To FIX THE BOUNDARIES.

The Commission to Run the Lines for -Four

BUTTE, July 16.-TSpecisl to the Inde-
pendent THE boundary line commission
appointed by the act of the last legislature
to establish the boundary lines between
Silver Bow, Deer Lodge. Besverhead and
Missoula counties held its FIRST meeting in
Anaconda yesterday. The commission is
composed Of l.. T. Wymsn, representing
Silver Bow county; Morgan Evans, of Deer
Lodge county; A. G. NOyes, of Beaver
head county, and II. c. Myers, of MIssOula
county. All the members were present,
and the commission organized by the cleo
ton OF Morgan Evans president; A G.
Noyes secretary, and g. A. Komburg sur
veyor of the commission. After a little
preliminary discussion the commission ad
jOurned to meet July 25, at Gregson's S
Springs, to begin their work.
The work of this commission will require
the running of lines through about fifty
miles of the toughest kind of country. The
acts make it obligatory on them 10 estab-
lish the lines very plainly, and 70 erect
numerous monuments, so that there may
be no difficulty ia finding the lines. The
four counties mentioned all corner at the
same place, and all four lines are in dis

on Mil creek, and its results are of cOnsid-
cradle Importance. There has always
been considerable trouble in that locality,
and the voters Of French gulch, McCune's
wood camp and adjacent places have never

70 vote. Some have undoubtedly voted in
seHeraI counties at the same eIection.

MILITARY MANEUvREs.

Something About the Marches of Troop.
in the Different Divisions.
Washington Special: The military ma.
neuvers OF the troops at the various from
tier posts will 5e more systematic and CON-
prehensive this summer than ever before,
though still very Insignificant in cOmpar-
ison with those of the standing armies of
other nations in time of peace. There will
be nothing deserving the name of mobil-
iZation, and the marches in the different
departments will be made independently
Still the msneuvers will take place under
general orders from the secretary of war,
instead Of at the independent discretion OF
department commanders, as heretofore
and the secretary has been asked TO make
a specific allotment of funds TO meet their
ment commanders were limited TO such
movements as were possible with the SUD
plies regularly issued to the several
posts. This meded long marches of cavalry
especially lmpracticable, as there was
no authority to buy forage en- route.
Any money for these maneuvers must be
taken out of the general appropriation, and
the secretary has not yet determined how
much can be spared. lie has been asked
for S35, 600 for the division of the Missouri,
where the principal marches will be made.
OF this $4,000 is intended for the depart-
ment of Dakota, $4,000 for the Missouri
and $1,000 for the Platte, where some
quite extensive marches are in cOntempla-
ton. IL is thought that the question OF
allotment will be decided and the general
order issued as soon as Secretary Proctor
returns from Vermont
There Is only one opinion In the army
about the utility Of these movements. They
break up the routine Of garrison life, train
the troops in actual marching. afford the
opportunity for important evOlutions im-
possible within the narrow limits of a post
drill ground, and, above all, test the capae-
ity Of Tegimental and camp officers for the
active duties of the military profession.
Promotion is slow 10 our army, and the
service Is full OF captains and lieutenants
OF advanced years and expansive waist
girth, who are fain u fall by the WAY side
before the end Of day in the saddle OF a
tHenty-mile trudge with their cOmpa nies.
Last years limited mAneuvers witnessed
some pathetic tragi comedies of this kind
aud sent several worthy but superanouated
warriors before retiring boards. to the de
light OF juniors and 60 the benefit of the
service. The larger strategic training OF
military maneuvers can hardly be enjoyed
within the limited scope of the movements
intended this year. Gen. Scboield desired
TO order general concentration of troops
by divisions, but this was found impracti
cable with the limited funds available.
The actual marches contemplated are
those involved in a concentration by de
partments- and short practice marches by
troops OF posts too remote from the point
of concentration II is thought that the
regiments at Fort Smelling will be ordered

marches. 1t is hoped next year to conduct
them on a large scale and give the ex.
perience some tactical value

To Lax the Railroads.

BISMARCK, July I6.-In the constitu-
tional convention to day, Chairman Cotton,
of the committee on taxation, submitted q
proposition that the governor, secretary OF
state and state auditor shall constitute a
board of assessors. whose duty 1t shall be
to assess each year the railroads of the
state, including the rOadbed, rolling stock
and all buildings, The method of the dis
tribution of assessment is the same as now
in vogue in the state of Illinois. There is
a strong sentiment in favor Of this mode
of taxation of railroads. Mr..
Linwell introduced q proposition giving
a wife full power TO control all property
belonging to her at marriage or acquired
by gift thereafter. The convention appears
unanimous in favor of the protection of the
immense grants of lands for school pur-
poses, but a little divided as TO the plan.
and several propositions have been intro
duced on that subject Mr.. Blemett intro
duced "A proposition that II at any time the
state shall prohibit the manufacture or sale
of liquor, it shall indemnify the brewers
and distilleriss. Mr.. Comp proposed that
the question of prohibition shall be submit
ted in two forms-absolute prohibition and
high license.
The proposition to have the legislature
consist of a single body Is gaining ground
with the convention and has been made a
special order for the committee of the whole
to morrow. The committee on judiciary
has not yet reported on the question of
establishing courts and aboishing the Office
of justice of the peace. Much interest is
felt in this question

CHICAGO, July I6.-General Master
Workman Powderly and some OF his col
leagues on the executive board of the
Knights of Labor arrived in the city this
morning and held secret conference at
their hotel.
The board decided the next general
assembly shall be held at Atlanta, Ga,
the second Tuesday in next November.
During the afternoon Mr.. POwderly re-
tired and received calls. In talking to a
reporter as TO the purpose of the board
coming west, Mr.. POwderly said this was
the quarterly meeting of the executive
board and was called in Chicago for the
convenience of the northwestern assem-
blies. The statements Of some newspapers
that it is to revive the waning influence of
the Knights IN this portion OF the country
and that the meeting is an exceptional one,
are false. In reply TO q query as 20 whether
the board had come west % confer IN any
way in regard TO Barry's United Brother
hood, the general master workman said

matter is greatly exaggerated. We don't
hear nearly so much of the United Brother
hood in the east The talk of 1t is mainly
in the west" Concerning the present.con-
dition of affairs in the Knights of Labor, he
said: "At present we have a membership
of 00,000- When l am asked 10 explain
the falling on, ask why should so many
come in? This present membership is
really an increase which L strongly OPP
posed. Much of il is made up of those
people who think strikes the salvation OF
all evils l have opposed this membership
from the beginning"
Regarding the eiRht-hour day question,
Mr.. Powderly said he is decidedly in favor
of a reduction in the hours of labor, but
was opposed TO sudden measures The
question is now before the order and will
be settled if possible by the next general
