BuildingOperations Very Lively This^Summer.
Thounusually backward spring which^lias been experienced thruU|{liout Mon^^tana has prevented the inauguration of^ninny enterprises us early as was con-^templutod. Hut tho flne woatlier of the^last few weeks has materially changedthe^aspect of things, and lively times are tho^rule now from one end of tbo state to the^other. In no community, however, has^tho improved conditions exerted n more^^narked influence than in' Boseman. Tu^a casual observer Bore man might not pre^^sent the -vppearance of a very lively place^011 ordinary days, for tho reason that the^aidcwulks arc not crowded with idle men^a* they arc in (onto other towns. 'J'ho^fact is, there are no idle men heiv, and^only those intent upon business of some,^kind are seen on the streets.
Buildingoperations aro very active, and^ever) contractor und every mechanic in^tbo city has all he can do and more too.^During the week jusi past the old West^Side school building w as torn dow n and a^large force of men is employed in pre pur^^lin; for the con-truetioi. of tho new High^school building to be i reeled on the same^site. The new structure will be three sto^^ries liich. w ill com JUI.OUO, and w ill lie one^of the most elegant and best cuuipped ed-^Mlees of the kind ill the Mate.
Workon tho addition to tho Ea st Side^school bouse has Ih'cii under way MM^time and is being pushed as rapidly as^possible. The improvements hero will^consist of a four-room addition and steam^heating furnace* in tho basemen: under^the old part.
Thefoundation for the MMM flouring^mill is about completed, the contract for^the construction of the building has boon^let and the work will continue right along^without interruption. By the time^the building is ready to receive it the^machinery will bo on the ground and will^bo in plat e iii time for the summer har^^vest.
Thepoles for the electric street railway^nre all set and the ties ure distributed^along the line. At this writing the rails^have not jet arrived, but they are long^overdue and before this article is pub^^lished they will, ill nil probability, be^here, and tbo work of laying MM w ill^have begun. By tho lirst of July the road^will be in operation.
Thobuilding tor the new iron foundry^is enclosed, and in '^^^ days from this date^it will be occupied und ready for business.^This is an enterprise which should meet^w ith immediate and marked success, as^there is a gieat deal of work here for u^foundry, and then- is not another one^within 10U miles of Bozcmun.
Inaddition to those works of public in^^terest and importance there are scores of^priv ate residences going up, many of ihein^being structures thai would do credit to^any city in tho Northwest. In every por^^tion of this city tho most familiar sounds^heard are those of tho hummer and tho^saw . From morning till night the streets^are lined w iih MM hauling material for^tho numerous buildings under way. There^is no occasion fur men or MM to lie^idle, for there is a demand exceeding the^supply.
Withall this activity thero is not the^slightest indication of a boom. It is sim^^ply the legitimate outcome of a demand^for more residences and for accommoda^^tions for the increasing business Interests^of the rlty. In many towns business^blocks and residences arc built for s|^eeu-^lative purposes, the ow MM taking chances^011 securing tenants, after the buildings^arc ready for occupancy. Horo there is^not a house in course of construction that^has not some one waiting to occupy it us^soon as completed. While the ritizcusnro^building up tho city by private enterprises,^the city lathers are keeping in lino w ith^the procession by opening up uew streets,^laying new sidewalks where they aro^needed, grading and making other neces^^sary improvements.
Fromthe nhovo statement of facts it will^lie seen that Boiuinun is one of tho most^progressive cities in the state, and that^her citizens have an abiding faith in hot-^future. She expects to be the permanent^capital, and has excellent grounds upon^which to base her hopes. Failing in this^she is sure of one or more of the state in^^stitutions, home of which will he quite its^advantageous to the town receiving them^as the capital itself, lint with anything^or nothing 1km man is ull right: for with^her udiuirable location and splendid re^^sources her prosperity is ass tied for all^t line.
