Agrnm to TIIM Bnu.J Should the South Da
kota constitutional convention have a few
ruoro dnyn so busy as this it wouldn't taKe
long to revise , correct nncl adopt the whole
constitution. When the roll of committees
was called about n dozen reports wore sub
mitted. These wcro largely routine , cm-
bracing a largo part of the Sioux Falls con
stitution , with only such verbal changes us
Bhould clearly be made. The federal rela
tions committee reported favorably the reso
lution asking coogress to appoint a commls-
nlon and make an appropriation for a geolog
ical and hydrographle survey of Daltota.wlth
n view especially of investigating llio extent
of tbo artesian well basin , Wore Dakota to
contlQio as n territory it is doubtful wliothcr
congress would grant the rciinost , but , with
so tunny new senators and members from
the northwest. It Is generally thought that
favorable notion will bo taken. Beneficial
results , ngnutilturall.y und mechanically , are
expected.
Of the nix reports which wore made yes
terday , five 'were tnkeu up and adopted , as
follows : On compensation of public ofll--
COTS' , on public accounts und expenditures.
on amendments und revision of the consti
tution , .on corporations other than banking
and municipal , on the bill of rights on mu
nicipal corporations.
Pending the adoption of these reports
several members mmlo a special point to
. ha vo the record show that the report ex
pressly stated that no chnngo had been
made , nnd hereafter reports of committees
will Invariably specify the chaniros , ff nny.
The committee on schedules has lost its
grip on the Australian ballot system. The
subject has boon thoroughly considered nnd
the committee to-dav rojclnded its former
action to rccommond thu adoption of the
Australian system.
The Judiciary committee reported a reso
lution Unit this convention has no authority
to allow members of the convention of 18ST >

of county oillccr.s are In the city to learn
what construction the constitutional conven

County und. Township Oi-ennizition.
HIIMAIICK , N. D. , July 10. [ Special Tolo-
grnm to THIS BIB.J The constitutional con
vention passed the day in discussing the
question of county nnd township organiza
tion. The high license men are beginning to
realize that they made a mistake in intro
ducing a proposition to have the high license
question submitted to u vote nt the snine
tlmo with prohibition , find mnny high licence
won are opposed to having it embodied in
the constitution , ami would vote against
both propositions. Thus would the high
license vote .bo divided. The license men
wjll probably withdraw theirpropositionand
inako the light squarely on prohibition. A
proposed article was Introduced to-day , call
ing for the election of n state board to IIL CSS
railroads , providing that railroad property
shall bo assessed as the propoity of InUlvid-

Thu capital location question i becoming
oo.r . one of the great bones of contention. It has
r , been proposed to locate all of the
public institutions by constitutional
provisions , thus taking the question out of
the handii of tha legistnlura If this is done
the convention will also locate the capital.
An nrgmnentthat stiongthens the proposi
tion with delegates representing districts ,
now having or expecting un inuitutlon , is
fruit thnt it gives them nn opportunity of taking
llci- advantage of the Immense land grant made
llci"i by congress for the public institutions. Some
mi say they believe In locating the institutions ,
KI but fear they will displease their con
stituents , as this wus not an Issue In the cam
IK. nth paign. Another question on which the judl
clary committee is laboring is as to whether
the supreme court ahull hold all of Us ses
sions at the capital or bo migratory. It lius
been propobcd by some tohavothecourtsltat
Bismarck. Fargo and Grand Forks , holding
ono term In each place each year. This plan
is opposed by lawyers.
The Joint commission for the division of
thn territorial property between the states IH
nt work on thn books , nnd has discovered
that instead of North Dakota Imvini : received
more money out ot the general funds ( mean
ing monoj aside from the bonded debt for
public buildings ) than South Dakota , South
I Dakota bus ncalvod f22,000 more than North
Dakota. The commission can not possibly
complete Its labors in less than two or three
weeks.
To add to the Interest in the political situa
tion , which Is now exciting mid intorcstlijg
in North Dakota , Henry Payne , thu Ohio
politician , arrived this morning ; and , al
though he says nothing , it Is understood that
he is here to counsel and advise with the re
publicans with regard to the upproaching
campaign The democrats will meet here
to-morrow for the purpose of crganizlng thu
democratic central committee ot North 13n-

of having some of the Best speakers of the

tion of signing. At two of these councils the

that they were under the conviction that it
was right. They scein to feel that the in
evitable Is coming , nnd wish to submit now
to obtain the best results. This feeling
may change from evil persuasion ,
but it is now hopeful. Reports coino
In from the councils held In camp
this afternoon that Little-No-Heart nnd
ono or two others have become reconciled to
the new condition and will sign the bill in
the morning , but do not wish to do so now ,
as they are fearful lest others bo there to
prevent them from signing.
Hump's ' band are carefully kept from any
contact with these who are supposed to be in
favor of the hill , though this chief is on
especial favorite of the government and has
been heaped with favors. He Is now chief
of the Indian police , with the rank of major ,
but ho is far from being much In favor of
any measure looking to the civilization of his
people. A special examiner of pensions
visited this agency to take his declaration
for a pension , he having served under Gen
eral Miles nt n scout. This may huvo
seine Influence with htm in bringing
into line these squaw men and half
bloods who havi ) been lukewarm in
their supportof this bill if not absolutely
opposed. They are now declaring them
selves as favorable In order to bo in a posi
tion to go with the crowd. At this writing
it Booms that the hard work being done by
these favoring the bill would bo effective
ana a larce majority of the signatures here
would be obtained.
White Swan is still out of the fold nnd is

