Jamcm Henderson ICyln of South Dakota
has ocou n United States senator loss than
ton days , yet ho has succeeded , so far as the
upper branch of congros * Is concerned , In
making n great reputation nnd ono ho will
not soon loso. Ho has nlrcndy proved him
self to bo n political Tartar , n double dealer
of no small capabilities , nnd no Is being
dropped liken very hot potalo. Mr. Kyle
wns elected to the United Slnlcs senate ns an
"Independent" or alliance advocate by votes
of republicans of tno South Dakota legisla
ture. Ho had been n minister of Iho gospel
nnd when ho came hero It was naturally sup
posed that ho would affiliate with the repub
licans as against democratic politics pure and
simple.
Ho was , however , kindly received by both
sides. Ills first net wns to tnko n scat over
on the democratic side of the semite chamber ,
which suprlsed the republicans who did not
know n secret locked within his nnd the
breast of Senator Cockrell of Missouri , the
hend of the democratic steering committee ,
which dltccts iho gcncrnl polillcs of demo-
cralic side of tt\o chamber.
Commended t > Hood Democrats ,
It , appears now that when Senator Kyle
came ho bore lotlcrs from prominent South
Dakota and other democrats to Senators
Cocitroll and Gorman , commending him to
their political and personal favor. Upon
the strength of tucso letters and
the expressions of the senator , the demo
crats took him Into their camp and advised
4ilm to take n desk on their side. The olhcr
' day , just Before the democratic senators hold
n caucus to determine upon n rearrangement
of the minority representation upon the vari
ous coniihlllecs of the sonalc , Iho request of
the alliance sonnlor from South Dakota was
received personally by Senator Cockrell. It
was his wish to bo recognized by the demo
crats In their cornmitlco arrangomenls , Iho
name kind of a request as that made by full
blooded democrats upon first entering Iho
senate.
There was no question raised as to the
good faith of Senator Kyle In applying for
coninHlco positions with the democrats and
yesterday nt Iholr caucus ho wns given as
signments nnd treated the satno ns agonumo
democrat for ho had made all the professions
ns such , nnd hero enlcrs the sequel When
the republican srnntors mot in caucus this
morning for the purpose of ralifyiug tbo re
organization of the cominilloos horoloforo
ngrccd upon , Sanders ol Montana arose and
stated that ho had been requested by Sena
tor Kyle of South Dakota to present tils
name for committee assignments wilh the
republicans. Then there followed a general
discussion of South Dakota politics , the
alliance work in thnt state and the treat
ment nlllnnco senators should bonccordei' ' by
republicans
Created n Furore.
It wns finally nbout to bo dotormlned that
ns In the cnso of Mr. PoiTor of Kansas , suc
cessor to Senator Ingalls , they would bo
given comuiltteo position ? with the majority
if ihoy requeslcd it and desired to work with
the republicans on general Issues. At this
moment Senator Potligrow of boulh Dikota
arose. He hnd until now remained silent.
Pcttlgrow is n republican from the ground
up and ho felt Indignant nt what was pro
posed to bo done. Ho told of the campaigns
made in his state by Mr. Kyle
nnd the positions ho had assumed
ns rgnlust these of the republi
can party. They wcrevery unropublican.
extremely democratic. Ho said ho was will
ing , If necessary , to vacate the host place ho
had on any committee for Senator Kyle 11
that gentleman would choose the republican
instead of Iho damoerailc party for Ubor.
Ho must decide botwoan the two. Ho could
not "play botu. " Mo objected to his being
recognized as an Independent or alliance
man.
man.Ho did not think there was any obligation
rostlng on Ibo republicans lo help Ihoso who
would doslroy thorn by unfairness and mis
representation. Ho then hinted at the tact
that Kyle had "plavod" the democrats tor
places on committees. This created a
furore. Just then came a knock on the door
nnd Senator Cullom , who was presiding ,
went out. He was mot by Sonntor Kyle ,
much lo his astonishment.
Hciicstcd | Kopulillcnu Favors.
