CASCADE COUNTY.
Bright Prospects for the Bill-Helena di
Merchants Ashamed--Col.
Broadwater in the th
Field. si
The wires are down or interrupted some m
where to-day.* The latest advices received tr
last night indicate that the Cascade coun t
ty bill was making steady progreas. There TI
was a strong reaction against the course th
of the board of trade and some merchants
had begunto crawfish. They felt asham
ed that a commercial body should place
itself on record against a young city which H
has large dealings with Helena and asks
only a matter of right. It was expected M
yesterday that the bill would come up to
day for debate in committee of the whole, Eti
when som amendments might be oilri: d.
It was expected also that the bill would at
be ordered to a third and final reading by et
a strong, decisive vote. The presence of or
Col. Broadwater is encouraging to the
friends of the bill. His irrepressible en- N
ergy will be more than a match for Con- cc
rad and Sullivan who were hurried off
from Benton to over-ride the will of the by
people of Cascade county. ag
FOUR TO TWO hi
HELENA, September 8-- Noon.-The fr
committee to who the Cascade county bill
was referred decided to report it' favor- vi
ably. The vote stood four to two. It is bt
expected that the bill will be passed by pc
the house this afternoon and that it will hi
be sent at once to the council for concur
rence in the amendments. The approval ki
of the council will be accorded promptly. a
As amended in committee, the Dearborn wi
is made part of the boundary line and Mr. m
Downing of Great Falls is made sheriff in P'
place of MW. Steel of Sun River. b
THE FIRST SECTION PASSED. M
HELENA, September 8-4 p. m.-Sec. M
1 of tne Cascade county bill as amended te
by Mr. Taylor, taking in twelve townships D
of Lewis and Clarke, has just passed the F]
house. [Section 1 defines the boundaries K
of the new county. It is the most im- Rý
portant part of the bill and indicates ulti- Ti
mate success.] S
RECOMMEND ITS PASSAGE. G
HELENA, September 8-4:20 p. m.
House committee of the whole has just et
arose, after recommending the passage of
theCascade county bill. The only material ce
change was the substitution of C. P ar
Downing's name (instead of Steel's) for
sheriff. It will pass the house by a two- cc
thirds vote. Great Falls delegation here ja

Chinese Matters. M
NEW YOnRK, September 6-Fred Lubin, be
the old-time theatrical manager, intends vi,
to establish a genuine Chinese playhouse be
in this city, in the center of the ,Mongolian
quarter. Wong Lee, a Chinese interpre- hi,
ter, is to go to San Francisco and secure on
the services of the, Hong Kong Imperial ai
Dramatic company. The Chinese drama
entitled "Filial Love" will be first produc- at
ed in this city. Negotiations are pending
for the production of the play at the Star
theater, but in the event of the failure to
secure that house one of the up-town
theaters will be rented. of
NO CHINATrOWN THERE. fi
Los A.GELEs, Cal., September 6.- ti'
Chinatown, in this city, was completely
burned out four weeks ago, and a new
location was decided upon. The people
gathered in such force at the site of the N
proposed new Chinatown this afternoon
and used such stormy language that the
owners had to premise not to locate the
Chinese there. It is expected that the T,
Chinese will find great difficulty in secur- ct
ing any location in the city.
th
A (Great Mining Deal. rn
BUTTrr, September 6.-There is much B
talk relative to the sale of the Poor- aI
man and Leland silver-lead mines at
Burke, Idaho, to a syndicate composed of H
Butte mining and business men. The T
Poorman shows up a clean, compact and T
regular vein of high grade silver-lead ore, I,
and an immense body of concentrating
ore which can be extracted and treated
separately so that the first-class ore can
be shipped and sold without previous
treatment, while the other can be dumped
and concentrated at the pleasure of the
company. Marcus Daly, Kingsbury,
Clark, Burk and Warren are all connected de
with the ne w enterprise. t
Benton Rebuked.
HELENA, September 6.-The Independ- hi
ent says: "It js a cause for much regret tb
among fair-minded men -that the people
of Fort Benton should so far have per
mitted their county division feelings to
over-balance their judgment as to make a
public personal attack upon Councilman t
Collins. Thereby they have injured their I
cause, rather than otherwise, as yr. Col
lins is justly held in such esteem by his
fellow members of the legislature as
makes them resent any attack upon him p
and feel the reverse of kindly toward his
assailants." b
Expects a Settlement.
WassanoTO, Septembers 7.--Secretary h
Bayard said lately that he had great reason if
to hope that a fair and final settlement Y
would be reached of the difference which bw
had always existed between this country t
and Great Britain over the fishery since
1818, a final settlement of which had never
been reached. The secretary said Mr.
Chamberlain would find the United ~tates
ready to do her part toward securing goo8 at
feeling between the two countries. a,

Burlington and Quincy road tnis after
noon, and demand that the two crews
na discharged on Monday be re-instated,
also to demand of the Lake Shore that it
employ no more non-union switchmen at
the stock yards. Several non-union
switchmen had been employed there
since the big strike and the action of the
ne men to-day virtually resurrects the old
ed trouble. It was unanimously resolved i
in that if both request are not granted, a
strike would be declared in the evening.
re The strike would involve every-road in

