Wednesday, *January l,
SKNATK.—In the senate the same discus
sion about the rales wa3 continued. Mr
Frye threw some spice into the dull mon
otony of the dull proceedings, by an at
tack up the commerce committee, which
he said Bhould have something better to do
tban spending its time in distributing a
proper proportion of river and
harbor money to each con
gressionsl district. He declared that the
shipping of the country demanded some at
tention which bad declined since 1861.
This Senator Vest took to be a reflection up
on the oonfederancy, and was nettled to a
characteristic speech. Senator McMillan de
fended the commerce committee
He said there was much difference of
opinion in regard to such dues and it was
not clear that they should be abolished.
With regard to the work of tho committee
on commerce, Mr. McMillan Baid that dur
ing the last congress it made eighty reports
on a great variety of tubjects. The mer
chant marine had not been neglected. With
regard to the river aud harbor bill, he
thought it one of the most useful an bene
ficial* bills that congress has to deal witn,
anu criticisms made on river and harbor
bills would apply toother bills also. The
proposition whioh was to create an inter
national improvement committee tn take
away the jurisdiction of the commerce com
mittee over river and harbor bills, was not
acted upon whe& it came time to go into
executive session.
HOUSE.—From the very warm discussion
over tne preliminary disposition of the
president's messsge and the report of the
Mississippi river commission in both houses
of congress it is evident that congress will
find some other work besides tinkering
with the tariff. The houBe devoted almost
the enti'a day to the question of referenoe.
Three committees oiaiined jurisdiction on
this subject—Reagan's committee on com
merce. Willis' committee on
rivers and harbors, and King's
committee on Mississippi river im
provement and levees. The gist of the
fig.it lay in fhe supposition that the refer
ence to the Kins committee meant what
mf
hw
tp.ll ana a liberal appropriation 'or tue Mis
sissippi. A warm contest of words lor su
premacy over his important measure was
tbe resuii. Over three nours of tbe session
were used up disposing of the matter,
several roll calls beUg taken bolore it was
finally settled ia favor ol the committee on
rivtrj and harbors.
Resolutions aere adopted instructing the
proper committees to 11. quire into the ad
visrbility ot retaliatory legislation against
countries which exclude American meats.
A bill for the relief o. Gen. Fi'Z John Por
ter waa reported, Tnesecreiary ot the trees
ury asked lor an appropiiaiion of $15,w00
for (.rinting $1 and $2 treasury notes. Res
olutions ot respect to tne memory ot tbe
late Herr Lasker of Germany were adopted.

A Rematkable Tragedy In the Old
Bay Stacn.
LOWEIJ,, Mass., Special Telegram, Jan. 4.—
rhis afternoon at Andover a woman named
Lizzie' Jackson, her husband and a maii
named Thompson met their death in a pe
culiarly tragical, though withal funny, man
ner. It seems that Mrs. Jackson, before
marrying, had encouraged Thompson to an
extent that led lilm to believe he had gained
the woman's affections but when ho pro
posed marriago Bhe deliberately threw him
over, and a few months afterward married
Jack.noil. Thompson was naturally wild ovei
this, but manifested no ill-wilL Last night he
walked three miles through a heavy rainstorm
and asked for admittance at the Jackson'^
house. He was not cordially welcomed, but
Mr. and Mrft Jackson, though surly, did not
refuse him shelter, and Thompson occupied
the spare room In the dead of night Jack
son awoke and found his bed had two in
mates beside himself. He arose, quietly
struck a match and saw enough to inflame
his anger to the greatest depth. Seizing a
chair, he was about to prostrate the intrudei
forever, when the latter, who was no other
than Thompson, awoke suddenly and sprang
upon Jackson. Being stronger, he quickly
OVEBPOWERED HIM.
The woman then awoke and interceded foi
her husband, and Thompson thereupon con
tented himself with binding him to the foot
of the bed for the night This morning a
council of war was held, lasting until noon.
Finally it was decided that Thompson should
give the outraged husband satisfaction in the
following unique manner: Along silk, hand
kerchief was to bo twisted around his neck

