weight is to wear short flannel sweater
and ride on brisk trOt. If the horse
trots roughly, and the rider bounces up

Safeguards Thrown Around
Washington's Constitution
by the Convention.

BISMARCK, OAK, Aug. 7.-At last
evenings session the convention did not
consider the report of the committee on
public institutions as was expected.
The question of railroad taxation was
discussed, the section providing that
railroads shall be taxed at not less than
three thousand, nor more than seven
thousand dollars per mile, being the
chief point of debate. The advocates of
the gross cal 4 ngS system made he
roic effort to strike out the entire Sec
ton and to substitute therefor a pro-
vision for the continuance of the gross
earnings tax, but they were de-
feated in committee of the whole,
and the plan of taxing
per mile was adopted. At this after
moons session the only business cOnsid-
cred was the report of the committee on
public institutions, locating the capital
permanently at Bismarck, the state uni
VerSity and the school of mines at
Grand Forks, the agricultural college
at Fargo, the normal schools at Valley
City and Mayville, the deaf and dumb
asylum at Devils Lake, reform school
at Mandan, hospital for insane and in
dI
soldiers home at Lisbon, industrial
school at Glendale, school of forestry
in Ward, McHeDry, BOttineau or PO-
lette county and scientific school at
Wahpeton. There was an effort made
by few in the convention to defeat the
motion to adopt the majority report,
Bartlett, of Griggs, offering as an
amendment that the question be sub
mltted to a
VOTE OF THE PEOPLE
as a separate proposition. This amend
ment was supported in speeches by
Purcell, of Richland, Bell. of Walsh.
Turner, of Bottineau. johnson, of La.
kota, and several, but was defeated and
the article locating the institutions per-
manently was adOp ted by a vote of
forty-four to thirty. johnson, of LakO-
ia. moved as an amendment that the
capital be located at jamestown, i'm the
hope that the jamestown delegates
have the majority, but this was no sur
prise as it was known the motion would
be made in the hope of breaking the
majority and thus defeat the plan
with the hope of ultimately giving the
capital to the Red River Valley. The
jamestown delegates could not be
caught and exposing the insecurity of
the motion they stood by the report of
the committee. Now that this inquisi-
titIon has been disposed of, the business
OF the convention will proceed, and it
is predicted that the convention will
adjourn within week. COngratulatory
kilograms over the success of the plan
for the permanent location of the insti-
tutions are pouring in from all sections
of North Dakota, and everybody Is

CRAWFORD MADE A CORNER
He Did Not Receive the Creeks
Cash Which Was Paid to His

WASHINGTON, Aug. Especial In
dian Agent Gardner, who had been
delegated to examine into the matter of
the Creek-Oklahoma cession Of 1889, has
made his report to the Indian Office. He
finds that the delegates who made the
agreement or negotiation were ap-
pointed by the principal chief and con-
firmed by the Creek national cOun-
Gil. These delegates, Pleasant Pot
ter, d. M. Hodge and ESpar-He-
Cher, made contract with one
Samuel j. Crawford. an attorney at law,
to assist them professionally in making
the agreement and looking after the
orally. The compensation to be paid
Crawford was 10 per cent of the net
proceeds of moneys received from the
agreement. This contract was ap-
proved by the Creek national council,
but was not approved by the commits
sioner of Indian affairs and the Secre-
tary of the interior. The report says
that it will appear that Crawford, in con
yersatiOn with the three delegates, said
to them: There is no use of pres
enting this contract to the Secrei ary of
the interior Villas, for he will not APP
prove it." However, the report says in
accordance with the provisions of sec
ton OF the agreement. ratified by con-
greSS, these three delegates drew on
Tequisition from the United States
treasurer s42, 1913 and paid it to Logan
II. Roots, president of bank at Little
Rock, Ark, the same being in full pay
ment for certain note of S84. 396. The
delegates also drew on requisition
from the treasurer $3.50 said to be
the 10 per cent net proceeds of the
Creek-OklahOma cessiOn of 1889, and
paid it to Samuel j. Crawford. The re-
port continues
Attention is respectfully and particularly
invited to the affidavit of Pleasant Porter,
Exhibit No. 81, wherein he states that he
paid out this srm of S22S, 0s5, the same
money ne received from the United States
treasury. not to Samuel J. Crawford in per-
son, but to other persons whom Samuel j.
Crawford verbally instructed him to pay. as
had been mutually understood and agreed
upon by the said Samuel j. Crawford ana
Porter, the names Of the parties to whom
portion or portions OF this money, SOS, O95
was paid, was not furnished me, as he
tP. Porter declined to furnish them''
Mr.. Gardner says that this contract
not having been approved by the
proper officers of the interior depart
ment, as required by law, and coupled
with the fact that the money was not
paid to s. J. Crawford, but by his YER
bal order or request was paid to others,
appears 20 be such an infraction of the
law as to justify and warrant the de-
partment in turning the matter over to
the department of justice for such ac-
ton as the facts seem to warrant.

