Springer's proposed amendment to
his omnibus bill by which it is designed
to conoede to Dakota the right of di-
vision is somewhat ambiguous, but is
susceptible OF construction more favor
able to d:-:s:oa than appears at first
glance. That portion of Che proposed
amendment bearing directly upon di-
vision reads:
If o majority of the votes cast in that
part of the territory south OF the seventh
standard parallel, produced due west to
the western boundary OF the territory
shall be ''foF DIVISION" the delegates
elected shall assemble at Sioux Falls.
II majority OF votes cast north of the
seventh parallel shall be for division
then the delegates SO elected Who may
reside north OF snid parallel shall
assemble in convention at Bismarck.
This may mean that the half OF the
territory rejecting division iii eisher)
shall remain as territory or that 1t
shall be attached to the other half as a
state. Thelanguage is not clear enough
to place il above suspicion,
and more especially will the
suspicion ;exist because Springer is the
inventor OF the phrase.

Gen. Harrison Allen, of Dakota, who
still fingers hero, flirting wish the COVER
norship of o possibly new sister state, is
not without hope that all things will
come to those who wait. But Gen. Allen
however, believes he will not have to
wait go long if he goes after 1t, and that
is what he is doing with great dexterlty.
He will have the endorsement OF the
solid Pennsylvania delegation which is
headed by Mathew Stanley Quay, who
promised to talk the matter over with
Gen. Harrison next week. 1t was learned
here to day that formidable opposition
will be made in Dakota against his sp-
pointmeut and that remonstrance was
being prepared for the purpose of pre-
senting to the president elect. The
general does not appear TO be disturbed
on this subject, bat maintains his usual
expansive smile.
