Sioux FALLS, Oak, July 2O.-The CON
vention met and adjourned without tran
sacting any business whatever About
two-thirds Of the reports Of the standing
committees have been submitted, the
greater part of which have been made to
special order for next Tuesday.
The judiciary committee will report
Tuesday. While there is some disSatsfac-
| ton with the work of the committee in ar
ranging for judicial districts and while the
minority report will probably be submitted,
| there is no doubt that the report of the
| majority viii be adopted when it comes be-
| fore the convention. The minority were
in favor of the ''shoe-string' form Of dis
trict, that is, one in width and extending
across the entire state, making the counties
in the Jim River valley centers of the dis
trcts. The majority favor the more COM
pact form.
An effort is being made to so amend the
report of the legislative committee, as prac-
tlcally agreed upon last week, as to reduce
the number of state senator's from forty
four to forty, and the number of represen-
tativeS proportionately.
Reports from the joint committees are
not very encouraging to delegates who are
anxious to finish the work of the conven-
ton and adjourn, especially those who have
q personal interest in the primaries soon
to be called.

THE PORTE AGREES.
An Entente is Reached With
The Triple Alliance.
TURKISH TROOPS TO COOPERATE
With Austria, seryia and Bulgaria in Certain
Eyelts-Germany and Switzerland Minis
ter COnstans' New Police.

BERLIN, July 20.-[Cepyright cable j
| The long pending negotiations with the
Porto aiming at the adhesion of Turkey to
the triple alliance, have finally resulted in
an entente under which the dreibund
guarantees to maintain the integrity of
Turkish territory in accordance with the
treaty of Berlin.
| The question concerning Crete is re-
served, Prince Bismarck promising to
influence Greece not to interfere, provided
further autonomy is conceded the Creteans
1t is stipulated that Turkish troops shall
cooperate with Austria, Servia and Bull
garia in the event of war with Austria.
The Sultan received Count RadoWitz,
the German ambassador on Wednesday,
and arranged for the reception of Emperor
! William, whose visit to Constantinople de-
pended upon the Portes conclusion of an
entente. Negotiations were accelerated by
the gravity of the situation in SerVia
| The cabinet council held in Vienna Thurs
! day debated whether the time had come
for military intervention by Austria War
| Minister Bauer reported the arming of the
| Servlan reserves en- maSSe. Russian
officers, he said, were engaged in inspect
ing the fOrtresseS, barracks and depots in
| SerVia. The minister advocated i'm
mediate action. Everything was ready
to march two army corps into
Servia. The council declined to wait
until Count Kalnoky influenced the re
appearance of King Milan in Belgrade.
The partisans of King Milan are eager for
civil war to crush the Russians. If it
occurs, King Milan viii invoke Austrian
assistance and thus give Kalnoky ground
to interfere.
The interview at the foreign office be-
tween Count Herbert Bismarck and NJ.
Roth, Swiss minister, was amicable. Count
Herbert intimated that the German reply
to the Swiss note though denouncing eX-
isting treaty settlements, would invite early
negotians Tor a new treaty The tenor of
the reply would be SO friendly that Count
Herbert was confident that the Swiss gov
eminent would consider the hostile phase
of dispute closed.
The Swiss secretary of justice and police
went to Zurich Thursday and submitted a
number of German Socialists TO interroga-
ton and obtained pledges that while re-
siding in Switzerland they would renounce
all propaganda compromising the country.
The same pledge will be demanded of every
refugee sheltered in Switzerland.
The Socialists have taken heart over Il e
Haberstadt election for member OF the
reischstag. The feature of the contest was
the large Socialist gain. Their experience
at Haberstadt will lead to the cessation of
the quarrels of the Cool groups.
The strike of the bakers in Berlin contin-
ues. The government has placed at the
service of the masters SELLERS who are
able to bake bread in order TO prevent
stoppage involving famine.

The Freedom Of Edinburgh.

