Washington, April 22.-During the
first and second sessions Of the fifty
eighth congress, which began Nov. 9,
northwestern members Of both houses
have been very busy and the results
have come up to expectations.
South Dakota representatives and
senators have been conspicuously sue
cessful in having bills enacted. One
proposal which has attracted as wide
public attention as any measure pros
ecuted in either house, is the resolu-
ton Of inquiry into the beef trust,
pushed thru the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce by his
colleague, Mr.. Burke, and passed by
the house without a dissenting vote.
Inquiries in pursuance Of this reso-
luton are. now being made by agents
Of the department of commerce and
labor in cities in which the so-called
trust operates, and in the cattle-rais-
ing country west Of the Mississippi
river. r.. f+,1-
Next In Importance, and OF more
interest locally than the Martin reso-
luton, Is the measure providing for
the opening Of all lands belonging to
the Rosebud Indians in Gregory
county, to settlement aid entry. This
by the president to-day and the lands
will be opened some time during the
summer.
A bill for the cession of $4,000 acres
Of land in the Lower Brule reserva-
ton has passed the senate and is now
pending in the house committee on
Indian affairs.
Other bills which have passed both
houses are those authorizing the state
Of South Dakota to select school and
indemnity lands in the Great Sioux
reservation and setting aside 5000
acres Of land around Battle Mountain
Soldiers Home at Hot Springs as a
public park, to be known as Battle
Mountain Sanatorium park. Two
bills authorizing the construction of
| bridges across the Missouri river at
Yankton have become laws. One is
| to be erected by the Yankton, Winni-
peg & Gulf Railroad company, and
the other by the Yankton, Norfolk
& Southern road. 49,"
In the general appropriation bills
provision has been made for an in.
Battle Mountain Soldiers Home al
Hot Springs, and for an expenditure
of 100000 on construction work al
Fort Meade.
An amendment to the urgent def.
cheney bill provides for the payment
| or $2O each TO twelve Indians who
rescued band Of white women and
children from Sitting Bulls camp al
Grand River during the Sioux insur.
reCtion.
This is a roundup Of the more i'm
portant legislation enacted thru the
efforts Of the South Dakota members
A number Of pension bills have beer
passed, and amendments to land laws
and others Of more or less local inter.
est have been enacted.
Senator Kittredge has forged to the
front this session, since the death Of

ure for the government Of the Pana

Carried to Scaffold
Murderers Meet Death
Fearlessly.

Chicago. April 22.-Compelled to be
carried to the scaffold, Peter Neider-
meier, leader Of the car barn bandits,
was hanged here to-day at 1925.
It was expected that Niedermeier
would be able to walk. to the gallows
but it was found at the last moment
that he was too weak. He was placed
on a truck, wheeled to one of the
lower floors of the Jail, carried to the
scaffold, placed in chair on the trap,
the rope was quickly placed about his
neck, and the trap was sprung.
Shortly after II o'clock, Marx was
led to the scaffold. He was pale, but
his courage never left him while he
stood on the scaffold. He made no
statement. Two priests Of the Roman
Catholic church, Of which Marx had
become a member, accompanied him
to the gallows. He repeated the lit
any with them, kissed crucifx, after
which the jailer adjusted the moose
and sprang the trap at lit.
Harvey Van Dine was hanged after
a short interval. He seemed to be
even more calm than Marx. Van
Dine made no statement of any kind,
but the prayer which he repeated
with his spiritual advisers was quite
audible when the trap was sprung at
1855 a. m.

PARKER MENACE
TO ROOSEVELT
President Views Rapid Growth in
Prospects Of Judge With
Alarm.


