The Manitoba Advancing at a Lively
Rate up the Big Muddy.
BUTTE, June 24.--In'a recent interview
Col. Dodge of the Miontana Central said:
The only news I could give you that
would be of interest to your readers would
be in regard to the progress of the Mani
toba. The road having struck Buford is
now coming up on the Missouri river bot
tom. From Buford out for a little over
one hundred miles the roadbed will be on
the river bottom, and the progress there
will be very rapid-about tive miles per
day.
FROM GREAT FALLS TO HELENA.
From Great Falls to Helena the grad
ingis almost done. It will probably take
sixty days to complete the piling and a lit
tle rock work near the Falls, but if neces
sary the road could be completed within
two weeks. So when the read reaches
Great Falls it will be in Helena also.
BUTTE TO HELENA.
Of course the road between here and
Helena cannot be completed this fall.
The grading to Wickes will be done this
fall, however, and the track will probably
be laid yet this season between these
points.
THE BIG TUNNEL.
Progress on the big tunnel is quite sat
isfactory. I did not get the regular.report
this week, but am sure that they are get
ting along as well as usual. The tunnel is
pushed-forward about five feet every day.
The rock keeps getting harder, and I think
they will get out of the soft streak entire
ly this week. The machinery for com
pressed air drilling is now ready but it is
not profitable to use it in soft rock. It
will probably be put to work next week,
and progress then will be more rapid than
heretofore.
Proclaiming Agamnst Scotch Cattle.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., June 24.-Many of
the leading dealers and shippers of cattle
of the central portion of the state held a
meeting and effected a formal organization,
for the purpose or combating the proposed
change in rates for the shipment of cattle
from the car-load plan to the plan of ship
ment by weight. A petition was forward
ed to the secretary of the treasury, setting
torth that contagious pleuro pneumonia
exists to an alarming extent in Scotland;
that cattle from the infected dLisricts are
allowed to land in Canadian ports, and
that as the treasury department of the
United States has decided against the im
portation of such cattle from Scotland;
they request that the shipment of cattle
from Canada to the United States be pro
hibited, until the Canadian authorities
take suce action in regard to the shipment
of cattle as shall secure certain immunity
to the United States from importation
through Canadian territory.
Rejected It.
WAsmINsTroN, June 23.-Sometime ago
Land Commissioner Sparks framed an
order increasing the period' of residence
upon lands taken up under pre-emption
claims, from six months as under the
present law to be twelve months, This
would be in practical operation a suspen
sion of a portion of the land law, similar
to the sweeping move in that direction
made by Sparks a year ago. The order
was sent up to the secretary of the interior
emd he refused to approve it.

declaration spirtualism has received the
severest blow aimed at it since the day of
its inception.
Henry Seybert was a wealthy citizen of
Philadelphia, who late in his life became
a stroeiever in th\ýenuineness of the
pbew cena revealed 1 j.rofessional me
dium . The reading o is will, after his
death, disclosed the fact that he hadl made
a bequest of $60,000 for the maintenance
of a chair in the University of Philadel
phia, the sole condition imposed being
that a commission should be appointed to
make a thorough but impartial investiga
tion of the phenomena of spirtualism.
Over three years ago a body of distin
guished scientists was selected to under
take this important missicn. Horace How
ard Furness, the famous Shakespearian
scholar, acting as chairman,and Dr.William
Pepper, provost of the university and pro
fessor of the practice of medicine, became
chairman by virtue of his office.
The commission' has secretly tested
numerous mediums from all parts of the
country. The workings of the commis

GENERAL TELEGRAMS.
NEW YORK, June 22.-The case to test
the right of hotel-keepers to sell liquors
to guests on Sunday has been argued be
fore the supreme court and a prompt de
cision is expected. The 1points made by
the hotel men's counsel are that the com
mon law distinctly recognizes the dif
ference between a hotel and a tap-toom,
and that liquor at meals is part of the meal
and not a beverage. Colonel Ingersoll,
for the hotel men, argued that the contemn
poraneous construction was the best con
struction, and the factthat for thirty years
the law had been construed as not prohibit
ing the service of wine with meals at
hotels, and the fact that no one had ever
been arrested for serving wine, had given
that construction the force of law.
HELENA, June 22.-T. C. Power and
James Sullivan of Helena have bought
a fourth interest in the Boulder hot springs
property for $6,500. This was the inter

the valuable and celebrated mineral
springs the property includes several acres
of fine bottom land qn the Boulder river.
The present owners will make great im
provements at an early date.

secretary of the contractors' and builders'
board of trade says: "Work is still at a
stand-still on some of the larger buildings,

going on rapidly in other parts. At the
labor unions the statement that men are
resuming work is denied."

