Dan Voorhees Makes a Guess-Plot- n
ting, for Statehood-Etc.
VICTORIA, B. C., July 2.-Senator Voo
rhees ot Indiana, while here on his way to
Alaska, said that a commission would be q
appointed to inquire into the fisheries
question. Voorhees thought the question
would form an issue in the next presiden
tial campaign. Blaine's action in the
eastern fisheries dispute might gain him
the nomination. Without doubt Blaine d
would be a presidential candidate at the tl
next election, and though he might be r
nominated, hl thought Cleveland,if nomin- d
ated, would win the election. The only
thing that would lose the election for Cle- i
veland was the formation of a third party.
Voorhees was alarmed at the strength of o
Henry George in New York, and also Dr. I
McGlynn, who controlled the Catholic
vote, but there was a probability thatat the i
last moment there would be a throwing'of t
all this strength with the Democratic r
party.
Opposing Statehood.
SALT LAKE CITY, July 2.-The Peo- i
ple's party announced recently that the
time is propitious for Utah to apply for ,
statehood and called mass county conven- I
tions to nominate delegates to a constitu
ticnal convention to be held here.
The chairman of the Democratic terri
torial committee refused to co.operate in t
the movement and gave long explanations
for adopting that course. The Republi
can chairman likewise refused. He said:
"When your Mormon church shall have
abandoned its pretensions as a temporal I
power we will consider whether Utah,
though Mormon in population, may not I
be safely trusted with statehood. Certain
ly for the present we cannot consent to
make the experiment."
Simmons Acquitted.
SArTsAs. Cal., July 2.--E. T. N. Sim
mons, charged with arson in having set
fire to the Hotel Del Monte, was
acquitted on the first ballot. The Hotel <
Del Monte, situated in Monterey, was the
principal summer resort of the coast, and
the structure, costing over half a million
of dollars, was totally destroyed by fire on
the night of April 1 last. Suspicion
rested on E. T. M. Simmons, the former
manager of the hotel, as having fired the
building, and he was arrested on the
charge of arson. The motives alleged for
the act were revenge for his removal and
a desire to conceal a shortage in his ac
counts. The evidence was purely circum
stantial, and the defense submitted the
case without the production of a witness.
In Helena Again.
ITELE.-A, July 2.-Major Maginnis,who
returned yesterday from St. Paul, made a
trip to the end of the track of the Mani
toba road. He says it runs through a
pleasant and fertile country, though west
of Minot there are as yet few settlements.
Work on the road is going forward at the
rate of four miles of track per day. For
a hundred miles in advance of the end of
track the route is lined with an army of
men and teams, building the grade and
putting in bridges. The major will pro
bably remain in Helena the rest of the
summer.
Railroad and River.
][ELENSA, July 2.-Commodore Power
says the Manitoba has already made
through passenger rates to Montana points
and will make a freight schedule via Bu
ford and the river. As to wool rates, Mr.
Power said that the Northern Pacific 7wool
rate from Helena had been reduced with
his sanction, lie having had a traffic ar
rangement with the road. He did not
think the Manitoba road would make any
material reduction from Fort Benton. Mr.
Power says the country generally looks
fine but no where so well as in Montana.
The Best Route.
HELENA, July 2.-The Montana Cen
tral's line from Helena to Butte, now in
course of construction, will be 73 miles
long, and at a 25 mile per hour speed its
trains should transport passengers from
place to place in about three hours. The 1
present roundabout route is 100 miles long
and it takes five hours to cover it by the
fastest train. Besides the trains often fail
to connect and both passengers and freight
experience vexatious delays.
Thanks the People.
Lo-nDon, July 1.-Queen Victoria thanks
the people in a letter for the enthusiastic
reception she met with on jubilee day.
She says: "It has shown that the labor 4
and anxiety of fifty long years, twenty-two
of which were spent in untroubled happi- i
ness, shared by my beloved husband, and
while an equal number were full of sor
row and trials, borne without his sheltering
arm and wise help, have been appreciated
by my people."