From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, April 22.-As an indi-
cation that Judge Parker will be the
strongest candidate the democrats can
nominate for the presidency, it may be
stated that his growing prospects are
not viewed with loud acclaim at the
White House. While the president
believes in the ability of the republic
cans to pull thru safely, and perhaps
by very large majority, he realizes
that Judge Parker will cause them a.
good deal of trouble in New York,
and Rhode Island, to say nothing of
Indiana and Illinois. So far as the
farther west is concerned, the presi-
dent has no fear.
The collapse of the Hearst boom
leaves very interesting question be-
What will the effect of that defeat
have on the democratic vote?
Hearst's defeat has been brought
about, in the main, by the very forces,
capitalistic and monopolistic, which
have so strenuously opposed President
explains the victory won by David Ben
nett Hill in the Albany convention. TIL
nett Hill in the Albany convention.
These interests, which at first pre-
ferred Cleveland, finally were COM
PEELED to unite on Parker, who will be
almost as acceptable to them as Cleve-
| land, and will poll a much larger vote.
Hearst's Use of Money.
Hearst's venal use of money offsets,
to some degree, the suggestion con-
tanned in the foregoing paragraph,
but that it will not wholly do SO, is
very generally conceded. For in
stance, there is serious danger that
Hearst's defeat will tremendously in
| crease the socialist vote in all the
great cities Of the country, notably
New York, Boston, the cities Of New
| Jersey, Chicago, Cleveland and San
Francisco.
This increase will be at the expense
| of the democrats, and, if it is, such
states as New York, Illinois, New Jer-
sey and California, where Hearst
| would have made an aggressive anti
trust campaign, ought to stand more
than an even chance of going for
Roosevelt.
! Judge Parker cannot make an anti
trust campaign. The forces behind
| him will prevent this, to say nothing
| of the presidents own record. The
vote of the democratic members of the
supreme court, which was solidly
! against the upholding of the govern
ment's contention as to the merger,
will furnish another reason why the
democrats, under Judge Parker, can
not make the trusts a leading issue.
| The bitter factional war which has
resulted from the action of the New
| York democrats at the Albany conven-
ton, will have an unfavorable effect
on the party vote in that state. This
being true, the republicans of New
York, who are also divided, will not
carry a. handicap at the polls. If
Parker should be elected president,
the Hill forces would control New
York, and Murphy might be endorsed
| as the leader of Tammany Hall.
Two Main Headquarters.
There will probably be two main
campaign headquarters for each party,

divorcing her from Herr Doeme made

New York Sun Special Service.
London, April 22.-Reports from
the far east this morning indicate that
the Japanese have attacked stimuli
taneously at three points
Arthur, Niu-chuang and on the Yalu
north of Wi-ju.
The reports are that the Russians
suffered heavy losses and that the
Japanese are advancing to the COM
plete occupation of the Liao-tung pen
insula
Details regarding the bombardment
Of Niu- chuang are expected later in
the day.
While yesterdays Russian reports
alleged that the situation at Port
Arthur was unchanged, it is believed
that the combined land and sea fight
there yesterday resulted in the fall
of the stronghold.
The reports are conflicting and
meager. It is rumored, however that
the battle on the Yalu was a pro-
,nounced Japanese victory and that the
Russians have been driven across the
Yalu and are retreating in wild dis
order, verging almost on a. panic, with
terrible losses which may mount up
into the thousands. The work Of the
Japanese artillery is reported to have
been very effective.
Port Arthur Doomed.

Toxic, April 22.-1n New York the
writer was one Of the mistaken few
who prophesied there would be no
war. In Toxic, he is inclined to go
further and protest that there is no
war.
He admits when he was in New York
there was a war. War filled the front
page of all the morning papers. In
the afternoon editions it's three let
tiers, In sanguinary pink ink, We're writ
large from margin to margin. Stocks
were affected.
Insurance rates became prohibitive.
Packing houses We're working over

you met was as intimately familiar
with the number of guns in the sec
o1dafy batteries of the RetvizanS and
the Shikishima as with the number Of
his own telephone.
Wherever you saw two men talking
together it was safe to wager one was
saying, They are wonderful little
people and that the other was reply
ing, Yes, but don't forget that in '64
the Rooshian fleet sailed right up the
lower bay and saved the Union.
There, in New York, war was the
only topic. People asked you If you

where between Seventy-second street
and Grants tomb.
But somewhere between Honolulu
and Yokohama, somewhere in the
deepest part Of the Pacific, we lost
the war overheard, and we have
neither seen it nor heard Of it since
I do not mean to say that If you go
to the war office here you will not
see the sentry, nor do I deny that if
you go inside you will see two order
lies.
You also will be received by various
officials, grave, courteous generals,
each apparently doing nothing by
himself, in a large, bare room hung
with a map or two.
He apparently has plenty Of leisure,
certainly enough Of it to enable him
to be polite. But he has no time to
discuss the probabilities Of Japan and
Russia being at war. He says there
may be a column which some day may
leave some place for somewhere and
do something, and If you are patient
maybe you, too, can go to that place.
That is all we who are bottled up
in Toxic know Of the Japanese war.
This morning we thought that at
last we had caugh them in the act
We woke to find the streets filled with
jubilant natives, and each waving a
flag; the hotel windows were hidden
with flags, they futtered from every
| jinkrikisha.
We rushed out to ask eagerly If
Port Arthur had fallen, to learn what
great battle had been won on the
Yalu. The interpreter regarded us
with gentle reproof.
To-day Is the spring festival" he
said. That means that to-day in
Toxic every one is rejoicing, because
at the Temple of Kawasaki a plum
tree has given birth to number Of
| blossoms.
But then why should the Japanese
| know anything of this war? They
| live SO far from New York.