turns to it only. If Thompson chokcd
the fucd was to bo acknowledged
as settled if he did not choke
he was to have a chanco at the husband's
neck on the same terms. Thompson did not
chokc on his trial, but he chokcd Jackson to
death. On seeing this Mrs. Jackson took a
revolver from a shelf and shot Thompson
dead. She then turned the weapon npon
herself and lodged a bullet in her brain.
The noise of the shots attracted a neighcoi
who hastened to the sceno and found Mrs.
Jackson lying in her own blood, and Thomp
son in a dying condition. Mrs. Jackson's

ian called, bnt too late to be of any service.
Her Lasker has for the last decade been
kno\n as the William Gladstone of Ger

of the National Liberal party, and while
Bismarck is the powerful minister of the
German empire, Lasker was the private dep

ment was obliged to respect. He was born
in Berlin in 1829 of Jewish parents. He
graduated from the university at Berlin ia
1847. Soon after this he went to England

TERRITORIAL NEWS.
DAKOTA IN 1883.
Tho opening paragraph of the report roi
1883 of the governor of Dakota sets forth in
language that is none too strong the wonder
ful change that a year has wrought ihe
great Territory of the Northwest: "Tho
progress and development of Dakota during
the past year have been almost phenomenal.
Tho tide of immigration whichsetin strongly
in 1880 has been constantlv increasing, until
during the past year, I think, a fair estimate
of the increase in population would reach
100,000, while the increase of assessable
property has even -been more marked than
the increase in the nnmbeT of inhabitants."
Year by year, as its resources and capa
bilities are proved moTe fully by iho practi
cal test of experience, as we cease to rely
upon the vagqe reports of travelers and sur
veyors and corae to the proved results of
settlement, the horizon of Dakota's future is
extended, and a more adequate idea of what
the Territory is, and is to be, may be ob
tained. Agriculturally the outlook is onnu
ally improving and now, instead of the vast
-desert tract through which the Missouri
was once supposed to flow, an inviting
and prosperous section lies encouragingly
open to the thousands who are seeking
a free and independent life. "There is very
little waste or entirely valueless land in Dako
ta," says Gov. Ordwny. Even the bad lands
of the Littlo Missouri are found to be excel
lently adapted to stock-raising, and with the
rapid development of the Territory as a
whole, new directions in which industry
may profitably exert itself are constantlv be
ing discovered. The production of gold and
silver continues to advance, and the comple
tion of new railroad facilities is expected to
give a great impulse to the Black Hills, as
well as to other regions. The school rev
enues of the Territory for the last year re
ported were nearly $500,000, and under
the reorganized system adopted byrf the
last legislature great improvement in edu
cational facilities is expected. It is esti
mated that a tax of three and a half mills on
the dollar of tho assessed valuation will
meet all obligations, and the financial con
dition of the Territory is summed up as
follows: "Four years ago the Territory
owed some $20,1100 in warrants, which
securities, bearing 10 per cent interest, for
want of funds, were selling at a largo dis
count. These warrants have all been paid
oil' fi-om current revenues, leaving a hand
some surplus in the treasury, and the Ter
ritory
Mill
have an outstanding indebted­
ness, when all the bonds provided for by
tin last two legislatures are issued,
$ 194,500, bearing but 5 and per cent an
nual interest." To offset these inconsider
able liabilities, the Territory has public insti
tutions costing $400,000, and it is estimated
that its total indebtedness could bo paid and
every bond retired by a five-mill levy upon
the assessable property. These figures give
some index of that great development which
only those who have witnessed it or been
part of it can fully comprehend. The foun
dations of Dakota's prosperity are firmly laid,
and the time is not so far distant when this
great region will take honorable placc among
tbe most prosperous agricultural States oi
the Union.
Decisions in Wisconsin.
MADISON, Wis., Special Telegram, Jan. 8.—
The supreme court met to-day and rendered
a number of decisions, but two of which are
of any public importance. In the case of
J. P. C. Cottrill, Milwaukee, against William
