MISSOURI DEMOCRATS QUARREL.
Might Have Come to Blows Had It Not
Been for Champ Clark.
IrRoM THE TRIBUNE DUEEAU.I

Washington. March As an Illustration OF the
perfect unity and harmony prevailing among Ms
souri, Democrats the angry alteration to-day be-
tween members OF its delegation in the House is
interesting and instructive.
As has been told IN these dispatches the can
di6acy OF Joseph Folk OF St Louis. for Governor OF
Missouri is a trial for the machine. whose IN
disputed boss barely escaped term OF mprisOn-
mcnt OF which he was put IN peril through the
efforts OF Folk prosecuting attorney. In the
present Congress are machine Democrats owing
their position the discredited boss and anti
machine Democrats. who are Houtspcken IN their
advocacy OF the nomination Of Folk. IN the Demo
cratic cloakroom to-day these two factions clsshed
and had # been for Champ Clark whose
strength and stature admirably 1T him for the role
OF peacemnker. II is probable that blows would
have been exchanged.
The Missourians were discussing the convention
IN Clayton. St Louis County. where the Folk men
were driven from the courthouse by the anti-Folk
faction amid scenes Of the greatest confusion.
Representative Hunt. who says n The Record"
that he IS 'stonecutter BY profession" and is an
all around sport and athlete intirnated that those
OF his colleagues who hailed from the State outside
OF St Louis practically worthless from every
point Of view. and that their political attitude in
the FOLK fight was beneath contempt Mr.. Cochrane
replied in bitter denuncauou OF the ant-Folk men,
renarng. IL IS said, that their methods Of conduct
ing elections were not only dishonest. but abhorreut
clared that If Joe" Folk should be defeated in ST.
taat his defeat would be accoTBished by the same
system OF fraud thar elected Rollo Wells Mayor %
that city.
This was TOO much for Hunt who advanced
threatenngly on the rolypOly Cochrane and it was
~ this point that Champ Clark inrerfered and
literally carried Cochrane out OF harms way.
Some picturesque language used. and the BIT
OF the verbal attacks ledt fears OF serious
consequences After quiet had been partially re-
stored hir. Hunt. 81 the urbane and dignhed
manner which generally cf--racterizes his utter
ances. announced that he would lick the entire
Missouri delegation, which talked too much any
how n necessary

factions. Iu the judgment % conservative Demo

CALL FOR PAYNE'S REPORT

No Congressman Liable to Indict-
'nent-ReUiSiOn of Lac Expected.
FROM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.

" ASnlnston, March 2.-RepTesentative over
street. chairman Of the Committee on Postofices
and Fostroads. to-day acknowledged that the
special report Of Postmaster General Payne, de-
scrlbed exclusively in The Tribune Of yesterday
morning. was in the possession Of his committee,
and expressed the opinion that in view Of the
publicity given TO the matter. the report would
be made public at an early date. Members gen
orally are uneasy unedr the implied accusations
IN the press. and most Of them believe that it
would be better to face publicity than 10 endure
the present condition Of underlined suspicion. As
result, great pressure IS being brought to bear
on the Pcstodice Committee to make the report
public It is conceded. however. that no such
policy would have been adopted had not The
Tribune made public the fact that such a re-
port had been received
\ careful examination Of the document does
not reveal any instance in which a member of
Congress has rendered himself liable 20 prose-
cutlon. as has been stated. The facts are, as
told in these dispatches. that the report simply
recites instances where members Of both houses
Of Congress and Of both parties have. conscious
" or unconsciously. laid themselves open to
criticism by violations OF law. largely technical
in their character. in some instances attended
with considerable improperly.
i is conceded by the more thoughtful mem
bers Of Congress that the effect Of this report
and the publicity given 10 it viii be beneficial.
One Of the chief advantages win be a new Illus
tration Of the Presidents maxim, that the
forcenent Of bad law IS the surest means Of
erecting its repeal For number Of years
members Of Congress have chosen the line Of
least resistance, and have secured privileges for
the postoi1ces and postmasteTs in their States
ana districts. often fully warranted by the con-
oitions. but prohibited Ey autiquated statutes
and IN the form Of favors from the postal off,
Gals rather than cxpend the energy necessary
10 effect the revision OF the laws. With Beav-
ers and Machen IN charge Of two Of the most
important divisions Of the Postoffice Depart
ment this method of procedure always
easy for nothing pleased those officials better
than placing members Of Congress under obliga-
lions. anC especially was this the case when "A
member q Congress could be led into asking IN
writing for some technical evasion OF the law In
order that Justice might be done in particu
lar instance. Such letters We're treasured by
these crafty 'Erafters." and were counted to
help them out OF any difficulty they might en-
counter in their own grave violations Of law.
Now. however. some serious thinking is being
done. and the end viii probably be some impor-
tant revision OF the laws governing postal ar
fairs at the next session Of Congress. If not at
this.

A special from Bonesteel, S. D.,
says:
From the looks of this town, the
very newest n in the great west,
everybody has taken to the roads that
lead, via Bonesteel, to the Rosebud
Indian country, a large part Of which
Is to be thrown open for settlement
early next week.
In the town proper, hundreds of
these seekers after Rosebud lands
are camped in tents and wagons, while
still others are gathered into the
dozens of frail rooming houses which
have been hastily thrown together.
Two years ago Bonesteel consisted
of one lone general store. Two months
ago it was a city Of 1000 souls, On
July 4, it is estimated that $4,000
people will be here.
On July S Commissioner of the
General Land Office Richards throws
open the doors of the new city hall
and admits the waiting throngs to
the registrars. Never in the palmy
days of Deadwood was gambling more
rife than in Bonesteel, and yet there
is no lawle$ yness. Next week the
number of officers will be increased to
fifty, ten of whom will be United
States marshals. Additionally, there
will be three companies Of United
States regulars from Fort Niobrara
who will assist in preserving order.

awful in this town. James Coyle owns
a small sized lot on Main street.
Three weeks ago he valued the lot at
$4,000. Today Coyle asks $4,000 for
the ground rent for the next sixty
days, any building erected to remain
on the lot when It is returned to
him. And he will get his price, too.
A fiye-room residence is rented for
the next two months at $3.50 tper
month.
And vet with these fabulous prices
tn. hest meal in town can be bought
for fifty cents. and a good one can
be had at from fifteen to twenty-five
cents. Cots are priced at twenty-five
cents and rooms for two at only fifty
cents for each person.
Oklahoma will probably furnish
more would-be homesteaders than any
state in the union. Michigan and Wis.
consin come next, while Iowa and
Illinois will also be heavily represent
ed. Minnesota and Nebraska will
send large quotas and numerous in
quiries have been received from
Kansas. @E II
Already people are preparing to get
in line and have arranged relays from
their own families to replace each

of waiting. From present appearances
the line will be formed several days
before the morning Of July 5, when
