, FAU.S , S. D. , July 23. [ Special
Telegram to TUB Bui : . ] To-day's session of
the South Dakota constitutional convention
was well attended and good progress wa *
made. Ten reports were ndoptcd and added
to the finished work. Among those wns the
nrtlclo on exemptions , which Is as follows :
The right of the debtor to enjoy the comforts
und necessaries of life shall bo recognized by
Wholcsomo laws ; exempting from forced
ala a homestead , the value of which shall bo
limited' ' and defined by law , to all heads of
families , nnd n reasonable amount of per
sonal property , the kind nnd value of which
is to bo fixed by genornl laws ; the legisla
ture , therefore , will determine the limitation
of exemptions.
Under the present law Dakota Is the best
Blaco In the Union for the debtor who does
not core to pay his debts. The law exempts
n homestead without limit as to value and
$1,600 worth or personal property. For sev
eral years tba loglslatlvo assembly has vainly
tried to rcduco their assessment and miilco
possible the collection of debts. The consti
tution simply provides that a homestead
shall bo limited in valuo. The effect of so
liberal nn exemption is nn immense number
of chattel mortgages at a high rate of in
terest.
The federal uuproiiriutton will doubt
less curry the convention through until
the last of next week. Twenty-six hundred
dollars has been reserved for printing , nnd
tbo mileage account will bo llttlo short of
fl > ,000. The Individual mlloago varies from
$231 to nothing , the fatted picking of course
colng to the Black Hills members. This will
leave about f 12r > 00 , whicti will carry the con
vention for about thirty du.vs , or until
AURU-U J ) . As the Bismarck committee will
bo back at least by thut tlmo , the delegates
will not need to bo very long without their
per diem.
An Attempt to Defer Acllon.
Sioux FAI.I s , S. D. , July 23. Au attempl
was made to defer action on the report ol
tbo committee on judiciary until Thursday ,
possibly with the purpose of tiring out the
delegations that have como from tbo dissat-
Juflcd districts to lobby for the defeat of the
majority report , and tlio now deal iu the ar
rangcmont of the judicial districts. The re
port was finally made a special order for to
morrow , nt which tiuio Its udopt'.on will bo
hotly contested and un attempt uiudo to sub
atltuto the minority report. The feeling is
general that the arrangement of the districts
is excellent , and the report of the committee
Will probably bo adopted.
A notable feature of to-day's proceedings
was the presentation of u commuulcntior
from the American Sabbath Union , signet
by Elliott i'1. Sllcpard , Major General How
ard , J. H. ICno\vles und Wilbur F. Crafts ,
Hiking the convention to Insert in the con
stitution a provision protecting and uiicour-
nglng Sabbath observance. Ti.e communi
cation was referred to u special committee of
live , including three clerical delegates. The
committee on legislative appointments
reached an agreement to-day on
senatorial apportionment , by which the
number of districts Is fixed at
forty-ono und the senators forty-five , the
latter being the limit provided in the consti
tution. The arrangement is practically in
nccord with the upportlontmont agreed upon
some tlmo ago , bolng a senator for every
1,800 voters or u major fraction thereof. ' 1 ho
report of the committee was not unanimous ,
standing 18 to 0. Tin minority object that
the number of senators Is too great for thu
present population , nnd that the counties
having a Voting population of 2,000 and over ,
gel but ono senator , whllo the other counties
having 1,100 or 1,200 votcis are equally rep
resented.

OLYHIMA , W. T. , July 23. Terry wants to
bo the tlrst governor , und undoubtedly will ,
as ho has no rival for the republican nomi
nation , but it was thought whou the legisla

if the warring factions could agrco on no ono

, < Joning power reported this morning among
other things a proviso that the governor
hall bo ineligible for the oDlco of senator.

NEW YOIIK , July 23. [ Special Telegram
to TUB Uiu : . ] Dishop McQuald , of the diocese
cese of Rochester , who has been > in Rome
for several months , returned homo yesterday
on the steamer La Mormaudlc. The bishop
declared that the reports of the pope's ill-
health were In the main gross exaggerations
una promulgated for various reasons. Ho
bad Had numerous Interviews with his holi
ness nnd hud oven seen him the day previous
to hh departure for this country. Ho was
then in excellent health , and buoyant spli its
and seemed to curry his great age of four
score years as lightly as many men carried
half that number. Other reports which have
been published of late that the pope was pre
paring to leave Koine and hud nlrendy made
arrangements to purunasu a scat in Spain
were , ho thought , Groundless , as the clergy
of Rome knov nothing of such u plan. Uc-
gardlng Cardinal Giobons1 chuncesof becom
ing pope , which have been talked of and
written of recently , the bishop said that
thev amounted to practically nothing. "In

broud smllo upon hi * lips , "tho latest report
which I heard before I loft Rome was thut u
certain member of the Now York press waste
to bo the chosen successor of Pope Leo. I
only say that , " he added , breaking into n
laugh , "to provo what llttlo truth there can
bo In such rumors. Naturally the fact of
his being an American does not bar him
from succession to the poncttlcal chair , but
the cardinals of the pupal collcuo rccocnlzo
the fact that owing to tlut present state of
affairs and the peculiar political combinations
nnd complications in Ituly , an Italian pope is
un absolute necessity.

