SELL THE TIDE LANDS.
A Test Vote in the Olympia Con-
vention on This Question.

OLYMPIA, Wash, July 15.-There
was smaller attendance than usual at
the constitutional convention to-day,
though it was expected the Judiciary
committee would report. The commit
tee, it is understood, has practically
adopted the California system. There
will be three or five on the supreme
bench, and eighteen district judges.
The principal difficulty is in arranging
districts. Salaries will be $1,000 on the
supreme bench, and $4,000 for other
without much opposition or chang
not agree on minor details. so
no report was made to-day. A letter
was read from Francis Minor, of st.
Louis, in favor of woman suffrage.
Three propositions were introduced.
one by Schooby to divide the school
lands according to their value; by Joy,
that special laws be submitted to popu-
lar vote; by Kinnear, that no armed
body of men can be brought into the
state. This is aimed almost specifically
at the detective agencies. A lengthy de-
bate over the resolution offered on Sat-
urday by Moore. asking for information
on the status of the tide land question.
The resolution was taken from the
table. Great interest was manifested
in the vote on the resolution because,
though it was nominally opposed on
the score of too much work and
unnecessary, it was understood the vote
would indicate the position of the con-
vention on the tide land question,
whether it shall be sold or restored by
the state. The resolution was finally
defeated by vote of 81 yeas to 81 nays.
This is considered the first victory in
favor of selling tide lands. The report
of the judicial committee was adopted
favoring their submission to popular
vote at the same time of separate
amendments to the constitution. The
committee on legislation has decided
against minority representation and in
favor of the house being twice the size

HELENA, Mont, July 15.-After re-
cess from Friday afternoon until to-day
at D. M, the constitutional convention
members showed up again and prepared
for business. Reports from the COM
mittees mostly occupied their attention.
The matter of universal suffrage was
sprung upon the convention by the in
PRODUCTION by Joy by presentation of
petition signed by 14S citizens from
eight or ten small towns In various parts
of the territory. asking that cOnSidera-
tion be taken of the question. 1t was
referred to the suffrage committee,
where it may slumber. There were
no prominent names attached to it.
During the absence OF the members at
Great Falls, at the reception, small
printed circulars, headed "Universal
Suffrage" reasons why women should
vote, were posted on every members
desk, sticking so closely that they could
not be scratched Off, and in every spot
about the convention hall where COLI
spicuous space could be found. The
proposition relating to compulsory edu-
cation for children between the ages
eight to fourteen was recommended not
to pass by the committee. A preamble
in regard to bill of rights, and prOvis-
ion for the publication of all general laws
as passed in the legislature was re-
ported without recommendation. Wat
son said he was not present at the meet
ing; that he considered the publication
OF the law unnecessary, and had a

was given to submit the report at any
time. There may be fight over this.
The committee on labor asked for
further time to consider the propositions
relating to Chinese labor, laborerS under
contract and discharged employees. A
great deal of interest is manifested in
these matters. r. G. Wylie, district sec
retary of the National Reform associa-
tiOn. presented an article or proposition
in regard to moral principle IN civil
government, in which the statements
are made that nearly all the state con-
StitutiOnS contain Acknowledgements Of
Almighty God, more or less clearly eX-
pressed, but the association desires
something more definite. God should
be acknowledged as the source
of that authority which is
vested in the the majority. His
will should be taken for supreme law
on all moral issues in the sphere of po-
litical life. The Lord should be recog-
nized as the king of nations. Besides
this. foundation should be laid for
just and necessary legislation on the
questions of marriage and divorces.

strqction in the public schools The
committee submitted proposition for
the establishment of a bureau of labor,
and the appointments of a superintend-
ent. A delegate objected on the plea
of being absent, and privilege to pre-
sent a minority report. A provision
that no officers except. senators and
representatives, under the law of the
new state, should hold more than two
years, was submitted. A resolution
was passed that state examiner be ap-
pointed to investigate the accounts of
all officials at least once year.

put in appearance, and it is said is in
the firm are briefly these: Early in
July the grain Inspector was informed
that the firm delivered bad wheat, and
one of his aides detected shipment
of mixed grain made to the East.
Following this came the disclos-
ure that the firm had been getting
two prices for wheat. Advances had
been obtained from different banks
upon warehouse receipts which were
deposited with the bankers, and the
wheat had been sold and delivered with
out taking up the warehouse receipts.
There was a conference betWe en- the
stockholders who were associated with
the Sherman Bros. in business. 1t was
decided it was high time that the
truth of the rumOrS should be tested.
1t had leaked out that the banks were
having some trouble with the firm and
that in one instance a check of $4,000
from G. B. Gaskill, of the Niagara Mill
ing company, of Niagara Falls, to Sher-
man Bros. d Co., had not been used as
was intended. These stories made them
believe that an explanation was
needed and message was sent by cable
to Edward Michael, who was also inter-
ested with these gentlemen in the
elevator. He replied that Sher-
man would come back at once and
explain. This accounts for their sud-
den return. How great the embarrass-
ment is cannot be learned. Associates
with Mr.. Sherman in the elevator buSi-
ness state it may amount to 100000,
and members of the board say that
100000 is not too large. They assert
the wheat shortages will reach at least
100000 bushels of grain. Edward
Michael said to-day that Stephen
f. Sherman was guilty of no crime
except that of culpable negligence.
Mr.. Michael claims for Mr.. Sherman
that the latter was ignorant of the
double use made of the warehouse re-
ceipts. which is the basis of the dubious
speculation. "Where the money is or
has gone" said he. Eve cannot tell.
All we know is there has been short
age, and the amount will probably be
from $3.50, 900 to S30O,OO0. But every dol
lar of it will be paid''.
