EXTRA SESSION TALK Congress Will Probably Assemble in October, Says Senator Thurston. SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST Henderson and Sherman Apparently Are the Leaders-Weilcome to Dewey. Ipecial Corresoondence of The Gazette. Washington, May 15.--Senator Fair banks, who was at Virginia Hot Springs when the president and Mrs. McKinley arrived there, says the presi dent is delightfully situated to enjoy the rest he is seeking. The president i likes it so well that he telegraphed Vice I President Hobart to join him, but Mr. I Hobart will probably decide to let well e enough alone and remain in Washing- t ton as long as the weather continues e pleasant. He is improving steadily and gaining strength every day. f General Otis has notified the war de partment of the departure, last week, t from Manila of the transports Pennsyl- f vania, Nelson, Cleveland and St. Paul. These transports all carry volunteers c and will go direct to San Francisco, 4 with possibly a short stop at Honolulu. Requests to be sent home by way of the r Suez canal and the Atlantic route have been received by Secretary Alger from a number of the volunteer organiza- t tions in the Philippines, but as that I route is nearly twice as long as the Pa- t cific route, besides being considered dangerous to the health of soldiers who have been in the tropical climate of the Philippines, he decided that it would be best to have all the transports brought home by the. Pacific route, and d has so notified General Otis. The sentiment in favor of an extra session of congress is increasing rapid ly. Senator Thurston, who is in Wash- I ington, said: "I am inclined to think g that congress will be called together early in October. not so much because a of imperative business as because of the Ii mass of new and important business to V be attended to. If we do not meet earlier than usual it would not surprise me to see congress in session until Sep- s teamber or October of next year. I am fsure the majority of members would prefer to meet early this year and get o away to look after election matters earlier next summer. If we do not 6 meet until the regular time, nothing tl will be done until January 1. The elec- v ition of speaker and the appointment of I committees can at least be gotten over n before the regular time by meeting tI early, and if there is to be currency e legislation it ought to be passed early, t, so that it will not Je misunderstood in n the fall elections. There would be t. little extra cost in an early session. " tl Rnnns.anttive Hendenrsn of Inwa. 0 who has been in Washington since the republican caucus committee, of which he is chairman, completed the financial bill, left for home last week without announcing a date for his return. Col onel Henderson has too much good hard horse sense to do any blowing con coeriniug the progress of his campaign for the speakership, but he does not hesitate to say that he is very well sat isfied with the outlook. While in Washington Colonel Henderson saw and talked with nearly one hundred repub lioan representatives, but how many of them pledged him their votes is some thing about which he is not talking. Representative Hopkins of Illinois has not been to Washington since the an nouncement of his candidacy for the speakership, but letters from him and the talk of his friends, who are numer onus, say that he has every reason to consider his chances as good as those of any other candidate. Representative Sherman of New York is expected in Washington in a few days for an in definite stay. If any candidate may be said to have the lead, Sherman has it apparently. Some of his supporters go so far as to claim that his nomination is already assured, but that is probably a fiction, used for its effect upon waver tug representativcs. With large dole gations like those from Pennsylvania and Ohio unpledged, as nimlbeors of both say they ate, it is still an unwon cgntest. The industrial commission, now sit ting in Washington, has taken up the subject of the trusts, and its lnm bers are trying hard to get at the true in wardness of the widest-known of the combines, such as the oil and sugar trusts, through questions asked of wit nesses who are connected with them. The answers of the witnesses, while ap parently frank, have not up to this time resulted in throwing much light on the subject. Seoretary Long will see that the ad ministration's part in the national wel come that Is being planned for Admiral Dewey is all that the man and the oo. anona call for.

This is the first Philippine hero to be buried in Arling ton, but there will be many more, as soon as General Otis considers it safe to ship their remains. LATE NEWS IN BRIEF. The grain shovelers at Buffalo have gone on a strike which has tied up all the elevators. A late dispatch to the Chicago Record from Paris states that United States Senator W. A. Clark of Montana has sailed for this country. Roswell P. Flower, ex-governor of New York, died Friday night at East port, L. I. He was in robust health the morning before his death, but was stricken with heart trouble. A collision of passenger trains oc curred on the Philadelphia & Reading road at Exeter. Pa., Friday night in which thirty persons lost their lives and twice as many were injured. The Petit Blue of Paris says that ten members of the republican guard and four gen d'armes have left St. Nazaire, France, on board the steamer Lafay ette to form an escort to bring Dreyfus I to France and that his return may be ( expected by the end of June. f Tod Sloan was presented a few days ago to the Prince of Wales by Lord William Beresford at Newmarket and the American jockey was not a bit e flustered at the honor. The prince t spoke of Sloan's success on the turf and t called him a great rider. Sloan agreed k with him thoroughly and the in geniousness with which he did this moved the prince to laughter. Rear Admiral Schley expects to leave Washington this week for a western trip, which will include a stop at the home of ex-Senator Manderson in Ne braska and a tour of Pike's peak and d adjoining country. He will be away from Washington about four weeks and will accept a number of invitations from western cities, including Chicago and St. Louis, which have expressed a k desire to entertain him. Pcstmaster General Smith has issued a the following order: "Postmasters at presidential postoffices are required to give their personal attention to the i business of their offices, and must not N absent themselves therefrom for a longer period than one or two days without authority granted upon writ- e ten application to the department. li Violation of this order will be deemed d sufficient cause for removal." Post- tl masters in some cities have been leav- f, ing much of the actual administration el of their offices to their assistants. a It is the intention of President Mo. Klnley to be in the western states at IV the time of the return of the volunteers a who have done heroic service in the F Philippines. It is expected that the necessity for the retention of the volun teers in the island of Luzon will not exist much longer, and when the volun- . teers reach their native states for muster out, Mr. McKinley hopes to be there to greet and honor them. If the p trip to west already planned should not p occur when the volunteers are return ing, another journey will be made to carry out this purpose. tl At the meetine of the federation of Miners Monday in Salt Lake, by unani mous vote, it was decided that Butte l shall be the headquarters of the associa. tion for the ensuing year, and the Pueblo Courier was named as the offlt cial organ for the same length of time. The following officers were elected: Edward Boyce, president; J. F. Mo. Donald, vice-president: James Maher, secretary. The following were named as executive board: J. F.

