The residents of Indian Territory are
putting forth efforts to induce Congress
to enact law giving them Territorial
form of government. A bill to accomplish
this end has been introduced in the House
by Representative Moon of Tennessee,
and recently a petition asking for the
passage Of the measure was presented.
1t was brought to Washington by Col.
Sam Powell, of Wagner. /. T.. and Mr..
j. ii. Maxey, jr., who were elected dele

tic. We have always insisted that after
they succeeded In stopping the coinage Of
silver they would start in to dispense
with the existing stock. This they pro-
posed to do by the Hill bill, which was
passed in the House by the Republicans
and opposed by the Democrats, which is
now pending in the Senate. Under ex-
isting conditions we have about 5000, ,000,-
900 of silver, represented by silver cer-
tificates and in general circulation. They
form one-third of our metallic money,
and are indispensable to the transaction
of business. These certificates are backed
by full legal tender of silver dollars in
the treasury. The bill which passed the
House gives the Secretary Of the Treas
ury the power to melt up all these silver
dollars, thus retiring the certificates, and
xecoin the dollars into small coin-10-cent
pieces, quarters and half-dollars-which
will not be full legal tender and of
which only small amount is needed. If
this is done we will then have cry that
this silver can be put to no use, and then
the proposition will be to sell it, like old
junk, as bullion, thus further depressing
the silver market and producing at the
same time contraction of our volume Of
money"
ON ORGANIZED LABOR.
On the question of organized labor Mr..
Newlands said:
81 believe that the organization of the
laborers Of the country in unions and
federations is doing much to turn the
labor of the country, on which all wealth
is based, to a proper comprehension Of
rational system of government. In the
meetings Of these unions and declarations,
and in their newspapers and periodicals,
all questions relating to social science,
the relations Of capital to labor and the
relations of government to the happiness
and prosperity of the people are being
more Thoroughly discussed and considered
than anywhere else.
II believe it should be the policy of
the Democratic party to cooperate with
and seek the support of these great or
CARNATIONS, and thus make itself what it
has always claimed to be-the party Of
the people,"

The main tunnel in the labyrinth is
2,640 yards, long ana is built of brick
with a marched roof. 1t is lighted from
above by circular windows OF plate
glass twelve feet apart, between which
are gas jets for night illumination.
The skylights stand about two feet
above the surface Of the ground and
have the appearance Of huge eyes. An.
other tunnel was planned for a car
riags way. There is a maze Of private
tunnels, through which three persons
can walk abreast. They are comfort
ably heated and r lighted like the
main tunnel. All this is a remarkable
monument to human eccentricity, but
none of the late dukes friends appar-

ownership of a large part of London

accept the dukes ecc%entricities as a

1t is largely because Of the under.
ground apartments constructed by the
duke that Welbeck is to-day one Of the
greatest curiosities in England. The
duke had a passion for architecture
and much of his vast income was spent
on the estate and it's buildings. 1t is
estimated he spent from SIC, 000, 900 to
SIS ,000, 900 on his subterranean works
alone. The usually accepted theory for
the creation of the wonderful system
OF underground chambers and roads
was the desire of the duke to give en-
ployment to the neighboring poor, to.
ward whom he was always considerable.
Welbeck is an immense, stately and
sad looking building, and the tunnels
burrow beneath the park in every di-
recticn. There Is a subterranean pic.
ture gallery that is larger than any
other private gallery in England.
Among the other underground halls
were a large riding room, a dining
room, a ball room, a chapel, and baths
like those of the Romans. 1t was re-
ported that it was no uncommon thing
for the duke, after an absence, to reap
pear in the dining room at dinner and

1t is a sad parody on life to see a

which has never received his approval.
It Is pitiable to see a youth, with the

a mean, contemplate occupation.
which dwarfs his nature, and makes
him despise himself; an occupation
which is constantly condemning him.

the splendid abbey he made his way
into the Baker street bazaar through
one of its hidden tunnels and became
transformed for the time being into the
tradesman, Charles Thomas Dcuce.
After attending business for a time the
merchant would disappear by way OF
his labyrinth, be gone for several
weeks, and then return to resume the
conduct of his affairs, as though he had
been absent only a few hours. Mrs.
bruce. in short, maintained the duke
and the merchant were the same per-
son and the father of her husband.
She made desperate efforts to have
the coffin of the elder bruce unearthed
for examination, stalking her case ON
the belief that it would be found to
contain a quantity Of lead pipe instead
of the remains of a human body. One
would suppose the man who Inherited
the Druce fortune would have acceded
TO such a proposition for the purpose
of disposing of the controversy then
and there. but he fought 1t at every
stem and succeeded in preventing the
examination even after permission had
once been granted. This seemed to
lend color to Mrs. Druce's charge OF a
bogus corpse.

st. Paul, March S.-Attorney General
Douglas intimated last evening hat as
a last resort quo warranto proceedings
might be begun against the Great
Northern railway, contemplating the
forfeiture of its charter, If necessary
to prevent the merger under the North
ern Securities company.
Lawyers profess to have discovered
that under the decision of the United
States supreme our denying ~jurisdic-
tior in the states attempt to begin ac-
ton against the merger the state is
barred absolutely from further pro-
ceediDgs.
The court held that 1t had not juris-
diction because The Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific were not made
parties to the suit. But, lawyers argue,
If the roads were made parties, the
court would not have jurisdiction, be-
cause they are citizens of Minnesota,
and, therefore, the case is
Not for the Federal Courts.
Nor could the state begin action In
the state courts, because the Northern
Securities company is a New Jersey
corporation, and, therefore, not within
the jurisdiction of the Minnesota
courts. Therefore, lawyers argue, the
state is blocked n proceedings against
the merger unless congress passes rem
edial legislation.
Neither Attorney General Douglas
NOT M. d. Mum, associated with him
in the states actions against the
merger. were willing las. night to agree
with the position that Minnesota has
no redress in any courts. Neither would
the states counsel say positively that
there is a redress, and If 10, what It is.
Both, however, gave the inference that
they believe something may be done IN
the state courts, # not directly against
the Northern Securities, then In such a
way as to prevent the merger.