An Historic Weapon.
W. S. Wetzel received from Benton
yesterday a 250-pound brass cannon,
which he became possessor of at the time
he purchased the old fort at Fort Benton
in 1877. The death-dealing weapon was
brought to Benton by the American Fur
Cdmpany in the early '60s, and was
mounted on the adobe fort which they
erected at that point.' The grim monster
struck awe in the breast of the noble(?)
savage as he complaeentily gazed down
its 5-inch throat and viewed the iron and
lead missileq with which it was loaded.
History fails to tell whether this ancient
weapon was instrumental in causing the
death: of any of the aborigines or not;
but for the purpose of not spoiling a good
story we will presume it did, and base our
presumption upon the three marks upon
its barrel, which according to dime novel
literature was the manner in which Indian
fighters kept tally of the numler of their
victims. But not to carry this romance
too far, we will say this blood-bespattered
monster is-now a very tame looking con
cern, and will do service here on the oc
assion of the coming Fourth of July cele
bration. Its voracious throat will make
the welkti ring.

DISTANCING HELENA.
Remarkable Progress of -Butte, the
Great Silver-Copper Camp.
BUTT~ , June 24.-An important article
relative to the progress and commercial
importance of Butte is published in the
Inter Mountain. In six years, it says, the
value of the precious and base metal out
put at Butte has increased from $1,250,000
in 1880 to nearly $14,000,000 in 1886.
Butte's population has increased during
the same time from 8,000 to 25,000. The
number of its mills and smelters has more
than doubled, and their capacity has been
enlarged from 500 tons to 3,000 tons per
day. The pay-roll of the camp, which in,
1880 did not number 1,000 men and whose
wages did not exceed $100,000 per month,
now numbers upwards of 4,000 men who
receive monthly for their labor more than
$400,000.
In 1880 the total freight shipments to
Montana over the Utah & Northern (which
was then completed only to Dillon)
amounted to only 25,000 tons, while for
the year 1886 the shipments to Butte
alone reached the enormous aggregate of
150,000 tons, and its outgoing shipments
were more than 270,000 tons, inclusive of
the 6re shipments to Anaconda. The fine
copper shipments alone were 55,000,000
pounds, with 35 per cent added for dross.
The single item of coal for 1886 was 26,
000 tons, which will be more than doubled
this year. The increase of freight re
ceipts for 1886 as compared with 1885 was
37,000 tons, though the'Anaconda smelter
was closed down for half the year.
The indications now arethatthe receipts
for the current year will be 100,000 tons
in excess of those of 1886, and that the
difference in exports will be still greater.
The fine copper output alone will not be
less than 80,000,000 pounds at the present
rate of production, and the amountofcoal,
coke, michinery, lumber supplies and gen
eral merchandise required, directly and
indirectly, to insure this product can be
easily imagined.
A Migratory Commission.
WAsniNGTox, June 24.-The civil ser
vice commission proposes early in July to
make a tour of the northwest, the Pacific
coast and the southwest. The full com
mission will be accompanied by clerks,

Senator Morgan of Alabama will take
the trip, with a full sub-committee, to in
vestigate the northwest agencies.
Those Captured Flags.
WAsHINGTON, June 24.-The recent
controversy over the capture of battle
flags has caused many inquiries as to the
disposition made of the flags captured by
the navy during the late civil war. It is
learned at the navy department that some
of the flags captured were turned over to
the naval academy and are now there. An
accidental fire in the old navy department
several years ago destroyed some of them.

