Dakota,s Admission discussed.

Washington April Gin the senate
this forenoon unfinished business was
taken up, being the bill to provide for
the admission of Dakota into the union
and for the organization OF the territory
OF Lincoln. The substitute reported
from the committee to the original bill
establishes the boundaries OF the pro-
posed state and ~designates the remain
ing portion of the present territory as
tho territory of North Dakota (not
Lincoln) with Bismarck as the capital.
Senator Platt said the bill was one of
four which had been reported by the
committee on territories for the admis.
sion of new states. Suggestions, he
said, had been made against the use of
the names of north Dakota and south
Dakota, but the conditions were such
that the name of Dakota could not be
taken from either portion of the terri
tory without injustice. The proposed
state Of south Dakota had a population
of 100000. and he though. they had q
right to be admitted as q state, to
participate in the next presidential cleo
ton.
Senator Vest-Do you mean that the
people of south Dakota have a legal
ana constitutional right to come into
the union as thst state without action on
the part OF congress
Senator Platt did not claim this, but
claimed they haye the right to form a
constitution and that congress has not
the right to deny their admission. So
strongly convinced was he that this ter
titory ought to be divided that be would
be IN favor OF it, even if the people OF
the territory were against it. The present
territory was too large for one state. AS
to the suggestion made at the last session
that the cutting up OF the territories in
TO numerous states would convert the
senate into q mob, he replied that it was
better that the senate should be SO en-
iarged as to represent the popular will
and to feel the popular pulse. than that
a state should be admitted SO large az 10

in the house of representatives.
Senator Butler obtained tbs floor and
the bill went over till Tomorrow.
