THE &. A. R - TROUBLES.
The Difficulty With the Railroad,
Hemaink UnRelIIed.

CHICAGO, July 10 The fight between
the Grand Army of the Republic and the
various railroad companies reached an
acute phase this evening. This was the
last day Of the period named by the
Grand Army men IN which the railroads
might gracefully surrender and grant
the usual rate of one cent per mile to
persons attending the great annual en-.
campment announced to take place this
year at Milwaukee. No surrender was
made by the railroads, and this after
noon committee of the G.. A. r.
Department Commanders, who have been
sgitating the subject, held a meeting
here, and proceeded with the attempt to
carry out the threat that in the event of
the railroads proving obstinate, the en-.
campment should be made, if possible,
merely an assemblage of delegates in.
stead Of huge popular gathering. The
committee voted to send a circular let
ter to all Department Commanders
throughout the country, urging that the
attendance on the encampment be linn
tied, SO far as practicable, in the manner
described. Preparations at Milwaukee
for the entertainment of the great crowds
expected at the encampment, have been
virtually suspended. owing to the dis

ACCORDING to Mr.. Sutherland Hutton
of the Park Commission, the reservoir at
the Seventh-street Park is greatly in
danger of overfowipg its banks. Should
it do go the destruction in the Arroyo de
los Reyes and in the Seventh and Pico
streets district would be immense. He
thinks that the dam ought to be bulk
headed with planks and stones, or in
such manner as the competent engineers
who shall be detailed to inspect it may
suggest. The Council ought to look into
this matter. We want no Johnstown
episodes, even on miror scale, in Los
Angeles. There is precious little use in
locking the stable door after the horse is
gone, and we therefore suggest that
action should be taken at once, at least
to the extent of having an intelligent in
spection ma de of the work.

THE Banta will case, after dragging its
slow length along for now these many
weeks, has at last been decided, and in
favor OF the Pierces. 1t will be remem-
bered that Bsnta made a will devisine
property to his daughter to the amount
of about SAC, 900, making her husband,
Pierce, the trustee, and that the widow
Banta contested the will on the ground
that her husband was of infirm mind
when he made it, an allegation which
she attempted to sustain by showing
that he was accustomed to look upon the
wine when it is red, and could not even
be intimidated by whiskey bottle. The
evidence was voluminous and conflict
ing. 1t was shown that Banta was fond
of his drama peculiarly which he
shared with Generals Grant. Sherman,
Sheridan, Emperor Wilhelm, Bismarck.
and several high and mighty people who
were not thereby disqualified from
managing their own affairs. The jury
doubtless believed that Banta liked to
patronize the vinous products of the
country when the spirit moved him, but
failed to see in that fact any warrant for
nullifying his testamentary intentions.

standing committees. The committees will
be announced tomorrow. There is a
strong feeling that the committees will
favor no special interests, but that all
will be treated fairly. The one legis-
lative body idea still occupies con-
siderable space on the minds of
the delegates, and will be very thor
oughly considered. Ex Governors
Pierce and Ordway seem to have pretty
sure thing to be elected United
States Senators, while General Allen is
leading for Governor. The Democrats
are preparing a full ticket and will
fight their hardest for it, but they have
only nineteen out OF seventy dele
gates. Everything seems to point to
Bismarck for the temporary capitol, at
least. The Convention, Governor Mel
lette thinks, will last forty or fifty days.
Sioux FALLS, OAK, July 10.-At to-
days session OF the Constitutional Con-
vention, the question under considera-
ton was the powers of the Convention
to change the Constitution of 1885. This
matter will come up again tomorrow
and is regarded as specially important as
certain changes might jeopardize the
Presidents proclamation of admission
aud cause it to be deferred. Thus the
discussion as to the scope of the
Conventions work will be very
important. Much concern is felt regard
ing the action of the Judicial Apportion-
ment Committee. Almost every county
has an aspirant for the judgship, and
there will be a strong attempt to make
at least ten or a dozen circuits.
The Congressional and Legislative ap.
portionment committees are likewise be-
sieged to make districts favorable to the
manifold interests of the different
candidates for United States Sem
ator. Senators Moody and Edger-
ton, elected Senators under the
old Constitution, are both here, the
former as visitor and the latter as the
President OF the Convention. r. s.
Pettigrew, of Sioux Falls, will be Edger-
toms chief competitor for the Senatorship.
All these gentlemen shall strive for such
an arrangement of the Legislative dis
tricts as shall further their respective
interests.

HELENA, Mont, July 1O.-Mr. Rick
ards, of Silver Grove, in the Constitu
tional Convention, today, presented 6
memorial from the Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, praying
the Convention to incorporate in the new
Constitution clause relating to tha
strict observance of Sunday. They also
prayed for the incorporation Of clause
prohibiting the manufacture and sale OF
all Intoxicating liquors or stimulants as
beverage.
A resolution was introduced making
ability to read and write the English
language and non-conviction of treason
or felony, essential to the qualification of
voters.
OLYMPIA, w. T., July 10.-In the Con-
stitutional Convention today a petition
was presented favoring prohibition and
Woman's Suffrage. A majority of the
propositions presented during the day
were against corporations, espe-
cially railroads; also forbidding the
granting of subsidies to corporations or
individuals except by two-thirds popu-
lar vote against alien ownership of land
the sale of school or State
land; limiting municipal indebtedness

WINNIPEG, July l0.-In the Burke
trial, today, counsel for the defense as.
sailed the evidence, which, they held
did not connect the prisoner in any man.
ner with the murder of Cronin, or that
Burke knew Cronin or had any malice
against him. The prosecution con-
tended that the evidence made clear
enough case to justify extradition. Judge
Balm held that a sufficient case
had been made out; that, while
most of the evidence is circum-
stantial, it seemed to him that
evidence giving strong presumption of
guilt is all that is necessary to commit a
prisoner for trial or remand him for ex-
tradition. He therefore committed
Burke to jail to await extradition. The
full court, he said, is now sitting, and
the case could be brought before them
Immediately in application for writ of
habeas corpus. Application will be
made to the Department of Justice at OF.
tawa for extraction, but the prisoner
will be given fifteen days' grace in which
to appeal from Judge Bain's dec ision.

TIE caterwaul following the Sullivan
Kilrain fight will doubtless take up more
space in the kilograms than the prelimi-
nares and the battle itself did. There
is something very puerile 10 all this. 1t
nearly always happens that a defeated
man, whether a general or a prize
fighter, has very luminous explanation
of his hard fortune, but the public take
precious little interest in such tSaddle.
The impression is general that Kilrain
was licked because Sullivan was the
harder hitter and the gamer man of the
two, and volumes of "back talk" would
not change the verdict. The Associated
Press ought to shut down on these
worthless.