E. Cramer, of the Evening Wisconsin, for
libel, the judgment of tho county court oi
Milwaukee county was reversed, and the
cause was remanded for a new trial. Cot
trill sued Cramer for $25,000 damages for
libel, and the county court awarded him six
cents damages and six cents costs. Chiei
Justice Cole, who rendered the opinion, held
that—
As the jury in tlic county court had found that
the defendant, William K. Cramer, in writing
and printing the artlclc set forth in the com
plaint knew it to be falso and not a fair criticism
of bhe speeches of the plaintiff as a public man
on subjects concorninp the public, it would re
quire no argument to show tlmt the plaintiff was
entitled to substantial damages.
In the case of Hattie Bradley against Will
iam E. Cramer, also for libel, the court re
versed the order of tho circuit court of Mil
waukee county and remanded the cause for
further proceedings according to law. The
plaintiff is the widow of D. C. Bradley who
committed suicide in Kenosha county Dec.
25, 1881, and action was brought against
defendant as publisher of the Evening Wis
consin of Milwaukee, for publishing as an ex
planation of the probable cause of Bradley's
suicide an article which reflected on the plntn
tiff, and which was alleged to be a malicious
libel. The circuit court sustained tbe demur
rer to the complaint on the ground that it did
not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause
for action, and this was the ruling the su
preme oouit reversed to-day.
CHICAGO, Special Telegram, Jan.8.—Hon. John
B, Eaymond of Fargo, Dale, passed through the
city yesterday on his return to Washington. In
an interview he said: "Our people hope
that Mr. Oakes will be elccted president
of the Northern Pacilic. He is an active young
man familiar with our wants, a thorough rail
road man and one who has brought about him
efficient assistants in all departments. The road
will pull through all right. Its aggre
gate indebtedness is only about one-lifth
of that of the Union and Central Pacific. It cer
tainly ought to pay that. Moreover, it goes
through very much better country. I shall intro
duce a hill to doulile tho size of tho terri
torial legislature. Wo now liavo a population of
H.r0,000. The present legislature
contains in the
lower house twenty-four members, anil in the
upper, twelve. This thus enables seven men in
tho upper house to block legislation." 1
think that Gov. Ordway has been rather too
aggressive, and that, lie has trod on the toes oi
not a few jwople. This may in part account for
the allegations made against him. He might
also have been guilty of some indiscretions. lie
said he did not think eongress would admit Da
kota this winter, tho Democrats being too wise
to glvo tho Republicans tliree extra electoral
votes. He did not think the capitol question
would be settled soon. There would continue to
be a tight, probably, wherever the capitol is lo
cated, bo it at Yankton, Bismarck or Fargo, &£
the people
arc in arms, aud each section is bound
lo have its own way.
William E. Burton of Grand Forks
was killed by the cars at Shell Rack,
Iowa. He was walking on the track, and
the train made but little noise, owing to
the snow. Mr. Burton's family is at Grand
Forks.
Waterton (Dak.) News: Mr. Elliot of
Clark has at various times received mon
ey from Canada, and tbe fore part of
the week drove into Clark, received
some money forwarded him from Onta
rio, and in the evening started to drive
home. Not reaching home during the
night, his folks became alarmed, a search
was made, and following the trail made
by his team, they soon discovered
whero it bad crossed the railroad track,
at which place the wagon became un
coupled. Following up the trail from
this point they soon discovered the
horses feeding at a hay stack. The front
trucks of tbe wagon, as we.'.l as
the wagon box was also
there, and in the box was found Mr.
Elliott dead, having his skull crushed in
as if by a hard blow dealt with a heavy
wtapon. Nothing goes to show that the
horses had run away, or that Mr. Elliott
could have possibly met with an accident
of so serious a character. Three men
have been arrested on suspicion.
Tbe work of laying pressed brick was
fuliv completed on the Dakota capi
tol last week.
At an informal meeting of the Yank
ton bar, and attorneys in attendance on
tbe United States courts, a bill was
drawn and forwarded to Delegate Ray­
&