THE GREAT PAGEANT.
Jubilee Ceremonies Witnessed by En.
thusiastic Subjects.
LoNmox, June 23.-The grand jubilee
ceremonial at Westminister Abbey on the
anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession
to the throne was witnessed by a brilliant
assemblage. The procession from the pal
ace to the Abbey was very impressive.
The line of the route was kept by nearly
10,000 troops, representing all branches of
the service, in addition to 600 boys from
the naval training ships, who were drawn
up at the base of Nelson monument. In
addition to the military many thousand
police, both mounted and on foot, were on
duty. The particular feature at the pal
ace was that two services were equally
honored, the guards lining one side of the
roadway at Buckingham palace gates, and
and on the other side blue jackets were
posted. The same services were also rep
resented in like manner at the entrance to
Westminister abbey. The first royal pro
cession was composed of the Indian
princes. Punctually at 11 a. m. the queen
in an open carriage emerged from the
palace gates. At the sight of her thous
ands of voices were lifted up in cheers,
the applause being accompanied by music
by the many military bands stationed in
front of the palace. The queen did not
wear the state robes but was dressed in
black. Her carriage was drawn by eight
ponies. The Prince of Wales and other
princes of he royal family all rode in full
uniforms beside the queen's coach as a
bodyguard.
The queen smiled and bowed graciously
to the people on every side. Her carriage
was a large one of chocolate color, the
wheels red, and the royal arms in gold em
blazoned upon the panels. Red morocco
harness was used for the horses, which
were otherwise decorated with the royal
blue ribbon. All the servants wore state
liveries of scarlet and gold. The other
carriages containing the members of the
royal family were of a gorgeous character
Shop fronts and first floors were rented
at from $100 to $300 each, and in sorde
cases more. At St. James' parish church
1,000 children were seated and sang "God
Save the Queen." On reaching Regent
Circuit, where six main streets converge,
the sight was a memorable one, the streets
being all splendidly decorated. Many
Americans had secured seats at a palatial
commercial establishment in Waterloo
place and joinea in the enthusiasm as
warmly as the English. In Trafalgar
square nothing but heads were to be seen.
The crowd here was tremendous and com
pletely eclipsed any that has assembled at
the great political gatherings of recent
years.
On the procession nearing the Abbey,
troops saluted, guns were fired, the church
bells rang out merry peals and flags were
run up, the cheering being continued un
til the queen passed in the west door. Af
ter passing through the vestibule her maj
esty was conducted to the grand dais un
der the Lanter tower. She was surround
ed by thirty-two members of the royal
family.
when the queen entered was dazzling.
The 10,000 people who were seated all
arose. The women discarded their wraps
and revealed the full splendor of their
beauty and attire. Three-tiers of galleries
had been built in the Abbey with seats for
10,000. The peers and their wives were
seated in the south transpet, the ambassa
dors and diplomatic corps were seated to
the right and left of the peers, and the
members of the house of commons were
placed in the north transept. The seats
for the members of the reigning families
of Europe, etc., were within the commun
ion rails.
When the services, which were conduct
ed according to the programme,werecom
pleted, the queen's sons knelt and kissed
her hand. Then on their risingshe kissed
their cheeks in return. The princesses
were the next to go through the oscula
tory exercises. The queen kissed some of
the latter twice; especially was this nota
ble in the oases of the Princess of Wales
and the Princess Beatrice. This was fol
lowed by a general hand-shaking among
the royalty and nobility. The princesses
wore light dresses. One of the features
of the service was the performance of the
choir and organ, which was very fine, the
effect of the music enchanting and at times
[thrilling the hearers. During the per
formance of Athalle the queen took her
departure, returning to Buckingham pal
ace by the same route she took just half a
century ago. Throngs awaited the return
of the cortege, and repeated the enthusiasi
displayed in the afternoon.
"The Experts" Scouted.
BUrE, June 2.--The Inter Mougtaein
quotes a paragraph from the Northweet
Magazine which said that Northern Pa
cific experts spoke unfavorably of the
Sand Coulee coal field. The I.ter M.6n
tain says: "This is a case of the wish

him on Mills, Glynn COrrie & Co., who
are the recognized outside bankers of the

demanded the cash for the check. They
had not so much money on hand and were
obliged to ask him to wait until they
could go the Bank of England and pro
cure it. When he had secured the cash
he went to the other bankers to make a
deposit. The second house refused to ac

explained the circumstances of his busi

money enough to meet such a check, or a