EDINBURGH, July 2O.-The freedom OF the
city was conferred upon Parnell to-day.
The presentation took place in the Corn
exchange, which was packed to the doors,
while hundreds were unable to gain ad-
mittance The Earl of Aberdeen was in
the chair. Parnell was given en- enthusi-
astic reception, the immense audience
rising and cheering for several minutes.
Deputations from all the Liberal societies
in Scotland presented addresses. Gladstone,
in a letter TO the Earl OF Aberdeen,
wrote: 1.-The time has not vet arrived for
detailing the memorable experience of Par
nell during the last two years. / believe
that experience to be unparalleled in the
history of British statesmen in parliament
for the past two centuries. / consider the
Parnellites to be in the best sense conserv-
atives. They have been q restorative
force of great value to the peace of ireland
and the honor of England, while the tyr
amy of the government has deepened the
aversion of Ireland"

A WHIRL OF EXCITEMENT.
Lebanon, 0hio,'is Greatly Exercised Over the
Default Of Auditor Graham.

CHICAGO, July 20.-The Times, Lebanon,
Ohio, special says: "This county has been
in a whirl of excitement since Saturday
last when Al Graham, its auditor, disap-
peared. He has been one of the most
popular men in this section of the state,
and while gay and prodigal few, if any,
supposed anything wrong. About the
middle of last week it became known that
the auditor had overdrawn his account
$1,000 1t occasioned little surprise and no
alarm, as it was supposed to be merely a
technical affair. Graham asked for an in
vestigation. He hired band and serenaded
his friends, and, borrowing 500
from his brother, disappeared The
investigation has progressed far enough
to show that Grahams pecula
tions may reach $50, 900, not counting the
possibilities of any number of county
bonds which he may have disposed of in
the east. The Investigation progressing.
1t became apparent that the treasurer was
awfully negligent in his duties on paying
such sums without investigation or was iii
COLLISION with Graham. The commission
last night decided t. at it was the latter
and just after midnight the treasurer was
arrested charged with the embezzlement
Of $4,000. He was released on S25 900

are guilty and has cOgniZ2nce of what was

POLYGAMY IS DEAD.

Judge A. B. Carleton of Terre Hsute
was in the city yesterday stopping at the
Bates house. Hewas for several years a
member of the Utah commission, having
been appointed by President Arthur, but has
now retired from the commission and has re-
sumed the practice Of law at Terre Haute.
To Sentinel reporter he said yesterday
that the condition of Utah was far better
than ever before ''Polygamy there" said
he. ''will soon be thing of the past. The
middle-aged and younger Mormons were
opposed to it, and as soon as the older ones
have passed away the baneful custom will
pass out of practice. Gentiles who con-
slider going to Utah need not now take into
consideration the question Of polygamy,
for it is rapidly disappearing"
Regarding the class of people who live
in Utah, Judge Carleton said: 1.-The Gentiles
as rule are intelligent citizens and good
people, but there is unfortunately vicious
class which has obtained control of local
politics over the territory. The Mormons
are as rule good citizens-intelligent,
industrious, temporal and moral. Indian

Fair Outlook for Crops.

ST. PAUL, July 2O.-Much of the moro recent
crop news is of a favorable nature and the grain
men of the twin cities are much reioiced. From
isolated towns and villages over in Dakota have
been sent reports OF the total or partial failuTs
Of the wheat crop. but the reports from
the whole northwest do not warrant such
broad statements as to the condition of crops.
Grain men ust returned from trips over the ter
ritory say there VIII be probably twO-thirds or
three-fourthS of the average crop in Dakota.
while it is very generally acknowledged that the
condition of affairs in Minnesota is much more
favorable This state has had considerable rain at
IN fine condition, although in q few sections the
crop will fall a little short Of the average.
Within the past few days good rains have fallen
in many parts of the northwest, and in some in
stances, at least, this rain has not been too late
to be of benefit. Western Wisconsin and
Northern Iowa also send in favorable returns.

An Aged Couple Commit Suicide.