In the Mont-y Blnrkcr.
Nr.w YOUK , July 10. [ Special Telegram to
THU BEE. ] A special to the Times from
Washington says Secretary of the Treasury
U'lndom is not troubled by the published re
ports that the reserve in the Now York
banks is getting dangerously low , and that
there are no indications of a stringency in
the money market which may call for some
action by the treasury department. The
secretary said to-day that ho could see no
evidence of money huing light , from the fact
that while tlio department offered to buy
bonds at a liberal figure the offers wcro not
numerous.
"If money was in demand , " ho continued ,
"bonds would not be held back as they now
are. The price wo have established is a lib
cirnl ono , and on the bonds the holders are
getting only about 3 per cent , while on the
4 > s the interest is only a trifle over 1J , yet
there is no great alacrity shown
by the holders of these bonds to
Bull them to the government and
convert them into cnsh. It is true
that the people who hold bonds are not the
people who want money , but what can I dot
\Vo dare not go to work and oiler a price far
in excess of their value , so as to induce the
people to sell their bonds to the government ,
the price wo are now paying being all that
they are worth. " Mr. Windom picked up
the dally report made by tlio treasurer of
the United States showing the disposition of
the public funds , and after .glancing nt the
figures continued : "Tho nurplm now
amounts in round figures to $ r > 'JUOO,000 , of
which , according to this report , $15,000,000 ,
Including the current balance , is in the
hands of the banks and $14,000,000 is in the
treasury. The money in the banks is about
tlio same as wtan Mr. Fairchild was secre
tary of the treasury. It IIU'H been reduced
soinouhut , but not very much , asl wanted to
bo conservative and did not care to do any
thing which might disturb trade. It is true
this amount might be Increased , but I do not
bellovo in the plan nnd should not care 10 in
crease the amount without action by con
gress ; so you sea thu great bulk of the sur
plus is in the bunks to bo used by tno people ,
and the treasury could not do very much
more unless authorised by congress. "
"Will you increase tno purchase of
sllvcri" Mr. Wlndoin was asked.
"No , " was his reply In a very cmphutio
tone. "I sco no indications of a stringent
money market , " the t > ecrelary added , "ami
the reports which roach me do not show that
it Is generally feared. Since 1 have been In
the treasury department 1 can safely say
that I have not rccived a half dozen appeals
for money or request * that the donartmeul
would liberate money. I have not heart
that the Now York banks were losing their
money , and the general Impression convoyed
to mo has been that money was plentiful. "

Chief Warner , ot the U. A. H. , was In this

tha attendance at thu coming Milwaukee

"If the 1 cent rate had been carried Into

"What pension measures will be advocatet
by the encampment ! "
"I think tno dependent pension bill will be
relndorscd and 1 think the old soldiers uro
all in favor of the service pension bill. "
The commander also thinks some action
will bo taken at Milwaukee looking to the
recognition of the Sons of Veterans In such
a way that they uiav bo brought Into closer

LONDON , July 10. [ Now , "YV > rk Herald
Cable Special to THB Beitl The royal
grants committee mot' attain to-day and sep
arated without getting any nearer n-solution
of cho problem before It'.than it war nt the
close of the first deliberation , It looks very
much ns it it had got into an linpawo , but ot
course aomo sort of settlement must be ar
rived nt before long , for the present utato of
affairs exerts rather too great a strnln on all
ho members to bo , kept up. Tlio stumbling
> lock remains proclcoly what it was the ro-
'usal ' of the government to consent to
glvo n positive guarantee that
10 future application for grants
hall bo tnnaa on behalf of the queen' * child
ren-outside of the family of the prince of
Wales. It must bo assumed that the minis
try would not have fought so hard on this
point if they were not "guided j > y the wishes
expressed in the very highest quarters. It is
scarcely likely that the government would
keep up sucti a contest dayfaftor day on their
own responsibility. They want to Und some
via media If they can and their proposals ad
mit of no no. If they Insist upon reporting
: o the house in favor of future prants , or re
fuse to Insert positive conditions iignlnst
them , it is very certain that a hot nnd bitter
controversy will nn o and greater feeling
will bo aroused in the country than it is at
all desirable to excite.
Labouchro handed In n report , which was
read before the committee and Inut aside
without comment. It condemned any further
? rant to a member of the royal family on
any terms , with an emphatic ho to the pres
ent application on behalf of Prince Victor
and Princess Louisa , and , by anticipation ,
to nil future applications of the sumo kind.
A rooort In committee , llko n bill in the
house , is read a first , second nnd third time ,
and the report shelved. It will , however ,
bo published , nnd no doubt , Wlll bo read with
much satisfaction by tboso who nirco with
Labouchrc. and with much disapproval by
those who do not. ' ,
The resolutions submitted Uy the govern
ment on Thursday and pocketa ! by La
bouchro wore nlso ordered , entered on the
minutes , so they also will see light as well ,
for the government must make a. virtue of
necessity , for if they had not published the
resolutions some ono else would nnvodono so
The matter now goes over to Monday. Any
thing llko a united report ticms out of the
question , und if the controversy is kept open
much longer it is quite possjblo that an ad
ditional clement of danger may bo Imported
"
into it. '
Ono of the chief liberal members of the
committee has received notice of n vote from
bis local organization , passed without dissen
sion , calling upon him to oppose the grant to
the Prince of Wales' children. If ho obeys
the mandate ho must de'scrt Gladstone ,
which would be very hard for him to do. If
ho docs not he may lose his scat , which
would bo harder still.
The incident serves to show what an awk
ward subject this is to' ( Veal with , and the
longer it lingers tha moi-o awkward it will
become. A respite o ; .sqrao kind may per
haps bo presented < Moiulqy. A prolonged
und acrimonious dlscussiouj mjiy'be expected.

city , against Matthias Splltlog , the million
aire Indian railroad and land owner , In
which she alleges that on August 1 , 1888 ,
Splitlog violently and unlawfully assaulted

"Splitlog went away-some time ago. "