The South Dakota senator requested again
that ho bo given commlttoo assignments by
republicans but ho made no Intimations as to
co-operating with republicans in legislation.
The request was reported to the caucus amid
Eoino confusion. Kyle stock was going
down. Finally the caucus adjourned till
tomorrow morning when definite action on
the position of Senator Kyle is to bo taken.
This Is why the scnalo commlttoo arrange-
monls wcro not reported In the senate today
nnd why President Harrison did not make
the Important nominations ho expected to
send to Ilia senate.
immediately after the republican caucus
adjourned Senators Mandorson , Cullom nnd
ono nr two others from the republican side
called upon Senator Cocicroll to learn di
rectly thii position assumed by Senator Kyle
on the democratic sido. To say that Sonntor
Cookrell wauslonlshod la putting it mildly.
Ho saw thnt the domocrnts were being
"played for suckers , " as ono of the oldest
democratic senators put It , andnddod : "I
presume Kyle proposes to tnko all the assign
ments ho can gut from both sides nnd accept
thorn , Then ho would go out homo nnd sny
lo his constituent : 'Sco what a big man
nm I ! They nro all running ; after mo. " "
It will create no vnrprho now If both the
domocrnts and republicans refuse to glvo the
South Dakota independent senator any as
signment. The transaction throughout looks
very "rfhndy" to both sides ol the senate ,
Will Work WIUi tlio Democrats
Tonight the Soulh Dakota senator showed
his hand nnd ncknowlod.'cd that It wns his
intention to work with ihe democrats , but ho
innlu'H no explanation of his conduct in tryIng -
Ing to plav double on committee assignments.
When asked the direct question , "Will vou
Vote with the democrats ! " Senator Kyle
said , "Well , I do not anticipate many situa
tions hero which will call for n straight
party voto. 1 have not forgotten that my
ulecllon was brought nbout by tlio democrats
nnd 1 want to honor these to whom the honor
belongs , "
Speaking of the general policies which ho
will pursue , the senator , who will heroafler
tie recognized as n straight democrat by the
republicans , and by the democrats with sus
picion , sale : "I believe wo shall have fren
silver this year and that will do a great deal
toward relieving the situation. What wo
want Is relief , the Instrument is a something
of lesser importance. Wo also expect some
thing to bo done with the land loan bill , the
measure mtiodiiccd und advocated in the
t last congress by Sonntor Stanford ,
* IntereHtcd in Irrigation.
"I understand that during the sumtnor
Stanford has consulted with some of the
thoroughly representative agriculturists and
that certain changes have been iimao In the
bill. This revised version , the senator will

Spenkor Crisp's Wife.
MM. Charles \vlfoofthonow8peakor
of the houio of representatives , Is not nt nil
well known to the country nt largo of to
Washington ever. She Js n southern woman
of Georgia birth , and was born nnd brought
upnt Elltivillo , near Amoncin , the Crist ) * '
present home. Her llfo was that of n typical
southern woman. Her father was a wealthy
planter , whoso plantation swarmed with
slaves , nnd the Ian of luxury and gold spoons
fell to Mrs. Crisp's ' girlhood.Vbcn qulto
young she was married to young Crisp , nnd
the pair raado a homo In Amorlcus , where
they have lived ever since , four children
came to demand Mrs. Crisp's care and she
devoted herself to them nnd to her homo.
Onoirlrlls married and lives In Amorlcus ,
while the two younger children , a boy and
Klrl , arc In school yet. A son , who was an
especial favorlto of the ponkor , died Just
before the speakorship fight began In earn
est.
est.This will probably prevent Mrs. Crisp from
fooling at all lllio going Into society. She is
very domestic In her tastes nnd is also n severe -
voro sufferer from rhouiniiUsm , which pre
vented her last season from even returning
calls. Although her cholco would lead her to
remain In Georgia , Mrs. Crisp has always
spent the winters with Mr. Crisp at the
Metropolitan hotel , where she is a favorlto
with the southern contingent. She Is a
woll-tn formed woman , interested in her hus
band's career , and has a disposition that Is a
match lor the sneaker's In its firmness nnd
evenness. While the speaker's wife has an
exclusive position nnd ranks along with cabi
net Indies. It Is not nrobablo that Mrs. Crisp
will fool like assuming It unless her health
should Improve greatly. She Is still In
Georgia.