A Great City Predicted.
Secretary Nichols has received the letter
appended from Mr. J. Fletcher Williams,
the secretary of the Minnesota Historical
Society, who is widely known for his
learning and warm interest in the historic
lore of the entire northwest:
SAINT PAlm, June 25.-My Dear Friend
Nichols: Your circulars descriptive of
Great Falls duly received, and I read them
with much pleasure. Some twenty years
or more, ago, I talked with some miners
who had returned from Montana and they
gave me a very interesting account of the
falls of the Missouri and the country sur
rounding it. They then predicted that, at
some future day, a great city would un
doubtedly be founded on the site of these
falls. 1 have never forgotten what they
saia and your circulars call it tomind very
forcibly. Whenever you publish any
maps, descriptive pamphlets or anything
of that nature, please send me copies to
preserve in our library. I hope before
many months to visit the coming city of
the greatnorth west, and to see you again.
Yours truly, J. FLETCHER WILLIxAS.
Balm for her Bruises.
The following incident about a woman
who got hurt at a railroad crossing is re
lated by the Chicago Tribune. She was a
poor washerwoman, carrying home a bun
dle early in the morning, and as she was
crossing the track a switch engine struck
her. The engineer saw her when it was
too late, and, thinking he had killed the
woman, fainted.
But the washerwoman escaped with a
few cuts and bruises. She didn't know
anything about the liability of railroads in
such cases, but her friends told her she
ought to make the railroad company pay
her something, Acoerdingly she rigged
herself out and called upon the superin
tendent of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road.
"Well, my good woman," said he, "what
can I do for you?"
The woman told her story and said it
was her opinion she was entitled to dam
ages.
The superintendent was very courteous
t to her, and after she had done he said:
I "What do you think would be a reasonable
sum to repay yon?"
"Well," said the woman, "there's noth
ing srall about me; I think I would like
about $2.50.
r The superintendent sent the woman
home the happy possessor of a crisp $20
a note.
A QUEER CITY.
Gets Along Without High-Salaried
Tax-Eaters.
The situation at Lead City, in the Black
Hills, Dakota, is unusual in many respects.
It is a place of say 3,000 population, 1
without organization, incorporation, home
government or local authority. The
schools, courts, streets, health, police, fire
regulations are all under the control of the I
county commiss oners or are left to private
management. There is a justice of the
peace and a constable; the business men
employ a night watchman. If there is a
drunk and disorderly, the constable, with
the help of the nearest athlete, runs him '
into an old lcg shack that serves as a bas
tile, taking care to leave the door on the
latch, and when the cooling off is com
plete the customer walks out as well cor
rected as if a police justice and rounds
man or two had had the picking of him. I
Yet, with this lack of machinery, the town
is probably the most orderly and content
ed of any in the Hills. No one being in
authority perhaps makes the citizens more
self-regulating. The nearest approach
there is to a governing head is the superin
tendent of the IIomestake company, whose
advice is law in politics, schools and all
local affairs. The company, whose main
stockholders are the same as those in the
great Anaconda company at Butte, really
supports the town, and it employes make
up nine-tenths of the voters. A movement
was recently inaugurated by some of the
more enterprising and ambitious men to
get the city incorporated, but the Home
stake quietly set foot on it and it was
heard of no more. But it must be con
fessed that the authority of the company
is rarely and delicately used, and that its
policy with its men and its attitude to
wards the citizens and public enterprises
has much to do with the good order, health
and contentment, and everything to do
with the prosperity of the place. Owing
to the lack of the machinery of local gov
ernment, the board of trade has great in
fluence, and maintains unusual life and
efficiency for such an organization. Lead
City really has a high reputation for en
terprise and bublic spirit; she has no
government, but "she gets there all the
same." This case is a quotable one for
those who maintain that mankind is
governed too much.
