CmcAon,Sept 28 ^ The expenditure ^^$50,000 000 by two English syndicates for^the control i f an t xtraordinary aggregate^t f industrial enterprises In the United^state* was completed in this city to-day.^The syndicates include in their member^^ship a great cumtx-r of British bankers and^trustee* of large estates in the United^Kingdom. No business was a. quired for^them in the I nited States which has not^paid at least 12-, percent, a year tor the^past five years. Grain elevators, flouring^mills and breweries have been the favorite^Investment. The management of each of^the various enterprises will be placed in^American hoards ot direct'irs. surj-cttothe^control of a b^srrt in London. A repre^^sentative of thesyrdieate here, when asked^to-day if this d^e**n't look like the establish^^ment of a huge British trust, said no Etch^enterprise Is operated separately. ITe^plan is not one of aggression, but of con^^servative, sure investments. Hostile legis^lation, it Is learned, has been cleverly^evaded in a careful manner.
Thedeal embraces a chain of elevators^from the Minnesota and Dakota wheat dis^^trict to Chicago. The syndicate's^flouring mills are at Minneapolis and^the breweries in Chicago and the east.^The purchasing committee, it is under^^stood, left Chicago this evening en route to^the north wes', and intending to go from^there to Omaha and Kansas City, where^further purchases are now being considered.^Among the properties turned over to the^syndicate are a number of breweries in^Chicago. A'bany. Detroit, Newark, Jersey-^City. New York.

Billing*.Sept, 28 ^[Special to the In^^dependent ]^To forecast the political^prospects of Yellowstone county is like^every other county In the territory, a task^by no means easy. Vet with all fairness^the democratic party ha* every reason to^expect gains In this county At the last^election Cartel's majority was while it^is generally conceded this year that the^republican majority, if any, will be leas^than 100. The republican party in this^county is composed of men who have more^or leas time at their disposal to devote to tbe^interests of their party, while the democratic^party is made up of the laboring claar, who^must ne*d8 de\ote their time to their daily^labor, thus making tbe democratic party^heavily handicapped. It is safe to say that^there will be no democratic vote for tbe re^^publican candidates on the state ticket and^with the excellent material for county of^^ficer* there is no reason to believe that any^scratching of that portion of ti e ticket will^be done. The republicans, however, are^somewhat divided on the county^ticket, as the nominations were^not all made on tbe merit* of the va^^rious candidates for nomination, but by the^machination of the party leaders.
Thedemocratic party receives a severe^blow at tbe hands of tbe repuolican offi^^cial*, who have bad charge of the registra^^tion, a* well as the county ^ flic rs, to whom^the registration agent* and judge* of elec^^tion have been compelled to look for infor^^mation as to the legal point* of tbe regis^^tration law, the instructions given having^never failed in working to tbe disadvan^^tage of tbe democrats wben possible, with^^out being too apparent. On the whole the^outlook for the democratic ticket Is far^better than at any time since tbe division^of this county from Custer county. Every^Indication in this cc-untv seem to point to a^surprise to the republicans who, though^working night and day, wear the confident^look of victory. Every mean* available is^being used to advance Sate Interests of tbe^democratic cause, both by loy al democrats^as well as candidates for office, who never^lose an opportunity to work for the good^of the party in general, while jpaking an^individual canvas* and with the gratifying^result

MilksCitt, Sept 28..^| Special to the^independent].^Tbe name* certified to tbe^county clerk from the different registry^offices now amount to 1,278. Tbe full vote^in this county is not expected, as there are^so many who could not register. It is all^important to those parties to see that all^the votes registered are polled. It is con^^ceded by individuals of both parties that^Toole will carry tbe county. Between Ma^^ginnis and Carter the race will be close,^but tbe democrats, with good reason, claim^the former will receive a light majority.^Tbe fate of the remainder of tbe state^ticket is doubtful. It will have something^of a republican complexion, due to the fact^that the republicans were more fortunate^In the matter of registration. Geo. R. Mil-^burn, for district judge. will be^given a handsome majority over^the republican nominee. W. B. Burleigh.^To the legislature will be sent a democratic^senator, at least one representative and a^good prospect of sending two to the lower^house.
Thedemocratic county ticket in the^maj.ir part will go through. The fight for^sheriff, treasurer and clerk will be close^and bitter. These three county office*^have caused a split In each party. The^treasurer will probably fall to the republi^^cans, a* the expenditure of money and^work will undoub ed y have its effect,^though even bet* in large fmount* are^made in sporting circles on the candidates^for these positions. Custer county baa^suffered a loss in it* voting strength by tbe^impossibility of registering numbers of^co*boys. This will have its effect on tbe^democratic vote, wbicb is thereny lessened,^but the county can be counted largely dem^ocratic for the officers to be elected next^Tuesday.

The^H^ n Harrison Spaulding, of the Misson-^Aan, a widely read and influent al j mrnal,^ia a stumbling block in tbe pmih oi tbe ma^^chine ticket. Mr. Spaulding is a republi^^can, but be cannot and will not endorse^and support tbe creature* ot this monop^^oly, and right-minded men honor him for^hi* course. Tbe recognized machine or^^gan is tbe Evening Item, which ia either^sp^t*modicaily onlliant or Irretrievably^^tupid by turn*. Tbe Item ha* a fascinating^way of lauding candidate* that it get*^called down on frequently A few^day* since It picked up John Andersen^republican nominee for treasurer, aad^painted him as the fortunate possessor of^all heralded virtues, beside* a lew outside^ones discovered by tbe Item. Thomas^William*, ex county treasurer, is out with^a card (bowing tbat Mr. Anderaon can^neither make hi* own report* nor keep hi*^own nook* The nex'effort of tbe evening^sh-et was to slobber all over D D. Bogart,^nominee for clerk and recorder. It could^have been picked up here again, as Mr.^B^gart after loainu a position or giving up^a poeitlon with the Northern Pacific, and^being fired from tbe cashier's desk of tbe^Missoula National Bank, was picked up fey^Alvin L*^nt (at tbat time cbrk and record^^er), nominated and elected by him a year^ago, and whose friendship be rewarded^with the basest ingratitude There^ia no reason why tbe democratic county^ticket should not win from top to bottom.^Tbe democracy of Missoula, once the ban^^ner county of the territory, will arise to a^man, vote the ticket without a scratch and^rescue tbe county from the octopurlike^grasp of tbat malign ir fluence which even^now pervade* and control* every branch of^the county government. Tbe republican^central committee are putting up dollars^where tl,e democrat* have not pennies.
Tbedemocrat* are fully alive to the^danger which threaten* them, and their^work in tbe paat few week* is being felt.^Decent men of both par 1** realize the fact^that If they allow the ring, which I* striv^^ing for supreme power in Missoula county,^to be victorious this year they will never^again haveanyinflu nee in public affair*,^and with the cry, ^a free ballot and pore^elections,^ tbe uest people of Missoula are^rallying to the support of tbe democratic^ticket and on tbis tide of popular indigna^^tion against republican methods, Toole,^Maginnis and the rest of the state ticket,^witb the county ticket as well, will be car^^ried to victory.