E. J. Halbroolc was appointed postmaster

would bo nominated to the senate when that
body convened last week. His nomination
was sent to the senate this morning , but
beforolho appointment nad been announced
the president sent a messenger to recall it , in
consequence of serious charges which it is
said have been preferred against him. Tnose
charges have como from republicans , and
wnllo suspicion of malfeasance in ofllco Is
connected with them , it. is evident that ho is
a persona non grata to the republican voters
of Falls City. Ho does not seem to bo very

WASIIINOTON , D. C. , Doc. 15. AD Inter
view with J. D. Woodruff , of Lander , Wyom
ing , chairman of the Shoshonn and Arapahoe
Indian commission , published today , stated
that Mr. Woodruff was on his way to Wash
ington to oppose the ratification of the treaty
negotiated by the majority of the commis
sion on the ground that the prlco paid was
more than the lands coded were worth. C.
II. Morrlllat , who was ono of the majority of
tbo commission , today said :
"Tbo commission secured more tlmu half
of the reservation of these Indians In Wyom
ing , The amount coded is estimated at
1,100,000 acres out of 3,000,000 acres belong
ing thcio Indians , For iho lands ceded
the commission paid WOO,000 , or 5,1 cents un
aero.
"Tho Wind River rosorvaiion includes an
unusually largo number of streams of water.
The Big Horn river and its continuation , the
Wind river , traverse nearly the whole of the
reservation. Numerous tributaries flow Into
the main stream , so that the trouble of secur
ing n water supply , lack of which 1s the great
drawback to the arid regions. Is considerably
less on this rosorvaiion lhati in other sections
where streams uro to bo found only nt great
distances apart. Good timber Is found in thn
northern and western portion of thn reserva
tion , and when ttio reservation Is tnrown
open the Indications favor tbo development
of mining properties. In Wyoming the Wind
river country is regarded as ono of the fav-
oral portions of the state. To make it pros
perous railroad communication is nee Jed more
than anything elso.
"It is surprising that Mr , Woodruff , a
Wyoming man , should make the objection
tbat55 cents an aero U an exorbitant prlco
to bo paid for the lands , but Mr. Woodruft U
disappointed becauto the Indians absolutely
refused to accept an offer ho iiiado of tlOO , .
000 for only About 60,000 acre * additional on
the southern part of the reservation near tbo
town of Lander. The majority of the com
mission , In disregard of Mr. Woodruffs ud-
vice not to make a treaty unless the Indians
would neil tuU louttioru strip , made A treaty
to buy the northern nnd cnstarn parts of
the reservation , nnd thereby secured all the
lands the Indians will part with at the pres
ent llmo , leaving to future negotiations n
further reduction of the nrcn of the reserva
tion In case morn land is witntad , That Mr.
Woodruff's ' opposition nrl es sdloly from the
failure to act tno southern traat oven for so
much nsl.iii ) per aero , is evidenced by the
record of the proceedings of the first council
when , prior to the refusal of the Indians to
sell this southern strip. Mr. Woodruff him
self made n proposition to pay the Indians
the same amount of money fC > OJ,000) ) for the
identical land secured , the boundaries being
aosolutoly unchanged from these named in

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Doc. 15.--SpacIal [ to
TUP. Bui.l : Secretary RUSK was soon today
with reference to his work on boluilf of In-
dlan corn in Europe. "I have Just got the
report of my special ngont out of the linndi
of the printer , " &nld the secretary. "This
report covers his work up to the 1st of Octo
ber last , nnd therefore practically Includes
only his work In Great Britain , for I sent
him from London to Berlin In September.
