TVorkofthcConstitution-nuildcrsinthe Territories of the Northwest. Complexion of the Committees in Xorth Dakota Legislating Against the Chinese in Hontana Progress Elsewhere. Bismarck, N. D., July 11. The omnibus bill mado no regular provision for. a stenographer, but on tho understanding that fiuch an expenso "wonld, in all probability, be nllowtd by tho general government, and Xor the reason that verbatim reports of all debates will aid in the interpretation of the Constitution by tho conrtsVM-' R. M. Tuttle, of Mandan, will officiate in that capacity during tho sessions of tho constitutional convention. West Superior. Wis., formally invited tho convention, as a body, to attend tho national-waterways convention to bebeld in that city on Aug. C, and the invitation was referred to a special committee of five. The standing committees of the convention were then announced by the. president. There are twenty-three committees, of which tho Democrats receive, the chairf inanship of three that on judicial depart? xnent being under Judge JohnE. Carland, of Bismarck, A. F. Appleton. of Crystal, bein chairman of the committee "on couiitf tind township organization, while W, K; 'PnrcelU of Wahpeton, will preside over that committee which ha9 'miscellaneous,, Snattcrs for its consideration. t The Republican committee chairmen are fcs follows: Printing, Roger Allen, of Grafxou; reporting and publication, J.

Hugeu, Keyjiiolds; revision and adjustment, David Bartlett, Cooperstown; impeachment and : removal' from office, Ezra Turner, Bottineau. Of the committee to consider subjects ro.Litingto corporations other than municipal, Mr. Johnson is chairman, and it is worthy of note that lie is classed as prominent among the so-called anti-railroad people. He promised perfect justice to all corporations The chairman of the committee on temper-: anco, A. P. Ilugen, is pronounced in favor of constitutional prohibition, and his committee is also of the same view on that subject. It is probable that this question will be submitted to a vote of the people in the form of an amendment to tho Constitution, to be voted upon at the same time as tho He'.v Constitution. By request of the convention, Governor fMellete delivered an address, in the course ' of which he emphatically denounced the ' frauds on the ballot in modern times, and ' urged the closest attention to keeping it '.down here, and tho man who buys, ins he wishes, a voto should be made to sutler to tho fullest extent. He "ndnTSfMi thrt RecTfifc linllnt- nnil tho "iearty applause from all the delegates" gave good indications of the feeling in that c mnection. lhe Governor looked lo i I- 1 1 1 . - - . 1 1 luiucu ouu woriv uv mo cuuvcuiiou, ami although his own home was in the new Estate of South Dakota, he was with the other sister in spirit of progress, and expected that the two Dakotas would work together for the good of both at homo as "well as at the national capital. Mr. Purcell called attention to the re ported inaccuracy of the boundary lino belween North and South Dakota, and moved that the joint commission of the two sec-, tions be authorized to effect a temporary ( agreement regarding that line, which 1 motion was made a special order for to-i morrow. ' - ; Rev. R. C. yiley.of the National Reform Association, by request, addressed the convention in favor of the incorporation in ' the bill of rights of the new Constitution of : n recognition of the civil Sabbath and of the almighty Ruler and Savior of the universe. After adopting a motion conferring upon the chairman of the committee on militia the title of colonel, the convention adjourned until to-morrow afternoon. The political pot still boils merrily. Both parties are anticipating a lively campaign. This afternoon Gen. Harrison Allen, tho chairman of the Republicaji committee