Dur ing the afternoon he was less composed than usual , but exhibited a great amount of cool ness. ness.Ho Ho did notnlng his hymn as was expected , but tiilkej with the watch snd seemed en tirely prepared for the ordeal before him. As the day were along his nervousness Increased - creased , and finally , when at 4 o'clock Hov , Donovan , of the Congregational church , cabled to BOO him , Uulow had him admitted nnd listened to what ho had to ay. Up to thla tiliio hu had refused to sec any clergy man. The minister prayed with him and HX- liortcd him to turn bin thoughts heavenward , but llulow made no response When ovoiitiB came Uulow showed less ncrvo than ovur ami sent his supper away untouched , though ho took some milk and drank with avidity thu liciuor that was sup plied. Severn ! drinks were londaicd him up toward midnight and tie smoked constantly. Ho had no thought of sloop nor had his prison mates. L itor on ho bade the Mitchell boys , his prison comun ] ions , furowoll , in n quiet way , and divided among them and the death watch n small sum ho hnd taken in as proceeds of the sulo of his potunwhich , by the wayltwas discov ered this afternoon , was .1 plagiarism trom the picco of doggerel written by Chailcs Gultuau whllo in the Jail nt Washington.

Trom that tlmo forwaid his uneasiness increased very ran idly ar.d it was only by n great effort tlmt ho could keep etlll for n moment , pacing his corridor with n feverish , it regular tread. At thu last moment hu said to ono of the Mitchells ho was ready and would dlo like a man. At I o'clock Sheriff Hasciot , accompanied by his non , went to the cell of the doomed man At the siune limo the door leading from the Jail to the enclosure was thiuwn open , and the officials and the nine men chosen by law en tered. Not n newspaper man was amoni. the number , the sheriff having rigidly obeyed the law. Thu group formed Itsnlf on the ground below the scaffold and silently watted. Presently the prisoner was brought , foith , Kov. Donovan prayed with him a few mo ments and precisely at 1 : fiO , the dark hour before the dawn , Sheriff Haseiot throw the lever. There was a plunge , the sudden "cltung" of the rope as it leached its length , n slight crack of ttic gibbet , ttien u few .spas iiiodluquivcis of the btiugglmg form and liulow was u corpse.

'llio body was taken to the ofiicc of the coroner lor the ilmil autopsy. Tlio crime for whien Hulow suffered was n most cold-blooded mid atrocious murder , deliberately planned and only partiallj suc cessfully can led out. The victim wus Fianklin Licit , a well to-do bachelor farmer living at BnchiiKui , about ten miles south of hero.

W. H. Smith put n good face upon the matter in the iiouso ulid Hcomod to bo confident the committee would complete Its labors to-day it may bo that thU hope will bo icull/cd , but if it in It can be only by the government practically receding from the position which it has taken. When any clIIToroncos of opinion ixriso It Is always well to ascertain lib sooix us possible what each party Is dilvlng at. Now in this case what tha government has been endeavoring to gut at still seeks to leave the claims of thu younger branches of the royal family open fur futuio consideration. The children of the Prlnco of Walts nro to luivo bomo pio\slou ! made for thorn dlroctly or indirectly ; tliitt much is certain. If thu government could have been content with it the committee might have reported yostoulay , but It Is not willing to Bliut tha door cm any futuiu claims which may bo madu In behalf of other graudchll. ill en. The qucon desired to taku what could bo got now and leave the test to lluio uud chance.

Tim ROV * crumenl did net feel itulf ready to concede thin requirement , and it endeavored to sub stitute a series of resolutions which were for separata allowances to thu prince's children nnd a recognition of their future rights. H must bo plainly stated that these tactics en countered a severe defeat. The resolutions were withdrawn , nnd Mr. Smith expressed the hope that they would bo kept secret. Anything moro Impolitic than to produce them , and In printed form , it would bo diffi cult to imagine. There is ground for hope , however , that this mlsUiko may bo rectllled , and that thu excellent sense of Smith will yet guldo the committee- an Issue which will bo satisfactory to the country.

