As a conse quence work has been retarded, field notes have not been sent in promptly, and many contractors have been ruined by the delay in getting pay. This has worked untold injury to the new states easpecially Montana. Holman traveled throughout the west and un derstands the situation and I think he will be disposed to give the new states their deserts. Montana is a pre-enu ncntly Blaine state and the strongest reason for this is that he befriended Montana when she needed friends. He was a friend to all the western territories when he was in the house and also in the senate he was especially kind to Montana. When Secretary Carl Schura. had charge of the interior department and trouble over cutting timber came up he helped the people get their tire wood. Harrason, of course, was very nice to Montana when he was in the senate. but Blaine's friendship antedates that of all others. I know of leading democrats in Montana who would sub. scribe to a Blaine fund because they ad mire the man and because he befriended that state state when a friend was most needeti. tilaiute can sureiy carry the state next year. I think the best of feeling prevails between Harrison and Blaine. Coaning Sportlag Events NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-After a vast amount of talk Charlie Mitchell of En gland and James J. Carter of California signed articles of agreement to meet in a six round glove contest in Madison Square Garden within four weeks from today. The men met in the office of a sporting paper this afternoon. Corbett opened the negotiations. The men soon. found that a finish tight was out of the question as Mitchell stuck to the London Prize ling rules. It was then agreed! that there should be a scientific contest for points with ordinary sized gloves. The following articles were drawn and signed: "We, the undersigned, agree to box scientifically for six rounds, Marquis of Queensbury rules, at Madison Square Garden within seven weeks from this date." No money was posted. There will be no stake. Both men seemed agreed to make the meeting one in which to simply decide who is the more clever of the two. Among those present besides Slavin were W. C. Gilmore, Col. Hard ing. Arthur Lumley, Joe Early, Dave Hallock, Mike Donovan, and Sailor Brown. The stipulation made between Slavin and Sullivan's repreeentstives this after noon was that the men should fight within fifteen weeks after Sullivan's the atrical contract expiree. which will bring the light about in September. It was agreed that if Peter Jackson should whip Slavin in their coming fight in London, then Sullivan would meet Slavin. Charlie Mitchell acted asspokes man for Slavin and objected to allowing so much money being tied up. Lum lay offered to pay Slavin interest en the money until September. It is said Richard K. Pox will put up Slavina's for felt next Tuesday. So far as can be learned no direct authorization has been received by Sullivan's representatives to V make the match, but Sullivan said he would meet S1vain when his engagements permitted and his backer, Charlie John son, has taken him at his word.

"2.'-It is re Iported from up the river that another bond of so-called revolutionists were trailed and pursued by United States troops and that a number of them crossed the river into Mexico. That there wasacor-siderable number of them is evidenced by finding thirty-one fires in one camp and the remains of six beevt-s that had been slaughtered for food. There are rumors of other parties at various points along the river between Fort Ringold and Laredo. It is now stated as certain that these parties above Ilingold were to cross the river into Mexico and to draw the Mexican troops from Camargo and vicinity which gang was so gallantly attacked and routed by Capt. Burke and Lieut. Ilayes with less than a fourth of their number of the men--to pillage and sack the town of Carmtargo. It is said Lieut. liasune, late of the Mexican army, who deserted after the murder of his brother by-Gen. Garcias' orders as it suspected revolutionist, is with one of those parties. Now that war has coon tuenced on this side of the river we feel the need of proper garrisoning on the frontier posts. Nothing can be done with the handful of men stationed at these poste. Giarza openly defies the military and threatens to capture Fort Ringold to obtain supplies The Farnnrr' Alliance. Laroalr., N. D., Dec. 23.--The State Farmers' Alliance meeting was continued this morning with President Shortridge in the chair. Reports were received from all parts of the state favorable to the growth of the order. Arrangements were complete and stuck subhcribed for the establishment of a strictly Farmers' Alliance paper, to be conducted and printed by Farmers' Alliance men. The Alliance was unanimously in favor of the erection of an elevator at Duluth or West Superior for the purpose of storing their grain, then studying the markets of the world and selling it at the top notch. R. J. Hall, ex president of the Minne sota Farmers' Alliance made a very able address on national union, as adopted by the United States Alliance. The dele gates to the national convention were chosen. Onward to the Tnab. ToiEK A, Dec. 2:1-The train bearing the remains of the late Senator Preston B. Plumb was three hours late, the de lay having been caused by a hitch in Kansas City. The streets and sidewalks along the line of march to the capitol building. where the obsequies took place, were packed with people. Business houses and private residences were pro fusely draped in mourning and business was entirely suspended. On the arrival of the train the casket was transferred to the funeral car and escorted by four G. A. R. post and Company C, K. N.

Silver Men Pleased. WASHINTroN, Dec. 23.-The silver men are very well pleased with the constitu tion of the coinage committee and regard it as signiticant of the speaker's purpose to afford an opportunity for the passage of a free coinage measure. Chairman Bland is a most ardent democratic advo cate of silver in the house. Silver men strongly urged upon the speaker the selection of Bartine of Nevada as leader of the republican minority, on the com mitter because of his efforts last con gress in behalf of the free coinage, and regards the fact that Bartine heads the list of republican members as another indication of the speaker's friendliness toward a liberal silver policy. One of the silver men on the committee said this afternoon that he had heard some, intimations that Johnson of North Dakota was not to be classed as a free coinage man, but though without posi tive information on the subject, he ex pressed the belief that Johnson was favorable to free silver. Johnson him self could not be found. North Montana Indians in Washington. WAHINoIroN, Dec.23. --The delegation of six Blackfoot Indians from their res ervation in northern Montana has ar rived here and will tomorrow or Monday have an interview with Secretary Noble. In an informal talk with Commissioner Morgan the Indians requested the de partment to provide ti em with addi tional stock and farming implements. They were willing to begin farming whenever they were supplied with the necessary seed and tools. They also asked that their rations be increased. They strougly protested against parting with any more of their land. Fire Is Sacrainmeo. RA(AAMwewro, Calif., Dec. 23.-The most disastrous fire in this city for years broke out early this morning and destroyed Baker & Hamilton's agricultural imple ment warehouse containing a valuable stock. The warehouse building belonged to Wm. B. Howard of San Francisco; in sured for 88,000 which will cover the loss as the walls are intact. The contents. valued at between 875,000 and 880,000, are nearly a total loss, but are fully covered by insured. A Pottery Burned. TaurroN. N. J., Dec. 23.-At 3 o clock this morning a fire broke out at Cook & Hancock's Crescent pottery, and owing to the difficulty of getting water to the scene three out of four of the company's large buildings, together with their en tire contents of finished and unfinished ware were destroyed. The loss will reach $100,000 and is pretty fully covered by insurance. Five hundred employes will be rendered idle until the pottery is re built. g Gave Htm the Slip. Burnr, Dec. 24.-- Wednesday night there was an indignant man running about Butte with several packages in his arms which contained Christmas presents. His name is Young and he had been residing with his family, consisting of a wife and two children. Several weeks ago he went to Neihart to work and returned last night with presents for the little ones. He proceeded at once to his home, and there an unpleasant surprise awaited him. The house was vacant, the furniture had disappeared, and so had the wife and babies. He did not know what to make of it, for it was, in his judgment, improbable that she should remove to any other point in the city and he had reached the conclusion that she must have deserted him. and of course taken the children with her.