for (North Dakota, received a telegram from Hon. W. E. Chandler, at Washington, urging the importance of making a certainty more certain in the light for the Kepublican supremacy in the new State by pitching the tight all along the line. As suggested in the dispatch of yesterday, the political situation in North Dakota is evincing more features of interest for delegates than more pressing constitutional ma tters. Chinese Not Wanted In Montana. . Helena, Mont., July 11. In the constitutional convention, to-day, a committee on irrigation, to consist of eleven members, was ordered appointed. A resolntion was introduced by Mr. Choteau providing that the?9 shall be no new counties established tinless the assessed valuation within the limits or boundaries described for the' proposed county shall be 3,000,000, or more. No territory shall be taken from any county which would leave the said county with less than $1,000,000 assessed property." Mr. Eaton introduced a compulsory education resolution; also a resolntion providing that no child under fourteen years of age shall, by any corporation or person, be employed in either mines or manufactories in this State. ' By Mr. Burns, of Clark: That the subject of irrigation is of paramount interest to the State of Montana; one which doeerves the serious consideration of this conveutiou, as on it depends in great mCasuro the future prosperity of tho agricultural interests of the .State. In view of this fact the following articles 6hould obtain place in this Constitution: "The Legislature shall provide for the construction and maintenance of a system of irrigation bycanals and ditches in this State; . said canals and ditches to belong forever to tho State and to remain forever under its control." By Mr. Kickard. of Silver Bow: That the legislative assembly shall have no power to make an appropriation for 'any purpose whatever for a longer period than two years. The l'ollowirHiirong anti-Chinese resolution was intr. .:ed by Mr. Joy, of Park: No corporation now rxistini? or hereafter farmed under the laws of the htate shall, after the adoption of thfs Constitution, employ directly or indirectly, in any eaj aclty. any Chinese . or Moucoli.iu. The Legislature shell pajs such laws as may be uecewiry to enforce this provision. 'o Chinese shall bo employed on any State, county, municipal or other public works witbln thi Mate, except as a punl.hnient for crime, t he Lecirflatnie hall dUcourcire, by nil means within Its power, the iiuniicratiou to this Mate of all jorelgnen ineligible to Income citizens of the United Mate. -All contracts for Chinese coolie labor to be performed In the Mate shall be void. All companies or corporations mine such labor hhallbe punished by iuch tines and penalties a the Legislature may prescribe. The Legislature shall delegato all necessary fower to incorporated cities and towns of the tatefor the removal or the Chineo without the limits of uch citte and town, or for their location within prescribed portions of those limits. The following, ofl'ered by Mr. Maginnis, of Lewis and Clarke, was referred to th committee on irrigation, to be included in the memorial to be drafted and sent to tho Congress of tho United States: Whereat, The government of the United States has ctutornarily erantedto new Mutes all swamp lands within their boundaries, and. Whereas, The quantity of such land in the State of Montana would he very limited and of little value, and tho government should deal a liberally with this fctate as with our predecessors; therefore, Heolved, That In Hen of wamp lands the government should grunt the Mate of Montana all arid lands within Its boundaries, on such condition as may provide that the value of such lands bafl be nvot4 to the purpose of constructing cs4 X3Aiau.'ni rw cx voire, fttfeaciea, ditcht!