The fact of the matter is , however , that a
great do.il of important work has boon dona
since October 1 , for our agent has had the
cordial support of our minister to Germany ,
and the Gorman government has taken hold
of the matter qulto warmly.
"Tho subject of American malzo < nd its
use as n human food has boon quite widely
discussed iu Germany , and our agent U fairly
swamped with letters on the subject received
from all parts of the country. Moreover ,
interesting lectures on Iho subject have been
given by momoors of some of tbo loarnad so
cieties , ono of whom at least is an official of
high standing in the employ of the gov
ernment.
Corn and Hye Mixed
"Colonel Murphy had a number of loaves
baked conslsiing ot corn meal and rye meal
in equal parts. I suppose you know that the
lower classes in that country use rye broad
almost entirely , and this mixed broad Is not
only cheaper but it tius been found by all
tboso who have tried It to bo more palalablo
than the broad made of rye only. This , of
course , Is a very Important mailer lo iho
Germans , owing lo Iho fact thnt
their entire supply of Russian rye ,
of which they have hitherto
imijorted largo quantities yearly , has boon
cut off by the act of the Russian government
prohibiting the export of cereals from that
country. The price of rve lu Gorman5 is ac
cordingly , I understand , very high. This
mixed bread has been submitted by our
agout to n committee , who have reported
favorably for Us use ns nn army ration. Its
use for this purpose alone would assure a
market for a very largo quantity of corn
meal , as 1 suppose the daily rations of bread
for the Gorman armv cannot bo much less
than 500,000 loaves. "
Corn for Husslaii Sufferers.
In reply to an inquiry based on nn Asso
ciated press dispatch regarding Iho rccclpl
by Rov. Mr. Francis , pasior of tbo Anirlo-
Amoncan church In St. Petersburg of a
quantity of corn raoUl with instraciions how lo
use it , the secretary itatodthathoundortsood
Colonel Murphy bad sent some -00 pounds of
corn meal to Mr. Francis , with full Instruc
tions as to Us use in making this mixed
broad , mush , etc. , as the rasult of an item
which ho snw in some American paper sug
gesting Iho proprioly of Americans con
tributing liberally for the aid of the sufferers
In the famine districts in Russia , and urging
thnt a largo donation bo made in the form of
Indian corn , .
iiYou lnpwLiai1aodtlio "that
ij ) ' , * , secretary ,
lsomothltiT'btrtfus1ilifawas dbrto'for the Irish"
during the famine of 1S4S--1 ! ) in Ireland , nnd ,
although at that time , for want of sufficient
instruction as lo Iho use of corn meal , much
of It was waslod , novcrlhcloss , enough
persona learned how to use it , and
found It so palatable that more American
corn is used to this day us human food in
Ireland lhan in all olhor parts ol Europo. I
have not seen the nowsnupor paragraph referred -
forrod lo mvsolf , nor do I know of any move
ment actually undertaken for the purpose of
supplying the Russian authorilios with a
liberal donation of American corn for their
famino-slrlckcn people , but 1 do not bosltalo
to say ns nn individual , nnd as the result of
my oxporlonco In the effort to introduce our
corn to Europeans for human food , that I
should bo vorv glad , indeed , to see such n
movement undertaken.
O\vo Something to I7u > isln.
"Americans must always remember very
gralolully the position assumed by
the Russian government With reference
lo Ibis country during tbo war of
the rebellion , in tbo face of the antagonistic
sonllmenls prevailing in many other Euro
pean countries ; butapu.rt from any question
ot gratitude , It Is , in .my opinion , most be
coming that in cases of widespread suffering
iu any part of the world , aid of an Interim-
llonal character should bo forthcoming , and
In work of thU Kind Amorlci has usually
bcon foremost. In this particular instance ,
indeed , wo might say that self-interest
should dictate an effort of this kind , If it
could lead , as it cortamlv would in my opin
ion , to introducing into Russia with ils loom
ing population , such a cheap nnd nutritious
substitute for other cereal foods as Indian
corn.
