General Manager Kimball has is
sued a circular setting forth the fact
that ou account of the largely increased
benefits afforded to Union Pacific em
ployes under the hospital fund, from
time to time during the past five years,
the present assessment of 25 cents er
mouth has been found inadequate to
meet the additional requirements.

mencing November 1, 18S9, to restore
the former assessment of 40 cents per
month upon all lines operated by the
Union Pacific

In this way the ice will be one solid
cake aud can readily bo preserved.

IIMIg;liiii Work III Japan.
Chicaoo, Oct. ti. John T. Swift, of
New York City, who has been iu Japan
several years on missionary work, in
an address to the ministers in this city,
stated that the mental powers of the
Japanese are remarkable. The deeper
problems of philosophy and metaphys
ics have an especial attraction for the
Japanese students and tliey grasp them
with singular force. "Such minds are
wonderfully fitted for carrying forward
the work of the church, but iu that great
imperial university at Tokio. with its
8.000 students, the truths of Christ are
not taught. It is the hotbed of infidel
ity, the scfit of agnostic philosophy.
jMen who are familiar with Hie pages of
IVf ills, Spencer, Darwin and Huxley
have never heard of Jesus, yet even iu
this stronghold of materialism the gos
pel has been carried. After some in
quiry twenty-six christians were found
among the students ami au association
for work has been formed. 'J he Japa
nese are turning to the English lan
guage. It is being taught iu the
schools and the pupils are required to
study it. The demand for English
teachers is so great that, almost any per
son is seized upon to teach. About
seven thousand children iu the empire
are being educated under christian in
fluences. Three millions are getting
their education under the influence of
agnostic philosophy. You will thus
realize how great is the urgency of mis
sionary work."
Thought HattKtnz IHdn'l Hurt.
Denver, Col., Oct. 2. A miner in
ono of the mines at Leadville is iu Den
ver undergoing peculiar treatment at
one of the hospitals. Several weeks
ago three miners whilo eating their
morning lunch, discussed varions top
ics. In the course of the talk, "death
by straugnlatiou" came up and one of
the men, Frank Leahey, expressed the
opinion that by the exercise of a little
judgment and nerve a man could sustain
life for considerable time when sus
pended by the neck. To a challenge to
illustrate his theory iu his own person
he replied that he was perfectly willing
to do so aud a wncr of $50 was made
and accepted. The foolhardy theorist
at once descended the shaft and com
menced preparations for his experiment.
Tying a rope around his neck he gave
the signal and in au instant he was
swinging in the air. A few seconds
afterward Leahey became painfully
awnro that he wag sacrificing his life to
an idiotic theory. The rope contracted
the blood iu iU passage and filled his
head almost to bursting. His eyes pro
truded from their sockets. His swollen
tongue began to make its way between
his lips aud he became unconscious.
Uis friends having no faith in the ex
periment, let him down with alacrity.
At first it was thought that the young
man was dead, but after an hour's hard
work consciousness was restored.

committee on retnrns received from
every county and precinct in the state,
gives Pierre a total vote of 33,050. ' In
their computation votes were not counted
from connties in which other aspirants

wired all over the state at tho rate of
$1,000 to PiUO, with few takers. An un
usually stroug feeling of indignation
has been aroused all over the state, es
pecially in the rural districts, over the
news which Intely leaked out that the
liqnor dealers' association hin just con
tributed to the 8ion Falls and Huron