ROCKFORD, Ills, July 2o.-For some time Mr..
and Mrs. George J. Sussmelch, an aged couple
each over seyenty-five years of age, have been
in poor health. Late Friday night they got on q
street car and went to the end of the line end
walked to the river, tied their arms together
and jumped in. Their bodies were recovered
today four miles below this city. The only
cause known for their suicide is old age and poor
health.
the TranscOntinental Railway Association.
CHICAGO, July ga meeting which will prob
ably determine the fate of the TransContinental
association, began in this city to-day, but owing
to the absence of several of the representatives
of important lines, was adjourned until Monday
next.
The association has Just reached the critical
period OF it's existence, both the Southern and
Northern Pacific roads having given notice or
withdrawal Should they persist in their inten-
tons, it would be folly to attempt to continue
the association Efforts will be made to per
suade them to reconsider their action, and in
case of the Northern Pacific there is Eope OF
success.
Traffic Manager Hannaford said to-day that he
thought the matter would be amicably adjusted
so far as his road is concerned but the grievance
OF the Southern Pacific is the completion Of the
Canadian Pacific. 1t claims that the unreasOn-
able differentials allowed that road, coupled
with its freedom from legal restrictions have en-
abled il to absorb the bulk Of the Pacific coast
traffic and the American lines are pOwerlesS to
meet their competitors while remaining mem
beers of the association. Strangely enough.
representatives Of the Canadian Pacific are in
attendance asking still further diferentials in
San Francisco traffic, so the prospect for an ad-
justment of existing difficulties is not bright.

TIMBER CULTURE.
Secretary Noble Makes an Important Ruling
Concerning 1t.


WASHINGTON, July 20.-Secretary Noble
in a letter to the commissioner of the
general land Office has modified in a very
important particular the application of the
rules as to certain timber culture cases.
The timber calture act of June 1873 pro-
vides that any person who shall plant pro
tect and keep in a healthy condition for
eight years ten acres of timber in any
quarter section of any public lands in the
United States shall be entitled to a patent
at the expiration of said eight years upon
making proof, etc.
Section provides that no final certiii-
cate shall be given or patent issued
until the expiration of the eight
wears from the date of entry
C liar of instructions to registers
and receivers, dated February IS, 1889,
held that half of the trees must actual V
have been growing live Yeas and the re-
naming half four years to conform to the
terms of the act. This Interpretation was
sustained in a subsequent decision, which
held that the preparation of the land and
the planting Of the trees were acts of Gull
tiVation, and that the time actually SO
employed should be computed as a part
Of the eight years required in timber
culture cases, and as the act provided
for three years cultivation of the land be-
fore the trees could be planted, tee effect of
the ruling was to compute the period Of
cultivation from the date of entry.
June 81, 1887, Commissioner Sparks in a
circular to registers and receivers directed:
'In computing the period of cultivation.
the time runs from the date when the total
number of trees, seeds or cuttings, re
quired by the act were planted" and the
final proofs Of entry by men not having
complied with this rule were rejected.
Secretary Noble, in his letter to-day to
the commissioner, sustains the ruling made
by Commissioner Sparks, but says: "In-
asmuch as the department from the time
of the passage of the bill up to June II,
'S7, enormously construed the true spirit
and intent of the act, and in pursuance
thereof, numerous entries have been made
under the law as promulgated, amounting
to some twenty-five hundred or more, such
entries should be protected under the con
struction thus given of the act, giving such
construction all the force and effect of law.
Were it not so, great wrong and incon-
venience would result.
The secretary therefore direct that the
rule in the case of Henry Hooper, the one
in point, be SO modified as to hold all en-
tries made under the act as construed from
February l, 20 to June q, 'S7 should pass
to patent so, and that all entries made
after the announcement of that doctrine
should be governed by the principles
therein enunciated.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. ]
NEW YORK, July 20.-Congratulations
poured all day upon Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Hooker Ramersley, for it was reported far
and wide that a son and heir was born to
them who would inherit the Hamersley
millions upon the death Of the Duchess of
Marlborough, widow of the late Lewis
Hamersley, and now living in England,
wife of the Duke of Marlborough. The
duchess enjoys the income of the large
estate, but by the provisions of the will it
was to go to the heirs of ]. Hooker Hamers-
ley, and in the event of his dying without
children to several charitable institutions.
A reporter last evening called upon Mr..
Hamersley at his summer house Seawanaka
villa, near Collegeport, L. l. ''Well, really
he said, 'I'm very thankful to all my
friends for the interest they take in me, as
they have been telegraphing to me all day,
but l am sorry to be forced to say that the
report is, to say the least, somewhat
premature"
