These Pierre excursions are a picnic
for Huron and that town would like
to have the capital fight run over an
other year-if the Pierre dough would
hold out long enough. The excursions
have to lay over at Huron and rest up,
get their laundry and notify their
friends of their whereabouts, ETC., all
OF which contributes to the hotels,
drug stores, barber shops. restaurants
and so on. The saloons OF course do
not share in the traffic, as the "iSign-
edl Pierre Board Of Trade" declares
that none of the excursions drink
beer.

La situaci6n de Haiti
ES BASTANTE SERIA

Sc ha recibido en- Washington una
1arga COMMUNICATION por correo del mi
nistro de los Estados Unidos en- Haiti,
Mr.W.F F. Powell, que dice pinta un muy
grave estado de cosas y las antlc1pa
mas graves adn para 10 futuro. La
causa principal de la irritacion es Ia
antipatfa popular que hay contra los
sirios. que Sc han apoderado del Co
mercio interior de la isla y dejado en-
la ociosidad los negociantes del pals.
Estos sirios, de los cuales hay una
playa en- Nueva York, son negocian-
tes e indus;riosos, que encuentran fa-
Gil de acaparar el comercio entire pue-
bios improvidentes como el haitiano,
que en- este respecto, eS ldentlco al
turco.
Las matanzas de sirios y armenios
en- Turqu1a que tan menudo suble-
van ell espiritu de la cristiandad no
tienen generalmente otra causa nj otro
origen. Siendo los turcos una gente
POGO despierta, Sc les engafla con fa-
cilidad; pero cuando caen en- el enga-
no, entonces recurren al alfanje.
Los haitianos sc han propueSto Sos
tener una repnbllca negra y logradolo
hasta ahora.
Al efecto, ningdn blanco, y menos
extranjero puede poseer bienes rafces
por derecho propio en- Haiti. Han
decretado la expulsion de los sirios,
dandoles medic afio de plazo para
realizar sus negocios, y en- justification
de su acto dicen que tanto derecho
tlenen el1os excluir los sirios como
los Estados Unidos excluir los
chinoS.
Pero de la communication de Mr.
Powell no Sc desprende que Ell Pre-
sidente Nord intente convertirse en-
I'm segundo Juan Jacobo Dessalines
y ordenar in degiiello general de
blancos.
Es simplemente Ell instinto de con-
cservacion que hace yer los haitianos

reponderancia de su raza tan prontc
Como su pals empiece blanqsear.

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
LONDON, Feb. 2.-The king opened
the last session of the present parlia-
ment in speech today from the throne.
He dwelt at length on the progress of
arbitration and expressed a hope of
peace between Japan and Russia, after
friendly utterances regarding the
United States.
He referred to the Alaskan decision
saying that on some points it was fav-
orable and on others adverse. Much
as the last circumstances was to be
deplored it was nevertheless a matter
for congratulation that a misunder-
standing in which ancient boundary
treaties made in ignorance of the geo
graphical facts are so fertile have in
this case been finally removed from the
field OF controversy.

the specifications under which tho

several thousand dollars.
Mr. Briggs. testified that he didn't
know how these changes were made,
or by whom they were made. The con,
tract under which the work is being
done provides that the city engineer
shall employ an Inspector, and that
such inspector shah be under his di-
rection and control, while the original
contract provides that the city council
shall employ such inspector and that
he shall be under his control.
Upon this evidence being introduced
Bender G. Lingenfelter, attorneys for
defendant. again moved the court to
discharge the defendant, and upon pre-
sentation of the motion, Attorney Ben
der argued that the city council had no
right to appoint a sewer inspector and
that in so doing the city broke its con-
, tract with Naylor & Norlin and were
interfering with the terms of the con-
tract. and that it was conclusively
shown that the sewer inspector was
not an officer and in fact had no right
to be upon the line Of the sewer, and

VAR rumoS from the far cast break aeSh with the assertion immediate action

that Naylor & Norlin had the right to
take any measures to do away with
such inspector and that if it should APP
pear that any offer was made the in
spector by Naylor & Norlin, or by the
defendant, that such offer was ligiti-
mate and within the terms of their
written contract with the city.
Mr.. Bender. claimed that the defend
ant had some rights that were guaran-
teed him by the constitution which
were as sacred to him as the rights of
the county attorney were to him, one
of which was to a speedy trial, and
that the evidence to show that the
old city council had submitted GER
tain contract to prospective bidders
and thereafter had entered into a diff
ferent contract with Naylor & Norlin
was no evidence pertaining in any
manner to the guilt or the innocence or
the defendant; but was merely drag
ging the defendant into a matter with
which he had nothing to do and for
which he was not in any manner ac-
countable.
The court overruled the motion by
stating that it was too bad the de-
fendant had got mixed up in this
matter, but that the county attorney
would be permitted to go into the full
investigation of the sewer matter even
