The joint commission appointed In
behalf of Nebraska and South Dakota
to fix the title to some land in dispute
between the states has made its report.
The commission is composed of C. J.
Srnyth, Ed A. Fry and J. W. Edgerton
in behalf of Nebraska, and Andrew E.
Lee, E. C. Ericson and E. II. Van Ant
werp in behalf of Dakota. The com
mission located the boundary as fol

Center of the main channel of the
Missouri river between a point in the
center of main channel of the river
directly north of the weft line of Dixon
couuty, Nebraska, and a point in the
center of the channel directly south of
the east line of Clay county. South Da
kota. The effect of thin location is to
give the island in the Missouri river,
which has been in dispute to South Da
kota.
The report includes a recommenda
tion giving to Nebraska Bon Homme
island, containing 3,500 acres, and giv
ing to South Dakota at the mouth of
Sioux river the small strip of land that
hus been previously considered a part
of Dakota county.

and about 300 delegates present, repre
senting every subordinate lodge in the
state Grand Secretary Gage made his
annual report, which shows a net gain
of four lodges in the state for the year;
end a net gain of thirty-three members
for the same period. This seems small,
but when the drouth and business de
pression are considered it is viewed that
the order did well to hold its own. The
report shows that #15,737.10 was paid
out for relief; the total assets of sub
ordinate lodges are £383,537.65, and a
balance is in the treasury of the grand
lodge’at this time of 80,785.15. In ad
dition to the relief reported above, the
grand'lodge paid out 81,050.32 to aid
needy lodges and members iu the
drouth stricken portions of the state
last year.
Interesting Irrigation Case.
Goring dispatch; The injunction
case of Mcclenahan against the Winter
Creek Canal company was heard and
will be decided by Judge Neville after
arguments in the form of briefs have
been submitted. The case bears upon
the legality of the assessment of shares
of capital stock in an irrigation com
pany for maintenance purposes and the
question as to whether the companies
are entitled to sell delinquent stock
upon merely advertising the same, or
whether judgment must be taken and
proceedings had in that way. It is re
garded as a test case by all the com
panies in this section, most of them
being organized under the mutual or
co-operative plan, and is watched with
a great deal of interest.

sustained by plain tiffs because of false
statements of the bank's condition
made by officers and directors. At the
lustance of defendants they were re
moved to the federal court. Attorneys
for plaintiffs had moved to have them
remunded on the theory that they pre
sented no federal questions. Judge
Shiras holds that they involve questions
of law arising under the constitution
and laws of congress. The cases aro

of the factory here substantial improve
ments have been made on the plant,
and this year was no exception. A
large warehouse, for storing the sugar,
has been erected, and considerable new
machinery put >nto the factory. A
most important uhange is the substitu

Large iron tanks have been built out
side the boiler house, in which the oil
is stored, and from which the oil is
pumped into the boiler house, heating
six immense boilers. The scene around