spondent nt Rome says : "I am authorized to
BtiUu that the principal reason for convening

The "Whole Story Denied.
CHICAGO , July 23. [ Spoclal Tolcgratu to
Tim UKK. ] It is predicted that the caption ,
"By James J. West , " which has been at the
head of the editorial columns of the Times for
some months past , Is destined soon to take n
plunge Into obscurity. It was told yesterday
how Mr. West hail confessed judgment on a
note for (1UU70 hold by the Commercial Na
tional bank , nnd rumor says that it xvas only
tbo beginning of n move to oust Mr. West
from the control of the 'rimes. The trouble
began ubout the 1st of July , when Mr. West
went away on a vacation and Mr. Huiskamp ,
of Kcokuk , la. , onoof the principal owners
of the paper , came on to look over the busi
ness. Mr. Hulskiimp found some things that
didn't suit him and made au Investigation.
The Investigation proceeded and was a most
fruitful ono. Said ono of the Investigators
to a reporter :
"Tho mismanagement Is of the most glar
ing nature. The hideous head of blackmail
was frequently disclosed. The details can
not at present bo disclosed. They will , how
ever , come out later. Wo have found that
Mr. West has been obtaining largo sums of
money ns an Individual , giving the notes of
the Times company as security. Further , It
looks as If ho had sold the Times building for
300,000 und pocketed the proceeds. What ho
has done \vitti the money no ono knows. It
was thought ho might have speculated exten
sively , but there Is nothing to show that ho
did. Ono thing wo do know , ho lived ex
ceedingly high. His manner of raising
the money to supply domestic tastes
and needs Is interesting. Ho started
in by borrowing about 533,000 from
George M. IBoguo , giving security.
Ho then borrowed about 523,000 from Lyman
J. Gage , of tbo First National bank , to
whom ho gave a second mortgage. He then ,
It Is claimed , induced Mr. Gage , as a per
sonal favor , not to put the second mortgage
on record. West gave as a reason for the
request a desire to keep his credit Intuct.
Ho then , it is said , borrowed a similar
amount from John II. Irwln , of Keokuk , n
big stockholder of tbo paper , giving him a
third mortgage , but intimating that It wus _ u
second Itch. That also for a time kept off
the records. When it is known that Irwin
is tbo ono who bus befriended West from the
beginning and to whom ho owes bis position ,
the dishonor of the borrower is rendered
very conspicuous. "
"How did Mr. West get control of the
Times I"
"Tho same way ho got control of the Mail
Infinite assurance , immense daring and
suuvo address. By those qualities ho got
Into the Mall management and tticn an
nounced himself ready to assume all the ob-
llgatious of the paper. Well , ho assumed
them , but that's all the good it did the cred
itors. The Mail wus a trifle small for his
restless ambition , and his eye lit on tbo
broad field offered by the Times. His ussur-
ance , daring and address enabled him to
form the syndicate and to impress upon
the members his ability to ussuuio obliga
tions , and ns ho professed to have $180,030 In
available securities his tnlk was swallowed.
In reality ho didn't ' have 180,000 cents. His
first move after getting possession was to
displace Storey's uutno from the head of
the editorial column and put his own
there instead. Ho had no more right
than I buvo to do 1 % but ho did it without
consulting anyone. After the substitution
was made , however , more harm than good
would have followed its displacement , so it
was allowed to remain. This prominence
gave him great influence , nnd financial man ,
naturally believing him to bo the main owner
of the paper , listened to him with favorable
cars. The stock ho owned was represented
by the Mull , which he turned over to the
Times company. Some months after ob
taining control he fell out with Snowden
nnd fired him. With bis massive confidence
ho announced himself editor in ctiief of the
paper , notwithstanding ho know nothing of
editorial management and couldn't write a
paragraph to save hlmsolf. fn February last
he took the managing editorship from Joseph
Uunlup , nn old newspaper man. Dunlup re
mained on the editorial stuff , but had noth
ing more to do with directing the paper. By
taking the managing editorship West , was
more able to carry on his peculiar financial
methods. Ho borrowed sums from many
persons , among them Mr. Odcll , of the Union
National bank , and in January got $1,000
from Mr. Dunlup , to whom ho gave bis own
check payable the next day , una Mr. Duulnp
has the check yet. The investigation also
unearthed the fact that West had , without
authority , Increased the stock of the Times
company nnd Bold it , an ofTenso , by the way ,
punishable by a term in the penitentiary.
"Two weeks ago Martin J. Russell , chief
editorial writer , became disgusted by the
fuels unearthed by the Investigation and re
signed. Yesterday Mr. Uunlap resigned.
In a few days Mr. West will resign , but for
different reasons. Ho holds on uy a tech
nical point , but bis grip will very shortly bo
loosened , Mr. Frank Weigley , the indorser
of West's note , said that his professional
connection with West would not permit him
to sneak of the muddle In detail ;
"I will toll you , however , " ho said , "that
though at ono tlmo I wus Mr. West'n at
torney , I have now withdrawn from hf ! In
dividual service , but I am still a director of
the Times and the attorney for the paper.
The company Is perfectly solvent , Is strongly
backed , and will in a few days be sailing
along all right. In the meantime , you must
understand I have nothing to do with Mr.
West personally. "
Duonno , the city editor of the Times and
West's right hand man. declares the whole
story regarding the retirement of West to bo
a ho.
"How about the presence In this city of
Messrs. Huiskamp and Irwlul" ho was
asked.
"Some tlmo ago Mr. West found himself
unable to run the business und editorial de
partments , BO bo Induced Mr , H. J , Huis
kamp to become business manager , Mr.
HulskauiD and Mr. Irwln are both men of
largo means and leisure and frequently came
to Clucaeo for pleasure. Their being here
now Is not ut all significant. The paper is
making money and is all right , BO is Mr.
West. "

