artist to his old friend, w. Il. Steele, of
Washington, d. O., who immediately
applied to the custodian, Edward CLARK,
architect of the capitol, received the
painting and immediately proceeded TO
restore it. A contract was made with
Prof. H. Widenbaoh, an expert artist
and picture cleaner, to put 1t in perfect
order. Under his skiilful hands the
portrait has been thoroughly cleaned,
the frame regilded and mounted with
rich crimson velvet, the canvas newly

portrait ever painted of Gen. Grant.
Painted on the battlefield during his

general attention of citizens, especially

The reports of the governors of all
the territories, democratic and republi-
can, unite IN condemning the land policy
of Commissioner Sparks, with the one
exception of the report of Governor
Pierce, OF Dakota. The people of this
territory have suffered more from the
Sparks management of public land
affairs than the people of all other terri
tories combined. The silence of Gov
ernor Pierce is construed at the depart
ment as quasi endorsement of the
Sparks policy.

In the republican convention for the
Black Hills district the following resolu-
tion was adopted:
ResoI0ed, That this convention is
unqnalifidediy in favor of the division of
the territory on an east and west line,
said division to be on the boundary line
of counties nearest the 46th parallel of
north latitude, and we hereby pledge
Che candidates of this convention to the
| support OF such division, and the ad-
mission OF both parts OF the present
territory as states OF the American
'lnion.
This declaration should quiet the
claim of the anti-divIsionists that the
Hills county has no special desire in
behalf OF division. In the absence OF
recent testimony there has been nc
opportunity to refute this charge
against the Hills, but it's legislative con
vention has furnished an expression OF
sentiment sufficiently positive to over
come the claims of the anti-divisioI
| element.

WANT TINE TO CONSIDER
SQUIRE AND FLYNN WILL THINK
ABOUT 1T
Awhile Before They Make Up Their
Minds as to Their Guilt or
Innocence.

New York, August 12.-Metsrs.
Squire and Flynn appeared this morn
ing to enter pleas TO the indictments
found against them on Monday last
by the grand jury. This formality
was a very mild affair when consid-
cred in connection with the wild ex'
element which attended their appear
ance before the same bar two days
ago. Judge CowiDg presided and was
on hsnd early prepared to hear from
the lips of the accused or through
their legal representative the simple
word TO indicate whether or not they
would acknowledge the many allega-
tions contained in the lengthy docu-
ment presented against them by the
grand jury. Politicians and other
friends OF the distinguished priEoners
were conspicuous by their absence.
When the Clerk OF the Court called
out "Rollin M. Squire and Maurice b.
Flynn, on bail, TO the bar" there was
no response, and the proceedings were
deferred for few minutes, at the end
OF which the defendants walked in
with their council. They at once
stepped to the bar and the Clerk said {:
"Rollin M. Squire and Maurice B.
Flynn you are indicted for a misde.
meanor; are you guilty or not
guiltyW
"We DESIRE" raid Mr.. Newcombe,
their counsel, "that the pleas be en-
tered separately. In behalf OF Mr..
Flynn, we plead not guilty, but re.
serve the right to withdraw the plea
and interpose any other which may be
decided upon later"
A similar statement was made on be-
half OF Mr.. Squire.

the form OF your plea is perfectly
proper, providing that within reason
able time you avail yourself OF the
right to enter another p ca. | think
you could enter a special plea within
q week.
"The indictment is long story"
said Mr.. NeWcombe, of the defense,
"and / must examine it carefully, but
q week will probably suffice"
Assistant Distr ct Attorney Nicoll
said he wanted 10 notify the defend
ants and rher counsel that he would
move for the trial on the first Monday
of September in one OF the parts OF the
General Sessions Court
Mr.. Newcombe suggested that the
case be called then foI the purpose Of
fixing a day for the trial, but Mr.. MIC
coll said that the trial would 90 on

not sufficient grounds for postpone

for trial on September 9th.
