The rohibition question is taking
sotno original runs in the constitutional
convention of North lakota. There aro
now fonraeparnte sud distinct proposi
tions Iwfore the convention for the dis
posal of the question. Cump, of StuU
nian county, submitted a plan whereby
prohibition mid hih license shall bo
voted upon id the same time. He pro
poses that when the constitution is sub
mitted to tho people the question of
prohibition snd high license shall be
submitted separately. If high license
carries, the minimum license is to be
81,000. This is a novel plan for submis
sion, and is (wpiilar with all save the
alolute and uncompromising, prohibi
tionists in the convention. Jt is pre
dicted to-day that it will be adopted,
and if it is tlin chances are in favor of a
high license victory. But the greatest
Iximb was the proposed article of
I'.lettett, of Htutsumn, which provides
that if at any time the people or the leg
i. I. turn nroliihit the sale or manufacture
of intoxicating liquor the state shall

there are many delegates who would
pass it did thoy fear prohibition, un.ler
the circumstances it will hardly be given
serious consideration. ,

Albert liulow was hanged at Little
Falls, Minn., on the 19th, under the
new Minnesota law requiring executions
to occur between the hours of 1 and 5
a. m. Billow's last day develoed no
fx cial incident. He had retired to rest
at 1 a. m. and slept soundly until 8, but
awoke in rather a shaky condition and
scarcely touched his breakfast. Jailer
Laud gave him a drink of liquor at 9
a. m., another alxiut 11, and the effect
was to restore his Confidence and spirits
and enable him to eat a hearty dinner nt
1 o'clock. During the afternoon he was
less comisised than usual, but exhibited
a great amount of coolness,
lie did not sing his hvmn as was ex
pected, but talked with the watch and
seemed entirely prepared for the ordeal
before him. As the day wore along his
nervousness increased. AVhen evening
came Bulow showed les3 nerve than
ever and sent his supper away un
touched, though he took some milk and
drank w ith avidity the liquor that was
supplied. Several drinks were tend
ered him up toward midnight and he
smoked constantly. He had no thought
of sleep nor had hi prison mates. Later
on he bade the Mitchell boys, his prison
companions, farewell, in a quiet way,
and divided among them and tho death
watch a small sum he had taken in as
proceeds ot tlie sine oi nis poem, w nicu,
liy the way, it was discovered this uftcr
noon, was a plagiarism from the piece
of doggerel written by Charles Oiteau
while in the jail at Washington.
At 11 o clock Ins new clothes wore
taken into his cell and after a bath he
donned them and was ready. From that
time forward his uneasiness increased
yery rapidly and it was only by a great
effort that he could keep still for a mo
ment, pacing his corridor with a fever
ish, irregular tread. At the last mo
ment he said to one of tho .Mitchells ho
was ready and would dio like a man. At
1 o'clock Sheriff Kasciot, accompanied
by his son, went to the cell of tho
doomed man. At the same time tho
door leading from tho jail to tho enclos
ure was thrown open, and the oflicials
and the nine men chosen by law en
tered. Not a newspaper man was among
the fiimber, the sheriff Having rigidly
i t lm law. The croup formed
itself on the ground below the scaffold
and silently waited.
Presently tlie prisoner was brought
forth. Kev. Donovan prayeil with mm
a few moments and precisely at 1:50, tho
dark hour before the dawn, Sheriff Kas
ciot threw the lever. There was a
plnn"ii, the sudden "chuns"of the ropo
as it reached its length, a slight crack of
the "ibbet, then a few spasmodic quivers
of tho struggling form aud Bulow was a
corpse. .

Jake Kilmin, who arrived ia Balti
more on the mlk, has entirely recovered
from the effects of hi battle. He does
not show a mark of any kiai. In
sieakiug aliout the great fight Kilrain
said squarely that he wag wliipped, but
thought he was largely the victim of
circumstances. When asked directly if
he thought he had been drugged, he
said "No." Johnny Murphy, when
asded the same question, answered that
there was something wrong, but that
for the present his tongue was tied, but
when tlie time came he expected to
make some important revelations.
In speaking about the light, Kilrain
said: "I knew I had not been trained
properly and was not in fit condition to
light Sullivan, but if I had not gone
into the ring people would have said I
was a coward, and 1 meant to tight if I
was killed. The crowd there was
ngainst me, and the referee. I think,
while a square man, was partial to Sulli
van and knew nothing about the rules.
Both he and the crowd were all the
time telling mo to go up to Sullivan and
I went, kumviii'' I would onlv bo
knocked down. Of course tho refereo
had no ri''ht to suv a word, and under
the rules 1 could run all around tlie
ring, but there was no ono but little
Murphy here to coach me, and I blind
ly went up aud took my medicine. The
fact that though I was knocked down
reiwatedly, but not knocked out, shows
Sullivan's terrible blows did not have
the power some people supposed they
did. I could have stood up longer, but
Donovan threw up the sponge in the
excitement, being afraid I would get
killed. My blows for some reason or
other did not seem to have any force.
My arms seemed mninb, but what was

the mode of taxation with the legis

In the Dakota constitutional conven
tion Chairman Cotton of the committee i
on taxation submitted a proposition that
the governor, secretary of state and
state auditor shall constitute the board
of assessors, whose duty it shall be to
assess each year the railroads. Mr. Lin
well introduced a proposition giving the
wife full power to control property be
longing to her at her marriage or ac
quired by gift thereafter. The conven
tion appears unanimous in favor of the
protection of the immense grants of
lamls for school purposes, but are a lit
tle divided as to the plan, ami sevetm
propositions have been introduced on
that subject. The proposition to have
the legislature consist of . a single .body
ia gnming ground with the convention
and has been made a special order for
H.nonmmlHefi of tllO whole tO-m01TOW.
The committee on judiciary has not yet i
reported on the question of establishing
,,t,. iivti and abolishing the office
of justice of the peace. Much interest ,
is felt in this question. Tho joint com- ;
mission for tho division of the property
and debts of the territory between
North and South Dakota held its first
meeting this evening. Only prepara- (
tury normal business was transacted. j
An Ofllce for Hie Prealdmt. j
Colonel Wilson, commissioner of pub- ,
lie buildings and grounds, in his annual
report to the chief engineer, recom-
that an office building be erected
for the use of the president just west of
the white house, and where the green
liouse and conservatory now stands;
the latter, he says, might be built on
the grounds east ot tne wime uuune
between it and the treasury building.
It is believed the time has come when
the chief magistrate of this country
mould no longer be obliged to have Ins
private residence antt omce uimer
Mime roof. The suggestion is made that
the conservatory to be erected might
be connected with the white house
ly a picture gallery opening out of the
east room, and containing lrtw" l
ill the presidents of the United States
and of the ladies who have assisted
Ihem in the social duties devolving upon
the presidents. These ideas are sub-