Owingto the rapid strides iii.it Bozc-^inau is making this season, and to her^prospects for future advancement both as^a business and residence citj. pro|x^rty^values are already beginning to have an^upwurd letideiiej. Those* who contem^^plate investing 111 real estate there for any^purpose should get ill before prices ad-^1.111,0 Those looking for homes will liml^just what the) want in our Wc-.-t Side ad^^dition, where tho most desirable residence^lots ill the city are offered lor sale on such^easy leruis that any ^olkliigman can se^^cure one or MM of them us easily us u^millionaire.

CLAIMS OF RIVAL FORCES
ClevelandSupporter* Diligently at^Work-Illinois Heard From -^Soma of the Talked-^of Dark Horses.
CnirAOO,June 18.^The opening of con^^vention week will rind the line of battle 1^closely drawn, and every candidate seem^^ingly assured of the exact strength with^which he will enter tho contest. The^chief uncertainty will be as to tho action i^of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. Should^these states cast tbeir solid support for^Cleveland in the first ballot, there can be^little doubt but be would receive two-^thirds of tho vote requisite for noiuina- j^lion, but should these states cast tbeir full ^^strenhth for a f i\orite son.tho probabilities ^^of Cleveland's nomination on the opening j^ballot will be vesy remote.
CongressmanSpringer of Illinois is urg^^ing in the interest of expediency thut the |^Illinois id-legation vote for John M. Palmer^on llrst ballot, and continue its efforts ill^behalf of the Illinois leader until a tiomi- j^nation is reached. Henry Wattcrson is I^understood to bo laboring with tho Ken- |^lucky delegation in efforts to secure the^solid vote of that state for Carlisle, and .^Senator Voorhees of Indiana is making a^like demand from the Hoosicr state in^behalf of Gray.
llis reported to-night that the promi^^nent democratic leaders of those three^states are endeavoring to arrange a con*^ference of delegates at w hieh It will bo^mutually agreed that the nomination of^Cleveland is inexpedient ami that the lot^votes w Inch he might otherwise receive^from these states, be distributed among^favorite sons. The delegations of these^three states ure practically lreo to act as^they please In an emergency, und the^great question is, will they abandon^Cleveland in the interest of tbeir western^candidates.
(iray'sChances.^Conferences of Indiana delegates during^the afternoon indicate that Gray cannot^possibly see nre tho unanimous vote of the^state on the llrst ballot, or, indeed, until^Cleveland is practically retired from tiie^race. It appear* Cleveland has M dele^^gates in the Indiana delegation who will^vote for the ex-president from tho liegin-^ning, and despite the great efforts made to^induce them to go with tho other is men^of the delegation, they show no signs of^weakening up to the present.
TheKeutut'ky Delegation.
Thegreatest mystery surrounds the
Kentuckydelegation. Replies of Henry^Wattersou to all iuqiiries afford but little^information of what he and his colleagues^intend to do. t 'arlislo has gono to tbo ex^^tent of saying bo views w ith gravity the^situation thut would be presented by the^nomination of Cleveland. He does not go^so far us to express an opinion that de^^feat would be the penalty of Cleveland's^nomination. No doubt with Carlisle out^of the race, fully half of the Kentucky del^^egates would be disposed to favor Cleve^^land.
AnxietyIn Cautp.
Thereare many who ttclieve if the 48^votes of Illinois are cast for Cleveland on^the llrst ballot, they would result in such^enthusiasm as to effect his nomination.^For this reason every resource known to^modern politics is being brought to bear^by the different factions to control the in-^lluenco of tho delegation. Two booms^w liich blossomed to-day an* causing con^^siderable anxiety to the Cleveland leaders^to-night. They aro tho Gorman and Mor^^rison booms and there is no doubt but the^friends of both gentlemen ure laboring^assiduously to bring thorn into the con^^test as compromise candidates. Go, man^of course could get tho solid vote of the^Maryland delegation and it is assumed he^would receive substantial support from^various southern delegations. Morrison^appears to lie principally urged by the^delegates from Kentucky, Arkansas and^Texas.
Theproposition to vote for Palmer^whenever the nomination of Cleveland^appears inexpedient finds no particular^opposition to-night from the Morrison^people and it is probable the great tariff^reformer will only be rushed into the con^^test us a dark horse after Cleveland has^retired, and Palmer has received tho loyal^support of the Illinois delegation for sev^^eral ballots.