The head man of this tribe arose first nd asked questions in regard to including white men in tbo trcity of lt > 08 , to which General Crook briefly replied. The name of Rosebud was then taken up and commented > n. These Indians have some way gotten the idea that there nro many names ou the roll it that aconoy for which there are no living 'cprcscntatlvus. The method of signing was .lieu fully explained b.v Governor Fos ter. This matter having been explained plained so that there could bo no moro complaint , the price of the land was brought forward. The Indians stated thr.t .his . bill was not In accordance with what .hoy . had talked about with the Great Father .vlien . in Washington last fall. To this Gov ernor foster replied by reading the agree ment as made by tno Indians in writing hist 'all and left with the secretary of the in- .erlor , showing It to bo signed by the very chlofs who are now in opposition. Tills icomcd to bQ the principal objection , upon ivhich they preached all the morning , Charger uud Crow Eiglo giving this as a 'eaturo about which they aio not at all latlslleil. General Crook addressed the Indians In about this language : "Thero nro some half breeds who llvo ou your reserva tion and giazo largo numbers of cattle on your land , and they and their women are op posed to tills bill and advisu you not to sign tliis treaty. I lo.we It to you if these men advise you for your Interest or their own benefit ) You have been told many things which are entiruly false , In regard to pay- lug taxes and other things by them , and I want to raalte it perfectly clear to you that upon you rests a great responsibility in de ciding this mattur , as you must look out. not only for yourselves but for your children in the future. You should now prepare to leave something for your families und something which no ono can take away from you. Some time before the Black Hills treaty was signed miners went into that country , und I was sent out to remove them. At first I had no diflieulty m taking them out , but soon they Crow so many that I could not keep them out. As fast as I took them away from onu place they came in at another. It will be tlio sauio here , and the white innu will soon bo hero in numbers to crowd you out. " The situation In the Indian territory was then detailed and the obvious lesson given them was presented. An appeal was made to all to act Independently uud use their own judgment , nnd not follow blindly the leadership of their chiefs. Tno rolls were then dis played and signatures Invited. No sooner were tliu white sheets spread upon the table than two ioung Indian bucks iu paint and breech-clouts arose mid threatened to brain anyone who should first touch tlio pen. An Indian policeman promptly took charge of thu young men and led them away. This ODon attempt at intimidation aroused Gen eral Crook , who gave the Indians a plain statement of the situation , saying : "I want it very distinctly uudutstood that no nalntod , breech-clouted Indian will bo al lowed to interfere in any way with the signIng - Ing of tills treaty. If there mo not police enough hero to protect ovcry signer I will bnntr enough soldiers to do so , ami b ar tins m mind , that if I do bring soldiers hero 1 will make it waim for you " When the threat was flrst made General Crook took hold of the back of his chair with the evident intention of braining the Indians , but ho contented himself with telling them the plain , unvarnished tiuth of the matter , instead. It looked warm for a inument , but tlie police were soon ranged in two lines and those who signed passed out between them. Chase tlie-Crow , n H.ul Hivor Indian , was the fhst t ) sign , followed by High Eagle , of nuothur band upon the Moreau river. At this limo there are about ninety signatures on the lolls , and a feiv moro are being aOdcd all the time. Since the break has been made It Is hoped to keep the good woik pro gressing steadily until .onouarn names are obtained , The attempt at violence hero is the lirst nc tn ill threat of the kind yet made in the entire canvass , uud this comes from a band who was brought here fiom Poplar uvor , Montana , a few years ago and denominated commonly us "the hostlles. " Some doubt has been ex- prusiud as to whether they are really a part of the tribe intciestcd in tlio reservation , not having signed the tic.ity of IblJS or of 187l > . Should this view of the casu bo ucccptcil thu situation would bo shorn of many diffi culties. OLiI ) ENOUGH TO KNOW UI3TTEII. An Octouciiiirinn 1'ruhontn Swindler ? With S5.OOO. ST.

