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 jubilant. di 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, VThe Jnorporation Bill.

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 se the city. a Its MONTANA IN GENERAL. a Sc The Pyke opera company is singing in t h elena. ks The Helena public schools open on sd Monday.

"_ 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. r A New Gambling Scheme.

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. Elmzra Gadette. it The World Indignant. NEW YORK, September 7.-The World d is very mad because Justice Field decid. ed that Senator Stanford need not answer o n certain questions put by the Pacific Rail- t 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 d dication by the Federal court in Califor- n g nia was very appropriately celebrated by y the banquet at which the railway king and t one of his "agents" sat down with the judges who sustained his refusal to answer g questions on the ground that it would criminate him.