CROFT MAY BE NAMED.
A New Candidate for the Land
Office Commissionership

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA new candi-
date for the commissionership of the
general land offics has appeared in
Washington this week. He is Judge
Croft. of Nebraska. and his name has
been mentioned recently in connection
with a possible appointment ON the In
ter-State Commerce commission. Judge
Croft came here at the request
of Senator Paddock and had an
interview with the President before his
departure for Bar Harbor. Since that
time he has had long interview with
Secretary Noble, who is much pleased
with his appearance. Secretary Noble
and the president had long discussion
on Friday last of the claims of Acting
Commissioner Stone and ex-Represent-
alive John Thomas, of Illinois. who are
candidates for the Office of commits
sioner. but they came to no understand
ing. Secretary Noble is very anxious
to fill the vacancy in the land office, and
it is possible Judge Groff's appointment
will be agreed upon as compromise.

TO PREVENT TlNKERING.
WashingtOnians Throw Safe
guards Around the COnstitu-

ton.
OLYMPIA, W. t., Aug. 1.-THE con.
vention this morning passed
the article providing that all
amendments to the constitution
must be adopted by two-thirds of the
Legislature and majority of the people
of the state to become law. An all
day debate took place over the clause
exempting church property from taxa
ton, and the matter was finally left
to the legislature. The commit
tee on education reported that
the entire revenue of the school
fund shall be applied to the
support of the schools. Those funds to
consist of appropriations and donations
by the state or private individuals: of
the proceeds of estates reverting to the
state by eScheat or forfeiture. The
proceeds of all property granted
for no specified purpose; of
funds accumulated in the state
treasury not otherwise appropria-
ted, or for the disbursement of which
no provision has been made; of money
received from the sale of school lands,
and of 5 per cent of the proceeds of the
sale of public lands lying within the
state which shall be sold as provided In
section thirteen of the enabling act, after
the state is admitted. Sectarianism of
any kind, or sectarian appropriations
are absolutely forbidden. All loses to
the school fund by detalcation of any
public official are to constitute a debt
against the state, drawing per cent in
terest, and not to be included i'm the
limit to the state debt.

OUAY,S AMBITION.

1t is given out on good authority that
Senator QUAY has actually made up
his mind to be the next Republican
candidate for president, and that he is
now maturing his plans for controlling
the next national convention of his
party in his own interest. On the first
blush this announcement appears to
have tinge of the ludicrous; and yet,
when one stops to ponder over the mat
ter, it readily assumes serious aspect.
Upon reflection we discover that there
is really no reason why Mr.. Quay
should not become his party's candi-
date in the next presidential contest.
1t is natural that he should have am
bition, and If he is ambitious there is
no reason why he should not obtain for
himself what he can so readily obtain
for others. He is in supreme control Of
the machine, and it is just as easy to
grind out nomination for him.
self as it is to grind out one
for HARRISON. for BLAINE, or
for any other ambitious party leader.
His candidacy is ridiculed because he
possesses none of the elements of states
manship. but is only known to the coun-
try as the organizer of the greatest
Doodle campaign ever known in the
history of the country. 1t should be
remembered, however, that these ap-
parent elements of weakness are in re-
alitNelements of strength in man who
aspires to leadership in his party.
Craftsmanship cuts very sorry figure
in these degenerate times. Capacity to
raise and handle Doodle is regarded as
the most superb accomplishment in
modern American politics; III fact, it is
essentially the fine art of politics, and
in this respect the charge of amateur
ishness cannot be laid at Mr.. QUAY's
door.
Senator QUAY can get the nomination
if he wants it. His friends are not mod
est in their assertions that he does cOYet
it. So that, unless Mr.. QUAY dies or
loses his ambition within the next three
years, the Republican nomination for
1892 is practically settled. 1t is not a
matter of surprise, therefore, that the
HARRISON administration is jogging
along in such listlesS sort of way. To
man of intense piety and deep moral
convictions like Gen. HARRISON, it must
be rasping reflection that the best re-
suits of his administration will be to
feave his party at the absolute mercy of
the boss boodler of American politics.
Still, QUAY's elevation to the presidency
would be the logical result of the HAIR
| RISON campaign.

