The resolution offered yesterday by Senator
Sherman was agreed to providing for session
of the senate tomorrow, July 4th.
Theressolation was agreed to authorizing the
appointment of a committee of five senators to
examine into the capacity of the steel producing
works in the United States to make steel suita-
bic for guns of high power, and plate suitable
for war ships, and into the character and suf-
fcency of tools in the navy yards and foundries
suitable for the manufacture of engines for such
vessels and guns for such vessels and sea coast
defences, also to inquire as to the best method
of manufacturing the same, whether by the gov
eminent or by contract with private parties.
The senate insisted upon its amendments to
the sundry civil bill and ordered a conference.
The senate resumed the consideration to for
felt unerned lands granted the Atlantic s. Pacific
Railroad company.
Senator Morgan continued his remarks in sup
port of his amendment providing for reference
10 the United States circuit court of the question
of the title to land after forfeiture.
Senator Dolph supported Senator Morgans
amendment.
Senator Blair said that all this effort to forfeit
land grants and restors 300 600 900 acres that we
read of in newspapers, by means of this great
movement to destroy vested rights and humbug
the American people, with the idea that they
were to recover vast portion of the public do
main, would simmer down to getting half
part of what the people expected to recover He
was opposed to all land grant forfeiture bills now
before congress. They radically wrong,
they were against sound public policy, in fact
they were humbugs
On coming to a vote, Morgan's amendment
was agreed to, yeas, 81; nays, II.
Senator Sherman thought this left the bill
mere naked declaration of forfeiture, leaving the
possession of the land to the company, and
everything else open that would be worth almost
nothing. twas quite proper to have courts
prepared to protect everybody's rights, but ac-
actual possession of land by the government
should follow declaration of forfeiture. lie
therefore moved an amendment, which was
agreed to, providing for resumption of title by
the United States and declaring the lands part of
the public domain, but not subject to disposal
under the general laws until after the termina-
ton eff the legal proceedings prescribed by this
act. The bill then passed.
Senator Miller, of California, submitted a reso-
luton which laid over, authorizing the committee
on Indian affairs to investigate the condition of
the Indians of California.
The chair announced as the committee to in
vestigate the steel production, ueder Senator
Hawley's resolution, the following senator's:
Hawley, Miller Of California, Aldrich, Morgan
and Butler.
The senate on its amendments tie the fortif-
cation bill, and ordered a conference.
On motion of Senator Hill the postal telegraph
bill was laid before the senate, in order that it
may stand as unfinished business for 10 morrow.

CONVENTION NOTES.
The Movement of the Democratic
Clans Towards Chicago.
Chairman Manning, of New York, Claiming
New York for Cleveland.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The gathering of the Demo
cratic clans at Chicago goes on but slowly A
number of scattering delegates from distant
points, and one solid delegation, that of Calfor7
mia, here, but yet things in the local polti
cal world are comparatively quiet. The sub
committees on arrangements Of the national
committee have been hard at
work here for the past week. but
far their labors have been in the direction of
arranging and perfectng the details of the CON
vention. Changes in the hall are all but com
pleted and it is expected that the theatre chairs
into position tonight. 1t has been decided to
light the hall with electricity, which will not
only illuminate the building better, but also in
sure much cooler atmosphere. w. T. Barnum,
chairman of the national committee, did not ar
rive to-day as expected, but will be here in the
morning. Among the passengers on the New
York limited express, which came to-day, were
Daniel j. Manning chairman of the New York
state committee, accompanied by Edward Cooper
and dozen other empire state Democrats
among whom are two delegates Mr.. Manning
said that he did not come here with music and
buster to nominate Cleveland, but he came
as Democrat who believed that the best in
terests of the party would be subserved by Mr..
Cleveand's nomination. According to Mr.. Man
ning's calculation Cleveland will have forty eight
or q majority of the New York delegation. An
important caucus OF the New York delegation
will be held on Saturday night, at which Cleye
lands strength will be actually determined. Re
ferring to this proposed meeting, Mr.. Manning
said, we do not propose to hold the caucus unless
all the delegates present. We have no de-
sire to take snap judgment. Mr.. Flower has
the numbers of the delegation who will work TO
have him nominated. We have no objection to
that. Mr.. Flower is good man, but we do not
think he has as fair show of carrying New York
as Mr.. Cleveland has"
The California delegation brought word that
from fifteen to twenty prominent California Dem
oerats would be here Saturday to open elab-
crate headquarters and work in the interest of
Justice Field The California delegates them
selves however, have announced that they win
inaugurate a campaign against Mr.. Field. Their
best efforts will be given t. secure the nomina
ton of Tiden, in spite of his letter, but il that
should prove impossible, they Will work and vote
as a unit for Thurman.
The national subcommittee requests that as
soon as-the various delegates have perfected
their organization they will send list of their
chairman, vice president and committee men to
the national committee at the Palmer
house, and it is requested that such notification
be sent in as early as possible.

