Are Ready to Quit.
Every County in Montana to
Be Represented in the
Senate.

BISMARCK, Dak., August Sat last
evenings session of the constitutional
convention the salary for the members
of the legislature was the question
under discussion. The economists
favored paying 50 per day, but they
were defeated and it was decided that
the pay should be S. per day. 1t was
also agreed that the length of the legis-
lative sessions shall be sixty days, and
that the first session should be 1870 days.
The proposition allowing members $50
each in lieu of postage stamps and
newspapers, was under discussion,
when the convention adjourned
until this afternoon. At this
afternoons session the preamble
and bill of rights reported by the COM
mittee was discussed and adopted, with
the exception of the preamble. when
was the subject of much interesting de-
bate. Bartlett, of Griggs, moved to
strike out that part referring to God as
unnecessary. He said it was not in the
constitution of the United States. and
when considered in comparison with the
conduct of the scheming conventions
and legislatures is an inconsistency.
Stevens, of Ransom, and several other
members opposed Bartlett's amend
ment, and the preamble of the Williams
constitution was substituted for the
one proposed by the committee. In
the preamble adopted is as follows:"
1--WE, the people of North Dakota, CRATE
full to Almighty God for religious and
civil liberty. do establish and ordain
this constitution" The report OF the
judiciary committee was given another
whirl in committee of the whole, and
the jurisdiction of justices of the peace
was increased from 500 to $500. The
proposed article of Parsons, of Morton.
prohibiting railroad companies and
other corporations from keeping black
lists of employees for the purpose. of
preventing them from securing employ
ment, was adopted. 1t is rumored that
at to-night's session the corporations
will come in for discussion, and that
there will be lively evening session.

NOT SUBJECT TO DUTY.
Canadian-BuiIt Cars May Be Used
in Internationa Traffic.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. Secretary
Window to-day sent the following letter
of instruction to the collector of customs
at Detroit respecting the levying of
duties on Canadian railway cars:
Sir: The department has fully considered
the questions submitted by you of the du-
table or non-dutiable character of foreign
built railway cars coming into the United
States and Canada. laden, or for the purpose
of being laden with mails, passengers, bag
gage, express matter or freight. The records
of this department show that railway cars
engaged in the so-called transit trade, partly
over the territory of the United States. and
partly over the territory OF Canada have
never been regarded as importations sub
iect to duty, but simply rs vehicles OF trans
portation for the conducting of an established
and legalized traffic. In letters from this de-
partment to the president of the New York
Central Railway company, Feb. 2. 1883, to
the collector at Port Huron, April q, 1870,
and to the collector at Burlington,
Dec. 8, 1879, and Jan: 9, 1882, it
was held that such practice was not OBJ.
noXiOus to the revenue laws OF the United
States and did not subject forelgn-bulit cars
running in the transit trade between Canada
and the United States to duty, since section
g. lO2, revised statutes, authorizes foreign rail
way ears laden with importat1ons to enter
the United States and proceed to destination;
and section 3,0G6, revised statutes, author
lZed the cars OF DOM countries 10 engage III
international traffic, and the merchandise so
carried to be treated as IF the transportation
had taken place entirely within the
limits of the United States" The princi-
pie SO adopted and announced has remained
in force for more than twenty years, and
does not seem to have impeached or ques-
toned, in or by any statute or other congress
sional action, or any judicial decision or
treaty, or any departmental regulation or re-
striction i'll all that time; it being con-
sdered that the action taken by the
department Jan. 3, 1889, and which action
was recalled and rescinded before the same
had taken effect, did not amount to dis
turbance or impeachment of the otherwise
practice In view of the long practice upon
The subject the department does not deem it
comfortable TO the public interest to disturb
the decision deliberately reached and re-
peatedly affirmed, and must hold that the
question is no longer open to administrative
construction. 1t only remains to advise you
that while these rulings are adhered to, in
Difference to the reasonable requirements of
commerce not to permit such practice to de-
generate into a license for the free importa-
ton of foreign-built railway cars into the
domestic traffic of the United States un1er

the preceding paragraphs. Respectfully
