A St. Petersburg dispatch states that •t is reported a marriage has been ar ranged between the czarewitch and uchess Elsea of Wiirtemburg. A St. V incent, Minnesota, dispatch says that on account of the strict en forcement of the anti-Chinese regula tions elsewhere the Celestials are be ginning to swarm over the Minnesota borders, which are guarded only by six customs officers. The general election occurred through out Chili Sunday. So far as known there were uo disorders. Electors were chosen, who will select a president next month. There is no indication as to who will he elected, as no candidates have yet been announced. The clerical party *ay they have seenred a majority in the house of deputies, and the senate will probably be controlled by the liber als. The exact result will not be known for several days. The Oregonian's special from Port Townsend, Wash., says: Thirteen smug glers were captured on Ban Juan island by the revenue cutter Wolcott. Captain Tozier sent a steam launch to guard the island a week ago. Several men were sent from the launch disguised as ship wrecked sailors. They went to a cabin of the smugglers and asked for shelter. After being there for two days, and hav ing secured sufficient evidence against the smugglers they sent for the cutter. Friday night the Wolcott went to the island, captured thirteen of the gang and cut off the escape of others. Ma rines are guarding the island and it is expected the entire gang will he cap tured. The smugglers are said to he well organized and their operations are extended over a large territory. In a letter addressed to the postmas ter general of Canada, Postmaster Gen eral Wanamaker says that the Louisi ana Lottery company has established an agency at Toronto and is flooding the United States with itscirculars, in sealed envelopes, from that point. As all lot ter y tickets and lottery circulars are held to he liable to custom duties, post masters at United States exchange offi ces have been instructed to place upon mail matter which they believe to con tain duita'ttle articles: "Supposed lia ble to custom duty." At the office of destination such matter is opened by the addresses in the presence of the customs officer, and if found to contain lottery matter it is forfeited to the United States. Postmaster General Wanamaker has asked the Canadian postmaster general if it would he proper to instruct the post master at Toronto to so stamp the letters mailed there by the agent of the lottery company. If that course is pursued postmasters at United States exchange offices, he says, will make a similar endorsement on behalf of this country. A horrible accident, resulting in the death of three members of the Chicago Inter Ocean staff and serious injury to several other passengers, occurred on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad on the 15th inst., at Crete, 111. The dead are: Leonard Washburn, sporting reporter for the Inter Ocean; Fred W. Henry, reporter; J. A. McCafferty, artist, recently from St. Louis; James Clark, engineer. At Crete the train ran into an open switch. The men killed were on the engine, Henry and McCafferty having gone out for the purpose of writing up and illustrating a midnight ride on the fast train, and Washburn, who was returning from an Indiana trip, having joined his friends on the engine. The accident came without warning, and as the locomotive plunged from the track the men were caught and com pletely buried beneath the wreck. Pres ident Saul of thn Chicago & Eastern Il linois road, started with a special train for the scene of the wreck as soon as no tified. Medical aid accompanied the president and everything possible was done for the injured. The engine and baggage car were completely destroyed, and two passenger coaches and a sleeper were more or less damaged. The round house at the switch was destroyed and fell upon the wrecked engine. Fireman Laffertv jumped from the engine and escaped with slight injuries. A Chicago dispatch says: The stars and stripes are to wave 1,120 feet above the ground during the world's fair from an American tower that will outdo the Eiffel at Paris. The builder is to be Andrew Carnegie of Pittsburg. Over 25.000 people will be accommodated in the tower at one time, and two of the many elevators are to start from the ground and run more than 1,000 feet up without change or stop directly to the lookout landing. The width of the tower at the foundation level is 440 feet in each direction. The Keystone Bridge company of Pittsburg, one of Carnegie's concerns, has agreed to construct the metal portion of the tower and have it completed February 1, 1893. The actual cost of the tower is estimated at $1,500, 000, $2,000,000 leas than the Eiffel tower, the difference being m the greater sim plicity in design and the use of standard and merchantable sizes of steel. There are to be three landings, the first, 200 feat from the ground, will accommodate at one time on the colonade 4,000 or 5.000 people. Inside the colonade is a space sufficient to build four hotels or restaurants, besides numerous booths for the sale of different articles. The second landing is desired as a grand promenade in the day time and a danc ing hall in the evening, and will accom modate 5.000 people. The upper land ing is 1,000 feet from the ground and will accommodate 1,200 to 1,500 people, asd abu v 0 this there will be offices for the signal service, scientific investiga tion, etc. Above this is to be a circular eleetrie railway carrying electric fights at night and signals by day. Above this will be a lighthouse, to be provided with the most powerful reflector ever constructed, surmounted by a flag staff. j is of of Mrs. Allen G. Tburman died Satur day afternoon at Columbus, Ohio. It is officially announced that.Balfour has been appointed first lord of the English treasury. Pat Killen, the noted heavyweight j prize tighter, died in Chicago