Davitt Annoyed at an Effort to Bring Odi-
um ON the Irish Cause.
LONDON, July 1O.-Michael Davitt ap-
peared before, the Parnell commission
again to-day. He complained that some
body who desired to iniure the Irish in the
eyes of the British public, had placed two
bogus dynamite machines within the pre-
Cincts Of tho court, and out uf this alleged
attempt at outrage, the Evening Post,
of London, had made sensational article
which said this incident indicated the dan
ger which the court incurred, and showed
how easily the desperate enemies OF Eng
land, who recently testified before the COM
mission, could blow up the building. Dav-
lit, in an excited manner, asserted his be-
lief that the affair had been planned by LIE
Caron and Houston.
Justice Hannen said he understood why
Dayitt should have strong feeling in the
matter, but he must take proper course
and make inquiries to prove his allegations.
He, himself. regards the matter as q silly
hoax.

announced by the president are %. OF
which the Democrats received the chair
manship of three. Mr.. johnson is made

iority of the committee is OF the same views.

tion, urging the greatest safeguards for the

South Dakota in Ouandary Over Alleged
Congressional Restrictions.
Sioux FALLS, Dek., July 1O.-Atto-dsy's
session OF the constitutional convention
the question under consideration was the
powers OF the convention to change the
constitution OF 1885. 1t came up on o
motion to refer different articles in said
document to the appropriate committee.
President Edgerton argued that such refer
ence implied q claim OF the conventions
power to change any and every article,
whereas congress had limited the change to
certain specific provisions.
In opposition to this view, delegates
Jolly, Caldwell and Others, maintained
that what was referred to, merely pur-
ported to be q part OF the constitution OF
1885, and q convention could officially
know the provisions of said document only
upon q report OF q committee or by an ex-
animation thereof as body. This matter
WILL COME UP AGAIN
tomorrow and is regarded as specially
important as certain changes might jeop-
ardize the presidents proclamation Of ad
mission and cause it to be deferred.
This discussion as to the scope OF the
convention work will be very important.
Much concern is felt regarding the action
Of the judicial apportionment committee.
Almost every county has an aspiring Judge
and there viii be y strong attempt to make
at least ten or dozen circuits.
The congressional and legislative ap-
pointment committee likewise will be be-
sieged to make districts favorable to the
manifold interests OF the different candi.
dates for United States senator. Senators
Moody and E1gsrton, elected senators un-
der the old constitution, are both here
the former as q visitor and the latter as
president OF the convention. e. 8. Petit
grew OF Sioux Falls will be Edgerton's chief
competitor for the senatorship. All these
gentlemen will strive for such an arrange
ment OF legislative districts as shall fur
ther their respective interests.

OTHER OOMING STATES.
South Dakota's Memorial to the President
Sensible Suggestion of Ministers.

Sioux FALLS, Oak, July 11.-In the con-
stitutional convention il. was proposed to
memorialize the president to suspend min
eral entries upon school lands near large
cities until the state is organized and can
defend it's rights thereto in cases OF fraud.
There was strong opposition on the ground
that the ordinary operation OF the law is
sufficient to prevent such fraud, and that
to ask the president to suspend an entire
class of entries was equivalent to petition
ing him to do the same thing which resulted
in such bitter denunciation OF Cleveland's g
land commissioner Parks. Despite these
considerations, however, the memorial was
adopted by a vote Of 80 to 30.
All opposition to the reference of every
part OF the constitution of 1885 to ap-
propriate committees, was withdrawn, not
withstanding the strong opposition OF the
day previous.
A petition was received from the Metho-
dist Minister'S association of Southeast
ern Dakota, asking the convention to pro-
vide safeguards for an honest election on
the constitution; and also, that a vote on
state officers and the temporary location
OF a state capital be taken at different
times, than that on the constitution.
