ANARCHISTS EXCITED.
NEW YORK, September 16.-The news
of the affirmation by the supreme court of
Illinois, of the lower courts' sentence in s
the anarchists cases, created great excite- a
ment in New York among the socialists
and anarchists. Herr Most was furious. t
He rolled up his sleeves and proceeded to I
write a letter, addressed to the working- r
men of all countries. He characterized ,
the decision as infamous and the judges t
bloodshirsty fools and the jury as corrupt. i
"Workingmen", he says: "Will you peaca
bly allow this to take place ? The cruel- ,
ties of Nov. 11 cannot be prevented, but ,
the anarchists and workingmen must show t
their strength. An indignation mass j
meeting must be held at once and money
raised to fight the battle of justice and
the salvatioa of the martyrs Editor
Shevich of the Leader fiercly denounced
the verdict."
A CHICAGO PROTEST.
CHICAGO, Illinois, September 16.-The r
Arbeiter Zeitung, of. which Opies was
editor, in announcing the decision in the
,anarchist cases, says: "The supreme
court at Ottawa, the legal instrument of
the capitalists, has affirmed the outrage
ous verdict ashich decides t'.at seven of
our best comrades ...iall dufer the death
of martyrs for the ca:st--e of tlte laboring 'I
people, and that the ,tihers shall suffýr a "
fifteen year s-ntc- ce in thf penitentiary.
We are, however, the editor it the absence
of Spies and his comrades anu we will not
cry out for revenge at an inopportune
time, but will do everything that remains j
to be done." .a
Extensive Works. 0
ANAcoNDA, September i3.-Rapid pro- 1
gress is being made with the new works p
of the Anaconda company about a mile d
below the smelter. About 450 men are v
employed at the lower works in the va- f:
rious operations that are going on. There a
is one large building about 180x220 feet v
that is being framed at present, the heavy ti
masnry foundation having been com- tb
pleted. This building will accommodate n
eight furnaces. Right close to it the work- B
men are preparing the toundation of a J
building of the same size. The sixty stamp tl
silver mill is completed and ready for the J
power. The flume conveying the water, 3
power by which the new works are to be I.
run can be completed in about two weeks. ir
A large engine is on the way out, and p
when it arrives, in the course of a couple
of weeks, there will be nothing to prevent
the immediate operation of the mill.

He says: "During the night of the 9th I ,
was called to go to the Dearborn canyou no
v- to hold an inquest on the body of one Il
John Embody, who had been brutally w
16 murdered, and the cabin fired and partly ft
it burned. On examination I found he had hi

d says: "Montana belongs to the railroads th
that will occupy and develop it and no fir
- divisions of territory between any two or hi
e- three companies can or ought to be enter- H
ed into or recognized. We are sorry for Oi
the fact that the Union Pacific is not in

but it has no right to complain if other
!e roads better situated in command of their Gd
,d own resources enter and take possession. to
Such roads are coming and will continue
to come and spread their iron net-work

Friendly Sentiments. n
Mr. Jerry Collins of the Great Falls I
TRIBUNE, yesterday packed up his house- a
hold goods and shipped them to Great
Falls, his future residence, and this morn- tl
ing with his family left for that place by ti
private conveyance. We expect shortly n
to have the pleasure of seeing him in b
Benton again for a few days before taking
his final" leave of the city and people
whom he has faithfully and effectually
served as editor and publisher of a model
newspaper for so many years. If is need- i
less to remark that Mr. Collins' presence
Y will be sadly missed by a multitude of h
friends, as well as by those whoonly knew
1 him in a business way; for he is univer
sally esteemed wherever known, either in ti
social or business life -as much for his
quiet, unostentatious, pleasant manner, as
for his sterling worth as a man. He is a
1 fearless and impartial writer, whose pen
has won for him the proud distinction of E
being "one of the best newspaper men in 8
Montana," a position that need not be des
pised by the proudest and best journalist
in the land.-Fort Benton River Press

0. to Milk river to make an examination of

h Some weeks since the professer sent a
man to that district and has received for t
examination specimens from the various
Le ledges that have been opened, and juog

some good coal mines will be opened in i
that region. The coal, he says, is peculiar I
in many particulars an altogether differ
ent from any he has thus far seen in the
northwest. It seems probable that it will
bea good article for fuel, but its value for
steam and other purposes has yet to be
ascertained. It can not be coked.

The Manitoba continues to prepare for
ill opening day. There arrived yesterday
a:l Mr. George E. Allen, district passenger
i agent at Chicago and Mr. E. G. Jafray,
in traveling passenger agent at Des Moines,
in Iowa. These gentlemen, who have had
ire much experience in railroad affairs have 1
er. come to town to see for tlhemselves the I
location of Great Falls, the beauty of the
surrounding scenery and the industrial
x- resources of this locality. They visited
at the falls and Giant spring to-day and ad
a mired greatly the splendor of the scenery.
tc They are convinced that a great number
ye of tourists will visit this region and are of
opinion that every accommodation as re
gards low rates will be accorded them.
The Manitoba railroad is about to revise
La- its maps and folders so as to give the ful.
lest information about the Montana ex
tension and Montana Central to business I
men and the public generally. One of the
new maps will show the country between
Chicago, St. Paul, Great Falls and San
11s Francisco. Another n ap for shippers
M_ will be on a large scale and Great Falls
at will occupy a leading place thereon. J
Messrs Allen and Jaffray have come over I
n- the railroad from St. Piul to the end of 4
by track and will return with ample infor
ly mation relative to the country traversed
in by the line and the facilities for reaching t
other places therefrom. c
_ _ c
le Nearing Completion. t
ly The railroad grade between Great
el Falls and Fort Benton is rapidly approach
I.
ing completion and at this stage it can
oe readily be seen that there is considerable il
heavy work on the line between this city to
and the Bullhead station. From the lat- t
r- ter point to Benton the work is compara-; c
is tively light. The grade is now completed e
s throughout except a' the heavy cuts and 8
: fills, and there is no danger that the track 1
will catch them even at these points. The
work at Black Horse lake, where Jones
