The GreatNorthern Granted Right-of- I way Through Fort Assinaboine 1 Reservation. t ELraLNDALE, N. D,, Sept. 29.-Mayor Soefton of the city, who wrote to Jlames J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway campany, asking that conces sioen be made in the transportation of coal for needy settlers, has just received a copy of a letter sent by Hill to Hon. J. H. Fletcher, lieutenant governor of South Dakota, with information that the offer made to the people of that section will apply to Dickey county. Mr. Hill says: "If the communities that will need aid in getting cheap fuel on our line in the district you name will make some organ isation to take charge of the fuel matter, we will carry their coal free to the ex- I tent of one thousand tons, or mcrr, if necessary. We desire, however, to avoid coming under the inter-state law i in regard to carrying coal I for those who can afford to pay, inasmuch as the law would compel us to carry for all alike, and again, our experience in the past in t such cases has been that many people who are abundantly able to pay take ad vantage of such circumstances to get their own coal hauled for nothing. For the last year both in North and South Dakota the matter of fuel, transportation I of supplies of various kinds and furnish ing a guaranty on seed wheat have made the burden unusually heavy on our rail road, and while we desire to help as far as we can to alleviate suffering of the settlers, it is necessary that we should at the same time protect the company from any imposition on the part of those who are not in need."

The weather was cool and the track perfect. Nelson, the great stallion from Maine, trotted to beat his own re cord and the world's stallion record of 2:12 and lowered Itone-half second. Both owner and driver, C. W. Nelson of Water erville, Maine, were loudly cheered. Nel -on said: "I have come all the way from Maine, where we have snowballs for breakfast nine months of the year, to get ,this record on the fastest track an theworid. I am the happiest man in existence, for I have the beet and fastest stallion in the world." Fauatina, the famous two year old, driven by John Dickerson, trotted to beat her record of 2:2035, and lowered it to 2:241¢. The last half was made in 10~0t. R" G. DUN a CO.'S REPORT. Tae ommnereMl and Manahetatunag Intr Beta of the Couatr7 in Good Condlitmn. Now YonR, Sept. 28.--. G. Dun & t Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: t Liquidation In nearly all kinds of specu- o lation comes to disappointment of many, e in connection with largely increased sup- t plies of money, and prepares the way for a healthier trade in alllegitimate branches. With lower prices there appearsa decided improvement in exports of products, and the decrease for the past three weeks is now only 4.7 per cent., comparing with last year. Imports are much en larged by effort to get goods into the country before the new tariff goes into I effect, but the current accounts of each increase are exaggerated; the value of all imports fur three weeks has been but I 15) per cent. above last year's record. Considerable increaseappears in woolens, lineas, silk and other dry goods, but there is fair prospect that merchandise exports will now exceed in value the im ports for the month. Grain does not move freely as yet, but exports of cotton exceeds last year's materially, and pro- I visions move in large quantities. Reports from other cities show re markable activity in all branches of legi timate trade. The exces of bank clear ings over those of corresponding weeks last year, in all citlies outside of New I York, rises to sixteen per cent for month thus far, and at western and southwest. - ern ponts the gain ayerages about twen- I ty-three per cent. Though money is very active at most points, and rather stringent at many, the olasme of,buslness does not seem to be awhori9 curtailed thereby, and reports ato ieollbctions are much more favorable 'thn usual. rteet industries, as reports already cited ahow, are decidedly active, mill manufac turer having especially improved, with much more satisfacthry orders. aotton manufacture sustained by a large oe mend for resdo And the numerons minor destritee i9e cohange of duties Is fd to be tba Imld of greater soUvttv, rn is moe flMA at Ptilaadelpna .and i I not muk presd for as hure, though some Chicago sals in ths region e, re ported, but the demand for bar increases with advance ino pe, .ad plas asd structural mills are crowded though steel role are still luctive, emp tm rorement is also reported In coal.