and other modes of reclaiming the same by irri
gation, and making them if oductlve and valu able. The convention then adjourned till 4 o'clock next Monday afternoon. Many members will visit tLcir homes, while a portion will remain and attend to conuuitteo work. Mineral Land Entries In South Dakota. Sioux Falls, S. D., July 11. Tho eighth day's session of the South Dakota constitu tional convention was marked by a spirited debate. It had been proposed to memorialize tho President to suspend mineral entries upon school lands near large cities in agricultural districts Until the State is organized, and can defend its rights thereto in case 6uch entries are attempted to obtain such land fraudulently. Strong opposition was offered, on the ground that tho ordinary operation of the law is sufficient to prevent such frand, and that to ask tho President to suspend an entire class of entries was equivalent to petitioning him to do the same thing that resulted in eo much criticism of ex-Commissioner Sparks. It was further opposed on tho ground that even it parties obtained possession of school lands under cover of mineral land laws, and such lands should prove non-mineral, the title thereto could ultimately revert to the public, and, therefore, no loss be sustained. Despite these considerations, however, tho memorial was ailopted by a voto of thirty-two to twenty -eight-All opposition to the reference of every part of tho Constitution of 1885 to appropriate committee) was withdrawn, notwithstanding the strong objections of the day previous. There is no intention of coing outsido the strict limitations of tho enabling act. It was generally expected that this matter would result in a protracted debate An examination of the enrolled copy of the old Constitution shows a largo number of errors in construction and punctuation. These will be corrected, and the document has been referred to a comniittce for that purpose. A petition was received from the Methodist Ministers' Association of southeastern Dakota asking the convention to provide safeguards for honest elections in the Constitution, and also that the vote on State offices and temporary location of tho State capital bo taken' at a different time than that of tho Constitution, when every effort will bo made to guarantee an honest, election. It is not likely that more than ono wilhbe ordered. Tho work of the convention shows that whilo a large majority of tho members are new and without reputation in public affairs, the readiness and breadth of L.considerablo portion mako tho body average very high. Tho proceedings are characterized by a tone which is certainlvvery creditable to the convention and tho commonwealth. Washington's Hill of night. Olympia, W. T., July 11. The principal business this afternoon was the debate in committee of the whole of the report of the legislative committee, fixing the number to constitute the State Legislature. The committee recommended that the Senate be half the size of the House, tho House to be not less than sixty-f our nor more .than 100 members. Numerous amendments were offered, all favoring an increase to 150 for the lower house and changing thtt Senate from one-half to one-third. In the course of tho dobate it developed that the Democrats nearly all favor a provision for minority representation. The reason universally given for desiring a large body was that it cannot be easily corrnpted by corporations. The committee of the whole finally arose without action. The report of tho committeo on tho prcamblo and bill of rights recited that all men have an equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; all power is in the people; all governments founded on their free will; declares the State inseparably a part of the Union, the federal Constitution the supreme law of the laud; confirms religious liberty; forbids voting mouey to sectarian purposes; guarantees free speech, freedom of the press, right to petition for trial by jury; makes tho military subordinate to the civjl authority; forbids imprisonment for debts, slavery or granting special privi- . leges to anypne; declares that the location of caDital-ard county seats must be by; .election of ' the people; guarantees habeas corpus; defines treason, and provides there shall be no taxation without the will of the people. "A number ot propositions wenrintrodticed, all aimed at corporations. .several for tho organization of a railroad commission, others restrictingor forbidding grants or subsidies.- It is generally conceded that legislation in regard to corporations, trusts, etc., will be very strong and positive. A nnmber of resolutions were introduced favoring the taxation of unoccur pied land held for speculation at tho same figures as adjoining cultivated land; also, favoring taxation of all property but graveyards and charitable institutions; also, for bidding the granting of auy money to sectarian schools.