Swi Jlolee from Walilajl..n.
Washington-, Oct 5. The following
order was issued from the office of the
commissioner of the general land office:
"To the Chief of the Division of
Clerks and Employes of the General
Laud Office Gentlemen: It having
been the practice, as I am informed, for
chiefs of divisions and others in this
office to impart U reporters official in
formation resjecting the business and
workings of this office, I desire to iu
fonn you that such practice must be
discontinued forthwith, and no infor
mation whatever is to be given out to
reiKuters. Such information as may he
proper to be given will be furnished by
the commissioner. Very respectfully,
Lewis A. Gkopt, Commissioner.
THE SILVER LEAD OUR CASE.
The indications uoware that the silver
lead ore caso will bedecided against the
lead miners, or, in other words, that no
change w ill be made in the rulings made
by Secret-try Sherman and affirmed by
Secretary Fairchild. Beasons of public
policy ore beginning to have an effect
on the department which they did not
seem to havo it lew mouths ago. Minis
ter ltyan's visit ami the presence hero
of the delegates to the international
conference are opening tho eyes of tho
treasury officials to tho importance of
our trade across the border. If the im
portation of lead ore should bo cut off
by treasury regulations it would have
an important ellect upon tho business of
the American railroads leading into
Mexico, for lead ore is one of the prin
cipal return freights which keeps the
cars laden with American goods from
coining back empty after leaving their
freights iu southern republics. Secre
tary Windoin will probably decide this
case us he has decided others, upon tho
principle thai the long established usage
of the department ought not to be over
thrown for trivial reasons. Iu (his way
he can escape tho necessity of passing
upon the abstract question of law.
THE TENSION COMMISSIONER.
The apioiiitnient of a pension com
missioner seems as far away now as it
has at any time since the resignation of
Corporal Tanner was received. The
president is not having an easy lime lo
find a man who will be satisfactory to
Secretary Noble aud himself ou one side,
and who will ulso meet the approval of
Alger and the (i. A. li. on tho other. It
is said tho only reason for not appoint
ing Judge Ilea, of Minnesota, was the
objection of Alger. It. seems apparent
that Alger aud other G. A. It. men wish
to secure a man for the pension bureau
like Tanner or who will at least carry
out Tanner's policy. It Was further ap
parent that J ml go Ren would not be
jniidcd entirely by Grand Army resolu
tions and senlinn nt, hut would adminis
ter tho law as he found it. This, it
seems, does not satisfy the Alger Grand
Army men. The Michigan general
hopes to malic a record during the year
he will bo conimaiider-iii ciiief and ho
expects that tho right man in tho pen.
sioii bureau put there by his endorse
ment will help him to make that record.
A BEAUTirri, APPROACH,
It was expected that the temporary
wooden railings and coverings lotho
sandstone about tho grand entrance on
the west of the capjlol would be cleared
away for those who will visit iheKnights
Templar conclave next week, and that
as tho work for this beautiful approach
to the capitol is completed, there would
lie a sort of "grand opening." Tho
finest piece of extensive marble work
about any of the buildings iu Washing
ton, in fact tho finest approach to any
building in the United Slates, can now
be seen as one goes into the capitol
buihliug from Pennsylvania avenue on
the west The design for this immense
piece of maiblo work was suggested by
tho approach to the Italian parliament
at Rome. It is about four hundred feet
long by almost one hundred feet in
width, and tho steps and balustrades
firm a network of fine marble, which
can be found at no other point probably
in the world. The cost of this structure
is somewhere between $000,000 ond
$800,000, and the work has been under
way for several years. The marble is
puro white and cannot be described.
Those who visit the capitol next week
will bo well repaid to look closely at
this work. The immense old fish basin,
which was the receptacle for cigar stubs
and bread crumbs, linn been cleaned
out, and a fountain with a basin of
about twenty-five feet iu diameter is to
take its place. The fine whilo marble
approach, glistening in the sunlight of
an autumn afternoon, makes a sharp
and beautiful contrast with the green
sward and the yellow leaves in front.
REPORT ON TICK BALTIMORE'S TRIAL.
The official report of the Irial board
on the cruiser Baltimore, relative to her
recent run, was received at the navy
department to-day. The board Males
that the average horse power developed
by the engines was 8,977.88, being n
deficiency of 22.12 iu power, which
would incur a penalty of $2,212. Her
average seed was 19.0 knots an hour.
The rcHrt states that during the mil
two indicators, which hod been thor
oughly tested before the trial, broke
and it was necessary to substitute two
others which had not been tested.
nlrrnallonal Amrlran Congreaa.
Washington, Oct. 1. With one or
two exceptions, all the delegates to the
International American congress aro
now in this city. The congress will not
meet formally unlit to-morrow morning,
and nothing of a deliberative character
will be dono for the next six weeks.
After meeting and organizing the del
egates will pay their respecti to Secre
tary Blaine, and will theu be presented
by him to the president. In the even
ing it is expected that Mr. Blaine will
tender the congress a banquet, and the
next morning the delegates will start
on their six weeks' tour of observation
throughout the country. The delegates
as vet do not know the exact form their
dslilisratioiis will take, and the proced
ure will not be setthal Until tho con
gress meets.
Bettor F, 0. ricrrs, Um secretary of
the Spun ish-American commercial nn
ion. who is not a delegate, but has Wn
iuvited by Mr. Blaine to accompany the
congress and give the benefit of hisex-IK-rieuce
to the delegates, said that it
had not been finally settled whether the
siltings of the congress should be pub
lic or if the members should besnoru
to secrecy. .
"What subjects will 1 taken up and
the order of their discussion is another
matter which will not I a? settled until
the congress meets," added Air. 1'ierra.
".My opinion is that the United States
delegates will not have a programme
arranged, but each delegate will be al
lowed to biiug before the congress such
subjects as he may think proier. Any
thing relating to economic matters can
proiJrlv come before the emigres and
onlv polities aro barred. While i have
no doubt each delegate tiill do his ut
most to havo the congress adopt such
measures as will bo most beneficial to
his ou country, yet there is a sincere
desire on the part of evcryliody to have
the delilxTationa of the congress result