General activity prevails in our camp, the clatter of carpenters' hammers can be heard Into all directions. A small sen satlpn was occasioned by Dr. McCann commencing to build a house on a lot he bought from the Compromise company. Mr. Muller, our county commissioner, entered a complaint against the doctor for obstructing the county road. A warrant was Issued and he was arrested and taken before Jultice Choate, who held him to appear at our next term of the district court and fixed his bond in the sum of $500. The doctor refused to give the bond and was sent to tie county jail. ie is now on his way to Livingston, being taken before Judge Henry'on a writ of habeas corpus. So ends theltrst chapter. Very few loungers or idle men areto be seen about our streets or saloons, there is work for all who are Inclined that way. But there appears to be enough laborers at present to supply the demand. A goodly number of strangers are coming in who appear to have an eye to business, and all of whom appear to be pleased with the outlook. The owners of ming claims-not pat ented-are now doing their yearly repre sentation work, and we hear almost dall' of large bodies of ore being discoverrd in the old locations in places where they were not known to exist. A Mr. Van Arnsdale, from Aurora, Ill., came in yesterday. He is making ~ gen eral examination of the mines. I have heard it is his intention to put in a smel ter here. The new Friseco hotel will open for business October 1st with a grand ball. Registration of voters is progressing slowly. Very little interest appears to be manifested in the election, but there Is time enough yet to start the pot to boiling. No one appears to be particu larly grateful to Mr. Carter for what he has done in congress for this partof Mon tana. NEIHART. How Longl O How laong The report of poor mail sevice betweent Great Falls, Barker and Nellhart seems to attract no attention from the officias. The office has been removed from Mann's to Barnum's, a distance of one hundred yards, and the driver of the stage refuses to stop at Barnum's for mail. Thus it accumlates at Mann's for weeks and is passed on to the camps only when some ranchman or traveler takesit. This state of affairs is an outrage on the people of that region. The Titou.N~ has discarded the use of the mail service to those points and finds the semi-weekly train to Monarch more reliable. nnumenfunl Exursalon. ob The excursion from Helena Sunday an was a big success. Over two hundred du came down from the capital. The train tu arrived 12:80 and time was allowed to the by visitors to take lunch. At 2 p. m. the an train ran down to Black Eagle falls, do where, through the kindness of Mr. Par- thb sons, the big blast was delayed for the ii benefit of the excursionists. Fully two by thousand people stood on the south bank gr of the river when the face of the cliff on in the opposite side was seen to tremble, or rocks were thrown high In the air and a tat dense cloud of smoke and dust rolled f1 down the river. The roar of the falls ad deadened the report of the explosion un til it was only a dull roar. The face of the cliff was torn out for about 400 feet and a large force will be kept busy for ip over a week clearing the loosened rock mi away. The blast was put in to make lt room for the buildings of the Boston & Montana smelter. About 45 minutes were spent in view- N ing the dam and falls, after which the t train was run down to Ranthow falls. ac Many of the excursionists hao never seen i this beautiful fall and were pleased with di the grandure of the scene. Concerning ,'1 the trip to the spring the correspondent N of the Independent says: "Next the train backed up to the Montana smelter Pt and tiant spring. Forty-five minutes th was spent there. The spring is a most wonderful freak of nature. A hundred bubbles forming a large pool make a ruf fled scene of laughing water,crystal pure of and which can be peered into for many feet. Nothing less than a river of water flows in hurried, dashing, splashing fall pi from this spring into the Missouri. Water al cress flourishes in this crystal pool in s great quantity, and looking down to the bottom is seen an endless variety of col ors. The spring Is a truly wonderfnul at eight, one that wordns can not properly at describe. Enough water flows from it to supplyeven as large a city as New York. To see this spring alone is worth a day's journey." The smelter was visited by many and ci at times several furnaces were giving forth their streams of white metal which $ the visitors saw cast into bars of bullion a of silver and lead. The train then returned to town where ' the wants of the inner man were again supplied. During the two hours pent g in town many of the excursloaste strolled through the streets and expressed satis- b faction at the progress shown. At 7 o'clock the train nulled out for Helena and it is safe to say that a better pleased party never left thlcapiiel.. General Peeseager A nt Llyl, as sisted by Traveling r ger A gent Hubbard, did everything possible to make the trip pleasant. OoCurgeat ona mOrgalsation.

WAsI.INIroO, Sept. 20.--After ten days i halrd work tihe conference committee on the tariff bill completed its work late this afternoon and reported the result to the house. The committee had to deal with 484 amsedmenta, many of them in volving cardinal differences of principle in treatment and many were the sabject of bitter controversy between conflicting interests. In tile more important items of this kind the result of the comnmittee's action was as follows: The date when the bill Is take effect was made October ith; February 1st next was fixed as the ul timate date upon which goods deposited in oand before October slt may be with drawn at the old rates of duty. In the case of sugar, in the place of a uniform bounty of two cents on grades of eighty and above provided by the house, maple sugar was included and other provisions for bounty adopted. 'ree sugar under 10 Dutch standard, and free admission of machinery for making beet sugar. On binding twine the rate is fixed at 7.10 per cent., but on tther manila cordage, rate is advanced from f1 per cent, to 1Y per cent. per pound, more than was agreed upon by either house. On pyrites, the senate rate of M cent per pound on that containing cop per is retained. On boiler and other plate, iron and steel, new grades are estab lished valued at two cents or less per pound, on which rates run from 0 5-100 to 8-10 cent per pound and higher rates for higher prices. In the case of tin plate the house late of 3y cent per pound sbove sheet iron rates up to July next and 2 2-10 cents after that date is retain ea. The senate rate of further additional duty of thirty five per cent on manufac aures of tin plate is replaced by absolute single duty of 55 per cent, and its stipulation for free 03 pound tin after 18900 in case of the failure of the domestic works to produce one-third of the consumption is retained. In steel angots and blooms the senate rate (lower by i-10 cent per pound) is retained on grades below 18-10 cent in value and above the higher house rate prevails. On iron and steel bars or plates cold rolled or blued, the higher house rates are re tained.In case of sawed boards and lumber of white pine the house recedes from its $1.10 rate, and the senate rate of $1 is adopted. The rates on wools and woolens are but slightly changed from the rates fixed by the house. The conferees agreed to the senate reo Iproclty and retaiatilon amendment, making but one change, which was in the date, changing it to January, 1892, in stead of July next. Bishop Shanaiy Protett,. Bishop Shanley, bishop of .Jamestown, N.