TROUBLE AIMIOMESTEAD. Knaployment Agent liadly Deaten, and Workmey Frightened Away. riTTsnuRO, Pa., July 1L A party of thirty-one non-nuion men left this city this morning lor Homestead to work in the Carnegie steel plant at that place. When tho train arrived at Homestead it was surrounded by an oniraous crowd of strikers, which frightened tho new men so badly that, only three succeeded in getting inside tho mill. The others ran away, closely followed by tho strikers crying "scab." but no stones were thrown or blows struck, and no one was injured. The aspect of affairs is serious, and trouble is looked for within the next few days. President Weinbanct and Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated Association, nave arrived and established headqnartera at the scene, and will do all in their power to prevent disorder. The sheriff has notified the men to keen away from the company's property under penalty of arrest. The excitement at Homestead wa greatly increased, this afternoon, when, at 2 o'clock, a Baltimore employment agent and three German workmen were discovered at the entrance to the Homestead mill. A committee of strikers interviewed the men, and gave them fifteen minutes to get out of the town. This the Baltimore agent refused to do, and showed light. The strikers knocked him down, and beat, and kicked him ' severely. Two of tho strikers picked him up, and carried him nearly a mile through the town, men, women and children pounding and kicking him all the while. Ilia nose was broken and clothing torn from him. His persecutors left him in a semi-conscious condition in a vacant' lot. lie finally recovered sufficiently to stagger to tho depot, where he boarded a train for this city, arriving more dead than alive. The three Germans started to run at the first alarm of danger, but were followed by a number of strikers, who kicked them and knocked them down, tore their clothing and beat them terribly. They finally escaped from their pursuers, took to the bills, and have not been seen since. Sheriff McCandless held a consultation with Secretary Martin, of the Amal gamated
Association, and tho leaders 01 the strikers, and notified them that the lawless acts must cease immediately. The sheriff posted his proclamation of warning at the mill and throughout the town, but placed no deputies on guard. The borough council to-night swore in a large number of special policemen. Protecting Illinois Miners. Jouet, 111., July 11. Tho great Braidwood miners' strike is about to bo broken. The sheriff has been called on to femish protection to about seventy-live miners who have affixed their names to a contract to resume work to-day at tho Godley mine of the Chicago Coal Company, at the price set by the operators, ba cents per ton. 1 ho sheriff summoned a posse of twenty-five deputies and left for Godley last night, all armed with nileswhichhad been forwarded by the Governor. This first break in the ranks of tho miners docs not meet with approval of the majority of tho Godley miners, and trouble is feared, when the signers attempt to enter the mine.

To the Cdltor of the ImUanaioll Journal: In the Journal of recent date is an article screened by the title 'A Disagreeable Duty," upon which, in justice to myself, I wish to make a few remarks. To conceal its true object, tho article begins and ends with numerous quotations from statistics on tho subject of pardons, but the real object of the article is quite palpable to mp, and, at a glance, I can detect the writer a ine of the men most interested in tho Jiiutioh to use bis own words. Imight add most interested, also, in getting a largo part of the reward for which the conviction of a man, guilty or innocent, was necessary. In this case the man most interested is nei ther "dead, nor has he moved away," but, true to his naturo, lives to torture those who never in the least thing did him an injury. Instead of being most interested in prose cuting he is more interested in persecuting. The part of the article which I wish to cor rect is that relating to tho case of my brother, W. W. Kennedy, now serving out a life sentence for the crime of another. Tho writer remarks that his IKenuedy'sJ i i Jill i i r Bister nas suumittea long petitions numer ously signed to the Governor, a&kinz his pardon, and among them tho names of sev eral of the jurors. 1 want to say that 1 have never presented to the Governor any thing that might be called a petition, for everything 1 ollered was in the nature of evidence to prove the innocence of mv brother, t or this object 1 have worked for lour years, and 'have on file sufficient proof to -convince the minds of all just and unprejudiced persons. This evidence I submitted to the jury that convicted my brother, and, being honorable and conscientious men, not only several (as the writer states) but the twelve jurymen, several of whom not being satisfied oven before this of the justice of the de cision, wrote separate letters to tho Gov ernor asking his release, stating that had this evidence been before put before them at the time of the trial, they could not have done otherwise than to have acquitted the prisoner. Four months later, he not being nardoned. a meetincr of tne mrv wils culled at the Grand