St Lons, Oct. 5. Tho expectation
that General Master Workman Pow
derly would reply to the numerous at
tacks which have been made npon him
drew an immense crowd to J.-tst night's
meeting at Turner hall, l'owderly was
received with greut applauBO and spoke,
in a general way of the objects of the
order and said it was asked why ho did
not advocate prohibitum. Simply, said
ho, because the order hud not decided
for it. He did not advocate the single
tax, though a personal believer in it,
because the order hail not yet decided
in favor of it. Addressing himself to
the charges against him, Poadeily
spoke oi ins protest against, too ap
pointment of Furlong. Constituting
the reporters piesent a committee, hu
submitted all tho documents to them.
Turning' to til her documents ho showed
how M I. Shaw had garbled and falsi
fied evidence he pretended to submit.
Furlong's letter in the morning papers
was overhauled and ho proceeded to
demonstrate that Furlong hud con
spired Id entice Martin Irons and others
to attempt to tap the wires, so bo
could make a criminal case against
the strikers. Letters carried to l'ow
derly by Blake' were then taken up, and
one after another tho men whoso names
were appended pronounced them for
geries. No less than ten forgeries were
thus proven, l'owderly then repelled
the charge that he had made public pri
vate letters of ilussell Harrison. It was
the duty of all good citizens to prevent
the appointment of such men as Fur
long, ami iu lodging his protest l'ow
derly said ho had but performed his
duty. From published official reports
ho vindicated his position ou the stock
yards slrike in Chicago aud tho great
southwest strike. None of the men
who bore the brunt of the strike blamed
lit in. and nutil they did he cared nothing
for the attack of tho scoundrels now as
sailing linn.
l'owderly s interview with Gould and
Hopkins was described, and Gould's re
pudiation of his solemn promise told in
rapine language.
After disposing' of the charges Pow-
dcrly aiked the audience, "Have I
made out my case? Who told the lie
now?"
This elicited rounds of applause from
tho audience. The meeting was decid
edly a l'owderly success.

BisinnrK, X. IK, Oct. 4 As the re

The people aro ail surprised, and
those living in towns and cities aro
dumbfounded.
It was expected by tho antis nnd con

hibition would be defeated, and that
tho stale has been captured by thedrys,
tho latest rcpoits leave littlo room for
doubt. Tho liquor men iu tho htato aro
completely undone. 'J hey were con
fident of a rousing majority nud laughed
at all warnings of the fanatics and ex
tremists. So sure were they of victory that Ihcy
permitted the campaign fund that had
been raised by thn liquor dealers of the
east to bo tiiirsferrcd to South Dakota,
where tho prohibition strength was
known to be almost irresistible.
The amount of money thus transfer
red was overSW.OOO. and now the north
ern dealers are iu mourning.
The money did no good in South
Dakota, for thu prohibition iiinioril v was
too large to overcome, but if used in
North Dakota it would ImvoMtvod them.
As it is, they feel that the election has
gone by default, ami that the slate has