Thiii man ^ in the Field.^The Tamilian) organization of New^York stands ad impassable sphinx of^warning by its very attitude.^The democracy of the nation^seems against the selection^ol a presidential candidate from the Em^^pire state. The much-hoped-for harmony^between ilie two Sew York factious shows^no sign of realization, and even the most^sanguine Cleveland enthusiasts are forced^to admit tho utterances of the Tammany^leaders do not give any usstirauce thut^they will support tho presidential ticket in^event of Cleveland's nomination. It Is^this particular situation in the great pivot^state which causes the anti-Cleveland peo^^ple to cry out against the expediency of^the ex-president's rciiominution, but in^view of the recent decision of the supremo^court in Michigan on the electoral law,^mid the fact that the democrats of Kan^^sas will probably endorse the people's^ticket, Cleveland admirers suy he can be^elected w MM the Empire state.
Colorado'ssiller Men.^^The Colorado delegation w ill not under^Mf contingency vote for Cleveland.'' said^e\-Senatur Thomas Patterson of Colorado^to-!iight. ^The reason is bis unreasonable^and unrelenting enmity to free coinage.^To favor tree coinage and Cleveland is a^political paradox. 1 cannot understand.^The mountain delegates want a can^^didate whom they have reason to know^villi not veto a free coinage law if con^^gress enacts one. If Cleveland is nomin^^ated, he w ill not only lose New York, but^almost certainly several southern states,^f owing to the alliance's deep feeling on the^' outage question. I believe the nomilia-^| lion u' Cleveland villi lose democracy nut
onlytiro presidency, but the next bouse of^representatives.
TheTemporary Chairmanship.
Thesub-committee on temporary' organ^^ization held a meeting to-day, but did not^decide on a temporary chairman. A de^^cision will be made at a meeting Monday^^Owens of Kentucky and S-cvenson of Illi^^nois continue in front as probabilities for^the office, with some mention of Wilson of^West Virginia.
WhatSpring^ Said.
ThePalmer boom received an impetus^to-day by the arrival of Congressman^Springer and his declarations that Cleve^^land's nomination would be political sui^^cide and that it is lite duty of the Illinois^delegation to support Palmer from tho^very opening of the convention. Springer^said: ^If Cleveland is nominated^it will b^^ necessary to reorganize tho^democratic parly in New York. To dis^^card the organization which nominated^and elected Tildon and which nominated^Cleveland twice, und onco earned the^state for him for president; w liich nomi^^nated and elected hitu governor and w hich^has now seven mMNIbI signal vic^^tories to its credit in tin- state, would lie^an act of suicitle. I cannot believe, the^national convention w ill do it.
firayin llo- I'luhl.
Ata meeting of the Indiana delegation^for the purpose of i i'gani/.atiou, ll was^demonstrated that the Gray M are in^tho ascendancy. They pulled together^and captured the full organization. Tho^12 delegates who proposed voting for^Cleveland on the lirst ballot, voti-d solidly^against the Gray ticket. Alight as to a^unit of tint delegation on Gray will occur^at tho second meeting Monday. Whether^tho efforts succeed or not, it nas lieou do-^cided that Senator Vnrhaes present Gray's^name to the convention.
Ilooiiiliigi h-veUml.
Thearrival of William C. Whitney was^marked by more methodical work for^( levvhind. Due evidence of the work of^( lev eland men was shown to-day in the^efforts being made to reduce the size of^the Held to be entered against the h-ador.^In each stale wh^re then' is talk of fa^^vorite sous, Cleveland men arc to be put^nt work to the prevent the nomination of^dark horses. This morning ^ letter was re^^ceived by James H. Echols, delegate from^the Eighth Illinois district, from Morrison,^which tho Cleveland men are using to^keep Illinois in line for the ex-president.^It said: ^I don't see that we can do any^^thing except follow out the line of action^indicated by the proceeding of our state^convention, anil let the consequences take^care of themselves. Anything else must^lead to recrimination and division.
