which they met their doom.
Now Deal in the Dakota Matter.
Washington dispatch:--It is said that
the democrats from Dakota have quietly
agreed on a compromise on the question OF
admission which will be submitted in a few
days. They propose that a vote shall be
taken next November on the following
propositions:
First, shall the territory be divided ON
the 46th parallel; second, shall it be divid-
ed on the Missouri river; third, shall the
whole territory be admitted as
state, or shall South Dakota be ad-
mitted at this general election It is pro-
posed that delegates be elected all over the
territory to meet in convention and carry
out the will OF the majority Of the people.
Thus North Dakota would be represented
in convention, and ii a majority OF votes
cast should not be for either division, and
should be in favor OF the admission Of the
whole territory, the convention could 90
on and frame constitution to submit to
Congress. Ii the majority should be in
favor OF admission on the 10Th parallel,
delegates, from North Dakota could with
draw, and these representing South Dakota
would be ready to go on and adopt a con-
stitution. 1t is thought that this is the
only measure on admission likely to pass
both houses Of Congress at this session.

The secretary Of the interior has rejected
the selection OF some thirtcc thousand
acres OF land made by the Manit oba within
Dakota Territory. The selection made be-
tween the six and ten-mile limits are re-
jected because OF having previously been
selected as indemnity land by the Northern
Pacific, and the secretary holds that the
priority OF selection gave superiority OF
right. The selections within the six-mile
limit were rejected for the reason that at
the date OF definite location OF route the
lands were in the Inaian country, and that
the Indian title thereto was not ex tinguish-
ed until long after the right Of the company
attached.
