THE NORTHERN PACIFIC STRIKE.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IA Portland
dispatch says: The strike on the Northern
Pacific assumed serious shape yesterday.
After the rate of board was fixed at the old
price the men demanded $3.50 per day, in.
stead of So, as heretofore. This was refused
by Hallett, superintendent Of construction.
All Cinnamon were then driven from work.
Hallett, 1t Is understood, telegraphed to Mis-
s,ula for troops. Whether the commanding
officer furnished them could not be learned.
This msrning the ringleaders of the mob
threatened to hang Haliett. Engineer Thiel-
son with the paymaster started to the front
this morning with large sum Of money and
an escort Of twenty-five soldiers. While
men on the construction as rule are we'll
disposed, there are probably two hundred
sx-convicts and many fugitives from justice
Ia the crowd, to say nothing of band Of
desperate camp followers, and there is good
ground for fearing acts of violence.
SAN Francisco, Oct. IA Portland
dispatch says: General Wheaton, command
ing In Eastern Oregon, who sent troops to
the Northern Pacific front, tslegraphs now
that there Is no need for them. There have
been no acts of violence and 1t Is believed
that the strike Is over by this time.

Ginnis of this city, Grand Master Of Odd

Odd Fellows of the United States for contri-
buttons for the yellow fever sufferers at Tai

BRowNsvILLE. Oct 16.--Ten light cases
of fever at Fort Brown. Reports from all
other places inside the Gordon show q

Mier and Camargo say the death rate keeps
at ten TO twelve daily.
Weather hot; strong, southerly wind.
PENSACOLA, Oct. 10. - Sixty four new
cases of yellow fever; three deaths. 1t Is
probable that all three of the disabled phys-
clans will be on duty again the present

THE NoRTHERs PACIFIC STRIKE.

Superintendent Hallett came near having
serious trouble OH his Northern Pacific work
last week. While he was In Missoula his
board on white employees from S4.50to $500
per week. Tile white men struck. Hallett,
who desired TO push work rapidly, left Mis-
soula at once, reached the camp and com.
PEELED the boarding house people to return
to former prices. Then the employees de-
manded an advance Of their wages from 81
to $3.50 per day, which he refused, and they
struck again, driving of The Cinnamon and
some of them threatening personal violence
to Halett, who telegraphed for money to
pay off and troops to stand off the strikers.
II appears that both we're promptly sent for
ward aud that the strike ended without any
acts of violence further than stated above.
IL Is presumed that the Cinnamon also re-
turned to work, but 1t Is probable a consid-
cradle proportion of the strikers were paid
Off aud left. We are advised that prior to
the strike very many laborers were dissatis-
fed and desired to get down 10 the coast
before the winter set In, and that many were
leaving. Last winters experience Oh Pen
d'Oreille Lake was not a pleasadt one to
them. The effect of all this has no doubt
been to considerably reduce MIR. Hall'tts
working force. IL will not, however, make
material difference. The company could
not have reached Mssoula this winter.
T., Ia - Miss.uIa hat
will require several million feet Of timbers
to build, and this trestling at one point
reaches a height of 22T feet above the
ground. All this timber Is being got out at
and Is being brought from APPOINT 80 miles west
OF the trestling which cannot be commenced
until the track reaches IL. Even If the
timbers were delivered now, no one who has
enjoyed Montana winter would believe 1t
practicable between now and next April to
build trestling of that height, covered as the
timbers will be with snow and Ice, and
necessarily put In place at such q dizzy and
dangerous height. Ii Hallett's forces reach
the trestling, and the tmbers are delivered
for early spring work, they will have accom-
plished all possible, and with what are left
he can do that. 1t were as we'll for the
Northern Pacific company, and for the peace
and dignity of Montana, that only sufficient
men should he retained to accomplish this,
and to lay track next summer and 1T the
worse element OF ..the Hallett Army" retire
now to the balmy regions whence they
came. If, as the kilograms say, he has "two
hundred ex-eonvcis" aud "a baud of desper-
ate camp followers" Montana will excuse
them for the present and send for them
when their presence is essential to the pub
lie good.
Since writing the above, Mr.. Z. L. Bonner
informs us that the order for cutting and
delivering over one million feet of timbe r
for the high trcstling has been transferred o
z. L. Bonner a. Co., to deliver from this
side. The delivery Of sawed tin Der will
begin at once. IL is all to be on the ground
by March /, 1888.

