll
make it lively-for the other fellows.
It is said the new Office will be equipped
with Mergenthalers, type, book binding,
and will compete for business on lines
reg uiring the best Of service. The vari-
GUS departments will employ competent
printers, binders and expert department.
heads and be prepared to do any and all
sorts of work as we'll as any eastern
house and put men in the field to seek
for printing in North Dakota, much of
WHICH heretofore has gone out of the
state. Mr.. McGahan has the experience
and ability to handle the scheme.

That Land Sale.

The Tribune is advised that Octopus"
Is rather at sea in his Forum squib about
the recent land sale Of the Fort Steven
son reservation. He says a certain
Hastings man came here to buy the
buildings On the reservation but ran up
against men who wanted to hold him up
for a hundred Or so or make the cost
rather heavy, and kind of intimates that
Senator Lewis was in the deal-to,touch
him up, The facts of the matter show
that the Forum man WAS away off in his
premises and knew SO little about the
status OF the case as to warrant one in
the belief that he was straining point
to get a crack at his townsmap, who
probably had nothing whatever to do
with the sale or any Of the parties inter
ested therein and also to gire. out the
impression that the United States land
officers were conniving at a side rake
of. ~ 4 In order to show the fooIishness of
the charge it is but necessary to state
that the buildings on tie reservation
We're sold Dec. Is, 1897, for ss72.5C, by
Messrs Lamb and Kinter, the democratic
land officers, and the buildings were re-
moved within sixty days. Now, as to the
recent post nement Of the sale OF the.
ground The regulations of the land:
department require that when the land
officers are satisfied that attempts at
collision are being made BY bidders the
sale shall be postponed. In this case.
there was no question as to collusion.

THE SEA POWER OF JAPAN.

When the threatened war between
Russia and Japan actually breaks out,
as it is almost certain to do at an
early date, there will be desperate
fighting on the sea as we'll as on the
land, for each of the powers engaged
will have a strong navy. equipped with
all the latest and best means for rapid
and effective service. Japan, in par
ticular, has been making strenuous
efforts in the past few years to put
her navy on a footing equal with that
of any other civilized power. She
realizes fully that her insular position,
like that of England, requires that she
shall place the emphasis in the war
department upon the naval arm OF the
service 1t is for this reason that ia
pan has been spending money without
| stint during the past few years to
provide herself with the finest war
| ships that modern naval science can
devise. She can claim at this time the
largest battleship afioat IN the world
| the Mikasa, launched from an English
shipyard last November. This yessel
has an extreme length of 432 feet and
| a displacement of $3.50 tons. Japan's
| total naval force today consists OF
| seventy-five vessels; eight first-class
