TAYlOR,S GREAI LUCK.

Tho Wisconsin Politician to 30 United
States Railroad Commis.ioper.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-1tis announced
on authority second only to the best
that Hon. Fl. A. Taylor, of Hudson,
Wis, will succeed Gen. Joseph E. Johns
ton as United States railroad commits
sioner. The place is very comfortable
one, with fat salary and lean duties.
The Wisconsin congressman, who are
energetic fellows and always pull to-
gether, have been moving the universe
to get this appointment for week past.
1t was hard to get because there were
many candidates and Johnston has
many friends. 1t is great catch for
Taylor, who is country editor. but an
active and experienced politician. He
has been chairman and secretary of the
Republican state committee in Wiscon-
sin, and was occasionally an aspirant for
governor. He is personal friend of
Spooner and is we'll known and has been
useful to all the Wisconsin members.

DAKOTA CONVENTIONS.
A Warm Contest for the Presidency
the Bismarck Meeting-Work of {

A Warm Contest for the Presidency Of
the Bismarck Meeting-Work of the
South Dakota Constitution Framers. :
BISMARCK, N. D., July 1.-The con-
stitutional convention of North Dakota
meets in Bismarck next Thursday.
There are tifty-six Republicans and
nineteen Democrats in the convention
Among the Republicans there are few
Republican Prohibitionists and one.
Knud Knowland of Traill county, classed
as Prohibitionist. Few of the delegates
can be classed as politicians. A large
majority are farmers. There are about
twenty lawyers, the most prominent of
whom are Democrats.
The canvass for president of the con-
yention has not been very active and it
does not look as if it would be very warm
at any time. The candidates named SO
far are F. B. Fancher of Jamestown, H.
+. Miller of Fargo. NJ. N johnson of
Lakota, and R. N. Stevens of Lisbon.
The other officers of the convention can
not be even guessed.
Work of the South Daiota Convention.
Sioux FALLS, s. D., June 30.-The
South Dakota convention will have lit
tie to do. When the people on May IA
ratified the Sioux Falls constitution of
1885 they did not leave much for the
delegates whom they elected at the same
time to accomplish in the line of consti-
tuition making or constitution mending.
Nothing has yet developed to deter
mine who will be chosen PRESIDENT of
the convention. Judge "A. J. Edgerton,
who was president of the convention of
1885, is likely to be tho coming man,
but Col. John L. Jolley of Vermillion,
and c. G. Sherwood Of Clark are in
the field.
It has been said that the convention
will have nothing but mere clerical
work to do. There are some who favor
doing more than has been referred to.
Of course the people nave ratified the
constitution as it is, and that is in favor
Of letting it stand as it is. But under
the terms Of the omnibus bill it is to be
submitted for ratification again On Oct.
I. Since this is so, and since there are
several things which would better be
changed, it is held that these changes
would better be made now rather than
that amendments be made almost 50
soon as admission is secured.
Unless the convention does proceed to
discuss the different provisions of the
constitution its sessions will be tame.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Acting General
Land Commissioner Stone in writing to
an attorney at Arkansas City, Kan, in
regard to the rights Of homestead settlers
in Oklahoma over those who make town
site locations, says that. homestead
claimants will be protected by the land
office, and if preference is given at all
it will be to bona fide settlers. 81 will
state" Mr.. Stone adds, "in a general
way, that when settler in good faith
goes upon the public domain and by
compliance with the laws of congress
acquires an inchoate right to his selec-
tion, such right cannot be lawfully di-
minished by the subsequent action of
other persons in seeking to establish a
town site location thereon. While the
settler continues to occupy his homestead
claim he must be protected in the high
privilege which the law confers upon
him. These encroachments upon the
rights Of settlers by the unauthorized To-
cation of town sites will not be sane
toned, Or in any manner upheld"

DENVER, COL. July "A dispatch
from Durango says that fire started in
the southern part of that city at o'clock
p. nj. and, driven by the strong wind
which prevailed, spread rapidly until at
the time of 4riting the dispatch half
the town was laid waste and the fire
was entirely beyond control. Every
business house and public building in
the city, with the exception of Strater'a
hotel and the postoffice is destroyed.
The telegraph Office was threatened
with destruction and no one could con-
jectnre the extent of the conhagration.
Should the fire reach the residence part
of the town, and this result was feared,
the entire city would be obliterated.
The fire department was powerless to
cope with the flames.
The Fire Extineuished.
A later dispatch says that the fire was
extinguished after the total destruction
of eight business blocks which includes
all the principal business houses, three
churches and portion of the residence
part of the town. The loss is estimated
at 100000, with light insurance. The

DEMOLlSHlNG NAPLES.

| A Large Portion of the Italian City to Be
| Destroyed aud Rebuilt.
LONDON, July 2.-The city of Naples
in Italy has begun housecleaning on g
scale never before paralleled in the his
tory Of municipalities in any part Of the
globe. The plans contemplate the
Demolition of 1900 Houses
and two churches in the most thickly
settled and most squallid parts of the
| city where the narrow streets filled with
perennial filth breed pestilence and
| death. 1t is proposed to erect in their
stead we'll built houses and to lay out
fine brood streets that will let in the air
and the sunshine to the inhabitants.
Naples is the most thickly populated
city in Europe and the quarter to be
thus renovated contains now popula-
tion of 10S, 200 or 600 to the acre. 1t is
proposed to
Reduce This Population
just one-half. All of the people residing
in these slums have received notice to
quit and when the work has been COM
p!eted the new buildings will probably
have an entirely new set of occupants.
A new street a mile and half long and
ninety feet wide, twice the width of any
existing street in Naples, is to be run
through the district now temporarily
depoDulated. The cost of this immense
| improvement will be enormous and is to
be borne largely by the Italian govern.
ment, The work to be done involves
the
Destruction Of 144 Streets
and the widening of 127 others. The
| total or partial destruction of 56 fondaci
or slums and 527 isolated groups Of
houses. The payments which will have
| to be made to the owners of the houses
to be torn down, for their appraised
value will alone amount to e3, ,750, ,000
Add to this the cost of the work of de.
molition and Of the j.. .
! Streets and Squares to BE Laid Out
and it will be seen that this is the most
expensive piece of house cleaning ever
undertaken. Although the public inaug.
uratien OF this great enterprise took
place over week ago when King Hum
bert and his son, the Prince Of Naples
went from Rome to take part in the
ceremonies attending it, the real work
has now only began, when nearly

Sunday, alleged that Archbishop Corri-
gan had been summoned to Rome By
the pope The letter went on to say that
the pope intended to make Archbishop
Corrigan cardinal and that he would
surely be included by the pope among
the next batch of cardinals created. The
arc hbishop, according to this letter, was
to arrive in Rome toward the middle or
latter end of July. The main reason for
making the archbishop cardinal, the
letter said, was because he was in accord
with the pope in the determination Of
the latter to have foreign professors in
the Catholic university at Washington.