Princeton students and Pawnee Bill's Wild West employes indulged in at pitched battle Monday and continuous I and serious rioting was prevented only by the presence of men with cool heads and the action of President Patton of Princeton university, later in the day, in calling a mass meeting of all the students. For fifty years it has been an unwritten law of Princeton that no circus parade must pass through the streets.

Benjamin, representing the Hel ena Independent,. was doing business through this section last week, making acquaintances for himself, and nu merous subscribers for the well known paper he represents. No doubt winter will be completely over by the Fourth of July next, on which day the people of this section will as usual celebrate in the good old fashioned way. A string band of four pieces has been secured for the occasion and an exhibition of fire works will take place in the evening, as well as other special features and extend the usual cordial invitation to all to join in the festivities. L. L. Moffet, owner of tihe "Keg Ilandle" ranch on Musselshell river, spent several days in this section last I week looking after his interests, and I making arrangements to move his I family to the newly completed resi dence which was begun by the late I James H. Schuall. Messrs. Gordon & Ostrander met < with quite a loss by fire which occurred I Friday afternoon last at their Fattic Creek ranch, and resulted in thirty to I forty tons of bay being destroyed, as 1 well as one valuable saddle horse, a few head of sheep, several sets of I harness, saddles, implements, sheds, E etc., also one saddle horse belonging to W. H. Smithey, an employe. Up P to this time the origin of the fire is un known, which took place while no one was about or close to the ranch caus- I ing nothing to be saved whatever. Miss Elyina Hazelton arrived from e Minnesota lately and will spend the s summer visiting her aunt, Mrs. Moses C Boland. I H. A. McLain of Laurel arrived the 6 first of the week with nursery stock, delivering orders which lie secured, r also setting out several hundred apple trees contracted for by farmers and ranchers along the river.

Walter Alderson of the Red Lodge Picket is responsible for the followiqg, published in the last issue of his breezy paper: A Carbonado gentleman vouches for the truth of the following story: "A few days ago, while Dr. E. E. Doty was in his office quietly reading medicine, a man named Riockman en. tered in a very excited condition and exclaimed that he had something in his eye. The doctor told his patient to sit down and he would examine his honest looking optic. While prospecting around in the eye the physician dis. covered a dark object, which, with the aid of a telescope, he made out to be a chicken. He told the patient what was in his eye, but was in a quandary how to get the chicken out, when Itiokman, in a fit of absent-mindedness, said, 'Catch it by the neck to keep it from squawking.' The doctor did so and the chicken was subsequently recog nized, on account of its bald head and single tail feather, as being the proper ty of a resident of the vicinity." 3-~---- ----e . . LINCOLN INSPECTION GOiES, it Will He Sufathelent for Stock Eltering Montana The Gazette is furnished with the following item from a Lincoln (Neb.) paper, which is of interest to persons shipping stock into Montana: P. H. Geoghegan, general manager Lincoln stock yards has received notice from the state veterinarian of the state ,of Montana that he will allow all sheep and southern cattle to enter the state of Montana for breeding and grazing pro viding said stock are lacompanied with a certificate that they have been in spected at the Lincoln stock yards. As the state of Montana will not allow said stock to enter that state without having a certificate of inspection, live stock shippers shipping stock into Mon tana should see that said stock are stopped at the Lincoln stock yards to be inspected. As the government in spectors do not charge for inspecting stock at the Lincoln stook yards it will save your stock being quarantined at the state line and all further litigation, T. C. POWER ON SILVER, May. the toplper sand Lead 'TrIust Will Ratls Ihe Pricve, S.'What will anti-trust democrats ave to say when they see the price of silver bullion being advanced by a cow. bination of trusts?" is a question which was propounded by ex. enator T, 0, Power of Montana at the Auditorium Annex yesterday, says a recent issue of the Chicago Inter Ocean, "The price of silver is destined to rim still higher thma at present," said Mr. Power, "and it will be aooom. pitbhed tbrough the manipalatlons of a the coppe trust and the lead"Maml ' trust. Them two truss psottllp a control the silver product of the coun try. The mines in the copper trust produce over half of the output of the country, and the lead smelters control a large percentage of the remainder. "Contrary to the popular idea, there never has been a surplus of silver bul s lion in this country. The only surplus g of silver that has ever existed was in - the silver dollars coined and piled up in the treasury. What has made silver cheap heretofore was the fact that the t lead smelters sold their silver in com petition with each other. The removal of this competition caused the rise in silver, and the manipulation of the trusts is bound to make it go still higher. It was at 64 the last time I i saw the quotations and I believe it has not advanced since. But it is in the power of the trusts to advance it still more and nothing can keep silver down. "It seems to me this will put the free-silver democrats, who have been taking up the anti-trust cry, in con siderable of a quandary. Can they fight a trust which advances the prise of the metal for whose remonetization they are clamoring? "The rising of silver, too, means in creasing prosperity in the west, and as there is not a surplus of silver, the price can probably be maintained. With the price of silver at a figure which will make profitable the operation of mines which were unprofitable during the de pression of silver, the force of the free silver argument in the west will be weakened."