"While it is true that Russia usually pro
duces a surplus of wheat and rye , there are
always liable to bo years like the present
ono , of shortage In ono or the other , or both of
Ihoso crops , and I nm sure llmt in
such cases the Russians would rather depend
upon Iho products of this country than upon
Ihoso of olhor counlrios , iholr irado reia-
lions with which nro liable at any time lo bo
iulorruplod by political complications.
Depends Upon tlio Puhlio.
"In the absence of congressional legisla
tion it is , of course , not within Iho functions
of this department to undertake the initiat
ive in a movement of thii character : lliat is
n mailer for public-spirited citizens , nnd for
such organizations as boards of trade and
produce exchanges , and others interested in
the extension of our markets In nil direc
tions. AH thnt I can say for my part , of
ficially , is , that were such a movement
undertaken , I should bo glad to afford these
in charge of it all the information which wu
have gathered for the purpose ol carrying on
our corn work In Europe , whloh would
doubtless enable them to accompany their
gift with such Instructions to iho Russian
authorities as would seouro the profitable
use of all the corn meal which might bo sent
to thoin. "

Cincvoo , 111. , Dec. 15-Josso James' ox-
plolls were outdone tonight in Chicago.
On ono of the loading thoroughfares flvo
daring highwaymen suddenly surrounded
ono of Uncle Sam's biggest mall wagons , nnd
at revolver point forced the postal em-
ployos to throw out several sacks. The
bulky government vehicle was then sent
( lying on lu Journey , the occupants Doing
threatened with Instaut death if they made
outcry or stopped.
.Mado a Very float .Toll.
So complete was tno surprise effected by
the bandits that the mall drivers failed to
utilize tbo services of a largo bull dog which
was bestdo them on their so.it.
Near midnight the stolen mail sacks , split
open and rifled of their contents , wore found
in Superior street , in the north division of
the city tally three miles from the scene of
iho robbery. At that hour every available
man of the city detective force nnd the nost-
ofllco Inspector's staff was straining every
nerve to obtain n clue to the idedtity of the
highwaymen or their whereabouts.
Where It Happened.
The wagon was on its way to the main
postoffico with the mail from the stock yards
nndsouthwcstsinllons. It was In charge of
John Crolfhton , an experienced driver , who ,
after collecting his valuable irolght , drove
down Blue Island avenue to Ilalslod street ,
and then turned east on Water street.
Ho was half way to Dos Plaluos street
when live men sprang from the sidewalk.
Ono solzod the horses by the reins while the
others covered Croighton with rovolv-
vers nnd commnndod him to keep
quiet. The team was then led to the
alloy extending north from Muplo- street
and then , while ono of the men covered
Crelghton with n revolver , the others forced
open the door of the wagon nnd hastily so-
Icctlnp the reglbtered pouches made oft
through tho-uUey.
{ .liberated the Driver.
Creighton's guard kept the c , ptlvo cov
ered tor llvo minutes and then loft , him.
The thoroughly frightened driver , whipping
up his horses , drove as rapidly as possible to
the main postoffioo , whore ho reported the
affair.
An Inventory was then made of the
contents of the wagon and it was
found that the two registered mail pouches
from the stoclt yards station and these of tbo
southern station nnd Blue Island station were
missing. The value of the contents the offi
cials were unable to dotcrmlne , but it la
known to bo heavy.
Crelghton in the dark was unable to dis
tinguish the features and scarcely the forms
of his assailants , except the ono who stood
guard. The latter was nbout live foot ton
inches tall , and were a dnrk cap pulled down
over his eyes.
\ \ Inn Th y Obtained.
Some tlrno after midnight n rumor was
current that ono of the robbers had been
nrreslcd , but the report was denied by In- >
specter Schnack.
As nearly ns can bo estimated the robbers
secured In the neighborhood of $0,000 in cur
rency and nbout $200,000 worth of nonnegotiable -
negotiable paper sent by the Druvorsandtba
Stock Yards National banks to their corre
spondents. The latter Item will bo of little
use to the bandits , but'will cause an endless
amount of trouble and confusion in tho.
llnancial circles involvod.
