The Forum Saturday carried the
announcement Of the death of Col.
Wilbur F. Steele, and knowing that he
was quite a character in the early
days and that H. c. Plumiey general
ly knew something about these men,
a representative sought an interview
with the latter. Mr.. Plumley said:
yes, Colonel Steele was quite
character in the early history of the
territory, and there is a good deal
which I could tell about him, which
would be Of interest. With him it is
difficult to tell just where to stop. He
was a boomer of the most decided
type; one of the most optimistic men
I ever knew. His work did much to
advertise Dakota territory, especially
the western part of the state. He
opened a great wheat farm; also a
large dairy ranch, and put in blooded
cows. He shipped his eggs to st.
Paul. He set out a great many trees
to show that they would grow on the
western prairies. He was always
advertising the territory. He even
wore a coat in winter, which cost him
1000 bushels of wheat, but financially
he did not succeed.
HE was a man over six feet in
height, weighing about $50 to 2S0
pounds, of splendid physique, a clear
piercing eye, quick to act, whether in
a poker game or a business transact
ton, and had many warm friends. He
settled in Kidder county early, and
started the town named after him. He
wanted it as the county seat, when
the territorial legislature in 1881
organized 1t. A strong competitor was
J. Dawson Thomson Of Philadelphia,
owner of the townsite of Dawson. The
colonel went to Yankton to see Gov
ernor Ordway, and have him appoint
commissioners favorable to Steele, but
he came back discouraged; he could
get no satisfaction. He stopped in
Fargo, and during the day visited
The Argus Office to see Major Edwards,
one Of his strong friends. He told his
tale Of disappointment, and the major
asked him who he wanted named as
commissioners. He mentioned them

Senator Says He Favored Granting Re-

Washington, March 6. Senator
Cummins in statement last evening
expressed his views on"the recent fight
over the armed neutrality bill in the
senate. He declared the administra-
ton bill was declaration Of war in
disguise and that while he was willing
to have ships protect themselves, he
was not willing to arm munitions ships
or give the president power to make
war without reference to congress. Sem
ator Cummins said:
Il was willing to give our merchant
ships the right to arm and defend
themselves against submarine attacks
and the amendment offered so pro-
vided. I was willing to give the presi-
dent the authority to supply our mer-
chant ships with defensive arms and
with ammunition subject to one condi-
ton, viz: that if the government did
so supply them they must not be load
ed with arms and munitions Of war
destined to a belligerent country and

Says Power Belongs to Congress-.
Il was not willing to authorize the
president to make war until congress
declared war, / am against a declara-
ton Of war in disguise. This is just
what the senate bill attempted to do.
was not and am not ready to declare
war, however anxious may be TO give
our merchant ships an opportunity to
defend themselves against unlawful at
lacks.
Il believe that congress alone should
determine the vital question of peace or
war and there are no circumstances
which can induce me to surrender that
responsibility and transfer to the pres.
ident a power which the constitution
imposes upon congress.
That is the issue and 1 for one
stand ready to accept the decision, of
the men and women Of the United
States upon it,
Senator = Cummins got many tele-
grams yesterday from Iowa and else
where. Some commended his stand
warmly, others criticised it.
For Reasonable Cloture.
AS to a cloture rule, Senator Cum
Minis said he had for four years sup
ported reasonable cloture and would
continue to do so, provided it was not
shaped as to give a party caucus pow
er to shape legislation and then choke
off discussion.
Senator Kenyon said:
"My position has been and is that the
law ought to give the president power
to arm ships if they are not munition
ships but not to give him unlimited
power"
