REIGN OF TERROR EXISTS
Congressman Sims Gives His View of
Conditions in WASHINGTON.


Washington, Feb. 17.-The charge
that reign of terror exists in the
city of Washington was made in the
house of representatives by Mr.. Sims
OF Tennessee. He referred to the
robbery of a woman in front of the
British embassy and said it was the
tWenty-first of such crimes committed
In this city since September last. He
denounced the police force of the city
and referred to the fact that although
there was within quick call by tele-
phone a regiment of cavalry and a
regiment of marines their services
had not been enlisted to run down
the criminals, who, he said, were as
a rule negroes.
Mr.. Sims charged in reply to a
question by Mr.. Tawney (M1nn) that
the increase of crime in the District
OF Columbia was due to an inef1-
cient police administration. He de-
clared that at the present rate of
crime it would be necessary to have
a policeman at every corner.
These crimes, Mr. Sims said, grew
out of the sale Of cheap liquor to an
idle class of criminals who had mi
grated to Washington
."Close your 800 licensed saloons
here" he exclaimed, land there won't
be another of these occurrences"

How Indians Tan Deerskin.

The skin dressing of the Indians,
both buffalo and deer skins, is general
~ very beautiful and SOFT They
stretch the skin either on a frame or
on the ground, and after it has remain
ed there for three or four days, with
the brains spread over the feshy side,
they grain it with a sort Of ADJ or
chisel. After the process Of granting,
though the skin. is apparently beauti-
fully finished, it passes through an
other process-that Of smoking. For
this they hang the" skin on a frame
In smoke proof house or tent. The
fire is made at the bottom out of rot
ten wood, which produces strong and
peculiar smell. The fire must be smoth-
cred to make the smoke. The grained
skins must be kept in the smoke for
three or four days, and after this the
skins will always remain the same,
even after being wet, which does not
belong to the dressed skins in civilized
countries.-"Life Among the Indians"

He was once guilty Of an amusing
bull in debate on the question of dis
establishment. Dilating on the hold
held on the affections Of the people by
the Church Of England, he said
"When an Englishman wants to get
married, to whom does he go? To the
parish priest. When he wants hi
child baptized, to VII IN does he go.
To the parish priest. When he wants
to get buried, to whom does he go?''

laughter, in which MI. Ga lstone him
self joined, adding, "As was con
trasting the English church with thu
Irish, bull is perhaps excusable"

The Partitions of Poland.

There have been three partitions Of
Poland. The first was in 1772, when
Prussia took the palatinates of NAL
berg, Pomeria and Warmia, part Of
Culm and part of Great Poland. Aus
tria took Red Russia, or Galicia; a
part of Podolia, Sandomir and Cracow,
and Russia took White Russia, with all
the part beyond the Dnieper. The Sec
Ond partition was in 1893, by which
Prussia acquired the remainder Of
Great and a portion of Little Poland,
and the Russian boundary was ad~
vanced to the center of Lithuania and
Volhynia. In the third and final par
tition, in 1895, Austria had Cracow,
with the country between the Pilica
and the .Vistula Prussia had the cap
ital, with the territory as far as the
Niemen, while the rest went to Russia.

WHAT'S BOB'S GAME?

Charles B. Cheney had the folio "
ing interesting bit of political Cos
sip in the Minneapolis Journal of
Saturday:
There are developments in the
twin cities in the last few days that
seem to point toward A. O. Eber-
hart as the mysterious third man.
in the calculation of those who are
trying to play off Young and Jacob
son against each other and defeat
them both. While the lieutenant
governor has protested that he is
not a candidate, and his senatorial
friends have assumed that he would
be renominated to his present posi-
ton, there has been some quiet
booming in progress, looking to a
move that will make Eberhart an
active candidate for governor.
This doesn't mean that the field
will be confined to three. Peter E.
Hanson is also likely to be brought
into the game, aud there may be
others. The other day r. c.. Dunn
had a long conference in St. Paul
with his old friend William F.. Lee
of Long Prairie. 1t was understood
a while ago that Mr.. Lee favored
Young, and this promised a fight in
Todd county with Lee and ]. D.
Jones and their faction for Young,
while E. B. Wood, A. E. Sheets and
their followers would be for Jacob
son. Senator Wood was in
St. Paul yesterday, and said that
the sentiment in Todd county was
for jacobson, but that he did
not know what position lie e
would take. The Dunn interview
was unquestionably for the purpose
of swinging Lee in line for Jacob
son, or else making a candidate of
him. One surmise is that support
was offered to him as candidate
for the senate when Senator Nelson