[ Special Telegram - ogram to TUB Uns.J hi the South Dakota constitutional convention yesterday , upon the call of committees , fully a dozen chair men promised to report to-day , but the in- .onso heat seems to Imvo inspired n imposi tion to do nothing lo-day which can bo put off until to-morrow , and as a result flvo re ports only were received and la none of them has any change been made In the arti cles as they appear In the Sioux Falls consti tution. Indeed It was settled nt the begin ning without formal action that as the con stitution of 1SST was practically ratified no change except thosu spocillically enumer ated In the omnibus bill , could bo made , but for fear that some possible clause maybe bo Inserted hero , or phrase omitted there , some members are keeping most diligent watch. The reports thus fur made , for in stance , specify that the articles submitted are In accordance with thu Sioux Falls con stitution and omnibus bill , but this does not satisfy Humphrey , of Fuulk , who moved that the icports of standing commit tees should clearly and plainly set foith what uhangos , if any , huvu bcun made. ThU shows thu uxtromo caution of members lost anything Ijo done which CAII iniorfero with the ultimate admission. Jolloy , of Clay , saw no necessity for lumbering the ipcords. but Humphrey per.sistoa that the jouinal should show every act of the convention and every change made iu the Sioux Falls con stitution. Tlio judicial committee- this evening com pleted its report. It has made eight judicial districts , two of which are iu the 131ack Hills. A dtulculty was found in satisfying the central counties with this , und possibly a minority report may go in defining these districts. Legislative ap portionments the most important work of iho convention , und the apportionment com mittee Is Undine some trouble with several ambitious counties la Central Dakola. This commillco will not report for some time jet. Two United States senutorships uro Involved and possibly ono senator or extra representa tive added to this or that county may deter mine the success or failure of certain can didates , and. as will bo scun , great interest centers around this committee. Tin : .Northern Unit. BIBUAKCK , N. D. , July 18. [ Special Tele gram to TIIK Buu.j This has been n dull day n North Dakota's constitutional convention , but the committees have some interesting times. The oomuiittoo on juuiclary decided against the establishment , of county courts as In favor of retaining tlio ofllue of justice of iho peace. The committee also agreed to recommend six judicial districts for North Dakota , and the election of an appellate court , which shall bo separata and distinct from the district courts. The prohibition question is earning ground very slowly , in fact it looks as though it were losing strength. It is said to bo oven doubt ful if the convention will even submit the question to n vote of the people without at Ilia same time submitting the question of high license , and that means an inglorious doio.it for the prohlbitiomsls aud an overwhelming victory for high license. This is the veidict of the most conservative. Judge Cooley , of the inter state commerce commission , departed for ilio west to-day and it is said ho Is making a tour of the west on busiuoss of vital impoitance to the North ern Pacilio nnd other transcontinental roads. The commission for the division of the property and debt of the territory between the states of North Dakota and South Da kota mot to-duy , but adjourned without reaching an agreement with regard to a basis of division. It looks as though there is a storm ahead for Iho commission. An article w.is introduced in the convention to-day prohibiting the forming of trusts , and providing for the for feiture of thu clmitur or franchise of any company violating tlio constitution m this respect : also prohibiting the keeping of a black list D.v railroads against their own or other company's employes , and giving every clti/on to seek nnd accept employment and making the keeping of black lists by a com pany a misdaineunnr , punishable us a felony. The senatorial fight progresses , and many changes in thu slates nro being made. The latest political move is tnu organisation of it young republican league of North Dakotans , so that , as ono of the young patriots ex pressed It , "Tho colonels must give pluco to the kids. " Temporary ofllcors woru elected , and it was agreed to hold the first regular meeting at Fargo on August 'JO. Matters at llclonn. HKI.KKA , July 18.
