Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON. July 2t-There are indi.
cations that the efforts for division OF De-.
ko,a upon the forty-sixth parallel, and
admission Of the southern portion -
State, will be abandoned, and whatsvsf
future efforts are made In this line OF divi.
sion will look toward division upon The
Missouri river. Indeed, the divisloa ssa.
timent docs not appear H b nsarfy %
strong now ~ 1t was year ago. and Il is
not improbable that this part Of the pro.
gramme may be entirely sbandoned. The
people OF Bismarck, since the capital vas
located at that point, have suddenly lost
their an xiety for division OF the Territory.
They evidently conclude that Il 10 better to
be the capital OF $50, 900 square miles than
Of 5000. There is yet, however, . strong
sentiment throughout the Territory
In favor Or Divtstoa.
The feeling is that Dakota, As Il now stands,
is too large for one State. True, Texas and
and California are ~ large. Texas. indeed,
is sixty per cent. larger, but because those
States are too large il does not follow that
others should be made so. Dakota, - Il
now stands, is larger than ten OF the States.

HANlAN As A HERO.
How the knight of the Oar Rescued
Four Young Men From a Watery

Grave.
New YORK, July, 24.-Edward Hanlan,
the oarsman, who arrived in this city on
Saturday, was the hero Of an exciting epi-
sode on the Harlem river yesterday. About
neon q party of four young men were on
the river in a Whitehall boat. They were
somewhat under the influence of liquor
ad when opposite the Metropolitan Boat
Club house, about midway between the
Third and Fourth avenue bridges, their
antics caused the boat to capsize and they
were preCipitated into the water. Hanlaa,
who was the guest OF the Metropolitan CLUB,
had been swimming from the float outside
the house and had jumped into a gig
in order to dive from it when the
cries of the men il the boat attracted his
attention. Seating himself he grasped
pair Of oars and few Of his long,
Powerful sweeps
brought him alongside the men, who at
the time were nearly exhausted and on the
point of going under. They each 2lutched
at the outriggers Of the cranky craft and
in their excitement endeavorei to Chamber
INFO it. II required all Hsnlan's eXertions
to keep them IRON caI'siz'ng, the boat;
Hanlan, however, warned them that II
they did not keep cool their only chance OF
being saved would be lost, and he told
tho m to hold quietly on to the bulTarks
of The boat and he would tow them TO the
boat-house. They did did so, and he had
pulled them nearly 10 the boat.hOuse when
a number of larger boats put oil from the
ST. ole and the men, who were completely
exhausted, were pulled into them. They
s., n recovered and made their disappear
arce without thanking their rescusr or
giving their names.

IL there is no more rain to day the fun
will commence tomorrow afternoon.
The grounds have been put in ex-
cellent condition and the accommoda-