TheMichigan delegation arrived during^tho day and came out strongly for Cleve^^land. A number of West Virginia demo^^crats also put in their appearance, and^unless Gorman is placed ill nomination us^predicted, Cleveland w ill get all the votes^of that state except |icrhaps two. Penn^^sylvania. New Jersy and Delaware aro re-^gaMaa as CWveland factious to be oV^potidod on at all times. It is the Sooth^that Cleveland leaders look to with much^apprehension.
Missouri'sItch-gut ion.
Thesituation iu the Missouri delegation^is badly complicated : Urst as to instruc^^tions und second as to national commit^^teemen. l)clcgate-at-Lurgo C. C. Moflltt^said that t he di legation w ill vole for Cleve^^land.
Thestory that Colorado would supper*^Boies on all ballots is denied at Colorado^headquarters. The delegation is favora^^ble to Hill and after Hill, Gorman. Gov^^ernor Francis of Missouri, w ho is in the^city, says he can safely suy livc-^sixtoenths of the people of the I^Missouri democratic purtv favor f lovo- |^land as long as he is in the light.^^For one. I put my trust ill him because I^I'm certain if he could not carry New York )^he would be first himself to w ithdraw his^name from tho couveujtlon. Cleveland's^attitude suys lo ihe democracy of the^United States as plainly as though he put^It in words ^I can lead the party to virtory^in November.' His candidacy itself is a^porsotial pledge of his private liclicf. and^we in Missouri* taken as a sufficient guar^^antee as to the cx|H-dicucy of nominating^him.
Interestsuf tin- tVest-
Westerndelegates have taken steps 1^which may have mi hMMtMl hearing^up.hi the result of the convention. To^^night representatives of tlie trims-Missis^^sippi states, more es|M-cially those inter^^ested in the flee silver question, met at the^l'ulmer house for tho purpose^of deciding upon some action where-^by the West must bo recognised^as a factor in the presidential^struggle. After tho conference it was de^^cided to hold a further meeting to-mor^^row and then arrange a meeting in which^all Western delegates take part Motukiy.^The exact intentions of the delegates aro^not declared, but it Is freely Ktutcd thut^nothing is expected from ih it territory for^Cleveland, and its representatives did not^intend placing him in a |*e-iiioii when- he^could grunt or refuse any request made.^May Vote fur flrover.
TheIllinois delegation organized to^^night by electing Hon. A. E. Steven^^son, dclogate-ut-large. as chair^^man of the delegation The presi^^dential question was di*cus^^-d^only tu the extent of declaring Ihe senti^^ment of tho delegation. .No formal ex^^pression as to preference will be given at^such a distant pi nod before the conven^^tion. The sentiinsiit of the delegation^seems ill favor of voting for Cleveland on^Urst and possibly suhsi-qucnt ballots.^mm t-'lguri-n.
Aiiicin!^cr of the executive committee^of the Syracuse delegation, to-night gave^out a mm nt claiming Cleveland had^5t*i votes cir illl short of the necessary twi*-^tbirds.

Tho fact of^his death was concealed for some time^with tho object of reaching his father^with the news in a less shocking manner^than by the public announcement. Efforts^to get telegraphic communication with^him failed, however, and at Iflltl the news^became public. It was only a quarter of^itti hour is-fore the fatal cud came that the^least intimation thai young Illume was in^a dangerous condition bi-eame known,^then onl) to a few of his moat intimate^friends.
Attho Baltimore ^ Ohio railroad^headquarters in this city, his associates^were only aware that ho was ill and hail^b, en so several days.

He^was con lined to his ls-d shortly after his^return Ir mi the north. It is thought pos^^sible that the strain of excitement at Miu-^Mkyolis followed by keen disappointment^at the outcome, had no little to do w ith^the prostration ensuing.
Hisdeath occurred in the home of^Blaine's father-in-lan , C^ i us H. McCor-^tuick. Only his w ife, sou and Mrs. Mi-^Corniick were present.