As a MATTER OF JUSTICE.


The nomination Of Mr.. Botkin Is an illus
tration OF what we have said. lie was NOM
mated by the convention over snch . veteran
Republican a James ii. Mills, OF Deer
Lodge, who is an old timer, gentleman OF
fine address, in the full vigor Of health and
physical manhood, and who as the accom-
plished editor Of the NEW NORTH WEST Is
widely and favorably known over Montana.
Iftoo, any detection existed agains. Maglnnis
In the Democratic party IL was chiefly TO 10
fonnd upon the West Side, M Deer Lodge
and Silver Bow. Every suggestion OF policy
as well as justice prompted the nomination
OF q West Slider by the Republican eeaven-.
ton at Butte, and James III. Mills or Judge
Hiram Knowles were the min most feared
by the Democratic leaders. Undoabt dly
had the masses Of the Republican party done

would not have been defeated by Marshal
Botkiin That he was defeated, illustrates

bag politicians To manipulate conventions
and thus govern parties. Independent.
We thank ,ol. Wooi6olk, editor of the
Independent, for the above--thank him for
the kindly personal feeling evidenced toward
us and for the opportunity it offers TO do Mr..
Botkin justice. That Judge Knowles and
Mr.. Mills had some friends who desired TO
support them for Delegate is true. That
each has for year past on all proper occa-
sions stated that he would not he II candi-
date, Is equally true. Notwithst anding this
before Marshal Botkin said to any one that
he would be a candidate, he took occasion
to call personally on Messrs. Knowles and
Mills and say TO them that If either of them
would stand for the nomination, he would
under no circumstances 60 before the con
vention as a candidate; If not, he would;
and If nominated would make the campaign
as against Magpnis or any stronger man the
Democrats would pat up. Although the
names Of Messrs. Knowles and Mills were
subsequently proposed by friends in the con-
vention, 1t was known TO Marshal BotkiR
that neither were candidates. The fact that
the Deer Lodge delegation oh call of the roll
still named Mr.. Mills, was merely personal
courtesy, and the vote was changed to Mr..
Botkin before the ballot was announced.
Mr.. Mills was not present at the convention.
These are the facts concerning the Republi-
can nomination, and these being the facts,
Marshal Botkin should not rest under the
imputaton Of having forced himself in as
against the persons above named. He could
not have done more generously. He did not
do less.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Oct. 1l.-Dr. Lewis
Swift, director of the Warner Observatory,

Schmidt at Athens, is unquestlonably frag-
ment of the great comet, broken off at Its
perihelion passage. This proves that the

hence passed through terrible crisis. This
is the second instance on record where a
comet has been disrupted, the first one being

MODERN science has done much TO dispel
the superstitious belief that the appearance
Of a comet is sure sign Of an impending
calamity, although 1t Is singular fact that
nearly all of the more conspicuous Of the
erratic celestial visitors have been followed
either by devastating wars or awful pesti-
lences. Historians delight to relate how the
reign Of Cyrus was preceded by great
comet, and Gibbon speaks of ssthe long
haired star which was conspicuous In Rome"
after the death Of Cesar; while the decay of
the mighty empire was believed by n1ny to
have been heralded by . star with tail
which appeared In the nth year Of Justinian.
1t will be remembered, too, that our own
civil war was preceded by one Of the most
brilliant comets Of modern times. And now,
right on the heels of our present heavenly
visitor, comes Democratic victory In Ohio.