mond nskine congress to allow each
judicial district in the Territory to elect
a judge who shall be paid by the Terri
tory and devote his wbole time to the

district court instead of the Territorial
legislature.
DAKOTA'S GOVERNOR.
HE CASTIGATES HIS ENEMIES.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Jan.
Gov. Ordway's attention was called to-day to
an article in the PIONEEII PRESS of Deo. 20,
purporting to give the text of blank petitions
for his removal also referring to an allida 1»
said to have been made by Perkins of Hyde
county. The governor said he could prove
conclusively that the blank petitions were
gotten up by the Yankton ring, and were
being secretly circulated throughout tho
southern portion of the Territory by paid
emissaries. The charges, if they oould be
called such, he should sum up in
about eight lines of the petition, viz.:
Vankton ideas, deficient education in poker,
opposition to repudiation, to the robbing of
Indians, to stealing the public lands, to load
ing new counties with fraudulent indebted
ness, to secession conventions and similar
pure and free legislation which many of the
promoters of these petitions have been en
gaged in for years. If the reading of the
petition between the lines was correct, the
governor said be should plead guilty to most
of the implied allegations. Four years ago
10 per cent Territorial securities were
hawked about at a large discount,
ind county securities were coirespond-
Ingly depressed by the Yankton repu
diation and the numerous rings of county
bond jobbera After tliree years and half
tho present territorial administration 10
per cent, territories securities have been sell
ing at a premium in the open market all
repudiated county indebtedness has been re
funded and the securities of nearly every
jounty in the territory bring their face value.
Three years ago the territory had not a brick
u" a block of stone laid inja permanent build
ing, while to-day there are 10 line buildings
jompleted, or nearly so, and in use. The
governor said with this record and his early
s.lorts in aiding the Northern Pacific to pre-
Mit at tho New England and other Eastern
!airs the finest show oE agricultural and min
sral productions ever put on exhibition, and
lis labors in securing more than six tons of
provisions and clothing and large contribu
tions in
MOSEY FOtt THE TI.OOD SUFFERERS
1881, ho should leave the president and
the public to judge whether or not he had
been "dilatory1' in discharging tho duties of
his office. He regretted to bring before the
public tho fact that for a dozen years Dakota
has been handicapped and torn by factions
that nearly every governor during that pe
riod had been indecently and ruthlessly as
sailed, both in and out of the Territory, and
nearly every delegate who had secured a seat
in congress has been bled by these factions to
Daukruptcy. With this record, which can
lot be effaced in certain sections of South
rn Dakota, but which docs not apply to
he central, northern and more recently
settled portions ot the Territory, tho present
xecutivo oau hardly expect to escape the
ihafts ofenvv and prejudice, lioferring to the
Perkins affidavit, the governor said that it
tvent without saying around the land
tiiee that affidavits could be procured at.
per ream,when tho white paper costs $4, yet
Ue had never known of a conviction for per
iury based upon un affidavit in the Territory.
Tho reasons for withholding the appointment
ol Perkins and Falde fortunately are known
by three or four gentlemen who were present
when Perkins made his last call upon the
governor at Bismarck, and who will testify
that the governor distinctly stated to Perkins
and Falde that he did not wish to trammel
the commissioners in regard to the Hyde
county seat question, but, on tho contrary,
if Highmore proved to bo tho proper place,
the commissioners ought to locate the county
seat there, although ho (the governor) had
been pretudiced against certain Highmore
parties weo had written him insulting letters,
which are now in his possession, containing
improper aud corrupt propositions. In con
clusion, Gov. Ordway said that the affidavit
Baid
to have been made by Perkins in regard
to tho organization of Hyde county, and tho
one said to have been made by Oilclirist in
regard to the organization of Potter county,
were infamously falso and were incorrect sc
far as they asserted any improper or corrupt
act on his part, and he would so prove them.
The citizens of Scully county have
signed a petiton asking for the abroga
tion of the Fort Scully military reserva
tion and the opening of that tract to
settlement.
