1t was thought at the beginning OF
the session that ii would be necessary
to issue about $6S, 900 worth of emer-

OF the legislature together with the APP
preparations which would be passed.
There are already about $50, 900 worth
OF emergency warrants standing out
which will have to be met on the first
OF April. Treasurer Collins has made
q careful estimate OF the resources and
believes that unless the legislature
passes q large number of emergency
appropriation bills that there will be
enough to meet all outstanding emer-
gency warrants as they come due.

Pierre, s. D., Jan. 1.-THE capital
removal resolution came up in the

third reading and was passed by a vote
,of 20 to 16, with one absentee. The bill

At the present moment, when the Anglo

which at one time threatened a rupture
between them. Fashoda lies on the White
Nile. some 600 miles above Khartoum. It
was on Sunday. September A. 1898. that
Lord Kitchener entered Khartoum. On
September - he reached Fashoda, only to
find Capt. Marchand and 120 Senegalese
soldiers intrenched there beneath the
French flag Marchand had reached the
place on July TO- after encountering enor-

a diplomatic bearing saved the day, and on
December IL Marchand and his men re-
turned to France by the Sobat. Abyssinia
and Jibuti. France, of course, still feels
a little sore on the whole incident-need-

with due allowance for bias, a French view
of the situation at Fashoda at this moment.

direction Is being made.
Hunting for big game Is most vigorously

From the New Yorker.

FE0m ING NeW IUrKer.
At last one of the Newport grocers has
carried out his threat to sue. and it is the
name of J. Edward Addicxs that has been
made public with debt of $500 that has
run for over year. A sorry time, indeed
do these Newport tradespeople have. They
claim that the millionaires order royalty
and that their orders to leave the house are
quite as royal when a collector calls. 1t Is
impossible to get beyond the maids and
buffers. and anything more overbearing
than the average Newport butler or maid
would be impossible to find But there will
come a day when the harassed tradespeople
will make a stand and will refuse to be
swindled by people who have not the small

Widow Harrison is now forty years of age,

The opening up of northwest Canada
bids fair to rival that of the settlement Of
Oklahoma" SAID R. A. Bowers of VAN
couver at the ShoEeham. "Over 40 GU
American farmers settled In northwest
Canada during the past year. This number
will probably be doubled during the next
year. These farmers are emigrating from
Iowa, Nebraska. Minnesota and the Dako-
tas. The state of Washington will also be
benefited by this movement to the north
west, as the inducing cause OF the em.gra-
ton Is the cheapness and the fertility of the
wheat lands in that section. In many in
stances a number of prosperous farmers
have combined together, sold their farms in
the states and purchased large tracts In
the Canadian northwest. This has brought
about, so far as Canada is concerned, a
strong feeling of friendship between the
Canadians and the Americans. The wheat
fields have during the past twelve months
attracted larger immigration and a larger
investment of capital than did the gold
fields. 1t seems singular that the DakOtas
should already have become so settled and
the land SO high In price as to induce an
exodus west similar to that which formerly
drained the agricultural sections of the
