THE BISMARCK CONVENTION.
A Sharp Fight Being Made on the
Prohibition Question.

BIsMARCK, N. d., July 13-lSpecial Tele-
gram to The BEE. THE prohibition ques-
tion was given boom in the convention to-
day. Four delegates each submitted pro-
posed article prohibiting the manufacture or
sale of Intoxicating liquors in the state, and
calling upon the legislature TO fix penalties
for the violation Of the law. A canvass of
the question has been made and-it is author
itatively stated that it is known that twenty
of the seventy-fiye delegates ara in favor of
embodying this article in the constitution.
The liquor men and the liberal men of both
the democratic and republican parties are
said TO be stirred up by the introduction OF
the prohibition clause SO early In the ses-
sion, and will hold q private meeting here
Monday for the purpose of deciding upon
steps TO check the progress OF the prohibi-
tion sentiment in the convention.
The railroad articles submitted by a Farm
ers' alliance delegate to-day is taken almost
bodily from the constitution OF South Da-
kota, and in some respects Is severe. The
question of taxing the railroads has been in.
troduced in the debate, and while there are
many IN favor of retaining the present
method OF gross earnings taxation, which Is
satisfactory to the railroads, large ele-
ment Is striving TO have the corporation
taxed upon their lands and property, the
same as individuals.
The first skirmish over the question OF
locating the capital was had to-day, when an
attempt was made by those In
favor Of removal from bismarck to
have special COMMITTEES appointed
to whom shall be referred all matter
relating thereto. This motion was defeated

That Railroad Trust.

NEW YORK, July 13.-[Specal Telegram
to THE BEE. Concerning Mr.. McCook's s
circular in regard to the formation of huge
railroad trust, Mr.. McCook yesterday after
noon said that the statement printed in
Chicago that certain railroads were alread y
committed to the scheme was incorrect. The
original letter, he said, had been writ ten
without consultation with railroad or other
officials. Not man or a road had been COM
mitted to it. McCook has received letters
acknowledging the receipt OF the circular,
but none Of the writers have given the mat
ter sufficient consideration to base an opinion
on it.
Mr. Macgowan, McCooK's partner, was
also seen. and in speaking of the matter SAID
that while what MIR. McCook had stated was
exactly correct, nevertheless there was
scheme IN the air for the formation of a
series of trusts among the railroads, and it
embodied very nearly the ideas in MIR.
McCook's circular. 1t is said that McCook's
scheme is backed by Drexel, Morgan s. Co.,
Brown Bros. & Co., and Kidder, Peabody &
Co., three of the largest banking houses in
the country.
1t is learned from banker of promin ence
that most of the great roads in the west, in
cludlng the Union Pacific. would favor such
a scheme, and that the Gould anu Wander
bilt interests would look at it IN the same
light.
Railroad officials, bankers and railroad
lawyers agree that there is no Likelihood of
even an attempt being made to form rail
road trust. 1t is intimated that some steps
are necessary to remove the Chicago &
Alton and the Burlington 81 Northern roads
from the position they now occupy, and that
a proposition has been made to purchase the
stock of both companies and operate them
by union committee Another scheme pro-
posed is to follow out the plan under which
the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati a. In
dianapolis, the Cincinnati, indianapolis. St.
Louis & Chicago and the Cairo t& Vincennes
roads were consolidated, and form the rail-
ways Of the country into four great systems,
the stocks of the old companies to be can
celled and their individuality destroyed.
