mutters to a crista iiuil, coupled with tho
Klootny outlook In South Africa, whose
financial drain upon Orcat Britain Is
dally heavier, whllo tho prospects of re

ratio, contribute to creato great public dis
content and depression, as well as party
demoralization.
It Is fully bcllovcd that tho chancellor
of thn exchequer, Sir Michael HIcks-Dcacli,

being raised In all tho mining and shipping

A peculiarity of tho situation Is that

dramatic silence wns broken by cheer after

crowds that filled all tho vantage ground
in Dounys' yards nnd vicinity.
Oreat crowds assembled upon both banks
0f tho river, who saluted tho new boat with
Crles of "Hopo sho'll win!"
Tho fnlrway was crowded with steamers
nn(i small craft. Thero was a prodigal
display of flags and bunting. Tho chal-

Sir Thomas entertained his guests at a
large lunchoon at Denny's oBlces after the
launching. Tho health of President Mc

after that of tho royal family.
Tho lord provost of Glasgow proposed Sir
Thomas Llpton's health, referring to the
Indomitable persevoranco which had en
obled him to reach the position' he had
achieved today. Ha paid a tribute .to

Sir Thomas in replying, amid frequent
cheers, expressed bis cntiro satisfaction
with the building and designing of tho

Ho had worked night and

Peter Denny proposed tho health of Lady

her with a Jeweled souvenir of tho oc
casion.
Lord Dufterln replied, declaring thero
was not a woman in England who did not
share his wife's hope that tho Shamrock

At the beginning of tho hunting season
was announced that they had taken

went thero nlono. Tho duchess hunted
with tho Hcythorp hounds from Ulenholm
It wus on tho run with theso hounds that
sho met with her accident. Even after tbo

nnd went on for a couple of weeks to

For Christmas the duko and duchess
wero at Blenheim with n small family

been dividing time between London nnd

It is rumored that tho estrangement be

that since ho camo back it has widened.
According to their friends, thero aro faults

considered not unnatural, seeing tho ex
tremoly early ago at which tho duchess
was married.
Tho duko is not popular anywhero. His
senso of his own lraportanco Is overpower

constantly affront tho duchess, for, how
ever anglicized tiho mny have become, sho

Xehranku'a Future.
WASHINGTON, April 20. (Sneclal Tclo
gram.) Mr, Edward Rosewatcr called on
President McKlnley today and was heartily
received by tho chief executive. Tho pres
ident congratulated Mr. Rosewater on the
outcome of tho senatorial election in No
braska and thought tho editor of Tho Bco
had shown splendid devotion to tho rcpub
llcnn party by withdrawing from tho con
test at tho tlmo ho did, thoroby asking tho
Douglas county delegation to support Mr,
Millard. Tho president audMr. Rosewatcr
discussed tho future policy of tho state and
altogether had a real old-fashloncd visit
Mr. Rosowater arranged to present Sena
tors Millatd and Dietrich to tho president
on Tuesday, Senator Millard being expected
to nrrlvo in Washington tomorrow. Later
In tho day the editor of Tbo Boo had on
extended Interview with Chairman Ilanna
of- the national committee and afterward
called at tho State department.
Contcat for Dnkotn Dlatrlct.
The contest that was participated In be
tween Senator Kyla nnd Senator Gambia and
Representative Burko during thu closing
days of tho last congress over the appoint
ment of a collector for tho new Dnkotn In
ternal revenuo district is to bo renewed
hero next week. Messrs. Gamblo and
Burko left Washington several weeks ago
with tho impression that Herman Allcr-
mann of Yankton would ho appointed col
lector and thnt headquarters for tha dis
trict would bo established nt Abcrdcon.
Senator Kylo Is nftcr both appointment nnd
headquarters. His cnndldnto Is C. D. Col
lins of Groton nnd tho probabilities havo
been recently that Collins would lnnd tho
place. The matter has assumed such a
phaso that the warring statesmen regard
tholr presence hero as highly essontial. 'Sen
ator Kylo is tho first arrival and Messrs.
Gamblo nnd Burke nro expected Monday.
It is evident that tho question as to
who is to O. K. tho South Dakota patronagn
has not' yet beon settled, although it Is
expected here that the regular republicans
will flnnlly win.
Iiiilliiu Atretics- Matters.
Thero aro several matters hero requiring
attention of South Dakotans over which
thero aro expected to bo differences of
opinion. Tho Slsseton agoncy and tho dis
missal of Agent Johnson Is ono matter that
will ho discussed with tho officials of tho
Intorlor department, as well as other
pending Indian matters. Thero will bo no
objection to Johnson's dismissal, but tho
abolishment of tho agency will no doubt
bring about a protest from Gamblo and
Burke. Tho ofllclals say that they con
tcmplnto making nn adjustment of tho Sls
seton matter which will bo satisfactory to
South Dakota republicans.
Nehrnakn Indiana Arrive,
Delegations of Indians from tbo Omaha
and Winnebago reservation In Nebraska
have arrived hero, .accompanied by Agent
Mathowson, nnd called on Indian Commis
sioner Tonncr today and arranged for a
formal conference concerning grievances of
tribes.