Wednes day. The cause given was erysipelas. Assistant Secretary Spaulding has notified the collector of customs at San Francisco that Chinese persons are not to be allowed to land unless they pro duce a certificate from their government showing they are not of the prohibited class. The secretary of the navy has signed the contract with the Iowa Iron works Dubuque, Iow'a, for the construction of Torpedo boat No. 2 similar to the "Cush ing," for the sum of $113,500. It is to be of 120 tons displacement and must be completed within a year. A Washington special says: Secre tary Rusk has received a dispatch from President Canteneinof the Italian cham ber of commerce, New York, announcing that he has received advices from Rome that the ministry has unanimously de cided to abolish the decree shutting out Amerioan pork. The secretary of war has issued an order declaring that wherever in general orders the limit of the punishmant of a deserter is regulated by the length of time he has been "in the service'' this expression has reference not only to the soldier's present enlistment, but to all previous enlistments as well, service ia the navy and marine corps included—in other words, to the aggregate of his service. A passenger train on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad wbb de railed near Monmouth, I1L, Wednesday by an open switch. The whole train of seven cars, save the sleeper, turned over on its side. The killed are: Engineer A. L. Emery of Galesburg, Traveling En gineer George Courtney of Galesburg, Mrs. George Allen of Lamone, Iowa, and Frank L. Johnson of Avon, 111. About eighteen were seriously injured. Returns from the Chilian election shows an overwhelming defeat of the clerical party. The liberals have a large majority in the electoral college, the duties of the members of which are to a great extent similar to those of presidential electors in the United States, with the important difference that the members themselves select and appoint the chief of state. The popularity of the liberal party is shown by the fact that it has_elected thirty candidates for the senate, while the clericals elected two. In the chamber of deputies the liberals will have control of the house with a majority of thirty, the returns showing the election of sixty-tw'o liberals and thirty-two clericals. A Washington dispatch states that the people of this country will have re newed interest in affairs at the national capital on and after next Monday. It is authoritatively announced that Secre tary Blaine will be found at his desk in the state department next Monday af terneon. It is apparent that he will ar rive here in an unostentatious manner. While his plans are not fully known, it is thought he will pay his respects to President Harrison before going to the state department. That he will be warmly greeted by the president is not doubted. Whatever may be the feelings of these men toward each other, their actions in public are sure to indicate that they are in no manner esti anged. The president's supporters still maintain that Blaine will not be a candidate, and the friends of the plumhd knight are just as firm in their assertions that if the presidential nomination is tendered him he will not refuse it. Chief Harrington of the weather bu reau in his report of the operations of the bureau since its transfer to the de partment of agriculture, July 1 Inst, says the service has been reorganized with a view to carrying out the express ed intention of congress to especially develop and extend its work in the in terest of agriculture. Since July 1 new services have been organized in Arizona, California, Utah, Florida, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyom ing. The most practical and most high ly complimented portion of the work of the state service is the issue of a weekly weather crop bulletin. On September 30 there were over 1,200 weather signal display stations in operation, an in crease of about 100 per cent in less than three months. There are now probably 2,200 voluntary observers in the United States reporting to the weather bureau and steps are being taken to cover every section of each state and territory so as to leave no section without stations from twenty to thirty miles apart. A Millionaire Heire»». A Butte special of the 17th says: Mrs. Ann M. Dodge, an inmate of the poor house of this city and 80 years of age, received news today that she is sole heir to an estate worth $8,000,000 in England. The story dates back two centuries, at which time her great grand father on her mother's side owned a vast estate near London. His oldest eon re moved to America, settling and marry ing in Virginia. Two children, William and Annie, were born of the marriage, the latter the mother of Mrs. Dodge. The son and hin wife died and the two children moved to Kentucky. Both died forty years ago, leaving Mrs. Dodge and a sister. They moved to Miseouri, where Mrs. Dodge's husband died twenty years ago. Five years ago an article ap peared in an English newspaper telling of the estate and the lost heirs, and the fact that the eetate was in the hands of public administrator. Mrs. Dodge be came convinced that it was her family history related. She laid the case be fore a relative named Ross, recently of Minneapolis, and he went to London to investigate the matter. He returned an encouraging letter, but since then noth ing has been heard from him and it in not knewn where he is. Then she placed the matter in the hands of her nephew, William T. Coleman, a wealthy - canning manufacturer of San Francisco. Meanwhile she came to Butte to visit her daughter, Mrs. Charles Ragsdale. •She was taken sick, and accommodations not being good at the miner's cabin sbe was removed to the poor house. She has now reoeived letters confirming her right to tbe estate and has forwarded letters, documents, family bible, etc., to prove her claim. District Court.

