News comes from France that NJ De-
prez, well known electrican, has discoy-
cred means Of transmitting power by

system he sent six-horse power 10 point
twelve miles distant and ten-horse power
to another twenty -one miles distant, over
AN ordinary iron wire. The loss of power
while en- route was in each case fifty per
cent. or, in other words, one half the pow
cr applied at one end was recovered at the
other.

CONVENTION.
Who is There and what
They are Doing.
An Enthusiastic Gathering OF South
DakOta's Lending Citizens.

HURON, June 19-The delegations from
the various counties in South Dakota are
present in full, and present the finest array
OF intelligent and splendid appearing
looking men rs ever composed a conven-
ton in the west. The musical pride of
the territory, the Brookings cornet band,
composed Of sixteen pieces and the Huron
band of fourteen pieces are discoprsing
music on the streets and for the conven-
ton at the mammoth wigwam Huron is
entertaining her guests in royal mann er
and the enthusiasm over the prospects OF
the birth of new state runs high. Gov.
N. G.. Ordway, Ex-Gov. Edmunds, Ex-
Sec'y Hand, Messrs. Moody, Pettigrew,
Whitfield, Mackenzie and King are a few
of the prominent men of the territory
present. CONTRARY TO expections, none of
the northern counties are represented al
though two or three of said counties had
started delegates but they were ordered
back before they had gone far on their
futile journey.
The disposition shown i'll Bismarck and
a few other sections in the north 10 cap

The News desires at this time to place
this fact upon record, that the county OF
Grand Forks has sent no delegate to that
convention, nor has any north of the llth
standard parallel, and any person pretend
ing to represent any section north of that
line in the convention should be igno-
miniously kicked ont as an interloper and

committee, at IL m, yesterday, in the big