not been encouraging. The new law

bonds or any other kind of securities
may register them with the state treas
urer and secure exemption from all
taxation upon the payment of one-ffth
of one per cent year. The small sum
of 81 per $1,000 secures immunity and
saves the wear of conscience in evading
the tax men. But it looks like pretty
safe business escaping taxation, when
the state is forced to offer such pre-

THE president has had under recent
consideration the question how to gain
for the party the Louisiana seat in con-
gress made vacant by the death of the
Democrat elected to the coming con-

ness to add to the majority of the party,
as the district is so strongly Democratic
that the Republicans do not always
make nominations. But there is large

always been easy with the Republicans
that in all such districts the Republican

HATTON BUMPED HIMSELF.

That was an unnatural quarrel be-
tween FRANK HATToN and TEDDY
ROOSEVELT, and it was as childish as it
was unseemly. They called each other
names, made faces at one another, wig
gled their thumbs on their noses, and
after all it was simply because they hap
pened to be in pursuit of the same OBJ
ject, but were getting at it from differ
ent directions. The only real difference
between them is that Mr.. ROOSEVELT
is college-bred spokesman while Mr..
HATToN is a spokesman of the back
woods stamp. During his college course
the former read a good deal about the
theoretical beauties of civil service re-
form, and with the characteristic fresh
ness of a new college graduate was de-
sirous of airing his knowledge. Still,
down at heart he is spoils-
man, who believes, as Mr.. HATToN
does, that when the Republican party
wins victory it is entitled to all the
fruits of the victory. The only differ
ence between them is that Mr.. HATToN
wants to go straight at the offices, and

cloak his movements under the guise of
civil service policy, and approach the
offices by stealth. His movements may
be little slower than Mr.. NATIONS,
yet they are none the less sure. By
pursuing either the HATToN or the
ROOSEVELT policy the object attained
is the same, that Of kicking the Demo
Gratis out, and putting none but Repub-
licanS on guard. However unnatural or
illogical the quarrel between these
gentlemen may have been. it has been

Report of the Black Diamond
Seizure Received at the Capital

Report of the Black Diamond
Seizure Received at the Capital.
WASHINGTON, Aug. THE report OF
Capt. Shepard, commanding the revenue
steamer Rush. in regard to the seizure
of the British Sealer Black Diamond,
which was mailed at San Francisco, has
been received at the treasury depart
ment. Acting Secretary Bachelor re-
fused positively to give it to the press,
but admits that 1t confirms substantial
ly the newspaper reports concerning the
seizure. 1t contains no reference what
ever to the escape of the vessel for the
reason that that had not occurred when
it was written. Neither does it give
any explanation with regard to the
smallneSs of the crew placed in charge
of the prize, but the report is said to in
dictate that the vessel was not parOled,
but was subject only to the control of
the prize crew. Acting Secretary
Bachelor said that as the question
seems to have assumed political i'm
portance he preferred to do nothing
whatever in the matter until cOnsulta-
ton with Secretary Window on his re-
turn to the city.
THE OWNER IN HIGH FEATHER.
VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. ALBERT
Frank, the owner of the Black Diamond,
arrived from San Francisco yesterday.
He was not much surprised to find his
schooner riding at anchor in the harbor.
He and all other sealing owners had
given their captains orders to resist
seizure to the utmost. In case of seiZ-
ure and prize crew being put aboard,
the captains were, if possible, to bring
their vessels, prize crew and all. to Vic
tOria. Collector of Customs Hawley has
Lieut.. Hawley's letter of instruction
to the7 marine, John Hawkins,
who was put in charge of the
Black Diamond, and this, with full in
formation, he mas forwarded to the mill
lister of customs at Ottawa. He and
Vice Consul Marvin both say they
know of no action being taken by either
government. Hawkins, the prize crew,
sails for Sitka on the mail steamer An
con on Friday to rejoin the Rush. He
has enjoyed his visit, though he was the
subject of considerable chaff. 1t was
proposed by some to arrest and prose-
cute him for piracy, but this foolish
idea was secuted by cooler heads.
Other schooners of the Victoria feet
are expected to arrive any moment and
they will bring important news.
