ing for Frank james pardon, and that
they were in st. Louis for the express
purpose of meeting the Governor

New YORK, May 29.-Some weeks
ago the Western Union Telegraph
Company promulgated a new and
somewhat increased schedule Of rates
on reports transmitted to New York
for the New York Associated Press.
The New York Associated Press was
not satisfied with these rates and
transferred some of its reports to q
competing telegraph company, where
upon the Western Union Telegraph
Company notified the New York AS,
sociated Press that it must pay full
commercial rates. After some con
ference between the parties the New
York Associated Press agreed to pay
the schedule rates first given, and
their reports will be transmitted at
those instead of full commercial rates
hereafter.

KNOXVILLE, May N.-The county
Democratic convention to-day adopted
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we favor the early
settlement of the indebtedness of the
State upon a basis just and equitable
to the bondholder and taxpayer; that
we regard the bill passed at the last
special session of the General Assem-
bly, for the settlement Of the debt as
an effort on the part of the Republi-
can party in the State 10 continue
itself in power by Democratic disrup-
ton, and that we will not lend our aid
TO this purpose, thus to perpetuate by
discord the rule of the minority over
the majority in our State affairs !;
that the Democracy of Knox coun-
ty regard as first in impor-
tance harmony within the ranks
Of the party throughout the State. We
recognize the right of individual opin-
ion on all matters affecting the general
welfare and proper concession to such
opinions; that in effecting a settlement
Of the States debt, we deem it of the
utmost Importance that it be made
with primary view of interesting our
own people in becoming creditors Of
the State, and to this end favor the
issuance of bonds of small denomina-
tions, say not less than $50 nor more
than 800; that we are opposed to the
imposition Of any fees, to the Comp
troller or other State officer for the
issuance of any bonds; that our dele
gates shall go uninstructed to the
State Convention, save that they shall
consider the unity and harmony of the
Democratic party as the controlling
guide in their actions.

of Dakota, is in the city on his way to
Washington. A representative Of the
Pioneer.P Press mot him and inquired
what the outlook was for the admission
of southern Dakota this year. He re-
piled that it was excellent, and that they
had made arrangements to clear up the
old bond matter that had been brought
against Yankton county. The people
had resolved that these bonds should be
bs paid, and he had memorial asking
congress to vote for ~ per cent bonds
to cover the entire amount of question
able indebtedness they had threatened
before to repudiate. His object in going
to Warrington was to get authority from
congress for the county to issue these
bonds and thus relieve themselves of the
unpleasant position they had been in.
The governor estimates that there are
now at least 100000 inhabitants in Da.
kota, Of which 175.OO0 or 100000 are in
southern Dakota. He has no doubt that
this portion would be admitted as state
provided other pressing business dom
crowd out it, consideration by congress
The governor says the longer he remains
in Dakota the more he is impressed will
the future greatness Of the country.
