DAKOTA.
Constitutional Convention. Ae,


The Constitutional Convention began
its session at Sioux Falls, on the 4th,
Judge Edgerton presiding, who briefly
outlined the work done by himself and
Judge Moody at Washington, asslsted by
Delegate Clifford, Congressman Kanouse
and the other representatives of the con-
vention in the interests of Dakota. He ex-
pressed his continued confidence in the
integrity Of President Cleveland, and be-
lieved that if congress should pass th e
Harrison bill very little opposition might
be expected from Mr.. Cleveland. The
only argument advanced against the ad
mission of Dakota was that she was pre-
eminentlY Republican He spoke in the
highest terms of the courtesy received
from the members of the house committee
on territories, and had reason to
believe that enough fair-minded
Democrats may be found in congress
to adopt the minority report OF the COM
mittee Oh the Harrison bill. He recognized
favorable omen for Dakota in the strong
endorsement by congressman of Glad
stones scheme of home rule for Irel md,
for the cause of Dakota is a parallel case,
and no one can consistently support the
first and oppose the latter. At Grand
Forks, on the 4th, ID. NJ. Holmes was chOs-
en- mayor and at Valley City A: Il. Gray
was elected mayor. The executive COM
mittee of the Soldiers and Sailors associa-
tion have selected grounds at Mitchell for
the June encampment.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS,
Tho Home Rule Measure.

ln0 homo Nul0 MeaSuros
Advices from London on the Sth say, that
it may be stated on very good authority,
that Saturdays IS cabinet council resulted in a
decision on the part of the government not
to make any conciliatory overtures for the
support Of the malcontent Liberals and
Radicals. The government will therefore
begin the parliamentary struggle over the
home rule bill on Monday with hands en-
tirely free. OF course, whatever conces-
siops MIR. Gladstone may have made thus
far in the way Of modifying the clauses Of
the bill, according to the advise Of those
whose criticisms were IN the spirit Of
frieDdliness to the main object of the meas
ure will hold good, but any attack upon
the bill which was made in a wholly an
tagonistic spirit, will be boldly met and
opposed. A portion of the British press
is violently abusive of Gladstone and
Churchill and other Conservatives are in
citing Ulster to armed resistance.