See Dakota This Fan.

This is good suggestion from the La Moure
Progress; 1T would be wise policy for the
Northern Pacific company to carry sightseeing
excursionists in north Dakota this fall at the bare
cost of fuel and wear and tear of machinery. etc.
for to see Dakota as it can be seen this fall.
under the stimulus of one of the grandest grain
crops ever harvested, would fairly paralyze with
amazement the tillers Of poverty stricken eastern
soil, where a twenty acre patch of good grain is
the marvel of the whole surrounding region To
see Dakota this fall will advertise her more and
better than newspapers can do, for the average
Dakota paper has not a first-class reputation for
veracity among eastern readers, and the evidence
OF eye witnesses will either rate par with
Dakota newspaper lies or else the eastern
readers will be compelled to revise their esu-
mates -

One Birdseye View of Both,

The scheme of H. II. Young to make birds
eye view of st. Paul and Minneapolis for exhibit
ton at the Worlds Exposition of New Orleans,
and which is being considered favorably by the
chamber of commerce of both cities, is not to
have separate views of the two cities in different
engravngs, but rather both views on the same
plate, with a view of the six miles of suburbs
lying between them and belonging to both, and
views of the country to some extent surrounding
each metropolis.
Mr.. Young says it is hard for eastern and
southern people to believe that two cities lying
but six miles apart and both containing 100000
inhabitants collectively, have sprung up in so
short time in the northwest, and the design of
the view is to give a perfect fac smile of the
commercial interests of the one and of the man
ufacturing interests of the other which have
made this possible, to show their exact geo
graphical location, the means of communication
with each other, etc

Hon Michael Beehtel ,cax 1,,,,o,..,,

1t will be remembered, that some time since
one John Smith of Dawson county, disappeared
and some circumstance indicated that he had
been murdered by Michael Bechtel The latte,
was arrested on suspicion but the evidence was
insufficient to mold him and he was discharged
lie returned to his home and work although
warned OF his danger He soon disappeared and
MS body was recently fshed up in the river, and
the facts are coming to light that he was mur-
dered by gan Of assassas who want the penal
~ OF the law. The Mt. Vernon Gazetfe relates
that after the shooting at his bed through the
window the mob entered the house and seized
their victim and perpetrated some of the most
nendish and inhuman acts ever committed bv
Dand OF sayages: such as cutting off his ears bis
nose and fngures, and torturing him in this cru
ell manner until life was extinct. They then
loaded the body into wagon and during the
small hours Of the morning drove six miles away
10 the Jim river at a point below Rockport
here they fastened 200 lbs. of stone to the body.
and carrying it to the rivers bank let it roll
down INTO the water which they supposed was
ABOUT ~ feet deep at teat point; but Just little
below the surface is bench Of rock which pro-
Jects long way into the water Upon this rock
the body rested until the spoon hook of Chaun-
cy Kelley caught in one of the hands and raised
II out OF the water. The inquest was controlled
by the murderers and was a farce.

1t will be observed that the area planted in
corn (672, 618 acres) is ~ per cent. less than
was planted last year. This is owing wholly to
the circumstance that good seed corn was very
in all parts of the states this spring There
is slight increase in the number of acres plant
ed in potatoes and a larger percentage of in
crease in those devoted to beans. The area
planted in sorghum has fallen off four per cent.
below that of last year. The conditions of crops
generally are considerably better than usual at
this date, and very much ahead Of what they
were at this time last year. The season is fully
three weeks earlier than in 1885, and the weather
during last month has been, on the whole, highly
propituous, although in some limited localities
there has been too much rain and rust is report
ed in the wheat by two or three correspondents.
