Order

Secretary Of the Interior Issues an
order.
The Pierre land Office has received n
copy of decision by the secretary OF
the interior, which viii be of interest to
all who contemplate taking homesteads
at the present time. The decision was
rendered Aug 25 1901, in the case OF
Heirs Of Isaac ". Fry, VS.. Christian C.
Kuper which was taken up from the
Mitchell land district The holding is
u the effect that homesteader who
commutes or makes cash entry at the
end of fourteen months residence. is
entitled TO consider the first six months
from the time Of Cling as constructive
residence" as well as in the party who
lives on the claim for the full five years.
The effect of this is that the home
steader need not make residence on his
land until the end of the six months
after filing, and at the end of eight
months more he is entitled to the right
OF cash entry. OF course, the residence
must be commenced before the expira-
tion of six months after filing, but all
the time from the date OF filing is al
lowed to count in the fourteen months
required to make the cash entry.

Farmer Paid a Stranger TO Locate n
Flow for Him.
Sioux Falls. s. D., Jan. 81 - Joseph
Tholey. Roberts county farmer, has
for some time been very anxious to
strike good flow of water on his farm.
The other day a stranger came along
and told him that for certain sum OF
money he would tell him exactly where
to strike water. The stranger had
willow stick. and after walking around
with it for some time, stopped and said:
Right here is all the water you and
your neighbors need, and eighteen feet
Is as deep as you win have to dig"
Tholey paid the CRATER his price and
then commenced to dig He dug eigh-
teen feet without striking a drop of
water. and then dug eighteen feet more.
when he struck stone that was about
eighteen feet across. Tholey now adj
mits that the stranger was faiir, and
hereafter men carrying willow sticks
who trespass on his farm will be greet
ed with a shotgun.

In the senate.

Washington, Jan. 20. - A Philippine
storm was central in the senate cham
Der yesterday for nearly three hours,
but was void of definite results At
times it looked very serious, and the
spectators who thrCnged the galleries,
watched it with breathless interest.
Acrimony in senate debates is not
infrequent, but old senator's say 1t has
been years since there has been such
hurricane of bitter vituperation. of
personal taunt of ugly charges and of
unmodified criticism as was witnessed
yesterday Not since the discussion of
the resolutions Leading up 70 the Bic
Iano-American war have any scenes
occurred in the senate comparable with
yesterday Even that debate lacked
the personal bitterness manifested at
times yesterday. Irritation was aroused
on both sides of the chamber, and once
or twice personal encounters between
senator's seemed imminent Once when
Senator Teller
Tainted the Republican
senator's by declaring they knew the
statements made in a recent dispatch
from Manila, in which Gen. Wheaton
was represented as cTiticising the OPP
ponents OF the governments policy in
the Philippines were true, half-dozen
Republicans were on their feet in an in
slant. Senator Lodge, at whom the
taunt seemed 20 be aimed particularly.
hurriedly crossed from his seat in the
center of the Republican side TO the
main aisle of the senate, and. white to
the lips, passionately challenged the
statement of the Colorado senator and
demanded that he withdraw IL. Sena
tor Teller so modified the statement
that further hostilities at that time
were averted.
On. of the sharpest colloquies Of
the session was between Senators
Spooner of Wisconsin and Tillman OF
South Carolina. The race problem.
involving the lynching of negroes was
interjected into the controversy ana
much feeling was manifested by both
senators. In the course of the colloquy
Mr.. Spooner declared that if
The same Rule
were to be applied to the colored peo-
pie in the Philippines as Mr.. Tillman
referred to in the South, then God
help the colored man in the Philip
pines"

ator passionately. You have already

er, ito kiln meI with arms in their
hands against the government and
against the flag. 1t is another TO burn

Senators I'm their excitement seemed
for the moment to have forgotten the
subject Of debate.
Prior To the outbreak on the Philip
pines question the senate concluded the
consideration Of the bill establishing
department of commerce ard passed 1t.
The name OF the new department. was
changed to that of the department OF

acrimonious, officers in the Philippines
being taken abruptly 10 task for state
ments attributed to them in dispatches
from Manila.
Rising to a question of privilege early
in the session, Mr.. Dubois of idaho had
read an Associated Press dispatch from
Manila In which Gen. Wheaton was
quoted as criticising some utterances
OF Prof Schurman in q speech deliV-
cred in Boston. Mr.. Dubois thought
the president. in The circumstances,
would be warranted in reprimandinS
Gen. Wheaton for his criticism. He
Geclareu that such comment upon the
action OF the senate was outrageous
and indecent" and that the minority
had had quite enough of threats ana
blackmail The debate, thus preciCi-
tated. took wide range. Mr.. Lodge
of Massachusetts Mr.. SpOoner of Wis
consin, and others maintained that TO
newspaper utterances ought to be ac-
cepted as the basis ot a reprimand of
any officer unless it were supported by
an investigation indicating the accur-
acy of the report.
