Sergeant Slattcry and Officer Flfield of tho Sccoud l'ollco Precinct, who went to Sllgn, Mil , this morning to Investigate tho finding of HnvlhniVs body, returned to tho station at IS o'clock and stated that tho body had not been found, Another search put) was oigautzlng to prosccitto tho search further. I lie pcoplo of Sllgo and vicinity wcio much surprlscil b) a laigc body of reporters nnd others coming out thoro this morning to attend tho "Inquest, to bo held at Dean's storo nt lOo'cloik." That was tho first they had heard of tho leportcd flndlngof tho body. Tho most disgusted set of men to be seen wcro n dozen or so local reporters and a Hnltlmoro ,s'nii man who had driven ten miles In the face of a cold north wind to attend tho Inquest and found no body. Tho rumor as to tho finding of tho body originated In a report which was brought to Rockvlllo by a young man that tho body had been found In a well. A party thoroughly searched tho well this morning nnd nlso ov cry well In tho neighborhood. Up to tho present writing tho mystcr) Is now as dark as It ever was, with no cluo at all. Searching parties aro still out over the country and to day are thoroughl) exam ining tho banks of Hock Creek. Mr. Dean said to tho CiiiTia man that "tbo pcoplo of tho neighborhood wcro much surprised that any such report should have been so vvldclv circulated," Tho well In which tho body was said to have been found is about a half mllo from Mr. Rein's storo In a negro settlement. The prevailing theory of tho people as to tho perpetration of the crime Istuatltwasdono by somo negroes from Washington, In which caso tlio body would not bo scsretcd aiound an) of tho mgro settlements.

Only the head aud a portion of the neck was sent, and It was encased In a box and directed to n party thero under n ficticious name. Steps will Immediately bo taken to learn whether tho head was tint of tho missing Mar) land farmer. It Is thought by somo that tho ghastly object was sent to a medi cal student for professional purposes, and that tho subject w as not Ilavllancl. Tin: Aimr ani xut.

When tlio Criminal Court opened this morning to proceed with tho trial of Wm. B. Moses, O. C. Colo and James A. Mc Dcvltt, charged with conspiracy to kidnap Gcorgo Ta)lor and send him to New Or leans Mr. McDcvIlt, who was absent )es tcrday, was present, lie explained that, not knowing tho caso was set for trial ) cs tcrday, ho left tho city last week on busi ness. Ho wished n trial, aud would have been present had ho known n day had been set. Colonel Cook thought thcro had liecu n misunderstanding, and asked that the forfclluro of tho rccognlranco bo set nsldo. Ills Honor declined to grant tho applica tion at that time, and directed tlio trial to proceed Tho defendant accepted tho jury as called, but tho Government interposed one challenge, Assistant Distilct Attorney Co)lc, In opening tho caso for tho prosecu tion, promised to show that this was a con spiracy by means of a bill piece, to forco from Mr. Taj lor securities for certain claims, nnd If they woio forthcoming Mr. Moses would forego sending him to New Orleans on tho bail piece. Colonel Cook, In answering, pronounced the statements untruo and not sustained by tho fact. As tho first tcstlmon) In thcciKO tho Gov ernment offered thu papers In tho suit of Moses v s. To) lor. 1 ho defcuso objected ou tho ground that thcro was no averment In the Indictment that tho moiioy was not duo as averred or tho claim unjust. Tho Court suggested tho temporary postponement of tho argument until they got further Into the case. A gtucral statement of tho con tents of tho papers was tlicu made to tho Jury subject to tho objection of tho defense. vMlllam II. Ferguson, called ns tho first witness, testified to the an est of Mr. Tay lor. At this point Mr, Wilson objected, and saui uiai ociorc proving overt nets mo con spiracy must bo prov en. Ov crt acts could not bo proven first. Mr. Coylo said that If they had to provo that theso defendants put their heads to gether and decided to do an unlawful tiling, then ho would admit It was something they could not prov u. But hoi ontended that tho existence of tho conspiracy could bo proven by tLo acts committed In further ance of the conspiracy, His Honor said that tho Jury must bo satisfied that tho defendants vv cro acting lu an unlawful combination and not Individu al) before thero could bo nuy conspiracy or proof of overt acts. Tho testimony was admitted subject to objection. Ferguson, resinning, testified that McDevItt arrested Ta)lor near tho cor ner of Eighth audi: streets about 1 p. m. and a few minutes later met Mr. Moses, who told Tn)lorthat If ho would glvo se curity for tho Indebtedness ho would not send him to New Orleans on the ball piece. Taylor claimed that Moses was Indebted to nun. jney procceucu to .Mr, Colo's otllce, where a conversation ensued, and thon pro ceeded to McDovltt'6 office, wheroMr. Nat Wilson, counsel for Ta)lor, was sent for aud subscqucutl) arrived. Ho mado out somo papcis w hlch Tavlor swore. Witness know It was an application for habeas corpus. Later McDevItt called for Taylor to como and go, that ho vv ould havo to take him to New Orleans in compliance with Mr. Moses' orders, 'lavlor protesting. 1 ho latter w as forced Into the carriage, and the) drovo to Alexandria, Va. Two offi cers wero present when Tavlor entered tho carriage, but finding that McDevItt had a ball pleco they did not Interfere. Tho witness detailed an Intel view be tween himself and Moses lu front of the lattci's store, lu which ho claimed that bo had been sold out, and tho w ltncss knew that to lea fact. Moses claimed that Mc DevItt sold him out by letting Taylor sco n lawver In Alexandria.

