The CITY in its estimates for the coming
wear shows falling off of 100000. The
decrease involves the crippling of the pun;i!c

Not only this, but to raise the money, esll-

The third annual meeting OF the American
Historical association was held in the
lecture hall OF the Columbian university at
Washington. President George Bancroft,
the eminent historian, delivered the ad-
dress OF welcome. At the conclusion OF the
address the following letter WAS read from
Leopold Won Ranke, the venerable his
torian OF Berlin, in reply to a letter from
President Bancroft asking him to consent
to become an honorary member OF the as
sociation:
To the President of the American His
torical Association, Mr.. George Bancroft,
in Washington: In reply to your kind
communication l gratefully accept the
position OF an honorary member in the as
sociation to which have been elected. 1t
gives me great satisfaction to belong to a
society pursuing the same aims beyond the
ocean that we on this side are striving to
achieve. Such unity OF studies binds to-
gether people widely separated, yet allied
by ancient kidship. 1t fills me with es-
pecial Joy to see Mr.. George Bancroft, one
OF the masters in science, extending his
hand to me from afar; a man who, during
his residence in Berlin, bound me to him.
self by ties of reverential friendship. Ac-
cept my hearty sentiments OF respect and
honor. LEOPOLD Won RANKE.

More Dakota Admission Plans.

Washington Special Mr.. Springer intro.
duced a bill providing for the admission OF
Dakota as state. The bill differs from
all the measures hitherto presented on this
subject, and Mr.. Springer believes that it
will be agreed to by the committee on ter
ritory, which will hold a special meeting
for its consideration.
The bill provides for the admission OF
the territory without division. Provision is
made for the election to be held on
the second Tuesday OF November next,
when q convention is to be chosen for the
formation OF a constitution, which consti-
tuition is to be submitted to vote OF the
people, the election to be held at such
time and place as may be fixed by the con-
stitution. At the election in November the
people are also to vote on a location for a
state capital ,and the three places receiving
the greatest number OF votes are to be
again submitted to vote OF the people at
the election fixed for the adoption OF a con-
stitution, and the place receiving the great
est number OF votes at this election to be
designated as the state capital. No county
shall be formed which contains less
than three thousand inha bitants.
Counties now existing which do
not contain that number shall be consoli-
dated. At the election at which the con-
stitution is submitted for adop ton, state
to be chosen.
There is nothing to prevent the election
of two members to the second session OF
the present congress, but, as the constitu-
tion cannot be adopted earlier than Febru-
ary next, it is not likely that members will
be chosen to this congress, and it looks as
il the bill was drawn to prevent Dako-
ia from gaining admission prior to the
time fixed for the assembling OF the
Fiftieth congress. After being adopted
by d popular vote, the constitution must
be submitted to congress, through the
president of the United States,
for the examination and approval OF that
body. Mr.. Springer thinks that should the
bill be passed at this session, allits require
ments could be fulfilled in ample time to
enable congress TO admit the new state
prior to March 4, 1887. The bill is SINH
lar in every respect to Mr.. Springer's Mis-
