from the east, where she devoted considera-
BILE time in selecting her stock of fall millin-
cry. The result is that the ladies Of Ottawa

A Runaway.

AS farmer from the north was coming to
town yesterday afternoon the horses took
fright and started on rapid run; turning
into La Sale street, they dragged the wagon
after them, and were not stopped until they
halted In front of A. Frank g. Co.'s, the peo.
pies clothiers. The six boys who were in the
wagon then stepped out and, with the re.
mark, "This is exactly where was bound
for" they entered A. Frank & Co.'s Clothing
House; and each had new suit Of clothes
under his arm and smile on his face as he
emerged later.

PEN BlNA.

Progress of the Division Question in the
Senate.
Washington, July 5-Senator Saunders
to-day called Zip the bill to establish the
Territory of Pembina, to constitute
that portion of Dakota lying north of
the forty-sixth parallel OF latitude. A
very animated discussion, ovoked
by Mr.. Hale and Vest Of Missouri, en-
sued and continued until the senate
went into executive session. Senator
Hale moved an amendment to the bill,
similar to the one he has given notice
he will offer to the bill to admit Dakota
into the Union. This amendment is in
tended to nnllify the act of the Ter
ritorial legislature, endorsing the ac-
ton of Yankton county and Elk Point
township, Union county, i'll rcpudiating
certain bonds for the construction of
the Dakota Southern railroad. The
amendment provides that the new terri
tory of Pembina, if established,
shall not be relieved of any
obligation which may now rest upon
it on account of the reputation OF
the Indebtedness of tie county and
township. In calling up the bill Sena-
tor Saunders spoke briefly in favor of es-
tablishing the new territory. He allu-
ded to the importance of division of
the present territory Of Dakota, demanu-
ed by the rapid growth and prosperous
condition of that country. Senator Hale
then offered his amendment and sup
ported it in several short and pithy
speeches. He recited the fact, which
has already been published IN detail that
this Indebtedness has been contracted in
good faith and was honestly due the
bondholders of Yankton county and
Elk Point township. The case had gone
to the supreme court of the United
States and had been decided in favor of
the bondholders. The territorial legisla-
ture has, however, disregarded this de-
clslon Of the supreme court and endorsed
the action of the local authorities of
Yankton county and Elk township, re.
pudiating their debt. He was now de-
termined that no part of Dakota should
be relieved of its share of responsibility
for this Legislative act. This view of Mr..
Hale was taken by Mr.. Vest of Missouri,
who moved that the consideration of the
bill be postponed until next Monday
week, which would virtually carry the
bill over to the next session. Senator
Vest spoke in his usually earnest and
emphatic way, asserting the acts of the
authorities of Yankton county and Elk
Point township, and of the territorial
legislature, were unprecedented, and he
was sure they did not receive the endorse
ment Of the state of Missouri. He in.
sisted that nothing should be done which
would relieve Dakota or any part of it
from its full share of responsibility in the
matter. Senator Harrison, who strongly
favors the bill, said that it tseemed to him
the senators from Maine and Missouri
were going too far when they say that a
part of Dakota should not be set apart
with full territorial relations simply be-
cause the territorial legislature Of Dakota
had passed certain obnoxious
laws. Senator Butler, who
Is member OF the commit
, tee on territories, while saying that til,
Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1882-07-08

case OF Yankton county Reputation had
no justification whatever, asserted that
still this should not be held up as rea-
son why the people of another part of
Dakota should not be admitted as q sep
arate territory. Senator Harrison, in his
remarks, made some allusion to the man
ner OF other states and counties in dis.
posing OF their Indebtedness, which
would seem to be justification
Of the course pursued by Yankton
county and Elk township, Union
county, d. T.. and he did not see why
the states should be governed by this in
saying whether the proposed new terri
tory should not be established. He said
there may have been no opposition to
the act OF the legislature by the people
Of northern Dakota, but because the
member or members of the legislature
from that part OF Dakota had entered no
protest against it, was no reason why
the new territory should not be created.
And yet there was no proof that pro-
test OF this kind had not been entered.
Senator Vest resented the intimation
that the states had no right to interfere
and compel the entire people OF
the territory to fulfill the obligations i'm
posed upon account of this Indebtedness.
He reported that the state of Missouri
would not endorse the action either of
the county OF Yankton or the legisla-
ture of Dakota, and proceeded in very
| animated manner to relate all the facts
regarding the reputation, the decision
of the supreme court, and the subse-
quent action of the territorial legisla-
ture. He presented these points in q
Very forcible style and insisted upon his
motion for postponement. No vote was
however taken on either his motion or
Mr.. Hale's amendments, and the matter
will probably come up tomorrow as un-
finished business.

While the bill to create the territory
of Pemhina was under consideration in
the senate on the 5th, Mr.. Hale offered
an amendment 80 as to make the new
territory responsible in part tor the OBJ
legations incurred by the territory OF
Dakota iu the issue of Yankton bonds.
The act of the territorial legislature in
overriding the supreme court was vigor-
ously denounced by Mr.. Vest. Mr.. Har
rison. of Indiana, insisted that nothing
in the action of the le. islature could
stand in the way of the proposed new
territory. No action was taken upon the
bill or the amendment and the senate
went into executive session.