HOW ABOUT DAKOTA? Her Appeal for Recognition in tho Family of States SENATOR HARRISONS VIEWS. lie Hold. Hint HIkIiI mill .limtlii! !( nimid llor Admission. Till! QUESTION IN CONGRESS. Senator Harrison, who Is chairman of thu Commlltco on Territories, and who Is championing Dakota In her efforts to gain admission to tho Union of States, has been busy in his commlttco room during tho hol idays answering n flood nt correspondence on this subject from tho Northwest, and picparlng his reply to Senators Vest and lliitlcr on tho proposition to Inquire if the Statehood movement Is not rcvolutloinr). To n United Press reporter this morning Senator Ilnirlson expressed Iho belief that whatever tho result of this agitation might be, there would ba nothing dono b) tho citizens of Dakota that would bo unlawful, becauso they were not disposed to Injtiro their futitro prospects with Congress b) any rash act. "It Is almost enough, howcv cr," said he, to drlv o tho pcoplo of Dakota to rev oliitlun ary nets, to rcfusn them statehood. Such n tiling was nuvcr known beforo In this, or any other country nearly noo.CKX) people, law abiding nud capable of sclf-iroxcrnmcnt, with more than nil tho qualification for statehood, being oxllcd and constantly re fused It ou purely political grounds. "It should unt'bu a surprlso to sea thoso pcoplo desperate, for It Is despotic to keep fiom them nil tho rights of American citi zenship when they are American citizens In fact. Intelligent, thrift), cncigctlc men do not llkn to bo disfranchised, and since the) must obey tho laws of tho United States and bow to tho dictation ot her offi cers, thoy most natuially want a voice In making thoso laws nud selecting those offi cci s. "Already thcro nro States In Iho Union with but ouo member in the lower house ot Congress, and Dakota, It admitted, will bo clearly entitled to nt least two from tho vcry6tart. Such Injustice, I sav, belongs to the dark days of England nnd Russia and tho tlmo of tho Inquisition. Tho position of Senator Vest Is unenviable both politi cal!) and personally aud cannot bo main tained." Dakota will monopolize u gicat deal of tlmo nnd attention in tho Senate after thu holidays, and several Senators aro picpar lng themselves to speak ou this subject when It comes beforo the Territories Com mittee. On tho Republican sldo ot tho Chamber It Is generally conceded that n bill will bo passed to admit Dakota, but vcr) Ilttlo encouragement is expected from the House. Tin: bi:vi:iti:sT ix vi:ahs.