Grant, Garfield, Blaine, Arthur, Harrison
and Other Repnbllean Leaders Praised
and Criticised—Garfield's Nomin
ation In 1880 Comes In for a
Good Share of Attention
—Intrigues, Etc.
Chicago, Oct. 21.—The intrigues
the jealousies and the traitorous knife
thrusts of the last half-century of
American statecraft are revealed in
the fierce light of stern criticism in
"John Sherman’s Recollections of
Forty Years in the House, Senate and
Cabinet,” just published in this city.
The fear that the venerable senator
would reveal secrets, long kept from
the public, in his forthcoming work
has been to an extent realized. Grant,
Garfield, Blaine, Arthur, Harrison and
other Republican leaders are spoken
of with unstinted praise for their high,
personal, worthy statesmanship, but
each is in guarded and covert language
shown in the less commendable light
of scheming politicians. The criti
cism is almost invariably implied
rather than direct, but it stands out
clearly in the work as a whole.
Owing to the close association of Mr.
Sherman and James A. Garfield, the
criticism of the nomination of the
latter for president of the United
States is perhaps one of the most
striking features of the book. The au
thor, while carefully avoiding a direct
charge of treachery on the part of the
ex-president, very significantly makes
it plain that Mr. Garfield was nomi
nated at a convention to which he had
gone as the trusted leader of the Sher
man forces. After showing by the
publication of private letters, covering
a period of years of close political and
personal association, that Mr. Garfield
was, in reality, his political protege,
Mr. Sherman gives in detail the his
tory of the national convention of
1880. Following the'account of hia
own struggle for the nomination, he
says:
“In time, T became thoroughly ad
vised of what occurred at the Chicago
con vention, and had become entirely
reconciled to the result, though fre
quently afterwards I heard incidents
and details which occasioned me great
pain, and which seemed to establish
the want of sincerity on the part of
some of the delegates, and tended to
show that for some time before the
meeting outlie convention the nomi
nation of General Garfield had been
agreed upon.”
The sting felt by Garfield’s defection
in 1880 is inadvertently shown bv a
sentiment expressed during the discus
sion of the national convention of
1892, where the senator remarks:
“From later developments I became
satisfied that Harrison could not be
elected, that Platt and a powerful
Hew York influence would defeat him
if nominated. I therefore - preferred
the nomination of a new man, such as
William McKinley, but he had com
mitted himself to Harrison, and, ac
cording to my code of honor, could not
accept a nomination even if tendered
him."
Again the author reverts to the
Chicago convention in discussing the
character of President Garfield. Of
his personality and eloquence he
speaks in the highest terras, nis will
power, he says, was not up to his per
sonal magnetism. He adds that his
opinion cuanged easily. In this
connection he said: “When 1 proposed
to him to be n delegate-at-large to the
Chicago convention, he no doubt
meant in good faith to support my
nomination.”
Some of the political scheming that
again resulted in the defeat of the
Ohio statesman in the national con
vention of 1888 and brought about the
nomination of ex-President Harrison
can easily be read between the lines
in that part of the work devoted to
this struggle. In discussing the re
sult Mr. Sherman says he became sat
isfied one •delegate from New York
controlled the entire delegation from
that state, end between Saturday
night, when the nomination seemed
certain to go to Sherman, and Monday
morning, when the tide turned in
favor of Harrison, a corrupt bargain
was made in the interests of the
latter, which secured him the support
of New York and gave him the nom
ination. Continuing the author states
in fairness to the ex-President: “But
it is to the credit of General Harrison
to say that if the reputed bargain
was made it was without his consent
at the time. ”
On the eve of another national cam
paign in which ex-President Harrison
is expected to figure prominently, Mr.
Sherman does not hesitate to state
that in 1803 be did not consider Harri
son a strong candidate. To his cold
and abrupt manner, he attributes his
unpopularity at that time.
At the age of 73 years. Senator
Sherman recalls the aifair over the at
tempt to remove Chester 'A. Arthur
from the collectorshsp of the port of
New York with much feeling. The
correspondence bearing on the contro
versy never before published is given
in full, and Mr. Sherman’s part as sec
retary of the treasury is stated in de
tail. Arthur is shown up in an un
enviable light and the attitude of
Roscoe Conxling toward the president
is caustically commented upon. The
former's nomination as viee president,
Mr. Sherman says, was the whim of
Conkling to annoy President Hayes.
In writing about himself Mr. Sher
man is candid to the point of self crit
icism. For instance, he states that at
the age of 10 years he got into bad
company and was on several occasions
conscious of being intoxicated. In re
lating the incident which influenced
his whole life in this respect, he says:
“On one occasion, in the fall of 1830, I
went home very sick from drinking.
My mother received me with much
surprise and sorrow, but neither com
plained nor scolded, and with the ut
most kindness put me to bed and
watched over and cared for me. I was
not enough stupefied to be unconscious
of my degradation and her affection,
and then aud there resolved never to
be in such a eondition again.”
HARRY GARFIELD.
The Family of the Head President Will
Answer Sherman and Others Hater.
Cleveland, Ohio. Oct. 21.—The
eldest son of the late President, Harry
A. Garfield, while averse to express
ing himself in regard to Senator Sher
man's statements, finally said: “It
has been the policy of the family not
to reply to charges that are made
against my father, and so we
have never given any attention
to such as the Roscoe Conkling
matter and other things of that kind.
There is, in the possession of our fam
ily all the letters, manuscripts diaries
and such matter that was left by iny
father, and it is our intention to an
svver an cnarges in tue form of a bio
graphy rather than as the charges are
made. I do know one thing. I am
and have been a warm admirer and
friend of Senator Sherman’s and I
know that my father always was. Of
course. Senator Sherman has a
perfect right .to h:s own opin
ions, as has everybody else.
The nomination in 1880 was considered
by my father's friends and nearly
everybody so be the result of a
peculiar condition of affairs. What
ever _ Senator Sherman may think
of it is his own matter, and he has a
right to his own opinions. It may be
that we will have something to say re
garding this matter, but I will not say
that we will or will not. I could only
say that after a conference with the
family and looking over some of the
papers, it does not seem to me right or
proper for anyone to make charges by
inference, but they should be substan
tiated by papers and documents. 1 do
not care to enter into a controversy
over it and prefer not to discuss the
matter until I have seen the book,
which I have ordered. I think what
ever reply we may decide to make will
likely be made in the form of a biog
raphy, but at the same time it is pos
sible we may decide otherwise and
make a statement regarding it.

Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
Lim-K Rock, Ark., Oct 19.—The
Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight situation is
even more complicated to-day than it
was when Governor Clarke first de
clared that he would use the full
power of the law to prevent the con
test. No one hero now dares to say
what will be the outcome, though the
feeling at Hot Springs at present is
that, if Fitzsimmons will agree to the
changed conditions, making the match
a soft glove limited round glove fight,
the men will be able to meet at that
place October 31 without interference.
It is said that the governor while at
Hot Springs asserted that he would
tolerate no violation of the law, but
was willing to refer the whole ques
tion to Judge Duffie ah if he should
conclude that no violation warranting
interference was intended, the govern
or would be satisfied and in any event
no state interference would be inter
posed unless the constituted authori
ties of that county should ask for such
assistance.
EfiAgainst this, however, is the state
ment made last night by Brigadier
General Taylor, after a long confer
ence with the governor:
■‘The fight will not occur at Hot.
Springs nor in Arkansas. There is no
doubt on that score.”
“Not even in a modified way. as now
proposed?”
“No sir.”
“What will be the effect of the court
proceedings, if favorable to the fight,
on the proposition to mass the militia
at Hot Springs? ’
“I don’t feel at liberty to discuss
that phase of the question. My duty
is to carry out orders, whether right
or wropg, but I believe the orders the
Governor may issue will be right.”
JOHL L. TALKS.
He Is Anxious to Have the Fight Come
Off—Will He a Great Battle.
New Yobk, Oct. 19.—Ex-Champion
John L. Sullivan said of the Corbett
Fitzsimmons matter that the fight
might come off and that it might
not. Asked whether he had any
choice between the two men he re
plied that he had not, but thought it
would be a great fight. “I wisli in my
heart to see it come off,” said he,
“as. the future of boxing depends
on its final outcome. They are
knocking the game out all over the
country, but it will rise agaiu as sure
is you live. Fitzsimmons and Corbett
are good fellows and they should
be allowed to box. When I was in
the game, they never objected. I sup
pose that was because I was a good
fellow. • Who do I think will win?
Well, as I said, I have no choice in the
matter. It will be a fight for keeps,
and both men will do their level best
to win. Corbett is a clever man, and
so is Fitz. They know how to use
their hands and they are no novices at
the game. Fitzsimmons is said to be
a hard hitter; so is Corbett. He can
hit as good as any one and f am sure I
ought to know. How long do 1 think
it will last? Well, to be plain, I have
not the slightest idea. X should go
about twenty rounds if anything. The
men will fight cautiously at first, but
will no doubt take things seriously as
soon as they have sized each other up.
I have no idea of returning to the
ring.”
CORBETT ARRESTED.
Charged With Threatening to Assault
Hob Fitzsimmons.
Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 19.—A war
rant against James- J. Corbett was
issued from Justice Kirke’s court yes
terday afternoon. It charges that he
has threatened, is conspiring and is
about to commit an unlawful assault
upon the person of one Bob Fitzsim
mons. It was placed in the hands of
Sheriff Houpt, who proceeded to the
Arlington hotel and served it. The
warrant was issued at the instance of
Prosecuting Attorney C. V. Teague.
Corbett was brought into court by the
sheriff and the prosecuting attorney
asked that he be put under bonds to
keep the peace. Judge Kirke made
the order as asked, placing the bond
at 810,000. Corbett refused to give the
bond, and his attorneys, Martin and
Greaves, will sue out a writ of habeas
corpus asking for his release. This
will bring the question up for jud'eial
hearing as to whether a glove contest,
such as is now proposed, will be a vio
lation of the state statute*.

school question, the Cahensley move
ment, or the other issues which h?ve
been presented in recent years.
It is said that the Pope's opposition
to the religious congresses does not
affect the Catholic church alone, but.
has a bearing on the entire movement
toward Christian unity, which began
in England, and has spread through
this country, tiie purpose of which was
to harmonize all divergent sects on
non-essentials, bringiegthem together
on the one essential tenet of Chris
tianity. .The broader sentiment found
expression in the attendance of Car
dinal Uibbons at the congress of re
ligions at Chicago. At that time Mgr.
Satolli was in Chicago, but took no
part in the congress. The Cardinal's
paper and subsequent magazine arti
cles, showing the common grounds on
which all sects might stand, attracted
much attention.
The language of the pope’s letter is
said to leave no room for doubt as to
the position of Rome on the holding
of congresses, or the broader question
of church unity, as the following di
rect statement makes clear: “But
although these promiscuous conven
tions have unto this flay been toler
ated with prudent-silence, it would
nevertheless seem more advisable that
Catholics should hold their conven
tions separately.” It is said that this
statement is so direct as not to be
open to misinterpretation, and doubt is
expressed as to tho very liberal inter
pretation placed by Archbishop Ire
land on such a clear statement from
the pope. It is believed also that if
there is any misunderstanding or '
broad interpretation given to the
pope’s language, he will speedily issue
a second letter
