Territory Of North Dakota.
Washington, Special Telegram. May g.
Mr.. Baker Of New York, n member of the
house committee on territories, introduced
q bill to establish the territory of North
Dakota. 1t is essentially the same bill in.
PRODUCED at the first session of the last
congress by Delegate Raymond, the only
Baker fixes the southern boundary on the
orty-seventh parallel of north latitude,
while Raymond's bill fixes it on the forty
sixth degree north latitude. The bounda-
ries described in the bin are as follows:
Commencing at q point on the Red Riv-
or OF the North, where the 47th degree OF
north latitude crosses the same; thence
south along tho west boundary line of Min.
nesota to the seventh standard parallel of
north latitude thence along said seventh
standard parallel OF Dakota, extending to
the eastern boundary line OF Montana;
thence east. along said degree to the place
OF beginning. ~
The legislative council is to consist of
twenty members and the house Of repre-
sentatives OF forty. Under the Raymond
bill the council was placed at fifteen and tho
house at thirty. The sections providing for
the general organization OF the new territory
election OF officers, etc, are identical with
those OF the Raymond bill. The committee
on territories will consider this measure
shortly in connection with the Springre
bill for the admission of the entire terri
tory. 1t is practically certain that the
Baker bill will be thrown aside and that
Springer's bill, with some amendments as
to detail, will be favorably reported.

suspected OF close intimate friendship with

a quarrel with his better half in the CORR