Hotel, in Rushviile. and eight of the jurors responded. An urgent appeal was prepared ana sent to the uovernor, asking him to discharge the prisoner that they (the jury) had convicted an innocent man. Then Governor Gray tested the identification of the true murderer, who was at one time confined in the Indianapolis jail. At the time of the killing it was asserted by ono of the most prominent citizens in Greensburg, who was near enough to have put his hands upon the murderer, that he very much resembled the deputy recorder of Decatnr county, and, in fact, was, by him, mistaken for that gentleman. Gov ernor Gray, in company with this witness and the sheriff and deputy recorder, visited the jail in order to test this man's identification; aud from among fifty prisoners both tho Governor and the wituess picked out the one who resembled tho deputy ro corder, and the citizen remarked that "if he were not the man, ho looked sufficiently like him to be a twin brother." Upon leaving the jail the Governor remarked to the sheriff J . 1 !iL il .1 1 3 ami gentleman wun mm max, to nis mina, thi'j was the most conclusive evidence that the State had prosecuted the wrong man. Mv work in the Fiftv-sixth General Assembly was successful in the highest de gree. All the Representatives but ten, all the Senators but one, tho Speaker of the Houso aud the Lieutenant-governor signed my bill upon examining the proofs I had obtained, lhe Legislature adjourned be fore these Representatives .had time for such examination. All this was done, not through sympathy for me, but upon the merits ot the case, mis work, production of most convincing evidence, affidavits of hundreds of promi nent persons, the appeals ot the jury, and the work of tho Legislature goes lor nothing upon the presentation to uov. Hovey by the persecutor of a lengthy it) protest of 115 names. The writer further states that the "delicacy ot the situation is often enhanced by the protestsof some who have been personally afflicted bv the crime." I wish to say that I have the greatest respect for the Baker family t and am glad to know that through the seriousdoubtraised as to whether the right man had been convicted, they havo not put their names to a protest. Again, "the relatives of tho person killed nreo the bad character of tho prisoner." While my brother, who at the time of his conviction had barely reached his maioritv. was not as careful in his associations aa we would have liked, is it justice that he should suffer for tho crime of another! Reside that, his bad character was given him by those interested in the reward. I make the unqualified statement that ho was fent to prinon for life on the character civen him by his persecutors. As to his conduct ince in prison, it nas been irreproachable and without criticism. Everyone of the prison officials aro willinc to recommend a pardon for him. believing in his innocence. No people know so well as tho Indiana people how houestlv I have worked anions them. and from being a complete fltrarjgcr when I

Miss Kennedy is entirely mistaken in her premise that the matter to which her letter relates was written by a man interested in the prosecution of her brother. The article was prepared by a- Journal reporter who had no knowledge of young Kennedy beyond that crowing out of news paper reports of the unfortunate event that ended in Kennedy being sent to prison. J Editor Journal. Gone to South America. Daniel Lemon, of the firm of Lemon & Empey, real estate dealers, has, it is said, gone to South America to engage in the lumber business. This gave rise to the rumor that he went away for other reason. In an interview, yesterday. Mrs. Lemon 6tated that her husband had 6tarted for South America two weeks ago, there to 'buy and sell lumber. Mrs. Geo. Schofield. his half-sister, said to a Journal reporter, last ni ght, that sho knew nothing of her brother' absence until that evening. A. Loftiu, son-in-law of Mr. Empey, Mr. Lemon's business partner, was asked if he knew of the latters whereabouts, and he said: "I did not know he was absent until this evening. Mr. Empey told me that he had received a letter from Mr. Lemon stating that ho was shortly to set sail for South America, there to deal in lumber. The partnership here has not been dissolved, and Mr. Lemon enters the new business alone. The trip is one of a purely business nature, and will probably last but a short time." A Desperate Ilurglar. Early yesterday morning Wm. Wallace and his younger brother, living in West Indianapolis, discovered a burglar in their house. Tho younger Wallace pursued tho man into the yard, where the two clinched in a rough and tumble light. William came to his brother's assistance, w hereupon the burglar, a negro, turned on him and cut him in the left sido of the neck. The blow was a severe one, barely grazing the jugular vein. The negro escaped, but left behind a pair of shoes, by which the police hope to trace him. Accused of J 11 ch way Robbery. Two young men were arrested last evening at the Eden Musee on the charge of highway robberj', committed at Cambridge City, in taking $16.05 from Wesley Mapp, colored. Thcj gave their names as Tom Murry and Harry Lyons. Lyons claims to bo from New York and to be a tattooer.