WASHINGTON. D. C. , July 2J1. j
The secretary of the Interior has finally
announced definitely that ho proposal to
comply with Commissioner Tanner's re
quest , nnd to have n thorough Investigation
of tbo manner in which pensions bavo boon
rc-rntcd and cases in nile special in that
ofllco. It is possible that the Investigation
will bo In the nature of n comparative anal
ysis of tbo methods in vogue for a year past ,
nnd it is moro than likely that It will show
that whllo the prcsout commissioner has
adopted n liberal policy , ho has not In any
Instance gene outsldo the strict letter of the
law. nor has ho been more reckless in the
matter of malting cases special und of ro-
rating old pensions than was his predecessor ,
In spite of the dally howls which
have boon Kept up In the mug
wump papers ncralnst Mr. Tanner there
is not the faintest ground for the statement
printed broadcast that tbo president Is ells-
satisfied with his management of the ofllco.
It is probable that there would have been no
commission and no Investigation but for the
persistence of Mr. Tanner himself , who ,
while bearing up without a murmur against
the abuse which baa boon tired In upon him ,
has considered it duo to his superior officers
that the publio should have n chance to
know just what hns been done slnco the be
ginning of his administration nbout four
months ago. Mr. Tanner has not tbo slight
est fear ns to the result of such investigation.
In fact ho courts it , and is convinced , as nro
others wiio bavo a knowledge of
the methods now prevailing there ,
that an examination will show a
vast improvement over the management
of thu sauio ofllco during Mr. Cleveland's '
administration. Mr. Tanner , instead of
treating an applicant for a pension us a fraud
and imposition ut tbo outset , bus started in
with the Idea that every man who ffiught for
his country bus a right to usk for a pension ,
under tbo law. Each , from the humblest to
the ir.tist powerful , has been given an oppor
tunity to present bis case , und even in those
instances where special facilities wore
granted , the poor man without an attorney
received just as much consideration as the
member of congress when ho succeeded Iu
reaching the commissioner's car.
THE INTKUNATIONAL CONORnSS.
The appointment of Mr. W. E. Curtis , the
well known author and correspondent , to a
position as an agent of the state department
in connection with the forthcoming Interna
tional American congress , wus made by tile.
Bluino because of the familiarity of Mr. Cur
tis with South American nfTairs. His duties
wilt occupy three or four months , nnd thu
first work done will bo to prepare the
way for the trip which Is to bo given to the
delegates to the principal cities of tbo. coun
try. As soon us the congress organizes the
members will bo taken through tbo coun
try .at tbo exponRo of thogovernment
of the United States. The trip will extend
from Boston to Omaha , and the programme
contemplates a visit to all the commercial
and manufacturing centers between tlioso
points. It is expected that the cities visited
will co-opcrato with the department in enter
taining tbo visitors , and that all possible
help will bo afforded in giving , them a proper
idea of American methods. Mr. Curtis loft
for New York to-night , where bis headquar
ters will bo at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Ho
will consult the board of trade and other
commercial bodies in the cities to bo visited ,
und will prepare a brief for the American

anything of the kind hud occurred it would
have created the biggest sensation of years ,

this report true ! "

enough for the private Individual to put on