Good Breeding Tells. tl
Every year, says the Helena Indepen- fr
dent, Montana horses show the strength of so
their breeding by exhibitions of speed di
upon the race tracks. This year trotting ni
and running horses bred in this territory ti
have been most prominent on the tracks, 01
though they have not made the fast time jI
in all cases. The strong strain of trotting qi
blood in the old Clark Chief stock has ci
shown itself in Ranchero, Rolla and Cot- fe
tonwood. "Huntley & Clark's trotting m
strains have shown their excellent charac
ter. In running horses, Blevins & Mc
Laughlin have taken lots of money with
deserving Montana horses. Huntley &
Preuitt's ed Boy blood has bean very w
prominent on the track and in the Fair ct
display. Regent blood and the stables of ti
Raymond, Armstrong and other Montana ss
breeders have all shown the capabilities of
of the territory in the production of pne s
stock. It is but lately that the business O
r has begun to be prosecuted, and it has as
i made wonderful advances. In but a few at
t years we prophesy Montana horses will si
be regarded as a distinctive class, famous -
i for speed and great endurance.

1i Sound, Liberal Opinions on the Sub
It ject from the Helena
a Herald.
e Citizens of Helena are more or less
d divided in the matter of surrendering a
d portion of Lewis and Clarke for the pur
a pose of forming the proposed county of
Cascade. Members of the city council
and board of trade have spoken, says the
Helena Herald, stating reasons for their
attitude against the creation of the new
county. From the public expressions
a thus far heard, however, it cannot be as
sumed that hostility to the project is gen
eral, or that objections raised to the pend
ing measure cannot mr inly be overcome.
The Herald has long and consistently ad
vocated the right of the people to local
government, whether applied to territories
, struggling struggling for statehood, or to
t smaller communities contending for coun
ty organizations wherever the people were
ready for such organization. We are per
t suaded that such of the antagonism to
Cascade; so far as, citizens of Helena are
concerned, will very considerably abate
when it comes to be understood that
amendments to the creating bill as to o
boundaries, delinquent taxes, compensat- w
ing consideration, etc., will be admitted to t
e meet any and all objections raised.
e CHOTEAU IS WELL TREATED.
Some of the people of Choteau, particu
a larly the citizens of Benton, oppose the
0 creation of Cascade, county for the reason,
as stated, that Choteau, in the event of
S dismemberment, would be left without
revenues derived from taxable property
o sufficient to meet its current expenses and
V interest upon its debts. The stock mor
n tality of the past winter is dwelt upon in
P support of the position taken by the recent
I Benton meeting, but as an offset nofac
count seems to be taken of the largely
increased real estate values and the ac
quiring of an extended stretch of railroad
y mileage that in a month's time will cross
e the broad limits of its boundaries. As to
a the indemnity, too, which the proposed
county offers to pay; that seems to be
;, lightly considered, or not considered at
s all. Thirty thousand dollars, stiuplated S
to be assumed by Cascade, is a round sum
subtracted from the debt of Choteau-ap
r, proaching one-third of its entire liability.
C, hoteau, it seems to us, would largely be
a the gainer, compared with Lewis and
Clarke or Meagher, by the creation of
Cascade county.-Helena Herald, Septem. U
i, ber 5.
PERKINS RALLIES.
J. L. Perkins, of Chestnut, is in town.
Mr. Perkins, although most of his inter
ests are in Helena, says he is heartily in
favor of a new county and all of his neigh
bohers demand it as a right.-Helena Herald.
f SUN RIVER'S OLD FIGHT.
Petitions have bee4n received by Hon. M
Jesse Taylor in favor of Cascade county,
containing the names of 1,200 persons
sworn to as a bona fide residents. The
petition from residents of Meagher county T
was unanimously signed. Opposition
comes from Sun River, which made a
strong fight for the county seat three years
ago.-Helena Herald, Sepeember 5.
It Was Awful.
"Oh, it was perfectly awful," said one
young woman to another in a street car
which had stopped on a Lake street M
switch the other day. "I was lying in the
hammock," she went on, "and was dress
ed in my pink nun's veiling- and, if I do
say it, you know I look pretty nice in
that- and-he was sitting in a porch chair
beside. It was a lovely evening, for there
wasn't a sign ef a moon, and even the 4
street lamp on the corner was not lighted.
We were having a delightful time, and he
grew more and more affectionate. Oh, it
was delightful! He held one of my hands
and kept the hammock swaying back and
forth. Finally he leaned toward me, his
face almost to mine, and I knew he was I
just about to say somethin awfully nice I
when-what do you think-the hammock ]
string broke! I had taken off my bustle t
so I could recline comfortably in the ham
mock, and, say, the way I struck that
porch--" But just then the car sped on.

d is very mad because Justice Field decid.
ed that Senator Stanford need not answer o

5 road congrossional committee. It says:
"It is such decisions as that of the Federal t
court ina California, and Judge Potter in .
the Sharp case. protecting rich bribers
from exposure and punishmentthat breeds 1
socialism in this country." Another par
agraph says: '-Autocratic Stanford's vin- I

y the banquet at which the railway king and t
one of his "agents" sat down with the
