DAKOTA

a Warm t"ntr,;: Tor the Presidency of
the Bismarck Meeting Work of the
South Dakota Constitution Trainers.
BISMARCK, y. d.. July 1.-The con-
stitutional convention of North Dakota
meets in Bismarck next Thursday.
There are ,%ifty-siN Republicans and
nineteen Democrats in the convention.
Among the Republicans there are a few
Republican Prohibitionists and one.
knud knowland of Trail county, classed
as a Prohibitionist. Few of the delegates
can be clas=ed as politicians. a large
majority are farmers. There are about
twenty lawyers, the most prominent of
whom are Democrats.
The canvass Tor president of the con-
vention has no been very active and it
docs not look as if it would be very warm
at any time. The candidates named so
far are +. B. Fancler of Jamestown, IL.
f.. Miller of Fargo, NJ. n. johnson OF
Lakota. and 4. n. Stevens of Lisbon.
The other officers of the convention can
not he even guessed.
StorX FALLS, S. d., June 30.-The
South Dakota convention will have lit
Tie To do. When the people ON May II
ihtiiiSh liz 'iOuh III SO1lstltullOu vi
1855 they did not leave much for the
delegates whom they elected Il, the same
time to accomplish in the liue of consti-
tuition making or constitution mending.
Nothing has yet developed to deter
mine who will be chosen resident of
the convention. Judge A.. j. Edgerton,
who was president of the convention of
1855. is likely to be the coming man,
but Col. John L.. Jolley of Nermillion,
and {. G.. Sherwood of Clark are in
the field.
II 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 lie
submitted for ratification again on Oct.
L. 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 so
soon rs admission is secured.
Unless the convention does proceed to
discuss the different provisions of the
constitution its sessions will bc tame.

Far.
NEW ORLEANS, July 2.-The friends
of John l.. Sullivan are making prepara-
lions to receive him at Spanish Fort,
where he will spend Friday and Satur-
day. The twenty-four-foot ring in which
the fight will take place will lie SUR
rounded by another ring six feet dis
tant. Within this will be seated the
representatives of the press, the seconds,
bo%ttleholders, etc, and q Gordon of po-
lice. Outside of this will be another
ring at a distance of forty.tive feet,
within which the holders of all tickets
will be seated. Police will also guard
this ring both within and without TO
prevent interference with the fighters or
their seconds. y passage way will be
formed to allow the principals TO enter,
jumping over the ropes oil the outer
rings. Professor LENS L. Butler will
construct the inner ring. The ropes
used in the S~ullivan-Ryan fight will he
used in the coming battle. The inner
ring will be guarded by Capt. Jameson,
of Meridan. Miss, commanding twenty
resolute Mississippians. There will also
be Il reinforcement o forty picked men
from this city who will cooperate with
Jamieson's men in preserving order.
Thousands Will Attend.

ceived that parties from lIaZelhurst,

press reporters. telegraph operators. the
hackers of the men and other interested
parties will leave here between 3 and j
O'Clock a. m. for the ringside. In all
likelihood, there will he u car attached
TO the train on which kilrain will ride.
Arrangements will probably be made TO
have Sullivan go over the evening be-
fore, it being deemed best that the two
men should not go on the same train.
When the first train reaches the Ground
all arrangements will he made to have
the fight begin Immediately after the
eXcursionists arrive. Thrtrain CARRYING
the spectators will probably leave about
a. IN. No police interference is ap-
pretended, but should ii be attempted
there are several available spots in differ
ent parishes along the railroad, where
the fight can take place. so that every.
body mind is easy on that score.