Sunol beat the world's record on the Stockton, California, track Tuesday, making a mile in 2:08*4, beating Maud S.'e time half a second. It was a fast mile from the start and the mare finished strong. She had been driven four miles—one rather fast. When she was found to be ready for the event of her life Timer O'Brien, of tbe Polo Alto stables, was stationed at the half mile pole with a runner to accompany Sunol to the finish, but she went alone the first half mile. President Shippee shouted "Go!" and Sunol went out to win a record that Marvin has been working for so long. "She'll break a record in that slip," they said in the timers' stand. Sunol was guided along just ineide the center of the track which had been prepared for her, and Marvin cautioned her with his long drawn-out "whoa" to keep her from becoming too excited. She went to the quarter post in :31%, and kept on at her wonderful stride to the half-mile post in 1:04 flat. Here Timer O'Brien came into the race with a runner, and as the start was made on the second half, an excited horseman in the stand shouted: "1:04; she'll bent it!" The mare came around the turn faster than any man ever saw a trotter go, and reached the three qunrters-poet in 1:37. As she came down the stretch to the finish the ex cited timers shouted: "She's got it; she'll beat it!" Sunol came home in a magnificent finish. Marvin knew he had the race and he encouraged the mare, all the while calling on her but not using the whip. Everybody shouted as she went under the wire in 2:08«. It was the gameet finish ever seen on a race track, and the mare seemed to be proud of the performance. There were no watchee on the grounds to dispute the oorrect ness of the record, except to make it faster by a quarter of a second. The crowd yelled like a crowd of crazy men, and cheer after cheer went up for Sunol. Marvin was warmly congratulated, and ns he was going to tbe stable he ■aid, "They will hammer at that figure a long time." Mrs. Kate Edgerton by her attorneys, Cardwell and Botkin, kas filed com pUlnt against E. D.

[From the Picket.J In a short time Grant Foster and Dan Morse will commence work again on the Cora Lee mine and work the same con tinously all winter, and should the mine show up as is thought by tbe owners work will go right along. In the Bpring it is the intention to do considerable work on the Annie Main lode. James Virtue, the contractor on the ditch for the Rocky Fork Town and Electric company, has a force of men and teams at work and is making good progress so far. The graders were at work Monday on the hill east of town. ThiB ditch will probably be completed in two months, but we are not informed as to the exact time for its completion. It is a fact that a good quality of cok ing coal has been discovered within a few miles of Red Lodge, and as we are sworn to secrecy until the discoverer has all his plans perfected, can not tell the locality of the new find. If this should prove to be an excellent quality of coking coal it will only add another feather in the cap of Red Lodge. Homer S. Davis, one of the mine owners at Grove Creek, about ten miles from Red Lodge, is making preparations to work his mines this winter. It is his intention to commence work on the Lilly Gay lode and run in a tunnel several hundred feet and tap the main lead on the Eva L lode. The properties owned by Mr. Davis are good and when they are sufficiently developed, they will be rich bullion producers and worth much to Red Lodge. For the past week the Scott brothers have been showing in town some crude petroleum that they claim they found out near Rosebud lake. The samples that they brought in look a good deal like old North Carolina tar and has a strong smell of coal oil. The boys were fishing on a creek near tlie lake and saw a scum on the stream that looked like oil and on going up the creek quite a way made the discovery. We are not excited. Information Wanted. Information is wanted by his parents of John Stephens, aged about 14, who left his horns at Fort Lcgan, Montana, two months ago. He was last seen on the road between Henry's lake, Idaho, and Dillon, Montana. His father and mother are very anxious to get a trace of him. Address, Jos. Stephens, Fort Logan, Mont. (State papers please copy.) Teacher's Reading Circle, The committe selected by the county and city superintendents for the pur pose of arranging a state reading circle, met at the office of the chairaian, R. G. Young, on tbe 12th inst. The plan of organization calls for a careful study of two books, "Page's Theory and Practice of Teaching," and the "Lights of Two Centuries," by Edward Everett Hale. The former pertains wholly to the spec ial work of the teacher, while the latter is in the line of general culture. The expense of belonging to the reading circle is nothing beyond the cost of two books, which is $2.20. These may be obtained by properly filling out the en rollment card and sending to me with the remittance, or calling in person. Any one may join the reading circle, whether teachers or not. Such persons may substitute "Barnes' General His tory," at a cost of $1.50 for the "Theory and Practice." This is a grand work, one that will do much to raise the standard of our teachers and increase the efficiency of the school. Eva M. Hunter.
